Chapter 204: The Imperial Capital (3)

In fact, Zhang Cheng's back was cold when he had a secret conversation with Lord Shoufu before. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info For most ordinary people, the idea of eliminating the family consortium may be a good idea. But who is the Saga Foundation? How can their identities be determined? Who thought about their thoughts?

Just like Zhang Yue said, as the richest person on the surface of this planet, is he Zhang Cheng a member of the family consortium? What does it mean to let him rest in the imperial capital for a while? Want to take away his military power? Or are you ready to hang him in an idle position? For example, the deputy chief of the general staff of the army or something.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Once you've lost something, it's hard to get it back.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng felt like he couldn't cry or laugh. finally promoted to the rank of general, but I didn't expect that it might become a shackle that imprisons me, which is the real impermanence of the world.

What Zhang Cheng wants to know most now is why. Why do you always think of yourself as a right? Will the Shousuke-sama, whom the successor sees, suddenly make such a subversive change? If it is said that there is another successor to the right, Zhang Cheng does not believe it. It's not as simple as going to a restaurant to eat, who doesn't have a large group behind them? It's already been decided, how can things change suddenly? It wasn't just Zhang Cheng who overturned Lord Shousuke's pole, but the entire group behind him.

In government affairs, from the imperial capital to the localities, to the colonies everywhere, the officials who boarded Zhang Cheng's warship. The officers in the army, large and small, who followed Zhang Cheng and the army they controlled. There are also employees of Zhang Cheng's various company factories and various partners. Including those who provide parts and components for Zhang Cheng's arms company, even if they are only responsible for transportation, they are all vested interests in the same line. Not to mention those people who Zhang Cheng wantonly threw money to win over.

What is the reason for Shousuke-sama to take the risk of turning his face with Zhang Cheng? At this point, Zhang Cheng is really puzzled, and the best person who can solve his doubts is naturally Wang Yan, the intelligence leader under Zhang Cheng.

"The commander of the imperial capital garrison is in some trouble there." There was still a cold air on his body, and Wang Yan, who had just sat down on the sofa, hurriedly threw out an important piece of information without taking a sip of hot tea. Wang Yan, who returned in a hurry from the suburbs, did not meet Xiao Hongbao, who was looking for him, he came to Zhang Cheng by himself.

Zhang Cheng's hand took out the cigarette slightly, then took out the cigarette and the lighter and lit it, squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What do you say?" ”

"I was going to pick you up in the afternoon." Wang Yan took the lighter and cigarette on the desk and lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and then said, "However, the commander of the imperial capital garrison called me over, saying that the matter agreed with before should not be mentioned for the time being. ”

"Someone pressured him?" Zhang Cheng was not panicked at all at the moment, his eyes were sharp, and he leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs and asked in a deep voice.

"The pressure from above." Wang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After contacting the other party for so long, the benefits have been accepted, and the most basic transaction is still there. The other party bluntly told him that this was an instruction from the top.

There was silence in the living room. Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and smoked a cigarette with a cold expression. Wang Yan leaned forward, his elbows propped on his legs, and he looked indifferently at the steaming glass in front of him.

After a while, Zhang Cheng snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and asked aloud, "Do you know why?" ”

"The exact reason is not clear." Wang Yan thought for a moment and responded, "However, news has recently spread that Lord Shoufu's physical condition is not very good. Moreover, a few days ago, the people of the Zhang family in Songjiang Mansion entered the imperial capital to visit Lord Shoufu. ”

"Zhang's family?" Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Yan with a strange expression. Although Lord Shoufu said that he was born in the Zhang family of Songjiang Mansion, the two sides had already broken off their friendship, what else did they have to say?

"It's possible that you told Shoufu-sama about killing Zhang Yao. This time it is the current head of the Zhang family, the one who cooperated with you before to attack Zhang Yao. Wang Yan's words made Zhang Cheng frown, "Impossible." Even if you have a bad heart, it is impossible to turn your face for this kind of thing. There must be other main reasons. Let's talk about the Zhang family, the Zhang family ......"

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't the Zhang family already in decline?" Why did it pop up again? They alone don't have the guts to oppose me. There must be someone else behind who is pushing the hand. ”

"I don't know about this yet. But there's one more thing to tell you. Wang Yan looked at Zhang Cheng with a strange expression, "There is a guy named Xu Ziming, who is the heir of the contemporary Wei Guogong, and has been the division commander of the 11th Armored Division under you before. He returned to the imperial capital a few days ago, and has been pursuing his younger siblings recently. ”

"Huh." Zhang Cheng's eyes instantly sharpened. Wang Yan, who was bright and pierced with a cold gaze, was a little frightened, and hurriedly spoke, "I only learned about this matter recently. This guy is too bold. I was about to report to you when the current thing happened. ”

"Interesting." Zhang Cheng slowly lowered his eyelids and whispered to himself, "Shoufu, the Zhang family, unknown behind-the-scenes forces, Xu Ziming, and the young emperor." They all came together, and things got more and more interesting. ”

Zhang Cheng felt that an invisible giant net had unfolded and rushed towards him, and the intricacies of the matter were completely beyond his imagination. It's good to rush back once, otherwise there won't even be a chance to fight back when the time comes.

