Chapter 44 Reactions
"But Dad, what if the tide recedes?" Zhang Ye said
"Ye'er, think about it carefully. When is the time when the tide recedes? If we can still be killed by the donkey by then, then our Zhang family is incompetent and cannot blame others." Zhang Ling said
"Dad, then when will we join him? Is it more appropriate?" Zhang Ye said
"No hurry now. Now the eyes of the capital are all concentrated in our house. You can't do too much action at this time." Zhang Ling said
"Then I know Dad, now I'll wait for the Sixth Prince to take action." Zhang Ye said
"The Sixth Prince, don't worry, he will not cause trouble for your father-in-law in the future." Zhang Ling said
"Dad, is it because of the third brother?" Zhang Ye said
"You are finally smart. If you don't know, I will regret it and give birth to you first." Zhang Ling said
"No, Dad, you're so hurting your son?" Zhang Ye said
"Sad? This is easy to deal with. I will settle the score with you, so you won't be sad. Although Saburo was not punished for this incident."
"But your father was jailed for one month and fined another one year's salary. Do you have to compensate me?" Zhang Ling said
"No, Dad, you have no reason, how can I make me compensate you? You have to ask Sanlang to compensate you, it just so happens that he has money." Zhang Ye said
"Hmm? What does this matter have to do with Saburo? Why do you ask others to compensate? Isn't they doing this for your father-in-law?" Zhang Ling said
"No, Dad, please make some sense. You ordered this marriage for me. Can you find me on this?" Zhang Ye said
"I ordered it for you? Are you sure I ordered it for you? How do I remember that you were so angry that you had to marry someone else's Huang family girl?" Zhang Ling said
"It's not dad, okay, I can't accept it. I'll tell you a lot, can't I pay it?" Zhang Ye said
"Well, wouldn't you just finish saying this? It's the same as asking you to get some money. What's the matter with you?" Zhang Ling said
"It's not dad, we are so stingy, so that's right for you? You can calculate it yourself. When we were young, we were not as good as those in the Earls' family." Zhang Ye said aggrievedly.
"Ahem, how many years have passed, why do you want to mention these old sesame seeds and rotten millet?"
"Due to your grievances when you were a child, I will give you less points this time. Just give me 10,000 taels and just make a point." Zhang Ling said
"What? Why don't you rob it? No, I would rather kneel down in the ancestral hall than I would give it to you. I'm going to the ancestral hall now." Zhang Ye said anxiously.
"Hey, come back, why are you so anxious? You are the eldest son of the family. You are so old. You kneel on the ancestral hall? You can think of it, forget it, you can say it's okay, right? You say it yourself." Zhang Ling said
"I will give you five hundred taels at most, and there is no more." Zhang Ye said
"What? Five hundred taels? You are begging for food. I am your real father. If you do this, are you worthy of me?"
"I don't care. At least one thousand taels, not one taels less. I'll do it. I'm not afraid of embarrassing people. If you want to kneel down in the ancestral hall, then you can go." Zhang Ling said
"I'll accept your father, I'll give it to you, can't I give it to me?" Zhang Ye said
"Oh, that's right. Get the money quickly. After giving the money, you can go back quickly. I've been busy all day long and I'm so tired." Zhang Ling said impatiently.
Zhang Ye was in pain and took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them to Zhang Ling. After leaving without looking back, he was afraid that he would regret it and snatch it back.
Looking at his son's back as he left, Zhang Ling said bitterly, "Ye'er, dad has no choice. The knife has been put on his neck, so we have to fight back."
At this time, Zhang Ye's expression returned to calm. He knew that his father asked him for money just now, but he just wanted to divert his attention.
The Zhang family's hundreds of years of foundation may be destroyed by its own generation. When Zhang Ye thinks that his title is hard-won, he feels very distressed.
Back then, my ancestors followed Emperor Taizu from their hometown to conquer the world. Because of their lack of ability, they did not make much contribution.
But I was very lucky and saved Emperor Taizu twice, so when I founded the country, I planned to give him a count.
However, after hearing this, my ancestors were unwilling to do so. They went to the palace to talk to Emperor Taizu for a long time, and finally their title changed from Yongyi Bo to Yongning Marquis.
That's right, this Yong Yi Bo is the title that the Zhang family deserves. His ancestors were dismissed from all official positions at that time and only received the title of marquis.
At that time, the family didn't understand him very much, so they were removed from all their official positions just for the sake of the title of marquis. This was not worthy of being.
It was not until Emperor Taizu's great purge in his later years that his family understood his good intentions.
It was because of his shamelessness at that time that Emperor Taizu let go of this childhood friend who had no ambitions.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been fewer titles in the founding country, and the marquis' families are even rarer than those of the duke's families.
This is the confidence of the old Zhang family. It is the fundamental reason why the Duke of the country can be forced to resist. The current founding marquis of the country will not be replaced by a duke.
Only then did he realize that the emperor had already begun to plot against his family since his third brother was named Yongyi Bo.
This time, I can't escape the disaster, so I have to enter the game. It depends on who will win in the end, and I have to fight for it no matter what.
The Sixth Prince was also discussing today's affairs with his aide Sun Cheng at this time.
"Prince, the Huang family can't move anymore, and you can't move anymore. If you feel really upset, then find a way to change him." Sun Cheng advised
"Hmm? Is it really that powerful? This is too..." Liu Yun said
"Prince, that Zhang Sheng is clearly a bait released by the emperor. It is targeted by you and those two. If you compete with him, it is equivalent to competing with the emperor, which is not worth it." Sun Cheng said
"I know, but I can't swallow this. The Zhang family is too arrogant. Are they not afraid of me in the future..." Liu Yun said
"Prince, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. It's not that the Zhang family is not afraid, but that there is no way. Now the Zhang family is just the chess piece in the hands of the emperor. How can the chess piece be qualified to speak?" Sun Cheng said.
"Well, forgot, I want to see how long can the Zhang family be arrogant!" Liu Yun said
"The prince is wise." Sun Chengdao
"Okay, sir, let's not talk about the Zhang family's affairs for now. Jiangnan can't be suppressed. According to Mr., who will the old man send to Jiangnan this time?" Liu Yun said.
"Prince, in my opinion, the emperor should send the Eighth Prince's people this time." Sun Cheng said
"Hmm? Are you talking about Chen Shunzhang?" Liu Yun said
