The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor
Chapter 35 My skills are poor?
Shen Jia was petrified, and tightly held the stick in her hand to protect her chest, as if this could give her a sense of security.
He stepped back step by step, and his body stuck to the gate. If it was a ghost that ran out, he should still have time to get out.
The gap in the wall was getting bigger and bigger, and a little light came out from inside. Looking carefully, a tall figure stood in the darkness, and the light was emanating from him.
Shen Jia asked nervously: "Who is it?" By this time, he also understood that there was a secret passage in his room, and he didn't know when it was built, let alone who would come out from here.
While talking, the man came out, his whole body was exposed to the light, and Shen Jia finally saw his face clearly. Immediately, fear turned into grief and indignation, she threw away the stick in her hand and ran to jump on the opponent's body, strangling the opponent's body Neck questioned: "You are crazy! How can you be so scary? Also, why is there a secret passage here? When did you dig it?"
He asked a series of questions. Zhao Zhang didn't know that there was someone in the room, and he knocked on the wall several times but no one responded. He thought that Shen Jia was not in the room, otherwise he would not have kept silent.
"Sorry, I scared you." Zhao Zhang apologized, grabbed Shen Jia's butt with both hands, carried him to the bedside and put him down, and stroked his back soothingly. It took Shen Jia a long time to calm down.
"I'm fine." Shen Jia said calmly, pushed Zhao Zhang's arms away, and glared at him: "Quickly, you haven't answered my question yet, why is there a secret passage here? Did you plan it in advance?"
This house was rewarded by Zhao Zhang, did he do it on purpose?But how did he know that he would definitely get this reward?
Zhao Zhang laughed softly, "There are tunnels in the palace, and one of them leads to Yujingfang. Coincidentally, the head of the household also dug a secret room and a tunnel at home for escape. The two sides were originally not connected. I had someone repair it again, so there is a secret road from the palace to your house, so you don't have to worry about not seeing me, isn't it great?"
Shen Jia really didn't expect it to be like this, he asked with lingering fear: "Then have you ever sneaked here before? Do I just sleep in the exit of the secret passage every day like this?"
"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows this secret way. You're very safe. I thought about it when I rewarded this house. If you get it, then if I want your life, I can hide it from you. If someone else gets it, I will seal the secret passage!"
"I think you're crazy too. Why did you kill me without anyone noticing?" Although Shen Jia was afraid that Zhao Zhang would hate him and want to kill him, she also knew that he couldn't do such a thing. Hearing what Zhao Zhang said, I thought anxiously: Am I too confident?
Zhao Zhang patted him on the back and said with a smile, "Don't you know how hateful you are sometimes? Sometimes I wish I could bite you to death!"
Shen Jia hurriedly moved aside, folded her arms and looked at him vigilantly: "I warn you, don't think you are the emperor, I will catch you without a fight."
Zhao Zhang showed an evil smile, rushed towards him, pressed him on the bed, held his hands and imprisoned him above his head, and said in a low voice, "Can you resist?"
The difference in stature between the two is not small. Zhao Zhang has been riding and shooting since elementary school, and his martial arts are good. In terms of physical strength, the two Shen Jia are not his opponents.
Shen Jia couldn't move, he was fascinated by the rushing male hormones, this is the man he loves, so close to him, how could he resist this kind of temptation?
He raised his head and kissed Zhao Zhang, blushing and said, "What is the emperor trying to do in my bedroom?"
Zhao Zhang's eyes gradually became dangerous, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Of course they are here to steal incense and jade." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and sealed Shen Jia's mouth.
The time and place were favorable, and both of them had been in drought for many years. This fire ignited the bodies of the two of them at once. Ever since they said it, Shen Jia knew that this day would come, and she was also looking forward to it.
The two were getting better and better, and there were fewer and fewer clothes on their bodies. Zhao Zhang tore off the quilt to cover the two, and threw the last piece of clothes out of the bed.
Recalling what Shen Jia once said, Zhao Zhang maintained a semblance of clarity, and asked viciously, "I'll ask you one last time, have you thought it through clearly, are we in love with each other?"
"Yes."
"Then you have no chance to regret it this time, or I will tear you apart..."
Shen Jia blocked his mouth, took the initiative to set fire to Zhao Zhang with both hands, and said with a smile: "Understood, as long as your original intention remains the same, I will definitely not regret it."
Zhao Zhang was still nervous, this was the second time they were so close, and the first time they left a deep memory, it was okay, but Shen Jia's words would always pop up inadvertently, which made him dare not If there is too much movement, I am afraid that the other party will say "your skills are poor" again.
This feeling of slowly advancing was even more torture for Shen Jia. Shen Jia grabbed his back with both hands, with tears in his eyes, and urged: "Hurry up!"
Zhao Zhang couldn't bear it at first, but he didn't have to bear it now, as a violent storm invaded Shen Jia.
