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

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Xingmin who looked anxious.

He repeated Liu Fuling's words to him in detail.

"what!"

After hearing what Zhang Wei said, Zhang Xingmin lost his composure.

He stood up from his seat and looked at Zhang Wei with concern.

"Brother, how about we think of another way?"

"If even Da Sima can't solve it, how can we solve it?"

"If I remember correctly, the Grand Marshal seems to have taken 70% of the court's troops to the north. Now that the Han Dynasty is weak, how should we deal with the chaos in the north?"

Zhang Xingmin was indeed a little panicked.

Even the Grand Marshal couldn't deal with it.

How could his brother handle this?

How to quell the rebellion in the north?
Isn't this just nonsense?

"no!"

The more Zhang Xingmin thought about it, the more he felt that it was not possible.

He said to Zhang Wei: "Brother, I will go to the Imperial City right now and explain to His Majesty. This is something our Zhang family cannot solve."

"stop!"

Ever since Zhang Wei became the helmsman of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xingmin simply let himself go.

The whole person has become much more detached.

He does things without any rules and acts recklessly.

He was totally different from his previous calmness and composure.

Now, His Majesty has already issued the imperial decree, but this guy still wants to go to the imperial city to seek an explanation from His Majesty. Isn't this tantamount to disobeying orders?
Now resist the order.

That is a deadly existence.

Isn't this nonsense?
Zhang Xingmin's leg froze in place as he stepped forward.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei with some confusion.

"Brother, do you have any instructions?"

Zhang Xingmin looked at Zhang Wei worriedly.

Zhang Wei is the closest person to him in this world.

Except his son, of course.

But his sons all grew up well under Zhang Wei's protection.

These people have now started to enter school.

Some even entered the Imperial Academy.

In short, these people were well educated by the people sent by Zhang Wei.

Everyone was polite.

And each of them has already shown the rudiments of becoming a pillar of the country.

All this is thanks to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei even established an independent academy belonging to the Zhang family in their ancestral land.

Anyone from the Zhang family.

All members of the Zhang family.

As long as there are younger generations, they can go to school.

Even men and women are not restricted.

Anyone who is a member of the Zhang family, as long as their surname is Zhang, can enroll for free.

Of course, when their knowledge reaches a certain level, they still have to go to official schools to study.

After all, official schools and Imperial College were both established by Emperor Wu, and they are one of the best shortcuts.

Just enter the Imperial College.

Then do something that benefits the people.

If you make yourself more famous, you may be recommended by local officials, and then you can rise to the top and become an official in the court.

Therefore, Zhang Wei had given the order long ago.

Anyone from the Zhang family.

Anyone who is included in the Zhang family tree.

As long as there are descendants, regardless of gender, they can go to school.

This is a gift to people today.

It is also a gift to the Zhang family.

When the Zhang family learned of Zhang Wei's decision, they were naturally overjoyed and immediately sent their younger generations to the clan school.

Not only that.

In a town not far from the Zhang family school.

Even counties.

Anyone who has talent.

You can come and study for free.

However, anyone who joins the Zhang family school must be tied to the Zhang family.

Maybe it’s due to this setting.

Except for people from poor families, no one else would bother to enter the Zhang family school. After all, they were still proud to enter the Imperial College.

Seeing that Zhang Wei had developed the Zhang family so well, Zhang Xingmin naturally stopped thinking about competing with Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei has been in the court in recent years.

I also took care of a lot for myself.

It even helped him cut off his retreat many times.

If Zhang Wei had not been in the court, with his efficiency and work style, he might have been caught by someone long ago.

therefore.

Zhang Xingmin became so worried when he heard that Zhang Wei wanted to lead his troops north.

Zhang Wei looked at the worry on Zhang Xingmin's face.

He shook his head helplessly.

He explained to Zhang Xingmin: "Now that you have entered the Imperial City and are before His Majesty, what can you say?"

"Your Majesty has already issued the decree."

"I have received the order from His Majesty. I will go to recruit troops tomorrow and set off to the north the day after tomorrow."

"If you enter the Imperial City now and ask His Majesty to take back his order, how do you think His Majesty will deal with you and the Zhang family?"

"But……"

But Zhang Wei's life is also precious.

