Chapter 153 Give it to Li Hong
The carriage slowly moved forward, and Zhang Jianzhi in the car was still in deep thought. Zhang Zong gave three candidates before, but after queuing up Liu Rengui, Zhang Jianzhi didn't know whether to choose Li Hong or Princess Chengyang, because these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages.
If you choose Princess Chengyang, it may cause Li Hong's dissatisfaction without Li Hong's hands. However, if you choose Li Hong, Zhang Jianzhi is a little worried because he is Li Sujie's person after all. In a sense, Li Sujie and Li Hong are actually in a state of competition, so he doesn't know whether it is correct to hand over the theory of loyalty and filial piety to Li Hong?
"Forget it, let's leave it to the prince. Although Princess Chengyang is favored, she is a woman after all and does not participate in government affairs. In comparison, the prince seems to be more suitable for doing this, and it is more certain to leave it to him!" Zhang Jianzhi thought for a long time, and finally made a choice.
"Uncle wise, I think the prince is the best choice!" Zhang Zong also let go of his heart at this time. Li Hong is the prince after all. If he chooses him, Zhang Zong can convince the other party and provide more protection to Zhang Jianzhi so that he will not be implicated by Wu Meiniang's anger.
"Zong'er, in your opinion, is the prince really a person who can assist?" Zhang Jianzhi asked with some concern at this time. Now he knew that Zhang Zong had intervened in the power struggle between the prince and Wu Meiniang, so he was worried that Zhang Zongsheng would be in danger. After all, this kind of power struggle could be accidentally confiscated and destroyed the family.
"Uncle, don't worry, I have known the prince for a long time. In my opinion, he is a generous person and he is very dependent on me. In addition, the prince's health is gradually improving, and the situation in the court has begun to turn to the prince."
Although Zhang Zong did not say it clearly, Zhang Jianzhi could also hear that as long as Li Hong's health was fine, Wu Meiniang would not have any chance.
"That's good, but Zong'er, you have to be careful. There are traps everywhere in the court. If you are not careful, you may fall into other people's trap. You must act within your ability and never act impulsively!" Zhang Jianzhi finally reminded him again. Although he knew that Zhang Zong was not an ordinary person, he was still too young after all, and his second brother only left such a single seedling, so he had to worry.
Zhang Zong also felt warm in his heart for this uncle's concern, but then he frowned and said, "Uncle, it is easy to ask the prince to write a letter to King Xun, and it is not difficult to allow him to return to the capital. However, with his identity, returning to the capital is not a good thing, and it may even bring greater disasters!"
Li Sujie's identity is really too sensitive. Even if Zhang Zong can convince Li Hong not to target him, there is also Wu Meiniang. You must know that Li Sujie and Wu Meiniang have a grudge against killing their mother. With Wu Meiniang's personality, even if Li Sujie does not intend to take revenge, if she always keeps in front of her, she may find a way to get rid of it.
This is the second time that Zhang Zong said this, and Zhang Jianzhi sighed after hearing this: "Actually, I have advised King Xun to be patient before, but King Xun has been demoted to the limit for so many years, and he really doesn't want to endure it anymore. This time he wrote a letter, which is actually betting that His Majesty will think about the relationship between father and son, thereby relaxing supervision of him!"
Zhang Zong felt a deep heart when he heard this. He had never seen Li Sujie, but from his uncle's description, he could also feel the despair of Li Sujie. From the tragic death of Concubine Xiao Shu to the present, he had been demoted to Shenzhou for just ten years. In the past ten years, he was under surveillance day and night and had no freedom at all. This is a cruel torture for anyone. People with poor psychological endurance might have gone crazy long ago.
"In addition, for King Xun, being demoted outside can't escape the surveillance of the queen of heaven. Since that's the case, it's better to go back to Chang'an directly. At least here, the queen of heaven dares not attack him openly, so he will be safer." Zhang Jianzhi said again at this time.