After a long time, when the clouds and rain had just stopped, the first sentence Zhao Zhang asked was: "Is my technique poor?"
Shen Jia buried herself in his arms and smiled secretly, "Just...it's okay, there's progress."
Zhao Zhang squeezed the flesh on his body, wishing he could take a bite, this man is really disgusting!
Shen Jia told him about today's banquet, and about County Lord Liu's visit, and ignored Cao Shizi alone, lest Zhao Zhang think too much.
"That's such a beauty. Now that I believe you, you really can't be hard on women. Otherwise, if you can't be tempted by such a beauty every day, I'm afraid it will be Liu Xiahui."
Zhao Zhang slapped him dissatisfied, "You can be proud, I just accidentally followed your way. As for any beauty, I have never seen it a few times."
Zhao Zhang has seen countless beauties since he was a child. Liu Meiren is beautiful, but not enough to surprise him at first glance. Besides, a beauty is just a face to him, not very attractive.
"What did she come to see you for?"
"Probably just to see people. I was quite nervous before meeting people. County Lord Liu is a sensible person."
"She has stood on the clouds, and she has also fallen to the bottom of the valley. Her life has been full of ups and downs. The benefits I have given her are enough to make her repay me with broken bones. If this is not clear, I will not choose her."
Zhao Zhang knew that Shen Jia was naturally more sympathetic to women, that kind of sympathy was different from men's desire to protect nowadays, Shen Jia had more respect for women in his bones, otherwise he could have married a small family in Baoning Mansion back then so he could control him Women, you can play as you like in private.
But he would rather make excuses to delay his marriage than to hurt an innocent woman. This is what made Zhao Zhang understand that if he really had a harem and touched those women, then his and Shen Jia's lives would be over. .
"That's good. Although it's a bit self-deceiving, this is indeed the best arrangement. What about the children's problems in the future?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. If it doesn't work, just adopt from your brother. I can do it, and you can do it too."
"Do you really think the courtiers can agree with you to make your nephew the crown prince?"
"Why do they object? Ting'er is also of the orthodox royal blood, the former grandson of the emperor, I can't have children, only he is the most suitable."
Shen Jia was touched at this moment, Zhao Zhang made such a concession for them to be together, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
"Let's not talk about that, the spring night is short, let's do something meaningful!"
Shen Jia felt that his waist was about to break. After the second time, he insisted on getting up, saying that he wanted to look at the wall, and then suddenly remembered the key that Zhao Zhang gave him, took it out and asked, "Where is this key?" Where's the key?"
Zhao Zhang put on a coat, took the key from him, walked to the closed wall, and opened the wooden board on the shelf from the third shelf on the left, revealing a hole, inserted the key and turned it, The wall made a turning sound, and a passage was soon revealed.
Shen Jia was a little scared looking at the dark passage, and asked him, "Did you walk here alone just now?"
"Of course, the less people know about this passage, the better." Zhao Zhang was still reluctant to leave, so he turned off the switch and pulled Shen Jia back to the bed, hugged him and said, "I'll take you through it again next time. It's not far away. Just walk for a while." The bell will arrive, and the exit is in my side hall."
"The emperor has been out for a long time. Is it time to go back to the palace? Wouldn't it be nice to be found out that you are not in the palace?"
"It's okay, with Du Fucheng guarding me, I'm very angry today, and I won't see anyone even if I tell you."
Shen Jia also went to court in the past few days, and knew that every day the court was arguing about the Pu family's affairs. Although a large group of officials were eager to get rid of the relationship with the Pu family, the Pu family had many vassals and in-laws. I also think that the Pu family is unlucky, and more importantly, if the Pu family falls, they will also be at risk of being implicated, so the two sides are in trouble.
"How is the investigation of the Pu family going?"
"Many old cases cannot be investigated in a day or two. Fortunately, there is no need to investigate all the cases. I am still waiting for an opportunity."
"What time?"
"The opportunity to wipe out the Pu family." Zhao Zhang didn't say much, he didn't want Shen Jia to participate too much, the centipede was dead but not stiff, and the Pu family hadn't been encircled yet, Shen Jia knew too much was too dangerous.
Shen Jia frowned and said: "If the Pu family fights before they die, it will cause a lot of casualties. Will the emperor use absolute force to suppress it? There should be members of the Pu family in any army in Beijing, is there any?" Maybe the enemy should cooperate with the outside?"
Zhao Zhang's expression became serious, and he knew this, but the Pu family was so powerful that he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to clean it up, so he could only deal with it carefully.
"Let's not talk about that, you don't go out except Yingmao this month, the street is very chaotic."
"Okay, I will pay attention to safety." Speaking of this, Shen Jia remembered the matter of buying guards, so she asked Zhao Zhang for advice. The superiors must have more experience in such matters.
Zhao Zhang said happily, "Why bother, I'll just send a few people to help you."
