Seeing that it was a slave, the maids and guards in the inner courtyard knelt down in unison, their foreheads pressed tightly against the bluestone paved ground, and they did not dare to raise their heads at all, as if they were ashamed of themselves, and as if a peeping glance would tarnish the pride of a high-grade lady.

Now is the era of "no poor family in the upper grade, no scholar in the lower grade", and bloodline and origin determine everything about people. The pride of the princely general Xiangning had already disappeared as early as when Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, adopted the advice of his minister, Shangshu Chen Qun.

The nine-grade zhongzheng system is to select the central officials who are "virtuous and knowledgeable" to concurrently serve as the large and small central officials of the state, county, and county of origin, and are responsible for inspecting the scholars scattered in the state, county, and county, and comprehensively determining the "quality" and "form" of the department for the reference of the officials in the selection of officials. The so-called "product" is the grade assessed by the comprehensive scholars' virtue and ability, and the family (family lineage and official position), which is divided into nine grades: upper, upper, upper, middle, lower, but the categories are only upper, middle and lower (the second to third grades are the upper grades; A product is a fictitious and no one can reach it; The fourth to fifth grades are medium grades; Six to nine products are the next grades) three categories. In the moral ability and the door, the product is generally based on the latter, which is called "capital calculation".

At first, the standard of evaluating characters in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was still equal to family background, morality, and talent, but later, the gate valve family completely controlled the right to select. As a result, talent and virtue were gradually not valued, but family background became the only standard. Even today, the Jin dynasty has moved south and the north has been lost, but the influence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is still very deep. As a member of the high-grade wealthy family, the identity gap between the Zhang family and the slaves and maids and tribes is even farther away than the sun and the moon.

Nian Nu didn't care about them, but when his eyes fell on Cai Yan, he paused slightly, and then asked his younger brother with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Jun, the sentence you just chanted must have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

Zhang Jun's face couldn't help but turn red, he didn't expect that he would inadvertently do a copying of the text, and he happened to scratch the itch of the sister who was obsessed with books, and said a little shyly: "The younger brother just got this sentence occasionally, if this is the case, if the younger brother has the following in the future, then let the sister know, okay?" ”

Nian Nu rose up to take a small bite of cherries, his delicate face could not hide his disappointment, and inadvertently revealed the coquettishness of his little daughter, and said, "Okay then······"

However, she quickly solemnly returned to her original noble appearance, and said with the posture of a big sister: "If Brother comes up with the following, you must tell me!" ”

Zhang Jun didn't dare to disobey, so he naturally said yes again and again.

Nian Nu smiled happily, waved his hand to disperse Cai Yan and the others, stretched out his white jade flawless hand, pulled Zhang Jun to kneel on the soft seat, and broke up his messy bun and combed it little by little.

Zhang Jun is fourteen years old, and he and his sister should have had a male and female defense. But for some reason, his uncle Zhang Mao has never intentionally separated Nian Nu and Zhang Jun, and he doesn't seem to care that the two have always been so close. Therefore, there is no estrangement between the siblings of this young boy and girl, and the relationship has always been very good. However, Zhang Jun is no longer the original Zhang Jun, and it is inevitable that he will still be a little embarrassed when he sees Nian Nu so close to him, but he just twisted his body unconsciously, but he was suddenly corrected by his sister behind him, which made him helpless.

Niannu's combing of her hair is very light, she combs her father's hair, and then she gives this stubborn brother. She still remembers the first time she combed her brother's hair when she was a child, because she had no experience, she cracked her brother's painful teeth, but she didn't say anything, just smirked.

On the other hand, Zhang Jun also felt the warmth given to him by the people around him for the first time since he crossed over, and he began to believe that even if he told his sister his secret, his sister would not alienate him, because Zhang Jun fused his memory, he was him!

However, in the turbulent times of the autumn of critical survival, people are like mustard, and their lives are as cheap as pigs and dogs, even if they are themselves, they cannot be an exception. Once the country is destroyed, what should my sister do? Zhang Jun's heart couldn't help but tighten, the idea of just trying to be comfortable and happy after crossing made him a little embarrassed, people often say that since ancient times, how thin life is, if you don't want your sister to be hurt a little, you have to eat and wait for death.

Zhang Jun looked back at the beautiful girl who was combing her hair, and couldn't hold back the pity in her heart anymore, so she gently held her flawless soft twinkle, and said softly: "Sister, Jun must protect you." ”

Nian Nu was unaware of the changes in his younger brother, slapped it with a smile, knocked his brother's hand off, and quipped: "Wait for Brother Jun to add the crown, and then come to protect my sister, now don't move, your hair is knotted, you have to comb it carefully." ”

Zhang Jun followed closely and said: "With me here, my sister will only be responsible for Meimeida in the future." ”

Nian Nu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "My Zhang family's Qianli Ju is not a doll who hides in the house and doesn't dare to go out after being reprimanded. ”

"I don't dare to go out, I'm just ······ I just ······"

"It's just trapped in the gentle township, can't you extricate yourself?"

