Chapter 236: How to Marry a Daughter?
Lu Zhishen's eyes lit up, "If the Khitan defense is unstable, it will be difficult to take care of the party, but there is no suitable chess piece at the moment." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Chen Dong thought for a while and said, "In Tokyo, I have heard that the birth of the female Zhen Wanyan is extremely brave, and its leader A Guta is even more eloquent, and has repeatedly fought against the Khitan, which has become a heart disease in the Liao court. β
Lin Chong knew that this news must have come from Tong Guan, and Tong Guan's Ping Yan Ce originated from the idea of Ma Zhi, a Yan human horse dealer.
This Ma Zhi is extraordinary, and he quickly climbed to the position of Guanglu Siqing as a southern official, which is idle and golden, and his career is bright.
Unexpectedly, Ma Zhi hated Yelu Yanxi's absurdity and unreasonableness, and saw through the situation that the Khitan foreign strong and middle cadres were already at the end of the strong crossbow. He was originally a native of Yandi, so he moved the idea of bringing the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and every year there were always Song Dynasty officials in the city who sent envoys to Liao or bought horses, so Ma Zhi went to sell horses. Unexpectedly, he also did a good job of selling horses, and in just over a year, he became the largest horse dealer in Nanjing Province, Liaoning.
In 1111, Tong Guan sent an envoy to Liao with Yu Wei, who had won the victory in the party's battle, and met Ma Zhi at the post house. One deliberately released the water, and the other had the intention to absorb it, and they actually talked very happily.
In the face of Tong Guan's temptation, Ma Zhi said that he would unite the Jurchens to attack the Khitan in the north and south, and he would definitely be able to destroy the Liao State. Then divide up a large area of the original Khitan, and the sixteen states of Yanyun will naturally belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and finally realize the highest wish of the emperor of the Song Dynasty - the golden ou is perfect!
This insight is like a commanding height, just scratching the itch of Tong Guan, making him happy and convinced. Make an appointment with Ma Zhi, and after returning to China, he will definitely recommend Ma Zhi to Zhao Ji, and the two will work together to create a great cause.
Zhang Shangying, who had served as prime minister, was naturally very familiar with this set of remarks about uniting with the Jurchens to recapture Yanyun, and although he did not think it was a wise decision, he did not publicly express his opposition.
"It's a good plan, but so far no one has contacted the Jurchens, and I don't know what their intentions are. The DPRK and China also have concerns about rejecting the tiger at the front door and the wolf at the back door, and the dispute has not been successful, and the officials may not be able to make a decision as soon as possible. But Tong Daofu is full of confidence, and watch. β
Zhang Shangying's sentence can be regarded as a temporary shelving of this discussion, after all, it belongs to the country's major policies, and it doesn't make much sense to say it.
Then the four of them chatted for a while, and Lin, Lu, and Chen said goodbye to Zhang Shangying one by one and embarked on the road to the west.
Before leaving, Zhang Shangying pulled Lin Chong aside and whispered, "Boy, have you seen my granddaughter, what do you think of her appearance?" β
Hey, why is this old guy talking about Zhang Wan in a good way? "Miss Wan'er is as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy in a painting"
"You can marry her as a daughter-in-law, but I have one condition."
Oh!
Lin Chong just woke up from a dream at this time, this old guy actually married his granddaughter to himself? What is the situation?
"Hurry up and make the party items turn people upside down, and cheat a third-grade official hat or marquis from the official's hand. That granddaughter of my family can't wait long! β
Lin Chong's eyes widened when he said this, what is this?
Zhang Shangying didn't hide it, in short, he hoped that Lin Chong would get enough status to match the Zhang family's marriage, and then the two would marry and work together to fight against other forces.
Because Mrs. Zhang was born in the Xiang family in Hanoi, she has always had the habit of marrying important ministers above the court, so when she came to Zhang Shangying, she also took the way of marrying with the powerful family who was in the right household.
As a high-ranking official in the imperial court, Zhang Shangying must first accept the rules of the game in order to continue the power game, and no one-man official can be the prime minister. Being able to marry Mrs. Xiang at the beginning is enough to prove that Zhang Shangying has long recognized this form.
The delicate relationship between the court and the court in Tokyo is reflected in all regions of the country, especially in the border areas, and the control of military power is very intense.
Zhang Shangying knew that Lin Chong and Cai Jing were fighting hotly, but after careful questioning, he knew that Lin Chong had not officially decided to join Cai Jing's disciples, and he couldn't help but want to fight for it.
In fact, it is not that Zhang Shangying has any rebellious ideas, but that he uses military power to balance the important ministers in the border passes.
In other words, as long as we control a large number of troops, we will decide whether we want to win or lose, and even if we can win the war in order to suppress our political opponents, we will deliberately lose them, so that we will dismiss and replace officials who do not belong to our side.
Therefore, in order to confront Cai Jing's family, Zhang Shangying gave Zhang Wan to Lin Chong as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the joining and support of the Wild Wolf Army, which was justified in his opinion.
As for who Zhang Wan marries, it was not up to her to decide, of course, she was not disgusted with Lin Chong, which made Zhang Shangying feel a little comforted.
Having said that, even the emperor Lao Tzu, in order to win over the ministers, often used princesses and sisters-in-law as bargaining chips to marry. There are even emperors who use this to collect money, no matter who they are, as long as they can donate as much as they can say, they can be horses, which is a strange talk for a while.
Lin Chong's jaw fell after hearing this, for the sake of political disputes, the current court has become more and more outrageous, and many things are not about the lower limit. However, Zhang Wan has indeed passed the current age of marriage, and she is already considered to be late in marriage and late childbearing, and she can't drag it out any longer.
But he has a wife, and the old man said that Zhang Wan is the daughter of the long house, and marrying him is to be a small one, according to reason, they will not agree to a big family like them.
If there is a marriage match, you can write a letter of resignation and divorce from the original match, and then turn to marry the daughter of the noble family, so that you can have smooth sailing in your career.
Chen Shimei didn't dare to reveal the reality of having a bad wife at home because she wanted to be a colt, and when Qin Xianglian came to the door to expose the light, she panicked and wanted to solve it with a black hand, but was finally clicked by Bao Longtu.
However, in Zhang Shangying's view, Lin Chong's future achievements are not just an ordinary military attachΓ©, and he may be able to become a feudal official or rank in the horizontal version.
In such a situation, it is unrealistic to ask for the status of the Lin family's housewife for Zhang Wan, because in addition to Zhang Zhenniang, there is also Sun Erniang. Zhang Shangying decisively improved Lin Chong's status and treatment, but this was to ask Lin Chong to agree to this marriage first, in order to block the position of Cai Jing and his family.
Lin Chong also knew that the network behind Zhang Shangying was very deep, and even the Western Army had the influence of their forces. As long as you promise Zhang Shangying, you will be able to have a smooth ride in this year and a half, and get twice the result with half the effort. But once Zhang Shangying was promised, it was difficult for Cai Jing to explain.
Although Cai Jing did not explicitly express his support for himself, whether it was entrusted by the Sect Division to Teng Fu Yin, or partnered with Cai You to engage in gambling boats, Cai Jing's traces were very obvious.
To accept or reject, Lin Chong, who is between the two factions, must think clearly.
