Chang'an Fu

Chapter 73

Li Yu guessed right, Zhang Chengyou just came out of the palace and met the envoy who came to invite him to the Grand Prince's Mansion

"Master Zhang may be used to living with my second brother?" Li Yan's house was already filled with all kinds of delicacies, and Li Yu was also present at the banquet.

Seeing Zhang Chengyou coming, Li Yan immediately stepped forward to say hello, "I was in the early court when Mr. Zhang entered Chang'an, so I asked my second brother to pick me up. I was far away from welcoming him. No, I made some side dishes for my lord immediately after court." Take the wind and wash away the dust!"

"The eldest prince is polite." Zhang Chengyou looked at Li Yan's forward figure and took a step back.

Noticing this action, Li Yan sat back in embarrassment

"Please sit down, Mr. Zhang!"

After everyone was seated, Li Yan changed the topic, of course he was talking to someone in Zhang Cheng

"Master Zhang, what do you think of the current political situation?"

"Although the foreign enemies have not been completely wiped out, they have calmed down a lot. Now that my emperor is strong and healthy, I think Bianliang will be even more prosperous!"

Li Yan didn't know if he was telling the truth or just playing sloppy with himself, so he spoke more bluntly

"This time, the prince specifically asked his father for an order to transfer Mr. Zhang to Chang'an. Mr. Zhang must be a smart person. You understand what I mean."

He has talked about this point, if Zhang Chengyou still doesn't understand, then he is a fool

"Naturally! Didn't I already express my intention by sitting here?"

Zhang Chengyou was sitting opposite Li Yu, he was facing Li Yu when he said this, and then looked at Li Yan

Apparently Li Yan didn't notice this point. Seeing Zhang Chengyou's attitude, he was in a good mood. He picked up the wine glass on the table as if he was going to have a few drinks with him before enjoying himself.

Li Yu seems to have nothing to do with this scene, but he seems to be in it, but at this moment he just wants to be a spectator

Within two days after Zhang Chengyou came to Chang'an, Guo Ye's reply also fell into Li Yu's hands.

Judging from the content of his letter, things are going very smoothly. The specific plot will be explained in detail when he brings people with him. Li Yu counted the days. He had already set off when he sent this letter. , presumably Guo is also coming soon

Everything was as Li Yu predicted, Guo arrived the day after the letter was delivered, but this time he brought more than one person, as well as Liu Ruyan!

"Senior brother!" Seeing Li Yu and Liu Ruyan in a very good mood, I originally wanted to scare him, but I couldn't help but jumped out from behind Guo Ye

Although Li Yu did not specify in the letter why she was asked to come, but she knew that once Li Yu asked her to come to Chang'an, there must be something important, so she rushed to Chang'an without stopping the next day after receiving the letter.

"Xiao Cheng, take Ruyan down. You can talk to her about what I told you earlier, and I'll make specific arrangements then!" Although Li Yu was happy that Liu Ruyan came over, he had more important things to do at the moment, so he took the It is the best choice for Ruyan Liu to hand over to Xiao Cheng

"I went to the north to see, and the general over there has become Sima Xiangru, but at present there are all Gu's troops, without the general's military order and tiger charm, they will not obey orders. The Huns are still from our side, and the emperor will not believe the confession given, but I was lucky to meet the villagers stationed in the north."

As he said that, Guo Ye moved closer to Li Yu's ear and said, "This person is one of the small gang in Tatamu."

Li Yu had heard about Tatamu's deeds before, but now that he saw Tatamu's former partner, he couldn't help but look at it

For long-term nomadic idlers who are used to being uninhibited, how could they bear Li Yu's scrutiny?

"What are you looking at!"

Guo also stopped immediately, "This is the second prince of Bianliang, he asked me to find you, to save the general!"

Hearing this, the man's hostile eyes narrowed.

"I'm here to repay the general's favor, but Tatamu is my brother, and I can't speak ill of him, I just

Tell the truth! "

Li Yu didn't ask too many questions about this person, he believed in Guo Ye and hoped that Gu Huai would be fine, no less eager than himself

"Since the person has been brought here, I'll take care of the rest! Go back and wait for the news!"

Li Yu comforted Guo Ye, he must have broken his heart after running around these days

After Guo Ye left, Li Yu hurried to find Zhang Chengyou

"I need you to help me with something!" Li Yu was not ambiguous about his needs at all, and of course he didn't need to be ambiguous when facing Zhang Chengyou.

Sure enough, Zhang Chengyou immediately listened seriously. Although he was usually very serious, Li Yu could tell from his eyes at this moment that he was different from the usual seriousness.

"Tomorrow morning, I need you to report to the father and let him thoroughly investigate Yanping's case." As he spoke, the person Guo Ye brought came in. "This is the witness Guo Ye is looking for. I will go to Sun Shangshu in a while. , presumably he should second the proposal, and then you will bring him in."

Speaking of this, Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Of course, this approach has certain risks, and the father may be angry..."

