Chapter 159 You woman, you are so childish to the extreme! (Here you come!)

Hearing Zhang Xiuyuan's words, Zhao Zhen seemed a little embarrassed, smiled coquettishly, and said to Zhang Heng: "Just have a good chat with Zhang Xiuyuan, I still have some things to deal with."

He turned his head and said to Zhang Xiuyuan: "It's a good time to chat with Ju. It's better to reconcile enemies than to get married."

Zhang Xiuyuan was blessed and said nothing.

Zhao Zhen raised his feet and walked away.

Only Zhang Heng and Zhang Xiuyuan were left in the huge Chongzheng Hall.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Xiuyuan made a bow and said: "The foreign minister has met Zhang Xiuyuan."

Zhang Xiuyuan faced Zhang Heng's salute, but she was not in a hurry to speak, she just looked at Zhang Heng quietly.

Zhang Heng frowned slightly, raised his slightly lowered head, stood upright, and looked at Zhang Xiuyuan squarely with calm eyes.

Zhang Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she thought to herself that Zhang Heng was worthy of being called a Song Dynasty man. Such a face was indeed something he had never seen before.

Zhang Heng was also amazed in his heart, no wonder Zhao Zhen loved this Xiuyuan so much, this Xiuyuan was indeed so beautiful that she could be admired all over the country.

The two of them were so amazed at each other's appearance that they didn't speak for a while.

Then it was Zhang Heng who broke the silence and said first: "Zhang Xiuyuan, it's not the officials who want to see me today, but Xiuyuan who wants to see me?"

He no longer calls himself a foreign minister, but calls himself me directly.

Zhang Xiuyuan raised her head slightly. She originally wanted to speak condescendingly to Zhang Heng, but she found out awkwardly that Zhang Heng was too tall. She raised her head just enough to meet Zhang Heng's eyes. She felt a little unhappy and snorted: "

You are so bold! If you dare to hit my younger brother, aren't you afraid of having your entire family executed?"

Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Xiuyuan's expression in surprise, thinking that she was just threatening, but looking at her expression, she was actually very serious.

Zhang Heng suddenly frowned, thinking that he had heard that Xiuyuan was very beautiful, and that she was smart and well-behaved. When she saw her today, she looked pretty, but she was not smart or well-behaved at all!

Zhao Zhen, with the dignity of the emperor, invited his ministers to make peace with her. This actually meant a lot of things.

This means that it is true that Zhao Zhen likes her, but given Zhao Zhen's imperial status, if he were an ordinary official, he might have directly issued a decree and released this official or even removed his official position.

But Zhao Zhen did not do this, and he still wanted to appease his own minister, which is enough to show his weight.

Could it be that Zhang Xiuyuan couldn't see such an obvious thing and actually dared to threaten to kill the entire Zhang family?

The most ridiculous thing in the world!

The Song Dynasty was famous for not killing scholar-bureaucrats. The most important thing was to demote or remove people from their official positions. How could there be any reason to kill the entire family of scholar-bureaucrats?

Zhang Xiuyuan saw that Zhang Heng was just looking at her with a frown, and there was some mockery in his expression. Zhang Xiuyuan immediately exploded. She was favored by Zhao Zhen, and the only person she feared in the harem was Empress Cao, and no one else dared to deal with her.

She was half disrespectful, but she didn't expect that Zhang Heng would dare to be so disrespectful!

Zhang Xiuyuan raised her voice and said sharply: "Zhang Heng! How dare you despise me! You deserve to die for your crime! You, a foreign minister who doesn't know life or death, not only beat my brother, but also dared to impeach me.

My uncle, you dare to despise me now, do you want to die?"

Zhang Heng leaned back, put his hands in his sleeves, and became lazy all over. Even his voice became very lazy: "Yes, I'm tired of living. Please give me the death penalty from Zhang Xiuyuan."

Zhang Xiuyuan originally showed her teeth and claws, but when she heard Zhang Heng speak like this, she was immediately shocked. Her little mouth was slightly opened, and she stared blankly at Zhang Heng. She raised her white and jade-like finger and pointed at Zhang Heng and said: "You...you...

