Chapter 136: The undercurrent is surging

The Zheng family of Xingyang was a well-known family in the Tang Dynasty, and the Zheng family was the oldest family among the five surnames and seven wangs in terms of age. It can be traced back to the Zheng period when King Xuan of Zhou was divided, and it was the Zheng royal family in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Zheng Guo was destroyed, he still took Zheng as his surname, and his hometown Xingyang as his county, and lived tenaciously. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, starting with Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others in the same line as Zheng at that time, it gradually developed into a high-ranking family and became one of the most prominent families among the five surnames and seven wangs.

After thousands of years of development and growth, the Zheng family is like a towering ancient tree with intertwined roots, not only lush branches but also deep-rooted and enduring. The talents under the control of the Zheng family are all over the government and the opposition, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world. It has an incomparably strong political foundation.

At this moment, in an old house in the ancestral land of the Zheng family, a middle-aged man with a simple face and a calm demeanor is walking back and forth in the house. This is as calm as him, and he can't help but reveal a trace of anxiety between his eyebrows. In the face of the current situation, there is some confusion.

His name is Zheng Yuanbi, and he is also quite a prestigious person in the huge Xingyang Zheng family, and he is one of the popular candidates for the next Zheng family steward.

Five surnames and seven wangs, seven gate valve families, can be passed down for thousands of years, in addition to a stable foundation, a set of reasonable and effective management methods is essential. Only through effective management can a large family be guaranteed to prosper for a long time.

The management style of the seven major valve families is roughly the same, respecting the most prestigious and appealing ancestor as the patriarch, and then selecting several stewards to assist the ancestor in handling the affairs of the clan. Because the ancestor was extremely old and had limited energy. Although they are nominally overseeing the overall situation, in fact the real power is a few stewards. Only when a few stewards disagree, or when things are too strict. They will invite their ancestors to make the final decision.

Therefore, the status of several stewards is extremely lofty, and the connections in their hands are also extremely terrifying. became the steward of the family, almost like a powerful minister in the court, and even more free than the powerful minister. Be able to call on the network resources in your hands anytime and anywhere, and push your relatives, friends and family to the core of politics. Because of this, the Cui family, who is married to a wife, has such a face, because she has an older brother who is in charge of the Cui family.

The Zheng family now has a vacant position as a steward. Zheng Yuanbi is bound to win this position. Looking at all the competitors, Zheng Yuanbi did not find anyone who was qualified to compare with him. This qiē is attributed to his father as well as his older brother.

His father, Zheng Yi, was a core official of the Northern and Sui dynasties, and served as a doctor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was Yang Jian's right-hand man who gave the history of Kaifu and Qizhou Thorns, and his prestige was extremely high. The elder brother Zheng Yuanxuan is not a simple person, he was under the shadow of his father, and he became a hussar general as soon as he entered the officialdom. After the Tang Dynasty, it was also mixed up. has a certain right to speak in the court, and is very valued by Li Yuan.

Cheng Yuen-bi had been assisting the late Cheng family steward, and now the Cheng family steward has passed away. It is almost imperative that the vacant position be filled by him, a descendant of the Zheng family who is familiar with the process and has a certain background.

Zheng Yuanbi has always regarded the stewardship throne as something in his pocket.

But something happened to the certainty.

A small partial branch of the Zheng family suddenly rose up and walked into the eyes of the old ancestor of Zheng, he is Zheng Renji, a partial branch of the Zheng family's young house. There is always only one most effective way to attract talents, marriage. They fell in love with a person's talent, Xu Yi's family daughter. Then use the family power to push it to a high position, so as to make a name for the family.

Zheng Renji is somewhat unknown in the Zheng family. But his daughter Zheng Liwan actually had a marriage contract with the youngest and most promising general Xiaowei in the Tang Dynasty under the mediation of the Cui family.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, martial arts and generals abounded, but there were very few people who only entered the picture as literati. Li Tang has been in power for six years, and along the way, the prime ministers are Li Shimin, Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, Xiao Yu, Dou Wei, Dou Kang, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Feng Deyi, Pei Ju, Li Yuanji, Yu Wenshi and, except for Chen Shuda, who entered the prime minister as a literati, everyone else has military exploits. Among them, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshi and these people also specially asked Li Yuan to send Li Shimin to let them go to the battlefield to gild, and get some war merits back without gilding, and even the prime minister did not give them the prime minister.

It can be seen that the martial atmosphere of the early Tang Dynasty, and the status of military generals is really above that of civil servants.

And Na Luo Shixin is a white body, without the support of any connections, it is easy to obtain the official titles of General Xiaowei, Shangzhu State, and Tan Guogong, if he gets the cultivation of connections, the future is limitless, and he may be able to become the youngest and earliest person in the Tang Dynasty to enter the picture with military merits. In the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all of them in the world have also been greatly impacted, and none of them have been on the throne so far. Luo Shixin has the possibility of zài. With such a potential talent, who is not impressed.

Because of this, the Cui family is a little disgusted that Zheng Liwan's background is too weak, if it weren't for Luo Shixin's liking, she would be eager to find a direct daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe Cui to give him.

