"My son is prudent and self-aware. He can protect his people. I am relieved."

....

"Saint! A saint must make the decision for me! I don't have to be the leader of the Chu vassal, but my wife and children are really innocent. Why did Ma Xihe kill all the ministers in my family!"

Just after Zhang Yan announced the reform, the news about Ma Chu arrived. To be honest, Zhang Yan did not expect that this guy Ma Xi'e would be so ruthless.

Ma Xiguang actually did not fight with him. As a result, he raised troops and entered Tanzhou, and even killed Ma Xiguang's wife and two children.

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao actually felt a little guilty. It seemed that these things had nothing to do with him. After all, no one knew that the former King of Chu, Ma Xifan, would die of illness so quickly, let alone that Ma Xi'e would be so vicious.

From the eyes of others, it seems that Zhang Yan favored Ma Xiguang, so he left him to enjoy wealth and wealth in Tokyo.

After the Ma Chu Incident, Zhang Zhi, despite his busy schedule, continued to mobilize troops to prepare to escort Ma Xiguang back to Tanzhou to succeed him. It can be said that he acted very affectionately and righteously.

But Zhang Yan actually knew that, so he kept Ma Xiguang until now. He is responsible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but have a guilty look on his face.

However, Zhang Yan was immediately stunned again, because if he put it this way, if he did not keep Ma Xiguang for a period of time, according to the trend of history, it would not be that Ma Xiguang's one-wife son was killed, and even he himself could not escape death.

In this way, Zhang Yan saved Ma Xiguang's life again.

Ahem! Zhang Shengren's face immediately returned to normal, and then his face became full of anger.

"Ma Xi'e is a thief who has no loyalty as a subordinate. He wanted to see King Wu Mu (Ma Yin) save his life and spare his life.

But looking at it today, it is so ferocious and vicious, Depi still asks for my condolences, I will definitely avenge you and capture and kill this beast!"

Ma Xiguang left in tears, and Zhang Gao immediately summoned Zhang Huaiqing in.

After being sued by Pei Yuan, the old man was unwilling to leave Liangzhou. After all, he was used to living there. He walked to Chang'an and stopped for a few months, and finally joined a group of elders from various families in Liangzhou.

Arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo.

And they just arrived. They walked from Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture in Xijing to Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo for more than a year and a half.

Although Zhang Huaiqing was not afraid of anything, he was still a little bit shy about his grandnephew, because he always felt that Zhang Xi was unfamiliar and a little scary to him.

Looking at Zhang Yan, he didn't think he was his great-nephew, but he looked very much like Zhang Yichao, the second uncle of Emperor Huan Zuding who he had not seen a few times but had a deep impression on him.

"How many sons-in-law or grandson-in-laws does my uncle have?"

Faced with Zhang Gao's confused question, Zhang Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, and then Monk Zhanger answered in a low voice, confused.

"Back to the saint, I have eleven sons-in-law and twenty-four grandsons-in-law. Er, no, twenty-six."

Zhang Zhao was also speechless. He was truly a fertility machine of the Long Tongue Zhang family. He couldn't even remember how many grandsons and sons-in-law he had, and Zhang Zhao probably couldn't recognize them all.

"How many of them are no longer alive?" Zhang Hao continued to ask.

Zhang Huaiqing got a taste of it at this time. He looked at Zhang Xi and asked hesitantly: "The person who went out just now was Ma Xiguang from Ma Chu, right? I heard that he was a useless honest man, and his whole family was killed just now. A saint wouldn't

I want."

Zhang Gao nodded. Zhang Huaiqing was good at this and was very self-aware. He knew his role for Zhang Gao, which was to provide children and grandchildren, especially daughters and granddaughters, for Zhang Gao to get married.

So Zhang Shengren chuckled and said, "Uncle, can't you understand? Our Zhang family is now so rich, so when choosing a son-in-law, don't we have to choose someone who is stupid, uh, honest and has a lot of money?"

Zhang Huaiqing tasted it carefully and found that it was indeed true, so he thought for a while and said: "Twenty-three mothers are twenty-eight years old, gentle and graceful, maybe it can be done."

No! Zhang Hao waved his hand and refused, "Twenty-Sanniang is still young and is still a girl waiting to be married. Ma Xiguang is almost 40 years old. If it doesn't match her, it's better to change her."

Zhang Huaiqing was very willing and prepared to give up a beautiful sixteen-year-old unmarried granddaughter.

But Zhang Hao disagreed. It was originally a good thing, and there was no need to ruin the future of a young girl.

In this case, Zhang Huaiqing thought for a while and said, "The only one is Shiniang's sister Ba Niang. Her husband died in the battle outside Yanshi City the year before last, leaving behind three children. It is a perfect match for Ma Xiguang."

