Early next morning.
Outside the west city, there is Changfeng Pavilion.
Zhang Yuhang had people waiting here early in the morning. Today was the day when his third brother was leaving for a long journey, so he had to come personally to see him off.
After his own reasonable persuasion and the personal arrangements of Yongchang Hou, Zhang Yifeng's road to becoming an official was completely paved.
Southern border, Tianshui County.
He is an ordinary magistrate of Sishui County under his command. This is a position that Zhang Yifeng actively requested.
Originally, with his current status, being a small county magistrate was a bit unworthy, but now he has made up his mind to really go deep into the people. Only in this way can he truly accumulate enough experience in governing.
Otherwise, with his status, although he is not enough to be the governor of a county, the position of the second-level county magistrate is more than enough.
However, time was urgent. The current person could truly take charge of the political power of a place and benefit the people. This was his pursuit. Therefore, through deliberate operation, the matter had come to an end.
"Yuhang, why are you here?"
A group of horse-drawn carriages were driving on the road in the distance. Zhang Yifeng, who had already seen Zhang Yuhang waiting here, saw Zhang Yifeng and rode his horse directly to the outside of the pavilion without any hesitation.
Zhang Yuhang cupped his hands and said: "My brother is going to Sishui County today to take up a post. I should come to see him off because of both emotion and reason." '
After saying hello, the two sat opposite each other on the round stools in the pavilion.
Zhang Yifeng smiled heartily and said: "I didn't see you in the capital today. I thought you didn't care about my brother."
"That's okay." Zhang Yuhang smiled slightly: "It's just that the Yongchang Marquis must have made appropriate arrangements for my brother's trip. You still need to say goodbye this morning. I don't want to see those people, so I am waiting here again. I hope your brother won't be surprised. "
Zhang Yifeng looked directly at Zhang Yuhang when he heard this. He heard his younger brother's dissatisfaction with the Hou Mansion from these words, and immediately said bluntly: "After all, he is our father, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, our master, even though he did some things No, but as sons, we can’t hold a grudge against him because of this, do you understand this?”
Zhang Yuhang was silent. He couldn't even say he hated his father, because he had never received a trace of tenderness from him, not even love, so how could there be hatred.
To say yes, he just felt guilty for his mother. Even if he was a concubine, he would give his mother a title so that her spiritual tablet could be placed in the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion.
No matter what justice, what reason, what bullshit rules, when it comes to his mother, it's like the ending with Xingyong Hou Mansion, no one can stop him.
But at this moment, facing his brother's advice, he didn't want him to worry, so he immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, I understand."
"Okay, since you know it well, let's not say more. You and I, brothers, will meet again in Kyoto another day. We are going as brothers."
No matter what happens in the future, Zhang Yifeng still cares about his younger brother very much in his heart, but sometimes he is caught between his father and younger brother and it's hard for him to say anything.
"Brother, wait a minute."
Zhang Yuhang called out to his brother who was about to leave, then turned to Bai Zhan and said, "Bring the things up."
Bai Zhan turned to his carriage and brought two jars of wine directly up.
"Could this be the Tianwu wine that was so popular in Kyoto yesterday?"
Zhang Yifeng looked at the wine jar in front of him in surprise. This wine had been manipulated by King Kang yesterday and made the whole city aware of it. However, this wine will not be officially sold for three days. No one can get the wine now.
Originally, based on his relationship with Xie Yongling, it was okay to want some of this wine, but he just fell out with Xie Yongling...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yifeng looked at Zhang Yuhang in disbelief and said, "How did you get this wine?"
Zhang Yuhang casually took two wine glasses from Bai Zhan's hand, opened the cloth cover on the wine jar, and gently poured the wine into the glasses.
He picked up a cup in his hand and handed it to Zhang Yifeng.
Zhang Yifeng took the wine glass blankly, and Zhang Yuhang touched it directly with the glass.
Then he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifeng also poured strong alcohol into his throat.
hot!
Then the whole chest felt like it was on fire.
Cool!
That energy made him feel a little happy.
But compared to these, he was more curious about this matter. Something seemed to be wrong. This was his first feeling.
"You haven't told me the answer yet?"
"To be precise, this wine does not belong to King Kang."
"What?"
"This wine is mine, and I am the real owner of it."
Zhang Yuhang's words were light and airy, but in Zhang Yifeng's ears, they were like shaking the world.
"Then you want me to go find Xie Yongling to investigate the conspiracy against the elder of the Liu family?"
"I arranged it carefully. I set up the whole thing myself. The purpose was to ruin the Liu family's reputation first. Xie Yongling was just cooperating with me."
"Then this wine is said to belong to His Royal Highness Prince Kang. It is even called Tianwu, and Wu is the emperor's surname."
"What's so strange about this, because the biggest behind-the-scenes controller of this wine is not Mr. Xie, let alone Prince Kang, but His Majesty. I was able to successfully serve as a son-in-law and take office as Supervisor of Tiansi Baihu because of this wine. After opening up the relationship with His Majesty, I will give His Majesty a golden feast, Your Majesty just gives me a chance."
Zhang Yifeng originally thought that his younger brother had surprised him enough, but what he learned today made him feel even more confused.
His younger brother actually did business with His Majesty and plotted against the people of his own palace. What on earth did he want to do?
Zhang Yuhang saw his third brother's expression and asked, "Why, third brother, are you surprised?"
surprise?
Co-author I know this, but I still have to calm down?
"I want to know why you did this?"
Zhang Yifeng opened his mouth slightly, but no matter what, he knew that something must have happened to his younger brother, otherwise he would not be like this.
Zhang Yuhang did not immediately answer his third brother's words, but turned around and looked at the mighty motorcade in front of him, speechless for a moment.
The morning sun is rising in the sky, and the first ray of sunshine today shines on this ancient intestinal road.
"Xie Yongling once asked me this question, but I didn't tell him, and I won't tell you today either..."
Zhang Yifeng said anxiously: "I..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Yuhang: "Third brother, I know what you mean. I am telling you these things today not for anything else, but to prove to you, brother, that I have the ability to protect myself.
Don't worry about me. From now on, don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself and the people around you. That's enough. "
Looking at the third brother who went out of his way to support him in front of the old lady before leaving, Zhang Yuhang felt mixed emotions in his heart. Compared to the world, this person was his only flaw.
But after this separation, he will no longer be his weakness.
This separation is the beginning of farewell.
His dreams, his hatred, and his ambitions will all come to an end at this moment.
Zhang Yifeng didn't say anything after all. Facing his younger brother, he had no way to speak, and he couldn't speak anymore.
The morning sun was rising, and the morning light shone on everyone. Bathed in light, they walked back.
