Today's Liu Bei Group does not have a formal territory. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a grass-roots team. The division of power is naturally extremely vague.
As the military chief, Zhang Heng is in charge of the military affairs, and he has the sword given by Liu Bei. Strictly speaking, he can recruit all the generals' troops, although he rarely uses this right.
But to outsiders, this is simply incomprehensible.
"A master should never lose power for a day. If Liu Xuande gave such great power to Zhang Ziyi, wouldn't he be afraid of being ignored?" Xun Shuang asked with a frown.
Xun You shook his head, "My uncle didn't know. When the Suanzao Alliance was formed, Zhang Ziyi represented Zhang Taiwei. Although he had no soldiers or generals, he could be regarded as a prince. But he was attached to Xuande Gong. He often made suggestions for him. The high position Xuande has today is 80% due to Zhang Ziyi. Xuande was grateful and had great trust in him, but Zhang Ziyi never acted with authority. This shows that his heart is pure. , is not a person who is greedy for power, so there is no need to worry."
Hearing this, Xun Shuang looked shocked at first, but then said with deep emotion: "Not greedy for power, not greedy for money, this shows that Zhang Ziyi wants to leave a name in history, but he is also a man with a tough mind!"
Xun Yu suddenly said: "Uncle, if our Xun family wants to occupy a place under Liu Xuande, in addition to showing our own talents, I am afraid we will have to fall to Zhang Ziyi."
"What does Wen Ruo mean by this?" Xun Shuang asked a little confused.
Xun Yu smiled faintly, his eyes shining with wisdom.
"Throughout the dynasties, the heroes who have achieved great glory and died in their hometowns are all the old members of the monarch's Yuan Cong, or those who are married to the monarch. Now under Liu Xuande, only Zhang Ziyi has some friendship with our Xun family, so we might as well start with him ."
Although Xun Yu had no intention of fighting for power, for the sake of the children of the clan and the reputation of the family, once the Xun family defected to Liu Bei, they would definitely have a place.
Now that Liu Bei has become a prince, Yuan Cong's old tribe cannot catch up, so he can only consider the second way, which is to use so-called marriage to consolidate his position.
Xun Shuang nodded and said with deep understanding: "Marriage is a feasible method, but I don't know if Liu Xuande has a wife."
"Uncle, Liu Xuande is nearly thirty years old. How could he not be married and have children? I, the daughter of the Xun family, must not be young." match."
As the two of them spoke, they turned their attention to Xun You, the only insider.
"This..." Xun You said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Xuande does have a wife and children, but he died in the turmoil during successive battles in the past few years, and now he is alone."
"So good!"
Xun Shuang laughed loudly when he heard the words, but suddenly realized that these words were a bit inappropriate, so he had to cough lightly to cover it up in embarrassment.
"What I mean is that if Liu Xuande can marry my Xun daughter, everyone will be happy. Well... if Zhang Ziyi can also marry one, it would be the best."
Having said this, Xun Shuang suddenly remembered the scene when Zhang Wen asked Zhang Heng to marry his daughter Xun Cai when he fled from Luoyang.
Alas, that was sloppy, that punch shouldn't have been given.
Although Zhang Boxen's words were hateful, it was still a good suggestion. Unfortunately, Nv Xun was unwilling to remarry, which was really a headache.
"Gongda, I'll leave this matter to you. Let's first explore the tone of Liu Xuande and Zhang Ziyi." Xun Shuang ordered.
"only!"
Although Xun You thought Xun Shuang was a little greedy, he quickly agreed.
"I'm tired, please leave for now."
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Xun Shuang was worried about his daughter's lifelong events, so he waved his sleeves and dismissed the three of them.
"Uncle, rest in peace, nephew, take leave!"
The three of them stood up, bowed their hands, and then turned around and left.
After the three people left, Xun Shuang called the housekeeper with a wave of his hand.
"Where is the daughter Xun? Let her come to see me."
"only!"
The butler answered outside the door.
…
While the Xun family was discussing the fate of the family, Zhang Wen and Cai Yong were sitting opposite each other drinking tea in the guest room of the Xun Mansion.
