Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth
Chapter 284: Everyone is trying their best (Part 2)
"You mean, she almost gave you the antidote?" In Pei Jun's study, the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty asked with his hands behind his back.
The light in the study was a little dim. A man in gray stood next to the door of the study opposite Pei Jun. Under the blurred light, Huo Ran was the eunuch Lu Taiyi. He took the opportunity to go out early in the morning to sneak to Pei Jun to report what happened last night.
When Pei Jun seemed to be interested in the bottle of antidote, he said regretfully: "She almost gave it to me. I heard that the antidote only has one bottle. If she gave it to me, my subordinates will definitely replace it with water to help the prime minister achieve great things."
Pei Jun frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. A small eunuch dared to speak wildly. Not to mention that he wanted to make decisions without permission, he even said that he helped him accomplish great things. What is he? Is he qualified to be on an equal footing with him? Although Pei Jun was very unhappy, now it was time to use people. He held back his dissatisfaction and smiled gently: "If Cui Xiaofu gave it to you, then she would not be Cui Xiaofu. How could she not be cautious about such an important thing? You must be careful in doing things in the future and never underestimate her, otherwise if she sees your identity, there may be a disaster for death."
"Yes! I remember the love of the prime minister and subordinates. I can't stay away for too long, so I'll say goodbye first."
"Go!" Pei Jun didn't raise his eyelids. He picked up a memorial and sat down. Lu Taiyi thought that after he expressed his gratitude, Pei Jun wanted to send him out, but unexpectedly, the prime minister didn't take him seriously at all.
He smiled awkwardly and slowly retreated. Until his footsteps were gone, Pei Jun threw the memorial on the table, stood up, and slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
How could he not care about what happened last night? In fact, he got detailed information about the incident last night before dawn. Yuan Zai was stabbed and poisoned, Zhang Huanhao seized the antidote, and smashed the door to open the house. All of them happened in just three hours. What scared him was not Yuan Zai being stabbed himself, but the thundering method shown by Zhang Huan's capture of the antidote. What prince and grandson are like pigs and sheep in his eyes; what empress dowager Tianwei, he even sneered at him.
Is this a sign that when he seizes the throne in the future, large-scale bleeding will occur? This is what Pei Jun is most worried about. Pei Jun looked into the distance with worry. He originally thought that Zhang Huan would try his best to win over the royal family, but now it seems that he does not take this matter to heart.
If one day he is so strong that he will die if he goes against me and who will follow me will prosper, then will he also act according to his expression in the future? Will he be able to take the position of his own efforts for ten years? The situation is not good!
Thinking of this, Pei Jun turned around and ordered: "Prepare the car! Go to Daming Palace."
The fierce side that Zhang Huan inadvertently exposed made Pei Jun suddenly alert to him.

Yuanzai's toxicity has improved a lot. Although his face is still pale, it is because of excessive blood loss. The key is that the black air on his face has disappeared. He is still in a drowsy sleep and has the consciousness of drinking water in the middle of the night.
"This poison is too fierce. Even if it is solved, it still has sequelae. It must be carefully maintained. Minister Yuan may have to cultivate for one or two months before he can gradually recover."
The doctor was busy all night, and when it was almost dawn, he finally finished cleaning up Pei Jun's injuries. He was exhausted, but he felt extremely relieved to be able to save the patient, no matter how tired he was.
Zhang Huan was also waiting outside the ward. When it was almost dawn, he slept in a daze. At this time, he stood beside the bed, watching the doctor finally clean and bandage the wound. He heard from the doctor that it would take another month or two to recover. Zhang Huan sighed slightly in his heart. In this way, the Ministry of War would probably become a troublesome place.
Although he felt a little regretful, Yuan Zai's family was on the side! Zhang Huan quickly bowed to the doctor and said with a smile: "Thank you for the doctor's care, but if you can ask the doctor, please stay in Yuan Mansion for the time being to take care of the injury for Yuan Shishang. I will thank you again after Yuan Shishang recovers!"
The doctor was flattered, so he quickly bowed and returned the greeting, "How dare the little people refuse to obey Zhang Shangshu's order? Please rest assured, I will do my best to heal the wounds of Minister Yuan."
Zhang Huan nodded and said to Yuan Zhili: "You should take good care of your father! I will go to the Ministry of War to take a look and say goodbye first."
Yuanzai's two sons were very grateful to him and quickly sent Zhang Huan out of the gate. Zhang Huan boarded the carriage and drove towards the imperial city.

The carriage walked very slowly and smoothly, as if it was afraid of disturbing the governor's rest. In the carriage, Zhang Huan had his eyes closed halfway. Although he was very tired, he could not fall asleep. There were still ten days left before the dynasty. How to stabilize Shuofang and the Ministry of War within these ten days has become an urgent matter. In addition, the building of the main hall of the biological father in the ancestral temple should also start as soon as possible.
But at this time something happened to Yuan Zai. Although he did not hurt his life, it would take one or two months to recover. This undoubtedly provided Cui Xiaofu with an excuse to intervene in the Ministry of War. How to turn this unfavorable situation into a favorable situation?
Zhang Huan fell into deep thought without realizing it.
