After listening to Xiao Dezi's report, Zhang Heng took a sip of tea and sneered disdainfully: "Just do what they want, cut it down."

"But..." Xiao Dezi hesitated, "You know better than me how difficult it is for the Imperial Guard to cultivate those strongholds. Those people didn't show up during the vassal rebellion, but now they come out. Fighting for power."

Compared to Xiao Dezi's nervousness, Zhang Heng is calm and composed: "I have long expected that they will take this action. Don't worry, let's go along with the flow and cut down those strongholds. First, we won't embarrass the emperor, and second It also seems that the Department of Imperial Guards is thinking about the overall situation of the government."

"Then we will lose our left and right arms in the future, and we will be hindered everywhere in our actions." Xiao Dezi was very worried.

Zhang Heng smiled: "Don't worry too much, let's lie dormant for a while, I promise, after this period of time, the power of the Imperial Guard Department will be greater than before, and the court and the emperor will need more guards than before. Company." Afterwards, Zhang Heng whispered a few words in Xiao Dezi's ear.Xiao Dezi nodded understandingly.

In the evening, Shen Lingyue and Zhang Heng ate together in the cabin.

Seeing Shen Lingyue carefully pick up vegetables and serve soup for herself, Zhang Heng had already forgotten about the turmoil in the court.

"You're so busy, you need to eat more to replenish your body." Shen Lingyue thoughtfully picked a lot of dishes for Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng hugged Shen Lingyue's shoulders, and couldn't help thinking in his heart that he didn't know when he would be able to retire successfully and live a simple life with her.

"Yue'er." Zhang Heng hugged her shoulder and called.

Shen Lingyue raised her head and looked at him with a smile.

"After returning to the capital, I'm afraid I will wrong you. For the convenience of business affairs, we can only live in a hidden place in the suburbs." Before solving the disputes in the court and Wu Siyuan, Zhang Heng felt that he had no choice but to do something wrong. .

Shen Lingyue nodded without expressing any objection.

Seeing her nodding her head obediently, Zhang Heng couldn't help feeling sour. She was still that silly Shen Lingyue, who always believed in her own words and treated herself so purely and sincerely.It's just that before Wu Siyuan is dealt with, he can only "hidden in the golden house".In the past, due to her own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, she underestimated his thoughts on Shen Lingyue and his destructive power. If he hadn't been a hindrance, Shen Lingyue would not have been able to meet the Shen family in that situation, and would not have been killed because of this. take things too hard.Right now, as the Wu family rises step by step, I have to guard against him.In fact, it is easy to get rid of Wu Siyuan, but it is his father who needs to be worried. Recently, the emperor has paid more and more attention to the Wu family, so he needs to make a long-term plan.

After returning to the capital, Zhang Heng arranged for Shen Lingyue to live in a secluded house in the suburbs. In order not to make her feel depressed, he specially prepared a lot of seeds for her and asked her to plant various flowers and plants in the garden.Once, Zhang Heng came back from outside and brought her a cat.

Shen Lingyue especially likes this white, fat, and very lazy cat. She hugs her in her arms all day long and teases her non-stop.

One evening, after dinner, the two of them enjoyed the moon and cool off in the yard.

Shen Lingyue leaned under Zhang Heng's arms, holding the white cat in her arms, and said softly: "This cat doesn't have a name yet, let's give it a name."

Zhang Heng took a sip of tea, then smiled: "What name do you want?"

Shen Lingyue thought for a while and said, "How about calling it Ah Heng?"

After hearing this, Zhang Heng almost spit out the tea in his mouth, then frowned and said, "Why do I have the same name as me? Why do I have the same name as a cat?"

"It's eternal." Shen Lingyue corrected.

"That sounds the same." Zhang Heng said with a frown.

Shen Lingyue said with a sweet smile: "Because I like you and this cat, I gave it the same pronunciation."

Zhang Heng's words sounded very useful, but she still didn't want to sound like a cat, otherwise she couldn't tell whether she was calling herself or a cat when she barked.

In the end, Zhang Heng decided to call it Baipangzi, which means white and fat.

Shen Lingyue felt that this name was too blunt and unpleasant, so she finally made a compromise and had to call it Ah Bai.

On the other side of the court, some people participated in the proposal to abolish the stronghold of the Imperial Guard Division, and at the same time, more and more people seconded the proposal.

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Heng would fly into a rage and even stop it at all costs, Zhang Heng calmly expressed that he had no objection, and he followed the emperor's orders without any hesitation.

On the surface, some strongholds have been cut down, but in fact, Zhang Heng has secretly stepped up his control and contact with the strongholds of the Imperial Guard Department, and he is always aware of any disturbances in various places.

One day, after the court meeting ended, Zhang Heng in official uniform strode out of Zhenghe Hall, but met Wu Siyuan head-on.

Zhang Heng stopped in his tracks, and looked coldly at Wu Siyuan who was opposite him, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

After Wu Siyuan approached, he said in a low voice: "Master Zhang seems to be in a good mood. Unfortunately, Miss Shen passed away."

Zhang Heng stared at him closely: "Yue'er is mine, you don't deserve to mention her."

Wu Siyuan sneered disdainfully and said, "You just took advantage of your momentary power to get her. Besides, didn't you have bad intentions when you approached her?"

Zhang Heng stepped forward and grabbed Wu Siyuan's collar, and warned with a stern expression: "It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about the matter between me and her. I'll be there sooner or later for the account of your secret manipulation. I'll do the math with you with interest."

