"If someone under my command says something inappropriate, I will ask him to apologize to you?"

"However, what the people around me said is what I meant."

"Zhang's business was previously troubled by the big man, and it almost destroyed all the efforts of Zhang's business over the years."

"Don't you want revenge?"

"The emperor today is incompetent, has no independent opinion, and is weak. It is obvious that he will die young. Instead of following such a short-lived king, it is better to join someone else's school!"

"Our Chanyu is a man of great talent and broad-minded. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we will definitely not let the incident at Zhang's Company happen again!"

"We can also let the owner of Zhang's Trading Company become a prince, with his own troops and territory. What's wrong with that?"

The Xiongnu general saw that these people were very emotional.

I don't plan to play it safe with them anymore.

Just state your purpose directly.

He just wants to cooperate with the people in front of him.

If the people from Zhang's Company agree, they can naturally cooperate with the other party from inside and outside.

Zhang's Trading Company can provide them with information.

They can formulate plans against the Han people based on the intelligence provided by the other party.

Since the Zhang Family Trading Company appeared in the Xiongnu city, it meant that they were interested in cooperating with them.

Moreover, the Zhang family's business had been suppressed by the Han royal family before.

The Han royal family was not willing to allow Zhang's Trading Company to continue to exist. If Zhang's Trading Company helped the Han Dynasty to grow bigger and stronger, the Han Dynasty would definitely deal with Zhang's Trading Company in the end.

The other party will understand this logic.

He does.

He just wanted to win people over blatantly.

The Han people heard the other side openly exposing their ambitions.

The horror in his eyes was completely revealed.

They looked at the Hun general in front of them with shock.

These people have really big hearts.

They actually wanted to use Zhang's business for their own purposes.

How can it be?

Just when everyone thought Zhang Wei would refuse.

Zhang Wei nodded: "It's not impossible!"

Ok?
As soon as Zhang Wei started talking, everyone around him was shocked.

They all turned their heads.

He looked at Zhang Wei with a puzzled look.

Zhang Wei agreed so readily.

It's so easy to agree, what if the Huns go back on their word?
"happy!"

After the Xiongnu general saw Zhang Wei agreed.

A hint of joy instantly appeared on his face.

Then he stood up from the ground.

Then walk to the center of the tent.

Then he took the dagger used to cut lamb and made a deep cut in the palm of his hand.

"In that case, why don't we swear an oath of blood and form a contract?"

"As long as I am here, I will protect the Zhang Family Business and help it flourish in Xiongnu!"

"Let Zhang's company gain a firm foothold in the north."

ha?
This person's words made everyone in Zhang's company want to laugh.

If they want to enter the northern grasslands or the Huns area.

Do you need help from others?

The goods in their hands were the supplies that the Huns needed most.

Whenever they appeared in the northern grasslands, they were snatched away.

How could I be treated like this?

It's ridiculous to hear the other party say such a ridiculous statement.

They couldn't help laughing.

Then he glanced secretly at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei didn't react at all.

He just glanced at the blood in the other person's hand.

Then he imitated him, lightly cut it with a knife, and dripped a little blood into the wine bowl.

This wine is originally cheese wine fermented with cheese.

The taste is very strange.

And there is a fishy smell.

It’s a bit unbearable to eat it normally.

Not to mention that the cheese here is very pure.

The fermented taste is also very special.

Plus a little blood.

The fishy smell was so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Zhang Wei just glanced at it casually.

Finally, he put the wine glass aside and didn't intend to drink it.

When the Hun general saw that Zhang Wei had this intention, he didn't take it too seriously.

As long as the other party is willing to cooperate with him, his mission is accomplished.

After the blood alliance process was over.

The Xiongnu general said to Zhang Wei: "I heard that the Zhang Family Business has a special intelligence network that can know all the actions of the Han Dynasty."

"Do you know the situation in the Western Regions Protectorate?"

"How many soldiers does the Western Region Protectorate have? What is their city defense map like? Is there any way to infiltrate them?"

The Hun general is really rude.

Ask directly.

In fact, he didn't take Zhang Wei and others seriously.

After all, this is his territory.

As long as someone enters his territory, he doesn't care whether the other person lives or dies.

If the other party agrees, he will naturally give the other party a way to survive.

If the other party does not agree, he will definitely not let him survive.

no matter who.

All are handled in this way.

Everyone in Zhang's firm was stunned by the other party's remarks.

It seems like these people want to give nothing at all?
Are you trying to get something for nothing?

How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Could it be the promise he just made?

They are all just empty promises and are of no use to them at all.

The people from Zhang's Business looked at Zhang Wei with some concern.

