"Why, are you afraid of dying on the battlefield?" Zhang Wei asked.

"how come?"

Zhang Xingmin didn't want to admit it.

He just didn't want to die so early.

The Zhang family has done so many things for the big man.

You can't get nothing, right?

His father is a lesson learned from others.

There is no way to be a mere minister.

I want to build a thousand-year family.

Its strength must be higher than the imperial power.

Otherwise, they are just fish on someone’s chopping board.

There was no way to resist.

Moreover, his father has taken the wrong path. He clearly has the merit of serving the dragon and can definitely become an important minister of the court, take charge of the court, and make the Zhang family better.

But his father chose to follow the path of a pure minister.

It caused misery to the whole family.

It completely wronged their family and allowed others to benefit.

They were born in the Zhang family.

These things are naturally seen.

They naturally understand how cold-blooded the people in the court are.

It is precisely because of this knowledge that they now do not want to follow his father's old path.

He has now entered the court.

Everything is going in the right direction.

He didn't want that to be the case.

After looking at the people around him and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zhang Xingmin said to Zhang Wei: "Brother, can we really not count?"

"A large number of veterans in the court are now dying. Not only these veterans, but also His Majesty is getting worse day by day."

"I proposed to seek refuge with the Crown Prince before. You said it was not the right time. When is the right time?"

"Do we really have to wait until His Majesty's funeral to consider these things?"

Zhang Xingmin looked solemn.

They can't wait that long.

They have to think about the future of the Zhang family.

Dahan is now in his prime.

Although the southern and northern expeditions depleted the national treasury and left it empty.

But their Zhang Family Trading Company has also provided the Han with a lot of wealth over the years.

The treasury of the Han Dynasty was actually sufficient.

If they wait until His Majesty's funeral to deal with this matter, it will be very troublesome.

Might as well bet in advance.

If things go well before Hulao Mountain, he and Zhang Wei will definitely be promoted to two levels.

At that time, they can directly enter the court hall and then go to the court to discuss matters.

This is their chance.

This time, we can only win, not lose.

"Then do you know what a Millennium Family is?"

Zhang Wei understood what Zhang Xingmin meant, and he also knew Zhang Xingmin's current worries.

The previous events did have a great impact on Zhang Xingmin.

If he hadn't taken over Zhang Xingguo's body.

With this guy's bad temper.

He may have listened to Zhang Xingmin's advice a long time ago and then embarked on the road of rebellion.

Zhang Xingmin is right.

The Zhang family actually has many opportunities to stand on the imperial power.

But because of his hesitation.

Many opportunities were missed.

It almost caused the Zhang family to fall into a situation of eternal disaster.

Since Chun Chen's path doesn't work and the Zhang family can't become a reputable family, then find another path.

Then start working slowly.

It always makes people forget the history of their fortune.

"Ok?"

Zhang Xingmin looked at Zhang Wei curiously.

What does this mean?
Thousand-year-old family?

It has only been a hundred or two hundred years since the Zhang family was established.

During this period, the Zhang family stumbled and was almost wiped out several times.

Especially at this time.

They were completely suppressed by the imperial power.

Let alone becoming a thousand-year-old family, it is hard to say whether they can maintain their foundation.

"The so-called thousand-year-old family."

Seeing that Zhang Xingmin was silent, Zhang Wei said to himself: "It's not just an experience of fame."

"It's also a symbol of strength."

"My father wanted to make the family's reputation better, lay a solid foundation, and leave us a legacy."

"It's a pity that people's hearts are so sinister. My father may not have thought that the people in the court have long wanted to expand the imperial power as never before, in order to weaken the power of the family."

"My father may have noticed it a long time ago, so he took advantage of the situation and wanted to take the path of a pure minister. He would get through this crisis first, and then slowly make plans for it."

"pity……"

Unfortunately he failed.

He overestimated Liu Che's character.

He also overestimated Liu Che's trust in the Zhang family.

If Liu Che really trusted the Zhang family, he wouldn't have done the nonsense he did before.

Not to mention testing myself again and again.

All I can say is that I am not strong enough.

Even if there are merchants here, but there is no power in the army, it is indeed difficult to hold the emperor hostage.

He has always wanted to install people from the Zhang family in the army.

But there were always people blocking it.

Plus Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Both of them are unique generals and handsome men.

These two people are Liu Che's right-hand men.

If he had known this, he should not have discovered these two people in the first place, but should have avoided future troubles.

Thinking of the past, Zhang Wei squinted his eyes.

Reflected deeply.

