Chapter 002 - Born in a Famous Family (2)

The eunuch who came to announce the decree did not seem to be of low status, but he was very young.

And the accompanying people who came to announce the decree were not only the internal guard Yulin Army, but also the officials and officers of Dali Temple, which shows the seriousness of Zhang Huan's crime.

Zhang Jiuling has three sons and two daughters, and the eldest son is Zhang Huan. At the age of 35, relying on his father's reputation and afterglow, plus he also has some talent, he also went smoothly, and sat in the position of the crown prince Zuo Zanshan, the fifth rank of the high-ranking official, and the auxiliary minister next to the prince Li Heng.

The second son, Zhang Ning, is a high-ranking man of the eighth grade, although he is an unpopular literary official, he also has an official background, which is not too embarrassing for Zhang Jiuling.

Only the youngest son Zhang Xuan, who is not a martial artist, wanders around the city all day long, is nostalgic for flowers, is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and does not understand bullshit when he does business, which makes Zhang's mansion humiliated.

Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning are from Zhang Jiuling's original wife Meng. The two daughters were born by concubines and had already been married. Not to mention.

Meng died early, Zhang Jiuling continued the Liu family in the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, and Zhang Xuan was born in the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan. When Zhang Jiuling died in the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Xuan was only 6 years old, and I am afraid that it was also the result of the loss of strict father's discipline and the doting connivance of his mother.

Although the Liu family is a continuation, she is also a wife rather than a concubine, and her identity is there.

After Zhang Jiuling's death, the Liu family was the old lady of the Zhang family. Because of this, even though the brothers Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning looked down on Zhang Xuan, their younger brother, they had to bear a little bit for the sake of the Liu family and their deceased father.

……

……

"The minister is wronged, the holy ......" Zhang Huan, who was dressed in an official robe and had an earth-colored face, bowed to the ground in the direction of the palace, crying silently, and behind him, Liu, Zhang Ning and others knelt on the ground, their faces were pale, and their lips trembled and they couldn't say a word.

"Is there a grievance? Then I appealed to the court...... Go, take away! Our family still has to go back to the palace to pay the decree. The little eunuch glanced at Zhang Huan disdainfully, waved his hand, turned his head and left.

Immediately, several wolf-like servants rushed forward and took Zhang Huan away.

There is an arched garden gate between the backyard and the courtyard in the front yard, Zhang Xuan quietly stood on the side of the courtyard wall, watching the amazing scene of "chickens flying and dogs jumping" in the front yard, his expression became more and more solemn.

The current Zhang Mansion is in charge of the Neiliu family, and externally, the eldest son Zhang Huan acts as the speaker. The eldest prince was suddenly taken down by the holy decree and taken away and imprisoned, which is tantamount to collapsing half of the sky for the Zhang Mansion, how can it not be a mess.

And that's not all.

"Falsely claiming to be trying to prophesy and accusing public opinion" probably means attacking and insulting the emperor under the pretense of divination, with the suspicion of attempting to rebel. In the era of imperial power, this was a very serious crime, serious enough to make it possible for the entire Zhang family and even the entire Zhang clan to be overthrown by the Manchus.

"Falsely claiming and trying to accuse and take advantage of public opinion...... What a big hat! This means that Zhang Huan is going to rebel! Zhang Xuan was distraught and leaned heavily against the wall, with a fine bead of sweat on his forehead.

If Zhang Huan is convicted of treason, how can the Zhang family not be implicated?

He never dreamed that it would take less than a day and night to cross over to the Zhang family, a famous family in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, and a disaster would come from the sky.

Naturally, he has no feelings for Zhang Huan, and he doesn't have any sense of belonging to Zhang's house, but he ...... In this way, there are no eggs under the nest, and the Zhang family is down, what good life can he have?

"Zhang Huanqi ......" Zhang Xuan calmed down, and his mind flashed.

