"This? The younger brother still needs to think about it. Zheng Jingrang thought about it, but still politely refused. It was his previous wish to return to the Xingyang Zheng family, and even his dead father thought about returning to the Xingyang Zheng family day and night.

If it was before, Zheng Jingrang might not hesitate to return to Xingyang, but now it is different, he saw the atmosphere of Mingjun from Li Xin, to himself, he knew that he was a side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but he still made himself a prefect, and more importantly, he saw respect in Li Xin's eyes, and he saw respect for his mother.

"What, you don't want to go back to the Xingyang Zheng clan? That's a crime of betraying the family, from now on, you will never have a chance to return to the Xingyang Zheng clan, and your branch will disappear from the Xingyang Zheng family's family tree, you have to think clearly. Zheng Yuanhui didn't expect Zheng Jingrang to not agree, and rejected herself, and suddenly felt that her dignity had been provoked.

"Jean." Zheng was surprised for a while, but he just frowned, and he didn't blame, Zheng Jingrang has grown up, and now he is the prefect of Bianzhou, so he must have his thoughts about doing this.

"Don't dare to be, if it was before, the Zheng family recruited each other, Jing Rang naturally complied, but now it doesn't work, Xingyang Zheng has already returned to Li Zhao, and I am an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, if Jing Rang goes to Xingyang at this moment, I am afraid that it will not be allowed by the law of the country. In the future, Xingyang will be owned by my Datang, and Jingrang will naturally go. Zheng Jingrang thought about it, but said without hesitation.

"Okay, good, Brother Jing Rangxian really has backbone." Zheng Yuanhui laughed angrily after hearing this, and finally said: "You expect Li Xin to dominate the world, otherwise, in the future, you will come to the door to ask the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Zheng family will not say a word." ”

"My emperor is wise and powerful, how can Li Yuan be compared, maybe, the Xingyang Zheng family will still come to me in the future." Zheng Jingrang stood up. Say it out loud without hesitation.

"Hmph, Li Xin, it's just dry bones in the grave, and Bianzhou is where his bones are buried." Zheng Yuanhui's face turned red, flicked his sleeves, and turned around to leave. He was very angry in his heart, he came to recruit Zheng Jingrang in person, and he had already given Zheng Jingrang a lot of face, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jingrang didn't know each other. It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, and she also said crazy words, so how can Zheng Yuanhui endure it.

"Mother." Zheng Jingrang didn't even look at it, but knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, today the Son of Heaven came to Bianzhou, and as soon as he got off the dragon boat, he asked about his mother, and the first holy decree was to canonize his mother as the Lady of the Three Grades. said that the mother should be a model for the world. Mother, such a holy son, is not worthy of the child's allegiance? ”

"Did the Son of Heaven really seal the old body?" Zheng's face moved after hearing this, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "The Son of Heaven also knows the old body? ”

"Does the mother remember what she said to the child in the lobby of Shezhou? Not a single word that the Son of Heaven said was wrong. Zheng Jingrang said: "The reason why the Xingyang Zheng clan asked me to return to my sect. It's just that the child is the prefect of Bianzhou, and if the child is nothing, how can they recognize the child. And the position of the prefect of Bianzhou is still sealed by the emperor. Now that they let the child betray the emperor, won't they let the child fall into the point of disloyalty and injustice? Even if he returned to his main sect, he was just laughed at by others. ”

"Since the emperor trusts you so much. You should serve the emperor, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma, your father wanted to return to the Xingyang Zheng clan back then, but compared to the king's trust, the king is naturally in front. Zheng sighed, although he couldn't be a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but the Zheng family still liked the king's trust.

"Xingyang Zheng's family didn't admit their mother and children to the master's house back then, but now they are looking for children, and they are not rushing to the identity of children." Zheng Jingrang said disdainfully.

"You're right." Zheng felt a chill in her heart, and Xingyang Zheng's approach made her feel cold in her heart, so she let Zheng Yuanhui leave, and Xingyang Zheng came to see Zheng Jingrang at this time, not because of Zheng Jingrang's identity.

"Mother, the child will go to see the emperor immediately, Xingyang Zheng family came to see the child at this time, I am afraid there are other conspiracies, the child must go to the Son of Heaven to clarify this matter." Zheng Jingrang went to see Li Xin at this time, not only to report the matter, but more importantly, for himself, he had long known that the power of Jinyiwei was extremely powerful, Zheng Yuanhui came to see him at this time, and it was not good that Li Xin knew about it at this time.

"That's the case, Xingyang Zheng came to see you at this time, I'm afraid it's for Bianzhou, the emperor is here, although the elite soldiers are guarding, but the enemy is hiding in the dark, it's better to be careful." Zheng nodded and said.

"Yes." Zheng Jingrang was also a little worried at this time, as long as the matter involved the Son of Heaven, he had to be cautious. didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he quickly said goodbye to the Zheng family and came to the government to find Li Xin.

