So, how did Chen Tang get out of prison and take on such an important position as the deputy captain of the Western Regions Protectorate?
Zhang Fang was just about to ask, but Chen Tang changed his words and returned to the jade: "The prince has passed on this jade, and he must have already understood the origin of this jade. ”
How do I know, just wait for you...... Zhang Fang nodded with a smile and a clear expression.
Chen Tang had fallen into reminiscence, just asked casually, and he couldn't even imagine that Zhang Fang, the inheritor of Baoyu, was not as well known as him, an outsider, about the origin of jade.
"At the beginning of the meeting between Tang and Xingding, I was surprised to see that the dignified Fuping Marquis actually wore an ordinary jade with him. Xingding Gongyin said with a smile that this jade was left by Gaozu. When Zhang's ancestor died, he left only 500 gold behind him, and only one piece of jade was obtained, which was this thing. Although the son of the prince is in the high position of the third prince and has countless beautiful jades, he only wears this jade, which means to remember the ancestors and introspect himself. Since then, the successive heads of the Zhang family have worn this jade and used the jade decoration as the family crest. ”
It turned out that this piece of jade was actually the ancestor of the Zhang family, and it was a relic of Zhang Tang, one of the three princes of the Wu Dynasty. After Zhang Tang was falsely accused of suicide, his entire family property was no more than 500 gold, and the most valuable was this piece of jade. Zhang Anshi, the son of Zhang Tang, the founder of Zhang's Zhongxing, and the first generation of Fuping Marquis, in order to remember the ancestors and always be vigilant, set this jade as a family heirloom, and only the head of the family can wear it. Perhaps because Zhang Fang was too favored, the contemporary Fuping Marquis Zhang Lin was not dead, and Baoyu was passed on to his son Zhang Fang.
Zhang Fang finally understood why a piece of jade, which was not a treasure, would appear on a future marquis, and it could also be used as a token of self-identification, which turned out to be a family heirloom "treasure" - for the Fuping Zhang family, this is a truly priceless treasure.
Zhang Fang was overwhelmed, and the Zhang family suffered humiliation because of Chen Tang, and even sat down to cut Juelu, most of them hated Chen Tang to death, and cut off contact. But he didn't expect that it was precisely because of this grudge that Chen Tang had the fate to know Baoyu, and ten years later, he saved the descendants of the Zhang family. It's really a drink and a peck, and the result is unpleasant.
"Tang Zhi's background is not as good as the ancestor of the Zhang family. When he was young, his family was poor, and he lived by borrowing, and after completing his studies, he entered Beijing to travel to the eunuch and earn a bucket of food officials. Later, Meng Xingding looked up to the public, recommended Maocai, and encountered great changes again and again, and was imprisoned. Fortunately, thanks to the amnesty and the support of close friends, I was able to get here. ”
Chen Tang is not a person who easily pours his past experiences to his first acquaintance, perhaps after seeing the old people, his mood is agitated; Perhaps it was because Zhang Fang's spirit was contagious, and he was unconsciously affected. However, there are some secrets in my heart that I will never confide in others. For example, why did he not go to his father's funeral, so that he caused an uproar, which not only put himself in prison, but also affected his benefactor.
However, Chen Tang didn't say it, Zhang Fang could guess a few points from his self-description. If you put on a hard father and carry a son who is not soft, the contradictions will intensify, and become deeper and deeper, and it may be difficult to resolve for half a lifetime......
This situation has been encountered too much in Zhang Fang's career in his previous life, so much so that he can see the subtleties, and after listening to the beginning, he can guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.
Chen Tang felt a little general, his eyes stayed on the jade jue in Zhang Fang's hand, and sighed leisurely: "Tang, I also want to get such a piece of jade in the Western Regions and leave it to future generations." ”
This is something to say, Zhang Fang's eyes slowly lit up, and it really deserved to be Chen Tang. People must first have ambition before they can do things; How much ambition you have, how much you can do. Chen Tang's words are implicitly expressing that he wants to take Zhang Tang as an example, and is determined to make a career, win the title of marquis, and have an exclusive family crest that will be passed on to future generations.
"Chen Gong has this ambition, and he will definitely be able to make his wishes come true." Zhang Fang smiled implicitly.
Somehow, looking at Zhang Fang's smile, Chen Tang felt a little mysterious.
I wondered, how could I feel like this? After saying goodbye and going out, Chen Tang thought for a while, didn't know the essentials, couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and went straight away.
……
Zhang Fang's body had just recovered, and despite everyone's dissuasion, he decided to preside over the memorial ceremony for the war dead in the Battle of Donggeng Fengsui.
In this battle, there were a total of eighteen people before the war, and only twelve people remained after the war: Zhang Fang, Li Ren, Lin Tianci, Chu Liu, Qingyan, Lu Nu, Qu Liang, Han Jun, Han Chong, Zongba, Alimu, plus a lucky guard. However, those who survived also paid a great price. Except for the two girls, all of them were injured, and there were several who were seriously injured and unconscious like Zhang Fang, and many of them were disabled.
Zhang Fang's situation is special, he is just mentally exhausted, and his body is only slightly injured. Li Ren, who has also been in a coma for several days, according to the attending medical worker, has suffered a heavy blow to his internal organs, and even if he can survive, he will not be able to recover to his former state, and his life expectancy will be reduced, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to die old.
The rest were as if Zongba was blind in one eye, Lin Tianci had two fingers broken, Han was seriously injured in his internal organs, and the only surviving guard had an arm cut off...... Almost everyone has paid a heavy price.
The bodies of the six guards who died in the battle were recovered, cremated, and packed in six sandalwood boxes, ready to be sent back to the Fuping Marquis Mansion in the future.
On the day of worship, it rained lightly on the Jiaohe River, which had been sunny for a long time, as if the heavens were infected with that emotion.
Except for Li Ren, who was seriously injured and difficult to recover, the rest of the survivors were present to see off their comrades-in-arms who were fighting side by side.
Chen Tang was originally going to attend, but he had urgent military affairs temporarily, so he could only send the accompanying Metropolitan Protector to attend instead.
Zhang Fang can understand this, Chen Tang's attendance is nothing more than because he has an old friendship with him, and it is reasonable not to come if there is something to do.
Lin Tianci's news seems to be more well-informed: "Chen Jun has not arrived, most likely to welcome Captain Guo's triumphant army." ”
Zhang Fangjian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes narrowed: "Guo Xi is back?" I don't know if I caught Morton. ”
"I advise you not to get your hopes up too much." Lin Tianci shook his head, "The Han army attacked in a hurry, and before it summoned the city-states of all countries to help, the men and horses did not have an advantage, it would be good to be able to expel the Huns, and it was better not to think about the rest." ”
Looking at the six spirit tablets on the altar, Zhang Fang smiled unsmilingly: "It's okay, if Guo Xi can't do it, let's continue to do it." ”
Lin Tianci took a deep look at this fan-like young man, and said sincerely: "I believe that the prince once said, 'The enemy who is angry will not let anyone go, and the enemy who is afraid will kneel and beg us to let go' - you did it." ”
