Chapter 1037: County Lord Zhang in Vain

Xiang Weinan really meant this, and he nodded, "You are a real country gentleman. You have been recognized by all the officials in the court for your achievements. The emperor has told the world that you are entitled to a salary. She? She is just a false name."

Shu Yu was curious, "How do you say it?"

"This County Princess Zhang used to run a small business in her family. About...seven years ago? It seems to have been around that time. The Zhang family took her to Beijing to join her relatives, and it happened that the Queen Mother was being persuaded to leave the palace for a private visit. Who knows? When an assassin attempted to assassinate her, the Queen Mother was rescued by County Master Zhang by accident, and she even blocked the Queen Mother's knife during the chaos."

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Since ancient times, there are countless people who have defended the emperor and the queen mother.

At the beginning, no one said that they would make her the county head. Of course, the reward would be very generous.

It was just that Zhang County Lord was seriously injured after being stabbed once, and his life was in danger for a time. Fortunately, the imperial doctor rescued him in time, and he finally woke up after being unconscious for several days.

The Queen Mother recovered from the fright at that time, and praised the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who shielded her from the knife. She felt that she was not afraid of danger at a young age, and asked her what reward she wanted.

At that time, I didn't know whether County Princess Zhang was still in shock or wanted to retreat in order to advance. She didn't want any reward at that time. It was her honor to block the knife for the Queen Mother, and the knife wound on her back was even her merit.

The Queen Mother was very moved after hearing this, and just said that if she was allowed to recover well, she would not be treated badly.

County Princess Zhang was recuperating in the Imperial Palace Hospital, and the Queen Mother would occasionally visit her. After a few times, the two of them had a harmonious relationship, and the Queen Mother liked her very much.

Xiang Weinan said, "Actually, the Queen Mother had empathy. Many years ago, the Queen Mother had a little daughter, but she died of illness when she was twelve or thirteen years old. For this reason, the Queen Mother had been fasting and chanting Buddha for many years, and she didn't know who this County Master Zhang was. She is similar to the little princess back then. In short, the Queen Mother later asked the emperor to make her the county head."

The emperor disagreed at first. He felt that giving the girl a generous reward was enough, and there was no need to make the county head. The blessings were too profound.

But the Queen Mother was not happy and blamed the emperor for being so unfilial to a girl who had saved his mother.

The emperor had a headache, and finally agreed. However, although the county head had a title, he had no salary and no land. It was really just a name.

County Lord Zhang lived in the capital for two years.

But these two years were enough for her to feel the warmth and warmth of people. What kind of place was the capital, where the rich and powerful concentrated. Not to mention she is the county head, there are many princesses even though she is the county head, not to mention that she, the county head, has nothing and nothing except the occasional care from the Queen Mother.

County Master Zhang tried her best to blend in with these people, but it was obvious that others didn't buy it, and she didn't know what they were laughing at behind their backs.

County Lord Zhang was depressed. She couldn't stand out in the capital, so what if she returned to her hometown? Dong'an Prefecture doesn't have a single county owner.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother died two years later.

Her biggest and only supporter was gone. The emperor did not even remember that there was such a county head. Even the girls from the fifth and sixth grade officials in the capital could not take her seriously. County head Zhang continued to stay. What to do in Beijing?

County Lord Zhang came back with all his expenses paid for. He was obviously much more comfortable in Dong'an Mansion than in the capital.

Most of the ladies and ladies here will still treat her as a guest, and there are countless people who can please her.
