Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 428 An Era Is Over
Cao Yuanshen was directly pulled up when he was sleeping at home.

When he saw that it was Cao Yanlu, Cao Yuanshen became even more furious, grabbing the jug beside him and was about to throw Cao Yanlu.

'Snapped! '

However, Cao Yuanshen's jug was smashed with a horizontal knife without being thrown out.

Broken porcelain pieces and the remaining wine were sprayed all over Cao Yuanshen's head and face.

This Mr. Cao Erlang was stunned. He finally saw clearly that behind Cao Yanlu was not the soldiers of the Cao family, but a few handsome guys in brocade clothes.

The man in brocade who smashed his flagon looked at Cao Yuanshen playfully.

Cao Yuanshen suddenly realized that this is the envoy in brocade clothes, and it was Zhang Zhao who came to arrest him!
Cao Yuan was stunned, thinking that Zhang Zhao didn't dare to do anything to him, that Zhang Zhao was ashamed of the Cao family and the Zhang family's family. Cao Yuan was stunned, and then a look of fear inevitably surfaced on his face.

"Hurry up and write to Eleven Niang, and write to Nineteen Niang, Cao Liu, are you out of your mind? Dare to bring Zhang Erlang's men to arrest your uncle?" Cao Yuanshen roared with a guilty conscience.

Eleven Niang is the daughter of Cao Yuanshen who was married to Yin Yaozi by Zhang Zhao. Cao Yuanshen usually dislikes Yin Yaozi the son-in-law the most, but now she thinks about it.

For Nineteen Niang who married Zhang Zhao, Cao Yuanshen used to look down on him in every possible way, but now it seems that he still knows in his heart who can save his life.

Facing Cao Yuanshen who was forcibly stern, Cao Yanlu, who had been patient with him, couldn't bear it anymore.

This Cao Yuanshen was in Dunhuang, apart from saying some words of resentment towards Zhang Zhao, he also made arrangements for his father Cao Yuanzhong.

Of course, Cao Yanlu was more afraid that Cao Yuanshen would continue to speak out, and say something else that shouldn't be said.

With a loud shout, he quickly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, and slashed downward.

This knife was shot with hatred, and the castration was extremely fast, directly killing Cao Yuanshen's body.
Hu Zhuang cut a huge groove, and the broken sawdust even splashed on Cao Yuanshen's face.

"Is Shifu going to make our Cao family suffer the same as you? You dare to say nonsense words of resentment. If that's the case, you might as well end it yourself. So as not to implicate your descendants!"

Cao Yuanshen was frightened directly, seeing Cao Yanlu who was always happy with him and would persuade him from time to time, Cao Yuanshen felt it for the first time.

Things may not be as simple as he thought, and Zhang Zhao is not as indecisive as he thought.

By the time the pale-faced Cao Yuanshen was escorted over, there were already twenty or thirty people kneeling in Qingyuan Palace, all of whom were frustrated members of the Cao and Zhang families.

Originally, when Cao Yijin was here, they were all in power in the Yamen of the Guiyi Army.

When Zhang Zhao was replaced, their hopes that Zhang Zhao would arrange them everywhere as governors and other high-ranking officials were completely vain. Zhang Zhao even gave them the official position in Shazhou.

In fact, it is normal for them to have resentment.

However, Zhang Zhao cannot be blamed for this. If they are really capable, Zhang Zhao has no reason to refuse the service of these close relatives!
He is in the initial stage, close relatives are always more reliable than outsiders.

But these Zhang family and Cao family are too helpless to support the wall.

The older generation is lethargic, and the middle-aged generation is a dog.

Most of the younger generation grew up in Dunhuang, where the religious atmosphere is fanatical. They have no military power, and the ability to read and write is all based on Buddhist scriptures, and few of them are really useful.

Zhang Zhao glanced at Cao Yuanshen. Ever since he traveled across, Cao Yuanshen had not given him a good impression, and now he almost single-handedly led the resentful crowd in Dunhuang.

Although he couldn't be killed, Zhang Zhao was ready to give him some color.

Yin Yaozi shouldn't have been allowed to marry Cao Yuanshen's daughter in the first place, otherwise, Zhang Zhao really wanted to kill this guy.

When Cao Yuanshen was glanced at by Zhang Zhao, his whole body turned cold. Only then did he realize that Zhang Zhao was no longer the handsome Zhang Jia Erlang in his impression.

Instead, he became an extremely majestic and cold-eyed superior, a real king who controlled the lives of millions of people.

"There are no outsiders here, they are all close relatives of my Zhang Erlang, so you might as well be more direct when you speak, don't you keep saying that I won't give you the chance to be an official?"

As Zhang Zhao clapped his hands, the servant opened the gate of Qingyuan Palace. Everyone saw that there were swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hammers, bows and crossbows outside, as well as some precious white paper.

