Zhang Ci nodded slowly and told another story about Zhang's mansion.

This time, the story came to the early Tang Dynasty, and the successors of the nine major families were still from the Zhang Mansion.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world collapsed, and the heroes rose together. According to the ancestral teachings, the nine major families want to protect the new emperor, Luoyang Li Yuan. Therefore, after the negotiation of the nine major families, two branches of the descendants of the Zhang family, namely the Qinghe Zhang family and the Guanzhong Zhang family, were sent to join his command.

Qinghe Zhang was in Li Shimin's army, while Guanzhong Zhang followed Chai Shao and his wife. These two descendants, fighting along the way, came up with ideas for the commander-in-chief, secretly protected Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and ensured that the real emperor could ascend to the throne.

And in this life, the successor of the nine major families is named Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing did not fight and charge like the patriarchs of previous dynasties, and showed his head. He always hides in the shadows, even if he appears, he appears as a Confucian in the rivers and lakes, makes friends with people, and helps Li Yuan's family when appropriate.

In fact, after the division of the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, wars were frequent, dynasties changed, and firearms did not show up for a long time.

Therefore, Zhang Jing's life is very leisurely, and Zhang Ci is envious when he talks about the life of this ancestor. Because among the known heirs of Zhangfu, this is the only one who has not been chased and killed at all, and finally grew old with his wife, and died with children and grandchildren. Zhang Jing's branch branched out, and later went to Huainan and became the Zhang clan of Huaiyin.

Of course, at the age of forty-five, Zhang Jing had voluntarily resigned as patriarch. At that time, there was already a candidate for the next patriarch.

And the hero of the story is the next patriarch, the patriarch appointed by Zhang Jing. Zhang Ci said that taking the historical records of the nine major families as an example, so far, the talent of this patriarch is the most commendable except for the first generation of ancestors. This patriarch's name is Zhang Jia, like Zhang Ci, who is not from the main house of the big family, but also belongs to the side branches. This one, whose parents are cousins and sisters, are all children of the Zhang family. The two were not in the extended family, but both lived in Hongnong in their early years, and after their union, they also lived in Hongnong. Therefore, Zhang Jia is from Hongnong's side branch.

Initially, when Zhang Jia was born, the elders of the clan also organized a group to evaluate it, but they only thought it was an ordinary baby. But when Zhang Jia was three years old, he was already a famous prodigy. His father is just an ordinary scholar, although he admires rangers and likes poetry and wine, but he is not a madman, and he is at home with a wife and children, helping others copy poems and texts, or helping his wife take care of the tofu shop. In his spare time, he teaches his children to read. This Zhang Jia is only three months old, he can accurately call out Daddy and Auntie, he can read at the age of half a year, he can read at the age of one, and he can hold a pen and write when he is taught by Daddy once, and he can write four lines of poetry at the age of three. At that time, the whole Hongnong was alarmed, and the dignitaries wanted to see the child, and some people even sent famous treasures to ask to see.

Chen Qiuniang was shocked: Isn't this the unlucky child Fang Zhongyong in Wang Anshi's pen?

"What's his father's attitude to this situation?" Chen Qiuniang hurriedly asked, secretly thinking that from a big family like the Zhang family, even if it is a concubine, it will not be too **.

"At first, I was proud to take my children to meet some people, but then I was not happy. Feeling that it is disturbing the child's learning. And in our family, he certainly doesn't want to show off. It was those neighbors who spread Zhang Jia's reputation. So, he closed his door. Zhang Ci replied.

Chen Qiuniang thought: That's right. In the Zhang family, if the child is too smart, he will be dragged away by the elders and used to cultivate an heir. And there is only one heir, if you can't become an heir, your children will be cannon fodder. In this kind of perverted family, who wants others to praise their children for being smart.

"What happened then?" Chen Qiuniang asked. She wasn't really interested in these details, what she wanted to know was who had traveled through time and space, and whether there was a way to travel through time and space.

Zhang Ci drank a glass of water before continuing to talk about Zhang Jia, the ancestor of the Zhang family. He said that the ancestor's life was also very leisurely, at that time, Li Shimin had been on the throne for several years, and his heart was Turkic, although he also wanted to get the firearms of Zhangfu. But helplessly, firearms are really just a legend in the emperor's secrets, and since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, firearms have never existed. Emperor Wu of Han's secret scroll and the group of dead soldiers who snatched firearms for Emperor Wu of Han and fought around with Zhang's mansion were after all old, making him feel as if they were just a legend. In addition, Li Shimin, who can fight well, is also very proud, although he also sent people to secretly pursue the source of firearms, but he did not put too much energy on the pursuit of firearms.

Therefore, Zhang Jia was selected by the ancestor Zhang Jing as one of the next heirs, and after being sent to the trial place of the family for trial, he finally stood out and became the patriarch of the nine major families at the age of eight with a shocking genius. But because this generation is special, the old patriarch is still alive, and the new patriarch has been born, so Zhang Jia did not inherit the patriarch immediately, but had an inspection period.

This inspection period is eight years, and Zhang Jia spent a lot of time in the family land during these eight years. Instead, Zhang Jing specially allowed him to return to his father and mother to study clan affairs.

"So, a large part of him spent time in Hongnong." Zhang Ci said this and made such a summary.

