Chapter 1289: Come and Surrender
Ning Yi walked to the front of the coffin, and the coffin was not covered at this time. He stood next to the coffin, and saw Zhang Shizhao's expression calm, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, from this point of view, it didn't look like he was poisoned.
I just don't know if there are any other injuries on his body, but he doesn't want to check it.
"It's a pity that Ling Zun suddenly fell ill and died as soon as he was canonized by the imperial court." Ning Yi vaguely felt that the cause of Zhang Shizhao's death was different, and saw that Zhang Yuanyuan was not far from him, looking at him with tears in his eyes.
"My dad was finally forced to death by you, General Ning, General Ning, shouldn't you be happy?." Zhang Changxing said hatefully.
Ning Yi's face turned cold, "Second Prince Zhang, please be cautious, if I want Ling Zun to die, why bother to appease and canonize him." Now that he is dead, I have a headache, who should take over the position of general! ”
As soon as these words came out, the Zhang brothers all changed their faces slightly.
You must know that as soon as his father dies, who will be the head of the Zhang family has become the biggest problem for the Zhang family.
Now that Zhang Changzhi is a wasted person, it is impossible to fight.
It stands to reason that it should be Zhang Changxing's turn!
If Zhang Changxing is the head of the Zhang family, it is not a bad thing for Ning Yilai, this person is stupid and impulsive, and if he is slightly provoked, he will lead troops to rebel.
At that time, as long as he sends troops to kill him, he will definitely suffer countless casualties.
He looked at Zhang Yuanyuan? Among the Zhang family brothers, Zhang Changyuan is the smartest and most scheming, and he should compete for the position of the head of the Zhang family.
When Zhang Changxing heard Ning Yi say this, he regretted that he had just rushed into him. If there is Ning Yi's support, it is still very advantageous for him to get the head of the Zhang family.
"But this matter is not in a hurry, you will first handle the aftermath of Zhang's joining the army, and if you need help from the court, just ask." Ning Yi said.
"Thank you, General Nin." The sixth lady stepped forward and said.
"I'll put incense on General Zhang!" Ning Yi said.
Zhang Changyuan had already brought the plain incense, and Ning Yi was about to leave after the incense.
"Ah Yuan, you send one to General Ning." The sixth lady said.
"Yes, A-Niang."
Ning Yi glanced at the Sixth Lady and strode out.
Zhang Ajiu, who was kneeling in the crowd, glanced at Ning Yi, and his mother said that Ning Yi wanted to punish the Zhang family, was Daddy forced to death by him!
He is such a heroic character, why should he harm Daddy!
Zhang Changchang sent Ning Yi to the door of Zhang's mansion.
"General, the Zhang family has decided to defect to the imperial court, and there will never be two hearts, please general." Zhang Changchang did not forget.
"But your Zhang family has tens of millions of horses and 20,000 troops in Yunding!" Ning Yi said meaningfully.
Zhang Changyuan's heart sank and he understood what Ning Yi meant.
"Zhang Qi knows, and he will definitely give an explanation to the general in the future." Zhang Changyuan said.
Ning Yi looked at Zhang Changyuan deeply and rode away.
When he returned home, he told Jingping about Zhang Shizhao's death.
Jingping was shocked, "Zhang Shizhao looks like a strong person, how could he be so unhelpful and die like that?" ”
"I received a letter that he had planned to flee back to Yunding, and then gather all his subordinates to rebel. But today, there is news of death. Ning Yi said lightly.
"So Zhang Changchang lied, he didn't drink to death at all."
"Definitely not, I've seen Zhang Shizhao's corpse, he doesn't look like he drank to death, but he may have been poisoned. It's just that the poison is so special that ordinary people can't see it! Ning Yi said.
"Who will poison him? It must be someone close to him! Jingping said.
"Next, whoever is the head of the Zhang family is the murderer of Zhang Shizhao." Ning Yi said.
"If you talk about it, even if Zhang Changzhi is disabled, Zhang Changxing should inherit the head of the family."