Quietly combing through the memories left by the original owner of this body and the historical information he had in his previous life. Linking Zhang Huan's official position and the famous unlucky guy in Tang history he served, the current crown prince, and the future emperor of Tang Suzong, Li Heng, Zhang Xuan generally had an intuitive and clear judgment in his heart, and he was probably not far from the truth.

The tragedy of Li Heng lies first in the fact that there is an emperor who is too strong and eloquent, Li Longji. After being established as the crown prince in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, it can be said that he was sincerely afraid of being deposed all the time, because the tragic fate of the former prince Li Ying is still vivid.

The tragedy of Li Heng is second in the fact that there is a "siege" and resistance and exclusion by the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China. In front is Li Linfu, and in the back is Yang Guozhong.

Therefore, Li Heng's life is not easy.

In the first month of Tianbao's fifth year, because of a private meeting with Emperor Fu Weiming and Wei Jian, an important minister, he was seized by Li Linfu to make a big fuss. As a result, Li Linfu impeached Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, saying that the two colluded with the intention of making the prince private. Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian were degraded to death because of this, and the ending was bleak.

In order to clear himself in fear, Li Heng defended himself on the table, and asked for a divorce on the grounds of "discord" with Wei Jian's sister-in-law, the crown princess Wei, to show that he "does not abolish the law by pro-family". Li Longji agreed, Concubine Wei became a nun, and then became strangers to Li Heng.

And at the end of the year, another conspiracy implicated Li Heng. Li Linfu instructed his henchmen to impeach, and he had the posture of not abolishing Li Heng and not giving up. In desperation, Li Hengwan threw out his woman Du Liangdi again and divorced again.

It was only a few years after it was stable, and the incident of Zhang Huan, the prince Zuo Zanshan, "vainly claiming to be a prophecy and reprimanding public opinion" came out...... Zhang Xuan groaned, knowing in his heart that Bacheng was the work of Li Linfu and his party, and Zhang Huan was afraid that he would be a victim of being used.

It was Zhang Huan who was arrested, and Li Heng was dealt with.

……

……

Zhang Xuan's mother, Zhang Jiuling's widow, and Zhang's mother, Liu, are only about 40 people, with a plump body, a beautiful face, and still have charm.

She was born in a family of eunuchs, and her father Liu Yi also used to be the Taishou of Yongzhou. At the critical juncture of the family's life and death, this woman who has always been gentle also showed a bit of courage in the face of danger.

She looked at Zhang Ning, the second son of the Zhang Mansion who was not her own, and her voice was soft but firm, "Yihe (Zhang Ningzi), Licheng (Zhang Huanzi) was killed and committed...... Without further ado, you immediately go to the two uncles' mansions in person and invite the two elders to come over to discuss the matter. ”

Zhang Ning bowed down in a panicked mood, "Yes." I'm going to go to the two uncles' mansions to send a letter and ask the two elders to come and make a decision. ”

Zhang Ning turned around and hurriedly waited to leave the house by car, but heard Liu Shi say again, "Also, Yihe, you go to Chen Xiang's house and ask to see Chen Xiang...... Pleaded with Chen Xiang to be accommodating. ”

The Chen Xiang mentioned by the Liu family is Zuo Xiang**** Lie, who has been an official in the same dynasty as Zhang Jiuling for many years, and his personal relationship is not bad. Something happened to the Zhang family, and it was normal for the Liu family to think of **** Lielai.

It's just that when Zhang Ning heard this, his body stagnated slightly, but a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This **** Lie is no longer the **** Lie of the past, and now the **** Lie of the Left Prime Minister follows Li Linfu's ass and sings and harmonizes, and his power is soaring, and the little love of the year has long been gone.

At the beginning, Zhang Ning wanted to be released as an official, and he looked for **** Lie once, but **** Lie didn't even see him, so he blocked the door.

However, Zhang Ning didn't say anything to the Liu family, but nodded and continued to leave the house.

Looking at Zhang Ning's thin back who left in a hurry, and looking around at the frightened male and female servants who were standing around the patio far away, Liu sighed quietly, looked up at the sky and clouds under the scorching sun, and suddenly felt dizzy.
