c_t; After the beginning of this banquet for a period of time, Yingxiu, as the host, did not be polite, but after retiring the palace maids and attendants on the left and right, he said his thoughts straight to the point: "As my elders, I am not polite about anything, I know that you are gathered together this time, obviously because of the Wang family's affairs." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info (Here, what I want to know is that I don't know if you have any good strategies to solve the Wang family without shaking the foundation of the Great Qin Empire?)

After hearing Yingxiu's words, everyone including the Taiyuan Wang family knew that Yingxiu was already intolerant of Wang Mang and his family. But they didn't think that this was too hasty, because the strength of the various family patriarchs here might be inferior to the strength of the Wang family alone, but if it is integrated, I am afraid that even the current royal family of the Great Qin Empire will not be able to resist.

Especially the Xianyang Zhang family, as the faint leader of these patriarchs at the moment, as long as Zhang Yuan has not done a lot of wrong things, or violated their fundamental interests, they will not break away from the alliance status with the Xianyang Zhang family for no reason.

And Yingxiu also understands that the arrival of these people together is obviously the most important manifestation of Zhang Yuan's operation. After all, even if he is an emperor, if he wants to concentrate these family patriarchs with a certain amount of influence and strength at once, I am afraid it is not as good as Zhang Yuanding.

For such a point, Yingxiu accepted it very calmly, after all, these people can be said to be Zhang Jiashi's insurance for the royal family of the Great Qin Empire and an important basis for correcting the big mistakes made by the royal family of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, in the inheritance of these families, only Zhang Jiashi is the real core figure. If it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's original use of their ancestors, I'm afraid what would happen to these patriarchs right now is just an unknown number that cannot be guessed.

Therefore, for Zhang Yuan and the previous heads of the Zhang family, the main reason for the peak of his prestige was Zhang Jiashi, the original king of Dingwu.

And these families, such as the Yangwu Chen family and the Linzi Han family, are undoubtedly the most solid allies of the Xianyang Zhang family.

So in this regard, Yingxiu also knows very well that as long as the Xianyang Zhang family does not commit serious mistakes, the royal family of the Great Qin Empire will only tolerate and appease these relatives. After all, everyone is a bloodline inheritance, the same ancestry, why bother to hurt the balance between everyone for something that is not too important, causing more chaos?

After hearing Yingxiu's words, Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "Wang Mang is arrogant and domineering, but he has a good reputation among the government and the opposition, if he attacks him for no reason, I am afraid that there are many people in the world who are not convinced." It's a pity that Wang Mang is certainly a very talented person, but he is in a hurry many times, and now, since the other party has made a major mistake, this mistake is naturally to make Wang Mang accept the bitter fruit he must bear. ”

Although Zhang Yuan's tone was very calm, everyone present could hear a lot of killing intent contained in Zhang Yuan's words.

Zhang Yuan and Wang Mang and even the Wang family in the Wang Feng period did not have too many festivals, but in terms of the feedback of the Zhang family in Jixian County, in order to fill the bigger and bigger gap in the past few years, the Wang family has taken many dependent branches of the Zhang family, even the Zhang family in Jixian County, to restore their strength;

Such a situation is not something that Zhang Yuan can easily tolerate. After all, although the strength of the Zhang family in Jixian County is weak, there is no doubt that the Zhang family in Jixian County, as the suzerain of the Zhang family in Hebei, will suffer a great weakening of its strength, which will be a big blow to the Zhang family in other places and even the Zhang family in Xianyang. After all, the Wang family and Wang Mang are not easy to satisfy.

Once they greatly weakened the strength of the Zhang family in Jixian County, then the appetite of the Wang family and Wang Mang would not be satisfied by a small Zhao County.

Since the Xianyang Zhang family will one day tear up their faces with the Wang family, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Wang family has made a mistake and its strength is relatively weak, and it is better to launch a fatal blow to the Wang family or even kill it with one blow.

And Zhang Yuan said after a pause: "Although the strength of our families vaguely surrounds the core strength of the Wang family in Zhao County, there is no doubt that the foundation of the Wang family is not something that we can solve by just relying on a part of the personnel to enter Zhao County. What we need is to make the Wang family lose the ability to resist and even rise again. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan glanced at the others with his eyes, and found that many of them nodded slightly, and then pretended to ponder before continuing: "I will let a certain number of people enter Zhao County, intending to attack the core area of the Wang family, there is no doubt that it will not have much effect, but we can use another way to increase the strength we can mobilize in this regard." ”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, several patriarchs present couldn't help but have some doubts, because since they planned to make the Wang family pay a heavy price, they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity be lost in vain.

