"It's really Shi Chong." Sun Bang can also be said to be Shi Chong's connections, and behind this incident is indeed Shi Chong's troublemaker.

Zheng Sheng was thinking about how to pay back the account.

Jia Ding walked in with a famous thorn: "Shizi, there is a scholar who calls himself Mao Bin outside the door to visit. ”

"Mao Bin?" Zheng Sheng suddenly stood up in surprise: "It's him." Invite him in! ”

Zheng Sheng met with Mao Bin in the middle hall.

Mao Bin is of medium stature and not good-looking, but he has a proud and free bookish atmosphere. Zheng Sheng first arched his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Mao for your help." ”

Mao Bin returned the salute: "Zheng Shizi is polite!" ”

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Zheng Shizi must have doubts in his heart. I'm here to help the Son of the World. Sima Ya, the general under the account of the captain of the Tun Cavalry, is the old man of my family, and after the prince left last night, Brother Ziyu mentioned to me what happened in the gold market not long ago. Then, he asked me to help you. I went to the camp of the Tuncai lieutenant and asked General Sima for help. ”

Zheng Sheng suddenly said: "So that's the case." Thank you Brother Mao again, and thank you Brother Wang. I don't know, can I have the opportunity to thank Brother Wang in person? ”

Zheng Sheng really wanted to see Wang Lingguang again, and Zheng Sheng always felt that the identity of that guy should not be as simple as Mr. Xixi of a relative's family.

"Really? I can ask him if he would like to see you. Mao Bin said with a smile.

Just when Zheng Sheng and Mao Bin were talking, on the Taiji Hall in the inner city of the palace, a debate was being staged.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the smuggling of grain merchants to Luoyang by the minister in charge of investigation has already yielded preliminary results." Shi Chong walked out of the train and said energetically, "Yesterday, Yique Pass passed through a grain team loaded with hundreds of stones of new grain, which was found to belong to the Zheng clan in Nanyang, Jingzhou. Last night, the customs officials of Yique cooperated with the Chinese army to detain this private merchant grain team in Yidongju, Luoshuinan. ”

"Well, let's deal with this matter according to the law." Emperor Sima thought for a moment and said. After speaking, he swept his eyes down, and looked at Jia Mi, Jia Mo, Zhang Hua, Pei Yu and others all sitting indifferently, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sima Zhen's hand, on the side of his throne, there is also a seat - his crown prince Sima Shu came to the court today to listen to government affairs, which is very rare.

"Wait." A voice rang out.

Sima Xin walked out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, about the Zheng family's grain team entering Beijing." As far as I know, there is something else going on. ”

"Oh, and what's hidden?" Sima Zhen was very surprised.

"The news I learned is that the purpose of the Zheng Grain Team is not to sell it to earn a high price. Instead, it was to be transported to Hongnong to help the victims there. As early as a few days ago, the people of the Zheng family had negotiated this matter with Luoyang Ling. Luoyang ordered Yang Baizhi to agree to Zheng's request. If the purpose of Zheng's grain transportation was to sell, he would definitely not negotiate with the government. Does Lord Shi know about this? ”

Zhang Hua's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and then closed his eyes again. Pei Yan glanced at him and continued to listen carefully to the argument between the two.

Shi Chong sneered: "Dare to ask Xinye Gong, what is the drought in Tianxia Prefecture and County this year?" ”

"This matter, as a big farmer, you should know better than me!"

"Yes. Then I would like to ask, since the Zheng family of Jingzhou intends to do good deeds, why should they go far and near? Yuzhou is close and Sizhou is far away, why should the Zheng family spend their energy on transporting grain? The Zheng family transported grain into Los Angeles for the purpose of selling grain. As for the relief they claim to help the victims, it is just a way to survive!

was seized by the Chinese army, and Zheng wanted to exonerate himself from the charge for such reasons. In the future, if a grain merchant enters Beijing and is investigated and punished, he will use such an excuse to try to exonerate the merchant, isn't it indulging the businessman? Business is the last branch, and agriculture is the foundation of the country! Xinye Gong pleaded for the businessman, but it was unwise! ”

"As for the Zheng family telling Luoyang Ling about this? I think Yang Bai must have accepted a bribe from Zheng. It's just defending the Zheng family. ”

"Where is the Luoyang Order?" Jia Mo Lang said.

