Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 431 The dead friend is not dead

No one who works in the palace is stupid, or in other words, everyone has already become a human being. Shan Wenzhong spent 40 years, step by step, from a small eunuch to a deputy chief executive. He is smarter than anyone else. , understands the heart of an emperor better than anyone else.

There are so many eunuchs in the imperial study, but the officials summoned themselves from the harem to deliver a letter to Zhang Yaozuo. It is strange that there is no deep meaning in it.

What's more, what was sent was not a letter, but a memorial, and there was no seal or anything. Sitting in the carriage, Shan Wenzhong opened the memorial. He read it slowly, his eyes suddenly widened, and immediately shouted: "The carriage stops!"

The attendants outside the car were all stunned. After a while, an eunuch cautiously asked, "Is the manager okay?"

Shan Wenzhong wandered around, he finally understood why the officials sent him to deliver the letter, it was for Zhang Yaozuo to save himself!

Shan Wenzhong is a man of doing things, Zhang Yaozuo can help himself, but he can't participate, he doesn't know anything, the only way is to send a letter to Zhang Yaozuo first, let him think of a reason to deal with the crisis.

Thinking of this, he immediately beckoned a confidant eunuch to come to the car window, and whispered to him: "You rush to Zhang Taishi's residence immediately, you tell him"

The confidant galloped away on horseback, but Shan Wenzhong turned and took another road, slowly detoured to Zhang Yaozuo's mansion.

'boom! 'A Dingyao teacup was smashed to pieces, tiles were scattered everywhere, and there was silence in the study.

Zhang Yaozuo gritted his teeth in the study with a livid face and said, "Idiot! Not enough success, more than failure!"

At this moment, Zhang Yaozuo hated Zhu Yuanjun who ruined his big business, and he was stabbed in front of the emperor before this thing was done, what a jerk this person must be.

Zhang Yaozuo was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, what should we do?Shan Wenzhong is coming soon, but he can't think of a reason to explain it. He has to deal with the matter before Shan Wenzhong arrives. It is impossible to expect Shan Wenzhong to hide it for him.

He sent someone to tell himself in advance, which means that he has no intention of hiding it for himself.

At this time, Zhang Yaozuo's thoughts suddenly moved, he thought of a way, he was Zhu Yuanjun's man who engaged in Ruizhao, so what did he have to do with him?

Zhang Yaozuo never thought about whether doing so would chill other people's hearts?

In the words of later generations, it is called a dead fellow who never dies, and this is his philosophy of life.

Shan Wenzhong finally arrived at Zhang Yaozuo's mansion, Zhang Yaozuo's grandson Zhang Chun was waiting at the door.

When Shan Wenzhong came out of the carriage, Zhang Chun came up to greet him and said, "Mr. Shan, long time no see."

Although Shan Wenzhong has great power in the palace, in the eyes of the master, he is still a slave. Zhang Chun is the nephew of Concubine Zhang Gui. .

Shan Wenzhong saw the looming contempt in Zhang Chun's eyes, he was annoyed for a while, and asked with a smile on his face, "Little official, is your grandfather here?"

Zhang Chun sighed, "Grandpa fell ill!"

Shan Wenzhong knew very well that Zhang Yaozuo wanted to pretend to be sick to clear himself up, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "When did your grandfather fall ill?"

"Grandpa was overly sad and had been sick for four or five days, and now his condition is getting worse."

"Then did you ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment?"

This is a loophole. Since you have been ill for four or five days, why didn't you ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment?Shan Wenzhong was actually reminding Zhang Chun to plug this loophole.

Zhang Chun said hastily: "Grandfather didn't want the officials to know that he was sick, and he was afraid of causing trouble to the officials, so he didn't alert the imperial doctor, but asked the famous doctors in the city to diagnose and treat him."

"I see, then I want to visit your grandfather."

"Sir, please follow me."

Shan Wenzhong followed Zhang Chun to the ward, and a strong smell of medicine came to his nostrils. In the room, Zhang Yaozuo was lying on the bed, his head was wrapped in a towel, his face was sallow, like the face of a dead man, his eyes were closed, and he didn't hear Shan Wenzhong at all. The sound of footsteps coming in.

Zhang Chun stepped forward and whispered in Zhang Yaozuo's ear, "Grandfather, Manager Shan has seen you coming."

After a while, Zhang Yaozuo opened his eyes slightly. Seeing that it was Shan Wenzhong, he struggled to sit up. Shan Wenzhong hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, "Teacher, it's important to take care of yourself!"

Zhang Yaozuo said in a hoarse voice: "A white-haired person gives a black-haired person, and there is nothing more sorrowful in the world than this."

"Grand Master, please mourn."

Zhang Yaozuo sighed, "Is there something wrong with Director Shan?"

"There are a few things. First, His Majesty asked me to visit the Grand Master. In addition, there is a small matter that needs to be clarified with the Grand Master."