When the carriage arrived at the Ministry of War, the sun was already very high. When Zhang Huan walked into the gate, he immediately felt an uneasy atmosphere. From the yard to the court room, there were three or three soldiers gathered together to whisper. When everyone saw him coming, they immediately returned to their respective rooms to work, but the expression was not above official business.
Zhang Huan returned to his court room and immediately called Sun Jinfang, the doctor of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was under the jurisdiction of four departments: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was the chief. When the Minister of War was sick or unable to perform his duties for other reasons, the doctor of the Ministry of War was usually taken over by the Ministry of War. When Yuan Zai was the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, after the Minister of War was assassinated, he served as the Minister of Rites.
After a moment, Sun Jinfang quickly walked into the room and bowed to Zhang Huanshi, "I will meet the envoy."
In fact, there are two doctors from the Ministry of War. One is in charge of military officer rank, the number of troops in various places is in charge of the training camps, the number of people in various places, the evaluation and other matters; the other is in charge of the book and military dispatch. Sun Jinfang has been an official for nearly 20 years and is a professional, so he is the leader. The other doctor is Cui Han, who is a child of the Cui family. He has advanced from the local area the year before yesterday, and his qualifications are far inferior to Sun Jinfang.
Sun Jinfang is over 40 years old this year, full of energy and strong youth. He has a wonderful memory. In the nearly 100 registrars of the Tang Dynasty, he remembers the situation of almost every battalion clearly, including the latest number of people, the name of the regiment training envoy and even their background origins. It is precisely because of this that Sun Jinfang has been in the Ministry of War for nearly ten years but has not been transferred.
Regarding the Ministry of War, Zhang Huan won more than just Yuan Zai. After all, Yuan Zai was transferred from the Ministry of Rites and did not know the situation of the Ministry of War. To a large extent, he was the doctor of the four departments who maintained the operation of the Ministry of War in order to occupy the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and was also the target of Zhang Huan's active win over. For example, Sun Jinfang was from Yan'an County. His parents and wife and children in his hometown were well taken care of by Zhang Huan. In quelling Li Zhengji's rebellion, he also specially sent someone to take his family to Jincheng County to live. It was precisely because of Zhang Huan's careful care of his subordinates that Yuan Zai was able to quickly get into the role and assist Zhang Huan in controlling the Ministry of War.
"Dr. Sun, what news do you hear?" Zhang Huan asked without saying a word.
"Yes!" Sun Jinfang replied: "As soon as we came to court, everyone heard that Yuan Shilang was stabbed at the last time. I didn't believe it very much, but Yuan Shilang hasn't come yet, and everyone is very worried."
"Your news is right. Mr. Yuan was assassinated last night." Zhang Huan replied in a deep voice.
He also knew that even if he blocked the news, Pei Jun might not be able to cooperate with him and disrupt the situation. Pei Jun would like to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When he and Cui Xiaofu were both defeated, Pei Jun would reap the benefits of the fisherman again. This is his usual style.
He and Cui Xiaofu knew this very well, so in the case of Yuan Zai's assassination, both of them finally restrained themselves and did not make things worse. This is a tacit understanding between them. In today's terms, it is called a limited low-intensity war.
Seeing Sun Jinfang's face showing shock, he waved his hand and smiled, "It's not as bad as you think. The Minister of Yuan is fine. He just needs to rest for a few months, so he wants to ask you to come, just to discuss with you the future arrangements of the Ministry of War."
When Sun Jinfang heard that Yuan Zai had nothing to do, he let go of his heart and bowed and said, "As long as you follow the arrangements of the Secretary of the Communist Party of China."
"Okay!" Zhang Huan nodded and said frankly: "I'm going to take over the position of Minister of the War. If you are busy, I'll arrange someone to help you. If you have any questions, you can discuss with each other or report them directly to me. In short, it's just a word. Regardless of whether the Minister of Justice Yuan is there or not, the Ministry of War will definitely operate under my control. Do you understand?"
"Please rest assured that Sun is definitely not a person who is fickle." Sun Jinfang knew that Zhang Huan was powerful in the local area, but there was no one in the court. He could be called his first group of confidants. In the future, he would definitely be valued. Pei Jun and Cui Xiaofu have too many people available, and it may not be his turn.
Zhang Huan smiled slightly, and he waved to Niu Sengru. Niu Sengru immediately walked forward, "Please give orders to the governor."
"Last night, Mr. Yuan was assassinated and injured. The Ministry of War was under great pressure. After the court meeting, I may have to go to Changsha. During this period, you should stay in the Ministry of War to assist Doctor Sun. You should respect him as a student. Don't be arrogant at all, otherwise I will never spare you."
Niu Sengru hurriedly bowed to Sun Jinfang, "Student asked Doctor Sun for more advice."
Sun Jinfang worked with Niu Sengru for several months, and he also liked this modest and down-to-earth young man very much. Seeing that Zhang Huan was sending him to help him, Sun Jinfang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's really a bit of a waste of talent to help me with the talent of a Cowherd."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and said to Zhang Huan again: "Mr. Yuan was unable to attend court for the time being. His subordinates were worried that the Empress Dowager would take the opportunity to propose the establishment of the Left Minister of the Ministry of War and appoint Li Huai to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War. What should we do then?"
