Chapter 307

Chapter 315 Ingenious plan to save Du Fu
If so, this matter is a bit troublesome.

Yang Guozhong was determined to get rid of Du Fu, and his attitude was very firm.It seems that it is not worthwhile for King Yongning and Yang Xiang to turn against each other for a mere official...

Ma Lu's thoughts flashed, but he accompanied Zhang Xuan into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion without changing his face.

After serving tea in the main hall, Zhang Xuan chatted casually with Ma Lu, then smiled and said, "My lord, I have heard Du Zi's beautiful poems for a long time, he is unique, and has a noble character. I am here today, and I want to meet this man." At first sight, I wonder if Mr. Ma can be accommodating?"

Malu smiled bitterly.

Xindao Du Fu was called by Yang Guozhong as "rebellious, rebellious, reckless, harboring mischievous intentions and despicable intentions", but in the mouth of Yongning King, he became "a poetic talent with peerless character and noble character". Isn't this difficult to do?

"My lord, the prison is gloomy and dirty, wait for the humble official to send someone to bring Du Zimei to the hall, and meet my lord!"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and nodded, "That's fine, the king is waiting here, and Lord Lao Ma is here."

Malu left in a hurry and ordered someone to bring Du Fu out of the prison.

For Du Fu, the literary inquisition this time was almost a sudden disaster.

When he was young, Du Fu traveled all over the world, met Li Bai twice, talked about poetry, and forged a deep friendship.When he came to Chang'an during the Tianbao period, he had no way to become an official. After struggling for many years, he got the small post of Cao Canjun, the commander of the right guard.Depressed and frustrated, the mood can be imagined.

In addition to answering errands all day long, I just entertain myself by drinking and composing poems.This song "Beautiful People" was composed after drinking last month, and it was accidentally passed on by friends.He was secretly framed by the villain again, and this is why he is in prison today.

Du Fu is sitting quietly in prison. For a resolute scribe like him, a little prison disaster does not make him panic.He has already prepared for the worst mentally, it is nothing more than a death, it is better to die than to spend his dying years as a petty official like this.

"Du Zimei, there is a nobleman who wants to see you, so hurry up and wash your face and freshen up." The cell boss said impatiently outside the cell door.

Du Fu was startled, thinking that a certain family has fallen into this situation, does anyone still want to see me?

He slowly got up and walked out of the cell, behind him was the constant urging and cursing from the cell boss.

After washing his face and combing his hair in the gatehouse of the big prison, Du Fu followed the guards out of the big prison of Jingzhao Mansion and walked towards the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion.

Outside the main hall, Malu stood with his head held high, looking down at Du Fu.

Du Fu heaved a sigh of relief, bowed down and bowed down, "Du Fu pays homage to Lord Yin Ma of Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Get up, because you are of the same line of gentleness, I will not make it difficult for you. Today, King Yongning came to the mansion to see you. You should be respectful and respectful, and don't offend the prince." Malu said After finishing, he took a deep look at Du Fu and motioned him to follow into the hall.

Entering the hall, Du Fu glanced at Zhang Xuan hastily, but he didn't dare to look any more, knelt silently on the ground, and said loudly, "Du Fu pays homage to King Yongning!"

Zhang Xuan remained silent and just looked at Du Fu.

I saw that he was about forty years old, with a yellow and thin face and a haggard appearance. If it weren't for the energy in his bones to support him, Zhang Xuan could hardly believe that this was Du Fu, the poet sage who was as famous as Li Bai in later generations.

As a literati, compared with Li Bai, who was devoted to profligacy and talent, Du Fu was more concerned about the country and the people, showing his true qualities as a gentleman.In Zhang Xuan's heart, Du Fu's status is far higher than Li Bai's.In terms of poetic talent, Du Fu may be slightly inferior, but in terms of character, Du Fu is a bit higher than Li Bai.

"Du Zimei, you are so brave. You dare to write poems to mock Yang Xiang and the three wives. Now that you have caused a catastrophe, what else can you say?"

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Ma Lu who was watching was taken aback, thinking why did King Yongning change his face again?Just now he obviously admired Du Fu very much, but now his words seem to be...

Du Fu's heart trembled, he slowly raised his head to look at Zhang Xuan, his face was reddish, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Returning to the prince, Du Fu is just discussing things and writing poems to entertain himself, and he has no intention of being disrespectful to Mr. The prince is clear!"

Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "You still dare to quibble? The poems are so precise, right in front of your eyes, even if you are eloquent, you will still be able to get away with serious crimes. Have you ever regretted it?"

"Du Fu has no regrets. Du Fu is high-spirited between heaven and earth, and he asks himself that he is standing upright. Since it is an innocent disaster, he has nothing to say." Although Du Fu's voice was deep and sad, he was calm and unhurried.

"What joy is there in life, and why is there any fear in death?" Du Fu sighed, knelt on the ground and bowed his hands to Zhang Xuan, "At most one death is all. Ruoyi died."

"What joy is there in such a life and what fear is there in death!" Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, and suddenly stood up and leaned over to help Du Fu up, "Please, Mr. Du, Mr. Zhang Mouwen has been famous for a long time, and now Come see me."

Du Fu looked at Zhang Xuan in shock, his expression changed, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Mr. Zhang Xuan feels the same way about his poems." Zhang Xuan softly groaned, "Mr. is concerned about the country and the people. He is chivalrous, gentle and scholarly, and seriously ill. It is very admirable."

