"It's gone!" Zhou Gui shook his head.

"Brother Zhou, are you sure you haven't forgotten something?" Li Zhen asked again.

"This is what the villain did, and His Majesty has said so much, word for word!" Zhou Gui said with a smile.

Li Zhen's face was slightly disappointed, and he was not interested.

"Chief Zhou, but someone in the court has a twist?" Zheng Jin immediately asked.

Zhou Gui nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that it was the right servant who shot Zheng Su and Jingzhao Yin Lushang, who were pressed by His Majesty for a few days, and the two seemed to be unrelenting, and finally His Majesty ordered the villain to go to the Eastern Capital!" ”

"Eastern Capital? What to do in Dongdu? Zheng asked puzzled.

"It's to see Gong Wen Rao!" Li Zhen accosted.

"Yes, it's to see Gong Wen Rao!"

"Wen Rao Gong...... Are you okay? Li Zhen asked eagerly.

Zhou Gui shook his head and said, "There are some things that Wen Rao Gong still can't let go!" ”

Li Zhen nodded, Zhou Gui said well, there are some things that Li Deyu can never let go, even if he knows that it is impossible for Li Chen to use it, but he still can't let it go.

I can't put it down, but I can't get it.

This is a heart disease, how good can it be for an old man?

"I heard that ......" Zhou Gui wanted to stop talking, because he knew that Li Zhen and Li Deyu had a special emotion, although Zhou Gui didn't know where this emotion came from.

"How?" Li Zhen asked.

"I heard that His Majesty intends to demote Gong Wenrao to Yazhou Sihu!" Zhou Gui said softly.

"Yazhou Sihu ......" Li Zhen's expression tightened, and then he remembered that Li Deyu's final destination was Yazhou Sihu.

Yazhou, located in Danzhou, Lingnan Province, is not less than 5,000 miles away from Luoyang, the eastern capital, which is definitely a life-and-death disaster for an old man, obviously his emperor father does not want Li Deyu to live too long.

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't ask what Zhou Gui did when he went to the Eastern Capital, Zheng Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhou, dare to ask Your Majesty why you ordered you to go to the Eastern Capital to see Duke Wen Rao, what happened?" ”

"It's for this!" Zhou Gui replied.

Zheng Zhen looked at Li Zhen and did not speak.

Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zhen and shook his head.

Zhou Gui looked at the two of them and sighed lightly: "Zeyuan, there are some things that we can't do anything about!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "What happened to the Duke of Yi Jing and the Duke of Weichen?" ”

"Zheng Yijing was dismissed as the envoy of the Jingnan Festival, and Zheng Weichen was demoted to the envoy of the Wuchang Festival, and it is estimated that he is now on the road!" Zhou Gui replied.

Zheng Ji thought about it after hearing this, and said: "Well, Your Majesty's move is too perfect, borrowing the hand of Duke Wen Rao to eradicate Duke Wen Rao's power in the court, but in the end, he put this black pot on Duke Wen Rao's back, and took it with him to clear up his worries for Zeyuan, killing three birds with one stone, Your Majesty is clever!" ”

After a long time, Li Zhenchang took a breath and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is too clever, so clever that I am a little scared!" ”

Zheng Zhen and Zhou Gui naturally knew Li Zhen's identity, but Wang Shaoyi didn't know, after hearing this, Zheng Zhen was afraid that Li Zhen would lose his words, so he hurriedly said: "Zeyuan means that our courtiers can't speculate on the holy will!" ”

Zhou Gui naturally understood Zheng Jin's meaning, and then echoed: "That's natural, today's Your Majesty is arrogant and discerning, how can we as courtiers be able to speculate?" ”

Li Zhen didn't say a word, although he was already familiar with this was just the so-called "mastery of the Son of Heaven", but he still couldn't accept this almost cruel and ruthless approach.

Whether it is Li Deyu or the emperor's father, they are just a chess piece under the "power technique".

In this world where the winner is king, some people win, and some people lose.

Li Zhen was silent for a long time, slowly walked to the front of the case, picked up the bamboo pen, silently wrote four words on the rattan paper, and then carefully sealed it with wax and handed it to Zhou Gui with his own hands.

"Brother Zhou, I'm tired of handing this over to Your Majesty!" Li Zhen held Zhou Gui's hand with a solemn expression.

Zhou Gui nodded and put the letter away.

"In that case, the villain will leave first, and Your Majesty is still waiting for me to go back to my life!" Zhou Gui said.

Li Zhen nodded.

Zeyuan ...... Take care! Zhou Gui was just about to leave, but he seemed to think of something again, turned around and stopped, "By the way, this time Your Majesty also sent people to Xingyang and Taiyuan respectively!" ”

"Thank you Brother Zhou for informing me!" Li Zhen smiled, but the smile looked a little unnatural.

......

After Zhou Gui left, Zheng Ji couldn't help but say excitedly: "Zeyuan, with Your Majesty coming forward, I think the Zheng family and the Wang family will no longer be secretly obstructed!" ”

Before Li Zhen could speak, Wang Shaoyi on the side looked surprised and said, "Brother Taiwen, aren't you also from the Zheng family in Xingyang?" Why are you so happy? ”

Zheng Zheng said with a smile when he heard this: "Xingyang Zheng's hall number is all over the world, although they are all the same Zheng surname, but most of them don't know each other, just like this Yingzhou Zheng family, I'm afraid I can't even remember which branch it is in the genealogy, and I have asked Yi Jinggong before, even he himself can't tell which branch he comes from, let alone this small Yingzhou!" ”

As the most authentic branch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, Zheng Ji has a natural sense of pride in his origin, and he also has a natural disdain for branches such as the Zheng family in Yingzhou.

