Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 183 The Edict
Mr. Jiang looked at his grandson kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.

"It's not that the grandson doesn't want the two elders to stay longer. It's just that the city of Jiangling is covered with clouds of war, and it's definitely not a safe place. Seeing that the war is about to start, grandpa's goods, carts and horses may not be able to leave Jiangling. If there is a war, Repeatedly, if the two elders make a slight mistake, it is the grandson and father's fault!"

A smile appeared on Mr. Jiang's face.

"My dear grandson, how do you know that Jiangling is going to be a place of right and wrong?"

"In Jiangling City, coarse grains, rice bran, and other unpalatable foodstuffs have risen sharply. It is clear that the government took them to eat with those refugees and beggars. All the yamen moved together to send those people to the south. I am afraid that they gathered those people. It is used by people as civilian husbands; not to mention that the price of wound medicine has skyrocketed recently; during the entire New Year's festival, some goods from the northwest and northeast of Jiangling were all in short supply, and the merchant caravan was reduced by nearly half. The commercial road has been covered by the army. Now, the Wu army and the navy are also particularly slack this winter, and the opportunity to fight has been revealed."

Jiang Shangyang knelt down on the ground: "Grandson also only hopes that he thinks too much. Although he is very reluctant, it is better to ask grandparents to leave as soon as possible."

Mr. Jiang looked in surprise at the shocked "Jiang's old aunt".

"I didn't expect Huzi to have such an exquisite mind!? The future is truly limitless."

Little Brother Jiang blushed when he heard that his grandfather was overjoyed.

"The grandson didn't dare to take the credit, but these words were the opinions of Brother Zhang. He didn't tell others, but he couldn't bear the tragedy that happened to his grandson when he was the happiest, so he took the risk to tell the truth. The grandson also asked the elders to hide it."

"Don't worry, dear grandson," Mr. Jiang said with a half-smile, "Naturally, this matter should be kept quiet."

After the family had dinner, Jiang Zhongchao and his son reluctantly sent Mr. Jiang out of the door.

The old aunt of the Jiang family finally turned to Mr. Jiang after she could no longer see the shadows of her children and grandchildren behind her.

"Zhang Xinzhi took the risk to disclose this matter for the sake of Hu Zi, so please don't blame him and his wife for this."

Mr. Jiang snorted coldly.

"It's also because your subordinates are unreliable in their work. It's not easy to blame people for being too smart for being seen through so easily?"

"You are ashamed to intercede for them. If you hadn't told them in advance that I would summon Zhang Xinzhi in Jiangling, how could that boy conclude that I had arrived in Jiangling in person, and that I would go south from the court?"

Mrs. Shentu sighed.

"That's the most poetic scholar in your Dazheng, and Wan'er is my favorite disciple, but Huzi seems to be just such a friend since he was a child. If you want to deal with him, please think twice Bar."

The emperor sneered, with a strange expression on his face.

"Zhang Xinzhi broke Xilu with seven poems before, and he was proud of me, Da Zheng. I haven't rewarded him yet. How can I punish him instead of distinguishing right from wrong?"

In his mind, Yan Yun once again remembered a few words introducing Zhang Xinzhi.

"He has a clear understanding of world affairs, is good at seeing the overall situation from the details, and has unparalleled poetic talent, but he is timid to do things."

Gu Mansion, Zhang Zhe and Meng Xiaowan are looking at the accounts in the room.

Meng Xiaowan put down the brush and sighed with a smile.

"After being busy for the past few days, I finally put everything together. If there is no snow tomorrow, I will invite the old lady to live in the east yard together."

Zhang Zhe pressed the fragrant shoulders for his wife: "You don't need to bring too many things, if the old emperor wins the Southern Wu, he will call me to make a poem when he is happy, and he will have to rush back again. "

"I originally expected you to do something great outside," Meng Xiaowan rested her head in her husband's arms, "but now I hope that you will stay away from those things as much as possible, and it is best that you will never be summoned for the rest of your life. After leaving Wuling for more than a month, I don't know why I miss our days on Taowan. Across the wall, I listen to you coaxing me, letting me, and pampering me. There is also the courtyard, although it is small, it just accommodates You and me. The sky is sitting on the ground, watching the moon and listening to the lake, listening to your mouth full of firewood, let me be arrogant and frivolous. How can there be so many dangers? It is not easy to deal with those beautiful Huakuan ladies."

