Chapter 4: Undercurrents
In the eyes of this group of Zhang family disciples, Zhao Qingxuan has no talent and no virtue, acts absurdly and is indulging in fun, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not worthy of virtue.
Although they don't dare to do anything to usurp the throne and plot rebellion, they can still give it a try by forcing the palace to abolish the emperor, after all, in the eyes of the world, Zhao Qingquan is much stronger than Zhao Qingxuan.
Of course, they only have one choice, Zhao Qingquan.
Perhaps it is the price of generations of Ming monarchs, although the Great Song Dynasty has been a hundred years of national ancestry, five generations of kings before and after, but the Zhao family is still scarce, and to this day, including Zhao Qingyu, the Zhao family is only four people.
As long as you can get the support of other families, even if there is only one Wang family, this abolition of the emperor may not be impossible.
The Wang family has also participated in the palace forcing for 20 years, and the situation they are facing at this moment is no different from theirs. The Zhang family is mostly a civil official, while the Wang family is a military general. Although the military power in his hand is far inferior to that of the Marquis of Liaoling, it is still somewhat there.
Although there are discords between the two families on weekdays, they have the same interests at the moment, and as long as they can be brought together, things are promising.
Although they were all opposed to moving the capital, their ideas were much more radical than those of the previous group, and it was difficult for everyone to agree with them. Not only that, but they were slammed by another group of people.
The last group of people was the only one in the Zhang family who agreed with Zhao Qingxuan's move to the capital. They believe that those who are ministers should eat the king's fortune and share their worries for the king, rather than shouting against the king when he has made a decision. What's more, the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhang family are both prosperous and loss-making. Only when the Great Song Dynasty can dominate Kyushu can the Zhang family get more. In front of Da Song, the current gains and losses of the family are simply not worth mentioning.
They ridiculed the people who proposed to stay on the line, and rebuked the group of people who wanted to depose the emperor as rebellious ministers and thieves. The others sneered that they were a pack of white-eyed wolves with their elbows turned out. A group of literati quarreled in the lobby of Zhang's house in this way.
Looking at the hideousness of their expressions and the vulgarity of their words, if it weren't for the fact that they were still wearing the official uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty, others would probably think that they were a group of shrews scolding the street here.
Just when the noise below became more and more intense, a maid lowered her head through the red-faced crowd and went straight to Zhang Yi, who was always smiling on the main seat.
"The head of the family, the Wang family is here."
Zhang Yi turned his head, looked at the subordinate who was lowering his head beside him, and said softly: "What is the matter with them?" ”
"They said that General Zhenxi had something to find the head of the family, and asked the head of the family to go to the Wang's house."
After speaking, the maid looked indignant, "They are all the heads of the family, and even if the king is invincible, he will put on a commanding attitude." ”
Zhang Yi smiled lightly: "General Zhenxi is old, and he has made countless contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is reasonable for me, a junior, to visit him." ”
"People are good and are bullied, it is because you have a good temper that the Wang family will not take you seriously."
The maid was a little uneven.
Their head of the family is good everywhere except for being too obsessed with pen and ink, and his temperament is even more supple.

There is no shelf of the head of the Zhang family. Even in the face of these subordinates, he always spoke softly.
However, it is precisely because of this that others do not have much respect for Zhang Yi, even if he is the head of the most powerful Zhang family in the Great Song Dynasty.
Hearing the maid's words, Zhang Yi raised his hand and knocked on her head, and said angrily: "You still talk about others, why did you ever put me in your eyes." ”
Seeing the maid covering her head and snickering, Zhang Yi shook her head, and then stood up from her seat, "I'll go to the other door and have a look, and let them quarrel in the lobby first." It is estimated that Ah Yu will be back soon, if there is anything at home, let him deal with it. ”
"Why do you let the prime minister deal with it."
The maid said: "It's not that the prime minister is bad, but after all, you are the head of this Zhang family, if you let the prime minister do everything, others look down on you and don't say it, the position of the head of the family..."
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Those who can work harder, Ah Yu is better than me, and it is also appropriate to do more." Besides, whoever is the head of the family is not the head of the family, they are all a family, and they care so much about what they do. ”
After that, Zhang Yi ignored the little maid who was still sighing in place, walked through the lobby, and walked out of the Zhang family's mansion.
