Chapter 137: Old Friends of Zhangfu
When Zhang Han came back from the palace, it was already noon, and his younger brother Zhang Ping had been waiting in the house all night, and when he saw his eldest brother coming back from outside, he hurriedly greeted him, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tired.
Taking the sword handed over by the eldest brother and handing it to the next person, Zhang Ping couldn't help but ask urgently, "How is the eldest brother?" Have you seen Your Majesty? What is Your Majesty going to do? β
Zhang Han stopped and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but noticed that there were still some idle people around him, so he still didn't say anything, just pulled his brother into the study, and only after sending off his subordinates did he say: "I didn't see Your Majesty until the morning, and the matter of Hanguguan has also been reported, Your Majesty did not listen to my advice to leave Xianyang, but appointed me to defend against the enemy in Zhao Gao's slander." β
"What?" Zhang Ping was shocked, he didn't understand how His Majesty could be so confused, Xianyang only had an army of more than 100,000 people up and down, how could he compete with Chen Sheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, and even if the two brothers died on the battlefield, did he even care about his own life?
"All this is to blame on Zhao Gao, blindly pleasing Your Majesty, no matter what the military situation is, I insist that I take the military order and lead the troops to stop the rebels in the water, if I stop him and His Majesty, they will naturally have no worries, if they can't stop me from dying, they can leave again, it's really hateful!" A fist slammed on the wide desk, and Zhang Han couldn't help but curse angrily.
The army of hundreds of thousands is not a good soldier who is a ten, even if there is a famous general Zhang Hanzai, how many days can he hold out? Your Majesty's order is undoubtedly forcing their Zhang family to repay the country with their lives!
Secretly clenched his fists, Zhang Pingping solemnly walked to the front of the study and closed the doors and windows tightly, to ensure that no one could hear the conversation between the two brothers, before he whispered to Zhang Han: "There is a sentence that I know that the eldest brother doesn't like to hear, but now the younger brother has to say, Your Majesty is mediocre, the eunuchs have misled the country, and the decline of the Qin Dynasty Mansion is just a matter in front of us, why should our Zhang family live and die with it, it is better to learn from the Lu family and go out insteadββ"
"How can you talk nonsense!" What Zhang Ping said was a great rebellion to destroy the family and destroy the clan, Zhang Han, as an elder brother, wanted to restrain his younger brother, and when he saw him like this, he quickly interrupted him, and then went to check the surroundings of the study uneasily, and only after making sure that there was no one did he return to his younger brother and said: "As a courtier, it is our duty to shed the last drop of blood for Your Majesty, how can we say such rebellious words!" If we are heard by those who have a heart, I am afraid that we will be quarreled and exterminated if we don't even use the battlefield! β
How could Zhang Ping not know the truth of loyalty and patriotism, but what is the difference between them and seeking death, when he was young, he also thought about opening up the territory and expanding the territory for the Qin Dynasty to defend one side, but now as soon as the first emperor died, the government and the opposition changed a new world, His Majesty was mediocre and didn't know how to govern the country, and now even the eunuchs are pointing the country to climb on their heads, how can he tolerate a good hot-blooded man.
"I understand what the eldest brother means, now there are no outsiders around, my brother will tell the truth, in the early years, I had some friendship with Zhao Chengfeng of the Lu family, and we broke off contact after he defected to Xianyang with Lu Yan, but after the eldest brother entered the palace last night, I met him in private, and after listening to his high-minded talk, I moved this thought, after all, there was a love for the people before the loyal monarch, as long as it was for the good of the people of the world, why did we betray Hu Hai to find a good king?"
It is impossible for Zhang Han not to know such a big thing as the Lu family's defection to Xianyang, but apart from sighing, he has no way to do anything in a sensitive position, he thought that the other party would be able to create a new world after taking refuge in Chen Sheng, but he didn't want to hear that the Lu family betrayed Chen Sheng with a young general, and now he doesn't know where to hide and survive, which is really pitiful.
"Have you seen Zhao Chengfeng? He came to Xianyang? I didn't expect Zhao Chengfeng to break into this tiger and wolf den alone since he was so bold, Zhang Han looked at him a few times, "What is he doing here?" Seeing that you don't want to come here to catch up. β
risking being discovered to sneak into Xianyang and get in touch with an acquaintance, Zhao Chengfeng naturally didn't want to be an old friend, what he wanted to see was Zhang Han, an honest and talkative general.
"What the eldest brother said is right, it is not me but you who he risked his life to sneak into Xianyang, and he has something to say to talk to you alone."
"Oh," Zhang Han didn't think of this, "where is he now?" It's okay for you to find an opportunity to arrange someone to meet with me, but be careful not to be discovered, otherwise our Zhang family's good days will really come to an end. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Ping staggered his gaze from Zhang Han with a weak heart, and did not dare to look at him.
"βyou've already brought people into the house?" How could he, the elder brother, not know what virtue his younger brother had, and immediately Zhang Han's face turned red and white, stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhang Ping, and complained: "His current identity is so sensitive, it's nothing for you to go to see him with affection, and he actually brought people back to the house?!" Where is the arrangement now? Has it been discovered by any of the next people? β
This kind of thing that is easily misunderstood as collusion with thieves is only his younger brother dares to do!
probably knew that he had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to talk back in the face of his angry brother Zhang Ping, he just blinked his eyes and said a little innocently: "I'm measured, I let him sneak into our Zhang Mansion and hide in my bedroom, and I didn't even let the little guy get close, just wait for the eldest brother to come back and arrange for you to meet, in order to avoid long nights, otherwise I just called him over?" β
A heart that suddenly hung up gradually let go, Zhang Han raised his forehead and glared at Zhang Ping, spit out a breath of turbidity and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there are many people in the house during the day, and he is not easy to move, I will go to your room to see him after I finish ordering the army, you make good arrangements not to be discovered." β
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Zhang Han has no way to change it but to accept it, he will go out after explaining to Zhang Ping, after all, he is unwilling to send troops to play in the water this time, and there is no way to resist the decree.
After Zhang Han left, Zhang Ping went out of the study sullenly and returned to his bedroom, at this time Zhao Chengfeng had been waiting for a long time, the two were friends, and he was unceremonious when he saw Zhang Ping, he went up directly with a punch, pulled someone and asked: "Is your eldest brother back?" Did he say to see me? β
Zhang Ping knew that he was in a hurry to see his eldest brother, and he didn't sell it, so he said directly: "Your Majesty appointed my eldest brother to play the chaos, he ordered troops, and he can only be lined up in the back when he sees you, but you can rest assured that he promised to come to see you in the evening, you can wait with peace of mind." β
"What? Your eldest brother will be sent to meet Chen Sheng's rebel army? β
