Chapter 24 Inquiry (Part 1)

"Bo Gao is easy to plan! Zhang should really ask you for advice earlier, so as to avoid restlessness for several days." After the words came, Zhang Qian immediately raised his thumbs up in admiration.

"My dear, Zhang Chanjun's move is really a magical stroke!"

"Awesome, Brother Bo Gao is worthy of being a bookcase with two feet. When you say it casually, it makes people feel enlightened!"

"The legendary military advisor is just like this. Zhang Chanjun is very impressed!"

...

Around the world, praise sounded one after another. Luo Huaizu, Guo Nu, Lu Dechuan and others also bowed to Zhang Xu in admiration.

Although everyone is not good at power struggles, at this moment, you can see that it is also far away from the vortex. Zhang Xu's plan is much more clever and has much more initiative than Zhang Qian's original plan.

Of course, if you stand outside the vortex to save people, whoever you don’t save, the tricks inside will be in the sea!

Those who are vicious, notorious and forget about their righteousness, and those who have stabbed Zhang Qian in the back, there is no need to save them at that time. Those who have good character, knowledge, integrity, or have been kind to Zhang Dupu, will of course be able to save each person at that time.

In this way, it can not only quickly calm the chaos after Emperor Zhongzong's death, but also greatly retain the vitality of the Tang Dynasty court, but also expand Zhang Qian's influence and bring many benefits to the entire "Broken Leaf System". Why don't you do it?!

Of course, compared to the original departure, Zhang Xu's plan increased several times in terms of difficulty in execution and manpower and material resources that need to be used. Therefore, after admiring, Zhang Qian decided to use Zhang Xu's plan as the basic action strategy for the next few months, and led everyone to start enriching the details of each step, arrange manpower, money and materials in advance, and prepare for the future.

Everything is simple to say and complicated to do. It took four hours to make a complete action plan and finally announced it. All participants were so tired that their faces turned gray and exhausted.

Fortunately, everyone is young and recovers quickly. After going back to sleep, the next morning, he became lively again.

Zhang Qian himself became energetic again because he found his direction of hard work. After waking up, he personally took action and visited the elders He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu. He asked them to go to the Yang family to match him.

He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu hoped that Zhang Qian's marriage would be settled as soon as possible, and immediately agreed happily. Then, the two went to the Yang family together, put down the letter of appointment and a pair of wild geese, completed the "recruitment", "asking for the name" and two gifts. They couldn't wait to send the birth dates and horoscopes of both men and women to Zhongnan Mountain and asked Taoist Sima Chengzhen to calculate whether it was consistent.

Sima Chengzhen originally had a good relationship with He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu. Among the people he didn't want to provoke in this life, Zhang Qian ranked in the top ten. Therefore, the calculation result was of course so suitable that it could not be more suitable. If Emperor Zhongzong had not just passed away and the people were banned from marriage within half a year, the old Taoist priests would have wished to go down the mountain and host the wedding for the men and women to benefit from the blessing!

After receiving the calculated results, Zhang Qian was very happy. He immediately sent someone to send a whole cart of groin red to Master Sima to show his gratitude. Then, taking advantage of the recent days of sunshine, he set up a complete set of founding county magistrates and special ceremonial guards, packed gifts in a carriage, and went to his future father-in-law's house, and officially determined the relationship between him and Yang Qingqing.

With the strength of the Hongnong Yang family and Zhang Qian's current status, the three rituals of "naive and picky" were completed in just three days, which was too hasty. However, considering the particularity of the national mourning period and the reality that Zhang Qian was about to go to the Western Regions, there was no one in Chang'an City saying this. (Note: The first three of the six rituals of marriage in ancient times were equivalent to getting engaged.)

However, when Zhang Qian finished his engagement and made time to go to the Military Equipment Supervisor, the Secretary and Si Tian Supervisor walked around each other and officially handed over three errands in the junior supervisors, many people immediately became restless.

The reason was nothing else. The simple hand-in-handling of a job and leaving a letter was actually played with new tricks by Zhang Qian intentionally or unintentionally! All the forces staring at him suddenly realized that Zhang Tejin not only had a glory in the army, but also had an unbelievable influence among the Beijing officials.

Zhang Qian's military weapon surveillance pioneered two important weapons: alcohol and black gunpowder, and also introduced patent bills for military weapon surveillance. The Secretary-General took the lead in compiling the "Primary School Dictionary" and officially launched the movable type printing technology. In Sitianjian, a purple-gold calendar was used to completely solve the problem of revision of the "Linde Calendar". The benefits brought to the three departments were all real.

Especially the Military Arts Supervisor and the Secretary Supervisor, the two Qingshui Yamen, which were originally so clean that no one was willing to come to work, but now they are all fat. The salary is never discounted, and there are also rewards of various names throughout the year. Therefore, it was confirmed that Zhang Shaojian would leave completely in the future, and the officials of the three departments were extremely reluctant to leave. When Zhang Qian came to hand over the seal, he spontaneously greeted him and sent him to him.

