Chapter Ninety-Four: Fighting in the Nest

Zhong Xuanchong's heart was blazing, what's going on, has the way of the world changed?

Or are they fighting internally, but they are stabbing him as an outsider?

It is unusual for the official fortune of rivers to overturn year after year.

When the first emperor was still in power, he made every effort to investigate thoroughly, but people caught batch after batch, but the ship still capsized and capsized year after year, and it never stopped for a year.

Everyone knows what the situation is.

Now to ask him, he also pointed directly at Tian Heng.

Is this playing with him?

Zhong Xuanchong waved the old sweat, got up and held his hand and said: "Please forgive the mother, the old Tiange has always been rigorous, and the old minister can't guess." ”

Old foxes, these are all fucking old foxes.

The Queen Mother thought hatefully, and while tapping the table with her long nail covers, she waved her hand to signal Zhong Xuanchong to sit down again.

Tian Laosan said that the river was full of dangers, and it was difficult to prevent the boat from capsizing, so it should still capsize. ”

"Oh. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "What does Elder Ge think of this answer?"

"The old minister is not familiar with the river fortifications. ”

"Hehe," the Queen Mother sneered again, and raised her fingers lightly, "Okay, Elder Ge shouldn't be sloppy anymore, you and I both know that the river boats have capsized year after year, and they can't get rid of the Tian family." ”

"Mother-"

Zhong Xuanchong was startled and wanted to get up again, but was immediately motioned by the Queen Mother to sit down.

"Over the years, the treasury has been constantly empty, and the old man has been scolding the mourning family in his heart. ”

"The old minister didn't dare. ”

"Alright," said the Queen Mother, raising her voice, "the mourning family is also tired, and I don't want to talk around this circle anymore." Today, I am looking for the elder pavilion, I just want to ask the elder pavilion, but I know how many rivers and rivers have been swallowed by Tian Laosan and the shipwrecked?"

"It's-"

"Ge Lao is not a pedantic person, I told the mourning family that your family in this big week will be better. ”

Zhong Xuanchong waved his old sweat again.

It turns out that you have an uneven distribution of spoils, and if you want to dismantle the stage in private, you will use us as a gun!

Just when Zhong Xuanchong listened to the words of the Queen Mother and talked about how to investigate the capsize of the river. On the outside side of the palace, it is only a cut shorter than the palace wall, and it is also surrounded by high walls.

The fourth in command of the cabinet, Lang Tian Heng, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was sitting on his favorite red lacquered Nanmu Taishi chair, leisurely sipping a cup of tea, and then glanced down, and hurried to see him, the second son who was fidgeting.

"How many times have I said you, be steady in trouble. Look at you, what you think in your heart is fully revealed, this has to be seen by people, and no one can defeat you. ”

"Father," Tian Shaojing, the fifth lang of the Tian family, couldn't sit still, and stood up suddenly, "You don't look at what's going on, that Huang Minggang took Xin'er to see the Queen Mother, and in a blink of an eye, the Queen Mother summoned Old Man Zhong into the palace, what does this mean." The Queen Mother knew the exact number, and wondered in her heart, if she didn't look for you as the father of the in-laws as soon as possible, she went to find the old man Zhong who disagreed with her politics, obviously she didn't trust us anymore, and she was going to fight against us. The child is not unstable, I didn't move on the outside, and I just told the San Lang of the Yushi Cheng family that I would go to the peony garden to enjoy the game together. Only in front of you, father, is the child anxious. ”

Hearing this, they were all spoiled by themselves, Tian Heng sighed in his heart, waved his hand and asked his second son to sit down.

"You think that if there is no such thing, the Queen Mother will trust us. ”

Tian Shaojing was unconvinced: "No matter what, our Tian family and the Queen Mother and her Wang family are also close to each other, so they are connected, she doesn't believe us, but she can still believe in the old man Zhong." ”

"No, she doesn't believe anybody. Tian Heng chuckled, "In the heart of the Queen Mother, she only believes in one word." ”

"What word?"

