White Hedge Dream

Chapter 202 Perspective

Zhang Ze felt that the winter in Beijing was very cold.

Especially for a new city guard, he is always assigned to be on duty during the coldest period.

But it was great luck for him to come to the capital.

His father was a veteran of Guannai Road. His legs were trampled to pieces because of his handling of nobles' frightened horses. The nobles took pity on his son and arranged for him to be admitted to the Sixteenth Guards of the capital.

That is the capital city, a place that many people yearn for.

The same is true for Zhang Ze. Although he is smart, he has not been able to study because of his poor family. He has no way to pursue an official career. He joined the army from his father's business. His status in the frontier army is clear. It is out of reach for a small soldier like him to earn military merit.

He didn't want to spend his whole life like his father.

Suddenly, he was lucky enough to come to the capital. He was full of pride. He had met the noble man and heard the noble man's words and descriptions. He didn't think he was any worse than the noble man. He was even better than the noble man. He would be able to change in the future. The power of others' destiny.

But after entering the capital, he discovered that he was just a street envoy in the Sixteenth Guards. After guarding the street corner for half a year, the young man was turned gray by reality.

He has no family background and has no future in the Sixteenth Guards where there are many powerful children.

He is smart and capable, but relying on his intelligence and ability, he is just doing errands for others, and no one takes him seriously.

Until that Lantern Festival, he met the noble man again.

A nobleman more noble than the owner of the horse that crushed his father's legs, the emperor's favorite concubine.

He had heard about this beloved concubine for a long time. Among the guards, in the streets and alleys, and even among the beggars, there were rumors.

This woman seemed to appear suddenly, but swept across the world in an instant like a strong wind.

The late Emperor lived for so long that all his glorious deeds have become distant. It has been so long that the world does not care what the late Emperor did. Anyway, His Majesty was always wise and mighty.

But his wise and mighty Majesty was suddenly fascinated by a woman, obeyed her words, and held her in his hand.

Jiang Meiren said that Princess Jinshan scolded her with her eyes, so the late emperor asked Princess Jinshan to hold wine for Jiang Meiren in public.

King Guangping did not give way to Jiang Meiren, so the late emperor ordered King Guangping not to enter the palace for half a year.

Jiang Meiren said that she would reach for the stars, and the late emperor began to build a new pavilion.

Of course, Zhang Ze just listened to the excitement, and then laughed, cursed and complained. Women are just like playthings. If you like them, you will naturally spoil them. However, the emperor uses his status as the supreme emperor to spoil her, so he naturally appears to be illustrious.

On that Lantern Festival day, he stayed up all night on the street as usual.

Suddenly news came that the emperor and Concubine Jiang were visiting privately incognito to enjoy themselves with the people. There were no officers and soldiers to clear the road, no officials to accompany them, no guards to surround them, and no dragons to ride the guard of honor.

Many people don't even know the news.

For example, the watchman on this street joined the army. He was notified when the emperor and Jiang Meiren were about to arrive.

Joining the Army's mind went blank, echoing the orders conveyed by the chamberlain, to guard His Majesty well, but do not spoil His Majesty and His Majesty's interest.

So what to do?

The biggest battle in my life when I joined the army was to clean up the beggars on the street.

Zhang Ze stood in front of the army and planned for him sentence by sentence, how to clean up some vendors quietly and replace them with the sixteen guards on site, how to control the street, and how to mobilize the family members of the nearby sixteen guards. Come here and be the people on the street—they are real people.

The matter was settled so smoothly, and the emperor and Concubine Jiang came to the street smoothly and enjoyed folk happiness.

But he was not qualified to be present. It was said to be a private visit incognito, and it was impossible for the emperor not to have soldiers around him.

They, the city guards, had no right to get close and were driven to the outermost areas to guard.

He was not disappointed, this was what he expected. He quietly stood in the darkness of the street corner, listening to the noise coming from the market ahead.

He was very happy, thinking that if he helped out and joined the army this time, he would be able to look up to him, such as promoting him to a team leader or something.

That way he can get to know more colleagues, make more money, and then pay bribes to open up connections. In this case, he should be able to become a brigade commander by the end of the year.

Maybe next year we can mobilize operations and no longer patrol the city. Even if we patrol the city, it will still be in the imperial city, and then we can attract more powerful people.

He stood on the dark side of the street thinking, and then a group of people came over, surrounding an ox cart. Joining the army was among them. When they saw him, they hurriedly waved their hands to kneel down.

"The saint is coming, the saint is coming." Shen Jun whispered.

So the emperor came in an ox cart? It was so unique that he knelt down on one knee, not daring to look down.

The bullock cart did not pass by, but stopped.

"You did a good job tonight." The chamberlain said in a thin voice, "Let His Majesty see the real people without disturbing the people's joy."

Joining the army also knelt down and shouted loudly: "This is my duty!"

Logically speaking, His Majesty's car should have passed by at this point, but a female voice came from inside the car: "How did you do that?"

Joining the army was stunned. He was also stunned when he was kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but boldly raised his head and saw the curtain of the bullock cart was lifted, and a young woman wearing commoners was looking over.

He was stunned for a moment.

Although he had only been in the capital for half a year, he had already seen countless beauties. After all, he only saw two eyes and one mouth, nothing special.

But the beauty in front of him was different from the women he had seen.

He didn't know what was different. Maybe it was because of her burning eyes? Or is it a common female attitude without shyness, avoidance, showing off, curiosity or inquiry, etc.?

She looked directly at the person in front of her, her eyes meaningless.

