Chapter 400 The Assassination of Zhang Xuansu

Zhang Xuansu was famous for his integrity, and was arranged by Li Shimin to be with the prince, hoping that the other party would become an admonisher like Wei Zheng.And Zhang Xuansu is also grateful for Li Shimin's kindness, and always speaks to the prince. Although Li Chengqian dislikes him, Zhang Xuansu believes that as long as he perseveres, one day the prince will appreciate his painstaking efforts.

In order to make it easier for him to enter and exit the East Palace, Zhang Xuansu settled his home in Laitingfang not far from the East Palace. There is only Yongchangfang between Laitingfang and the East Palace. It is very convenient to enter and exit through the Yanxi Gate.

Yesterday Zhang Xuansu wrote a letter to Li Chengqian, putting forward two opinions, the second of which hoped that he would drive away that favorite male favorite, but Zhang Xuansu knew that with Li Chengqian's temper, he would never read one of his memorials and dismiss him. People drove him away, so he wrote another memorial last night, intending to make persistent efforts, two copies if one copy is not enough, three copies if two copies are not enough, and he has to let the prince realize his mistake before playing Huadu.

With the great ideal of educating a perfect prince for the Tang Dynasty, Mr. Zhang Xuansu, who didn't go to bed until four o'clock yesterday, got up early again in order to catch up with the memorial. Mrs. Zhang had already prepared breakfast, and at the same time asked the servants to prepare the horse. After all, based on what she knew about her husband, he would definitely enter the East Palace to speak to the crown prince again today.

Mrs. Zhang is two years younger than Zhang Xuansu. She is a middle-aged woman who still has charm. Although her appearance is not very outstanding, she maintains a good figure. She and Zhang Xuansu are young couples, and they have a very deep relationship. Now She has two sons and a daughter, and her husband holds a high position in his prime. In the eyes of others, Mrs. Zhang almost has everything going well.Capital Datang 400

But every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Mrs. Zhang also has her own troubles. She looked at Zhang Xuansu who was eating breakfast, and after thinking about it for a while, she said hesitantly: "Husband, you are going to give the crown prince again this time. Will Your Highness speak?"

"Yes, Zi Yun, why did you ask about this today?" Zhang Xuansu put down the bowl and chopsticks after finishing his breakfast in a few mouthfuls and asked. Zi Yun is Mrs. Zhang's boudoir name. Since the two got married, Zhang Xuansu had always That's what you call your wife.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang looked embarrassed. It is said that she is a woman, so she should not say these words, but she is worried.If you don't say anything, your husband will get into trouble.Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang took a long breath and said, "Husband, I know that you are entrusted by His Majesty to help the prince correct his mistakes. Therefore, you should always speak to the prince, but the concubine thinks that your approach is wrong. of!"

Zhang Xuansu really didn't expect that his wife, who has always been virtuous, would accuse him of making mistakes in educating the prince, which made his face darken, and he said: "Madam, you said that my method is wrong. Then what method is it?" Yes?"

Seeing the displeasure on her husband's face, Mrs. Zhang was also nervous, but her intuition as a woman felt that if her husband was allowed to go on like this.Sooner or later, it will bring disaster to the family, so in the end, I gritted my teeth and said, "Husband, I know that you have an upright character, and you have always pointed out the mistakes of the prince. But don't forget, the prince is only 20 years old. Aged. And the temperament is obviously not as good as that of His Majesty today, if you continue to speak out so bluntly, I will worry about what troubles will be brought to my husband!"

Mrs. Zhang speaks from the bottom of her heart. Although she doesn't understand the affairs of the court, she knows how to teach children. It's a coincidence that she and Zhang Xuansu's two sons are about the same age as the prince. Zhang Xuansu usually has too many things , so she educates her son.But it was in the process of educating her son that Mrs. Zhang found that if Zhang Xuansu's method of picking mistakes and trying to get the young people to correct them would not achieve any effect at all, and would even backfire and arouse the other party's resentment.

It is also because of this discovery that Mrs. Zhang is very worried. Her husband is educating the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If the future Majesty of the Tang Dynasty offends the crown prince because of his direct remonstrance, will he find someone else after the other party ascends the throne? To question her husband from the beginning?This worry has been tormenting Mrs. Zhang, making her unable to eat or sleep well. Today, she finally mustered up the courage to raise it to her husband.

But Zhang Xuansu snorted angrily when he heard Madam's words: "Women's opinion, since your majesty entrusts you as a husband, you can't live up to the grace of God. The prince has made a mistake, how can I turn a blind eye to it, only by pointing it out in person, can the prince see his mistakes, even if he can't figure it out for a while, and even has prejudice against me, but as a subject, how can I be afraid of offending the prince And pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

During Zhang Xuansu's phone call, Mrs. Zhang said that she was blushing. She had read books before, and Mrs. Zhang naturally understood these principles, but she was just a "woman", and all she wanted was a stable family, so this is why I mentioned it. Come out, did not expect the husband does not listen at all.

