Besides, the Prime Minister's Mansion played Cao Zheng Yin's mansion, since Zheng Yin took medicine and committed suicide with his full name, and then he was cured by Chao Buzhi, the threshold of Zheng Mansion has never been short of people to visit.

After all, although Tao Qing and Chao Cuo fought each other, Zheng Yin was not a person inside and out, but he was a loyal and filial son, a person with a temperate and righteous attitude, and such a person was the existence that people with a simple atmosphere in the Western Han Dynasty liked to befriend.

Of course, there is a person with status in today's Zheng Mansion, that is, the lieutenant Zhidu who has just been transferred to Chang'an.

It's not that the identity of other people is not noble, after all, Chao Cuo has been here, but Zhi is the only one who has nothing to do with this matter, and Zhi Du is in charge of the lieutenant and Zhijinwu, so it can be seen that this person is not just here for a simple visit!

Sure enough, Zhi Du and Zheng Yin had been talking in the house, and when it got dark, Zhi Du had not come out yet, and it was half a day.

Zheng Wang, who was standing outside the door, was a little uneasy, because there were some quarrels from time to time, she was afraid, she was afraid of losing her husband, although she was also a woman, but she was also aware of the treacherous clouds in Chang'an City, after all, the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion Cao Cao was forced to commit suicide, isn't it a big deal?

The moon hangs high, and the moonlight is quite bright.

"Squeak" There was a soft sound, the door that had been closed opened open, and Zhi Du, who had a calm face, walked out of it, and behind him was Zheng Yin, who had a sallow face and was quite tired.

Zhi Du glanced at Zheng Wang, who was standing outside the door, and then nodded, and Zheng Wang hurriedly saluted.

Looking at Zhidu's figure, and then at Zheng Wang's worried eyes, Zheng Yin said in a hoarse voice: "Lieutenant Zhi, what you are planning is very big, Zheng Yin does not dare to participate. ”

Hearing this, Zhi Du turned around and said: "Zheng Zuocao died the day before yesterday, why don't you dare to expose the affairs of the court, court, black and dark with Zhi Du today?" ”

Zheng Yin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Lieutenant Zhi, you are in a high position, how can you know the sorrow of our petty officials?" ”

"The contemptible Zheng Yin was too filial piety and honesty in Mengyanmen, and since then he has been conscientious and conscientious for more than ten years, and he does not dare to slack off, although he has no outstanding merits, but he also has hard work."

"But that day, Zheng Mou stopped Dr. Chao in order to fulfill his duties, who would have thought that Dr. Chao would rely on His Majesty's favor and trust to treat the court law as if it were nothing, and take the edict without permission, how could Zheng stop it?"

"However, the prime minister has a gap with the doctor, this is a matter known to the government and the opposition, as a prime minister's official, how dare Zheng survive? If you don't commit suicide, wouldn't you be punished by Mingzheng, and it will affect the old and young in the family? ”

"Later, Chao Buzhi saved the lives of the whole family, that is, Zheng's only son, Zheng is already a person who has died once, everything is underestimated, see clearly, do you say Zheng will still be involved?"

After saying these words, Zheng Yin looked at Zheng Wang's family with deep eyes and said: "At this time, Zheng has nothing else to think about, but he is willing to spend the rest of his life with his wife!" ”

"What's more, with the weight of the prime minister, you can't defeat Doctor Chao, what can you do?"

Hearing this, Zhi Du glanced at Zheng Yin deeply, he knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't change this person who had already made up his mind, so he hugged his fists and left.

Looking at Zhidu in the distance, Zheng Wang said worriedly: "This matter won't bring you anything wrong, right?" ”

Zheng Yin spread his hands when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I have become this picture of no one and no ghost, what else is wrong?" ”

Of course, Zhi Du will not embarrass Zheng Yin, after all, he still has to be faced, not to mention that Zheng Yin's concept of life is quite similar to him, when Zhi served Emperor Wen as a Lang official, he did not open the private letter of intercession, and gave gifts, he did not accept it, and he did not listen to private requests.

Zhi Du often said to himself: "I have turned my back on my parents to become an official, I should serve my duties in the official position, maintain discipline and die, after all, I can't care about my wife and children." ”

So although Ming Mianzhi is quite disdainful of Zheng Yin, he actually has some sympathy, after all, goshawks are also human!

It's not that Zheng Yin has to appear, but Zhi Du likes to plan and then act, everything is under his control, and he prefers to hit it with one hit, of course, this is also his philosophy, either don't do it, or do it cleanly and thoroughly.

These can be seen from the means of Zhidu to govern Jinan County.

When Zhidu came to Jinan County, he adopted the means of countering violence with violence, and after he took office, he collected the evidence of the crimes of several big families such as the Lu family, and when the evidence was conclusive, he directly killed their chief villains and the whole family, and did not give them time to react (find a relationship and fight for background), and the rest of the bad guys with big surnames were so frightened that their thighs trembled, and they did not dare to confront the government again.

Therefore, Jinan County can not close its doors at night and leave the road behind.

Today, Zhidu came to Zheng Yin's house for these reasons, after all, Zheng Yin is the direct victim, and he is the only witness who witnessed Chao Yin's arrogance and forcible edict.

Since Zhidu decided to burn the first fire on Chao Cuo's body, it must be completely certain.

Although Zhi Du regarded the needs of Emperor Jing as the first priority, this does not mean that he likes Chao Cuo, because Chao Cuo is a Legalist, Zhang Ou is a Legalist, and he Zhidu is also a Legalist, and there are too many Legalists above the court.

Those who can change and break off the Legalist lineage of Zhidu, or the greatest threat to him, are the Change, Reform, Faction, and Legalism represented by Chao Cuo and the pseudo-Legalists of Outer Law and Inner Confucianism represented by Zhang Ou, these are the great enemies of Zhidu.

After all, the battle for Taoism and the view of the gateway involve all aspects, compared with the foreign enemy Huang Lao's doctrine, Confucianism and other hundred schools, Zhi Du feels that "the outside must first settle the inside", and must form a unity within the Legalists, and then can the decisive battle against the hundred schools.

Zhang Ouren is an elder, there is no need to worry, but Chao is not wrong, so kill Chao Cuo, this is Zhidu's true thought, so he visited Zheng Yin.

However, the result disappointed Zhidu, Zheng Yin was unwilling to wade into troubled waters, after all, he had just landed smoothly, and Zhidu couldn't.

Zhi Du walked while thinking, and after a while he walked out of the gate of the Zheng Mansion, but he saw the servant who was driving the car holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and looking through them, which was very strange, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is written on this bamboo slip?" ”

The servant smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "My lord, I can't read, have you forgotten?" ”

Zhi Du smiled: "Since you can't read, what are you flipping around?" Take it for me to see. ”

Hearing this, the servant hurriedly handed the bamboo slip to Zhidu, who opened the book and only read one sentence, and his face changed instantly: "Where did this come from?" ”
