Chapter 148 Zhang Xutang's Marriage
This news is related to Zhang Xutang of Daxiangguo Temple.

Since Zhang Xutang entered the Daxiangguo Temple for Qingxiu, he seemed to have been influenced by the Buddha. He ate fast and recited Buddha every day.

Everyone lamented that the Buddha's magic power is boundless, and it is no problem to save the little dudes. If they practice for a year and a half, I am afraid that Zhang Yanei will put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

However, Du Lan was sitting in the foot shop, but he heard the toothman say that Daxiangguo Temple was buying people.

It's not that Xiangguo Temple wants to buy it, but Zhang Xutang wants to buy smart children to chant scriptures with him.

This is not surprising. Zhang Yanei loves to be lively and is afraid of being lonely. He has people around him all year round. It is not uncommon for him to go to the temple to find a few playmates.

And it's better for these children to go to Xiangguo Temple than to sell them elsewhere.

Others didn't take it seriously, Du Lan felt something was wrong, so he came to tell Song Huiyue.

"Ma'am, do you want to go to the Daxiangguo Temple to find out? I'm afraid Zhang Xutang will make some crooked tricks. You can find the second brother, and the second brother can avoid the eyes of the imperial army."

Song Huiyue rolled her eyes slowly, thinking slowly.

She not only hoped to find out what happened to Zhang Xutang, but also hoped to kill him with one blow.

But Zhang Xutang is afraid of death, the more powerful the person is, the more he is afraid of death.

Coupled with Zhang Xutang's viciousness, anyone who falls into his hands will not end well.

And these words just happened to be heard by Du Lan, and she was also worried that it was a trap.

She thought for a long time, then whispered: "Don't worry about him."

She couldn't let the Zhang family disrupt her plan, let alone let the Zhang family lead her away.

"You have to change someone to follow Zhou Ke." Song Huiyue even suspected that Du Lan had exposed his whereabouts outside the office, but there were many officials in the office, and they didn't know who Du Lan was following.

Du Lan thought about it for a while, and understood that as a guest of King Jin, there must be eyes staring at him, and immediately said: "We are all idle in the capital. You can talk to the second brother and let the second brother arrange to follow him in turn."

Song Huiyue still frowned two thick eyebrows: "Zhou Ke doesn't go anywhere except his office and home?"

Du Lan nodded: "His wife is jealous. He secretly took a concubine and let his wife sell it to Yazhou. He dare not return."

Song Huiyue bit her nails: "I see, keep watching, don't provoke Xiangguo Temple."

In the Daxiangguo Temple, Zhang Xutang holds a string of Buddhist beads and dominates the back room of the Sutra Library. There are four or five monks who provide food and drink for him, and ten traveling boys are at his disposal. It is Qingxiu, but it has never suffered at all.

King Yan came to see him today, and the two sat in the meditation room with a cup of tea in front of them, looking very peaceful.

Zhang Xutang hooked his head, and there was always a deep depression in his heart that he couldn't get out, and he suffocated into a ball of fire. He sincerely prayed in front of the Buddha every day, let the Buddha send down a thunder, and kill Song Huiyue alive. If he can be rewarded What I wish is to build a golden body that is even bigger than the present one, not pasted with gold, but made entirely of real gold.

It was probably because all living beings prayed too much, and his resplendent prayer failed to get what he wished for the time being. Song Huiyue was still alive and well, and he was playing a big role in the teahouses in the capital, fighting the old teahouses down.

His people also discovered that Du Lan was wandering around outside the Sansi company, so he tried a little plan to lure Song Huiyue to Xiangguo Temple to get rid of him, but he didn't expect Song Huiyue to be so cunning that he refused to take the bait.

It's downright nasty.

"Xu Tang?"

King Yan frowned and called Zhang Xutang twice.

"Yes." Zhang Xutang came back to his senses and poured tea for King Yan. Seeing that the tea was no longer hot, he handed the teapot to Lao Wei and asked him to go out and find Xingtong to exchange for heat.

King Yan's servants are useless.

Only then did King Yan stretch his brows: "Since the young lady of the Yue family has come to see you, you should cooperate and say something nice, why don't you even see her face?"

As soon as his two eyebrows were lowered, Zhang Xutang's eyebrows frowned: "You also think I must marry her?"

He didn't dislike Yue Huaiyu at all: "Her father is a privy envoy, which is also one of her strengths."

Yan Wang made him picky and angry and laughed: "You still don't like her, the male should be married and the female should be married, the two of you agree with each other, even if you don't want you to get married today, it's not good for you to waste any more. I'm relieved when you get married."

Zhang Xutang understood his thoughts.

Yue Huaiyu had better marry him quickly, otherwise King Yan wouldn't be at ease whoever he married.

What's more, there is King Jin watching in Kyoto.

Their Zhang Yue family must become an alliance without any gaps, and no one should be allowed to take advantage of it.

Now Zhang Xiangye and Yue Shumi envoy are in charge of civil and military affairs, Zhang Xiangye is not allowed to intervene in the military, and although Yue Zhongtai is a kind old man over fifty years old in the capital, he should not be underestimated.

Kyoto emphasizes culture and suppresses martial arts, and the privy envoys before Yue Zhongtai were literati, but Yue Zhongtai was an out-and-out warrior with illustrious military exploits.

Today I asked about Dingzhou's military affairs in the court hall, hundreds of officials quoted scriptures and allusions, and talked boastfully, Yue Zhongtai kept silent, today I asked him why he didn't speak, he said that he didn't know much and couldn't understand what his colleagues said, so he could only talk Talk about the battles he has personally experienced.

After talking about it, today I praised him for his vigilance, his ability to conquer wars, but he was unable to do so, so he was promoted to be a privy envoy, in charge of all military strategies.

Afterwards, Yue Zhongtai married his eldest daughter to the King of Yan, which was regarded as a gesture of goodwill, and gave great convenience to the Zhang family in terms of military power, but Yue Zhongtai never touched the three yamen of the imperial army, and did not even make friends with the people in the three yamen.

What I said above is true, Yue Zhongtai is indeed very alert, and he will not reveal his wealth until the end.

At that time, the eldest lady of the Yue family had no choice but to marry the King of Yan. Only when Yue Huaiyu married Zhang Xutang was the real alliance between Zhang and Yue.

Once they get married, they can ask Yue Zhongtai to contact the Forbidden Army, and at critical moments, they can use India to mobilize the Forbidden Army.

King Yan has already noticed the change in the situation, so he came here today to beat Zhang Xutang.

Zhang Xutang thought for a while, and said to King Yan: "She is disobedient and messed up my situation in Tanzhou."

This was something he only thought of after returning to the capital. There should have been a short-term transaction between Yue Huaiyu, King Jin, and Song Huiyue.

He doesn't like women who are disobedient and too smart.

Such a person is like Song Huiyue, who will bring uncontrollable variables and cannot think about what she does as an ordinary woman.

If in the past, he could marry Yue Huaiyu or not, but now he doesn't want to marry.

King Yan glanced at him, a little displeased: "How powerful is she? Besides, if she doesn't marry you, who do you want her to marry? Don't you know that if she marries someone other than the Zhang family? , it will be bad."

Even if Yue Huaiyu married a beggar, they all thought that King Jin would start with the beggar and coax Yue Zhongtai over.

Holding the teacup, Zhang Xutang slowly drank the tea in it, listening to the sound of chanting from outside, the sound came in one after another, making people drowsy.

Amidst the sound of Buddhist scriptures that escaped from the mortal world, he laughed and said, "Then kill her."
