Chapter 371: Chang'an Rebellion (III)

The Zhen family of Zhongshan is not a simple family of merchants, but a serious family of officials.

His ancestor Zhen Han (han), once served as the Taibao, but later his family declined. By the time of Zhen Yi, he also served as the ruling of Shangcai (now Shangcai, Henan). His official position was not very high, perhaps because Zhen Yi had no intention of this, so he quickly resigned from office and stopped working.

After Zhen Yi resigned from office, he married the daughter of the Zhang family of Zhongshan clan and then inherited his ancestral property.

The Zhang family in Zhongshan is not about Zhang Shiping, but the upright Zhang family in Zhongshan. During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the Zhang family was also considered a big figure. It was the counselor who was dismissed from Emperor Ling of Han, Zhang Jun.

Zhang Shiping, to put it bluntly, is just a remote branch of the Zhang clan in Zhongshan.

Zhen Yi has three sons and five daughters, the eldest son Zhen Yu, the second son Zhen Yan, and the youngest son Zhen Yao. The five daughters are Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong and Zhen Mi. Zhen Mi’s name was originally called Zhen Luo. It was just because he was beautiful, dignified and steady, and did not like to play, so he was also called Mi (fu or mi).

Mi, in the article "Yu Pian", there is such an explanation: cessation, tranquility, and silence...

What this means is that this girl Zhen Luo is very quiet, steady, introverted, and doesn't like to talk.

This is an alias given to Zhen Luo by Zhang Jun.

To a certain extent, it reflects the temperament of Zhen Luo.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhen Mi's name is even more famous than Zhen Luo's name.

*******

Zhen Yan is twenty-seven years old and has a calm personality.

According to the rules, all the ancestors passed down by the eldest son. However, Zhen Yu, a nerd person, did not like the way of merchants very much. Instead, Zhen Yan loved it quite a bit, so he became the successor of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yu had no objection to this and happened to be studying at home.

Chen Gong accompanied Zhen Yan into the living room, smiled slightly at Gu Yong, and said hello to Gu Yong.

But for some reason, Gu Yong always felt that Chen Gong's smile contained other meanings, which looked very strange.

Su You and Zhang Zun stood up and saluted Zhen Yan.

"I don't know that the second young master is coming and we are unable to meet you. I am really disrespectful!"

Zhen Yan was very cheerful and had no airs. He exchanged a few greetings with Su You and Zhang Zun, then looked at Gu Yong, and then looked at Wu Qiu Jian.

"Is this Mr. Gu, Wujun?"

"Ah, it's exactly what I'm going down!"

Zhen Yan turned to Wuqiu Jian again. Just as he was about to speak, Wuqiu Jian had already stood up and reported his name to Zhen Yan.

It's true!

Zhen Yan glanced at Chen Gong beside him, and his eyes showed such a demeanor.

And that spirit also made Gu Yong even more curious. These two people came today, probably not just a simple visit.

Sure enough, after talking for a few words, Zhen Yan suddenly said, "Brother Su, I came here today, but I asked Brother Su for help."

Su You and Zhang Zun were stunned and looked at Zhen Yan in confusion.

"Where did Brother Zhongkun start?"

As he said that, Su You stood up and made a gesture. The irrelevant servants left one after another, but there were twenty people at the door standing still.

Those twenty Zhuangzi didn't seem to have any special places among the crowd.

But even Gu Yong saw a clue after such a separate stop: these twenty people seem to be not simple!

Just looking at them, they are all dressed up by ordinary servants, each with a sword.

The sword is four feet and nine inches long, longer than an ordinary sword. It has a calm temperament and looks very alert.

Chen Gong laughed...

"The second young master came today because he knew that both of them were capable people. As long as he took action, he would definitely save the Zhen family."

"Mr. Gongtai, you said this...haha, I really don't understand."

"Oh, why should Mr. Su hide it anymore? If you are not sure, how dare the palace invite the second son to come and ask? The Su and Zhang families are all working in detail for Guanzhong. I am afraid that when the Grand Commander was still in the Western Regions, Su Weng and Zhang Weng had already joined the King of Han."

Chen Gong's words are no different from a thunderbolt.

Although Gu Yong had already vaguely guessed some clues, he was still shocked by Chen Gong's words.

Su You and Zhang Zun's face suddenly changed.

The guard at the door suddenly turned around, but at this time Wu Qiujian raised his hand and gently pressed his palm downwards, and the guard left the living room again.

This is indeed...

Zhen Yan may not have guessed that Chen Gong would be so straightforward and his face looked a little ugly.

But if Chen Gong disappeared, he smiled faintly: "In recent years, Weng Su can always get purebred horses, and Weng Zhang can also get the brilliant weapons produced from the Western Regions. Everyone thought that the second Weng bought them through foreign races outside the border, but it is unlikely that the Grand Governor's attitude towards foreign races was treated. Therefore, Gong had doubts a long time ago."

Neither Su You nor Zhang Zun spoke.

However, the fine sweat beads oozing out of their foreheads betrayed the tension in their hearts.

"The second young master once said that after the Grand Commander entered the Western Regions, he cut off the horse source in the Western Regions. The Zhen family was ordered to try to practice with the Western Regions to obtain the right to purchase horses and weapons. At that time, the Zhen family offered very generous conditions. But unexpectedly, it was not successful. Gong was thinking at the time: Why did the Grand Commander look down on such a large force in the Zhen family? Could it be that the Grand Commander had found other partners in this Jizhou?

