"but."

"Sometimes, or something, 'affordable' is not necessarily the best."

After organizing his words, Zhang Yan looked up and pointed to the northeast.

In this era when the national consciousness has not yet awakened, or just awakened, Zhang Yan is very clear that he and Cao Cao's talk about some spectacle is useless for national self-confidence, great country demeanor and other incentives.So he decided to give an easy-to-understand example——

"Brother Mengde, look at the north, what's there?"

What is there in the north of Luoyang?Yanzhou?grassland?

Or is it Dahan North?

Cao Cao answered the word "Xiongnu" without thinking.

"That's right, there are Huns in the north."

"In addition to the Huns, there are Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang."

"In order to resist the invasion of these ethnic groups, the Qin and Han dynasties worked together to build the Great Wall. It can be said that the role of the Great Wall is to help the Chinese nation resist foreign invasion."

His thoughts gradually became clear, Zhang Yan suddenly turned around and asked Cao Cao: "Then Brother Meng De, let me ask you, if one day no nomads from the north invade China, will the Great Wall be useless?"

"Of course..." Cao Cao only said two words of course, but then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly fell silent.

"Okay. Next question, if the Great Wall is useless, can I dismantle the Great Wall?"

Seeing that Cao Cao stopped talking and thought about it, Zhang Yan knew that he had already thought of the result of the demolition of the Great Wall.And he was not in a hurry, he just continued to say unhurriedly from the side:

"It seems that Brother Meng De has already realized something."

"You and I live for only a hundred years. After a hundred years, what can prove our existence and dedication? Just rely on a few thin volumes of history books?"

"Now through the Great Wall, we can feel China's efforts to resist the invasion for more than [-] years. When people in the future, when they climb the Great Wall, they will see not only Qin, but also us, and even the people behind us. Those who have followed suit."

This is the charm of spectacle.

Zhang Yan silently added a sentence in his heart.

Plaguing the horse and leaving, Zhang Yan left Cao Cao alone to think about it in the sunset, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and looked back at the gradually bustling construction site behind him.

He suddenly felt that this miracle mission might be successful.

……

night.

Outside a certain courtyard in Luoyang, a carriage was parked.

In the main house, Zhang Yan was kneeling and sitting at the bottom of the head, and a cute girl was kneeling beside him without saying a word.On the main seat, sat an old man in his fifties with a tired face.

It was Zhang Rang who came from the palace overnight after hearing about this.

"The Yellow Gate in the palace is discussing today, you led people to build a mountain of earth in the city?"

It is not an easy task to build a large building under the feet of the emperor, not to mention that the spectacle Zhang Yan wants to build this time is not something that can be fooled by common buildings such as "restaurants" and "pavilions".

Although the sundial is not expressly stipulated as a symbolic tool of the royal family, in the past few hundred years, only the imperial palace or the top bureaucratic family would build and use it.Now the news that Zhang Yan is going to build a sundial for the people in the city has spread, Zhang Rang also took time to inquire about it after hearing about it.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan had already prepared for this.After expressing that he had no idea of ​​"going beyond the distance" at all, and was even willing to dedicate the sundial "in name" to Emperor Ling of Han as a gift for the emperor's birthday after completion, Zhang Rang let himself toss.

"Since you know what's in your mind, then I won't bother with this matter anymore." Zhang Rang thought for a while, and then instructed: "It's just a gift to His Majesty, so pay attention to the specifications, and don't be as twitchy as before. It's embarrassing and hurts the face of the Tian Family."

"Yes, father."

Zhang Yan responded, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just told the girl next to him to remind him tomorrow, and remember to inform the construction team to make more decorations on the sundial when building the wonder.

After all, the Han Ling Emperor will die soon, and it's hard to say whether he will die first or the sundial will be built first. Zhang Yan is just making excuses at the moment.

"...You can handle it yourself."

Zhang Rang nodded, but looking at Zhang Yan's absent-minded Xiangzi, he knew that the other party didn't listen to his words.But he thought about it, and didn't intend to say anything more, but told Xiao Huangmen who was following him to remember to send more money to the construction site in the north of the city tomorrow, so that the group of workers could repair the sundial as big and gorgeous as possible.

As a veteran who has followed Hanling Emperor Liu Hong for more than 30 years, Zhang Rang still understands the emperor's hobbies quite clearly.What he didn't know was that it was his own words that would have an unexpected and huge impact on Zhang Yan in the future.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Yan'er, you are not too young, but do you have any plans for your future?"

Zhang Rang stopped asking about the sundial, took a sip of tea, and changed the subject:

"Teaching from the Saints: Standing at thirty, you will be twenty-six this year, and you have already reached the age when you should start a family and start a business."

"Look at the eldest sons of the Yuan family and the Cao family, they have been married for a long time, and the children are about to perform the crowning ceremony. Yan'er, you were displaced before, but now you have a father to support you, but you still don't see any young lady with you. close."

"But how can my Zhang family be inferior to those dudes?"

With a drop of cold sweat streaming down Zhang Yan's face, he knew that it was impossible for Zhang Rang to come out of the palace at night just for the trivial matter of the sundial!

……

"Hey……"

Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't say a word, Zhang Rang couldn't help but sighed and touched his forehead.

It has been more than three months since his adopted son was adopted.

Perhaps at the beginning, Zhang Rang was just on a whim, and didn't take it too seriously.But Zhang Yan went to the palace every now and then to greet him and drink tea with him.Occasionally toss out some novel gadgets, and never forget to send myself a copy.

