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

the other side.

Zhang Xingmin found Zhang Xiangqi.

When he saw Zhang Xiangqi, the expression on Zhang Xingmin's face changed visibly.

"Why did my brother ask you to come to Kyoto?"

"Is it just to give away a head?"

"The Protectorate was established at the suggestion of the Zhang family. It has only been established for a few years. Aren't you afraid that your life will be in danger if you go there?"

Zhang Xingmin looked at Zhang Xiangqi dimly.

This person is the highest military commander of the Zhang family in the barracks.

If this person died in the Western Regions Protectorate.

It is indeed the Zhang family’s loss.

He made his words so clearly because he wanted people to see the reality.

Tell him not to act rashly.

It would be best if I could tender my resignation to Your Majesty.

Even going to the southwest is much better than going to the Western Regions.

Since the opening of the Silk Road.

The Han Dynasty had more exchanges with Western countries.

Their exchanges did strengthen the national strength of the countries.

It also allowed the cultures of various countries to blend together.

It greatly promoted the interaction between the Han Dynasty and other Western countries.

The ties between the Han Dynasty and Western countries became increasingly close.

But that's about it.

With the sudden southward advance of the Huns.

The other side naturally wants to take back the rights of the West.

Before the Silk Road was opened, the Western countries were basically under the rule of the Huns.

The Huns were originally a nomadic people.

They are made up of many tribes united together.

With the union of these tribes, they defeated the Western countries and even enslaved them.

If the Han Dynasty had not repelled the Huns.

These people are still struggling to survive at the hands of the Huns.

And their economy is not particularly developed.

The national strength is not particularly strong.

In front of the weak and powerful Huns, they were like lambs to be slaughtered.

There is no resistance.

It was not until the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns that they were able to survive independently.

At least there was no harassment from the Huns.

In recent years, Western countries have developed rapidly.

Their national strength developed rapidly.

Now at least I can have a dialogue with the Han people on an equal footing.

Now that the Huns have made a comeback, these people are naturally extremely panicked.

The Kingdom of Loulan was also among them.

Loulan was also a small country in the west.

They had already surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

But he had to hear the Huns' counter-espionage plan.

He also attacked the big man.

It's undoubtedly seeking death.

Zhang Xiangqi now killed the king of Loulan and brought his head back to the Han Dynasty.

It is only natural that Your Majesty appointed him as the Protectorate General of the Western Regions.

If it were before, having the control over the Western Regions Protectorate would naturally be an existence worthy of everyone's covetousness.

But now the Western Regions Protectorate is just a cannon fodder, it is there to die.

Zhang Xiangqi has now agreed to serve as Your Majesty's Protectorate General of the Western Regions.

Isn't this courting death?

Zhang Xiangqi looked at Zhang Xingmin.

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

They are obviously twins from the same mother.

Why is there such a big difference?
Zhang Xingmin has been immersed in the land of pleasure these years, and he may have forgotten the teachings of the Zhang family.

Looking at Zhang Xingmin in front of him.

Zhang Xiangqi shook his head and said, "Since the Prime Minister is so capable, why not go and talk to His Majesty about it and see if there is any room for maneuver at this time?"

Zhang Xingmin was silent for a moment.

What does this have to do with him?
He finally gained a foothold in the court.

It was not easy to become the Prime Minister.

He naturally has to fight for his career.

I can't just watch the foundation I have fought for fall into the hands of others.

He just wanted to prove it.

Even if Zhang Wei was not in Kyoto, he could become the most important person in the court on his own.

He even became the person that Your Majesty relies on the most.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to offend His Majesty because of this matter.

"Since you brought this up, you should be the one to talk about it."

"Besides, you have just made great contributions. If you resign now, His Majesty will not have any objections."

"With your current prestige in the army, even if you leave the barracks, others should still respect you. Why do you have to hold on to power?"

"If I were you, I would choose to retreat bravely and hand over power at this most critical moment, so that His Majesty can rest assured about the Zhang family."

"hiss!"

This statement came out.

Zhang Xiangqi couldn't help it.

He looked at Zhang Xingmin seriously.

He asked the question in his mind: "Master Prime Minister, you and General Zhang are from the same mother, and you are twins, how come there is such a big difference between you?"

"The head of the family is still in the north working hard for the Zhang family's century-old foundation. What are you doing in Kyoto?"

"Tian Qianqiu and the Imperial Censor are almost riding on the Zhang family's necks, can't you see?"

