Zheng Mansion, in Zheng He's bedroom, his son, daughter, wife, and concubine were staring at Zheng He, who was being treated by the doctor.

Zheng He, who was lying on the bed, his face was as pale as paper, and Dr. Zheng, the doctor of the Zheng Mansion, carefully checked the pulse before getting up and said solemnly: "Young Master, the head of the family is fine, he is just angry, just recuperate for a few days." ”

Zheng Zheng listened to what he wanted to say, but Zheng He, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Master Ben is fine, Chong'er stays, you all retreat." ”

After everyone retreated, Zheng He, who was lying on the bed, looked at his tall, slender son with a handsome face, and then said: "Chong'er, this time in order to repay the favor of the Wang family, it is really worth the loss, I didn't expect Your Majesty to act so quickly that he suddenly removed you from the post of chief general of the Southern Army, this is a knock on the mountain and a tiger!" ”

Listening solemnly, he glanced at his father before he said calmly: "Dad, is this really your idea?" You wouldn't be trying to muddy the waters, would you? ”

In fact, although Zheng Zheng's face was calm, in fact, he was quite annoyed in his heart, this time he was completely unpunished, he became the chief general of the Southern Army at the age of thirty-six, controlling 150,000 elite soldiers in Yanjing, although he has a family relationship, but it is also real.

He joined the Daqian army at the age of eighteen, started as a low-level officer, participated in the war with the Mongols, killed people, shed blood, was wounded, served in the border army, served as the chief general of Yanmen Pass, step by step, three years ago he became the chief general of the Southern Army, and became the main garrison general of Yanjing, when he was only thirty-three years old, he was the absolute confidant of Zheng Wen's father, Emperor Zheng Yan.

This time he was swept to the end by Zheng Wen and became a white body, it is strange that he is not angry in his heart, and he has no excuses on the surface, he himself is an iron-blooded general who is extremely strict with himself, otherwise how would he command the southern army and become an important military leader of the Daqian army.

That's why after listening to his father's words, he asked, you must know that today's great cadres, the sleeping force is gradually waking up, and your majesty is now attaching great importance to the military, reorganizing and reforming the Ministry of Industry, rebuilding armaments, changing the entire army of cadres, and reorganizing the army of cadres, at first glance, it is to prepare for war and a big war.

As a hawkish general who has spent his whole life in the army and longs for war with him, he was furious at this moment, just looking at his father lying on the bed, blood was thicker than water, and he deliberately suppressed his anger.

Zheng He, who was lying on the bed, listened, a hint of flushing appeared on his pale face, and obviously the solemn words hit the nail on the head in his heart.

But he was not angry, but then said: "Chong'er, what you said is right, but this time it is the one in the Changle Palace who spoke, as the head of the Zheng family, I have to return the favor I once had, you also know that after the blow of Emperor Sejong over the years, the Zheng family has been able to develop so fast in the past twenty years, and the Taiyuan Wang family has made a great effort in front of the first emperor, since the Wang family has opened its mouth, it is impossible for me not to agree, but it has affected you!" ”

Hearing it solemnly, he glanced at Zheng He in a daze, and then said, "Dad, I didn't say you, so why bother?" What are the six great families of the Northland? Don't you have a point in your heart, our Zheng family has its own Zheng family's way of survival, so why should we get involved in the affairs of other families? ”

"Dad, you still don't give up, why bother to think about those thoughts that shouldn't belong to you, on the eve of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, our Zheng family's small actions in secret, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know? You are just covering your ears and stealing the bell, Your Majesty is just hiding and not sending it, Dad, you look at this time, Your Majesty caught a hint of a hint, and hit our Zheng family hard, removing me from the post of the chief general of the Southern Army, this is indeed killing chickens and monkeys, killing our Zheng family's chicken, to show other families, but why not to warn our Zheng family, warning us to be safer, otherwise the next time it will not be the Jinyi Guard who commands Zheng Yi, but the army of the Yulin Army, stop, settle down, is the long-term way. Zheng Zheng said with great seriousness.

Zheng He listened, but he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Chong'er, I'm still unwilling, unwilling, why?" Will their family always be like that? Why are you calling us around? Besides, our family also made great efforts at the beginning, but their family was so shabby, I just followed the wishes of the ancestors of all generations and took back the status of our family, why? ”

The more he said it, the more crazy the look on Zheng He's face became.

solemnly saw it, but said coldly: "Who is who is who is not who is the original matter, and who can explain it clearly?" I don't want to argue with you about this, but this time you look at it, if the Wang family still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, this time it will definitely suffer a big loss, even if the one in the Changle Palace is still high, you can't fight Your Majesty. ”

"Also, you secretly contacted the prince of the Yan Zhou Tang throne and gave them support, you better deal with the beginning and end of it as soon as possible. And what kind of bad people are this kind of organization, you should cut off contact as soon as possible, you dare to do this kind of rebellious thing, it is really lawless, otherwise, for the survival of the Zheng family in Yanjing, don't blame me for not being filial! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zheng He's reaction, Zheng Zheng strode away, leaving him with a heavy back.

