The happy life of a prodigal

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wenbai was a little curious, moved to his side, and asked, "Father, what did the letter say?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Maoshi recovered from his emotions, carefully put away the letter in his hand, glanced at Zhang Wenbai, and said lightly: "It's nothing."

Although the content of this letter is shocking and evidence can be found, it is still unknown whether it is true or not.

I still need to confirm it before I dare to show this letter to others.

After all, His Majesty and An Guogong, one is the Son of Heaven, the other is a powerful minister under one man and above ten thousand people, the two of them disappeared at the same time in such a short period of time, the turmoil caused is unimaginable.

Needless to say, Your Majesty... The crown prince has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is not stable.

But the three elders are still there, so they can't cause any big disturbances. Even if some people are dissatisfied or have different intentions, they can't do anything.

The trouble is An Guogong.

Let me first talk about the Zhuxuanzhai, Baolefang, major academies, and major research institutes controlled by An Guogong. These shops or academies already occupy a very important position in today's Great Chu.

This Zhuxuanzhai is called Xiaolibu, Baolefang is called Xiaohubu, and the major academies and research institutes are irreplaceable.

An Guogong was assassinated, and he was assassinated in a heavily guarded place like the imperial palace. It is inevitable that some people would think of something.

What should they do if they become angry?

In addition to these, the most important thing is the Shenji Battalion and the soldiers in the important town controlled by Marquis Linze.

The soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Marquis Linze are the most powerful soldiers in the Great Chu today!

To be precise, they are almost invincible in their respective territories!

In addition, there is also the more powerful Habayashi Guard among the sixteen guards of the pro-army, who is also loyal to An Guogong.

What will they think when they hear the news?

The first suspect must undoubtedly be the royal family!

Because if An Guogong is gone, the royal family must benefit the most!

After doubt, what will they do?

You don't even need to think about it, you can guess it!

It is nothing more than a rebellion!

If they rebel, will the court be able to resist it?

The answer is yes...overwhelmed!

Therefore, this news must not be leaked, no matter it is true or false, it must not be leaked!

Zhang Maoshi thought of this, looked at the servant, and said solemnly: "You have never read this letter today, do you understand?"

The first thousand and 150 chapters three morning court

That servant has been in this mansion for a long time, and some things are naturally clear.

Although he didn't know such a thing, if he said it, what kind of consequences would it cause.

But he knew that if he told such a thing, his life would definitely be lost!

So, he looked puzzled and said: "A letter? Master, what letter? I have never seen any letter before."

Zhang Maoshi glanced at him, and said solemnly: "No matter in front of anyone, it must be like this."

The servant said: "I have never seen any letters..."

On the side, Zhang Wenbai's expression became a little strange when he saw this scene, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After thinking about it, he decided not to be curious anymore, and just said: "Father, when will we enter the palace, I'm afraid there will be a delay again, if what I said happens, it will be a big trouble!"

Zhang Maoshi glanced at his son, thought for a while, and then said: "I won't enter the palace today, let's talk about it in a few days."

"Father, this..."

Zhang Wenbai didn't understand why his father had undergone such a big change. He was anxious to see the elders just now, so he didn't hesitate to get up early for this. Now that he has talked about it for a few days, wouldn't it be a delay?

He looked anxious: "Father, the matter of this exchange is not trivial. If it is really as I said, the entire court will be in turmoil, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Zhang Maoshi glanced at Zhang Wenbai, and said calmly, "I told you, we'll talk about this matter in a few days."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhang Wenbai and went straight back to the house.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wenbai frowned tightly.

He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that there must be a reason for such a big change in his father's attitude before and after, but what is the reason?

There is a high probability that it has something to do with that letter!

Zhang Wenbai thought of this, looked at the servant, and asked, "What was written in that letter?"

The servant looked blank: "A letter? What letter?"

With black lines on Zhang Wenbai's face, he took a step forward, glared at the servant, and said, "Do I have to beat you up a few times before you can remember?"

Seeing this scene, the servant showed fear on his face, stepped back subconsciously, and said in a trembling voice: "Young master, it's not that I won't tell you, it's really... I really can't tell you! If The little one told you, the little one is bound to die!

Young master, the young one has been working as a cow and a horse in this mansion for many years. When you were a child, the young one was a servant of the mansion. The young one has no credit but hard work. You, you will spare the young one. Let's die! "

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Zhang Wenbai frowned, and only said one word: "Get lost!"

When the servant heard this, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly saluted: "Yes, yes, the little one, get lost."

