"Of course it does."

Princess Fu Xia recalled the past, but still brooded, "Brother Xun was killed by someone. I only have two sons. After Brother Xun died, I was afraid that Xun'er would suffer the same murder, so..."

So, she went to find Zhang Yulang.

Finding Zhang Yulang was purely coincidental.

She spread her hands to find a young man who looks similar to her own son, preferably at the same age as Wen Xuan, so that when things are in crisis, this prepared substitute can be used to take care of Xuan'er.

It didn't take long for her people to find Zhang Yulang.

"Are you sure, this is Zhang Yulang?" Emperor Hong asked.

Princess Fu Xia nodded.

Therefore, many times, the Wen Xuan who appeared in front of everyone was not the real Wen Xuan, but Zhang Yulang.

Zhang Yulang ate and lived with Wen Xuan. In order to let him imitate Wen Xuan better, he was also taught by a famous teacher to learn rituals, music and archery. If he felt danger, Wen Xuan would be taken to safety by Princess Fu Xia.place, leaving Zhang Yulang to deal with it.

And because of this, Wen Xuan escaped several murderous attempts, and lived to be seventeen smoothly.

"So, this Zhang Yulang is actually Xuan'er's substitute?"

Princess Fu Xia remained silent, wiped her tears, and acquiesced.

"Then the one who usually goes to see me in the palace? Talks with me about state affairs, and even volunteers to go to the sea to suppress bandits..." Emperor Hong was angry.

"It's Xuan'er." Princess Fu Xia hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, I was worried about Xuan'er's crisis, so I found Zhang Yulang for him, but I never dared to let a mere substitute enter the palace to see Brother Huang again.Fu Xia dare not do that."

Emperor Hong's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if he was thinking.

"Brother Huang, when I brought Zhang Yulang into the mansion, I discussed that Yongchang Marquis Residence would provide him with food and protection. The only thing he has to do is to take the punishment for Xuan'er when necessary, but he didn't."

Princess Fu Xia said angrily, crying, "At first, I thought he died together with Xuan'er in the hands of Marquis Anshun, so he was loyal to his duty! But he was still alive, so where was he when Xuan'er had an accident?Xuan'er is his master, and seeing his master's death, he has lived on. For more than a year, he has ignored the murder of Xuan'er, and even has the face to go back to Beijing to take the imperial examination? But now, he is sitting in the palace, Trying to claim fame together with other Gongsheng students? Emperor brother, I don’t accept it.”

"This kind of heartless and ungrateful person deserves to be hacked to pieces!" Princess Fu Xia wailed.

Emperor Hong closed his eyes and asked, "Does Marquis Yongchang also know about Zhang Yulang acting as Xuan'er's substitute?"

Princess Fu Xia stroked her lips and shook her head.

"So you did it alone to find a substitute for Xuan'er?"

"Brother Emperor?" Princess Fu Xia hastily argued, "I'm just eager to protect my son!"

"You are so bold. You have been hiding it from me for so many years."

What else did Emperor Hong not understand?Princess Fu Xia came to see her at this juncture and spread the matter out. Wasn't she afraid that Zhang Yulang would report the matter of being Wen Xuan's substitute before her?

If Zhang Yulang accepted it first, he would be sure that she deceived the king, but if she accepted it first, then Zhang Yulang was deliberately deceiving.

"Since this is the case, then this is just your one-sided remarks. After the palace test is over, I will ask Zhang Yulang to blame."

Emperor Hong left the imperial study room with a face full of anger, and when he was walking towards the main hall, he ordered Liu Fuan, "Go, find some people, and when Zhang Yulang leaves after handing in the papers, I will intercept them, the less people find out, the better."

Liu Fuan took the order.

Emperor Hong walked back to the main hall, and saw that many of the students inside had handed in their papers and left. Hui Yuanlang, who was at the head, had long since disappeared, but the students on the left and right were still there.

In fact, Zhang Yulang had already finished answering the questions, and was sitting in front of the desk when he saw a bright yellow figure passing by, knowing that Emperor Hong had returned, so he got up, handed in the answer sheet with the ink on it, and then bowed to Emperor HongKneeling, then put away behind the desk, turned and left.

