The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 459
Zhang Heling was invited to the side hall by the eunuch Han, and after sitting down, some palace servants naturally served tea and fruit snacks.

If it is an ordinary foreign minister, it is impossible to enter and leave the palace so easily.But Zhang Heling was different, he was the younger brother of the empress dowager, and no one could gossip if he wanted to enter the palace to meet his sister.

If there is any blind censor who dares to go to the memorial to impeach him, what awaits him must be a real slap in the face.

As early as the Hongzhi Dynasty, Zhang Heling enjoyed many privileges.When it came to the crown prince's nephew, Jianzuo, no one dared to make trouble for him in terms of regulations.

Zhang Heling put down the teacup, nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry."

Although Zhang Heling was extremely arrogant, there was one kind of person he would never offend, that is, the eunuchs around the empress dowager and the emperor.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang just woke up from a nap, changed her clothes under the service of the maid, put on her head mask, and Shi Shi ran out of the inner room.

Zhang Heling hurried forward to salute and said, "I pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhang showed a rare smile and said, "Why are you here today, Pheasant?"

Pheasant is Zhang Heling's nickname, and he has been called that by Queen Mother Zhang since he was a child.Although Zhang Heling didn't like this baby name very much, but her sister agreed to call him if she wanted to.

"I don't miss my sister anymore."

After a lot of etiquette, Zhang Heling answered the Queen Mother Zhang as a sister and brother.

"You, your mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded a little between her younger brother's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what's your plan? Or did you cause some trouble, and you can't help but come to beg for your family?"

"Sister, is it possible that in your eyes I'm just a dandy who accomplishes nothing?"

Zhang Heling looked at Queen Mother Zhang aggrievedly, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Apparently this trick failed after repeated trials, Empress Dowager Zhang said helplessly: "You said this yourself, the Ai family didn't say it. Well, let's talk, why did you come to the Ai family?"

My younger brother knows best, Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't believe that younger brother will make a special trip to the palace just because he misses her.

"Hey, look at what my sister said."

Zhang Heling scratched her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "My sister still understands me. I came this time to clear up the land affairs of the temples in the west of Beijing."

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was originally beaming with joy, immediately froze her smile.

She asked in a deep voice: "Why, the Ai family just said a few words to the emperor, and the city is full of trouble?"

Zhang Heling quickly waved his hands and said, "They are all from my own family, why is it called a city full of wind and rain. My emperor's nephew is also in trouble, sister, don't force him anymore."

As he spoke, Zhang Heling revealed his dandyism, and the Queen Mother Zhang put on a straight face angrily: "You, sooner or later you will suffer from this mouth. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise if it spreads, you will suffer. "

"Hey, with my sister here, who careless would dare to trouble me. Besides, I'm right. Isn't the Son of Heaven my nephew?"

"You!"

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that no matter how much she said, it was impossible to change her younger brother's temper, so she simply let him go.

"You'd better not get involved in this matter."

"I don't care about other things, but I'm in charge of this matter. The old bald donkey humiliated me several times, and you don't know it, sister. If I don't avenge my revenge, how can I still be in the capital?"

Zhang Heling said indignantly.

Seeing that her younger brother looked like a rascal, Empress Dowager Zhang really didn't know what to do, so she could only lower her voice and say, "Is it really impossible for you and Master Huikong to get along?"

"That shit mage is just a trickster."

Zhang Heling swears, and the spit sprays all over the place.

"Hey, but Tanzhe Temple was expanded by the Ai family. If Tanzhe Temple is asked to hand over the land at this time, the Ai family will not be honored."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had loosened her tone, Zhang Heling hurriedly said, "My sister, don't be confused! It is true that Tanzhe Temple was expanded by you, but it is true that they lied about granting the land. The law of the country, of course you should stand on the side of the law of the country.”

Seeing the awe-inspiring righteousness Zhang Heling said, Empress Dowager Zhang chuckled and said, "I don't see you thinking about the court so much on weekdays, why did you change your rhetoric when you came to someone else?"

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "Of course it's different for yourself and others."

"Let Aijia think about it."

Empress Dowager Zhang pondered for a long time, then sighed and said, "If you let Xie Shen succeed in this way, are you able to swallow this breath?"

Zhang Heling waved his hand and said: "These are two different things. It's true that the surname Xie has a grudge against me, but he doesn't hate it like this old bald donkey. If I had to choose between the two, I would rather call the old bald donkey bad luck!" "

"Hey, it's all up to you." Empress Dowager Zhang finally made a concession: "The Ai family will no longer force the emperor, but everything must be done in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Tanzhe Temple can only clear the commonly used fields. Never move."

Zhang Heling responded, thinking that the total amount of land bestowed by the imperial court is only so much, and the monks in Tanzhe Temple can eat all their brains full of fat. Isn't it because they lied about most of the commonly used fields in the name of the bestowed land in order to achieve preferential grain tax exemption the goal of.

This time, that old bald donkey was out of luck.

"Sister, you have to tell His Majesty about this, otherwise he, a dutiful son, would not dare to do something against you."

"You!"

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded again between Zhang Heling's eyebrows, and then said loudly: "The Ai family promises you, go and talk to the emperor in person."

"Hey, it's my sister who loves me."

Before entering the palace, Zhang Heling expected such a result.

Not to mention an old bald donkey, even ten or a hundred are not as good as Zhang Heling.

In my sister's mind, perhaps only the emperor's nephew is more important than him.

"My sister still has to rest, so I won't bother you."

Zhang Heling didn't want to stay longer in the palace when he achieved his goal, so the angry Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and said: "You have no conscience, the Ai family loves you for nothing."

She made a gesture to hit her, but Zhang Heling immediately ran away with her head in her arms.

He smiled while running: "This is not what I want to leave, it's my sister who drove me away."

"The Ai family understands that the Ai family is destined to die of old age in this deep palace. No one who is close to the Ai family can be counted on. You are like this, and so is the emperor."

Empress Dowager Zhang gave a wry smile and shook her head helplessly.

Zhang Heling's face froze, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm not joking with my sister. If you want me to stay longer, I will. But I'm afraid I can't stay overnight."

"get out!"

Empress Dowager Zhang burst into tears and pretended to curse.

Zhang Heling sighed, and hurriedly took the opportunity to trot out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.
