Chapter 178

Chen Tong was sent by Chen Xilie to act as a "middleman" between the Chen family and Zhang Xuan. At the same time, Chen Tong also intended to let Chen Tong follow Zhang Xuan, seek meritorious service in the army, and plan for a family background in the future.

This Chen Tong is different from Chen He. He doesn't like poetry and prose, but likes shooting and hunting martial arts. He has long set his ambition to join the army and serve the country.It's just that Chen Xilie has been unwilling to let him join the army, and this time he happened to be sent to Zhang Xuan's tent to obey orders.

This can be regarded as an additional small condition for the two to secretly form an alliance with Chen Xilie.Zhang Xuan did not refuse, and at the right time, he did not hesitate to give Chen Tong a suitable meritorious service, allowing this son to obtain a military background.

After Chen Tong left, the Liu family rushed to the General's Mansion.Although Liu Shi felt surprised, since her son said that the wedding would be held in advance, as a mother, she couldn't refuse.

Mrs. Liu personally went to Cui's house to explain her intentions. Although Cui Ju and his wife were surprised, they still agreed to advance the wedding.

Therefore, Zhang Cui's family has been preparing for the wedding of Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying since last night.

Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Nazheng, Asking for Dates, and Greeting in Person are the six ceremonies.In Zhang Xuan's view, the weddings of the Tang Dynasty were far more complicated and complicated than those of later generations.

There are still only a few days before the third day of February proposed by Zhang Xuan.It is not easy for the Zhang family to complete many wedding procedures in just a few days.However, with the financial and human resources of the Zhang family today, there is actually no problem.

After talking about the wedding with his mother, Liu Shi, Zhang Xuan felt dizzy.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu just came to ask for his opinion, and she had her own opinion on what to do. Seeing her son like this, she laughed and cursed a few words and left first.

……

……

As soon as the court meeting ended, a small news spread in the city of Chang'an: the imperial court agreed to Tubo's request for marriage marriage, and planned to let Princess Wanchun marry Tubo prince Chisong Dezan.

Marriage is nothing new.But Datang hadn't made peace with the Tubo people for many years, so this news soon became a hot news among Chang'an common people and merchants.

The happiest ones are merchants, especially those Tang and Tibetan merchants who operate between Tubo and Tang Dynasty.The peace between the two countries means a peaceful truce that lasts for several years. Taking advantage of this opportunity, merchants from the two countries can trade freely and make a lot of money.

But immediately, another bigger news came out from the palace again, shaking the entire Chang'an City.

The imperial court canonized Zhang Xuan as the special envoy of the Tang and Tibetan kinship, the deputy governor of the governor's mansion for controlling the world's soldiers and horses, the Duke of Fuguo Zhongyong Lingwu County, the governor of the Longshuo governor's mansion, and the third division of Kaifu Yitong.

The positions of Generals of Gyeonggi Habayashi and Jinwuwei were taken over by Chen Xuanli, General Longwu of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Capital.

As soon as this news came out, both the dignitaries and the common people in Chang'an City discussed it.Zhang Xuan had unrivaled power in the capital, so what does it mean when he is suddenly promoted to a noble and sent out to the feudal town?
In terms of official position, Zhang Xuan's military power is close to the peak of his courtiers.It is equivalent to the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and then has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Longshuo, forming a town of its own.You know, in Gyeonggi, Zhang Xuan only had the command power of more than 1 soldiers and horses. Suddenly, his military power expanded to tens of thousands of people and he became a prince in charge of local military and political affairs, which aroused the envy of countless bureaucrats and dignitaries.

Of course, the deputy governor of the governor's office that controls the world's soldiers and horses is only a false position, but at certain moments, this false position will also play an important role.This is an important factor for Zhang Xuan's determination to win this official position.

The news of Zhang Xuan's release to the vassal towns was so shocking that the news that Yan Zhenqing was appointed as the governor of the Henan Metropolitan Government, and Feng Changqing was appointed as the deputy governor of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the military and horse transfer envoy, was invisibly heard. Many people are automatically filtered.

For a time, there was an endless stream of congratulators from Zhang Xuan's General's Mansion.

Even the Cui family sent Cui Huan to congratulate them.

But in the palace, the news that Wan Chun was married by the court caused an uproar, and the protagonist was the lively and outgoing Princess Wan Chun.

Hearing that the imperial court promised to marry him to the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan, Wan Chun almost fainted on the spot.Her eyes are high above the top, and she has always held the idea that she will never marry if she can't find a good husband she likes. Suddenly she is going to marry a Tubo prince from a barbaric land. One can imagine the panic, fear and anger in her heart .

Wan Chun came back to his senses, and ran to Yang Yuhuan's bedroom with a group of court ladies and eunuchs. When he couldn't find Yang Yuhuan, he found several other concubines of the old emperor, trying to get these concubines to plead for mercy. But no one wants to come forward.

Wan Chun was furious, so he went to the East Palace again, and accused Prince Li Heng of disregarding the brother-sister relationship and treating himself as a sacrifice, and quarreled in the East Palace for a long time, causing the East Palace to make a fuss.

In desperation, Li Heng had no choice but to walk away.

Wan Chun failed to achieve his goal in the East Palace, and went directly to the Imperial Study Room of Xingqing Palace, knelt under Li Longji's bed and cried for a long time.Li Fuguo didn't dare to stop him, so he had to watch Wan Chun make a fuss.

