"Damn it, it gives them an advantage. I'm really annoyed." Zhang Lun couldn't help but cursed.
"My good mood is gone." Zhu Lin also cursed.
Zhang Lun said: "Isn't it? The Zhou family is really shameless. The old queen mother is regarded as a cash cow by the Zhou family. Didn't the imperial court say that in the future, the people's fields are not allowed to be acquired? How come the Zhou family is allowed to acquire land again?"
Zhu Lin said: "Does that need to be said? It's not just for the sake of the old queen mother. The emperor doesn't want to make the old queen unhappy."
Xu Yande sneered at the side and said: "Your Majesty is not doing it for the face of the old Queen Mother, but for the sake of the Queen's face. Didn't this matter arise from the dispute between the Marquis of Jianchang and the Zhou family? The Marquis of Jianchang
If you get ten thousand taels of silver from someone else, the emperor will naturally compensate the Zhou family. I think we should stop talking nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with us. Jianchang Hou got ten thousand taels of silver, and the Zhou family got tens of thousands.
Mu Tian, we haven’t harvested anything, so don’t make yourself embarrassed by talking too much.”
Zhang Yanling frowned and said nothing. He heard the sarcasm in Xu Yande's words and knew that they were not happy. Since the Zhou family had a bad reputation, several young masters also had opinions about them. Originally, he had punished perhaps a few of the Zhou family.
The young father-in-law was really happy as if he were watching the excitement. Now, the Zhou family has benefited, and so has he. He did not watch the excitement, but it made him feel sick, and naturally he felt unhappy. Not only them, but Zhang Yanling herself felt uncomfortable.
.
Zhang Heling couldn't bear it after hearing Xu Yande's words. He stood up and shouted: "Xu Yande, why are you so weird? Do you mean that my brother and the Zhou family deliberately caused such a trouble? You don't like the Zhou family, why don't you?
Go and make trouble with them by yourself? Why are you making sarcastic remarks here?"
Xu Yande did not show any weakness and sneered: "No one in Dingguo's palace is a queen or queen mother, so what's the fuss about? The success of Dingguo's palace depends on the loyalty and fight to the death of our ancestors. We rely on hanging our heads on our belts.
Work your butt off.”
Zhang Heling said angrily: "You bastard, you are still making sarcastic remarks. If you have the guts, say it in front of the emperor."
Xu Yande sneered and said: "I dare to tell you in front of the emperor, what achievements did you Zhang Heling make for the country, or what achievements did your ancestors make for the Ming Dynasty? How come you are here today without knowing it? What do you have in front of us?
Are you qualified to be arrogant?”
Zhang Heling was so angry that he was about to curse. Zhang Yanling, who was sitting next to him, slapped the table with his hand and shouted: "That's enough!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yanling in astonishment, and the expressions of several young masters darkened. Zhang Yanling's status here was not higher than anyone else's, and he was not qualified to bang the table.
"What's going on? Zhang Yanling, are you going to help your brother quarrel with me?" Xu Yande sneered.
Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think it's ridiculous? We are here scolding and quarreling with each other over the Zhou family's affairs. Zhou Shou and Zhou Ying will probably burst into laughter if they know about this."
Everyone stopped talking, and Zhang Yanling was right. These men had some grudges before, and they were all domineering people. When they met, they would start pinching each other if they said something wrong. Zhang Heling was even more upset because of Zhang Yanling's previous behavior.
I had already disliked Xu Yande because of the wedding. So I couldn't help hearing Xu Yande's weird and strange attitude.
"No wonder Zhou Shou was so proud when he went to my house to deliver money that day and said some words that I couldn't understand. But it turned out that he had already received the emperor's permission to buy fertile land in Baodi County. Hehe, this is good.
I made wedding clothes for others in vain." Zhang Yanling laughed at herself.
"That's all, it's not worth ruining your good mood because of the Zhou family's affairs. We are here to party, not to quarrel." Zhu Lin said with a smile.
Zhang Lun said: "Even though I said that, I still feel really uncomfortable. Damn it."
Zhang Yanling pondered: "Are all the young masters dissatisfied with the Zhou family?"
Zhang Lun said: "The Zhou family are like dogs. Don't you know that they fight fiercely with the officials in the court? Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu and others followed Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others around like dogs, and the civil servants in the outer court ignored him.
, but they greeted them with smiles. I heard someone say that they scolded our family of honorable ministers as worthless in front of the officials and cabinet ministers in the outer court. Damn it, my grandfather even scolded his Zhou family as bastards that day.
As a family of honorary relatives, we speak ill of our honorable relatives in front of outsiders. I didn’t quite understand why before, but after Zhu Lin’s incident last time, I felt that this was probably also a trick used by the civil servants in the outer court to divide us.
.It’s just something the Zhou family forced themselves into.”
"Fuck, when you say that, it's true that there is a traitor among us." Zhu Lin cursed with an angry look.
"Damn it, the Zhou family is really nothing. This happened to the Marquis of Jianchang, and I only blackmailed him for 10,000 taels of silver. If it were me, if Zhou Ying dared to come to my manor to beat someone, I would kill him on the spot.
His head is like a urinal." Xu Yande also cursed.
