"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter what this ghost is, you should not take it lightly. Since ancient times, how many people have used the name of ghosts to commit rebellion. Therefore, the emperor should find the ghost as soon as possible."

Changsun Wuji snorted and said,

"Since they are all ghosts, how can we find them? If he is a heinous thing, is it possible that the soldiers will pay for it with their lives?"

"Whether it is a ghost or a human, as long as it is a living thing and dares to walk on the street, it must be a fearless thing."

Wei Zheng replied,

"Furthermore, Master Changsun, do you really think this is a ghost?"

Changsun Wuji said contemptuously,

"Hmph, as everyone says, three people become a tiger. I don't believe that there are ghosts who dare to wreak havoc at the feet of the emperor in this Chang'an city."

At this time Li Shimin asked,

"Then according to what Zhong Aiqing said, how should we treat this... ghost?"

Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said,

"Reporting to the emperor, I believe that it should be found as soon as possible. If it is a person, then I implore the emperor to favor him. If it is really a ghost, then it is another matter."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement

"What Ai Qing said is very true"

At this time Changsun Wuji immediately denied it and said,

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. If this ghost is a human being, it must have ulterior motives. It must not be kept. It should be killed immediately to prevent future troubles. If it is a ghost, it must be executed immediately to show the hearts of the people."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, thinking silently, what these two people said made sense.

No matter which aspect is considered, such a thing in Chang'an City will definitely disturb the hearts of the people.

If you don't want to do this, the way is to make it disappear.

Seeing that Li Shimin hesitated, Wei Zheng quickly said,

"Your Majesty, if you kill this person indiscriminately, it will definitely tarnish the Emperor's wisdom. If this person is deliberately released as a bait, the Emperor will fall into his trap if he makes this trip."

"Then..." Li Shimin was extremely troubled.

Wei Zheng said,

"I think it's better to invite this person and let the emperor and all the courtiers have a look together. If he is really a vicious person, it's okay to kill him."

Just as Changsun Wuji was about to speak, Wei Zheng said first,

"I see that the eldest grandson is so eager, so he must recommend himself to invite this person?"

Changsun Wuji's face changed slightly, he flicked his sleeves,

"I can't do this, Mr. Wei should invite it himself."

Li Shimin said, "My dear friends, who would like to invite this ghost... er, who will come?"

After hearing this, many ministers whispered, you look at me, I look at you, but no one is willing to stand up.

When Li Shimin glanced at everyone, some of them were obviously trying to avoid them.

Zhang Weijing is the Minister of the Ministry of War of the third rank, a newly promoted official in recent years.

Under normal circumstances, it was the end of his journey to this point, and there was no possibility of him reaching a higher level.

In addition, he was different from the group of veterans who followed Li Shimin back then. He missed the Xuanwu Gate Change, so he didn't have a solid foundation.

Therefore, he could only do his duty in the imperial court, and never dared to show it.

And he is also a rare centrist.

Seeing that those civil servants and military generals were unwilling to go, he felt that this was an opportunity for him to show his ambitions.

If this matter is done, how come he will have a little more right to speak in front of the emperor.

Don't underestimate this opportunity, it's like a stepping stone, once knocked on, it will be a bright future.

Zhang Weijing gritted his teeth, no matter what the ghost was, it was nothing compared to his future.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

This sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the court hall, and many people secretly looked towards this side.

Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Weijing, his breathing became a little heavy.

Originally, he wasn't very wary of Zhang Weijing. Although the latter belonged to the neutral faction, he had always kept his own place and never showed any signs of behavior.

After a long time, he almost ignored this person. He never thought that he would jump out today.

Li Shimin said happily,

"Then I will leave this matter to Zhang Aiqing, but if there is danger, there is no need to force it."

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor, I will do it immediately"

Zhang Weijing, who received the emperor's care, was so excited, he could almost think about the days when he would be on the rise.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Shimin also felt tired,

"Do you still have to play, all the lovers? If there is no play, you will retreat immediately."

Many ministers said at the same time,

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

After the imperial court was over, some people looked at Zhang Weijing with something wrong.

Zhang Weijing originally wanted to talk to a few people he had been friends with in the past,

But he never thought that those people would run away in panic. Only his teacher, an old minister, said to him,

"Viking, you are reckless!"

Zhang Weijing asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"

The old minister shook his head,

"I can't say whether it's right or wrong, it's just that your choice of this path...is risky."

After the old minister left, another person came. This person had slanted eyes, thin eyebrows, and a thin face.

"My lord Zhang, I have been favored today, and I will be prosperous in the future, so don't forget me!"

