Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 312 Zhang Twelve got into trouble again?
King Xiang left quietly, leaving only a jade tablet behind!
Zhang Twelve was playing with the jade card engraved with "Xiang" in his hand, thinking about what King Xiang said just now: With this card, you can freely enter and leave King Xiang's mansion, and if you encounter an emergency, you can show this card. King Xiang...

Stuffing this treasure into his clothes, Zhang Twelve thought that he now had two amulets, but the gold medal from Emperor Tang was for him to open a restaurant. Now that the restaurant is on the right track, he probably will take it back soon. went……

At that time, this amulet will be left on his body, so he should keep it well, it may be of great use in the future!

Putting the jade card away, he heard the sound of someone going up the stairs outside the door. Zhang Twelve looked at the sky and guessed that it was Lu Fujing and Qin Yutong who had returned, so he happily went to open the door.

It was Lu Fujing and Qin Yutong standing outside the room. After entering the room, Qin Yutong asked with some doubts, "Why is Zhouquan standing at the counter? Where's the shopkeeper Zhu?"

"He, I opened him!"

So, Zhang Twelve told what happened this morning. Although Qin Yutong was a little surprised, she still agreed with Zhang Twelve's decision. After all, she didn't have a good impression of Shopkeeper Zhu, so it was inevitable that she would blame him. , it's just a matter of time, Zhang Twelve did it in advance, so she doesn't have to worry about it!

It's just that Lu Fujing, who was next to him, heard Zhang Twelve finished speaking, and asked worriedly, "You're going to blackmail the crown prince, are you going to be okay?"

What Zhang Twelve did can be regarded as refreshing Lu Fujing's cognition. Is this the same person who was kicked by him and kept silent?Even the high-ranking prince suffered a secret loss under his hands, which is unbelievable!

Zhang Twelve was a little complacent, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Where is it blackmail? It is obviously a business, okay? Besides, I had a very happy conversation with the prince. This business is in a peaceful atmosphere. It's over, the prince said before leaving that he would come again next time!"

To be honest, when it comes to bragging, Zhang Twelve has never been afraid of anyone!
After hearing this, Lu Fujing exchanged a glance with Qin Yutong, rolled her eyes at him in unison, said "cut" again, and then walked away...

Zhang Twelve was sad for a while, now he can't even scare women anymore, but what to do...

…………

In the middle of the night, the entire Jingzhou gradually began to be shrouded in darkness and silence, and most of the lights in Jingzhou city were extinguished, only rows of guards patrolling with lanterns passing by occasionally.

At this time, in the depths of the palace, there were still lights flickering in the imperial study room, and the sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time.

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the imperial study room. If Zhang Twelve was here, he would have stared at the scene with wide eyes, because this person who flew over from a distance was Wu De!

Wu De glanced at the guard who was dozing off outside the door of the imperial study room, coughed lightly, and the two of them woke up immediately. When they saw the figure standing in front of them, their faces turned pale immediately. Just as they were about to salute, Wu De waved his hand , gently pushed open the door of the imperial study, and the figure floated in.

The moment he floated in, the old man in the corner suddenly opened his eyes. After realizing that it was Wu De, the cold eyes became softer, and with a little relief, he closed his eyes again... …

In the imperial study room, Emperor Tang was leaning over the innermost table to review the memorial. When he looked up and saw Wu De, his face remained normal, he put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his wrist, and said with a helpless smile:
"This Zhang Twelve, I really don't want to worry about it! The restaurant he told me before is Yang Zexin's Wenxianglai! Not only did he buy his restaurant, but he also paid a lot of money! Not only Besides, he beat Luo Zhiyuan's only son Luo Xingjian a few days ago, and after the beating, he asked someone for 5000 taels of silver! Look, the memorials have all been sent to me!"

After saying this, Emperor Tang seemed to have thought of something coke again, laughed a few times and said: "What I told Yilan is really not bad at all, this Zhang Twelve is good in everything, he is just greedy for money! Then Yang Zexin told Yilan It was unlucky for Luo Xingjian to meet him, he dared to ask me for a reward, let alone other people, haha..."

Wu De also laughed twice and said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to punish County Uncle Zhang, does he?"

Because the Tang emperor had already bestowed Zhang Twelve with the title of county uncle. In the Tang Dynasty, titles were bestowed by the emperor, so they were much more noble than ordinary official positions. That's why Wu De changed Zhang Twelve's title to "Zhang County uncle." , not the original General Zhang.

