In the next few days, Xu Han had a very comprehensive understanding of Chang Yesi's influence in Da Zhou.

He discussed several proposals with Mr. Lu and others before and after, such as the following allocation of state treasury finances to rebuild Dahuang City, and the expansion of the Chang'an defense, to resist external or internal attacks that may occur at any time. But these proposals were almost unanimously opposed by the court. The reason is nothing more than rhetoric about the emptiness of the treasury.

Now when Zhuxian mentioned the reorganization of the Canglong Army, the various ministries of the court even spontaneously began to raise the silver liang, almost trying their best to flatter the first person.

Xu Han wouldn't be annoyed by this, but the absolute control of the Chang Ye Si in the Great Zhou court inevitably made him terrified.

And that Yuwenluo has changed his previous attitude towards Xu Han in the courtroom. Whenever he sees Xu Han eating flat, Yuwenluo is silent, seeming to acquiesce Zhuxian to Tiance Mansion. Suppress. Xu Han couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, but secretly felt that it should be related to the memorial about the dragon qi that Yu Wencheng had handed over.

In desperation, Xu Han had no choice but to find another way, thinking of raising money and food through various gentry in Chang'an City, in order to expand the Tiance Mansion Army and repair Dahuang City. It’s just that this method is also not going well. Chang Yesi’s minions are scattered everywhere in Chang'an. No matter the tyrants or princes, they all treat Tiance Mansion’s wooing like wild beasts, lest they get involved with it and attract Chang Yesi. revenge. These encounters made Xu Han truly realize that in Chang'an City, Tiance Mansion is like an isolated island, without allies, looking around, it is full of enemies.

The people of Tiance Mansion are worried about this these few days. They can clearly feel that there are so many pairs of bright or dark eyes looking at this isolated island in Chang'an City everywhere, as if in The evil wolves waiting for the opportunity, as long as they reveal even a slight flaw, the evil wolves will swarm them and eat them clean.

This kind of tranquility before the storm is not good. Xu Han can also feel the oppression of the dark clouds pressing down on the city. However, as the palace lord, he did not feel this emotion like everyone else. Generally speaking on his face, he knows that the more he is in such a dilemma, the more he needs to be calm as a leader.

On this day, when Xu Han was secretly thinking about how to break the game, an invitation was sent to the gate of Tiance Mansion.

An invitation from Zong Zhengyu Wencheng, one of the Jiuqing in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This invitation seemed somewhat abrupt to Xu Han. At least in his memory, he didn’t even see the other party. But Xu Han did not intend to refuse the invitation. On the contrary, he was very It was refreshing, and he responded. He has a lot of questions and needs this Master Zongzheng to give him an answer, and this invitation is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

......

In the evening, Xu Han put on decent clothes, and came to the residence of Master Zongzheng alone.

As the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is also one of the Nine Qings.

Yu Wencheng's mansion really surprised Xu Han.

Da Zhou has a very strict hierarchy. From ordinary people to officials and princes, there are very clear regulations on their housing, transportation, and expenditure, and this is more vividly reflected in the Chang'an City at the feet of the emperor.

For example, the gate of this mansion, the gate of Putian Palace is three feet and three feet away, taking three to three as the number of nine, and the gate of the world is insurmountable. Even if the Dahuang City is the world’s number one Xiongguan, it is built as three. Two feet high. As for the gates of ordinary palaces and courts, they are very particular, and most of them depend on their status.

This mansion gate is like a human face, even if it is too poor, you have to repair the mansion gate to match your own identity. With Yuwencheng's status, the gate of the palace would have to be one foot and five feet away, but the gate in front of you was no more than seven feet high and four feet wide. Xu Han had to read the word "Cheng Qing" written on the plaque of the courtyard several times before he was sure that he had not found the wrong place.

Then he took a deep breath and knocked on Yu Wencheng's palace door.

The servant who opened the door didn't show even the slightest surprise at Xu Han's arrival. He was very familiar with Xu Han and walked into the mansion of Master Zheng. /Xu Han looked carefully along the way, the situation in Yuwencheng's mansion and that shabby mansion were put together, but it was worthy of that sentence.

Without the luxurious decorations that a royal family should have, there are only a few crooked neck trees that Xu Han can’t name in the courtyard along the way, as well as some flowers and plants that seem to be extremely ordinary. Besides, there are no more Other things.

When you step into the wooden house in the mansion, the furnishings in the house will even use the simple word to the extreme. A few old master chairs, a few plan tables, and only a couplet hanging in the middle of the hall.

Right book: The world is devastated, and pride has never been upset.

Zuo Shu: The people suffer from the sufferings, so the reputation should not be said by posterity.

Horizontal batch: Don't ask the source.

Xu Han doesn't understand the quality of this calligraphy, but feels that these few cross strokes are refined, and the sharpness is not obvious. It seems to be from everyone's hands. Xu Han couldn't help but read it softly.

At this moment, the door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"I have nothing to do, the little old man wrote by himself, which made the lord of the palace laugh." An old voice also sounded from behind Xu Han at that time.

Xu Han quickly turned around when he heard this, and saw an old man with a rickety figure but a smile on his face standing behind him for some time. "Xu has met Master Zong Zheng."

Needless to say, Xu Han guessed that this person is the people of this mansion, Yu Wencheng.

Yu Wencheng, who was born with a kind eyebrow and a good purpose, looked up and down Xu Han at that time, and then smiled and nodded.

"Palace Master is polite, come and sit down," Yu Wencheng said, and then stretched out his hand to signal Xu Han to sit down.

Xu Han was not polite, and just sat down.

Yu Wencheng clapped his hands when he saw it, and two waiters walked in from outside the house, brought some dishes for Xu Han and Xu Wencheng, and placed them in front of their respective counters.