In the mansion, Li Xin looked at Shen Ruyan lying on the bed, and said with a smile: "Since you are pregnant, don't move around these days, go back and find someone to buy some nourishing things to replenish your body." ”

"The emperor is really, where is the concubine so weak." Although Shen Ruyan said it in her mouth, there was a burst of sweetness in her heart. Li Xin is high, it is not easy to do this, even in the palace, he will not be so attentive to every woman. It will only be like this if you follow the left and right alone.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Jingrang, the prefect of Bianzhou, said that he had something important to ask to see His Majesty." Shen Qianqiu strode in, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, just now Zheng Yuanhui, the steward of the Zheng family, entered Zheng Jingrang's mansion. ”

"Let him in!" Li Xin's eyes flickered, patted Shen Ruyan, and said, "You can rest first, and I'll come when I go out." Li Xin was also very strange, at this time, Zheng Jingrang came to see what he was doing.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." In the hall, Zheng Jingrang saluted Li Xin very respectfully.

"Zheng Qing, this banquet hasn't started yet, why are you here, are you afraid that I won't let you come?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is here to report a big matter to His Majesty. Chen just saw Zheng Yuanhui, the steward of the Zheng family in Xingyang, at home. Zheng Jingrang hurriedly said that he had seen Zheng Yuanhui, including Zheng Yuanhui's every word, and Fang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zheng Yuanhui came here at this time, not just to win over the minister, his main purpose is still in His Majesty, and even the minister thinks that this is not the handiwork of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but the means of pseudo-Zhao." That's why the minister will come, please make a clear decision. ”

"Go, let Chu Suiliang come." Li Xin thought about it, and still ordered Ren to recruit Chu Suiliang, and now he seems to feel that things are playing with a big deal, not only Xu Shiji will make a move, but I am afraid that even Li Yuan will be impatient to make a move.

"You are a side branch of the Zheng family, and it stands to reason that you want to return to the Zheng family in Xingyang, this is an opportunity! Why don't you want to go back? Li Xin looked at Zheng Jingrang and said.

"When my father was here, I just wanted to return to Xingyang, if I didn't meet Your Majesty today, the minister might have hesitated, but after seeing Your Majesty, the minister thought that the last one to dominate the world must be my Tang Dynasty, and in the future, Xingyang Zheng will only beg the minister, but like today, as if he was rewarded by the other party." Zheng Jingrang did not shy away from saying his thoughts.

"You're very honest, I like it very much." Li Xin nodded.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." After half a ring, Chu Suiliang walked in, glanced at Zheng Jingrang, and saluted Li Xin.

"Chu Qing, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble this time." Li Xin told Zheng Yuanhui about it and said: "I suspect that Li Yuan is probably ready to make a move, and finally saw me in Bianzhou, and he is going to leave me in Bianzhou." ”

"Is the emperor worried that Li Yuan will cross the Yellow River to attack Bianzhou?" Chu Suiliang quickly understood what Li Xin meant, worried that Li Yuan would come to attack Bianzhou, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, if Li Yuan really comes to attack Bianzhou, we will definitely get the news, the army is dispatched, where can we hide it." General Wei Lu's 30,000 army is in Guanzhou, as well as the more than 10,000 army of Dayozawa, plus the army of Bianzhou, there are at least 90,000 people, as long as they come, Your Majesty can get 90,000 troops with a wave of his hand, and he is afraid that Li Yuan will not succeed. ”

"Zheng Yuanhui came this time, I'm afraid he came on the order of Li Yuan, which shows that Li Yuan's backhand this time is definitely not himself, but someone else, compared to Xu Shiji and Li Yuan, I am worried about those warlords in Shandong! If they work together, we will be under a lot of pressure. Li Xin said with some worry.

It was just as Li Xin thought, whether it was Xu Shiji or Li Yuan, he was not afraid, after all, although he only had 40,000 troops around him, he could recruit tens of thousands of troops at will, and he was even more worried about the situation in Shandong.

"Is the emperor worried that Shandong's soldiers and horses will come to attack Bianzhou?" Chu Suiliang quickly understood what he meant.

"This is only one aspect, I am more worried that Li Yuan will take advantage of Shandong's soldiers and horses to attack us, and take the opportunity to seize Shandong." Li Xin snorted coldly and said: "I came out this time to inspect Bianzhou, in fact, to get rid of Xu Shiji, to capture Xingyang, so that it is convenient to seize the land of Shandong next year, if at this time, Li Yuan takes advantage of the emptiness of Shandong's power to seize Shandong, then my calculation will be in vain." ”

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, we will change the secret attack to the open attack." Chu Suiliang thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, if Li Yuan really sends a large army, then the emperor will join the Bianzhou army, forcibly attack Shandong, and attack Shandong." The army always has to attack in one direction. ”

"Change from reactive to proactive." Li Xin was silent for a while before he nodded, this seemed to be the only way, maybe there would be a chance to compete with Li Yuan for the land of Shandong. (To be continued......)
