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

He had already received news from Kyoto.

I also know the good things Liu Shi did in Kyoto.

Liu Shi was a man with no opinion of his own.

And he is a very easy-going person.

In this situation, he is easy to be taken advantage of.

In particular, Liu Shi was particularly fond of eunuchs.

These eunuchs are also ambitious people.

Because they were humiliated by others in the imperial city, no one took them seriously.

Liu Shi now suddenly gave them power.

It will certainly fuel their ambitions.

The Pre-Qin Dynasty was destroyed by eunuchs.

Why don't they learn from their mistakes?
Although he didn't want to support the big man anymore.

But Liu Shi was a very good puppet emperor.

As long as Liu Shi stays in power longer, the Zhang family will be able to make better plans.

Even if the Zhang family members are not in the court, they can still influence the government.

Under such circumstances, the Zhang family is the safest.

More opportunities for development.

He can strengthen his race.

This body of his is not married yet.

After all, the people he manipulated had only just reached adulthood this year.

The crowning ceremony has not yet taken place!

He is even much younger than Zhang Xiangyi.

Wanting to be Zhang Xiangyi, Zhang Wei felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

He now wants to see what achievements Zhang Xiangyi can make for the Zhang family.

When Zhang Xiangyi was born.

The system gave him a very high evaluation.

It can even make the whole world submit to it.

This is enough to show that Zhang Xiangyi is very qualified.

Moreover, Zhang Xiangyi is both civil and military.

Under his leadership, Zhang Xiangyi had already traveled to the beautiful land of the Han Dynasty at a very young age.

I also experienced the hardships of people's lives.

I also learned about all kinds of dark things.

He let Zhang Xiangyi see the corruption of local officials in the Han Dynasty.

It also allowed Zhang Xiangyi to see the little-known simple folk customs.

It also allowed Zhang Xiangyi to experience what it was like to be an honest official.

In short, he had taught Zhang Xiangyi everything he needed to learn.

As for what Zhang Xiangyi will become, we can only let nature take its course.

Seeing Zhang Wei agreed so readily.

Gan Yanshou was a little confused.

Don't you have any objection?
He thought Zhang Wei had to ask the reason no matter what.

I didn't expect Zhang Wei to agree so readily.

This makes him a bit of a villain.

"When will General Zhang set off?"

Having said this, Gan Yanshou naturally wouldn't slap himself in the face, so he could only ask the question with gritted teeth.

"Let's leave immediately." Zhang Wei responded.

He bowed to Gan Yanshou, then left the battalion commander's room.

This time, Zhang Wei did not bring many people with him, only two personal guards, and then he left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the northern military camp.

Gan Yanshou was originally going to see him off.

But when he saw Zhang Wei's disappearing back, Gan Yanshou stopped.

After Zhang Wei completely disappeared, Gan Yanshou looked at the military advisor beside him and asked, "Xiao Guo, what do you think he meant by this?"

“Do you really understand or just pretend to understand?”

"Everyone knows that returning to the Imperial City right now is definitely a huge chore, but why did he agree so readily? Is there any turning point in this matter?"

Gan Yanshou was a little confused about Zhang Wei's mental state.

In the entire Western Regions Protectorate.

Everyone knows it's a chore.

Everyone he supported avoided this matter like the plague.

No one wanted to return to the imperial city.

His first choice was not Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei can be said to be his right-hand man.

The ability is also outstanding.

If Zhang Wei were allowed to stay in the Western Regions Protectorate, he would be his greatest help.

But something happened suddenly.

And no one on his side agreed to return to the imperial city.

There was no other way, he could only put the blame on Zhang Wei.

He planned to give Zhang Wei some compensation.

Zhang Wei can even buy a house in the imperial city.

But I didn't have time to say these words.

Zhang Wei actually agreed readily.

This left Gan Yanshou completely puzzled.

"Perhaps General Zhang wants to go back." The military advisor said, "After all, Kyoto is where the Zhang family's roots are."

Zhang Wei is different from them.

After they came to the Western Regions.

But he came with his family.

We must take root here and be prepared to die fighting for the Han Dynasty.

But Zhang Wei is different.

Zhang Wei was transferred from another camp.

Zhang Wei is a member of the Zhang family, so he is naturally proficient in the basics.

It is reasonable for them to go back now.

And Zhang Wei is one of the most suitable people to convey the message.

Because he is from the Zhang family.

Even if the Zhang family disobeyed the imperial order, as long as the reason is legitimate, Your Majesty will not do anything to them.

This is the Zhang family's natural protective barrier.

As long as you don't commit treason.

There will basically be no problems with the Zhang family.

