Zheng Yongduan's solemnity, I saw that his expression was solemn, and he knelt down in the hall with his robe, and Zhao Heng was about to open his mouth to call him up to reply, but he had already taken out a piece of the recital from his arms and held it up above his head.

As soon as Zhao Heng raised his hand slightly, Wei Jin had already stepped down to the palace to pick it up, and when Zhao Heng looked at the recital, his expression changed from shocked and puzzled to wrinkling his eyebrows and thinking deeply, causing the ministers in the palace to look at each other, and secretly guessed in their hearts what Zheng Yong played, which provoked the Son of Heaven to do so.

"Are you saying that you want to join Rong Jiang, rely on your military merits, and disrespect the Son of Heaven?"

Zhao Heng said a word, and His Royal Highness's ministers gasped, especially when talking about Guangyuan, his face was not ugly. Why? The Zheng family and the Qian family are three generations of world friends, and now Zheng Yong's eldest daughter is the daughter of the Qian family, the youngest granddaughter of Qian Zhi, and she is also set to be the wife of the Zheng family's head of the family.

The eight words "self-reliance on military merits and disrespect for the Son of Heaven" are much more powerful than "indulging in the murderous younger brothers", what is the difference between this and Shen Rong Jiang's self-respecting intention to rebel? This Shousuke-sama is really a blockbuster.

But before everyone came back to their senses, Zheng Yong had already spoken: "Yes." ”

Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes, clearly revealing the signal of the displeasure of the Son of Heaven, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you going to sue me for Rong Jiang to support the army?" As if confirmed, he asked again, "Zheng Qing has been in the dynasty for decades, you can think clearly before you go back." ”

Even Rong Ji, who has always been respectful, rarely showed a trace of panic, but he heard Zheng Yong reply unhurriedly: "What the minister refers to is that she killed the three princes of Xirong in front of the battle this time, not to participate in her self-respect." When he looked up again, he saw that Zhao Heng was squeezing the watch in his hand very tightly, and there was a great posture of smashing it down, but he didn't panic, and still said calmly, "The news of the victory came back to Kyoto, and everyone only said that her big defeat to Xirong's morale this time was a great achievement, but they didn't think that after this battle, if she wanted to negotiate peace with Xirong, it would be difficult to reach the sky." Although Daye is now rich and the people are strong, do you want to fight with Xirong all the time? Have you thought about the people on the border? Saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Rong Jiang, "You are young but you only think about meritorious service on the battlefield, have you ever considered the consequences of this matter?" Besides, have you returned to His Majesty in advance, please bow down. I still remember the first time you put on your armor and set out on the battle, your grandfather repeatedly told you to think twice about everything, and not to be greedy for merit," as if he was very angry, and his voice, which had been very flat, suddenly rose a few points, "I see that you don't remember half a word in your heart!" It's a disappointment for your grandfather! ”

Rong Jiang opened his mouth, but did not speak. Everyone just smacked their tongues in their hearts, and said in their hearts that this Zheng Yong is really not simple, no wonder he can be the first assistant minister, just a few simple words, the original jealousy of the Son of Heaven to support the army, said that it was caused by Rong Jiang's young Meng Lang's greed.

But this matter can be said to be light, but it can also be serious. Zheng Yong said that there is no refutation - the two armies are fighting in front of the battle, Rong Jiang, as the commander of the three armies, where can he divide his mind and return to Beijing to ask for an order, does he have to get the approval of His Majesty Xià before he can cut off the heads of the three princes of Xirong? The shape of the battlefield is changing rapidly, and she will not have time to wait for the Son of Heaven to give her will, and she must seize the best opportunity to disrupt the enemy's deployment in one fell swoop in order to ensure that this victory is foolproof.

However, Zheng Yong joined her today, and there was really nothing to refute. Because of this matter, she is indeed the first to cut and then play, and the people who are fighting against her are not ordinary generals, as Zheng Yong said, if Zhao Heng wants to make peace with Xirong in order to preserve national strength, it is probably necessary to push her to the king of Xirong and cut her down, so that there is nothing to talk about.

