Chapter 043

Brothers Cui Huan and Cui Jin asked almost in unison, "Please tell me, father, what is the purpose of this?"

"The disaster of the Zhang family came suddenly, and it was even more strange for Zhang Xuan to abuse Li Linfu in public. For a while, the old man didn't think deeply about it." Cui Ju said thoughtfully, "But after this series of things, according to the old man's judgment, I'm afraid Li Xiang's condition..."

Cui Ju didn't speak clearly, but just "tasted it out".

But his two sons are the kind of young talents who can see through a little bit, especially Cui Huan, who is calm and talented. joint--

"Father, in this way, Li Xiang's condition is quite serious? But it seems... I just heard that Li Xiang has been staying away from home recently, recuperating his body, and he is just a little sick. Why..." Cui Jin said softly .

"I'm afraid it's true. Li Linfu is probably dying of a serious illness. Seeing this, the emperor decided to give up Li Linfu's support for Yang Guozhong. Otherwise, how could the emperor be indifferent to a scholar who blatantly slandered an important court official?" Cui Huan mused. Said, "This time the emperor pardoned Zhang Huan, obviously to show favor to the Zhang family, but actually to give face to the Yang family."

"As for the talk of traitors and sycophants... In fact, it is not limited to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Even the emperor never denies that Li Linfu is not a good minister. It is just that Li Linfu is good at sharing the emperor's worries by observing words and expressions, so he has been reused until now."

"And that Zhang Xuan took the risk precisely because of this... In this way, he and the Yang family came together. In the future, when Yang Guozhong came to pay homage, the Zhang family would still suffer? In this way, Zhang Xuan's I can't match my talent and learning, and the world and means in my chest are beyond my reach."

Cui Huan sighed desolately, "I'm not as good as Yingmei when it comes to knowing people."

"Second brother, I don't think so. Even though Li Linfu is seriously ill, under the prestige, it is not something a little Zhang Xuan can bear. The Li family did not move, does it mean that Mrs. Guo Guo played a role in it?" The key role?" Cui Jin shook his head and retorted.

"Ms. Guo Guo is just a girl, and it's not enough to influence Li Linfu. It's just that if Li Linfu is seriously ill, all this can be explained." Before Cui Huan could speak, Cui Ju interjected, "Jiner, think about it, Li Linfu Once he is seriously ill, what is he most worried about?"

"The back road of the Li family." Cui Jin blurted out subconsciously, and suddenly realized, "Father, second brother, I understand. Zhang Xuan's move seems to be drunk and reckless, but in fact it has a deep meaning. He is involved with the Yang family. At this time, Li Linfu will never offend the Yang family again, for fear that the Li family will suffer retaliation from the Yang family after he dies of illness in the future."

Cui Huan nodded silently.

Cui Ju raised his head and sighed, "If this guess becomes a reality, there will be a big change in the Tang court. Now that the storm is coming, our Cui family must be more cautious. Fortunately, Yinger is favored by His Royal Highness Yuzhen, and has His Royal Highness Yuzhen's protection. , this is a big reliance."

"Zhang Xuan is quite extraordinary. He has talent, learning, strategy, and courage. He will have a bright future in the future. Huan'er, you should first go to Zhang's house to throw stones and ask for directions, and try to test his attitude."

"Yes, father." Cui Huan nodded, Zhang Xuan's familiar but strangely handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him, and his heart was slightly agitated.

************************************
Zhang Mansion, front hall.

Zhang Li excitedly ran in to report, "Madam, the third son has arrived at the gate of the mansion..."

Mrs. Liu immediately got up excitedly, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao looked at each other, and also got up with smiles one after another, "Sister-in-law, Xuan'er has finished parading the streets by order, and the plaque given by the emperor has entered the mansion. I will go out to greet you. Don't be rude."

Liu Shi nodded.

During the conversation, Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao and Liu Shi took the lead, and all members of the Zhang family went out of the hall to greet him.

Although Zhang Xuan is a junior, but now he is "acting according to the order", and with the emperor rewarding him to enter the mansion, Zhang Jiuming and others naturally dare not neglect.

The moment he walked into the gate of the mansion, Zhang Xuan had already taken off the red flower on his head. For a modern person, it is a bit weird for a dignified man to wear a red flower on his head. I don’t know where this Tang man came from. Such a ridiculous custom.

Seeing his mother Liu Shi and a group of elders coming to welcome him, Zhang Xuan regained his composure and strode forward.

"...Brother, I thanked my third brother." Zhang Huan stepped forward and cupped his hands to Zhang Xuan, his face flushed slightly, "Brother, I am really ashamed of what happened in the past."

"Brother why did you say that? We are a family. My brother was wronged and imprisoned. Zhang Xuan feels the same way. I should do my best to save my brother..." Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Huan secretly, seeing his thick appearance, his words and deeds, and his calm manner. Nod secretly.

Looking at his words and deeds, Zhang Huan's character and conduct are probably much stronger than Zhang Ning's.

Zhang Huan's wife, Mrs. Song, also came over with a son and a daughter, and saluted with a blushing face, "Third brother, the slave family has also apologized to the third brother, the slave family used to..."

Zhang Xuan chuckled, and replied, "Sister-in-law, where did you come from? Why is the whole family so alienated?"

Immediately, he squatted down again, pinched the pretty face of Zhang Huan's daughter Zhang Yan, "Yan'er, how about third uncle taking you and Liang'er for an outing outside the city in a few days?"

Xiao Zhangyan clapped her hands happily, and said crisply, "Okay, third uncle, Yan'er wants to ride a horse, the BMW bestowed by the emperor."

……

……

The Zhang family's attitude towards Zhang Xuan took a 180-degree turn, and their attitude was very hospitable and enthusiastic.As for the indifference and cold reception he suffered in Zhang's residence in the past, Zhang Xuan actually didn't take it too seriously, after all, there was "a reason for it".After all, it is a family. He wants to survive in Datang in the future. The Zhang family in Chang'an is his root. This cannot be changed no matter what.

Zhang Xuan didn't feel arrogant or arrogant because of "gaining power", and his attitude towards his family remained the same as before.

The whole family came up to greet Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Ning was the only one who avoided paying money, his eyes flickering.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhang Ning, took the initiative to walk over and greeted with a smile, "Second brother."

Zhang Ning didn't seem to expect that Zhang Xuan would take the initiative to greet him, and forced a smile in embarrassment, "Third brother, congratulations on receiving the emperor's reward."

"Hehe." Zhang Xuan nodded without saying much.

Although my impression of Zhang Ning was a bit bad, he was still the elder brother. The past is over, and everything has to be looked forward. Zhang Xuan didn't mean to hold on to the past.

"Xuan'er, let's go, let's go into the hall and hold a banquet to celebrate." Zhang Jiugao couldn't hide his joy, and patted Zhang Xuan's shoulder, "You have made great contributions to the Zhang family, and you have been rewarded by the emperor to parade through the streets. The whole family held a banquet to celebrate your achievements , welcome back.”

"Xuan'er dare not." Zhang Xuan smiled humbly, and immediately bowed to Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, "Please uncle and mother first."

Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao laughed heartily, and everyone laughed along with them.

Lang Lang's laughter and cheers filled Zhang's mansion. In this midsummer night, in this city of Chang'an, which is full of luxury, music and music, no one except Zhang Xuan, the traverser, knows that with the crisis of the Zhang family At the end, a bigger crisis that endangers the entire Tang Dynasty is imminent.