When the voice fell, it seemed that Zhang Wenbai was afraid that Zhang Wenbai would still ask about the content of his letter. He didn't dare to stay for a moment and ran away.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wenbai's face was very ugly.

It can make that servant afraid to such an extent, even if it is so, he is unwilling to reveal a little bit of content.

What the letter said must be a big deal!

It's even a big event that is more important than the things in the exchange!

The things in the exchange are already enough to cause turmoil in the court. What could be bigger than this?

Zhang Wenbai thought about it, and thought of a certain possibility, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he was speechless for a while.

At this time, another servant suddenly ran over and said, "Master! There are people coming from the palace!"

The voice fell, and the door was pushed open.

Zhang Maoshi looked at the servant and said, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

The servant ran away again.

In just a moment, an eunuch came to the courtyard.

Without unnecessary nonsense, he directly said straight to the point: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Zhang Maoshi say: "Eunuch, wait a minute, there are still outsiders here."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Wenbai who was on the side.

Zhang Wenbai was taken aback, a little annoyed...I'm your son!If I'm an outsider, there are still...

Stopped abruptly.

Because he thought of a possibility... His father was protecting himself!

He knew that what the eunuch was going to say was very important, it was so important that others could not listen to it, otherwise they would be in trouble.

That's how it was done.

But the eunuch said: "It's not a big deal, it doesn't matter whoever listens..."

After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty's will, I have been unwell for the past few days, and let the prince supervise the country... This morning, the princes will meet, and the prince will preside over... Our family is here, just In order to tell Master Zhang, don’t forget today’s morning court.”

Due to His Majesty's physical problems, the morning court has been suspended for several days.

The sudden return to normal, naturally many people don't know, these eunuchs have to find and notify one by one.

So very busy.

After the eunuch finished speaking, he didn't even have time to rest, so he said: "Master Zhang, there are still a few adults who don't know the news, our family has to go and make an announcement, stop chatting, and leave."

After finishing speaking, he just turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Zhang Wenbai stood where he was, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Your Majesty is not feeling well, and the prince is in charge of the country... Is everything really as I imagined?

Zhang Maoshi looked very indifferent, as if he had expected all this, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Changing clothes, I'm going to enter the palace!"

............

The imperial palace, the open space in front of Fengtian Hall, had been deserted for a few days, and finally it was bustling again.

It is said to be lively, but in fact it is just more footsteps and very subtle conversations.

Except for a very few people talking in low voices, most of the people had serious expressions and walked towards Fengtian Hall step by step.

This time, the morning court is extremely important, and almost all the civil and military officials in Kyoto Prefecture who are eligible to participate are present.

The princes of Gungun walked in the front, all of them had solemn faces and did not say a word.

Zhang Maoshi was among them.

Although he is the left servant of the household department, one level lower than the Shangshu, but because the Lord Shangshu is the elder of the pavilion, he has no time to take care of many things in the household department, but his actual status is equivalent to that of the Shangshu, and he can be regarded as this kind of prince. one of the.

Standing in front of him are the three elders of the pavilion, the heavenly officials of various ministries, the Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of Honglu Temple, etc...

On the other side are the two princes, then the marquises, then the generals, and then the earl...

Everything is the same as usual, except for two differences.

The camp of civil servants and the camp of military officers are missing one person each.

For civil servants, the original position of Zuodu Yushi was taken by Youdu Yushi.

And the military officer here.

The position of An Guogong...is empty!

The first thousand and 150 chapters are irrelevant, don't say them in the future

Although everyone did not speak, even their expressions did not change much.

However, the erratic eyes from time to time still betrayed them.

Although An Guogong was a bit cynical, he never missed some important occasions, especially since His Royal Highness is an apprentice of An Guogong.

How important it is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to oversee the country!

How could An Guogong not participate?

unless......

Everything in that letter is true!

An Guogong was really assassinated in the Tai Hospital yesterday!

This......

Everyone lowered their heads, with different expressions on their faces.

The faces of the officials were all joyful, especially the Youdu Yushi and the six subjects, the corners of their mouths were all grinning.

The civil servants are different, and some of them are as happy as the speech officials.

More people are silent, their faces are dignified.

There are also some people with sad expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they agreed with An Guogong, but they couldn't say it because they were coerced.

And the three pavilion elders stood at the forefront, the expressions on their faces were the same as before, without any change.

Time passed minute by minute.

Most of the civil and military officials have already stood where they should stand.

At this time, an eunuch came out and said loudly in a shrill voice: "Go to court!"
