Chapter 71 People From the British Government

This study room is much larger than the one in Beiping, and the furniture is made of precious wood, so you can smell a woody fragrance when you enter. Δ 』hunting Ω Wenwang

Xue Huamin secretly felt that this second son-in-law was able to win His Majesty's favor. Remembering the explanation of the old lady at home, he asked, "I wonder when my uncle is going to come to the door? The old lady at home is already looking forward to it."

Fang Xing made a haha: "This... wait for me to settle down and discuss it with my wife before making a decision."

It is not yet known whether Zhang Shuhui is willing to go to the Zhang family. It would be a stick if Fang Xing agreed.

And Zhang Shuhui is also receiving a guest at this time.

"Grandma Ming, it's been a long time."

Zhang Shuhui's expression was a little indifferent.

This Granny Ming is a woman in her fifties, dressed in brocade, with exquisite and unique ornaments on her head.

"What did the second girl say?"

Granny Ming picked up the teacup, glanced at the tea leaves, nodded inwardly, and said, "Second Miss, this old slave is here at the old lady's order, and I have a few words I want to say."

Zhang Shuhui waved the maid to go out, "Please go ahead."

Zhang Shuhui's indifferent attitude choked Granny Ming's face, and then she said: "The old lady said, the past is over, it's all Zhang's family, and harmony is the way to prosper a family!"

Zhang Shuhui looked at the gift list in her hand, there were some useful things in it, she smiled lightly and said, "Is the eldest lady at home sick?"

It's not a curse, it's a guess.

The eldest wife of Zhang Fu was the Li Shi who imprisoned Zhang Shuhui back then, and she gave birth to a son with dementia. If she wasn't sick, then someone else would be in charge, and the gifts she received today should be mainly for showing off.

Granny Ming nodded embarrassingly and said: "Exactly, the eldest lady has been feeling unwell since two years ago, and now the second lady is in charge of the Duke's Mansion."

Zhang Shuhui felt relieved, and promised to return to the British government in a few days.

After completing the old lady's commission, Granny Ming accepted the silver coin rewarded by Zhang Shuhui with a smile on her face. Even if she didn't like it, it was a status symbol!

After reconciling with Xue Huamin in the front yard,

The two of them prepared to go back with their entourage.

"Is your young master here?"

As soon as he reached the gate, he saw a young man in a brocade robe jumping off his horse, and the attendants behind him hurriedly led the steaming horse to the side.

The servant hurriedly replied: "My young master was still receiving guests just now, Mr. Zhang, why don't you go in and serve tea first?"

The young man laughed, put his whip in his sleeve, and strode in.

"It's the grandson of the emperor!"

When Xue Huamin and Granny Ming saw the young man, they immediately knelt on the side of the road and fell silent.

Seeing these two people, Zhu Zhanji stopped and said lightly, "Are you here to congratulate the Fang family on their housewarming?"

Xue Huamin said in a low voice: "Return to Your Highness, that's right."

Seeing someone coming out, Zhu Zhanji said casually, "Then go back quickly."

Zhu Zhanji strode across the front yard, Xue Huamin and Granny Ming stood up and looked at each other.

"Brother Dehua, the little brother is here."

Zhu Zhanji walked through the front yard as if he had entered no one's land, and happened to meet Fang Xing who came out of the study.

"Are you... going for a horse race?"

Fang Xing pointed to a leaf on Zhu Zhanji's head and asked.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "My little brother just came out of the palace and brought something for brother Dehua by the way."

Fang Xing didn't care about things, so Zhu Zhanji went to meet Zhang Shuhui first, presented the gift list, and then said that he would stay here for dinner.

"Why do you look like you have been locked up for a long time?"

Fang Xing's words made Zhu Zhanji a little dejected. He sat in the study slumped, "Last year, Geng Tong was imprisoned for selfishness, imprisoned, and died of torture."

Geng Tong?

Before Fang Xing left, he was taught by Chen Jiahui about these personnel relations, so he asked in surprise, "Isn't he the Right Chancellor of Dali Temple?"

"It's him."

Zhu Zhanji said with hatred: "The king of Han is domineering, and he deliberately slandered in front of the emperor's grandfather. Ji Gang, a cruel official, is even more..."

Even Zhu Zhanji had to avoid talking about Ji Gang, this...

Fang Xing felt that he was a little too optimistic. He thought that arriving in Jinling would be similar to being in Beiping. Unexpectedly, the political struggle here has begun to heat up.

Geng Tong's death was indeed somewhat wronged. He just felt that some things during Zhu Di's change of the crown prince's administration were unnecessary, so he went to Shu to persuade him.

At that time Zhu Di ignored him.

But who would have thought that the matter was not over yet. At the end of last year, someone said that Geng Tong was playing for selfishness. As a result, Zhu Di remembered the past, punished him for several crimes, and was sent to prison directly.

But Ji Gang secretly guessed what the emperor meant, and finally got rid of Geng Tong.

"...The loyal and upright people in the court are empty, and the king of Han colluded with Ji Gang to form a gangster, and there is no place for my father and son to stand!"

Fang Xing also felt that Zhu Di's suspicion and temper were too much, he muttered: "Ji Gang is just a villain, so there is no evidence for it, but the King of Han..."

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu has been quite proud recently, especially after he seduced Ji Gang with money and promises, he felt that he was enough to overthrow the prince.

"...for now, you should be cautious."

Fang Xing tried his best to recall some details, and explained, "It's a good thing that the King of Han is domineering. It is said that if a person wants to die, he must be crazy first. Ji Gang is in power, and sooner or later he will become a thorn in His Majesty's side."

Ji Gang did not end well, this is Fang Xing's conclusion.

Since ancient times, those who were willing to be the executioners of the superiors did not end well. For example, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji sighed: "My father has already retreated far away, but the King of Han Party is still relentless, wishing to pull my father down from the position of prince."

Fang Xing smiled slightly: "Isn't there still a good grandson?"

Zhu Zhanji said with some embarrassment: "Brother Dehua, don't make fun of me."

The so-called "good grandson" is still an allusion. When Zhu Di wanted to establish a prince after he ascended the throne, he ended up asking Xie Jin.

But Xie Jin only said three words, and Zhu Di gave up the idea of ​​making Zhu Gaoxu the prince.

And these three words are: good grandson!

Zhu Di's love for Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, is undisguised. Whenever he talks about Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di always expresses his love with "yingguo classiji".

And there are rumors that when Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Di dreamed of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a piece of big gui, which read: Passed on to the descendants, eternal prosperity.

As for whether this rumor is true, Fang Xing thinks it is not reliable.

Zhu Zhanji said with some frown: "Bachelor Xie is still in prison, and I don't know when he will come out."

Xie Jin also angered Zhu Di because of the prince's affairs, and has been imprisoned until now.

At this time Ma Su came, Fang Xing smiled and said, "There are troubles every day, forget about it for now."

It was another delicious meal in the evening, and Zhu Zhanji didn't even want to go back after eating. Finally, an eunuch came and brought Zhu Di's order directly.

"Your Majesty summons His Highness Grandson."

Fang Xing secretly said with some disdain: Since you value this grandson, why are you still torturing him?
