Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 50

"Don't you see Ma Chuan walking along the snowy seaside, flat sand and wild yellow into the sky. Luntai September wind roars at night, a river of broken rocks as big as a bucket, and the ground is full of rocks with the wind."

Zhang Zhao rode on a Bactrian camel. He covered his face with a high-quality scarf produced in Jiangnan Dongdao, and sang loudly with some high spirits.

"Good poetry! Good poetry! Mr. Erlang is so talented!" Ma Yaozi flattered loudly on the camel in front, while Dunzhu carried Zhang Zhao's short spear and followed behind with a look of admiration.

"Oh, I really despise you! This is Cen Jiazhou's (Cen Shen)'s poem!" Dui Yan, who was rubbing his knife while walking, looked at the horse kite who flattered him with contempt.

"Someone who became a slave of the Tubo people once sang on Qilian Mountain, you don't even know."

"Silly dog ​​slave, you're the only one who talks too much!" The surroundings burst into laughter, and Ma Yaozi, who couldn't hold back his face, spat hard at Captain Yan.

Cao Shishi was a little gloomy, he had never traveled far before, and now he didn't even say goodbye to his parents, so he went west with Zhang Zhao in a flash of enthusiasm.

The hardship of the journey far exceeded his imagination. If he didn't want some face, Cao Shishi would have the urge to turn around and go back.

"Erlang-jun, since my grandfather admires you so much, why do you still go west, why don't you just stay in Dunhuang? We still have at least two to 300,000 people. It is much easier to restore the Tang Dynasty than to go to the Western Regions!"

Cao Yanming is now called Mr. Zhang Zhao Erlang like everyone else, and he really wants to be Zhang Zhao's uncle instead of his cousin.

"Dunhuang?" Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Dunhuang is a good place! If you come to Dunhuang for 20 years in the morning, of course it would be better to stay in Dunhuang, but now, Dunhuang has become a place of death.

More than [-] years ago, the Tang Dynasty was still there, and they still wanted to accumulate strength to break through Ganliang and return to the Tang Dynasty, but now, the Dunhuang clans only think about how to keep their wealth. A man like Rotonda. "

20 years early?
Not only Cao Yanming, but everyone nearby showed puzzled expressions, but they didn't think too much about it. After all, Mr. Zhang Erlang often used some weird words, and he was no stranger to it.

But they thought Zhang Zhao was saying that he was born late, but Zhang Zhao actually wanted to say that he came 20 years earlier and directly passed through as Zhang Chengfeng, the emperor in white, so that he could start from Dunhuang.

Seeing Cao Yanming nod his head half-understood, Zhang Zhao decided to teach him another truth.

"Shishi Lang, are you familiar with your grandfather?"

Cao Yanming was a little puzzled, he nodded hesitantly.

"It's fairly familiar. My grandpa is just a little strict with his family. The rest of the Jiedu envoys, officials and people, all say that my grandpa is a good person!"

"Good man!" Zhang Zhao rubbed his chin, "That's okay! Let me think that your grandfather is a good man, but you have to know that besides being a good man, your grandfather is also a ruthless man!
If I don’t go to Khotan, and just hang around in front of him every day, let me tell you, your grandpa will have to have me hacked to death within ten and a half months at most!

Remember, if you want to do great things, don't always expose your weaknesses to others, because you are constantly challenging others' self-discipline and bottom line. If one day he can't stand the temptation, you It's dead.

Your grandfather treated me well today because I shared the same aspirations and worries with him, but tomorrow he may choose to kill me because of my threat to the Cao family. "

. . . .

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Cao Yijin, who was supported by Mrs. Cao San by the sweet spring, coughed violently.

While supporting his back gently, Mrs. Cao San poured the warm wine in the leather bag into an amber cup and handed it to Cao Yijin.

"Why did Grandpa leave in such a hurry? You are not in good health, we might as well slow down!"

"Slow down!" Cao Yijin snorted, stroked his chest several times, and finally calmed down.

"I'm afraid that if I walk slowly, I can't help but order someone to sink Zhang Erlang into the Crescent Lake."

"Ah!" Although Mrs. Cao San was not as young as Cao Yanming, she still didn't expect Cao Yijin to have murderous intentions, and she was immediately frightened.

"This Erlang will be a serious disaster for the Cao family in the future. Maybe the future wealth of the Cao family will be ruined in his hands! No way! This old man needs to add another insurance policy!"

Cao Yijin's face was quite gloomy at this time, it seemed that he was definitely not joking when he said that he wanted to kill Zhang Zhao.

