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

"Homeowner!"

After Zhang Wei entered the study, he looked at Zhang Shengcheng who was sitting next to him and asked.

Zhang Shengcheng heard this.

I couldn't help but look up at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is indeed graceful.

And he is a rare talent among men.

Not only is she extremely beautiful, but she is also extremely talented.

It has always enjoyed a good reputation in the capital.

When Zhang Shengcheng saw Zhang Wei enter the study, he stood up from the desk with a smile on his face and walked to Zhang Wei.

"We just had a hasty farewell, and I haven't had a good reunion with Master Zhang yet."

"Today I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"My father especially admired General Zhang's demeanor. Today I met Master Zhang, and he really has the demeanor of your father!"

Zhang Wei listened to Zhang Shengcheng praising him.

There was no extra expression on his face, he just looked at Zhang Shengcheng silently.

This person definitely didn't ask me to come here for such trivial matters.

He had already heard about what was happening in the court.

I also know what His Majesty wants to do.

After the mourning period ended, Zhang Shengcheng entered the court and was ranked as one of the Nine Ministers, holding a high position of power.

He had no choice but to do it.

At present, the Zhang family has not been able to completely break off relations with the big man.

The superficial relationship still needs to be maintained.

under these circumstances.

Zhang Shengcheng naturally would not refuse Liu Ao's request.

After entering the court, Zhang Shengcheng also displayed his talents and governed the Han Dynasty quite well.

But so what?
The Han Dynasty is now on the verge of collapse.

Liu Ao's balancing strategy has failed.

The prime minister has now abdicated, and all of his family members have been expelled from the capital by Wang Yin.

Today, the Wang family is the dominant family.

Even if the previous Grand Marshal has died.

But this person is no ordinary one.

Even if the other party wanted to resign as Grand Marshal, how could Liu Ao let the Wang family go?
Looking at the entire court, the only people Liu Ao can use are from the Wang family.

What's more, there is a Zhang family nearby who is eyeing them covetously.

If you want to balance the Zhang family, you must support a force that can rival the Zhang family.

Liu Ao didn't trust others.

His uncle's family is the best check and balance.

Even though the Wang family had discovered Liu Ao's intention, it was too late for them to escape perfectly now.

Moreover, the Wang family has already started to take action against the Zhang family.

Although it's insignificant.

But in the eyes of everyone, there is no possibility for the Wang family and the Zhang family to unite.

He has been forced into the middle of the political struggles at court.

Although he tried his best to avoid it, it was extremely difficult for him to do so with Liu Ao steering the ship beside him.

Looking at Zhang Wei beside him, Zhang Shengcheng felt a little relieved.

Then he said to Zhang Wei, "Did Master Zhang hear about what happened in the court?"

After Zhang Shengcheng praised Zhang Wei for a while, he went straight to the point.

Zhang Wei nodded.

Naturally, he had heard about what happened in the court.

I also know why Liu Ao wants to support the Zhang family.

Looking at Zhang Shengcheng, Zhang Wei said, "Does the Patriarch want to take action against the Wang family?"

Zhang Shengcheng heard this.

An ugly look instantly appeared on his face.

Then he nodded: "This is what your majesty meant."

"After Your Majesty attended my father's funeral, he set his sights on the Zhang family."

"The Zhang family has grown so fast in recent years that it has attracted the attention of the civil and military officials in the court."

"Many people have submitted petitions to His Majesty, asking Him to send troops to suppress the development of the Zhang family and at the same time to incorporate the Zhang family's business and let it return to the royal family."

"But this is related to the development of the Zhang family."

"It even concerns the future of the Zhang family."

"How could I have made my own decision?"

"When my father passed away, he mentioned Master Xiao Zhang. Master Xiao Zhang grew up in the Western Regions and doesn't know much about the affairs of Kyoto."

"Others don't know Lord Xiao Zhang either. Lord Xiao Zhang is now a lone minister in the court, and is someone that His Majesty highly values!"

"But Master Xiao Zhang is also a member of the Zhang family. The honor and disgrace of the Zhang family also depends on Master Xiao Zhang. I wonder if Master Xiao Zhang has any good ideas?"

Zhang Shengcheng looked at Zhang Wei with hope.

If only he had another way.

He would not force Zhang Wei here.

He really had no other choice.

Liu Ao pressed harder.

If he didn't do this well.

Liu Ao will definitely let the Wang family take action against them.

Although the other party did things very secretly.

But being forced by His Majesty.

They might take the risk.

This is extremely disadvantageous to the Zhang family.

In the current situation, someone has to come out and break the impasse.

As the head of the Zhang family, no matter what he does, he will be watched by everyone.

