After the Zhang family and his son left the Liu Mansion, Zhang Chen sent Zhang Zhong to search for him in the city, and he chose a place called the Great Wall Inn to live there.
Everyone in the Zhang family lives in superior housing.
The servants of the Zhang family were crowded into the lower-class rooms.
After settling down, Zhang Zhong came to Zhang Chen's room and asked solemnly: "Father, what should we do now."
The original plan naturally fell through.
He also fell out with Liu Zhixing. Zhang Zhong knew Liu Zhixing, but he just lost his affection and there would be no future trouble.
But people have to survive.
Although the Zhang family lost their ancestral property, they were not poor. When they fled, they took a lot of gold and silver with them.
When he arrived in Chudu, Zhang Chen was taken care of by his disciples who were serving as officials in the court or who had also fled to Chudu, so he had no worries about food and clothing.
Zhang Chen's statement that he wanted to use silver to buy back his ancestral property was not an empty talk.
Ancestry is one thing.
It's one thing to sit back and eat nothing.
For the Han people, it means settling down and relocating. The Zhang family without land is like a tree without roots, and those who are wandering are also sitting on nothing.
Although Zhang Zhong is middle-aged, he is still very frightened.
Zhang Chen also felt troubled, although he was upset for a while and felt happy for a while. I am not a beggar, and I will never accept gifts from others, even from my disciples.
But after feeling better, he still had to accept daily necessities.
And this matter became more and more intense in his heart. Endless frustration impacted his mental turmoil.
Zhang Chen said angrily: "I don't deny that the King of Han was a wise king for a while. But he can't do this. He is not even allowed to buy back his ancestral property."
"It's really unkind. No. This matter can't be left alone. I remember that this time many people returned to Liaodong from Chudu or other places."
"Although we escaped, we did not surrender to the Mongolians. The King of Han cannot do this to us. The ancestral property should be returned to us. You go and contact us, and then write to the King of Han to petition. I don't believe it. The King of Han is really so unkind."
national policy?
National policy is also inseparable from human feelings.
What happens if we want to return to our ancestral property?
This is our ancestral heritage.
Zhang Zhong's face changed drastically when he heard this. He didn't want to talk about it. If it doesn't go well, the whole family might be beheaded.
"Father, Zhixing has said this, which means that the division of military merit is a thunder pool. You can't do it in a thunder pool." Zhang Zhong calmed down and urged with clasped fists.
"Go quickly." Zhang Chen glared at Zhang Zhong and said loudly.
"Yes." Zhang Zhong's father was in trouble, so he had no choice but to respond.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhong went around to contact people.
However, things soon came to light.
morning.
The sun is getting stronger and the weather is hot.
The heavily guarded and magnificent harem.
In Liu Xiang's bedroom. This huge bedroom is a paradise for children.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang's two sons, the prince Wu Yu and the second son Wu Ting, both studied under the prince Shaofu. But Wu Nian did not let them study hard, but focused on martial arts and playing.
When playing, my son's clear laughter can often be heard in the bedroom.
Just like today.
Wu Nian's visit to the bedrooms of Li Jinzhu, Eqin and Eniang was driven more by desire. Coming to Liu Xiang's bedroom, there was warmth.
The couple were talking in the bedroom. Liu Xiang was very happy listening to her sons' laughter. But he was also a little worried. He raised his head and said to Wu Nian: "Brother, this prince of another family studies hard every day. He is afraid of falling into mediocrity. Is there really no problem with Yu'er playing like this?"
Wu Nian didn't take it seriously, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Compared to reading, I want to read a lot of books. I hope to give my sons a relaxed childhood. This is conducive to their healthy physical and mental growth."
"Playing is necessary. Playing is the nature of children and should be a stage that everyone must go through. When you grow up and become an adult, it will be difficult to have innocent play again."
When reading, concentrate on reading.
When you play, focus on playing.
Wu Nian remembered that when he was a child, he studied day and night. Although the sons were so young, they found the prince and the young master.
But we don’t want them to follow in our footsteps.
"Yes." Liu Xiang had no opinion and responded softly. Then she happily apologized and went back to the palace. When she came back, she was holding a lot of clothes, which almost blocked her sight.
After arriving in front of Wu Nian, she said as if she was offering a treasure: "Brother, I made you a lot of clothes for the four seasons."
The queen can't stay idle either.
In addition to visiting her concubines and caring for her son, Liu Xiang also cared about her husband and often went to the imperial garden to take care of the flowers and plants.
She is not like a queen, but just an ordinary housewife.
Moreover, Wu Nian’s clothes couldn’t fit in the wardrobe.
But although there were many concubines in the harem, Wu Nian still loved her the most.
Wu Nian quickly showed a happy face and said: "Xiang'er still feels sorry for me. It's just Xiang'er. This needlework hurts your eyes, so you have to take good care of yourself, be careful not to damage your eyes."
Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian and said, "Brother, you are looking down on me. My parents were still here and busy with farm work. I sewed all your clothes, and I repaired them if they were torn."
"I was only eight or nine years old at that time. I can't remember clearly."
"But my eyes have always been fine and I'm not afraid."
She is a filial person, but Wu's father and Wu's mother have passed away many years ago. She occasionally gets sad, but most of the time she looks away.
"Okay. I said the wrong thing." Wu Nian stretched out his hand and stroked the back of Liu Xiang's head as if he were a child.
Her hair is tied up in a majestic bun, and her head is covered with beads, which is beyond words. But he showed a cat-like expression, enjoying Wu Nian's touch, and his happiness was visible to the naked eye.
The two were enjoying a tender moment when an eunuch broke in at an inappropriate time, bowed and saluted Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers, Mr. Wang from the Inspectorate, and Mr. Chen from the Imperial City Department are asking for an audience."
Wu Nian showed a serious expression. This combination shows that things are not simple. Cabinet ministers handle administrative matters, and the Inspectorate handles supervision.
It was already unusual for four people, Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, and Wang Youxiao, to seek an audience together, let alone Chen Jiagui, the intelligence chief of the Imperial City Division?
Something big has happened.
Liu Xiang looked at the eunuch and straightened her posture in embarrassment.
Although she knew he was a eunuch, a man's face was still a man's face.
She was shy to be gentle with her brother in front of the eunuch.
"Ask them to go to Dexing Pavilion and wait. We will be here soon." Wu Nian raised his head and said.
"Yes." The eunuch responded, turned around and went down. Wu Nian was about to say sorry to Liu Xiang, but Liu Xiang stretched out his little hand to push Wu Nian and said considerately: "Brother, national affairs are important, you go quickly."
"Yes. Come back soon. I'll stay at your place tonight." Wu Nian hummed and pinched Liu Xiang's cheek with a smile.
Liu Xiangxiafei rolled her cheeks, rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, and looked shyly at the surrounding eunuchs and maids.
The eunuchs and maids looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, but they were filled with emotion in their hearts.
The relationship between the King of Han and the Queen is really good.