"Brother Bo Shen, why are you here to visit?" Cai Yong asked with a smile.
After the noon banquet, Zhang Wen came over mysteriously, and Cai Yong had to make tea to entertain him.
The two chatted for a long time and drank several pots of tea, but Zhang Wen still refused to reveal his purpose, so Cai Yong had to take the initiative to ask.
"Brother Bozhe, I am here because of a big happy event." Zhang Wen said with a smile on his face.
Cai Yong asked curiously: "But I don't know what the happy event is?"
"Last time, Luoyang killed the Dong thief's minions. Brother Bozhe tried his best to kill the thief, but unfortunately he died. I also regret it very much. But people can't be resurrected, and my concubine can't always keep the law and not marry. What does Brother Bozhe think? "
That's not a good thing you did!
On my daughter's wedding day, you rushed into the house and started beating, smashing, looting and burning, which made my daughter a widow. Now you still have the nerve to mention it!
When Wei Zhongdao was mentioned, Cai Yong's face immediately turned ugly.
But when he heard what happened later, Cai Yong immediately understood Zhang Wen's intention.
This old guy is here to act as a matchmaker today?
Well, it makes sense that you ruined my daughter's marriage and then compensated me for it.
"Brother Bo Shen, do you want to find a marriage for your little girl?" Cai Yong asked, thinking about his beard.
Zhang Wen nodded quickly and said: "Yes, since ancient times, men have been married and women have been married. It is not an option for my concubine to continue like this. It is better to choose a better son-in-law, or to play the piano and play the piano."
Cai Yong pondered for a moment and then continued: "But I wonder whose husband can let Brother Bo Shen personally protect the matchmaker? Although my family, Cai, is not high-ranking, my daughter cannot be married to anyone."
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Bozhe, of course you won't dare to wrong your daughter." Zhang Wen said with a smile, "There is a young talent at the moment, his demeanor is as gentle as jade, he has the style of an ancient gentleman, and he is both civilized and military, at a young age Being able to hold a high position with ease is a perfect match for my daughter-in-law."
"Brother Bo Shen, there is no need to be so secretive anymore. Why don't we just tell him directly, who is he?"
Cai Yong had actually guessed it, but he still pretended not to know and asked with a curious smile.
"My nephew Zhang Ziyi, what do you think, Brother Bozhe?"
Sure enough, it's Zhang Ziyi!
"Very good. Ziyi's virtuous nephew is a talented person, both civil and military. If we can get married, my daughter will be in a league of her own." Cai Yong nodded.
Zhang Wen quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Bozhe, what are you talking about? Being able to have your wife as his wife is a blessing he has cultivated in ten lifetimes!"
At the beginning, Cai Yong felt that the world was about to be in chaos, so he hastily married his daughter to Wei Zhongdao, thinking that if something unexpected happened to him in the future, the power of the Wei family in Hedong would be able to protect his two daughters.
But if we compare Wei Zhongdao and Zhang Heng together...
Cai Yong couldn't find a suitable adjective at all. Even if he described it as a cloud and mud, it would be a bit of a compliment to Wei Zhongdao.
But then I thought about it, Zhang Heng was now the number two figure in the Liu Bei Group, and it was still a matter of debate whether he would be willing to marry a widow.
"Thanks to Brother Boshen's love, my daughter is willing to serve Captain Zhang, but I wonder what my nephew wants?" Cai Yong said hesitantly.
Zhang Wen immediately waved his sleeves and said with a proud face: "Marriage matters have been ordered by parents since ancient times. The matchmaker said that with me and his parents here, how can he be allowed to make his own decision? If Brother Bojie has no objection, this That’s it!”
Mr. Xun Shuang, do you think that without your widowed daughter, my nephew will not be able to find a wife?
You blind bitch, it's too late to kneel down and beg me now!
Although Cai Yong has no clan power, his personal reputation far exceeds that of Xun Shuang. He is also a famous Wenzong with great talents all over the world. The help that his marriage brings to Zhang Heng is definitely no less than that of Xun Shuang.
