Cui Wenxiang just mentioned it casually, and his father didn't pay attention to this matter at that time, so he didn't go into depth.

"Back to my father, it was Zhang Xuan's recommendation, it is said that he holds the military and political power of Beihai County, and he can recommend Qingming."

Cui Wenxiang didn't understand a little, why did his father suddenly ask about this?

Cui Zhao groaned and said: "A strange thing happened today, Pei Yun's grandson came to me and said that there was a message from my grandfather, hoping that I would stop the marriage between Zhang Xuan and the Lu family, I really don't understand. ”

Cui Wenxiang didn't think so deeply, he was secretly happy in his heart, if he couldn't marry Lu Qing, he would never want Zhang Xuan to marry, he hurriedly asked cautiously: "What does my father think is strange?" ”

Cui Zhao snorted, haven't you thought of it yet? Pei Yun is not in Luoyang at all, what message can he preach? This must be Pei Ju through Pei Yun's mouth.

"Father, the child has heard of one thing, it seems that Pei Yun intends to marry his granddaughter to Zhang Xuan, but then it is gone, maybe he still has this idea, so he doesn't want Zhang Xuan to marry his cousin."

"Who are you listening to?" Cui Zhao asked urgently, he didn't even know about it at all.

"This matter was learned by the child from Wang Li's mouth, he and several sons of the Pei family are very friendly, and he leaked it to the child, not long ago, when we happened to talk about Zhang Xuan's suppression of bandits in Langya County."

Cui Zhao understood a little, it must be the Pei family who wanted to recruit Zhang Xuan as his son-in-law, but Zhang Xuan seemed to want to marry Lu Zhuo's daughter, so the Pei family was annoyed and hoped that he would come forward to sabotage the marriage.

Although Cui Zhao resolutely opposed this marriage because of face problems, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Of course, if the Pei family asks for help, they can also consider it, but what can they get? In addition, what can I do to oppose this marriage? Use the relationship between Cui Lu and the two families to exert pressure. Even if he can suppress Lu Zhuo, he may not be able to suppress the old master Lu Shen, that old man is more shrewd than anyone else, Cui Zhao was silent for a while.

As the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father, in fact, this sentence can also be said in reverse. is called Zhifu Mo Ruozi, Cui Wenxiang knows his father very well, and he guessed his father's thoughts.

It was also Cui Wenxiang who wanted to sabotage this marriage, and he was in a hurry, so he immediately thought of the key point, and reminded his father in a low voice: "If my father wants to oppose this marriage, it is better to make a fuss from my aunt's side." ”

A sentence reminded Cui Zhao, how did he forget his sister, she is Lu Qing's mother! She could have objected to the marriage. Once the opposition is successful, you can also get a favor from the Pei family.

Thinking of this, he immediately spread out a piece of paper, and he was going to write a letter to his sister to make this matter clear.

"You go to see your aunt tomorrow for your father, send her some of her favorite Yuhang lotus seeds, and then send a letter for your father by the way."

"The child obeys!"

．．．．．．

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xuan was practicing swords in the courtyard. A personal soldier hurriedly walked over and reported at the gate of the courtyard: "General Qiyu." There was a young man outside looking for him, saying that he was a friend of the general. ”

Zhang Xuan put away his sword and asked with a smile, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"He said his surname was Su, and he went to the heroes' meeting with the general."

Zhang Xuan was immediately overjoyed, this was Su Dingfang coming to find him, and he hurriedly handed over the sword to his own soldiers. Hurried out.

At the gate, Su Dingfang saluted Zhang Xuan with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered that after the hero meeting, he didn't know Su Dingfang's whereabouts. There are other people he doesn't know anything about, which makes him suddenly feel that his situation is far from enough, this is not good, what is happening in the capital, he should understand.

Zhang Xuan's distraction was only for a moment, he immediately came back to his senses, gently punched Su Dingfang's shoulder socket, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I've been in the capital for ten days, and you just came to see me!" ”

Su Dingfang scratched his head, "The younger brother has not been in the capital, he only came back yesterday, and I rushed over when I heard my grandfather say that you are here." ”

"I see, it seems that I am wrong to blame Brother Xian."

Jang Hyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house!" ”

Zhang Xuan invited Su Dingfang into the house, and asked the soldiers to bring a pot of iced herbal tea, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the innkeeper brought me a lot of ice, put it in the urn to chill the iced tea, come!" Drink a cup to relieve the heat. ”

Zhang Xuan poured a bowl of iced herbal tea for Su Dingfang, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that I live here?" ”

"It was my grandfather who told me my brother's address."

Su Dingfang took out another letter and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "This is a letter from my grandfather to my brother, please take a look at it." ”

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, how could Su Wei know that he lived here, his residence was only filed in the Ministry of War, could it be that Su Wei went to the Ministry of War to inquire?

He took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and was overjoyed, in the letter, Su Wei suggested that Sun Su Lie of his clan follow him to Jianghuai to suppress bandits, which is equivalent to adding a capable general to himself, how could he not be overjoyed.

