Chapter 68: A Game, A Dream

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not a good thing. The Tong family sent troops to attack our Zhanjia Fort, which was less than ten miles away. Everyone in the hall was gossiping, and a family member suddenly broke into the hall and shouted in a panic, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Zhan Pengju was stunned for a while, and said in surprise: "You make it clear, is it the Liangyue Valley Guoji family, the Yu family, or the Woniuling Ye family?" ”

The Ding family paused angrily and said, "Fourth Young Master, it's the Tong family, the Tong family!" The children's family in Gong'e Ling! ”

Zhan Bohao exclaimed, "Impossible! There is still a Cao family in the middle, how can the Tong family call? Before he could say a word, Zhan Bohao's face changed. The Cao family? The Cao family is even more chaotic than the Zhan family now, and there is only one possibility that the Tong family can appear here, that is, the Cao family is finished.

Is it so fast? Yesterday, I discussed with the people of the Cao family how to deal with the current situation, at this moment today, the Tong family has been killed under the city of Zhanjiabao, is it just one day that the Cao family has fallen? The Tong family sent troops in a big way, so they weren't afraid that the Banzhou Yang family would take the opportunity to copy their back road?

At this moment, many terrible ideas flashed through the minds of the leaders of the exhibition family. Zhan Ning'er couldn't hold her breath, and the personal conflict between her and Zhan Boxiong in this room would not make her give up her love and concern for the entire Zhan family.

Ye Xiaotian had told her before that the threat of the Zhan family would come from the west, the west of Zhanjia Fort was the Cao family, the west of the Cao family was the Tong family, and the west of the Tong family was the Banzhou Yang family. Ning Er didn't understand who Ye Xiaotian was referring to when she said that the threat came from the west, she suspected the Cao family and the Banzhou Yang family, but the Tong family, who had been holding back, was ignored by her the most.

But no matter which one she envisioned, she didn't think that this threat would happen in a short time, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped on the front foot of the Jinjia Fort, the back foot would attack. Zhan Ning'er held the short sword at her waist and said in a deep voice: "The Tong family is not good, immediately sound the gong to gather the local soldiers, and I will go to Xicheng to have a look." ”

No one should be reconciled. Zhan Pengju and the others all looked at her with strange eyes, Zhan Bohao coughed, and said slowly: "Ning'er, you go back to the room to serve your mother, there is an old man in the strategy, and there is Peng in the charge, and it is not your turn to give orders!" ”

Zhan Ning'er was stunned for a moment, and her face quickly swollen red like blood. Her eyes looked at the Zhan clan one by one, and what she saw was indifference, vigilance, and disdain. Zhan Ning'er's eyes gradually showed a look of disappointment, and the hand that clenched the hilt of the sword hung down weakly.

She turned silently. Walking out with heavy steps, no one cared about her departure. When Ning'er walked out of the hall, what remained in her ears was the harsh sound of quarreling:

"Charging into battle? Ninth uncle, the fourth brother of Pengju is still young, and there are many people in the family who are older than him, stable and good at martial arts. Can't you just hold him in front of him just because he is your own nephew, can he hold up the current situation of the Zhan family? ”

"Bohao, what does it mean to have you in strategic decision-making? When will it be your turn to be in charge? I'm a round older than you. Can't you when I'm already dead? ”

"Hehe, second child, what else can you do with your sick body? I also hope that the second brother will live a few more years. I just want to take on more responsibility. In the current situation of our exhibition family, is it a very interesting thing to be the master of the house? ”

Sister-in-law Zhan screamed: "Our head of the house is not dead yet, and you have begun to discuss who will be in charge?" I tell you, delusional! Even if our head dies. He still has a son, he still has me, Mrs. Palm Print, and the Zhan family can't be criticized by others! ”

Zhan Ning'er has already gone out. was walking slowly along the porch, and the fierce quarrels in the hall came to her ears from time to time, and Ning Er heard that their army was approaching and dying, and they were still fighting for power, and she couldn't help but be full of sorrow.

Zhan Ning'er unexpectedly remembered what the old man of the foreign public security had said to her. She turned to her grandfather for help, trying to persuade her stubborn mother to move in with her. At that time, it was natural to talk about the current situation of the exhibitor.

Faced with Ning Er's worries, her grandfather disagreed: "A person who lacks food and clothing and is weak will get sick." A person who eats and eats his brain and is full of fat intestines will also get sick. Being sick is not a bad thing, it is because his body is no longer able to bear it, it is reminding him.

