"hiss!"

Zhang Xingmin was totally unprepared.

He was hit directly and couldn't help but gasp and took a step back.

After coming to his senses, Zhang Xingmin looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face.

Then he said, “What are you doing?”

After all, he is the second master of the main lineage.

This person is just a member of a side branch.

Even younger than them.

If Zhang Wei hadn't insisted on cultivating him, this man would never have become the Protector General.

Zhang Wei has trained this person now, but he didn't expect that he would actually attack himself. Zhang Xingmin couldn't believe it.

Zhang Xiangqi looked at Zhang Xingmin coldly, and without saying a word, he suddenly stepped forward, gave him another big bag, then grabbed his collar and said viciously.

"General, you have fought hard on the battlefield and finally achieved what you have today. But you want to destroy it all. What on earth are you thinking?"

"Are you still a member of the Zhang family?"

"You are a direct descendant of the Zhang family. You should stand together with the head of the family. How can you..."

How could you do such a stupid thing?

Zhang Xiangqi was no longer able to speak.

He looked at Zhang Xingmin coldly.

If this person and Zhang Wei were not from the same mother.

He will definitely get rid of this person completely and prevent any future trouble.

Zhang Xingmin's existence poses too many hidden dangers.

Because this person has forgotten the Zhang family.

Forgot everything the general fought for in the north.

And there is also the Zhang family’s long-cherished wish!
Obviously, all of this is under their control.

But someone wants to go against them.

Whether it is the current prime minister or General Sima who is far in the north.

Both of them wanted to take action against the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei and his team are all working hard to move forward, and have paid a huge price to ensure that the Zhang family can take root firmly on this land.

Finally, we see hope for the Zhang family to survive.

But this man wanted to destroy their hopes.

This is simply unreasonable.

It would be better if Zhang Xingmin didn’t hear Zhang Wei.

As soon as I heard someone speak well of Zhang Wei.

Zhang Xingmin couldn't help it. He suddenly got up from the ground and pushed Zhang Xiangqi aside.

"Everything is Zhang Wei."

"In your eyes, the Zhang family only has Zhang Wei, right?"

"I am also the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. I can also be a supporter of the Zhang family."

"Why don't you try to trust me for once?"

Zhang Xingmin roared.

It was like this before and it is still like this now.

In the eyes of these people, it seems that Zhang Wei is the only available person in the entire Zhang family.

The others are just Zhang Wei's foils.

But he has worked hard for so long and has established a firm foothold in the court.

He has also done so many things that benefit the people.

He doesn't think of himself as incompetent.

If you want to blame someone, blame these people for being blind.

When Zhang Xiangqi heard Zhang Xingmin say this, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

This man is hopeless.

Thinking of what the master had told him before he went to the north, a hint of coldness appeared in Zhang Xiangqi's eyes.

There is no point in continuing to support this person.

To them, the Zhang family's foundation is above all else.

Anyone who dares to hinder their progress will go to hell.

Whether it is people from the main branch or the branch, they all know this rule. Since Zhang Xingmin has violated the rules, don't blame them for being rude.

"Second Master, you are so confused."

"You are so successful in the court because the head of the family has been carrying all the burdens for you. If it weren't for the head of the family, how could you sit safely in the position of Minister of Agriculture?"

"Since you have no intention of considering the Zhang family, from now on, all the people in the Zhang family will no longer obey your orders."

"Since you have risen to the throne based on your own abilities, then you should use your own abilities to gain a firm foothold in the court."

After Zhang Xiangqi finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xingmin with disappointment, turned around and left the mansion.

Zhang Xingmin watched Zhang Xiangqi leave.

He looked a little dazed.

He was able to become the Minister of Agriculture because of Zhang Wei.

impossible.

This is absolutely impossible.

He was clearly appointed by His Majesty himself.

Moreover, after he became the Minister of Agriculture, he never did anything to let down the Han Dynasty. He always worked diligently and sincerely, and also increased the grain production for the Han Dynasty.

He was a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty.

He was a loyal and dependable minister of the Han Dynasty.

People like him should be remembered forever.

But why could Zhang Wei say such a thing?
Isn’t he doing all this for the Zhang family’s sake?

As long as the Zhang family has a few more celebrities, they will definitely become the Zhang family's most solid backing.

He did all this for the Zhang family.

Why didn't anyone stand by him?
Because of this little thing, he was forced to evacuate Zhang Family Center directly.

It also cut off the rights of his Zhang family.

How could they be so capable?
Zhang Xingmin didn't believe that Zhang Xiangqi had this ability.

