After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 327 Out of the Northwest

Haitang's mood was a little complicated.

She had a very good impression of Mrs. Zhen Guo.

According to his brother Hai Jiao, General Zhou was killed in the Battle of Suzhou in his previous life. The death of Crown Prince Yingchuan was implicated in the loss of General Zhou’s official position. In the following years, there were various unfavorable situations. One after another, young children were tricked or injured by the Sun family. Either disabled or dead, the Zhou family's vitality was seriously damaged. After the death of Marshal Zhou, the Duke of Zhen, the Zhou family failed to retain military power. The Duke of Zhen's wife took up the responsibility of the family and decided to move to the capital with her family, even though she was provoked and framed by the Sun family, and her children were almost lost. Life, she still stabilized the overall situation, allowing the Zhou family to live a low-key life as an ordinary military attaché until the Sun family fell and the new king came to power, and the Zhou family's basic position in the northwest frontier army was also preserved. This leaves the family with hope for a comeback.

The duchess of Zhenguo who can do these things has great perseverance, big plans, and perseverance in temperament. She is not comparable to the mistresses of ordinary dukes and princes.

But the current situation of the Zhou family is still good. The Duke of Zhenguo, who has never experienced the pain of losing a son or a grandson, has not yet evolved into the respectable and wise head of the family in her previous life. In her heart, she will favor her mother's family, hoping that the Zhou family can marry with the Tang family again, and she will also choose to harm the Zhou family for the benefit of the Tang family.

Hai Jiao was reborn in this life, changed many things, and helped the Zhou family a lot. But all this help has not always had a positive impact on the Zhou family.

Haitang felt that in the future, the brothers and sisters had better be more cautious and considerate when thinking about how to help the Zhou family get out of trouble and defeat the Sun family.

She asked Zhou Yijun: "The Duke of Zhenguo asked General Zhou to come forward to talk to the Tang family. I'm afraid it would be a bit thankless, right? Previously, because Mrs. Zhou's brother wanted the position of Chang'an vanguard commander, the Tang family asked Zhou Yijun The four generals had an quarrel, and even if it was later revealed that it was a misunderstanding, the relationship between the two parties would have been forged long ago. If such an embarrassing thing happens again at this time, can the Tang family really feel at ease in the face of General Zhou who knows about their own sins? "

Zhou Yijun thought for a while: "It's really embarrassing to say this... But from the beginning, the second uncle and the fourth uncle were insiders of this matter. The second uncle was not in Chang'an, so he did not find the fourth uncle and let other house leaders Wouldn't it be better to come forward? The fourth uncle is a flesh and blood of the Zhou family and is not born to the great-uncle, so his identity is more neutral and fair. If he comes forward to talk to the Tang family, no matter what the outcome is, the clan members will be more convinced."

General Zhou Jinzhen on Thursday was the cousin of Marshal Zhou, the Duke of Zhen. His father and grandfather were killed in battle, and his mother died early. He was young and helpless, so he was adopted by Duke Zhen and his wife. Not to mention General Friday, who was killed in battle in the early years, General Zhou, General Wednesday and General Saturday are all the biological sons of the Tang family, the princess of Zhenguo. General Tuesday is the adopted son of a fallen soldier with a foreign surname. Compared to them, Thursday The identity of the general can better represent the interests of the Zhou family and will not be biased towards the Tang family, which is indeed more convincing.

Just because he is relatively neutral does not mean that General Zhou's intervention in handling the matter will definitely satisfy both Zhou and Tang Dynasties.

Zhou Yijun only stayed in the third room, occasionally receiving letters from the elder sister and chatting about gossip. She could hear some rumors and knew that the talks between General Zhou and the Tang family were not going well.

The Tang family is eager to get out of trouble, and hopes that the Zhou family will readily provide help without any additional conditions in view of the long-standing friendship between the two families, as well as Mrs. Zhenguo's wife and Mrs. Tuesday. However, the hidden thoughts of the Tang family over the years have left many Zhou family members shocked, disappointed, and emotionally hurt. The Tang family is not facing a desperate situation. The so-called danger has not yet come, and the situation is not serious. How could the Zhou family relent so easily? Naturally, I hope that the Tang family can learn a lesson, and it is best to pay some compensation and make some guarantees, so as not to fall back into their old ways once the crisis is over.