"No, I'm a fifth-rank official and protected by the emperor's people. I don't know what others will say when they see it."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'll appoint people I don't know. I don't worry about the people I bought from outside." Zhao Zhang held Shen Jia's hand. When people have concerns, they always worry about this and that, Zhao Zhang I don't want Shen Jia to encounter an accident.
Shen Jia didn't refuse. Being the emperor's lover was not a safe job, and he couldn't hold Zhao Zhang back.
As the night deepened, there was a knock on the door, and He Yan stood outside and asked, "Master, you haven't eaten dinner yet, do you want some supper?"
Shen Jia was really hungry right now, and was in urgent need of replenishing energy due to excessive physical exertion. He touched Zhao Zhang's belly and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhao Zhang held his hand and said with dull eyes, "I want to eat you more."
Shen Jia couldn't bear the torment anymore, turned over and sat up, and shouted outside: "Ayan, put some food at the door, I'll get it later."
He Yan asked suspiciously: "Are you still asleep? Can't I go in?"
"Hey, I just took a shower and didn't put on any clothes. Wait a minute."
He Yan muttered: "They're all men, what's wrong with not wearing clothes?" But he did as he did, put the food box at the door, and said: "It's cold, young master, wear more, don't freeze. "
"understood."
"The chicken noodle soup made in the kitchen, and some snacks, you can eat whatever you want, don't get too full."
"Okay, Ayan, go back to sleep."
Zhao Zhang was a bit apprehensive when he heard the words of the master and servant. Shen Jia was too kind to He Yan, and He Yan was not bad at all. People are jealous.
"How old is He Yan?" Zhao Zhang asked casually.
"Fifteen, sixteen after the new year." Shen Jia replied.
"Oh, it's time to get married."
Shen Jia nodded, "Indeed, but I don't have anyone to choose, I don't even have a maid at home."
"Shall I help him find one?" Zhao Zhang asked enthusiastically, any maid in his palace would be enough to match him.
Shen Jia shook her head: "How can you casually refer to marriage in a serious marriage? He Yan has to like it."
"As long as you have a lot of work, which slave can choose his own candidate? Besides, I must choose someone who is both talented and beautiful. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"It's not that I married a wife. What am I dissatisfied with? The point is that He Yan is satisfied." On this point, the two obviously couldn't reach a consensus. Ask him what he likes, even Tianxianzhen will find it for him."
Shen Jia pinched his nose and asked, "Why do I feel that your words are so sour? Why did Ah Yan offend you?"
"I can't bear to see unmarried single men around you, so you have to marry him as soon as possible!"
"So that's the case. I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, Ayan is a straight man. We won't have any sparks."
"Then can I spark with you? I want to try..."
Shen Jia hurriedly stopped him: "No, I have to go to court tomorrow, I... um..."
"I allow you to take a day off!"
Zhao Zhang only left at Zishi, and Shen Jialei couldn't open his eyes when he left. He took the other's hand in a daze and said, "Don't leave me." Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Zhang covered him with the quilt, his eyes were infinitely gentle, he lowered his head to Shen Jia's ear and whispered: "I have to go back, but I will always be here, you don't have to worry."
Until this moment, Zhao Zhang felt reunited, and Shen Jia's unconscious dependence and reluctance made him feel distressed the most. If it wasn't for the fact that there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the palace, he really didn't want to leave.
Zhao Zhang left from the tunnel, and at the other end, Du Fucheng and others were walking anxiously outside the side hall, while Yao Zhan and other imperial guards stood outside the door.
When the door was opened, Director Du was obviously relieved, and when he saw Zhao Zhang appeared, he hurried up to meet him, "Your Majesty, you have come out, Deputy Commander Ling has been waiting for you for a long time outside."
Zhao Zhang went straight to the bedroom and ordered: "Go to the bathing pool and get ready. I want to take a bath and ask Ling Jingyun to come and answer." Then he ordered Yao Zhan: "You don't have to stay here, take someone to inspect the palace, once you find someone suspicious , Immediately control, if there is resistance, kill on the spot!"
Yao Zhan took the order to leave, but he still left hundreds of imperial guards to surround the emperor's bedroom and strictly check every palace person who came in and out.
Zhao Zhang went to the bathing pool to take a bath, feeling refreshed and happy, so when he heard Ling Jingyun say that Pu Guogong led his family and wanted to leave the house by force, Zhao Zhang was not angry.
"Have you explained to the generals in Pu Guogong's mansion that those who dare to obey orders and disobey will be punished as treason?"
"Speaking of which, I heard that Pu Guogong killed many people in the mansion, and those generals who wanted to sneak out and surrender were all executed."
Zhao Zhang soaked in the water with his eyes closed. He knew what kind of person his grandfather was. Several generations ago, the Pu family was also a military commander. It was not until a queen was born that the first emperor was afraid of the power of his relatives, so the Pu family handed over the military power. .
Because of this, the first emperor expressed deep regret to the Pu family, gave the Pu family many privileges, and turned a blind eye to the Pu family's behavior of training thousands of generals. These thousands of generals can be worth ten thousand regular army.