Gentle, yet inexplicably majestic.

Joining the army was as dumbfounded as him, stammering and unable to say anything. Of course he couldn't. Joining the army was just a loser.

This was an opportunity. Zhang Ze immediately spoke: "This is how I arranged it."

He quickly said what he had said before about joining the army.

The woman's eyes turned from Joining the Army to him.

She looked at him, listened to what he said, and nodded with a smile.

"Very good," she said, and lowered the curtain.

The bullock cart passed slowly.

He lay on the ground and trembled with excitement. The late emperor's beloved concubine, who was holding it in his hand, praised him for being very good. He had been appreciated by a greater noble, and he was about to reach the sky in one step.

But, nothing happened.

Joining the army didn't resent him for taking advantage of him, nor did he promote him. He treated him as he did before and didn't take him seriously.

The beloved concubine did not pay special attention to him and gave him an official title. However, this is normal, after all, he only arranged a guard, and for such a noble person, he doesn't care.

He wanted more opportunities to show off himself, but he, a small city patrolling guard, was not even qualified to approach the imperial city. This beloved concubine also did not bring the emperor for a private visit in disguise.

But his chance came again.

The beloved concubine was no longer a concubine, but became a queen. She set up a concubine to open up channels of communication and recruit talents.

He was overjoyed. Whether it was extending grace, admonishing, redressing grievances, or understanding the mysteries, he voted for it. He was omnipotent, full of talents, and he was willing to serve the queen.

He even cheekily mentioned the night out, showing that he had been praised by her.

But, there was no response.

He thought that maybe this was just an illusion, that the queen was just showing off and would not read these letters.

But suddenly two colleagues around him were promoted.

In fact, it's not a promotion, it's just transferring them to a place they really want to go.

The two men were so excited that they confided to him in drunkenness that it was Empress Chiang's gift.

"I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect the queen to actually read it."

"The queen saw the accounts I wrote and must have thought that I am good at counting and should go to Caocang to join the army and work under her."

He is like a thunderbolt. Compared with these two people, he is smarter, braver, and has various means. He can do anything and dare to do anything!

She saw these two people, why didn't she look at him?

He kept sending letters, and then watched her become more and more powerful, and there were more and more people around her, but he never responded.

He thought that he still came from a humble background, had no family connections, and did not have a huge fortune. She looked down on him and thought he could not help her.

He no longer insisted on writing books, he started to continue running the business, he spent money like water, and he gradually got promoted.

He is taciturn and calm in his work. The most important thing is that he is not afraid of Empress Chiang like others.

He knew that Empress Chiang had many people, but there were also many people who were not hers and wanted to get rid of her.

Sure enough, someone took a fancy to him and selected him to join the Qianniu Guard.

"Perhaps one day you can help His Highness and do your best for the safety of Great Zhou."

He didn't care which highness he helped, nor did he care about the safety of Dazhou. He just wanted to see the regret of the person who didn't use him.

But unfortunately, he finally walked in front of her, and she fell to pieces on the ground.

After all, he still didn't have the chance to ask her if she regretted it.

What a shame for him.

It was previously said that the ghost of Empress Chiang was causing trouble, but he was not afraid at all. He also thought that it was a good thing that he came just in time to meet and ask her.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I really saw it.

Zhang Ze knelt on the ground, feeling the buzzing in his ears and the pain caused by his knees colliding with the masonry.

The pain condensed his confused consciousness.

This is an illusion, this is an illusion. Under the guise of Empress Chiang Kai-shek's return, these evil spirits will definitely use her appearance to confuse people!

They were playing this trick on him. Could he be frightened by an illusion?

Zhang Ze's face was cold. He put his hands on the ground and stood up slowly.

There was a sound falling overhead.

"Zhang Ze." She said, her voice a little slow, as if she was thinking, "I remember you."

Zhang Ze sneered, this kind of trick...

"In the past three years, you have given me eighty-four letters of grace, sixty-five letters of admonition, twenty-eight letters of justice, and forty-nine letters of enlightenment."

Zhang Ze's hand on the ground slipped. He was about to stand up and fell to his knees again. His knees hit the stone bricks again, causing pain.

Pain spread throughout his body and shot up to the top of his head.

He clearly remembered the documents he submitted. Each time, he drew a dense line on the wall. That wall is still moved to his current spacious mansion.

He kept the detailed numbers in mind.

This is a secret that only he knows.

How is she

She knows! She saw it!

No, this is an illusion. The warlock said that in the illusion, everything you see and hear is what you think.

The warlock also said that those in the illusion should not respond.

Zhang Ze looked at the woman standing in front of him. She was wearing an ugly palace robe like that of a low-class palace maid, but her eyes were still burning and her back was straight.

Zhang Ze was a little dizzy, as if he had returned to that night again. He rushed in, he wanted to be the first to catch Empress Chiang.

But what greeted him was only a **** corpse on the ground.

Now, the corpse slowly regained its shape, then stood up and looked at him slightly.

"I was also wondering why you didn't vote for me later." She said, looking him over. "It turns out you voted for someone else."

voted for others.

Does he want to vote for someone else?

It’s not because of her!

Zhang Ze only felt his body trembling, his lips were also trembling, and then he heard his own voice asking: "Since you saw it, why don't you use me?"

The woman in front of him smiled.

"Of course it's because you have mediocre qualifications," she said.

Alas, I was even more exhausted after the trip, so I only managed to write half a chapter.

Hopefully it will be back soon and new episodes are in the works.