"These two have clearly joined forces with the goal of bringing down the Zhang family. Moreover, these two are most likely your Majesty's men. Once they join forces with your Majesty, it is very likely that the Zhang family will have no chance of recovery."

"Master Prime Minister, don't forget the Zhang family motto."

After Zhang Xiangqi finished speaking.

Look around.

After making sure no one was eavesdropping.

Only then did he get on the carriage and asked the driver to take him back to the military camp.

He has now received the emperor's order.

Naturally, you have to hurry up.

After settling matters in Kyoto, he would lead his troops north.

Then he went to be the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

He did not forget the instructions Zhang Wei gave him.

When he met Zhang Wei on the way, Zhang Wei had already guessed what choice Liu Fuling would make.

as predicted.

Liu Fuling actually asked him to go to the Western Regions to guard the border.

This provided conditions for his escape.

The reason why he entered the military camp.

The reason why I have climbed to this point.

It’s for the position of the Protectorate.

The idea of ​​establishing a Protectorate was first proposed by the Zhang family.

Their purpose in doing so was not to protect the Silk Road, but to provide conditions for his escape.

The Silk Road did connect the Han Dynasty with other countries.

But it also brings them many hidden dangers.

Because the Han Dynasty was too rich.

The national strength is also very strong.

They saw the beauty of the Han people.

These people are ready to make some moves.

The Huns now suddenly attacked the Han Dynasty.

They are very likely to choose to cooperate with the Huns.

Going to the Protectorate at this time would indeed put your life in danger, but there would also be great opportunities.

He now knew why Zhang Wei did this.

Naturally, you have to carry it through to the end.

After Zhang Xingmin saw Zhang Xiangqi leave.

The whole person froze in place.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

After learning literary and martial arts, his goods went to the emperor's family.

Isn’t this the lifelong wish of these students?
Under his uncle's teachings, he was not completely devoted to the Han Dynasty.

Nor is he particularly loyal.

But since he entered the Han Dynasty court, he saw the hardships of the people's lives.

He just wanted what he learned to benefit the Han people.

Let the Han people have enough food and clothing and live happily.

Is he wrong about this?

This was the period during which he served as the Minister of Agriculture.

It greatly increased the Han Dynasty's grain production and fed a lot of people.

And thanks to his efforts, he helped His Majesty reduce taxes, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and even allowed him to set up granaries in various counties.

These measures have steadily improved the national strength of the Han Dynasty and the population has continued to grow.

He felt that he had made contributions to the Han Dynasty and had not done anything to let down the Zhang family.

But what was that look in Zhang Xiangqi’s eyes just now?
As if he was some kind of eternal sinner.

He was indeed sorry to the Zhang family, but he had never done anything to let the Han people down.

The Zhang family also grew and prospered under his protection.

He believed that he had not violated the family teachings.

Just when Zhang Xingmin was about to catch up and ask for clarification.

A servant suddenly came over.

"Master Zhang, His Majesty is affectionate!"

When Zhang Xingmin heard this, his body stiffened for a moment, then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the follower who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"When did you come here?"

When did this person appear beside him?

Did he hear anything?
What Zhang Xiangqi just said was extremely treasonous.

If Liu Fuling heard this, he might take direct action against the Zhang family.

The attendant next to him looked at Zhang Xingmin who looked nervous and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Zhang, I didn't hear a word that I shouldn't have heard."

"Master Zhang, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time in Weiyang Palace. Please come over and have a chat."

Zhang Xingmin looked at the followers in front of him.

I felt extremely uneasy.

Then quickly came to Liu Fuling's Weiyang Palace.

As he walked, Zhang Xingmin became more and more nervous.

What are the things that cannot be said in public?
He was about to leave the imperial city, but His Majesty stopped him at this time and asked him to return to Weiyang Palace to discuss matters. Could it be because of the Zhang family's matter?

Zhang Xingmin was feeling anxious.

He arrived at the Weiyang Palace panting and anxious.

"Master Zhang, please!"

The attendant looked at Zhang Xingmin and made a gesture of invitation to him.

Zhang Xingmin looked at the people around him and had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the Weiyang Palace.

When Zhang Xingmin entered the Weiyang Palace.

Then he saw Liu Fuling writing furiously above.

have to say.

Liu Fuling was indeed a qualified emperor.

Although he was young, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of being the emperor of a country.

