In the Daming Palace.
At this time, Empress Zhangsun was sitting in the imperial study, looking very anxious.
Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and the others were also waiting for Li Shimin anxiously.
Originally, they came to report the news brought back by the spies in Chang 'an City and all the prefectures. But they learned that Huang Degui went to the Retired Emperor to complain, which made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
It was going to be Li Yuan's birthday soon!
Now there was such a big mess. What should they do?
The temperature in the evening was obviously lower, but everyone's faces were still full of sweat, and they didn't dare to wipe it off.
Although Empress Zhangsun was sitting there with a calm face and reading the Emperor's poetry collection, everyone knew that the Empress was the most terrible at this time.
"What time is it? Xiaohuan? "
After a long time, Empress Zhangsun asked lightly.
Her personal maid hurried to the door and looked for a while, and then reported with trepidation, "Your Highness, it's the evening now!"
"Still no news of His Majesty?"
"Your Highness, my son Shuyu sent a letter. His Majesty is drunk … Maybe, maybe he's on his way back!"
Wei Zheng was a little guilty, but he still spoke frankly.
"A person who can control the whole situation and make it so watertight, who also has such a novel salt-making skill, and who can make such good wine and food. Your Excellency Wei, tell me, what do you think of Zhang Feng?"
"This …"
Wei Zheng was a little confused about the Empress's intention. He exchanged glances with the others, and then said truthfully.
"Your Highness, we can't catch up with Zhang Feng's knowledge. Moreover, I, Minister Du, Fang Shangshu, and Shang Shangshu have all talked about his knowledge. This person's knowledge is basically the best of a hundred schools of thought."
"This old subject was fortunate enough to witness his talent. Although he kept talking about business matters, it seems that this lad has a bright future in the business world."
"But I heard that this person doesn't like money or these things. Why are there so many people like him? Is he really willing to stay in a run-down tavern? "
Seeing that everyone was nervous.
Empress Zhangsun smiled faintly: "This is not the imperial court, this concubine is also a little curious about this child, that's all. Everyone, there is no need to be reserved. After all, His Majesty wants the Crown Prince to learn the way of ruling the country from him. This concubine is his mother, so I have to know about the Crown Prince's teacher!"
Hearing this, everyone could not help but heave a deep sigh of relief.
In an instant, everyone started talking.
"Niang niang, I, Old Cheng, know a little. Brother Zhang Feng … Although he's just a small tavern's shopkeeper, his ability to command is something that I can't catch up to! He is a piece of military material. Yes, an unpolished jade! "
"Old Black! When did you reserve him? "
"This old man thinks that his talent and knowledge, as well as his analysis of the current situation, are enough to look down on the world. Our Tang Dynasty's Imperial Court urgently needs the injection of such fresh blood! Only in this way can the Imperial Court, which is like a pool of stagnant water, have a trace of vitality! "
"If I may be so bold as to ask …"
"What? I haven't made a decision yet. Are you all in a hurry to rope him in? "
Just as Wei Zheng was about to kneel down and ask the Empress for permission, Li Shimin's voice suddenly sounded behind everyone.
Everyone was so scared that they hurriedly knelt down to welcome him.
Li Shimin's face was full of unhappiness.
He glared at Wei Zheng and the others. Under the worried eyes of Empress Zhangsun, he sat down on the dragon throne.
Li Shimin was very surprised.
Wei Zheng and Zhang Feng had only met two or three times. How could such an upright and plainspoken person like him be willing to lower his noble head and humbly beg the Empress for Zhang Feng's sake?
How rare!
This was truly a rare sight!
From this, it could be seen that Zhang Feng's charm was very strong.
"I know that all of you are thinking of the Tang Dynasty, but let's talk about this later. I have an extremely important matter to discuss now!"
Empress Zhangsun heard this.
She stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first!"
As the Empress left.
Everyone's eyes were burning.
Everyone knew why the Emperor left the palace this time. They couldn't tell whether the Emperor had solved this matter or not, but from his words, they could tell that he was in control of the whole situation. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, have you found a way to solve the problem with the Retired Emperor?"
"Let's not talk about this first. There's another matter, which is more important than this. If it goes well, the Tang Dynasty will immediately enter a prosperous era. If it fails, the Tang Dynasty will face a disaster!"
"What?"
"A disaster?"
Everyone was shocked.
Was it really so serious?
What was it?
"Did the Turks march southward?"
"No! I just received the news that Longyou Road didn't receive any sign of the Turks' army. There was no one else except for the group of envoys who came to the capital! "
Everyone was anxious.
But they couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, Li Shimin heaved a long sigh.
"I saw the Crown Prince and Princess of Zhenla entering a tavern today!"
"…"
