Chapter 729 Selfish Desires and Righteousness

Zhang Yanling returned to the mansion and was depressed. He first changed his clothes, then put on his boots, sat down in the study, and his subordinates served him tea, but he kicked him over to the ground with the tea cup.

"Master, you can't blame the young people. It's when you go out... you don't let the young people follow you." The servant looked aggrieved. It was obviously Zhang Yanling who was accidentally, but he took his anger on them.

"What's the use of me raising you bunch of waste? If something happened to me, you can't rescue me immediately. This is a dereliction of duty! If me has any problems, how many lives will you lose?"

Although Zhang Yanling was angry when he was out of touch, he did not dare to make things too big because it was probably related to his sister.

This matter itself is not glorious!

Not long after Zhang Yanling came back, Zhang Heling's sedan chair stopped in front of the door of Jianchang Bo Mansion. Zhang Heling walked into the yard angrily, followed by Zhang Ju, who was shrinking his head and head. Zhang Yanling was very annoyed when he went out to greet him... Hello, Zhang Ju, I value you very much on weekdays, why do you go to inform my elder brother when something happens?

"Second brother, you are too erratic. Do you know what you are doing?" The first thing Zhang Heling did when he arrived at the main hall was to scold Zhang Yanling for doing things indiscriminately, regardless of the fact that there were many servants present in the two palaces.

"Brother, I'm angry with me if I don't have to come up. Why don't I be here forever?" Zhang Yanling lowered his face and said, "Even if it's a thief, I won't dare to do anything to me!"

Zhang Heling asked in surprise: "Have your identity leaked?"

"Never, but those people are afraid of me and dare not treat me. In this capital... who dares to make things difficult for me?" Zhang Yanling completely forgot the fear that he had when he was blinded by others. In front of his brother, he didn't want to lose face.

Zhang Heling immediately wanted to ask about his younger brother's private hiding of women in the other yard, but at this time he also noticed that there were many servants next to him, worried that the people would talk too much, so he entered the study with Zhang Yanling. Except for Zhang Ju, everyone else left the yard and closed the door from outside. No one was allowed to approach without any irrelevant people.

"What's going on tonight?" Zhang Heling's face was gloomy and terrifying. "I told you everything. If I hide it, I will definitely not let you go easily for my brother."

Zhang Yanling looked at him disdainfully: "What's the point of being so happy? I'm such a big man, what's the big deal? I just had a little accident when I was hanging out with a woman outside. Isn't he safely back..."

"You still dare to deceive? You have to wait until the matter is broken and let His Majesty and the Queen personally invite you to the palace to question me before you can honestly explain it?"

Zhang Heling looked angry. Zhang Ju had already told him the matter, but Zhang Yanling thought he had concealed it well and determined that the people around him didn't know the inside story.

"I have a woman outside, it's that simple." Zhang Yanling said impatiently, "Whether your brother believes it or not, the matter is over."

Zhang Yanling didn't want to tell the story of the queen sending someone to kidnap the woman he kept outside. He was afraid that his brother would take him to the palace to apologize to his sister. He made up his mind and could not admit it even if he died!

"It's just the woman you raise outside?" Zhang Heling questioned again.

"What do you think? Now I am the best uncle of Jianchang. Is it like you, who lives with a yellow-faced woman at home? So what if there are a few confidants outside? You are in love with me, and I don't plan to marry someone back to be like a wife, just play with it... I won't even interfere in such a thing, right?" Zhang Yanling's tone was also unkind.

Zhang Heling was furious and reached out to hit his younger brother.

The elder brother is a father. Over the years, he felt that he did not educate his younger brother enough, which made his younger brother more perverse and unreasonable now. But he raised his hand but couldn't continue to hit him because Zhang Yanling was already old and was no longer an ignorant child. He also had a title and wanted to save face.

"Master, show mercy." Zhang Ju quickly stopped him and cried, "It's all the villain's fault. The villain did not take good care of the second master, so he asked the second master to take risks."

Zhang Heling put down his hand and sat back on the chair. His chest was fluctuating violently. He was obviously very angry. After a long time, he asked sternly: "Then where have you been in these two hours?"

"A thief secretly robbed me, but when he saw that I was a man in the government, he let me go." Zhang Yanling continued to argue.

"Do you know for your brother? The local government sent a stunning woman to the capital. You actually wanted to send someone to the palace like before, and you wanted to do that evil thing first, but it was robbed by others, but that's how?" Zhang Heling said the matter accurately as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Zhang Yanling was extremely surprised. Only he knew this. Even Zhang Ju didn't tell him. How could his brother know? Then he looked at Zhang Ju. At this time, Zhang Ju lowered his head ashamed. Zhang Yanling suddenly knew what was going on. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Do not be careful, but it is hard to be guarded by the thief in the family. Brother is really good at buying people's hearts!"

Zhang Ju immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Yanling, saying, "Second Master, the villain did not betray you, but you suddenly disappeared and you didn't know your life or death. The situation was urgent, and the villain was so scared that he had to ask the master for help."

"It's not Xiao Ju's fault. Brother Wei learned about this from the side."

Zhang Heling didn't want Zhang Ju to be unable to be a human being in the Zhang family at this time, so he shouted sternly, "You are honest about it now, is this matter true?"