Therefore, it was within his expectations that Zhang Wei would return to the imperial city now.

"Maybe!"

Gan Yanshou looked at the direction Zhang Wei left and muttered to himself.

Zhang Wei hasn't been here for particularly long.

But Zhang Wei did a lot of things that were beneficial to the Han Dynasty.

Even a series of reforms have been carried out here.

Under Zhang Wei's reform.

It's really much better here.

Even the control over the Western Regions has become stronger.

They are also more efficient in handling things.

Zhang Wei also developed a special military training method in the military camp.

This military training method can help soldiers develop a tacit understanding and enable them to obey orders.

within a short period of time.

It can transform a new recruit into a real veteran.

This is a phenomenon that has never happened before.

If they were recruiting new soldiers.

They will definitely be thrown into the boot camp.

Let them train in there for three months, until they have acquired sufficient strength and mastered the basics.

He sent them into battle.

If there is an emergency in the war.

These conscripted civilians will go directly to the battlefield with machetes.

Whether they can survive depends on their luck.

But Zhang Wei's training method can allow them to get familiar with each other in a short time.

It can also allow them to develop extremely strong tacit understanding in a short period of time.

It allows them to exert their greatest strength on the battlefield.

In this way, their survival rate on the battlefield will be greatly improved.

Such a talented person actually came to the remote Western Regions.

Do they want to regain control of the Western Regions?
The Western Regions were originally in the hands of the Zhang family.

However, the previous Marquis of Zhengbei has passed away.

After the death of Marquis Zhengbei, power in the Western Regions fell into the hands of others. It was he who reorganized the forces and gathered all power together again.

After the power is gathered.

It was natural for him to become the Protector General of the Western Regions.

Zhang Wei is now appearing in the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Is he trying to take back control of the Western Regions?

If so, then...

He may not be Zhang Wei's opponent.

Gan Yanshou was worried.

Zhang Wei, whom he was thinking about, was now rushing back to the imperial city.

When Zhang Wei returned to Kyoto.

Several major events have occurred in the capital.

Following Xiao Wangzhi's suicide by drinking poison, many voices opposing the eunuchs' autocracy emerged in the court.

Perhaps these voices were suppressed by the eunuchs and their relatives.

Under the alliance between eunuchs and relatives of the emperor's wife, their power has reached its peak. They even killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to eliminate dissidents.

Especially Hong Gong.

Hong Gong is now the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

He is also the person that Your Majesty relies on most.

This person has the right to speak before Your Majesty.

His words were very useful to Liu Shi.

As Hong Gong's power grew.

A group of extremely flattering villains gathered around him.

These people gathered around Hong Gong, doing things for him and passing on news from the outside world to him.

After Hong Gong learned the news outside, his ambition grew even more, and then he joined forces with Shi Gao to prepare for a big move.

Shi Gao is now on board the pirate ship.

It's too late to think further.

Because Hong Gong's power is already strong enough.

Once he says no, the other party can turn around and deal with him.

Even though Hong Gong poses no threat to him now.

But he could not stop whispering in your Majesty's ears.

This man serves His Majesty.

Even the murder of a court minister could be easily covered up by His Majesty.

This is enough to show how much Your Majesty favors this person.

Moreover, the person who was killed was your Majesty’s teacher.

It was Xiao Wangzhi who was personally appointed as the Prince's Tutor by the previous emperor.

Such a powerful person can be easily understood by Hong Gong.

What’s more, I am the Marquis of Leling.
All he needs to do now is pretend that he knows nothing.

I can only pretend that I know nothing.

Only in this way can you save your own life.

Maybe God is blessing Shi Gao.

Not long after Xiao Wangzhi's death, Hong Gong, who was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, suddenly died.

After Hong Gong passed away, everyone was very happy.

pity.

Their good days didn't last long.

Shi Xian directly became the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

The post of Zhongshu Ling was still held by eunuchs.

After Shi Xian came to power, the balance of power became drastically unbalanced and tilted towards Shi Xian.

Liu Shi was a man without any prejudice, after learning that Shi Xian was so capable.

Out of trust in him and for the sake of his own health, Liu Shi actually entrusted all state affairs to Shi Xian.

No matter how big or small the matter was, Shi Xian was asked to report to him.

Ever since.

Shi Xian's authority in the court grew day by day, and everyone knew that he was the emperor's most trusted person.

Everyone below the dukes and ministers was afraid of him.

Shi Xian has become a man whose words are law and everyone is very afraid of him.

Although Liu Shi was the emperor.

But he did not really take charge of the government.

Shi Xian basically has the final say on most matters.

This also led to a sharp decline in the Han Dynasty's national strength.

In addition, Liu Shi was too naive about this matter.

