Chapter 342: Yuan Zhen
It's probably your opponent who knows you best, and that's true. When Zhang Bailong asserted that war would break out soon, people at the time, including Zhang Ergongzi, thought he was still alarmist.
Yin Susu's power is indeed very great, but after all, she is not a powerful person on the surface, and she is a woman without the support of her mother's family, and she is not to the point of covering the sky with one hand. According to normal calculations, it is most beneficial for the imperial court to start a war after half a year, and now it has been less than four months since that incident was leaked, and the preparation time of both the imperial court and the Zhang family is too short.
But where does Zhang Bailong care about the opinions of these people, people like him are very confident in their judgments. didn't even need to disagree with the public, he directly used his power to order the news back, and in order to prevent the elders in the family from believing it, he also asked someone to forge some evidence and send it over.
"I think this kid Bailong is thinking too much, it's November now, and it's going to be the wax moon soon, and the weather is so cold, it's not a good time to start a war at all, it's going to be the end of the year." After receiving the news from the capital, an old man said tremblingly, and the disapproval in his words was very obvious.
"Fiction is real, reality is fiction, it is also difficult to say, after all, no one has ever stipulated that there can be no war in the cold winter." The one who spoke was a handsome middle-aged man, although he was forty years away, he could still be called Uncle Mei's level, which showed that he was young. "Once a decision is made to go to war, time and weather cannot be a decisive factor. Besides, I trust my son's judgment as well. ”
Another middle-aged man sneered when he heard this, "Your son? Don't you know Zhang Bailong's temperament? What is his origin, you don't know? You didn't care about him until he was thirteen. Our Zhang family was not very good to him at that time, and you have to count the last one. Who knows if that guy will falsify evidence to make us start the war in advance and fall into passivity? Maybe he's always trying to get revenge on us. ”
In fact, this man is right, those so-called evidence and news were all forged by Zhang Bailong. Zhang Ergongzi is also worried that someone will leak secrets to his family. Zhang Bailong sneered, "I told them, as long as someone tells the family, no matter who tells them, none of them want to escape, it just so happens that I think their group of waste firewood is not capable of doing things, and they want to change a batch." ”
Everyone knows that Zhang Bailong is famous. Such a thing is definitely done. If the news really leaked out, Zhang Bailong would not be able to do it, but they were all under Zhang Bailong's nose. There is absolutely no escape. Therefore, in the face of Zhang Bailong's smile, these people were silent one by one, and swore to the sky that they would never leak out. And although such ruthless methods can't really convince people, there is no problem in suppressing these people for the time being. Zhang Ergongzi has been struggling to subdue these people during this time. Seeing such a scene, I have to sigh that I am still a little short of the means.
However, although this evidence is fake. These people didn't see it, they just grabbed a little bit to attack Zhang Bailong, and used it to attack Zhang Bailong's biological father Zhang Qiongfeng. If you really want to be in front of Zhang Bailong, these people don't dare to provoke him like this, because Zhang Bailong is moody and has extremely high martial arts, although he is a relative, no one knows whether he will attack him in the end. However, at this time, Zhang Bailong was in the capital. I won't be able to come back anytime soon, but I don't have to worry too much. Zhang Bailong's biological father who attacked horizontally, not Zhang Bailong himself.
Because of some reasons in his life and because of his difficult and painful childhood, Zhang Bailong's relationship with his biological father is not very good, which is also a well-known thing. However, after that incident, Zhang Qiongfeng can still have a lot of status in the Zhang family, and he is also prosperous in the officialdom, and he is not a cowardly person.
"Zhang Qionghua, don't go too far! If you can't trust me, can't you trust the Great Elder? I know that you hate our father and son because your son was pressed by the white dragon and couldn't get out of the way, and he couldn't become the heir of the next generation of the Zhang family. But you don't want to think about how if such a thing is caught off guard because of your obstruction, not to mention what will happen to you. Can you afford the lives of the whole Zhang family! Zhang Qiongfeng shouted with a lot of energy, and the sharp light in those peach blossom eyes was very sharp, which made Zhang Qionghua not only flinch a little.
Looking at the chaos of the quarrel and discussion below, the old man on the first seat finally spoke, he was wearing a dark brocade robe, his face was relatively ordinary, but he had a pair of dragon eyes, deep and wise. This man is the head of the Zhang family of this generation, Zhang Yuanzhen, the Duke of Qin.
At this time, he looked around, his face was slightly ugly, but as far as he could see, the original noise seemed to be doused with cold water, and fell silent. Even Zhang Qionghua and Zhang Qiongfeng, who were tense before and were about to start a real fight, calmed down and retreated back to their original positions.
"If it weren't for the familiarity of this place, I would have thought I was in a vegetable market." Zhang Yuanzhen's voice was flat and very steady, but anyone could hear the ridicule and dissatisfaction in his words.
