Chapter XXXVII. The hustle and bustle of the capital (middle).

Compared with the polarization of the attitude of the readers when this story first appeared in Shanxian County, after this story appeared in the capital, because the atmosphere in the capital was much more open, and there was a preface written by Niu Yuxian himself, people's attitude towards it was much more tolerant. (Full-text novel reading, all in.1. (1. Learning Network)

At the same time, the unprecedented plots and ideas in this story have also caused a lot of sensation in the capital, and the most talked about in the capital during this time, except for the sensation of Zhang Yansheng getting the name of Xie Yuan, is the story of this story.

And with the popularity of this story, it also aroused Zhang Yansheng's curiosity, so he also sent someone to buy a copy, but after reading it, he liked it very much, these days, this story has become Zhang Yansheng's only leisure means.

Under Zhang Qian's years of training, Zhang Yansheng should not have been so lightly confused by foreign objects, but this story is an exception, aside from the twists and turns of the plot and light style, Zhang Yansheng has always longed for the protagonist in this story, in addition to exploring the immortal immortal life, free and unrestrained life.

And this kind of life, for Zhang Yansheng, is the most unlikely.

Zhang Yansheng has always believed that everyone has their own innate mission, and this mission has been doomed from the moment they are born.

For Zhang Yansheng, this is even more so.

Power, higher rights......

The moment he became a descendant of Zhang Qian, he was destined to be born to gain higher power.

Zhang Qian has read all over the history books, and has sighed more than once in recent years, from ancient times to the present, those who are courtiers, those who can be as powerful as him, and those who make enemies like him, often have only two ends, or rebel against the country and become the king, or die a good death. Afterwards, I regretted more than once that I was too young and vigorous in previous years, and I only thought about being a very human minister. But it is impossible to get Zhang Qian out of this whirlpool of power, it is not that Zhang Qian is greedy for power, but that there are some things, when you get it, it will appear, even if you want to lose it, you can't lose it.

For example, the current Zhang Qian, once he takes the initiative to give up the power in his hands, how will his former political enemies deal with him and the Zhang family? What about his many followers?

Therefore, although he knew that the power in his hands was already too great and that Cheng DΓΉ would be set on fire, Zhang Qian could not give up at all.

However, Tian Xian, the Taizu of Chu, was too powerful back then, although Zhang Qian had been running the government and the opposition for decades, he did not have the slightest military power in his hands, and even Wang Han, the privy envoy who was in charge of the military of the world, had to get the permission of the emperor of the Chu Dynasty if he wanted to mobilize the army.

Without soldiers in his hands, the road of rebelling against the country and becoming the king is destined to be unworkable, but Zhang Qian doesn't want the Zhang family to die well, so he can only firmly grasp the rights in his hands, and continue to seize more rights.

For Zhang Qian, the good news is that the current Emperor Chu Ling may be a literati with good literary talents, and he is also deeply studied in Taoism and alchemy, but he is really not a wise emperor. He only likes two things in his life, one is poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the other is alchemy and immortality. He was extremely tired of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and even often complacent that Zhang Qian could help him act as an agent for military affairs. Therefore, Zhang Qian's power is still very stable for the time being.

But the bad news is that Zhang Qian himself is now forty-four in his sixties, and Emperor Chu Ling is also over fifty years old, even if they are well maintained, the two of them will not live long. It is a common thing in the world that the trees fall and scatter, and people go to tea and cool, but once Zhang Qian dies or the new monarch ascends the throne, how should the Zhang family and Zhang Qian's many followers deal with themselves?

Therefore, Zhang Qian must cultivate a qualified heir in his lifetime, and transfer all the power in his hands to him completely, and continue to keep the Zhang family safe.

But Zhang Qian's sons, although their abilities and mentalities are good, are far inferior to Zhang Qian, or Zhang Qian's old opponents, so Zhang Qian can only focus on Zhang Yansheng.

And Zhang Yansheng has indeed not disappointed him over the years, his mind, his talent, and his achievements are even far beyond Zhang Qian when he was young, which makes Zhang Qian overjoyed, but also constantly puts the burden on him.

But only Zhang Yansheng himself knows how tired he is from living under such a fateful arrangement. To outsiders, he seems to be a collection of thousands of glories, but in fact, he can't even save his hobbies and life goals, and as for freedom, it is even more impossible.

From the moment he was born, Zhang Yansheng was destined to spend his life in a constant struggle for power.

For example, these days, is it really important for Zhang Yansheng to understand the name of the yuan? For Zhang Qian, these days are just a good opportunity to consolidate and strengthen his power in the DPRK and China, for those ministers who come to visit, it is a good time to curry favor with Zhang Qian, and for Zhang Yansheng, these days are not paving the way for him to step into officialdom in the future?

As for how much hard work Zhang Yansheng has done to obtain the name of Xie Yuan, how many times he has stayed up late and studied hard, and how many people really care?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a long time, Zhang Yansheng finally closed the book in his hand, let out a long sigh, and then immediately put away all kinds of emotions that should not appear in his heart, and his expression was always noble, elegant and reserved.

At this time, another voice suddenly came from the study.

"Third son, how can you read such idle books? This kind of story is just to let those idlers take time, how can you delay time because of this kind of story? At this time, you should rest. ”

Without judging from the voice, Zhang Yansheng knew that the person who spoke was a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion and his teacher, Mr. Wen.

Only Mr. Wen can enter his study without a report.

With a respectful and humble smile on his face, Zhang Yansheng stood up, bowed to Mr. Wen, and replied, "I have met Mr., Yansheng has been taught." But Mr. doesn't know, although this story is about cultivating immortals and immortals, but the author's talent is still there, and some of the Confucian classics have their own unique ideas, so that Yan Shengqi is very great, Mr. may also be able to see it in his spare time, it is not just an ordinary story, if it is just a grandstanding story, how can Mr. Yuxian write the preface himself? ”

Hearing Zhang Yansheng's explanation, Mr. Wen's face calmed down a little, but he still shook his head and said: "If this is the case, then it would be a pity that the person who wrote this story wasted his talents in this regard." ”

Zhang Yansheng said with a smile: "The person who wrote this story is indeed an interesting person, if I have the opportunity, I really want to meet him." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yansheng seemed to be in a good mood, Mr. Wen nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is something that I must let you know." ”

"Sir, please."

Mr. Wen's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of pity, but his expression was still indifferent and flat, and he said slowly: "Just now, the privy envoy Wang Han came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person. ”