How dare you be so rude! How dare you be so rude!"

Zhang Heng just looked at Zhang Xiuyuan coldly, and then whispered: "Zhang Xiuyuan, in the Song Dynasty, scholar-officials and the emperor ruled the world together. Scholar-officials are not the dogs of the clan. If you want to be the master, you are not qualified now. You are still sitting on your head."

Here is Queen Cao.

You just rely on the favor of the officials and think you are the master of the harem? What a nonsense! What kind of dog is Zhang Yaozuo! You don’t think you can rely on him, do you?

Let me tell you this, your uncle Zhang Yaozuo has reached the end of his official career. I will help you cut off the hand that reaches out from the palace. From now on, you can be a lonely man in this palace!

You can cry to the officials about these words and see if they scold you or come to kill me! You woman, you are really childish to the extreme!

I, Zhang Heng, passed the rank of Sanyuan, and I was already a living minister when I was less than twenty years old. My teacher Zeng Gongliang, the Deputy Privy Councilor Wu Yu was my tutor, Jia Changchao was also my tutor, and I have Fujian Road officials behind me.

Background, don’t you know anything about it?

You, a woman who relies on the favor of a man, what makes you think you can manipulate a courtier?"

When Zhang Heng said the last part, his words were sharp and stern. Zhang Xiuyuan was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly. Her pretty face turned white with fright, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was full of pear blossoms.

Zhang Heng, however, didn't feel any pity at all. No matter how beautiful she was, Zhang Heng wouldn't feel any pity at all for such a stupid woman, especially a woman who was malicious to him.

Zhang Heng likes smart women. Smart women know how to advance and retreat, but stupid women don't know how to move forward and retreat. They can easily be used as pawns, are greedy, and are unappetizing no matter how beautiful they are.

Zhang Xiuyuan was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. Zhang Heng was even more irritated, thinking that this woman is really a fool. You have such ambitions, but when faced with challenges, you can't even act out. You can't say it with your mouth. You

Wouldn't you tear off your clothes and shout loudly that I molested you?

He is indeed stupid and idiot!

Zhang Heng sneered in his heart, but then he realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and then whispered: "Zhang Xiuyuan, do you still want to talk?"

Zhang Xiuyuan quickly wiped away her tears, gathered herself together with Zhang Heng, and said sadly: "Judge Zhang, I am rude, can you let my uncle go?"

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "Zhang Xiuyuan, from the beginning to now, I have endured it again and again. The housekeeper of the Zhang family embarrassed me in the Duzhi Division. I didn't get angry. I just told him to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a record.

I should approve everything here.

But your Zhang family just wants to bully others. Your cousin Zhang Shanfu also went to Duzhisi to bully me and even beat me!

And your uncle, Zhang Yaozuo, didn't even show his face, so he asked you, Xiuyuan, to suppress me. Zhang Xiuyuan, if you say that the Zhang family is like this, do I still dare to believe you?"

Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Judge Zhang, this matter was indeed done unkindly by the Zhang family. I am too young and do not know how big the world is, so I have offended you. I promise you that as long as you let my uncle go, we will

Do you think it’s okay if the water from the two wells doesn’t interfere with the river?”

Zhang Heng pondered for a while and said: "Zhang Xiuyuan, I don't really believe in your promise, but I am willing to have a chance to make things right. We will temporarily stop the accusations against your uncle, but if we find that you are still attacking me,

Next time, it will be your life and death."

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded quickly and said: "No, no, no, I will ask my cousin to recover from his injuries and apologize to you. Let this matter pass. What do you think?"

Zhang Heng finally smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Xiuyuan, I am rude today. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhang Xiuyuan was finally overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you. Then I will invite Your Majesty to come over."

