Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 219: The foundation is destroyed, where to go?
"Brother!"

Outside the imperial city, Zhang Wangjing was already waiting outside.

Seeing Zhang Wei come out, Zhang Wangjing quickly greeted him and said, "Brother, are you okay?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Wangjing, and the guard in his heart quickly dropped, and he fell forward helplessly. Zhang Wangjing immediately panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize Zhang Wei.

"Go back." Zhang Wei lay on Zhang Wangjing's shoulder and spat out weakly.

Zhang Wangjing could still ask more questions, so he quickly helped Zhang Wei get on the carriage, and then asked Ma Fu to quickly return to the prime minister's residence.

Just arrived at the prime minister's residence.

Zhang Wangjing hurriedly ordered the people around him: "Hurry up and ask the government doctor to come over. Hurry."

"Here!"

The entire Prime Minister's Office became extremely panicked because of Zhang Wangjing's return.

Zhang Wangjing asked someone to help Zhang Wei to his bedroom with a worried look on his face.

After placing the person on the bed, Zhang Wangjing had the time to ask about the cause of the matter: "Brother, what's going on? Is Your Majesty punishing you in private?"

Zhang Wangjing looked worried.

He now wants to know what happened to Zhang Wei.

Why dying.

He was fine when he entered the imperial city, but he felt like a different person when he came out.

That's all for feeling depressed.

The whole person is even more half-dead.

This is the leader of the Zhang family.

It is the hope of all of them.

Even if everyone falls, Zhang Wei cannot fall at this time.

"If anything happens, we two brothers will solve it together. Don't put everything on your own shoulders. The Zhang family has me and it won't collapse for the time being. Brother, you must take care of yourself."

Zhang Wangjing started sobbing as he spoke.

He is a man who was supported by his elder brother.

His ability to become Prime Minister Liu Che was inseparable from Zhang Wei's teaching and planning.

Now that Zhang Wei is like this, Zhang Wangjing is the one who is most worried.

Zhang Wei was lying on the bed, his eyes dull.

I do not know what to say.

at the same time.

before the screen.

Zhang Wei, who controlled Zhang Wangchuan, also fell into deep thought.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Or was there a deviation from the previous Chunchen route that led to today's result?"

Zhang Wei now blames himself extremely.

Starting from the pre-Qin period, others built a caravan.

He watched this caravan grow from scratch, from weak to strong.

From the very beginning to now, the Zhang family has paid a huge price for this. He thought he could make this caravan prosperous, but now that such a situation occurs, he is worse than anyone else.

From Qin to Han.

After all this time, their caravan is still irreplaceable.

He has even become a role model for countless business people.

Many people want to ask them for advice.

They are also willing to teach. Except for some secret techniques, they can say everything they know and talk about everything. They work hard to cultivate a group of advanced businessmen.

What is his purpose in doing this?
Isn't it just to make the big man stronger?
But now?

What did he get?
Liu Che actually cracked down on a small policy to suppress business, and even targeted the Zhang family.

He was not given any chance to defend himself, not even room for him to speak. He was told to hand over most of his wealth as soon as he opened his mouth. How could Liu Che say this?

Although he knew that Liu Che had the idea of ​​inhibiting the development of the family.

But I didn't expect Liu Che to be so cruel.

Zhang Wei stood in front of the screen and looked at the depressed Zhang Wangchuan.

After pondering for a while, he chose to continue manipulating.

"Brother, this is some refreshing soup I asked the kitchen to prepare for you. Do you want to drink some?"

Zhang Wangjing was busy beside him.

Always stay by Zhang Wei's side.

Zhang Wei opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Wangjing sitting next to the bed, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his hand to comfort Zhang Wangjing: "I'm fine, you go back and rest first."

"Brother..." Zhang Wangjing looked at Zhang Wei who was awake.

Almost cried with joy.

"Brother, I thought you would be like brother Wangcheng..."

As he got older, Zhang Wangjing became a little sentimental.

After she separated from the Zhang family, her life has been relatively comfortable, and she does not need to worry about the Zhang family, she only needs to be her own prime minister.

But Zhang Wei is different.

Not only should he serve as Shangshu, he should also share Liu Che's worries.

There is also the matter of managing the Zhang family, which can be said to be exhausting and exhausting.

He had already asked someone to check Zhang Wei's pulse.

Zhang Wei's losses were very serious. If he didn't take good care of himself, he might not survive until his old age.

