Crown Tang emperor

Hearing Zhang Xungu's terrified shouts, although Zhang Chong didn't know what was going on, he felt a little panicked. He quickly obeyed Zhang Xungu's order, ordered his family members to rush into the crowd, and arrested a few onlookers who were still shouting. .

Not to mention the chaos in Zhang's Fang residence, Fang Rong immediately returned to the province after receiving the order from King Yong. Luantai found Prime Minister Yang Zaisi, and after obtaining a warrant to extract the prisoners, he went straight to the official office of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Ministry of Punishment today is attended by Shangshu Du Jingjian. After seeing the order from Luantai, it is inconvenient to obstruct him. While sending someone to escort Zhang Xiti out, he couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know that His Royal Highness Yong made this decree. What is the reason? After all, Zhang Xianggong is not an ordinary criminal, so I have to respond to Zhengshitang's question."

"The humble job is just following orders, so it's hard to answer Du Shangshu's question."

After Fang Rong heard the words, he just shook his head and didn't say anything. After Zhang Xi, who looked sluggish, was brought up, he immediately went to Luozhou Tuiyuan, which was under the jurisdiction of Xiantai.

Du Jingjian didn't ask Fang Rong for the reason, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He asked someone to inform Li Zhaode, the prime minister who he was currently obeying. After thinking about it, he asked someone to tell Zhang Xi's relatives and friends in the court.

King Yong is now serving as the chief executive of Duji Province, with great power, and his decrees can be said to be second only to the edict of the supervisory system.Even sometimes, when two decrees entered the government, the effectiveness of King Yong's decree was even stronger than that of the political affairs hall.

Zhang Xi is currently in prison, mainly at the behest of Prime Minister Li Zhaode.But even if he is as tough as Li Zhaode, he has to go through trials and balance before he can finally execute Zhang Xi.

But if Zhang Xi still has any major crimes, and now it falls into the hands of King Yong, theoretically speaking, Zhang Xi can be executed directly.After all, King Yong is now in charge of the military affairs of the entire Duji Province, and after killing the queens of the Wu family, no one dares to doubt whether King Yong has such courage.

Du Jingjian asked Zhang Xi's relatives and friends to be notified not to save Zhang Xi, but he and Zhang Xi worshiped together and were dismissed at the same time. In this turbulent situation, it is inevitable that there is a bit of sadness .

The Ministry of Punishment sent someone to report to the Zhengshitang, but Li Zhaode accompanied him to discuss the matter in Shangyang Palace, and the person staying in the Zhengshitang was the Secretary of the Household Department, Di Renjie.

Di Renjie has also paid homage to the prime minister now, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard about it. While sending someone to send a letter to Xiangyang Palace, he also sent someone to Luantai to invite Yang Zaisi.He was also somewhat puzzled by King Yong's actions, and couldn't figure out why King Yong did this suddenly, whether he wanted to save Zhang Xi or kill him.

Di Renjie was still thinking about this in the Zhengshitang, but the first batch of people who got the news had already rushed to the Zhengshitang.This includes Zhang Xi's nephew, Li Qiao, the young supervisor of Lintai, and the new advisor Wang Meichang.

Di Renjie was not surprised that Li Qiao arrived first.But Wang Meichang arrived earlier than Li Qiao, which inevitably made Di Renjie suspicious, and at the same time remembered some rumors he had heard recently.

"Does Di Xianggong know why King Yong asked someone to take Zhang Xianggong away?"

After seeing Di Renjie, Wang Meichang asked, and at the same time said with a worried face: "I came from Luantai, and the order issued by Luantai is to sentence Mr. Zhang to Xiantai with the corresponding case file. This, this is... ..."

Before Di Renjie could answer, Li Qiao's face turned pale.During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the punishment code was severe, among which Xiantai was the most severely violated by cruel officials, and now Prime Minister Li Zhaode is only in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and Sixing Temple, and cruel officials like Lai Junchen still remain in Xiantai.

Therefore, in the recent liquidation of the court, once the case involved is sent to Xiantai, it means that there will be a strict sentence, which will be more dangerous than good.

The reason why the bosses kept those cruel officials in Xiantai was to squeeze out the value of these people, and in order to save their lives, those people tried cases even more brutally than before.

