Chapter 299

Nan Jiyun glanced at the group of people in Gongsun's residence, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Gongsun Xiaoke?"

Gongsun Xiaoke stood up bravely, cupped his fists and said, "This general, I am Gongsun Xiaoke, I wonder who you are?"

Gongsun Xiaoke is short in stature and thin in stature, he belongs to that kind of small and exquisite man.And his skin is fair, with oily hair and pink face, it is obvious at a glance that he is a dude.

Nan Jiyun smiled calmly, stared at Gongsun Xiaoke and said loudly, "This general, under the command of King Yongning, the governor of Longshuo, and the chief commander of the four towns, Zhang Shuai, the general of the Shence Army Zhonglang, Nan Jiyun, passed Zhang Shuai's oral instructions to you—— "

Nan Jiyun paused for a while, cleared his throat, and said in a solemn voice, "You conspired with Zhang Qing to frame Li Xiu, are you deceiving me that there is no one in Yongning Palace? Gongsun Xiaoke, this king only gives you one chance, go to Beijing immediately Zhaofu Yamen surrendered, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

After finishing speaking, Nan Jiyun's icy eyes swept over Gongsun Xiaoke, then turned around and got on his horse, shouting loudly, "All the troops!"

"Yes!" More than a hundred guards agreed in unison.

"Go!" Nan Jiyun waved his hand and galloped away.Immediately, all the troops followed on their horses and galloped away.

Nan Jiyun's cold voice echoed in Gongsun Xiaoke's ears, and his face became extremely pale. Even though it was winter, there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

His mother, Mrs. Sun, came forward anxiously, grabbed Gongsun Xiaoke's arm, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ke, tell my mother honestly, what trouble did you cause outside again? Why did King Yongning send someone to deal with it?" You say this kind of thing? Say it quickly!"

"Mother...baby..." Gongsun Xiaoke rubbed his hands and said softly, "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the baby, it's Zhang Qing, the younger brother of Zhang Liangdi..."

Gongsun Xiaoke leaned into Sun's ear and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.After hearing this, Mrs. Sun frowned tightly on her charming face.

Annoyed, she tugged Gongsun Xiaoke's arm, stomped her feet and said, "You bastard, my mother told you not to fool around with that Zhang Qing, but you never listened to me! What a shame!" Alright, you've got into a big disaster, let's see how you end up!"

"Yongning Wang Zhangxuan is something we can provoke? I hate your old bastard. After hearing Zhang Jiyong's instigation, he wrote a letter to impeach him. This matter is over, and your little enemy has caused such trouble again... ..." Sun gritted her teeth anxiously and said, "Xiao Ke, listen to my mother's words, and my mother will accompany you to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to surrender and plead guilty. Zhang Qing is the mastermind, and you are just colluding, which is not a serious crime. ..."

Gongsun Xiaoke was taken aback, took a step back and said in a low voice, "Mother, this..."

"Why are you still hesitating? Why can't you understand this child? King Yongning is asking you to testify against Zhang Qing and leave you a way out...Xiao Ke, the Zhang family is willing to fight with the Yongning Palace, so let Let's go fight, our Gongsun family can't afford to be Zhang Jiyong's pioneer, we can't do it!"

"Let's go, follow my mother to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion!" Mrs. Sun was also a very courageous woman, and she dragged her son to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

She was right in her judgment, Zhang Xuan's purpose this time was to give Gongsun Xiaoke a chance to testify against Zhang Qing.

……

……

On the central street from West Market to East Market, merchants and common people come and go like weaving.

Boom!

There was a sound of roaring horseshoes, and merchants and common people fled to both sides of the street. At this moment, they saw a group of soldiers in bright armor galloping past, led by a majestic young general.

"Look, that seems to be Nan Jiyun, General of the Shence Army under the command of King Yongning, known as the number one arrow god in the Longshuo Army. His arrows hit every target without fail. He shot down the heads of Tubo cavalrymen among thousands of troops, just like picking something out of a bag!"

"Arrow God Nanba is so young!"

"Hey, Nanba and we are still from Henan..."

Nan Jiyun looked ahead and saw that there were many pedestrians in front of him, so he slowed down his horseshoes and waved his hands at the same time, all the troops also eased down.

Nan Jiyun led the more than a hundred guards forward amidst the whispers of the crowd, with a solemn look on his face.

Not long after, I arrived at the Zhang's mansion, a relative of the state.

Zhang's Mansion is also a relatively majestic mansion in Chang'an City, but it is still a bit less imposing than Yongning Palace.

The four gatekeepers were chatting idly in front of the gate, when they suddenly saw Nan Jiyun rushing all the way to the gate of the mansion with more than a hundred guards, they were shocked, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Nan Jiyun immediately smiled coldly and waved his hand.

Two soldiers dismounted from their horses and threw [-] guan coins in front of the stone lion in front of Zhang's mansion. The gleaming copper coins reflected a strange brilliance in the cold sunlight.

"Under the order of King Yongning, Governor of Longshuo, and Chief of the Four Towns March Zhang Shuai, Zhang Qing, the third son of Zhang's family, returned thirty pieces of money with interest. Please check it!"

