In front of the gate of the Zhang Mansion, flags were waving and the wind was clamoring. More than a thousand cavalrymen in bright armor protected the dragon carriage of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and thousands of soldiers from the Dragon Martial Army drove away the onlookers. Soon, the gate of the Zhang Mansion was slowly opened. With the support of Zhang Huan and Zhang Can, Zhang Ruohao led his clan members out of the mansion to welcome the sage.

"My minister Zhang Ruohao led his clan members to meet with His Majesty the Emperor!"

He knelt down for Li Shi with difficulty. Behind him, Taiyuan Yin Han Yannian and nearly a hundred tribe members who were officials in Hedong knelt one by one, and then behind him were hundreds of Zhang clan members.

Li Shi held a eunuch's shoulder and walked down the dragon chariot quickly. He took two steps, helped Zhang Ruohao up and said with a smile: "I came to Hedong for inspection, so I want to come and see Zhang Aiqing."

He glanced at Han Yannian behind him and asked a little strangely: "Why is Han Jun here too?"

"Today, Zhang's family meeting was held, and I came here specially for this."

"Oh!" The Li Shi turned around and smiled at Zhang Ruohao, "I came here without invitation, didn't disturb you to hold a clan meeting!"

"Your Majesty is one step late, and the Zhang clan meeting has ended."

Zhang Ruohao smiled and pulled Zhang Can, "Your Majesty, this is the heir to the head of our Zhang family decided."

Zhang Can immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The grass man Zhang Can kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Shi quickly glanced at Zhang Huan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he smiled and said, "It's a joy to congratulate the Zhang family, so I'll have fun too!"

He looked at Zhang Can, smiled faintly and said, "Since you have been the heir to the Zhang family head, I will officially appoint you as Viscount of Yuxiang."

"The grass people thank the emperor for his kindness!"

"The old minister also thanked Your Majesty for your priest's grace." Zhang Ruohao thanked in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty must work hard all the way. Please go to Zhang's mansion to rest."

Li Shi waved his hand, "I am really tired when I walk fast all the way, but I have the Beidu Palace, so I won't go to Zhang's Mansion."

After saying that, he winked at Zhang Huan, then returned to the dragon's carriage, the flags swung, and the large group of people turned north. Zhang Ruohao patted Zhang Huan's hand and smiled: "Go! You have to walk the road in the future."

Zhang Huan took a step back and knelt down to Zhang Ruohao. He kowtowed three times and said in a choked voice: "The kindness of the head of the family is engraved in Zhang Huan's heart, and he will repay him in the future."

Zhang Ruohao nodded, his eyes turned slightly red. He sighed and turned around and left with Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan stared at his staggering back in a daze. He suddenly felt a strong feeling that this might be the last time he and the head of the family met.

After a while, the front of the Zhang Mansion's gate became empty and there was no one else in the tribe.

"General, the emperor has gone far away!" Li Panyu whispered to Zhang Huan.

Zhang Huan turned over the horse, and he never looked back. He whipped hard, and the horse accelerated and rushed north under the escort of two hundred cavalrymen.

After the Li team entered the city, the streets of Taiyuan became extremely lively. Taiyuan was the place where Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty started, and emperors of all dynasties were often fortunate to be here. Therefore, although the Taiyuan people did not respect the emperor as Chang'an people, they also had a sense of awe. The emperor had already gone far away, but countless people who came out to greet the emperor still gathered together and refused to disperse for a long time.

Zhang Huan's horse speed gradually slowed down, and at this moment he suddenly heard someone calling him, "General Zhang!"

I saw a group of people coming to the opposite side. The leader was Han Yannian, the Yin of Taiyuan. Han Yannian was also a student of the Zhang family. He was about fifty years old, but his face did not look old, and he looked just in his forties.

He had just escorted the emperor's carriage and drove away, but Li Shi ordered him to stay and wait for Zhang Huan. Han Yannian urged him to come forward and whisper: "Your Majesty is not at ease with Shangshu Zhang, I'll remind you to leave some soldiers to protect his safety."

"Thank you, the envoy Han, for reminding me that I have left behind a hundred elite soldiers."

Zhang Huan slowed down his horse and ran with him, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for helping Han Jun for the clan meeting."

But Han Yannian beat him up and asked in discomfort: "What is General Zhang talking about? I don't understand."

Zhang Huan also smiled. He stopped mentioning this matter. Suddenly, he discovered an interesting scene. The trees along the road were covered with colorful ribbons, and the ribbons were written on them. Many people were tying the ribbons that had just been written on the tree.

"Eunuch Han, what are you doing?" Zhang Huan pointed to the ribbon on the big tree and said with a smile: "Is it to welcome the emperor?"

"No!" Han Yannian shook, and he pulled off a ribbon and handed it to Zhang Huan, "The general will know when you look."

