"Uncle, why do you do this?" Zhao Xing stared at Zhang Weixian's eyes and asked again by ten brothers.

Zhang Weixian said lightly: "Call me father-in-law."

"Father-in-law, don't you fight anymore? Just give up like this, just be willing to be killed by Donglin with a knife?" Zhao Xing insisted on asking.

Zhang Weixian stroked Zhang Cuiyan's face with pear blossoms on her knees: "Don't cry, don't cry." Then he said to Zhao Xing with a calm expression: "My British Duke's lineage has been passed down to me for seven generations, and only his ancestor was named Zhang Mao. He was born in a prosperous era and was able to die for 40 years. In the other five generations, who was not a royal family in times of trouble, will die for the royal family? It is because of this that the British Duke's lineage has been passed down to this day."

A sad smile: "While looking at the founding achievements, all of them were inexplicably punished and robbed, or demoted for trivial matters. In the end, the rest of them were also trembling and stalemate."

"But--"

"Nothing is true. Now, judging from all the things that have happened, according to your inference and my judgment, the fact that Huang Taiji's troops were at the city and forced the emperor to sign the city alliance would definitely happen. The royal family is in trouble again, so it's my turn to this time."

Looking at Zhang Zhiji, Zhang Zhiji was no longer as careless as before, but instead clenched his fists, standing upright with his plump body, his firm face was covered with tears, and biting his lips tightly, and there was a trace of blood flowing out.

He looked at his son in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at his good son-in-law: "Actually, the one who forced me to die was not the only civil servant Donglin, but also the emperor. In order to maintain the emperor's trust in our British Duke, I must take the initiative to die. This is life, this is the life of the British Duke of all generations. I cannot violate it, and I dare not violate it."

Zhao Xing was speechless, and finally asked stubbornly: "Is it that important for a country's false reputation?"

Zhang Weixian smiled bitterly: "People say that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is ordinary people after all. It is not just difficult for us descendants to go from extravagance to frugality? If we cannot advance, we will never retreat. Once we retreat, we will confiscate our families and destroy our families. This is the sorrow of us nobles."

Hearing such words, Zhao Xing sat down on the chair dejectedly, and now he has nothing to say.

Zhang Weixian patiently taught Zhao Xing: "The history of our family is a portrayal of your future, and it is even more dangerous. You have no foundation, but in a short period of time, you have risen to your current position, and you are a position that is hostile to everyone. Then you are made into a lonely minister by the present. Don't you know that you will not have a good end?

When asked this question, Zhao Xing raised his head and smiled confidently: "If it were placed in the Taiping Period, I would have an ending without a good result. I would avoid it, for fear of not being able to do it." Then he said indifferently again: "But if it was placed in the Taiping Period, I would not be taken by my brothers to meet any bullshit emperor who made things wrong and said those nonsense that had nothing to do with me. I would still follow my original ideas and be a spectator, take my old lady and my puppy, stay wherever I cool down, and never get involved in this chaotic and dirty officialdom, and be a relaxed spectator."

Zhang Weixian couldn't help but lit up his eyes, full of envy, but turned into dimness.

"But unfortunately, I was born in this chaotic world. Although I was still thinking about this idea at the beginning, I avoided the war-torn north, first go to the south to hide, watch the chaos of the world, then watch the dynasty change, and then when Jiannu went south and then ruled China, he took his family and went overseas. With my ability, I can be a peaceful and rich man, and I am confident that I can do it. The rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with me. Because in my opinion, this old empire is hopeless."

"Then why don't you do this? Instead of mixing it into this dyeing vat in troubled times."

He glanced at Zhang Cuiyan and smiled apologetically, "The reason why I can't leave is that my mother is unwilling to leave the old house because there is my father's soul there, which can make him feel at ease and joy."

Zhang Weixian praised: "The old lady is really lucky to have her son and you."

"While Xiufen, who is in love with each other, cannot withstand the heat of summer in the south, how can I abandon them and walk away alone?"

Zhang Cuiyan's eyes were filled with happiness, "I really envy Sister Xiufen's eyes. If you have a husband like this, you will have no regrets in this life."

Zhao Xing gave Zhang Cuiyan again, the fiancée a comforting look, "And before I knew it, I had these brothers who were unwavering in life and death around me, how could I leave?"

Then regardless of Zhang Zhi and his touching eyes, he breathed a deep breath: "I am not great, and I do not have the lofty ideal of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country like Yue Fei, nor do I have the responsibility of taking the world as my responsibility. But since I cannot leave, I will never let this ancient imperial capital fall into the hands of Jiannu, and let me and my beloved relatives become slaves of barbarians. I will never let this ancient imperial capital become a place where a group of bandits ravaged. Because I think that the Ming Dynasty is not good, after all, it is the orthodox Han family. I am always passed down by the Han culture, which makes me fascinated."

Then he patted the table gently and gently: "In the end, no matter what the reason is, I will live happily in this world for my descendants and me, and will use my talents to change this world, so that he can enjoy the glory of the five thousand years of Chinese culture for the permanent Han family."

Looking at the three fathers and daughters who were already in deep thought, Zhao Xing said confidently: "As for being a lonely minister, especially the lonely minister who is like my current position and who is beaten by everyone in the world, there will be a destined tragic ending in the end, but I don't agree."

"Why?" Zhang Weixian asked seriously.

"Because I was born in troubled times, and more because I am not a person who is not a man who is unshakable. For example, I will never stick too much like your father-in-law, and have an inexplicable persistence. To be honest, I will not be an isolated minister. I will cultivate a group of strength that makes people afraid of me, such as the soldiers of the former Dongjiang Town of Pidao. At the same time, when the high emperor wants to be unfavorable to me, I will never surrender. I will turn the table with him, let alone others? At that time, whoever threatens me, I will kill the gods and Buddhas." Finally, word by word: "My life is up to me, and I will not do it, and I will not do it."

After hearing this creepy and rebellious words, Zhang Weixian took his daughter's hand and gently placed her in Zhao Xing's hand: "I'll feel at ease, and I'll be truly feel free to hand over my baby daughter's hand to you and treat her kindly."

Zhao Xing held Cuiyan's hand tightly, and Zhang Cuiyan stood firmly beside Zhao Xing.

Looking at the little guy and woman, Zhang Weixian said relaxedly: "You have your persistence, I have my destiny. When you take her to the northwest, I will marry your brother. That girl is also a small family with a scholarly family. If I exchange my life for the time being for protection in this battle, everything will be given up. But once we father and son die together on the battlefield, I ask you, the first son of you two must be adopted in the name of your brother, and do not let our efforts be cut off."

Zhang Cuiyan burst into tears, and Zhao Xing nodded resolutely.

"Go and go, I'll wait for you to lead your troops back to rescue this time of great suffering in the Ming Dynasty."

On the third day, according to the calendar, it was a lucky day and was the most suitable for marriage. Zhao Xing and Xiufen and Zhang Cuiyan officially got married.