This is what Zhang Wangjing is most worried about.

The Zhang family cannot live without Zhang Wei now.

Once something goes wrong with Zhang Wei, the Zhang family will collapse.

The next generation of talented people have not yet been cultivated, and Zhang Wei cannot do anything until the successors have grown up.

"I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired. You are a powerful prime minister after all, so why are you showing such a weak side? If others find out, they may use this as a reason to impeach you!"

"Cough cough!"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he coughed twice again.

This incident really hit him hard.

He didn't expect Liu Che to act so resolutely.

Also issued an edict.

To actually completely suppress commerce within the Han Dynasty will undoubtedly cause a group of people to be annihilated.

Liu Che is really cruel.

"Let them impeach me. My brother is in such a catastrophic situation. Can't I still take care of him?"

"If I turn a blind eye to my brother, they may really impeach me. Don't worry, brother. I'll leave the Zhang family's affairs to my younger brother for the time being. My younger brother will live up to his trust and will definitely not let anything happen to the Zhang family."

After all, he is also the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

He will enter the imperial city now.

Even if he knelt to death in front of Weiyang Palace, he would make His Majesty take back his life.

Why?
Everything that the Zhang family has today is due to their hard work.

What's wrong with engaging in business if there is no delay in growing mulberry trees?
Why does Your Majesty want to pursue this matter?
The Zhang family has done so many things for the big man.

Jiangshan sacrificed so much for their surname Liu.

Why do they treat the Zhang family like this?
Even if they are made of clay, they should still have a temper.

If they keep submissive, they will never be able to make their own decisions.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Wangjing, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

The reason why he made Zhang Wangjing the prime minister of the Han Dynasty before.

It's because this person has his own opinion.

He wants his own persistence.

Making this man the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is beneficial to both the Han Dynasty and the Zhang family.

Unexpectedly.

This turned out to be the point that worried him the most.

Zhang Wangjing is a stubborn person.

Once something is decided by him, it is generally difficult to change it.

If he really goes, the Zhang family may be in ruins because of this person.

Zhang Wangjing heard Zhang Wei's voice.

He turned to look at his brother.

Seeing the look on Zhang Wei's face, he felt a little unwilling and said, "Brother, is what we did before worth it?" "In order to support Liu Che's Northern Expedition, the Zhang family has donated most of their money and even lost a member of the Zhang family. General, that’s all. Do you still doubt me?”

"Is it really worth it for us to fight for their country with the surname Liu?"

Zhang Wangjing expressed his dissatisfaction for the first time.

He had already evacuated the people in the bedroom.

There was no one around to eavesdrop.

The reason why he said this to Zhang Wei was to clarify Zhang Wei's attitude.

If Zhang Wei really wanted to be a pure minister and sincerely assist Liu Che, he would forget what he just said and never mention it again in the future.

What if...

"Don't say this kind of thing again, be careful. Walls have ears." Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Wangjing steadily: "The reason why I want the Zhang family to become a royalist faction is to make the Zhang family immortal."

"The development of the Zhang family has already caused dissatisfaction among those in power."

"If it wasn't Liu Che who sat in a high position, I might not have taken this route, but Liu Che was supported by us."

"It's not like you don't know his temper. Not retreating now will expose our ambitions. Once Liu Che finds out, what do you think he will do?"

Zhang Wangjing fell into silence.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

How should they deal with it to minimize the crisis?
"Brother, what did His Majesty say to you when you were in Weiyang Palace before? What did he want our Zhang family to do?"

Zhang Wangjing naturally knew that this matter was not simple.

To make his brother so angry, Liu Che must have done something extremely excessive.

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Wei coughed twice and was about to answer.

"Knock down!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Wangjing looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Brother, you have a good rest first, I'll go out and take a look!"

After Zhang Wangjing finished speaking, he walked to the door, opened the door, looked at the attendant standing outside the door, a coldness appeared in his eyes, then flicked his sleeves and left the bedroom.

"Follow me." Zhang Wangjing led the attendant into the study next to him.

As soon as he entered the study, Zhang Wangjing kicked the attendant in the abdomen: "Did I say that no one is allowed to come near me when I am discussing matters? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

The attendant was kicked by Zhang Wangjing and staggered.

Almost fell to the ground.

After he stabilized his body, the attendant looked at Zhang Wangjing with a worried look, took out the notice on the street and handed it directly to Zhang Wangjing.