Nian Nu's voice suddenly raised a little, and he said angrily.

Zhang Jun panicked in his heart, it seemed that the existence of Caiyan still caused his sister's unhappiness, and the memory of respecting and fearing his sister came out, and he couldn't help but say: "Sister, don't be angry, Caiyan is just a maid sent by her uncle, and her life experience is also very miserable······"

Sure enough, Nian Nu's face softened when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but teach: "According to your temperament, even if you don't go out of the house for ten days, who will really believe that you are repentant, and your father, you don't go to ask for sin, you really feel that you have been reprimanded by him, and this matter has been overturned?" ”

It seems that he really didn't say the wrong thing, Zhang Jun secretly thought, with the kindness of Nian Nu, as long as he said that Cai Yan had a pitiful background, his sister would definitely sympathize with him. Busy then explained: "I will go to my uncle tomorrow to say goodbye and admit my mistakes." ”

Seeing that he still had a squishy face, Nian Nu was really angry, poked his younger brother's head with a green onion finger and said: "The man of the Zhang family, since the ancestors, he has been known for his bravery, you are lazy, be careful of the bow and horse, and fall into the glory of the ancestors!" ”

Being looked down upon by a woman, as long as it is a man, it is unbearable, even if the woman is still a girl.

A wave of pride suddenly filled his chest, Zhang Jun straightened his waist, looked at Nian Nu seriously, and said: "I am a descendant of Ji's surname Shaohao, a descendant of the Zhang family." I hereby swear that in this life, I will definitely want to Jin Ge Iron Horse, sweep away the heroes, enter the Kuang Fu Jin room, and return to the old capital; If you retreat, you will stand in the west and shepherd one side. The most important thing is ······" After a pause, he smiled shyly, and then said, "The most important thing is to protect my sister." ”

Nian Nu turned his anger into a smile, coiled his younger brother's green silk into a strict bun, and said: "Brother Jun can be a writer at the age of ten and make a splendid article. Later, he learned to bow and horse with the generals in the army, and his magic shot was unparalleled. Who doesn't know about this big cold, who doesn't know? It's just that you're a lazy person, and you always annoy your father. If you want to make a difference, it's not like you don't have a chance. Tomorrow, my father will hold an autumn festival to entertain the Jin envoys. ”

"Tomorrow is autumn?" Zhang Jun's eyes lit up and said, "Sister, can you talk to Jun in detail?" ”

"Father will accompany the Jin envoy to hold the autumn ceremony tomorrow in the Weiyuan outside the city, and he quarreled with your uncle for this."

Zhang Jun's uncle is Jia Ji. He is the only younger brother of Zhang Jun's mother, and naturally he is also Zhang Jun's own uncle.

Since the ancestor Zhang Liang ruled Liangzhou and dominated the western territory, the Zhang family has constantly married with the local wealthy surnames in order to obtain the support of the indigenous gate lords and stabilize the regime. Therefore, the union of Zhang Jun's parents is also the result of a political marriage. Now that Zhang Yu was killed, his mother also passed away, as the first surname in the West to be the family of Jia Ji, as a relative of the army, by the name of General Jianwei, the power of the government and the opposition.

In addition, Jia G cultivated party henchmen, and there were nearly 1,000 guests and dead people in the house; He also collected land and built the courtyard wall of his mansion two zhang high and one zhang wide, as if it had become an independent kingdom in the national capital.

Since the Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the power of foreign relatives is very large, which has a lot to do with the unstable foundation of the ruler, and as a result, they have to rely on the power of the wife family, and carefully maintain the balance between the two, if once the balance is broken, then countless historical facts since the Eastern Han Dynasty have shown that the death of the country is not far away!

The current Liang Zhangmao has always been a person who is "humble and studious, not snobbish", although he is always in Liangzhou, he is still a scholar in his bones. Jia Mo is his brother's brother-in-law, so naturally he is a family with him. Although Jia Mo has become more and more domineering in recent years, Zhang Mao still gives three points to him.

So it's hard for Zhang Jun to imagine how big a disagreement it would be if there was a quarrel between his uncle and uncle, who had always been gentle!

"The Jin envoy represents the imperial court, and it doesn't seem to be inappropriate with his autumn fate, right?"

Nian Nu casually pulled the hair scattered in front of his temples behind his ears, and sighed softly: "Brother should know that my uncle has always advocated being close to the Han Kingdom. The month before, a Han envoy came to submit an edict to reiterate the intention of friendship. Now that the Han envoy has not gone, his father has entertained the Jin envoy with great fanfare, and the Han Kingdom will inevitably get the news, so how can he give up with us? ”

"Hmph, Liu Yao of the Han Kingdom, it's just a beard, arrogant to the big position, Mu Monkey and crown, what qualifications do you have to give me Da Liang to submit an edict!"