After all, he and Zhang Wei are from the same mother, and he is also one of the heirs to the main lineage.

Zhang Wei is now leading his troops northward. It is not known whether he is dead or alive, and it is still unknown whether he can come back alive.

But he was different.

He is in Kyoto.

If anything happens to Zhang Wei, he will be the only heir to the Zhang family.

He can then replace others and directly control all the rights of the Zhang family.

He didn't think that Zhang Wei would take away his achievements and make him unknown.

Zhang Xingmin didn't take this matter to heart.

After seeing Zhang Xiangqi leave, he did not return to the bedroom, but turned and went to the study.

He's prepared for a rainy day.

He can't just start resisting when he sees others bullying him.

If that's the case, it's a little too late.

Zhang Xiangqi stayed in Kyoto for a few days.

After finishing the tasks assigned to him by Zhang Wei, Zhang Xiangqi began to recruit soldiers and prepared to go to the Western Regions Protectorate.

He is going to the Western Regions to take over the remaining fragments.

The Kingdom of Loulan was naturally among them.

The fact that Loulan rebelled at this time shows that other countries must have been ready to take action.

The big man is really too powerful.

It was so powerful that it left them breathless.

Moreover, the economy of the Han Dynasty was very prosperous.

Crops are also above them.

The Han Dynasty is now thriving, which makes them see the crisis.

The reappearance of the Huns now also gave them a glimmer of hope.

If the Han Dynasty could continue to live in peace like this, it would surely surpass all other countries in the future.

It can even become an extremely powerful being.

This is also what they are most worried about.

Western countries have long wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

This is due to their lack of strength.

Their combat effectiveness and weapons are also inferior to those of the Han Dynasty.

They dared not act rashly until there was no cavalry rebellion.

The appearance of the Huns now gave them a glimmer of hope.

It even gave them an opportunity to take action against the big man.

In any case, the relationship between the Huns and the Han had long been irreconcilable.

There was no way the relationship between them would ever be smoothed over.

The Huns now hate the Han Dynasty to death.

This time he appeared on the grassland and led his troops south, definitely to seek revenge on the Han Dynasty.

The big man is now overwhelmed.

I heard that the Han Dynasty was also in chaos.

This is their chance.

But they are all very smart.

He did not step forward first, but instead pushed the Kingdom of Loulan out.

The Kingdom of Loulan had originally been subservient to the Xiongnu.

But later it was defeated by the Han Dynasty, and the Kingdom of Loulan then turned to submit to the Han Dynasty.

The king of Loulan was once a hostage of another country, so his mental state must not be very good.

In this situation, the two words from the Huns would most likely make the king of Loulan furious.

They only used a little trick to make the King of Loulan attack the Han Dynasty, and they also killed the Han Dynasty's envoys, forcing the Han Dynasty to attack Loulan.

When they heard that the king of Loulan had died at the hands of a Han general, they were not too surprised.

Instead, I feel it is natural.

It was also because of this time that they witnessed the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the countries in the Western Regions.

The big man didn't take them seriously at all.

Once they are allowed to solve the problem of the Huns.

Maybe they will never have a chance to turn things around.

This test allowed them to see the strength of the Han people.

It also allowed them to see the determination of the Han people.

No matter what, they could not quell the civil strife in the Han Dynasty.

And Zhang Xiangqi is responsible for dealing with this matter.

This is also the reason why Liu Fuling asked him to go to the Western Regions.

Because it is really dangerous over there.

Many of those countries disobeyed the Han Dynasty's rule.

There was friction on both sides.

It's just that they were suppressed by force every time.

But these people never gave up.

Zhang Xiangqi knew the challenges he might face on his trip to the Western Regions.

But he had no choice.

After settling the issues in Kyoto, Zhang Xiangqi headed west with those who were willing to follow him.

When Zhang Xiangqi left the capital.

Many people came to see him off.

The vast majority of people are from the Zhang family.

These people stood not far away, looked at Zhang Xiangqi and waved at him.

Among these people.

Of course there are others.

For example, Tian Qianqiu.

Another example is Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Xingmin was standing with Tian Qianqiu at this moment.

The expressions on their faces were inconsistent.

When Tian Qianqiu saw Zhang Xiangqi leave, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

He doesn't have a better mentality than him.

Although there are risks in the Western Regions, there are also great opportunities.

Moreover, Zhang Xiangqi has been conferred the title of Zhengbei Hou by Your Majesty. Not only that, he now also has the position of Protector General.