Li Qiao still has a deep relationship with this uncle. Knowing that Zhang Xi went deep into such a dangerous place, and Di Renjie couldn't explain why for a while, he couldn't help but panic, and quickly got up and said: "I'll go to Yongwang's mansion first for a humble job. If there is any news, please send someone to report it in time."

Di Renjie nodded after hearing the words, watched Li Qiao leave, and then looked at Wang Meichang, who was fidgeting, with thoughtful eyes.

Chapter 0488

After Li Shouli returned to Jishanfang, he did not return to his own royal mansion, but went straight to King Yong's mansion across the street.

At this time, Li Tong was still in the front hall, flipping through Zhang Liangyuan's family history initially compiled by Wang Shaozong and others, enjoying himself while watching.

In fact, the genealogy of famous names is not a secret. Like the Nine-rank Official Personnel Law of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the selection department always kept the genealogy books of various names. If you are not familiar with these, you may not even be an official of the selection department.

Since the Kingdom of China, in order to suppress these famous families, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong had extensively edited and edited the surname records. It is not a secret at all that family backgrounds such as Qinghe Zhang's.

Although Wang Shaozong and others don't specialize in genealogy, they have time to read books in their idle jobs like Lintai, and they are not the descendants of the information explosion, so they are no strangers to Qinghe Zhang's genealogy.

The compilation of this first edition directly traces the family background of Li Shouli's biological mother back to the Northern Wei Dynasty.Because of the uprising of the six towns and the change of Erzhurong and Heyin, Zhang Liangyuan, a member of the Zhang clan, was forced to leave the ancestral land of Hebei and migrate to Guanzhong. They were registered as military households in the Sui Dynasty and became generals of Zhechong Prefecture. Since then, they have recuperated in Guanzhong. .

There are not many words in this short biography, but the quotations are full of information.If Li Tong didn't know what was going on, just looking at this biography, I'm afraid that this is the truth. Zhang Liangyuan's family is indeed the children of the Qinghe Zhang family scattered in Guanzhong.

But after reading it, Li Tong was still a little dissatisfied, because this short biography only met his request for Zhang Xungu to be called Zhang Liangyuan's aunt, but did not meet his request for his family to be directly attached to the fixed house.

At present, the Zhang family in Qinghe is the most prominent family, starting with Zhang Yanzhi in the Northern Qi Dynasty.Zhang Xungu was the son of Zhang Qianwei, the eldest son of Zhang Yan, while Zhang Wenguan, the prime minister during Gaozong's period, was the son of Zhang Yan's second son, and Zhang Xi, who was a generation younger than them, was the son of Zhang Wenguan's brother.

According to the biographies compiled by Wang Shaozong and others, Zhang Liangyuan's family was separated from this branch as early as several generations before Zhang Yanzhi.

This was not in line with Li Tong's plan to make people disgusted, so he said again: "Can Zhang Yan and Zhang Yanzhi talk directly?"

When Wang Shaozong and others heard this request, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. Zhang Yanzhi was a character in the Gaoyang period of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was really embarrassing for him to suddenly have such a close brother in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tong also felt that this request was a little unreliable. Seeing the expressions of a few people again, he said with a dry smile: "As long as you can be attached to Dingzhi, you can relax a little bit in terms of seniority. If you have a few bachelors, please make another draft."

It's not good for the aristocratic family to fix the house. The lineage records are too clear, and people can't even make moves.But if Zhang Liangyuan's family is not placed in the fixed room, Zhang will not feel pain.

After all, there are too many clan branches in a big family with a long history, and they don't usually meet each other. Even if they are called grandpa in terms of seniority, they are just out of sight and out of mind.He wanted Zhang Yan's family and Zhang Xungu to meet each other at the beginning and end of the year, and it was acceptable not to call him grandpa or uncle.

Not to mention a few people working at the desk to revise the manuscript, Li Tong turned to another hall to meet Li Shouli when he learned that Li Shouli had returned, and nodded in satisfaction when he heard Li Shouli talk about what happened in front of Zhang Xungu's house.

The knife hanging above your head is the scariest thing. If it doesn't fall down for a moment, you won't know whether it's going to cut off your head or your hair.

Li Shouli came back after uttering a few harsh words. This was not because he was weak, but because he continued to put pressure on the Qinghe Zhang family.Anyway, the initiative is in the hands of their brothers, and the next step is to see how Hezhang reacts.

