The Zheng family in Xingyang was a well-known family in the Tang Dynasty. In terms of its long history, the Zheng family was the oldest family among the five surnames and Qiwang. It can be traced back to the Zheng State period when King Xuan of Zhou was enfeoffed, and was the royal family of Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period. After the Zheng State was destroyed, Zheng was still regarded as the surname, and the former place Xingyang was the county guard, and lived tenaciously. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others from the Zheng lineage at that time, gradually developed into a prominent family, becoming one of the most prominent families among the five surnames and Qiwang.

After development and growth thousands of years ago, the Zheng family is like a towering ancient tree with intertwined roots, not only lush branches and leaves, but also deep-rooted and lasting for a long time. The Zheng family's control talents are spread all over the court and the disciples and former officials are spread all over the world. They have an extremely strong political foundation.

At this moment, in an old house in the Zheng family's ancestral land, a middle-aged man with a simple face and a calm expression was walking back and forth in the house. As calm as him, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of anxiety between his eyebrows. Faced with the current situation, he was a little confused.

His name is Zheng Yuanbi. He is also quite prestigious in the huge Zheng family in Xingyang. He is one of the popular candidates for the next Zheng family manager.

Five surnames, seven hopes, and seven major families can be passed down for thousands of years. In addition to a stable foundation, a reasonable and effective management method is essential. Only through effective management can a large family be guaranteed to be prosperous.

The management methods of the seven major families are roughly the same. They respect the most prestigious ancestors with the highest generation and appealing seniority as the clan leader, and then choose to manage the affairs of the ancestors separately to assist the ancestors in the clan. Because the ancestors are very old and have limited energy, they are certainly people who have nominal overview of the overall situation, but in fact, the real power is several managers. Only when several managers have disagreements or the matter is too serious will they invite the ancestors to make the final decision.

Therefore, the position of several managers is extremely high, and the connections in their hands are extremely terrifying. Being a family manager is almost like a powerful minister in the court, even more free than a powerful minister. He can call on the connection resources in his hands anytime and anywhere, and push his relatives, friends and family to the core of politics. Because of this, Cui, who is married to a wife, has such face, because she has an older brother who serves as a manager in the Cui family.

The Zheng family now has a vacant position in charge, and Zheng Yuanbi is bound to win this position. Looking at all the competitors, Zheng Yuanbi has not found anyone who is qualified to compare with it. All this is attributed to his father and brother.

His father Zheng Yi was a core official of the Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty. He served as the junior official of the Inner History during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was also Yang Jian's right-hand man and the governor of Qizhou. He was extremely prestige. His brother Zheng Yuanshang was not a simple person. He was protected by his father and became a general of the cavalry as soon as he entered the officialdom. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he also became a prosperous person. He had a certain right to speak in the court and was highly valued by Li Yuan.

Zheng Yuanbi has been assisting the late Zheng family in charge. Now the Zheng family has died of illness. It is almost imperative that the vacant seat is taken by him, a descendant of the Zheng family who is familiar with the process and has a certain background.

Zheng Yuanbi has always regarded the throne of in charge as his belongings.

But something happened to be sure of the matter.

A small side branch of the Zheng family actually emerged and entered the eyes of the ancestor Zheng. He was Zheng Renji, a side branch of the young family in the Zheng family. The most effective way for the aristocratic family members to win over talents is always one, marriage. They fell in love with a person's talent, promised the family's daughter, and then pushed him to a high position with his family's power, thus making the family famous.

Zheng Renji is somewhat unknown in the Zheng family, but his daughter Zheng Liwan actually got engaged with the youngest and most developmental General of the Tang Dynasty with the help of the Cui family.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were many people who became generals and prime ministers, but only as literati, but very few became prime ministers. The Li Tang Dynasty had been established for six years. Along the way, the prime ministers were Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing, Xiao Yu, Dou Wei, Dou Kang, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Feng Deyi, Pei Ju, Li Yuanji, Yu Wenshi and others. Except for Chen Shuda who became prime ministers as literati, everyone else had military achievements. Among them, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshi and these people also specially asked Li Yuan to send Li Shimin to let them gild on the battlefield. After getting some military achievements without gilding, they didn't even give them the prime minister.

It can be seen that the martial spirit of the early Tang Dynasty was actually above the civil officials.

Luo Shixin was a white man and was able to obtain the titles of General of the Guard, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Duke of Tan without any connections. If he was cultivated by his connections, his future would be limitless and he might become the youngest and earliest person to become a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. The great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and other aristocratic families were also greatly impacted. So far, no one who won the position. Luo Shixin had this possibility. Such a potential talent, who would not be moved?

Because of this, Cui was a little disgusted with Zheng Liwan's background as weak. If Luo Shixin had not been favored, she would have wanted to find a direct daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe Cui family to promise him.

