As Zhang Potian said, the Shannan Wang family and the Hedong Zhang family are inextricably linked, this is because the ancestral land of the Wang family is also Hedong, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Wang family has always been the Hedong family, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's queen is the daughter of the Wang family, in order to curb the power of the Wang family, Li Zhi looked for an opportunity to abolish the queen Wang, and that incident also led to Wu Zetian on the political stage.

However, the Wang family in Shannan is not the main sect of the Wang family, it was gradually formed by the deposition of Wang Heng to Shannan, the fuse of the struggle between Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong during the Tianbao period.

In the Anshi Rebellion, the Hedong Wang family suffered heavy casualties, and they took refuge in Xiangyang County, and returned to Central China, where the Wang family recruited 30,000 soldiers to fight against the Hu chieftain, and gradually squeezed into the seven families, ranking seventh.

But for the Wang family, returning to Hedong is the goal they have been striving for for generations, but unfortunately the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and there is no place for their Wang family in Hedong.

Since then, the marriage between Zhang and Wang has become the norm, generally speaking, it is the marriage of the princess to the north, Zhang Ruohao's wife Wang Yanluo is Wang Ang's sister, and Wang Fei'er, the wife of Zhang Xuan's eldest son, is also Wang Ang's eldest daughter.

At the same time as marrying the Zhang family, the Wang family gradually climbed the big tree of the Cui family.......

Wang Ang, the head of the Wang family, is fifty years old, but he has only been officially taking over as the head of the family for three years, but in these short three years, Wang Ang has quickly degenerated from Cui Yuan's vanguard to one of his dogs.

The dog, the owner does not move, it goes first, it comes when it is called, and it goes when it is drunk!

．．．．．．．

For ordinary people, the New Year is a day for the whole family to reunite and worship their ancestors, and the New Year of the superior is also a day to accept lowly allegiance and show merit, Wang Ang is no exception, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, there is an endless stream of officials who come to his mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and the carriages are parked at the palace gate.

But they were received by Wang Yan, the son of Wang Ang, and Wang Ang himself took his nephew and son-in-law to Cui Yuan's mansion, and his nephew was Zhang Xuan, the son of Zhang Ruohao.

Last night, Wei Ge urgently found Zhang Ruohao, and without discussion at the joint cabinet meeting, Cui Yuan actually let the emperor approve the commendation and corresponding personnel changes of the Longyou Campaign, and actually wanted to install Cui Qinggong into the cabinet, which was Cui Yuan's first move.

For this reason, Wei Ge and Zhang Ruohao decided to counterattack Cui Yuan in the fourth year of junior high school, and the entry point was Cui Qinggong's case of risking merit, but Zhang Ruohao never expected that when he sent Wei Ge out of the gate, his eldest son Zhang Xuan sneaked into the study.......

"You just need to tell Xiangguo the truth about what you see and hear, and don't be afraid, Xiangguo is a very kind person to the juniors, and he will like you."

On the carriage, Wang Ang instructed Zhang Xuan carefully, "Zhang Ruohao braved the world's greatness, and actually wanted to set up a concubine as the head of the Zhang family, which obviously did not take me in his eyes, in order to keep the status of the heir of your family, you must listen to your uncle's arrangement." ”

"But..... If my father knew..... Zhang Xuan was still a little scared, he only planned to tell Wang Ang quietly, but he didn't expect his uncle to take him to see Cui Yuan, although he was a big fan, but he also knew that there was something wrong with it.

Wang Ang glanced at him and sneered: "If your uncle doesn't help you, who else will help your mother and son?" In fact, I can see Xiangguo alone, the reason why I let you go is to give you a chance, so that Xiangguo feels that you are a malleable talent, otherwise with your talent and learning, there is no hope of fame, the position of the head of the family is taken away, and even a concubine is driven out to live, do you want my daughter to live with you for the rest of your life? ”

Although he knows his son Mo Ruo's father, Wang Ang has the dual identity of uncle and father-in-law, and he knows Zhang Xuan better than his father, he saw Zhang Xuan's gloomy expression, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Do you know how much Zhang Ruohao spends for a month?" Tell you, 6,000 guan, there are forty-two concubines in his capital mansion, and what about you? It's only twenty times, there are only two wives and concubines, and if you don't pass the imperial examination, you have to cut off another ten times, do you want to hold your wife and eat stewed cabbage every day, or do you want wives and concubines to be in groups and have swollen waists, think about it yourself! ”

The carriage was moving along, and there was silence in the carriage, and when he was about to arrive at Cui's mansion, Wang Ang saw Zhang Xuan start to tidy up his clothes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smug smile.