"The assessment outside is exactly the same as the civil and military imperial examinations held in Liangzhou. You are asked to take the scientific examination, but you don't go.

I want to take a look now to see how talented you are?Make you feel so buried.

Guo Tiance, you preside over it, I will give them an extra imperial examination, recruit all the males over 12 years old from these families, and let them take the exam.

Regardless of whether they choose essays, martial arts, or farming, as long as one of them passes the examination, they will be awarded officials immediately, and those who fail the examination, hehe! "

Zhang Zhao snorted a few times, "Then don't blame XX for not caring about family affection. Anyone who fails is cheating the emperor. Each person will give me twenty sticks."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao looked at a trembling old man and said.

"Don't panic, Uncle Tang. Erlang knows you are old and weak, so he won't beat you if you fail the exam."

The old man tried his best to put on a smiling face, and was about to thank him, when Zhang Zhao's face changed, and he raised his voice and roared angrily.

"But Shi Lang and Shi Qi Lang are in good health. Let them do the work for the twenty sticks. Anyone who is over 40 years old will follow the same example."

As soon as these words came out, the older ones breathed a sigh of relief, but the faces of the younger generation turned ashen. They knew in their hearts that at least one person would not be able to escape if they were beaten once.

Cao Yuanshen breathed a sigh of relief, aside from the fact that he always likes to complain and doesn't respect Zhang Zhao very much, his knowledge is still good, at least it is not a problem to pass a math subject.

However, when Cao Yuansheng felt a little more at ease, Zhang Zhaoyi looked back at him and said with a half-smile.

"I know that my second cousin has a great talent, and I heard that you are in Dunhuang, and you often compare yourself with the left and the right.

That being the case, the second cousin should not take the exam and wait until he returns to Liangzhou.I will personally test and teach you. "

Zhang Zhao's word "examination and teaching" has a bit of gnashing of teeth, and it sounds like it is burnt.

Cao Yuanshen was really a little scared at this time, he knew that Zhang Zhao would not spare him easily, so he dared to burn him.

While they were talking, all the men who participated in the small group of Cao Yuanshen and Zhang Anxin were brought to Qingyuan Palace one after another.

However, the family of Zhang Anxin who had the most trouble with Cao Yuanshen didn't come. Zhang Zhaozheng was puzzled, and Li Xiaojie hurried over.

As soon as he saw Zhang Zhao, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said in a low voice.

"My Majesty, when I went to Zhang Anxin's home, before I had time to communicate, he locked the four doors tightly, as if he was about to resist.

Before the ministers could gather the troops of the Seventh Battalion to arrive at the scene, there were cries and shouts from inside the house. Zhang Anxin, his two sons, Long Jiu and Liang Zhen, had hanged themselves. "

Zhang Zhao smacked his mouth, but was also speechless for a long time, this piece of An Xin was actually not his blood relative, but Zhang Zhao's Long Snake Zhang Family and Shazhou Zhang Family's combined clan.

In other words, Zhang Anxin is actually a member of the Zhang family in Shazhou, and has no blood relationship with Zhang Zhaozai.

It may also be because of this relationship that Zhang Anxin knew that there was not so much family affection between him and Zhang Zhao.

So when the envoy in brocade clothes arrived, he killed himself because of fear.

To be honest, Zhang Zhao didn't understand why such a group of people existed in the world?

He obviously doesn't have much ability, but he feels that he has the talents of the world, and he feels that he has a great ability but has not displayed it. He looks down on this and that.

When you are behind someone's back, you dare to say anything, but once you need to face confrontation, or when danger comes, you often choose the most impulsive and irresponsible way.

This kind of person seems to be well-informed by his boastful talk, but he is actually incompetent and irresponsible.

Since Cao Yuanshen was relatively close to Zhang Zhao, he also heard the news of Zhang Anxin's suicide. He was a little scared at the beginning, but at this moment he couldn't hold on anymore.

This Mr. Cao Erlang fell to the ground with a plop, and he knew in his heart that if this continues, it is very likely that no one will bleed.

And once someone bleeds, it can't be easily taken back with the sharp blade of massacre.

However, his life should not be terminated. At this critical moment, Cao Yanjing, who had been keeping a filial piety for Cao Yuande in Dunhuang, ran over.

He didn't even have time to visit, so he shouted at Zhang Zhao.

"My lord, please go to Li's house in the west of the city quickly, I'm afraid the great-grandmother of the fourteenth aunt will die!"

Zhang Zhao didn't care about other things when he heard it, and only let Guo Tiance continue to be responsible for these guys' scientific research here, while he quickly got on his horse and galloped away to the west of the city with Cao Yanjing.

