Volume 40 Chapter 15

phone-reading

Before the two flying boats flew to Golden Crow City, Zhang Tie had already completed the first meeting and communication with the elders of Huaiyuan Hall and Zhang Taixuan. △,

This meeting and communication is very necessary for both Zhang Tie and Huaiyuantang. The whole meeting and communication confirmed three things. The first thing is Zhang Tie's real identity, and the second thing is Zhang Tie or the Golden Crow The status of the Zhang family lineage in the Huaiyuan Hall, the third matter is a major event related to Zhang Tie and Huaiyuan Hall at the same time - all the elders of the Huaiyuan Hall and Zhang Tie agreed that after the new year, the first month After that, in the spring of next year, Huaiyuan Hall will formally hold the second transfer ceremony for Zhang Tie.

This transfer to the Canon will be announced to the world, and at the same time officially rectify Zhang Tie's name.

All the elders of Huaiyuan Hall could already foresee the shock that Zhang Tie’s second transfer ceremony would bring to all parties. This grand ceremony is almost a month away from now, and it seems that the time of more than one month is still too long. A little too much, but the time is actually very tight for preparing such a transfer ceremony, which is unprecedented in scale for the entire Huaiyuan Hall.

Originally, when Zhang Taixuan advanced to the rank of Earth Knight, Huaiyuantang could prepare to transfer to the Canon, but because Zhang Taixuan was already the governor of Youzhou at that time, according to the Taixia law, all officials above the ninth rank in Taixia were not allowed to enter the imperial court during their tenure. Any celebrations in their own name, officials' birthdays, housewarmings, promotions, births, concubines, and wheel-running ceremonies and banquets are all strictly prohibited. On other days, it is not allowed to celebrate Zhang Yang wantonly. Although officials at all levels below the ninth rank are a little more relaxed, they are also restricted. For this reason, Huaiyuan Hall did not organize the transfer ceremony for Zhang Taixuan.

Zhang Tie naturally did not have this restriction. At the same time, Huaiyuantang also hoped that through this conversion ceremony, the haze that had weighed on Huaiyuantang in the past few years would be washed away.

When it was less than 500 kilometers away from Golden Crow City, Zhang Tie flew from the deck of the flying boat in Huaiyuan Hall under the snowstorm and was escorted by a group of elders, and flew directly to the Golden Crow.

Zhang Tieyi flew to the Golden Crow. The flying boat in Huaiyuantang turned in one direction and flew towards Youzhou City. Zhang Taixuan and all the elders knew that Zhang Tie was anxious to go home and reunite with his family. hate.

On the deck of the Golden Crow airship, Zhang Yang, Bai Suxian, and Zhang Gui were all waiting for Zhang Tie to come back. This short period of time. Zhang Yang has already met Bai Suxian and Zhang Gui. Zhang Gui regards himself as Zhang Tie's servant. The three of them quickly became acquainted.

"How is it?" Seeing Zhang Tie coming back, Zhang Yang was the first to ask.

"Let's go in and talk about it!" Zhang Tie smiled, and at the same time raised his right hand—at this moment. On Zhang Tie's right hand, there is another remote sensing ring that looks antique. This ring is a ring, in two opposite directions of the ring,

At the same time, there are two small extreme remote sensing crystals inlaid. These two remote sensing crystals can allow Zhang Tie to contact Huaiyuantang and Zhang Taixuan at the same time. Five years after coming to Taixia, the remote sensing rings worn by the elders of Huaiyuantang also Promoted a level. In the past, only one remote sensing crystal could be integrated on the ring, but now, two remote sensing crystals can be integrated on the ring.

"Okay, let's go in and talk!" Zhang Yang nodded.

The four returned to the cabin of the flying boat, with Zhang Yang walking in the front. Take Zhang Tie to his study on the flying boat.

Zhang Tie and the others walked in, but Zhang Gui didn't come in when he came to the study, but kept guard outside the door, like a loyal dog.

"Zhang Gui, come in and listen too. You will work in the Zhang family in the future, and there are some things you should know!"

"yes!"

Hearing Zhang Tie calling him, Zhang Gui walked into the study. Zhang Tie and the three of them were sitting, but Zhang Gui was determined not to sit, and stood beside Zhang Tie.

Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie nodded. Naturally, the tacit understanding between the two brothers does not need to be said. As a result, Zhang Gui's position in the Zhang family has been confirmed, and Zhang Tie's ability has once again made Zhang Yang's heart I was so impressed.