"Leigh!"

Tian Shaojing pursed his lips: "What benefits can old man Zhong bring to the Queen Mother?"

"The number one in the household department, why is it not profitable. ”

"Come less, Old Man Zhong can bear the reputation of being honest, and the whole family has hundreds of people, and they live on a few acres of ancestral fields and a few shops. The boy tried to catch his leak, but his whole family was ironclad and couldn't find a crack. Even the fragrant thing of Zhong Laosi last year, my father knew that they deliberately made it for the Queen Mother to see. What benefits can the Queen Mother get from him? ”

"Listen to what you have to say, childish mentality, short-sightedness. said that you are not as good as the four sons of the Zhong family, but you are still not convinced. ”

"Father," Tian Shaojing was unhappy, "You say this again, how can the child not be compared to Zhong Laosi, who has nothing to do and knows the love of his children." ”

"That's it," Tian Heng shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, let's just talk about the Queen Mother's summoning of Zhong Lao'er today, doesn't the Queen Mother know that the Zhong family has a political disagreement with her, and she won't get any benefits from them." ”

"Hmm-"

Of course the Queen Mother knows. Tian Heng didn't wait for his son to gossip, and then said, "But what she wants is the good in the big picture, the roots of their Wang family have been ruined by her unsuccessful brothers over the years." The Wang family has not fallen yet, and it is only the Queen Mother who relies on it. The boss of the Wang family clearly has military power, and he is a hussar general from the first grade, hehe, but a person who can't even read this military book can't read the words clearly, what can he do. Over the years, the Queen Mother is not completely unaware of what our Tian Fang family has done behind the back of the Wang family, but even if she knows, relying on her brothers who are not angry, they can't do anything to us, so she has endured it. Only today, it seems that the matter is big, and she can't help it anymore. And looking at the entire court, the only one who can face our Tianfang family is Zhong Lao'er. The Queen Mother wanted to marry the second princess to the fourth child of the Zhong family a few years ago, also because of this reason. ”

"So what, the marriage was not even mentioned before it was disrupted by the Zhong family, and the queen mother is not angry with the Zhong family yet. ”

Tian Heng sighed: "No matter how angry I am, the Zhong family didn't grab the Wang family's money. But we robbed it, which is the most important thing in the eyes of the Queen Mother. ”

"This is considered a robbery?" Tian Shaojing's face was not poor, "Jiangnan's matter, don't their Wang family get any benefits? Give them a little less, that is because they are incompetent." Her queen mother didn't want to think about it, how many things were at stake, if it weren't for our Tian family and Fang family, if it weren't for our Tian family and Fang family, let the stupid people of the Wang family do it, they would have been arrested by the first emperor eight hundred years ago, and they still have to wait until now! Their Wang family has not done anything, and the benefits have not been reduced over the years, we just concealed some of them and gave them less, she was not convinced, and she wanted to join Old Man Zhong and us to do it. I don't want to think about it, if there is no Tianfang family standing in front of her and helping her support her all these years, relying on her incompetent and powerless Wang family, and without the companionship of the emperor and grandson, she can always sit firmly in the position of the queen and become the queen mother justifiably. If it weren't for us, she would have been deposed many years ago, and now she may not know which one is staying in the cold palace, and she still has the strength to argue with us. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, no matter what, now her Queen Mother is already sitting in this position. The emperor has no power, and the queen mother holds real power in the court. No matter how incompetent the Wang family is, it is also the queen mother's mother's family. In this matter, we really intercepted the sore spot of the Queen Mother. Tian Heng shouted.

"Father!"

