Zhang Huan's intestines were about to turn green yesterday, but the big words have been spoken, so he can't give up without giving it a try, right? I heard someone said this morning that Wang Ning went to Qingshou Temple, and Zhang Huan immediately felt like he was grasping for help.
Straw quickly put on the so-called 'family heirloom armor' and rushed to Wang Ning's house to try his luck.
Even so, until they met, Zhang Hui didn't feel confident at all. He was even thinking that if Wang Ning categorically rejected him, would he have to find a way to escape this hurdle? Even so.
I feel sorry for Wang Xian, but my dead Taoist friend is not my poor Taoist, so there is no need for me to accompany him to death.
Unexpectedly, the meeting went surprisingly smoothly. Not only did Wang Ning resolutely draw a clear line with the King of Han, but he also expressed that he would fight alongside him. This made Zhang Kai pinch himself hard and felt very painful before he believed that he was not dreaming...
…
Wang Ning looked at the excited Zhang Sala with a smile, and was secretly excited in his heart. He had already received the certificate of surrender at Qingshou Temple. Even if Zhang Sala did not show up, he would still have to go to the dark side. Now there is Zhang Sala's army.
Right guard, the prince's side is more powerful, and the chance of winning is even greater. Wang Ning couldn't help but secretly marveled, thinking that the prince really has the emperor's destiny, and as soon as I stood on his side, things turned around, and there was strong support as soon as I returned home.
Come vote.
Just like Wang Ning would not tell Zhang Sala that Wang Xian was in Qingshou Temple, Zhang Sala would not tell Wang Ning that he met Wang Xian first before visiting. As a result, both parties thought that the other party took the initiative.
This greatly increased their confidence, and they began to believe that victory would be theirs.
Of course, what gave the Marquis of Yongchun confidence was the so-called 'family heirloom armor' on Zhang Sala. The reason why it is so-called is because the real family heirloom armor is still with the British prince and was brought to him by him.
Annan has gone. And the piece on Zhang Wei's body is just a realistic imitation. It's not that it was made temporarily to deceive people this time. It was when the brothers separated after the old lady passed away, Zhang Wei found
Zhang Fu asked for the authentic product and asked someone to secretly forge it, preparing to keep it as a family heirloom. Everyone was Zhang Yu's son, so Zhang Fu would naturally not refuse Zhang Huo's request, which was not too much. But he didn't expect that this guy would actually do this.
It’s time to take it out and pass it off as the real thing…
It can be said that Wang Ning, the old consort, really made mistakes this time. First, he was deceived by Wang Xian with a forged Daoyan letter, and then he was deceived by Zhang Wei with a counterfeit armor when he returned home. It was true that the wave behind the Yangtze River pushed the wave ahead, and the wave in front was shot to death.
On the beach…
In any case, both of them were very excited. When it was noon, Wang Ning didn't let Zhang Hu go home. He ordered the cook to cook some Huaiyang side dishes, and the two of them talked secretly over a cup in the study.
While drinking wine, Zhang Hui said with a smile: "I've heard for a long time that the Huaiyang cuisine at the eldest princess's house is the best in the world, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to get this good taste. I didn't expect that I got what I wanted today."
"How does it taste?" Even in the circle of princes, Yongchun Hou is a person who knows how to enjoy things. Hearing the other party praising his own food, Wang Ning narrowed his eyes with a proud smile.
"It's so full of color, flavor, and flavor that once you taste it, gods will descend to earth." Zhang Sala sighed as he spoke, with a sad look on his face.
"Since it's delicious, why are you sighing?" Wang Ning asked strangely.
"I suddenly thought, what should I do if I can't eat my own food after I go back?" Zhang Hao sighed: "Hey, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"Oh, hahaha..." Wang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he was flattered by Zhang Sala, making every pore in his body feel comfortable. Then he laughed loudly and said, "Then I have sinned.
"
"Hey, I brought it upon myself, and I can't blame Uncle Shi." Zhang Kai said with a bitter smile. This is the so-called aristocratic style. No matter how silly the flattery is, he always speaks seriously, making the other party laugh, and he can still act calmly.
.
"Chengcheng, I can't watch you starve to death," Wang Ning said with a smile: "I will ask you to choose two chefs to go to your house to cook for you. They are all the royal chefs in the Hongwu Dynasty palace, you can't treat them lightly.
"
"Of course, it's too late for me to offer you as a treasure." Zhang Sala was overjoyed, stood up and bowed to Wang Ning: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, you are my biological uncle."
"If you really recognize me as your uncle, I'm sure you won't suffer the consequences." Wang Ning said with a half-serious smile. No matter from any angle, it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with the other party.
"If that's the case, I will change my name to uncle." The same goes for Zhang Sala. Children of aristocratic families are born with the instinct to form cliques. He immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Uncle, please accept my nephew's greetings."
"No gifts, no gifts." Wang Ning hurriedly smiled and pulled him up, patted Zhang Sala on the shoulder and said, "You must come here more often in the future, otherwise I will not recognize you as my nephew."
"Of course, I'm afraid that my uncle and aunt will find it annoying if I come too often." Zhang Hao said with a smile. The two of them are so enthusiastic, just like their uncle and nephew.
"That's not the case." Wang Ning smiled and said seriously: "Now that we have become a family, we will be honest and honest. We have both made up our minds, but the prince's side still does not have enough manpower. Have you ever gone to see Gu Xingzu?"
A veteran like Wang Ning knows very well who among the nobles in the capital has a good relationship with whom, who doesn't deal with whom, and who doesn't get along with whom.
"Not yet, uncle is the first one to come here." Zhang Hao once again showed his enthusiasm for bragging about not paying taxes, and said shamelessly: "But don't worry, uncle, we grew up naked, and our friendship is strong.
