At this time, Zheng Wen was reading the fold in the imperial study, and he saw a very interesting fold.

This is a letter from the Yan Wangfu, the general meaning of the recital is: Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang played Zhou Wang Zheng Tong to bully the king, these days in Yanjing City everywhere in tandem people, ready to make the wind and rain, let Zheng Wen be careful, Zheng Zhuang said that he stood on Zheng Wen's side, and swore not to stand with Zhou King Zheng Tong.

Zheng Wen saw it and showed a meaningful smile, this Zheng Zhuang said in the twist and turn that he had admitted defeat and surrendered in the battle for the throne, and also exposed what Zheng Tong had done these days, expressing that only he was the first to look forward.

As for whether Zheng Zhuang really admits defeat? Hehe, it remains to be seen!

As for Zheng Tong?

What is Zheng Wen going to do?

There are many people who have a relationship with Zheng Tong, thinking that Zheng Tong almost ascended the throne at the beginning, his supporters and potential forces are not small.

These days, he is stirring up trouble in the capital, and he must give him a little bit of power, so that others know the fate of going against him, so as to deter his forces and let them know that I am watching you! Don't jump, if you jump again, I'll clean you up, it's a knock on the mountain!

But it can't be cleaned up too much, and after that, it will make people feel that this is Zheng Wen settling accounts after the autumn and liquidating Zheng Tong who failed to fight for the throne!

But as soon as people feel like this, the forces that supported Zheng Tong during the struggle for the throne will be in danger for everyone, and they will try to hold together and gather strength to protect themselves, and even many people who have distanced themselves from Zheng Tong will reunite under Zheng Tong's command.

Could it be that Zheng Tong sensed that his forces were in danger of falling apart, so he made trouble in Yanjing City, so that I could punish him heavily, so that he could make a sad posture of a rabbit and a fox, so that his forces would surround him and make them dare not leave him. In that case, Zheng Tong's scheming is probably very deep!

At this time, Zheng Wen's heart unconsciously thought more.

It's an eventful time!

Zheng Wen thought about it again in his heart, he still has to be punished, and he must knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

But it is necessary to hold a strong force, to make people feel that this is just a punishment for Zheng Tong for making trouble in the capital, not Zheng Wen settling accounts with this loser in the battle for the throne!

So how do you do that?

I can only make some fuss about "filial piety".

Zheng Wen smiled at the note.

……

An hour later.

Huang An took a holy decree and led people out of Daming Palace.

And the palace of the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou is kneeling in the hall, and Huang An is reading the holy decree: "The emperor's edict said: Zheng Tong, the king of Zhou, in the filial piety period of the first emperor, does not think about filial piety, and stirs up the wind and rain in the capital, it is for the sake of unfilial piety, and the king of Zhou is fined for one year, and the king of Zhou has been thinking about it for three years behind closed doors, and he is here!" ”

"Lord Zhou, take the order! This is the recital written by the prince of Yan to His Majesty, the recital said that in the filial piety of the first emperor, the prince of Zhou was very active, His Majesty saw it, and his heart was very unhappy, but he has always been benevolent, and he couldn't bear to scold his brother, so he asked the old slave to bring this holy decree and the fold to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, saying that a little punishment is enough, it must be blood relatives and flesh and blood! ”

"The minister accepts the order, thank Your Majesty Longen!" Zheng Tong took the holy decree with both hands, his face was expressionless, but his heart was almost about to vomit blood.

I didn't expect it!

At the beginning of the plan, he thought that he would be discovered, and he couldn't hide such a big thing, he just wanted to give Xiao Jiu, who had just sat on the throne, some trouble, to see if he could make him busy and have some problems with himself, and then according to the follow-up plan to see if he could pull Xiao Jiu off the throne, maybe his opportunity would come.

But I never expected that the first person to stab himself was Zheng Zhuang, who was newly named King Yan, and Xiao Jiu also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, sent a fierce reprimand and holy decree, and buttoned the hat of unfilial piety on his head.

From today onwards, I am afraid that my reputation will be damaged, and it is precisely because of my reputation that I can be well known in the government and the opposition of the great cadres, and I have won the reputation of "both civil and military", and I almost ascended to the throne.

It seems that after today, I will be quiet for a while!

Zheng Tong picked up this letter and read it again, the whole article is Zheng Zhuang reprimanding himself, accusing himself of bullying the king, reprimanding himself, faintly hinting that Zheng Zhuang admits defeat in the battle for the throne and will be the head of the little nine horses in the future, does his good brother really admit defeat?

Hehe, I don't believe it anyway!

So, what does Xiao Jiu mean by giving this piece to himself?

……

At this time, Yanjing City, because of this holy decree, the upper-level people were talking about it for a while.

Yanwang Mansion.

Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang and Sun Xiao sat opposite each other.

Zheng Zhuang was the first to speak: "Sir, what do you mean by Your Majesty?" It's easy to understand by scolding my good second brother Lone, but if you give it to my good second brother when you change hands the folds that Lone wrote to him, is it a hint that Lone wants to fight with my good second brother? ”

When Sun Xiao heard this, he also looked pensive, and after a long while, he spoke: "Lord Wang, I don't understand!" I can't guess what Your Majesty is thinking. ”

"As for His Majesty's decree to reprimand Prince Zhou for his unfilial piety. I have a different opinion! ”

"Oh, isn't this just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger and deterring other forces, this lonely understand." Zheng Zhuang said with an affirmative face.

Sun Xiao smiled, revealing an unfathomable smile, but he didn't speak.

When Zheng Zhuang saw it, he immediately looked curious, so he spoke again: "Oh, please teach Mr. Gu!" After speaking, he also saluted Sun Xiao.

