Chapter 21: Father and Son's Night Talk
Approaching evening, Zou Guogong and Zhang Gongjin's mansion was full of people and the lights were bright.
A group of veterans were led by Li Ji, and under them sat Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and the alien general Ashina Sheer; What is the power of the contract......
The civil officials were headed by Fang Xuanling, and next to them sat the eldest grandson Wuji, the ancient Jing Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Xiao Yu and others.
The two groups of people sat in the front hall of Zou Guogong's mansion distinctly, and the cases in front of each of them were covered with food and wine.
The generals exchanged heads and scolded and swore one after another, and burst into bursts of heroic laughter from time to time.
The civil officials were much more reserved, and everyone was talking in a whisper, hearing a group of military generals full of foul language, and couldn't help but glance at the military generals with disgust.
The scene in the front hall is only a small microcosm of the huge Guogong Mansion that occupies an area today.
In addition, the front yard of the Guogong Mansion, which covers an area of more than ten acres, is full of flowing water, and all the guests who come to congratulate are seated in the front yard.
On the Suzaku Street in front of the Guogong Mansion, there are more than two miles of dishes, and some neighbors send a basket of eggs to congratulate the Zhang family Xiaolang Jun and the county man.
Some hold a piece of home-cured bacon in their hands, and some hold two chicks in their hands.
The housekeeper Lao Zhou did not refuse, his oily and slippery face was full of red light, the descendants of the main family could have a future, how could he not be happy as the elder of the Guogong Mansion.
If nothing else, his life, as well as his children and grandchildren, are tied to the Zou State Mansion, and the more prominent the main family, the more their wealth can be endless.
"Oh, this Zhang Jiashilang is only fifteen years old now, and he will be knighted, and there is another lord in the Guogong Mansion, which is amazing."
"Zhang Jiashilang is still an old man, and he grew up, and he woke up when he was young, and the old man already knew that Zhang Jiashiro couldn't be a simple person."
"Let me tell you, Zhang Shilang, I hugged him when I was a child, and the old man just took it and urinated on the old man's chest. Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that Xiaolang is destined to be the marquis of the Jinluan Palace, how can an old man be held by ordinary people, this soak in urine, not wronged, really not wronged hahaha. ”
"Hahahaha, thank you for coming to congratulate Xiao Langjun of the Guogong Mansion in your busy schedule, the main family has prepared a little thin wine, and I also invite you to take a seat, everyone eats and drinks well." The housekeeper Lao Zhou listened to the whispers of the villagers, laughed so much that his little tongue trembled, and said loudly to the neighbors who came to congratulate.
……
In the study of Zhangfu, which was illuminated by a huge butter candle, it was like daylight, and one person was sitting with a long beard under his chin.
The other was lying on a blanket of pure sheep wool imported from Persia in the Western Regions and hand-woven with gold thread as bone. From time to time, he reached out and clasped his buttocks in severe pain.
The person who was sitting in danger was Zhang Gongjin, the founding prince of the dynasty who had returned home from Zuo Xiaowei.
And lying opposite Zhang Gongjin is naturally the protagonist of today's huge scene in the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Zheng and Zhang Jue, who have just been upgraded to a man from Weinan County.
The Guogong Mansion outside the study was full of people, but the gloomy faces of the father and son in the study were incompatible with the jubilant Guogong Mansion.
"Your Majesty suddenly knighted you, I'm afraid this move has another meaning." Zhang Gongjin woke up from his contemplation and said to the youngest son in front of him.
"The child is also puzzled, no, as soon as you come back, the child will hurry up to ask you for advice." Zhang Zheng pouted and said.
This is not nonsense, who doesn't know that His Majesty has another deep meaning, just after the accident was caught in the palace and beaten, and after the beating, he was sent home, and the holy decree of the knighthood came immediately behind the buttocks.
What is this, beating a stick to give a sweet date?
Zhang Gongjin rarely ignored Zhang Zheng's rude attitude, and continued to ask: "How did you have a grudge with the lord of Gaochang?" ”
"How can you settle a grudge, that's it, how can you still grudge?" Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes.
Zhang Gongjin didn't seem to see Zhang Zheng's white eyes, muttered to himself, and said: "No matter how you settle grudges, from now on, you must no longer embarrass people from Gao Changlai." Tomorrow I will visit the lord of Gaochang for my father, and make amends to him for you. ”
"Ah, make amends, the child was whipped by His Majesty today, and the reparation will be forgiven. What's more, that guy is just the lord of a small country in the distant Western Regions, why should my father be so solemn. ”
Zhang Zheng exploded when he heard it, he was so hurt that he was beaten today, a small country, his father still has to go to make amends with him, when did the Zou Guogong Mansion have no face?
Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said: "A Gaochang lord is naturally not worried, but I'm afraid things are not so simple, whether my father suspects the lord of Gaochang, or your inexplicable knighthood today, maybe it's just a part of Your Majesty's plan." ”
When Zhang Zheng heard his father say this, he was shocked, what kind of bureau is Li Er arranged?
To say that Jiang is still old and spicy, compared with the ignorant Zhang Zheng, Zhang Gongjin, who has been up and down in the sea for decades, has a keen perception of the changes in the direction of politics and does not know how many times stronger than Zhang Zheng.
After noticing that the wind was not in the right direction, he immediately made a decision that was most conducive to the development of the situation in the future.
"Father doesn't know what His Majesty is arbulating?" Zhang Zheng asked curiously, you must know that Zhang Gongjin is Li Shimin's hardcore confidant.
"There's speculation, but it's not certain." Zhang Gongjin's eyes flickered and replied.
"You don't even know?" Zhang Zheng was stunned and said in surprise.
"Our majesty has a splendid chest, and it is not as simple as you imagined." Zhang Gongjin said slowly.
"Your Majesty also made you an official, right?"
"Yes, what is it called, and there is a prince who doesn't know if it's an official, Dad, does our Tang still have this official position, why has the child never heard of it before?"
"Yes, Xuande Lang, Zhengqipin Wensanguan." Zhang Gongjin nodded and said.
"Wen Sanguan, isn't our family a family of military generals? Why did Your Majesty give me a civil and prose official? Zhang Zheng was curious, Zhang Gongjin was the official to General Zuo Xiaowei, and he was also the governor of Daizhou, but the governor of Daizhou was a remote leader, so he didn't have to go to Daizhou to take office.
It can be said that the Zhang family's influence in the Tang Dynasty army is not ordinary, and his three elder brothers are also military officials, how did they become civilian officials?
Zhang Gongjin didn't explain, and said to Zhang Zheng in a changed voice: "You don't have to worry about these things, just wait for Your Majesty's next moves." ”
"Yes, the boy understands." Dad revealed so much, Zhang Zheng also had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't ask his doubts face-to-face, so he agreed.
"Since Your Majesty has given you the honor of the prince's attendant, tomorrow you will go to the East Palace to enter the study to accompany the prince to study, and I will do everything else." Zhang Gongjin continued.
"Ah, tomorrow, but my ass hurts." When Zhang Zheng heard this, he was immediately unhappy, didn't he see that his buttocks were blurred with flesh and blood?
"It's okay, the old man will send someone to carry you to the East Palace." Zhang Gongjin returned to his appearance of not approaching, and said to Zhang Zheng mercilessly.