All the way out, his face attracted the attention of many officials.

When he got out of the main hall and saw a little eunuch leading the imperial army towards him, Zhang Yulang, who had expected this for a long time, smiled slightly and arrested him without a fight.

This scene fell into the eyes of many people, with surprised eyes, but no one dared to question it.

Zhang Yulang was escorted all the way to the imperial study room, seeing Princess Fu Xia who was kneeling here, he was both expected and unexpected.

"Zhang Yulang, you bloody slave!" Princess Fu Xia hated secretly.

"Princess Fu Xia be careful." Zhang Yulang greeted the princess indifferently, "Although Zhang is a slave in Yongchang Marquis Residence, but I am not a slave. I think Princess Fu Xia is also aware of this.And the son also agreed that when the time is ripe, he will return Zhang's freedom."

"That's right, Xuan'er was so kind to you, why are you still alive when he's dead?" Princess Fu Xia asked, "Whether you're a substitute or a guard??????Are you sorry for him?"

Zhang Yulang's face darkened, and he remained silent.

"I also want to know, what's going on here?" Emperor Hong walked in, looked at the two kneeling people on the ground, waved his wide sleeves, and sat behind the desk.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yulang knelt, "Before explaining, I would like to ask an adult to confront me so as to clarify the facts."

"Who?"

"Master Ming Hai!"

Both Emperor Hong and Princess Fu Xia were stunned.

"At the beginning, I followed Prince Wen to the sea to suppress bandits. I accidentally found evidence of the collusion between the officials of the Shibo Department and the pirates, and secretly communicated with the Anshunhou of the court. However, the treacherous officials found out. After the two of us discussed, Prince Wen stood still, set off as scheduled and return to the capital with the army, I will take out the criminal evidence collected by the son and hide it in a safe place, and then go to see Master Minghai in the name of the son, tell him where the evidence is, and let the master go to collect the evidence and return it to the capital to hand over to His Majesty."Zhang Yulang recalled, "By the time I caught up with Shizi and his party, it was too late, Shizi had already..."

"Sophistry! If that's the case, why didn't you return to Beijing in time when you found out that your son was killed?" Princess Fu Xia didn't believe it.

"No." Zhang Yulang shook his head frequently, "I was hunted down by the remnants of Marquis Anshun, and I was lucky enough to save my life. I was seriously injured and fled to Haijiao Village, only to find that all my relatives died in the tsunami.From the past with the son, Zhang Yulang takes this responsibility."

Zhang Yulang bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

"It's nonsense." Princess Fu Xia didn't believe Zhang Yulang's words at all, and asked Emperor Hong for help, "Brother Emperor?"

"Needless to say, wait for Ming Hai to come and ask, then we will be able to tell the truth from the falsehood."

At this time, the last tribute students who took the exam in the main hall had already left, and the palace maids and father-in-laws in the hall lit the palace lanterns one after another. The papers of the 300 candidates were all anonymized, and they were collected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, sealed and guarded by special personnel.

The paper reviewer in charge of the palace examination will review and mark the papers tomorrow morning.

Outside the palace gate, all the family members who received Gongsheng from their family left, except Chen Nianguan who was still standing beside the carriage, looking at the closed palace gate.

"Employee?"

After waiting for too long, Xiao You and Si Ya couldn't help worrying.

"fine."

It should be fine.

Zhang Er said that the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was open-minded in politics and treated the people leniently and frugally, which is why he took the risk and took the imperial examination hall to interview the saints.

But the one who offends is Princess Fu Xia, a relative of the country, and besides, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If they don't plan to spare Zhang Er, wouldn't Zhang Er's head fall to the ground in minutes?

Chen Nianguan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

She is a small business girl, how can she find a way to enter the palace?Although he asked Liu Feng to go to Xiao Seventh Master, who was serving in the palace, for help, but so far there is no confirmation.

After a while, he sighed, "Let's go back to Xianggui Street first!"

Chen Nianguan's carriage didn't go very far, another carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and the person who got on and off the carriage was Master Ming Hai. The side door of Luoyue palace gate opened to welcome the two masters and apprenticesgo in.

Palace lanterns were also lit in the imperial study room at this time.

