Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 649 Zhang Family Brothers
In the Ming Dynasty in history, aristocratic families were no longer able to control the wind and rain in the court like they were in the past, but it didn't mean that there were no aristocratic families.

Although these big families can't do whatever they want, within the family, they are still hierarchical. Each family has its own patriarch, who can also decide the fate of the family members.

Before Zhang Weixian died, he had appointed his cousin Zhang Weikang as the successor of the patriarch.

In fact, Zhang Weixian's eldest son, Zhang Xulian, is over 40 years old, and he is fully qualified for the position of patriarch. I have never seen Zhang Weixian dislike this eldest son, but for some reason, not only did he not designate him as the heir of the family, but the title of Duke of the Kingdom seems to be similar to his It's okay.

In this way, outsiders can't help but think about it, only Zhang Xulian seems not to care about this matter, busy all day with his father's funeral.

The family meeting was initiated by the second eldest, Zhang Xugang. Zhang Weixian's body was still fresh, and the new patriarch didn't want to do such a thing that would poke people's backs.

What about the misconduct of the sixth lady, the theft of property from the mansion, the unknown origin of Zhang Xumin, and so on.

The sixth lady, who had lost her support, was completely powerless to refute such a pot of shit. It can also be said that the Zhang family did not give her a chance to refute, so they drove their mother and son out.

What the Zhang family didn't expect was that when Mrs. Six, mother and son were kicked out of the mansion, Ye Xun's carriage arrived, not far from the back door of the British residence, picked up Mrs. Six, mother and son and walked away.

This kind of thing can't be hidden from people at all. There are still a lot of funerals going on in front of the house. There are people coming and going inside and outside the house. There are too many people who saw this.

According to the intention of the Zhang family brothers, they asked his subordinates to drive Mrs. Liu and her son away. If Ye Xun's frame hadn't arrived, the consequences would have been even more serious. With Ye Xun intervening, the situation would have changed completely. .

After receiving the news, the Zhang family brothers suddenly fell into panic, because Ye Xun's signal was too obvious.

The hustle and bustle in the front yard was still there, and in a secret room in the backyard, the three brothers of the Zhang family got together urgently to discuss countermeasures.

"You don't need to ask, the old man must have saved something. He is determined to push that evil son to the top."

It was Zhang Xuyang, the third son who was talking, who usually did bad things relying on his father's favor. When one day he suddenly found out that the person his father liked the most was not him, he reacted the most strongly.

The second brother, Zhang Xu, just gave his brother a sideways glance, and said in a deep voice, "Leave that aside, don't you think the appearance of Ye is too timely?"

Hearing what the second brother said, Zhang Xuyang jumped up again, and said angrily: "The eunuch dares to plant spies in our house? He is too courageous!"

The eldest Zhang Xulian, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly and said: "Is there anything he dare not do? We must be more careful in what we say in the future. Father is gone, and the eunuchs may not treat our Zhang family like they used to. up"

Zhang Xulian's words can be said to be on point, Zhang Xuyang naturally knows what he has done in normal times, thinking about it, he will be more honest in the future without his father's protection.

"Brother, what do you think the eunuch's move is? He can't let him get the duke's title. How about we mobilize the courtiers and ask the Queen Mother to make an order as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams?"

From the tone of the voice, the second child supported the eldest brother, but Zhang Xulian knew in his heart that regardless of the third child's screaming Huan, the one who most wanted to inherit the dukedom was himself, his good second brother.

At this time, Zhang Xuyang coughed dryly and said: "Brothers, it's easy to ask the Queen Mother to give the order, but who should I give the order to? Now that there are no outsiders, our brother closes the door, we must clarify this matter first!"

Zhang Xulian looked at the third younger brother who had no strings in his head, and said calmly, "According to the third younger brother's wishes?"

"Hey! I don't care about this, this, no matter who inherits the title, we can't be cheap, outsiders, right?"

Zhang Xulian turned his eyes to his second brother again, although he didn't speak, the meaning was already obvious.

Zhang Weigang looked a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and then said: "The third brother is right, you can't make it easier for outsiders, the elders and children are orderly, and the title should be inherited by the eldest brother."

Hearing what the second brother said, Zhang Xuyang snorted coldly and said: "Although the seniority is orderly, you have to consider what the old man thinks! If the old man really wants the elder brother to inherit the title, he will do it while he is alive, then there is today's trouble"

Zhang Xuyang's words can be said to have hit the sore spot in Zhang Xulian's heart, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes, he forced a smile and said: "The third brother is right, this matter should be left to the court to decide! I think what we have to do now Yes, how to deal with eunuchs meddling in our family affairs?"

Zhang Xugang pondered for a while and said: "In terms of power, we are no match for the eunuchs anyway, and the queen mother obeys the eunuchs, but we are not without a chance of winning. We might as well build momentum. The general trend is going down, and the eunuchs dare not risk their reputation. Forcibly interfering in our family affairs"

A complex and incomprehensible smile flashed across the corner of Zhang Xulian's mouth, he nodded and said, "Just do as the second brother said, we will mobilize our colleagues, and we must let everyone in the capital know about this matter."

The three brothers talked and talked, but in the end they didn't say who should inherit the father's title. It's not that they didn't want to say it, but they were afraid that it would irritate the other two.

There are still a lot of things going on in the front yard, and the brothers can't stay here for too long. After deciding on a strategy to mobilize public opinion, they discussed how to find the traitor, and then they left separately.

After leaving the room, the three brothers who had just returned to their brothers and sisters, the look in their eyes seemed to have changed, and there was a hint of murderous intent in the frost, but they didn't know who this murderous intent was directed at.
Brothers are of the same heart, and their strength can break gold. Zhang Laogong was a wise man, but he couldn't twist the hearts of the three sons together. It must be said that he failed in life.

What the three brothers didn't expect was that Ye Xun's movements were much faster than theirs.

In today's Ming Dynasty, when it comes to public opinion building, is there anyone who is more proficient than Ye Xun?
It's useless to wait for the next day. At noon, the big restaurants in the capital began to spread the news that the Zhang brothers kicked the old Duke's sixth wife, mother and son out of the house when the old Duke's bones were still cold in order to fight for the family property.

Rumors are the thing that is most afraid of spreading, because in the end, even if it is a good thing, it may become completely unrecognizable, not to mention that it is the most embarrassing thing.

Before the brothers of the Zhang family knew about it, the Zhang family headed by the patriarch of the Zhang family and the brothers of the Zhang family had already been pushed to the forefront.

After Ye Xun picked up Mrs. Six's mother and son, and settled Xiaoluo well, he went to meet Jack and his party.

For Ye Xun, there is no need to do anything now, just sit quietly and watch the show. He believes that someone in the Zhang family will soon be unable to stand up, and it will not be difficult to find the person who tripped him up.
