Chapter 1521 Master
Zhu Houzhao has to act in the full set of acting.
This made the eunuchs in the Eastern Palace suffer. A group of people went up and didn't take the blame. Zhu Houzhao started to do it with great strength. Several eunuchs rushed forward and were no match for him at all. The most important thing was that the eunuchs did not dare to hurt the prince's body, while Zhu Houzhao completely ignored the life and death of those eunuchs.
But in the end, Zhu Houzhao was subdued by the eunuchs.
When Queen Zhang saw the emperor who was still shouting, she burst into tears and wiped her tears and asked the emperor to find someone who could drive away the evil spirits for Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Zu was resting in the Ganqing Palace when he heard Xiao Jing’s report on his sickbed and almost rolled down from the dragon bed.
Zhu Zhi asked in disbelief: "Eunuch Xiao, what did you say? The prince has provoked something ill and has... lost his mind?"
Xiao Jing saw Zhu Houzhao crazy with his own eyes and felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I can see clearly that the prince has indeed provoked impure things. He is so kind, suddenly... Your Majesty, did you ask someone to exorcise evil spirits for Your Highness?"
Emperor Hongzhi, who was in the Ming Dynasty, looked sad at this moment and said, "In recent years, all kinds of accidents have often happened in the palace. First, my princess, then the queen and the prince. Not long after, it was my turn, as well as Mrs. Jin and the Queen Mother. Alas! The prince actually encountered this incident again... It seems like he was entangled by some unjust soul, but the palace is a place where the real dragon entrenches, so it will never be..."
Zhu Zhi wanted to express his feelings, but when he thought that his son was suffering, he stopped saying anything. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have invited a master to enter the palace before. Now there are still people who have refined elixirs for me, but these people... I do not accept it. Perhaps it is the disease they brought from outside the palace. I want to find someone again from outside the palace. All of these people will be expelled from the palace..."
Xiao Jing asked, "Your Majesty, where are the masters who drive away evil spirits looking for? If you publish a wide range of articles, you will probably not be too late!"
"this……"
Zhu Zu hesitated and said, "Let the uncle help me. The uncle is outside the palace and knows many strange people, so I can only rely on them!"
Xiao Jingying said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to find two uncles now!"
Although Xiao Jing agreed, he always felt that this was very unreliable and thought, Your Majesty is seeking medical treatment in a hurry? However, there have been many things in the Forbidden City in recent years. We should indeed hire an expert to do it and drive away the demons.
...
...
Speaking of which, Zhang Yanling sent Zhu Houzhao into the palace gate, but did not return to his own courtyard as soon as possible. Instead, he went back to Qinlou to drink half an hour of flower wine. When the sky got darker, he took a carriage to his elder brother Zhang Heling's residence, preparing to inform his elder brother about the promised things the prince had promised.
"I just used a small way to deal with the prince. In the future, he will become the emperor. Our Zhang family will definitely be at its peak. The family that can be compared with us in the court will not exist at all. At that time, I can even go to generals and ministers, and any prime minister, or British duke, and I don't deserve to carry my shoes..."
Along the way, Zhang Yanling was talking to himself proudly. When he got off the carriage at the ground, he was about to enter the Shouning Marquis' Mansion, but before he could cross the threshold, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
A master came out and said, "Mr. Marquis, why did you come? The master has sent someone to find you for a long time!"
Zhang Yanling looked at everyone. The messy posture was like a funeral. He thought to himself: "Is it because my brother-in-law went first, and the prince was about to ascend the throne? This matter would not come so quickly, right?"
Zhang Yanling grabbed the Zhike's collar and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhike said: "The master said, something happened in the palace. Second... Marquis, please go in and take a look?"
Zhang Yanling cares about face the most. He always likes others to call him "Marquis" in front of others, so that these servants at home can only cater to this way.
Zhang Yanling hurried into the main hall of the Shouning Marquis Mansion. Before he could enter, he saw Xiao Jing and Zhang Heling coming out of the main hall. Xiao Jing said anxiously: "Where is Marquis Jianchang going? I'm so anxious!"
"What's the matter with Eunuch Xiao looking for me?"
Zhang Yanling was drunk and asked with a blushing face.
Xiao Jing heard Zhang Yanling's voice, and his face showed surprise at first, but when he saw Zhang Yanling's drunken look, he couldn't help but frown. Zhang Heling next to him asked: "Where did you go after this big day? You can't find your person in the mansion!"
Zhang Yanling looked at his brother, and his eyes seemed to be saying, "Where did I go?"
He stammered: "I have a social event today and I need to go out to drink as a companion, so I came back a little late!"
Xiao Jing didn't seem to want to stay for more, so he said directly: "Two marquises, our family has already entrusted the matter before. You two will discuss it first. If there is a suitable candidate, just bring it into the palace gate. Our family will send someone to guard the palace gate. There are people to help the Meridian Gate and Donghua Gate, but you must be quick!"
"Trouble!"
As the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Heling showed a certain responsibility. After giving the gift, he sent Xiao Jing away. He was supposed to give Xiao Jing ten taels of silver, but he was politely declined.
Zhang Heling hurriedly took his younger brother back to the main hall. Before he could sit down, Zhang Yanling couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling and shouted, "I'll ask you first, where did you take the prince before, and why something happened to someone after the prince returned to the palace?"