Zhang Wei is also very important to the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei is now the mainstay of their entire family.

If something happens to Zhang Wei, will the Zhang family have no successor?

There isn't even any room for easing up.

This is why Zhang Xingmin is so worried.

He even didn't want Zhang Wei to go north.

"Brother, have you really decided?"

Seeing that Zhang Wei had made up his mind, Zhang Xingmin asked quietly.

"But if you go to the north, who will take care of the Zhang family's affairs? Do you want me to handle these trivial matters?"

Zhang Xingmin spoke.

Because the Zhang family has rules.

Only one person in a generation can become the head of the family.

Whether it is a branch or a main vein.

Anyone who becomes the head of a family must shoulder the responsibility of developing the Zhang family.

And they also have to follow the instructions left by the previous head of the family.

There can't be any difference in points.

This is a big responsibility.

He had always thought that he would become the helmsman of the Zhang family.

So I push myself very hard.

It also makes you calm and steady.

Make yourself look like someone you can rely on.

But when he found out that his brother was more powerful than him, he decisively gave up the power in his hands.

With someone supporting him, he could focus on doing what he liked. After handing over the Zhang family to Zhang Wei, he directly became the Minister of Agriculture.

now.

He was not only a regent.

He also served as the Minister of Agriculture.

It is very rare for someone to be both a regent and one of the Nine Ministers.

Even Zhang Wei had given up his position as Guanglu Xun after becoming the regent.

At least you're not blocking others' way forward.

If Zhang Wei leaves Kyoto now.

How should the Zhang family’s affairs be handled?

We can't let him be the temporary helmsman of the Zhang family.

Since the Zhang family is going to become a thousand-year-old family, there are naturally quite a lot of secrets. If he temporarily becomes the head of the Zhang family, things will get really bad.

After Zhang Wei comes back, what if someone sided with him to win, or even wanted to sow discord between the two brothers? How should he respond?

In the face of financial power.

He didn't know if he could resist the temptation.

I don’t know if I can stick to my original intention.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Wei understood Zhang Xingmin's concerns.

He also knew the rules of the Zhang family.

There was no conflict between him leading his troops north and being in charge of the Zhang family.

"I have already taken care of things here."

"I have arranged for people to handle the Zhang family's affairs, and all places have been pacified. There will not be any chaos."

"You just need to stabilize the situation for me in Kyoto. Don't let anyone act rashly. Keep a close eye on the Prime Minister and the Imperial Censor."

"And then there are the descendants of the former prime minister."

"Although Gongsun He's clansmen have been almost wiped out, there are still some survivors."

"If you have nothing to do, you can help me find these people. Once you find any trace of them, kill them immediately. Don't leave any of them behind."

Zhang Xingmin was shocked by Zhang Wei's bloody methods.

We must leave no member of Gongsun He’s clan alive.

Isn’t this a bit too cruel?
Now, many people, under pressure from the imperial court, have already made backup plans for themselves.

They probably knew they were headed down a path of no return.

So a house was bought for them outside Kyoto.

Some are even hiding in the capital.

They clearly already have families, but they are not content with that and have mistresses outside.

These people bore them children.

It is also the continuation of their bloodline.

They protected these people very well.

It is so that one day, when something major happens, their bloodline can be continued and their own bloodline will not be cut off.

Gongsun He is the new Prime Minister.

And he is the Queen's brother-in-law.

He is related to the royal family.

Although Emperor Wu hated Gongsun He very much, he only exterminated his three clans.

Of course, there are still many people alive.

But now Zhang Wei actually asked him to wipe out the roots, that is, if he found any descendants of Gongsun He, he should kill them immediately without leaving any alive.

Zhang Xingmin weighed the pros and cons.

I also know what Zhang Wei is worried about.

He thought for a while and nodded heavily at Zhang Wei.

"Here!"

After seeing Zhang Xingmin nod, Zhang Wei took out a token from a wooden box next to him and placed it solemnly in Zhang Xingmin's hand.

"This is my token, which can command three hundred armored guards."

"They are among the things my father left behind. Don't use them lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

"But once you use it, you must erase all traces and not let outsiders find out. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xingmin looked at the crescent token in his hand.

Then nodded.

He also knows the priorities.

I also know how widespread this matter will be.