"Since this is the case, it must be far from the relationship with the Zheng clan in Xingyang, so what's the use of His Majesty sending people to Xingyang?" Wang Shaoyi then asked.

"Hehe, since they claim to be from Xingyang, then they will definitely be obedient, otherwise wouldn't they have slapped themselves in the face?" Zheng Zhen said with a smile.

Wang Shaoyi nodded, and seeing that Li Zhen was silent, he immediately asked: "Brother, it seems that Your Majesty treats you well, and even this kind of crime can be smoothed out for you, are you Your Majesty's illegitimate son?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Jin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately stepped forward to cover Wang Shaoyi's mouth, lowered his voice and said: "Don't dare to say nonsense about this kind of big disobedience!" ”

Li Zhen glanced at Wang Shaoyi disapprovingly, and said, "I hope so!" ”

After speaking, Li Zhen fell silent again.

Li Zhen couldn't tell, did he really hope that this was the case in his heart?

......

Wang Shaoyi's arrival made Chen Qiong feel extremely relaxed, Li Zhen never came to see him, and he has not even shown his face once so far.

In Chen Qiong's opinion, even without the support of the Cui family, the three families of Zheng, Wang, and Lu are definitely not something that Li Zhen, a small Youzhou marching Sima, can shake.

Chen Qiong's relief is precisely destined for him to lose completely in the game with Li Zhen.

On the day of Zhou Gui's departure, Li Zhen ordered Zhao Lang to rush back to Youzhou, and at the same time took a letter with him.

A handwritten letter that needs to be handed over to Zhang Zhifang and Li Maoxun, a handwritten letter that Zhang Zhongwu will never be able to see.

Li Zhen naturally understood the emperor's father's intentions, and he leveled the territory of the Zheng family and the Wang family and the Fanyang Lu family in Lulong Town for himself, so the Wang family was naturally settled by himself.

Youzhou.

After Zhang Zhifang read Li Zhen's letter, he smiled at Li Maoxun with great interest: "Hehe, do you say this is blackmail?" ”

Li Maoxun smiled: "Sort of, but this time we helped him be a bad guy!" ”

"Hahaha, I really can't see that this Li Zeyuan seems to be weak, but he is insidious and cunning in his actions...... I like it, though! Hahaha! Zhang Zhifang laughed and tore the letter to shreds.

"What are you going to do with it? The Fan Yang Lu clan is different from those ordinary scholars, if it really annoys it, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it! Li Maoxun is still a little worried.

"I'm afraid of him, there is no one I Zhang Fangjin is afraid of in the realm of Lulong!" Zhang Zhifang slapped the case and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Li Maoxun hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then I still have to do a good job of this bad person, if something really goes wrong, it will not be easy for the envoy to explain it, and this matter must not be let the envoy know!" ”

Zhang Zhifang thought about it after hearing this, and also felt that what Li Maoxun said was reasonable, and in addition, this kind of thing that requires hard work and hard work cannot be done by himself, so it is better to leave it to Li Maoxun to do, and he will be idle.

"Okay, bring more soldiers and horses, and beat him up if you don't agree with him!" Zhang Zhifang instructed very seriously.

Li Maoxun: "......"

......

Xingyang.

Since the ancestor Huan Gong was enthroned and Zheng Wu built the capital of Xingyang, Zheng Jue, as the sixty-fourth generation head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, shoulders not only the rise and fall of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but also the origin of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

In any case, the Xingyang Zheng clan cannot be defeated, even if the world is defeated, the Xingyang Zheng clan still has to live, and it has to live an infinite life.

This is the responsibility of the successive heads of the family, and it is also the criterion for the survival of the major noble families.

Since you want to live, you sometimes have to give up something in front of the people in power in previous dynasties.

Just like today, he is just a small chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but after coming to the Zheng family, he is still commanding.

Because he represents the Son of the Day.

Although this unknown chief did not bring any holy decree, not even a single oracle, the keen Zheng Jue knew that there could be no one other than that person who could say this sentence in such a tone.

A provincial director of the Inner Chamberlain traveled all the way from Chang'an to Xingyang, just to say a word, although the other party did not say who instructed this sentence, but Zheng Jue felt it.

That person must be today.

The words brought by the chief of the chamberlain were very simple, just one sentence.

"There are too many Zheng clan halls in Xingyang, it is inevitable that the restraints are not good, I hope that the head of the Zheng family will not hurt the root because of this, such as Yingzhou!"

After listening, Rao was in this cold winter wax moon, and Zheng Jue was still sweating instantly.

"Hurt the fundamentals", these four words are enough to make Zheng Jue tremble.

If this sentence was said by a court official, even if it was a court official, Zheng Jue would not be so alarmed, but this sentence came from the mouth of a small head of the inner province.

"The Zheng family will strictly restrict each hall number in the future, as for the Zheng family in Yingzhou, Zheng will go in person today, please rest assured!"

Zheng Jue's attitude was very respectful, so respectful that he was only one dance salute.

After the main person left, Zheng Jue's face became more and more gloomy, and said: "Yingzhou, these unscrupulous descendants don't know what kind of trouble they have caused!" ”

After saying that, Zheng Jue didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately embarked on the road to Yingzhou.
