In Yongfeng Fang, the Zheng family and others waited in front of their homes to greet the visiting Royal Highness the Acting King.

After entering the middle hall and taking their seats, Zheng Rong had a wry smile on his face, and took the lead in speaking: "I really can't imagine that I am just a villager, I only have a humble grade in the matter, my education is not deep enough, and my reputation is inevitably shallow. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled and said: "The father-in-law is too modest, although the court officials are thorough, but it is inevitable that they will lose their talents." The reason why the courtiers made words and recommendations must also be able to see the unknown talent endowment of the father-in-law. ”

When Zheng Rong heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "When you go back to a young time, you may still have a few crazy thoughts that are difficult to use, and those who have obtained it now can only be cautious and self-controlled." If it weren't for the little girl in the family who was named the king, how would the world know who Zheng Rong was?

Fang Jinji has a strong demonic atmosphere, and he is not happy enough to enter, and he is not sad enough to retreat, and it is far from being able to deal with it calmly by a man who is accustomed to living in the countryside. The relationship has been solidified, honor and disgrace are self-contained, and it is still necessary to rely on His Royal Highness to give more advice, and dare not be conceited and covetous, and covet a temporary position. ”

Hearing his father-in-law say this, Li Tong was quite relieved, and at the same time, his mood became quite complicated. On the one hand, he couldn't stand some of his grandmother's methods, and on the other hand, he had to admit that his grandmother really put her heart into choosing a princess for him, at least in this regard, she really considered him very much.

The courtiers recommended Zheng Rong to be a noble in the current situation, of course, they had some bad intentions.

One is nothing more than confusing the public, confusing the relationship between each other through this one thing, so that Shi Liu, especially his grandmother, cannot clearly judge the relationship between the two parties. Then when attacking his fourth uncle and a series of courtiers, it is inevitable that there will be some concerns and reservations.

Second, as Zheng Rong said, his qualifications are not high, and he is suddenly promoted to such a noble position as a young eunuch in Lintai, which will inevitably cause criticism. It must be known that even when Li Tong was appointed as a young prisoner of Lintai by his grandmother, he had to suffer a lot of verbal attacks.

Although Zheng Rong was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, his resume has only served as a county magistrate twice, and he has never even served in the court.

If Zheng Rong wants to sit firmly in this position and strengthen ties and contacts with those courtiers who recommended him, this is what is bound to happen.

So this time Li Tong came to the door, originally wanting Zheng Rong to give up this appointment, be content with his duty, and not rashly get involved in the court disputes. After all, he will not be in the Shendu for the next period of time, and even if any variables occur, it will be difficult to deal with them in time.

However, hearing that Zheng Rong was still able to be cautious and self-contained under such circumstances, and was not stimulated by the sudden decline in vanity, Li Tong was also relieved, and at the same time, his thoughts also changed.

"The father-in-law was born in a famous family in Henan, with his own character and self-control. These few cases alone have surpassed the mediocre ministers in the court. Having been favored by the courtiers and the court, there is no need to be timid. ”

Since Di Renjie and the others dare to continue to arch the fire, if Li Tong should not, he will seem to have no confidence. If he is asked to contribute, it is natural to think about it, but since he took the initiative to send such a noble official position to the door, he simply laughed at it.

Originally, he was also thinking about what kind of position he should arrange if his father-in-law was introduced into the court bureau. The scope of consideration is the Shilin beauty position such as Lintai or Guozijian, but he does not dare to seek the four-grade generality, but the five-grade official position such as Shulang or Guozijian Dr. Chengjun.

Such a position is not too conspicuous, but also can give full play to the influence of the Zheng family in Xingyang in the current situation, and can also avoid the shortcomings of Zheng Rongwang's lack of resume. However, since Di Renjie and Zheng Rong are on the fourth grade, they might as well respond, who would think that the official is too big?

Hearing that the acting king also suggested that Zheng Rong accept this appointment, Zheng Rong still frowned slightly, but the eyebrows of the other Zheng family members in the hall were stretched, and their faces showed joy.

Their Xingyang Zheng clan has indeed been lonely for a long time in the current situation, and there are few representative figures standing in the court, and a noble and prominent position like Lintai has a great temptation for them.

Zheng Rong raised his hand to retreat from the other family members, and then looked at Li Tong and said in a condensed voice: "I was idle before, or I still have one or two self-conscious thoughts. But after settling in Shendu, he also knew the difficulties of establishing the world. I am not ashamed of being inexpensive, I only hope that the internal and external family affairs can be calm......"

If the previous power struggle at the top was too far away for a family like him, but now that he has such a friendship with the acting king, Zheng Rong also knows how sinister the water of the divine capital is. Even the vicious fight that broke out at the time of the wedding also made Zheng Rong not dare to be optimistic about everything.

He was worried that the acting king would misunderstand that he was greedy for Qinggui, so he said this, so he simply expressed his mind more bluntly.