Chen Qiuniang was a little strange why he wanted to make such a summary, so she asked: "Is there anything wrong with spending time in Hongnong?" ”

"Yun'er, are you familiar with history? What is Hongnong? Zhang Ci asked in a low voice.

What is Hongnong? Chen Qiuniang grabbed her hair, thought about it carefully, but she was not very proficient in history. So, I had to shake my head and say, "I don't know." ”

"Hongnong has a famous family, Hongnong Yang." Zhang Ci said.

"Ah, Hongnong Yang, I didn't think about it before. That's pretty famous. In terms of reputation, I'm afraid it's even bigger than your Zhang family's fame. When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she immediately came to her senses. This Hongnong Yang family, she still heard Dai Yuanqing say, saying that this is the real famous family, and she also went to consult historical materials at that time.

"Hmph, our Zhang family has ancestral training, otherwise it will be their turn to get their Yang family?" Zhang Ci pouted.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. What I want to know is who you are talking about. You first said your ancestor Zhang Jing, I thought it was him, and then you said no. I thought it was Zhang Jia, but you came up with a Hongnong Yang family at this time. Chen Qiuniang sighed. The bell chime in the hall outside the house has disappeared, the monks' evening class has completely ended, and the night is late, she must race against time to explain it to Zhang Ci clearly, and get his help, then, with the help of the nine major families in the future, it is more likely to find a way to cross.

"Yes, it's related to Hongnong Yang. However, the luck of the ancestor Zhang Jia was not as good as that of the ancestors of the previous dynasties. He had a crush on a woman all his life, but had to make enemies of her. Zhang Ci sighed.

Chen Qiuniang became more and more incomprehensible, so she asked, "This woman is from the Hongnong Yang family?" Could it be that the Hongnong Yang clan still wanted to usurp the throne at that time? ”

Zhang Ci nodded and said, "This woman is a member of the Hongnong Yang clan, but the Hongnong Yang clan is not a usurper of the dynasty, but it is not far from a usurpation of the Yu dynasty." The point is that the person they support is not the emperor prophesied in the family mirror. And the power of the Hongnong Yang clan is too strong, if the Zhang family does not interfere, history will deviate from the divine will. ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she probably understood a little. The woman of the Hongnong Yang clan must have been involved in this turmoil, and as the patriarch, if she wanted to support the emperor to ascend the throne, she had to be an enemy of the Hongnong Yang clan, or even an enemy of that woman.

"Then, you are supporting the Nine Emperor Princes, Li Zhi. And Hongnong Yang's support should not be Li Chengqian, nor should it be Li Tai. "Chen Qiuniang is still relatively clear about the history of the two princes seizing the crown prince in history. One is Li Shimin's sons, and the other is Kangxi's sons.

"Yes, they are supporting the one with the Yang bloodline." Zhang Ci also smiled bitterly and added, "Hongnong Yang's was already an embroidered pillow in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was not in decline. Compared with their ancestors, it is simply an insult to the ancestors. ”

"The concubine shouldn't be an unreasonable person. It's hard to say who one, and there are not many records in history. It is only said that he is indeed talented and quite heroic, but it is said that he has a good temper. Chen Qiuniang said. She used to look at history, and it was a pity for the death of that one.

"But he is young and frivolous, and he has a shocking talent. Besides, his father was a bad example, who wouldn't have an idea? His mother is in the deep palace, where can she control him again. Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "In the family records of the Zhang Mansion, this prince also had ambitions, but after repeated defeats, he restrained a lot, and later, his younger brother inherited the throne, and he also rested." ”

But the eldest grandson Wuji still killed him. In this death, Zhang Fu also contributed a lot. Chen Qiuniang was a little ironic when she said this, and she hated that Zhang Ye more and more in her heart. Why does he think that if he has insight into history, he can act as an intervener in history, and he will end up in the same way. Since you can travel through time and space, how do you know that the parallel space in science fiction will not exist?

Zhang Ci frowned and whispered, "Yun'er, that's none of our business." Besides, Fang Yiai and Gao Yang did those two things, it will inevitably happen, his death is destined by history, how can it be said that it is Zhangfu's problem. ”

Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "Second son, who can be the judge of whom?" No one is more noble than the other. Have you thought about it? Why did Zhang Fu do this? ”

Zhang Ci fell silent and only sat on the edge of the bed. Chen Qiuniang looked at him, and he looked a little sluggish, probably he had also suspected the question that Chen Qiuniang had just asked, and he was also puzzled.

Chen Qiuniang felt distressed when she saw him so lonely and depressed, so she continued to stir up the topic of Fang Cai and opened this page.

"Then I wonder who the one who might have crossed over is who?" Chen Qiuniang broke the silence.

Zhang Ci made a long story short at this time, and said: "It's the woman from the Hongnong Yang family." Because she supported that one, she was originally friends with my ancestor, but in the end she had to turn against her. But according to what my ancestor said, that woman could read the classics left by her ancestor Zhang Ye. It is said that one day, he was reading a book, and the woman came to visit, and in his hurry, he missed a page, and happened to be seen by the woman. The woman was very surprised, thinking that it was written by Zhang Jia's ancestor. I read it out and said what it meant. ”R1152