Sun Xiao was probably satisfied, so he said: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty wants to punish Lord Zhou, there are many ways, but the only thing is unfilial!" ”

When Zheng Zhuang heard this, he also reacted, and then looked at Sun Xiao with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Wang, I think that on the one hand, as Lord Wang said, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and deter other forces."

"On the other hand, it is His Majesty who is beating the prince of Zhou hard. Zhou Wang Ye was only able to gather such a big force, mainly because of his reputation, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the 'civil and military shuangquan' cadres knew about it, but success is also famous, defeat is also reputation, His Majesty is reprimanding Zhou Wang Ye for being unfilial, that is, destroying the reputation of Zhou Wang Ye, a reputation of unfilial piety will make Zhou Wang Ye have big trouble, if Zhou Wang Ye does not handle it properly, Zhou Wang Ye's power is afraid that it will fall apart. ”

Zheng Zhuang listened, nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

"There is another aspect, that is, Your Majesty is taking into account the backlash of the forces that supported Prince Zhou as emperor that day."

"Those forces are not all wholeheartedly supporting Lord Zhou, they just want to fight for a dragon feat."

"But since it didn't succeed, they were worried that the new emperor would settle accounts after the autumn, so they are now waiting and seeing, whether to continue to follow the prince of Zhou or throw himself into the arms of His Majesty, Your Majesty has taken these forces into account, so Your Majesty nakedly accuses the prince of Zhou of being unfilial, so that these forces will understand that Your Majesty is mad about the wind and rain in Yanjing City a few days ago, not to completely purge King Zhou and King Zhou's party."

"In this way, these forces are generally relieved, and the chaotic situation of the DPRK these days has completely calmed down."

Zheng Zhuang listened to it and said with a smile: "Mr. is really amazing, such a holy year, Mr. can interpret so many meanings, Mr. can assist Gu, it is really an honor for Gu!" ”

Sun Xiao listened, smiled modestly, and then said: "Your Majesty is powerful, I can only analyze and analyze." ”

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Jian heard the news of this holy decree, so he said to the right: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more like a wise monarch!" ”

……

Xie Fei's house, when Xie Fei heard the news, he said to himself: "That's good, my hanging heart will be put down!" ”

……

When Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard the news, a big smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.

……

When Zhao Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard the news, he bowed in the direction of the palace, and then in front of his subordinates: "Your Majesty, it is Ming Junye!" ”

……

And in Changle Palace, the Queen Mother Wang was facing a kneeling middle-aged woman below and said, "Sister, don't worry!" Your Majesty still knows the general situation, after all, he is a brother of flesh and blood, King Zhou is the second son of the first emperor, and His Majesty will not do anything to him! ”

It turned out that this kneeling middle-aged woman was the biological mother of King Zhou, the concubine of the first emperor, Li, when she received King Yan's impeachment of King Zhou, her son was so heartfelt that she went to the Queen Mother to plead in front of the Queen Mother.

……

And the Tang Palace.

Zheng Jiao, who was named the King of Tang, said to the young scholar sitting under him: "See, cousin, this lonely ninth brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, we must be careful in the future!" This time, Lonely's good second brother has suffered a big loss, but Lonely's good big brother, what does this mean? ”

The young scholar sitting under him was Xie Yu from the Xie family in Jiangnan, who was personable, slender, with a creamy face, and a twenty-four or five appearance, this person was the nephew of Concubine Xie Gui, and he was also an important strategist of Tang King Zheng Jiao.

Xie Yu listened, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "What the prince said is extremely true, our Majesty's city is getting deeper and deeper, and we should be more careful." ”

"As for Lord Yan's actions, Xiao Sheng thinks that this is afraid that King Yan is surrendering to His Majesty!"

"Tou Cheng, I'm afraid I still haven't woken up! The person who has competed for the throne, the ninth brother of Lone is afraid that he will not believe him. Zheng Jiao said with a determined face.

"Lord Wang, you are not Your Majesty, how do you know that Your Majesty will not believe him?" Xie Yu said again.

Zheng Jiao listened to it and said disapprerovingly: "Will you believe it?" How to believe? If Lone is His Majesty, Lone will not believe him? ”

Xie Yu listened, and then spoke: "The prince is careless, Xiaosheng thinks that His Majesty will believe him sooner or later." ”

"Oh, my cousin has a different opinion, and I'm listening." Zheng Jiao still said disapprerovingly.

Xie Yu listened, and then said, "Does the prince know His Majesty's personality? Has the prince carefully analyzed the current situation in the court? I think, the prince is afraid that he doesn't know! ”

When Zheng Jiao heard this, his face showed a little positive color, and then he said, "Oh, how do you say this?" ”

Xie Yu straightened his clothes, and then said with a serious face: "Lord Wang, according to Xiaosheng's careful observation these days, I found that Your Majesty, although he has a disability in his feet, is a very talented person, and his heart will still be broad-minded, as long as Prince Yan sincerely surrenders to His Majesty, His Majesty will still accept it!" ”

"There is also the current situation in the court, Your Majesty has gone from having nothing to ascending the throne as the emperor, and the government and the opposition are divided into several major factions, the die-hard faction of the first emperor, the neutral faction, the faction that supports the Yan Wang faction, the faction that supports the Zhou Wang faction, and the faction that supports the prince, the first two will not be mentioned for the time being."

"But the last three factions, can you be sure that they are all loyal to the three of you, of course this is impossible, some of them are just for the sake of the dragon, and once the Yan Wang Ye really surrenders to His Majesty, then His Majesty will definitely put Yan Wang Ye up as an example, so as to divide the non-diehard people in the Three Kings faction, as long as there is an effect, why not Your Majesty?"

When Tang Wang Zhengjiao heard this, his face was a little gloomy, and he was silent for a while!
