Zheng Weishan sat in the living room of the bamboo building, wearing a green shirt, and seemed to talk to Xu Shiji leisurely.

Why is Xu Shiji here to accompany him? The reason is very simple, Xue Wanche returned to Hedong, and Pei Xingyan was confined to his home by the old man. Fang Yanqian wantonly rectified the public security in Luoyang, and he should be honest and honest, and not provoke the limelight. Because Fang Yanqian is iron-faced and selfless, he belongs to the kind of master who does not recognize his six relatives. Some time ago, it was said that the prince of Qi was injured on the streets of Luoyang, and was ordered to be arrested by Fang Yanqian, and he was beaten with ten canes before being released home.

The prince of Qi, that is Yang Guang's grandson!

Fang Yanqian did not make mistakes, which made many people feel afraid.

Pei Xingyan and Xue Wanche are not in Zhuyuan, Yanqing has to study every day, so only Wang Zheng and Xu Shiji are left at home.

Wang was from a humble background, so naturally he was not qualified to come out to greet guests.

So the matter of receiving guests fell on Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji is also a humble character, but after all, he is from middle school, although he is a little worse than Zheng Weishan's background, but in terms of family background, he may not be much worse than Zheng Weishan.

It's just that he is a child after all, and many times he has to bring up the topic of Zheng Weishan so as not to be cold.

When Zheng Yanqing walked into the living room, Zheng Weishan hurriedly got up.

He could take a stand in front of Xu Shiji, and even take a stand with Zheng Yanqing a few months ago, but now, he had to be respectful. Without him, Yan Qing is not only a student of Changsun Sheng now, but also carries the title of a cloud cavalry captain.

With this title, Zheng Weishan didn't dare to hold it up.

"Childe is back!"

Zheng Weishan bowed his hand. He looked calm, not at all as anxious as Ma Sanbao had said. But from his gaze, Yan Qing still saw a little worried. So he smiled and waved his hand and invited Zheng Weishan to sit down. In any case, this Zheng Weishan has always been good to his ancestors and grandchildren, and from the very beginning, he has always maintained enough kindness.

With this, Yan Qing's sense of Zheng Weishan is very good.

"Sanbao, offer the Wuling tea that Brother Zhang sent me a few days ago."

Zheng Yanqing is young, so he doesn't drink much. Most of the time, he serves tea. However, at this time, it is not necessary to use the sencha method to entertain guests, because sencha takes too long, and it is more convenient to use tea brewing.

"Yanqing, it looks like you've been doing well lately."

Zheng Weishan sighed in his heart: The little house slave of the Zheng family back then has now grown to the extent that even he, a pure child of the Zheng family, dare not underestimate it, which is really amazing. At first, he just felt that Zheng Yanqing was not a thing in the pool. But I didn't expect that Yanqing would develop at such a speed. At the age of ten, he had already received the title of Cloud Captain.

Among the seven brothers of the Zheng family, no one can compare with Zheng Yanqing.

He felt fortunate that he had maintained a friendly enough relationship with Zheng Shi'an's ancestors and grandchildren. The pair of words written by Yan Qing is now priceless. The head of the second room of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Weishan's uncle, once wanted to buy the song "Qingming" from Zheng Weishan with 8,000 guan, but Zheng Weishan refused. Zheng Weishan now, as a son of a distant branch, has faintly obtained the right to speak in the second room. Among them, there is also the credit of Yanqing's poem.

Zheng Yanqing said with a smile: "Uncle is polite, but the little nephew is just going to pass, what is wrong and good to talk about?" ”

"Yanqing, even the general gave you a scholar, and the importance he attaches to you can be seen.

The eldest prince also wrote to praise him a few days ago, saying that you have greatly increased An Yuantang's face, and you are very happy in your words. ”

Ma Sanbao came up with tea, and Yanqing had one for each of them.

Then he exited the living room and stood under the porch with Shen Guang.

Zheng Yanqing said: "Uncle Zheng, is there any accident at home? ”

"This ......"

Zheng Weishan hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Yanqing, you are a disciple of An Yuantang, and I don't want to hide it from you."

After the death of the eldest lord, although the eldest prince took over An Yuantang, he has not been very calm. All the rooms in the family have been ready to move, and Zheng Shiji, the head of the seventh house, is the most active. However, after you won the cloud cavalry captain in the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Zheng Shiji was honest for a while. But just ten days ago, Zheng Shiji suddenly attacked at the clan meeting and tried to expel the eldest prince from An Yuantang and replace him. The patriarch seemed to be on his side, and even agreed to discuss in the ancestral temple of Qingming.

After the eldest prince realized it, he was powerless to stop it. Now there are frequent activities in the seventh room, and the contact with the clan elders in each room is probably ......"

Zheng Shiji?

Yan Qing was a little impressed.

However, Zheng Shiji did not live in Xingyang, but settled in Pengcheng.

