When the undercurrent in the south of the Yangtze River was surging, Yanjing was also quite uncalm.

The next day, the sun was shining, Zheng Wen got up early, had dinner, and started the day's work.

In the past month, his work of reviewing and reviewing the work has been very heavy, involving all aspects of the military and political affairs of the six ministries, and they are all important work, the progress of the officialdom inventory of the Ministry of Officials, the progress of the granary inventory of the Ministry of Households, the secret inventory of the Ministry of War, the preparation plan of the various sections of the Ministry of Industry, the progress of the reform plan of the Ministry of Industry and the progress of building weapons and armor, the progress of the Criminal Department's handling of the officials in prison and the progress of the work of the two departments, the specific plan of the Ministry of Rites for next year's big wedding and Enke, and the Privy Council's report on the expansion process of the Jiangnan Jiedu Mission. Although he knew the general situation from the information collected by Jinyiwei, and he also knew it in his heart, but after all, there was a specialization in the art industry, and there would always be deviations in Jinyiwei, so Zheng Wen still read it carefully again, so that he had the bottom in his heart, and then solemnly wrote down his comments and replies.

Sometimes, he feels that he is not energetic enough, and he must be aware of all aspects of the huge empire, and he must be familiar with all aspects of people's livelihood, politics, and economy, and every day the political center of the great Qian, Yanjing, receives thousands of twists and turns, some central, local, some specifically to greet His Majesty the Emperor, some are auspicious, some impeach officials, some are affected by disasters and specifically ask the center for money, some recommend officials, and some impeach officials...... In short, all kinds of chaotic twists and turns flew to Zheng Wen's desk.

When he first ascended to the throne, his eyes were black, as long as he received a fold, no matter what it was, he would look at it carefully, and even reply, and he would ask and instruct the relevant officials carefully when he received the folds of the disaster, and then after a long time, he gradually understood that most of these twists and turns were just asking for money and subsidies from the center in disguise; What kind of auspicious twist and turn, it is even more disguised sycophancy, Zheng Wen will also play a severe reprimand......

But later, Zheng Wen gradually became numb, and sometimes he felt that the officials of Daqian were really sick, so he never replied, or even looked at it.

Fortunately, the cabinet was set up, and most of the useless twists and turns and trivial matters were screened out, otherwise, Zheng Wen felt that he was afraid that he would go crazy, but these bad habits of officialdom were deeply remembered by him, and as long as he made time, he would change them one by one.

Even if it is a long process, even if someone will think that he is making a big fuss, even if someone does not understand, he will still do it, even if the final result is not satisfactory, he still has to prove that he has still come!

At this time, Zheng Wen didn't know that his move to put King Tang and the Tang Mansion under house arrest was already surging in secret.

The forces of the Tang Wang Party and the Taiyuan Wang family have united and are ready to fight him!

At this time, Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saw Zheng Wen in the imperial study with a frosty face.

Zheng Wen sat on the imperial chair and carefully reviewed the folds, but asked without raising his head: "Aren't you Jinyiwei going on a lot of things these days, how come you have time to come to me, what is the matter?" ”

Zheng Yi listened, paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister has received news that Your Majesty has imprisoned the Tang King, and the Tang Wang's party forces have been connected with each other, ready to rescue the Tang Wangye." ”

"What a big deal, as expected, although the phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, but there are still three nails in the rotten ship, seeing that the Tang Wang's party building is about to fall, Tang Wang is also difficult to protect himself, but there will always be people who work hard to save Tang Wang, it has nothing to do with loyalty, only for himself." Zheng Wen said without raising his head.

Obviously, he knows all these in his heart, Tang Wang Party is a general term in Zheng Wen's heart for Tang King Zheng Jiao and his enveloping forces, in fact, more than one-third of the officials below the level of the six departments of Yanjing Central Servant Lang are more or less related to Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang, Zhou Wang Zheng Tong, and Tang King Zheng Jiao, but Zheng Wen can't strictly define which force they belong to, because before he ascended the throne, except for those bigwigs and the officials under his shelter, other low-level officials with no background want to be promoted. If you want to achieve something in officialdom, you have to be able to stand in line, especially when the three of them each pull up a vote to work for the position of prince in the court, and the officials with eyes either actively or passively join one of the three forces.

At first, Zheng Wen was still shocked when he learned about these situations, but gradually he understood that it was just a special pearl product of a special period.

When Zheng Yi heard this, he frowned, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister got the news, and this time the Taiyuan royal family also intervened!" ”

"What do you say? Taiyuan royal family? As soon as Zheng Yi's words fell, Zheng Wen asked in disbelief.

So he raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, stared at Zheng Yi's face, and then asked, "Zheng Yi, you said the Taiyuan Wang family?" The tone was calm, but he still didn't believe it, and asked emphatically.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister received the news that the forces of the Wang family in Beijing have moved, and the order personally passed on by the person in the Zhongchangle Palace has asked the Wang family to rescue Tang King Zheng Jiao with all their might, and many old-school aristocratic forces, emerging aristocratic forces and civil forces in Beijing have agreed to take action." Zheng Yi said word by word.

