At this time, Zheng Wen came out of the imperial study, standing under the eaves of the palace, looking at the sky outside that was swept by heavy rain.

What I was thinking about in my heart was the case of this imperial tomb, whether to investigate it or not?

Check it out or not, it doesn't matter if you stand in Zheng Wen's position.

On the one hand, there are already bigger things happening in the DPRK, and the influence of this case in the DPRK and China has been reduced to a minimum, and at most there are only some corrupt Confucians, clans, etc., who will have opinions, but these obviously cannot hurt Zheng Xi in the slightest.

On the other hand, Zheng Wen is naturally in an invincible position, and so far in this matter, no matter who does it in the end, he can take advantage of the situation to fight these forces.

At this time, if the case is stopped and not investigated, then this pot will undoubtedly fall on Tang Wang Zhengjiao, and by the way, it will also be related to Wang Zhengtong last week, then these two will undoubtedly become the biggest losers in this matter, and Zheng Wen can also take advantage of the situation to fight the forces of these two.

Check it, I don't know what bull ghosts and snake gods will be pulled out, and Zheng Wen's heart is not at the bottom.

But after thinking about the situation in the court, Zheng Wen still decided to investigate to the end.

Why?

On the one hand, because there are too many people and too many things in the follow-up of Ma Yuan's case, the influence of this case is too great, and the resistance of the DPRK and China will inevitably be great, Zheng Wen hopes that the case of Emperor Zha will help him distract some attention.

On the other hand, the case of the emperor's tomb has now been personally ended by the three princes, and the investigation of this case will inevitably distract most of their energy, and also save them from making trouble for Zheng Wen in the court.

Comparing the check and the non-check, the size of Zheng Wen's benefit, it is obvious that the check is more in line with Zheng Wen's interests.

And it has to be investigated in a big way, as for some damage to his reputation, Zheng Wen doesn't care at all.

And Guo Cheng, who was kneeling in the rain, was sent back to Guo's mansion, and Zheng Wen still didn't see him in the end.

……

In the imperial study, Zheng Wen said to Huang An: "Companion, draft edict: In view of the more complicated situation of the imperial tomb case, as the son of the first emperor, I must give an explanation to the first emperor." With Prime Minister Liu Jian as the chief envoy, Zong Zhengqing, Song King Zheng Zhao, Yan King Zheng Zhuang, and Jingying Jiedu envoy Qin Fei as deputy envoys, and one person from each of the six ministries and the Inspectorate as a deputy to watch, I must find out a result. ”

Huang An listened, but he didn't understand in his heart, why did His Majesty make such a secret matter known to everyone, but he didn't dare to ask, but the movements of his hands were not slow, and he quickly prepared the edict.

Zheng Wen looked at it and said, "Send it down!" ”

On that day, the government and the opposition knew everything, and rumors were flying all over the sky.

……

Penal Department.

Zhou Kuo listened to this edict, and then said to Guo Huai: "Your Majesty is helping us share the pressure, we have to hurry up!" ”

Guo Huai listened, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, this is well-intentioned!" We have betrayed the trust of Your Majesty! ”

The two worked harder.

After listening to this edict, the Zuodu Yushi stationed in the household department also worked harder to thoroughly investigate the entire household department, because of this edict, he became the biggest official in the household department, and there was no constraint on the official face, he could better straighten out the household department, and he was only full of emotion in his heart, His Majesty was well-intentioned!

……

And Prime Minister Liu Jian listened, pondered for a moment, and showed a meaningful smile!

……

And Qin Fei listened to the Jingying Festival, and only after a long time did he say to himself: "Your Majesty is getting more and more sophisticated!" ”

……

And the Song Palace.

When Song King Zheng Zhao heard this, he was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said to the left and right: "Alas, my old bone is still involved in the court after all!" ”

Zheng Zhao, the king of Song, was forty-two years old, the half-brother of Zheng Wen's cheap father, deeply favored by the first emperor, was named the king of Song, acted in Zongzheng Temple, and lived in the capital for many years.

But who knows if it was the jealousy of the first emperor!

……

And Yanwangfu.

Zheng Zhuang and Sun Xiao sat opposite each other.

Zheng Zhuang listened to this edict and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Sir, why is this? Your Majesty wants to make this matter known to everyone, doesn't he want to be famous? There was a hint of trepidation in his tone.

Sun Xiao listened and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Lord Wang, in my opinion, Your Majesty is diverting attention. ”

"Oh, sir, where does this begin?" Zheng Zhuang asked again.

"Lord Wang, there are only two major events in the court now, one is the Imperial Tomb case, and the other is the Ma Yuan case. The previous Imperial Tomb case was undoubtedly the biggest thing, but with the deepening of the investigation of the Ma Yuan case, more and more officials were involved, the interests involved were also getting bigger and bigger, and the resistance encountered would be greater and greater. ”

"And Your Majesty, what he is most concerned about in his eyes is undoubtedly the Ma Yuan case, followed by the Emperor Tomb case, after all, the Ma Yuan case is related to his vital interests, and the Emperor Tomb case is invincible earlier. As for the loss of some fame, in his opinion, it is not elegant. ”

His Majesty's fanfare in the trial of the Imperial Tomb case is an artificial diversion of attention, and he wants to forcibly shift the attention of the people of the world to the Imperial Tomb case, so that it will be more convenient for the trial and investigation of the Ma Yuan case. Although this may not have much effect on the DPRK and Chinese officials, it still has some effect. ”

Sun Xiao listened, and then spoke.