Not long after Li Shouli came back, someone came to King Yong's mansion to ask for an interview. It was Li Qiao and several other relatives and friends of the Zhang family in the imperial city. They obviously knew that Zhang Xi was taken away first. As for Li Shouli's disturbance in the workshop, there was no news Into the imperial city.

Li Tong didn't intend to meet Li Qiao at first, but after thinking about it, he ordered him to be let in.He and Li Qiao had an old relationship anyway, they had just come to this world in the old year, and they had contacted before they left the cabinet.

Li Qiao is also one of the Hebei people he wants to win over. As the suzerain of the literary world, he is quite popular among scholars.It would be a pity to give up this level of friendship just because of knowing the Hezhang family.

Li Qiao's face was not very good-looking, and he bowed as soon as he entered the hall, and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Li Tong motioned for someone to help Li Qiao up, and then sighed: "Originally, I have an old friendship with the scholar. If there is any situation, I don't need to come and report it in person. But this time, the involvement is not limited to me, but to me." It has disturbed the parents in the court."

While speaking, he gave Li Shouli a look, and Li Shouli said angrily, "Originally each guards the door, lives in peace, and doesn't interfere with each other. But the Zhang family of Qinghe sent people to persuade their relatives to marry each other.

Based on my brother's current achievements, he is not greedy for fame and fame, but my concubine knows that after that, she will not sleep or eat. She just said that if she can achieve this, she is willing to spend the rest of her life in cultivation and help others!Whether I succeed or fail, I will bear the name of being unfilial. If it were you, Xueshi Li, would you spare these people who disturbed the family lightly! "

When Li Qiao heard this, Qu Yin's expression turned bitter, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen.But after thinking about it, he didn't think it was necessary for the second king to deceive himself.

After being silent for a long time, Li Qiao said again: "It is inconvenient for Qiao to say more about the sacrificial ceremonies of various families. But Mr. Zhang..."

"I didn't do this to embarrass Mr. Zhang, but there are indeed scum in his clan, who think they are noble and disturb people's peace. The temporary mention of Mr. Zhang is not for private use. Although this deed is only a branch of the Tian family, But at a time when people's hearts are uncertain, it should not be kept private. Whether there are people with evil intentions, wanting to slander my brother and bully the family, and then disturb the state and county, still needs to be investigated."

When Li Tong said this, his tone became stern again: "The waves suddenly rose on the flat ground, disturbing the house. Now that I am in danger of living in the capital, I can't help but take the big picture into account when things happen, and it's not just for a certain person. Among them, Qu Yin I'm ashamed to say that if I hadn't had a long-standing relationship with Li Xueshi, it would be inconvenient to talk about it. Since Li Xueshi has entered the government, why don't you ask the inside story for me. If you wait until everything is paid to the criminal justice, I and the scholar will avoid suspicion. "

Li Qiao exited Prince Yong's mansion worriedly, just when he reached the gate of the square, he saw a group of Zhang's family members hurrying towards him, so he stood on the side of the gate and waited.

"Ju Shan, you, are you going to Prince Yong's Mansion?"

The leader, Zhang Xungu, naturally knew that Li Qiao had a good friendship with King Yong, and when he saw Li Qiao standing here, he immediately grabbed Li Qiao's wrist and dragged him into the workshop as if grabbing a life-saving straw: " You came at the right time, we are going to visit His Highness, go together, go together!"

But Li Qiao took root, stood still, raised his arms and shook off Zhang Xungu, took a breath and said, "May I ask Zhang Shaoqing, is it true that he and Lu Wang's family belonged together?"

Zhang Xungu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said shyly after a while: "There is something hidden in this, and I will naturally explain it to my family in detail afterwards. What is urgent right now is not to let the two Highnesses..."

"It's too late, my uncle has already been sent to Xiantai by His Highness King Yong's decree."

From what Zhang Xungu said, Li Qiao's face was even colder. His mother and Zhang Xi were brothers and sisters, so his relationship with Zhang Xi, his uncle and nephew, was closer, but with the rest of the Zhang family, it was so-so.

