I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 591 The nobles of the clan are eager to try

At this moment, in the British government palace.

After the British Duke Zhang Rong returned from Jiajing, he hurriedly ordered people to summon the clan and nobles. He planned to inform others of the news he had previously received from His Majesty.

At this time, the hall used by the British government to entertain guests was extremely lively.

Chengguo Duke Zhu Xizhong, Dingguo Duke Xu Yande, and even the Qianguo Duke's Palace also sent people to the British Duke's Palace. In addition, a large number of clans and nobles such as Wuqing Marquis and Xincheng Marquis were received. After hearing the news, they also rushed to the British government residence one after another.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come had almost arrived, Zhang Rong looked around and then slowly began to tell the purpose of gathering everyone this time.

"Ahem, not long ago, His Majesty asked me to go to the palace. There, I learned a very important news. The imperial court plans to officially implement the reform of the land in the southwest!"

As soon as Zhang Rong finished speaking, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Xizhong frowned and immediately raised doubts.

"Is it possible that His Majesty intends for us to lead the troops in battle?"

As soon as Zhu Xizhong finished speaking, Duke Dingguo Xu Yande's face was filled with relief, and he sighed with emotion.

"It seems that His Majesty has not forgotten us clan members and nobles. Tell us who you want to beat!"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Rong suddenly felt dumbfounded. He shook his head helplessly and immediately explained.

"No, His Majesty does not want us to lead troops to fight, but he wants to personally select some of the clan and noble disciples to serve in the southwest after the reform is implemented in the southwest!"

After Zhang Rong finished speaking, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Xizhong reacted suddenly. Immediately, he looked in the direction of Zhang Rong and asked excitedly.

"You mean, His Majesty plans to take this opportunity..."

Hearing this, Zhang Rong nodded, and immediately responded in a deep voice: "Well, that's right, that's what your Majesty planned. This time, your Majesty is going to take advantage of the opportunity of returning to his native land to let us clans, Your Excellency, you regain your right to speak in the court!"

"Your Majesty has never forgotten us from beginning to end!"

When Zhang Rong said this, he paused for a moment and then added another sentence.

"To be honest, before this, I have asked Your Majesty to send my son, Zhang Yuangong, to serve in the southwest!"

"what?"

Xu Yande, Duke of Dingguo on the side, was shocked when he heard Zhang Rong's words. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Rong would act so quickly.

After secretly complaining in his mind, Xu Yande stood up and asked Zhang Rong.

"I wonder how many members of the clan and noble family your Majesty plans to send to serve in the southwest?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rong shook his head and responded without thinking.

"The exact number of places is not yet clear. In short, there should not be many places."

When Zhang Rong said this, he suddenly changed the topic, and then faced everyone and spoke out words of admonishment.

"In the southwest, there are high mountains, dense forests, and dense miasma. If you are not careful, you will be at risk of getting sick. In addition, there are many local ethnic groups and they are constantly fighting each other. It is really not a good place. I advise you to think carefully about whether you want to go there or not." Send your children over there to suffer!”

Zhu Xizhong, Duke of Chengguo on the side, nodded and said in a deep voice after patiently listening to Zhang Rong's advice.

"Humph, what are you afraid of? You, the British father, are not afraid, so what do we have to fear?"

"Is it possible that only the son of your British father-in-law is allowed to serve in the southwest? All of us here are clan members and nobles. We are all related. How can we be left behind in something like this? "

The words of Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong also resonated with many clans and nobles present.

"Yes, that's right, we need to send someone there too!"

"Besides, how can we live up to His Majesty's good intentions? Now that His Majesty has given us the opportunity, why should we not seize it?"

When Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Xizhong said this, he looked at where Zhang Rong was and immediately spoke.

"I'd like to trouble the British Duke to tell His Majesty when the time comes. I'm the Duke of the country and I'm willing to send people to serve in the southwest!"

Seeing this, Xu Yande, Duke of Dingguo on the side, was afraid that he would be left behind, so he also added.

"The same goes for our Duke Dingguo!"

"So do we!"

After that, all the clan members and nobles present expressed their attitudes one after another.In short, they wanted Jiajing to give more consideration to them when selecting clan members and nobles to serve in the southwest. After all, everyone present knew very well that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, whether the glory of the clan and nobles can be restored depends on this time!

Immediately, Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Zhang Rong.

"By the way, who is the general in charge of commanding the army this time?"

Zhang Rong heard this and after thinking for a moment, he immediately responded: "The person in charge of commanding the army this time is Feng Yue, the governor of Huguang!"

When Zhu Xizhong heard this, he supported his chin with one hand and immediately murmured to himself.

"Feng Yue, that's a good choice..."

……

After the discussion, everyone left the British mansion one after another, and Zhang Rong also called his son Zhang Yuangong to the study.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Yuangong looked at Zhang Rong, who had his back turned to him and said nothing, and asked anxiously.

Ever since Zhang Yuangong was severely punished by Zhang Rong not long ago, he has become more at ease. His daily routine is to recite the marked test questions to prepare for the upcoming exam in the near future.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rong immediately turned around, pointed to the empty seat beside him, and immediately gave instructions.

"sit down!"

"Yes, Father!"

When Zhang Yuangong saw the unusually solemn look on Zhang Rong's face, his heart suddenly thumped, and he became extremely uneasy.

"Could something be wrong?"

Zhang Yuangong thought this, and then sat down on the empty seat beside him. At this moment, he was sitting upright, not even daring to move, and even breathing became very careful.

Zhang Rong looked his son up and down, and after thinking about it for a long time, he spoke.

"I have asked Your Majesty to send you to serve in the southwest when the time comes!"

"what?"

When Zhang Yuangong heard Zhang Rong's words, his face was full of disbelief, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Perhaps because the news was so explosive, Zhang Yuangong's brain was down for a long time before he finally reacted. After he came back to his senses, he timidly asked.

"Father, you are..."

Zhang Rong saw the expression on his son's face, and after sighing helplessly, he chose to tell everything.

"The imperial court plans to carry out reform in the southwest. After that, His Majesty plans to personally select some of the clan and noble disciples to serve in the southwest. After that, you will be promoted. In addition..."

After patiently listening to his father Zhang Rong's narration, Zhang Yuangong finally had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter.

At the same time, he also understood how heavy the burden was on him. On his shoulders, he shouldered the hope of the revival of the clan and nobles!

Zhang Rong looked at his son who lowered his head and remained silent, and a trace of unbearable color flashed across his face.

Immediately, Zhang Rong stretched out his hand, gently stroked Zhang Yuangong's head, and said slowly: "If you don't want to, then your father and I will go and explain to His Majesty in person..."

Before Zhang Rong could finish his words, he was decisively interrupted by Zhang Yuangong: "No, father, I want to go!"

Hearing this, Zhang Rong couldn't help but have a look of shock on his face. He didn't expect that his son, who was usually lazy, uneducated and always causing trouble for himself, would actually say such a thing.

When Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Yuangong, the eyes of father and son met in mid-air.

At this moment, there was no trace of confusion on Zhang Yuangong's face. He could only look at his father resolutely and said in a deep voice.

"Father, I'm going!"