However, at that time I was just suspicious, but I couldn't confirm..."

Su You said in a deep voice: "Maybe Mr. Gongtai, can you confirm it first?"

"The palace only confirmed three days ago. Brother Yuan Tan, please don't be angry. If you weren't brother, you would have difficulty making a judgment. Mr. Su, you were too enthusiastic at that time, and the enthusiasm made me doubt it.

Although Brother Gu is a prominent family in Jiangdong, it is not enough to make you so attentive.

The Gu family is not as hard as they were back then. There is only one reason why you are so attentive, that is, another identity of Gu Xiandi: He is the senior brother of the Grand Commander and once studied under Mr. Yu Boyi. I wonder if it is correct?"

Su You and Zhang Zun still didn't speak.

On the contrary, Wu Qiu Jian suddenly smiled, "Mr. Gongtai is indeed very clever, and I believe he already knows the origin of it?"

"It is actually not difficult to infer the origin of Zhong Gong. However, Gong can only confirm that Zhong Gong is under the command of the Grand Governor, but he cannot guess your status. It is probably the idea of ​​Lord Wuqiu to welcome Brother Gu to the village. Because the Grand Governor already knew that Gu Xiandi had suffered a tragic incident at his home, he ordered to pay close attention to find out whereabouts of Brother Gu Xiandi."

Wu Qiu Jian said: "Yes, as soon as the news of an accident at Mr. Gu's home came into the ears of the lord, the lord immediately ordered the Marquis of Linxiang Ting to send someone to inquire about Mr. Gu's news. Unexpectedly, I was negligent and was seen by Mr. Gongtai.

Mr. Gongtai is indeed a good person, and he is worthy of the wise men praised by his lord."

Chen Gong was stunned, "The Grand Governor actually knew the reputation of the palace?"

Wu Qiu Jian smiled and said, "The Grand Governor naturally knew... Although the gentleman was in Chang'an, he was only a minor official with Guangluxun's five-staff members, but he provoked Li Guo to rebel and become enemies, and sent the fake emperor to escape from Chang'an, causing great chaos in Guanzhong, which is not simple."

Oh my god, who are these people?

Not only Gu Yong, Su and Zhang Zun were stunned, but even Zhen Yan had to look at Chen Gong carefully.

An excitement appeared on Chen Gong's face.

Both sides were very clear in their words and clearly stated their background.

Wu Qiuyi said: "Since the sir already knows our foundation, you might as well explain your request clearly."

Chen Gong smiled: "It's better to ask the second young master to talk about this matter."

Zhen Yan's head was dizzy and a little overwhelmed.

To be honest, Chen Gong said before coming that Su and Zhang could definitely solve this matter. Zhen Yan didn't believe it at that time.

Thinking about it, Su and Zhang are just merchants and are not as powerful as the Zhen family. How can they solve their own troubles? He never thought that Mr. Chen, who has been serving as a teacher at home, has such a story.

Zhen Yan took several deep breaths, and finally stabilized his emotions.

He looked at Wu Qiu Jian and said seriously: "But I don't know if Mr. Wu Qiu can make the decision?"

"Jian can make the decision on what happens in Jizhou. This is the order that Jian received before he came to Zhongshan."

Zhen Yan said: "Since that's the case, I might as well say it bluntly. Please ask the young master to terminate the marriage between the Zhen family and the Yuan family on my behalf. I believe Mr. Wuqiu already knows the reason. In a word, my family business accumulated over the generations of my Zhen family does not want to be annexed by the Yuan family. As long as this marriage can be terminated, the Zhen family will be grateful."

It's actually this...

Wu Qiujian felt a little headache.

He came to Zhongshan, but he had another task. The importance of the task he shouldered was related to the survival of Guanzhong.

Zhen Yan looked at Wu Qiu Jian earnestly and waited for his answer.

Chen Gong suddenly said, "Mr. Wuqiu, Gong asked me if I asked?"

"Sir, please tell me!"

"The Palace wants to know if the Grand Governor is alive now?"

Wu Qiujian felt a sudden slap in his heart, and looked at Chen Gong in horror, thinking: Could this guy be... as good as a military advisor?

Chen Gong smiled and stood up.

"Sir, there is no need to answer. Gong already knows the answer. Second Young Master, can we go back now and come back in a few days?"

"Why?"

Zhen Yan had not reacted yet and couldn't figure out what Chen Gong said.

No wonder Wu Qiu Jian hasn't answered yet. Can he help him? What is it like to go back like this?

However, since he knew the origin of Chen Gong, Zhen Yan would not say more.

The ideas of people like Chen Gong are definitely not something he can measure. Since Chen Gong said that, let’s listen to him.

Wu Qiu Jian did not stop him and waved his hand to signal the guards at the door to let go.

"Brother, just let them go like that? Are you not afraid of them..."

"Don't worry, two brothers, the Zhen family wants to ask for the fate of being annexed, so they can only rely on us. He can naturally distinguish which one is more important. Besides, that Mr. Chen is not an ordinary person. Since he has spoken out, he is already showing his attitude to us... Don't worry, the Zhen family will not be rude, Mr. Gu thinks it is?"

And Gu Yong, at this moment, his heart was extremely excited.

After hearing Wu Qiu Jian's questioning, he laughed... and he was very happy. The gloom in his heart was wiped out after more than a month.

"Mr. Wuqiu, I just want to know when the Grand Governor will arrive in Zhongshan?"