In front of several people, Zhang Tie recounted what he had just discussed with the elders of Huaiyuan Hall. When he heard that Zhang Taixuan was going to give up the position of patriarch to Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang frowned all of a sudden. , Bai Suxian also showed a thoughtful look.

"Did you not promise him?"

"The position of the patriarch of Huaiyuantang is not attractive to me at all. I rejected it in public, and I said nothing. Anyone who wants me to be the patriarch again just wants to force me out of Huaiyuantang. Zhang Taixuan didn't say any more!" Zhang Tie rubbed the elder Huaiyuantang ring on his hand, and was also a little puzzled, "I don't know why Zhang Taixuan suddenly had this idea. To be honest, I was a little surprised when he said it!"

"With the current power of our Zhang family, it doesn't matter if the patriarch takes the position!" Zhang Yang thought carefully before opening his mouth carefully, "You and I are the only members of this generation in our family. They are all underage, and all my energy is on the Golden Crow Merchant Group. Even if you become the patriarch, you will have no one under your command, and our family has no way to hold Huaiyuantang in your hands. This patriarch is also in name only. I really want this position, maybe after Chengze and the others spread out, our grandchildren will be able to take charge of Huaiyuan Hall and be able to do things, it will be interesting for you to sit as the patriarch, maybe seeing you come back, already Today is not what it used to be, it is inevitable that Huaiyuan Hall will order two sects in the future, and Zhang Taixuan deliberately made such a high profile, let the elders express their opinion to you!"

Zhang Tie glanced at his elder brother, but he hadn't seen him for a few years. After countless experiences, his elder brother had unknowingly become more domineering. In the past, the two brothers would feel terrified when they saw a family elder. Now the elder brother said Huaiyuantang The position of the patriarch's throne is also as plain as water, with no ups and downs in tone, just like talking about an ordinary business.

Speaking of which, my interest and ambition in the so-called power since I was a child may not be as good as my brother...

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Tie nodded, "Well... I thought so too!"

"Huaiyuantang is only one county in Youzhou now, and the city is only ten, and it is not necessarily bigger than Zhulongling. This patriarch is just an earl in terms of title. Regardless of the title of the city, if you want it, why do you need others to give it to you?" As for you, based on your achievements in killing the demons in the Earth Element Realm, wait until the time when the Tianji Ranking is released and you can be awarded a title. It is very easy to earn a title. If you want a city, if you go to the southern border, how many do we want to build? You can build as many as you want, and you can build as big as you want, and you don't need to look at other people's faces, who cares about a few cities and an earl, making it seem like a great kindness..."

Compared with Zhang Yang. Bai Suxian's tone became a little more dissatisfied. The eyes of the princess of Guangnan Wangfu really didn't like the little things that Zhang Taixuan gave up to Zhang Tie as the patriarch. From Bai Suxian's point of view at this moment, she is like a new daughter-in-law coming home with her uncle for the first time, and her in-laws haven't seen each other yet, and she sees the elders of the uncle's family presenting their property in front of their man to make him express his opinion. She was afraid that if she came, her man would get more points if he had a backer, which naturally made her very upset.

Different standpoints. Different conclusions about the same thing.

The two brothers Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie glanced at each other, Zhang Yang smiled slightly, and conveyed a message to Zhang Tie with his eyes - it may not be easy for you to find this daughter-in-law.

Zhang Tie also returned a message to Zhang Yang with his eyes—don't worry, I can cover him.

Zhang Yang glanced at Zhang Gui who was next to Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie understood what his brother meant. All of a sudden, he turned his head to look at Zhang Gui, "Zhang Gui, what do you want to say?"

"The master first forgives the old slave for being rude, so the old slave dares to say it!"

In front of Zhang Yang and Bai Suxian, Zhang Gui no longer concealed his identity. He directly regarded himself as Zhang Tie's servant.

"It's okay, there are only four people here, everyone discusses the matter, if you have any ideas, just say it!" Zhang Tie waved his hand.

"Yes, that old slave is being presumptuous!" Zhang Gui bowed to Zhang Tie first, straightened his waist, and then said slowly with narrowed eyes, "In my opinion, Zhang Taixuan, the patriarch of Huaiyuantang, just wanted to give up the position of patriarch to Zhang Tie. My lord, you are really killing two birds with one stone, and you have evil intentions!"

As soon as Zhang Gui said this, the temperature in the study suddenly dropped several degrees. Zhang Tie also squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Gui. He couldn't see any joy or anger, but asked in a flat voice, "Why are you so angry?" Say?"