When Master Ming Hai went in, he saw Marquis Yongchang was there, and the general understood the truth. He knew that Zhang Yulang was originally a substitute that his wife had found for his son.

It wasn't until Princess Fu Xia and Zhang Yulang assured that they had never done anything to deceive the Holy Majesty in these years, that they were slightly relieved, and they didn't even mention the fact that they were kept in the dark.

However, remembering his son, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Yulang frequently.

After all, if he was also raised in Yongchang Marquis Residence with his son, wouldn't it mean that he had seen Zhang Erlang in his son's mansion, and might have even called him Xuan'er himself?

Thinking about it this way, Marquis Yongchang simply thought it was absurd, and the anger towards Princess Fu Xia subtly surged up again.

When Master Ming Hai saw Zhang Yulang, his face also changed: "My son?"

But Shizi, didn't he die after delivering the letter to himself?

How could there be another son?

Zhang Yulang hurriedly explained: "Master Ming Hai, I am not the real son, but two years ago, in the name of the son, I had the honor to visit the master at Dafeng Temple, do you remember?"

"The one at that time, wasn't the prince?"

Master Ming Hai was also stunned, and then he looked at Princess Fu Xia and Marquis Yongchang who were kneeling beside him, and he immediately understood.

I'm afraid that Zhang Yulang was brought back by Yongchang Marquis Residence to replace Prince Wen.

Zhang Yulang recounted to those present the whole process of sneaking into Dafeng Temple to meet Master Ming Hai that day.

Including meeting a girl from the Chen family who cooks for Master Ming Hai.

As well as what they ate, what they said, and even where the evidence was hidden, they all checked with Master Ming Hai.

Master Ming Hai nodded repeatedly.

These details are naturally only known to those who came to see him in person two years ago.

Zhang Yulang looks so similar to Wen Shizi, and he imitated Wen Shizi's temperament so well, it's no wonder that even he was deceived.

It was only natural for Zhang Yulang to pretend that Prince Wen was not revealing anything.

It can be said that the two grew up together since they were young. As substitutes, they naturally imitated the words and deeds of the prince from time to time.

"That's right, Your Majesty, it was indeed Zhang Yulang who told me the location of the evidence of Marquis Anshun's crime in time." Master Ming Hai reported to Emperor Hong, "If Zhang Yulang hadn't done this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find Marquis Anshun colluding with Hai.Kou’s criminal evidence will even be deceived into thinking that Prince Wen actually died at the hands of the pirates, so judging from this, this Yulang is indeed meritorious.”

"Master, don't speak for this scorpion." Princess Fu Xia was furious.

"I never tell lies." Master Ming Hai stretched out his fingers and calculated, "I got Zhang Yulang to tell me that I knew the situation was urgent and set off overnight, so I remember that the day this gentleman came to the door was July 10th.Three days, however, the guards who escorted the son's coffin back also said that the son was killed on July 14th."

Prince Wen was murdered on a ship returning to Beijing while passing through Weihai.

Calculated according to the footsteps, if you rush back to Weihai from Dafeng Temple in Funing County, you must not rush back within a day.

Therefore, the only person who could meet Master Ming Hai on the 13th was Zhang Yulang, who looked similar to Prince Wen.

Princess Fu Xia burst into tears, "Since this is the case, why was it not Xuan'er who went to Dafeng Temple to report the news, but you? Why did you escape? You should have died for Xuan'er."

"Princess, Zhang is ashamed of this, I was also following orders at that time!" Zhang Yulang said sadly, "Zhang dare not disobey Prince Wen's order, and he is also afraid that he will be entrusted with it."

"You..." Princess Fu Xia looked at Zhang Yulang and gritted her teeth.

"Princess, Prince Wen is righteous. He first pacified the sea and borders, and then helped His Majesty find out traitors and traitors. Zhang Yulang obeyed the orders of the prince, did not disgrace his mission, and did not fear the officials in power. He was also a hero who clarified the death of the prince. Prince Wen has this ability."It is a great fortune to be a subordinate." Master Ming Hai spoke out righteously, "Princess Fu Xia, you can't be arrogant for a while, and you will lose the reputation of Prince Wen instead."

