For the Zhang family of Wu County, just dealing with Zhang Zhao in the same clan is already extremely worrying.
Relying on the power of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao could not help but prosper in these years, and he also managed to make his family look decent.
Although Zhang Zhao, who is nearly sixty years old, was badly beaten in the previous Battle of Hefei and was dismissed from his official position by Sun Quan, the chess pieces he has laid out in the court can even support him in his idle state.
Controlling a part of the government, such a mind, and such a city, it can only be said that...as long as Zhang Zhao does not touch the marching and fighting, he will still be the elder Zhang Ge who is respected by the Soochow court.
There is such a behemoth in the family. On the other hand, the breakup between Chen Fuan and the Zhang family in recent years has caused some financial difficulties for the Zhang family.
In the Battle of Hefei, the Zhang family invested the most resources among the four major families. They paid for the soldiers, they commissioned people to build the armor, and they even paid for the military pay and food.
Why are you so desperate? Isn’t the reason right in front of you?
Zhang Zhao...it's hard for you to tell whether he was stupid or intentional in that battle at Hefei.
In short, after that, the Zhang clan could not suppress Zhang Zhao, and those outside the clan were in trouble because of Chen Fu'an.
At this point... Sun Quan was stupid and attacked Jiangling on his own, which led to his turning against Liu Bei and causing Jiangxia to be counterattacked. This was definitely an opportunity that Zhang could not miss.
The Zhang family wanted to use this opportunity to counterattack Sun Quan, regain power in the court, and relieve the pressure on the clan (by sending away the great god Zhang Zhao), but unexpectedly discovered that Sun Quan actually planned to use marriage to re-consolidate his military and political power.
The good news is of course that Sun Shangxiang ran away.
The Zhang family, who realized later, would not have been kept in the dark by Sun Quan's general.
The bad news... is that not only Sun Quan couldn't find Sun Shangxiang, but they couldn't find Sun Shangxiang either.
This...is the current dilemma of the Zhang family.
——
It seems that this game is actually quite difficult. If you want to cover all three aspects, it is no longer something that can be controlled by humans alone.
Most of the time we have to leave it to fate.
But God happened to play a joke on Mrs. Zhang at this time.
Chen Fuan, the once loyal dog that gave Zhang a headache for nearly ten years, was now a hungry wolf with white eyes, and was brought down without any warning.
It was a complete overthrow - Zhang Yun thought he was dreaming when he heard that Chen Fuan was crazy and that Chen Fuan's allies were scattered.
But now the facts told him that not only was this not a dream, the man who brought down Chen Fuan was directly invited to Wu County by Zhang Zhao without their knowledge.
Such a change was quite difficult for the Zhang family to accept.
——
"I know what you are worried about."
Zhang Zhao spoke.
As the old god was still alive, he took a sip of warm tea and was not at all flustered by the questioning.
Or to put it this way, in fact... he was actually lecturing Zhang Yun and others. Judging from the humble attitude of Zhang Yun and others, as long as Zhang Zhao shut up, none of them would dare to use force.
Zhang Zhao's willingness to explain is already a pretty good result.
"Also...please ask Mr. Pavilion to make it clear!"
Zhang Yun looked at his son beside him - Zhang Wen was obviously more confused than his father. Compared with Zhang Zhao's sons, Zhang Wen was really far behind... How many brothers are Zhang Wen now?
Among them, the shorter one is taller, and he is Zhang Yun's very good successor.
He lowered his head and asked Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao smiled and stroked his beard and continued:
"Aren't you just worried that this man has brought down Chen Fuan and is obviously more capable and more prestigious than Chen Fuan. Are you worried that he will succeed Chen Fuan and continue to fight against you?"
Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Zhang Yun felt a little complicated - Zhang Zhao really knew what they were worried about, but it just happened that he didn't discuss it with them and directly invited the exhibition hall first.
Tomorrow, Zhang Zhao will meet with the exhibition hall here, and he and the people around him seem to be out of the scope of the discussion. In fact, Zhang Yun wants to warn Zhang Zhao that Zhang Zhao has slightly exceeded the rules, but...
It's just that even if he is as strong as Zhang, he is still in a dormant state because he wants to ask for help from others.
They were helpless and could only open their eyes and watch Zhang Zhao fool around.
"It's true...it's true."
"Please ask Mr. Ge to clarify my doubts..."
Zhang Yun continued to pretend to be a grandson.
Zhang Zhaoze’s tone became more and more arrogant:
"Haha... You are all unfounded. Putting aside the character of this boy, aren't there people in your clan who have spies in Kuaiji? Whether he has connections with Chen Fu'an or not, you will know after asking in the past two days - if you
If you are worried, I will give you a warning - with the ability this boy has shown now, it won't take much effort for him to inherit Chen Fuan's business."
"That is to say, you'd better look forward to the outcome of tomorrow's negotiation between me and my son. If the cooperation is happy, then everyone will be happy. If the cooperation is not happy, I won't be able to tie up such a little devil in the world."
Zhang Zhao didn't mean to exaggerate the enemy.
In fact, based on the information he knew before - he analyzed all the details of the calligraphy exhibition one by one - he naturally came to the conclusion that if he could not have a close relationship with the exhibition hall, as long as he did not become an official and enter Soochow
In the prison of the court, this man could come and go freely, and no one could cure him.
Chen Fuan?
Zhang Yun and even Zhang Yun's uncles had been wary of this person for a long time, but they still allowed Chen Fu'an to finally become independent.
Just become independent.
After Chen Fu'an, the key one, was defeated, Zhang was unable to restrain him for ten years.
Even though other families are mostly just watching this matter, Zhang Zhao knows it very well in private - Gu Yong, Bu Zhao, Zhang Hong and other senior officials among them are all impressed by Chen Fu'an's resilience.
Quite admired.
At that time, Zhang Zhao joked:
"Maybe if Chen Fu'an drags his feet and drags Zhang Yun to death, the Zhang family in Wu County will be renamed the Chen family in Kuaiji."
Obviously, at that time - all signs pointed to such an ending.
As for this unexpected exhibition hall, it took less than ten days from the time it appeared to solve Zhang's ten-year problem.
With such ability, it is not too much for him to overestimate this person.
Zhang Zhao's words were very unpleasant to hear... Zhang Yun's eyelids trembled for a while, and he mumbled some broken words in his mouth. He was very dissatisfied——
Zhang Zhao's words were like a slap in their faces: "You are really a bunch of trash. A group of people are worse than a young businessman who has just arrived."
but…
"In that case...then we will wait for the good news from Mr. Pavilion."
No matter how reluctant he was, Zhang Yun could only accept his fate - now Zhang must find out the attitude of this exhibition hall, and the only person who can do this is Zhang Zhao in front of him.
