Tiantang

Chapter 2

Chapter 002

The eunuch who came to announce the decree did not seem to be of low status, but he was very young.

Not only the internal guard Habayashi Army, but also officials from Dali Temple and a group of servants accompanied him to declare the decree. This shows the seriousness of Zhang Huan's crime.

Zhang Jiuling has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son is Zhang Huan.He was 35 years old, relying on his father's reputation and shadow, and his talent, he was able to become an official, and sat on the position of Prince Zuo Zanshan, a fifth-rank senior official, next to Prince Li Heng. Fu Chen.

The second son, Zhang Ning, is a minister of the upper rank of the eighth grade. Although he is a low-level essay official, he still has an official background, which is not too embarrassing for Zhang Jiuling.

Only the youngest son, Zhang Xuan, who can't achieve martial arts without literary skills, spends all day wandering in the square city in love with flowers, proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but he doesn't know how to do business, which shames the Zhang family.

Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning were born by Meng Shi, Zhang Jiuling's original wife.The two daughters were born as concubines, and they have already married successively.do not mention.

The Meng family died early, Zhang Jiuling continued the Liu family in the 20th year of Kaiyuan, and Zhang Xuan was born in the 22nd year of Kaiyuan.When Zhang Jiuling passed away in the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Xuan was only 6 years old. I am afraid that it was the result of losing the control of his strict father and the doting and indulgence of his loving mother when he was young.

Although the Liu family is a continuation, she is also a regular wife and not a concubine, so her identity is there.

After Zhang Jiuling's death, the Liu family became the legitimate old lady of this family.Because of this, even though the brothers Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning couldn't get used to Zhang Xuan's younger brother, they had to bear it for the sake of Liu and his late father.

……

……

"I am wronged, Your Majesty..." Zhang Huan, who was dressed in an official robe with a dusty face, fell to the ground facing the direction of the palace, weeping uncontrollably. Behind him, Liu Shi, Zhang Ning and others knelt on the ground, their faces pale and their lips trembling. He couldn't say a word.

"Is there any grievance? Then go to the court to appeal... Go, take it away! Our family has to go back to the palace to pay the order." The little eunuch glanced at Zhang Huan dismissively, waved his hand, turned his head and left.

Immediately, several wolves and tigers rushed forward, picked up Zhang Huan and took him away.

There is an arched garden gate between the backyard and the front yard. Zhang Xuan quietly stood on the side of the courtyard wall, watching the astonishing scene of "chicken flying and dog jumping" in the front yard, his expression becoming more and more dignified.

The current Zhang family is in charge of the Liu family internally, and the eldest son Zhang Huan acts as the talker externally.The eldest son was suddenly taken down by the imperial decree and taken away to prison. For the Zhang family, it was tantamount to the collapse of half the sky. How could it not be in chaos.

Not only that.

"Falsely claiming to prophesy and denouncing Chengyu" probably means to attack and insult the emperor under the guise of divination words, with the suspicion of intentional rebellion.In the era of imperial power, this was a very serious crime, serious enough to overthrow the entire Zhang family and even the entire Zhang clan.

"Falsely claiming to prophesy, accusing Chengyu... What a big hat! This means that Zhang Huan is going to rebel!" Zhang Xuan was upset and leaned heavily on the wall, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead beads.

If Zhang Huan is convicted of treason, how can everyone in the Zhang family not be implicated?

He never dreamed that in less than a day and a night, the famous Zhang family, who traveled to Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, would be in danger from the sky.

Naturally, he has no feelings for Zhang Huan, and he has no sense of belonging to the Zhang family, but... In this way, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest, and the Zhang family will collapse. How can he live a good life?
"Zhang Huan..." Zhang Xuan collected himself, and his thoughts flashed.