"There are no people left, what more fame do you need?" Princess Fu Xia was still indignant.

"His Majesty?"

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Emperor Hong felt very blocked.

"Okay, let me back down."

"Brother Huang!"

"What are you still shouting about? You provoked this matter." Emperor Hong pointed to Zhang Yulang and asked Princess Fu Xia, "If you hadn't found Zhang Yulang first, what would have caused so many troubles now? If he hadn't been ventilating with Ming HaiReporting, you still don’t know how your son died! Now that things have been revealed, are you still reasonable?”

"Marquis of Yongchang!" Emperor Hong shouted.

"His Majesty!"

"Bring your wife back to the mansion! I don't want to see her these days."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Marquis Yongchang got up and helped Princess Fu Xia, who gave Zhang Yulang a unwilling look, and bowed to leave.

After Yongchang Hou and his wife left, Emperor Hong heaved a long sigh of relief and stared at Zhang Yulang.

"Zhang Yulang, the prefecture of Chuzhou!"

"The minister is here."

"You tell me honestly how you were sent to Yongchang Marquis Residence, what you did in Yongchang Marquis Residence, and what you did with Prince Wen, and tell me everything."

Before the age of six, Zhang Yulang was an ordinary fisherman from the Zhang family in Haijiao Village.

Because he is sculpted out of ice and extremely intelligent, he is not only the best-looking boy in the family, but also the most handsome boy in the whole Haijiao Village, so he was called Yulang at a young age.It is because of this that he directly named Yulang for his second son. When he was worried that he had no money to enlighten his son, a servant from a certain rich family suddenly came to the door and said he wanted to buy Yulang.

The Zhang family is naturally unwilling.

One's darling, who has a little conscience, will not want to sell his own son even if he is at the end of his life.

Six-year-old Zhang Yulang was also unwilling.

The father of the family is kind and the son is filial, the villagers are simple and kind, how can children be willing to leave their hometown and become slaves?

But how can the fisherman in the small village beat the Hou Fu's thigh?

Thus, Zhang Yulang was kidnapped one night, and was taken to Capital City in a daze all the way.

At that time, he didn't know that he was in the powerful Yongchang Marquis Residence in Capital City. When he opened his eyes, he saw another young man who looked exactly like himself, and he was shocked.

Afterwards, he met the young man's mother, Princess Fu Xia.

At first he didn't want to stay in this rich mansion far away from his parents, but after being persuaded by Princess Fu Xia, he slowly accepted the status quo.

Then learned that this is the imperial capital, the most prosperous Capital City in the world, and the place where stayed was the most blessed Yongchang Marquis Residence in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The third young master Wen is the little man who looks exactly like him.

Although the two live in the same courtyard and the same room, they also go to school, study and read.

But one lives in a bed, the other sleeps on the floor, the other sits openly at the desk in the study and listens to the teachings of famous teachers and Confucians, and the other secretly hides behind the screen, either kneeling or lying down to read and read.

Except Princess Fu Xia, the two guards in Mr. Wen's courtyard, and no one in Yongchang Marquis Residence knew his true face.

Usually appearing in front of people, you can't show your true face, but you have to be covered with a veil.

He is like a shadow, he can only hide behind the third young master Wen.

When he was ten years old, he finally understood that he was not a companion, but a stand-in for Third Young Master Wen.

And to face all bad luck for him.

The things that the third son Wen is unwilling to face, the things that Princess Fu Xia thinks are dangerous, and the occasions where he has to show up when he knows that they are making things difficult for Yongchang Hou Shizi, etc., and so on.

At this time, he can take off his scarf and become the third son Wen.

Yongchang Marquis Residence is a family of military generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a prestigious reputation. Naturally, it cannot be compared with a small family in a fishing village in the south.

Although he is the substitute of Prince Wen, in the mansion, apart from not being able to show the face exactly like Prince Wen's in front of others, other daily life and food are all treated as personal attendants.

Later, in order to act more like Prince Wen in front of outsiders, he was even richer and richer, and obtained an upper-class education that the mere son of a fisherman could not enjoy.

And he was also grateful for this, especially Prince Wen, who was grateful for his companionship over the years, and specially kindly let him go back to Haijiao Village to visit his relatives and family members.

