Chapter 207 Li Heng: Recall Zhang Xuan?

Chapter 218 Li Heng: Recall Zhang Xuan?
Chang'an.East Palace.main hall.

Because of the sudden earthquake, the matter of offering sacrifices to the sky was left alone.Li Heng hurried back to Chang'an with his civil and military officials, and began to deploy Chang'an's "earthquake relief".Of course, the old emperor was still left in the Lishan Palace.

In fact, for Li Heng, this was just a natural disaster, at most it was a coincidence.However, the courtiers and common people in Chang'an didn't think so. Although he has the supreme power of the prince of Jian Guo, he can't stop the people in the world from talking.

All kinds of rumors and rumors are everywhere, and almost all the "spearheads" are aimed at him, the prince in power.

What caused the wrath of the heavens because of the unethical government, and so on.

That's all right, some rumors are not enough to threaten Li Heng's throne.It's just that Li Heng got the news that some of his brothers were ready to move, contacting the courtiers everywhere, keeping in touch with each other, and putting on a posture of adding insult to injury.

Li Heng was very angry, and even more depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, needless to say, Yang Guozhong, even Chen Xilie was hesitant, unable to come up with a decent idea.

At this critical moment, he suddenly remembered when Zhang Xuan was there.If Zhang Xuan shared his worries, he would definitely not be as distressed as he is now.

An astonishing idea suddenly rose in his heart: he wanted to recall Zhang Xuan halfway and stay by his side to assist him.

He was depressed and irritable in the study, but he heard the report from the eunuch, "Your Highness, Zhang Liangdi and Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are begging to see you!"

Li Heng frowned, let out a long sigh of sullenness, then waved his hands and said, "Pass!"

Zhang Liangti and Zhang Jiyong, the household secretary promoted by Li Hengxin, Zhang Liangdi's elder brother, walked in one after the other. Zhang Liangdi bowed her body and said, "The concubine has seen Your Highness!"

Zhang Jiyong hurriedly saluted and paid homage, "Minister Zhang Jiyong, greeting Your Highness!"

"Get up and sit down." Li Heng waved his hands indifferently.

Zhang Liangdi carefully observed Li Heng's face, knowing why Li Heng was distressed, she respectfully smiled and said softly, "Your Highness is still worried about the natural disaster? Zhang Shangshu is here to report the disaster relief to His Highness ..."

Zhang Liangdi winked at Zhang Jiyong.

Zhang Jiyong said loudly, "Your Highness—"

Before Zhang Jiyong's words came out, Li Heng waved his hands with some annoyance and said in a deep voice, "I don't listen to these trivial matters anymore, you can just deal with them as appropriate."

"Zhang Jiyong, my palace intends to urgently recall Zhang Xuan, the governor of Longshuo, back to Beijing to relieve my palace's worries, what do you think?"

Zhang Jiyong was taken aback when he heard this, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He glanced at Li Heng's face, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I think it's inappropriate. Zhang Xuan is not only the governor of Longshuo, but also a feudal town that was just confiscated. If you change generals midway, I'm afraid there will be mistakes, so please think twice, Your Highness!"

Zhang Liangdi's face was also a little ugly.I thought: Let Zhang Xuan come back?It's a good thing he can figure it out!If Zhang Xuan is allowed to come back, our Zhang family...

But even if she has all kinds of objections and resistances in her heart, as a concubine in the harem, she can't intervene in such important military affairs without authorization, otherwise, it will definitely arouse the disgust of Li Heng who is very sensitive nowadays.

"The position of the governor of Longshuo can be changed. As for the marriage of Tang and Fan..." Li Heng smiled lightly, "It's not a big deal for Feng Changqing to take over as temporary replacement. Well, you all step down first, and I will let the palace do it again." Consider it carefully!"

……

……

Zhang Jiyong originally had several things to report, so he couldn't finish any of them, so he had to leave in a hurry with Zhang Liangdi.

Outside the palace gate, Zhang Jiyong cupped his hands to Zhang Liangdi, "Liangdi, I'm going back first."

Zhang Liangdi retreated to the left and right, grabbed Zhang Jiyong's cuff and said in a low voice, "Brother, you must stop His Highness from calling Zhang Xuan back to Beijing. This person has always been against our Zhang family. If he comes back, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhang Jiyong sighed softly, "The current Highness is no longer the crown prince a few years ago. The current Highness is in power and self-respecting, and will not listen to the advice of his subjects. If Your Highness insists on this, there is nothing I can do."

"However, I just went out of the palace to visit the Yang Mansion. I don't believe that Yang Guozhong would want Zhang Xuan to come back and fight for power with him?"

Zhang Liangti shook his head, "Brother, don't pin your hopes on Yang Guozhong. The more Yang Guozhong stops you, the more His Highness wants to recall Zhang Xuan. Brother, go find Chen Xuanli..."

Zhang Liangdi whispered a few words in Zhang Jiyong's ear.