Zhang Huan took the ribbon and saw that it said: "Congratulations to Lanling Music House for taking the lead."

He became even more confused. Seeing that he looked confused, Han Yannian couldn't help but ask in surprise: "General Zhang is also from Taiyuan. Have you forgotten the Sanjin Quhui every August?"

Zhang Huan slapped his forehead and woke up like a dream. Since the ten years of Qingzhi, there have been grand music festivals in Taiyuan every year from the end of August to the beginning of September. Music workshops from all over Hedong gathered together to compete for the annual No. 1 music festival championship. This was originally just an industry competition, but there are many famous singers and music festivals in the music festival. After they competed on stage, they attracted a large number of people's interest. Gradually, this industry competition has become an entertainment event in Taiyuan. This year, the official and private music festivals in Chang'an, Jianghuai, and Bashu also came to make fun, and the Sanjin music festival has become a grand event in Taiyuan.

"I have been busy with family affairs these days, so I forgot about it."

Zhang Huan looked at the colored sticks in his hand again and smiled: "I remember that Lanling Music House lost to the String Dance Music House last year, and he didn't even enter the top three. This year it won the first place. What's the reason?"

Han Yannian shook his head and smiled, "Who knows? I heard that many top musicians have entered from all over the place, and they are very powerful, and the sounds are covered in Taiyuan City. I really don't know how much money it has?"

"Maybe it will find a few rich wealthy people to support you!" Zhang Huan smiled and ignored the matter.

The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Jinyang Palace. Jinyang Palace was located in the north of the city and was built in the Sui Dynasty. After several generations of Tang monarchs, it became the largest building complex in Taiyuan. However, most of the Anshi Rebellion was destroyed by Shi Siming. Later, the Tang Dynasty practiced rigorous economies and did not renovate it. It only sorted the remaining palace into a palace, which was managed by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs.

The front of Jinyang Palace was already heavily guarded. The cold and deserted tree and crow land suddenly became lively. There were teams of patrolling soldiers everywhere, and all nearby roads were closed.

"Brother Zhang, have you not been captured by Princess Huihe?" Zhu Li came up with a long smile. Zhang Huan jumped off the horse and greeted him with a smile. "Brother Zhu hasn't received the reward yet, how can I leave?"

The two of them were like close friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they each punched each other and laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty has rested and it will take the afternoon to summon you. I'll invite you to drink!" Zhu Li put his arms around Zhang Huan's shoulder and walked out of the palace. Poor Han Yannian was stopped by several soldiers and searched him carefully. He could not move forward or retreat. He could only look at Zhang Huan disappearing outside the palace gate.

"Your Majesty is going to have a banquet for officials from Beidu tonight. You and I are all working hard. Maybe I don't have a date to attend. Just eat more at noon!"

In a small restaurant one mile away from Jinyang Palace, Zhu Li poured a glass of wine for Zhang Huan and said with some emotion: "You take one step first, so I will have the chance to get in touch with the emperor. It turns out that he is actually a kind person. People say that they are like tigers. I think this is false."

Zhang Huan raised his wine glass and smiled faintly: "You are from Jinwuwei. Of course he is polite to you, but he is different to me. Last time he was angry in Fengxiang, an inkstone flew over, almost making my head bloom. If Brother Zhu is willing, I would rather exchange it with you."

Zhu Li smiled, "Brother Zhang is really good at joking. You and I are both dogs who care about households. Just do your duty well. Come on! I'll give you a cup."

Zhang Huan also smiled. After drinking a few drinks, Zhang Huan suddenly saw the personal soldier Chen Ping wink at the door. He stood up without saying a word and said, "Brother Zhu drink first, I'll go and make some changes."

As he said that, he pushed the door out and turned around for a while, Zhang Huan stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Someone sent this." Chen Ping handed him an envelope.

Zhang Huan pulled out the letter inside, and there was a painting inside. There were ten people lying by the river, as if they were dead. The fierce battle in the distance was in full swing, and only a few strokes were drawn, but the subtle figure was drawn.

Zhang Huan sneered. He knew that the matter was not over that night. The yellow bird would definitely come out before he left Taiyuan. Now it is indeed here.

“Where are the others?”

"Waiting for the general downstairs."

Zhang Huan nodded, turned around and walked downstairs. Chen Ping took him to a Ya Room. The doors and windows of the Ya Room were hollowed out, and a thin layer of veil was pasted. Through the veil, you could see two people standing on the left and right inside the door. Perhaps because he realized that Zhang Huan had arrived, the door opened by itself before he could push the door.

Through the half-open door, I saw a young man holding a square fan sitting inside the door looking at him with a smile. He slowly got up and walked forward and bowed to Zhang Huanshen and said, "Brother, is General Zhang Huan, Tianqi Camp?"

Seeing that he was handsome and elegant, Zhang Huan smiled faintly and said, "I am Zhang Huan, may I ask the surname of the young master?"