"Then Pu Guogong has left the mansion?"
"In the past, the minister and Commander Shi mobilized a thousand archers to guard the door, and it was difficult for the opponent to escape with high force. Besides, there were patrolling soldiers everywhere in Chang'an City. Pu Guogong didn't come out, but he insisted on meeting the Holy Majesty. .”
"Oh? It's not easy to persist until today. You should send someone to take your grandfather into the palace." Zhao Zhang came out of the water, asked the little eunuch to put on clothes for him, and then went to the bedroom with slippers on.
When Ling Jingyun was following him, he sharply saw the hickey mark on his neck and a thin scratch, and his heart was shocked.
He hurriedly lowered his head, thinking to himself: Could it be that the emperor is in the harem tonight?But I heard that he had been resting alone in the side hall before, and he didn't call the queen and concubine Fang at all.
Or was it just a lucky little maid?Ling Jingyun never thought that Zhao Zhang just left the palace and went to Shen's residence. If he knew, he would have to scold Shen Jia in his heart: disaster!
After returning to the sleeping hall to get dressed, Zhao Zhang had no time to rest, so he went to the imperial study to meet Pu Guogong.
The old and vigorous Grand Duke was a little embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a first-grade Duke's court clothes, but it hadn't been changed for several days, and it was a little wrinkled, and his hair was much grayer. The expression on his face was indescribable forbearance and resentment.
"Veteran Pu Zhan sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" Pu Guogong knelt down and saluted.
"Excuse me, come here, give my grandfather a seat, and bring some food." Zhao Zhang ordered with a normal expression.
Pu Guogong raised his head, stared straight at the young emperor on the dragon chair with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, it's not easy, the old minister didn't even know when you wanted to kill the Pu family, let alone when you started to make arrangements. Yes, they were able to find out more than 100 crimes against the Pu family in a short period of time!"
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the so-called beating drums must be organized by someone. Otherwise, what a coincidence that more than 100 people gathered together to sue the Pu family?
At first Pu Guogong didn't know who was trying to harm him, but after the Pu family was surrounded by Jinwuwei and Jinyiwei, he still couldn't understand that it was clearly the emperor who wanted to get rid of their Pu family, no wonder even the queen mother was sent out of Chang'an.
"I also really want to ask, how did my grandfather manage the family? Could one of the more than 100 crimes be slandering your Pu family? Pu Kunpeng alone killed many people. Does my grandfather know about these things? Managed?"
"Your majesty is serious. Which big family doesn't have one or two dudes, the descendants of the Pu family are indeed useless, but is this the reason why the emperor wants to exterminate the Pu family?"
"Yes!" Zhao Zhang nodded and said, "There is a limit to my patience with the Pu family. The Pu family has done a lot of evil, and I want to give an account to the people of the world."
"Hahaha! Absurd! What does the emperor want to explain to the people? You also have the blood of the Pu clan on your body. Isn't it because you are worried about your own throne being unstable if you destroy the Pu family so radically?" Pu Guogong sighed, feeling old-fashioned, " I know that you must have hated your grandfather when you wanted to support Ting'er to ascend the throne because of your grandfather's mistake, but didn't your grandfather still support you in the end? The Pu family owes a lot to you for being able to sit in this position!"
Zhao Zhang smiled, but he couldn't figure out what it meant. He didn't bear any grudges that Pu Guogong once wanted to support a young child to become the throne, but he could see the ambition of the Pu family from that incident. His mother thought that the Pu family just liked the prince more, so Only Zhao Ting was chosen, but Zhao Zhang saw that the Pu family clearly wanted to coerce the emperor to order the princes, help the young children to be in power, and the Pu family would be able to assist the government in an open and honest manner. Then it is hard to say who the Jin Dynasty is in the end. up.
"I don't need to tell you what my grandfather has in mind, and I don't have time to discuss right and wrong with you. The joint trial of the three divisions will end soon, and you can be sentenced to the crimes listed at that time. Don't worry, as long as there is no crime. The Pu family, I will not pursue it!"
"The emperor is so kind!" Pu Guogong sarcastically said, "You are fledgling, and it is not a good time to fight against the Pu family at this time. I thought you would wait until the queen mother is a hundred years before doing it."
Zhao Zhang said in a deep voice: "Grandfather always thought that I was selfish in dealing with the Pu family, but if the Pu family obeyed the rules, how could I still slander the Pu family? I have regretted it a lot these days. If I knew the Pu family did a lot of evil, I should have done it." Check it out early, get rid of the cancer early, maybe you can save a few lives of the Pu family."
"Is there really no room left?" Pu Guogong sighed.
"It depends on the results of the review. My grandfather must know in his heart what the Pu family has done these years. You are also a person who understands the law, so you should be able to know what the results will be."