When Liu Fuling ascended the throne, he did not do anything to enhance the strength of the Han Dynasty.

Instead, it made the Han Dynasty prosper.

Liu Fuling was the wise ruler in his mind.

He didn't want to be that kind of person.

But he happens to be a member of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has always been a special existence in the Han Dynasty.

Because most of the talented people in the Zhang family died during the development of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, a large number of people were not included in history books.

This is undoubtedly an attempt to erase the achievements of their Zhang family.

Of course, most people still have names.

And recorded in history.

For the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xingmin was also hesitant.

He stood in the hall of Weiyang Palace for a long time.

I don't know when my thoughts drifted away.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Only then did Liu Fuling look up.

It was only when he saw Zhang Xingmin not far away that he reacted.

He immediately stood up from his chair, walked around the dragon table, went to Zhang Xingmin, and helped him up.

"Look at my memory!"

"I have been busy with matters in the southwest recently, so I cannot investigate for the time being. I hope Master Zhang will forgive me."

"You bastards, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring a table to Master Zhang!"

Liu Fuling yelled at the followers beside him.

The attendant next to him immediately walked down and brought a desk to Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Xingmin felt warm in his heart.

The injustice just now disappeared in an instant.

Then he looked at Liu Fuling seriously and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am fine!"

"Lord Zhang, I asked you to come here this time because I have something important for you to do!"

Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Xingmin seriously.

He told Zhang Xingmin what he wanted to do.

Zhang Xingmin can be said to be a gentleman.

And he is truly a gentleman.

The Zhang family trained Zhang Xingmin very well.

Moreover, he was brought up very properly, so that he could not overcome the obstacle in his heart.

When he had just ascended the throne.

I have also heard about Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin from Da Sima.

Both Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin are much older than him.

When these two men first entered the court, they were already adults.

The two men worked together.

However, they were all ranked among the Nine Ministers in a short period of time.

Extremely powerful.

When his father died.

He also appointed these two people as assistant ministers, with two prime ministers in one family. This had never happened before.

But he is young.

Can't resist.

I can only secretly pay attention to the personalities of Zhang Xingmin and Zhang Wei.

He was afraid of people following Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Xingmin is different from Zhang Wei.

Zhang Xingmin followed the path of a civil official.

Although he has studied martial arts, his knowledge is not particularly deep.

His people can follow Zhang Xingmin safely and monitor his every move.

Based on his years of exploration.

He already knew Zhang Xingmin's habits very well.

these years.

He has always done things according to Zhang Xingmin's preferences.

In the court, he often encouraged Zhang Xingmin, allowing Zhang Xingmin to let go and do what he wanted to do.

Zhang Xingmin gradually let down his guard.

He even thought he was a wise ruler.

And it is intended to belong to oneself.

As he was investigating these two people.

I also know that these two people are not as close and respectful to each other as rumored.

Especially Zhang Xingmin.

Although Zhang Xingmin is a gentleman, he is also a human being.

He also has his own little thoughts.

After Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin got married, they lived separately.

As the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Wei naturally has to live in the residence of previous heads of the family.

Zhang Xingmin had to move out of the main house.

They clearly entered Beijing together.

Let’s enter the court together.

But Zhang Wei's halo is above Zhang Xingmin.

Maybe it’s because Zhang Wei is the elder brother.

This also led to Zhang Xingmin being suppressed by Zhang Wei and unable to raise his head.

Under such circumstances, even a gentleman will have some resentment in his heart over time.

It was precisely for this reason that he was able to take advantage of the situation and win over Zhang Xingmin's heart.

"Your Majesty, if you wish, I will do my best to fulfill it."

as predicted.

After Zhang Xingmin heard Liu Fuling's wish.

Get this matter sorted out immediately.

In his opinion, this matter was not a big deal.

Isn't it just following Zhang Xiangqi to the Protectorate of the Western Regions?

He had been worried about Zhang Xiangqi going to the Western Regions alone.

Now that he is with him, he can also look after Zhang Xiangqi.

"So good!"

Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Xingmin with a smile on his face, and then said: "My dear minister, you are indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. With you here, I feel like I have an extra arm!"

"Thank you so much, my dear!"

As Liu Fuling spoke, he took a step back and bowed deeply to Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Xingmin was very pleased with Liu Fuling's courtesy and politeness, and then he hurried forward, lifted Liu Fuling up, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me, an old minister!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will accomplish this for Your Majesty. Please rest assured!" (End of this chapter)
