Chapter 093 Lobbying Yang Guozhong (1)

In fact, Gao Xianzhi also criticized Li Wan's behavior in private, thinking that Li Wan's behavior was too radical and too hasty.In particular, it is too absurd to use his Northwest Army Han to assassinate the young Donggong Secretary Lang Zhang Xuan.

But as a subject, since Gao Xianzhi decided to support Li Wan and respect Li Wan first, he could not interfere with Li Wan's actions too much, and could only make suggestions from the sidelines.Fortunately, most of the time, Li Wan could still listen.

The two soldiers who assassinated Zhang Xuan were turned back, and the scene of their corpses was naturally taken away by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.However, with Gao Xianzhi's influence and King Rong Li Wan's current power, Gao Xianzhi was not worried about being exposed.What's more, Dong Zhihe, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, was originally a party of King Rong.

The banquet in Rong Wang's mansion was in progress, under the light night, before the palace gate was about to close at night, Yang Yuhuan's imperial concubine's guard of honor quietly left the imperial city and went up to Mrs. Guo's mansion.

At this moment, at the door of Mrs. Guo Guo, a young man in common clothes and a bamboo hat walked slowly.

The servant guarding the gate was about to scold him, when he suddenly saw the young man take off his bamboo hat, revealing a young and handsome face that was very familiar to the servants in Mrs. Guo's house - Zhang Xuan!
The two servants were startled and couldn't help taking a step back.

The news of Zhang Xuan's assassination had already been spread in Chang'an City, the common people didn't know about it, it was rumored that Zhang Xuan had been assassinated and died, now suddenly seeing Zhang Xuan alive in front of him, how could the two servants not be shocked?
Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, waved his hands and said softly, "You two, my official Zhang Xuan, I have something important to see Mrs. Guo Guo, and I hope you can inform me."

Zhang Xuan's close relationship with Mrs. Guo Guo's mother and son is a well-known fact in Chang'an.The two servants didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly welcomed Zhang Xuan into the gate of the mansion, and at the same time rushed to inform Sanjie Yang and son Pei Hui.

Because she was worried about Zhang Xuan's safety, Third Sister Yang was in a state of anxiety, when she heard the news suddenly, she was so pleasantly surprised that she didn't care about changing clothes, and hurried out with Pei Hui in underwear and a fur cape.

Under the bright and clear moonlight, seeing the familiar figure of the young man still so tall and elegant, appearing in front of her eyes, Third Sister Yang ran over in a few steps excitedly, grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand, and her voice choked up, "You brother Xuan Son - you scared my slave to death..."

Pei Hui also came up to her excitedly. Seeing that her mother had lost her composure, she sighed secretly, turned her head away, and waved to the strange-looking domestic servant.

The servants and maidservants who were watching hurriedly dispersed, but this also confirmed a gossip that had been widely circulated in the mansion in the past: Mrs. Guo Guo had feelings for Zhang Xuan.

Of course, if you give them a lot of courage, they don't dare to chew their tongues outside.At most, it's just a kind gossip between the maidservants in the mansion behind each other's backs.

"Ma'am, Zhang Xuan is fine, please don't worry about it." Sensing the feelings gushing out from Third Sister Yang who couldn't care less about concealing it, Zhang Xuan sighed inwardly, gently squeezed Third Sister Yang's slippery hand, and then took a step back.With Pei Hui on the side, he couldn't help but express too much.

"It's fine..." Third Sister Yang looked at Zhang Xuan in a daze, and slowly came back to her senses, her charming face flushed, "Let's go, stay inside, don't stand here."

"It's a blessing that you are safe and sound, sir..." Pei Hui stepped forward and bowed, "Please come into the hall to talk, sir."

"Yeah. Pei Hui, tell me to go down, don't let the news of me in the mansion spread to the servants." Zhang Xuan nodded to Pei Hui with a smile.

……

……

In the living room of Mrs. Guo's mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the atmosphere was joyous.

Mrs. Guo Guo frowned and said softly, "Zi Zhan, who is so vicious and wants to kill you in broad daylight at the feet of the emperor? You tell the truth to my family. I must vent my anger on you!"

Zhang Xuan's heart warmed, no matter how the woman in front of her was criticized by others, she was sincere and infatuated with herself, without adding any water; she may be sorry to many people, but she must be able to forgive herself.

"Ma'am..." Zhang Xuan just called out, but saw Third Sister Yang glance over resentfully, paused, hesitated and said softly, "Sister San, I actually guessed who this person is, but If there is no evidence, it’s useless to say it. I have my own opinion on this matter, so don’t get involved.”

Third Sister Yang is also quite scheming, she thinks a little, and concatenates a result that is not bad from some of the current messages, both explicit and private.

She stared at Zhang Xuan, and said in surprise: "Could it be Rong Wang Li Wan?"

Zhang Xuan smiled, a sternness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Third Sister Yang sneered, "That's right. Li Wan wants to take Li Heng's crown prince, so you assisting Li Heng will naturally become a thorn in his side. But what about Li Wan? The servants are not afraid of him! Zizhan, you are here The slave family will take care of themselves here, and the slave family will go to the palace tomorrow morning to meet the imperial concubine, and I must avenge you for this!"

"Third Sister, there is no rush. The crown prince is in danger now... You go and send someone to see if you can invite Yang Guozhong. If Yang Guozhong doesn't come, tell me that the imperial concubine is coming to your house tonight. I believe it, Yang Guozhong will come."