Zheng Wen listened, but smiled, and then said, "Oh, what are the forces?" ”

When Zheng saw it, he said solemnly: "The minister has received the exact news, except for the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Qufu Kong clan, the Luoyang Chen clan, the Handan Zhao clan, the Chang'an Yang clan, and the Yanjing Zheng clan, they all plan to make a move, and are ready to mobilize their subordinate forces to write to Your Majesty." ”

"As for the military nobles, the old-school aristocratic Kaifeng Hou Wu family, the Datong Hou Yu family, and the emerging aristocratic Quanzhou Hou Sun family, these are all going to be shot, as for the rest, the minister has not specifically investigated, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It's amazing, I didn't expect that this Taiyuan royal family would have such a huge influence, as soon as it was shot, the five great families and the three major military nobles in the north actually put down Jiedi Qiqi to make a move, it's amazing!" Zheng Wen said surprisingly.

Zheng Wen was indeed shocked in his heart, and he also had a new understanding of the family, he had underestimated the family before.

In the past, he felt that although the family was very remarkable, the poetry and books were heirlooms, and they had some influence in the court, but just like that, after all, there were no obvious family factions in the court, and the Jinling Xie family was not almost destroyed, which gave him a deep illusion, and he always felt that the family was just like that, not much of a big deal!

This time he was taken aback, it seems that his cheap father is usually not obvious, but there is quite a ravine in his heart, these bigwigs in the court, there are very few family factions, it seems that it is better to check it out, and also have a long insight, how his cheap father did it.

After thinking about it, Zheng Wen stared at Zheng Yi's eyes, and asked again: "Zheng Yi, are you saying that the Zheng family in Yanjing is also involved?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Facing Zheng Wen's gaze, Zheng Yi replied without hesitation.

"Did the Zheng family take the wrong medicine? Have you forgotten your duty? They dare to participate in this kind of thing, is it not good for Daqian's sword? Although Zheng Wen's words were calm, he was quite angry in his heart.

The Yanjing Zheng family, one of the six great families in the Northland, although it can be regarded as a royal family, it is only in name. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qian, Emperor Taizu felt that the family power was weak, so he accepted the Zheng family, a small family in Yanjing, who took the initiative to contribute, as the imperial family.

Because of this, the Zheng family in Yanjing has always been very low-key, and the real royal family is also very wary of it.

It's just that I didn't expect to be involved this time, is it because I can't bear the loneliness and want to speak out? Or is it the accumulation of many years, thinking that you can wrestle the wrist of the royal family? Or do you want to fish in troubled waters?

Zheng Wen can't help but think about it too much, you must know that this is not a peaceful family. When Emperor Taizu had just passed away and Emperor Taizong had just ascended the throne, this family had jumped out to ask for power, but it was only later beaten back; During the reign of Emperor Sejong, Zheng Wen's grandfather, he was beaten hard because the family was indiscriminately meddling in officialdom for personal gain; Even Zheng Wen knew that on the night when his cheap father had just collapsed, the family had been secretly active, but it only died down later.

So after listening to Zheng Yi's words, Zheng Wen was so angry, I don't know what moths will be behind this?

Zheng Wen stood up, paced in the imperial study, thought about it, walked in front of Zheng Yi, and then said to him: "Zheng Yi, you take my holy decree to the Zheng family, remove Zheng Chongnan from the post of the chief general of the Southern Army, and say to the head of the Zheng family, be safe, only your duty can you live a long time, jumping off the beam clown, it is not enough, I am watching!" ”

"No!" After listening to Zheng Wen's words, Zheng Yi replied happily, with a slight smile on his face.

……

Half an hour later, the main hall of the Zheng Mansion in Yanjing was full of people kneeling in unison, Zheng He, the head of the Zheng family, and his eldest son, the Lord of Nanjing, solemnly knelt in the front, and the others knelt on the ground in turn.

Zheng Yiyi was dressed in a flying fish suit, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and recited aloud with a big open decree: "The emperor's edict said: The chief general of the Southern Army is solemn, he has served as the chief general of the Southern Army for many years, he does not want to make progress, and abuses his power...... I am very disappointed, exempt from the post of commander of the solemn Southern Army, drink this! General Zheng, take the order! ”

"The minister takes the order." solemnly knelt on the ground, and received the holy decree with a pale face.

When Zheng saw it, his heart was secretly cool, and he said again: "Your Majesty's dictation: Be safe, only your duty can you live a long time, jumping off the beam clown, it's not enough, I look at it!" ”

After speaking, he rose up, and the other brocade guards immediately followed.

When Zheng He, the head of the Zheng family, heard this, his face changed drastically, his mind was blank, and he fainted to the ground all of a sudden.

Suddenly, the Zheng family was a piece of chickens and dogs.
