Chapter 137
readx;? The next day, Zhang Jiashi's main thing was to accompany his wife and concubine at home, and he had the right to give himself a holiday. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info (.. Because he knew very well that he might not have such an easy time for a considerable period of time after tomorrow's meeting.
On this night, after Zhang Jiashi and Yingxi finished eating, Qi Ji and the others said goodbye one after another and returned to their side room.
After all, Yingxi and Ying Lian are Zhang Jiashi's wives. The relationship between them is better now. However, for them to compete for favor with each other, firstly, they feel that they don't need it, and secondly, they know Zhang Jiashi's character very well and don't like to see such things happen.
And Zhang Jiashi didn't do anything that he liked to see and take for granted at this time. After all, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Yingxi and Yinglian were still sad about Yingzheng's affairs, and they didn't give him a big trouble, which was a good thing.
There are many situations, and for Zhang Jiashi, there is no hurry.
On this night, Zhang Jiashi hugged Yingxi and Yinglian, and just quietly said the words between the three of them, and slowly fell asleep.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, many people had gathered in front of the main entrance of Zhang Jiashi's mansion.
These people were basically the various officials who were invited by Yao Yong and were qualified to participate in this meeting.
Among this group of people, not only Chen Ping, Xiao He, Han Xin, Jian, Ruan Weng Shao and other Zhang Jiashi's original descendants, Li Zuoche had already come to Dingxiang City, and Tian Su and others, who had invested under Zhang Jiashi, were also invited.
Of course, there is also Liao Yi, a middle-aged uncle who doesn't know where he should stand.
It can be said that this is the largest meeting of Zhang Jiashi's department in the past.
And Li Zuoche glanced at Liao Yi, walked to the other party's side cordially, and communicated with Liao Yi. It's not that Li Zuoche is a self-acquaintance, but Liao Yi's dress, although he is still a warlock, but I know that he will be summarized as Li Zuoche in the civil official formation, and he is more of a helper.
At this time, the middle door of Zhang Jiashi's mansion was slowly opened by several domestic servants. And Grandpa Xi walked out slowly, signaling the people outside the door to follow him into the inside.
Well, this situation was not figured out by Zhang Jiashi himself, Zhang Jiashi is still hanging a white silk scarf on his armor with the help of Yingxi and Ying Lian.
This is one of the sacrificial methods of the Great Qin Empire, and during the state funeral, many officials who work as usual do so.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know that his subordinates would have different thoughts about the situation they encountered outside the door. According to his original idea, it was good for him to go directly to the big house in the front yard, because the subordinates who came one after another did not need to wait outside.
If Zhang Jiashi knew that the Xigong Guild was so self-assertive, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
Because this way can be said to be completely transgressive.
In Daqin's decree, it is estimated that Zhang Jiashi will have to die several times.
Those military attachΓ©s and ministers who had other ideas were muttering in this regard.
Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others slowly shook their heads after glancing at each other. They have long known that this situation has nothing to do with Zhang Jiashi. This person who came out is Xi's father-in-law, and they know it very well.
Of course, they were also very uneasy, because this Dingxiang City has now become a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. In many ways, Father-in-law Xi is completely blocking Zhang Jiashi and even making trouble.
Compared with this, in their understanding, there is a complete reason for Grandpa Xi to do this.
They don't know, but they don't hear some people whispering.
After they slowly walked past Grandpa Xi's side, they felt that each other's bodies exuded a trace of killing intent that was not easy to detect.
......
Grandpa Xi is not an idler now. In Zhang Jiashi's absence, Gonggong Xi, with the support of Yingxi and Ying Lian, the two mothers of General Zuo's Mansion, became the leader of a team in charge of the intelligence organization of General Zuo's Mansion.
This is still a proposal that Chen Ping made after thinking about it for a long time.
To be honest, Xiao He was shocked by this sentence at that time. Because they did start planning in this regard, Zhang Jiashi didn't know the actual situation about this matter.
And let Gonggong Xi be fully responsible for this matter, Xiao He never heard Chen Ping say it.
