After the Zheng family finished discussing, they rested for a day, and left Rongyang one after another and returned to their residences, but no one would live in peace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoChang'an Zheng Yuanxiu Mansion; Zheng Yuanxiu, Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng discussed together:

"In-laws, what does the Zheng family mean?"

"Depending on the situation, some people in the Zheng family are inclined to the prince's faction, especially the Zheng family in the south who has just returned from Jiangnan to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and the five brothers led by Zheng Yuantong who married the Xie family in Jiangnan, as well as Zheng Yuancong, the son of the patriarch Zheng Yi, they should all be supporters of the prince or covertly, and Zheng Weishan, represented by Sanfang, seems to be more inclined to the king of Han." Zheng Yuanxiu said.

"Hmmm! Zheng Weishan, hum! I've been in contact with him, this person has never spoken half the truth, I can't believe it all, the battle within the royal family, I don't believe that he will have no follow-up, what does the old patriarch mean? ”

"The old patriarch said that he would enter the capital face saint if he had a chance, and it seems that he would not fail to show his hole cards at the last moment." Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng glanced at each other, and read three words from each other's eyes: "Old fox." ”

Chang'an Zheng Weishan Mansion; "Fuck, Zheng Guangxing, this old bastard, it wasn't Lao Tzu who matched them with the Zheng clan in the south, they want to return to the Rongyang genealogy, let's dream! Lao Tzu gave them so many benefits and made so many concessions, and at the last moment he betrayed me. Zheng Weishan lost his temper in his own home, and even his favorite gold-inlaid seven treasure jade Ruyi was broken, and the subordinates were terrified when they waited for him, because of a trivial matter, they had already whipped the cane and scolded more than a dozen people, and another subordinate died of his injuries. But in his eyes, the subordinate is just a dog he raised, and when he dies, he will be dragged out and buried, and it is a big deal to 'send mercy' to give money to a few coffins.

"Humph! Even so, what can I do! I have a way to deal with it. With that, he spread out a piece of rice paper on his desk and wrote a letter to his eldest son. Said that a large number of people in the clan have decided to support the king of Han to seize the throne, so that the king of Han is ready to raise troops, and we will go all out to assist the king of Han and prepare for his future high-ranking officials Houlu, after writing.

"Someone's coming!"

"What do you command?" A housekeeper walked in.

"Call Zheng An in."

"Yes!"

Zheng An is Zheng Weishan's domestic servant, he grew up with Zheng Weishan since he was a child, he started as a follower and went to the steward, he has always been loyal to Zheng Weishan, and he is Zheng Weishan's cronies, so Zheng Weishan let him handle some private matters.

"Go and bring this letter to Taiyuan and hand it over to the eldest prince. Let him read it and pass it on to the king of Han, and tell him that the great thing has been successful. There's also a phrase that you tell him personally, let him improvise. After Zheng An went out, Zheng Weishan's whole body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the chair, tears rolling in his eyes, "Gang'er, Dad is sorry for you." After a while, Zheng Weishan wiped away his tears, and there seemed to be another voice in his heart saying to himself: "The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, a big husband cannot be without power for a day, Gang'er, for the position of the patriarch, what if you sacrifice your life for the family, your life is given by me, and it is understandable that I want to take it back, anyway, I still have a few sons, not worse than you." After thinking about it, I felt better, changed into a common person's clothes, and went out through the back door.

In Gong County, not far from Rongyang, Zheng Yuancong, who returned home, was also thinking in his study. "Humph! The little bastard is still like that, the ponytail lifts the tofu, and he can't lift it. But the old guy still doesn't seem to have changed his mind, huh! In the past, good intentions were in the world, only favored good wishes, it seemed that there was only one son of him, and he didn't look at me much, and finally waited until he died, and a little bastard came out to block the way with me, this time I saw that the other houses had their own ghosts, I don't believe that they didn't have their own plans, if I can show more in this crisis, maybe the old guy's title and the position of the patriarch will be mine. Forget it, I'll just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. What will I do when I see the old guy and the little bastard? In-laws, I will ask you for help from the contact between Jiangnan and Donggong. ”

"Rest assured, the cooperation between the Zhang family in Jiangnan and us has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and Zhang Jiling, the big boss of the Zhang family, had some friendship with me when he was not in power, and the Zhang family is the prince's money bag in the Jiangnan area, and some news was revealed to me by him, you can rest assured." The person who talked to Zheng Yuancong was his in-law Xu Gai, who was originally a commoner in Gong County, but because he was calm and flexible, and was good at winning over local officials, he got rich with business, took the Central Plains as the industrial foundation, and continued to develop, and the industry spread all over the country, and he was kind to the surrounding people after making a fortune. Therefore, it has a great local reputation in Gong County. When Zheng Yuancong first came to Gongxian County, his foundation was unstable, Xu Gai had a good eye, took the initiative to make friends, and helped Zheng Yuancong a lot, Zheng Yuancong didn't want to go, and it happened that his wife Cui gave birth to a daughter, so he set a baby kiss with Xu Gai's son. He was also often consulted on some things.

