Ancient promotion routine

"Rui Guogong Zhou Qin is the same as before. He is getting closer to Han Guogong and others. It seems that because of Chen Guogong's relegation, everyone in the family has begun to feel insecure." Xiao Liu thought about the recent situation in the court. , I am afraid that this family will take some action, and I am afraid that I need to strengthen my protection.

"What about Zhou Qihui?" Zhang Yanjin asked.

"This tentative son-in-law runs to the princess mansion every day." Xiaoliu smiled. Zhou Qihui thought he was a man at first, but he didn't expect that he was also a soft eater. Although he had never met the princess, he heard that the lord Having said that, it seems that she has a lot of tricks, such a powerful and scheming woman is like a snake and scorpion, and others can't hide in time, but this week Zhou Qihui is desperately sending her forward.

"However, there is a strange thing recently. King Wei often goes to brothels and restaurants recently."

After listening to General Zhao's words, Zhang Yanjin also kept some doubts in her heart.

Although King Wei is usually more elegant, he is not a person who likes wine and sex. Now is the critical moment to seize the crown prince. Even if he is as stupid as King Zhao, he will go to the palace to pay his respects every day. This King Wei bought it in a gourd. what medicine.

"My lord, Master Li is here." Rui Fu trotted over from the door.

Mr. Li always likes to come uninvited. As soon as Ruifu informed him, Li Ying appeared in front of Zhang Yanjin.

"It's okay, go and make a pot of tea for us." Zhang Yanjin said to Ruifu.

Since moving to this mansion, Zhang Yanjin has been serving Ruifu alone. Most of the other maidservants are doing delicate work such as sewing. Even in the yard, they are all old women or servants. Zhang Yanjin doesn't like too much There are many people around.

"General Zhao is here too." Li Ying put away his fan and slapped his hands.

"You didn't come here to show off who gave you the fan, did you?" Zhang Yanjin asked. Li Ying's disposition was free and easy, but he had never been in a hurry when something happened, which made Zhang Yanjin quite envious.

"Of course not. It's okay for King Wei to go to the restaurant every day to eat and drink for free, and he still pretends that I am poor and distressed. You think this is not too much? I came to ask you to persuade King Wei to leave. Why do you say that King Wei doesn’t go to the emperor to show his presence, and runs in front of me every day, and I’m not his sweetheart.” When Li Ying talked about King Wei’s behavior, he began to gnash his teeth.

In recent days, the disciples of the aristocratic families have been spending less in the restaurant. After the saffron incident, the restaurant has fewer regular customers. If some people have not bought VIP cards at a high price, it is estimated that the restaurant's business will only get worse. Well, this King Wei came to eat and drink, he was really annoyed in his heart.

"I will send King Wei's account book to the prince's mansion tomorrow, and the emperor has approved this saffron wine. Tomorrow, the restaurant will launch this set of medicinal food and medicinal wine series. The old rules, limited supply."

"By the way, you have sent me around a lot." Li Ying smiled.

"Take your account book with you. I'm going to King Wei's mansion tomorrow, just to see what King Wei has been up to lately."

Based on Zhang Yanjin's previous experience in dealing with King Wei, King Wei is not a person who would expose himself to others, so he let Li Ying attract his attention, probably he had planned it long ago.

After the morning court on the second day, Zhang Yanjin asked Ruifu to detour the carriage directly in front of Prince Wei's Mansion.

"My lord, Mr. Zhang is here."

When King Wei heard his subordinates coming to report, he immediately sent people to greet him, while he was still drinking tea in the small pavilion in the palace garden.

The flowers are in full bloom, accompanied by delicacies and beauties.

This is what Zhang Yanjin saw when he came in.

"My lord is polite." Zhang Yanjin bowed his hands and greeted him. He is now a third-rank minister, so naturally he doesn't need to bow down to King Wei, except for bowing down when seeing the emperor and bowing down when seeing the prince. Treating colleagues and lords is just normal. gift of greeting.

If you want Zhang Yanjin to say that the biggest benefit of this promotion is not the rights, but that the luggage will save a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty Zhang is very polite. The visitor is a guest. Please sit down, Your Excellency."

King Wei gestured to Zhang Yanjin, pointing his palm at the position opposite him.

Zhang Yanjin really wanted to see what kind of medicine this King Wei was selling, so she stepped forward and sat down without refusing.

"Your Majesty Zhang came here uninvited, don't you know why?" King Wei asked while pouring tea for Zhang Yanjin.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang Yanjin felt even more puzzled when she saw that King Wei dismissed all the people who had served him and poured tea for herself.

