Chapter 929: Debasement
"Lord Cen, what a good means, admire, admire, just for justice? Hehe, I'm afraid that's not what you think in your heart! Everyone walked out of the hall, and Wei Yuancheng said to Cen Wenwen with some dissatisfaction.
"Master Wei, then Zheng Renji is also a capable official, although it is some mistakes, but where can this official not make mistakes? Even you and I are the same, but after all, he has some credit, if it is usual, it will be forgotten, but now he is forced by those powerful counties, if the court does not come out, which official will do things for the court in the future? I'm afraid they will be persecuted by those powerful people, and at that time, my majesty's holy decree may really not be able to get out of the customs. Cen Wen smiled and said unhurriedly.
"Hmph, just your rhetoric, but you can't hide your true purpose, and I don't know who you support among the princes, Zheng Liwan is a prime minister, if such a woman enters the palace, maybe even the queen is not her opponent, at that time, hehe, Lord Cen, the queen will probably be unhappy." Wei Yuancheng sneered.
Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou also looked pale, Li Xin's approach is certainly on the basis of justice, but it is impossible to say that there is no selfishness in it. According to everyone's understanding of Li Xin, Zheng Liwan will definitely enter the palace in the end, if she can rely on this matter, maybe the favor of the beauty is also possible. It's just the situation in the harem, how can a courtier interfere?
"We don't know what happened to Zheng Liwan in the end, but this matter must be done. It is the credibility of the court and the axiom of the world. Capable officials should not be wronged. Cen Wenwen looked at Wei Yuancheng and said very seriously: "Lord Wei is also an old minister of the cabinet, if the children of the Wei family are also like Zheng Renji, they were wronged and framed, will Lord Wei still insist on his own point of view?" ”
Wei Yuancheng was speechless for a while, and he was secretly angry in his heart, if it was really the son of the Wei family who was wronged, he would naturally not let it go. But this matter is very important, and Wei Yuancheng doesn't look down on Cen Wenwen, this guy entered the Wude Hall later than himself, but he is very valued in front of Li Xin, which makes him feel a sense of crisis, so he will oppose Cen Wenwen.
"Alright, alright. The two lords, they are all ministers of the same palace and serve His Majesty, although there may be some differences in political opinions. But seek common ground while reserving differences! Discuss with each other, and complete the mission that His Majesty has given to you. Chu Suiliang stopped the two and said: "Lord Cen, this matter must be finished as soon as possible, Your Majesty is passing through Hedong, the main purpose is still in Taiyuan, the general expedition to the Turks, took away 300,000 cavalry, and the soldiers and horses in the border pass have been withdrawn. Taiyuan is the rear of the general, the place where the grain and grass are supplied, and the army needs to be in charge, and His Majesty can't wait for many days here. ”
"Master Chu rest assured. Within three days, the matter was resolved by the lower officials. Cen Wenwen hurriedly said.
Wei Yuancheng didn't speak, but snorted coldly, flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out of the hall. Chu Suiliang is right. He can't make trouble in front of His Majesty because of a trivial matter, otherwise, he, a scholar of the Martial Arts Palace, will be at the end of it. He has already tasted the loss of authority, and he will not do it again. What's more, the current Datang is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past, and the role of the Guanzhong family to Li Xin is obviously much smaller, you know, now there is no one in the Kanto family in the Wude Palace, and those guys are waiting for themselves to make mistakes!
However, Cen Wenwen reminded himself that the Jiangnan family's voice in the court has increased a lot, and there is also a Xiao Yu above, in the harem, there are two princesses of the former Sui, and Xiao Liang has another one, and the power is too great, which is not a good thing for the various forces in the court. If the imperial court does not have the Kanto family, the forces of all parties will not be balanced, and they will have to find a way to drive one of the Jiangnan families away. Cen Wenwen couldn't think about it, so he could only choose Xiao Yu, the old man. Anyway, Xiao Yu is already old, and it's time to go home and rest.
Not to mention Wei Yuancheng's calculations, in the prefect's yamen, Zheng Renji looked at his daughter in front of him, and just sighed, he knew that his daughter had gone to see Li Xin. At the same time, there is also a trace of chagrin in my heart.
"Father, the emperor will definitely promise to investigate this matter thoroughly, why is my father still so troubled?" Zheng Liwan rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.
"My affairs are naturally public in the imperial court, where do you need a girl to run around for your father, and, Your Majesty! You, hey! Zheng Renji didn't say any more, but sighed deeply. Zheng Renji knows what kind of character Li Xin is, and he knows what kind of character his daughter is, and what kind of appearance he has, but this matter is related to Li Xin's reputation, even Zheng Renji does not dare to bring it up.
"Your Majesty, how is the emperor's expression?" After holding back for a while, Zheng Renji asked, looking at Zheng Liwan's eyes full of a trace of exploration and embarrassment. These words really don't seem like what a father should ask.
