Chapter 097
Zhang Xuan rose as a teenager, and his talent spread far and wide in Chang'an.Since the second half of the year, it has streaked across the sky and sky of the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty like a comet.But this proud young man died tragically and unexpectedly not long after he became an official.After the emperor officially announced the death of Zhang Xuan on behalf of the emperor, there were many voices of regret in the court and the opposition.

The Zhang family was ordered by the emperor to organize Zhang Xuan's funeral, and set up a coffin to set up a coffin. The servants and maids of the Zhang family wore sackcloth and filial piety, mourning endlessly, and began to accept condolences from the outside world.The emperor sent Gao Lishi to take the lead in expressing his condolences and gave him a funeral vessel.

Mrs. Guo's house.

Zhang Xuan was resting in the study with his eyes closed, sorting out his complicated thoughts, and there was a volume of ancient books on the desk.And in the corner of the sandalwood desk, a jug of sandalwood rose slowly.

Suddenly, Pei Hui stumbled in and rushed in, followed by Mrs. Guo Guo.

The mother and son had very strange expressions on their faces. They opened their mouths looking at Zhang Xuan, but the words came out silently.Zhang Xuan was startled, then smiled and said, "Third Sister, Pei Hui, what's the matter? Why?"

Third Sister Yang sighed softly, her eyes flickering complicatedly.

Pei Hui smiled wryly and said softly, "Sir, the Jingzhao Mansion said that they found Mr....the trace of being burned, and at the same time found the sir's imperial gold medal. Based on this, the Jingzhao Mansion concluded that Mr. has been killed, and His Majesty I just issued an order to give Zhang Jiahou a funeral vessel, and ordered General Gao to go to the Zhang residence to express condolences."

In the eyes of Sanjie Yang's mother and son, this may be the trick of Zhang Xuan, who is acting more and more mysterious and unpredictable, deliberately creating the illusion of his own death, so as to make trouble secretly.

But this was not what Zhang Xuan wanted, and it was beyond his expectations.

"What?" Zhang Xuan's face changed suddenly, and he immediately got up and subconsciously reached towards his waist. There was nothingness in the tentacles, and then he suddenly realized that he was dodging the assassin's attack at the scene that day, and the clothes he was wearing were already dirty. It was dirty and tattered, and the imperial gold medal hanging on the waist was probably lost at that time.

It's a pity that I have been planning and operating for several days, but I forgot this——

He stood there pondering for a long time, after thinking about it, he guessed a bit.This must be the emperor's pursuit. In desperation, the Jingzhao government office below secretly set up such a fake situation in an attempt to end the case. As for Zhang Xuan's gold medal, which was lost at the scene, it is likely that Jingzhao The government servants picked it up and left.

Later facts proved that Zhang Xuan's guess was not very different.The gold medal that Zhang Xuan accidentally lost at the scene was picked up by a yamen leader of the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen. He was greedy for money, so he secretly hid it.Unexpectedly, under the emperor's anger, Dong Zhihe, the governor of Jingzhao, was dismissed from office, and Shi Qing, the new governor, took a strict attitude and used thunderous means to advance the investigation of the case.This person was panicked, afraid of being exposed, so he took advantage of his status and power to secretly arrange such a fake scene, and deliberately discarded Zhang Xuan's imperial gold medal.

Having figured this out, Zhang Xuan sat down slowly again.

Mrs. Guoguo frowned and said softly, "Zizhan, if it wasn't for your secret agency, I think you should stand up immediately, otherwise, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. In addition, it will also save your family from sorrow."

Zhang Xuan shook his head silently, "No. If someone goes out at this moment, everything he has done before will come to naught. Although it will not affect the overall situation, it may reveal some clues and cause the suspicion of King Rong Li Wan and even His Majesty. The overall situation is Seriously, I need to be silent for a few more days."

"But……"

Zhang Xuan sighed, and laughed self-mockingly, "The crime of deceiving the emperor is absolutely impossible. A certain family was rescued by a knight, injured and unconscious, and has been recuperating in a certain place, without knowing the outside situation... In the future, I will deal with Your Majesty like this!"

"It's just my affairs in the mansion. It's related to the overall situation. I also hope that the third sister will tell the people in the mansion not to go out in the next few days, strictly keep the word, and don't leak the news."

"You can rest assured about this. I will go to the slave family to reiterate the strict order. Anyone who leaks the news will be severely punished and killed." Yang Sanjie's brows floated a look of coldness, and Zhang Xuan's safety was at stake, so of course she would not be soft-hearted.

Immediately, she looked at Zhang Xuan with a wry smile and said, "The mother and son of the Nu family have a good relationship with you, and you are Hui'er's husband. This is something that everyone in Chang'an knows... Do you want the Nu family to go to the Zhang family with Hui'er?" One trip means one or two, otherwise..."

"It's absolutely impossible, Third Sister." Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "You don't have to, just keep silent."

"Also, at the Zhang residence, do you want the slave family to send someone to secretly report a letter, so that your family will not be saddened."

"Forget it, the Zhang family is talking too much, and they are afraid of causing trouble. Let's do this first—" Zhang Xuan sighed, "It will harm the Zhang family if you pass on the news. Personally, I have too many reasons to hide. , but if my family and I cheat together, once it is revealed, it will really be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

……

……

Jade Zhenguan.

Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying sighed and reached out to hold the cold little hand of Cui Ying who was sitting beside her with a pale face, the corners of her mouth were still twitching, and two lines of tears were streaming down her face. She wanted to comfort her but she didn't know how to say it. When she got up, she only said "Ying Er" in a soft voice, and then she was speechless.