The conflict between the two sides was difficult to resolve for a while, and General Thursday was caught in the middle, which can be said to be a disservice to both sides. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to bear it bravely and solve the whole matter.

The Tang family has been rooted in the Northwest Frontier Army for many years and cannot be easily separated. If something happens to the Tang family, the entire northwest frontier army will be affected. Whether it is for the years of friendship between the Zhou and Tang families or for the stability of the northwest frontier army, the Tang family must be saved. The key lies in how to save the Tang family without causing serious consequences.

This is the consensus of the Zhou and Tang families. In order to achieve this goal, there are always some things that must be tolerated, and there are always some people that can be sacrificed...

In the late first month of the first month, all the government offices in Chang'an City reopened for business, and the results of the Tang family's treatment came out.

General Tang, who currently has the highest official position in the Tang family, will be transferred to Ganzhou after the beginning of spring and become the second-rank commander and commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Commander's Department, replacing Peng Tongzhi who is about to be transferred to the Shanxi Commander's Department. From being in charge of a single guard in Chang'an to being transferred to Ganzhou to serve as General Zhou's deputy, General Tang seemed to be promoted overtly and demoted secretly. In fact, he was indeed promoted overtly and demoted secretly.

There is only one word difference between Shaanxi Xingdu Commander's Division and Shaanxi Du Commander's Division, but they are two completely different areas. They are completely different in terms of living environment and room for advancement. Except for going to the frontier during the war, General Tang had almost always lived in the areas around Chang'an. He suddenly had to go to the bitterly cold Ganzhou to garrison, and he didn't know if he could bear it.

But in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, this transfer is a good thing. After all, Duke Zhen Guo is old and he doesn't know how many years he can be in charge of the command. As his eldest son, General Zhou had no choice in terms of ability or qualifications. He had long been recognized as the future commander-in-chief and successor of the Northwest Frontier Army. When the time comes, he will definitely return to Chang'an to be stationed permanently. Will the post of the Commander-in-Chief of the Shaanxi Provincial Commander-in-Chief Department be vacant? Naturally, priority will be given to the original commander as the replacement candidate. Now that Peng Tongzhi is gone, isn’t it Tang Tongzhi who is left? This is the road to success prepared for General Tang! This is a benefit prepared by the Zhou family for their old friend the Tang family!

Can the Tang family still argue that General Tang was actually exiled as a disguised punishment? cannot!

The key is that if General Tang really does well in Ganzhou, there is indeed hope that he can take charge of the Shaanxi Xingdu Commandery Department in the future. Although this arrangement was diametrically opposed to the Tang family's goal of leaving the northwest and returning to the capital, they had no reason to refuse if it could rise to the level of being in charge of a single capital.

As for the Tang family's wish to go out of the northwest, the Zhou family also satisfied them. Peng Tongzhi went to Shanxi to serve as Dusi, and he was accompanied by several mid-level military attachés. In addition to outstanding generals such as Chen Qianhu, the neighbor of the Hai family, two sons of the Tang family were also selected. There are also several Tang family members who are preparing to be sent by the imperial court to serve in central Sichuan or southern Hubei. Although they lost their original positions of real power and good positions in Chang'an as a result, they did leave the northwest territory and develop outward, realizing their family's long-cherished wish. What else could they complain about?

The head of the Tang family accepted the result calmly.

As for the position in the capital that their family wanted most, it was finally given to General Zhou Zhou. He neither occupied the position of the vanguard commander of Chang'an as the rumors said, nor did he stay in Chang'an to replace the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Dusi who was about to retire. This surprised many people.

However, it is said that after the general enters Beijing on Thursday, he will not be in charge of an army alone. He will always face provocations and difficulties from the Sun family. I wonder if he can handle it. The rumors in this regard made some people in the Tang family who were not satisfied with the results secretly feel a lot better: they were so cruel to the Tang family on Thursday, and now they have received their retribution...

Everyone in the Tang family is preparing their bags and preparing to leave after spring. At the same time, the dispute between Mrs. Tang and the nanny finally came to an end.

As expected, Mrs. Tang personally apologized to the two nuns, gave them a thousand taels of silver, two rooms for her family, and a small house as compensation, and sent them out as gifts.

The two nuns left the Tang family with a straight face and moved into the small house. There was movement that night.