"
"It's true that you have a good friendship, but last year Gu Xingzu was able to inherit the title, all because of the strong recommendation of the King of Han." Wang Ning took a sip of wine and said calmly: "Xiao Gu is grateful to the King of Han, and he only follows his lead. How does it compare to your friendship?
"
Gu Xingzu's grandfather, Gu Cheng, was a personal soldier in charge of the umbrella in front of Emperor Taizu's tent. As Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the South and the North, he was promoted to the General of the Southern Conquest. Before the Battle of Jingnan, he had been promoted to the Governor of the Left Army Governor's Palace.
In the first year of the founding of the army, he followed Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen to the north to defend against the enemy, but was defeated and captured in Zhending.
Gu Cheng was loyal and refused to surrender. But Zhu Di knew that he was a general and was unwilling to kill him. He personally released Gu Cheng's bonds and said: Isn't this the emperor's spirit in heaven who gave you to me? That's right?
Gu Cheng cried silently. Zhu Di told him the reason why he was forced to raise troops, and retreated to the next best thing, so that he did not have to fight with the court and only had to assist the prince in Peiping.
Gu Cheng was finally moved by Zhu Di's sincerity and agreed to stay in Peiping. Although he always refused to lead the troops and refused to accept Zhu Di's reward, he still made great contributions to the prince by advising him in the defense of Peiping. When Zhu Di ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the discussion
After his meritorious deeds were rewarded, Gu was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan, and was promoted to the rank of Ronglu. He served as the governor of the Shangzhu Kingdom and the governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Office. He was an important town in the southwest. He suppressed many rebellions and became a powerful person in Yunnan and Guizhou. This old general also lived a long life. He died last year.
At the age of eighty-five, he was posthumously given to Duke Xia and given the posthumous title of Wu Yi.
After Gu Cheng's death, the biggest issue was the inheritance of the title. Gu Cheng had eight sons, among whom the eldest son Gu Tong had already been promoted to the commander of Puding Guards in the first year of Jianwen, and was deeply loved by Gu Cheng. However, because his father surrendered to Yan
, together with his third brother Gu Xian, fourth brother Gu Quan, and fifth brother Gu Rui, were executed by Jianwen.
The remaining four were spared because the second oldest, Gu Yong, followed his father in the war, while the sixth, seventh and eighth were all still five or six years old, so they were not killed. However, the seventh and eighth children were true.
In 2001, he also walked ahead of Gu Cheng. Therefore, among the eight sons, only the second son Gu Yong and the sixth son Gu Liang are still alive.
In Gu Yong's opinion, this title belongs to him, because he is the legitimate son, and he also followed his father in the Northern and Southern War, and now he has reached the rank of Governor and Tongzhi. Moreover, he formed a deep friendship with the prince during the Peking Defense War.
.And his younger brother Gu Liang is only twenty years old and born as a commoner. No matter from which side, he does not pose a threat to him.
In the end, Gu Yong only guessed half of the time, and Gu Liang really could not pose a threat to him. However, according to the decree, the person who inherited the position of marquis was his dead brother's son Gu Xingzu.
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Gu Yong was immediately stunned. He lost his temper and ran to the official department to ask for an explanation. If they didn't explain, he would not leave. At the age of the boss, he had been a high-ranking official, but he cried all the time.
Tears flowed freely, and one could not help but feel sympathy. Later, the doctor of the title verification department finally revealed the truth in private. It was the emperor who said that the order was in order and the title should be passed on to the eldest son and grandson first... The cabinet scholar understood the holy intention and transferred the title to the eldest son.
He passed over Gu Yong and was granted the title to Gu Xingzu, Gu Tong's son... In fact, Gu Xingzu was not Gu Tong's eldest son. He had an elder brother above him, but he was already dead.
So even if there is a direct descendant or not a direct descendant, one of us is the second son and the other is the second grandson. Speaking of it, the former is closer. But you would be too naive to really believe the reasons put on the table. Later, Gu Yong found out,
It turned out that it was because he and the prince had jointly defended Peiping and had always had a good relationship, so the king of Han did not like him. The latter spoke ill of himself to the emperor, which led to this result...
Gu Xingzu was really hit by a pie in the sky. He was an unlucky boy with a father but no father, and suddenly he became the Marquis of Zhenyuan. At this time, someone said to him, it was because His Highness the King of Han spoke for you, Gu Xingzu
Naturally, he was grateful and hurriedly went to the Han Dynasty to express his gratitude. The Han Dynasty did not deny it and happily accepted his loyalty.
In the past year, his second uncle Gu Yong actually became depressed and fell ill. The King of Han helped Gu Xingzu become the governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a rebirth of kindness. In comparison, the relationship between Gu Xingzu and Zhang Wei
Poor fair-weather friendship is really not worth mentioning...
But Zhang Wei also had a secret weapon. He knew an ulterior secret of Gu Xingzu - in the fifth year of Yongle reign, Gu Xingzu's eldest brother Gu Zaixing was jealous of a wealthy businessman on the Qinhuai River, and impulsively stabbed him to death. This happened
In a local area, it would be nothing if the grandson of a dignified marquis killed someone. But this was in the capital, in full view of the public, and the deceased was not an ordinary citizen.
What's even more unfortunate is that Zhu Di has long been dissatisfied with the arrogant nobles who rely on their merits. He just took the opportunity to scare the monkeys. Due to multiple factors, Gu Zaixing was sentenced to be executed in prison, and he was asked to be executed after the fall.
However, before the autumn, Gu Zaixing died in prison. But this did not affect the effect of 'killing chickens to scare monkeys'. Later, the group of noble disciples in Beijing actually stopped for a long time...