He is inconvenient.

If he had no other choice, he would not have allowed Zhang Wei to appear in the Zhang family mansion.

When his father died.

Mr. Zhang’s family was indeed mentioned.

Although Zhang Wei was not well-known in the court.

But everyone knows that Zhang Wei is also a member of the Zhang family.

As long as Zhang Wei is connected to the Zhang family, he is considered a member of the Zhang family.

And Zhang Wei is a particularly smart person.

In the court, he can remain untainted by the mud.

Even if forced by His Majesty, he was able to escape unscathed and even turn the tables. Not everyone can do this.

He needs someone like Zhang Wei right now.

"What's the master's order?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Shengcheng with a smile.

He was about the same age as the man in front of him.

But the other party is the head of the Zhang family.

And he didn't manipulate this person.

Let it develop on its own.

Zhang Shengcheng is average.

Although his talent is not as good as his father's, he is also a rare talent.

Although this person cannot be called a pioneer.

But he can also be said to be a person who maintains the status quo.

I will definitely not let the Zhang family fall.

Even if it is impossible to make the Zhang family stronger again, it can at least allow the Zhang family to maintain the current situation.

And not be schemed by others.

Zhang Shengcheng made the right move.

Under Liu Ao's strong command, the Zhang family was indeed unable to disobey the imperial order.

But you can operate a little bit in this space.

Zhang Shengcheng chose himself to be the person to break the deadlock, and it was a good choice.

because of this.

Only then would Zhang Wei feel at ease listening to Zhang Shengcheng say these things here.

Zhang Shengcheng looked at Zhang Wei.

He frowned and walked back to his seat.

After sitting down, Zhang Shengcheng said, "My talent is not as good as my father's."

“That’s something I know very well.”

"Even if I enter the court, I know my identity and position."

"I am from the Zhang family, so I naturally cannot be loyal to the court. However, His Majesty wants to use me to curb the development of the Wang family."

"He even wants us to hold each other back, so that we both lose, and he can reap the benefits."

"If we fall into the trap set by His Majesty, the Zhang family will not be able to escape unscathed, and may even lose our huge family business."

"I need someone to break the impasse now, but after much thought, I have not yet chosen anyone I can trust from the Zhang family, except for Master Xiao Zhang..."

Zhang Wei nodded.

"The Patriarch wants me to be the one who breaks the impasse?"

Zhang Shengcheng nodded, then took out a token from the side.

"This is an order from the head of the Zhang family. I have already entered the court and am one of the Nine Ministers. I am highly valued by His Majesty. If I manage the affairs of the Zhang family, I am afraid it will cause gossip!"

"I need to choose someone I trust from the Zhang family and have him temporarily take over the position of the head of the Zhang family." "You are someone my father trusts very much. I want you to temporarily take over the position of the head of the Zhang family!"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Shengcheng deeply.

Was this planned in advance?

Looking at the token placed in front of him.

Zhang Wei's eyes flickered.

"Does anyone else agree?" Zhang Wei asked.

When Zhang Shengcheng heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Then he smiled and said to Zhang Wei: "You know the Zhang family motto."

"When the head of the family is incompetent, a capable person from the clan can be chosen to take his place."

"I believe that I don't have the ability to support the Zhang family. Since I have been calculated by His Majesty, I can only be a chess piece."

"Only in this way can the Zhang family be spared from the suffering of war and stay away from court disputes."

When Zhang Shengcheng said this, his expression was somewhat complicated.

Originally, he wanted to refuse Liu Ao's offer to recruit him.

But he could see it too.

The current situation in Dahan is not particularly stable.

Especially inside and outside the court.

There are now external relatives interfering in government affairs both inside and outside the court.

These people are very powerful.

And they are developing very rapidly.

It even has connections with counties.

If they are allowed to continue to grow, local land annexation will only become more serious.

The accumulation of public grievances will only cause great suffering to the people and provoke others to rebel.

He had already anticipated what would happen to the big man in the future.

He is just making early plans now.

But he needs help from others now.

Zhang Wei is one of the perfect candidates.

Since Liu Ao allowed him to enter the court, he would muddy the waters.

He had to keep the Zhang family safe.

Zhang Wei naturally understood what Zhang Shengcheng meant.

And seeing how Zhang Shengcheng endured humiliation, Zhang Wei frowned.

"With the current strength of the Zhang family, they can be safe and sound even without having to care about the royal family's opinion. Aren't you being a little too cautious?" When Zhang Wei said this, he was indeed a little curious.

The Zhang family has recovered its vitality under his leadership.

And now it has grown stronger.

Their strength is no less than that of the Liu family.

Under this situation.