"But, Grandpa, since you think that Zhang Erlang will be a serious disaster for the Cao family in the future, why do you want to help today?
And from the perspective of my granddaughter, Zhang Erlang doesn't seem like a heartless and ungrateful person. If you are so kind to him today, will he ruin our Cao family's wealth? "Miss Cao San was quite puzzled.

"Today, I am kind to him because someone discovered that Zhang Erlang has the same ambition as me.

This person knows me!Know what I want, and why I worry!Pity!It would be great if he was my son, or grandson!Then I can hand over the Cao family to him! "

As he spoke, Cao Yijin's face flushed, and his mood became more restless.

"Zhang Erlang should not be a heartless and ungrateful person, but your uncle, second uncle and even your father are not the kind of people who can see the reality! Difficult! Difficult!"

Cao Yijin said two difficulties in a row, he didn't support Zhang Zhao, and he felt that if there was no such person in Hexi, he might be reduced to Hu Chen sooner or later.

Support it, and I am afraid that if Zhang Zhao really succeeds, the descendants of the Cao family will not be able to recognize the form, and will be cleaned up by Zhang Zhao in the end.

Not so!Mrs. Cao San thought about it. Although the uncle is stingy, the second uncle is greedy for money, and her father is slow in doing everything, it's not that the three of them can't even see the situation clearly, right?

"Don't worry, grandpa. Now you have agreed to the marriage between Zhang Erlang and Nineteenth Sister. He is both your cousin and your grandson-in-law, uh."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao San almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Although Zhang Erlang and the grandfather are not related by blood, they are also normal cousins ​​with the nineteenth sister.

But this nephew has become a grandson-in-law, no matter how you hear it, it is a bit funny.

After calming down a little, Mrs. Cao San continued to persuade.

"As long as you handle it properly, there is not much difference between your grandson-in-law and your grandson. Didn't Shangzhu Kingdom (Suo Xun) treat you like your own son back then?

Later, the Suo family had such a big disturbance, didn't you also protect the Suo family's uncle as a high-ranking official? "

The uncle of the Suo family mentioned by Mrs. Cao is called Suo Chengxun, and he is the son of Suo Xun, the fourth generation military governor of the Guiyi Army.

But Suo Xun, this Zhang Yichao's son-in-law is not very good, he opened the magic box of the Guiyi army's cannibalism, and created the first case of foreign surnames usurping the power of the Zhang family.

Of course, he was finally killed by his sister-in-law, Zhang Yichao's fourteenth daughter, Zhang Fourteenth, who married Li Mingzhen, another general of the Guiyi Army, and her sons.

Therefore, as Suo Xun's son, Suo Chengxun was not implicated and was promoted all the way. It was indeed the result of Cao Yijin's great efforts to protect him.

After two more sips of warm wine, Cao Yijin, who had rested for a long time, looked much better. He turned to look at the third lady beside him.

"Yannai's grandson is right!"

Miss Cao San suddenly felt something was wrong, because the last time Cao Yijin called her so affectionately was when she was about to marry into the Murong family.

Sure enough, Cao Yijin's next sentence went in the direction that Mrs. Cao San imagined.

"But Nineteen Niang is Fang Twelve this year, and she is good at learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but here is still a little bit worse. I'm afraid she can't protect the Cao family alone."

Cao Yijin pointed to his head, then looked at Mrs. Cao solemnly.

"I think that Zhang Erlang has a good sense of you. If my grandson Yannai hadn't married into the Murong family, he would be the most suitable candidate for the bride. But now, maybe I will wrong you in the future."

Mrs. Cao San suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears rolled down her eyes. This is how she was married to the Murong family back then, so what is it now?
Even if she thought Zhang Zhao was good, Miss Cao San never wanted to accept such an arrangement, but she didn't have the courage to resist, so she could only snort like a mosquito.

"Ah Weng will not agree! I am already a member of Murong's family!"

"He will agree, although the Murong family seems to be fighting against my Cao family, but in fact their future is more worrying.

Because a certain Cao Yijin still has your two uncles and your father, although he is a little stupid and short-sighted, he can still maintain the situation.

But the Murong family, except for your unlucky husband Murong Changdao, the others say they are mediocre, that's just flattering them. If the Murong family wants to maintain their power, they don't have much choice! "

After finishing speaking, Cao Yijin stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the eyes of Mrs. Cao San.

"Grandson of Yannai, don't cry. Zhang Erlang is not a fickle person. You are not yet 30 years old, and you will have a long time to come. If you don't follow Zhang Erlang, as you are, you will only be a green light ancient Buddha for a lifetime." .

Grandpa is so tired!Help the grandpa share the burden, it's a pity that you are not a man! "
