Straight man of steel

Chapter 72 The Wizard Zhang Yuan
Sometimes you think that you are a special character and others must need you, but in the end it is just a chess piece randomly arranged by others.

Zhang Yuan's current situation is like this, he stayed in Marquis of Wu'an Mansion for five days without being summoned by Tian Fu, during which Tian Tian came to him once and asked to leave his poems.

Fortunately, Tian Fu did not order Zhang Yuan to be grounded, and he was still able to leave the house to get some air, but there were always people following him.

After understanding his situation, Zhang Yuan felt relieved. Tian Fu just brought him here, and then let others know that Sima Xiangru, the newly promoted celebrity in front of the emperor, and his opponent are now in Changling City. Fame is something invisible and intangible, and the bigger it is, the bigger it is.

But Zhang Yuan finally understood why Tian Fu didn't invite Liu Che to see him, but he wanted to fight against his backer, whether it was because of his poor IQ or because he felt too good about himself.

Not to mention that there are many people like Tian Fu, there is another one who is still active, and he is also working against his backer.

That person is Dou Ying.

Your aunt, Queen Mother Dou, wanted to make Liu Wu the crown prince, but you said it was against the ancestral system. Your aunt liked the art of Huang Lao, but you just supported Confucianism.

In comparison, Tian Fu is better than Dou Ying. At least his general direction is the same as Liu Che's, but those tiny places really make Liu Che feel disgusted.

Take Sima Xiangru getting Liu Che's love this time, just because Tian Fu was upset with Zhuang Zhu, and Sima Xiangru was with Zhuang Zhu, so he wanted to make Zhang Yuan disgusting Sima Xiangru.

This time Zhang Yuan is really sitting from home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Inside the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was not yet 20 years old, was holding a bamboo slip and reading it as he walked.

If Tian Fu or Tian Tian were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was a poem that the people of the Marquis of Wu'an had spread to Chang'an City and the surrounding mausoleums through various channels.

These bamboo slips more or less recorded some of Zhang Yuan's published poems, and now Liu Che is holding one of them.

However, the Huangmen servant beside him still held a few volumes of letters in his arms, which together should be all of Zhang Yuan's poems.

"When my father was still there, I mentioned Wen Weng, the governor of Shu County, to me. He said that this person led the Shu people to study literature. Although Sima Xiangru appeared earlier, I thought it was a coincidence. I read this today. Only Zhang Yuan’s poems know that what the father said is true.”

"What your majesty said is that it seems that the construction of the school by the governor of Wen County has had a great effect."

Although Zhang Yuan didn't agree to Wen Weng to let him build momentum for the academy, Liu Che didn't know. Shou must have merit.

"Although Zhang Yuan has some talent, he was taken advantage of by my ignorant uncle. It seems that his intelligence is far inferior to that of Sima Xiangru."

When a person loves someone, he can't see the other person's shortcomings at all.

Now Liu Che and Sima Xiangru seem to be in a period of passionate love, knowing that Zhang Yuan was tricked by Tian Fu to run on Sima Xiangru, even if Zhang Yuan is talented, Liu Che, who is not used to Tian Fu, naturally belittles Zhang Yuan together .

The servant of the Huangmen beside Liu Che not only has the responsibility of accompanying Liu Che on trips and as a consultant, but also needs to be reminded when Liu Che forgets something as a person close to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, this piece is far from being able to compose poetry, but also quite talented."

The servant of the Huang family beside him rarely commented on a stranger like that, Liu Che rolled up the letter and turned around, wanting to hear why.

"Wizards? How did you see it?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Zhuo's iron pot?"

Nowadays, the cooking utensils used by the left and right internal history, the lord and the captain are basically Zhuo's iron pots. Since the price of iron pots has dropped to the point where common people can accept it, nearly half of the common people have started to use it. Although Liu Che You are the son of heaven, but he still knows about the utensils used to cook the dishes he eats on weekdays.

"Remember, it was built by the Zhuo family in Linqiong, Shu County."

Hearing that Liu Che didn't remember the real origin of Zhuo's iron pot, the servant of the Huangmen was very happy.

The emperor wants to remember everything, why do he need them to wait by his side.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Zhang Yuan made this iron pot of the Zhuo family, but he gave the method of making and maintaining it to the Zhuo family of Linqiong, which is why the name of the Zhuo family was given."

Liu Che only remembered bits and pieces of what happened before.

"I remembered that Wei Xin mentioned this person when he presented the dishes cooked in Zhuo's iron pot on the emperor's grandmother's birthday a few years ago."

"That's right, Your Majesty, the Zhang Yuan mentioned by Wei Xin, the prince of the Marquis of Jianling, is the one who is now in Marquis Wu'an's residence."

An iron pot can't represent anything, but it can show that Zhang Yuan is not a dead book.

"Send some people to Shu County to investigate Zhang Yuan's background. If he is really a useful talent, I will follow suit and accept my uncle's kindness."

"Your Majesty is wise."

There is no one who can serve the emperor who is not smart and tactful. The reason why the servant of Huangmen helped Zhang Yuan in this way is actually not too different from Tian Fu.

Liu Che had been in too frequent contact with Sima Xiangru during this period, which made him feel a little sense of crisis.

Zhang Yuan, who was tens of miles away, knew nothing about what happened in Weiyang Palace. Anyway, for the time being, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. He still didn't believe that Tian Fu could support him for a lifetime.

On the second day after Liu Che saw Zhang Yuan's poems, Zhang Yuan's comfortable life ended.

"Master Zhang, Lord Hou called you to his study."

Zhang Yuan was flipping through some books in the Hou Mansion in the bedroom when a servant ran in and said to Zhang Yuan.

Naturally, there is only one Lord Marquis in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and that is Tian Fu. Could it be that Tian Fu suddenly remembered that there is someone like himself in the mansion called himself?

It is reasonable that Zhang Yuan has not been to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and he has no way of knowing where Tian Fu's study is.

"Please trouble this little brother to lead the way for me."

These servants don't know Tian Fu's thoughts, they all think that Zhang Yuan is a guest of the mansion.

Zhang Yuan's attitude has already made the servant feel flattered.

"Master Zhang, this way please."

With someone leading the way, Zhang Yuan soon came to Tian Fu's study, but this is not Linqiong Zhuo Mansion, even though Tian Fu was summoned first, if he wants to see Tian Fu, he still has to let him know.

"Master Hou, Zhang Yuan is already waiting outside the door."

An extremely low voice came out slowly.

"Let him in."