Du Fu hurriedly bowed and bowed again, "Du Fu dare not be a prince because of his high reputation."

"Mr. is high-spirited, talented and virtuous. He is also a celebrity in the court. You don't have to be overly humble." Zhang Xuan smiled and sat down with Du Fu hand in hand, "Zhang is here today, and I'm here to offer you a plan to get out of trouble."

There was a flash of light in Du Fu's eyes. Although he was not afraid of death, he didn't want to die either.Otherwise, he wouldn't have written poems to the dignitaries of the dynasty over and over again to ask for recommendation.

"My lord, please save me!" Du Fu got up and bowed down.

Zhang Xuan glanced back at Malu, smiled slightly, "Master Ma, please prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

Malu smiled awkwardly, and turned around to ask for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

He is considered one of Zhang Xuan's confidants in the court, and Zhang Xuan does not shy away from him for some things, which can be regarded as a kind of trust.Malu is well aware of this, so he naturally has his own opinion.

Zhang Xuanfu went over and whispered something in Du Fu's ear, Du Fu's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly.

Not long after, the servants brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Du Fu got up and bowed to Zhang Xuan first, then stood in front of the desk and pondered for a while, and wrote a "Fu on Persuading Jin" with a brush.

The general idea is that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Jianguo, is wise and martial, and his martial arts and martial arts are not inferior to the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and the current Majesty. Now the old emperor is sick and ignores state affairs. The world, and so on.

After all, Du Fu is a master of poetry and prose, and he doesn't worry about selling what he has in his belly.This Fu is also related to his wealth, life and future, so how can he not go all out.Therefore, this Fu is magnificent, full of literary talent, well-founded, and highly praised Li Heng.

In less than half an hour, Du Fu put down his pen and presented it to Zhang Xuan with both hands, "My lord, please advise."

Zhang Xuan took a look, and laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, very good. Mr. Du, you should wait at Jingzhao Mansion until the king enters the palace to meet His Highness... Another day, the king will be in the palace Host a banquet to wash away the dust of injustice for Mister!"

Du Fu was so grateful that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty's kindness, Du Fu is inexplicably grateful, beyond words!"

At this point, Ma Lu finally understood what Zhang Xuan was going to do.He wanted to save Du Fu, but he didn't want to confront Yang Guozhong head-on, so he came up with such a clever plan.

Du Fu was originally a celebrity, and Du Fu drafted a prose prose, and then Zhang Xuan presented a persuasive prose, and presented it in public, how could Li Heng be extremely unhappy?In this way, if Li Heng issued an edict to pardon Du Fu, Yang Guozhong would have nothing to say.

This is not some kind of deep hatred, how can he hold on to it?

……

……

Zhang Xuan returned to the mansion with Du Fu's "Fu Jin" written by him. He said that he wanted to go to the palace to meet Li Heng, but he was not in a hurry.We have to wait until the next year to discuss this matter. As for Du Fu, Malu is a smart man. Although Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, he knew what to do.

No matter how great the pressure from Yang Guozhong is, he can still delay the case for a few days.Moreover, it is the Spring Festival now, how could Yang Guozhong have so much energy to continue to follow up and pay attention to this case.

Yongning Prince's Mansion was full of joy, the whole mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the New Year's atmosphere was already very heavy.Compared with the happy atmosphere of Prince Yongning's mansion, Zhang Liangdi's natal Zhang's mansion is full of gloom and mist.

Zhang Jiyong was dismissed from office, and now he is ordered by Li Heng to contemplate behind closed doors.Zhang Qing had just been exiled back to his hometown. Although his life was safe, it was a serious blow to the prestige of the Zhang family.

Zhang Jiyong had some activities in his mind at first, and was planning to find an opportunity to make a comeback, but Zhang Xuan immediately took down Dali Temple Minister Han Jianliang, which undoubtedly gave Zhang Jiyong another blow to the head.

What happened to her natal family also made Zhang Liangdi lose face in the palace, and recently she was extremely depressed, leaving the palace and returning to live in her natal home.And Li Heng was busy with his ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor on the Shangyuan Festival, so he couldn't take care of her.

Zhang's living room.

The old lady Dou looked at her listless granddaughter, frowned, and said, "My dear granddaughter, you should go back to the palace to serve the prince. The prince is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. If you alienate the prince, the queen's seat... ..."

Zhang Liangdi was shocked suddenly, "Master Grandmother, I..."

"Good granddaughter, as long as you can become the queen, our Zhang family will not be able to fall. And it won't be long before this child, Jiyong, will be able to join the cabinet again. As for your younger brother, whether you can return to Chang'an is not a matter of the emperor's words." It's about...you have to distinguish between the important and the important."

The old Mrs. Dou's is indeed an old lady, and she went straight to the point with an understatement.Immediately a word awakened the dreamer, Zhang Liangdi hurriedly got up and went to dress up, then rushed back to the palace, and went straight to Li Heng's bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, Zhang Liangdi stood at the gate of the palace and glanced at the two eunuchs guarding the gate, and said calmly, "Your Highness is in the palace?"

Li Heng didn't have a regular wife, this Liang Di was equivalent to a crown princess, and might become a queen in the future.The two eunuchs did not dare to neglect, and immediately bowed and replied, "His Highness is reviewing the memorial in the study."