"Yanyan, in the northwest, the difference between the descendants and the concubines is not important." Ning Yi said, "Many families of the powerful clan are inhabited by capable people. Zhang Changxing is stupid and dull, he doesn't know how to plan, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed the head of the Zhang family. There is also Zhang Shizhao's funeral is so important, but he doesn't see the main room of the Zhang family, but it is still the sixth lady Zhang Luo, which is also strange. ”
Ning Yi said what Zhang Changyuan said to him when he left the Zhang family.
"So Zhang Changchang killed his biological father?"
The act of killing her father was not tolerated at the end of the day, she thought that only Yuan Zhen would do such a thing in the world.
"It should be." Ning Yi said.
"At the birthday banquet that day, I think that among the brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Changchang was the most outstanding. This person is very deep, very smart, and knows how to judge the situation. As the head of the Zhang family, he must have sat down. Ning Yi said lightly.
"Brother Xiaojiu, do you want Zhang Changchang to be the head of the family?" Jingping Road.
"Yanyan, this is the Zhang family's family matter, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere. The cause of Zhang Shizhao's death is also speculation. If Zhang Changchang is willing to hand over 20,000 soldiers from Yunding, I will not spend troops and horses to unload the Zhang family's military strength, and I will only benefit from it. As long as he keeps to himself, I won't move him if he doesn't make a big mistake. Ning Yi said.
Thinking about it quietly, it's a truth. In Ning Yi's opinion, it is best not to kill people to see blood.
It's just that as long as she thinks that Zhang Changchang may kill her father, she feels that this person is poisonous and makes people shudder.
Ning Yi has been paying attention to the movements of the Zhang family, and three days later, news came from the Zhang family that Zhang Changchang sat in the position of head of the family.
What opened Ning Yi's eyes the most was that the sixth lady had already been on the card of the Zhang family's clan and was the main room of the Zhang family.
It turned out that Zhang Shizhao and the original main room had already reconciled, but there was no one in the main room, and Zhang Shizhao wrote and left the book without making it public, so that he could eat fast and recite Buddha in the Zhangjia temple.
And the sixth lady has been helped by Zhang Shizhao into the ancestral hall as the main room. If so, Zhang Changchang is a righteous son-in-law!
After that, Zhang Changxing took the initiative to retreat, and Zhang Changchang became the head of the Zhang family.
Ning Yi was very surprised when he got this news.
He also asked the deputy general Quan Shun, who was always by his side, Quan Shun was a native of Yecheng and was more familiar with the customs here.
"In the northwest, between the main sons and daughters of this family, can you be so sloppy?" Ning Yi said.
"General, there are not so many rules in the northwest, and among many gentry of the noble family, it is also very common for concubines to inherit the family business." Yecheng was originally a wild land, it was originally owned by the Yin people, and the relationship between the husband and wife of the Yin people was loose, not to mention the difference between the concubines.
These powerful and wealthy families are even less exquisite.
After Zhang Changyuan succeeded as the head of the family, he quickly set the day of Zhang Shizhao's funeral, and specially sent a letter to Ning Yi.
Ning Yi went to pay the letter as promised, Zhang Shizhao's funeral was extremely low-key, and all the people present were from the Zhang clan, but Ning Yi appeared very eye-catching.
On the day of the funeral, Zhang Changzhi and Zhang Changxing's brothers were not seen, saying that Zhang Changxing suddenly contracted a serious illness and could not send his father on his last journey.
In other words, in the past three days, after the Zhang family experienced some infighting, Zhang Changchang won.
After the burial, Zhang Changyuan immediately came to see Ning Yi.
"General, the Zhang family is willing to lead Yunding's 20,000 troops and horses to surrender to Da'an." Zhang Changyuan said.
Ning Yi was not surprised, Zhang Changyuan had revealed this intention before.
I think the reason why he revealed this intention before was that he wanted himself not to interfere in the affairs of the Zhang family. Now that the dust has settled, he has kept his promise
"General Ben is very pleased that you have such a will." Ning Yi said.
