Chapter 160 Promote Li Jingzhong
Li Heng was taken aback, but said with a flickering expression, "So that's the case. Zizhan, this person is kind to me, and I will reward you generously. It's just that if this person can betray Gao Lishi, he may not be able to betray me in the future." ...is it really trustworthy?"

Zhang Xuan smiled softly, "Your Highness, this person is not betraying Gao Lishi, but is aware of current affairs. He believes that Gao Lishi colluded with his successor Ning Wang Li Lin to rebel and seize power. It is purely a failure to shake the tree, and he believes that His Highness will become a great treasure in the future—— That being the case, why bother to follow Gao Lishi to destruction?"

"Of course, he just wants to draw a background from His Highness." Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "This is also human nature. For such a person, as long as Your Majesty pays equal attention to kindness and power, he will honestly serve His Highness. Don’t dare to neglect in the slightest.”

Li Heng pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and smiled, "Zizhan's words are reasonable, and I agree. In this case, I will send Li Jingzhong to come over and beat him a little bit, to see if he is worthy of a great job."

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised that Li Heng was so impatient.

At this time, it was almost morning.

However, the chief inspector is related to the safety of the palace, and it is very important to the royal family. It is no wonder that Li Heng has to be recommended overnight.

Instructing the little eunuch to go to Xingqing Palace to summon Li Jingzhong, Li Heng turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan and sighed, "Zizhan, from the perspective of this palace, all the guards in this palace should be removed. Otherwise, I will sleep in the In this palace, I can't sleep well, I'm afraid that when I wake up, someone will force me to give way with a knife and gun."

There was Rong Wang Li Wan in the past, Gao Lishi and Si Ning Wang Li Lin in the future. This series of "forced palace" incidents has made Li Heng's cup of bow and snake shadow once bitten by snakes for ten years and fear of well ropes.

Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your honor. I will order people to replace the palace guards overnight. The fallen soldiers of the palace guards will be assigned to the Lishan Palace and handed over to the Jinwu Guard."

Li Heng heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Of course. Zizhan, with you in Chang'an, I feel much more at ease in my heart."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said nothing, but said in his heart, I am afraid that when you ascend the throne, if I want to stay in Chang'an, it will become a thorn in your heart that keeps you awake.

In this era of kingship, it is simply impossible to have a relationship between monarch and minister that starts well and ends well.Never.

It doesn't seem to be difficult to be a power minister, but the difficulty lies in that power ministers seldom end well.Li Linfu is an immediate example.According to the original historical trajectory, Yang Guozhong's fate was not much better.

Therefore, although he gradually integrated into this era, Zhang Xuan didn't want to let the emperor decide his own destiny, because it was too unreliable.

Your own destiny should be in your own hands.

What he is doing now is not about manipulating or evading anyone, nor is it about trying to seize much wealth, wealth and power, but to advance steadily step by step, and strive to be able to control in the future. own destiny.

The two monarchs and ministers chatted and laughed freely in the study, and Li Heng asked the eunuch to serve some food and wine, and the two began to drink.

Not long after, Li Jingzhong hurried to the East Palace.

This time the prince called, Li Jingzhong was very excited, and vaguely guessed that it was his chance.

At the door of the study, Yu Chaoen stood quietly at the other end of the corridor, staring angrily at Li Jingzhong who was striding forward, clasped the corridor tightly with both hands, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

At this time, the crown prince and Zhang Xuan passed on what Li Jingzhong was doing here. Others didn't know, but he guessed [-] to [-]% in his heart.

It must be Zhang Xuan, it must be him, he broke our family's major event!Thinking of Zhang Xuan's humiliation to him just now, Yu Chaoen's face twisted ferociously, and he wanted to roar up to the sky, but he still didn't dare.

On the other side, Li Jingzhong entered Li Heng's study, bowed down in front of Li Heng and shouted respectfully, "Slave Li Jingzhong, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, Prince Jian Guo!"

Li Heng smiled lightly and waved his hands, "Pingshen. Li Jingzhong, you helped the general put down the rebellion and made great contributions. This palace will definitely reward you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the slaves dare not take credit." Li Jingzhong got up and stood beside the waiter, and never looked at Zhang Xuan from the beginning to the end, let alone greeted Zhang Xuan.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth: This Li Jingzhong is really interesting, he is quite scheming.It's no wonder that he will be able to grasp the power of the Tang Dynasty in the future and dominate the situation for a while.

Li Jingzhong's evaluation in history is not high, and he is also one of the treacherous eunuchs who troubled the court.It's just that in Zhang Xuan's view, as long as Li Jingzhong is used well, it still has its existence value.As for the future, just don't give him the chance to control the power.

Ambition comes from power.As long as power is delivered to a certain extent, corresponding ambitions will naturally not breed.

This person has a stable and long-term vision, and is relatively clean and hardworking, which is far from being comparable to Yu Zhaoen.If he wants to use it, Zhang Xuan will definitely use Li Jingzhong and give up Yu Chaoen.

"You are mature and prudent, quite capable. I have thought over and over again and decided to entrust the matter of the inner palace to you. Are you willing to share my worries?" Li Heng smiled lightly and stared deeply at Li Jingzhong.