Zhang Jun was not angry at first, and then asked: "By the way, it has been five years since the Jin envoy came to Guzang, and my uncle has always been ignored, why is this important again?" ”

Niannu shook his head and said, "Father naturally has his own considerations, and I don't know ······ very well."

She frowned slightly and said, "Uncle's meaning, everything is as usual, why do you have to do this." Now that the Jin family has been destroyed in the Han Kingdom, the new dynasty is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the relationship is intimate, but our roots are still in Liangzhou, if we annoy the Han Kingdom, what can the Jin people do? ”

Zhang Jun nodded, and said in his heart: This quarrel is by no means accidental, it should be the result of the confrontation between two interest groups.

If a political regime has a main fighting faction, it will inevitably have a main peace faction. In fact, there is no difference between the two, and it is not that the main battle is loyalty, and the main peace is treachery, and everything must be treated from the perspective of the two and the interests they represent.

The Jia family is the largest family in the western region, and it has been operating here for generations, which can be said to be deeply rooted. Therefore, Jia G will inevitably consider Liangguo's foreign policy from the interests of his family.

Although the Han State experienced a serious split, which greatly damaged its national strength, and became two hostile countries of Liu Han and Shi Zhao, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was still not something that the current Liang State could compete with. What's more, the Han State successively destroyed the Jin Dynasty and conquered the north, with millions of armor soldiers, and was still a well-deserved overlord of the north. The Liang Kingdom has a bad relationship with it, once the country is destroyed, it will inevitably implicate the Jia family to bury the Zhang family, how can it be worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family?

Of course, there must be many people who think the same way as Jia Mao, so he is equivalent to the representative of the local wealthy forces in Liangzhou, and there is the support of many powerful families behind him!

On the other hand, the Zhang family, who was in charge of Liangzhou, was originally from the Anding Wu clan, and since the early years of Yongning (301), the ancestor Zhang Liang was appointed as the captain of Huqiang and the history of Liangzhou, it has only gone through two generations and three masters. Therefore, the Zhang family represents more of the interests of immigrants. Even if he usually has to rely on the indigenous heroes led by the Jia family, he does not dare to forget the word balance, and he will use the power of the gate lord in the immigrants to contain the natives.

It was precisely because of the abstinence and abuse of Liu Han that the gate valve among these immigrants took refuge in Liangzhou, and he was afraid that he hated Liu Han to the core. Their hearts are towards the Southern Dynasty, and the Zhang family is the Liangzhou pastor appointed by the Jin Dynasty, which is the main reason why they support the Zhang family.

This incident should have been caused by the growing strength of indigenous forces. The balance is about to be broken, and his uncle Zhang Mao has to stand on the side of immigrants, but the result is still at a disadvantage, otherwise he would not have raised the chess piece of the envoy and looked for foreign aid······

After analyzing it in my head, things have become clear. In order to suppress the indigenous powerful forces led by Jia Mao, Zhang Mao had to declare his pro-Jin attitude to the outside world in a high-profile manner, which not only consolidated the alliance between the Zhang family and the foreign immigrants, but also brought the indigenous heroes into his chariot! At the same time, this also means a complete break with Liu Han, a strong neighbor in the east!

It is the mountain rain that is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

Looking at the carefree girl beside him, Zhang Jun made a decision, he wanted to change his lazy temperament and participate in the winter hunt. Strive to make my uncle look at him differently, give him the opportunity to train, take charge of the army as soon as possible, change history, and let everything in front of him not be harmed!

Zhang Jun immediately said to Nian Nu: "Sister, Jun is also going to participate in the Winter Festival!" ”

"But my father didn't order you to go." Niannu looked at his younger brother, who was much taller than him, and said worriedly.

"Hey, hey." Zhang Jun smiled: "Father must still be annoyed with me, did he say that he didn't allow me to go?" ”

Niannu shook his head coquettishly: "It's not ······."

She quickly understood that when her father told her the news of Qiu Zheng, he must have guessed that she would definitely tell her brother. Father is testing Brother Jun to see if he has a heart to work hard.

Thinking of this, Nian Nu's eyes immediately lit up, and said: "Brother Jun is the young general of Liangguo, and there is nothing wrong with going, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't make your father angry again!" ”

Zhang Jun said yes again and again, as soon as he thought that he would have autumn tomorrow, he couldn't help it anymore and wanted to check his armament.

Seeing his younger brother's anxious appearance, Niannu felt funny and relieved. After all, Zhang Jun's transformation also made her feel a lot more at ease! took the initiative to say goodbye to his younger brother and let Zhang Jun leave.
