Those from the Cao family, the Yin family, the Luo family, good guys, and even the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Yan took a closer look and found that fortunately he was not from his lineage, the Zhang family, but from the Zhang family in Guzang, the descendants of Zhang Gui in Houliang in the past.
During the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Wenche, the prime minister of Zhang Zang's father, the white-clothed emperor Zhang Chengfeng, was from the Zhang family.
Zhang Yan took out the list and compared it one by one. It was quite complete. Except for his own maternal ancestor, the Song family, no one participated. It can be said that everyone in the Lao Guiyi Army had someone on the list.
Zhang Yan thought that his uncle Song Shantong would also participate. After all, Song Shantong was originally Zuo Changshi of the King of Han's family, equivalent to the current Shangshu Ling.
As a result, I couldn't keep up step by step, and I could only retreat to the second line before I turned fifty. My resentment was so strong that it could almost solidify.
Dong Shaojian stood beside Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "Anyang County Duke wrote a personal letter to the saint. The letter said that the son of the Song family had also made a lot of money in the Hexi Chamber of Commerce. Hearing that the country was short of funds, he was willing to donate 50,000 yuan.
.”
Sure enough, the old ginger is still hot! It seems that the Song family was also involved, but at the most critical moment, my grandfather Song Tongyi held him back. Anyang County Duke was the title of my grandfather.
It's just that my grandfather is already seventy-seven years old, and his uncles are all short-sighted.
How shallow is this? Even Zhang Zhi's biological mother, the empress dowager Song, was reluctant to associate with her brothers. Opening her mouth was like an official's hat, shutting up was like a money bag, and her foul mouth could kill people.
"I wrote back to my grandfather and said that I had accepted the 50,000 guan, but my grandfather's birthday was approaching and I was far away in Chengde Mansion and could not go there to celebrate his birthday. So I used the 50,000 guan to buy some shops and farms in Shendu and build a business.
Used by my grandfather for his retirement.
I heard that Xiaoerlang, Wulang, and Jiulang of the Song family are very intelligent and have good conduct. I asked my grandfather to send them to Tokyo to study with my sons."
The Song family still has to use it. Although the uncles are shallow and the seven or eight cousins are not very capable, they can only be sixth or seventh grade officials. However, the fourth generation of the Song family still has a few good seedlings. Let’s cultivate them.
It can still be used in the future.
"Forget it, I'll write it in my own hand. It won't be good if grandpa gets the wrong idea and gets scared."
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said, "That's the only bad thing about thoughtful people. They tend to think too much. If Zhang Hao casually asks someone to reply to a letter, what if his grandfather thinks too much and scares the almost eighty-year-old old man out of his skin?"
The sin is great.
However, Zhang Shengren's gentleness was only shown to the Song family a little bit, but he was not so gentle to other people, to be precise, the other old guys from the Guiyi Army.
It can be said that these old guys have always been a thorn in Zhang Gao's heart.
In the past, they forced Zhang Chengfeng to step down. The existence of this original sin meant that although they were from the rebel army, it was difficult for them to trust and convince Zhang Xi, and Zhang Xi could not trust them.
At the same time, these people have been living in the two states of Guasha for a long time, and what they generally show is that they have short-sightedness.
They have no interest in reviving the dynasty or stabilizing the world. They are more and more active in making money and power. Not to mention ordinary people, they even dare to collect Zhang Zhi's wool.
It can be said that there are very few talented people like my grandfather Song Tongyi, Cao Yuanzhong, Murong Guiying, and Luo Tongda.
What's more important is that as long as they are around, there will always be a thorn between the new generation of Gui Yijun and Zhang Yan.
Let's just say they are close. They are indeed close. We have all been married within three generations, but we cannot be completely close because their ancestors and fathers were technically guilty of original sin.
Now we only need to take this opportunity to kill and depose these old guys so that they will no longer appear on the political stage. After they have basically died in ten or eight years, the new generation of descendants of the Guiyi Army can regain their relationship with the Yijun Army.
Zhang Hao became intimate.
Of course, the biggest gain is in terms of money. After this group of people were defeated, the wealth they accumulated will belong to Zhang Yan.
Hexi Chamber of Commerce! If you think about it, you will know how rich it would be. At least three to four million guan would be no problem. After that, the court's taxes could be tens of millions of guan every year.
And the money was legitimately taken, because this was not a house raid, but Zhang Gao getting back the part that had been embezzled by these people.
At the same time, after their fall, the environment on the Hexi Commercial Road can be greatly improved. The burden on the merchants has been reduced and their confidence has increased.
"Those related to Cao Renzun, Yin Yuande, and Shi Chongmin will all be locked up. Anyone who participates in the slightest will be severely punished in accordance with the law. The rest will be dealt with as appropriate, and Pei Yuan and Cao Yuanzhen will be responsible.
The Hexi Chamber of Commerce asked Cao Wanjin to investigate himself immediately and report directly to me."
Dong Shaojian looked at Zhang Yan with admiration. Cao Yuanzhen was the best among Cao Jiayuan's generation, except for the patriarch Cao Yuanzhong, and he was also a member of Xicao in Sogdiana.
