Chapter 744 Old Ancestor, Am I Right?
When leaving from Shen Yiguan, Xu Wenbi did not go home, but returned to Zhang Weixian's home under the protection of Shen Yiguan's people. Under the arrangement of Zhang Weixian's trusted servants, Xu Wenbi met Zhang Weixian smoothly.

And showed Zhang Weixian the letter.

Zhang Weixian's initial reaction was the same as Xu Wenbi's. He was completely stunned, motionless like a stone sculpture, and it took him a while to react.

"This is real?"

Xu Wenbi hesitated and said: "I can't believe it. Xiao Ruxun has been a famous general for generations, and his family has guarded the northwest frontier for generations. He has always been loyal and dedicated to fighting for the country. Such a family tradition, how could he do such a thing? This is too much. Unbelievable."

Zhang Weixian swallowed.

"But no matter what, it seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to let Xiao Ruxun take over the capital camp. The so-called removal of Shen Li to keep me is just an excuse. He wants me to resign myself, and he doesn't want me to know the reason, lest trouble."

Zhang Weixian felt extremely disappointed: "After a hundred years of ancestor's great contribution, it is inevitable to fall to this point. The holy family is no longer there. Once I give up the military power in my hand, I still understand the reason why people are swords and I am fish and meat."

Xu Wenbi also sighed.

"It's over, what else can we do?"

"What does Shen Yiguan mean? If this matter happens, Xiao Ruxun will be in charge of the Beijing camp, and Xiao Ruxun will tell the emperor the real situation of the capital camp. Against civil and military forces, can the emperor really do it?"

Xu Wenbi looked embarrassed.

"No one knows what your majesty means, but what Shen Yitong means is to get rid of Xiao Ruxun, so that your majesty will no longer have that thought, and everyone will be safe and sound. He will be his emperor, and we will be our ministers."

"If we do that kind of thing, unless Xiao Ruxun really wants to rebel, won't we become traitors? Xiao Ruxun has a high reputation among the people, so killing him suddenly...Shen is always not afraid of criticism from the world?"

Zhang Weixian showed a look of hesitation: "My Zhang family has been a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty for generations. This is the foundation of my family. Without this foundation, what is the British Zhang family? What am I? , that is the same as killing the clan!"

"But once the Beijing camp incident happens, we can't escape either!"

Xu Wenbi frowned: "Regardless of whether what Shen Yiguan said is true or not, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, only this point is true. Once the incident happens, you, me, Cheng Guogong, and all the honored officials in the capital will Gui and more than half of the courtiers will be implicated. By that time, how angry the emperor will be!

Yinggong, you have to think clearly, once Xiao Ruxun comes back and takes control of the military power in the capital, the entire capital will be under his control, people are swords and we are fish, you are very clear about what you said, Shen Yiguan has already told him what he meant We have, we mean, have to tell him tomorrow. "

Zhang Weixian closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"Xiao Ruxun dared to tell the emperor such a thing. He actually told the emperor. Could it be that he was plotting something wrong? If not, what was he trying to do? He didn't know that he was fighting against the power of the civil and military officials and gentry all over the world. ? Is he going to turn the world upside down? Does he think he can change the whole world with one person and one army?"

Xu Wenbi was also full of confusion.

"Every time I think of this, I can't help but wonder, if he really didn't want to rebel, how could he do such a thing? Could Xiao Wenkui's tutor teach a general with the world in mind? Isn't this the absurdity of the world? ?How can this be?"

"If it wasn't for this, then Xiao Ruxun really wanted to rebel and usurp the throne?"

Zhang Weixian looked at Xu Wenbi.

Xu Wenbi also looked at Zhang Weixian.

"Whether it is or not, Yinggong, you have to make up your mind. Only the two of us know about this matter, and no one else can tell it. Unless something really happens, if the news leaks out, you and I will die without a place to die. "

Zhang Weixian stood up and walked back and forth in the study.

Xu Wenbi sat on a chair, watching Zhang Weixian walking up and down in the study.

"There was a time when people were swords and I was fish and meat. It was more than a hundred years ago when Tumubao was in Tumubao. But at that time, the ancestors faced Yu Qian. Yu Qian was a civil servant. He didn't wait for me. Dare to lay hands on me, not even Zhang Juzheng, since the Ming dynasty is here, they dare not act presumptuously."

Xu Wenbi knew Zhang Weixian's decision.

"However, if it were a military general holding a killing knife, the result would be very different. Our lives are in danger. Shen Yiguan is a civil servant."

Zhang Weixian looked at Xu Wenbi: "Mr. Ding, please reply to Shen Yiguan. I want him to promise that everything will remain the same afterwards. He can do it. Let's... let's just... just listen to him and let him tell me what to do next. Do."

Xu Wenbi stood up and nodded.

"Okay, I get it, it's good that you can make this decision, there are so many of us, there is always a backbone."

After Xu Wenbi finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Zhang Weixian after he had just walked a few steps.

"Ding Gong!"

Xu Wenbi turned around and looked at Zhang Weixian.

"Xiao Ruxun...does he really want to rebel?"

Xu Wenbi blinked his eyes.

"Yinggong, when is this? When the knife rests on his neck, does it matter whether he wants to rebel? Yinggong, there is no need for this!"

Seeing Xu Wenbi gnashing his teeth, Zhang Weixian was taken aback.

"Yes... yes, it's not important, it's not important at all, Mr. Ding, you... go find Shen Yiguan!"

Xu Wenbi shook his head, turned around and left.

Zhang Weixian watched Xu Wenbi leave, and then slowly sat in his seat.

Xungui has been kept in captivity by civil servants for a long time, and he has already fallen into the trap. For so many years, Xungui and a considerable number of civil servants are symbiotic. It's not good. Everyone has a tacit understanding on this point.

The emperor is the only variable. When the emperor is safe, hello everyone. When the emperor is not, everyone is in danger.

Right now, it is a very special moment. The emperor's actions are not limited to writing on paper, but have progressed to a very terrible situation, a situation that threatens everyone's life!
With the dim candlelight, he raised his head and looked at the two portraits on the wall to his right. The two portraits became the talisman and wealth support for the descendants of the Zhang family.

One is a portrait of Zhang Yu, king of Hejian, and the other is a portrait of Zhang Fu, the first British prince.

"Grandfather, am I doing the right thing?"

Looking at the heroic ancestors on the two portraits, Zhang Weixian fell into deep thought.

When Zhang Weixian was at a loss, time did not stop flowing. Xiao Ruxun, who was far away in the Datong Shahukou camp, finally waited for the imperial edict to recall the meritorious soldiers to return to Beijing to participate in the prisoner offering ceremony.
