Straight man of steel

Chapter 235
Zhang Yuan's mood this time was much more exciting than the previous treasure presentations.

Before the appearance of suitable writing paper, the writing materials that could be used for recording were either as bulky as bamboo slips or as expensive as silk.

Even Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty could not always use silk as writing materials. The emperors of the Han Dynasty were relatively frugal in their daily lives, except for their relatively high funeral standards and excessive extravagance.

Although Liu Che is definitely not a frugal person, he still uses bamboo slips as his main writing material.

In Zhang Yuan's memory, it seems that the bamboo slips gradually withdrew from the stage of history hundreds of years after Cai Lun transformed papermaking.

This directly shows that the paper made by Cai Lun is either as expensive as silk, or the quality is not good enough to preserve or write.

If Zhang Yuan can popularize paper in the entire Han Dynasty in his lifetime, it will undoubtedly give a huge boost to the entire Chinese nation, and it will have an earth-shattering effect on the cultural inheritance of the Han Dynasty.

The more he thinks about this, Zhang Yuan can't stop trembling in his heart. In his opinion, this may be more important than Wei Qinghuo Qubing and other generals who will drive the Xiongnu far away in Mobei in the future.

The mission rewards and mission content of the system in his mind make Zhang Yuan more convinced that this is used to make the big man more prosperous.

With excitement, Zhang Yuan rushed to Chang'an City unknowingly. He wanted to gallop in directly on horseback, but he didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance.

"Lieutenant Cheng, wait a minute."

Ji Fu led a team of people and stopped Zhang Yuan directly at the city gate.

Zhang Yuan didn't get off his horse either, he pulled the rein to stop the horse under his crotch, turned around unconsciously, and then said to Ji Fu with a sneer.

"What do you mean, Mr. Jifu?"

Ji Fu bowed to Zhang Yuan expressionlessly, his attitude seemed extremely sincere.

There is no way that Zhang Yuan is an official, and Ji Fu is just a grassroots person. He must be polite in full view of the public.

"The prime minister sent me here to ask the lieutenant to come to the prime minister's residence to have a talk."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the troops brought by Ji Fu. These were all the guards of the prime minister's mansion, there were as many as a hundred of them.

Apart from Wei Wei's mansion, the only one who dared to lead a hundred armored soldiers around Chang'an City was the Prime Minister's mansion.

"I don't know why the prime minister asked the next official to go there?
Your Majesty has already decreed to extend the official's vacation for two months, and now it's only one month, and I have the right not to be recruited by anyone. "

The prime minister is the head of all the officials, Zhang Yuan is also a small person below, if Ji Fu forcefully sends someone to kidnap Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan will not be able to take advantage of the court in the future.

Ji Fu shook his head, made a gesture of invitation and said to Zhang Yuan.

"It's just that I have to ask about some official business, Lieutenant Cheng, don't make things difficult for me."

Seeing that avoidance was inevitable, Zhang Yuan sighed. To be honest, he didn't want to be tough.

"Does Wei Weicheng still want to watch a play on the top of the city gate? I won't help you. Seeing that Tongze was in trouble here in the past, his face is really getting thicker."

Long before arriving outside Chang'an City, Zhang Yuan saw Gongsun Ao standing on the city gate with the guards of Chang'an City.

The Weiwei Mansion is in charge of the guards at the palace gate and the city gate, and the Zhongwei Mansion is in charge of all security issues in the Chang'an area.

It can be said that Weiwei's mansion is a soldier, and the duty of the lieutenant's mansion is similar to that of a policeman.

Gongsun Ao laughed loudly when he heard Zhang Yuan shout, and then came down from the city gate.

Ji Fu still looked calm and breezy, whoever the prime minister's mansion wanted to take away didn't have to look at Wei Wei's mansion.

After Gongsun Ao came down, he bowed to Jifu.

"Mr. Jifu."

Ji Fu also saw the salute, and then asked.

"Does Wei Weicheng want to intervene in this matter?"

Gongsun Ao quickly waved his hand and said.

"The prime minister wants to discuss official affairs with the ministers under him, even if I have the courage to do so, I won't dare to obstruct it.

This is not because the two led a large group of people to block the city gate, which affected the people's access, so they came down to see what was going on. "

Seeing Gongsun Ao smoothing things over, Zhang Yuan just watched quietly. Anyway, he called Gongsun Ao to come down to delay the time.

It was impossible for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to know that Zhang Yuan was coming to Chang'an so long in advance, but the people in the Pingyang Hou's Mansion didn't know anything about it.

"Since it hinders the people from entering and leaving, I will withdraw with my troops.

Lieutenant Cheng, please stop embarrassing the old man, and follow me to meet the prime minister. "

Speaking of Jifu, the hundred or so armored soldiers behind him said they were going to retreat, but instead they took a step forward.

People who were blocked on both sides and couldn't leave the city to follow them didn't dare to make a sound. In this society, the level can actually crush people to death.

If they are hated by a big person, ordinary people like them can't afford it.

"To be honest, I have never done anything that harmed the prime minister's interests.

Moreover, it has also benefited the Prime Minister in many ways. How could it be reduced to such a situation now?

Mr. Jifu, if your current deeds and previous deeds are spread, I don’t know what the prime minister will think. You dare to force me like this. Could it be that Mr. Jifu has a way to put me to death instantly? "

Zhang Yuan was very confused, Jifu not only contacted Wang Hui privately, but also privately contacted Zhufu Yan.

Now that Wang Hui is dead, there is no proof of his death, but Zhu Fuyan is still by Liu Che's side, and Liu Che values ​​Zhu Fuyan more and more.

If word spread that Jifu wanted to change his family, what would Tian Fu think and how he would treat Jifu.

But looking at Jifu's expression of no fear at all, Zhang Yuan really has no bottom in his heart.

The ancients played these tricks, but Zhang Yuan, a modern person, said he was powerless to resist.

"Lieutenant Cheng was just joking, how could the old man, a grassroots man, have a way to deal with you.

Now that Lieutenant Cheng is asked to see the prime minister, it is not that the old man insists on coming, but he has indeed received the prime minister's warrant.

I have no intention of embarrassing Lieutenant Cheng, and please stop delaying time. "

There were more and more people crowded at both ends, and Gongsun Ao's face became more and more ugly. This place is under his jurisdiction, and it must be his responsibility for any troubles today.

"Lieutenant Cheng, let me say something.

There is no way for you to be so stiff. The prime minister wants to meet now, except for the royal family, there is no one who can compete.

Listen to my advice, go with Mr. Jifu, Zhong Weicheng was a student of the prime minister's residence before, and the prime minister would not embarrass Zhong Weicheng if he wanted to. "

Gongsun Ao's official position is getting bigger and bigger, but his character is gradually exposed.

There was still a little brotherly loyalty earlier, but now there is only fear of those with high positions in his eyes, and he cannot maintain due respect for those with low positions compared to himself.

It was at this time that a loud shout came from the crowd.

"and many more."
