Chapter 301 Forcing Li Heng to express his opinion

"Although she is a concubine, she is also my wife. Even if Zhang does not become the king of Yongning, and returns to the land, he will still be a proud husband in the world. If someone insults my wife for no reason, he can only follow Zhang. step over the dead body!"

"If you can't even protect your own woman, what face does Zhang have to live in this world?!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was stern and generous, and he looked very emotional, but in fact his heart was extremely peaceful.

For Zhang Jiyong, he has completely lost his patience.He has always been resolute and decisive, never procrastinating, and since he has made a decision to fight back, he will go straight to Huanglong—since Zhang Jiyong has chosen to be his enemy and declared war on himself, Zhang Xuan can only fight.

As for the enemy, Zhang Xuan has always been as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Zhang Xuan's words echoed in the hall, and the lingering sound lingered around the beams.

These few words are a bit heavy, which represents his firm attitude that he would rather break than bend, and would rather be broken than whole.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty took a breath, and there were some complicated meanings in the eyes looking at Zhang Xuan.

Yang Guozhong suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Zhang Xuan, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Zhang Xuan wants to completely declare war on the 'princelings', but that's good too, let's beat these bastards and see how they end up! Do you think that with Li Heng's backing, you can get carried away? Hmph, this time, Zhang Jiyong has to peel off his skin if he doesn't die!"

Yang Guozhong read the lightning flash.

Ge Shuhan, An Sishun, Yan Zhenqing, Yang Qi and other feudal towns watched silently, the shock in their hearts can be imagined.However, although they are vassals and towns with military power, judging from the current situation, their influence in the court has been greatly reduced. Today's Tang Dynasty court is an era when Yang Guozhong, Zhang Xuan and the princelings are fighting, and they have retreated. The "second line".

Li Heng remained silent, his eyes flickering.

The members of the royal family beside him had different expressions, some were gloating, some were indifferent, and some were filled with righteous indignation.

Li Tan is the kind of person who appeals to Zhang Xuan for his injustice.It's just that although he is Li Heng's son, he speaks lightly, and in this kind of situation, he is not qualified to speak at all.

Sheng Wang Li Qi's eyes were full of brilliance, and he was quite shocked in his heart, secretly hoping that Zhang Xuan would completely break with the princelings and even Li Heng because of this, and then he would look for opportunities to make a comeback.

Human ambition is like this. Once it grows, it is like a weed in spring that begins to grow wildly, and it cannot be extinguished.

Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, he also saw some clues.It turned out that Zhang Xuan did not overwhelm the sky with one hand in the Tang court, and there were still "princelings" to contend with him.But this time, Zhang Xuan took the opportunity to declare war on the "princelings". The result will directly determine the political direction of the Tang court.

Ge Le shook his head secretly, but the moment he turned his head, he saw his sister Su Hudong's delicate face turned red, and her hot chest seemed to rise and fall slightly, indicating that she was very restless in her heart at the moment.

Su Hudong stared closely at Zhang Xuan, a strange gleam in his eyes became more and more intense.

Zhang Xuan's impassioned words just now really moved Su Hudong, and her closed heart was slightly opened.She didn't expect that Zhang Xuan could make such a big fuss for a concubine, even offending Chu Wang Li Yu, and standing on the opposite side of Zhang Jiyong and other powerful officials in the court without hesitation.

This high-spirited masculinity comes from the heart, and it is by no means a disguise.

"His little concubine, being able to share with such a man... can be regarded as a blessing from her previous life." Su Hudong thought to himself, and his spirits were swaying.

In fact, there are many royal princesses and court ladies who have the same thoughts as Su Hudong in the palace at this moment.In this era, the status of concubines is low, and it can be said that they are accessories and playthings of men, but it is very rare for Zhang Xuan to "go to war" for a concubine.It can also be seen that this man is indeed a different man.

Princess Xianyi looked at Zhang Xuan with an incredulous look, and the complexity and excitement in her heart could not be described in words.

The most embarrassing person on the field was Chu Wang Li Yu.

He originally wanted to stand up to smooth things over, but he originally stood with people like Zhang Jiyong, so of course his attitude was subconsciously partial.But he didn't expect that this would ignite Zhang Xuan's anger again, and Zhang Xuan would not save him any face.

Li Yu blushed, the corners of his mouth twitched and was about to refute a few more words, but Li Heng spoke in a timely manner. Li Heng knew that if he didn't express his position, even his son Li Yu would completely turn against Zhang Xuan.

"Okay, Zizhan, sit back, I have my own opinion, and I will definitely give you an explanation. If someone ignores the law and insults the majesty of King Yongning, I will be the first to spare him!"

"Zizhan, sit down first, come here, hurry up and tell Malu, the young Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, to enter the palace——Okay, let's have fun, and the banquet will begin!"

Li Heng waved his hand abruptly, nodded and winked at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, his purpose was to force Li Heng to express his opinion, since Li Heng had expressed his opinion, of course he accepted it as soon as he saw it.

Of course, this is just the "opening remarks", and his counterattack will be wave after wave.

Unless Zhang Jiyong is trampled to death, he will never give up.