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled and said: "Although I was born in a heavenly family, my life experience is not lacking in perverse and miserable, and I don't need to say anything about it. Now although it is shallow, it is too weak to be attached, but I dare not look deeply. The so-called golden cup is a total of drinks, the white blades are not forgiving, the thick night does not dare to fall asleep, and the drunk still wakes up for three minutes, and it is also a bitter hope that the humerus can be close to the life of the plan! ”

When Zheng Rong heard this, his demeanor was also slightly moved, and he bowed his hand after a while: "A few days ago, I was afraid that His Highness would be young and strong, or it would be inevitable that he would be arrogant and unguarded, so he could only resist with a cautious attitude. The more you know each other, you realize that you are shallow. Zheng Rong may not be a weapon, but it is definitely not just selling women for glory, the power is already enjoying, and he will never be stingy! Honor and disgrace together, don't make two thoughts! ”

Li Tong nodded heavily after hearing this, and analyzed the reasons why Di Renjie and others recommended Zheng Rong, and then said: "Since people's hearts have this burning thought, the father-in-law lives in a noble place. Or there are things to disturb people, and if you want to keep it, I am afraid that you need to do something against your will.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor has long had the heart to seal Zen, but because there is no old ritual to follow in Songshan, it has not been able to reach a discussion for a long time. After the father-in-law enters Lintai, if he can deeply search and compile a new ceremony, although the crowd is boiling, it will not harm the father-in-law in the slightest! ”

After Zheng Rong listened, he frowned again, and was silent for a while before raising his head and said: "Quan Mingjuelu, I have already shared, how dare I be withdrawn and narrow-minded and pretentious." Your Highness, please rest assured, after the incident, I just stuck to this discussion, and I did not listen to foreign affairs. ”

Hearing Zheng Rong's statement, Li Tong was also relieved.

Although it is also important for Zheng Rongshun to ascend to the throne, what is more important is what to do after ascending to the throne. When it comes to the embarrassing situation in the current situation, there is no more than Prime Minister Doulu Qinwang, but Doulu Qinwang relied on his extraordinary licking skills to still be able to stay in the political hall when Wei Yuanzhong was excluded from the court.

After agreeing with Zheng Rong, Li Tong said that he would take time to introduce him to his former members in Lintai, such as Ma Huaisu, Yuan Xingchong and others. With the assistance and help of these people, Zheng Rong can also enter the role as soon as possible.

After meeting Zheng Rong, Li Tong took the time to meet Yang Li again, and instructed Yang Li to suspend some business activities in Shendu, and it was best to return to Xijing Chang'an first under the pretext of checking the flying money. At the same time, he also told Yang Li to tell Yang Xianzong and Li Ge to keep them vigilant and be ready to take over the family members of the forbidden middle school at any time.

Similar arrangement, he also revealed to his father-in-law Tang Xiuzhong that if the demonic atmosphere in Shendu City is blazing again, it has reached the point where basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed, then it is necessary to be prepared to make a decision and pull the personnel arrangements here in Shendu City back to Xijing.

Hearing Li Tong say so seriously, Yang Li's eyes couldn't help but be slightly red, and she held his arm and said in a condensed voice: "Where His Royal Highness is, where the concubine is!" Your Royal Highness can't do it, and the concubine won't go alone for a day! ”

Li Tong sighed after hearing this, stroked the girl's delicate and resolute face and said: "This is only the worst plan in case of anything, but as long as there is such a possibility, you must not worry about it." The princess and others are all forbidden, so you can't travel rashly. Fortunately, the lady still has a little bit of calmness at the moment, you go to Xijing first, which also allows me to have a little less human concerns when planning the future. ”

When Yang Li heard this, she just hugged Li Tong's shoulders and silently responded, obviously making up her mind.

When Li Tong saw her like this, he also felt helpless, and after a little silence, he said again: "In any case, during the time I am away from the capital, the lady can no longer pay attention to the capital." Not only is the demon atmosphere in the ban worrying, King Liang and others have been greedy for money and benefits for a long time, and they know that the lady is quite involved in this. If I wasn't in Kinai, they might not be able to hide their greed. Since the lady is reluctant to go to Xijing, she might as well go to Bianzhou first, buy grain and rice in Bianzhou first, store it secretly along the river, and wait for the time to ship. ”

Rich and powerful, people are naturally strong-spirited. In previous years, Li Tong was also in trouble for a long time, and the crisis he faced was even worse than the immediate one, but he did not have enough strength to make all preparations.

But now that we have this power, we don't have to rely on others to do or not do our own safety. This time, Zhong Shaojing returned to the capital, ostensibly to escort 300,000 yuan into the palace treasury, but secretly there were 200,000 yuan for personal use.

Since Xijing has been taken as a retreat, it is natural to make corresponding preparations. In today's Guanzhong, the production environment is very bad, if there is not enough food reserves, even if you return to Xijing, you will inevitably be shut down and beaten by people.

If it was before, as much as 200,000 yuan of huge money, it would not be easy to spend it in a short time. But now, the reform of the canal transportation is mainly presided over by officials of Li Tong's department, and with the support of the officials, it is possible to convert money and silk into grain along the canal.

Of course, such a large amount of money and grain changes will certainly not be able to operate without a trace, but now that the DPRK and China are anxious, it is difficult to keep a close eye on foreign affairs.

Even if the court situation is stable in the future, the court will conduct a deep investigation, but at that time, Lao Tzu wanted people and grain, so he naturally did what he said!

At that time, even if there are still people who want to maliciously target Li Tong, what needs to be considered is not whether the acting king is guilty or not, but whether the acting king will flip the table, and with deterrence, he will have the initiative!
