"The minister is naturally loyal to the emperor." Zheng Yechuan only hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and replied.

"That's good. It's up to you to do one thing right now. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Kill the king of Mingzhou."

"Huh?"

Zheng Yechuan's heart almost didn't jump out. What does that mean? Royal self-harm? Although the king of Mingzhou has not returned to the capital, he has never made a mistake, why did the emperor kill the king of Mingzhou?

Besides, he is a civil official, how can he have the power to kill a prince?

"Zheng Aiqing can't do it?"

"Your Majesty. The minister is just a civil official, and he has no soldiers under him, how can he kill a prince? Zheng Yechuan smiled bitterly.

Actually, he didn't tell the truth. Even if he has no soldiers in his hands, but with the guards in the palace and the emperor's holy decree, he can still take down the king of Mingzhou. The reason why he is unwilling to do it is that he does not want to come out and become an excuse for political enemies to attack him in the future.

He is not from the Zongren Mansion, where does he have the power to dispose of a prince? That is the power that only King Min, the patriarch of the clan and the emperor, has. If he obeys the emperor's words, it will be an act of overstepping his authority, and the people of the royal family will hate him to death.

Liang Jia secretly sighed in disappointment, and then said, "I can transfer a team of guards to cooperate with you." ”

"Minister......

"No more talk, I'll leave the matter to you. In three days, I want to see the king of Mingzhou enter the prison. ”

Zheng Yechuan walked out of the Chongning Hall with a bitter heart, and finally forgot what he was going to say when he came over.

When he left the palace and the palace door was locked, he cleaned up his mood and turned around.

When I got home, I was surprised to find that Mo Jinjun was not at the gate of the house, and the house was not searched. When the remaining group of soldiers saw him return, they left.

But Zheng Yechuan didn't have any relaxed look, so his family closed the door and was alone in the study in a daze.

The emperor's move has a deep meaning, and it is not a simple killing of the king of Mingzhou at all.

Now the king of Mingzhou and the king of Min, the king of Fuzhou and other clan nobles are mixed together every day, what is the intention, the lice on the monk's head are obvious. Killing the king of Mingzhou came to deter the kings, and he also came to scare the snakes.

If King Min rebelled after the death of King Mingzhou, it would definitely not succeed, and then he would have to be punished by the emperor.

If King Min doesn't rebel, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do in the later period.

But, what about him Zheng Yechuan? One is from the royal family, and the other will be liquidated later, if someone pushes the trouble, it is very likely that he will not have a good reputation in Shilin.

Killing three birds with one stone, the emperor was shrewd.

Zheng Yechuan was thinking wildly here, but in Liang Jia's view, it was actually a simple revenge, and he didn't have such a deep mind at all.

Although he didn't know who was behind the assassination of Lin Han, it was possible that fifty percent of them were those princes, and the most annoying of them was King Mingzhou.

Don't look at the fact that the King of Mingzhou is following King Min every day, and everything is headed by King Min, as if he wants to help King Min ascend the throne, but in fact, this guy is very insidious, and the means behind him are much more powerful than King Min's ambitious and talented guy.

According to the news found by Invite Yue, King Min's army was hiding a hundred miles away from the capital, and this was the agreement between King Min and King Mingzhou. However, the army of the king of Mingzhou played a trick, leaving 10,000 people with the king of Min, and more than 30,000 people came from nowhere to hide in a valley in the northwest of the capital.

If it weren't for the people of the King of Mingzhou who sent things over in private, Ying Yue and Liang Jia would have thought that the King of Mingzhou was sincerely helping King Min to ascend the throne.

This guy not only secretly hid troops in the suburbs of the capital, but also secretly made friends with many courtiers, many of whom were some noble officials who were not looked down upon by others before, but could speak. These people can't bring benefits, but they can bring him fame and righteousness after the deed.

If it was considered a rebellion by others, it would have to be a little bit of a siege of the city, but the royal family rebelled, attacked the palace, and killed the emperor and those who were finally the emperor, and the matter was more than half successful.

After all, in the eyes of many officials, whoever is the emperor is not the emperor, anyway, they are all royal people.

Therefore, the king of Mingzhou must die.

It's nothing to kill the king of Mingzhou, but the emperor can't come directly, and when the time comes, it will inevitably fall under the pretext of the people who killed the royal family, after all, the king of Mingzhou did not show his intention to rebel.

But Zheng Yechuan can do it, he is a civil official, and it is not too easy to concoct some crimes, and it makes people speechless.

"Daddy!" A shout interrupted the pensive Zheng Yechuan.

Turning around, Zheng Yechuan showed a hint of a smile.

"Lan Xin, why haven't you slept yet?"

"My daughter can't rest assured, I'm afraid that the previous killers will come back to search." Zheng Lanxin looked angry.

"It's okay. Rest early. ”

"Dad, when you entered the palace to see the emperor, were you reprimanded by the emperor or demoted? Why do you look sad? Zheng Lanxin asked.

"Not at all. It's not that the Liu family has been coming to propose marriage recently, my father is really annoyed, so I want to really tell you a kiss. Zheng Yechuan turned the topic to Zheng Lanxin's family affairs.

Hearing that his father talked about his family affairs, Zheng Lanxin blushed and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, how old is my daughter, you just want to send your daughter out like this?" ”

"You're seventeen years old, and you're a big girl. Look at other families, you are so old, the children are one or two years old, are they still young? ”

Zheng Lanxin didn't dare to stiffen her mouth, twisted her body, and asked, "Which family did my father fall in love with?" ”

"Which son?" Zheng Yechuan was also stunned.

He just casually told his daughter where he had a favorite candidate. However, if he promised the emperor to kill the king of Mingzhou, he could send Zheng Lanxin into the palace to show his loyalty. It also happened to be the death of Liu Zhongzhi's alliance.

However, this decision was not so easy to make.

"Daddy! Are you talking? Seeing that his father was suddenly in a daze, Zheng Lan's heart was coquettish, and her voice was sweet, which was too different from the appearance of galloping on the street and fighting with people before.

"That, Lan Xin, Dad wants to send you to the palace, are you willing?"

"Into the palace?" Zheng Lanxin didn't react at once, and when she understood, her expression immediately changed.

"Daddy? Why? Zheng Lanxin already had tears in her eyes.

If it is a girl from an ordinary family, it may be a blessing to be able to enter the palace. But the children of high-ranking officials like her are used to seeing too many inner house struggles, and they also understand how cruel the struggle in the harem of the Heavenly Family is, unless they are forced to do so, it is impossible for them to agree to enter the palace.

Seeing Zheng Lanxin's reluctant look, Zheng Yechuan hurriedly reached out and stroked her head, comforting: "Dad is just a confused idea for a while. How could Daddy make you like that deep palace? ”

"Dad, are you in trouble?" Thinking of his father's sad face before, Zheng Lanxin seemed to think of something.

"There is a little, but it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with whether you enter the palace or not."

"That's weird! It must be the emperor who is embarrassed by his father. ”

"It's really fine. By the way, Liu Meng said last time that after you had a fight with his eldest brother, his eldest brother disappeared, did you hide it? Zheng Yechuan suddenly started a different topic.
