"Before taking office, I was having a banquet at Yunyu Tower. I heard someone said that Lu Sima was hosting a banquet for the prince at Xuanchang Tower, so I hurried over. When I went downstairs, I asked the Madam to borrow nine jars of fine wine, Yun Ye, and nine maids... …No, the maids were not borrowed from the madam. When the official arrived downstairs, they were already waiting..."
Standing downstairs in Xuanchang, with the cold wind blowing, Shen Zhuang's face was extremely embarrassed. How could he still not understand that he was being plotted against?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhuang immediately raised his hands to Li Xuan in fear: "I am a lowly official, so please forgive me!"
Murdering the clan, such a crime would really be thrown at the head, let alone Shen Zhuang, even the entire Yangzhou Shen family would not be able to bear it.
What's more, everyone from the Lu family, Wang family, Meng family, and Xu family are here tonight. After they go back, who knows whether they will take advantage of this to add insult to injury.
Under the bright moon, Shen Zhuang's face became more and more twitching.
"Shen Canjun should leave first." Li Xuan shook his head calmly, and then looked at Yangzhou Bing Cao Canjun Wang Zhe: "Brother Wang, please send someone to mobilize troops to escort me back to the post house. And everyone, you You also need to be more careful on the way home."
Tonight, ever since Shen Zhuang suddenly appeared, Li Xuan has been watching his every move.
It can be clearly seen that Shen Zhuang drank a lot of wine before coming to Xuanchang Tower, and his eyes were bloodshot.
That's why he came to Xuanchang Tower so rashly and went crazy.
There are indeed many reasons for this that were instigated by others, but more often than not, he himself deliberately used alcohol to go crazy and vent his dissatisfaction towards Li Xuan.
Wait until the next day, apologize again in the name of being drunk, give him a bunch of gifts, and then start a relationship.
It's just a trick used by aristocratic families.
As for the maids just now, the Shen family is not nearby. Who would take their own maids out after drinking so much wine.
If she is just a maid at home, she can give it away, but if she is a maid in a brothel, or even a prostitute, Li Xuan still thinks of honoring the emperor every day. Such things, regardless of whether they are true or false, as long as there is When rumors spread to the capital, not only the emperor, but also the Liu family would skin him first.
What's more, are those handmaids really just simple handmaids?
Today's banquet is far from simple as it seems.
Shen Zhuang naturally understood Li Xuan's worries. He watched Wang Zhe turn around and left. He was about to call Wang Zhe, but suddenly thought that no matter what he did now, he would be suspected, so he simply gave it up: "It's Shen Zhuang's fault tonight." If you are too rude, I will come to apologize tomorrow."
After saying that, Shen Zhuang turned around and walked away neatly.
Today, no matter what he says or does, he will arouse suspicion, but what happened tonight cannot be ignored no matter what.
Shen Zhuang will not let those who instigate him secretly, want to offend the king of Nanchang County, or even have the idea of assassinating the king and killing him.
The Shen family is the first in Yangzhou, so how can it be so easy to offend?
If those people really have the intention to assassinate the King of Nanchang, and he immediately raids their lair, then no matter whether the King of Nanchang lives or dies in the future, he will have a reason to evade.
I suffered such a big loss tonight, there is always something to make up for. ….
A Yunyu Pavilion is just enough.
Li Xuan didn't care about Shen Zhuang's caution. Whether the Shen family would be wiped out in one fell swoop or whether they would use their best efforts would depend on how deeply they were involved in these matters.
The Shen family, the largest family in Yangzhou, was suddenly ostracized by other aristocratic families in Yangzhou. Some of the things they did somewhat aroused public outrage.
Some of the details here are worth pondering!
"I remember General Shen said that the young master is related to the Zhang family. Is the Yongchang residence related to the Zhang family?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, her eyes falling directly on Liang Fu.
The expressions of other people present were a little strange. At this time, Liang, who had red lips and white teeth, stepped forward and said with a respectful expression: "Reporting to the prince, in the early years, my father arranged a marriage between the boy and the Zhang family. Next year, the two families will be married." There will be a wedding."
Li Xuan was a little surprised for a moment. He didn't
Thinking that Liang Fu, who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, was actually fourteen years old.
"How can the Zhang family threaten the status of the Shen family?" Li Xuan turned to look at Lu Yuanfang.
The Shen family was descended from the Wuxing Shen family anyway. Although it had been in decline since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, at least there was still one governor in office. The Zhang family was inferior to the Shen family in officialdom.