I hope the adults won’t agree again?

Just when they were confused, Zhang Wei nodded again and said to the person in front of him: "Okay!"

This time it was not just the Huns' great general.

Even the people at Zhang's Commercial Bank were horrified.

This is too quick to agree.

The Hun general was delighted to hear Zhang Wei agree so readily.

His expression twisted.

He just said this to test Zhang Wei's attitude.

Want to see if Zhang Wei is really interested in cooperating with them.

If Zhang Wei is interested in cooperating with them, he naturally has to show some sincerity.

But if Zhang Wei has no intention of cooperating with them, he will definitely let them leave sideways.

Unexpectedly, this conversation went so smoothly.

The people from Zhangjia Commercial Bank were actually willing to support them.

This was an unexpected surprise.

After the Xiongnu general and Zhang Wei reached an agreement.

The two of them gathered together.

Then he asked all other irrelevant people to leave the tent.

After these people left, the Hun general looked at Zhang Wei with hope.

"Mr. Zhang, can you give me the defense map of the Western Region Protectorate?"

He thought that this thing was carried by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei just needs to leave it to him.

But who knows.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Wei looked at him curiously: "General, you didn't prepare any ink for me. How can I draw a defense map?"

What?
Now it was the Hun general's turn to be surprised.

what?
Draw it yourself.

He thought Zhang Wei had already prepared this thing, but he didn't expect that he would have to operate it himself.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Zhang Wei’s ability.

But this thing is crucial.

What if you draw a wrong line on this thing?

Those are all deadly.

What if Zhang Wei played a trick on him, and when their army arrived at the Western Region Protectorate, the other side suddenly counterattacked, how would they respond?

"Mr. Zhang, are you playing a trick on me?"

"The location of the Western Region Protectorate is very special. Their existence is meant to intimidate the Western Region countries!"

"We have already sent people into the Western Region Protectorate, but we have not been able to find any evidence of their existence or the focus of their defense!"

"Every time someone enters the Western Region Protectorate, they will be discovered and brutally killed!"

"If our people can enter the Western Region Protectorate safely, we won't have to ask Mr. Zhang for help."

"Since Mr. Zhang is interested in cooperating with us, why don't you think about it carefully?"

"Are we really sincere?"

The Xiongnu general looked at Zhang Wei dimly.

Zhang Wei smiled and looked at the Xiongnu general: "This kind of thing is also very important. How can others draw it?"

"If it weren't for the special nature of Zhang's company, it would be very difficult for us to know the defense map of the Western Regions Protectorate. Since the general doesn't believe it, I'll take my leave." He was ready to turn around and leave.

When the Xiongnu general saw Zhang Wei was about to leave, he suddenly panicked.

Then he suddenly stepped forward and stopped Zhang Wei, and asked someone to prepare pen and ink for Zhang Wei.

After the pen and ink are ready.

Zhang Wei looked at the things in front of him and thought for a while.

Then write quickly on it.

Not long after, a large picture appeared on the paper.

The Xiongnu general next to him looked at the topographic map of the Western Regions Protectorate, which had already taken shape in rough size, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

He didn't believe what Zhang Wei said at first.

Now that he saw the words "Western Regions Protectorate" printed on paper, he finally believed it.

After Zhang Wei finishes the painting.

The other party took the thing considerately.

Then ask someone to pack up the pens and ink.

Zhang Wei was also given some hand-washing supplies.

He put the picture away carefully.

To prevent the ink from contaminating other places.

He blew on it very carefully, and after the ink was dry, he started to clean up.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang."

"If we can capture the Western Regions Protectorate, Mr. Zhang will be the first to achieve great success there. I will definitely commend him to the Chanyu!"

After the other party finished speaking.

Couldn't wait to leave the tent.

Before leaving the tent, he was very considerate and assigned a team to Zhang Wei and others.

Allow them to roam freely in the area.

Zhang Wei naturally would not refuse.

He looked at the other person's back as he left, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Can it be done?

It depends on whether these people believe it or not.

……

at the same time.

In Kyoto.

When Zhang Wei is not around.

Kyoto is in chaos.

Especially the struggle for power.

Now the curtain has been raised.

In addition, Liu Shi only trusted Confucianists.

This caused the other party to ignore Marquis Leling, causing his power to fall into the hands of others.

Marquis of Leling was originally the chief minister appointed by the late emperor.

Originally it was to assist Liu Shi.

But Liu Shi followed the other two and sidelined himself.

As he was not taken seriously, Marquis Leling gradually became unbalanced.

In addition, Shi Xian took the initiative to surrender.