Knowing that Zhang Xi was in trouble, Li Qiao came to beg for help. It was his affection for this uncle.But now it became clear that Zhang Xi was involved by his clansmen, and the involvement in this kind of joint nationality matter that the clan was ashamed to say, if Li Qiao wanted to get involved again, his parents would not let him go.

After all, their Zhaojun Li family's brand is much stronger than Qinghe Zhang's, and the clansmen cherish their feathers more. If they help his uncle and bring up the old stories of their family, Li Qiao will not be able to bear the responsibility.

"This is a family matter of your family, Shaoqing doesn't need to tell me. I have also visited His Royal Highness King Yong just now and obeyed his instructions. Now I have to go back to the province to take care of the matter. Please forgive me for the inconvenience."

Hearing what Li Qiao said, Zhang Xungu's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness Yong talked about this with Ju Shan? What is your highness's attitude?"

Seeing Zhang Xungu's old Songpi face dripping with cold sweat, Li Qiao sighed again in his heart, is he afraid now?Then why are you teasing King Yong again when you have nothing to do?

King Lu has even said that Zhang's harmed him for being unfilial. As for King Yong, let alone those declarations made of tiger's skin as a banner, he has already passed practical actions to prove that he will never let it go.

Although Li Qiao still didn't know why the two Highnesses reacted so violently, he also guessed that there must be something hidden in it.Zhang Xungu also served as the Secretary of the Department, and combined with the two kings' appointments, he already had a lot of speculation, so he didn't want to get involved in it any more, and didn't want to completely destroy his relationship with King Yong because of the small actions of the Zhang family behind the scenes. friendship.

"Your Highness's attitude, Shaoqing can look at it for himself. However, this matter is no longer something that Shaoqing alone can handle. If there is any accumulation of favors, please quote it as soon as possible."

After pointing out the seriousness of the situation to Zhang Xungu, Li Qiao didn't stay any longer, and walked away directly to Tianjin Bridge.

Standing in front of Jishanfang, the members of the Zhang clan looked at each other with sad faces as they watched Li Qiao leave quickly.Some clansmen who already knew the inside story looked at Zhang Xungu with complaints at the moment.

Li Qiao was not the first relative or friend to abandon them. Zhang Xungu had already sent his children to ask for help when the door was blocked in Luwangfang.During this journey, some relatives and friends also came here after hearing the news, but when they heard that their family had provoked King Yong and Queen Lu, they each showed embarrassment and excused themselves to leave.

Zhang Xungu was full of annoyance at the moment, he didn't know how powerful King Yong was now.

Those who left before with excuses, there were many people who conspired with them. When discussing strategies, they all talked loudly and did not pay attention to King Yong, a brave and lucky boy, but now they really pissed people off, but all of them remained silent. , didn't even dare to show his face.

But no matter how others retreated, Zhang Xungu couldn't retreat. He had already come here, so he could only grit his teeth and go to Yongwang's mansion in the square.

Chapter 0489 good luck suddenly, eat to your heart's content

In front of the gate of King Yong's Mansion, there are many halberds and many warriors.

After the members of the Zhang clan came here, affected by the chilling atmosphere, they didn't dare to make loud noises, they slowed down their pace and let the children of the family enter before posting posts, while they waited silently ten feet away from the gate of the house.

There were many guests coming and going in front of Prince Yong's Mansion, so they naturally noticed Mrs. Zhang's business.At the beginning, some guests didn't know about the dispute, so they came forward to say hello with a smile, but as the Zhang family stood here for a longer time, they gradually realized that something was wrong, and after telling each other inside and out, they passed here again Always walk around.

After more than half an hour, the disciples of the Zhang family who entered the mansion to submit posts came out dejectedly, shaking their heads sadly in the eyes of all the family members who were full of expectations: "The slaves of Prince Yong's Mansion tell you that His Highness has no time to meet..."

Hearing this, all members of the Zhang clan showed disappointment, and some even had despair in their eyes.

They traveled all the way, their relatives and friends shunned them, and even passers-by respectfully stayed away. Even if there was any arrogance of a famous family in their hearts, it had already worn away by now.

The only ones who really stick to them are probably the few onlookers who were arrested in front of Zhang Xungu's gate, but those people's legs and feet were tightly tied, and their mouths were also gagged. It was just the hatred in their eyes It almost turned into substance and spewed out.