"Zhang Heng, don't think I'm afraid of you." Wu Siyuan looked at Zhang Heng coldly. "Except for the emperor, everyone in the palace is afraid of you, but I, Wu Siyuan, won't. You will never understand, I have seen it with my own eyes." How you feel after the girl I have admired for many years is in your hands. You use your power to force her to submit, do you know how shameless you are? Bullying a little girl who just entered the palace, what kind of gentleman are you? Oh, yes , you are not a gentleman in the first place, have you done too many immoral things in all these years?"

Zhang Heng realized that Wu Siyuan was deliberately irritating himself, so he let go of his hand, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, so what if you have admired her for so many years? She has been mine from the beginning to the end. You will never appreciate her beauty and kindness." Arriving." After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng tidied up his clothes, turned and left, leaving Wu Siyuan in place with an extremely resentful expression on his face.

The weather was getting hotter, and as soon as Zhang Heng returned to the courtyard in the suburbs, Shen Lingyue brought a large bowl of heat-relieving soup in front of him.

Looking at Shen Lingyue's sweet smile, Zhang Heng felt less sullen in the court today by more than half.

Afterwards, while drinking the soup, Zhang Heng held Shen Lingyue in his arms.

"Yue'er, my husband will be at home for a while." Zhang Heng said.

Shen Lingyue was very happy after hearing this, clapped her hands and said, "Then we can plant flowers and trees together, and play on the swing in the backyard together."

Zhang Heng put down the spoon and smiled softly: "Don't you want your husband to fight for fame?"

Shen Lingyue shook her head: "It doesn't matter how high the official position is. Besides, I don't want you to work too hard all day. At worst, let's go back to Yanshui Village to plant tea trees together."

Zhang Heng patted Shen Lingyue's head lightly, and smiled helplessly: "Why am I willing to let you suffer?"

"I'm not tired. Every day passed quickly in Yanshui Village."

Zhang Heng looked at Shen Lingyue's silly smile, and said nothing. In fact, what he did in court was just out of strategy, not really idle.

In the afternoon, the breeze blows.

Zhang Heng and Shen Lingyue started to plant trees in the backyard.Zhang Heng was in charge of digging and filling the hole, Shen Lingyue was in charge of planting the saplings, and then they watered them together.

Due to the hot weather, Zhang Heng's face was covered with beads of sweat after planting a row of saplings.

Shen Lingyue took out the veil and gently wiped his sweat.

Zhang Heng hugged her lightly and said, "It will take many years for these saplings to grow into big trees. I will get some mature trees some other day."

Shen Lingyue smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's okay, after all, these are the trees we planted together, we just watch them grow slowly. Besides, there is a bamboo forest behind, we can go there when it's hot Enjoy the cool."

Zhang Heng gently stroked her head, her smile was really pretty.

In the evening, the sky was thunderous and the wind was blowing everywhere.It didn't take long for it to rain cats and dogs.

Shen Lingyue looked out of the house and said anxiously: "Oops, the saplings we planted this afternoon will definitely not be able to escape the storm."

Zhang Heng comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, just pick a sunny day, and we'll just replant."

Shen Lingyue rested her chin in front of the window, pouted her mouth, and was very depressed. She worked all afternoon, but it turned out to be a waste of work, especially since it was a tree that she and her husband planted together.

Seeing Shen Lingyue's depressed mood, Zhang Heng held her in his arms and comforted her: "Anyway, I'm going to stay at home for a while, the days will be long, we can not only plant trees, but also flowers and vegetables. "

Shen Lingyue nodded, it was more important than anything else that her husband could be with her all the time.

There was a thunderstorm outside, Shen Lingyue nestled in Zhang Heng's arms, and gradually fell asleep.

Not long after, Xiao Dezi came to report something.

Zhang Heng couldn't bear to wake Shen Lingyue in his arms, so he held her in his arms while listening to Xiao Dezi's report on the recent situation in a low voice.

"Master Zhang, everything is as you expected. Right now, many people are happy because of the dismantling of the stronghold of the Imperial Guard, and they are getting more and more proud. One by one, they are acting more and more arrogantly." Xiao Dezi said in a low voice.

Zhang Heng nodded: "Let them go for now, the more relaxed they are, the better."

"Also, Mr. Zhang, I have drawn up a list of those who will take the lead in requesting the dismantling of the strongholds of the Imperial Guard this time, so we will know exactly when the time comes."

Zhang Heng smiled disdainfully: "This group of people, just keep an eye on them secretly. At that time, they will definitely regret their actions today."

Xiao Dezi kept nodding his head: "These people who don't know how to live or die will fall into our hands sooner or later. Especially that Wu Siyuan, he has been very active in the matter of cutting down the Department of Guards this time."

Zhang Heng sneered and said, "Let him jump around for a while. The most important thing is that we seize the time to investigate the Wu family. According to the current clues, General Wu secretly did a lot of tricks during the vassal rebellion."

Xiao Dezi nodded: "It's serious to take over the Wu family."

Afterwards, Xiao Dezi reported the situation in various places in detail, and before leaving, he said with a smile: "Master Zhang, if your arm is sore, you can change it to another one, lest your right arm become numb, and you cannot write or approve documents." It doesn't matter if you can't approve the paperwork, but it's troublesome if you can't hug a beauty."

Zhang Heng hindered Shen Lingyue in his arms, couldn't stand up, and could only give Xiao Dezi a hard look.Xiao Dezi had sharp eyes and quick legs, and ran away after finishing speaking.
