Straight man of steel

Chapter 78
Worried about oversleeping, Zhang Yuan ordered the servants in the palace to wake him up at midnight. After washing up quickly, he put on his armor and held a halberd and waited outside the gate of Weiyang Palace.

The sky hadn't completely brightened at this time, and Zhang Yuan was the only one waiting outside the palace gate.

Then came one after another, many officials wearing armor like Zhang Yuan, gathered in groups of three or five, and when it was dawn at the time of day, the palace guards opened the gate and let Zhang Yuan and the others enter in advance.

Zhang Yuan didn't know anything, so he followed the crowd to Lang Zhongling's mansion and waited in a side hall.

After a while, a Chinese doctor came in and hung the nameplates of the officials on the wall engraved with the name of the Temple of Time.

"Oh, Brother Li, it seems we can relax for a while today."

"Yes, in Cangchi Suwei, there is no one or any noble people going there, so it is naturally much easier."

As soon as the name tag was hung, the side hall became lively.

If you are in the front hall, the main hall, the Xuan room, and the pepper room, the guards outside the palace, you have to cheer up all day, because you don’t know when the emperor or some palace officials or ministers will arrive. There went.

For the palaces of Cangchi, Jiantai, and Qingliang, Lang Guan would be much more relaxed, because no one would go there except the guards who inspected the palace. There are those palaces.

While listening to other people's comments, Zhang Yuan searched for his nameplate on the wall. There are hundreds of wooden plaques hanging on the wall. It is really not easy to find without looking carefully.

"Wei Qing, Zhang Yuan, who is Zhang Yuan? Do you know Wei Qing?"

Suddenly a question from the crowd reached Zhang Yuan’s ears. Hearing his name mentioned, he naturally turned around and looked over there. Sure enough, there was still his nameplate on the wall. The most important thing was that he was next to him. The person who stayed in the guard together was Wei Qing.

"Fuck."

Regardless of the look in the eyes of the people next to him, he just burst out with a bang.

"Hey, is this person new here? It seems like I've never seen him before."

"This person is Zhang Yuan. I saw him once when he came to report yesterday, but I don't know where he came from."

"You don't know him? There was a commotion in Chang'an City before, saying that he had a grudge against that Sima Xiangru."

"You mean he is Zhang Yuan from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?"

"Yes, it's him."

A bunch of people started talking about Zhang Yuan's story on twitter, gossip is a hobby, no matter what age people are keen on.

Originally, no one talked to Zhang Yuan at all, but when it was mentioned that Zhang Yuan was under Tian Fu's sect, someone walked towards Zhang Yuan.

"You are Brother Zhang Yuan, right? You are indeed a good-looking talent. I have read Brother Zhang's masterpieces before, and I am quite touched."

Zhang Yuan only cares about where Wei Qing is now. This sudden enthusiasm makes him really at a loss.

"Um, dear brother, you are absurd. I don't know if you know Wei Qing. I should be on duty with him. I want to meet him in advance."

The reason why Zhang Yuan felt that the meeting with Liu Che yesterday was not a good start was because he entered the palace with Tian Fu. If he followed Wei Qing into the palace to meet Liu Che, what a good start it would be.

"Brother Zhang, next to me is Wei Qing."

"Fuck."

A damn sentence came out again.

"Brother Zhang, I heard you yelling a shit before. What does this shit mean? Is it a common saying in your hometown?"

Seeing Wei Qing asking seriously, Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

"It's a saying in my hometown, which means to show one's surprise."

Although the young man in front of him has a slightly childish face, he is very tall in build.

"So that's what it means. I understand. When I first saw Brother Zhang, I was also very frightened."

Thinking about the meaning of what I should have said about the shit, it was so embarrassing to spit it out from Wei Qing's mouth.

"Eh haha, I'm on duty for the first time today, I'm afraid there will be some mistakes then, please ask Wei Lang to give me some pointers."

Wei Qing also intended to make friends with Zhang Yuan, probably because of Tian Fu or because Zhang Yuan happened to be on duty with him today.

"Brother Zhang will no longer need to be called an official title. You and I are officials in the same palace. You should be a few years older than me. In the future, you will call me Young Brother, and I will call you Yuan Brother."

Why don't you ask, don't say you call me brother, even if I call you brother instead.

"Since Mr. Wei doesn't mind coming from a rural background, I will call you Qingdi."

Wei Qing bowed to Zhang Yuan very solemnly.

"Brother Yuan."

Sometimes it is like this, when there is no way out, there is no way out, and there is another village.

If the relationship with Wei Qing is good, even if Tian Fu offends Liu Che and ends up in a bad end, with Wei Qing's help, it is very likely that he can avoid these disasters.

Afterwards, many people came to chat with Zhang Yuan. It seems that the name of Marquis Wu'an is quite useful in the palace.

Although the fate of many of his relatives was not very good, the man never meant to attack his relatives.

Just after the Lu family was in trouble for the great man, there were not a few people in the Wen and Jing dynasties who were foreign relatives who made marquises and worshiped ministers. Immediately after Liu Che came to the throne, two generations of foreign relatives of Dou Ying and Tian Fen were made important officials, although the Queen Mother Dou dismissed the two People, but everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. Tian Fu's influence on the court is greater than that of the current prime minister Xu Chang.

To recommend a large number of people to the court without an official status is a power that Dou Ying does not have.

And the Lang officials in the side hall here are all related people, and they all want to be able to rise to the top in the future. Now the biggest thigh inside and outside the court is Tian Fu. If they can get acquainted with Tian Fu through Zhang Yuan, it will be a blessing for them. great thing.

Unable to bear to talk about things with these people, Zhang Yuan pulled Wei Qing out of the side hall.

"Brother Qing, as a brother, now you treat me like a brother, why do you want to get close to me?"

Zhang Yuan was really worried that Wei Qing approached him because of Tian Fu, and Wei Qing's majestic image in his heart would collapse instantly.

"Brother Yuan, you should know my sister, Mrs. Wei."

Could it be that getting acquainted with himself has something to do with Wei Zifu, Zhang Yuan was confused.

"know."

Wei Qing looked around very cautiously, and found that there was no one nearby, so he whispered to Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, since you said that you treat me like a brother, I don't care if what you said is true or not. I do have other intentions involved in making friends with you today."

"Fuck."

This is also a bit too straightforward.

"Brother Yuan, you think it's ridiculous, but I understand very well."
