Chapter 034: Vicissitudes of Life

Before the Helian people unified the Central Plains, there were originally many ethnic groups large and small in the land of Huaxia. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Later, after years of conquest, the weak nations were either exiled beyond the Tianshan Mountains and the open seas, or they were destroyed at the hands of the strong people.

In the end, the Tuoba tribe north of the Yellow River, the Helian tribe who lived in the rich land of the east and west, and the Southwest Wuma tribe with the largest number of members were left.

The three tribes did not intermarry with each other, and if they violated the law, they pushed the criminals to the border and beheaded them together.

But in this way, the taboo between the various ethnic groups is also deepened.

It is said that later, the tribes had reached the point where anyone who saw a stranger would attack them in groups.

Three hundred and forty years ago -- no, now it should be said three hundred and ninety years ago.

After hundreds of years of friction and confrontation, the three tribes have already been defeated several times, and the people are struggling to survive.

That year, Helian King Qi Zhenyu relied on the advantages of Jiangnan's wealth, carefully prepared for ten years, and finally took advantage of the southwest to make trouble, with the help of four strategists around him, led tens of thousands of troops to the west.

First, they leveled the land of the Uma tribe, and after a few years, they beat the Tuoba army like a headless fly.

After that, Daqin was established.

The ancestor of the Zhang family was the head of the four advisors who assisted Qi Zhenyu in unifying China.

With the capital of Great Qin Yanjing, the Zhang family naturally settled in Beijing.

In the Zhang family's family rules, it is the first thing to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic to pass on the family with courtesy, so even if it spans more than 300 years, the Zhang family has stood tall in Daqin like the Qi family dynasty, and has become the most famous family in the world.

Of course, this is not always the case.

After being the ancestor of the ministers, the Zhang family has really prospered for several generations, but who can achieve the glory of the generations?

For more than 300 years, the Zhang family has had several ups and downs, but no matter whether the Zhang family has entered the office, the favor from the palace is always indispensable.

And when it came to Zhang Ying's grandfather's generation, the heirs suddenly became difficult again, except for Zhang Jie's son, the rest were all girls.

It happened that Daqin had stood tall for more than 300 years, and the government and the opposition were also tired.

The officials of the dynasty were all raised in the prosperous era of war and death for many years, and they had to talk about the war and the country in the world, and their mouths were like a river gushing, but in fact, there were few who could really carry the girder to Zhongxing.

In the entire Great Qin country, ethnic disputes have still not been resolved from the roots.

Helian Shizi has always been high, especially after Qin Taizu unified the north and south, some of them always thought that they were superior nobles, because of the solidification of class concepts, they were never able to accept intermarriage with the Wuma and Tuoba people.

As a result, after more than 100 years of stability, the contradictions between the three ethnic groups gradually became acute again.

On the side of the imperial court, since Emperor Renzong, it has gradually festered and corrupted.

The local tyrants and inferior gentry were rampant in the township, and the governors at all levels of the five armies were almost all controlled by the Helian people.

In the past, a hundred household chiefs could knock down three or four big men with their bare hands, and they could help the people carry grain and transport grain in their spare time, but they became wine bags and rice bags with fat waists and intestines, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and forcibly taking the land snake of the tyrannical side.

Of course, these are only presented in writing, and in the after-dinner conversations with the visitors.

At that time, Yanjing was still full of lights and wine, singing and dancing. No one thinks of the smoke of gunpowder that cannot be seen as a disaster.

The teenagers spurred their horses, stepped on the snow to find flowers, and the girls in the window of the moon cave in the deep boudoir, the same as the girls who tried on makeup in the mirror, were still a bright and graceful scenery in Daqin, dressed in prosperous clothes.

The Zhang family has taken it as its responsibility to protect the country and worry about the people.

The situation was like this, and the old lady who was in charge of the household department at that time put all her hopes and energy on Zhang Jie.

Zhang Xie is talented and intelligent, and has been nurtured in the family environment since he was a child, and finally lived up to his expectations, and shined in the Guozijian when he was a child.

Later, before he was twenty, he defeated countless opponents in the north and south of the river and won the gold list of the champion title of the year.

After that, he married the eldest daughter of Xiao Taishi, and gradually established a household and spread out. Borrowing a few hours to familiarize himself with the experience of several famous ministers in the family as officials, since he was admitted to the Shujishi, Zhang Xie has risen all the way, and he has entered the cabinet in less than forty.

And God bless the Zhang family, the emperor at that time, and it happened that Zhang Xie was so good that he almost worshiped the hair when he was young.

Before the emperor died, he entrusted the prince to Zhang Jie, and wrote in the Ministry of Rites under the sickbed, and pointed out the marriage between the prince and the granddaughter of Taishi Xiao.

This is actually a very dangerous move.

If it weren't for his absolute trust in Zhang Xie and even the Zhang family, the emperor would never have handed over the auxiliary power to him, and he would have given the position of crown princess to the Xiao family.

The crown prince ascended the throne in the same year, and the following year, Zhang Xie gradually resigned from the table, and the new emperor tried his best to keep it, but Zhang Xie still insisted on handing over the official seal after a deep conversation with him.

It wasn't until three years later that the emperor had gradually stabilized the imperial power through his own ability, and the frequent outbreaks of civil uprisings in Shanxi, Shandong, and the increase in the number of rogues made the emperor come to the door again to ask him to come back, and he returned to the court without saying a word.

These were events that happened five or six years before Zhang Ying's death, some of them were in her own memory, some of them were told by her mother and the queen's cousin, and some of the more distant history was the result of her running to the library in the mansion by herself.

The signs of the troubled times finally became the spark of the prairie fire, and the country recovered by Great Qin was wiped out.

And their Zhang family finally became the funeral companion of Daqin.

"Girl. ”

Yuanbei pushed her, and the voice was like a small stone, throwing it into her thoughts, making her soul ripple between memory and reality again, swaying with the wind of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She let out a sigh and shook her fan. "It's almost there, isn't it?"

The pedestrians and streets outside the window are still the same as in memory, but they seem to be dressed in a coat of vicissitudes.

"It's almost there, it's ahead!"

Yuanbei pointed out the window.

Sure enough, the carriage turned a corner and turned onto Beicheng Street.

Luer Hutong is located in the richest part of the northern city, and it is also the location of the famous Han Mansion.

owes her a life, and Wen Chan, who has been paid by the Zhang family for so many years, lives here.

Although I knew that it was impossible to meet her this time, I still had to see what kind of scenery Mrs. Han, who was decent in the eyes of the world.

Originally, it stands to reason that she should go back to Zhang's Mansion first, but after two nights, she finally couldn't muster the courage.

The vicissitudes of the world, things are people, and she is timid.

The more you value something, the more you don't want to touch it, probably because of this feeling.

In her previous life, she had not experienced the suffering in the past sixteen years, and Tuo Wenchan's blessing could be regarded as allowing her to taste it all in the past half a month!

She looked around casually, the carriage had turned into the alley, and a jade tablet was clearly erected at the mouth of the alley, with the four characters of Hanfu written on it.