At first Princess Yuzhen didn't believe Zhang Xuan's unexpected encounter, but now the facts are clear, the Zhang family's funeral has already been held, and the emperor's edict has also been issued, how can there be any chances?
Cui Ying's mind went blank, and her heart was full of despair.Although there are not many opportunities for her to get along with Zhang Xuan, but with a glance, poetry and prose reciprocation, she already has a strong sense of belonging, and she is full of endless beautiful longings for the future.A high-minded and talented woman like Cui Ying has her eyes high above her head, and she can easily look down on men in the world, but once she falls in love with her, she will devote herself wholeheartedly, and will never change until she dies.

And this sudden and unfortunate news destroyed Cui Ying's bottom line of defense.Zhang Xuan is gone... Her world is hopeless and gloomy, without any trace of life.

Cui Huan, who came to report the letter, sat below, looked at his sister worriedly, and hesitated to speak.

"Ying'er, cry if you want to cry, mother knows you are not feeling well." Princess Yuzhen persuaded softly, hugging Cui Ying in her arms, she could clearly feel Cui Ying's slender body shivering.

"Cui Huan, what did your father say?" Yuzhen cast a glance at Cui Huan.

Cui Huangong stood up and replied, "His Royal Highness, my father is going to the Zhang family with Cui Huan to express condolences. After all, the Zhang and Cui families are families of in-laws..."

Hearing Cui Huan's words, Cui Ying suddenly struggled to break free from Princess Yuzhen's arms, her voice was trembling and deep but firm, "Please tell my father and mother that there is no need to express condolences. I and Zizhan are in the same heart, although there is no vow of eternal love, But for the rest of her life, Yinger will be Zhang Xuan's wife in life and Zhang Xuan's wife in death... There is no two minds!"

"Brother, please apologize to parents and adults for Yinger. Yinger is not filial. She can no longer serve her parents at her knees in this life—" Cui Ying fell on the ground, made a big gift to Cui Huan, and then slowly got up and knelt before Princess Yuzhen. In front of her, tears flickered and she choked up, "Mother, Yinger is not filial, and she can't enjoy herself in front of her mother day and night——Yinger decided to marry herself into the Zhang family, to guard the spirit for her son, and ask her mother to help her!"

Cui Huan's face changed drastically, and Princess Yuzhen was also shocked.

The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of the later Song and Ming Dynasties. The folk customs were open and the etiquette was shallow. It is not surprising that married men and women divorced, let alone unmarried couples like Cui Ying and Zhang Xuan... In the eyes of Cui Huan or Princess Yuzhen Well, Cui Ying was sad for a while, and then her heart faded away, and then she looked for another marriage.

Married to the Zhang family, guarding the spirit of a dead man.This kind of thing is actually quite shocking in this era.

"Ying'er, absolutely not!" Cui Huan exclaimed.

"Ying'er, why do you bother? Mother knows that you are sad and miss you too much, but you are still young, and in the future..." Yu Zhen persuaded.

"Mother, needless to say, Yinger has made up her mind. I hope mother will make it happen!"

Cui Ying knelt down and couldn't get up.When the bad news came, her life was cut off, and she had already had the will to die.Now she decides to marry Zhang Xuan to guard Zhang Xuan's spirit for one year, and then follow Zhang Xuan under Jiuquan.But she understands that such an action of hers will inevitably lead to strong backlash and obstruction from the family, and without the support of Princess Yuzhen, it will not work.

Princess Yuzhen sighed sadly, leaned over to help Cui Ying, and read a trace of despair and firmness from Cui Ying's teary eyes, she hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Forget it, Yinger, you just need to Promise mother to take care of your health, and mother will make the decision for you."

After receiving Princess Yuzhen's promise, Cui Ying's mind relaxed, and she couldn't bear the endless sorrow surging in her heart anymore. There was a darkness in front of her eyes, and she fell to the ground and passed out.

……

……

"Your Highness, this... this is absolutely unacceptable!" Cui Huan bowed awkwardly to Princess Yuzhen.

"Cui Huan, stop talking, I understand what you mean. Go back and tell Cui Ju that Yinger has a noble heart, and she has a deep affection with Zhang Xuan. If you can't agree to her, she will commit suicide when she is too sad." Instead of this, it is better to follow her heart first, and then slowly persuade her."

"She is Bengong's daughter. In the Zhang family, who dares to neglect her?" Princess Yuzhen waved her hand wearily, "Of course, Bengong will visit Yinger from time to time. Go home and make some preparations. This will send Ying Er to marry into the Zhang family!"

"Your Highness, this..." Cui Huan rubbed his hands.

"Ying'er's desire to live is cut off. If she is forced to stay, she will be short-sighted. If she is not allowed to go to the Zhang family... If the sadness in her heart cannot be vented, she will be buried. You don't need to say more, hurry up." Go back quickly and talk to Cui Ju, just say that this time the palace will be the master."

"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing that Yuzhen had made up his mind, Cui Huan didn't dare to say anything, and left lonely.

Princess Yuzhen made a decision, and because she was worried that Cui Ying would commit suicide, Cui Ju, his wife, and his son had no choice but to agree to Cui Ying's shocking decision.Fortunately, the concept of chastity is not important in this era. From the perspective of the Cui family and his son, as long as the daughter can get out of the shadow of Zhang Xuan’s death, it’s okay to stay in the Zhang family for two years, and then slowly persuade her to find another marriage. The Zhang family will definitely not stop her, so Cui Ying will be outnumbered.

Of course, blocking is useless.The remarriage of ordinary widows is protected by the court's laws, let alone Cui Ying's situation, with Princess Yuzhen and the Cui family behind her.