"Oh, I won't punish him! The restaurant is also mine, and the money he saved was also saved for me. It's too late for me to praise him. How could I be willing to punish him?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Tang stood up again, with a stern look in his eyes, and said: "As for that Luo Xingjian, he should have been beaten long ago! I really don't know if I don't know about occupying the former residence of the Mao University scholar? I really don't know that he is rampant in Jingzhou city." Can't everyone see it? The Luo family has this son, so why worry about it? Zhang Twelve's beating this time is very much in line with my wishes!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wu De's mouth, and he sighed in his heart: This County Uncle Zhang holds too much weight in the heart of the Holy One, and his future development is immeasurable!

At the same time, he nodded and said: "About His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's invitation to the Third Prince of Wu Kingdom in the East Palace yesterday, this old slave has something to report to His Majesty."

"Oh? Tell me now, I really want to see what kind of trouble Zhang Twelve has caused!"

Emperor Tang smiled, stretched his body, walked down and said.

"Your Majesty is wise."

After Wu De was stunned for a moment, he said in admiration.

Emperor Tang waved his hand, and said with some doubts: "What is wise or not? Could it be that he really got into trouble again?"

After seeing Wu De nodding, Emperor Tang's expression was very exciting. He just said casually, but he didn't know that Zhang Twelve was really causing trouble again!
With a helpless sigh, he said, "Then Yang Zexin and Luo Xingjian are the most capable generals around Yizhi. If Zhang Twelve beat them up, Yizhi must feel ashamed. With his arrogant personality, he will definitely find him." Zhang Twelve's troubles! And Zhang Twelve is obviously not a master at the mercy of others, so if there is no conflict between these two people, I would be surprised!"

Wu De smiled when he heard this, and didn't think about it anymore, so he told the whole story of what happened in the East Palace yesterday.

If the prince or Zhang Twelve were present, they would probably be shocked by Wu De's words!
Because his description of the conflict in the Eastern Palace yesterday was extremely detailed, as if—as if he was present in person, and even the details that Zhang Twelve and the prince hadn't noticed, he didn't miss out, Really scary...

…………

"Stupid! Stupid! Absolutely stupid!"

After listening to Wu De's words, Emperor Tang almost roared and said three "stupid" in succession to express the anger in his heart!
Regarding the topic of criticizing the crown prince, it was inconvenient for Wu De to intervene, so he stood aside, waiting for Emperor Tang's next words.

"Knowing that I value Zhang Twelve very much, but still deliberately making things difficult for him, what is he trying to do?"

"Repelling the cavalry in Xiliang, forcing a truce in Xiliang; helping the court to get rid of the four eagles in Yushan to prevent future troubles; defeating the third prince of Wu in a fight to prevent Yilan from marrying Wu - isn't it a merit to pick out just one of these things? The royal family has done so many things, as a prince, doesn't he know how to be grateful?"

After saying this, Emperor Tang's eyes showed deep worry and helplessness.

There are many princes in the Tang Dynasty, but only two adults are the crown prince and King Xiang. However, compared to the second prince, King Xiang, the prince is self-willed and high-profile, especially with many bad habits. Inside, but well-informed.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son has always been established as the prince in all dynasties, but it was only when the Emperor Tang broke the rules.

And now that he has proclaimed himself emperor, he still follows this tradition when it comes to setting up the crown prince. He appointed the eldest son as the crown prince, but later discovered many shortcomings of the crown prince. He only thinks that he is young, and he will gradually get better in the future...

But with the passage of time, the prince's behavior style not only did not restrain himself, but intensified. Compared with his second brother King Xiang, he was much worse, and the reputation among the people of Jingzhou was not very good!

So Emperor Tang was not very satisfied with the prince in his heart, and he was even more furious when he heard this!
After calming down for a while, Emperor Tang said: "But Zhang Twelve is really powerful. He can dampen the prince's morale in the East Palace, which is much more powerful than I imagined! That's good, the prince is used to being arrogant, and today Someone made him suffer, I hope he can learn some lessons! Wu De, you go and pass the decree to let the prince enter the palace with Zhang Twelve, such a small conflict, it is not difficult to resolve it!"