Li Jingzhong was ecstatic in his heart, but on his face, he put on a grateful and apprehensive look, knelt down on the ground calmly, did not pretend to refuse, but kowtowed and thanked him directly, "Your Highness, this slave dares not obey orders! Fulfill your duty, do your best for His Highness, and die!"

Li Heng laughed, and glanced back at Zhang Xuan, thinking that this guy is interesting, most people would politely refuse a few times, saying something like "the talent and virtue are not enough", but he just did his part to agree down.

"I will confer on you as the envoy of the Sangong Prosecutor and the General of the Zuojian Gate Guard. At the same time, I will give you the name of supporting the country. I hope that you will be loyal to your duties in managing the inner palace in the future, and will not disappoint my expectations. If there is any slack and dereliction of duty, I will The palace will never spare you!" Li Heng said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, Long En, a slave will die forever." Li Jingzhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, very hard, knocking loudly, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was already covered with bruises and bloodstains.

Although he knew that Li Jingzhong had an element of "acting", Li Heng felt very comfortable seeing his behavior like this.

He smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, step back now. Remember what I said, at Xingqing Palace, His Majesty's safety is up to you. Except for the imperial doctor, there is no oral order from the palace. Or the edict, no one is allowed to visit His Majesty without authorization."

"The slave obeys."

……

……

Although Li Heng repeatedly asked to stay, Zhang Xuan still refused to stay in the palace, but left the East Palace overnight, preparing to return to the palace.

It was already midnight, and there was a glimmer of light in the far sky.

In the cold breeze and under the faint moonlight, Zhang Xuan took dozens of sturdy and brave Habayashi guards and strode along the quiet palace road. His carriage was parked outside the palace gate.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the side of the palace road.

A guard of the Habayashi guards behind Zhang Xuan rushed forward vigilantly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Who? The general is here, don't retreat quickly!"

The black shadow immediately knelt down on the palace road, and said softly, "General, Li Jingzhong has been waiting here for a long time—"

Zhang Xuan chuckled, and stepped forward to support Li Jingzhong, "Eunuch Li is also shouldering heavy responsibilities now, you and I are both ministers of His Highness, so there is no need to be so polite in the future."

Li Jingzhong insisted on bowing for a while, then stood up and said in a low voice, "Jingzhong will always remember the kindness of the general's support and support. If the general has orders, Jingzhong will obey them!"

"Hehe." Zhang Xuan smiled, "Now that everything is going on, Eunuch Li can do his job well, share the worries for His Highness, and stabilize the three thousand in the inner palace, which is a great contribution. It is expected to be a marquis and a nobleman."

"Okay, it's late at night, I'm going out of the palace now."

Zhang Xuan patted Li Jingzhong on the shoulder, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Yu Chaoen from the Eastern Palace is quite ambitious, so I will watch over this guy for me and prevent him from causing trouble."

"Jing Zhong obeys the order. Respectfully send off the general!" Li Jingzhong stood by the side until the figures of Zhang Xuan and his party disappeared into the night and they could no longer be seen. Then they left slowly.

This is exactly the cleverness of Li Jingzhong.He knows where the power and status come from today. If it weren't for Zhang Xuan's strong recommendation, Prince Li Heng would definitely not push him up.Recently, Yu Chaoen in the Eastern Palace has become more and more arrogant day by day, relying on the Prince's favor, gradually began to run rampant in the palace.

Zhang Xuan led people out of the palace, along the way, the sky gradually brightened, and the sound of children getting up early and setting off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year could be faintly heard not far from the city.

The morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year is here. The [-]th year of Tianbao’s Yuanzheng Day was originally a day when the dignitaries of Chang’an called friends and friends to have a banquet, but because of a court seizure last night, most of the dignitaries closed their doors. The door, the servants are restrained, and no longer go out for the New Year. The atmosphere in this city seems a little deserted.

Zhang Xuan lifted the curtain of the car, poked his head out, looked at Yubai in the eastern sky, pondered for a while, and said loudly, "Changing the road, go to Mrs. Guo's Mansion!"

The guard and the coachman were taken aback, but they still silently obeyed the order and changed their way, turning around and going up to Mrs. Guo's mansion.

That night, Mrs. Guo Guo sat in the bedroom and didn't close her eyes all night.She has been anxiously waiting for Zhang Xuan. When he left the palace, Zhang Xuan promised him to meet her once in the mansion, but he has not come until now.

Did something happen again?Or did this little friend trick the slave family and make the slave family wait for a while?Third sister Yang's thoughts flashed, she grabbed the teacup on the small coffee table and held it in her hand, her eyes flickered.

At this moment, suddenly the maid stood outside the door and softly reported, "Madam, Madam..."

Third Sister Yang shouted impatiently, "What's the matter? My family is still resting."

"Return to madam, the general asks to see you." The maid outside the door replied timidly.

Third Sister Yang stood up with a bang, and said happily, "Come in, please."

……

……

Zhang Xuan floated in, and Third Sister Yang was waiting at the door in pajamas. Seeing Zhang Xuan coming in, she quickly closed the door tightly, and then threw herself into Zhang Xuan's arms, embracing Zhang Xuan tightly and never letting go.