After he came to power, he always felt that these eunuchs were sincere to him and that they were homeless.

Can only rely on imperial power.

Their rights were given by him alone, and with one order from him, these people will have no one to rely on.

Naturally, they will be loyal to him and work for him.

But he underestimated human nature.

Even though eunuchs are a group of castrated people.

But they are still human after all.

They will not lose confidence in themselves just because they are missing a certain part.

They still have their own ambitions.

Liu Shi now gave them the power.

Let their ambitions expand rapidly.

Liu Shi's power was equivalent to giving them wings.

Let them have nothing to worry about.

It also opened the history of eunuchs' autocracy.

After Zhang Wei returned to the capital.

He immediately saw Zhang Xiangyi.

When Zhang Xiangyi learned that Zhang Wei was coming back, he immediately sent someone to greet him.

For some unknown reason, Zhang Xiangyi happened to be in the capital recently. When he learned that Zhang Wei had returned, he went out to greet him in person.

Looking at the carriage approaching from afar.

Zhang Xiangyi had a blank expression on his face.

The whole person seemed very calm and indifferent.

There were several guards standing next to Zhang Xiangyi, who were there to protect his safety.

After the carriage approached.

Someone immediately came forward and placed a stool.

Zhang Wei got down from the carriage.

He was wearing armor.

I didn't even have time to change my clothes.

After getting off the carriage, Zhang Wei saw Zhang Xiangyi not far away.

Haven't seen you for a few years.

Zhang Xiangyi looked a little older.

Compared to his body, Zhang Xiangyi is already over fifty years old.

The moment Zhang Xiangyi saw Zhang Wei.

A smile appeared on his face, then he walked forward and nodded at Zhang Wei.

"General Zhang, I have long heard of your great name!"

Zhang Wei bowed to Zhang Xiangyi and said, "I hope you are well, Master."

The two chatted for a while.

Then he went straight to Tianxia Restaurant.

Zhang Xiangyi has already set up a banquet here to welcome Zhang Wei.

It was according to the rules.

After Zhang Wei returns to the capital, he should immediately enter the imperial city to pay homage to His Majesty.

But Your Majesty has now stopped caring about state affairs, and all power has fallen into the hands of eunuchs.

It doesn’t matter if you go or not.

Moreover, Shi Xian and others probably don't want to see anyone from the Zhang family.

After Shi Xian came to power, he even wanted to extend his control to Zhang's Business.

He had taught the other party a lesson several times, but the other party didn't seem to care and instead insisted on having his own way.

This did annoy him a little.

But it's still within his control.

If Zhang Wei returns now, he might fall into the hands of the other party.

After the two entered the Tianxia Restaurant.

Zhang Xiangyi then talked to Zhang Wei about the current situation in the capital.

The capital has now formed a three-way confrontation.

There were three competing forces: relatives by marriage, eunuchs and Confucian officials.

The three parties are balanced in strength.

But after the death of Zhongshu Ling Hong Gong.

After Shi Xian came to power, this balance was quietly broken, and all power was tilting towards Shi Xian.

The other party has now become a being that can cover the sky with one hand.

Moreover, Liu Shi trusted Shi Xian very much and did not believe what others said at all.

This also led to Shi Xian's high position in the court, and he was even able to control the government, and he was also a person who was good at forming cliques.

He also joined forces with his maternal relatives and officials at all levels to form a powerful group.

With the support of their maternal relatives and Liu Shi, they coordinated internal and external efforts, stirred up trouble in the court, and united to attack dissidents.

It can be described as extremely arrogant.

Zhang Xiangyi said a lot.

Finally concluded.

The Han Dynasty is about to collapse, and the Zhang family will choose another wise leader.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Xiangyi.

He originally thought that Zhang Xiangyi was just a man of both civil and military talents, capable of pacifying the world.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiangyi actually has such big ambitions.

It has only been a short time, but they have already started planning for the future.

"Then who do you think is suitable?" Zhang Wei asked.

There was a hint of curiosity in his words. He wanted to know what Zhang Xiangyi thought about the affairs of the court and his predictions for the future.

Zhang Xiangyi looked at Zhang Wei deeply.

Then he wrote a line of words on the desktop.

Crown Prince Liu Ao.

Crown Prince Liu Ao was the eldest son of Liu Shi.

Not too old at the moment.

But he inherited his father's style and is a person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

If Liu Ao were allowed to come to power, the foreign relatives behind him would become stronger again, which might reverse the phenomenon of eunuchs' monopoly of power.

However, simply reversing the phenomenon of eunuchs' monopoly of power could not save the Han Dynasty from its declining national strength. (End of this chapter)