"Hehe, good! Good! Very good! The emperor has grown up, and he is no longer the child who can act coquettishly and beg for sugar. But it is not so easy for the emperor to want the lives of the whole Pu family. The emperor should think twice."
Zhao Zhang said calmly: "I don't need to think twice, I just need to follow the law and give the people an explanation."
Seeing that he was determined to run the Pu family, Pu Guogong lost the mood to speak for a moment. He got up and went out, and said in a deep voice: "Well, the old minister will wait for the sentence at home. Even if my nephew commits a serious crime, my Pu family will There are always innocent people, as long as one person is still alive, the Pu family will not be finished."
When he got to the gate, Pu Guogong suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Zhang coldly, twitched his lips, and said, "By the way, there is something that the old minister forgot to tell the emperor. A few days ago, Fang'er asked the old minister to check whether the emperor left the palace that year. Where did they go, what did they do, who did they know? They originally wanted to find the emperor's sweetheart and bring them to the palace. Unexpectedly, the person they found was not a woman, but Mr. Shen, who is now in the limelight. Your Majesty It's so deep, the old minister didn't expect that the emperor would not be close to women because of such a thing. It's really not easy for the Zhao family to have a love like the emperor. You said, if people in the world know that the emperor is dismissed because of a man What about the harem?"
Zhao Zhang's eyes darkened, staring at Pu Guogong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he suddenly felt disgusted, he sat on the dragon chair, and said word by word: "If Pu Guogong wants to spread the word for me, it's okay. , I also want to know whether outsiders are listening to Pu Guogong or mine, and I will not pursue it for the time being because you spoke unscrupulously before you died."
After Pu Guogong left, Zhao Zhang sat on the dragon chair in a daze for a while. It was not too surprising that Pu Guogong would find out about him and Shen Jia. After all, there were traces of when he and Shen Jia were together. , just don't know what he will do.
"Come here." Zhao Zhang selected ten people from the secret guards overnight to protect Shen Jia in the Shen residence. He was not afraid that Pu Guogong would publicize this matter. He was worried that Pu Guogong would threaten him with Shen Jia's life.
He stepped back step by step, and his body stuck to the gate. If it was a ghost that ran out, he should still have time to get out.
The gap in the wall was getting bigger and bigger, and a little light came out from inside. Looking carefully, a tall figure stood in the darkness, and the light was emanating from him.
Shen Jia asked nervously: "Who is it?" By this time, he also understood that there was a secret passage in his room, and he didn't know when it was built, let alone who would come out from here.

Immediately, fear turned into grief and indignation, she threw away the stick in her hand and ran to jump on the opponent's body, strangling the opponent's body Neck questioned: "You are crazy! How can you be so scary? Also, why is there a secret passage here? When did you dig it?"
He asked a series of questions. Zhao Zhang didn't know that there was someone in the room, and he knocked on the wall several times but no one responded. He thought that Shen Jia was not in the room, otherwise he would not have kept silent.
"Sorry, I scared you." Zhao Zhang apologized, grabbed Shen Jia's butt with both hands, carried him to the bedside and put him down, and stroked his back soothingly. It took Shen Jia a long time to calm down.
"I'm fine." Shen Jia said calmly, pushed Zhao Zhang's arms away, and glared at him: "Quickly, you haven't answered my question yet, why is there a secret passage here? Did you plan it in advance?"

Zhao Zhang laughed softly, "There are tunnels in the palace, and one of them leads to Yujingfang. Coincidentally, the head of the household also dug a secret room and a tunnel at home for escape. The two sides were originally not connected. I had someone repair it again, so there is a secret road from the palace to your house, so you don't have to worry about not seeing me, isn't it great?"
Shen Jia really didn't expect it to be like this, he asked with lingering fear: "Then have you ever sneaked here before? Do I just sleep in the exit of the secret passage every day like this?"
"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows this secret way. You're very safe. I thought about it when I rewarded this house. If you get it, then if I want your life, I can hide it from you. If someone else gets it, I will seal the secret passage!"
"I think you're crazy too. Why did you kill me without anyone noticing?" Although Shen Jia was afraid that Zhao Zhang would hate him and want to kill him, she also knew that he couldn't do such a thing. Hearing what Zhao Zhang said, I thought anxiously: Am I too confident?

Zhao Zhang showed an evil smile, rushed towards him, pressed him on the bed, held his hands and imprisoned him above his head, and said in a low voice, "Can you resist?"
The difference in stature between the two is not small. Zhao Zhang has been riding and shooting since elementary school, and his martial arts are good. In terms of physical strength, the two Shen Jia are not his opponents.

Zhao Zhang squeezed the flesh on his body, wishing he could take a bite, this man is really disgusting!
Shen Jia told him about today's banquet, and about County Lord Liu's visit, and ignored Cao Shizi alone, lest Zhao Zhang think too much.
"That's such a beauty. Now that I believe you, you really can't be hard on women. Otherwise, if you can't be tempted by such a beauty every day, I'm afraid it will be Liu Xiahui."