"I heard that the prince seemed to like the food in the restaurant a few days ago. I don't know if it suits the prince."

Zhang Yanjin asked directly.

"Master Zhang is here to collect debts. Look at my memory, I was misled by the delicious food and wine, so I will send the money back later." King Wei handed the teacup to Zhang Yanjin's hand.

There was something under the teacup, Zhang Yanjin took it with both hands, and looked at King Wei calmly.

"Master Zhang, please don't complain to your father, I will definitely send the money back to the restaurant for you."

King Wei said this in a loud voice, which seemed to be done on purpose.

Zhang Yanjin smiled and said: "Where do you dare to trouble the lord, but this restaurant released a new medicinal wine today, the lord wants to drink it later, so I'll have someone deliver it to my door.

There was no one outside the pavilion, but many people in the garden passed away, and those maids who retreated didn't seem to have gone far.

Could it be that King Wei was imprisoned?

Impossible, King Wei went back to the palace every day to pay his respects, if he was imprisoned and dozed off to ask the emperor for help, why bother to lure him to him.Besides, I am not familiar with King Wei, even if King Wei wanted someone to help, it would definitely not be me.

"Come on, call the manager over here." King Wei shouted to the garden, and a maid came out to answer after a while.

Zhang Yanjin is a master who refuses to suffer, and actually dares to blatantly seek a prince to settle accounts.Father Huang is right, Zhang Yanjin has a true temperament and is also a money fanatic.

"Thank you, my lord." Although Zhang Yanjin carried the account book given by Li Ying with her, she was just afraid that King Wei would play tricks, and it seemed that she would not need it now.

He took the bank note handed over by King Wei, and put it in his arms without looking at it.

The thickness of the bank note, even if it is only one hundred pieces, is probably thousands of taels, and it will not lose the restaurant's operation.

Zhang Yanjin stayed in Prince Wei's mansion for almost an hour, during which King Wei didn't mention anything, but kept pouring tea for Zhang Yanjin, the enthusiasm made Zhang Yanjin feel weird all over.

Fortunately, he had already ordered Ruifu to go in and call him if he hadn't come out for an hour.

Before Zhang Yanjin's carriage arrived at Zhang's residence, he was met by the Yamen servants who interrogated him on the street.

"My lord, I'll go and ask what's going on." Ruifu got out of the carriage and greeted the yamen servant.

"My lord, in front of us is the carriage of our Minister of Rites, Zhang Yanjin, and Mr. Zhang. Why are you here to check the post?"

The road ahead is the only way to Ningguo Duke's Mansion and Zhang Mansion. If you don't show your identity, you may have to wait for the government to check one by one. There are not a few carriages blocked next to it.

"You wait." The yamen servant did not go up to check directly, but informed a person who looked like a leader.

Zhang Yanjin waited in the carriage for a while, then heard a familiar voice.

"Master Zhang?"

Zhang Yanjin opened the curtain, and saw Ting Wei Han Wei whom he had just met a while ago.

Recently, have I been guilty of Tingwei? Why did I meet again.

"Master Han, I don't know what happened ahead?" Zhang Yanjin looked at the guards at the city gate not far away, and there were many carriages parked on the road he was on.

This main road is where people gather in the capital. Thinking of this, Zhang Yanjin said again: "Master Han, there are a lot of people here, if there is a stampede, it will definitely cause casualties."

"Your Excellency, please get off the carriage. The road ahead is also blocked. Our Tingwei Mansion is only here to assist the city guards. We can't make the decision." Han Wei naturally knew that the yamen's behavior would cause panic among the people. But in the current situation, they can only try their best to appease and clear the crowd to avoid stampede casualties.

"What happened?".

"King Zhao was assassinated in the palace and escaped from the palace at this moment. The emperor is trying his best to order people to search for it."

Originally, this matter was a secret in the palace and should not be leaked out, but this Lord Shangshu is an official of the imperial court and does not belong to outsiders.

"What!" Zhang Yanjin couldn't believe it, but Han Wei's expression showed that it was the case.

"Your Excellency, you should go back to the mansion as soon as possible. The assassin has not been found yet, so your Excellency should be more careful." The Emperor secretly told him that Zhang Yanjin is a trustworthy person. If not, Han Weishi would not have wasted so much time on Zhang Yanjin.

When he didn't explain it to Zhang Yanjin, Zhao Wang blocked the arrow at this moment to save the emperor. Although there was no danger of his life, it was indeed a slap in the face of the Wei royal family. How could the emperor not get angry.