The Millennium Family still has to rely on itself.

They have to rely on their own abilities.

The court is just a platform for them to display their talents.

They cannot devote their lives to the imperial power.

They want to do it for their ideals and their careers.

Zhang Wei has already conducted deep self-reflection after the death of Zhang Wangchuan.

I also know how to take the road ahead.

The thousand-year-old family is bound to rise above the imperial power.

And this road is destined to collide with imperial power.

Maybe even become their enemies.

The Nine-Five Supreme, everyone wants to have it.

But the aristocratic family is the eternal principle.

What he wants to build is a family that can last forever.

An iron-clad family and a flowing imperial power.

From this moment on, he must concentrate all his strength and then gather all the forces that can be gathered together.

Lay a solid foundation for the Zhang family.

Zhang Xingmin is not a fool.

He understood what Zhang Wei was talking about.

When Zhang Wei said this, Zhang Xingmin had some enlightenment.

It turned out that he had gone astray.

He thought that Zhang Wei had given up on their grand ambitions.

I also gave up the family motto passed down from my ancestors.

To be honest, he actually didn't want to do anything above the court.

Officials are not the only ones who can serve the people.

If only he could become the head of the family.

As beings above imperial power, they can also do practical things for the people.

It can benefit one party more.

It seems that his thinking is too narrow. If he wants to keep up with his brother, he may have to change his thinking. Perhaps, he should adjust his strategy.

"Brother, I understand."

After Zhang Wei saw Zhang Xingmin's impetuous heart suppressed.

Satisfied nodded.

Then he took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Xingmin: "This place is still some distance from Hulao Mountain."

"Since there is nothing to do, take this letter, go back to Kyoto, and give this thing to His Highness King Yan. As for the rest, don't worry about it!"

Ok?
Zhang Xingmin was a little confused.

He looked at his brother in confusion.

What does this mean?
He previously wanted to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince, but was rejected by Zhang Wei.

Could it be that his brother is targeting His Highness King Yan?

But from beginning to end, His Highness King Yan never showed much talent or knowledge, nor did he have any talent for governing the world.

Can such a person take on such a big responsibility?

Looking at the letters and items in his hands, Zhang Xingmin thought for a while and finally nodded.

Then ride back.

Zhang Xingmin's actions did not go unnoticed by Gongsun He's spy.

When this person learned that Zhang Xingmin actually left the team. When he returned to the capital, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, thinking that his opportunity had come.

Running away in the face of battle is a grave sin. Moreover, these two people were appointed by His Majesty.

If both of them fled the battlefield, they would be treated as deserters.

The big man was extremely harsh on deserters.

Even if this person is highly used by His Majesty.

You will definitely be punished for it.

Dismissal and removal from office are the most lenient.

If it were serious, it might kill Zhang Xingmin.

If he passes this person on to the Prime Minister.

Is it possible to make a great contribution?

Will he be able to achieve success after he returns?

This man's heart was racing.

Then he disappeared quietly into the crowd.

Prepare to take advantage of the dark night and high winds to use carrier pigeons to send the message back to the capital.

Unfortunately……

That's when he took action.

Zhang Wei's people did not give him this opportunity.

When he was about to release the carrier pigeon, he had already wiped the person's neck.

After dealing with this person.

The people around Zhang Wei shot down the carrier pigeon.

Hand the letter inside to Zhang Wei.

"Master, we have investigated clearly."

"These people will contact the people in Beijing every three days. This is their special homing pigeon."

"We have followed their methods and found the place where they cultivated homing pigeons, and we have taken over that place."

The people below said to Zhang Wei.

The young master really has no plans left.

This matter has been dealt with long ago.

But these people don't know it yet.

And jumped in stupidly.

Now they just need to wait to close the net.

Zhang Wei looked at the contents inside the envelope with a smile on his face.

Then he took out the letters he had sorted out.

Pass it to the person below again: "Give this to the people in Kyoto."

"Here!"

……

at the same time.

In Kyoto.

Zhang Xingmin has returned overnight.

After returning to the capital, Zhang Xingmin disguised himself without stopping, and then came to the residence of Prince Yan.

When Zhang Xingmin revealed his name.

King Yan was shocked.

He was worried that he would not have the chance to cause trouble to Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin.

Xingmin actually delivered this piece of paper to his door.

And as a deserter.

If he arrested Zhang Xingmin, no one would say anything.

If he brought this matter to his father.

This person definitely can't eat and walk around.

Catch thieves and take away stolen goods.

Liu Dan was afraid that people outside would run away.