When Zhang Qian said goodbye to his colleagues from Military Vehicle, Secretary and Si Tian Sanjian, he "accidentally" expressed his worries about state affairs and his concern for the new king, which made all forces in the capital feel uncomfortable.

If Zhang Qian used the excuse of worrying about the safety of the new king or worrying about national affairs, he would not leave in Chang'an. Many conspiracies and open conspiracies would have no chance to be carried out.

After all, in the face of absolute military advantage, any open conspiracy or conspiracy will be crushed directly. And Zhang Qian is famous for not getting in. A few days ago, Princess Anle ran to the military camp in the middle of the night to win him over. The next day, Princess Anle's confidant servant was cut off halfway through the street by Marquis Liucheng under his command, which is a clear proof.

"Grandma, since he is overestimating his ability, don't blame him..." Several leading figures of forces were irritated and instinctively wanted to take action directly and take Zhang Qian down. However, after careful consideration, he was very helpless to find that he had no chance of winning when facing Zhang Qian alone.

If Zhang Qian fights both sides, he will only end up with the exit in the next fight. He will be a wedding dress for other parties for nothing!

At present, Zhang Qian did not have many soldiers around him, but looking at the capital, he would count all the left and right cavalry camps, left and right guards, and the government soldiers stationed in various parts of the capital. The only one who has the ability to compete with the Leye Army is probably the only one who is the champion general Wei Bo.

And the champion general Wei Bo not only has a low-key personality, but also has a life-long relationship with Zhang Qian.

Since returning to the capital, this person has almost never left his garrison, and has expressed his admiration for Zhang Qian on countless occasions. Unless the empress dowager personally gives him an order, it is probably harder for ordinary people to provoke him to compete with Zhang Qian than to directly assassinate Zhang Qian.

As for sending assassins to kill Zhang Qianyudao, no one has considered it. However, after considering it, he also chose to give up helplessly.

The reason is nothing else. Zhang Qian was too careful. Even if he went to pay homage to his future father-in-law, he would have at least one brother in the group. Not to mention looking for opportunities to assassinate, he would probably be scared by the murderous aura emitted by the more than 300 Hu Ben who had experienced bloody battles on the battlefield before he could get close to the range of the feather arrow.

However, what makes all forces feel a little relieved is that so far, Zhang Tejin's concerns about Xinjun and state affairs have only been verbally verbally and have not carried out any factual operations. Judging from Zhang Qian's two confidant junior brothers Guo Nu and Ren Cong's recent actions, the three brothers did not seem to have completely changed their minds, but have made some slight adjustments and delays in their departure from Beijing.

"Send someone to explore his words. What exactly does he want to do?" Soon, a smart leader guessed that Zhang Qian's concern for Xinjun was a guise. "If the price is not high, please satisfy him!"

"Are you young? It's normal for you to be greedy. What's more, he made such great achievements last year."

"Although the secretary, Si Tian and the military weapon three supervisors are not real power departments. After removing the three supervisors, the real power responsibilities were only given to him as the Minister of Personnel. It is indeed a bit unclear reward and punishment."

...

The "Kancheng of the Kingdom" who can have a force in the court did not react slowly. Soon, they made decisions and took gentle measures to try whether they could "coax" Zhang Qian away.

Almost at the same time, their respective spies also sent back the information in time. Zhang Tejin no longer continued to stay overnight in the military camp and thanked the guests in close proximity, but would return to the village in Weinan every night to rest.

In the past one or two days, the former subordinates who went to Xiao Zhangjiazhuang to greet Zhang Qian's New Year or see him off were almost all warmly entertained by him. Although the guests and guests did not dare to drink openly during the national funeral, the guests praised Zhang Tejin's dishes after they came back.

According to the news collected by the eyewitnesses, some of the seventh and eighth rank chief clerks who had worked with Zhang Qian in the past were shameless and recommended their relatives and friends to serve in the Western Protectorate. Zhang Qian did not even refute their face. He even made bold statements that the Western Regions are vast and a good place for men to show their skills. He would always come to all heroes who are willing to travel to the Western Regions for their country!

Based on these information, it is not difficult to conclude that the leaders of all forces are worried about the safety of the new king and the national affairs. The so-called worries about Zhang Qian deliberately thrown out by him. The real purpose is to feel that his previous asking price was too low and try to get another vote before leaving!

Since this is the case, it will be much easier to solve. Anyway, money, food, and supplies can be allocated from the treasury, and there is no need for all forces to pay out of their own pockets.

As for the official position, Zhang's only had a dozen onions, and he could not even fill the vacancy in the West Protectorate's Mansion. He could not bear to disperse these confidant generals elsewhere. In this way, the official position he asked for could only be a false position. The false position could only be a salary, and it could not play any role in the court. No matter how many it was given to him, what could it be?!