"Thank you, Mr. Han." Zhang Yanjin and Ruifu had no choice but to abandon the carriage and go back to Zhang's mansion through the crowd.

It seems that King Wei came to him today because he wanted to testify for him, whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate design.

Zhang Yanjin took out the note given by King Wei, and he opened it on the carriage to see that it was blank.

The assassin was finally found by Han Wei's men, but he was shot into a brush by the city guards, leaving no one alive.

"My lord, the emperor calls you into the palace." Ruifu shouted outside the study.

"I'll be right here, prepare the horse." Zhang Yanjin put down the white note in his hand.

The emperor called him into the palace at this time, could it be that the assassin has already been caught?

Zhang Yanjin hurried on, and indeed all the government servants along the way were gone.

When Zhang Yanjin arrived at the imperial study, King Wei and King Jin were also there, as well as Han Wei.

"Zhang Qing, you went to Prince Wei's mansion this morning," the emperor asked.

There were no traces on these assassins. At first, the emperor thought it was done by the Huns, but in the end it was found that the assassins were from the Great Wei. Why did the emperor not suspect the princes.

After listening to the emperor's question, Zhang Yanjin explained in detail the reason and time for her going to Prince Wei's residence.

The king of Wei really came to use himself as a shield, but if the prince was assassinating, there would be no proof of his presence there, as long as he gave an order, someone would naturally do things for them.

Could it be that the emperor did this to frighten the princes.

Zhao Wang's arm was bandaged, unlike Jin Wang and Wei Wang, he was sitting.The emperor was sympathetic to his injury and originally asked him to go back to the mansion to rest, but Zhao Wang said he was worried and insisted on staying.

This Zhao Wang made great contributions, the emperor would naturally agree to this small request, so he ordered someone to move a chair to him.

Zhao Wang was very smart today, he knew how to pretend to be pitiful in front of the emperor, but if his eyes were not so arrogant, it would be more effective.

Zhang Yanjin was listening to the emperor's instructions to the two princes, which were nothing more than asking brothers to be of one mind.

Zhang Yanjin spent almost an hour in the imperial study before coming out of the palace.

Could it be that the emperor asked him to come over to verify the truth of what King Wei said, which surprised Zhang Yanjin. Although King Wei usually fights for power in the court, the same is true for King Jin and King Zhao. The king is so strict.

Could it be the deep responsibility of love?Zhang Yanjin thought randomly in her mind.

No, it should be the marriage between Princess Yuyang and Zhou Qihui that made the emperor afraid of King Wei, but why did the emperor agree to the marriage?

What is the key point of it.

What Zhang Yanjin didn't know was that Zhou Qin showed his loyalty to the emperor by returning the salt lead, and also promised the emperor by promising the child's marriage. Even if Emperor Zhou Qin couldn't trust their Ruiguo government, at least he believed it with his own daughter.

But since the prince's sudden death, the emperor no longer has the previous trust in the people and things in the palace, even if it is his queen and concubine, his princess and prince, the emperor can't believe it [-]%.

The reason why the emperor agreed to the marriage was because of bedside talk, coupled with Zhou Qin's high price, he agreed to Yuyang and Zhou Qihui's marriage.

The emperor has naturally heard all about Zhou Qihui's personality. If Zhou Qiye were replaced, the emperor would definitely not agree.

Although the princess can't marry lowly, she can't marry someone with power and talent in the court. For the stability of Wei, the princess can only marry someone who has no political talent.

This is the result of fate.

Princess Yuyang naturally knew this, so she chose Zhou Qihui as a springboard.

When General Zhao came back from outside, he saw Zhang Yanjin waiting for him in the hall.

"My lord, the situation at the border is a bit tense recently. I just went to the general's residence." General Zhao said, although Zhang Yanjin is not his boss, but since he was sent by the general to help your lord, he will definitely explain his whereabouts clearly.

"General Zhao, do you have any secret letters in your army? It's like a piece of white paper where you can't see anything, but after special processing, you can see the words." Zhang Yanjin asked.

"Yes, we call that invisible ink." Xiao Liu said.

"Do you have it here now, can you give me some?" Sure enough, there is such a thing, Zhang Yanjin thought, and sure enough what was said in the story book is not all false.

"It's only available at the border documents. It's used to convey important military information. It may take some time for someone to deliver it." General Zhao didn't expect Zhang Yanjin to be interested in that invisible ink, which smells so good , no one will carry it with them.

"Okay, it's okay, then ask General Zhao for help." Zhang Yanjin said.

Today, King Wei obviously set up a trick to invite him to come over. As for the blank paper, Zhang Yanjin was just playing it safe.