Shen Jia was touched at this moment, Zhao Zhang made such a concession for them to be together, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
"Let's not talk about that, the spring night is short, let's do something meaningful!"
Shen Jia felt that his waist was about to break. After the second time, he insisted on getting up, saying that he wanted to look at the wall, and then suddenly remembered the key that Zhao Zhang gave him, took it out and asked, "Where is this key?" Where's the key?"
Zhao Zhang put on a coat, took the key from him, walked to the closed wall, and opened the wooden board on the shelf from the third shelf on the left, revealing a hole, inserted the key and turned it, The wall made a turning sound, and a passage was soon revealed.
Shen Jia was a little scared looking at the dark passage, and asked him, "Did you walk here alone just now?"
"Of course, the less people know about this passage, the better." Zhao Zhang was still reluctant to leave, so he turned off the switch and pulled Shen Jia back to the bed, hugged him and said, "I'll take you through it again next time. It's not far away. Just walk for a while." The bell will arrive, and the exit is in my side hall."
"The emperor has been out for a long time. Is it time to go back to the palace? Wouldn't it be nice to be found out that you are not in the palace?"
"It's okay, with Du Fucheng guarding me, I'm very angry today, and I won't see anyone even if I tell you."
Shen Jia also went to court in the past few days, and knew that every day the court was arguing about the Pu family's affairs. Although a large group of officials were eager to get rid of the relationship with the Pu family, the Pu family had many vassals and in-laws. I also think that the Pu family is unlucky, and more importantly, if the Pu family falls, they will also be at risk of being implicated, so the two sides are in trouble.
"How is the investigation of the Pu family going?"
"Many old cases cannot be investigated in a day or two. Fortunately, there is no need to investigate all the cases. I am still waiting for an opportunity."
"What time?"
"The opportunity to wipe out the Pu family." Zhao Zhang didn't say much, he didn't want Shen Jia to participate too much, the centipede was dead but not stiff, and the Pu family hadn't been encircled yet, Shen Jia knew too much was too dangerous.
Shen Jia frowned and said: "If the Pu family fights before they die, it will cause a lot of casualties. Will the emperor use absolute force to suppress it? There should be members of the Pu family in any army in Beijing, is there any?" Maybe the enemy should cooperate with the outside?"
Zhao Zhang's expression became serious, and he knew this, but the Pu family was so powerful that he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to clean it up, so he could only deal with it carefully.
"Let's not talk about that, you don't go out except Yingmao this month, the street is very chaotic."
"Okay, I will pay attention to safety." Speaking of this, Shen Jia remembered the matter of buying guards, so she asked Zhao Zhang for advice. The superiors must have more experience in such matters.
Zhao Zhang said happily, "Why bother, I'll just send a few people to help you."
"No, I'm a fifth-rank official and protected by the emperor's people. I don't know what others will say when they see it."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'll appoint people I don't know. I don't worry about the people I bought from outside." Zhao Zhang held Shen Jia's hand. When people have concerns, they always worry about this and that, Zhao Zhang I don't want Shen Jia to encounter an accident.
Shen Jia didn't refuse. Being the emperor's lover was not a safe job, and he couldn't hold Zhao Zhang back.
As the night deepened, there was a knock on the door, and He Yan stood outside and asked, "Master, you haven't eaten dinner yet, do you want some supper?"
Shen Jia was really hungry right now, and was in urgent need of replenishing energy due to excessive physical exertion. He touched Zhao Zhang's belly and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhao Zhang held his hand and said with dull eyes, "I want to eat you more."
Shen Jia couldn't bear the torment anymore, turned over and sat up, and shouted outside: "Ayan, put some food at the door, I'll get it later."
He Yan asked suspiciously: "Are you still asleep? Can't I go in?"
"Hey, I just took a shower and didn't put on any clothes. Wait a minute."
He Yan muttered: "They're all men, what's wrong with not wearing clothes?" But he did as he did, put the food box at the door, and said: "It's cold, young master, wear more, don't freeze. "
"understood."
"The chicken noodle soup made in the kitchen, and some snacks, you can eat whatever you want, don't get too full."
"Okay, Ayan, go back to sleep."
Zhao Zhang was a bit apprehensive when he heard the words of the master and servant. Shen Jia was too kind to He Yan, and He Yan was not bad at all. People are jealous.
"How old is He Yan?" Zhao Zhang asked casually.
"Fifteen, sixteen after the new year." Shen Jia replied.
"Oh, it's time to get married."
Shen Jia nodded, "Indeed, but I don't have anyone to choose, I don't even have a maid at home."
"Shall I help him find one?" Zhao Zhang asked enthusiastically, any maid in his palace would be enough to match him.
Shen Jia shook her head: "How can you casually refer to marriage in a serious marriage? He Yan has to like it."
