Chapter 373: The Crown Prince's Position Will Never Be Secure
"Quick! Fast! Quick!"
Zhang Gengxiao and Zhang Yunshu had just arrived at the door of the house, and without waiting for the servants to come over to tie their horses, they jumped straight down, urging loudly as they walked inside.
This urge is very urgent, like burning the eyebrows. But it's very clueless, and people don't know what to go fast.
Zhang Yibah, the housekeeper of the Linjin Marquis Mansion, was confused, he followed the two of them closely and asked loudly, "The eldest son, the second son, what are you hurrying?"
"Hurry up, get ready!" Zhang Gengmi, who is usually unusually stable, now speaks with a scoopy mouth.
"Ready?" Zhang Yiba was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, continued to follow their brother's side, and asked in a low voice, "But there was an accident in the palace, and you want our family to put on armor and prepare?"
Zhang Yibai, the housekeeper, has followed Zhang Songqi since he was a child, and he was Zhang Songqi's personal guard back then, and he was the confidant of the Linjin Marquis Mansion, and the Zhang brothers and brothers did not shy away from him at all in many things. Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Yibao thought of this, and said it to his face.
"Prepare the tribute!" Zhang Yunshu's tone was more eager than his brother's, "Go to the ancestral temple to worship!"
Zhang Yiba was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Second son, why did you go to worship the ancestral temple if you don't have a festival?" Didn't you worship during the Midyear Festival?"
Zhang Gengxiao suddenly turned around, his eyes were a little fierce, and he said in a deep tone, "That ...... Be the emperor!"
Zhang Yiba didn't understand for a while, and asked, "Which one?"
Zhang Yunshu looked at Zhang Yibah's stunned appearance, and said angrily, "Who can the fuck be?"
Zhang Yibaht instantly understood, and stammered: "Miss's ...... Your Majesty?"
I saw that the brothers of the Zhang family were almost bloodshot, and their red eyes glared at the boss, and said, "The king has finally ascended the throne today under the advice of the prince, Mr. Huangfu, and Mr. Chu, and he is the emperor of our Tang Dynasty!"
"Oh my God!" The butler, who was almost sixty, jumped up on the spot and shouted excitedly, "Ah! This...... The old slave is going to prepare!"
As he spoke, he quickly turned around and shouted to the servants behind him: "Hurry up, let all the housekeepers come to Lao Tzu to listen to the errand, and his mother's clothes will be changed into new clothes, and Lao Tzu will be cleaned inside and outside the house, and there will be a trace of dust on you!" The lantern at the door was replaced with a new one, the lion was wiped again, the dismount stakes were all brightened for Lao Tzu, and the steps were wiped with a rag. The road in front of the door is leveled, and there are no uneven places. Tell the kitchen that from today onwards, everyone will cheer up with Xinchang's official porcelain. Who dares to wilt his head and leave the house! Hurry up and set up a platform at the ancestral temple to prepare sacrifices."
The sixty-year-old man, with a loud voice, suddenly turned around again and asked loudly, "The eldest son, the second son, do you want to set up a flowing water seat?"
Zhang Gengxiao and Zhang Yunshu thought for a while, and said in unison, "Let's go!"
In these years, as long as there is a happy event for a large family, they will come out with a flowing water mat. It doesn't matter if it's a beggar who asks for food, just come to the door and say congratulations. Sit down, eat as much meat as you like, and drink as much as you like. The more people come, the more lively it becomes.
"Go, tell those restaurants on the street to stop doing business, our family has taken care of it, and let the guys in charge of them come over and make a flowing water banquet at the gate of the house! If they dare not come, they will demolish their restaurant." The butler continued to yell at the subordinates, "By the way, set off firecrackers! Set off firecrackers! Take out ten of the 10,000 firecrackers and keep putting them all the time! Find a drama troupe, and the house should be lively!"
The son-in-law of the Marquis of Linjin became the emperor. This is a great joy for the Marquis of Linjin. It is a major event with incomparably far-reaching implications.