He couldn't object, so he had to nod silently in the eyes of the two sisters, Yingxi and Yinglian, expressing his agreement with Chen Ping's suggestion.
Xiao He remembered very well that he then had a conversation with Chen Ping in the county guard's mansion:
"Why did you make that decision?"
"Without him, that father-in-law is in charge of this matter, and he would have done his best. Chen Ping calmly picked up a bamboo slip and said this.
"That's obviously not your most important thought. Xiao He looked at Chen Ping quietly like this.
After Chen Ping heard this, he raised his head and looked at Xiao He: "There are some things, even if adults believe in us again, we will resolutely not do them." Don't you understand?"
After Xiao He heard this, he was silent, of course he could hear the meaning of Chen Ping's words.
Xiao He, who was thinking deeply, finally shook his head and sighed......
This is one of the reasons why Gonggong Xi has now replaced Zheng Fu's position and become the steward of General Zuo's Mansion of Zhang Jiashi.
As a housekeeper, Zheng Fu's talent in this area was admired even by his father-in-law. However, Zheng Fu is a complete man, and it is still inconvenient to enter and exit the backyard. And the arrival of Father-in-law Xi, whether it is experience, identity, or qualifications, Zheng Fu is completely incomparable.
Especially in terms of identity, as the father-in-law of the first emperor, Zheng Fu can't compare to the other party even if he does it for a few hundred years.
Unless Zheng Fu castrates himself......
Therefore, the current General Zuo's mansion has undergone a little change in personnel.
First of all, Gonggong Xi became the head of General Zuo's Mansion, and Zheng Fu was the housekeeper in the front yard.
In addition, after Gonggong Xi took office, he communicated with the four major officers in Zhang Jiashi's personal guards, Yao Yong, Chen Heng, Shusun Zhong, and Shusun Ji, that is, the members of the personal guards no longer have to be responsible for patrolling in the backyard.
When the four of them heard this, they were silent for a while, and then nodded after looking at each other.
After all, they all know very well why Grandpa Xi would say this. After all, things in this area do need to change.
They weren't worried that Zhang Jiashi would have any suspicions, but people's hearts were unpredictable, and if their subordinates wanted to do something, they couldn't control it at all.
So, they accepted the request very directly.
However, the fact that they can accept this arrangement does not mean that it will solve the problem. At the very least, what about the guards in the inner courtyard?
Grandpa Xi seems to have made all the preparations. He clapped his hands gently, and three women appeared in front of the four.
They are Jing Wuji, Zhao Qian, and Chun Yuqiu.
Father-in-law Xi said at this time: "These three girls are internal security officers. Ahem, the Internal Guard is now looking for the right personnel to make arrangements for its formation. Four adults, in the future, you will patrol the house, so let's adjust it. β
Yao Yong and the others glanced at the three unwilling girls, and after glancing at each other, they felt the coercion emanating from Father-in-law Xi, and they nodded directly.
This kind of coercion, for Yao Yong and others, is not under Mo Hong at all, so you can imagine how strong the strength of Gonggong Xi is. No matter how bad it is, it will be okay for him to have a draw with Mo Hong.
As for the three women...... Well, Yao Yong and they know very well that at least there is one who is a little ambiguous with his own General Zuo.
Well, men are no less curious than women in this regard.
In fact, Zhao Qian and Chun Yuqiu were indeed reluctant to do this, because this was completely a disguised torment for Zhao Qian. And Chun Yuqiu wants to make a contribution where she is needed.
As for Jing Wuji, the troublesome lady in Zhang Jiashi's eyes, she didn't have any opinions. Compared with such a thing as working for Zhang Jiashi, Jing Wuji, who has a good relationship with Yingxi and other women, quickly accepted the invitation of his father-in-law.
......
Few people know how much thought he put into the internal guard in the mouth of his father-in-law.
First of all, Gonggong Xi wandered around the slave market in Dingxiang City for several days before he found a dozen servant girls and slaves that he thought were suitable.
This person is completely useless.
