In February of the sixth year of Jianxing, Guan Yu was buried on the side of Huiling in the southern suburbs of Chengdu and was buried in Huiling.

This is the highest etiquette belonging to the courtiers, and it has also been determined before Liu Bei's death, and the three brothers will also be buried together after their deaths. Not only Guan Yu, but also after Zhang Fei's death in the future, he will also accompany the funeral of Huiling, one left and one right to continue to support Emperor Zhaolie.

In March of the sixth year of Jianxing, after the spring ploughing, the edict of the Son of Heaven was transmitted to Chang'an, Yongzhou, and Zhang Xi was changed to Jingzhou Mu, a former general, and immediately went to Jingzhou.

After the Northern Expedition, the Son of Heaven once rewarded him, such as Wang Ping was promoted to General Anhan, Guan Ping was promoted to General Zuo, and Kou Feng was promoted to General Hou. It's a pity that Zhang Xi is still a former general.

I can't help it, it's something that has been decided a long time ago.

Because of the command problems in the early stage of the Northern Expedition, the left Feng Yi and the right Fufeng were lost, and Zhang Xi had to take responsibility.

Originally, according to Zhuge Liang's meaning, Zhang Xi was going to be demoted to General Zuo, acting as the former general, and the history of Yongzhou Thorn, but Liu Chan's unexpected insistence on this matter was just that the merits and demerits were offset, and he was not promoted or demoted.

Zhuge Liang was surprised, but then, he received a secret letter from Liu Chan and never mentioned it again.

In fact, considering this matter from Liu Chan's standpoint, it is not difficult to understand why Liu Chan insisted on doing this.

First, Liu Chan wanted to show grace to the soldiers, especially the generals who led the army outside.

Liu Chan was not the emperor immediately, and during the Northern Expedition, he was only sitting in the rear, and his sense of existence was not strong, and he had to improve his prestige through post-war rewards.

Second, in Liu Chan's view, although this Northern Expedition was not a great success, it was not a failure, at least it captured Nanyang County and had a channel to attack the Central Plains.

It seems a bit unfair to criticize the soldiers who fought in Guanzhong for this, but reward the soldiers who fought in Jingzhou.

Third, Liu Chan also needs to give grace to Zhang Xi.

is different from the second uncle, the third uncle, the father, and the uncle Zhao, who are close to him, and also different from Pang Shizhong, Fa Shangshu, these people he often comes into contact with, Zhang Xi has been fighting or guarding outside since Liu Chan had an impression, and he is basically not in Chengdu.

To put it bluntly, Liu Chan doesn't know much about Zhang Xi, and the relationship between the two is not close.

With Zhang Xi's status and connections in the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan has always wanted to envelop him, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.

Again, you can't let the new Jingzhou town guard, with the treatment after being degraded, it doesn't sound good to go to Jingzhou, others still think Jingzhou is a place to be distributed.

Based on the above considerations, Liu Chan made some changes to the content of Zhuge Liang's sparse performance.

And Zhuge Liang's evaluation of this is that the Son of Heaven is benevolent and intelligent, and he is the talent of the hero.

Hawkers, anyway, Zhuge Liang won't say anything bad about Liu Chan, plus Liu Chan does have his own reasons this time, although these reasons are not very tenable, but the Son of Heaven has his own ideas for the first time, can he still oppose it? !

It was such a pleasant decision.

In April of the sixth year of Jianxing, Zhang Xi packed up his bags, handed over the official affairs of Yongzhou, left his wife and daughter to continue to stay in Chang'an, and he took his eldest son Zhang Zheng to embark on the road to Jingzhou to take up his post.

By the way, on the same road, there is also an old man, Wang Lang.

Wang Lang was planning to enter Nanyang from Wuguan and finally transfer to Luoyang. Go home.

Yes, Wang Lang did not agree to the retention of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty in the end, nor did he become a person in his seventies who took the position of Situ of the Han Dynasty, so he could not afford to lose his life for the sake of fame and fortune.

After Wang Lang was sent to Chengdu by Zhuge Liang to meet Liu Chan, Liu Chan comprehended that he was kind to Wang Lang, and put on a look of entertaining the great Confucian, so he was not enthusiastic.

But Wang Lang is not good at stubble, everyone knows what the other party needs, so Wang Lang stayed in Chengdu for a few months, and he really focused on lecturing, and by the way, he harvested a wave of popularity from the Shuzhong family.

As soon as he talked about the matter of being an official in the Han Dynasty, Wang Lang directly fooled him.

In the end, the war ended and the situation was settled, but Wang Lang still found an opportunity to ask the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to let him return to his hometown.

There's no way, his family is in Luoyang, he can't die of old age in Chengdu alone.

Liu Chan is not a ruthless master, after asking Zhuge Liang's opinion, after leaving Wang Lang for the New Year, he still personally presented the horse frame and sent Wang Lang back to Luoyang.

Anyway, the Han side has always treated Wang Lang with courtesy, and Wang Lang's trip to Chengdu, the Han also showed the world an attitude of respecting the sage, if Wang Lang really wants to leave, instead of forcing him to stay, it is better to show his bearing and let people go back.