People's hearts are made of flesh, they come and go.The strangeness and alienation between the two gradually disappeared, and Zhang Rang also felt the joy of being a parent from the bottom of his heart after a long absence.

Since Liu Hong ascended the throne, Zhang Rang hadn't felt this way for a long time.The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven. Although Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, still calls him "Rang Father", Zhang Rang will never be so stupid as to really put on airs as a father in front of Liu Hong.

Chapter 10 is Zhen Ji, it's okay

Perhaps human nature is so greedy, and people generally don't have too strong desires before they get it.But once you get something, you can't help wanting more.

For example, now, Zhang Rang, who feels the joy of being a father, can't wait to experience what it's like for three generations to live together and enjoy the family relationship.

Zhang Rang couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he thought that as an eunuch, not only would he have the power to go to the government and the public, but even this last regret would be made up in the near future.

"Hey, you child, everything is fine, but it is this point that makes Wei father very worried."

Zhang Rang couldn't help thinking of some rumors in Luoyang City...

"Master Yu Zhang Yan has been in power for more than a hundred days."

"There is neither a wife nor a concubine's room."

"Be courteous and courteous to the maids at home and never go beyond that."

"I didn't go to the brothel once, instead I hang out with a group of big men all day long."

With a sudden tremor, he immediately made up his mind.

Although Long Yang's kindness is not shameful, if Zhang Yan really has a development trend in this regard, then his plan to have a grandson will be in vain.

In any case, this time, try to get Zhang Yan to settle the marriage first, even if he takes a concubine first.

Thinking back to the families in Luoyang who had women waiting to be married, Zhang Rang thought secretly.

"The daughter of Zhao Zhonglang's family is too aggressive."

"General Qian's daughter is sixteen this year, a bit older."

"Sun Taishou...Sun Taishou seems to have no daughter."

"Wang Situ does have a granddaughter, but his granddaughter is too ugly to be worthy of my rich and handsome eldest son."

Unlike most of the celebrities from aristocratic families in this era, Zhang Rang, in addition to being well-matched, also took into account Zhang Yan's feelings as a man.

He has followed Hanling Emperor Liu Hong for so many years, although he has no chance to practice, but he is very clear about what kind of woman can please a man.

It may be glamorous, it may be delicate.

It may be knowledgeable and sensible, or it may be elegant and intelligent.

Different women have their own shining points, but in most cases, Zhang Rang feels that it is unlikely that his son will fall in love with a weird person with a savage personality, or an ugly monster that is hard to see.

In Zhang Rang's eyes, appearance and personality are even more important than birth.After all, no matter how noble your birth is, can you still be as noble as my son?

Wife, I can live without it.But my son must have, and must be the best.jpg

After thinking about it, options flashed through Zhang Rang's mind.Suddenly, a suitable candidate appeared in his mind.

You have to be pretty, have a good personality, and better be able to give Zhang Rang a certain amount of help...

"Although the relationship with that person's family is not very good... But if you don't want it, it's not a big problem. After all, it's not the first time..."

Turning to look at Zhang Yan, seeing that he still kept his head down and said nothing, Zhang Rang suddenly said:

"Yan'er, why don't you speak? If that's the case, why don't you make a marriage promise for your father?"

"Father ran into an old friend in Jiangnan a few days ago, and took him back to Luoyang City. The man has two daughters under his knees, both of whom know etiquette and fine rhythm. The second daughter is not yet married, and her appearance is also dignified and beautiful. , It is famous far and wide in the south of the Yangtze River."

"As a father, I invited that old friend and his daughter to come here, how about making this marriage with you?"

Before the words fell, Zhang Yan raised his head with a strange expression on his face.

"Uh... ah?"

Zhang Yan really didn't expect Zhang Rang to come out like this.

……

It was late at night, and the carriage outside the door had already left, but Zhang Yan hadn't rested yet, sitting in the hall and looking at the moonlight outside the door, his face full of confusion.

"Ye'er, what do you think I should do about this?"

Pulling the blanket draped over his body by the maid behind him, Zhang Yan sighed deeply, and then asked.

This is not the first time Zhang Rang has urged marriage.He also vaguely hinted at Zhang Yan several times before, but every time Zhang Yan used various reasons to shirk him.

But this time, Zhang Yan didn't expect Zhang Rang to become so strong, and wanted to directly decide the marriage for himself.Even the marriage partner has been chosen, and it turns out to be the second daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong, Cai Zhenji who was originally married to Taishan Yang's family!

What a joke!

He was still a little dazed when he heard "there are two daughters" and "the second daughter is unmarried".After all, in this day and age, when you talk about sisters, nine out of ten people think of Jiang Dongqiao's two daughters immediately.

Zhang Yanben was still a little concerned, why did Zhang Rang know his little thoughts.But following the word "Zhen Ji", he felt relieved.

Oh, Chae Jung Hee, it's all right.

I'd better play with my wonder system slowly to see if there is a chance to build the Tongque Terrace.

Although Cai Zhenji, who came from a famous family, should be the top group of women in this era, regardless of her appearance or personality, he still wanted to try to push Xiao Qiao alone.Sometimes, obsession will bring people many different things.After insisting on one thing for more than [-] years, Zhang Yan no longer wants to change it.

For this reason, Zhang Yan finally struggled for a long time, but still tried his best to reject Zhang Rang's idea.But why did Zhang Rang give up so easily?After a series of questioning, Zhang Yan finally had no choice but to confess to Zhang Rang the fact that he already had a relationship.
