Zhang Changzong and his brothers built a thatched cottage next to their parents' tombs. Several brothers lived here together, while the female family members lived in their ancestral homes with their children. They lived in their parents' mourning, and they had to stay in this thatched cottage for three years. Don't think about the couch, and the brothers could only sleep in the big bunk shop paved with straw mats.

Fortunately, the Zhang family is not short of money now. Although the thatched cottage is simple, the walls are carefully laid out, and the appearance is not obvious. In fact, there is no air leakage. Autumn is coming and the weather is getting colder. The young brothers can still hold on, so they are worried that the eldest and second brothers can't stand it. Laiwang is very good at doing things and is well prepared.

The brothers were not idle in the thatched cottage. In addition to the necessary etiquette, they gathered together to study in their spare time. At the beginning, the grandchildren such as Wenyang and Wenying, who were older, also lived with them. The uncles, nephews and sons gathered together to study and discuss knowledge.

In recent years, Zhang Changzong has been reading books in northern Xinjiang, but his main energy is to train troops. Now, because he is free to stay filial, he has time to study quietly. In the Zhang family, he has the best knowledge, read the most, and has the widest range of knowledge. It is no problem to guide his brothers and nephews, and he also feels like he is reviewing the past and learning the new.

Somehow, these things were spread by the benevolent people. The magistrate of Yifeng County, whether for political achievements or flattery by the Zhang family, actually reported this matter. When the governor of Dingzhou saw it, he thought it was a good thing and did not forget to study. His family's voice and family style were really a model. So he reported to Chang'an. When the envoys of the court brought the rice and grain given by the empress to condolence and praise, Zhang Changzong realized that the empress was sick again.

This year, she was not in good health. She had been sick several times. She had just recovered for a while and was uncomfortable again. She was sleeping on her bed all year round and kept medicinal soup.

Zhang Changzong only heard the beginning and lowered his face and stopped talking. He was already a little bit disheveled because he was filial and could not eat enough. He was haggard and looked even more melancholy. He wrote a thank-you form and invited someone to take it back. He sighed and said, "I wish you a good man to tell Your Majesty that Liu Lang was far away in Dingzhou. I also wish her a speedy recovery in the dragon body. I hope she can eat, sleep well and maintain a good body."

"Here."

The envoy was right, and when he returned to Chang'an, he reported to the empress truthfully. Even Zhang Changzong's greetings were reposted word by word. The empress looked depressed and silent for a moment, and asked, "Look, Liu Lang is okay?"

The envoy was a small official of the Ministry of Rites. He immediately replied: "When I look back at your Majesty, I look at it. Zhang Lang should be sad about his mother's death, his body was broken, and his expression was haggard. He was no longer as handsome as the Lotus Lang in the past, but had a bit of the plum style."

Seeing him talking about Liu Lang's appearance and dancing eyebrows, this guy is actually a face-controller!

The queen sneer's eyebrows were immediately scared and she quickly lowered her eyebrows and eyes. The rules were too good. The queen suddenly felt boring and waved her hands, letting her go down, leaning on the arhat couch, silently ecstasy.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

Mo Chengan came in with the boiled decoction and reminded softly. The queen glanced at the decoction in disgust, but did not move, but asked, "Why are you here to serve me? Where is Wan'er? Ask her to serve me and take medicine."

Mo Cheng paused and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Shangguan Zhaoxun offended Your Majesty and was ordered to imprison Zhaoyi Palace by Your Majesty."

"Shangguan Zhaoxun? I'm imprisoned Zhaoyi Palace?! Oh, yes, I remembered it."

The queen seemed to have really forgotten it, and when Mo Chengan mentioned it, she suddenly remembered: "I just said, why haven't Wan'er come to pay my respects to me these days? Forget it, bring the medicine."

He didn't say anything about pardoning Shangguan Wan'er. Mo Chengan didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly handed over the medicine bowl. The queen picked it up by herself, frowned and raised her head and drank it in two sips, allowing the palace maid to wipe the corners of her mouth.

Outside the Daming Palace, on the palace road from the East Palace, Fang Shengrui and his people were confronting Jinghui, who also brought his men and horses: "Where is General Jing going with these many men and horses? And what are you trying to do with you guys?"

Jinghui narrowed his eyes and looked at him, touched the knife on his waist, and silently said nothing. The soldiers behind him were a little turbulent, but Jinghui immediately looked back and the commotion subsided immediately.

