The wrestling between Sima Bi and the King of Qi did not affect many people.

In April, the Beijing officials should go to the court, and the flowers and willows should be looking for flowers and willows, and the Jin capital is as if nothing has happened.

Of course, this does not include the Qi Palace.

And after the crown prince returned to the Jin capital at the end of April, the situation of the Qi palace looked even more difficult.

The crown prince returned triumphantly from the north with a great victory, and for a time became the most vocal person in the capital of Jin and even in all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is the first time in several years that the crown prince has completely overpowered the king of Qi and once again enjoyed the treatment of the prince.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince did not "exterminate all the people of the Qi Wang's party", but deliberately protected the few remaining forces of the Qi king.

It's not very accurate to say protection, because the prince just doesn't act.

However, in the eyes of some people, inaction is actually protection, and not taking advantage of people's illness to kill people, what is not protection? In the princelings, there is a considerable part of the people who think so - the benevolence of the prince's woman.

But Emperor Jin didn't see it that way.

Because the attitude of the crown prince after returning to the dynasty was obvious, he attacked the officials who supported Sima Bi one by one.

At the beginning, when the prince was impeached by the hundred officials, the king of Qi once wrote a letter to ask for a guarantee, and now the prince repaid the favor and "gave a helping hand" when the king of Qi was in trouble, which was a real brotherhood in the eyes of Emperor Jin.

Whether the crown prince defended the king of Qi out of balance or to show brotherhood or something else, Xie Shence didn't care. Because as long as Emperor Jin can still control the situation, then no matter what the crown prince and King Qi are fighting and what they are like, it will not be a problem.

Take sides?

Now Xie Shence doesn't think about such boring things anymore.

Now in his opinion, the Xie family's philosophy of "always standing on the side of the emperor" is really much smarter than others choosing one of the emperor's sons and then biting each other.

However, this does not prevent tendencies.

Therefore, in today's court, the situation is relatively clear.

In the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence and Zhou Jinmian checked the secret reports sent from various places, and had a casual conversation.

"There's something interesting lately, I wonder if you've heard of it, Lord Admiral?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's about you, Lord Admiral."

"Oh?" Xie Shence put down the secret report in his hand, looked at Zhou Jinmian with interest, and said, "What is the matter?" How did I not know? ”

Zhou Jinmian smiled, and then said: "Two days ago, there was a Tiqi who reported to me that it was a Beijing official who complained in the restaurant, and was beaten up, which led to a series of jokes. ”

Xie Shence frowned and said, "What does that have to do with Admiral Ben?" I didn't know about it, I wasn't there, and I wasn't the one who hit someone. ”

"It's funny, it's funny, Lord Admiral, you're not there. Let's talk about that person first, Lord Admiral, you should know, that person's surname is Tao Minghuan, he is from Xuzhou, and now he is working in Kyoto, not a yamen, but a Qingyun road. You should have an impression of this person, Lord Admiral? ”

Xie Shence touched his chin, and then wondered, "Should I know this person?" Wait a while, it seems to have an impression, Xuzhou Tao Huan, it sounds very familiar, oh, I know, it's the one who made things difficult for the Admiral in Zhongnan Mountain? ”

Zhou Jinmian shook his head helplessly at Xie Shence's sarcasm and said, "It's him." There were a total of three people who made things difficult for Lord Admiral that day, among which Xu Shilun's uncle was a protégé of Lord Taifu, and was sent to the Northwest Army by Lord Admiral afterwards to sharpen, and he was no longer in Jindu. The grades were squeezed out, and then returned to Yanzhou. Only this Xuzhou Tao Huan has been staying in Jindu, although it is a little difficult, but as that matter goes by, his situation has gradually improved, and now it is not bad. ”

"Is he the one who fights, or is he the one who is being beaten? This Admiral is only concerned with this issue. ”

"Alright, Lord Admiral. Here's the thing, at that time, Tao Huan and his colleagues were feasting, probably drinking too much, and it was likely that something didn't go well recently, so he relied on the strength of the wine and said some bad things about Wutang. I asked Ti Qi to check, those people are not from the local scholar clan, or the local people in Jinyang, all of them are from the Shi clan, Tao Huan's words won their unanimous approval, so Tao Huan was quite high-spirited that night, and said a word, that sentence is like this - our Shi clan is already superior, how can we go to the same court as the untouchables Zhu Ziye! ”

Xie Shence smiled: "He really dares to say this kind of thing." ”

Zhou Jinmian nodded and said: "This kind of thing, everyone knows it, they are all people of the same level, and it doesn't hurt to say it if you drink too much, but it says what everyone thinks." So for a while, everyone was vying to tout, and Tao Huan was very proud. ”

Unexpectedly, they caused trouble when they made a fuss. I don't know if it was a group of mountain people from there, when they passed by the door of the private room, they heard it, probably relying on some strength, so they broke into the door and seriously injured several people present. Did two of them also practice, but the fancy frame was greater than the actual combat ability, and they were also beaten to the head and broke the bloodstream. Although the group of mountain people won, there are also people who hang the lottery. After seeing the blood, he somehow ran away. This matter has already reached Kyoto Prefecture, and this morning Kyoto Prefecture Yin has already sent someone over to ask how to deal with it. ”

Xie Shen Ceqi said: "Yang Sanzao can't do this matter by himself, why do you have to ask Ti Qisi what he means, I understand, Yang Sanzao means, is Tao Huan's sin against me, so do you want to make some fuss in this regard?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Jinmian said: "What Yang Fuyin means, it depends on whether Lord Admiral wants to exaggerate this matter and take the opportunity to suppress some people, or let it go and just talk about the matter?" ”

Xie Shence thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, the Xuzhou Tao family is in-law with the Xingyang Zheng family in this generation?"