"Second prince, needless to say, I am here because of your credit, even if I am demoted, it's nothing!" Zhang Chengyou heard Li Yu's concerns, so he interrupted

"It's impossible to be demoted. I know my father, but you just messed with Yan Ping's affairs when you first arrived. I think it will be difficult for you to go through the official road later."

"Even if there is no such thing, the official road must not be easy!"

He was more optimistic after hearing what Li Yu said.

in the hall

"Your Majesty, I have something to play!" Zhang Chengyou said when Emperor Xianning was about to retire.

Although Zhang Chengyou has been here for a few days, he is a newcomer in the court hall, so he is standing at the back of the court, and he didn't speak much before, so he suddenly made a sound, Emperor Xianning was a little curious

"Zhang Qing's family, what's the matter?"

"I've heard about General Gu Huaigu since I became an official, but recently I've heard even more."

"Oh?" Emperor Xianning squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Chengyou, "I don't know what Zhang Qing's family heard?"

"People naturally think that General Gu has done a lot for the country and the people, and they don't believe that he will have anything to do with treason. Of course, most of them say they believe in the emperor's decision. He is the king of a country and will not judge a good person by mistake!"

In this case, Emperor Xianning seems to be very useful

"The emperor is wise, no matter how powerful Gu Huai is, in the eyes of the people, he will always be the emperor's people!" Su Yin stood at the front, and he could see the emperor's face very clearly. people who look at faces

"However..." Zhang Chengyou hesitated for a while. "After all, there are still people who need to explain. After all, General Gu's achievements cannot be denied!"

"Then what do you need from me?"

"It's not the minister, it's the common people! Yesterday a man who claimed to be an acquaintance of Tatamu came to my house to look for me, saying that he had evidence! Listen to me, isn't this Tatamu someone close to Prime Minister Su? Listen to me He said it was General Gu who he corrected, so he quickly brought him here!"

"Your Majesty! I think Mr. Zhang might be deceived! Tatamu has lived in the extreme northern border since he was a child, where are his acquaintances here?" Su Yin immediately jumped up after hearing Zhang Chengyou's words. came out and questioned

However, Zhang Cheng didn't panic at all about these things, he just listened to Su Yin's words in silence.

"Your Majesty! The old minister thinks," Sun Zeji, who was standing next to Su Yin, Sun Shangshu said, "There are a lot of doubts about General Gu. Although the emperor really doesn't need to explain anything to the common people, it is not necessary to affect the emperor's reputation." good!"

It’s good that Sun Shangshu didn’t speak up, but once he did, the civil servants who were close to him saw him start to speak up for Gu Huai, and they stood in line to intercede for Gu Huai

Previously, Yang Ruqing had been afraid to say much about Gu Huai in the court because of her relationship with Gu Huai, for fear of offending the dragon's beard. Now, seeing the situation, she dared to say what she had said in recent days.

Seeing so many court officials speak for this person, Emperor Xianning felt a little embarrassed and didn't speak yet.

Zhang Chengyou went on to say

"Prime Minister Su is right. I thought so too at the time, but this man said that he grew up with Tatamu, and it is said that he went to rob the Xiongnu's food and grass together! I heard that he was right. You are right, then it seems that this matter still has to be decided by the emperor!" As he said, he quickly asked Emperor Xianning, "Let the emperor decide!"

"Let the emperor make a decision!"

With this opening, Sun Ze has already taken the lead and everyone seconded it.

Seeing this scene, Su Yin was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. His mustache vividly explained the meaning of this sentence on his face.

"Then bring people up!"

"See the emperor!" The man who was brought up folded his hands on his chest and saluted

Seeing his actions, Emperor Xianning was puzzled

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Saha, I come from the border of Dragon City!"

"I heard you know Tatamu?" Emperor Xianning asked again

"That's right! I grew up with him!" The man named Saha replied in a straightforward manner.

"Why did you come?"

"I'm here for Tatamu! Of course, I can also say that I'm here for General Gu!" Saha continued, "I heard Tatamu said that General Gu had contacts with the Huns, so I came here to correct me this time. "

"Oh?"

"General Gu and Galdan do have contacts!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the court officials who had seconded the proposal looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling guilty for a while.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yang Ruqing burst out

"I haven't finished yet!" Saha went on to say, "This exchange is nothing more than a war with real swords and guns. It's not like what Tatamu said! If you stand on the battlefield and fight to the death for the country and the people It can also be misinterpreted as a secret communication, so what is the meaning of General Gu's fighting?"

"Hmph! This is just your side story! How do you explain the private letter provided by Tatamu!" Su Yin stood aside and questioned

"Letter? What letter?!" Obviously he didn't know much about letters

"Hmph, look, Your Majesty, he dared to come here and make nonsense without even doing his homework. He is really a deceitful offender!"

"I really don't know what kind of letter it is, but the Chinese characters of Tatamu were taught by General Gu at that time. It must not be difficult to imitate his characters!" Saha paused, and then said, "I don't know if the emperor would be willing. Listen to me tell a story?"
