The accusation against Wang Maozhong for forming a party for personal gain has been well known in the palace, but Tang Xuanzong only knew that the occupation of the fields outside the city was indeed related to Wang Maozhong, and there was no other evidence to prove Wang Maozhong's heinous crime. And Tang Xuanzong also remembered the old love, and he didn't want to put Wang Maozhong in prison, he wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

At this time, in Wang Maozhong's mansion, Wang Maozhong was pacing in the inner room, Wang Maozhong knew that his affairs had been exposed, and he didn't know which subordinate he was, and he actually betrayed himself. Wang Maozhong kept thinking about it, and Ge Fushun next to him watched Wang Maozhong pacing back and forth, a little irritable.

Ge Fushun and Wang Maozhong were both high-ranking officials at this time, and Ge Fushun often advised Wang Maozhong that this was the way of the official to be moderate, and not to be too greedy. But Wang Maozhong didn't listen to it at all, but fought against Ge Fushun every time.

This time caused trouble, Ge Fushun estimated that Wang Maozhong was in trouble, and at this time Ge Fushun also thought of a solution to this matter, on the one hand, he wanted to ask for guilt in front of His Majesty, and on the other hand, he wanted to resolve the contradiction with the people.

And it is particularly important to ask for guilt in front of His Majesty, and only if His Majesty forgives him from the bottom of his heart can this matter be settled. And those people are easy to solve, as long as the fields are returned and the money is appeased, it is not a problem.

Ge Fushun got up from the chair at this time and said, "I have a plan to be safe, as long as you bribe Gao Lishi or Yang Siqiao, the two generals of the prison guards, and let them speak in front of Your Majesty, this disaster will definitely be solved." ”

"Is it that effective?" Wang Maozhong looked skeptical. At this time, Ge Fushun said: "Yes, who do you think Your Majesty trusts the most?" It's not these two yet, and in my opinion, as long as you make these two happy, Your Majesty will definitely not be held accountable. ”

Wang Maozhong's heart has also begun to loosen, since this matter can be settled, bribery is not a problem. Wang Maozhong asked: "Then I will enter the palace at this time and meet Yang Siqiao and Gao Lishi." ”

"Wait, you must not be seen when you enter the palace this time, and you must not leak the news, if you leak the news, and then add the crime of bribery, it will be even more disadvantageous."

Wang Maozhong replied: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely do nothing when I enter the palace this time." ”

Ge Fushun sent Wang Maozhong out of the house, and gave a few more instructions, and then he also took a sedan chair to prepare to return to the house. On the way, he was still a little worried about Wang Maozhong, Wang Maozhong has never been too cautious in doing things, if he enters the palace this time is noticed by someone with a heart, it will be an extraneous branch.

When he was thinking about it, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, Ge Fushun poked his head out, and was about to scold the person who carried the sedan chair, but saw a person shouting in front of him, Ge Fushun saw that this person was holding a land deed in his hand, so he was a little suspicious, and listened to this person shouting: "Huo Guo Gong Mao Zhong privately occupied the good land outside Chang'an City that belonged to the farmers, so that those farmers are now miserable, everyone imagine how many good people will suffer such a catastrophe if this continues." ”

Ge Fushun walked out of the sedan chair, wanting to see who was preaching this on the street, and after taking a few steps forward, he heard this person again: "Now the title deed is in my hands, everyone can see it." "Everyone can see it clearly, and it is indeed true.

Ge Fushun couldn't help but feel shocked, why did this person have the title deed established by Wang Maozhong forcing the people, this Wang Maozhong is so unreliable? Such an important piece of evidence would fall into the hands of others.

When he was thinking about it, the crowd turned from the discussion just now to a reprimand, Ge Fushun looked at the chaotic noise in front of him, and shouted: "Who are you who are making a big fuss here, just by virtue of your fake title deed, you can participate in the defeat of the important ministers of the court?" If you want me to tell you to disperse the people quickly, don't make trouble, and when Jin Wuwei's soldiers come, you won't be able to get out of it. ”

"In Xia Lu Zheng, you must be Geng Guogong."

Ge Fushun wondered: "Why do you know me? ”

Lu Zheng walked out of the crowd at this time and said: "Everyone knows that Geng Guogong and Huo Guogong are married, and now they are the best people in Chang'an City, except for Emperor Zaifu, I am afraid that no one can compare with them." ”

Lu Zheng walked towards Ge Fushun again, and the guard next to him pulled out his sword and said, "Since you know that this is Geng Guogong, don't get any closer." ”

Ge Fushun reprimanded his subordinates: "It's okay, I, a military general who was born and died, will still be afraid of this young son, you all retreat." ”

Lu Zheng also stopped at this time and arched his hand and said: "Wang Maozhong and Guogong, you are in-laws, so you have objections to my testimony against Wang Maozhong's crime. ”

"It seems that you came prepared, what about that title deed? Why is it in your hands? ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the heinous crime committed by Wang Maozhong, but I can explain the reason." ”

Ge Fushun was a little impatient when he heard this, so he said to the guards: "Go up and capture this person alive, I want to live." ”

The guards went up with knives and slashed at Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng deftly dodged away, although Lu Zheng's martial arts were mediocre, he was still agile. Of course, these guards are not vegetarians, and after a slash, Lu Zheng was stabbed, although it was only a slight knife, but it was really unbearable.