Zhang Xuan spoke softly.

Third Sister Yang was taken aback, "Your Majesty is going out of the palace to come to my slave's house?...Are you sure?"

"The empress has already left the palace, and I think she will arrive when there is another cup of tea." Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Pei Hui and said, "Pei Hui, why don't you bother me to go to Yang Guozhong's place?"

Pei Hui was startled, but immediately nodded in response, "Well, sir, I'll just go there."

Pei Hui turned around and left after speaking.Not long after Pei Hui left, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Ma'am, the imperial concubine is here—"

……

……

Without any maids or maids, sisters Yang Sanjie and Yang Yuhuan walked into the hall side by side, talking and laughing, and sat down next to each other.After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Yang Yuhuan suddenly looked around, his expression changed and he said softly, "Third sister, where is Zhang Xuan's boy, let him come out to see me."

As soon as Yang Yuhuan's words fell, Zhang Xuan turned from behind the screen and walked forward, bowing down under Yang Yuhuan's enthusiastic and complicated gaze, "Minister Zhang Xuan, I pay my respects to your mother."

Zhang Xuan appeared suddenly, Yang Yuhuan was not too surprised.Zhang Xuan had already stated in the letter that he would wait at Mrs. Guo's mansion, and asked her to find a way to meet her out of the palace anyway.

Even Yang Yuhuan didn't realize it, and she didn't know how long ago, Zhang Xuan had already occupied a very important position in her heart.After receiving Zhang Xuan's secret letter, she found an excuse to leave the palace in a hurry. One was that she couldn't bear to refuse Zhang Xuan, and the other was also worried about his safety.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Yang Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief, her watery eyes "circled" gently around his body a few times, then reached out and stroked the bun on her forehead, and said softly, "Today, the prince I’ve met Ben Gong. Although Ben Gong agreed to him, he didn’t know what to do in his heart.”

"Zhang Xuan, listen to this palace's persuasion, if you can't do anything, why hang yourself on a tree? Don't worry, this palace will tell your majesty to transfer you out of the right and wrong place of the East Palace."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Mother, Zhang Xuan is by no means a man who is always on the move. Since Zhang Xuan has entered the East Palace, he must spare no effort to help the crown prince out of the predicament... At this critical moment of life and death, I will never betray the crown prince!"

"You are loyal to the crown prince... It's just that I am worried. You insist on standing by Li Heng's side, and your own safety will be difficult to protect. I can also guess that the one who sent someone to assassinate you must be King Rong Li Wan, right? Your Majesty I also know it well. It’s just that Li Wan is gaining momentum now, if you can’t produce evidence, His Majesty can’t make a decision for you.”

Third Sister Yang interjected angrily, "Madam, this matter can't just be left alone... that means he has someone to save him, otherwise... wouldn't it be..."

Having said that, Third Sister Yang's eyes turned red again, and her voice became a little choked up.

Yang Yuhuan was startled, and turned her head to stare at her third sister, an unexpected and complicated red light flashed on her charming and clean face.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being. Your Majesty, I just ask your Majesty for one thing." Zhang Xuan felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he coughed dryly twice, and took the initiative to change the topic.

Yang Yuhuan gave Zhang Xuan a sneaky look in embarrassment, and snorted coldly, "Say, I'm listening."

Yang Yuhuan secretly said in her heart: You are a hateful, daring little enemy, you actually stole the third sister's heart!She stole the third sister's heart, but she came to tease me again...

"Your Majesty, when Prime Minister Yang comes, please ask your Majesty to speak well for the Prince. As long as your Majesty stands by the Prince's side, Xiang Yang will make some considerations."

Yang Yuhuan curled her lips, and said calmly, "You said it lightly. I can express my attitude, but Yang Guozhong is now the prime minister, with his own power and power all over the world. He is no longer the down-and-out Yang Sanlang on the street. Of course he respects you." Ben Gong, but it may not necessarily act according to Ben Gong's face."

"Especially this time, when Li Wan and Li Heng are fighting, Li Heng will definitely lose. How could Yang Guozhong jump into the pit of fire like this?"

"How can your empress be sure that the prince will definitely lose?" Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Until the last moment, it is still difficult to tell the winner."

"Does it need to be said? Who is there to help Li Heng? Only you, a young man with no job and no power, although you have some means and intelligence, but you can't turn the sky with your hands. Could it be that you can still turn the tide?"

"You still have to play tricks with me. When Yang Guozhong arrives later, if you can persuade him, that's your skill. I'll just wait and see." Yang Yuhuan glanced back at the red-faced Third Sister Yang, a little embarrassed Said softly angrily.

Cough!

Zhang Xuan knew where Yang Yuhuan's "evil fire" came from, coughed twice, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

A servant rushed into the hall to report: "Madam, madam, Prime Minister Yang has arrived."

Yang Yuhuan was about to call out, but he heard Yang Guozhong's hoarse baritone voice coming from the corner of the hall, "Mother, I don't want my mother to come out of the palace, Guozhong is far away, it is a sin!"

While speaking, Yang Guozhong had strode into the hall.

Yang Guozhong was about to salute Yang Yuhuan, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Xuan who was standing aside with a calm expression, and was taken aback: "Zhang Xuan? Why are you here?"