Standing among the clansmen, Zhang Xungu also vaguely felt that the negative energy emanating from the clansmen was converging on him. After being silent for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I am demented because of my enmity with the two Highnesses. And family members, may not be able to stop me. I will go to the mansion to bow down and see you. You wait to tell your relatives and friends quickly, and then describe the difficulties in detail, hoping that they can help them."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xungu walked towards the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion by himself, with an aura of bleak wind and cold water, but there was no one singing to see him off, and the Zhang clan members who came with him were all bowing their heads and thinking about what to do avoid disaster.

Zhang Xungu traveled to the gate of King Yong's Mansion, but before he could speak, he was surrounded by several relatives holding sticks.Zhang Xungu knelt down on the street with a thump, kowtowed towards the gate of the mansion, and said, "It was my old man's selfish plan to offend His Majesty. I came to the door today to plead guilty. I will beat or kill you. I only ask Your Majesty to show mercy." See you."

In front of the gate of King Yong's Mansion, there are not as many idlers watching the excitement as in Zhang Xungufang.Even though there were many guests coming and going inside and outside the gate of the mansion, when they heard Zhang Xungu's words, they couldn't avoid it, and they didn't wonder how Zhang Xungu offended King Yong.

After a while, Yang Sixuan walked out of the mansion, stood on the doorstep and looked down at Zhang Xungu, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, let me tell Zhang Shaoqing that if it is just a superficial dispute, Shaoqing's crime will not result in death, and there is no need for the mansion to commit crimes." I humiliated myself and begged for forgiveness. But if there is a hidden evil plan, this crime is definitely beyond Zhang Shaoqing's fate, so let's go home and wait for interrogation. As for the things His Royal Highness Lu Wang asked for before, just send them to the mansion. If you wait until His Highness asks for it in person, then you really can only compete with people."

After conveying the words of His Royal Highness King Yong, Yang Sixuan's expression changed again, and he said to the relatives in front of the mansion in a deep voice: "Your Highness is in charge of Duji Road, and the safety of the gods is at stake. If any evil current invades the front of the mansion and endangers Your Highness , Immediately kill on the spot!"

All the relatives took orders suddenly, and when they looked at Zhang Xungu again, there was already a dangerous light in their eyes.Their marriage is not those dandy soldiers in the Nanya before, but the real elite warriors. Only His Royal Highness King Yong follows the lead, so he doesn't care about the origin and official position of the old man in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xungu was a little panicked for a while, after all, he didn't have the determination to die in front of the mansion, so he could only withdraw in despair.

This time I came to visit, not only failed to reach any understanding, but also saw how tough King Yong's attitude was towards this matter.If King Lu's visit to ask for the genealogy is like a farce, but King Yong actually asked Zhang Xi to be thrown into the constitution, which showed his intention to directly attack their entire Zhang family.

It is completely meaningless to talk about regret at this moment, the most important thing right now is how to save yourself.But the crux of the problem is that Zhang Xungu still hasn't figured out what King Yong wants?

That's why I had to be brave enough to come forward to ask for an interview just now. Now, no matter what the intention of King Yong is, if he can satisfy it, then he can satisfy it as much as possible. Dead counterattack.

Zhang Xungu and his family left Jishanfang with a lot of worries, but they saw a group of people standing in the south of Tianjin Bridge pointing to them.In order to survive, she considered herself a palace slave as her mother, and even chased after someone who called her by the wrong name. Up to now, no one dared to call her old name directly to her face.

Xu Junchen and his party members stood at the south of Tianjin Bridge, talking and laughing unscrupulously. When they noticed the scrutinizing eyes of the people of the Zhang clan, the laughter inevitably became louder, and they even made a fierce expression towards Zhang Xungu, which inevitably made Zhang Xungu a little bit more. This heart is even more like falling into an ice cellar.

"The matter of joining the nationality is already unavoidable. When you return home, first call the elders of the clan and prepare the genealogy. I will visit the province to support..."

Zhang Xungu was in such a state of confusion, he ordered his family and led his two followers to Tianjie.

"Zhang Shaoqing, it's only a sudden end of good fortune. The most important thing is to enjoy the food and drink. Don't let outsiders take advantage of the full warehouse of rice and silk!"