Since Zhang Wei has handed this matter over to him, he can only do it more carefully.

My brother must not be involved in this matter.

"I am naturally relieved to leave this matter to you!"

"I will not be in Kyoto for the time being, please take care of yourself!"

Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin talked a lot.

Until the moon reaches its zenith.

Only then did Zhang Wei ask the people around him to send Zhang Xingmin out.

After Zhang Xingmin left, Zhang Wei said to the dark room, "Help Zhang Xingmin a little."

"Once you find any clues, cut them off immediately. Don't leave any handle for others, and don't let Gongsun He's people find it."

"Also, the supervision in the vassal state is stricter. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately."

"As for the clan members, just keep an eye on them. Don't follow them too closely and don't mess up their business."

"Here!"

Zhang Wei's words fell.

A muffled sound was heard in the room.

He had never used these resources before he became the head of the Zhang family.

After he became the legitimate head of the family, he mobilized all these forces and let them roam around Kyoto.

Although decades have passed.

But these people have developed from generation to generation.

They will not disappear, they will just hide among the crowd.

And when they have no missions, they are just ordinary people.

No one will doubt their identity.

No one will be able to detect their own traces from them.

Zhang Wei naturally felt at ease using these people.

After all these people disappeared, Zhang Wei stood up from the desk, walked to the window, opened it, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

Things in the north were much more serious than he had imagined.

The Wuhuan have now joined the ranks against the Han.

Moreover, this tribe had a grudge against the Huns.

The opponent's Chanyu was still killed by the Huns.

Even their tribal lands had been occupied by the Huns.

After the defeat of the Huns, these people directly surrendered to the Han Dynasty, even became its vassal, and offered large quantities of cattle, sheep and animal skins to the Han Dynasty every year.

But with the resurgence of the Huns.

These people seemed to see the shadow of war again.

These tribes.

If there hadn't been war, they wouldn't have been able to change the situation.

They even have to remain subservient to the shadow of the Han Dynasty.

But these people are all good at fighting.

They cannot remain inferior to others forever.

Once they find the opportunity, they will definitely rebel against the Han Dynasty. It is only a matter of time.

The Huns' invasion of the Han Dynasty was their best opportunity.

As long as they seize the opportunity, they can indeed do what they want.

I have to say, these people are quite smart.

Zhang Wei thought about the relationship between Wuhuan and Xiongnu, and a different color appeared in his eyes.

Then I thought about the current king of Loulan.

The king of Loulan was called Angui.

This man had once been a hostage in the Xiongnu.

Because Loulan's national strength was not particularly strong, and its population was particularly sparse.

While submitting to the Han Dynasty, they also had to submit to the Huns.

Not only did they send their own son to the Han Dynasty as a hostage, they also sent another son to the Xiongnu as a hostage.

Until the Huns were defeated by the Han Dynasty.

Only An Gui can return to Loulan.

Maybe that's where his name came from.

Return safely.

After becoming the king of Loulan, this man behaved in a very absurd way. He believed the provocations of the Huns and bore a grudge against the Han Dynasty.

Not only did he show no respect for the Han Dynasty, but he also killed the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty to the Kingdom of Loulan, which was undoubtedly a challenge to the authority of the Han Dynasty.

This time when the Grand Marshal went north, he not only had to deal with the Huns, but also the Wuhuan and Loulan Kingdom.

Wuhuan and Loulan are secondary, the most important thing is to deal with the Xiongnu.

The Huns were the powerful opponents that the Han Dynasty had to deal with seriously.

The Huns were able to become strong again in such a short period of time.

Moreover, they could unite with Loulan and Wuhuan to attack the Han Dynasty at the same time.

Not to mention the relationship between Wuhuan and Xiongnu, based on their past experiences, Wuhuan could not agree to cooperate with Xiongnu at this time.

Zhang Wei is still wondering how the relationship between them was formed.

Was it someone who did it on purpose, or was there someone pushing it behind the scenes?
If the Wuhuan were about to face an enemy more powerful than the Xiongnu, they would naturally choose to cooperate with the Xiongnu.

The only ones who could pose a threat to the Wuhuan were the Xiongnu and the Han.

But now that he has agreed to cooperate with the Xiongnu, it is probably the Han Dynasty that will put pressure on them. (End of this chapter)
