"Say, if you can't tell the reason, you can honestly accept the disposal of the imperial court!" Tian Lingzi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him coldly and said seriously.

Zhao Rui glanced at the soldier who had not left beside him, and then looked at Tian Lingzi, who didn't know that this was Tian Lingzi's intention, thinking of the mission he undertook, he could only endure it, "Lord Guogong, the villain knows that the court has a misunderstanding about the villain's handsome, but the villain's handsome man was also forced to be helpless, so he sent the villain to ask for a meeting with the Guogong and explain the matter clearly." ”

"Oh, what's the reason? Tell me about it. Tian Lingzi played with the jade wrench in his hand and said lightly.

"The reason why the villain's handsome man is doing such a thing is actually because Zheng Zhen is too deceitful. My Fengxiang army fought hard and hard with the Huangchao thief army on the front line, and suffered heavy casualties, but Zheng Jin, the former Jiedu, was greedy for the military salaries of the soldiers, and the military salaries in recent months were less than one-third of the previous ones.

In order not to cause greater panic, the villain's handsome man was forced to be helpless and do this seemingly rebellious thing. If the soldiers can survive, how can this be, and I hope that the country will be clear. Zhao Rui cried.

Before coming, he inquired about the discord between Tian Lingzi and Zheng Jin, and yesterday the emperor ordered Zheng Ling to continue to serve as the prime minister and be in charge of the military, and he knew that Tian Lingzi must be dissatisfied. That's why he came to the door at this time, but he didn't expect Tian Lingzi to be cunning and cunning, but he snatched the initiative.

"Really?" Tian Lingzi said lightly, "Our family heard that Li Changyan committed a rebellion and launched a mutiny, and even Prime Minister Wang Duo played to severely punish Li Changyan. You have no basis for this, how can we believe that what you say is true! ”

"Lord Guogong, what the villain said is true. For this reason, the villain's handsome man also prepared a thin gift, and hoped that the prince would smile. ”

Saying that, Zhao Rui asked people to offer the gift list, and after Tian Lingzi saw the gift list, his face changed slightly, and then he was still angry on the side, and said sharply, "What do you mean?" Is this to bribe our family? We don't need this thing from you? ”

"Lord Guogong misunderstood, this is just a little bit of the villain's handsomeness, I just hope that Lord Guogong can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty. Because Fengxiang Mansion has been fighting against the rebels all year round, the treasury is empty, which is made up by the villain's marshal who emptied the entire treasury.

If the Lord Guogong can help the villain's family to be handsome, the villain's family will definitely be grateful to the Lord Guogong, and Feng Xiangjun will also obey the orders of the Lord Guogong. The way of the villain, this little courtesy, the Lord Guogong can't look down on it, and when the tax comes up next year, he will not forget the grace of the Lord Guogong today. "Zhao Rui didn't expect Tian Lingzi to be so greedy, he couldn't satisfy the other party with the property worth 150,000 yuan, but since he came, he had to get things done.

Let's settle the matter first, and as for whether to give it in the coming year, we'll talk about it then.

"Father, I think what Zhao Sima said makes sense, Your Majesty was deceived by Zheng Jin, Father should uphold justice and return Li Jiedu to make an innocence." The little eunuch on the side persuaded Tian Lingzi at the right time.

"Hmm." Tian Lingzi nodded, "It's still good what you said, our family will explain this matter to Your Majesty." ”

"Lord Guogong, the appointment of the villain's festival commander?" Zhao Rui asked tentatively.

"You can rest assured, Fengxiang Mansion came to the land of Longxing, and it is the front line against the Huangchao thief army, so naturally it can't be a group of dragons without a leader." Although Tian Lingzi made it difficult in every possible way, in the end, for the sake of that 'thin gift', he still agreed to help with this favor.

Tian Lingzi's habit of being greedy for money is known by many people, but Tian Lingzi is okay, he still does things after taking the money. Just like this time, after receiving Li Changyan's 150,000 yuan, he suggested to Li Yi the next day, and promised to use Li Changyan's moderation to make him take the position, appease him, and let him not take refuge in Huangchao. After Li Yi thought about it, he agreed to Tian Lingzi's suggestion.

。。。。。。

"Father, why did the thief suggest to His Majesty to appoint Li Changyan's thief as the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, and you didn't stop it?"

Due to Zheng Jin's recent arrival in Chengdu, although Li Yi rewarded him with a house, it is still under repair, so for the time being, Zheng Zheng lives in the house of his eldest son Zheng Ningji. After learning that Li Changyan was appointed as the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, Zheng Ningji couldn't wait to find his father when he returned home and asked the reason.