These young gentlemen, you and I kept scolding each other.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Everyone, stop scolding. If we scold here and they can't hear us, what's the point?"
Xu Yande said: "At least let out this birdy breath."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's not easy to vent your anger. I will find a way to ruin his good deeds."
"Oh?" The three young gentlemen all stared at Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling said casually: "The Zhou family has benefited from this matter, and I feel unhappy. I obviously want to teach them a lesson, but if they get great benefits instead, it will make me lose face. So.
I will deal with the matter myself and he will get nothing."
Zhang Lun clapped his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, I like to hear this. Zhang Yanling, I will put it here. If you can ruin the Zhou family and make such a fuss about us, I, Zhang Lun, will never do it again."
I have sincere admiration for you. From now on, I will treat you as one of my own sincerely."
Zhang Yanling asked with a smile: "So you haven't considered me one of your own yet."
Zhang Lundao: "To be honest, it's not really true."
Zhang Yanling sneered in his heart. How could he not know that Zhang Lun's statement was actually an act of arrogance? He was putting himself on the line and forcing himself to fight with the Zhou family. On the one hand, Zhang Lun did this because he did not want the Zhou family to benefit.
The other thing is that it is caused by the lack of acceptance of myself. In the final analysis, I have not really been recognized and accepted by them. This is also the conclusion I came to after the last party.
"Young gentlemen, I have a few honest words that I want to make clear today. I will deal with the affairs of the Zhou family, but not to gain your approval. Maybe you look at the Zhou family just like you looked at me before.
The brothers were just as prejudiced as before. They believed that the Zhou family was only what it is today due to nepotism, so they held ridicule and hostility and did not want the Zhou family to benefit. In addition, the Zhou family's behavior was outrageous.
Qi slandered Xun Qi, which naturally caused public outrage. I can understand all this. But the reason why I want to deal with this matter is because Zhou Shou and his son took advantage of the dispute between me and him, and took advantage of the emperor's good heart.
, this is something I cannot tolerate. And if he does this, the people in that field in Baodi County will definitely be harmed. This is tantamount to indirectly using me to harm others, so I have to stop him. Not to gain your approval.
"
Zhang Lun and others looked a little embarrassed. Zhang Yanling's words were too direct, and that's what they actually thought. As the saying goes, suffering from scarcity leads to inequality. The Zhou family has benefited in vain, which makes people feel unhappy, not to mention the fact that the Zhou family is among them.
In his eyes, he was a relative who was several levels below the Zhang family, and he couldn't tolerate the Zhou family poaching another piece of fat from the imperial court. He couldn't stand their words and deeds, so he was so angry. Zhang Yanling's words actually hit the mark.
"Young gentlemen, I, Zhang Yanling, am sincerely making friends with you. I made it very clear at the last gathering. The current situation of our family is actually very bad, so we must unite as one.
Only by moving forward and retreating together can we have strength as a team. But acceptance is mutual. If you always hold prejudices against my Zhang family and always say nonsense to ridicule us, I think we will never be able to truly be a team.
We are indeed relatives, but that is the grace of the emperor. Is it possible that I should be ashamed of it? As for everyone, since our ancestors are so glorious, we must not disgrace the glory of our ancestors and add glory to our family. I
Let me tell you something that you don’t like to hear. In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between you and me. I, the Zhang family, relied on my sister to become the queen today, why don’t you rely on your ancestors to get where you are today? If we were all born in ordinary families
, what’s the difference? So we can only say that everything is the emperor’s grace. Is there any distinction between high and low in the emperor’s grace?”
Zhu Lin said with a sarcastic smile: "Marquis Jianchang, we do not look down on your Zhang family..."
Zhang Yanling waved her hands and said: "Mr. Zhu Xiaogong, I'm not complaining. In fact, it doesn't matter to me. It's just that others are already watching eagerly, and we are still not vigilant. That's not going to work. Mr. Zhu Xiaogong also felt it personally. What I mean is
, if we cannot put aside our prejudices, it will be impossible to talk about mutual recognition and unity between us, and there will be no way to talk about revitalizing the family of honorary relatives. But such a gathering will be meaningless. You are all honorable men.
The leaders of the Qi Family will be the ones who will take on important responsibilities in the future. You don’t want the Xun Qi Family to be manipulated casually without being able to do anything about it. If someone else puts their spoon into your bowl to eat, you can only swallow it. Anyway.
I, Zhang Yanling, am not willing. You guys should think about this matter carefully. If you can't give up your extreme and treat it sincerely, I think this is our last gathering. I won't come to the next gathering. There is no need to eat or drink.
What does it mean, are we people who lack food, drink and feasting?”
The room was quiet. Xu Yande, Zhang Lun, and Zhu Lin all stared and stopped talking.
It stands to reason that with Zhang Yanling's status, he does not have the position to preach in this room. But Zhang Yanling's words are sincere and straightforward, and there is no taboo. As the saying goes, there is no poison in telling some things, but it is better to say it than to hide it.
Too many. His words really aroused the thoughts of the three young princes. For the three of them, the rise and fall of the Xunqi Group is definitely their most concerned and unshirkable responsibility. Because they are the members of the Xunqi Group.
Leaders and backbones. They also benefit much more than others. Others may not care, but they cannot ignore it.