"It's not that simple." After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Wang Yan, "Use all your strength to check on me, I want to know what the reason for Shousuke's sudden turn of face is." ”

"Yes."

......

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Early the next morning, Zhang Cheng took Xu Xuan to the palace to have breakfast with the young emperor.

Although the royal family has declined, the majesty of the centuries has never diminished. There are perfect rules for the time of dining, what kind of dishes are served, the location, and various etiquette.

As the Ming Dynasty extended its tentacles to the world, the new civilizations brought a violent impact to the ancient Ming Dynasty, and many of the original habits and rules were unconsciously changed.

Originally, when the emperor gave a banquet, the female dependents must not be able to go to the main table, and the dining table was also separated. Also, there is basically no breakfast. However, all this has been constantly changed with the fierce clash and fusion of various forms of civilization, coupled with the decline of the royal family. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Cheng had breakfast with the emperor and empress at a long table in imitation of Western style.

Seeing the empress holding Xu Xuan's hand and walking towards the apse with a smile, the young emperor narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.

The palace people who were waiting on the side bent down one after another, looked at the ground and slowly withdrew from the side hall, and then the door of the hall was closed. Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was meat. The drama is coming.

"Zhang Yue wants to deal with you." The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and came up directly to the fierce material, but he didn't see any panic on Zhang Cheng's body. After a pause, probably feeling that Zhang Cheng didn't believe it, he then lowered his voice mysteriously, "Do you know why?" ”

Zhang Cheng's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he said softly, "Why?" ”

The Emperor smiled and leaned back on the rosewood chair, and took a sip of the water glass beside him. After putting down the water glass, he looked at Zhang Cheng with a leisurely expression, "Whether you are doing business or fighting, you are a talent that is rare in a century." But when it comes to manipulation, you're far from it. ”

Zhang Cheng took out his cigarette expressionlessly, and the emperor nodded slightly before taking out a lighter and lighting it. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the Emperor and waited for his next words.

"You're going too far." The Emperor suddenly changed his tone and moved on to something else: "You started too fast, too fast. But there is no foundation, and there is no power in the wife's family. In just a few years, an incredibly large business empire has been built. Such a rich net worth, such an eye-catching booming industry. Do you think those money-hungry guys will be invisible? Is it possible? ”

Zhang Cheng was silent, his eyes fluctuating slightly and looking at the emperor. The emperor's words just now made a flash of light flash in his mind, and the driving force behind everything behind these things is the family consortium!

"No one wants to share power with others." The emperor's expression gradually became a little excited, "Shousuke has been in power for decades, and the family consortium that he has suppressed for many years will allow a figure as strong as Shousuke to appear on the stage, continue this situation?" Is it possible? What's more, this heir is still so rich, it is simply a big piece of fat that makes everyone's eyes extremely red. You'll attract countless people to pounce on and bite. ”

It was a time of war, and the wealth in Zhang Cheng's hands, whether it was a variety of patents or numerous companies and factories, each of which was a huge source of wealth for the daily progress. For the family consortium that makes a living from monopoly, Zhang Cheng, a figure who has no background but rises rapidly, is the biggest enemy.

Destroy, divide, annex. This is the most skillful method of the Maison consortium. In the history of modern time and space, the DuPont family of the United States of America can blow up the factories of competitors for the sake of industry monopoly, and the Ming family consortium in this time and space can also do this kind of thing.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng entering the army and quickly rising to become an important member of the army, plus with the attention and protection of Lord Shoufu. All kinds of black hands have already reached out, where is the possibility of him occupying the majority of the head and developing rapidly?

With a wealth of this magnitude owned by Zhang Cheng, there will inevitably be countless people who want to reach out. Zhang Cheng's miraculous rise has a lot to do with the fact that he was in a serious economic crisis and Shousuke's strong suppression of the family consortium.

Zhang Cheng lowered his gaze slightly, and the corners of his mouth were curled to laugh out loud. I thought so much about it last night, but I forgot that the most fundamental conflict of interest is the real reason.

There is money, power, and soldiers. In addition, he has a strong personality and a tough style. Zhang Cheng made it clear that he was an existence that was even more difficult to deal with than Lord Shoufu. While the family consortium is jealous of everything he has, it will not let him become the next Zhang Yue no matter what.

Now what Zhang Cheng is wondering about is how Lord Shoufu, who has always taken a tough stance, was moved? It's really weird. It is impossible for Zhang Mo to do this alone. (To be continued.) )