．．．．．．．

In the hall of Cui's mansion, a eunuch was announcing to Cui Yuan:

“．．．．．． To appease the Quartet, the merit is in Sheji, and his daughter Ning is specially named the lord of Qinghe, admire this! ”

After the eunuch finished reading, he immediately changed his sneering face and said: "The title of this county lord is easily not awarded to foreign ministers, congratulations to Xiangguo!" ”

"What! Is this the will of the Queen Mother? ”

Cui Yuan saw that the eunuch who came to issue the decree came from the Taiji Palace, and he was a little surprised, the Queen Mother had not issued a decree for nearly ten years, how could she make an edict for no reason today?

The eunuch saw that there were no outsiders around, so he whispered in Cui Yuan's ear: "This is actually what the emperor meant. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Cui Yuan snorted heavily, in the past few months, the Li family, who has been a puppet emperor for fifteen years, seems to be a little active, on the one hand, he secretly sent people to contact Duan Xiushi to win over ministers loyal to him, and on the other hand, he was debauched and debauched to cover up his weakness.

Needless to say, Cui Yuan also knew the reason, it was nothing more than because his five-year term was about to expire, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods jumped out, Cui Yuan's mind turned, and he immediately understood the intention of the Li family, presumably he wanted to use this means to prevent the marriage of Cui and Chu.

He sneered secretly, but said with a respectful smile on his face: "Please tell the Queen Mother, her care for the old minister, the old minister is engraved in her heart!" ”

After that, he turned back to Cui Ning and said, "Ning'er, change your clothes and follow this father-in-law into the palace to thank you!" ”

"Yes! Father. Cui Ning didn't dare to look up, and walked back to the room to change clothes.

"Father, Feng my sister as the county lord actually ignored it without the consent of my Cui family!"

It was Cui Yuan's eldest son Cui Xian who spoke, he was about thirty years old, with a huge nose similar to his father, he was currently the governor of Shu County, and he was about to be promoted to Taichangqing after the New Year, and this time he was returning to Beijing to report on his work.

According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, the unmarried women in the imperial family's mansion were named princesses and county lords, mostly for the sake of harmony with Bian Fan, in addition, the reputation of the Tang royal family women is not good, and they have always been despised by the major families and are unwilling to marry with them, so it is not a good thing to be named Cui Ning as the county lord of Qinghe, this is the reason why Cui Xian is angry, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty ruler, how can she be at the mercy of the Li family?

But his father Cui Yuan didn't seem to care, and a cold smile slowly appeared in his eyes, "You don't understand the subtleties of this!" ”

He glanced at his son and smiled faintly: "The Li family borrowed the hand of the Queen Mother to canonize Ning'er, it was to cover up his weakness, but it also fell into my arms, I am worried that the Queen Mother is used to the loneliness of the harem and refuses to interfere in politics, so I will have the opportunity to send power to her." ”

Cui Xian's eyes were puzzled, and he asked in a low voice, "What is my father's intention in letting the Queen Mother interfere in politics?" Can the child be made explicit. ”

Cui Yuan touched his huge nose and smiled proudly, "You just wait and see, that woman has always been addicted to power, and when she can't extricate herself, you will understand the intention of being a father, and this day will come soon." ”

"Father, my daughter will enter the palace." Cui Ning had changed into a formal dress to say goodbye to his father.

"Go ahead! Say hello to the Queen Mother on behalf of your father, please tell her, if you have any needs, just ask. ”

has been sending the baby daughter to the carriage, Cui Yuan suddenly remembered something again, the good mood was immediately destroyed, the last time she stole the piece of jade, she didn't pursue it, yesterday she actually took a treasure knife from the treasury without authorization, he didn't care about a knife, but according to the guard, this knife was sent to the sixth inn of Gaosheng, which made him extremely annoyed.

Annoyed is annoyed, but he doesn't want to touch Zhang Huan for the time being, not because Zhang Ruohao reached an agreement with himself, not because he is the protagonist of the fraudulent case, not to mention that he is very likely to be Chu Banglan's son, but because he is the heir to the head of the family set by Zhang Ruohao.

In Cui Yuan's plan to exterminate the Zhang family, Zhang Huan will be an extremely important chess piece, but it is not yet time to play chess......

"Sir! Wang Shangshu asked to see him at the door, and brought a young man. The butler's report interrupted his train of thought.