After hearing this, Zhang Zong felt something was right. No matter where Zhang Sujie stayed, he could not escape Wu Meiniang's suspicion, but the most dangerous place was also the safest place. After all, Chang'an was at the foot of the emperor. Wu Meiniang was not the only one in the family. There was Li Zhi above and there was a Li Hong who was eyeing him next to him, so Wu Meiniang had to be a little concerned about doing things.
"I have heard that King Xun is extremely smart, but now it seems that he is indeed well-known!" Zhang Zong couldn't help but show his admiration at this time.
Li Sujie in history has almost no fame because he has been under Wu Meiniang's clutches all his life and has no chance to escape. Moreover, his desperate attempt failed, which has left him with no chance to show himself. But now Zhang Zong has made a great change in His Highness Xun. If he bet right this time, maybe he can really cause some storms?
When he returned home, Zhang Jianzhi took out a wooden box from his luggage, and then carefully opened it, and took out a memorial from it. It was the "On Loyalty and Filial Piety" written by Li Sujie himself.
"Zong'er, I'll leave this book of the Loyalty and Filial Piety to you!" Zhang Jianzhi solemnly handed the Loyalty and Filial Piety to Zhang Zong's hand and said.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go to meet the prince now!" Zhang Zong took the memorial and spoke solemnly.
"Now? Is it a bit too late?" Zhang Jianzhi also showed a surprised expression when he heard Zhang Zong's words, because it was almost dark when they came back. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to disturb the prince so late?
"It's okay, the prince gave me the right to see him at any time, even if it's dark!" Zhang Zong replied with a smile, which also surprised Zhang Jianzhi again. It seemed that Li Hong really valued his nephew very much.
Zhang Zong brought Zhongxiaolun to Furong Garden and soon met Li Hong. What he didn't expect was that Li Hong was actually having supper. When he saw Zhang Zong coming in, he smiled and said, "It's really time for you to come. Should you eat together?"
"You don't have to be polite, I've eaten it at home." Zhang Zong refused with a smile. It was not that he was reserved, but that he couldn't raise his appetite when he looked at the vegetables and tofu in front of Li Hong. However, Li Hong was really friendly. Since last year's persistence, his diet has always maintained a light taste. Eating fish occasionally can improve his life.
Li Hong didn't be polite to Zhang Zong when he heard this. He picked up the bowl and drank the rice porridge in one go. Then he ate a few more bites of the dishes before he asked, "You must have something important to come so late, right?"
"The prince guessed well. I do have an important memorial here to present to the prince!" Zhang Zong said as he took out Li Sujie's theory of loyalty and filial piety from his sleeve, and then sent it to Li Hong with both hands, but did not explain the origin of the memorial.
Li Hong didn't think much about it, and took the memorial and opened it casually. However, when he saw the content on the memorial, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he realized and looked up at Zhang Zong in surprise and said, "This... is this the fourth brother's memorial?"
"Yes, yesterday my uncle came to the capital from Xiangzhou and brought this article about loyalty and filial piety by King Xun!" Zhang Zong said directly. Li Zhi has eight sons, and Li Hong is only the eldest son, but if Li Zhong, Li Sujie and others are included, he is actually ranked fifth. Li Sujie is five years older than Li Hong, and fourth.
"Your uncle?" Li Hong didn't react at first, but then he remembered that Zhang Zong's uncle Zhang Jianzhi had worked as Cao Shenjun in Li Sujie's mansion and was deeply trusted by Li Sujie, so it was normal for this memorial to appear in his hands.
"Uncle was entrusted by King Xun, and he went to the capital to offer this theory of loyalty and filial piety to His Majesty, hoping to impress His Majesty and ask His Majesty to withdraw the ban on King Xun. However, I felt that this was too risky, so I finally convinced Uncle to give him the memorial to me and I will hand it over to the crown prince!" Zhang Zong explained again.
"Leave it to me?" Li Hong thought about Zhang Zong's words for a moment, and immediately guessed his intention. Then he couldn't help but smile, "I understand, do you want me to hand over this memorial from the Fourth Brother to the Emperor?"
