The heavens start from Maoshan

But okay.

Among the twelve captains, ten died in battle, and Zhang Yanran disappeared.

Li Zhongtan escaped, but no one knew where he was hiding.

However, judging from the fact that he hid, his condition should not be good, and he was probably seriously injured.

"Old Ancestor, the latest news is that there was a big explosion in the Yanjing Science and Technology Park, causing countless casualties."

"Some witnesses said that someone flew into the sky to hide from the ground and carried away a container."

was thinking.

Another person came to report below.

"Science and Technology Park..."

Zhang Heng was expressionless.

He has never been to this place, but he has heard of it. It is said that the Academy of Weird Research under the headquarters is in it.

Judging from the reported news, this is someone who heard that the operation of the headquarters failed and jumped out to add insult to injury.

You must know that although a large number of treasures were taken away in the attack on Reincarnation City, there must be a lot left behind.

These people eat really ugly.

Is this certain that the headquarters is at the end of its rope?

"Old Ancestor, there is a call from someone who claims to be Headquarters Minister Xiao, hoping to come to Yangjiang to visit you, look..."

moment.

Someone else came to report.

This is also an old acquaintance, Deputy Minister Xiao, Deputy Director Cao of the headquarters.

It seems that after Minister Cao died, the headquarters made him a full-time employee.

"These people are really optimistic."

"Perhaps they think that the driver is just a pawn, and it doesn't matter how many people die."

Zhang Heng knew very well the purpose of Minister Xiao's visit to him.

Nothing more than returning to the headquarters to stabilize the situation.

But they are too optimistic.

True.

The Captain Project has been going on for three generations.

Generation after generation of captains, one batch will be replaced after one batch is killed, and the iron-clad camp and flowing soldiers seem to have no effect.

But these people have forgotten that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was only regarded by the Empress Dowager as an episode, no different from the previous defeats.

Little did they know, this marked the end of Daqing's national fortune.

No matter what you do or how you do it in the future, it will be nothing more than lingering.

The same is true now.

The loss of all twelve captains indicates that the destiny is gone.

The headquarters no longer has the qualifications to bargain with the city leaders below.

It's like at a gambling table, the dealer has lost but the casino has to gamble again.

Do you understand that you are already out.

You are not in charge now.

Zhang Heng stood on the balcony and looked into the distance.

His eyes seemed to pass through layers of obstacles, and he saw Yanjing, and saw the deep walled courtyard.

"Who abandons me, shall not keep the day of yesterday."

Zhang Heng murmured: "Those who disturb my mind, are so worried today."

Chapter 382: Leave it to the future

For Minister Xiao's visit.

Zhang Heng is very clear.

At the end of every era, there will be people who want to restore it in the process.

Even during the period of the Republic of China, Zhang Xun and his braided army were still thinking about restoration.

It's just that the times are like this, so how can we force it.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Jincheng, the new minister, would kneel down to meet him as the head of the headquarters without any face.

"What a Xiao Jincheng, this is putting me on fire!"

I heard that Xiao Jincheng was kneeling outside.

Zhang Heng expressed his feelings: "This person is more difficult to deal with than Lao Cao."

Although Minister Cao is also very powerful, he has climbed to a high position step by step and has great power in his hands.

But he couldn't do such a thing as kneeling and begging for help. Without him, he couldn't let go of his airs for a long time.

Xiao Jincheng was able to let go.

A man who can take it up and put it down is undoubtedly terrifying.

"Ancestor."

"No matter how powerful the surname Xiao is, he's just a paper-paster."

"Whether his ball of paper can cover the fire or not depends on whether you appreciate the face of the ancestor."

Inside the shrine.

The elders of the Zhang clan sat on both sides.

Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.

People without thought, he must worry about.

His existence is both a convenience and a restriction.

In the Zhang family, apart from him, there is no other top-level driver who can be taken out, because these people do not have enough sense of urgency in their hearts.

See how they look.

Obviously he didn't take Xiao Jincheng to heart.

But that's right, the headquarters has lost troops and generals in the city of rotation, and it's really not a good time now.

Not to mention others, none of the elders in the Zhang family felt that they could go back to the past, and the era of belonging to the headquarters was finally gone.

