Chapter 005: Generous Arguments (2)
The Zhang family's reputation in Chang'an is very good.
Zhang Jiuling is not only a generation of famous ministers, but also a poet, and has a high reputation among the scholars. Although Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao's talents are not as good as Zhang Jiuling, they can be regarded as a clear stream of scholars and are quite famous, but because of Zhang Jiuling's painful lesson, the two of them are more introverted and learn to protect themselves.
For example, Zhang Jiugao worked as an official under Li Linfu's son Li Xiu, although he couldn't get used to the behavior of Li Xiu's father and son, he also knew that the big tree of the Li family could not be shaken, and he was cautious in his words and deeds, and he got along with Li Xiu safely in the past two years.
If at this moment, the Zhang family flattered Li Linfu for help, it would definitely greatly damage the reputation that has been established over the years. But Qingyu is all false names, and it seems to be nothing compared to Zhang Huan's life and the future and fate of the whole family.
Therefore, after a while, Zhang Jiuming's words were tacitly accepted by everyone present.
The Liu family sighed faintly, got up with Zhang Ning and saluted Zhang Jiuming, and said softly, "When the crisis is over, the second uncle alone is in charge!" ”
Zhang Jiuming got up and avoided Liu's salute, sighed and said, "It's okay, we are three mansions in one, and we share blessings and misfortunes, and our fate is connected, and we are really one family." Now that the eldest brother is gone, so-and-so is in charge. ”
"Sister-in-law, Yihe, today's plan, the three of us have to hurry up and prepare a heavy gift, and the third brother and I will go to Li Linfu's mansion for help."
"Third brother, you take Yihe and go to prepare immediately, and I and my sister-in-law are waiting at the house...... There is no time to hesitate or delay in this matter. ”
Zhang Jiuming waved his hand.
Zhang Jiuling died, and he was the eldest of the three brothers of the Zhang family, and at this juncture, he would not be able to make up his mind.
Zhang Jiugao also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't talk nonsense, nodded and took Zhang Ning to prepare for the gifts for Li Linfu.
Li Linfu likes extravagant pomp, and he naturally needs a lot of money when he applies it. Therefore, they are still a little greedy for money and good things. If the Zhang family really gave a heavy gift that could make Li Linfu look at it, maybe Li Linfu could really say a word for Zhang Huan.
And as long as Li Linfu has a slightly mild attitude, Ji Wen, the mad dog raised by Li Linfu in captivity, will turn, and it will also affect the emperor's attitude. And Zhang Huan and the Zhang family have a glimmer of life.
This is Zhang Jiuming's thoughts. What he wants to fight for is this glimmer of life.
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door: "This is not possible!" ”
As he spoke, the door of the front hall was pushed open, and Zhang Xuan, who was dressed in a cyan silk robe with a solemn expression, strode in.
Zhang Xuan has been listening outside the door for a long time. Hearing that his family finally decided to ask Li Linfu for help at all costs, he was taken aback, and he didn't care about hesitation, so he immediately pushed the door in and said something to stop him.
At this moment, it is the end of July in the eleventh summer of Tianbao, and Li Linfu is about to die of illness. After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong refused to let go of the Li family, and instigated An Lushan to falsely accuse Lin Fu of rebellion with the Fan general Absi.
At this time, if the Zhang family takes refuge in Li Linfu, it will not only damage the reputation of the Zhang family and not save Zhang Huan, but will also be implicated by Li Linfu, standing on the opposite side of Yang Guozhong, who is about to cause an incident, and really encounter the disaster of overthrowing and annihilating the clan.
Zhang Xuan, who is familiar with the historical process, understands this very well. If Zhang Huan was falsely accused and imprisoned, it was a big disaster for the Zhang family, and choosing to throw himself into Li Linfu at this time could only make the Zhang family irreversible.
Doom is in sight.
Therefore, he knew that he was holding this identity and that his words had no weight, and he was afraid that no one would listen to him, but he still couldn't help but try his best to stop it.
Really. As soon as Zhang Xuan appeared like this, except for the Liu family, the faces of everyone else became gloomy.
Although Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao are extremely disgusted with this nephew who does not learn and has no skills, they are elders after all, and they have to take into account the identity of their elders at this time, but Zhang Ning is different.
He was already in a very bad mood at the moment, the family was working together to rescue his brother Zhang Huan from the family crisis and walking on thin ice, this prodigal suddenly ran out to cause chaos, how could he give Zhang Xuan a good look?
Zhang Ning glared at Zhang Xuan irritably, and scolded, "Third brother, what are you doing when you run out?" There's something big going on at home, I can't let you mess around, so hurry up! ”
Zhang Xuan didn't care about Zhang Ning's attitude. He stared deeply at Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Jiugao, fixed his mind, bowed down and bowed deeply, "I've seen my mother, I've seen two uncles!" ”
Although Zhang Jiuming and the others didn't like Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan greeted him in person, and as an elder, he had to express it.
"Get up." Zhang Jiuming smiled faintly.
Zhang Jiugao frowned and waved his hand, squeezed out a "um" word from his nostrils, and then glanced at Zhang Ning, and then continued to go out to prepare gifts.
Zhang Xuan took a sideways step, just blocking his way. Zhang Jiugao raised his eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard Zhang Xuan say loudly, "Uncle, don't ask Li Linfu for help!" Never! ”
Zhang Jiugao glared at him, and reprimanded in a deep voice impatiently, "Ignorant son, what do you know?" Hurry up and get out of here! ”
Zhang Ning came forward very impatiently and grabbed Zhang Xuan's arm and pulled him to the side. Liu's expression changed, and he was about to say something, Zhang Xuan had already broken free from Zhang Ning's tear, turned around and stood there proudly staring at Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, bowed down again, and his voice was not loud but unusually firm and powerful, "Uncle, please listen to Xuan'er finish speaking." ”
"On the one hand, Li Linfu controls the government and causes chaos in the world, although the power is prominent for a while, but sooner or later it will be stinking for 10,000 years. Our Zhang family has always been loyal and good, and it is not a bad reputation to associate with such traitors and villains? ”
Moreover, Ji Wen is Li Linfu's lackey, and Ji Wen's false accusation of framing his brother is most likely due to Li Linfu's instructions...... At this time, isn't it very ridiculous for us to go to Li Linfu for help? ”
As soon as Zhang Xuan's words came out, Zhang Jiuming was stunned for a moment, not because he agreed or disagreed with Zhang Xuan's words, but because this prodigal son, who had always been unlearned and unskilled, made the Zhang family ashamed, and said a few high-sounding "serious words", which surprised him a little.
Zhang Jiuming also glanced at Zhang Xuan in surprise, feeling that today's Zhang Xuan was a little different from the past. But this thought was only fleeting, and Zhang Xuan's words were not taken to heart.
Zhang Xuan said that he didn't know what he said, but as a last resort. Even though Ji Wen falsely accused Zhang Huan at the behest of Li Linfu, at this moment, the Zhang family had no other way to go except to bow to Li Linfu and ask for mercy.
Zhang Jiuming sighed, his voice softened a little, "Xuan'er, you are still young, and the affairs of the family are naturally up to me, your third uncle, and your mother, so you can step down." ”
Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Jiuming with a complicated expression, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Jiugao, secretly anxious in his heart.
Even though he had conclusive evidence in his heart, he couldn't say it. And looking at the current situation, with his usual prodigal style, no one will listen to him even if he says it wildly.