The dishes are not rich and expensive, but they are obviously made with great care and taste. Just a sniff made Xu Han's index finger move secretly.

"Palace, the lord, don't dislike it." Yu Wencheng said with a smile, and then motioned to Xu Han to move his chopsticks.

Xu Han smiled faintly when he heard the words, then picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew carefully, and then said: "There is no flavor."

This is not a compliment, but it is from the sincerity.

"Palace Master likes it, so eat more." Yu Wencheng smiled even more when he saw this, and greeted Xu Han eagerly.

It's just that he just greeted Xu Han for a meal, but he didn't say a word about why Xu Han was called to come during this trip.

Naturally, Xu Han would not think that this meal was just a light meal. Seeing Yu Wencheng deliberately kept silent, he simply put down the tableware and chopsticks.

"What's the matter? Why doesn't the palace owner want to use the chopsticks, but the food is not to your appetite?" Yu Wencheng asked when he saw it.

"Master Zongzheng was warmly invited. This meal is naturally delicious, but if there is one thing in my mind, if I don't understand it, it is the taste of mountains and seas. It is also the same as chewing wax." Xu Hanzheng said, but at that time he looked straight at Yuwen. become.

Yu Wencheng's eyes narrowed, he looked at Xu Han with a smile, and asked as if he had expected it: "What's the matter?"

Xu Han did not respond, but slowly took out something from his arms and handed it to Yu Wencheng.

Yu Wencheng took the thing and looked intently, but it was wrinkled. The thing came from his hand. He naturally didn't need to look at it anymore. He just couldn't help but shook his head at that time and sighed bitterly. : "Zongzheng's secret memorial, which was supposed to be only worthy of the sage, but now it is a manpower. The misfortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the great mourning of the royal family."

Xu Han didn't have the heart to sigh the withering of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He Chen Sheng asked: "Is this memorial really true?"

The old man smiled when he heard the words, and seemed to think that Xu Han's problem could not be counted as a problem.

"In all previous Zongzheng, when he took office, he would connect his qi and blood with the national dragon pot. Only then can he obtain this method of watching the Qi and watching the dragon. Everything can be faked. Only this is presented to the sage’s dragon watching income. No falsehood. Everyone in Chang'an knows about this, and the lord can ask."

Xu Han frowned when he heard the words. He saw that the look on Yu Wencheng's face was indifferent. Obviously the words were true. He couldn't help but ask again: "Then why is there such a strong dragon spirit in Tiance Mansion?"

Listening to this, the smile on Na Yuwencheng’s face was even greater. He took a deep look at Xu Han, and said in a deep voice: "Tiance Mansion has dragon spirit, Xu Palace Lord does not ask himself, and ran over. Ask me what's the use?"

Xu Han heard that there was something in Yu Wencheng's words, he couldn't help but think of his previous guess again, and his brows suddenly wrinkled deeper.

"Eighteen years ago, when Yuwenluo became the throne, in order to prevent the court officials from claiming that the emperor was not glorious enough, and the new emperor was established, all the princes and princesses except for his brother, Yuwang Yuwenyang, The guilty disorder did not have a night of slaughter clean, only the baby who just gave birth to a concubine was missing." Yu Wencheng looked at Xu Han, who was frowning and silent, and continued to say faintly. I just paused when I was talking about the child, and then his tone fell a bit low: "If I remember correctly, if the child lives to this day, he should be about the same age as the palace lord."

When these words were spoken, Xu Han's heart jumped. He widened his eyes, looked at Yu Wencheng, and asked: "What does Zong Zheng mean?"

"It's just a casual remark, the palace lord shouldn't care about it. The little old man will naturally say whatever he thinks of when he is old." Yu Wencheng heard the words, chuckled, and said, haha, and then perfunctorily passed the matter.

Naturally, Xu Han couldn’t believe that Yu Wencheng’s words were really just casual words. He calmly looked at the gentle and smiling Lord Zong Zheng for a long time, and then asked again: “Since Lord Zong Zheng Inviting me to come here, I think it’s not just for this casual remark, right?"

Xu Han is not a weak-minded person~IndoMTL.com~, but it has something to do with his own life experience, especially the imperial clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xu Han was also a little upset at this time, so he simply avoided this topic. , Asked.

"Of course not." The old man over 60 squinted and smiled. "The old man just heard that Palace Master is not doing well recently. Zhu Xian's ability is really good, I guess it's not too bad for Palace Master, right?"

"Why? Zong Zheng is going to help?" Xu Han raised his brows and temporarily recovered from the previous topic.

"The old man has this intention, but my martial arts can't keep the country, the culture can't govern the country, but I have the heart and powerless. All the little old man can do is give some advice to the palace lord."

"What advice?"

"Everyone in the world wants something, what does the palace lord want to get in the muddy water of Chang'an?"

When Xu Han heard this, he was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the old man.

"Palace Lord does not need to answer this question, you only need to ask yourself, and only when you find what you want, can the Lord understand who is your true enemy."

The old man said this with a smile, and then took a drink from the glass before the case.

Xu Han's body was shocked at that time, the expression on his face changed for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until dozens of breaths later.

Then he stood up, bowed respectfully to the old man, and said solemnly.

"Thanks to Mr. Guo for teaching."

When Yu Wencheng saw this, he nodded, "May I give the palace lord another sentence?"

"Huh?" Xu Han was puzzled.

At that time, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at the top of his head. Xu Han looked in the direction he was pointing, but saw a horizontal plaque hanging there. It is a horizontal commentary of the couplet.

The letter was written in four simple words.

Don't ask the source.

In the next few days, Xu Han had a very comprehensive understanding of Chang Yesi's influence in Da Zhou.