When Zhang Xungu stepped onto the Tianjin Bridge, Xu Junchen suddenly yelled strangely at his back, Zhang Xungu was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn his head to look, but just walked quickly with his head down.

After passing Duanmen and entering the imperial city, Zhang Xungu went straight to Luantai, and saw many court officials on the way.But before they got close to each other, those courtiers changed careers one after another, unwilling to meet Zhang Xungu face to face.

At this time, the news that Zhang Xi was detained in Xiantai had already been spread in the imperial city, and it had been rumored that Prime Minister Li Zhaode was dissatisfied with Zhang Xiduo, and now he provoked King Yong. If you avoid it, you avoid it.

Although Zhang Xungu was not in the mood to chat with the courtiers at this time, he felt somewhat sad after being treated like this.

He simply raised his head and walked with his head up. He kept looking at every courtier who was avoiding him. Suddenly, a person broke into his vision and was walking from the long street to the other side of the lane.

After seeing his face clearly, Zhang Xungu couldn't help but feel more grief and indignation, and shouted loudly: "Where are Wang Sheren going?"

The one who was suddenly called by Zhang Xungu was Fenggesheren Wang Jie. Hearing his call, he secretly groaned in his heart, and was about to pretend he didn't hear it and speed up, but Zhang Xungu's cry came from behind him.

Noticing the strange eyes of the people around him, Wang Chen finally stopped, as if he had just heard Zhang Xungu's call, turned around, forced a smile and nodded to Zhang Xungu: "So it's Zhang Shaoqing, who do I know?" People dare to make noise in the imperial city. I was ordered by my lord to go to the province to inquire about matters, so I don't have time to chat, and I will visit the mansion after the business is over."

While talking, Wang Chen also backed away, as if he really had something urgent to do.

However, Zhang Xungu didn't allow him to retreat, Kuo Xing walked in and whispered: "Wang Sheren should know about it, King Yong..."

"Know what? His Royal Highness King Yong has been busy with river defenses recently. Although he knows he will return to his residence, he has no time to visit him."

Wang Che shook his head, looking rather bewildered.

After Zhang Xungu heard the words, he just looked straight at Wang Che, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth, and naturally saw through Wang Che's pretending to be stupid.

Others avoiding him is persecution by nature, but Wang Che participated in their scheme against King Yong's family from the beginning to the end, and even the three kings' books were drawn up by Wang Cheng.Don't you think it's ridiculous to pretend to be stupid now?

"Could it be that what Zhang Shaoqing said was Zhang Xianggong's entry into the constitutional platform? I have heard about this matter, but I don't know much about the inside information because I don't ask about criminal affairs. I will visit you later, and I will explain it to Zhang Shaoqing in detail."

Seeing this, Wang Che laughed dryly, then turned around and pointed at the gate of heaven, and said: "The doctor is currently in the political affairs hall, and seems to be discussing matters with all the relatives. If Shaoqing wants to visit the doctor, you can go directly to the political affairs hall."

In order to get rid of Zhang Xungu, Wang Che sold Wang Meichang when he opened his mouth.Sure enough, after Zhang Xungu heard this, he stopped entangled with Wang Che, glared at him bitterly, and then hurriedly walked to Zetianmen.

Wang Che stood at the same spot and looked at Zhang Xungu's back, heaved a long sigh, bowed his head and thought for a while, then stopped asking questions, went straight out of Duanmen, and went to Jishanfang.

He was lucky at first, but seeing that Zhang Xungu had already lost his bearing, he obviously couldn't stand the pressure of King Yong.Now rush to admit his mistake early, hoping that King Yong can see his younger brother Wang Bo and his father-in-law Pei Xingjian's family's face, and forgive him for his previous offense.

The Zhengshitang is located in Zetianmen, Zhang Xungu is not qualified to come in and out at will, so he can only stop at the south of Zetianmen, and ask the Nanya officers and soldiers guarding the gate to come in and report.

When the commander of the Nanya Army entered the political affairs hall to report, Wang Meichang was still in the hall with Di Renjie, hoping to dig out some secrets from Yang Zaisi's mouth.

Hearing that Zhang Xungu wanted to see him, Wang Meichang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Yang Zaisi said first: "Since Dr. Wang has something to do, please take care of yourself. The hall is busy, and Di Gong and I Not far away."
