Eight hundred and twentieth eight chapters mutual suspicion
It has been a long time since the announcement of the re-editing of the "Chronicles of the Clan". Rearranging all the big and small wealthy families in Jingguo naturally cannot be completed overnight.
However, this re-editing is not to completely overthrow the original rankings, but to make changes based on the original ones. Several bachelors from the Ministry of Rites and Hongwen Hall were ordered to supervise the process. Within half a month, seven of the rankings have been completed.
Seven or eighty-eight.
A man hurriedly walked in from outside, put a booklet on the table, and said, "This is the first draft I brought out from the Ministry of Etiquette. Everyone should take a look at it as soon as possible and return it within today."
"I want to see how they want to arrange this "Clan Chronicle"!" The old man named Zhang snorted coldly and picked it up.
If the Zhang family in Pingyang follows the ranking announced this time, their rank in the family will be lowered by two levels. This is a great shame for the entire family. How can the name of Zhang family in Pingyang be used in the future?
convincing?
However, he picked up the book in his hand, flipped through it twice, shook his beard, and put it down again.
"I have some things to do today, so I'll leave first."
Seeing the old man surnamed Zhang put down his book and immediately turned around to leave, everyone was not surprised at all.
The Zhang family in Pingyang suffered heavy losses this time. I am afraid that after seeing the result, I will be extremely angry and don't want to stay here any longer.
"Let me see."
Wei Fang and Gou Xu, who were the closest, leaned over and flipped through the two pages with sullen expressions. After seeing their names, they looked at each other and were both startled.
The representative of the Wei family in Yunzhou closed the book, pursed his lips, and coughed lightly: "I suddenly thought that there are other things at home, so I'll take my leave first."
Representing the Gou family in Tongzhou, a man named Gou Xu chased after him, "Brother Wei, don't worry, I'll go with you."
Someone looked through the book in confusion and murmured: "What happened to these three people? They were really left behind. Aren't there so many people who suffered the same fate as them..."
Not long after the words left his mouth, they stopped abruptly.
The Zhang family in Pingyang, the Wei family in Yunzhou, the Gou family in Tongzhou...
The rankings of these three families were not as low as they thought. On the contrary, they were ranked before the families of most people present.
Not only that, but the rankings of several companies were beyond their expectations.
"What's going on? The Zhang family, the Wei family, the Gou family, they, they must have taken refuge..."
"Impossible, you didn't see what they looked like just now..."
"Then what's the explanation for this?"
No one can explain, and no one can figure out why these families, who are obviously the same as them, receive preferential treatment in this matter - why do they?
Although this ranking does not determine the rise and fall of the family, its impact on them cannot be ignored. If the new "Clan Chronicle" is accepted by the world, can their family still maintain the same respected status as before?
While many people were speculating in their minds, they also looked at some people around them with a little scrutiny.
On the surface, I am in the same boat as them, but I don’t know what I have done behind the scenes. If not, why would there be such an unfair result?
I don’t know how many people here, like the Zhang family, the Wei family, and the Gou family, do one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes, and do such dirty things?
Someone frowned and said, "Perhaps this was done intentionally by the imperial court?"
"This is done on purpose..." someone sneered, "Why did you choose them?"
Looking at the expressions of the people around me, I realized that they were completely different from when they entered.
As soon as the old man surnamed Zhang returned home, a man came out to greet him and asked eagerly: "Dad, how are you?"
The old man surnamed Zhang glanced at him and said, "What about it?"
The man said anxiously: "Clan Chronicle, our Zhang family..."
The old man surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said: "Go and make arrangements for the big banquet in the mansion tonight. Let them all come back. No one should be missing."
"Ah?" The man looked at him doubtfully, with a puzzled look on his face.
"By the way..." Thinking of something, the old man surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said: "I have donated all the land that the academy needs to use in Pingyang..."
"Donated?" The man was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Dad, didn't we discuss this with those people? We will never give in on this matter..."
"What do you know!" The old man surnamed Zhang glared at him and said, "I donated it just as I said, don't ask anything else, just go and do your business..."
The old man surnamed Zhang strode away, while the young man stood there blankly. After a long time, he turned around and left with deep thoughts.
At the same time, another mansion in Kyoto.
Wei Fang, who had just returned, told the housekeeper: "Quickly, send a letter to Yunzhou immediately, saying that my Wei family's ranking in the "Clan Chronicle" has risen to the third level, and asking them not to embarrass those who were planning to build the academy in Kyoto.
, and we need to help you a lot, and those who violate it will be punished according to the family law!"
The Wei family was not far away, and the person in charge of the Tongzhou Gou family in Kyoto was also giving instructions to his subordinates.
"Don't rest along the way. Rush to Tongzhou overnight and tell those wealthy businessmen to donate as much as they can. If anyone disgraces my Tongzhou Gou family, don't blame me for being rude!"
Several pieces of news with the same content spread from Kyoto in one day.
"The Zhang family, the Wei family... these people, what are they doing!" Cui Qingze, the head of the Cui family, looked gloomy, "This matter can only be accomplished if everyone works together. If someone relaxes, what others will do will be
If you are looked down upon by everyone in the world, wouldn't you be reviled by thousands of people in comparison?"
Next to him, Cui Qinghe, the second-in-command of the Cui family, shook his head and said: "This is no longer just a matter for the Zhang Jiawei family. The compilation of the clan history and His Majesty's attitude are completely unpredictable. At this time,
The final ranking has not yet been determined, the major families are suspicious of each other, and some people have even taken the initiative to show their favor to the court... This time, we were negligent."
…
"This is the simplest alienation tactic. I don't believe that none of them can see it. Can it be useful?" The eldest princess looked at Li Yi and asked with a frown.
"So what if you can see it, so what if you can't see it..." Li Yi took out a small bamboo basket from the kitchen, took out a washed apple and handed it to Yong Ning.
"Shouning, Xiaohuan, Dragon Boat Festival, come here to eat apples."
Xiaohuan was playing in the yard with the two little girls. Li Yi waved to them and gave each of them an apple.
The apples sent by the Wang family have thin skin and thick flesh, are sweet and delicious, and taste very good.
He took out the last apple from the box, "clicked" and took a bite. Then he saw the eldest princess's raised hand, handed it over, and said in surprise: "Do you want it too?"
"No!" Li Mingzhu glared at him, feeling slightly angry.
"You see, the principle is the same. Xiaohuan and the others can eat apples, but if you can't eat them, you won't be happy... It's not just apples that they can't eat."
Li Yi looked at her, split the apple into two, handed the unbitten half to her, and said: "So, the reason is not important, the process is not important, the result is important."
Li Mingzhu took a bite of the apple, thoughtfully.
Li Yi took the half apple in his hand and looked over it over and over again, but found no trace of the bite he had just taken. He raised his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I handed it to the wrong one just now. Can you..."
She found that the half apple in her hand already had a tooth mark, she waved her hand and said with some disgust: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want it anymore...".