"What is Brother Xian doing now?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

"I am now a thousand cattle prepared by His Royal Highness King Yue, although His Royal Highness King Yue is more important, and my brother also knows that this kind of guard actually has nothing to do every day, and when I hear your deeds of suppressing bandits, I can't wait to fly to Qingzhou with wings."

Zhang Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In the future, if you go to Jianghuai with me, there will be many opportunities to fight." ”

Su Dingfang's face turned red with excitement, "Last night my grandfather talked about letting me go to Jianghuai, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night, and I can't wait to set off tomorrow." ”

"We're not in a hurry."

Zhang Xuan smiled again and asked, "How are the others, I mean the other people of the Heroes Club, how are they now?" ”

"Actually, I don't know much, Li Xuanba is now a mighty general under the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is on patrol, he is before the dragon drives, and he is indeed very powerful."

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly, then why didn't he see Li Xuanba on the dragon boat?

"What about the others?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask.

"Wu Yunzhao followed the general Chen Ling to suppress bandits in the Longyou area, it is said that he has repeatedly made military exploits and has been promoted to the general of Xiongwu Lang, Wei Wentong is now following Yu Wenhua and, quite valued by Yu culture and attention, and also promoted to Xiongwu Lang general, Song Laosheng is in the Qu Tutong army, Shi Huaiyi still follows Zhang Jin, I don't know what military position he holds, but where Yuwen Chengdu is, I don't know."

"Yuwen Chengdu temporarily followed Yun Dingxing, and after Yujuluo was imprisoned, he was also transferred back to the capital, and I met him halfway to Beijing."

At this time, Su Dingfang laughed in a low voice: "I heard that the general is going to marry the daughter of the Lu family, is it true?" ”

"You know that?"

"I still heard from my grandfather that my grandfather is very willing to be your matchmaker, and if my brother is interested, my grandfather will invite you to have a light meal at noon."

Zhang Xuan understood a little, Su Wei let the grandson of the clan follow him, and he was enthusiastic about arranging his marriage, he was obviously entrapping himself, but Su Wei was an important figure in the Guan Longshi clan, and Zhang Xuan was also willing to associate with him and expand his handover.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan smiled happily: "Since this is the case, I will disturb your Su Mansion at night!" ”

At this moment, a personal soldier rushed to the scene and said nervously: "General, the holy decree has come. ”

In the past two days, the gossip in the court has almost been filled with Zhang Xuan's news, first of all, Zhang Xuan's debriefing yesterday went viral, and the top ten questions hit the nail on the head, and Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, almost asked directly, are you planning to support the army and rebel?

Even Li Yuan's dark debriefing was not so tense, the questions were not sharp, and the level was not so high, it was also a rare scene in the court for a middle-level tiger Benlang to be so excited.

What is even more puzzling is that all the court officials think that Zhang Xuan's entry into Beijing should be commended and rewarded, and he should be rewarded for his destruction of Langya County, but in fact, the court officials did not see the commendation and commendation of Zhang Xuan and his subordinates, but only severe interrogation, and everyone speculated whether Zhang Xuan had done something unknown and transgressed, which touched the scale of the Son of Heaven.

All kinds of signs show that it is difficult for Zhang Xuan to pass this hurdle, although there are many sympathizers for him and feel that the court's rewards and punishments are unfair, but more people gloat, thinking that Zhang Xuan is to blame, and it is not a good thing to even be promoted at a young age! There is a serious lack of political experience, no, retribution is coming.

'How can it be so easy to be an official, the sea is deep, and if you are not careful, you will capsize the boat, this Zhang Xuan young man is too rampant, he should be taught a lesson! ’

This is the feeling of many officials who have been unwilling for many years, and Zhang Xuan's repeated promotions in just one year really make them red-eyed, so if Zhang Xuan has a slight setback, they can't wait for Zhang Xuan to be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded, so as to relieve the fire of jealousy in their hearts.

But there are also many people who understand that Zhang Xuan's strict trial is not necessarily a bad thing, and Li Yuan was promoted to Taiyuan after being strictly interrogated, and to a certain extent, this kind of strict trial is often a harbinger of promotion.

This morning's other news that shook the government and the opposition completely proved this point, and the saint issued an official decree, appointing Zhang Xuan as the general of the Left Guard, Liyang Tongshou and the envoy of the six counties of Jianghuai, adding the title of Imperial Historian, and rewarding all the soldiers who participated in the battle to recover Langya County with 200,000 yuan, 10,000 taels of gold, and 50,000 horses of silk, and the 54 soldiers who made great contributions were all promoted to the first rank.

The government and the opposition are almost boiling, this is the youngest general who has been crowned when he ascended the throne today, only twenty-five years old, if General Hu Benlang is still only a middle-level general, it is not enough to attract attention, then once he is promoted to a general, it is a high-level general.

For a time, Zhang Xuan became the focus of attention of the entire imperial court, and people talked about it, probing his background in the background, looking for his career resume, and understanding the secret of his promotion.

Soon, this kind of discussion spread from the government and the opposition to the people, and the entire Luoyang City was talking about this young Jianghuai general, the most interesting of which was that he was not married yet, which made countless famous families moved. (To be continued.) )