"Sir, this is the edict we found on the street. His Majesty ordered that all businessmen must pay taxes to the court. If there is any resistance, the Yi tribe will be punished!"

"Not only that, anyone who is an official in the government is not allowed to engage in commercial matters. Once discovered, dismissal from office will be frivolous."

Only then did Zhang Wangjing find the root cause.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder my brother is so angry.

If it were him, he would be so angry.

He had actually already made some guesses about the policy of suppressing business at the court level.

I just didn't expect Liu Che to be so cruel.

They actually asked the Zhang family to hand over most of their wealth.

Does he know how much wealth the Zhang family has for half their net worth?
It's like a lion opening its mouth.

"Get out!"

Zhang Wangjing looked at the attendant coldly, took the edict in his hand, and then quickly drove him out.

After driving the person out, he locked himself in the study.

Holding the order issued by His Majesty in his hand, he did not even dare to have any dissatisfaction.

I can only swallow it in the study and consume it by myself.

I don't know how long it took, but the door to the study room was suddenly pushed open.

Zhang Wangjing looked at the light outside and originally wanted to curse, but when he saw the person coming, he suddenly swallowed his words and quickly got up from the ground.

"Brother, why are you here? Why don't you take a good rest in bed?"

Zhang Wangjing quickly walked to Zhang Wei and helped him sit on the seat next to him.

Zhang Wei took a look at the layout of the study room.

There was no mess here, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Wangjing is indeed the person he ordered.

Still somewhat determined.

"well done."

"Since His Majesty wants to do this, we naturally can't resist."

"His doing this can be regarded as a reminder to us. In the Han Dynasty, everything belongs to the king. In the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. Everything we have in our hands, others can Take it easily.”

Zhang Wei said with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He had never thought of turning the caravan into a secret line before.

Since he was forced to do this, don't blame him for being unkind.

"I will handle this matter. You should be your prime minister and don't get involved in this matter."

"Especially in the court, please do not plead for me. This matter will be resolved as soon as possible. After three days, those people should shut up."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Zhang Wangjing, raised his hand and patted Zhang Wangjing's shoulder: "You are the Zhang family's only support now."

"It is also the Zhang family's biggest guard of honor in the court,"

"Even if something happens to me, nothing can happen to you, do you understand?"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he turned around and left the study, walking straight towards the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Wangjing sat on the seat blankly.

Looking at Zhang Wei's back, he suddenly felt pressure on his shoulders.

I always thought that before.

After they separated, the affairs of the Zhang family had nothing to do with him.

As long as the Zhang family has his brother, it will last forever and there will be no crisis.

Only now did he realize that everything he thought was too simple.

They want to be pure ministers.

I want to take the route of a loyal minister.

Someone has to cooperate.

What the brother just said was very clear, he just wanted to split the Zhang family into two.

It turns out that my brother had already made plans before, but he never put them into practice. Now the time has come, and it is time for his lineage to rise.

"Someone, prepare a car!"

After thinking clearly, Zhang Wangjing straightened his clothes, turned around and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

Shangshu's mansion.

After Zhang Wei returned to the mansion.

He also asked people from Zhangjia Trading Company to be called over.

The Zhang Family Trading Company did business all over the Han Dynasty.

They naturally heard about what just happened.

After hearing the above-mentioned policy of suppressing business, everyone in Zhangjia Trading Company was shocked. They originally wanted to come to see Zhang Wei, but never found the opportunity.

Now summoned by Zhang Wei, they immediately tidied up their clothes and hurriedly appeared at Shangshu's mansion.

"grown ups!"

People from Zhang's Trading Company stood in the front hall and saluted Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei turned his head.

He looked a little haggard.

Looking at the people from Zhang Family Trading Company, Zhang Wei looked ashamed.

"Do you all know about His Majesty's edict?" Zhang Wei asked.

The people from the Zhang Family Trading Company nodded and asked, "Is this true, Sir? Are we really being targeted by His Majesty?"

"If you ask us to hand over most of our family property, even if we are in the Zhang Family Trading Company, it will break our muscles and bones."

"In addition, we have sacrificed a lot in order to aid the Han Dynasty in the Northern Expedition, and now we are punished with half of our net worth. Our strength will definitely be greatly reduced."

"Coupled with the matters at court, our firm has offended countless merchants. If they come to visit us, how should we respond?"