Zheng Ji sighed, "Do you think that my father doesn't want to stop it?" But it is a fluke that his father lost Feng Xiang and was not questioned by His Majesty, at this time, because of this matter, to contradict His Majesty, wouldn't it be asking for hardship? ”

"But the attitude of the field thief has changed so quickly, he must have accepted a bribe from Li Changyan, otherwise, with the field thief's unprofitable and unprofitable style, how could he suggest that His Majesty recognize Li Changyan's identity as an envoy?" Zheng Ningji was a little angry, and he was also a little unworthy of his father.

"This matter, without evidence, what can you do with Tian Lingzi?" The eldest son said, Zheng Zheng doesn't know, but compared to the importance in front of the emperor, where can he compare to Tian Lingzi.

"Father, is this matter just settled?" Zheng Ningji was unwilling.

"Naturally not, if there is a chance, my father will definitely get rid of the Tian brothers, if it weren't for their deception, how could Your Majesty take refuge in this corner of Xichuan? This will not be the case with the imperial court. But now there is no good opportunity, and the father is a newcomer, so he can't be too reckless. Zheng Zheng said in a deep voice, "By the way, you have been in Chengdu Mansion for half a year, and you can tell your father about the situation in Chengdu Mansion." ”

"Yes, father."

Zheng Ningji did not hide it, although he basically spent half a year in Shouwang's Mansion, it did not mean that he did not pay attention to the affairs of the imperial court. At this time, the situation in the entire Chengdu Mansion and Xichuan is very complicated, in the court, Tian Lingzi is powerful, Yang Fugong and Shouwang are warm, although Xiao Yu and Tian Lingzi are competing against each other, but the strength is weak, except for Yang Fugong, Shouwang and Xiao Yu, no one else dares to offend Tian Lingzi.

In Xichuan, Chen Jingxuan also greatly expanded the Xichuan army, imposed harsh rule over the locality, excluded dissidents, and wantonly installed his own cronies. The most ridiculous thing is that Chen Jingxuan appointed his brother Chen Jingxun, who was illiterate and did not understand martial arts, as the assassin of Zizhou, and killed Xie Hong, the general of Zizhou town who protested.

However, no one dared to stand up for this matter, including Yang Fugong and Shouwang, who remained silent.

Zheng Jin didn't expect the situation in Xichuan to be so complicated, but when he learned that King Shou was actually ordered to form the Tiance Army, he was very curious about King Shou. For King Shou, he only met the other party once in the valley, and although he also heard about his formation of the Tiance Army, he was a little unfamiliar with this prince who suddenly received His Majesty's attention.

"You are the Sima of Shouwangfu, how much do you know about Shouwang?" Zheng Jin asked in a deep voice.

"It's not easy!" Zheng Ningji summed up his views on Shouwang in three words.

"Isn't it easy? Where is it manifested? Zheng Zheng was a little curious about why the eldest son made this evaluation.

"Although the child has been serving as Sima in the Shouwang Mansion for a while, the Shou King does not trust the child very much, and many things have not been revealed to the child, even Sun Sima, who has been appointed as the father-in-law of the Shou King, has not entered the few people trusted by the Shou King.

Although Shou Wang didn't trust the child, the child was able to find something unusual. King Shou was not too close to the ministers in the court, although he was deeply trusted by His Majesty and controlled the Tiance Army, his influence in the court was even inferior to that of King Ji, who was disliked by His Majesty.

And there is also a thing, that is, Shouwang printed a lot of books and sold them at a very low price. This makes the child a little worried, Shouwang may not want to be just a Shouwang, but has other plans. Zheng Ningji said worriedly.

"Something else?" Zheng Zheng is not very surprised, judging from the change of kings in the court in the past hundred years, there is no system for inheritance, which will naturally give some people in the clan thoughts, as the clan of the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't want to be the emperor? And from the first time he met King Shou and heard the words sung by the other party, he knew that this King Shou had the same thoughts.

It stands to reason that the prince is not suitable for mastering the army, but the other party has formed the Tiance Army, which is still formed under the instruction of the emperor Li Yi.

"King Shou doesn't seem to be doing his job, although he is talented, he is not in the right place, and he is obsessed with business and children. But according to the child's observations, these are only superficial phenomena. Let's just say that the sale of books at a low price, although it is not liked by everyone in the world, it is highly sought after by the children of the poor family.

Because of this low-cost book, many people are able to study on their own. Zheng Ningji said seriously.

"If you look at it this way, this Shouwang is either a child's heart, or he has a big plan. If it's the latter, then it's a bit serious, Shouwang is just a child less than 15 years old, if there is such a scheming, it would be too terrifying. ”

Zheng Zhen was also a little frightened by himself, how can a 15-year-old child have such a deep scheming? But when he met King Shou in the past two days, he had an illusion, as if he was not a 15-year-old child in front of him, but a middle-aged man aged 3 or 40. But he felt that this feeling was too ridiculous, but it was not impossible for the people of the royal family to be sensible early, which made him, a person who has been well versed in the sea for decades, unable to understand it.