"What are you making a fuss about?" At this time, Zhang Songqi walked into the courtyard at the main gate, and asked the Zhang brothers and his housekeeper who were walking with the wind, "What are you doing noisy?"
"Father!" Zhang Yunshu stepped forward, her voice trembling.
At the ceremony, he was just ecstatic. As soon as I got home, I was somehow happy and panicked, and my heart seemed to jump out of my cavity.
"The king has ascended the throne!" Zhang Gengxiao said.
Zhang Songqi looked at his two sons and the housekeeper indifferently, and asked rhetorically, "So what? I was there, what happened,
I don't know?"
"Eh......" Zhang Yunshu was directly asked by his old father, and he quickly explained: "Father, this king has become the emperor, but it is a great joy, my sister has also become the queen, and the prince will be born in the future, and there is no doubt that he will be a proper prince." These three joys are coming, can't we celebrate?"
Zhang Songqi was still calm, and he said, "Confused! You two are confused!"
Listening to their old father's words, the Zhang brothers were suddenly a little puzzled.
Zhang Songqi then reprimanded, "What time is it now? The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and you two should not be at home now, but in the army!"
In a word, the two Zhang brothers woke up in an instant.
Yes, at this time, the two of them are not in a hurry to be happy. His old father was one of the people who advised the king to ascend the throne, but the king's ascension to the throne was too sudden, and the situation was not as stable as they imagined. Now is not the time for them to rejoice. The garrisons around Chang'an, the city defense teams in Chang'an, and the patrol teams must be quickly sorted out and restrained.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunshu turned his head directly and said to Zhang Yibaht: "Stop the operation at home first, and call the soldiers of the Shangfu to put on armor and go to the Wuwei Army with Lao Tzu!"
Zhang Gengxiao continued: "Close the door of the mansion and refuse to accept outsiders! Tell the visiting guests, leave their names, and come to the Marquis Mansion in the future to make amends! The people in the house are not allowed to go out, let alone show off at will and get carried away!"
After repeated orders, when Zhang Yunshu went out, there was already a group of elite soldiers around him, and Jia Yezi followed with a loud noise, and he got on the horse with murderous spirits and went straight to the military camp of the Wuwei Army.
Zhang Songqi remained silent, just silently watching his two sons. Looking at Zhang Yunshu's departing back, he looked at Zhang Gengxiao and said, "How old you are, you're still so frizzy, but you're acting well."
Zhang Gengxiao said with a ashamed face: "If there was no father to remind him, my son would have almost made a big mistake."
Zhang Songqi waved his hand and said, "Who is not guilty? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. Your second brother just said that Pu'er gave birth to an heir, and he is the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty, and you also approve of it?"
When Zhang Gengxiao heard his father ask this, he chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt bad, but he still said cautiously: "Father, now there is only one little sister in this Taiji Palace, and the emperor is the only favorite, isn't it logical for this little sister to give birth to an heir and become the prince?"
Zhang Songqi glanced at his eldest son and sighed, "You, you still have less experience, your eyelids are too shallow."
Zhang Gengxiao looked puzzled, and Zhang Songqi had to say patiently: "Since ancient times, this storage position has been a very difficult thing. If you look at the Xia Shang Dynasty, how many of them were succeeded by the emperor's eldest son? What's more, the brother ends up with the younger brother, and the uncle takes the nephew. And how many families who participated in the struggle for the throne died well? I don't know how many people are dead. So even if Pu'er gives birth to the emperor's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the emperor, it doesn't mean that he can become the crown prince, and even if he becomes the crown prince, it is unknown whether he can succeed to the throne in the end."
Zhang Gengxiao said unwillingly, "Then what if we help him stabilize his position as the crown prince?"
Zhang Songqi laughed angrily, and said coldly: "Then my Linjin Marquis Mansion is not far from the day of destruction, and the position of the crown prince will never be stable, unless the emperor dies."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Gengxiao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he somewhat understood what his father meant.