Zheng Zhuang listened, nodded, indicating that he understood, and then spoke again: "Do you still use this case to mix up the three princes of Lone and the other three, and prevent the three of them from causing trouble for him in the court?" ”

Sun Xiao listened, pondered for a while, then nodded, and then spoke: "The prince is right, Your Majesty does mean this, I really didn't expect it this time." ”

Sun Xiao had actually thought of it a long time ago, but he could not say it, the strategist had to learn to hide his clumsiness.

Zheng Zhuang listened to it, and then spoke: "Don't Your Majesty still trust Gu ......" This sentence was stopped before he finished speaking.

After a pause, Zheng Zhuangcai said again: "This case of the Emperor's Tomb is even more confusing now, first Lone's good seventh brother is the mastermind, and then he dragged Lone's good second brother into the water, if you don't know that Lone will also be dragged into the water, you say, what should Lone do to wade through this muddy water?" ”

Sun Xiao listened, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Lord Wang, you are already in the game, it is too difficult to come out, and this situation is confusing, you can only watch the changes and deal with it carefully, I can't think of any good way." ”

Zheng Zhuang listened, nodded, and then said, "It's almost the same as Gu Niang." You say, today in the hall of the Ministry of Rites, is what Xue An said true? ”

Sun Xiao listened and said, "I don't know, but it's obviously not that important if it's true or not, obviously Lord Zhou has been dragged into the water." ”

When Zheng Zhuang heard this, he immediately laughed......

Sun Xiao was a little confused.

……

And the palace of the king of Zhou.

Zheng Tong, the king of Zhou, was a little angry, he had smashed a lot of teacups in the hall, and kept saying: "Zheng Jiao, you little bastard, you are incompatible with you......"

The people around him did not dare to step forward to dissuade him, until a man who was a little short and almost fifty years old in appearance came to the hall to persuade Zheng Tong, the king of Zhou, who was getting angry.

This person is Zheng Tong's chief strategist Tao Hua, who is a scholar and has won Zheng Tong's trust, so he persuaded him, and Zheng Tong stopped.

After sitting down, Zheng Tong took the lead in saying: "Sir, Lone was careless this time, I didn't expect to be overshadowed by Lao Qi, and Lone is afraid that he will not be able to wash it away if he jumps into the Yellow River this time." ”

Tao Hua listened, nodded, and then said: "This time, the prince was indeed yin, but this method is a subordinate work, and the prince is afraid that he has been targeted a long time ago, but it is not caused by carelessness." ”

Zheng Tong listened, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Sir, you say, who did this?" ”

Tao Hua listened, was silent for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lord Wang, in my opinion, this matter is eighty percent of Lord Yan's doing!" ”

"What? What did you say? You said it was Brother Lone's doing. When Zheng Tong heard this, he immediately exploded.

"How so?" Zheng Tong asked again.

Tao Hua listened, nodded, and after a long while, he spoke: "Lord Wang, this matter is in the capital, and only four people have the ability to complete it quietly. Your Majesty, Wang Ye, Yan Wang Ye, Tang Wang Ye. ”

Zheng Tong listened, nodded, and acquiesced.

"Your Majesty can't do it, he can't do it, and he doesn't need to do it." Tao Hua said again.

Zheng Tong nodded and acquiesced.

"Tang Wangye was originally the most unlikely, because he was favored by the first emperor, but almost all the so-called evidence points to him, but this obviously shows that this thing cannot be done by him, because if he did it, he can't leave so much so-called evidence, then obviously someone deliberately planted him in this matter."

"Moreover, there is such a fuss today, Lord Wang, you were dragged into the water by Lord Tang, no matter whether this matter in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites was done by Lord Tang on his own initiative, it shows from the side that Lord Tang did not do it."

Zheng Zhuang listened and nodded, with a slight look of understanding on his face.

Tao Hua continued: "Lord Wang, this incident happened today in the hall of the Ministry of Rites. If Tang Wangye took the initiative to do it, then it means that Tang Wangye wants to drag you into the water; If it wasn't Tang Wangye who took the initiative to do it, then it was the people behind the scenes who did it, and the purpose was obviously to put the pot on the heads of the prince and Zhou Wangye in the imperial tomb case. Then, he will be safe, and no one will ever find out, and if he does, he will not be able to help him. ”

"Moreover, among these four people, it is not Your Majesty, it is not Prince Tang, and it is not Lord Wangye, so it can only be Lord Yan!"

"And according to the judgment that whoever benefits is the mastermind, only Yan Wangye is suitable, Your Majesty doesn't mention it, Tang Wangye and Wang Ye, your interests are damaged, isn't it in disguise to enhance the strength of Yan Wangye."

"As for the purpose of Lord Yan, I'm afraid it's not this, it's just Lord Yan's ultimate purpose, and the old man can't guess it." Tao Hua said again.

Zheng Tong listened, his spirit was in a trance for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Mr.'s analysis is to the point, it is true, and only the good brother of Gu is the most likely!" ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Lone's good brother would have such a deep city, it seems that Lone will have to guard against him in the future, don't be yin anymore, and I don't know it."

Zheng Tong continued: "Sir, Lone's good ninth brother has checked it with great fanfare, and Lone knows his purpose, but you say, what should Lone do?" ”

Tao Hua listened, pondered for a while, and then said: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty wants to cover the three of you princes in this case, this is a conspiracy, and it is also the benefit of righteousness, you can't break free, you can only take the initiative to participate, wait and see what happens, and see if you can seek some benefits for yourself." ”

Zheng Tong listened, nodded, and then spoke: "That's it!" ”