"Young people? Is it Wang Ang's son? It shouldn't be, his son has been here many times, and the porter knows him, does he also want to learn from Zhang Ruoho and bring a concubine to pay New Year's greetings? Cui Yuan smiled, "Please ask them to wait in my outer study!" ”

．．．．．．．

"This、Is this Choi Sang-guk's study?" Zhang Xuan couldn't believe his eyes, there were only two cursive scripts hanging on the wall, the bookcase and desk were old, and even the soft cushions on the floor were patched, this was the most humble study he had ever seen.

Wang Ang understood what he meant, and sneered lightly: "Do you think that Xiangguo's study should be inlaid with gold and jade?" Let me tell you, this study is not so easy to enter, and only officials above the fifth grade are qualified to enter. ”

"Brother Wang is wrong, when will the old man not let officials below the fifth grade come in?" I don't know when, Cui Yuan appeared at the door, his smile was extremely kind, he looked at Zhang Xuan and smiled: "Is this little brother your nephew?" ”

Wang Ang hurriedly pulled Zhang Xuan, stepped forward to give a salute, and said with a smile: "This is my son-in-law and my nephew!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Little nephew Zhang Xuan see Uncle Shi!" ”

"Oh! You are Zhang Xuan. Cui Yuan glanced at Wang Ang meaningfully, the two of them touched their eyes, they both smiled, he stepped forward, held Zhang Xuan's hand with a warm and fat big hand and smiled: "South Yan Beixuan, East Wei and West Qing, the four princes of this dynasty have been famous for a long time!" ”

Zhang Xuan's hand was held by Xiang Guo, he was so excited that his legs trembled, and said: "Those are all nonsense of good deeds, and the little nephew is ashamed!" ”

"Young people leave a good story, why not, if the old man is thirty years younger, he has to fight, hehe! Lao Wang, do you say? ”

Wang Ang said with a smile: "These stinky boys only know Fengyue, where can they talk about the word Fengliu, Brother Cui single-handedly visited Hui Dengli Khan, and said that he would retreat 200,000 Hu troops, then it was called Fengliu." ”

Cui Yuan laughed, "Don't mention the past!" Don't mention it! He took Zhang Xuan's hand and sat down, and asked with a smile: "The virtuous nephew made a special trip to pay New Year's greetings to the old man today?" ”

"Little nephew, little nephew......" Zhang Xuan glanced at his uncle timidly, and under his encouraging gaze, he mustered up the courage to say: "Little nephew has something I want to tell Uncle Shi." So, he told him about Wei Ge's secret meeting with his father last night, and handed Cui Yuan a crumpled piece of paper.

Cui Yuan took it and glanced at it casually, only to see that the words 'Zhang Huan, Ma'anling, and Hui Hui Army Rations' were written scattered on it, which were Wei Ge's handwriting, he sneered, and suddenly asked lightly: "What is the origin of Zhang Huan's mother?" ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, how could Xiang Guo ask this headless and unfinished word, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Huan's mother is quite mysterious, no one in the Zhang family knows her life experience, she was a monk in Taiyuan twelve years ago. ”

"It seems so!" Cui Yuan nodded secretly, and smiled at Zhang Xuan again: "Since you have come to my mansion, let your brother Cui Xian talk to you, come here!" ”

The butler immediately appeared at the door, "Master, please command!" ”

Cui Yuan pointed at Zhang Xuan and said with a smile: "Take Zhang Gongzi to the West Courtyard and let Cui Xian talk to him!" ”

After Zhang Xuan was taken away, only Cui Yuan and Wang Ang were left in the room, "Xiangguo, what should I do about this?" It could be seen that Wang Ang was very nervous, and his speech became a little stammering.

"This matter? You mean that? Cui Yuan's thick index finger tapped the crumpled plain note on the desk, smiled coldly, he glanced at Wang Ang and said, "Then tell me, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Wang Ang immediately bowed and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, but I have also come up with a plan. ”

"Say!"

"This plan fell on that Zhang Huan, since Zhang and Wei want to use the matter of Ma'anling to make trouble, they must need that Zhang Huan to corroborate, I heard that he is going to participate in the imperial examination, then Xiangguo simply pushed back the Great Asahi for two days, just the same day as the imperial examination, so Zhang Huan can't come?"

Cui Yuan stroked his long beard and nodded, this is indeed a good way, if Zhang Huan gives up the imperial examination, it will inevitably disrupt Zhang Ruohao's plan to establish the heir of the head of the family, Zhang Ruohao can be described as a dilemma.

Cui Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I'll perfect your strategy again, you immediately notify your sister with a flying pigeon message, asking her to create an incident, and let Zhang Ruohao rush back to Taiyuan in front of the dynasty no matter what." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's up to you to deal with this matter!" ”
