45. Crying Temple continued

Zheng Zhao, the king of Song who watched all this on the side, was speechless in his heart, although he lived so big, and it was the first time he saw someone "crying in the temple", but such a strange way of driving people out of the temple really subverted his three views!

He really wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh, and his face was flushed.

Zheng Wen turned his head and glared at him fiercely, before he said viciously, "What's wrong?" Uncle Huang, you don't want to be smoked by me. ”

When Zheng Zhao heard this, he was immediately stunned, and he could only quickly lower his head, so that people could not see his face.

Zheng Wen turned around again, pointed at Zheng Jiao and Zheng Tong who were standing under the steps with a horsewhip and said, "What's wrong?" My two good brothers, taking advantage of my absence in the capital, gave me such a big play, did they want to turn against the sky? ”

After a pause, he said in a hoarse voice: "Today, here, in front of the temple of Emperor Taizu, I will tell you, no matter whether I am in the capital or not, the sky of this Yanjing City is still my sky, you don't want to think that if I am not there, you can pierce this day!" ”

The two people standing at the foot of the steps were now grinning in pain, but they were still motionless, but they didn't dare to look at Zheng Wen, after all, they did this thing a little inauthentically.

Zheng Wen softened his tone for a while, and then said in a flat tone: "As my elder brother, you two can enter the palace to ask to see me or write to me, why bother to go to Taizu's temple to make trouble, we are a family, this is not a joke for outsiders!" ”

Obviously, this is a bit of a nonsense with open eyes, this case of the emperor's tomb, from Zheng Wen's standpoint, he is the biggest beneficiary, so he doesn't care how his three good brothers fight at the bottom?

It's just that Zheng Wen didn't expect the two of them to give him such a play, which really gave Zheng Wen a headache and caught him off guard.

But politics itself is to compromise with each other, Zheng Wen just slapped them hard, let out a fierce breath, and drove them out of the temple of Emperor Taizu, this is a tough method, and it is also telling them to stop in moderation, don't force me to use strong means to solve it.

Then he spoke out to reassure them, because Zheng Wen didn't want this matter to expand further, and Zheng Wen would also have some compromises in the imperial tomb case, of course, this is Zheng Wen's psychological words, and it is impossible to tell them.

And Zheng Wen also plans to solve this matter as soon as possible, and he can't delay it any longer, otherwise I don't know what else will happen?

And Zheng Jiao and Zheng Tong still didn't say a word when they heard it, obviously this kind of clichΓ© would not leave even a ripple in his heart.

When Zheng Wen saw this, he spoke again: "I know, didn't you come to the Crying Temple to tell me that you didn't do this matter of the emperor's tomb, and you want to force me to compromise, then I am here today to tell you plainly that I will also compromise on this matter, but you two must not regret it!" ”

When the two people at the bottom heard this, they were happy in their hearts, and they only cared about being happy, and as for the words "don't regret it" in the back, they had already skipped it.

Zheng Jiao asked directly: "How is Your Majesty going to compromise?" My second brother and I didn't hear His Majesty's words, and we were always a little uneasy in our hearts, please make it clear to Your Majesty! "The tone is a little arrogant.

When Zheng Tong next to him heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly, obviously he was cheated again. This time, he and Zheng Jiao only temporarily cooperated once because of interests, obviously he didn't expect such a stubble, but when he opened his mouth, he stopped talking. But I made up my mind not to get too close to Zheng Jiao's guy in the future!

When Zheng Wen heard this, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and now he wanted to order the armor to arrest the two immediately, but in the end, reason overcame anger and calmed down his mind.

Only then did he smile and said: "My good seventh brother said well, I will give the two brothers a good talk, I will issue an order to question one chief judge and three deputy judges, and say that the three of them are not effective in trying the case, which has caused the name of the two good brothers to be damaged, and it is clearly stated in the holy decree that this matter has nothing to do with you, it is all caused by others' defilement, and you are innocent, okay?" ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces immediately turned pale, their bodies trembled violently, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "The ministers don't dare, please take back your majesty's order!" ”

Zheng Jiao didn't expect that he was just deliberately stimulating Zheng Wen, but he didn't expect it to make Zheng Wen mad.

Zheng Jiao, as the emperor's favorite son, was originally the most likely person to become the emperor, he deeply knew the embarrassment of his situation, as the emperor, Zheng Wen was deeply jealous of him, and even surpassed Zheng Zhuang and Zheng Tong, who were directly involved in the battle for the throne, so he stimulated Zheng Wen just now and pulled Zheng Tong into the water, so that Zheng Tong could share some of Zheng Wen's attention in the future, but he didn't expect this stimulation to stimulate problems, and he said such heavy words in front of the two of them.

If such a holy decree is made clear to the world, how will the two of them mix in the court in the future, this is to clearly tell the people of the world that they are persecuting the new king, and there is a suspicion of great rebellion, and in the future, all people of insight will avoid him like snakes and scorpions, and their reputation will be ruined.