"The prince... something happened?"
Zhang Yanling was a little drowsy because of alcohol. When he heard the news, he was so scared that he woke up immediately. He looked at his brother in disbelief and asked, "Brother, what's the point? What happened to the prince? I personally sent him back to Dong'anmen and watched him enter the palace with my own eyes..."
Zhang Heling said: "But Eunuch Xiao came to report that the prince was plagued by evil spirits and was now crazy and beaten whenever he saw people!"
Zhang Yanling frowned: "Evil Demon!?"
After Zhang Heling roughly said the news he had received from Xiao Jing before, Zhang Yanling said: "This is really strange. If I had known it, I would have come back soon and not go...well..."
Zhang Yanling stopped halfway through the words and asked, "Why did Eunuch Xiao come to find you, brother? Does he know about the prince leaving the palace?"
"I don't know yet!"
Zhang Heling said, "It was His Majesty's oral order, asking him to come out to find you and me, and ask the gangsters of the martial arts to enter the palace and go to the Xiefang Palace to exorcise evil spirits for the prince... But where can I go to find the gangsters of the martial arts? Isn't this sincerely embarrassing me? By the way, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Zhang Yanling was thinking about the prince's "being possessed evil" and was a little distracted. After being asked twice by his brother, he reacted and replied: "There are people, but I don't know whether it's useful or not!"
Zhang Heling said: "What are you waiting for? Bring people quickly, no matter whether they are useful or not, treat dead horses as living horses!"
Zhang Yanling was a little hesitant, but since his brother was destined, he no longer cared about anything. He called his close-up chief and ordered: "Go and invite the Wuling Temple Sima Zhenren who had come to our mansion to cheat and drink before, and say that this marquis is of great use to him!"
...
...
When the servants of the Marquis of Jianchang went to find someone, Zhang Yanling told Zhang Heling about the situation of "Sima Zhenren".
"...Brother, I don't know what this person is. He was introduced to my mansion before and tested Feng Shui for me. He said it looked like a little magic circle. But later I asked him to test a few things, but they were not very accurate. In addition, at that time, people from the world often came to my mansion to eat and drink, so I drove them out of the mansion and stayed in the capital to show people Feng Shui..."
Zhang Heling listened carefully and finally said, "Whether you have real skills or you don't have the ability, you can pull it out or take him to the palace for a walk, even if we have done our best!"
Zhang Yanling was a little anxious: "Brother, that's not what he said. After all, the prince is related to the future rise and fall of my Zhang family..."
Zhang Heling was furious: "Since you know that it is related to the rise and fall of my Zhang family, you have to consider the consequences when you act. It is you who took the prince out of the palace that made him get involved in impure things. If His Majesty and the Queen know about this, do you think they will let you and me go?"
Zhang Yanling shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying nothing.
Soon, the "Sima Zhenren" mentioned by Zhang Yanling was taken to the Shouning Marquis' Mansion. At this time, the sky had become dark. When the person came to the main hall, Zhang Heling took a careful look at it when he first arrived at the lantern.
But seeing this man is about forty years old, with a slim figure, a tall nose, a gray and shabby Taoist robe, and a whisk in his hand, he has a bit of a fairy-like Taoist priest.
Zhang Heling asked, "Who is coming?"
The Taoist priest bowed: "Amitabha Buddha is not a disciple of the 72nd generation of the Five Spirits Views. His surname is Sima! After practicing for thirty years, he has been called a true person. Who among the ordinary people?"
The servant of the Zhang family behind jumped out and scolded: "Bold, this person is the head of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion. Is Shouning Marquis? Why don't you kneel down and bow down to worship?"
Sima Zhenren flirted with dust and said, "Original true man is a monk. How could he ritualize ordinary people? This is a mess of the secular principles!"
Zhang Yanling browsed: "Okay, don't you say much nonsense. Didn't you say you have the ability? You can test it yourself. Why did this marquis ask you to come?"
Sima Zhenren calculated as if he was looking like a lie and said, "Is it a matter of the Forbidden Palace?"
Zhang Yanling was about to continue asking questions, but Zhang Heling said impatiently: "Since the person is here, let's go to the palace together. It's useless to say that it's useless. Your Majesty and the Queen are waiting..."
Before, Sima Zhenren looked calm and composed. Later, when he heard words such as "Your Majesty" and "Queen", his expression on his face was obviously a little stagnant, but at this time, Zhang Heling did not give him a chance to refuse.
Sima Zhenren was about to ask a few questions carefully, and a servant from the Hou Mansion said impatiently: "Sima Zhenren isn't you? What are you still standing and doing? Let's go!"
Sima Zhenren was almost carried out of the Shouning Marquis Mansion. The carriage outside was already ready, and he was rushed into the car and headed all the way to the palace.
The convoy of more than ten carriages was not on the line between Daming Gate and Meridian Gate, but directly took the shortcut between Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate. When they arrived at the palace gate, the eunuch sent by Xiao Jing to pick him up was already waiting. The eunuch was holding a waist sign that could pass through the Forbidden Palace in his hand.
The Zhang brothers themselves are regular guests of the palace. The palace guards would not stop them and interrogate them when they saw them. They respectfully invited people into the palace gate.