The fourteenth great-grandmother Cao Yanjing spoke of was Zhang Zhao's fourteenth great-aunt, Li Cunhui's first-line great-grandmother, Zhang Yichao's fourteenth daughter, Zhang Lishi, who married General Li Mingzhen of the Guiyi Army.

When Zhang Zhaofei arrived, Li Cunhui and his father Li Shaozong had already fallen to the ground crying.

Zhang Lishi was lying on the Hu bed, except for the slight ups and downs of his chest, he was no different from a dead person.

Zhang Zhao walked over slowly, put his hand on Zhang Li's forehead, and gently called the only surviving dear aunt.

Don't look at Mrs. Zhang Li who is dying at this moment, she is already thin and only sixty to seventy catties, just like an ordinary old lady.

But Zhang Zhao knew that her life was not easy. As Zhang Yichao's favorite young girl, when Zhang Lishi was five years old, Zhang Yichao began to raise troops to drive out the Tubo people.

When she just grew up, she married Li Mingzhen, one of the three generals of the Guiyi Army who was also known as Yan Yingda and Suo Xun.

Li Mingzhen is not only a general of the Guiyi Army, but also a member of the Li family in Longxi, a branch of the Li Tang royal family.

Although a little older than her, he was also a hero for a while, and his family background was even more noble.

Zhang Lishi witnessed the heroic rise of his father Zhang Yichao, and also witnessed the glory of his cousin Zhang Huaishen who regained Liangzhou for the second time.

He also witnessed the crimes committed by the concubine, Zhang Huaishen was murdered by Suo Xun and others, and his younger brother Zhang Huaiding came to power.

When Zhang Huaiding died of illness, Suo Xun usurped the power of the Zhang family, and it was he, Zhang Li, who brought his four sons, who pulled Suo Xun down from the position of Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army, and supported his young nephew Zhang Chengfeng to re-establish his position. Recaptured the grand position of Jiedushi of the Zhang family.

At that time, brothers died, brothers died, the country fell, and orphans were left behind by false hands.Relying on the gods of the Taibao, they seized their kindness and killed them, and Chongguang's heirs.

This should be the highlight moment of Zhang Lishi's life. It was she who took back the Zhang family's family business from Suo Xun.

It's just that later, Zhang Lishi did not escape the control of the desire for power. She shared the control of the states with the other scholars, and was arrogant for a while. At the most glorious time, she was overthrown by Zhang Chengfeng with the support of the rich Shazhou clan.

Three of Zhang Li's four sons lost, but Zhang Li himself survived the coup.

And after that, he witnessed Zhang Chengfeng calling himself the emperor in white, and then being knocked down into the dust by the Uighurs.

Now, she saw Zhang Zhao's rise again, and brought the Guiyi Army to a height that even Zhang Yichao could not reach.

It can be said that this woman's life was exceptionally rich and exciting. She is the living fossil of the entire Guiyi Army, a living witness to the prosperity and decline of the Guiyi Army, a lone loyalist in the Northwest.

Perhaps hearing Zhang Zhao's call, Zhang Lishi, who was already too weak to speak, opened her eyes, and she grasped Zhang Zhao's hand, and spoke vaguely.

"I'm so happy! I'm so hateful!"

Although these two sentences were a bit out of date, Zhang Zhao understood what she meant. Mrs. Zhang Li was very happy to see Zhang Zhao leading the Guiyi Army to grow stronger again.

What he hates is that he was blinded by power in the past, which led to the tragic death of three of his four sons and more than a dozen grandchildren.

Zhang Zhao patted his hand lightly, "Fourteenth Aunt and Grandmother, don't think about it too much, those things are over, our Zhang family will no longer kill each other."

Zhang Lishi nodded in relief, "Erlang, forgive them, don't kill each other, you said it."

Zhang Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded lightly, not to mention that this was Zhang Li's last wish, even Zhang Zhao didn't plan to kill anyone in the first place.

"That's good!" Zhang Li's face was full of relief, and suddenly she raised her hand, her eyes stared blankly at the sky above, and even her eyeballs froze.

"Yay! Yay! Did you come to pick me up? You came to pick me up! You didn't blame me!"

In an instant, the child was relieved to see his father's adoring smile blooming on the haggard face of Mrs. Zhang and Li.

She got the final satisfaction, she saw her favorite father, came to pick her up.

Miraculously, Zhang Li's hand was raised high, but it suddenly fell down again.

Tears welled up in Zhang Zhao's eyes, and there was a loud cry behind him.

This one, the woman who witnessed the rise-cannibalism-decline-and then rise again of the Guiyi army, the only surviving son of Zhang Yichao, passed away.

The era belonging to the old generation of Guiyi Army seems to be over at this moment.

　The second change, today make up the change, the fifth change if the code comes out, the fourth change if the code does not come out, and make up tomorrow.