With such a son-in-law, Zheng Renji's status jumped thousands of miles by virtue of his son-in-law's nobility, and he entered the eyes of Mrs. Zheng, and immediately became fragrant and gluttonous.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that Luo Shixin's potential is several streets away from Zheng Yuanxuan.

Zheng Yuanbi's upcoming position suddenly became unpredictable, after all, Zheng Renji has been excluded from the periphery of the Zheng family, and it is very difficult for him to serve the Zheng family with all his heart and soul like other Zheng family members. So someone mentioned that yì moved people with power and power, and directly promoted Zheng Renji to the steward of the Zheng family. They have specially understood Zheng Renji's temperament, pedantic but honest and selfless, and he has the ability to do a good job in managing things, and he is not afraid of causing any trouble.

In front of Zheng Yuanbi's seemingly absurd Tiyì, he was actually supported by many current stewards, and his position was threatened.

"Brother Zheng Yuanbi, something is wrong." While Zheng Yuanbi was thinking hard about what to do, a fifty-year-old scribe walked in quickly.

Zheng Yuanbi's face changed drastically, and he greeted him heavily: "Is it really as we expected?" ”

The person who came said with a blushing face: "The old lady has already recognized Zheng Renji's strategy, and also convinced Zheng Ying that fool, it is inevitable that Zheng Renji will be in charge." ”

"Bastard!" Zheng Yuanbi scolded angrily, with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. Several major stewards have different task assignments, and the vacant stewards manage the Zheng family's money and goods. Compared with this kind of gatekeeper, money is something outside the body, and it is the steward who manages money and things, and the position is the lowest among several stewards. But it is undeniable that among all the stewards, this bottom steward has the most oil and water. He is a right-hand man in charge of affairs, and he can enter the gold bucket every day, let alone manage things.

Zheng Renji parachuted in, and with his pedantic and upright character, he will inevitably catch every link to death. Zheng Yuanbi felt that he had not only been robbed of his position, but also that his current financial path would be cut off by the other party. Maybe the old accounts that were made will also be turned over. All kinds of threats came one after another.

The Pentecostal scribe said, "The matter has come to this, and the only way to do it is to take it one step at a time." Brother Yuanbi, you first stabilize Zheng Renji, he is new to Chadao, his foundation is unstable, and it is not easy to control the affairs of the Zheng family in a short period of time. We can't attack Zheng Renji for a while, so as not to expose our identities, but Luo Shixin and Zheng Liwan are the targets we can start. ”

Zheng Yuanbi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "You mean? ”

The Pentecostal scribe smiled coldly and said, "We are in the dark, and they are in the light." It wasn't difficult to deal with them, or they died, or something went wrong with one of them, and the marriage fell through. Zheng Renji has lost his support, can he still threaten you and me? Don't forget, their marriage contract is still verbal, and there are no serious three books and six rites. And as far as I know, Luo Shixin has also offended many people in the court, and he can be used for it. ”

Zheng Yuanbi laughed: "It makes sense, it makes sense." We have no grievances with them, and no one will suspect us. Haha, Zheng Renji wants to climb on my head with his daughter and son-in-law, I will destroy your daughter and son-in-law, see what you can endure me! ”

**********

The busy days became idle as the right Xiaowei got on the right track.

Luo Shixin also breathed a sigh of relief and tried to let go.

Initially, because of the need for reform, in order to avoid abnormal problems, he needed to solve the problem as soon as possible by virtue of the prestige of the right guard, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Datang's control over the current Twelve Guards is somewhat similar to the rule of inaction, as long as you don't have problems, do your part, and maintain the corresponding combat effectiveness of the troops. Do these things, and the above will be left to you to toss and turn a blind eye. After all, everyone's style of leading troops is different, and it is difficult to seek unity.

Therefore, Luo Shixin saw the actions of the right Xiaowei in his eyes, but because he did not make a big mistake, there were occasional small problems, and they were ignored under the timely correction.

Now the right Xiaowei is like a normal machine, as long as you follow the process system, there is no problem in the system.

As for the training of soldiers, there is no need to worry, Xue Yong and Mo Huer are responsible for arranging, and Su Dingfang is in charge of the overall situation, and Yiqiē is under control.

Su Dingfang also showed the characteristics of a famous general at this time, although he was a latecomer, his understanding of the Mo Dao Formation was far above Xue Yong and Mo Hu'er, second only to Luo Shixin himself. Although the qualifications are the lowest, he has already won the trust and respect of Xue Yong and Mo Hu with his outstanding ability, and when Luo Shixin is away, he will take over the training. Regarding Su Dingfang's ability, what else is Luo Shixin worried about?

As soon as the power on both sides was released, Luo Shixin was really idle, and turned to the study of military strategy. (To be continued......)

PS: Recently, the book review has been a bit hot, which shows that the role of Pingyang in the wordless creation of zào is still relatively successful. As for the follow-up or something, how to write wordless has a spectrum in mind, but how to say it, step by step has its own plan. But if you want me to accept Pingyang, Pingyang is my wife, Zheng Liwan is my wife, Zheng Liwan is my wife, I accept that woman, and that woman is a concubine, so what's the point of looking at it?