What is he afraid of?
Zhang Shengcheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

He looked at Zhang Wei, his words a little conflicted.

But he still said honestly: "It is indeed as you said."

"But I am only mediocre and don't have the ability to revive the world?"

"The Zhang family is indeed developing very well now. Whether it is in the north or south or in the western region, the Zhang family has been taking root there and has formed a huge alliance."

"The Western Region is currently controlled by the Zhang family, so they can rest assured."

"It is because the Zhang family is too powerful that I have abandoned myself from this position."

"Only if I come out and re-enter the game can the Zhang family be free from setbacks and remain safe."

Zhang Shengcheng has a clear understanding of his own positioning.

He also knew that he was incapable.

If the Zhang family was in his hands.

He may not necessarily be able to make the Zhang family develop better.

in contrast.

If he entered the court, he would be able to attract most people's attention.

It can even make His Majesty think that the Zhang family is completely tied to the court.

Only let Your Majesty have this understanding.

Only then could the Zhang family avoid the subsequent disaster.

He could already foresee some of the situations that would happen to the big man.

It's no wonder that Liu Ao was so stupid.

But he was not a wise ruler either.

Especially as he got older, Liu Ao did more and more absurd things.

Even without any scruples.

I didn't even think about anything else when I was doing it.

I just do things based on my own preferences.

He was also extremely licentious and fond of male beauty.

He's out of time.

Only by entering the game alone and attracting everyone's attention can the Zhang family be kept safe.

Zhang Wei understood what the other party meant.

He looked at Zhang Shengcheng, then took a step back and bowed deeply to Zhang Shengcheng.

"The righteousness of the family head!"

"I will definitely live up to your trust and protect the Zhang family. I will not let them get involved in court disputes, and I will not let them get affected by the war."

"With Master Xiao Zhang's words, I feel relieved."

Zhang Shengcheng nodded with satisfaction.

Then he put the token of the head of the Zhang family into Zhang Wei's hands.

After Zhang Wei received the token, Zhang Shengcheng had someone escort Zhang Wei out of the Zhang family mansion.

After Zhang Wei left the Zhang family mansion.

Zhang Shengcheng sat on the seat, playing with a jade pendant in his hand.

Then he said to a guest beside him: "Did you hear the conversation I just had with Master Xiao Zhang?"

The other person came out from the back compartment.

Then nodded.

"Master Xiao Zhang is truly a rare talent among men."

"But Master Xiao Zhang is not a direct descendant of the Zhang family. Can the head of the family rest assured that he will hand over such an important token to Zhang Wei?"

"If not this, is there any other way?" Zhang Shengcheng sighed.

Why didn't he know?
But does he have any other choice?
He has been forced to this point.

If he didn't risk everything, he would have no room to maneuver.

Your Majesty has pushed him too far.

What’s more, the Wang family was fed too much.

He had no intention of getting involved in the court disputes.

He has now handed over the power of the Zhang family.

As long as Zhang Wei can follow his plan, the Zhang family will be fine.

Not only that, the Zhang family can also completely extricate themselves from these things.

And there won’t be any accidents.

The guest next to him frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Shengcheng being so careless.

He always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

The head of the family is a little too decisive in doing things.

Such an important matter was not discussed with other members of the Zhang family.

This time he made a private decision and handed over the position of the head of the Zhang family.

It would be fine if Zhang Wei could keep calm.

What should they do if Zhang Wei can't help himself and wants to seize the position of head of the family?
The Zhang family is now at its peak.

Their power is comparable to that of the royal family.

Most people simply cannot resist such a great temptation.

Zhang Shengcheng handed the order of the head of the family to Zhang Wei.

If Zhang Wei makes a mistake, the entire Zhang family will be dragged down.

"That's what my father meant."

Zhang Shengcheng saw the worry in the retainer's eyes.

He put the jade pendant in his hand aside and said lightly.

When Zhang Xiangyi was mentioned, the guests nearby immediately shut up.

He entered the Zhang family mansion before Zhang Xiangyi's death.

I also know this person's strength.

This person has outstanding abilities.

His wisdom and strategy are unparalleled, and his ability to develop the Zhang family to such a scale is enough to show his strength.

He was sincerely convinced of the previous head of the family.

If this matter was decided by the previous head of the family, he naturally would not dare to interfere.

"Then what does your Excellency want to do next?" After understanding the situation, the retainer looked at Zhang Shengcheng and asked.

Since this matter has been confirmed.

How should they respond?

How to deal with people in the court?

Especially those from the Wang family.

With the support of Your Majesty, the Wang family has developed rapidly and condoned the annexation of land in counties and prefectures.

He was extremely powerful and had countless followers. (End of this chapter)