Zhou Jinmian was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Yes, a member of the Zheng family's second room is married to the second daughter of the Tao family." ”

Judging from Xie Shence's slightly narrowed eyes, Zhou Jinmian could already conclude that Xie Shence was thinking about how to pull the Xingyang Zheng family into the blacklist this time.

Sure enough, as Zhou Jinmian expected, Xie Shence thought for a while and then said: "The Zheng family of Xingyang is one of the best families in Jinyang, with a very deep foundation, and the ancestors have the merit of being a dragon, and they have always enjoyed the treatment of a duke. Although his reputation in the court has not been obvious in the past two years, Zheng Keming, the secretary of the ministry, is quite difficult. Every year, the big examination of the Ministry of Officials has to make it difficult for many officials. Even before his grandfather, he made a lot of oil and water. In recent years, it has received countless 'protégés'. Hehe, Your Majesty won't feel a pity for such a person to move. Zizhi knows that this matter can be used as a means of playing. ”

Zhou Jinmian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Could it be a little sudden?" After all, although the Zheng family is low-key, it has a deep enough heritage. Zheng Keming has a very good set of accumulating wealth and being an official, which can be seen from the fact that the old lady has not moved him before. Such a person has a bit of a large portion, and the Ti Cavalry may not be able to eat it all at once. And even if you can eat it, it will take too much energy. If you don't grasp that degree well, it will cause other reactions. ”

"The key question is whether His Majesty is willing to move him." Zhou Jinmian thought about it after finishing speaking, and then added. "After the Zheng family is a hero of the dragon's support, it has been in Jinyang for more than 300 years. Such a person, not to mention whether His Majesty will be willing to risk the reputation of 'after indiscriminately killing Zhongliang', even the follow-up ending is also extremely cumbersome. ”

Xie Shence smiled and said, "Zizhi, you still think about the problem too complicated. You must know that the more the Zheng family wins the hearts of the people in Jinyang, the more His Majesty will not like him, and the more His Majesty wants to find a reason to move him. Because even if he wins the hearts of the people, it is not to the point where His Majesty can be jealous, and the gap in his own strength will only make this matter end faster, but it will not drag on for too long. We are worried that Your Majesty is anxious. Haven't you seen that Your Majesty has been dealing with general things recently, and they are getting faster and faster? It shows that His Majesty is already dissatisfied with our progress, and His Majesty hopes that our Tiqi Division can find a prey that suits his appetite as soon as possible, instead of knocking on mountains and shocking tigers like this all the time. Just knocking on a mountain with a small stone can scare a tiger? Could it be that it can scare the tiger to death? ”

At the end, Xie Shence concluded: "It's not that we have to do this, it's that His Majesty needs us to do this." Therefore, success or failure should be a matter for His Majesty to consider. ”

After listening to Xie Shence's explanation, Zhou Jinmian was a little stunned: Is there such a statement?

So Zhou Jinmian said: "Then let's do it?" ”

"Yes,!"

"Okay, I'll go and inform Yang Sanzao about this matter, let him take advantage of the topic to play, first let Tao Huan get into trouble, disturb Zheng Keming's sight, and then put a long line."

Xie Shence nodded and said, "That's it." But pay attention to the details, first of all, we must do a good job of public opinion as usual, so that everyone knows about it. After scandalizing the faces of these people and letting them be scolded, they will be bullied and oppressed with great momentum, and finally leave a little little tail, so that His Majesty can make trouble for Zheng Keming In short, as long as the sewage can be splashed on Zheng Keming's body, this is half the success. As for the ending you said, don't worry about it at all, there will naturally be people who don't like Zheng Keming to help us. ”

Zhou Jinmian agreed, and then went back to make arrangements.

After Zhou Jinmian got up and was about to go out, Xie Shence suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait! You haven't said anything interesting! ”

Zhou Jinmian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The interesting thing with Lord Admiral is naturally what Tao Huan said. I don't know if he really drank too much, but he actually said a lot of crazy things after the official of Kyoto Prefecture came. What 'the Admiral has been scolded', 'The Flower of Huaiyang has been seen', and there was a fight with the Admiral, etc., anyway, it was very bluffed Yang Sanzao. ”

"Amount"

This is a forced goods. Xie Shence thought so in his heart. I'm afraid that I will forget him and not trouble him.

After Zhou Jinmian left, Xie Shence leaned back on the chair, cocked his feet on the table, shook comfortably, hummed some tunes that he couldn't remember for a long time, and his heart was comfortable.

It's finally time to fight the big tigers.

Zheng Keming

The reason why he was chosen as the target, in addition to the above reasons, there is also a reason why Zhou Jinmian and Xie Shence both knew it but did not say it.

Zheng Keming's own sister is Sima Bi's wife, and now Mrs. Sima.

Although the relationship between Sima Bi and his wife is not very good, Zheng Keming and Sima Bi have a very deep friendship, which can be called a gold medal combination in the Great Jin Dynasty, one inside and one outside, very powerful.

Compared with the previous role of Zhao Hongtai in the Qi Wang Party, Zheng Keming is more like Sima Bi's spokesperson.

This is the real reason why Xie Shence wants to do something to him.