Thanks to Prince Wen's kindness, Zhang Yulang returned to Haijiao Village after five years away from home.

Therefore, the Zhang family knew that their Erlang Jun was still alive, but they had to do things for the rich and powerful. After the work was done, their family's Erlang Jun could go home.

"Originally, Prince Wen also planned that after the successful suppression of the bandits in the sea, he would let me go out of the house, and from now on, I can be Zhang Yulang again." Zhang Yulang was also saddened when talking about the death of Prince Wen, "How could......"

Zhang Yulang didn't say any more, but Emperor Hong naturally knew what was going on.

Master Ming Hai also whispered "Amitabha Buddha" in a low voice!

After a long time, Emperor Hong sighed: "So, at the beginning, it was the servants of Yongchang Marquis Residence who took you away from your parents?"

Zhang Yulang was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"In your heart, don't you hate Princess Fu Xia?"

"Princess Fu Xia is also very fond of his son, and I understand the painstaking efforts of the princess. The captors make their own decisions for their servants, and have nothing to do with Princess Fu Xia." Zhang Yulang said, "Besides, I eat and wear in Yongchang Marquis ResidenceThe cost is all from Princess Fu Xia, and Prince Wen is also very kind to the minister. Now the minister is able to pass the scientific examination smoothly, and ranks second in the general examination, and won the honor of the imperial examination. It is also the merit of learning in Yongchang Marquis Residence, How dare I repay kindness with resentment?"

Emperor Hong glanced at Zhang Yulang, saw his serious face, and thought about Wen Xuan, who was equally as talented as him. He had passed away, leaving nothing but regrets, and he couldn't help sighing heavily.

"His Majesty?"

"Forget it, it's getting late now, Liu Fuan, arrange for Master Ming Hai and Zhang Yulang."

Thus, Zhang Yulang knew that this matter should come to an end with Emperor Hong.

In the future, he should be able to walk in the world majesticly in the body of Zhang Yulang, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he raised it again.

It's not over yet.

The result of the palace examination has not come out in a day, so he can't take it lightly.

Zhang Yulang was taken to a side hall by his little father-in-law, after freshening up, he ate the palace food brought by the maidservant, and then took a rest.

However, in the deep palace, he has been tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Although he told Emperor Hong that he had no complaints about Princess Fu Xia asking him to be Wen Xuan's substitute, but that was only superficial.

A little child, who was forced to leave his parents since he was a child, how could he not hate the enemy who made him fatherless and motherless?

Especially when he first arrived at Yongchang Marquis Residence, he was still stubborn. He refused to listen to Princess Fu Xia and insisted on going home to see his parents.The purpose of not giving him food and drink was to force him to obediently obey and serve as her son's substitute shield.

The harder he tosses, the more cruel the criticism he suffers. In the end, he has to learn to bow his head through the lessons of blood and tears.

Prince Wen is a noble son who must save many lives, but he is just a humble life. No matter whether he agrees or not, he must sacrifice his life for Prince Wen when necessary.

It was later that his relationship with Prince Wen gradually became closer and harmonious, but he still could not change his humble status as a slave.

He can be as smart and as hardworking as Prince Wen, and he can even go to Imperial College instead of him when no one else notices, and give the homework learned from the insights of the great Confucian masters.

But he is still a servant, a substitute who will be sent to die at any time.

Prince Wen treated him with sympathy, but it was only because, one day in the future, he would die for himself.

Even if the ants are stealing their lives, he doesn't want to die.

Therefore, it was not that Prince Wen was kind and allowed him to go home five years later. It was because he played the role of a stand-in in an accident and was injured on behalf of Prince Wen.Parents for many years.

Originally, someone of unknown origin wanted to buy the lessons learned from his family's second son, but the Zhang family did not think that their second son was dead, and insisted that they could be found in the future, and the household registration has not been cancelled.

Seeing that his son is really alive now, he weeps with joy, and naturally shows off to the people in Haijiao Village.

Everyone in Haijiao Village then knew that Zhang Jiaerlang, whose whereabouts were unknown, was working outside for a rich family.

The Zhang family also believed in the fact that Mr. Erlang would come back soon.