The Protector-General was the highest administrative official in the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

He holds great power in his hands.

And there are a lot of people involved in the deployment.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed inappropriate for Your Majesty to let Zhang Xiangqi go to the Western Regions and serve as the Protector General.

Zhang Xiangqi was taught by Zhang Wei.

There is no doubt about the strength.

In this situation, it would be best for them to not move.

But Your Majesty wants Zhang Xiangqi to go to the Western Regions.

This is equivalent to giving them a great opportunity.

This is not a good thing.

"The Prime Minister seems a little worried."

Just when Tian Qianqiu was worried, Zhang Xingmin's voice suddenly rang out.

Tian Qianqiu heard Zhang Xingmin's voice.

He turned his head and looked at the person in front of him.

Looking at Zhang Xingmin in front of him, Tian Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh.

They are clearly carved from the same mold.

And they are twins from the same mother.

We grew up in the same environment.

The education they received was also similar.

Why is the gap so big?
Zhang Wei is both civil and military, and is a smart and calm person.

He is worthy of being the helmsman of the Zhang family.

But Zhang Xingmin is different.

When he was young, Zhang Xingmin was indeed one of the good candidates for regent.

He is also a very upright person.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the Supreme Court before.

But since when did this person change?

Zhang Xingmin changed very quickly.

After Emperor Wu's death, Zhang Xingmin and Zhang Wei seemed to have a rift.

The two were no longer brothers.

Moreover, the two brothers no longer discussed anything.

Zhang Wei forges forward alone.

He has made many contributions over the years and even became one of the regent ministers.

In the end, he fought wars in the south and the north, recovered a lot of lost territories for the Han Dynasty, and put down too many rebellions.

Zhang Xingmin, on the other hand, seemed to be well-behaved in the court.

He also became more low-key and calm.

Everyone thought that the two heroes in the family were too powerful, so Zhang Xingmin took the initiative to step back in order to give Zhang Wei room to develop.

Now it seems.

They were all thinking wrongly.

Zhang Xingmin didn't have such an idea.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Xingmin wanted to surpass Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei has just led his troops north and has not yet arrived in the north.

Zhang Xingmin is like a dictator.

Still want to be above everyone else.

He even wanted to gain control of the Zhang family.

This man's ambition is no less than theirs.

Thinking of Zhang Xingmin's background, Tian Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh.

I really don't know the blessing when I am in the blessing.

It took Zhang Wei so much time to build the Zhang family into what it is today.

Obviously everything is moving in the right direction.

But the Zhang family had a fool.

If this continues, everything Zhang Wei has conquered may be lost to this guy.

of course.

It was impossible for him to remind Zhang Xingmin.

Originally, he also wanted to drag the Zhang family into the water.

The Zhang family has developed too rapidly in recent years, and its influence has also grown rapidly.

If the Zhang family is allowed to continue to develop, all of them will be doomed.

They are not fools.

How could I just watch these things happen?

Therefore, after Tian Qianqiu heard Zhang Xingmin say this, he withdrew his gaze.

Then he sighed and said, "How can I not worry?"

"The war in the north has not yet been settled, and something unexpected has happened in the Western Regions."

"Your Majesty has sent people over, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"I'm afraid that after General Zhang goes there, the situation in the Western Region will be out of control. With the few troops General Zhang brought, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist the people in the Western Region."

Tian Qianqiu said in a fake tone.

His face was full of worry.

It looks like the real thing.

Zhang Xingmin glanced at Tian Qianqiu, then looked away.

Isn't this a done deal?
And they are all discerning people.

I also know the purpose of your majesty doing this.

The Zhang family has already placed a large number of people in the court and the military.

These people all hold high positions.

They controlled almost half of the Han Dynasty's court.

If the Zhang family continues to develop like this, the Han Dynasty will have no one available.

Once the Zhang family shows signs of rebellion, the Han Dynasty will be unable to control them.

Liu Fuling did this to prevent future troubles.

If the West was not dangerous, Liu Fuling might not have let Zhang Xiangqi go.

If the strategy of killing someone with a borrowed knife is used well, not only can they get rid of the person they want to get rid of, but they can also make others grateful to them.

This is the way of being a king.

It is also one of the emperor’s strategies.

Zhang Xingmin looked at the people around him and looked away.

Nothing was said.

Both of them knew it.

He just watched Zhang Xingmin's marching troops go away silently.

"Okay, let's go back and report!" Zhang Xingmin looked away after seeing the marching team disappear, and said to Tian Qianqiu. (End of this chapter)