"My lord, Lord Yang is sick today, and he has never come to the court." Huangmen replied.

"Sick? I think Yang Baizhi is afraid, so he is sick! Shi Chong snorted coldly.

The courtiers whispered to each other left and right, and they agreed with Shi Chong's opinion.

Sima Xin frowned and fell silent.

Sima Zhen coughed his throat and said, "Since this is the case, then deal with it according to the law!" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has objections."

A figure got up from the train and slowly walked to the hall.

Sima Zhen looked at him and recognized this person as the imperial historian Mao Jian.

"May I ask Lord Shi, if the Zheng family's purpose is really to go to Hongnong to relieve the victims. Isn't it also for civil? How can it be considered to ignore the country's foundation? If the imperial court really disposed of the Zheng family, wouldn't it make the righteous people of the world feel cold? This year, there is little grain in the treasury, and the victims in all states of the world are still starving in the cold wind, and some businessmen are willing to give food to help the victims, and the court does not reward and punish them, which is an unwise move! Lao Chen believes that he must take the Zheng family as an example and reward him! The world's grain merchants will be happy to donate grain, and the disaster situation in the world will be alleviated! Mao said slowly.

Shi Chong was immediately furious, but Jia Mo clapped his hands: "Mao Yushi said it well!" As long as it can be confirmed that Zheng's food is indeed used to relieve the victims, it is not impossible to give his family some rewards! If the world's grain merchants can really donate grain enthusiastically, the Zheng family will also make the first contribution! ”

Shi Chong looked at Jia Mo who was talking in a daze, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a piece of, and at the same time, he still had deep doubts in his heart: Why did Jia Mo and Mao Jian speak for Zheng Sheng?

Sima Zhen handed Pei Yan an inquiring gaze.

Pei Yan nodded slightly, Sima Zhen suddenly had a spirit, and said loudly: "Okay, then let's do it!" ”

Pei Yan got up: "Yes, then let the Nanying Zhongjun send soldiers to monitor the Zheng grain team and transport the grain to Hongnong." ”

This is just a trivial matter in the court. The courtiers soon began a new argument.

The crown prince Sima Shu listened to the entire court meeting without saying a word.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Sima Shu walked out of the Taiji Hall and prepared to return to the palace along the east palace road of the palace. The eldest Zhang Hua quickly caught up and grabbed his hand, and asked in a surprised tone: "Is the prince willing to come to the court every day in the future to listen to the government?" ”

Sima Shu frowned, and then laughed heartily, "The widow thought that the court would be very interesting, so he came to listen to it." It turned out to be too boring. Master Zhang, in the future, Prince Ben will continue to 'study' in the East Palace! Just leave the meeting to a few bosses! ”

Zhang Hua left with a disappointed face.

Sima Shu looked at the sky with a depressed expression and was silent for a long time.

At this moment, two more people came over. Sima Shu's heart moved, and he quietly hid behind the pillar.

"Why should my uncle have a bad relationship with the Shi clan for the sake of a small Jingzhou clan, it really shouldn't be!" A young man said with a blank face.

He was accompanied by Jia Mo, who spoke for the Zheng family in the court, and it was Jia Mi, who called him his uncle.

Jia Mo patiently explained: "Changyuan, if our clan wants to last for a long time, we must conform to the will of the people and do something practical for this country. We also need to help some of the truly virtuous people and let them be our help. You still don't associate with people who can only talk and don't do practical. ”

Jia Mi said disapprerovingly: "Uncle thinks that the Zheng family will have virtuous talents? It can't be that Zheng Shizi, right? Jia Mi asked in a disdainful tone.

"Yes, that Zheng Sheng has already been ...... by Zhang"

The two drifted apart, and the voices were no longer audible.

Sima Shu walked out, frowning slightly and looking at the direction they were leaving, "Zhang... refers to Zhang Hua, even he ......"