Zheng Liwan Bingxue was smart, and immediately understood the meaning of Zheng Renji's words, her pink face was slightly red, her eyes showed a hint of shyness, and she was silent for a while before she said, "Your Majesty, it's okay!" Can't tell. Zheng Liwan showed a trace of regret, and a trace of unwillingness. Thinking that she Zheng Liwan prides herself on being extremely smart, where are the men in the world who he can't see through, but today he has encountered a setback, at least, what Li Xin thinks is not something she can see through.
"Humph! The emperor is in the early thirties this year, you are a little girl, you can see clearly what the emperor thinks? Zheng Renji said disdainfully: "Just stay at home these days, don't go out." Since the emperor is willing to see you, he will definitely investigate this case thoroughly. Go out at this time, and those guys will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. I believe that the emperor will definitely give me justice. ”
"If he doesn't give it, who will dare to do things for the officials of the court in the future!" Zheng Liwan said proudly.
"Shut up." Zheng Renji glared at his daughter, and the frightened Zheng Liwan spit out her fragrant tongue, and at this time she also knew that it was rude to say this about Li Xin. If it is spread, I am afraid that it will also be seized by the opponent.
"My lord, there are people outside who claim to be the scholars of Wude Hall University and want to see your lord."
At this time, the nervous voice of the subordinate came from outside the study. Scholar of Wude Palace, this is the top few people in the bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty. Come here at this time, I'm afraid something big will happen.
"Quick, let's go." Zheng Renji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the arrival of Cen Wenwen showed that the Tang Emperor was ready to intervene in this matter.
"Lord Cen." Zheng Renji personally welcomed Cen Wenwen in, but when he saw the middle-aged man beside Cen Wenwen, his face suddenly changed a lot, in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows this person, that is Shen Qianqiu, the commander of Jinyiwei. In officialdom, no one likes to be associated with the people of Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, Shen Qianqiu actually came here today.
"Lord Zheng." Cen Wenwen did not have the slightest slackness because of his high official position, but became more modest and cautious, making Zheng Renji nod his head, a real official should be such a posture.
"Miss Zheng." Shen Qianqiu saluted behind Zheng Renji.
Zheng Renji saw that his daughter didn't know when she came to the front hall, her face changed, she just looked at Shen Qianqiu's appearance, but sighed in her heart, Shen Qianqiu has such an attitude, which means that His Majesty the Emperor who is hiding in the deep palace also has this attitude, is his daughter also going to enter the palace?
"What does Master Zheng think of Hanzhong?" Cen Wenwen looked at the fragrant tea in front of him, picked it up, and said softly.
"Hanzhong?" Zheng Renji's face changed, and finally sighed: "Your Majesty has already issued a holy decree, and Hanzhong is also a good place, at least there can be a place to retire." "Although the scenery of Bashu is good, but that place is synonymous with barbarism and backwardness, Hedong is Shangjun, close to Gyeonggi, and being a prefect in this place is naturally better than Hanzhong.
"Hmph, ignorance." Although Shen Qianqiu values Zheng Liwan, he doesn't have a good impression of Zheng Renji, just now Zheng Renji's eyes were wary, but he saw it very clearly, although this Zheng Renji is a little capable, but he is really not good at insight, and his knowledge of Bashu is still docked in the past.
"Hehe, now that the official road from Chang'an to Hanzhong has been built, at least it can accommodate two carriages to walk, I believe that in the near future, Hanzhong must be a prosperous city, although it is not as good as Hedong City, but it is almost the same." Cen Wenwen glanced at Zheng Renji and said: "Although your subordinates did not kill anyone in this matter, but on weekdays, your subordinates show off their power in Hedong City, and there are still people who bully and dominate the market, if you are not punished, how can you maintain the dignity of the law of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Go, my father will definitely go to Hanzhong. Thank you, Lord Cen. Zheng Renji hadn't spoken yet, and Zheng Liwan said without thinking.
"Lord Zheng, Ling Yan is good, no wonder even His Majesty praises her." Cen Wenwen glanced at Zheng Liwan, with a look of satisfaction on his face, pointed at Zheng Liwan and said, "Such a daughter, even the official is very envious of you!" Rare, rare! ”
"Lord Cen praised it falsely." Jung In-gi said with a wry smile.
Cen Wenwen shook his head, finally stood up, and said to Zheng Renji: "The matter in Hedong can be solved soon, but you have to attract a lesson in this matter, and treat your subordinates the same as the people under your jurisdiction, you can manage it as you want, next time, I'm afraid there will not be such a good thing." ”
"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands." Zheng Renji's face turned red, he was a little worse in the management of his subordinates, and this time he suffered a big loss, so thinking about it, it is not bad to be demoted to Hanzhong. I don't know if it's because of my daughter, otherwise, a dismissal is certain. It's just that thinking that Li Xin has fallen in love with his daughter, he still feels a little awkward in his heart.