Zhang Jiyong nodded in response, took a deep look at Zhang Liangdi, and then strode away, secretly surprised in his heart: Usually, he underestimated this vase-like clan girl, never thought she would have such insight!
However, for Zhang Jiyong and the Zhang family, the more "excellent" Zhang Liangti was, the more in line with their political interests.Once Li Heng became the emperor and Zhang Liangdi became the empress, who else would dare to contend with their Zhang family in Chang'an City?

The Yang family, the Yang family is considered a bird... Zhang Jiyong drove out of the palace, and on the way, he was full of emotions and looked forward to the bright future of the Zhang family's prosperity.

***************************************
Before dusk, Li De, the governor of Puzhou, led many officials and miscellaneous servants in Puzhou to drive cattle and sheep to bring wine, under the banner of rewarding the army.Zhang Xuan did not refuse, and ordered to reward the soldiers with the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and the soldiers drank and had fun together.

Li De had a banquet with Zhang Xuan and others in the camp until nightfall, and then he left and returned to the city.

Under the night, the bonfires flickered throughout the camp, and the smell of alcohol filled the air.Of course, not all of the more than ten thousand army horses drank, but at least half of the soldiers were rewarded with a bowl of wine and a piece of meat, and the officers with slightly higher ranks even felt drunk.

This place is in the inland of the Tang Dynasty, outside Puzhou City, there is no internal or external troubles, since the governor is kind, the soldiers naturally open their hearts to drink and indulge.

Zhang Xuan also seemed to be [-]% drunk.Drunk-eyed, he swayed out of the handsome tent, and walked down to a locust tree with a crooked neck in front of the handsome tent.Hua Nuer hesitated for a moment, but still chased after her.

Zhang Xuan leaned on the locust tree, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and remained silent.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked at Hua Nuer and said softly, "Bring your qin and play the qin for me, how about?"

Zhang Xuan's voice was extraordinarily ethereal and soft, and his eyes were even more clear without any evil thoughts.Hua Nuer nodded silently, turned around and ran into the tent.Not long after, she took the piano and sat down on the ground alone, and started playing.

Of course her piano skills are incomparable to those of Cui Ying who specialize in piano skills, but she is quite solid, fluent and proficient.

However, her piano sound has a little more crisp sound of gold and stone, which is more powerful, which is obviously related to her personality.

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sang——

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the blue sky. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows. How is it like being in the world? Turn to Zhuge, There is no sleep in a lowly home. There should be no hatred. What is the long-term goodbye? People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes.

Zhang Xuan's singing is very generous and touching.He turned to face the northwest, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the long night and reach the brightly lit Chang'an City.

As soon as Hua Nuer's piano sound stopped, her face flushed slightly, but her mind could not be calmed down for a long time.

Is he missing his beautiful wife and concubine in the capital?

This must be the song order that made Ruyan Ruyu's two girls stand out at the Shangyuan Festival banquet... This talent is extremely talented and suave. But he insisted on walking on dangerous eggs, doing such a thrilling thing... Why did he come here?
Hua Nuer stared at Zhang Xuan's back in a daze, and sighed secretly in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan suddenly turned his head and smiled at her, "Long ditch and the moon go silently, in the shadows of apricot blossoms, play the piano until dawn-Huanuer, would you like to watch the moon with me until dawn?"

"Okay." Hua Nuer also smiled lightly, but suddenly pushed the piano up with all her strength, and her whole body flew up.Zhang Xuan was right in front of her, but he didn't see clearly how her figure quietly transformed from a sitting posture to a standing posture. When Zhang Xuan looked up, Hua Nuer had already jumped ten feet in front of the locust tree. Yu Zhang rushed into a shadowy corner, and immediately there was a light reprimand and a clear and pleasant sound of sword clashing.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, and he looked left and right, and the figures of Xiao Shisanlang and Nan Jiyun had already shot towards that room at the same time.

However, Xiao Shisanlang and Nan Jiyun went late.

Hua Nuer held a dagger and threatened a thin man in black to turn out of the shadows.Although the man in black was captured, he didn't show any signs of panic.

"Governor Zhang, I came here to deliver a letter, and there is no malice."

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "An Lushan sent you here? This time it was a letter delivery, a threat, and the next time, I am afraid it will be assassinated by endless assassins, right?"

"Nanba, shoot him!"

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking coldly, he turned his back.

As soon as Nan Jiyun let go of the bow and arrow in his hand, the arrow flew away and went straight into the throat of the man in black. The man in black's eyes burst, but he died on the spot.

"Huanuer, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

……

……

"Brother, please go to the city. An Lushan doesn't need to touch him, just give him this letter from me. At the same time, tell him that he can use this kind of indecent method. I, Zhang Xuan I will use it too, if there is another time, I will use whatever means and at all costs to take his dog's life!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was cold and severe, and he said every word.

Xiao Shisanlang nodded silently, turned around and left, hiding in the deep night.

Zhang Xuan walked away with a flick of his sleeves and went straight into the tent.

Hua Nuer hesitated for a while, then quietly entered the tent.Nan Jiyun was silent for a moment, and hurriedly summoned the soldiers to drag down the body of the man in black and bury it. He had been with Zhang Xuan for so long, and this was the first time he saw Zhang Xuan's defiance of the gentle gentleman, showing his cold blood. A ruthless and murderous side.