"As long as you have a lot of work, which slave can choose his own candidate? Besides, I must choose someone who is both talented and beautiful. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"It's not that I married a wife. What am I dissatisfied with? The point is that He Yan is satisfied." On this point, the two obviously couldn't reach a consensus. Ask him what he likes, even Tianxianzhen will find it for him."
Shen Jia pinched his nose and asked, "Why do I feel that your words are so sour? Why did Ah Yan offend you?"
"I can't bear to see unmarried single men around you, so you have to marry him as soon as possible!"
"So that's the case. I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, Ayan is a straight man. We won't have any sparks."
"Then can I spark with you? I want to try..."
Shen Jia hurriedly stopped him: "No, I have to go to court tomorrow, I... um..."
"I allow you to take a day off!"
Zhao Zhang only left at Zishi, and Shen Jialei couldn't open his eyes when he left. He took the other's hand in a daze and said, "Don't leave me." Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Zhang covered him with the quilt, his eyes were infinitely gentle, he lowered his head to Shen Jia's ear and whispered: "I have to go back, but I will always be here, you don't have to worry."
Until this moment, Zhao Zhang felt reunited, and Shen Jia's unconscious dependence and reluctance made him feel distressed the most. If it wasn't for the fact that there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the palace, he really didn't want to leave.
Zhao Zhang left from the tunnel, and at the other end, Du Fucheng and others were walking anxiously outside the side hall, while Yao Zhan and other imperial guards stood outside the door.
When the door was opened, Director Du was obviously relieved, and when he saw Zhao Zhang appeared, he hurried up to meet him, "Your Majesty, you have come out, Deputy Commander Ling has been waiting for you for a long time outside."
Zhao Zhang went straight to the bedroom and ordered: "Go to the bathing pool and get ready. I want to take a bath and ask Ling Jingyun to come and answer." Then he ordered Yao Zhan: "You don't have to stay here, take someone to inspect the palace, once you find someone suspicious , Immediately control, if there is resistance, kill on the spot!"
Yao Zhan took the order to leave, but he still left hundreds of imperial guards to surround the emperor's bedroom and strictly check every palace person who came in and out.
Zhao Zhang went to the bathing pool to take a bath, feeling refreshed and happy, so when he heard Ling Jingyun say that Pu Guogong led his family and wanted to leave the house by force, Zhao Zhang was not angry.
"Have you explained to the generals in Pu Guogong's mansion that those who dare to obey orders and disobey will be punished as treason?"
"Speaking of which, I heard that Pu Guogong killed many people in the mansion, and those generals who wanted to sneak out and surrender were all executed."
Zhao Zhang soaked in the water with his eyes closed. He knew what kind of person his grandfather was. Several generations ago, the Pu family was also a military commander. It was not until a queen was born that the first emperor was afraid of the power of his relatives, so the Pu family handed over the military power. .
Because of this, the first emperor expressed deep regret to the Pu family, gave the Pu family many privileges, and turned a blind eye to the Pu family's behavior of training thousands of generals. These thousands of generals can be worth ten thousand regular army.
"Then Pu Guogong has left the mansion?"
"In the past, the minister and Commander Shi mobilized a thousand archers to guard the door, and it was difficult for the opponent to escape with high force. Besides, there were patrolling soldiers everywhere in Chang'an City. Pu Guogong didn't come out, but he insisted on meeting the Holy Majesty. .”
"Oh? It's not easy to persist until today. You should send someone to take your grandfather into the palace." Zhao Zhang came out of the water, asked the little eunuch to put on clothes for him, and then went to the bedroom with slippers on.
When Ling Jingyun was following him, he sharply saw the hickey mark on his neck and a thin scratch, and his heart was shocked.
He hurriedly lowered his head, thinking to himself: Could it be that the emperor is in the harem tonight?But I heard that he had been resting alone in the side hall before, and he didn't call the queen and concubine Fang at all.
Or was it just a lucky little maid?Ling Jingyun never thought that Zhao Zhang just left the palace and went to Shen's residence. If he knew, he would have to scold Shen Jia in his heart: disaster!
After returning to the sleeping hall to get dressed, Zhao Zhang had no time to rest, so he went to the imperial study to meet Pu Guogong.
The old and vigorous Grand Duke was a little embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a first-grade Duke's court clothes, but it hadn't been changed for several days, and it was a little wrinkled, and his hair was much grayer. The expression on his face was indescribable forbearance and resentment.
"Veteran Pu Zhan sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" Pu Guogong knelt down and saluted.
"Excuse me, come here, give my grandfather a seat, and bring some food." Zhao Zhang ordered with a normal expression.
Pu Guogong raised his head, stared straight at the young emperor on the dragon chair with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, it's not easy, the old minister didn't even know when you wanted to kill the Pu family, let alone when you started to make arrangements. Yes, they were able to find out more than 100 crimes against the Pu family in a short period of time!"
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the so-called beating drums must be organized by someone. Otherwise, what a coincidence that more than 100 people gathered together to sue the Pu family?