Immediately ask someone to lead the way and appear outside Prince Yan's Mansion.

Looking at Zhang Xingmin standing outside Prince Yan's Mansion, Liu Dan's expression deepened.

He quickly stepped forward and scolded Zhang Xingmin coldly: "Zhang Shizhong, you are so brave. You were ordered to go to suppress the bandits, but you returned to the capital privately. Do you want to be a deserter?"

"Come here, capture this bold man for me!"

Liu Dan's blood was boiling.

Zhang Xingmin delivered it to his door himself.

If he can capture this person, his hidden danger will be eliminated.

No one will know about his relationship with Hulao Mountain.

You can even eliminate the roots.

As long as all the people who went to suppress the bandits stayed outside Hulao Mountain, he could cover up the matter tightly.

No one will find out.

"If His Highness Prince Yan doesn't want to die, you can give it a try!"

When Zhang Xingmin saw His Highness King Yan.

There was no worry on his face.

Instead, he felt calm and relaxed.

He looked confident.

His elder brother had already told him that His Highness King Yan had already colluded with Gongsun He.

Not only that, Gongsun He was suspected of taking advantage of His Highness King Yan, but he was stupid and didn't notice it.

"Ok?"

Liu Dan was still worried about his own safety.

And when Zhang Xingmin said this, he immediately raised his hand and waved away the guard next to him.

"What do you mean by what you just said?"

"After all, I am also a dignified prince of the Han Dynasty, a prince with real power over the land. Who dares to take action against me?"

"You, on the other hand, have been appointed as the Protector General. Instead of accompanying you on the expedition, you stayed in Kyoto. Why, do you want to disobey the emperor's order?"

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, really wants me to explain my words here?"

"If His Highness King Yan has this intention, I will definitely tell you everything."

Zhang Xingmin said as he took out the things Zhang Wei gave him.

When Liu Dan saw what was in Zhang Xingmin's hand, his pupils shrank slightly and he immediately lowered his voice.

"Where did you get this?"

The expression on Liu Dan's face suddenly changed.

He looked a little nervous.

He looked at Zhang Xingmin with a look of horror.

He did this in such a secretive way.

Make sure no one finds out.

How did the Zhang family find out?
"Your Highness, do you want me to continue talking?" Zhang Xingmin looked at Liu Dan calmly.

No wonder this person was taken advantage of by Gongsun He.

Really no brainer.

If he were smarter, he would never show such an expression.

It can be regarded as a self-inflicted crime.

How dare Liu Dan delay?

He looked at Zhang Xingmin and immediately pushed back the people around him.

Take Zhang Xingmin into Prince Yan's residence.

After taking the person to the front hall.

Liu Dan became jealous again. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhang Xingmin coldly: "Where did you get this thing from?"

"My patience is limited, and I don't want to quarrel with you here."

"Speak clearly, otherwise, I will not give you a way to survive."

"Your Highness claims to be a noble man, but do you know that he has been taken advantage of?" Zhang Xingmin ignored the look on Liu Dan's face and said with a smile.

"presumptuous!"

Liu Dan's face turned red with anger: "You actually ignore the royal family?"

"Your Highness, calm down."

Zhang Xingmin still had a mocking smile on his face.

No fear at all.

Liu Dan looked at Zhang Xingmin's appearance, but there was nothing he could do about it.

no way.

His pigtails were still held in Zhang Xingmin's hands.

This person actually had the evidence in hand.

Presumably, he already knew something about what happened before.

If it were Zhang Xingmin and Zhang Wei who came.

He could catch both of them in one fell swoop.

But only one person came.

I heard that the two big men of the Zhang family are united and love each other.

He is a well-known brother and brother.

When the two of them join forces, he is indeed difficult to deal with.

This person dared to risk his life and return to Kyoto, and he was able to find him, which meant that he already had a way out.

When there is a way out.

He did have to tread carefully.

Seeing that Zhang Xingmin didn't take him seriously, Liu Dan thought about it and prepared to change his strategy.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Or, what do you want?"

"As long as I can do it, my definition will be fulfilled."

"As for what you said before, someone is taking advantage of me. Who is so bold as to take advantage of someone from the royal family? They are not afraid of the entire family being wiped out?"

"is it?"

Zhang Xingmin saw Liu Dan's determined look.

The next moment he was slapped in the face.

He directly took out something that shocked Liu Dan.

"Your Highness, does this thing look familiar?"

Zhang Xingmin took out the object and looked at Liu Dan with a smile. (End of chapter)