Survive this illness and get rid of bad habits, and then you will be able to live a long and healthy life. After surviving this illness, the bad habits are still the same, at least in the process of illness, he also has to stop those bad habits that seriously hurt his body, so that his overwhelmed body can breathe. ”

Ning'er, who was ignorant in her heart, asked, "What if this illness is too serious to survive?" ”

The King of Tusi replied: "If you can't hold on, then the heavens will accept him, and it will be difficult for manpower to overcome the heavens." If he gets to this point, even if he is cautious and survives, he can continue to live? Who can't escape the limit, just like Zhang Fatzi in Tongren Mansion, is it fun to have a sudden death? ”

"Grandpa, people really don't understand what you say. 's mother is very stubborn, and the Zhan family treats her like that, and she has no regrets. Ning'er couldn't persuade her again, could her grandfather write her a letter to persuade her to come back and stay for a while and relax? ”

"Hehe, your mother is no longer a child, you have what you insist on and care about, and she also has it. You say that she is stubborn or ignorant, but in her eyes, what you insist on and care about is what she disdains. Where can we tell which is right and which is wrong? ”

Old Man An put his hands on his shoulders and paced away slowly: "This place, many of the families here, have existed for thousands of years. For more than 1,000 years, every 100 years, it has always tossed and turned, and when it has a serious illness, it has recovered from the disease, and it has lived more spiritually. From Hongwu and Yongle to now, it's almost time for another serious illness......"

At this moment, recalling Mr. An's words again, Zhan Ning'er, who was once ignorant, suddenly became enlightened, and she finally understood what her grandfather meant: as small as a person, a family, as big as a force or a country, after a long period of suffering or long-term stability, the accumulated ills and problems will make it "sick", which is a process of self-cleansing and adjustment.

If this "body" can survive, it can develop more healthily. Even if it cannot be cured, this serious illness can also vent the accumulated ills and problems and prolong its lifespan, which is actually not a bad thing, forcibly suppressing and stopping its onset, but it is easy to cause its "sudden death." ”

Maybe Ye Xiaotian, Cao Ruixi, Yu Junting, Yang Yinglong, these restless people are parasitic on this sick body. The forces that live with it but want to change it, whether they are right or evil, good or bad, they are born of fate, and they are the means by which this sick and weak body tries to adjust and repair itself.

Look at the Zhanjia, I once thought that it was so powerful, and it continued and maintained the glory of its ancestors, until the catastrophe came, only to find that it was so vulnerable, its interior had long been decayed, and it had not undergone a tempering of blood and fire. How is it possible to remove the essence of the scab?

Everything that the Zhan family is currently going through, in the eyes of my grandfather, is a test that it must go through and survive, and the An family is closer to the Banzhou Yang family in addition to the Zhan family before, I am afraid this is also one of the reasons.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Old Man An must be right in what he thinks and does? Nobody knows. But one thing can be determined from this: Mr. An's philosophy of life is more inclined to Huang Lao's learning and inaction.

For the civil officials of the Ming Empire, they also appreciate the emperor's inaction, and the emperor's inaction is the only way to repay the loss. This idea of the civil service clique is obviously contrary to the idea of a smart, shrewd, and energetic young man who wants to make a difference.

Emperor Wanli thought that he had stinked Zhang Juzheng. He was completely freed from the shadow of this famous ruler and could make a difference like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but he soon found that he was trapped in an even greater quagmire -- the shackles and resistance from the civilian clique.

This restraint and resistance seem to be far less powerful and domineering than the original Zhang Juzheng. But it is flexible and tenacious, Zhu Yijun is like a "little strong" who has jumped on a spider's web, fighting hard again and again, but he has never been able to get rid of it. On the contrary, the entanglement is getting deeper and deeper.

All this made this young genius more and more exhausted. At this time, he suddenly found a vivid green in his boring and boring life. It can add a touch of fun to his seemingly honorable, but in fact boring imperial life -- the cute Xia Yingying.

However, the woman he wanted was brutally snatched away by Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying are already in love, in fact, he is the one who intervenes, but he will not realize this, because he is the emperor and he is the master of the whole world.

"This world is mine!"

Zhu Yijun has always thought so, but Ye Xiaotian slapped him hard and woke him up: "What Lao Tzu doesn't want to give you, it's not yours." ”

Zhu Yijun's little friend covered his swollen cheeks, like an embarrassed dragon, watching the victorious little prince go away with the cute little princess, but he couldn't do anything, this incident hit him very seriously.

He was full of disgust for everything around him, and this disgust finally accumulated to the extreme during the Double Ninth Festival of this year, and it exploded like a flood.

Since July, drought and flood disasters have occurred in various places in the north and south, and heavy rain has not stopped in Kaifeng, Shaanzhou, Lingbao and other prefectures and counties, and countless people and animals have drifted. Tongzhou heavy wind and rain, drifting 8,173 stones. The locust plague in Jiangbei, the drought in Shaanxi, and the heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River......

The hungry people along the Yellow River ate the grass and trees, and the people in Fuping, Pucheng, Tongguan and other counties in Shaanxi even ate Guanyin soil. Emperor Wanli cheered up and sent people to various places for relief. The relief lasted until early September, when the political strife began again.

The Inspector rose up and continued to attack the Administrator, and the Inspector fought back against the Inspector, and at the same time, they actually had the energy to challenge the Emperor together: please set up the crown prince, please divide the kings and move out of the capital, please enter the ...... of the Emperor's eldest son's biological mother, Concubine Gong, every day in the court, the noise is endless.

Emperor Wanli hated all this, and for him, the court was like a game he was tired of playing, and he finally decided to change his way of life.

: Some friends suggested updating during the day, saying that they waited too late every night, and even followed the good flow, so they would be updated during the day in the future, and I hope you know. (To be continued......)