On the second day, all the ministers heard the news of the emperor's assassination, and they all cried out in turn. Zhang Yanjin listened to the innocuous words and bowed his head in silence. If these afterthoughts were useful, what would the guards do?

"The assassin has been caught. King Zhao was seriously injured to save me. He is really filial. Although King Zhao has a sincere temperament, his character is rare. From today on, King Zhao will listen to politics from the sidelines."

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers who were originally mourning marquises suddenly felt like they had been beaten with blood. Only the crown prince had the right to listen to the government before. Could it be that the emperor wanted to make King Zhao the heir apparent.

"Your majesty is wise." Some ministers, who were ruthless, said immediately.

If the emperor really wanted to make King Zhao the crown prince, he would not push King Zhao to the front at this time.

Zhang Yanjin thought in his heart that although King Zhao had saved the emperor and won this honor, people who were deceived by power might think that King Zhao was the next prince, but in Zhang Yanjin's view, King Zhao might not be used by the emperor as a shield.

Although Zhang Yanjin's guess was not entirely accurate, it was pretty close.

The emperor had doubts about Zhao Wang in his heart. When the assassin came that day, Zhao Wang had just arrived at the palace, and he appeared in front of the emperor exactly. That day, the emperor was not on the way to the imperial study, but Go to the garden of the harem.

Zhao Wang knew his whereabouts so well, which made the emperor so unprepared.

In the emperor's heart, although King Zhao is the stupidest one, if someone is behind the scenes, the emperor has no choice but to call all the extremely princes to verify.

"Your Majesty, since King Zhao is injured, he should take a good rest. If he is overworked because of the government, it is really unreasonable." Duke Yan stepped forward and said.

If the reckless man Zhao Wang was allowed to become the crown prince, wouldn't it be the end of the Great Wei.Although Yan Guogong did not indicate which prince he supported in the court, he looked down on King Zhao from the bottom of his heart.

The emperor looked at Yan Guogong with a confused expression, and said after a long time: "Then let's wait until King Zhao recovers from his injury before discussing it."

The emperor's move made the ministers a little confused. Is this King Zhao gaining power or losing power?

Why did the Duke of Yan change the emperor's mind with a word of salvation? All the ministers secretly put a lot of eyes on Duke Yan.

"Humph."

Gongsun Wuji, Gongsun Wuji of the State of Yan, looked down on those ministers who followed suit the most, so naturally he would not have a good face.

This is interesting, Zhao Wang has such a stubborn opponent in the court, I am afraid that he will not get any benefits, Zhang Yanjin thought of Zhao Wang's actions, this person is indeed not like everyone else.

Regardless of what the emperor planned, the king of Zhao was probably going to be cold before he warmed up.

The singing and dancing in King Zhao's mansion continued as usual, and the fragrance of fine wine was still wafting. The emperor spared King Zhao from paying his respects, which made King Zhao very happy.

The "Prince" Zhao Wang's mansion also raised a lot of followers, so it is impossible for him to be able to have a safe and sound place in the court because he has no advantages.

Although there are people with lofty ideals in the disciples, King Zhao is really reckless.

There is a saying that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. It refers to people like Zhao Wang.

The doorman told Zhao Wang what happened in the morning court one by one, hoping that Zhao Wang could understand the status and situation of Zhao Wangfu.

Although they have no worries about eating and drinking with King Zhao, if the world changes hands in the future and King Zhao still can't figure it out, they probably won't end well.

"What? You Gongsun Wuji!" The wine glass in King Zhao's hand shattered.

Seeing this, the maids retreated automatically. Whenever King Zhao got angry, the people in the mansion would automatically avoid them, lest King Zhao vent his anger on them.

"My lord, now that the emperor has taken a fancy to you, you are afraid that you still have to go to the palace to pay your respects every day, and remind the emperor why you suffered the injury on your hand." The doorman suggested.

"Got it, got it." Zhao Wang said impatiently, he naturally knew the ability of this doorman, if it wasn't for his idea before, the father might not be able to see him, now naturally he wants to let the father see him more .

"That's lucky, my lord."

This King Zhao is a bit good, but he can still distinguish things that are good for him.

"When do you think my injury will heal? Since my father said that I should go to listen to the government, I can't go against the old man Gongsun's wish."

King Zhao said in a low voice.

"It will be healed in about a month. The emperor rewarded you with the best gold-chuang medicine and the diagnosis and treatment of the doctor in the government. The injury will heal sooner than usual."

The author has something to say: procrastination, hey