Tian Heng waved his hand, and then said: "Zhong Xuanchong is a loyal minister, and the biggest characteristic of a loyal minister is that he will never rebel. As long as the Queen Mother is still in that position, no matter how dissatisfied he is with the Queen Mother, as long as the Emperor does not speak, he will obey the Queen Mother's will. He is the second assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the household department, and Hu Yansong's old man is not at all different, and he is an absolute capable minister. To do things, with the queen mother's sword above, it is really not good for us. ”

Tian Shaojing was stunned and said, "Then what are we going to do now, find Old Man Fang to talk about it?"

"Fang Wenzheng?" As soon as Tian Heng heard this, he couldn't be angry no matter how calm he was, his nostrils smoked, and he snorted: "I told him a long time ago, no matter how much you look down on the people of the Wang family, you can't do too much to the Wang family, and if you lose the heart of the queen mother, it will be bad for any of us." But the old man just didn't listen, and the whole thing was in the eyes of money. stunned to say that the queen mother is in the deep palace, and all sources outside the palace can only rely on her daughter, and nothing will happen. Now it's okay, the Queen Mother finally knows what she has been deceived all these years, see what he says. ”

"What can he say, if he wants him to spit out the money, will he be willing?"

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing. ”

"Do you really want to spit out money?" Tian Shaojing asked a little stupidly.

Tian Heng glared at his son: "What, don't you want to?"

"Father," Tian Shaojing said hurriedly, "it's not a question of whether we are willing to give up the money or not." As soon as the Queen Mother got the news, she summoned Old Man Zhong, and it was clear that she was going to deal with us. Let's still say that we will spit out the money, and forget the money, look at this frame, maybe the money is gone, and our head will be sent to her knife. ”

Tian Heng shook his head: "Zhong Xuanchong is a loyal minister, he is loyal to Da Zhou, not the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother herself understands this. She wanted to unite with the Zhong family to deal with us, but she was only in a hurry. She thought that Zhong Xuanchong was in charge of the household department, and what she was most anxious about now was the deficit of the national treasury. As long as he can fill the gap at that time, the rest of the money will still belong to her royal family. Then let's let her understand now that Zhong Lao'er's heart is by no means so small. ”

Tian Shaojing was stunned for a moment, then understood the truth, and asked, "Then how can we make her understand?"

Tian Heng thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow is every Friday, and Master Fang is just resting. You will keep watch on the road early tomorrow morning, and secretly contact her, and ask her to come to Uke tomorrow at noon. ”

"Father looking for Fang Xinyi?"

"Yes. ”

"What can she do?"

Tian Heng sneered: "Since someone else has the heart to send an account book to the Queen Mother, then we might as well study and send a copy too." ”

Tian Shaojing was puzzled: "Ledger? Father has other ledgers? Could it be that the number of accounts that the third child of the Chen family showed me is not the real number in Jianghe?"

Tian Heng looked at the second son with a puzzled face, and his eyes were mixed with injustice, and he was amused.

"What do you think there is left?"

"Didn't Father say—"

Without waiting for the second son to finish speaking, Tian Heng grabbed the conversation and reprimanded: "You don't care about the things on the other side of the river, is it true that if you can't see the account book, you don't have a number in your heart?"

Of course, my son knew it. Tian Shaojing thought for a while, "Well, the number deleted from the account that Chen Laosan showed me, as far as I know, really doesn't look like it's fake." ”

"That's it, that's true. ”

"Then Chen Laosan and Huang Ming, how did they get these true numbers?"

Tian Heng waved his hand: "This is not the key now, I will talk about it later." Now the key is the Queen Mother. ”

Tian Shaojing nodded and asked again: "Father said that he would send another one to the Queen Mother?" But the account book that Huang Mingna got was the same as Chen Laosan's. Does my father want to make another fake number, but the Queen Mother has seen the real number, can this deceive her?"

Tian Heng glared at his son: "I said to send a copy, do you have to send it to Jiang Hena." ”

Tian Shaojing was puzzled: "If you don't send the river, do you want to send it-"

"The books of the household. ”