The confidant maid Xiaocui next to Wanchun saw her master crying so sad and hopeless, she sympathized with her, so she shed tears and whispered in Wanchun's ear, "Your Highness, I heard that all the ministers in the court are in favor of Tang and Tubo. Marriage, only General Zhang objected to the marriage... Your Highness, why don't you go to the General and let the General enter the palace to talk to His Highness the Crown Prince."

It can be said that one word awakens the dreamer.

Wan Chun immediately thought of Zhang Xuan, shed tears, got up and hurriedly said, "Xiao Cui, let's go, let's go out of the palace to Zhang Xuan's mansion."

Wan Chun led dozens of court ladies and eunuchs out of the palace in a grand manner, and went straight to Zhang Xuan's General's Mansion.

But outside the gate of the General's Mansion, Wan Chun suddenly rolled his eyes, poked his head out of the car window and said softly, "Stop! Xiaocui, come here with your ear, I have something to say!"

……

……

Choi House.

Cui Jin, the eldest son of Cui Jushu, wandered outside the bedroom of Cui Ju and his wife, hesitating, still unable to make up his mind to enter the door.

It was Cui Ju who saw him from the window, and saw that he lingered for a long time without entering the door, so he called out in a deep voice, "Come in, come in!"

Cui Ju sat cross-legged on the bed, and Mrs. Zheng was beside him.The two looked at Cui Jin with a smile.

Cui Jin made up his mind and worshiped, and said softly, "My son pays homage to Father and Madam!"

Cui Ju smiled, waved his hands and said, "Jin'er, the old man saw you wandering outside the door for a long time, but is there something wrong?"

Cui Jingong said, "Yes, my lord. My son has something to ask for my lord's permission."

Cui Ju was startled, and glanced at Cui Jin with a smile, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't need to hide it!"

Cui Jin looked up at Cui Ju, hesitating for a while before saying softly, "Father, my son is not very talented and capable, and this official career is not too far away. Now my brother-in-law has been released as the governor of Longshuo, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses." , Acting for a town's government affairs, my son wants to go west from my brother-in-law to Longshuo, and serve as a small official in the brother-in-law's army, but in the future, if he makes progress, he will also add honor to the face of the Cui family and his ancestors."

Cui Jin plucked up his courage, finished what was in his heart in one breath, and waited anxiously for Cui Ju's response.

He is not as talented as Cui Huan, and he is a concubine in the Cui family. He will definitely not have much future in the future, and he will not be able to inherit the family business of the Cui family.He was moved when he heard the news of Zhang Xuan's release from the feudal town.

For the princes of one side, it is just a matter of lifting a finger to arrange an official and military post.If he can make contributions with Zhang Xuan, it is not impossible for him to form a family of his own in the future.

Hearing this, Cui Ju stared deeply at himself, the eldest son of a concubine, and his thoughts flashed, and he instantly understood Cui Jin's plan.

It's just that Cui Jin's thoughts are understandable, and he also has the right to pursue his own personal future in order to secure his wife and son.

Cui Ju pondered for a long time before he sighed softly, "Jin'er, I am very relieved that you can make such progress. It's just that you need to get your brother-in-law's consent for this matter. How about it, you go talk to Yinger first. One said, let Yinger discuss it with Zhang Xuan after Yinger passes through the door!"

Seeing that his father did not oppose and stop him, Cui Jin couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly knelt down on the ground to thank him.

After leaving his father's bedroom, Cui Jin went straight to Cui Ying without stopping.

Cui Ying still respects this elder brother, even though he is not from the direct line.

Cui Ying is such a smart and intelligent person, after hearing Cui Jin's request, she immediately understood Cui Jin's intentions.

She smiled and hesitated for a while before agreeing, "Brother, this is not a big deal, wait for Ying Er to talk to Lang Jun, no matter what, I will find a job for my brother."

Cui Jin left happily.Looking at the back of Cui Jin leaving, Cui Ying couldn't help but sigh.

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Cui Ying actually sympathized with Cui Jin's situation.He is obviously the eldest son, but because he is not from the wife of the wife, Cui Jin's status in the Cui family is not high.

If it weren't for Cui Ying and Cui Huan, the two second-generation children of the Cui family who were descendants of the Cui family, who were modest in temperament, attached great importance to family ties, and respected Cui Jin, I am afraid that Cui Jin's situation in the mansion would be even worse.

Cui Ying hesitated for a moment, leaned over the desk and wrote a letter hastily, in which she briefly explained Cui Jin's situation, and then begged Zhang Xuan to give Cui Jin a chance to improve.

After writing the letter, Cui Ying called a maid and said softly, "Yingzi, go to the General's mansion quickly, and hand over the letter from the servant's family to the gentleman face to face, don't delay."

The maid agreed and was about to go out to deliver the letter when she heard Mrs. Zheng's voice from outside the door: "Ying'er, I think it's better to take this matter for a while!"

While speaking, Mrs. Zheng walked in.

Cui Ying knew that her mother had a certain grudge against her elder brother Cui Jincun, because the concubine gave birth before her, so many years ago, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Cui Ying greeted her with a smile, "Mother, elder brother has always been Yinger's elder brother, since elder brother found Yinger, Yinger..."

Mrs. Zheng frowned, and said softly, "Ying'er, it's not that my mother objects to your pleading for Cui Jin, but you want to interfere with your husband's military affairs before you pass the door. My mother is afraid that Zhang Xuan will have bad feelings for you." Dissatisfied with..."

Cui Ying was startled, and then smiled again, "Mother, no, Mr. Lang loves Ying Er very much, Mr. Lang will not take such small things to heart."