"So what? I did have the idea of ​​giving the woman to the emperor, and I really wanted to take the lead first, because that woman was a slutty girl and sent someone to the palace. If Your Majesty likes her and canonize her concubines, then I will be sorry to my sister and the Zhang family. I am not at ease to find someone else, so I can only do it myself."

Zhang Yanling was righteous when he said this.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Heling slapped the table, "What you do now is worthy of the Queen and the Zhang family?"

"I have a clear conscience. How long has the emperor not taken care of the Zhang family after my sister recovered from serious illness? My sister was favored before, but she would always be old and deteriorated. My sister could no longer give birth to the emperor's son. If the prince had three or two shortcomings, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would be cut off for this, can the emperor rest assured?"

"The old ministers in the court were polite to me, Zhang, on the surface, but secretly recommended the ladies of famous families to enter the palace and replace their sister's position."

Zhang Yanling looked straight at his brother, "What I am doing now is to prepare for the future. Only when His Majesty has no shortage of women will he stop the idea of ​​accepting a concubine!"

If Zhang Yanling said this on weekdays, Zhang Heling would definitely be very angry and even disdainful, thinking that Zhang Yanling was making excuses.

But now that Zhang Yanling said it, Zhang Heling has no way to refute it.

Zhu Youtang and his wife did have a good relationship, but the biggest problem came from the weak emperor's heir. In this case, the queens of all dynasties would take the initiative to accept advice from the emperor, select the beautiful women from the people to enter the palace, and choose the best concubines as concubines to ensure the number of emperor's heirs. But now Empress Zhang is jealous and cannot accommodate other women at all. Even if the emperor tolerate Empress Zhang once or twice, for the long term, for the sake of the country, he will follow the advice of the ministers to accept concubines, not to mention that men do have that need.

It is better for Zhang Yanling to give women to the emperor than to find women himself. Zhang Yanling can also gain the emperor's trust by this, which cannot be said to be a completely bad thing.

"Even if you make sense, what's going on after that?" Zhang Heling did not scold again, but wanted to know what he had given birth to tonight.

Zhang Yanling was a little helpless. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "I was drunk at that time and thought... I was a good thing immediately. As soon as I entered the house, I was hit hard on my head and fainted. As for where I went, I didn't know, but after I woke up, I heard the words of those people, as if... came out of the palace. My sister seemed to know about this and wanted to kill this woman to vent her anger."

Zhang Yanling deliberately did not say that he would send a woman to Chen Xi because this incident was also concealed by Zhang Heling, and Zhang Heling was more about winning over Chen Xi than coercion.

"What did those people say, I'll tell you in detail!"

In anger, Zhang Heling could only ask clearly.

This time, Zhang Yanling didn't hide much, and he told me what he heard in the yard. Because Chen Xi designed the drama, Zhang Heling did not find any flaws after hearing it. Zhang Heling also felt that only people from the palace had the ability to follow Zhang Yanling and kidnap the woman who hid Zhang Yanling away.

"If it was really done by the queen, it would be a blessing in disgrace. At least for the reputation of the Zhang family, she would not be too harsh." Zhang Heling said, "I just regard this as the queen to remind you and make you honest. Don't use these sluts to deceive Your Majesty. But I'm afraid there is someone else behind you."

Zhang Yanling had anger on his face: "Who else wants that woman to die except her sister? Everyone is missing now, and it is impossible to find her back. Fortunately, I didn't mention it to Your Majesty, otherwise it would be impossible to end."

"In this way, you will enter the palace with me tomorrow..."

"Don't think about it!"

Zhang Yanling said firmly, "Does my elder brother want me to admit my mistakes and my sister? Is it because my sister scolds me and my mother also nags me?"

Zhang Heling didn't know how to answer for a while.

In theory, since Queen Zhang already knows this, she should be honest with the queen, so that the family can get along with each other.

But the queen did this very fiercely, kidnapped and killed the person directly, and even Zhang Yanling almost suffered a disaster. Entering the palace like this would mean that the three Zhang siblings and sisters broke up directly.

Zhang Yanling continued: "Brother, you should pretend that nothing is born in this matter. If my sister asks you and I to go to the palace to ask, it will not be too late for me to admit my mistakes with her."

Zhang Heling thoughtful: "The queen must be furious when she learned that Your Majesty had other women. After all, they are husband and wife. If this matter cannot be resolved successfully, I am afraid that there will be a gap between Your Majesty and the Queen... All of this is caused by you!"

"I admit that I did something wrong, but to be fair, my brother really thinks there is no reason for me to do this? Your Majesty is diligent and loving the people. There are so many loyal and upright ministers in the court, but they are very fond of you and my brother. After all, it is not because we can help Your Majesty do things? If my sister has any faults or something happens to the prince, if we do nothing, the Zhang family may collapse. Brother, I am considering Zhang's future."

It was originally a flattery to the emperor, but at the same time, in order to satisfy his selfish desires, Zhang Yanling said it seemed to be for the benefit of the family.

When Queen Zhang heard this, she would definitely scold him because what he did was to destroy the relationship between her sister and her family. However, due to the interests of the Zhang family, Zhang Heling could not scold her younger brother like Queen Zhang did.

Everything must be kept behind. The queen was seriously ill and could survive, but if she did it again, she would be indefinitely!