Zhang Xuan returned to his seat proudly, and dance music started. Dozens of dancing girls in feather clothes and neon clothes appeared gorgeously on the stage, and the melodious and melodious silk and bamboo music also sounded at the same time.

"Come on, let us raise our glasses together, to celebrate King Yongning's defeat of Tubo, and once again for the imperial court to open up territories! Drink!"

Li Heng laughed loudly, as if he had completely forgotten the "interlude" just now, and raised his glass to invite him to drink.

Everyone raised their glasses together and said loudly, "Long live my emperor, the Tang Dynasty will last forever, drink!"

Although Li Heng's current status is not yet the emperor, it will be a matter of time before he ascends the throne, so most courtiers deliberately blurred the title, which can be regarded as flattering Li Heng.

This "Long live my emperor" made Li Heng elated, and his face couldn't hide the intense excitement at all.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses again to deter the barbarians for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. Drink!" Li Heng drank it down, and then raised his glass again to invite another drink.

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly and drank with the crowd. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Concubine Yang was not present on this occasion.

He frowned slightly, worried about Yang Yuhuan's situation.

But he didn't know that Yang Yuhuan was not in the palace at all. She spent half of a month in the other palace in Lishan, and half of the time in Third Sister Yang's house.After all, she is still the Noble Concubine of the Tang Dynasty in name.

As for Li Heng, he simply had no time to care about her.For Li Heng, as long as Yang Yuhuan is honest and quiet, and doesn't gossip, that's enough.

Zhang Jiyong sat there, his face pale, and his heart became more and more uneasy.He originally thought that everything was under his control, but after the actual conflict and confrontation with Zhang Xuan, he realized that everything was out of control, and he seemed to be led by the nose by Zhang Xuan, and the situation was very bad.

At this time, even if he is a pig head, he can tell that his subordinate Jingzhao Mansion Shao Yin Malu must have "turned his back on the spot", and judging by the posture, the son of Gongsun Liang, the minister of the Ministry of War, was also taken down by Zhang Xuan.

If this matter is really settled by Zhang Xuan with thunderous means, Zhang Qing will definitely be unable to bear it.And he himself also wants to eat dried noodles.

However, Zhang Qing is the younger brother of Zhang Liangdi, and he is the speaker of the Zhang family, a relative of the state, and the leader of the "princelings". What can Zhang Xuan do with himself?At most Li Heng reprimanded him, even exempted himself from his salary for a few months, and then punished Zhang Qing slightly, which gave Zhang Xuan enough face, and the matter was over.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiyong's restless heart was much more at ease.It's just that in this confrontation, he was completely defeated, and his face and authority were greatly damaged. I'm afraid it can't be "repaired" in a short time.Zhang Jiyong felt endless shame because of this, and the resentment towards Zhang Xuan in his heart increased a bit.

Looking around, Zhang Jiyong saw many courtiers enthusiastically toasting to Zhang Xuan, making him feel even more uncomfortable, but at this moment he dared not say anything more, he had already noticed that there was a trace of Li Heng's gaze towards him. Warning and stern.

Three rounds of wine.

A eunuch stood at the entrance of the hall and reported in a high voice: "Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Malu has an audience!"

The uproar in the hall immediately subsided, Li Heng gathered himself together, and said loudly, "Xuan!"

Malu walked into the palace with a little nervousness. If it wasn't for this case, a middle- and lower-level official like him might not have the opportunity to enter the palace hall.

Under the focus of everyone's eyes, Ma Lu hurried to the arena, and knelt down facing Li Heng.

"Chen Jingzhao's Shaoyin Malu pays his respects to His Highness!"

Li Heng smiled lightly, "Stay flat, let me ask you."

"Yes." Malu got up and stood there with his head bowed, with a respectful expression.

Zhang Jiyong cast his angry eyes over, Malu's heart trembled, but he pretended not to see anything.Since he chose to invest in Zhang Xuan, there is no room for turning back.

"Have you ever investigated the case of Li Tengkong kicking Zhang Qing?" Li Heng waved his hand.

……

……

The matter is so important, how dare Ma Lu neglect it, if the case is not resolved and Zhang Jiyong finds a flaw, he will die without a place to bury him.

Ma Lu reported the case to Li Heng in detail, and brought along Gongsun Xiaoke, Li Xiu, the old bustard of Pingkangfang Yihong Courtyard, a guard next to Gongsun Xiaoke, and Zhang Qing's other friend, the son of Shi Qing, the imperial historian. The confession of Shi Yu and others, as well as the contract signed by Gongsun Xiaoke and Shi Yu signed by Zhang Qing and Li Xiu, Ma Lu even summoned a slave in the Zhang family through some channels, and tortured him Under the circumstances, the confession of this person was also obtained.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, and sufficient facts prove that Zhang Qing maliciously conspired to seize other people's concubines first, and then molested Yongning Wang's concubine.

Zhang Jiyong became furious and reprimanded loudly, "Malu, you dare to slander this official, concoct a fake case, plant a frame to frame the emperor's relatives, you should be punished for your crime!"