Fang Shengrui was the general of the Yulin Guard who took over after Zhang Changzong stepped down. Jinghui was promoted to the right general of the Yulin Guard at about the same time. Among the Yulin Guard, no one can match Zhang Changzong's prestige. The 500 troops that Jinghui brought today are all he can control.

Zhang Jianzhi came out from the crowd and bowed to Fang Shengrui and said, "General Fang, I and others are ordered by the prince of the Eastern Palace to protect His Highness to go to His Majesty's bedroom to visit His Majesty's Majesty's bedroom."

In the crowd, Li Xian came out from the crowd, with a look of weakness and embarrassment on his face. However, he still tried hard to smile on Fang Shengrui: "Fang Qing family."

Fang Shengrui saluted: "I will pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince looked unhappy: "Gou wanted to go to the palace to visit the mother emperor. General Fang led his troops to stop Gu. Is there any prince Gu in his eyes?"

Fang Shengrui maintained a gesture of salutation and said in a deep voice: "Although the last general is humble, I have never heard of leading troops to visit since ancient times. The last general's duties are responsibilities. Please do not make things difficult for your subordinates."

The prince's face turned cold and was about to be scolded. Jinghui also pulled out the knife from his waist. Fang Shengrui did not frown, and made a gesture. His subordinates immediately lined up—

"Wait a minute!"

Yuan Shuji stood up and said, "General Fang, the prince is the crown prince of a country, the prince is the king, and we are the ministers. The prince went to Yingxian Palace to meet the saints in order to fulfill his filial piety to Your Majesty. He is the duty of a son and a minister, so why should the general stop him?"

Fang Shengrui glanced at him and said proudly: "Your Majesty is trustworthy and entrusted it with the safety of the palace ban. Although I am humble, I also recognize the kindness, loyalty and treacherous. I am not talented, but I dare not forget the responsibility of protecting the palace ban. Your Highness dared not stop him if you want to face the saints, but the soldiers are not allowed to enter the palace. Moreover, Jinghui has no order to move the troops without any orders. People come to remove his sword armor for this general and engage in military law."

"Here."

The subordinates behind him responded, and a sound of a knife being unsheathed. Before Fang Shengrui could wait for his subordinates to catch people and remove armor, he felt a chill in his neck. A horizontal knife was already placed between his neck. He realized that he turned around: "Huan Yanfan, how dare you... not right!"

Fang Shengrui turned his head and looked at Zhang Jianzhi, Yuan Shuji and Cui Xuanwei who were guarding the prince Li Xian, and understood: "The three prime ministers have good plans and plans. They have been planned for a long time. No wonder Huan Yanfan and Jinghui entered the left and right Yulin. Can Your Highness know this plan before?"

Prince Li Xian was stunned and speechless for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhang Jianzhi and others. Huan Yanfan said, "It's so that General Fang can know that the emperor used his beloved son to entrust His Majesty with his beloved son, but this year he has grown teeth, but he has lived in the Eastern Palace for a long time. Today I like the hearts of the people and have long missed Li. We are just pleasing to the will of heaven and the people. Please rest and raise the dragon body with peace of mind, and the prince will supervise the country to peace of the world."

Fang Shengrui looked at him with a smile, not afraid of the sharp blades standing across his neck, but only looked at the crown prince Li Xian with a sarcastic sneer, "What a loyal minister and general who cares about the country and the people, your highness can see clearly? Your Highness used this kind of family affection between the mother and son of the divisive family to instigate your highness to disobey Your Highness in exchange for the skillful villain who follows the dragon. How can you know that this villain will not plot against Your Highness in the future?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Huan Yanfan was furious and raised and slashed Fang Shengrui's back with one sword. The sharp blade slashed across the soft armor and was immediately dripping blood, but the injury was not dead for a while.

"General!"

The soldiers loyal to Fang Shengrui in the tribe were shocked and all raised their swords to resist. Huan Yanfan and Jinghui were waiting for this moment and immediately ordered the soldiers who were willing to obey their orders: "Come on, there are soldiers in the Yulin Guard mutiny. In order to protect Your Majesty's safety, the soldiers obeyed the orders and followed us into the palace. The mutiny soldiers were killed on the spot!"

"Here."

Fang Shengrui lay on the ground, watching the soldiers loyal to him being killed because of their few people, his eyes were so angry that they glared at Huan Yanfan: "The speculative villain has actually attacked the soldiers of the comrades! I want to see what you are like!"

Huan Yanfan smiled coldly and said, "General Fang, don't worry, Bei Zhi will not let you die now, you will soon see the fate of Bei Zhi. Come and bring him! Your Highness, the mutiny has been settled, please go to the palace to visit Your Majesty."