It was at this time that the Zhou family in the village fell in love with Zhang Erlang and wanted to marry him, and the Zhang family agreed.

Zhang Erlang also agreed to this marriage. After all, firstly, his parents are the ones to decide on major matters of marriage, and secondly, if Yongchang Marquis Residence doesn't let him go, he can use the excuse of getting married to plead with Prince Wen.

His marriage with Zhou Wenyao came about like this.

After all, he can't let people know that he is the substitute of Prince Wen, and he didn't dare to tell his family members, but in order to keep the identity of Zhang Yulang, every time the Zhou family came to visit relatives, Zhang Erzai was fooled by Zhang's family because of his illness.The Zhang family was in a hurry to request termination of the contract.

At that time, the Zhang family hadn't seen Mr. Erlang for another five years, and there was no news of the person who was working for the nobleman, and they didn't know where to find Mr. Erlang of their own family.In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to the divorce.

Zhang Yulang didn't know about this at the beginning.

Before inviting Ying to suppress the bandits, Prince Wen had promised Zhang Yulang that he would let him go after the matter was completed. After finding evidence of treacherous officials and criminals, Prince Wen asked him to use Zhang Yulang's identity to meet Master Minghai.Pay attention to the enemy, who would have expected that Marquis Anshun's minions were not completely fooled, not only directly murdered Prince Wen and his party, but also ambushed him who returned after delivering the letter to Master Ming Hai.

Fortunately, his life should not be terminated, and he will steal his life.

However, when he was injured and returned to his hometown, seeing the entire village wiped out after the tsunami, under such a heavy blow, he completely forgot about the past and only remembered fragments of it, so he went to Funing County to find Zhou's family.

It was at that time that he learned that the Zhou family had already retired, and he accidentally met Chen Nianguan who had a relationship with him once, and he was desperate to blackmail Wan Wan with a little trick, and what happened later.

If his memory had recovered early, he probably wouldn't have taken the imperial examination.

He knew the character of Princess Fu Xia.

It would be fine if he was killed together with Prince Wen, but if he knew that he was not dead, he would never allow his double to live well.

However, by the time he knew his identity, it was already too late.

He is already a master of Juren, and he also agreed to Wan Wan to stand out.

And there are many people in the court who know that they have the same face as Prince Wen.

Luo Jing knew, Pang Juanhe knew, even Yang Jishan knew that he had met the old lady of Yongchang Marquis Residence and Wen Ning at the Grand Buddhist Temple. Sooner or later, this matter would reach Princess Fu Xia's ears.

Since he is a Juren, he will naturally have the ink scroll and household registration information in the Ministry of Rites. When Princess Fu Xia checks it, he will immediately find that Zhang Yulang is not dead.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Princess Fu Xia naturally had many ways and means to make a commoner die silently.

It's like even though his parents didn't want to, he didn't want to, but Princess Fu Xia's entourage still forcibly took him away from Haijiao Village.

Just like when she was imprisoned in Yongchang Marquis Residence, even if she didn't want to be a substitute, Princess Fu Xia could use power, threats and beatings to make herself submit.

Instead of waiting for the people of Princess Fu Xia to come to the door at some time and easily take my life without splashing a little water, it is better to be the master of Princess Fu Xia who wants to let himself be buried with his son, and he has to think about it.Three points people.

Therefore, before the examination, he acted in a low-key manner, trying to survive, but after he won the second place in the examination, he showed it generously, in order to tell the world that the person with the same face as Prince Wen was Zhang Yulang, the governor of Chuzhou.

The more people who know about it, the better.

As long as he successfully participated in the palace examination and alarmed Emperor Hong, then, at least, even if Zhang Yulang died at the hands of Princess Fu Xia in the future, he would not be quietly covered up.

Because Emperor Hong liked Prince Wen very much, the nephew of Lang Yandujue.

He also owes a lot to Prince Wen's talent that he likes.

If Emperor Hong cherished talents and cherished talents, he would not have allowed his son, who looked like Prince Wen, to be murdered in vain by Princess Fu Xia.

Therefore, Emperor Hong, whether he will hand-picked himself as the new first-class attitude directly expresses his position in the future.

All we can do is to see what Emperor Hong will do?