Next, the pressure came to Cao Wei's side. Of course, that's an afterthought.

In short, because Wang Lang was going back to Luoyang, and Zhang Xi was going to Jingzhou to take up his post, Zhuge Liang arranged for Wang Lang to go with Zhang Xi.

Take Wang Lang away, Zhang Xi doesn't have any opinions. Although there was a verbal cannon in front of the two armies, after all, the two sides did not turn their faces, and the relationship was reasonable.

Moreover, along the way, Wang Lang seems to like Xiao Zheng'er a lot, and he will tease Xiao Zheng'er if he has nothing to do, or he will test Xiao Zheng'er's knowledge Although Wang Lang's personality is not good, his knowledge is indeed the top in the world, Zhang Xi saw that there was such a good thing, so he didn't stop it.

Then, things took a turn for the worse.

One morning when he was resting in Wuguan, Wang Lang suddenly visited Zhang Xi and said very seriously, "The old man has a granddaughter, who is fourteen years old, and she is quite compatible with Ling Lang."

After that, the old man chattered a lot, but Zhang Xi couldn't listen to it anymore.

What does it mean?!

The old man wants to propose marriage to his son?!

No, teaching learning belongs to teaching learning, why do you have to pay for your son. Uh, it doesn't seem right, it's my son on my side, and the girl on the old man's side, right?!

It seems that my son is taking advantage of it?!!

But if you think about it carefully, things are not right, this old man, can he be so kind?!

And in these years, although it is said that powerful people can marry concubines, there is only one wife, and the old man with a huge status gap between wives and concubines will definitely not give his granddaughter to be a concubine.

If you are a wife, then you need to think about it carefully.

Zhang Xi is not a novice when he first crossed twenty years ago, and the meaning of the wife has been very profound. It can be said that in this era, to a certain extent, the rights and status of the wife are really not lower than that of women in later generations.

Really, some women don't have to envy the Republic of China, and you don't have to wear it on TV to find out that the women of our Han Dynasty have a high status.

The women of the Han Dynasty really don't have to rely on men to live, in some special time, the men don't use it, and the women of the Han Dynasty can support a family.

From the royal family to the Li Min, examples abound, although many situations are forced to be helpless, but women can really be the masters of the house, and men have no right to interfere.

Of course, only for the main wife, the status of the concubine does not know where to be low.

Therefore, a wife is very important for a man, and choosing a good wife is also a very important thing in this era.

Wang Lang's granddaughter, in terms of social status and political resources, is really a very good choice.

Wang Lang is recognized as a great Confucian, and Zhang Xi's family, although Zhang Xi himself is famous all over the world, he is from a poor family after all.

If the Yingchuan Zhang family continues to maintain such a momentum of development since Zhang Xi, and there are talents in each generation, then after three or five generations, the Yingchuan Zhang family will also become a big family, but now, after all, it is the meaning of shortcomings.

But if Zhang Xi can marry Wang Lang and form a kinship with the Wang family of the East China Sea, although he will not become a wealthy family for a while, he can also save a lot of development time.

From a reasonable point of view, Zhang Xi has no reason to refuse this kind of benefit sent to the door.

But. Zhang Xi always felt that this old man's proposal was not so simple.

As for Zhang Xi's suspicion, Wang Lang just smiled slightly, and then went straight to the showdown.

"The Han Dynasty captured Wancheng, and the Central Plains of Sili was in jeopardy, and the old man was getting more and more unable to see it!" Wang Lang sighed and said, "The old man has to think about the future of the Wang family, right?!" ”

The meaning is very clear, and it is also the common thinking of the family in this era, and the old man now feels that Dawei may not really be able to dominate the world, so the Wang family can't put all his eggs in one basket.

But Zhang Xi still has a question. Why yourself?!

"First, the old man really likes Xiao Zheng'er very much, if it weren't for this selfishness, the old man would have the heart to accept Xiao Zheng'er as a closed disciple." Wang Lang smiled and watched Xiao Zheng'er playing, and said to Zhang Xi.

Well, Zhang Xi is an old man who recognizes it, although his mind is complicated and his stomach is full of crooked ideas, his way of getting along with Xiao Zheng'er is still very normal, just like a kind old man.

"Second. With your ability to grow in Zhang Yuan, no matter who wins the world in the future, he will definitely treat you well. My granddaughter married to Zhang's wife, which can be regarded as a way out for me, a grandfather, who planned for her. ”

When he said this, Wang Lang finally became a little more serious.

"Third. The old man was old and frail, and he suffered this hardship, and when he returned to Dawei this time, he had no face to hold any official position again. Although the dog has a reputation, he can ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, but he is afraid that his career will be burdened by the old man, if there is no one else to carry him, I am afraid that there is no hope for life The old man does not want the bastard boy to fall to the point of selling his daughter for glory, it is better to set a marriage for his granddaughter first, cut off his thoughts, and take the name of the whole Wang family. ”

Well. When the old man said this, Zhang Xi completely understood.

In this way, when Zhang Xi and Wang Lang separated in Wancheng, Xiao Zhenger had an additional fiancée named Wang Yuanji.

Hawkers, Zhang Xi can only hope that his future daughter-in-law will not use darts as a fan