His participation can prevent Pei Yuan and others from turning this incident into a purge of the entire Guiyi Army faction, and can also calm the minds of the generals and generals of the Guiyi Army faction in the army.
Letting Cao Wanjin investigate himself would be a quick move. Judging from the current situation, Cao Wanjin and Kang Jinshan are definitely guilty and have a lot of corruption, but they did not participate in the rebellion and can be saved.
Now, in order to save themselves, Cao Wanjin and others may be more ruthless in self-examination than being investigated by others. If they can hand over more than 3 million guan, the emperor may allow them to keep tens of thousands guan to live out their old age.
After arranging for others, Zhang Yan also stood up suddenly. He also had to calm down the morale of the army. After all, among the tens of thousands of people around him, there were many athletes from Guasha and Shazhou.
Although most of the sons and grandsons of those who rebelled this time were not outstanding, this is inevitable. If the sons and grandsons were capable and trusted by the emperor, there would be no need for them to rebel.
However, Zhang Hao still had to come forward, and the Guiyi Army faction could not be completely collapsed because of this incident.
In political struggles, adding insult to injury is a basic operation. If Zhang Yan escalates the matter out of anger, Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou and other faction members will definitely be very happy and even add fuel to the fire.
However, the core factions of Zhang Shengren are still the Guasha Guiyi Army Faction and the Lianglan Liugu Faction, which are deeply bound to the Yuan Cong Faction.
The Guasha Guiyi Army Faction is about to fall, and the Donggui Faction is too small in number. Only the Lianglan Liugu Faction is left among the Helong Xungui, and it is Zhang Xuan's foundation that is shaken.
Therefore, this attack must be narrow in scope, but the intensity of the strike must be ruthless. It is up to me, Zhang Shengren, to determine this intensity myself.
....
Tokyo, Kaifeng Prefecture, under the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City.
At dawn, Shi Chonggui rode a green donkey and, under the guidance of his son Shi Yanxu, ran to Xuanwu Gate.
And behind Shi Chonggui, the rest of his children, wives and concubines also followed behind.
Shi Chonggui was quite satisfied with his life in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo for more than a year. Although the emperor asked him to stand guard at the city gate to atone for his sins, he actually did not force him to go or not, and his salary was also paid as usual.
And not only was he given a share, but his three sons were also given a share, and they were all given according to the standard of the imperial army.
For an ordinary family, one forbidden army officer can almost support the whole family. Shi Chonggui's family has three. Although they cannot become rich or wealthy, their small wealth is still guaranteed.
Therefore, Shi Chonggui was happy to spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, and he was able to live freely at home, having enough food and wine.
To be fair, Shi Chonggui never thought that he could be emperor for a few years. His only dream was to be a military envoy within the government, which would be pretty good.
When Shi Jingtang successfully entered Luoyang, Shi Chonggui's ambition was pushed forward step by step, and his two years of hellish life in Huanglong Mansion finally brought him back to earth.
Until he could return to Tokyo, which he had always dreamed of returning to, Shi Chonggui suddenly discovered that the life of a rich man was really suitable for him.
There is no need to think about anything, no need to worry about anything, just eat and drink every day.
After the desire and ambition disappeared from him, Shi Chonggui, who had calmed down, actually had a pretty good IQ, otherwise he would not have been favored by Shi Jingtang and adopted as his adopted son.
Ever since the emperor went to Guanzhong and Pei Yuan seemed to have great power, Shi Chonggui was very afraid, because he knew that if anyone rose up to cause trouble, he, Shi Chonggui, would be a flag.
Therefore, in the past year, the wooden door of his house has never been closed. Even if it was stolen several times by thieves, Shi Chonggui insisted on opening it day and night so that others could see what Shi Chonggui was doing at a glance.
When the news of the turmoil in Luoyang came, Shi Chonggui was so distraught that he went to stay at Xuanwu Gate every day at dawn, sometimes even staying at night. Yesterday, his body couldn't bear it anymore, so he went back to rest for a while.
But today, Shi Chonggui found that he had a lot of companions.
For a short while, the sound of the horse Herod was heard. Li Congyi, the youngest son of Emperor Mingzong of the later Tang Dynasty and the adopted son of the emperor of this dynasty, Duke of Jinyang, almost rolled off his horse until he saw the huge plaque of Xuanwu Gate.
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other awkwardly, but before they could say hello, footsteps sounded more intensively.
Shi Chonggui stood on tiptoe and took a look. Good guy, he should be the lord of Meng Shu. Ah no, Meng Chang, now named Marquis of Longgang, was bringing his whole family.
No, it must have been Meng Chang's mother, Li, who dragged Meng Chang over.
I, Lord Meng, am much fatter than I was in Shu, and I still smell of alcohol. Why am I drinking so much this morning?
Meng Chang actually had a hard time saying that since Emperor Zhang left Tokyo, his mother Li and Princess Fuxing began to drink from him.
That's true. The old and strong Princess Fuxing urges Meng Chang every day. Princess Fuxing will get started if he doesn't get drunk.
Similarly, when the Luoyang Incident was reported, Princess Fuxing felt that it was no longer safe to get Meng Chang drunk, so she took him directly to Xuanwu's sect.