With such a son-in-law, Zheng Renji has a great reputation and status and has entered the eyes of the old lady Zheng, and immediately became popular. He specially invited Zheng Renji to the Zheng family's ancestral home, and divided the branches into direct lines, becoming the main figure of the Zheng family's young house lineage, and has the power to compete for business management.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that Luo Shixin's potential is several streets higher than Zheng Yuanshu.

The position that Zheng Yuanbi was about to obtain suddenly became unpredictable. After all, Zheng Renji has been excluded from the Zheng family, and it is very difficult for him to work for the Zheng family like other Zheng family members. So someone suggested that Zheng Renji be promoted directly to the Zheng family manager with power. They have specially learned about Zheng Renji's nature, which is pedantic but upright and selfless, and has the ability to do things in charge well, so they are not afraid of causing any trouble.

In the face of Zheng Yuanbi's seemingly ridiculous proposal, this actually received the support of many current managers, and his status was seriously threatened.

"Brother Zheng Yuanbi, something is wrong." As Zheng Yuanbi was thinking about countermeasures, a fifty-year-old scholar walked in quickly.

Zheng Yuanbi's face changed drastically, and he met him with a heavy voice: "It's really what we expected?"

The visitor said with a dark face: "The old lady has already recognized Jung In-ki's tricks and convinced Jung Young that fool is inevitable. Jung In-ki is in charge of the business."

"Bastard!" Zheng Yuanbi cursed angrily, with a hint of fear in his eyes. Several major managers have different tasks, and the vacant manager manages the Zheng family's money and goods. Compared with this kind of family, money is an external thing, and the manager manages money and goods, and the position is the lowest among the several managers. But it is undeniable that among all managers, the most low-level manager is the most lucrative. His right-hand man in charge can make a fortune every day, let alone a manager.

Zheng Renji came here airborne, and with his pedantic and upright personality, he would definitely catch every link tightly. Zheng Yuanbi felt that not only had he been robbed of his status, but his current financial situation would also be cut off. Perhaps the old accounts he had made would be brought out together. Various threats came one after another.

The fifty-year-old literary scholar said: "It's time to come, so we can only do it step by step. Brother Yuan Bi, you can stabilize Zheng Renji first. He first came and said that his foundation was unstable, and it was not easy to control the affairs of the Zheng family in a short period of time. We can't attack Zheng Renji for a while, so as not to reveal our identity, but Luo Shixin and Zheng Liwan are the objects that can be bought."

Zheng Yuanbi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "You mean?"

The fifty-year-old scholar smiled coldly and said, "We are in the dark, they are in the light. It is not difficult to deal with them, either dead, or one of them has a problem, which prompts the marriage to fail. Zheng Renji has lost his support and can he still threaten you and me? Don't forget that their engagement is verbal, and there are no serious three books and six rituals. And as far as I know, Luo Shixin has offended many people in the court, and can be fully utilized."

Zheng Yuanbi laughed: "It makes sense, it makes sense. We have no grudges and no enemies with them, and no one will doubt our heads. Haha, Zheng Renji, you want to climb on my head with your daughter and son-in-law. I will ruin your daughter and son-in-law. Let's see how you can stand me!"

************

The busy days became free as the Right Guard got on track.

Luo Shixin also breathed a sigh of relief and tried to let go.

Initially, it was because of the need for reform. In order to avoid unusual problems, he needed to solve the problem as soon as possible with his prestige in the Right Guard, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. The Tang Dynasty's control of the current generals of the Twelve Guards was somewhat similar to the inaction rule. As long as you don't have any problems, do your part and maintain the corresponding combat effectiveness of the troops. To do these things, the above will let you ignore them. After all, everyone's style of leading troops is different, and it is difficult to seek unity.

Therefore, Luo Shixin saw the actions of the Right Guard, but because he did not make big mistakes, he was ignored with timely corrections.

Now the right guard is like a normal machine. As long as you follow the process system, there will be no problems in the system.

As for the training of soldiers, there is no need to worry about it. With Xue Yong and Mo Hu'er in charge of the arrangements, and Su Dingfang taking charge of the overall situation, everything is under control.

Su Dingfang also showed his characteristics as a famous general at this time. Although he was a latecomer, his understanding of the Modao Formation was far higher than that of Xue Yong and Mo Huer, second only to Luo Shixin himself. Although his qualifications were the lowest, he had already gained the trust and respect of Xue Yong and Mo Hu with his outstanding ability. When Luo Shixin was not around, he was responsible for taking over the training. What else did Luo Shixin not feel assured about Su Dingfang's ability?

Once the power of both sides was released, Luo Shixin was really free and turned to research on military strategy.