"Lord Liu is serious. We are all serving the emperor, so we should do our best."

Minister Liu said contemptuously,

"I'm afraid you have the heart but not the strength. I warn you, don't force yourself to do things, otherwise..."

He approached Zhang Weijing's ear,

"I don't know how I died!"

After speaking, he left like the wind.

Changsun Wuji passed by him, but his eyes slanted and he looked up and down.

Out of suspicion of his status, Zhang Weijing cupped his hands and said hello.

"Master grandson."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said,

"Master Zhang is majestic!"

There was both threat and contempt in the tone.When the person left, he also shook his long sleeves.

Wei Zheng then came to Zhang Weijing, saluted first, and then said a few words with concern.

Although it was only a few shallow chats, Zhang Weijing could still clearly feel the other party's displeasure.

After everyone left, he stood in the empty court hall and swore secretly,

"In the past, you all looked down on me, but I, Zhang Weijing, am by no means a weak and incompetent person, and one day I will be beyond your reach."

This time, Zhang Weijing put all his chips on this ghost. After he returned, he immediately ordered the whole city to search for traces of the ghost, and if he found it, he would be arrested immediately.

When he got home, he was excited about this moment, but he saw his son coming back from the side door in a leisurely manner.

Seeing this son who has nothing to do all day long and only knows how to spend money to cause trouble, he felt a headache for a while.

At this moment, he happened to be in a good mood, so he called out to stop this disappointing son.

"Wen'er, where did you come back from?"

Zhang Wen was arrogant and unreasonable outside, but when he saw Zhang Weijing, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.There's no way, it's all been beaten since childhood, and the shadows have been cast out.

He was afraid of being seen by his father, so he walked by the side door, but who knows, he still ran into it.

Upon hearing Zhang Weijing's call, Zhang Wen's legs softened, he grinned, and rushed to Zhang Weijing,

"Father, you are back!"

Zhang Weijing wanted to talk to his son while he was in a good mood, otherwise, just seeing Zhang Wen's appearance, he couldn't help but make a move.But before he could open his mouth, he accidentally saw something in Zhang Wen's waist, Zhang Weijing's throat suddenly shrank, as if being strangled by someone, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell backwards.

Chapter 85, Momentary Heartbeat

The sudden scene frightened Zhang Wen, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Weijing,

"Father, dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the child!"

Although Zhang Weijing has been strict with him since he was a child, and Zhang Wen has always been in a state of rebellion, Zhang Weijing is his biological father after all, so it is impossible for Zhang Wen not to have any feelings for him.

Zhang Weijing only felt that the world was dark, his mind was in chaos, and there was a buzzing sound in his head.Even if Zhang Wen called loudly, it sounded like a mosquito to him.

He didn't wake up until there was a tingling pain in the person under his nose.

Zhang Wenyu said desperately: "Father, are you okay? You really scared the child just now."

Zhang Weijing's mind was still blank, he pondered what happened just now.

"I just……"

Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the objects on Zhang Wen's waist again, and then slapped Zhang Wen's face in joy.

"You bastard!"

Zhang Wen was in a daze. He didn't know why he was beaten. He asked inexplicably,

"Father, why are you doing this? Did the child do something wrong?"

Zhang Weijing pointed at Zhang Wen with trembling fingers,

"You, you just idle around every day and cause trouble for me. You have caused trouble for me now, you know?"

Zhang Wen was puzzled.

Zhang Weijing stretched out his hand and grabbed the objects around the opponent's waist,

"Honestly, where did this Beaulieu Pendant come from?"

Zhang Wen was so determined, he said dismissively,

"I thought it was a big deal, so it's because of this?"

He explained,

"I asked for this from a friend. I'll return it after a few days of boredom. It's no big deal. If Dad likes it, I'll give it to you."

Hearing this, Zhang Weijing was in a bad mood,

"You...you...ah!"

"Father, what's wrong with you today? Could it be that this jade pendant still has some background?"

"Son, you are so ignorant, our Zhang family may be executed because of this jade pendant."

Zhang Weijing instantly aged more than ten years, he tremblingly raised his hand and pointed at Panlong Pei and said:

"This panlong pendant was bestowed on the fourth prince by the emperor himself. It was witnessed by all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. It was just that the fourth prince said a few days ago that he exchanged the jade pendant for a poem, and the poem was full of praise from the emperor." , every time you drink wine, you must recite it."

When Zhang Wen heard it, he almost understood it, and he said in fear,

"Could it be that the shopkeeper of Wanbao Building is the one who wrote the poem?"