After finishing speaking, the soldiers got off their horses, turned their horses' heads under the leadership of Nan Jiyun, and left in the dust.

Several house slaves in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion stared dumbfounded at the backs of Nan Jiyun's soldiers galloping away, and then lowered their heads to look at a field of copper coins not far in front of them. They looked at each other and stayed there.

……

……

Xingqing Palace, Tongming Palace.

Prince Jian Guo Li Heng set up a celebration banquet for Zhang Xuan, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty attended.Of course, to be able to attend such a large-scale banquet held by the imperial court, at least officials above the middle level of the court, as well as some relatives of the emperor, Sheng Wang Li Qi and Princess Xianyi were among them.

The vassals and towns from all over the country who returned to Beijing to report on their duties, and the Huihe Khan who came to Beijing to worship

Li Heng is in the middle. On the left are Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo, Prince Gele and Princess Su Hudong; on the right are Sheng Wang Li Qi, Princess Xianyi, Chu King Li Yu, Jianning King Li Tan and other direct royal families.Wan Chunben was also invited, but for some reason, he didn't show up.

The first position on the left below is empty, obviously reserved for Zhang Xuan.Below Zhang Xuan are Ge Shuhan, the governor of Hexi, Yang Qi, the governor of Anxi, Cheng Qianli, the governor of Beiting, An Sishun, the governor of Jiannan, and Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Henan.

An Lushan in Fanyang did not go to Beijing to report on his work on the grounds of illness.Yang Guozhong served concurrently as the governor of the Bohai Sea.As a result, the eight major feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty have basically gathered in the capital.

On the right side are Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie, Zhang Jiyong, Chen Xuanli and others.

Li Heng smiled and pointed his head over to Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo to talk, while everyone in the hall whispered to each other and waited quietly for Zhang Xuan.

However, after waiting and waiting, there was no trace of Zhang Xuan.

Li Heng was in a good mood and also very patient. He chuckled and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, King Yongning has traveled all the way back home to change clothes. There is a slight delay. Don't be impatient, just wait patiently!"

Seeing Li Heng treating Zhang Xuan with such courtesy and high regard, Gu Li Pei Luo and his son Ge Le exchanged a knowing look.

On the right side of Li Heng, on the side of the royal family, everyone had different expressions.

Li Yu frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, while Li Tan, the king of Jianning, had a flash of light in his eyes, thoughtful.Sheng Wang Li Qi looked back at Princess Xianyi and said in a low voice, "Sister Xianyi, how about I go to Yongning Palace to pay a visit to Zhang Xuan tomorrow?"

Xian Yi glanced at Li Heng hastily, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qi, be careful with your words!"

Everyone waited and waited, and more than half an hour passed, but Zhang Xuan was still nowhere to be found.

Not to mention the noisy officials, even Li Heng was a little impatient.He frowned and called an eunuch, "Go to Yongning Palace to see if something went wrong, why hasn't Yongning King entered the palace yet!"

"Yes." The eunuch took the order and left.

The eunuch galloped out of the palace and galloped all the way to Yongning Palace.

On the way, he met Zhang Xuan and turned back again.

……

……

"King Yongning is here!" With the eunuch's shrill voice, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Holding a long gilt box in his arms, Zhang Xuan did not change the color of the king's clothes, but changed into a military casual robe, still covered with bright armor.

Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Xuan walked in slowly, his steps were steady, but his face was solemn, even gloomy, which made many ministers confused.

Zhang Xuan walked all the way, passing through the banquets of the crowd, bowed down before Li Heng's case, and said in a loud voice, "Minister Zhang Xuan is late for something, and I have troubled His Highness to wait for a long time, and I am extremely terrified!"

Li Heng laughed, and was about to say a few polite words to let Zhang Xuan return to his seat, but Zhang Xuan said loudly, "I have a great injustice, and please Your Highness be the master!"

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, most of the courtiers on the court were stunned for a moment.Only Zhang Jiyong's face darkened, and he guessed a bit.And Chen Xuanli sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that Zhang Xuan's counterattack had finally appeared.

He had already expected that Zhang Xuan was not a vegetarian and would definitely fight back, but he did not expect that Zhang Xuan would choose to pierce this layer of window paper at today's celebration banquet.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanli secretly glanced at Zhang Jiyong, and thought: I want to see how you respond and how you end up.In any case, you let the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion detain Zhang Xuan's little wife. This is so obvious that you don't know the seriousness.

You slapped Zhang Xuan in the face, how can Zhang Xuan let it go? !
Li Heng was startled, and said in surprise, "Zizhan, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xuan straightened up slowly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Li Tengkong, the concubine's room, was taken away by the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen a few days ago on trumped-up charges, and is still in custody in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. I hurried to Jingzhao Mansion Asking the reason, so I delayed the time, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Heng was taken aback, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Jiyong, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Jiyong, is there such a thing?"

Endless anger flickered in Li Heng's eyes. At this moment, he wished he could kick Zhang Jiyong over.Can Zhang Xuan's concubine be caught casually?Even if there are some "problems", for Zhang Xuan's sake, he can't arrest people casually.

Zhang Jiyong was caught off guard by the face-to-face questioning, he calmed down his chaotic emotions a little, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, there is something wrong."