"Old Ancestor, if you don't want to see him, why don't we come forward and send him away."

Sensing something wrong with Zhang Heng's face, a clan elder suggested: "Anyway, Xiao Jincheng is also the head of the headquarters, so he still has to give the face he deserves."

Hear this.

Zhang Heng's face softened a little, and he said, "Well, let me meet him, otherwise he won't be reconciled."

People always like to dig into a dead end.

It is easy to complain when the heart is not reconciled.

Although Zhang Heng didn't take the headquarters seriously from the beginning to the end, there is no need to step on it at this time, he is not a person who makes trouble.

"Minister Xiao, are you all right?"

soon.

Zhang Heng invited Xiao Jincheng into the study.

When I saw him last time, Xiao Jincheng was still the deputy head of the headquarters, mature and prudent, with the air of a general.

See you today.

His face was tired and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was only forty years old, with half of his head of gray hair already, and looked haggard.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to be safe and sound, but the burden on my body is too heavy, how can I relax?"

Xiao Jincheng said that he was about to kneel down to Zhang Heng: "Mr. Zhang, the headquarters is really hard to support. I beg you to see that you also have a share of credit for the establishment of the headquarters. Give a helping hand and don't let it fall."

"Get up first..."

Zhang Heng waved his hand and pulled Xiao Jincheng up.

After finishing, he picked up the teacup in his hand and shook his head slightly: "The implementation of the captain's plan and the person in charge's plan, in my opinion, have contributed a lot to stabilizing the peace of the region."

"But everything has advantages and disadvantages, one body has two sides."

"If the headquarters is strong enough, the people below will naturally not be able to mess up."

"On the contrary, the headquarters does not have the power to suppress everything. Just like the Tang Dynasty, when power was delegated to local Jiedushi, chaos is inevitable."

"Old Zhang..."

Xiao Jincheng wanted to say something.

Zhang Heng interrupted him, and said, "I already know the reason for your visit, but it's useless. Only when people's minds are calm, the world will be stable. If people's minds are chaotic, the world will inevitably be in chaos."

"Do you think that in the current world, and those arrogant and invincible drivers, do they want to be stable, or do they want to be peaceful with princes and generals?"

Xiao Jincheng said impatiently: "Mr. Zhang, if you are willing to come out of the mountain and have you secure the headquarters, those people will not dare to have ideas."

Zhang Heng shook his head: "Wrong, I can stop the water of the Yellow River, but I can't stop the flow of ambition."

"So what if I go with you, fight with them, kill with them."

"There are so many people in the world, can't I kill them all?"

"Historical Records: The Biographies of the Marquis of Huaiyin once said: Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it."

"Now, you are Qin who lost the deer. The first emperor died and the land was divided. How can you stop the greed of the people in the world?"

Able to become Minister after Minister Cao.

Xiao Jincheng is naturally not a person with little wisdom.

It's just that he was in it, even though Zhang Heng had made it very clear, he still couldn't help pleading: "Old Zhang, is there really no other way?"

"Not at all."

Zhang Heng thought for a while: "The headquarters has guarded the world for many years, and there is still a certain amount of popular support. It's just that the previous model is not suitable. If you are willing to change, it may not be possible that the Eastern Han Dynasty will succeed the Western Han Dynasty and flourish again."

Xiao Jincheng came alive: "Old Zhang, what do you mean..."

Zhang Heng didn't hide anything: "What do those people want, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, flying to wash the ground?"

"Of course not, what they want is dignity, rights, and autonomy."

"In ancient Rome, there was the Senate."

"This is the predecessor of the parliamentary system. Every elder can make his own voice in the Senate and benefit himself."

"Can we also change the power structure, and use the city as a module to form a city-state council, so that the driver can enter the power center instead of being called around like a pawn?"

"If it is possible, I believe that the vast majority of city leaders are willing to accept this proposal, and there are only a few who do not accept it."

"After a while, maybe there is still a scene."

"This..." Xiao Jincheng smiled awkwardly.

to be frank.

This time I came to ask Zhang Heng to return to the headquarters to ensure that the rights would not be lost.

If the Supreme Council is established according to what Zhang Heng said, there is no need to invite Zhang Heng out of the mountain.

"In the end, I'm still reluctant, right?"
