Zhang Youxin said: "I don't agree. ”

Zhang Youxin said this sentence almost unconsciously, his mood was extremely complicated at the moment, he was at a loss without direction, he didn't know who to vent his anger, the bitterness accumulated over the years of competing with the genius cousin in front of him, all kinds of emotions were accumulated in his chest, but there was no ease that the enemy would go.

Zhang Boqian was slightly stunned, and did not expect that the first person to object would be Zhang Youxin.

Zhang Youxin glared at him and repeated, "I don't agree." When these four words were clearly spit out again, Zhang Youxin suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief, and his slightly distorted face returned to normal, as if he had regained the steady and gentle demeanor of the eldest son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Boqian's face was as usual, he thought for a while, and said, "Big brother, if the Zhang family can produce a marshal, it will be more in line with the interests of the family." ”

Zhang Youxin's eyes moved slightly, listening to Zhang Boqian's meaning, giving up the position of heir is ambitious for the position of marshal of the empire.

Marshal is the highest military position in Great Qin, and it has the fact of splitting the territory and sealing the territory, so the head of a family with five surnames like Zhang has never been able to serve as marshal at the same time. And Zhang Boqian is a general of the national pillar at a young age, and his combat power is among the best, with the speed at which he usually grabs military merits, Zhang and his mother Wang have a strong background, and have excellent conditions for reaching the top in the military.

Could it be that he made a choice between the position of marshal and the head of the family?

Zhang Youxin's mind was already clear at the moment, and he was not persuaded by this reason. In fact, with this cousin's usual unruly style and temperament, he actually sat on the opposite side honestly and threw out an explanation that was in line with the interests of the family, and his only feeling was that there must be a demon when things go wrong.

In Zhang's generation, only Zhang Boqian can really threaten Zhang Youxin's position as the heir.

Even though many people think that Zhang Boqian's character is not suitable for becoming the head of the family, but the family rules of Zhang's glory millennium are placed there, and the rules of heir selection are placed there, Zhang Boqian's strength lies in the fact that the points obtained by force alone make up for all the shortcomings, and he is on a par with Zhang Youxin, leaving other candidates far behind.

Regardless of whether others are convinced or not, Zhang Youxin himself is not jealous or resentful of the situation caused by Zhang Boqian, even if his hard work and efforts since childhood are likely to be in vain because of this cousin. Because he knows what a heavy price comes at a cost behind this scenery.

Zhang's inheritance method was unique among the imperial families, and one family and four princes implemented the system of "borrowing". Just like the head of the Zhang family, no matter which line he is from, he will get the title of Duke of Hui, and the other three dukes are the same, not only the sons and daughters of the Duke of Guo can inherit, all the children of this line have the opportunity to fight.

The advantages and disadvantages of the "borrowing" system are also prominent, the Zhang family has stood for thousands of years, no matter how the ranking of the five surname families changes, its hidden first time is far more than the other four, but the Zhang family is also the only one that has been a large-scale division of the top grade family. However, it is unbelievable that not only has the Zhang family not been demoted, but even the Haobei Zhang family, which has been separated, has become among the top in just a hundred years.

As for Zhang Boqian becoming a posthumous son, it can also be said that he is a victim of the "borrowing" system. Compared with other ethnic groups, Dan Guogong's lineage is a little thin, Zhang Boqian's father is an only son, the relationship between husband and wife is very good, and he has no children and is unwilling to take concubines, until middle age, the wife has just become pregnant. So some people who can't wait for the wrong mind have moved behind their backs.

After the incident, the elders of the Zhang family knew very clearly that this wind could not be long, and at the same time, in order to appease the family of the Duchess of Danguo, the Wang family, they broke the routine and directly asked for the position of the son of the world for the newborn Zhang Boqian.

But such a warning is just a warning, and Zhang's internal purge only punishes the first evil and punishes the accomplices, and it is impossible to really wipe out the household.

Born noble, for Zhang Boqian, it is difficult to say good or bad. For example, how he went to the Huangquan training camp when he was eight years old is still a knot in the hearts of the Zhang and Wang families. Fortunately, Zhang Boqian is extremely talented and has grown faster than everyone expected.

However, the astonishing talent, coupled with the unruly character, and those unspeakable past events, have now slowly become a hidden worry of the Zhang family, and many elders are worried that such Zhang Boqian will one day cause the second division of the Zhang family.

If Zhang Boqian turns to the position of marshal and automatically gives up the protagonist, almost everyone will celebrate with the crown, which seems to be a perfect ending.

Probably only Zhang Youxin can't accept it, he would rather lose clearly than win in a daze. Moreover, as a competitor for many years, he is one of the very few people who thinks that Zhang Boqian is not necessarily suitable for the position of the head of the Zhang family.

People in the world always like to compare Zhang Boqian with another empire, so as to come to the conclusion that "there is more courage than strength, but less strategy", but people have never found that except for Lin Xitang, Zhang Boqian has never lost to anyone.

The first person to break the deadlock was actually Zhang Boqian, who said flatly: "Big brother, I need your support." ”

Zhang You smiled bitterly, the words support are heavy, and he looks up to him too much, as long as Zhang Boqian sends this decision back to his family, the elders will definitely make it in the shortest possible time. "Does my aunt know your decision?"

Zhang Boqian smiled lightly, "Mother should be happy to see me inherit the Danguo Gong, she has never had high expectations." ”

Zhang Youxin said abruptly: "Then you go back with me, such a big thing, you have to explain it to your aunt in person, right?"

Zhang Boqian said: "Big brother, I have already applied when I met His Majesty this afternoon, and I have received permission, and the official knighthood will be awarded in the next two days. And I'm going to leave for a place tonight, and in the meantime, I want you to control the army under the name of the Duke of Dan for me, and that team will reach the northwest coordinates of the Xiyin Corridor within three days. ”

Zhang Youxin suddenly heard that Zhang Boqian had attacked the lord silently, and he only felt dizzy for a while, and the emperor even gave him the national soldier talisman, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for return.

At this time, Zhang Youxin suddenly realized that the support that Zhang Boqian said before was not to inherit or seek military power, but to control the army, and Zhang Boqian had obviously planned something a long time ago.

Zhang Youxin's heart was beating wildly, and he said in a deep voice: "What did Wang Xie Ting promise you? Is it worth you to gamble with your inheritance?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be angry and surprised, he hurried this time to remind Zhang Boqian to stay away from Wang Xie Ting, but Zhang Boqian was involved much deeper than he imagined.

Zhang Boqian lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "It was the King of Linjiang who gave me the northwest coordinates, according to him, the latest fortune of the Heavenly Mechanics calculated that Lin Xitang's whereabouts were in that position, but I think they were mistaken." I'm going to look somewhere else, but there might be some surprises at that coordinate. ”

Zhang Youxin suddenly clenched his palms into fists, and his palms were wet with sweat. His maternal family is also the Wang family, and he is closer to Zhang Boqian and Wang Xie Ting's bloodline, and he knows a lot about the broken things in the Xiyin Corridor this time, and because of this, he vaguely guessed what Zhang Boqian wanted to do.

Zhang Boqian said lightly: "Big brother, you know what happened in the Xiyin Corridor, right?"