After a brief thought, Marquis Leling decided to cooperate with Shi Xian and Hong Gong.

Shi Xian and Hong Gong had a large group in the imperial city. Their sources of information were wide and the information they received was very accurate.

We can even know our Majesty's subjective opinion.

After cooperating with Shi Xian.

They began to target Xiao Wangzhi.

Xiao Wangzhi originally came from a Confucian background.

What he advocated was governing the country with benevolence.

Plus what he called gentlemanly demeanor.

Let him disdain to do something.

This also led to the fact that Xiao Wangzhi had never been on guard against Marquis Leling.

This also laid the seeds for Xiao Wangzhi's death.

When Xiao Wangzhi realized that someone was targeting him, he fought back and even joined forces with the young master to resist together.

pity.

All failed.

this day.

Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan saw hope for implementing benevolent policies.

In addition, Your Majesty has great trust in them.

The influence of Confucian officials is growing rapidly.

Marquis Leling in the court naturally couldn't stand it.

So he planned to take action against these two people.

At the same time, a rift arose between him and Xiao Wangzhi.

From then on, the shadow of power struggle shrouded the entire court.

In addition, Xiao Wangzhi once made suggestions to Your Majesty.

Tell Your Majesty not to listen to the eunuchs.

We must not allow eunuchs to become the Minister of the Secretariat.

But how could Liu Shi listen?
In Liu Shi's eyes.

Eunuchs are much more useful than Xiao Wangzhi and others.

Xiao Wangzhi and others all have families and in-laws.

Under the influence of these factors.

There was no way they could truly submit to him.

I just want to get the power from him.

But eunuchs are different.

Because eunuchs have no families, they don't contact people outside.

Plus, they won't have children.

Without children or family, they would have no ties and would be solely loyal to him.

But what he never expected was.

He favored Confucian officials, which caused Leling Hou to be dissatisfied with him.

This pushed Marquis Leling to the side of the eunuchs.

Shi Gao and the eunuchs echoed each other inside and outside.

At the same time, he opposed Xiao Wangzhi's reform proposals.

This made it impossible for Xiao Wangzhi's policies to be implemented.

When Xiao Wangzhi saw this situation, he became extremely worried. He was afraid that the external relatives would become too indulgent and the eunuchs would usurp power, so he made suggestions to Liu Shi.

In Weiyang Palace.

Xiao Wangzhi said to Liu Shi earnestly, "Your Majesty, the Central Government is the foundation of national politics and should be managed by wise and fair people."

"During Emperor Wu's reign, eunuchs were appointed to manage the Secretariat. This is not in accordance with the old system of the country and violates the ancient principle of 'not being close to criminals'. This must be corrected."

Liu Shi was originally an indecisive person.

I heard my master asking me to change politics.

The whole person is extremely conflicted.

Moreover, they are weak in character, lack independent thinking, dare not make any adjustments, and discuss for a long time without making a decision.

Naturally, this matter was known to Zhongshu Ling Hong Gong and Pushe Shi Xian.

When they learned that Xiao Wangzhi wanted to target them.

They began to find ways to join forces with the two in-laws, Shi and Xu, to deal with us, Xiao Wangzhi.

Xiao Wangzhi was originally a man of integrity and honesty.

And he is a decent person.

He simply disdains to resort to conspiracy or intrigue.

Under the strong alliance of the other party.

How could Xiao Wangzhi possibly be their opponent with their internal and external cooperation?

It didn't take long.

Xiao Wangzhi could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by drinking poison!

When Liu Shi learned about this, he was naturally shocked and immediately asked Hong Gong, Shi Xian and others to come to Weiyang Palace.

Hong Gong and Shi Xian knew that Liu Shi had conveyed the imperial edict.

Put aside what you are doing immediately.

Arrive at Weiyang Palace soon.

Just entered the Weiyang Palace.

Liu Shi's furious voice was heard from inside.

"They are just slaves, yet they dare to murder ministers in the court. Who gave them the courage?"

Hong Gong and Shi Xian stood outside the Weiyang Palace.

The two of them looked at each other.

Then they exchanged glances.

After understanding each other's meaning, they stepped forward and respectfully opened the door.

After pushing the door open.

A teacup suddenly fell at their feet and broke into pieces.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The two men immediately fell to their knees.

Prepare to repeat the same old trick.

Liu Shi looked at the two people kneeling on the porcelain pieces, his eyes filled with anger.

Then he suddenly stepped forward and kicked each of them.

Kick the person to the ground.

"How dare you be so bold? He is my master!"

"That was the regent left to me by the late emperor. How dare you team up with your relatives to attack my master? Do you still have me in your eyes?" (End of this chapter)