However, Zhang Xuansu also felt that his words were a bit heavy at this time, and immediately continued: "Madam, you only need to help my husband manage the housework, and my husband will naturally deal with outside matters. As for what you said, after my husband Will pay attention!"

Mrs. Zhang is familiar with her husband's temper and knew what he said, but she didn't listen to her at all. She couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she still showed a happy expression on her face. She helped Zhang Xuansu tidy up her clothes, and then Send him out personally.And when Zhang Xuansu left with a few servants on horseback, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face finally reached the news, and finally she let out a long sigh before turning back to the mansion.

Zhang Xuansu is only middle-aged, and the weather is not too hot or cold, so when he goes to the East Palace, he usually rides on a horse. Given the distance between his house and the East Palace, he can reach the online game Thief God Invincible almost in the blink of an eye. latest chapter.

But when Zhang Xuansu rode the road to the intersection between Tingfang and Yongchangfang, suddenly a cold light hit his chest, the speed was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for people to dodge in time.However, although Zhang Xuansu is a civil servant, he has also learned a few martial arts, and his reaction is faster than ordinary people. When he saw the cold light, he immediately realized that someone was assassinating him with a bow and arrow.

Zhang Xuansu's thoughts turned, although he knew that he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't give up, but turned sideways desperately, but the arrow that was originally "shooting" at his chest hit his shoulder all of a sudden, and The arrow was so powerful that it passed through his shoulders all of a sudden. At the same time, under the pain of Zhang Xuansu, his body was also unable to stand upright immediately, and he shook a few times before falling down.

When Zhang Xuansu was assassinated, everything was so sudden that even the servants around him didn't react. They didn't wake up until they saw their master fell off the horse. They shouted 'protect the master', and then all the servants rushed up Go forward, form a circle, and protect Zhang Xuansu inside.

Zhang Xuansu was still awake at this time, pointing to the direction where the arrow came from, and said in a weak voice: "Quick! The assassin is in that direction, you send someone to chase it immediately, maybe you can catch up."

When the loyal servants heard this, they immediately separated two people to chase after the assassin, while the others remained vigilant.Laitingfang and Yongchangfang are too close to the imperial city, and the people living in the two workshops are some dignitaries, so the people who come and go at the street corners are also officials or servants of various governments. Among them, there are people who know Zhang Xuansu. When the other party was assassinated, he was also very shocked, and rushed to inquire. As a result, when he learned the direction of the assassin, he also sent many people to chase after him.Because Chang'an City is divided into two counties, Chang'an and Wannian, the location of the incident happens to be within the territory of Wannian County.

However, the assassination of Zhang Xuansu this time was obviously carefully arranged. When the servants who were searching for the assassin rushed over, they only found traces that someone had been there on the roof of a private house. As for the assassin and the bows and arrows they used, they had long since disappeared. .

Zhang Xuansu is an official of the East Palace, and holds two positions, and is highly valued by Li Shimin, so his assassination naturally attracted the attention of the relevant yamen, especially the unlucky Wannian county magistrate, who looked for the murderer like crazy. After all, if something like the assassination of a court official happened in his territory, he couldn't get away with it anyway. The only way is to catch the murderer as soon as possible to atone for his crime, otherwise he will wait to pack up and go home.Capital Datang 400

But it is a pity that no matter how people from all sides investigate, they found nothing in the end. Although some people saw the assassin, but at that time, the man covered his face with a black scarf, shot an arrow and immediately jumped out of the room to escape. I couldn't see the real face of the opponent, and as for the arrow that "shot" Zhang Xuansu, it didn't have any characteristics, because Datang allowed the people to use bows and arrows, so there was no place to check if they wanted to.

The case has come to a dead end. Although the person who assassinated Zhang Xuansu did not succeed, he just "shot" and wounded the other party. It seemed that he failed, but he managed to hide his true identity very successfully. The entire city of Chang'an was almost turned over for him. , but nothing is obtained, but is this really the case?

Just when Wannian county magistrate was about to be "driven" crazy by this case, and was even ready to pack up and go home, Zhang Xuansu, the victim, suddenly offered to close the case, and no longer pursue who assassinated him. Several other relevant yamen also received orders from above to seal up the case, and everything ended here.

For this strange result, everyone who followed the assassination case was taken aback, and when they analyzed the signs, they suddenly made a shocking discovery, and it was this discovery that made Everyone kept silent about this assassination case and dared not pay attention any more.In addition, some people were ecstatic about the result, that is, the magistrate of Wannian County, since the victim is no longer held accountable, there is no need to investigate further, as the county magistrate, he naturally does not have to bear any consequences, and his official position can be regarded as preserved up.

However, the case of assassinating Zhang Xuansu seems to have been frozen, but only a few people know that not everyone has put the assassination case aside. There is a person in Chang'an City who is using all his strength to find out about this matter The cause and effect!

Ps:

Li Chengqian's assassination of the ministers around him did happen, and more than one of them was assassinated by him, such as Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu, and he even planned to assassinate Li Tai, the dignified prince. Unbelievable.