Zheng He looked at this back, but he was asking himself in his heart, am I really wrong?

……

And solemnly dismissed from the post of chief general of the Southern Army, but it caused an uproar in the aristocratic family circle in Yanjing, most of the people of the family looked sorry, and some of the nobles of military merit sighed and some gloated......

At this time, Zheng Zheng unloaded his military position, dressed in sackcloth, in his own courtyard, holding his sword for many years, facing the winter wind, practicing military martial arts, everything in the outside world is nothing to him.

……

At this time, the Yanwang Mansion was by the empty lotus pond.

Zheng Zhuang, who was dressed in black silk, was concentrating on fishing with a fishing rod, and so was Sun Xiao, the chief strategist sitting not far from him.

Under the sun, the lotus pond with only pond water is flooded with bursts of waves, which is a little dazzling.

But Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang was not less interested, pinched the fishing rod steadily, and said with a laugh: "Sir, the lonely ninth brother has done a good job today, and the clown of the Zheng family should be beaten hard, they have been jumping up and down all these years, and they are forgetful, and they really think they are a character, hahahaha......"

Zheng Zhuang is joy is beyond words, he did not have the slightest sympathy for what happened to the Zheng family in Yanjing, but gloated!

Sun Xiao on the side saw that his prince was so excited, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true, the Zheng family has really not been like it over the years, but I didn't expect that this time the Wang family actually used so much force to save the Tang prince, the six major families in the north, two old hereditary aristocratic families, an emerging aristocratic family, and other officials, this influence is really great, the prince thinks, will His Majesty back down?" ”

Zheng Zhuang listened, but he was interested, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the king of Kaoben, look at His Majesty's shot today, knocking on the Zheng family like this, this king thinks that it is impossible for His Majesty to back down, this time he has retreated, what His Majesty is going to do next, I don't know how much resistance it will encounter, what does Mr. think?" He also asked with interest.

When Sun Xiao heard this, he also put down the fishing rod in his hand, and then said with a smile on his face: "As for whether to retreat or not, I think that the Wang family's move this time is inexplicable, as if it is intended to give up Wang Cheng, the left servant of the household." He touched his chin and said.

"Oh, sir, where does this begin?" After listening to Sun Xiao's words, Zheng Zhuang was silent for a while, and then asked.

Sun Xiao listened, but picked up the fishing rod again, looked at the lotus pond, and then said unhurriedly: "Can't the prince see it?" Although the Wang family's shot this time seems to be hidden, it is actually a big fanfare, saving an irrelevant person, and highlighting Wang Cheng, a shit Hubu Zuo Shilang, in front of His Majesty, what kind of person Wang Cheng is The prince does not know, a man with big ambitions, a little clever, and leaning on the Wang family to make friends with the prince Zhou and Tang Wangye, and the dead Song Wangye, sitting in the position of the left servant of the household, I don't know how many benefits he received, and he has attracted a lot of self-righteous cronies, such a person, after a little check, he will die and can't die anymore, And the Wang family made a move this time, but they deliberately ignored Wang Cheng. ”

Zheng Zhuang listened, pondered for a while, and then said: "What Mr. said, this king thought about it, it's true, what kind of medicine is sold in this Wang's gourd, I don't understand, I don't understand!" ”

He shook his head, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Could it be the internal struggle of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family wants to get rid of Wang Cheng by external force, after all, there are a lot of such things in this kind of big family!" ”

"Impossible," after listening to Zheng Zheng's words, Sun Xiao said categorically.

"No, the head of the Wang family has been in charge of the Wang family for many years, the Wang family is thriving, internally stable, and has the support of the one in the Changle Palace, what is there to say about Wang Cheng!" He continued.

"Besides, this time it is the order personally transmitted by the Changle Palace, then there is only one possibility, Wang Cheng's existence will affect or weaken the Taiyuan Wang family, only this possibility will the Wang family give up Wang Cheng, treat Wang Cheng as an outcast, and let His Majesty today as an outlet for anger, after all, the Wang family is betraying His Majesty by doing this time?"

The more Sun Xiao thinks about it, the more the Wang family thinks about it, so why does the Wang family think that Wang Cheng will affect or weaken the Wang family, this kind of uneasiness of the Wang family cannot come from His Majesty today, then it can only be the first emperor!

The first emperor with a gentle face, who didn't like government and liked luxury!

But the emperor is the emperor, a man who controls the Daqian Dynasty with one hand, no matter how gentle he is on the surface, he must have a heart and a furrow in his heart, and a tiger in his heart!