Father-in-law Xi could only retreat to the second, and openly found Chen Ping and Xiao He who were in the county guard's mansion, and said their request.
Faced with what Father-in-law Xi said, this request that made them really cry and laugh, Chen Ping and Xiao He could only promise that they would pay attention to this aspect of the situation.
And one night, several carriages entered the Mo family's current base.
Father-in-law Xi, who operated it himself, ignored Mo Hong's dissatisfied eyes, and said to Mo Hong: "Train these people too." Also, I'm going to take some people away. β
"No, people can help you train, but I won't be castrated by you for those little ones who train. With Mo Hong's eyes, how could he not see what had happened to these people who got down from the carriage by Grandpa Xi?
After hearing this, Gonggong Xi said to Mo Hong: "When did I say that I was going to castrate those people?"
"And what are you going to do?"
"Use them to spy on intelligence, and do other things, don't you tell me that you old rascal didn't teach these things?"
"Ahem, what do you say, they are all serious swordsmen. β
"The devil believes you, twenty people! I will come once every six months. β
"You can't do it when I'm here to raise pigs?"
"If you don't do it, or we'll see the real chapter under our hands!"
"Come on, come on, I've long seen that you old gelding is not pleasing to the eye!"
As a result, the two of them naturally couldn't fight, and the Mo family and the dozen or so would-be servants who had already signed a deed of sale with Gonggong Xi watched the two quarrel for more than half an hour.
Hawkers, if Zhang Jiashi knew about this scene that was unknown to outsiders, he would have to say: "Both, you can all be regarded as full of mouth cannon skills." β
The final result was that after the two were tired of arguing, after chatting privately on the side, Mo Hong made a concession.
The dozen or so castrated people who were personally operated by Gonggong Xi were left in this place, and Gonggong Xi took away a dozen little guys who Mo Hong thought could be a teacher.
There is another thing, that is, when Grandpa Xi came for the second time, the people who got off the carriage were ten girls.
In Mo Hong's helpless eyes, Father-in-law Xi gently patted Mo Hong's shoulder: "The matter between us, Xi naturally will not forget." β
"That's what you said. Mo Hong shook his head, and then found someone to call Mo Yan'er.
After knowing that she was going to train these girls, Mo Yan'er did not doubt him, and simply said that there was no problem.
And after Mo Yan'er and the others left, Mo Hong said a sentence very seriously: "Old gelding, don't forget the agreement between us." β
"That's inevitable. Old rascal, I think you know very well what you have paid for this, but what the whole Momen has gotten is the same. Father-in-law Xi looked at Mo Hong and showed a hint of a smile.
Mo Hong sighed slightly and said a sentence: "I am indeed a failing father. β
After hearing this, Gonggong Xi said a sentence that Zhang Jiashi should be very familiar with: "What is this? You are also a Momen Juzi, if everything can be realized, then ...... How could Momen not become the number one sect in the world, and even among the hundreds of schools, it could compete with the Legalists. β
After Mo Hong heard this, he nodded expressionlessly.
Just like the agreement between Grandpa Xi and him, Mo Hong certainly knew that once the things that Grandpa Xi said went smoothly. Not to mention the revival of Momen, even becoming the number one sect in the world is not a problem.
In fact, of course, Mo Hong would not be so easily moved by what Grandpa Xi said, but after hearing Grandpa Xi's words that finally made him make up his mind after that conversation, he was indeed as the other party said, he had to gamble.
What was the sentence of Father-in-law Xi, and the conversation between him and Father-in-law Xi afterwards, Mo Hong estimated that he would never forget it in his life:
"If General Zuo fails, you and I can only cover the nest without eggs, and if General Zuo succeeds, Momen will be able to get the support of General Zuo, who is very likely to have controlled Great Qin at that time. It's just that this is far from enough for Momen and for you, brother. In that case, do you want to gamble ......?"
"Bet on what?"
"If you are the next Mo family, you will be the descendant of General Zuo...... So, when General Zuo arrives, no matter what position he is in, won't he vigorously help him?"
"You mean, let me recruit General Zuo's future heir as a closed disciple?"