"If the master takes over as the patriarch of the Huaiyuantang family, and the master inherits the earth-shattering secret technique, is he considered to belong to Huaiyuantang or the master's family? This can't be justified anywhere, and there is a suspicion of contempt for the same family and self-preservation. There must be criticism in the Huaiyuan Hall. There is fear and obedience. If the master takes over the position of the patriarch and does not pass on a secret method, as long as someone secretly instigates it, the greed of the people will make this fear and resentment turn into hatred and dissatisfaction. It won’t last long, and there will be some hidden dangers!”

"If the master leaves a body of secret techniques in the Huaiyuan hall, someone can obtain these things without any effort. The master may gain a good reputation in the Huaiyuan hall, but he will lose his greatest strength in the troubled times. Even if you get a good reputation, as the young master said just now, the current descendants of the master's family are not prosperous enough, the direct line of the Golden Crow City can't completely control the Huaiyuan Hall, and the secret method passed down by the master, in the end, what you get in exchange is only a vain name. The position of patriarch is nothing but the gain outweighs the loss, and if the master's secret method is spread in Huaiyuan Hall, the biggest beneficiary will be the Yiyang City lineage with the largest number of descendants. In the future, when the Yiyang City lineage grows stronger, If there are a few talents from heaven, whether the master's direct lineage can take over the position of patriarch is still in doubt, and this is only one of them!"

"What about the second?" Zhang Tieyouyou asked.

"Secondly, if the master declares in public that he will not take over the position of patriarch, then the master will no longer threaten Zhang Taixuan in the Huaiyuan hall. The master is a gentleman. Naturally, a gentleman cannot live up to his words in front of the elders of the Huaiyuan hall. If there is any dissatisfaction with the position of patriarch, he is a villain who is greedy for power and reneges his promise, how can a villain win the trust of others, the world, and Huaiyuantang, how can he be qualified to sit as the patriarch of Huaiyuantang!"

"So, Zhang Taixuan gave up the position of patriarch to the master today, no matter whether the master agrees or not, Zhang Taixuan's calculation of killing two birds with one stone will at least hit one bird and achieve one of his goals, and the other bird can be slowly figured out. Whether it is the master secret method or the power of the patriarch of Huaiyuantang, it is not trivial. For the power of the secret method, the tragedies of killing each other between the same clan, the same clan, and even father and son brothers are staged in different places in Taixia every day. People can use any means for these two things, so there are no scruples."

"Of course, this is just the old slave's point of view. The old slave has been used to all kinds of despicable tricks and schemes of ghosts and monsters in his life. He has always treated people with the worst heart and never knows what kindness is. The old slave used to be with Zhang Taixuan. He has no contacts and knows little about him. Perhaps Earl Changfeng is also a modest gentleman who wholeheartedly seeks the welfare of Huaiyuan Hall and admires his master very much. It is the old slave who wrongly blames him for judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

After Zhang Gui said these words, the entire study room fell silent, even Zhang Yang and Bai Suxian stared at Zhang Gui with wide eyes, wondering where Zhang Tie found such a character. What Zhang Gui said just now was full of blood, every sentence was heartbreaking, and it made people shudder. After he finished speaking, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

When Zhang Gui was speaking, Zhang Tie looked at Zhang Gui with sharper and sharper eyes, digging his heart out. It wasn't until Zhang Gui finished speaking that Zhang Tie closed his eyes and said nothing. The room was quiet for a while. After more than ten seconds, Zhang Tie opened his eyes, and his eyes and voice had regained their calmness.

"Earl Changfeng, as the patriarch of the Huaiyuan Hall, is impartial and selfless. He is the mainstay of Huaiyuan Hall and is admired by all. What was said in the room today is disrespectful to Earl Changfeng. I don't want anyone else to hear it. !"

"Yes, the old servant just got dizzy and was talking nonsense, and he didn't know what he said!" Zhang Gui responded without any excuse or dissatisfaction. After arriving behind Zhang Tie, he lowered his gaze.

Zhang Tie pondered for a while, and then said to his elder brother, "In the future, we will set up a foreign affairs room in Zhang's house, and let Zhang Gui be the head of the foreign affairs room at home. Everyone at home and outside will watch a little bit, and we can rest assured when doing things outside. Brother, you can arrange it in your hands..."

Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Gui again, and nodded slowly...

There are some things that naturally don't need to be said too clearly.

It's just the time of talking, the Flying Boat has already flown to Golden Crow City... (to be continued...)