Because they are obviously suspicious in this Imperial Tomb case, there must be a punishment, they just don't want the pot of the Imperial Tomb case to be on them, but Zheng Wen's words clearly told them that this matter has nothing to do with them, and helped them prove their innocence, but this is after the Wailing Temple incident, didn't this clearly tell the courtiers that they forced the new monarch to compromise in the Wailing Temple incident?

In this way, in the eyes of the courtiers, aren't the two of them a kingless and fatherless person, which makes them how to mix in the court in the future?

Of course, in this way, Zheng Wen's reputation will also suffer a great loss.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zheng Wen smiled again and said, "My two good brothers, what are you doing kneeling, it's cold on the ground, get up!" What about my proposal? Aren't you two crying temples today hoping that I will restore your innocence? Listen, won't I restore your innocence? What do you think? Impressed? I'm trying to damage my reputation and repay the innocence of my two good brothers, I'm a good person! ”

"The ministers don't dare, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" The two of them knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

"Don't dare, why don't you dare, you are very bold, you have even done the matter of crying temple, in your eyes, my majesty, you are afraid that you will not take it seriously." Zheng Wen said sharply again.

"Don't dare!" The two kneeling on the ground could only reply like this.

Although Zheng Wen's words entered their hearts, in their hearts, Zheng Wen was a lucky boy, the throne was smashed down from the sky and smashed on Zheng Wen, although it seems that he has done a good job so far, but he still can't dispel the strong jealousy in their hearts!

"If not, what do you want?" Zheng Wen said leisurely again.

"Don't dare!" The two kneeling on the ground, their heads were so low that they were about to fall to the ground, their faces were sweating like rain, and their faces were earthy, but no one noticed them.

Zheng Jiao now regrets his death in his heart, since the goal has been achieved, why bother to stimulate Zheng Wen again.

Obviously, Zheng Jiao has not yet adapted to the change of his identity, or maybe he doesn't want to change, after all, he was the most favored son of the first emperor and the prince who was the most promising to ascend to the throne, and he still has a sense of superiority in his heart, otherwise he would never dare to stimulate an emperor with words to stimulate an emperor with deep cities, because the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable and fickle.

And Zheng Tong's heart was filled with the words "pig teammates".

And at this time, Zheng Wen's heart was also thinking about how to deal with this matter?

I hold the handle of the two of them, but this handle is also hurting others and hurting myself, and I must deal with it well, otherwise it will be bad to lose both!

As an emperor, it's best not to go head-to-head with your enemies in person, because the gains outweigh the losses, no one is more noble than your identity, it is natural for you to win, and you will be ridiculed if you lose, so as an emperor, it is best for you to let your little brother go first, you pick up the cheap behind, even if you lose, you have room to spare. As an emperor, the most important thing is not to defeat the enemy, but to take care of yourself.

Therefore, Zheng Wen saw Zheng Zhao, the king of the Song Dynasty, who was on the sidelines, and as soon as Zheng Wen's mind turned, he opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Huang, you see my two imperial brothers kneeling on the ground, obviously they have realized their deep mistakes about the Wailing Temple, but after all, they are a family with me, Uncle Huang, as Zong Zhengqing, you are highly respected in the royal family, how do you think I should deal with them properly?" ”

When Zheng Zhao heard this, he was speechless in his heart, you are your imperial uncle and I am deaf and blind, don't you see how you forced them to kneel on the ground? This can be regarded as "they have realized a deep mistake in the matter of the Wailing Temple", and you are too quick to change your concept!

Zheng Zhao complained a lot in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he also knew that Zheng Wen did it on purpose, and as Zong Zhengqing, this crying temple incident itself was his dereliction of duty, this was Zheng Wen giving him a chance to make amends.

So, Zheng Zhao pondered for a while before he spoke again: "Your Majesty, after all, this is the first time, there is no precedent, and the minister can't refer to it, so it is better for Your Majesty to let them kneel here for a day, which can be regarded as a punishment for Emperor Taizu, after all, they are all descendants of Emperor Taizu, and it is not good to be punished heavily, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Zheng Wen listened, thought for a while, nodded, and then said to the two of them seriously: "My two good brothers, did you hear Uncle I'm here?" ”

"Let you kneel here for a day, accompany Emperor Taizu, and then punish him for five years, and you will not be allowed to leave the house without an edict within three years, anyway, you must also keep filial piety, this time I will not pursue it, kneel!"

Zheng Wen thought that he had spent a lot of money today, and he felt distressed when he thought about it, and he could save a little bit, so he made up for the following words.

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty. The two knelt down and said, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Zheng Zhao, who was standing on the side, spit out again in his heart, how did the words in the back become what I said.

Zheng Wen turned his head and glanced at Zheng Zhao before he said again: "Uncle Huang is very leisurely!" I thought about it for a while, Uncle Huang, as Zong Zhengqing, should stay here and supervise them! ”

After speaking, without waiting for a response, Zheng Wen limped away.