Shiniang was the daughter of Zhang Huaiqing, and she was married to Gao Yunquan, the former military governor of Yanzhou Zhangwu Army in the Later Jin Dynasty.

The Yanzhou Zhangwu Army was the first Central Plains vassal town conquered by Zhang Yan. Even the name of the Zhangwu Army is still there, and it is now called the Forbidden Army Zhangwu Town.

Banniang's husband was originally one of Zhang Xiu's personal guards in Hanshandu. Unfortunately, he died in the battle when Zhang Xiu was surrounded by Yelu Pode at the bank of Yangqu in Luoyang.

Ba Niang is only thirty-three years old now, so she cannot remain a widow all her life. Ma Xiguang is a coward and has no bad habits. It is just right for him to help Zhang Shengren's hero raise his son. It is very suitable!

"Okay! Uncle asked the eighth aunt to come to the palace, and I will tell her personally.

This Ma Xiguang, I am not going to let him return to Tanzhou. When the time comes, he will be granted the title of Prince of Changsha and lead the military governor of Wu'an from afar.

The wealth of Ma Chu State also allows him to keep one or two hundred thousand yuan and settle down in Luoyang."

Zhang Huaiqing was very happy when he heard this. Two hundred thousand guan was not a small amount. As long as Ma Xiguang was sensible, the betrothal gift could not be less than 5,000 guan or 10,000 guan.

He, Zhang Huaiqing, has many children and many places to spend money, which can meet his urgent needs.

"That's right! Uncle Thirteen doesn't have a settlement yet, right? In this way, I will also give Uncle Thirteen a settlement of one hundred households in Jingzhou.

My uncle has contributed a lot, but he still doesn’t have a title, so why not take the title of Changsong County in Liangzhou and make him Marquis of Changsong."

Zhang Zhou's title must first be hereditary, otherwise, the third generation will begin to decline, and he will become a commoner within a few generations.

Secondly, one must have a household. Those who do not have a household will actually not have much annuity, which means they have a high political status.

But a high political status requires civil and military talents to match it. For Zhang Huaiqing's group, their abilities are average, and the political significance of the title is really not very great. The only thing left is to make money.

The thirteenth uncle in Zhang's mouth was the son adopted by Zhang Huaiqing to the second Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Huaishen, the emperor of Zhang Zhouyingzuhuai.

Nanyang County Duke of the Zhang family also gave the thirteenth uncle, but Zhang Zhi did not give him any additional food.

But at this time, Zhang Yan had married off five or six of Zhang Huaiqing's daughters and granddaughters to recruit talents, so he shouldn't be too stingy.

Moreover, Zhang Huaiqing, as the highest ranking member of the Zhang family and the only one with the title "Huai", should be given a title.

After Zhang Huaiqing also went out, Zhang Zhi called the wild boar Luo Shande in angrily.

Luo Shande had just put an end to the rebellion in Haosi and Sizhou. Instigated by Liu Renzhan, the governor of Qinghuai Army in Shouzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the local wealthy families caused some trouble, which was all the sequelae of the confiscation of their fields.

Zhang Zhi then sent Luo Shande to lead three thousand left-handed Shenwei guards to help Gao Yunquan, the observation envoy of Haosi and Sizhou, quell the rebellion. He had just returned to Tokyo.

"Damn it! This bitch Ma Xi'e entered Tanzhou, and he actually dared to send troops to loot Tanzhou City!

Ma Chu's palace in Tanzhou was burned to ashes. All the gold, jewelry and jade accumulated by the two Chu kings, Ma Yin and Ma Xifan, were looted by the barbarians, with a loss of at least 600,000 to 800,000 gold.

This is my money! Ma Xihe is looting my money!"

Zhang Hao was so angry that his hair stood on end. He took two steps back and forth and said to Luo Shande.

"Immediately lead the left Shenwei Guard to escort Ma Xiguang south, and notify Ma Zhaoyuan (Ma Yaozi) by the way. In ten days, if there is no news from Lu Yan, then go straight to Jiangling City.

But we must be careful not to let the gold, silver, brocade and silk of the Gao family be looted, I am still waiting to use the money to reward the soldiers!"

In front of a confidant like Shanzhu'er, Zhang Gao did not hide his secrets. He was heartbroken to death when he thought that all the treasures of the Machu Palace had been looted.

From the perspective of Zhang Shengren, who was now almost impoverished, the treasures in the Machu Palace were already his.

"I obey! Saint, please calm down. I will definitely lead the left Shenwei guards to persuade the barbarians in Xidong, Langzhou to hand over the treasures they plundered."

Shanzhuer Luo Shande is very wise. He understands what Zhang Yan means. How much loss can be recovered.