"The Zhang family of Yangzhou comes from the Zhang family of Wuxing, so Zhang Gong Houyin, the official of Jin Ziguanglu, comes from the Zhang family of Wuxing. Now in the court, the Prime Minister Zhang Tongshi of Taichang Temple, the lawyer Zhang of Sizhou Sima, etc. are all the sons of Zhang Gong." Take a moment. After a pause, Lu Yuanfang continued: "The Yangzhou Zhang family has only risen in Yangzhou in the past twenty years. His family Zhang Ji is the captain of Zuo Guoyi of Xinlin Prefecture. He is a humble man. In recent years, the Zhang family has been involved in silk, tea, cloth, and ivory. Rhinoceros horn and other maritime trade.”
When Lu Yuanfang said this, Li Xuan understood immediately.
Although the Shen family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou, the Zhang family is not inferior to them. They have the same status and background, and they are also important generals in Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou today.
Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office has four major jurisdictions: Zhechong Prefecture, Xinlin Prefecture, Dahuang Prefecture, Hanjiang Prefecture, and Ngee'an Prefecture.
Only Xinlin Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion are located in Yangzhou itself, and Hanjiang Mansion is where the navy is located and has always been directly controlled by the Dudu Mansion.
"Who are you, Shi Jin, the captain of Zhechong in Xinlin Mansion?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke and stared at Liang Fu.
The Zhechong Mansion has always been headed by Captain Zhechong, with one captain each on the left and right, Captain Guoyi, one each for General Bie, Chang Shi, and Bingcao Canjun.
"It's my uncle!" Liang Fu quickly handed over his hand and explained, "My uncle worked under my grandfather in his early years, and later they got married."
Liang Fu's grandfather was Liang Yan, the founding Duke of Chiang Kai-shek.
Liang Yan served as the governor of Shazhou in the former Sui Dynasty. During his tenure, he used both intimidation and comfort, and the Hu people respected him. The border was peaceful and he was named the Duke of Shangzhu.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Liang Yan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of Jiang. He continued to serve as the governor of Shazhou and guard the frontier.
The sandbank is Dunhuang.
Yangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, Zhechong Duwei Shi Jin's father was Panchao, the founding official of Hulun County. During the Yonghui period, he served as Xinlin Prefecture's cavalry general, Zhechong Duwei.
Liang Fu's father, Yongchang Bo Liang Ming, in addition to inheriting the title, was also a Wu Sanguan of General Ningyuan, so he was a good match.
However, in the next generation, there were only a few people in the family. Instead, Zhang Ji, the captain of Zuo Guoyi, got married to Yongchang Bofu in order to attach himself to Shi Jin. ….
"Tonight, he is here for you." Li Xuan took a deep look at Liang Fu. Sure enough, there was a hint of green in his eyes, and compared to others, his nose bridge was higher and his eye sockets were deeper.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it seems that it does have a touch of exotic style.
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Where are the guards at your home? Let them take you back, but be careful on the way."
Liang Fu looked around subconsciously, and finally said with an ugly expression: "The guards at home were still here before, but now they are missing for some reason."
"Your Majesty, could it be that Shen Canjun gave it to..." Yu Ze whispered in Li Xuan's ear. Li Xuan was noncommittal and looked at the others present: "One of you should send him back tonight, otherwise something will happen. , no one can afford it.”
After all, Liang Fu came with the others. Although there were guards around him, it was not the guards who asked him to come to this banquet.
Hearing what Li Xuan said, everyone present subconsciously looked at Meng Qingzhi. In fact, Meng Qingzhi invited everyone here today.
Meng Qingran was a little stunned for a moment, but he only hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said: "Liang... As a good brother, I will take you back."
Meng Qingran said, waving to the back, and four guards in gray robes immediately came out of the darkness.
"You two together?" Li Xuan frowned slightly. It would be no problem if four guards escorted one person, but if something happened to escort two people, it would be a bit difficult.
At this time, a black carriage came quickly from a distance and arrived in front of Meng Qingran. A middle-aged man in his thirties jumped out of the carriage and said directly to Meng Qingran: "Master Sun, the old lady is sick. I want you to come here." Return home immediately."
"Ah!" Meng Qingran suddenly looked stunned.
, what is going on? He looked at Li Xuan subconsciously.
"In this case, Brother Meng, please go home first. Things at home are the most important." Li Xuan nodded, then looked at the other people present and said, "Everyone, please go home first, so as not to worry about everything at home. So, I am the only one who can send Brother Liang Xian back to his uncle’s residence.”
Why couldn't Li Xuan see that in order to set him up tonight, I'm afraid everything had been arranged.
But they are well prepared, isn't Li Xuan well prepared? .