It can be said that they are gathered together in order to divide the resources and even the scope of control of the Wang family.

And Zhang Yuan's description is obviously to let more people participate in such a thing, so that for their families, there is undoubtedly a vested interest that will inevitably need to be shared with the new candidates.

This is a difficult thing for these families to accept.

But they didn't attack Zhang Yuan like this, because Zhang Yuan saw it as very generous, but in fact he was a person who was very concerned about gains and losses, and he wanted to make Zhang Yuan suffer, not to mention Yingxiu, the young emperor, even if they were many family patriarchs who were not younger than Zhang Yuan, they really hadn't seen it.

When Yin Zhi heard this, his eyes looked at Yingxiu who looked listening, because Yin Zhi had a hunch that Zhang Yuan's family would definitely not have much loss, and the sharing of these losses, his brother-in-law and the current Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, I am afraid that they will have to bear a lot.

Of course, Yin Zhi didn't think that Yingxiu would even be unacceptable to such a loss, and if Yingxiu couldn't accept it, he wouldn't dig a pit many times to let Wang Mang and the Wang family jump.

Yingxiu also knew that it was time for him to express his position, he groaned, looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "I don't know what the other party wants, as long as it is not too much, I will naturally satisfy them." ”

Yingxiu's words made Zhang Yuan show a smile, because what Zhang Yuan said next made many people quite surprised: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the other party doesn't want to get more things, but the other party wants to send his niece into the palace to serve Your Majesty." ”

Hearing this, many people's expressions were more exciting, because they knew very well that Yingxiu was not as good as the previous emperors of the Great Qin Empire, but similar to the Wen Emperor Yingxun of the Great Qin Empire, and had a very close relationship with Empress Yin Lihua, and Zhang Yuan's words may offend Yingxiu, and offend the Yin family, which is also considered a prestigious family in the Nanyang County area.

And Yin Lihua's expression has not changed much, and she herself knows very well that with Yingxiu's character, even if the other party does not accept this kind of thing in her heart, but for more things, Yingxiu will still compromise.

And Yingxiu looked at Zhang Yuan for a while, and the thoughts in her heart were flying, because this was indeed something that he couldn't accept, but it was very easy to face.

And he was looking at Zhang Yuan, not knowing why the other party would make such a statement. Maybe Zhang Yuan was worried that the Yin family would divide into the next Wang family, and he had to choose a check and balance?

Yingxiu couldn't tell if it was because of this that Zhang Yuan would make this suggestion, but just like Yin Lihua's understanding of Yingxiu, Yingxiu still accepted such a suggestion after pondering for a while.

And he asked Zhang Yuan with some doubts: "According to my understanding, in Zhao County, there should be no family that can compete with the Wang family. This person is qualified to be part of such a thing?"

Regarding Yingxiu's question, Zhang Yuan said very bluntly: "As Your Majesty said, there is indeed no family in Zhao County that can compete with the Wang family, but if this force is not just a family, then Your Majesty naturally does not need to worry about anything." ”

Zhang Yuan's implication is that Yingxiu doesn't need to worry about anything in this regard, because he can arrange this aspect of things very properly.

And Yin Lihua pursed her lips and smiled at this time, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Uncle Zhang, the concubine doesn't know that she is the sister of the concubine, and she will serve Your Majesty together, I wonder if Uncle Zhang can tell me one or two?"

"This matter is indeed a contemptible negligence, and I hope Your Majesty, the Queen and you will forgive me. Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan paused slightly and said a person's name:

"This woman is the daughter of the late Zhending Taishou Guo Chang, and the niece of Kong Yan, the current governor of Zhao County, Guo Shengtong. ”

If Zhang Jiashi heard what Zhang Yuan said, then he would directly spray the other party's face: "What kind of thing is this!? Isn't the old Liu family dead and there is only one Liu Fei left?!"

What Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that because of the inertia of history, Kong Gang's descendants moved to live in the area of Zhao County, and in 6 AD, Kong Yan's sister Kong married Guo Chang, making Guo Shengtong appear again in the world that should have changed;

......

