Let's talk about this year's Shu Palace. The weather of the New Year is really different from the past. Zhang Fan: They are the first time this year. I'm afraid there won't be a second time. It's New Year's time here. Nature is not known. But people who used to spend the New Year here. But it can be seen clearly.

Speaking of which. This is somewhat unexpected. The reason is actually. It's all just because of one person. Wang Xilie.

It sounds a little incredible. A Wang Xilie. Even if he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, what can he do? This is the royal palace. How much influence can he have on his own. Not to mention. Wang Xilie only came to Sichuan with Zhang Fan this time. Not primarily.

But this year's Shu Wangfu is different. And it's because of him. The reason is actually a bit bizarre. That was yesterday. That is, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month. Zhu Xuanqi went to find him. Find him what to do. Find him. Let him arrange all the matters of the Shu Wangfu today.

I heard that the Shu Wangfu was in previous years. Although various festivals are also held according to the rules of the palace. But it's always a bit rudimentary. Or so to speak. People here. Some don't really want to make a holiday too serious.

But this year is different. After all, this year's New Year's Eve. It's not just people from the Shu Dynasty. There are also Zhang Fan, the original distinguished guests. And Wang Xilie is also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. For these things. Naturally, they are familiar with the way. So Zhu Xuanqi is here to get rid of Wang Xilie. Let him preside over today's business. What to do in the palace. What to do. All listened to Wang Xilie's arrangement.

And for Zhu Xuanqi's request. Wang Xilie naturally had no objections. Although it is said that he still arranges these things in such a spare time. It's a bit unsatisfactory. But in fact, Wang Xilie is for this kind of thing. On the contrary, I felt a little happy in my heart. Just as he said to Zhang Fan a few days ago. This time. Idle is idle. But it's also a little too quiet. There is nothing to do for so many days. I really feel uncomfortable panicked. There is something to do now. Used as a distraction. That's a good thing.

Merely. This thing seems really interesting to others. After all, the reason why Zhu Xuanqi did this. Make a Chinese New Year so formal. Speaking of which, it was just for the arrival of Zhang Fan and his party. But nowadays. He is the one who made Wang Xilie a distinguished guest. to set up the arrangement. Then come and entertain himself. Speaking of which. It's really funny.

But it's funny. But since they've done it all, it's nothing. And such a formal ceremony. Everything. Wang Fuzhong didn't know how long he hadn't seen it. Start with a heaven and earth table. to pick up the gods, step on the gods, and so on. Although it was also done during the New Year in the palace in the past. But it is not as detailed as Wang Xilie's arrangement now.

And these rites. Although cumbersome. But this is not a palace after all. You don't need to be so serious. The people below didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. In this way, it will not lose the excitement of the New Year. So Zhu Xuanqi also explained. These things today. You don't have to observe so many etiquettes. You can do whatever you want. Don't be too restrictive.

But let's not talk about the adults. The kids were so happy. Although the Wang family celebrates the New Year. Naturally, it will not be like ordinary people. Send red envelopes or something. But when it comes to the New Year. Even adults put their bodies down. Relax. And now that even the adults are relaxed. Then the same is true for children.

After all, they are the descendants of the Wang family. Even if it's a branch. But the blood is there. Even if life is not very good. But you must not disgrace the surname Zhu. So on weekdays. These children are not having a good time. Pay attention to various rules. There is no freedom at all. But today. I was able to let it all go. Naturally, the children were very happy.

From morning to afternoon. In the garden of the royal palace. It's all children chasing and fighting. It's also a bit of fun.

Zhang Fan after talking to Zhao Zijie. The possibility in my heart is also becoming more and more determined. He already thought. That incident is inseparable from Zhao Zijie. And the relationship is very deep. Now he is testing Zhao Zijie. After seeing the change in his expression. Zhang Fan was also able to confirm it. My guess was not wrong. Zhao Zijie definitely has a lot to do with this matter. But what the hell. Now as long as Zhao Zijie's trouble has not come to the door. They won't know.

Originally. After the afternoon. Joanna was going to take Zhang Fan out with her. Although there are many people in the palace. And there are many people who come to her to talk to. But Joanna noticed that the people were looking at her. Always with a sense of curiosity. This feeling made her feel very bad. It was as if everyone was looking at her as an anomaly. To escape this kind of thing. Joanna was going to go out. Although people on the street look at her as well. But I don't look at her like that all day. But she also found it boring alone. So I want to pull Zhang Fan together.