"But the news that Zhang Bailong asked people to come back this time is too alarmist, and the news I heard before is that the imperial court plans to start a war before the summer next year." One person argued that he was one of the few great elders of the Zhang family, and he was qualified to open his mouth to defend himself, and no one dared to speak at this time like Zhang Qionghua and Zhang Qiongfeng, who had some real power.
Zhang Yuanzhen looked at him, then looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and said lightly, "I already know about this matter, Bailong specially wrote a letter to tell me, and now I will start preparing immediately, it should not be a month before the imperial court starts a war against our Zhang family." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth like this, no one else had any objections, as if his trust in Zhang Yuan was innate. Zhang Yuan sighed sincerely and began to assign tasks, but he left a few great elders alone.
"Zhang Bailong, that kid really said that the imperial court will definitely start a war against us within a month? This is no small matter, but it is not a joke. An old man asked.
"Who can guarantee that it will be within a month, maybe there will be a month and a day, but it will be almost a month." Zhang Yuanzhen said. "In short, follow-up intelligence and news will be sent, and everyone will always see it."
Zhang Bailong did write another letter to Zhang Yuanzhen, in which he told him the truth. Rather than the words and evidence that fool people, this is also where his cleverness excels.
First of all, Zhang Yuanzhen is his biggest backer and collaborator, and this matter needs his support, otherwise even if there is evidence, with the bureaucratic style of those people in the Zhang family, I don't know if the road will drag on. Secondly, false evidence is false, in case there is really something omission. It's okay for Zhang Yuanzhen to make up for it. In the future, this matter will be exposed, but fortunately, Zhang Yuanzhen helped Yuan lie, and it can be said that he showed Zhang Yuanzhen the real evidence. lest he be attacked and tricked the whole Zhang family, although he did play so many people.
Although there is no evidence, Zhang Yuanzhen has great trust in Zhang Bailong's judgment, and he has studied Yin Susu. After all, it's an old man. The Zhang family and Yin Susu also fought a lot, and they can be regarded as a relatively certain quasi-Yin Susu's character. It's just a pity that Yin Susu's character has almost no obvious loopholes that can be attacked, although the sea of blood is deep and revengeful, but he is a more cautious person than the most cunning fox. If she did miss any loopholes, it was also because she deliberately showed them so that people could jump into her trap.
These people in the Zhang family are not waste. After being fooled a few times, he didn't dare to jump into the pit, maybe Yin Susu really accidentally exposed a loophole. But who is sure if Yin Susu has dug a big hole behind this loophole. On weekdays, Yin Susu prefers to use yang schemes, and there are few tricks and conspiracy, and it is not easy to deal with. Of course, the initial negligence is also one of the reasons for today's situation, if at the beginning, Yin Susu did not grow up before he ruthlessly cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, there would be no trouble today.
Zhang Yuanzhen thought of Yin Susu, a girl who was only in her twenties, and then thought about Zhang Bailong, who was still dazzling and outstanding even though he was wild and uninhibited, moody, and couldn't help but sigh that he was old.
Almost at the same time, the man sitting on the throne in the capital was also lamenting that he was old.
"I'm already old, and the crown prince is in such a situation, I think I should give my sons a chance to perform?" Yu Wenji said to his younger brother Qi Wang Yu Wenxi. "I haven't seen the disputes between my sons in the past few years, and now that this situation is in place, it's better to let them fight openly."
"What do you mean?" Although Yu Wenxi guessed four or five points in his heart, he didn't say it explicitly, but still asked.
"I agree with you and Su Su's opinion, and now I will do it to the Zhang family." Yu Wenji said lightly, "But this time, I plan to let several princes go out to experience it." ”
"I understand what the imperial brother means, but the younger brother is still a little worried." Qi Wang Yu Wenxi thought for a while and said, "One is the prince's side, although his health is not good at the moment, it may not get better in the future, will this matter stimulate the prince?" There is one more thing, that is, will the nephews fight each other and affect the progress of the war? It's not good if you make a mistake about a big thing. ”
"The second thing is easy to do, I can't hand over all the power to them, give them a relatively small power, and they won't affect each other, and I will also warn them, if they delay the military plane, they will be abolished! If it's really too serious, the widow doesn't care about missing a son. Yu Wenji said that the murderous aura was overflowing.
"And the first thing? His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, it is a heavenly posture. Although it is said that Su Su is very smart, the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far from ordinary people, but now it can't be too sad. "King Qi is indeed more worried about the prince's body, first of all, the prince is the prince of the country, which is very important, and secondly, compared to several other princes, he and the prince also have a deep relationship, and he really treats him as a nephew.
"I'll tell him personally, maybe he also has someone who is optimistic about Lu, he has always been open-minded, and he mentioned it to me last time." Speaking of his favorite son, Yu Wenji sighed deeply, and sorrow and sadness appeared in his eyes.
It seems that there is no need to ask about what has been mentioned, and King Qi also sighed for a long time, and after talking about it, he retired. (To be continued......)