In the history known to Zhang Jiashi, Guo Shengtong, a native of Gaocheng in Zhending, a descendant of the ancient Guo Kingdom, a famous family in Zhongshan County, was the empress of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was known as Empress Guangwu Guo in history. Guo Shengtong's father is a big surname in the county, and his father Guo Chang, who died early and had few righteous deeds, once gave millions of farm property to his half-brother, so he was praised by the people of the county. He served as a gongcao in the county. Guo Shengtong's maternal family is the Zhending royal family, and her mother is the daughter of Liu Pu, the king of Zhending Gong, who is called the lord of Guo because she married to the Guo family, and gave birth to Guo Shengtong and her son Guo Guo. Guo Chang died early, although Guo Zhu was a woman of the Wang family, she was polite and thrifty, and had the virtue of motherhood.

In September 23 AD, in September, Sanfu Hao Gong punished Wang Mang, and the first emperor Liu Xuan was a great hero in Wancheng, and then intended to move the capital to Luoyang, so Liu Xiu was the commander of the school, so that he went to renovate the palace. Engaged in the inspector, as in the old chapter. So the subordinates were placed, the composition was moved, and the Han officials returned to their hearts. When the first emperor arrived, he sent Liu Xiu to break the general to do the great Sima affair and cross the north with the festival. Zhenweizhou County. When I went to the county, I saw the 2,000 stone county guards, the chiefs, the three elders, and the officials, and went down to Zuoshi, inspected the dethronement, sent prisoners to the level, abolished Wang Mang's harsh government, and restored the Han officials. It gained more popular support and jurisdiction for the original regime.

At the same time, because Liu Xiujin went to Handan, he rejected the suggestion of Liu Lin, the former prince of Zhao Miao, to flood his red eyebrows, so he supported Wang Lang to falsely call the son of Emperor Cheng of Han as the emperor and set the capital in Handan, and got the response of Liu Jie, the former prince of Guangyang. As a marriage with the Zhending royal family, the Guo family, following Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, also fell into the wind.

At this time, Guo would not have thought that Liu Xiu, the representative of the Northern Tour of the original regime, would go and return. After experiencing the frustration of having no recruits in the north and the generals dying to the south, recalling the cold of the Hutuo River and the sweetness of bean porridge and wheat rice, Liu Xiu, who was chased by Wang Lang for 100,000 households, dug the first pot of gold in Xindu, and recovered with 4,000 elite soldiers. At the same time, Liu Zhi and Geng Chun led the children of their clans, according to their counties, and swore to follow, and from there, they descended to Quyang in the north, and there were tens of thousands of people.

At the same time, the son of Shanggu Taishou Geng came to pay homage and discussed with Liu Xiu to unite the two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang to determine the strategy of Handan. And along the road, they sent troops to fight from north to south, attacking Xinshi and seeking Handan. When it was too late, Liu Xiu sent Liu Zhi as a lobbyist to say that Liu Yang would be surrendered.

In the end, Liu Zhi's lobbying and his own judgment of the situation made Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, make a choice, and between the newly established Handan regime and the imminent Hebei representative of the original regime, the king of Zhending finally chose Liu Xiu. Essentially, he ended up choosing the fist closest to him. At the same time, as a sign of sincerity, Liu Yang married his niece to Liu Xiu, and in the spring of the first two years (24 AD), Liu Xiu stayed in Zhending Guo's lacquer and accepted Shengtong. At this point, the Guo family in Beidi and the Liu family in Nanxiang were good and became in-laws.

This is an out-and-out political marriage, Guo Shengtong is a tool for forming an alliance in the hands of his uncle Zhending Wang, and she does not enjoy any autonomy. In this union formed out of necessity, the meaning of marriage becomes real, utilitarian, and direct. Liu Yang sang after this, King Zhending's wealth was guaranteed, and the royal family of Zhending was once again in a corner of peace. And only he married Liu Xiu's niece, the marriage is uncertain, and the future is confused.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu was very fond of Guo Shengtong after marriage, and on the one hand, the Handan front was constantly advancing with the surrender of the Zhending royal family. and the Shanggu Yuyang cavalry to play with horses, to surround Handan's high spirits, on the other end is the newlywed Yan'er, higher than expected married life, will be the joy of being a father. In May of the first two years, after Liu Xiu adopted Geng Chun's strategy of "abandoning the attack on the Bairen and Julu, and smashing Handan", he fought Lianke, pulled out Handan, punished Wang Lang, booby-trapped Xie Bow, and Beizhou was determined to lay the foundation of the king.

......

It can be said that if it weren't for the political marriage with Guo Shengtong, I am afraid that Liu Xiu's life trajectory in the future would have undergone very significant changes.

After all, if King Zhending at that time opposed Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu would probably find it difficult to gain a firm foothold in Hebei, let alone create the Eastern Han Dynasty.