The descendants of Zheng Xi, the ancestor of the seven houses, are divided into two branches. One stayed in Xingyang, and the other settled in Pengcheng. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a branch that settled in Pengcheng was prosperous. First, Zheng Yi was the Taishou of Pengcheng, and then Zheng Yi was the Eastern Pavilion of Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

There is also Zheng Zhongli, whose sister married Emperor Shenwu of Qi, and later became the governor of the tent...... In short, in the past 100 years, Qifang has indeed produced many talents. Whether it is a military general or a celebrity, they are all leaders. However, the era of the prosperity of the seven houses was also an extremely turbulent and chaotic time. After Zheng Zhongli was killed, the seventh room gradually declined. And from the earliest Shang Yong and martial arts, and transformed into poetry, not in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yanqing was a little strange.

Pengcheng Zheng clan is just a branch of Qifang.

As early as after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he turned to business, what qualifications did he have to challenge the status of An Yuantang?

The strangest thing is that Zheng Shanyuan of the scripture hall never participates in the battles between the rooms. This time, he stood up clearly to cheer for the seventh room, what is the reason?

"Uncle Zheng, what do you mean by that eldest son?"

"The eldest prince didn't say anything, I came this time, in fact, it was the meaning of the younger son."

"Hongyi?"

Zheng Yanqing and Xu Shiji glanced at each other, and then asked, "What does Hongyi mean?" ”

"He sent a letter for me to pass on to you."

Zheng Weishan said, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Yanqing's hand.

Opening the letter, Yan Qing glanced at it.

When Zheng Hongyi was in Luoyang, he began to copy Yanqing's goose body. The letter is written in regular script in Yan style, and Zheng Yanqing can recognize it at a glance, which is indeed Zheng Hongyi's handwriting. Hongyi's writing is still a little jerky, and the pen is quite immature.

Roughly speaking, Jung In-gi has been very irritable lately, and sometimes he can't sleep all night.

As the son of Jung In-ki, he can't break down his sorrows for his father...... So he wrote to Yan Qing, hoping that Yan Qing could give him an idea.

This is a letter asking for help, which should be Zheng Hongyi's own meaning.

If Zheng Renji instructed, many of the sentences and words in it would definitely have been scrutinized, instead of asking for advice like this.

Zheng Yanqing handed the letter to Xu Shiji, closed his eyes, and was silent in thought.

Perhaps, in Zheng Hongyi's heart, Zheng Yanqing, who can make up such a wonderful story as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, will definitely be able to come up with a good way. In fact, the impression that Yanqing left on Zheng Hongyi was almost omnipotent and omnipotent.

So when Zheng Hongyi was distressed, the first thing that came to mind was Yanqing.

Zheng Weishan sat aside and did not make a sound.

After Xu Shiji read the letter, he put it away and looked at Zheng Yanqing.

"Yanqing, do you have any good ideas?"

Zheng Yanqing smiled bitterly in his heart: What good way can I come up with this kind of thing?

He opened his eyes, "Uncle Zheng, is the situation very serious?" ”

"According to the words of the people from Xingyang, as well as the letters from the elders in my family, it seems to be a bit serious. The most important thing is that Qifang seems to have swallowed the Nanlai Zheng clan, so its strength has skyrocketed. Yanqing, you also know that after the eldest prince resigned from Cao Peng in Luoyang, An Yuantang no longer has any foundation in the court...... The Zheng family has been operating in Jiangnan for a long time and has a good foundation. Although it has no foundation in the DPRK, it has strong financial resources, and Qifang will naturally not be willing to be left behind with this help. ”

South to Zheng's?

Zheng Yanqing frowned and said secretly, I see!

During the two Jin dynasties, the Zheng clan was divided into two sects, the north and the south. One stayed in Xingyang, and the other moved to Jiangnan with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The ancestor of the Southern Ancestor Zheng is the third brother of the Northern Ancestor Zheng Ye.

However, after moving south, Nanzu only lasted for five generations. In the fifth generation, there was a Zheng Jingbin, a general of the Chu people's auxiliary state, and a doctor of Zhongsan, who was very powerful at that time. But during the confrontation between the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, the Southern Ancestor Zheng clan completely declined.

However, due to the operation in Jiangnan for more than 100 years, it has extremely abundant financial resources.

Now that the Great Sui has unified the world, especially after the opening of the Grand Canal, the circulation between the north and the south has increased, which has also made the Southern Ancestor Zheng have the idea of wanting to return to their ancestors and recognize their ancestors. After all, they can rely on the Xingyang Zheng family, which is always a big help.

The matter of the return of the Southern Ancestor to the Patriarch had already begun to operate when Zheng Dashi was alive.

At that time, Zheng Dashi was also very active in planning this matter, wanting to include the Nanzu branch into the banner of Anyuantang.

But then for various reasons, the matter was interrupted...... Unexpectedly, such a big pot of dishes actually fell into the hands of Qifang. No wonder Zheng Shanyuan changed his position and actively helped Qifang to enter Anyuan Hall. To put it bluntly, this is to create enough conditions for the Nanzu Zheng family.

"How is my grandfather?"

Zheng Yanqing suddenly changed his words and asked Zheng Weishan with a smile.

"Oh, the old man Shi'an is very good in Xingyang.

The eldest prince relied on him a lot, and also allocated a 300-hectare grange in the Valley of Hundred Flowers to the old man's name. ”

"Oh?"