Quietly sorting out the memory left by the original owner of this physical body and the historical information mastered in the previous life.Connecting Zhang Huan's official position with the well-known unlucky guy in Tang history, the current prince, and future Tang Suzong Emperor Li Heng, Zhang Xuan had an intuitive and clear judgment in his heart, which is probably far from the truth. Not far away.

Li Heng's tragedy is first of all that there is an overly powerful and talented emperor Lao Tzu Li Longji.After being established as the prince in the 26th year of Kaiyuan, it can be said that he was worried about being abolished all the time, because the tragic end of the former prince Li Ying is still vivid.

The second tragedy of Li Heng lies in the "siege" and resistance and rejection by the powerful officials in the court.In the front is Li Linfu, and in the back is Yang Guozhong.

Therefore, Li Heng's life is not easy.

In the first month of Tianbao's fifth year, because of a private meeting with Longyou Jiedu envoy Huangfu Weiming and important minister Wei Jian, Li Linfu seized the opportunity to make a big fuss.As a result, Li Linfu impeached Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, saying that they had colluded with each other to establish a prince.Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian were demoted to death because of this, and the ending was bleak.

Frightened, in order to get rid of himself, Li Heng defended himself on the table, and asked for a divorce on the grounds of "disharmony" with Wei Jian's sister and princess Webster, to show that "the law will not be abolished by relatives".Li Longji agreed that Concubine Wei became a nun, and then became strangers to Li Heng.

And at the end of the year, another conspiracy implicated Li Heng.Li Linfu ordered his confidants to impeach him, and he was determined not to give up on Li Heng.In desperation, Li Heng threw out his wife Du Liangdi again and divorced again.

It has only been stable for a few years, and the incident of Zhang Huan, the prince Zuo Zanshan, "falsely claiming to prophesy and denouncing Chengyu" came up... Zhang Xuan pondered, knowing in his heart that it was probably Li Linfu's party that caused the trouble again, Zhang Huan I'm afraid it's a victim of being used.

Zhang Huan was arrested, but Li Heng was dealt with.

……

……

Zhang Xuan's mother, Zhang Jiuling's widow, the Liu family, the mistress of the Zhang family, was only about forty, with a plump figure and a beautiful face, and her charm still remained.

She was born in a family of officials and officials, and her father, Liu Yi, was once the prefect of Yongzhou.At the critical moment of the family's life and death, this woman who has always been gentle and gentle also showed some courage in the face of danger.

She looked at Zhang Ning, the second son of the Zhang family who was not her own, and said in a soft but firm voice, "Yihe (Zhang Ning) and Licheng (Zhang Huan) are suffering and committing crimes... It's not too late, you go to the two in person immediately." At the uncle's house, please invite the two elders to come to the house to discuss matters."

Zhang Ning suppressed his flustered mood and bowed, "Yes. I will send a letter to the residence of the two uncles and invite the two elders to make a decision."

Zhang Ning turned around and hurried out of the mansion, but Liu Shi said again, "Also, Yihe, you can stop by Chen Xiang's house and ask to see Chen Xiang... I beg Chen Xiang to be lenient."

The Prime Minister Liu mentioned was Chen Xilie, the Left Prime Minister, who had been an official in the same dynasty as Zhang Jiuling for many years, and had a pretty good personal relationship.Something happened to Zhang's family, it's normal for Liu Shi to think of Chen Xilie.

It's just that Zhang Ning froze slightly after hearing this, but a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Chen Xilie is no longer the Chen Xilie of the past. Today's leftist Chen Xilie is singing along behind Li Linfu's buttocks, and his power is soaring.

When Zhang Ning wanted to be released as an official, he approached Chen Xilie once, but Chen Xilie blocked the door without even seeing him.

But Zhang Ning didn't say anything to Liu Shi, but nodded and continued to leave the mansion.

Looking at the thin back of Zhang Ning leaving in a hurry, and looking around at the male and female servants standing around the courtyard with panic expressions, Liu Shi sighed quietly, looked up at the sky where the sun was shining, and suddenly felt dizzy dizzy.
