Li Zhang

That day, Zhiqing didn't dare to be negligent any longer, remembering the old things in Muyi Mountain, she went to the mountain to pick fresh mushrooms, and stewed a pot of chicken soup with various kinds of dried mushrooms and pheasants.Sima Yi slept for a while, and he really followed the scent, but he was more interested in the Poria cocos and chestnut porridge that Li Zhang was eating, so he asked Zhiqing to fill a bowl for himself.

Li Zhang had just finished moxibustion, and was lazily sitting on the head of the bed. Seeing Sima Yi like this, he let go of his uneasiness.He kept thinking about the previous accident, and while considering Sima Yi's true intentions, he was also quite ashamed of himself for being cautious.Although he kept telling himself and others to let go of the past, the past was like a sore on the surface that was still festering and fermenting inside, and gradually turned into a huge wound that even he dared not touch, but in fact it never healed at all.

After thinking about this, Li Zhang seemed very disturbed, wanted to solve it but was afraid of being touched, he struggled and tossed alone, until he saw Sima Yi come in nonchalantly, pointing to his bowl and begging for porridge from Zhiqing.

"What kind of porridge is this? It's so bland!" Sima Yi drank half a bowl in one go before complaining critically, smacking his lips.

Li Zhang looked at him helplessly: "This is my medicinal porridge, so it can't be too sweet."

Sima Yi stopped his movements and looked at Li Zhang hesitantly from the side.

Li Zhang knew his thoughts, got up and put down the empty bowl, looked down at the table and said softly: "I really can't forget those. I... understand the emperor's thoughts, but dare not admit it. Every time I want to accept it, my heart hurts. No... I am not a tolerant person."

Sima Yi held his breath, thinking about his struggle, his helplessly cooled heart warmed up again.He didn't dare to move or make a sound, but just stared at Li Zhang's back enthusiastically, sweating from his nervous hands.

Li Zhang stood quietly with his head down, settling his messy thoughts, tearing the hard scabs in his heart, forcing himself to face the scars.

"Distrust of the emperor has long been used as an instinct. No matter how the emperor disapproves, there is always a gap between you and me that cannot be bridged, filled with past grievances, and it is difficult to eliminate. I don't know if I should forget it, let alone How can I forget..."

The more Li Zhang spoke, the more depressed he became, while the more Sima Yi listened, the more nervous he became. He was hesitating whether to say something, when Li Zhang suddenly turned to face him and said, "Why is your majesty so persistent?!"

He stared angrily at Sima Yi, but in his heart he hated himself too.

Sima Yi was full of anxiety, and under Li Zhang's stubborn gaze, he sighed and said, "I just can't bear it! In the past, I couldn't bear to let go, which made you hate me. But now I can't bear to let go of your talent. You, don't you want to accept it?"

He spoke extremely carefully, for fear of unconsciously touching his sore spot again, but there was undisguised eagerness in his eyes.

Li Zhang trembled imperceptibly, tried his best to restrain the two conflicting emotions, and tried to calm his voice: "I have made a promise. Besides, there are Lord Jin and General Mu in the court, and General Su and General Heping in the northern border. No need for Li Zhang..."

"Please be Jun'er's teacher!"

Sima Yi did not wait for Li Zhang to finish speaking, and once again solemnly invited him, and he was meticulous in his hands.

Li Zhang suddenly stopped breathing.

"Gu hope, Jun'er can do better than Gu!"

Li Zhang lowered his eyes: "The emperor is already a generation of Mingjun."

"But I have regrets after all!"

Li Zhang finally stopped evading and raised his eyes to look directly at Sima Yi: "Is the emperor really sincere?"

"Yes! Gu has sworn to his mother, you, can't you believe it?"

"Li Zhang is guilty!"

"I don't blame you! If you say you can't forget it, then remember it! I will remember it too, and use this as a lesson! We, starting today, start a new life. Are you willing?"

Li Zhang looked at Sima Yi for a long time, still having doubts in his heart, but finally nodded his head: "Li Zhang is willing to give it a try!"

Sima Yi finally felt relieved.He couldn't hold back his joy any longer, and laughed out loud.