Zhang Heng and Zhang Xiuyuan made a bow, and Zhang Xiuyuan left in a hurry. Zhang Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, although Zhang Heng is sure to beat Zhang Yaozuo to death with a stick, if this happens, the two families will really have a deadly feud. In this way, as long as Zhang Xiuyuan is still by Zhao Zhen's side, the risk will still exist.

It would be better to reconcile like this.

Of course, if Zhang Xiuyuan still dares to pester him, don't blame Zhang Heng for being ruthless. Zeng Gongliang said that he would not be allowed to interfere in the harem, but at that point, Zhang Heng could not take too much into consideration. Zhang Xiuyuan could not bear it.

Doting is true, but it is not easy to destroy the relationship between a man and a woman. There is also Empress Cao in the palace.

After a while, Zhao Zhen came out with a smile and praised Zhang Heng: "Ju Zheng is really broad-minded. Alas, little girls are difficult to raise. You must have been wronged in this matter, Ju Zheng.

I am also helpless. It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to resolve family affairs. If you can understand me, Ju Zheng, I owe you a favor."

Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "Wei Chen is also responsible for this matter. My master also criticized Wei Chen, saying that Wei Chen doesn't know how to behave. He can obviously handle this matter more properly. Zhang Xiuyuan is also broad-minded. If it weren't for Zhang Xiuyuan's broad-mindedness,

If it is reached, it will cause a catastrophe."

Zhao Zhen laughed: "Zhang Xiuyuan is also praising you for your broad mind, hahaha, if the courtiers can understand each other like this, then things in this world will be simple, alas."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed.

Later, Zhao Zhen asked Zhang Heng about the affairs of Du Branch and Zhi Zhi Gao, and Zhang Heng reported them one by one.

Zhao Zhen also admired Zhang Heng's work very much. He praised Zhang Heng for doing a good job in the branch office. He said that all the ministers were praising him.

His literary talent and proper handling of government affairs are all praise.

These compliments to Zhang Heng are just for listening. Zhao Zhen probably came to be the peacemaker under a lot of pressure. Zhang Heng was able to convince Zhang Xiuyuan today, which can be regarded as a great help to him, so he does not begrudge these.

Praise.

Before Zhang Heng finally left, Zhao Zhen pulled Zhang Heng and whispered: "Have your two brothers participated in this exam?"

Zhang Heng said quickly: "Guan, you actually know about this?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled: "I am quite concerned about Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing is a good minister. I think my two brothers are also very outstanding. I very much look forward to your two brothers being able to serve the imperial court."

Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this. What Zhao Zhen meant was that Zhang Heng could reconcile with the Zhang family. Zhao Zhen was very happy about this. In order to reward Zhang Heng for his generosity, as long as Zhang Zhangshu can pass the examination,

Then when the time comes for the imperial examination, he will not depose him!

This is Zhao Zhen's promise.

That night, Zhang Heng came to Zeng's house and talked about today's events with Zeng Gongliang. Zeng Gongliang breathed a sigh of relief after listening: "It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. It is quite good to have such an ending. I hope

The Zhang family can be smarter, haha, if they persist in their obsession, I won’t mind their vicious methods!”

When it came to the last sentence, Zeng Gongliang's face turned stern, his usual smile completely gone.

Zhang Heng was a little frightened by Zeng Gongliang's ruthlessness, but thinking about Zeng Gongliang's rise to the top and becoming an evergreen tree in the political arena of the Song Dynasty, of course he could do it not just by being a good guy. Without twos and threes, how could he dare?

Going to Liangshan?

Zhang Heng suddenly thought of his wife Zeng Youwei. He thought that his wife Zeng Youwei was also the true successor of Zeng Gongliang. Zeng Youwei handled family affairs and Lin'an trading company affairs calmly and in an orderly manner. Lu Yining actually had a rather arrogant personality, but in front of Zeng Youwei, he never

Dare to be arrogant, this shows Zeng Youwei's methods.

The next day, Zhang Shanfu was let out, and then he visited Zhang Heng that day. Of course, his previous arrogance was gone. When he saw Zhang Heng again, Zhang Shanfu had fear on his face, but he apologized very honestly, and then he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
