The Hai family had a lot of food at the banquet, and they only needed to deal with it casually for dinner. However, everyone has eaten a lot of melons at the banquet today, and they need to digest it well. Haixiya wanted to discuss things with his cousin Xie Wenzai and Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian, and Ma wanted to rest, and the two drove the children out of the main house early.

Haitang went back to the house to change her clothes, and then went to the east wing of the main courtyard to find her brother. She's gathered a lot of information today, and she needs to talk to the reef students.

The brother and sister sat across a low table on the kang by the window, drinking tea and exchanging information in a low voice.

Haitang sorted out his experience in the Zhenguo Mansion and told his brother the main points of extraction, and even Zhou Wenjun told Peng Yuqi that the latter's father was very likely to be transferred to other places by the imperial court.

Haijiao nodded: "My grandfather and I were at the banquet in front of us, and I also heard many people talking about this matter. Although there are not many people in the city who know the news at the moment, the Zhenguo Mansion should have talked to many people in private. Most of the generals who had the hope of being transferred were willing to leave the northwest and try their skills outside. Although some people are worried that they will be troubled by the Sun family's henchmen after leaving the northwest, they really don't want to let go of the opportunity to break through.

"If someone can rise to Beijing and win a place in the imperial court, the situation in the northwest will be much better in the future. Just hoping that a scholar from the northwest can be admitted to the Jinshi, stay in Beijing as an official, and then rise to a position where he can speak in the court, the hope is too slim. Even if an official from the northwest has real talent and learning, and his political performance is not bad, Sun Ge's old faction will deliberately suppress him and prevent him from having the opportunity to enter the court. In the past, many officials have experienced this kind of thing, and Chang'an knows it. ”

Haitang nodded: "Sister Wenjun also said that this is what Zhen Guogong thinks, and if there is an opportunity to push his own people outside to serve, then you must not miss it." Even if the Zhou family splits up after that, the family's momentum weakens, but the descendants will live more stable. Even if something really happens, it's not so easy to be crushed. ”

Hai Jiao frowned and said, "If this is the right approach, then why didn't the Zhou family do it in the previous life?" ”

Haitang thinks that the Zhou family still did this in their previous life, didn't the Zhenguo Mansion move to the capital? It's also a disguised separation, right? The Zhenguo Mansion, which had lost its military power, seemed to be in decline, and the whole family moved into Beijing and became an ordinary military general. Although the Sun family did not bother them a lot, they did not pay attention to the Zhou family in Chang'an.

In fact, there are still a large number of children of the Zhou family who are still serving in the Northwest Frontier Army. Leaving the Yanzhi, they did not lose their position. Among the generals who were in charge of the border army in the future, in addition to Sun Yonglu, the embroidered pillow, it was the old department of the Zhou family that was really in charge. And a large number of old departments of the Zhou family hold the real power of the Northwest Frontier Army's David and Qianhu offices, and they are still taking care of the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family. Who said that the Zhou family would no longer have influence in the Northwest Frontier Army because of the loss of the Shuai Yin?

Haitang said: "The Zhou family's experience in the last life is worse than now, and now General Zhou and General Wednesday have not had an accident, and Du Boqin and the Sun family have not succeeded in hurting the younger generation of the Zhou family's descendants." The relationship between the Zhou family and the emperor was somewhat relaxed, and the emperor was willing to send outstanding generals from the northwest frontier army to serve in other regions. It's much better than in the previous life. It is natural that the Zhou family will have different plans. ”

Think about the reef too. He said again: "The general of the Tang family...... I probably really want to go to the capital. The Tang family did not do much in private. It's a pity that this matter depends on how the court makes the order, if the emperor doesn't pick him, it is useless to let the Tang family do anything in Chang'an. However, at this time, he has no interest in the Chang'an avant-garde, and when he meets the commander of the Yan'an guard during the banquet, he can still make fun of people, which is not at all as tense as when he met the other party before. ”

When Haitang heard this, he talked about the rumor that General Thursday might become the commander of the Chang'an avant-garde: "As soon as I heard about it, I knew that it was false, and I don't know who made it up. ”

The reef had heard such rumors during the banquet. Most people, whether they were sincere or false, said that they didn't believe it, and some people questioned the commander of Yan'an Wei and his family, thinking that this kind of rumor may have been spread by them, in order to sow discord between the Zhou family and the Tang family, and take advantage of the fisherman.

However, when my grandfather Hai Xiya discussed it privately with his acquaintances, he felt that this kind of thing could not have been done by the commander of Yan'an Wei.

Their family is also a family of generals in Chang'an, although they have always actively sought good official positions for their children and relatives, but they will never use this kind of means that cannot be put on the table. What's going on behind the scenes...... They can't do it, and they don't have to.

The Yan'an Wei Commander has outstanding talents, qualifications and merits, even if he can't be the Chang'an avant-garde commander, he will still have a good future. An elder of their family has been in the position of guard commander in Chang'an for nearly ten years, and he is about to die, so it is a big deal to retire a year or two early to make room for the younger generations of the family. They didn't risk offending the Zhenguo Mansion for the sake of a small guard commander.

Haitang was a little puzzled: "Who released this rumor?" Except for Mrs. Tuesday, who was easily fooled, everyone else knew that it was fake when they heard it. What is the purpose of putting such rumors? ”

Hai Jiao said: "Grandpa and several people in the Dusi Yamen suspect that this is Du Boqin and the minions of the Sun family who are making trouble, in order to provoke the contradiction between the second and fourth rooms within the Zhou family, and then let the Zhou and Tang families have a gap." ”

Although after Du Boqin was arrested by the Dusi Yamen before, he also found out the intelligence network he helped the Sun family establish in Chang'an, and the eyes and ears that the Sun family had planted and bought in various Jiangmen families were found, but no one dared to guarantee that this intelligence network had been cleaned up.

Most of the people in the intelligence network don't know who they are working for, and they are only being used for a little money, but who knows if there are any henchmen and cronies sent by the Sun family? It is very likely that such people are extremely hidden, and even Du Boqin may not know about their existence, and only obey the orders of the Sun family and contact them alone. Perhaps, it was because of the previous eradication of the intelligence network and the arrest of Du Boqin that they had a desire for revenge, so they deliberately spread rumors and sow discord?

Haijiao once heard someone tell Haixi Cliff that as soon as the Zhenguo Mansion heard about the rumors, they immediately sent someone to investigate, and now they only know that although many officials and generals have heard the rumors, the matter should have been spread in the circle of servants in the inner house at first. The servants heard the news somewhere, and reported it to their mistresses, and then the news reached the ears of the men and the ladies of other families.

It sounds very much like what the Sun family has planted in various houses.

It's a pity that there are too many servants involved, and most of them are famous families in Chang'an, and the commander of the Shaanxi Dusi is old and sick, and the commander is the general who temporarily sits in Chang'an's avant-garde, and the other commander does not want to offend too many people, so this matter has not been concluded for the time being.

The rumors are gone, and most people won't believe them when they hear them, but Mrs. Tuesday believes it. This incident will probably make the Duchess of Zhenguo feel a little embarrassed, and she is afraid that she does not want to believe that her own niece can be so stupid.

Haitang smiled: "It's not just this one thing that Mrs. Tuesday is stupid. She originally tried her best to promote the eldest lady of the Tang family to marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, but today, for some reason, she suddenly proposed to Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi to marry, but unfortunately, by mistake, we broke the wishful thinking......"