At first Pu Guogong didn't know who was trying to harm him, but after the Pu family was surrounded by Jinwuwei and Jinyiwei, he still couldn't understand that it was clearly the emperor who wanted to get rid of their Pu family, no wonder even the queen mother was sent out of Chang'an.
"I also really want to ask, how did my grandfather manage the family? Could one of the more than 100 crimes be slandering your Pu family? Pu Kunpeng alone killed many people. Does my grandfather know about these things? Managed?"
"Your majesty is serious. Which big family doesn't have one or two dudes, the descendants of the Pu family are indeed useless, but is this the reason why the emperor wants to exterminate the Pu family?"
"Yes!" Zhao Zhang nodded and said, "There is a limit to my patience with the Pu family. The Pu family has done a lot of evil, and I want to give an account to the people of the world."
"Hahaha! Absurd! What does the emperor want to explain to the people? You also have the blood of the Pu clan on your body. Isn't it because you are worried about your own throne being unstable if you destroy the Pu family so radically?" Pu Guogong sighed, feeling old-fashioned, " I know that you must have hated your grandfather when you wanted to support Ting'er to ascend the throne because of your grandfather's mistake, but didn't your grandfather still support you in the end? The Pu family owes a lot to you for being able to sit in this position!"
Zhao Zhang smiled, but he couldn't figure out what it meant. He didn't bear any grudges that Pu Guogong once wanted to support a young child to become the throne, but he could see the ambition of the Pu family from that incident. His mother thought that the Pu family just liked the prince more, so Only Zhao Ting was chosen, but Zhao Zhang saw that the Pu family clearly wanted to coerce the emperor to order the princes, help the young children to be in power, and the Pu family would be able to assist the government in an open and honest manner. Then it is hard to say who the Jin Dynasty is in the end. up.
"I don't need to tell you what my grandfather has in mind, and I don't have time to discuss right and wrong with you. The joint trial of the three divisions will end soon, and you can be sentenced to the crimes listed at that time. Don't worry, as long as there is no crime. The Pu family, I will not pursue it!"
"The emperor is so kind!" Pu Guogong sarcastically said, "You are fledgling, and it is not a good time to fight against the Pu family at this time. I thought you would wait until the queen mother is a hundred years before doing it."
Zhao Zhang said in a deep voice: "Grandfather always thought that I was selfish in dealing with the Pu family, but if the Pu family obeyed the rules, how could I still slander the Pu family? I have regretted it a lot these days. If I knew the Pu family did a lot of evil, I should have done it." Check it out early, get rid of the cancer early, maybe you can save a few lives of the Pu family."
"Is there really no room left?" Pu Guogong sighed.
"It depends on the results of the review. My grandfather must know in his heart what the Pu family has done these years. You are also a person who understands the law, so you should be able to know what the results will be."
"Hehe, good! Good! Very good! The emperor has grown up, and he is no longer the child who can act coquettishly and beg for sugar. But it is not so easy for the emperor to want the lives of the whole Pu family. The emperor should think twice."
Zhao Zhang said calmly: "I don't need to think twice, I just need to follow the law and give the people an explanation."
Seeing that he was determined to run the Pu family, Pu Guogong lost the mood to speak for a moment. He got up and went out, and said in a deep voice: "Well, the old minister will wait for the sentence at home. Even if my nephew commits a serious crime, my Pu family will There are always innocent people, as long as one person is still alive, the Pu family will not be finished."
When he got to the gate, Pu Guogong suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Zhang coldly, twitched his lips, and said, "By the way, there is something that the old minister forgot to tell the emperor. A few days ago, Fang'er asked the old minister to check whether the emperor left the palace that year. Where did they go, what did they do, who did they know? They originally wanted to find the emperor's sweetheart and bring them to the palace. Unexpectedly, the person they found was not a woman, but Mr. Shen, who is now in the limelight. Your Majesty It's so deep, the old minister didn't expect that the emperor would not be close to women because of such a thing. It's really not easy for the Zhao family to have a love like the emperor. You said, if people in the world know that the emperor is dismissed because of a man What about the harem?"
Zhao Zhang's eyes darkened, staring at Pu Guogong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he suddenly felt disgusted, he sat on the dragon chair, and said word by word: "If Pu Guogong wants to spread the word for me, it's okay. , I also want to know whether outsiders are listening to Pu Guogong or mine, and I will not pursue it for the time being because you spoke unscrupulously before you died."
After Pu Guogong left, Zhao Zhang sat on the dragon chair in a daze for a while. It was not too surprising that Pu Guogong would find out about him and Shen Jia. After all, there were traces of when he and Shen Jia were together. , just don't know what he will do.
"Come here." Zhao Zhang selected ten people from the secret guards overnight to protect Shen Jia in the Shen residence. He was not afraid that Pu Guogong would publicize this matter. He was worried that Pu Guogong would threaten him with Shen Jia's life.