Zheng Yanqing's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "The eldest prince really takes good care of my ancestors and grandchildren!" ”

"Yes, the eldest prince now has a lot of respect for the old man."

"Xingyang Workshop, how is it now?"

For Zheng Yanqing's clueless and seemingly whimsical question, Zheng Weishan also felt a little confused.

He didn't understand what this Xingyang iron smelting workshop had to do with Zheng Shi'an.

It's just that since Zheng Yanqing asked, he can't help but answer.

"It's not going to be good...... Since His Majesty switched to ordering weapons from the south, the situation in Xingyang has not been good.

The weapons made in the south are well-made, and the price is not high. It is said that His Majesty's new group of Xiaoguo, the weapons and armor used are all from the southern workshop. The eldest prince checked the accounts some time ago and found that since last year, the Xingyang Workshop has lost more than 70,000 yuan...... If it weren't for the support of other industries, this one Xingyang workshop alone would be enough to make the Anyuan Tang Treasury run out. ”

"Is it that serious?"

Zheng Yanqing pondered for a long time, then got up suddenly, "Ma Sanbao, you go to my library and bring a wooden box on the third floor of the north bookshelf from top to bottom." ”

Ma Sanbao answered outside and ran to the study building.

Zheng Yanqing smiled, "Is there any other reason besides coming to the Zheng clan from the south?" ”

"Well, there must be ...... reason"

Zheng Weishan thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Actually, you should have heard that the political views of Duke Guichang and the eldest lord have not been very consistent. In the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, when the prince was in dispute, the Duke of Guichang wanted to support that person, and the eldest lord was optimistic about His Majesty.

As a result, His Majesty won the victory, and the eldest prince was prosperous all the way after that.

When the first emperor died, the Duke of Guichang wanted to join forces with the King of Han, but the result was ...... The king of Han was defeated, and the Duke of Guichang was stripped of his title.

So all along, Guichang Gong has been hostile to our house. It's just that I didn't find the right excuse before, so much so that it was difficult to do it. Now that the eldest lord is gone, the eldest prince has taken over Anyuan Hall in vain, and Guichang Gong feels that the time is ripe. Coupled with the factor of coming to the Zheng family from the south...... Hehe, I think that behind this, it is not Guichang Gong who is fueling the troubles. ”

Guichang Gong is now the patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Zheng Yanqing doesn't know much about this Guichang Gong, but judging from his two mistakes in standing in line, it is estimated that he will not be able to set off too much turmoil. However, this time, he took advantage of the opportunity of Zheng Shiji in the seventh room to swallow the Zheng family from the south, and tried to drive the sixth room, that is, Zheng Renji's branch, out of An Yuantang, and the timing was very clever.

If Jung In-ki can't deal with it properly, it will be really dangerous.

For this time there is an action against the surname in the scripture hall, presumably the other rooms are also thinking about various benefits and harms.

At this time, Ma Sanbao took the wooden box and placed it in front of Zheng Yanqing.

Yan Qing opened the box and took out a stack of drawings from it, but his eyes did not stay on the drawings, but thought about other things.

"Uncle Zheng, what does Uncle Zu think about this?"

The uncle Zheng Yanqing said was Zheng Weishan's uncle and Zheng Daoxuan, the head of the second house.

Zheng Weishan shook his head, "My uncle didn't say anything, and he also told me in the letter to do things well. ”

Zheng Daoxuan is also an old fox!

What to do well, it is clear that you have to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then get the benefit of the fisherman.

Let Zheng Weishan do things well, I am afraid that he wants to make a move at the most critical time to seek the greatest benefits. It is best to use Zheng Weishan's hand to control Luoyang's industry in one fell swoop. Regardless of whether Zheng Renji can control An Yuantang in the end, the interests of Luoyang's side have been controlled by the second room. This old guy is going to cut off a large piece of meat in Luoyang.

Yan Qing raised his head and glanced at Zheng Weishan.

"Uncle Zheng, I need to think about this matter.

You know, I'm young and don't have much say in this kind of thing. It's just that I think that after the death of the eldest master, the voice of our Anyuan Hall in the clan association is getting smaller and smaller. If you can't make a voice in the clan meeting, I'm afraid it will be very sad in the future. ”

Zheng Weishan glanced at Zheng Yanqing puzzled, and didn't quite understand what Zheng Yanqing meant.

However, since Yan Qing said so, it obviously has the meaning of sending off guests. Even if Zheng Weishan is no longer sensible, this bit of eyesight is still valuable.

So he got up and arched his hand, "Then I'll take my leave first!" ”

"Uncle Zheng, please tell the eldest prince, especially my words, and please think twice."

"I'll tell the eldest prince."

Zheng Weishan said goodbye and left.

In the living room, only Xu Shiji and Zheng Yanqing were left.

"Yanqing, what you said just now, didn't you mean ...... Put Grandpa Zheng and push the clan elders' meeting? ”

Xu Shiji took Zheng Yanqing's hand and asked secretly.

Zheng Yanqing smiled, stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Shiji's neck, "I not only want my grandfather to enter the clan elders' association, but also plan a good future for you." ”