Jin Bai Zhiqing heard the movement and came over to take a closer look, and saw Sima Yi with his hips on his hips and his head up, laughing unceasingly, and Li Zhang's lightly pursed lips also contained a faint smile!

In the middle of the summer of the sixth year of Jianping, Sima Yi and Sima Jun went to Mount Mang to pay homage to his master.Sima Jun was full of curiosity, and asked questions all the way, but Sima Yi didn't answer at all, as long as he respected his master's dedication to learning, he couldn't make his master angry, so he pushed Sima Jun's curiosity to the highest level.

Li Zhangchang stood outside the mountain gate, Zhiqing stood beside him, saw the figure gradually clear from a distance, and just knelt down to greet him——Although it was a simple line, Sima Yi was still followed by a team of imperial guards, and the one who was in the lead was even more General Mu Yan.

At that time, Zhiqing was three months pregnant, the nausea was very serious, Li Zhang originally wanted her to stay in the house, but she remembered the lesson from last time and insisted on going out.

Sima Yi approached and helped Li Zhang up with his own hands, took a little extra look at Zhiqing, and said no courtesy.Sima Jun stood behind his father, and looked critically at Li Zhang up and down. He saw that he was thin and handsome, and looked very weak and quiet. Not being an ordinary guard, I couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.

He looks very similar to Sima Yi, except that the gloomy and indifferent young Sima Yi is missing in his eyebrows and eyes, which makes him look quite open and natural.He had heard rumors about Li Zhang a long time ago, but he was still vague. No one dared to tell him in detail, including his mother.The child was very playful, and he didn't have much time to pursue the rumors that were chasing after rumors. Since the palace was forbidden to talk about it, he quickly put it down.When it turned into a disaster, the situation was very tense for a time. He also heard a lot of rumors in the harem, and asked Mu Yan with Mu Qingshi. Let the two children feel the seriousness of the problem.

Mu Qingshi saw his family members being kidnapped with his own eyes back then, and he had already remembered the blood feud at a young age, so he was more concerned about the progress of the war than others.For Mu Qingshi's sake, Sima Jun often secretly hid in a corner of the imperial study, and gave Mu Qingshi the arguments and theories he heard. After many times, he remembered the name Li Zhang again, and became more and more curious about him.

"Are you Li Zhang who commanded the Dingnan Dingbei Army to defeat Chengxuan?" Sima Jun opened his eyes wide and asked each other as soon as he had time to stay, his face was full of doubt and disbelief.

"It's rude to rest!"

"Next is Li Zhang, did you disappoint His Highness?" Li Zhang looked down at Sima Jun, his eyes were calm and his voice was soft, but there was a kind of fearless self-confidence in the action of bowing and saluting.

Sima Jun was about to restrain himself after being reprimanded by his father. Seeing Li Zhang so curious, he became curious again: "I heard that you are General Mu's apprentice? Why doesn't General Mu want you anymore?"

"Jun'er!"

Sima Yi scolded sharply, but Li Zhang remained calm: "I am indeed General Mu's apprentice, so why don't I go and meet my master first?"

As Li Zhang spoke, he bowed to Sima Yi and his son and confessed his guilt, and walked towards Mu Yan who was waiting at the side and refused to approach.

"Li Zhang met General Mu!"

Li Zhang bowed his head solemnly on his knees. Although he did not say he was a master and apprentice, his etiquette was unambiguous. Coupled with the few words he heard along the wind, Mu Yan's dark complexion finally cleared up a little.

"Get up! The emperor entrusts His Royal Highness to you, which means he has great trust in you! You should be careful and do everything carefully, and you must not let His Highness have any accidents, and you must not be as arrogant as before!"

Li Zhang lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips, and waited for Mu Yan to finish speaking before responding: "Li Zhang remembers the general's lesson!"

Mu Yan looked deeply at the apprentice in front of him, some words rushed to his mouth, but he still couldn't say them.

Then everyone followed Li Zhang into the West Valley Courtyard, Sima Jun and his accompanying guards were placed in the West Courtyard, and the servants and maidservants selected by Jin Bai knelt neatly in the courtyard to welcome them.