And Zhang Fan originally planned to agree. After all, he didn't have anything to do. Even if it is to wait for Zhao Zi's outstanding deeds. But how to think. Those people wouldn't be stupid enough to come out in broad daylight. Case. It's not bad to go out with Joanna. Although it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Families are united in their homes. But the streets are still very lively. It's also a different flavor to see.

Merely. Zhang Fan's plan. It was interrupted again. Just as the two walked out of the palace gate. But I happened to see Liang Chao's figure. Obviously, something came to Zhang Fan.

I saw Liang Chao coming. Joanna couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. Zhang Fan saw it clearly. But there's no way he's going to leave things behind. Regardless of it. So he had to show a helpless and sorry look to Joanna. Originally. Zhang Fan still wants to explain. But Joanna looked understanding. A man went out into the street.

This made Zhang Fan feel even more sorry in his heart. But now he can't do it.

Liang Chao did not enter the palace. Instead, he returned to Yamen with Zhang Fan and the others. After all, the palace is full of people today. And they are all from the Shu Dynasty. And Zhang Fan, what they want to talk about. It is precisely related to the throne of the king of Shu. If the partition wall has ears. I was listened to by someone inside. I'm afraid it's going to make a big mess. So Zhang Fan still chooses to be cautious. Let's talk about it when we go back to the Yamen.

Although today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Even if it's Jinyiwei. As long as it's not someone who still has something to do. They will also have a half-day off. Let them go home for the New Year. But now the yamen is not empty. There are still quite a few people here.

And after Zhang Fan went in. Wang Meng was also sitting inside.

"How's it going. Nothing was found. After Zhang Fan entered the house. I haven't had time to sit down yet. He asked.

"Your Excellency. Humble duty found something. Wang Meng said to Zhang Fan. It's just that I really can't figure it out. That's why it's at this time. Let Liang Chao go to find an adult. ”

"It doesn't matter. Now the palace is full of people from the Shu king's line. I don't have much to do. Zhang Fan said. Now that something has been found. Let's talk about it. Let's see if there's anything in our favor. ”

"Humble as your lord commands. Go and find out what happened twenty years ago in the Shu Palace. Wang Meng said. Although there are some records in our yamen. But most of them are about important events. And the power of the Shu Wangfu is not small. It's hard for us adults to get in. So even if it is recorded in the yamen. But it's not exhaustive.

"So I had to go straight to someone. Look at the people who were in the palace twenty years ago. Ask them if something is wrong. In today's royal palace. Almost none of the older ones are gone. I think it's been replaced. And even some are over thirty or forty years old. But most of them were recruited more than ten years ago when the prince had just succeeded to the throne. So it's not clear what happened before.

"And some others. Asked the place. But to get there. Either you can't find anyone. Moved away; Either that, or the person is no longer there. Until early this morning. Finally let the lowly job find one. This man was originally in the palace of the king. I heard that he has been from Jiajing for twenty years. has been in Longqing for five years. Thirty years. Merely. This man is because he is a guy in the house. For things in the palace. I don't know much about it, I'm afraid. But now there is no one else to be found. I had to go and meet him.

"When the lowly man sees him. Ask him about twenty years ago. Did anything big happen in the palace? But the man said no. Listen to what he has to say. During the reign of King Kang. The palace is very stable. Nothing ever happened. And this man is now sixty years old. But the body is very tough. Deaf and blind. It's not like the kind of look that you can't remember. He's sure. Twenty years ago, nothing major had happened in the palace.

"Originally, I thought this was another way of thinking. Later I remembered. The adult wants to humiliate himself to investigate the matter of Zhao Zijie. So the lowly asked the man. There is no one surnamed Zhao in the palace. Something happened.

"Now. The man remembered immediately. It seems that Zhao Zijie's father. It is also quite famous in the palace. This man had never even met him. But I've heard about him. And it's just as Zhao Zijie said. His father was expelled from the palace because of something. It's just that this person doesn't know what it's for. All he knew was about it. ”

"In that case. Zhao Zijie's words are true. Zhang Fan said.

"Nope. My lord. Not necessarily. Wang Meng interrupted Zhang Fan's words. The man said. This thing. It happened eighteen years ago. By this year. It's eighteen years. It was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