In Emperor Tang's view, if he wanted to keep the Tang Dynasty safe, capable people like Zhang Twelve must be kept!And the prince will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If he can't get along well with Zhang Twelve, wouldn't he be handed over to other countries?
So he thought about being a peacemaker today and resolving the conflict between the two...

After listening to Emperor Tang's words, Wu De showed a wry smile on his face, thinking that this conflict might not be resolved...

He opened his mouth again and said, "Your Majesty...the old slave has something to report..."

"and also?"

Emperor Tang raised his eyebrows, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that Zhang Twelve got into trouble again?"

So Wu De told Emperor Tang what happened in "Wen Xiang Lai" today, paying attention to Emperor Tang's face while talking.

Emperor Tang was silent for a long time after listening, finally sat down on the chair, and said helplessly: "That's all, that's all, there's no need to announce the two of them into the palace!"

Listening to Wu De's talk about what happened at the banquet just now, Emperor Tang was angry, but not cold. He thought that the crown prince was just trying to stand up for servants like Yang Zexin and Luo Xingjian. Although it was reckless, it was not useless.

But what happened in "Wen Xiang Lai" revealed all the shortcomings of the prince, which made Emperor Tang feel deeply powerless: Was the original decision really right?

"Did the two of you not make a move?"

Emperor Tang habitually rubbed the position of his temples, and asked again: "Before the prince's personal guards came to Wenxiang, did Zhang Twelve tell the prince that I gave him the liquor?"

Wu De shook his head and said: "According to the news from the Secret Service, County Uncle Zhang should be afraid of the identity of the prince, so he didn't do anything before the guards arrived. The gold medal given to him was taken out."

"Afraid of the prince? Hehe——"

As if he had heard a big joke, Emperor Tang shook his head and said, "Will a man who can walk down and out easily under the hands of Mr. Wu and penetrate the black thread clothes five hundred steps away be afraid of the crown prince?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Wu De's face. Although he had been with His Majesty for decades, he still couldn't guess some of the emperor's thoughts.

"Forget it, he has been so generous to me, and I was really stingy to him before! A county magistrate, a mansion, such a move even looks shabby to me! Then let him, this lifeless Jingzhou, let him make trouble. It's okay to make a fuss..."

Emperor Tang came to the door of the imperial study with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars all over the sky, with a smile on his face that even Wu De couldn't understand.

…………

After a while, Wu De said to Emperor Tang: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, be careful of catching cold, you'd better go inside and rest!"

Tang Emperor heard this, turned and went back to the house, and said to Wu De: "Wu De, early tomorrow morning, you go to Weiguo Duke's mansion to find Zhang Twelve and invite him into the palace! He has embezzled so much money from the crown prince. And you said you took it for me? Then I will fulfill him!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Tang showed a mischievous smile on his face.

Wu De laughed dumbfounded when he heard this, and said to Tang Emperor: "This County Bo is indeed a little clever. Everything he did and everyone he beat after he came to Jingzhou seemed to be random and reckless, but when you really think about it , it seems that there is some connection - the most important thing is that these people who were beaten by him were all blackmailed by him, which is really hilarious!"

As Tang Emperor's confidant, Wu De naturally knew what Emperor Tang liked and disliked, what he liked to hear and what he didn't like to hear, like what he said about Zhang Twelve, that Emperor Tang loved to hear!

Sure enough, Emperor Tang got a little angry when he heard this sentence, but he laughed again after a while: "He is not smart, he is clearly using my name to blackmail! No, tomorrow I must take away his gold medal." Come up, save him from bluffing with gold medals every day!"

After saying this, Emperor Tang, who had calmed down, started to have a headache again...

After what happened today, Zhang Twelve and the crown prince have formed a relationship, and with the crown prince's character of vengeance, he will definitely not spare Zhang Twelve easily!

As for Zhang Twelve, how could he be the one willing to suffer?If the crown prince doesn't let him have a good time, he will definitely not have a good time either!

This is a dead end, how to break it?

Suddenly, he thought of what Wu De said last, about King Xiang going to "Wen Xianglai" to find Zhang Twelve. The two seemed to have a good conversation and had dinner together. It took a long time to leave...

There was another sigh in my heart: this prince, when can he have half of King Xiang's city mansion, isn't it obvious that he is pushing people towards King Xiang?It is estimated that King Xiang can wake up laughing at night when he sleeps...

No matter, let them go, this lifeless Jingzhou should be disturbed by Zhang Twelve...
