C247 Prepare a gift

Zhang Cang...

Hearing this name, Xiao Wen went silent for a moment before nodding his head: "Since it's an invitation from the princess, I will be there tomorrow."

"Since that's the case, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Lu Yuan faced Xiao Wen, and for some reason, said in an ambiguous tone.

Looking at Lu Yuan's leaving figure, Xiao Wen rubbed his nose and thought: "This Lu Yuan, or should I say, the princess of the big man, is really a group of guys who worry so much. He wasn't even married yet and was already planning to give his fiancé a green hat. Unfortunately, I am not a creature that cannot control his lower body. "

If fighting with Lu Yuan would allow him to obtain benefits that were greater than offending Zhao Wang, Zhang Ao, then he naturally wouldn't mind sparring with Lu Yuan.

However, as a mature politician, Xiao Wen understood that it wouldn't be good for him to be hooked on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was not giving him benefits by winking at him, but harming him.

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?" Xiao Wen sneered in his heart.

However, Xiao Wen had always been curious about Zhang Cang.

This so-called Zhang Cang, Xiao Wen guessed that this was probably the historical Zhang Cang.

Although this man wasn't as brilliant as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, or Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, in the end, he was just a group of people who helped Liu Bang beat down the feudal nobles of the world.

However, although Zhang Cang was not that important to Liu Bang, from a civilized perspective, he was more important than Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and even Liu Bang and Xiang Yu combined.

In the past, Zhang Cang had once studied with Xun Zi in Lan Ling. He was Xun Zi's last student.

After learning it, he relied on his fellow disciples' relationship with Reese to enter the Qin's court and became the First Emperor's Doctor, becoming a librarian.

Relying on his duties, Zhang Cang immersed himself in books all day long. Over time, he memorized many of Qin Shi Huang's books.

The war in the late Qin Dynasty engulfed China, causing countless cultural texts to be destroyed in the war, especially the brainless one of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the West Chu, which burned down the Alpha Palace and burned down the last remaining books in the world, causing the loss of many works of the pre-Qin era.

However, in the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Cang relied on his memory to forcibly recover many burnt books.

It could be said that if it weren't for Zhang Cang, even if the Chinese civilization didn't fall apart, it would still be lacking in diversity.

There might not be as many guilds in the world as there are now.

Thus, Zhang Cang could be said to be the guardian of China's civilization.

Without Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, China would still be China.

But without Zhang Cang, the glory of China's civilization would have definitely dimmed a lot.

However, Xiao Wen still had some misgivings.

He walked up to Sun Shangxiang and asked, "Ah Xiang, can I ask you a question?"

"Sir, please speak." Sun Shangxiang blinked her eyes and said.

Xiao Wen asked: "You know this Zhang Cang … Zhang Cang, what kind of status do you have, and which side do you belong to? "

"Could it be that in this world, there is some sort of monarch?" The shore of a land, could it be a king's official? Sir, Doctor Zhang Cang is naturally as loyal to His Majesty as we are. " Sun Shangxiang had an innocent look as she spoke to Xiao Wen.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang's crafty eyes, Xiao Wen didn't think that Sun Shangxiang was hit on the head by Lu Bu just now.

Therefore, after some thought, he decided to remain silent.

He brought the group of children to the mansion in Chang'an Capital.

In the evening, after eating a meal that couldn't be considered as luxurious, Xiao Wen found Sun Shangxiang and asked: "This Zhang Cang, where does he belong to?"

"Heh heh." Sun Shangxiang looked at Xiao Wen and smiled: "Mister asking me this question in front of the palace entrance today really gave me a fright. Although His Majesty and the empress had tacitly agreed to fight openly and secretly between officials from different factions. But they don't like this kind of ganging up. "

"I know that. I can tell from your attitude outside today. " Xiao Wen said calmly.

Although he didn't think that there would be so many taboos in the beginning. But Sun Shangxiang's abnormal actions had him on the alert.

One had to know, Sun Shangxiang was not stupid. She came from a noble family and had been used to watching battles between nobles since she was young.

And when he grew up a little, he even became a travelling adventurer, roaming the world.

Her IQ and EQ could be said to be the highest among Xiao Wen's students.

Thus, there must be a reason behind Sun Shangxiang's actions.

As for Xiao Wen, after thinking about it carefully, he also found out the key point.

Therefore, he chose to return to Uncle Li's home to ask him the reason.

Sure enough, Sun Shangxiang grinned and said: "This Zhang Cang, in name, is the same as Zhao Wang, Zhang Ao. He belongs to the loyal side of His Majesty, the Queen's Palace. In actuality, however, he was only doing this because he was thinking about His Majesty's collection of Daoist scriptures. As such, he could be said to be the neutral party amongst the nobles. His Majesty wanted to win him over for his own use. The other nobles, no matter which faction, would also hope to form a relationship with him. Therefore, at tomorrow's banquet, mister may see many factions of nobility. "

"It seems like tomorrow will be another open and secret battle!" When Xiao Wen heard Sun Shangxiang's description, he rubbed his head with a troubled expression.

He already knew why Lu Yuan would invite him.

In fact, Lu Zhi, Lu Yuan, and the others were still unsure of Xiao Wen's political position.

Tomorrow's banquet, even though Zhang Cang was the main character.

However, relying on the complicated situation, Lu Zhi and Lu Yuan obviously wanted Xiao Wen to reveal his political position and determine whether Xiao Wen was an enemy or a friend.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take advantage of this situation to accumulate strength." Xiao Wen smiled bitterly.

Even though it was the traditional Chinese agriculture, Xiao Wen felt that after the storm, he should conceal himself.

However, Xiao Wen felt that in reality, he might not have that much time to spare.

Even if he went to fish in troubled waters this time, what about the next time, the next two times, and even the next countless times?

After all, he could be considered a strong political rookie.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no aristocrat that wasn't curious about Xiao Wen's political standpoint.

"Come to think of it." Suddenly, Sun Shangxiang said: "Sir, you should put aside the political fight first! Although this matter was very important, maintaining the dignity of a noble was not simple either. "If you lose your dignity at a banquet, although you will not be mocked by the nobles, the civil servants will still treat you like a barbarian like a military general."

"Therefore, you'd better prepare a gift that suits your status and also suits Zhang Cang!"

"It's a gift!" Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes as he opened up the super library.

He looked at the information on Zhang Cang in history and quickly came to a decision.

"If I were to give this to him, I should have some face!" Xiao Wen thought.