"Yes and no. Father-in-law Xi smiled slightly, shook his head, and refuted Mo Hong's thoughts.
Mo Hong didn't understand, he looked at Gonggong Xi, and said a little confused: "Then what is your opinion?"
"If the heirs born to General Zuo's other wives and concubines are allowed to inherit the position of Juzi, there will definitely be many dissatisfaction within Momen. In that case, Hi naturally wouldn't have made such a stupid idea. β
Xi Gonggong's words made Mo Hong, who didn't think of this aspect, suddenly think of something.
He looked at Gonggong Xi uncertainly, and said for a while: "You mean, let General Zuo and Yan'er ......"
"I don't know what my brother thinks, no matter what aspect it is, this is indeed the best arrangement, isn't it?" Grandpa Xi did not directly refute Mo Hong's words, which made Mo Hong fall into deep thought.
I don't know how long it has been, Mo Hong raised his head, looked at Father-in-law Xi with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Can it succeed?"
"It's a man-made thing. Father-in-law Xi said this sentence with a smile, as if he remembered something, he said to Mo Hong: "Xi is planning to form an internal guard force recently, well, Miss Yan'er, she is also a commander of Xi." I don't know what you think?"
Mo Hong looked at Father-in-law Xi and wanted to punch the other party's smiling face hard, because he didn't expect Father-in-law Xi to actually think of such a route.
In a sense, Mo Hong found that Gonggong Xi was much more bastard than he was when he traveled around the world.
He said slowly, "You're more suitable for the title of old bastard." Does General Zuo know?"
"Compared with the Mo Cheap Saint who was rumored about the countries back then, the joy is still far behind. Does General Zuo know that this is important?" Father-in-law Xi smiled very happily this time, he looked at the embarrassed Mo Hong, his smile slowly converged, and he said with a solemn face:
"You, will you accept such an arrangement?"
"Let me think about it. β
I don't know how long the time has passed, Mo Hong looked at Father-in-law Xi who was drinking, and finally nodded: "I agreed." β
Father-in-law Xi smiled slightly, and then poured a glass of wine for the wine lord in front of Mo Hong, who didn't know how long it had been empty: "Come, let's drink this cup full." β
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have poisoned you, bastard. Mo Hong looked at Father-in-law Xi depressedly and muttered such a sentence.
However, with a somewhat dry hand, he picked up the winelord......
"Choke".
A slight sound of the wine jue colliding sounded, and Grandpa Xi and Mo Hong drank all the wine in the wine jue almost at the same time......
No outsider knows about this. Because, except for those non-human beings who don't care about the mundane things in the world, even Zhao Gao, the number one master of Great Qin, he can't overhear the conversation between Mo Hong and Father-in-law Xi.
......
Are these things done by Father-in-law worth it?
Nobody knows.
However, in the dead of night, Father-in-law Xi would often be alone, looking at the sky outside a small house temporarily arranged in General Zuo's Mansion.
No one knows what Grandpa Xi is thinking.
In the eyes of the people in Zhang Jiashi's mansion, he is always so peaceful and seems to be so kind to everyone......
There are good people and bad people in eunuchs. And in many cases, eunuchs knew what they should and should not do, and they were even the most loyal of them.
It's like Wei Zhongxian, regardless of the evaluation of the history books, if you take 10,000 steps back, compared to the Donglin Party, Gonggong Wei at least knows what the Ming Dynasty needs.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi slowly appeared in front of his subordinate martial arts.
He saw a lot of people he didn't seem to know, but he didn't say anything.
Because he knows better that the appearance of these people here shows that they have their own strengths and can help him.
And in the eyes of these two groups of people who sat separately and were divided into civil and military forces, Zhang Jiashi's dress was not strange to many people.
He is qualified to do so, and he should do so.
Because many people know very well in their hearts that Zhang Jiashi is not only Ying Zheng's son-in-law, nor is he the youngest permanent general in Daqin now, but more importantly, if he didn't have Ying Zheng's support, he wouldn't have everything today......