Zhao Heng looked at Rong Jiang and saw that she was a little wary, stretched out his hand to point at her, and asked her to kneel in front of the hall: "Elder Zheng Ge has come to you, what do you have to say?" ”

This is undoubtedly an extremely smart emperor, because Zheng Yong's involvement can be big or small, so he asked Rong Jiang to talk about it himself. He didn't want to open his mouth to reprimand Rong Jiang or even punish her, and spread it out to the people of the world to say that he would not tolerate meritorious officials, but he didn't want to let go of an opportunity to suppress Rong Jiang like this. If Rong Jiang made a mistake when he replied, then he just took the opportunity to punish her, and it was also her gaffe to say it.

Rong Ji on the side stood outside, but before he could speak, Zhao Heng angrily reprimanded him back: "I am asking Gu Ninghou, Rong Qing doesn't care about it, it will be chaotic, and the rules of this Taiji Hall will be messed up!" ”

Rong Jiang went through several times in his heart, and finally raised his head to meet Zhao Heng's scrutinizing gaze, knelt down without humility or arrogance, and said calmly: "Zheng Ge Lao is involved, the minister really has nothing to defend, but if he does it again on the battlefield, the minister will still choose to cut first and then play." ”

Zhao Heng laughed back, and said "yes" three times in a row, no one guessed what he was thinking for a while, but he pointed at Rong Jiang, and his eyes were almost overflowing with murderous intent: "You are not my generalissimo!" ”

Rong Jiang didn't take this sentence as a compliment, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes several times, glanced at Zheng Yong who was kneeling in front of him, and saw that he was still kneeling straight, and made up her mind in her heart. She kowtowed three times to Zhao Heng, made a big salute, and only after the salute was finished did she straighten up and take off the order talisman hanging around her waist, and then bowed to the ground and held it high, "This matter is known to the minister, please take back the command of the three armies." ”

She didn't say she was guilty, she only admitted that it was a mistake, Zhao Heng looked at the talisman made of mutton fat and white jade in her hand and didn't speak, and Wei Jin naturally didn't dare to rashly go down to the palace to collect the things in her hand. The Taiji Hall was extremely silent, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard, in such a situation of confrontation between monarchs and ministers, no one dared to speak, no one dared to come forward to intercede, for fear of getting into trouble and leading the wrath of the Son of Heaven to himself.

After a cup of tea had passed, someone outside the Taiji Hall knelt and replied, only saying that the Queen Mother asked Gu Ninghou when he would return to Luan and set off before driving.

Zhao Heng laughed angrily, and as soon as he raised his hand, he had already smashed Zheng Yong's recital to Rong Jiang's feet, and shouted "Wei Jin", and Wei Jin immediately went down to the palace to collect the order. Zhao Heng looked at Rong Jiang and said to her word by word: "You can quit, my Guning Hou." ”

But when Rong Jiang stepped out of the Taiji Hall with one foot, she heard Zhao Heng give an order to the ministers behind her, and only said, "Although Guning Hou Rong Jiang cut first and then played, but this time he went to the military power, and I thought that she had just retired to Xirong, so she was meritorious, and she was ordered to resign Rong Jiang from her position in the army, and in the future, she would not be able to participate in politics without a job, stay in Yecheng, and not go out without the emperor's order." ”

Rong Jiang couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and stepped out of the Taiji Hall without half nostalgia.

The sunlight outside the Taiji Hall was just right, sprinkling on Rong Jiang, dragging her shadow for a long time. She stood and looked up at the sky in all directions, her eyes flowed with a little unwillingness and a little eagerness, until the little yellow door next to her trembled and urged her, she went all the way to Yongding Gate, and then did not look back at the Taiji Palace, maybe relieved, or maybe disdainful.
