Chapter 828: Mutual Suspicion
The re-revision of the "Chronicles of the Clans" has been a long time since the date of its announcement, and it is natural that it will not be possible to complete the rearrangement of all the large and small wealthy families in Jingguo.
But this re-revision, not to completely overturn the original ranking, but to change on the original basis, the Ministry of Rites and several scholars of the Hongwen Hall were ordered to supervise, half a month, has been completed.
A man hurriedly walked in from outside, put a booklet on the table, and said, "This is the first draft I brought out from the Ministry of Rites, everyone should read it as soon as possible, and within today, I will return it." ”
"I want to see how they want to arrange this "Chronicles of the Clans"!" The old man surnamed Zhang snorted coldly at first and picked it up.
Pingyang Zhang's family, if it is according to the arrangement announced this time, the rank in the family will be lowered by two grades, which is a great shame for the entire family, and in the future, how can the name of Pingyang Zhang's be convincing?
However, he picked up the booklet in his hand, looked through it twice, and after his beard trembled, he put it down again.
"The old man still has some things to do today, so I'll go first."
Seeing the old man surnamed Zhang put down the book and immediately turned to leave, everyone was not surprised at all.
Pingyang Zhang's suffered heavy losses this time, and I am afraid that after seeing the results, I will already be angry in my heart, and I don't want to stay here any longer.
"I'll see."
Wei Fang and Gou Xu, who were closest to each other, leaned over, flipped through the two pages with a sullen face, and after seeing their names, the two looked at each other, both stunned.
The representative of the Yunzhou Wei clan closed the book, pursed his lips, and coughed lightly: "I suddenly thought that there was something else at home, so I said goodbye first." ”
On behalf of Tongzhou Gou's family, a man named Gou Xu chased after him, "Brother Wei, don't worry, I'll go with you." ”
Someone looked through the book in confusion and muttered, "What's wrong with these three people, they are really ranked behind, aren't there so many people who have suffered the same thing as them......"
It didn't take long for the voice to come to an abrupt end.
Pingyang Zhang's, Yunzhou Wei's, Tongzhou Gou's ......
These three families did not rank as low as they thought, on the contrary, they were ahead of the families of most of the people in the field.
Not only that, but there are also several rankings, which are beyond their expectations.
"What's going on, Zhang's, Wei's, Gou's, they'...... already taken refuge?"
"No way, you didn't see what they just looked like......"
"And what is the explanation for this?"
No one can explain it, and no one can figure out why these families are obviously the same as them, but they have been treated preferentially in this matter------ why are they?
This ranking, although it does not say that it determines the rise and fall of the family, but the impact on them cannot be ignored, if the new "Clan Chronicles" is accepted by the world, can their family still maintain the same respected status as before?
In addition to speculation in many people's hearts, they also looked at the eyes of some people around them, and they also brought a little scrutiny.
Standing in the same boat as them on the surface, and secretly not knowing what they have done, if not, why is there such an unfair result in front of them?
I don't know how many people in this, like the Zhang family, the Wei family, and the Gou family, do such dirty things on the surface and behind the scenes?
Someone frowned and said, "Perhaps, this is the intention of the imperial court?" ”
"Deliberately so......" someone sneered, "why did you choose them?" ”
Looking at the expressions of the people around me, I realized that it was completely different from when they entered the door.
As soon as the old man surnamed Zhang returned home, a man came out of it and asked eagerly, "Dad, how is it?" ”
The old man surnamed Zhang glanced at him, "What's the matter?" ”
The man said anxiously: "Clan Chronicles, our Zhang family ......"
The old man surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said, "You go and arrange it, tonight's big banquet in the mansion, let them all come back, and no one is missing." ”
"Huh?" The man looked at him suspiciously, puzzled.
"By the way......" Thinking of something, the old man surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said: "The land that the academy wants to use in Pingyang has been donated, and all ...... have been donated."
"Donated?" The man was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Dad, isn't it discussed with those people, and we will never back down on this matter......
"You know what!" The old man surnamed Zhang glared at him and said, "I said donate if I donate, don't ask anything else, go and do your job......"
The old man surnamed Zhang strode away, and the young man stood in place, and after a long time, he turned around and left with a heavy heart.
At the same time, another mansion in Kyoto.
Wei Fang, who had just returned, instructed the housekeeper: "Quick, immediately send a letter to Yunzhou, just say that my Wei clan's ranking in the "Clan Chronicles" has risen to the third class, let them not embarrass the people who have been preparing to build the academy in Kyoto, and they must help more, violators, family law service!" ”
The Wei family is not far away, and the person in charge of the Tongzhou Gou clan in Kyoto is also instructing his subordinates.
"Don't rest along the way, rush to Tongzhou overnight, tell those rich businessmen, donate as much as you can, if anyone loses my face in Tongzhou Gou, don't blame me for being unkind!"
In one day, news of the same content spread from Kyoto several times.
"Zhang family, Wei family...... these people, what are they doing!" Cui family, the head of the family, Cui Qingze, had a gloomy face, "This matter can only be done if everyone works together, if someone is lax, what others do will be seen by the world, in comparison, won't it be scolded by thousands of people?" ”
Beside him, Cui Qinghe, the number two person in the Cui family, shook his head and said: "It's not just about these people in the Zhang Jiawei family, the revision of the clan chronicles, Your Majesty's attitude, is simply impossible to guess, at this time the final ranking is undecided, the major families are suspicious of each other, and some people have even taken the initiative to show favor to ......the imperial court, this time, we are negligent." ”
……
"This is the simplest plan to discord, I don't believe that no one can see them, can it be useful?" The eldest princess looked at Li Yi and asked with a frown.
"What if you can see it, what if you can't see it......" Li Yi took out a small bamboo basket from the kitchen, took out a washed apple and handed it to Yongning.
"Shouning, Xiaohuan, Dragon Boat Festival, come and eat apples."
Xiaohuan accompanied the two little girls to play in the yard, Li Yi beckoned to them, and each of them shared an apple.
The apples sent by the Wang family have thin skin and thick flesh, sweet and delicious, and the taste is very good.
took out the last apple from the box, took a bite of it, and saw the eldest princess's raised hand, handed it over, and said in surprise: "Do you want it too?" ”
"Don't do it!" Li Mingzhu glared at him, slightly angry in his heart.
"You see, the reason is the same, Xiaohuan they can eat apples, but if you can't eat them, you will be unhappy...... they can't eat apples, it's not just apples."
Li Yi looked at her, divided the apple in two, handed her the half that had not been bitten, and said, "So, the reason is not important, the process is not important, the result is important." ”
Li Mingzhu took a bite of the apple and thought thoughtfully.
Li Yi took the half apple in his hand, looked at it over and over, and didn't find any traces of the bite he had just bite, raised his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I handed it wrong just now, can you ...... it?"
Finding that the half apple in her hand had an extra tooth mark, she waved her hand and said with some disgust: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want it......"