"Hearing what my lady said, I suddenly thought of the old tree in Taowan. I'm afraid it has become a cedar tree at the moment. I have long thought that when you pass by that tree, lady, I will kick on it. With one kick, the snow all over the tree falls, and there will be two more living snowmen under the tree. One male and one female, heaven and earth match."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Suddenly, there was a burst of flames outside the courtyard, and countless footsteps rushed into the Guihe courtyard.

Zhang Zhe pulled Meng Xiaowan behind him fiercely, and shouted loudly to the outside.

"Egret, white warbler!"

quietly.

The husband and wife held each other's hands tightly, instantly full of sweat.

"Zhang Xinzhi, a talented scholar in Wuling County, come out soon and accept the order!" A shrill voice laughed dryly in the courtyard outside.

Zhang Zhe, who had just pushed open the rear window, had no choice but to close the window silently in the face of four or five shining scimitars.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhe kissed Meng Xiaowan suddenly, and the two of them let go of everything in an instant, and concentrated all their strength and energy in front of their eyes.

After a long time, the two separated.

Zhang Zhe whispered in his wife's ear.

"Since the person outside is willing to wait for us for a few breaths, the possibility of disaster is not very high. I thought about it, and there is a high probability that something happened to Jiang Xiaodi, because I only told him about the emperor's conjecture about the Southern Expedition. Except for this matter, I really can't think of why the emperor treats me like this. No matter what happened, you pretended not to know about it, but you just obeyed my orders in everything. With Mrs. Shentu's relationship, you should be No problem."

Meng Xiaowan didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile, the tenderness and nostalgia in her eyes seemed to have turned into eternity.

The determination in that smile broke Zhang Zhe's heart for a moment.

Zhiniang thief, Zhang Xinzhi, what kind of person do you want to be! ?I can't bear it!

The door opened, and Zhang Zhe and Meng Xiaowan came out holding hands.

"Hey, it's really a deep love between husband and wife," the sharp voice came from a fair man in his 50s. Just by looking at his robes and snow-white skin, he could tell that he was a pampered eunuch in the palace.

"Accept the order!"

Zhang Zhe and Meng Xiaowan both fell to their knees when they heard the words.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, there must be auspicious omens for the prosperity of the world, and the prosperity of the country should be different. Zhang Shizhen, a scholar in Taolin, Wuling County, Xicui, Ci Kai Pu Gong,.., grant a declaration Lang, Lucong Bapin, ..., Suwen, Zhiwei, and good at propagating various words. Now Naliuqi is a transfer of private affairs. He has the right to lead the right battalion command of the Xunche Army. He will take office immediately, and there is no violation of Qin. This~!"

Zhang Zhe was slightly determined that the emperor had indeed compiled those refugees and beggars into transit husbands, and he himself was bestowed with an eighth-rank loose official "Xuan Yilang" because of his previous achievements. The emperor imprisoned the civilian husband's camp, probably in charge of the "Xunche Army Right Battalion" composed of [-] beggars, to help transport supplies.

Immediately, he wondered if the emperor had watched "Dragon and Babu", so he satirized himself with these beggars who were taken over by the "beggar gang".

When Zhang Zhe received the imperial edict, sure enough the eunuch spoke to Meng Xiaowan.

"The sage is busy with affairs and has no time to take care of the Lengmei Garden. He specially ordered Mrs. Meng of Zhangmen to enter the garden to accompany Mrs. Shentu. Mrs. Meng, please!"

Zhang Zhe felt that his scalp exploded, and he wanted to stand up suddenly.

The emperor wants to take Xiao Wan as a hostage!

The light of the knife flashed, and two long knives rested on Zhang Zhe's neck, but he stood up without any hesitation.

The two luan-clothed knights almost missed him with their swords.

Meng Xiaowan hastily gave him a hand, and responded obediently and respectfully.

"Master Meng obeys the imperial edict."