At this time, blood flowed down from Lu Zheng's arm and dripped on the ground continuously, and the onlookers were a little stunned, but the guards still did not give up, and continued to slash towards Lu Zheng, and when they were about to touch Lu Zheng, Ge Fushun shouted: "It's okay." ”

The guards retreated again, Ge Fushun looked at the injured Lu Zheng, and said: "I saved my life today, I hope you don't make a noise about it, Wang Maozhong is not something you can overthrow, I will collect this title deed for you." ”

Then Ge Fushun took out the title deed from Lu Zheng's sleeve, and continued: "This thing is too dangerous, and it is not something you can hide." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng supported the ground with his hands, watching Ge Fushun leave so proudly, he slowly stood up from the ground, thinking that even if the land deed fell into the hands of others, it would not lose much, it was just a land deed, and Wang Maozhong was not the only one to squeeze the people's fields.

Therefore, if you want to expose Wang Maozhong's oppression of the people, you have to continue to look for evidence, although Wang Maozhong was denounced by his subordinates, but now the situation is not clear, and His Majesty may not be convicted according to the law. And just one subordinate can't make much waves, if you want to bring Wang Maozhong to justice, you must join the ministers to write a letter of impeachment.

At this time, Xue Ne stopped driving the carriage, helped Lu Zheng into the carriage, and said in the carriage: "Why, I asked you not to be in the limelight first, and now it seems that it is accurate." And it's not worth it to be hurt again. ”

Lu Zheng endured the pain and said: "Originally, I just wanted the people of Chang'an City to know that Wang Maozhong was a traitor, but unfortunately there was a fellow party of Wang Maozhong, Ge Fushun. It's true that I'm too anxious, and it's hard to grasp the scale of this impatience. ”

"Ge Fushun and Wang Maozhong are both prominent in the court, these two people are in the same heart, and even if Ge Fushun does not appear today, if you spread such news in the future, it will also invite trouble."

Lu Zheng lowered his head, very annoyed, and said again after a long time: "Then do we want to investigate next, don't want it for the time being, I found that many courtiers now have the intention of overthrowing Wang Maozhong." ”

"Anyone else collecting evidence?"

Xue Ne nodded, and then said: "Wang Maozhong has something to do with many courtiers, and many courtiers who are dissatisfied with him also have complaints. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zheng's mouth, and he asked again: "Wang Mao Zhong is not benevolent, does Xue Jungong think that he has come to an end?" ”

Xue Ne said slowly: "In short, Wang Maozhong is in a disadvantageous position, but the decision is in the hands of His Majesty, we can only wait until the edict comes out, but I have a hunch that Wang Maozhong may turn the danger into a disaster." ”

"So many courtiers have complaints, how can Your Majesty spare him. Even if this person is really meritorious, under the pressure of the ministers, he will be charged. ”

Lu Zheng said angrily, very dissatisfied, but thinking in his heart that His Majesty was still missing the old feelings too much, and this should have been painfully determined, but at this time it became very tender.

At this time, Xue Ne pulled Lu Zheng's hand over, looked at the knife wound and said: "A long history was injured by those guards, this is a joke, and when it reaches the court, it will cause a storm." ”

Lu Zheng put the medicine that Xue Ne gave him, and said, "Thank you Xue Jungong for the medicine." ”

"Don't say thank you between the two of us, you also have this knife wound for the safety of the court, but this is only a flesh wound, which means that Ge Fushun still spared you, and he didn't dare to make it again."

After Xue Ne finished speaking, he moved his eyes to the window of the carriage, the crowd was rubbing shoulders, the carriage stopped and went, Lu Zheng also poked his head out of the window, and suddenly found that this was not the way back to the house, so he exclaimed: "Aren't we going back to the house?" ”

Xue Ne said, "I'll take you to the palace to see Wang Zhonghei." ”

Lu Zheng felt very close to these words, although Wang Haibin had been dead for a long time, but the name of his widowed son sounded very kind at this time. I only know that Wang Zhongji was brought into the palace, but I don't know how he is doing now, although the palace is full of brocade clothes and jade food, but who will take care of this son who has lost his father.

At this time, Lu Zheng said: "Xue Jungong is not worried about Wang Zhonghe's situation? ”

"Uh-huh, I just want to see how he's doing. There is already intrigue in this palace, how can an orphan deal with it calmly. ”

Lu Zheng said: "Actually, it's a pity that Wang Haibin died, and I pity Wang Zhonghei, but we are also comrades-in-arms, and we really have to take care of his son." ”

The two drove towards the palace, and when they arrived at the palace gate, Jin Wuwei's general saw that it was Xue Ne and allowed him to go, and the carriage drove slowly through several palace gates and headed for the deep palace. Lu Zheng didn't know where he went, that is, he saw a heavy palace, with strict guards, and the sky at the four corners limited his gaze.

After getting out of the car, Xue Ne pushed open the door, and Lu Zheng saw that this was a side hall, but it was quite tidy, although there were barren leaves on the ground, it did not cover the ground. Then a boy in his old age was playing the piccolo, and his voice was loud. Lu Zheng knew that this was Wang Zhonghe, who was somewhat similar to his father Wang Haibin, with a hint of heroism between his face.