In the East Palace of Chang'an, Prince Yang Guang listened to his subordinates report to him on the dynamics of all parties.

"Prince Qiqi, according to the news obtained by the minister, now the Rongyang Zheng family is not worried, most of the people clearly support His Highness, and there are still people who are willing to be bait for His Highness and help His Highness lure out those 'big fish'. His Highness only needs to collect the net when the time comes. ”

"Hmmm! It's very good, but this thing has to be done carefully, what the palace wants is to uproot, and some people must not be allowed to have a chance to turn over. Yang Guang said, with a fierce light on his face.

and the state of the Han Palace.

"Zheng Gang, are you saying that the Rongyang Zheng clan has nothing to say except for the southern Zheng clan and a small number of clan houses that are married to the Jiangnan family, and Zheng Yi didn't say a word about the old immortal, his son Zheng Yuancong supports the crown prince, and your father has contacted more than half of the Zheng clan to support this king, but the condition is that this king helps your father win the position of patriarch, right?"

"Yes. My father said that the future of King Han is my future, and in the future, my glory and wealth and the glory of the family will be tied to His Royal Highness. This is a handwritten letter from my father to His Royal Highness. King Han read Zheng Weishan's letter, put it on a candle and lit it, and watched as the letter burned to ashes in the firelight.

"Keren, what's going on over there in Luan? In addition, are you Taiyuan Wang willing to support the king's rebels and thieves? Yang Liang looked at Wang Keren and asked.

"Your Highness, according to Lu An, those old ministers are all closed to guests, and they won't even let him in when he goes. So...... Before he could finish speaking, Yang Liang was a little impatient.

"Stupid, I can't even do this little thing, I have long seen that these dolls are not successful enough, and they are more than defeated. Well! What if this king didn't want them to cover for this king, so the lonely king ignored them? Also, those old and immortal people, one by one, holding the shelves of old courtiers, don't know how to lift! Seeing that King Han was angry, Zheng Gang and Wang Keren both lowered their heads and did not speak.

"Forget it, those old ministers are scared of being rectified by their father's thunderous methods. Besides, without those old guys getting in the way, we've saved a lot of trouble. Keren, Taiyuan Wang's side。。。。。。 ”

"Don't worry, my father has already discussed with many elders in the clan room, and the whole clan has agreed to fully support Your Highness, and we have also appointed our family's talented son Wang Fei to come to give advice to the prince, and I have also talked with the same clan of the Yao Yu Wang clan, and they have also promised to take concerted action with us. What needs to be done now is to test the generals of the Bingzhou battalion to see if they are willing to side with the prince at that time. ”

"Don't worry about this, those soldiers and generals have followed this king to fight in the north and south for many years, and the lone king is sure of them!" Yang Liang said, his face revealing incomparable confidence.

"If you have done something, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded. Zheng Gang, this king promoted you to the rank of Zhengliupin guerrilla general. Do it well, and the king will do what your father asked me to do when he succeeds. In addition, Keren, after your Taiyuan Wang clan helps this king succeed, your Wang family will definitely be more noble. ”

"Thank you. The humble rank is positioned as the prince's great cause, and he has done his best, and he has died. After Zheng Gang read his father's letter, he had some doubts in his heart, and Zheng An's words about his father asking him to improvise made the doubts in his heart even greater. A voice said to him in his heart, "Am I on a thief ship here?" Also, will I be able to keep my head in the future? And in Wang Keren's heart, he was also recalling what his father said to him in Taiyuan Palace:

"Keren, the ambition of the King of Han is now starting to swell, the greater the fight between him and the crown prince, the better it will be for our future survival, what we have to do now is to add more fire to the side, so that this fire burns a little more vigorously, until this fire burns them all to ashes. Our day of emergence has arrived. ”

"Father, the prince is very kind to the child, let's calculate whether he is 。。。。。。 like this" Before he could finish speaking, he received a slap in the face.

"Qi'er, you have to remember that people can only be above people, and must not be under people, the lesson of Wang Ren's father and son is that they are just people who play games, not people who make the rules of the game, so they lose. Since ancient times, there have been emperors who take turns to do it, and now they come to my family. Since their Yang family is fighting so hard now, the day of our Wang family's hoe is just around the corner, and it is time for us to sit on the top of the Jinluan Palace. As a person, you must not have the kindness of a woman, as the so-called small amount is not a gentleman, and no poison is not a husband. You have to think it through. ”
