Late at night, outside the door of Zhang's mansion.

The night was dark and the wind was high, Su Huai'er was outside the door of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Zhen also came back from work, and when he arrived at the door, he saw where Su Huai'er was standing tremblingly, he hurriedly walked over and took off his armor outside and put it on Su Huai'er's body.

After Qi Jun left Liu's house, Su Huai'er stayed in Liu's house for a long time, she knew that she couldn't stay here for a long time, she needed to find a safe place.

In this Yingqiu City, only Zhang's Mansion was the safest for her, so she came to Zhang's Mansion, but she didn't dare to go in, so she could only wander around outside Zhang's Mansion alone.

And the doorman of Zhang's Mansion also stared at her for a long time, thinking that she might be a thief, in fact, after a while, if this Su Huai'er didn't leave, the doorman of Zhang's Mansion might come forward and arrest this Su Huai'er.

But fortunately, Zhang Zhen came: "It's so cold, why don't you go in?" ”

"You protect me like this, aren't you afraid of being implicated? And I also have the flesh and blood of the Liu family in my belly! Su Huai'er said to Zhang Zhen.

It has been a while since he married the Liu family, and it is actually normal to have the flesh and blood of the Liu family, and Zhang Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then thought that Su Huai'er had been married to the Liu family for a long time, and it was normal to have the flesh and blood of the Liu family, so he said flatly: "It doesn't matter." ”

"Don't worry, this Kong Qian can stay, and you, a weak woman who has nothing to do with rebellion, why can't you stay?" Zhang Zhen said to Su Huai'er.

"Don't you mind the baby in my belly? If you want to kill the child, I'd rather be killed by the Qi army! Su Huai'er wants to keep her son in her belly, after all, she and Liu Bo have feelings, and she wants to leave a bloodline for the Liu family.

The Liu family was arrested except for her, and the end of this arrest was basically a dead end.

"If you really want to give birth, give birth, this child recognizes me as a father!" Zhang Zhen said to Su Huai'er.

Su Huai'er looked at Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen's eyes looked directly at Su Huai'er, and he put his hand around Su Huai'er's waist: "Let's go in!" ”

Su Huai'er nodded, and followed Zhang Zhen into Zhang's Mansion, and after entering Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Tianshang saw his son, and he glared at Zhang Zhen angrily.

"Father!" As soon as Zhang Zhen shouted, this heavenly slap slapped Zhang Zhen in the face: "Son, son, you did not hesitate to commit the great crime of harboring and rebelling for the sake of a woman!" ”

"Father, Huai'er is just an ordinary woman, how can it have anything to do with rebellion?" Zhang Zhen defended Su Huai'er.

"She is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and the Liu family is the leader of the rebellion, do you say it has nothing to do with her?" Zhang Tianshang looked at Zhang Zhen and said.

Zhang Tianshang then looked at Su Huai'er behind Zhang Zhen: "It's not too late to arrest him now!" ”

"Someone's coming!" Zhang Tianshang gave an order, only to see that the soldiers of Zhang's Mansion stood up, and Zhang Zhen shouted: "Who dares? ”

"Take it for me!" Zhang Tianshang ordered again.

But no one dares to go up, after all, this Zhang Zhen is Zhang Tianshang's son, this is a father-son fight, no matter how much resentment the two sides have, but they will never kill each other, they will hurt Zhang Zhen at this time, and Zhang Zhen will retaliate against them in the future, then they will die unjustly,

"Father, Kong Qian can survive, why can't she, a woman who has nothing to do with the rebellion, survive?" Zhang Zhen looked at Zhang Tianshang and asked.

"Can she be the same as Kong Qian? Kong Qian: That's guilty and meritorious! Zhang Tianshang said to Zhang Zhen.

"Father, you will definitely be able to save Su Huai'er, and the son is not small, I want to marry Su Huai'er as my wife!" Zhang Zhen said to Zhang Tianshang.

And Zhang Tianshang was even more angry when he heard it, you are the son of Chao Shangqing, what kind of famous family, eldest lady, you can choose, you are good, you want to marry a woman born as a geisha, even if you forget it, you still marry a second-hand.

Where will he put his old face in the sky?

What's more, the suppression of the great families is so powerful now, if he marries a certain official with a thin blood in the court, he will have a certain status in the Zhang family among the new nobles in the future.

The old aristocracy is at the end, but the new aristocracy is gradually emerging, but the new aristocracy is generally not as prosperous as the old aristocracy, because the hereditary official system is abolished, and the new aristocracy may only be brilliant for a while, as long as the family talents wither, or no longer as officials, then the status of the nobility will not be guaranteed.

This is also the only way Qi Xiaobai can do, if he pushes the imperial examination system, with the examination results, to arrange officials, I am afraid that he will be the enemy of everyone in the court, after all, they can also nominate people to win over people, although this reform has been opposed by the old aristocracy and big families, but the small officials in the court, small families, or officials with weak pulses support.

Because they felt that this was an opportunity to pull the big nobles into the water and improve their status......

Of course, the imperial examination system also has great drawbacks, and I don't know what the topic of the imperial examination system should be, if it is based on the Confucian Eight Strands, then the future of the court may be a bunch of useless scholars.

Therefore, when Qi Xiaobai really wants to recommend the imperial examination system in the future, he will think deeply, and the topic will also be carefully considered!

"Father, if you don't agree, then you can kill me!" Zhang Zhen shouted to Zhang Tianshang.

Zhang Tianshang pulled out his sword: "I'll kill a son!" At this time, the soldiers all moved and stopped Zhang Tianshang: "Master, rest the anger, the lord, the rest of the anger, this is your son!" ”

These soldiers and servants are really afraid that Zhang Zhen will be killed, after all, after killing Zhang Zhen, Zhang Tianshang may be comfortable for a while, but he will definitely be depressed in the future, and he will definitely go crazy when the time comes, and it will be them who will suffer......

After being stopped by the soldiers, Zhang Tianshang gave up, but he still glared at Zhang Zhen!

At this time, a soldier said: "Master, this woman, it's not that she can't be protected, after all, this woman has nothing to do with the rebellion, she is just connected, if the old man gives up his face to beg, Huan Gong, I believe that Huan Gong is still willing to give the master a favor!" ”

What this soldier said is not reasonable, as he said, Su Huai'er is not really involved in the rebellion, but only a victim, if Zhang Tianshang really ran to Qi Xiaobai and begged Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai would probably let go, after all, a Shangqing gave up his old face and came to beg you, and this woman is not a daughter of a felony, but someone else's son likes it and wants to marry a wife......

Hearing what the soldiers said, Zhang Zhen hurriedly knelt in front of Zhang Tianshang: "I beg my father, save Huai'er, you go and beg Duke Huan to let Huai'er go!" ”

Zhang Tianshang clenched his fists and slapped Zhang Zhen in the face: "Why did I give birth to such a son of you!" ”

Although Zhang Tianshang said so, Zhang Tianshang still loved his son, and he also considered the words of the soldiers in his heart at this time.