"what's up?"

Shan Wenzhong said slowly: "Does Grand Master Zhang know about the Jiangji Stone Carvings Museum?"

Zhang Yaozuo shook his head, he really didn't know the Jiangji Stone Carvings Museum, but he knew what it was.

"Is the Grand Master Zhang planning to do anything for King Langya recently?"

Zhang Yaozuo still shook his head, "The imperial concubine has not yet entered the earth, how can I have other thoughts?"

Shan Wenzhong nodded, and put Han Qi's memorial on the small table.

"I understand. Please rest assured that the grand master will recuperate and recover as soon as possible. I will leave first!"

"Thank you for coming to visit!"

Zhang Yaozuo glanced at his grandson vaguely, Zhang Chun understood, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shan, please!"

When Shan Wenzhong left, Zhang Yaozuo turned over and sat up suddenly, grabbed the memorial on the table, and read it carefully. As expected, Zhu Yuanjun's every move fell into the eyes of the other party.

Zhang Yaozuo gritted his teeth secretly, and said to himself: "You are stupid, so don't blame me for not protecting you!"

Zhang Chun kept sending Shan Wenzhong to the carriage. At this time, he took out a paper bag from the leather bag, put it on the seat, and then closed the door, and the carriage started to drive away.

Zhang Yaochen's mansion was already out of sight, and Shan Wenzhong glanced at the paper bag. He opened the paper bag, and inside was a thick stack of handovers, each with a hundred guan and a large amount, a total of one hundred.

Shan Wenzhong laughed with satisfaction, yes, Zhang Yaozuo can still be a man.

"Master Zhang is sick?" Zhao Zhen stared at Shan Wenzhong sharply.

Shan Wenzhong looked very calm, the officials asked him to deliver the memorial to Zhang Yaozuo, didn't they just want to get the news?
He calmly said: "The noble concubine passed away, Grand Master Zhang was overly sad and had been ill for five days. He didn't want to trouble His Majesty, so he didn't disturb His Majesty."

"What about the memorial?"

"Your Majesty, Grand Master Zhang said that the imperial concubine has not yet entered the earth, so how can he have other thoughts? He knows nothing about it."

These words made the corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth twitch, and his heart burst into flames. He also knew that the imperial concubine had not yet been buried.

Zhao Zhen restrained the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked: "So Zhu Yuanjun did this on his own initiative?"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanjun is a flatterer. He wants to please the Grand Master. It's normal to do this."

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "I know, you step back!"

"Old slave quit!"

Shan Wenzhong retreated, Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Retreat too!"

Several other eunuchs also retreated one after another, leaving only Zhao Zhen in the imperial study.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the peach tree outside the window. He also knew that he should have a crown prince. He was over fifty, and it was impossible for him to have a son, so he could only choose one of his adopted sons as his heir.

But whether to establish Zhao Zongshi or Zhao Wenyun, he really couldn't make up his mind.

From his original intention, he is willing to establish Zhao Wenyun. Perhaps it is because Zhao Wenyun is the adopted son of Concubine Zhang Guifei. Zhao Zhen stayed with him for a long time. After a long time, the feelings will be formed. Zhao Zhen already has a father-son relationship with Zhao Wenyun. Affection.

On the contrary, Zhao Zhen's affection for Zhao Zhongshi was very indifferent, just like his indifference to Empress Cao, and he never regarded him as his son.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Zhao Zhongshi out of the palace at the beginning. In fact, he had cut off the possibility of making Zhao Zhongshi the crown prince. After being cold for more than ten years, how could he have any feelings for Zhao Zhongshi? Zhao only.

But the reality tells him that Zhao Zongshi is the orthodox, he is the son of Empress Cao, which is very important. The military headed by the family supported Zhao Zongshi.

This is the most important thing for Zhao Zhen. Han Qi, Fu Bi and others, he can change his appearance, but what should he do with the military? Who would dare to easily offend the military? This is what he has been doing all these years. The fundamental reason for the delay in establishing a crown prince.

He wanted to make Concubine Zhang the queen, so that if there were two queens in one dynasty, he still wanted to promote Zhao Wenyun as orthodox, and the dispute between orthodox and orthodox could at least silence most people.

The death of Concubine Zhang made Zhao Zhen extremely sad. He really wanted to fulfill the last wish of Concubine Zhang and make Zhao Wenyun the crown prince.

But today's auspicious incident made Zhao Zhen hesitate again. Is he really at ease in handing over the country to Zhang Yaozuo, Jia Changchao and others?

For a moment, Zhao Zhen's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time.

In the afternoon of the same day, a decree came out from Ouchi to remove Song Xiangzhi from political affairs, make Wuning Army Jiedu envoy, sentence Bozhou affairs, demote Baowenge scholar Zhu Yuanjun to common people for the crime of false remarks, and deprive him of all official positions.