Sima Jun was originally unwilling to leave Mu Qingshi, but this trip made him a novelty who had never left the palace. At this time, he saw that the residence was neat and unique, and his master Li Zhang seemed to have many stories, so he looked forward to the future school career.

After Sima Yi entered the other courtyard, he stopped putting on airs and walked towards the south courtyard familiarly. As soon as he reached the courtyard gate, he almost bumped into a woman rushing out. Another person ran out from the courtyard, seeing him in a daze, he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Ping Anle pays homage to the Emperor!"

"...Is it you? Why are you here? Pingdu asked you to come?"

"The villain's mother is from Sizhou. She has been away from home for many years. She misses her relatives every night and sheds tears. Thanks to the travel expenses donated by Mr. Li, Ping An Le Fang has to take her mother back to her hometown to visit her relatives. Who would have thought that my mother has been away from home for too long, and when she arrives... There is nowhere to look for relatives, so in desperation, I came to seek refuge with Master Li."

After hearing this, Sima Yi looked back at Li Zhang, slandering inwardly, but with a half-smile on his face, he said: "Duke Wei is really generous! If that's the case, you can keep it!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Zhang stopped in dissatisfaction.

Sima Yi looked back at Zhi Qing, who was looking down, and shook his head at Li Zhang: "Although you use your troops to form an army, it is like a god's help, but when you meet a woman and give birth, you will be blind! This Ping'an Le is well known and used, his mother always It’s better than being invited back temporarily. It’s better for women to worry about women’s affairs!”

Li Zhang was stunned when he heard the words, and gritted his teeth secretly again thinking of Jin Bai.

Sima Yi continued as if he didn't notice: "I heard that Jin Bai actually invited out his well-protected wife. Is her situation so bad?"

Li Zhang hesitated before replying: "She lost a lot of blood at the beginning, and she was mentally disturbed during the illness, so now she has severe nausea and often can't eat. She only survives on rice soup and medicinal juice..."

Sima Yi suddenly turned around: "Madam Jin also has no cure?"

"Without Madam's unique secret recipe, my wife would not be able to get up today!"

Sima Yi heard the dissatisfaction in Li Zhang's words, and couldn't help but turn around and choke him: "It's not that you are stubborn! If you had healed your injuries well, why would she bother?!"

Li Zhang was immediately blocked and couldn't say a word, Zhiqing was anxious to argue, but Li Zhang secretly stopped him.

Sima Yi looked at the expressions of the two of them with satisfaction, and said in an insatiable way: "You have to change your own thinking first, and then you will cause all these things. You are really to blame!"

He finally uttered the words that had been in his heart for a long time, and suddenly felt extremely happy. He looked down and saw Ping'an Le and his mother were still kneeling on the ground, and he was in a good mood to avoid their salute: "Get up! Bai Ding. You have done meritorious deeds in rebelling against us before, so I will enlist you as a secretary to join the army and take care of the family's affairs for him!"

Ping An Le was overjoyed, kowtowed on his knees to thank her, and saw that her mother was still in shock, and pulled her to kowtow again.

Li Zhang glared at Sima Yi angrily, feeling repentant at the moment, but he couldn't say it out, and finally had to say coldly: "Your Majesty even took care of Li Zhang's family affairs?"

Sima Yi smiled a little rascally: "Since you promised to accept Jun'er, Gu will naturally have something in return. Gu Zheng was worried about how to make your life a decent one, but they happened to come and borrowed your light. What is it if it’s not God’s will?”

Li Zhang was not good at eloquence, and he was even more speechless about it. Seeing that Zhiqing was vomiting again, he skipped over Sima Yi to help Zhiqing and went back to the house first.Ping Po wanted to follow but didn't dare to move, so she quietly tugged Ping An Le's clothes, Ping An Le immediately bowed again: "Madam is not well, please let the villain's mother go and take care of her!"

Sima Yi had achieved his goal, he only waved his hand when he heard the words, and went into the main room by himself, Ping Anle hurriedly brought the prepared refreshments to the emperor to relieve his fatigue.