The Wang family's house is opposite the Zhang family, and the two are just across the street. So, without taking two steps, Zhang Yi was already standing in front of the Wang family.
"Go in, the master of the house is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you."
Facing the slightly contemptuous gaze of the Wang family's subordinates, Zhang Yi did not show any dissatisfaction. He nodded with a smile and stepped into the house.
When Zhang Yu walked into the lobby, an old man with crane hair and a childish face immediately met his eyes. Zhang Yu stepped forward and bowed down to the octogenarian who looked in good spirits.
"The junior Zhang Yi has seen General Zhenxi."
"Hmm."
Wang Wushu replied without being salty, and then said, "Sit down." ”
Zhang Yi sat down beside Wang Wudi very obediently, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the old general wants the younger generation to come, so what's the matter?" ”
Wang Wushu waved his hand impatiently: "The old man has always disliked the roundabout style of your literati, and he speaks straightforwardly, so he simply asked directly, what are you going to do about the king's relocation of the capital." ”
Seeing that Wang Wushu was so straightforward, Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The junior is just a cloth shirt, and he has no official position, the old general asks like this, how can the junior answer?" ”
"There's so much nonsense, go or not."
Wang Wushu frowned, and his tone was very dissatisfied: "I really don't know why that sour Confucian in Zhang Zishu chose you, a useless thing, as the head of the family." ”
Although Wang Wudi's words were very unkind, Zhang Yi still didn't have the slightest anger, and he said slowly: "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also necessary to obey the king's orders. What's more, the king also gave Ah Yu an ultimatum, I, who is an elder brother, have no ability, and I can't help Ah Yu share my worries as an official in the court, but I can't drag Ah Yu back, right? ”
"Rory
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's a lot, but in the end, you still support the relocation of the capital? ”
"Yes."
"That's fine."
Wang Wushu snorted coldly: "Get out." ”
Zhang Yi slowly stood up, came to Wang Wudi, took a deep look, and then turned to leave.
When his figure disappeared outside the door, Wang Wushu slapped his hand on the table next to him.
"What the hell is Zhao Qingxuan going to do?!"
Wang Wudi's anger was not because of Zhang Yi, but from the person who was far away in Tianlan.
As the head of the Wang family, he has served in the Great Song Army since Zhao Qingxuan's grandfather's generation, and he is an out-and-out veteran of the Three Dynasties.
For decades, Wang Wuving's meritorious service to the Great Song Dynasty was uncounted, and as his name suggests, he rarely failed in his life.
Although the family behind him also helped, the position of the general of Zhenxi in the four towns of the Great Song Dynasty was finally spelled out by him with a knife and a gun.
But just a few months ago, Zhao Qingxuan's edict directly deprived him of all his military powers.
Wang Wushu would not think that Zhao Qingquan's doll with no hair could compare to him.
The Light of the Great Song?
If there is no them, where is the Great Song.
But there's more to it than that.
The most outstanding young man in their younger generation of the Wang family, Wang Junjie, who had high hopes for Wang Wuving. served under the account of the great general Chen Xi, who originally had a promising future, but was suddenly and inexplicably stripped of his official position and demoted to a soldier.
Coupled with the current relocation of the capital, all of the above seem to point to one point.
The king will move his royal house.
Thinking of this, the original anger on Wang Wudi's face was somewhat restrained, and an extremely complex emotion appeared in his eyes.
……
When Zhang Yi returned home, the quarrelsome crowd in the hall had already dispersed.
He didn't stop and walked straight into the study where he had spent most of his life.
Grinding ink, lifting the pen, the movements are smooth, in one go, in a blink of an eye, a big wooden character appeared on the rice paper spread on the table.
"Big brother's handwriting is still so good."
"'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it', the sharpness of this wooden character is too heavy, not good, not good."
Zhang Yi, who was very dissatisfied with the words, frowned slightly, then turned his head, glanced at the letter that Zhang Yu was holding in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why is Ah Yu here?" ”
"I'll send you a letter."
Zhang Yu said: "As soon as you left on your front foot, a letter came." I'm afraid of my family..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yu shook his head, casually put the letter on the table, and then walked away.
The study fell silent again.
After a long time, Zhang Yi raised his hand to pick up the intact letter and gently opened it.
After reading it once, he chuckled and put it away.
Then, Zhang Yi picked up the pen again, and next to the wooden character that he evaluated as "too sharp", he drew a horizontal skimming and a stroke.
