After the court meeting, there was a feast, and many people who were originally in high mood became depressed, and only a few people stretched their frowns. In addition, the atmosphere of the state banquet is already solemn, how many people can drink happily? After going through the motions, it was barely a good time, and then it was over in a hurry!

Walking out of the palace gate, Wu Tingzuo breathed a sigh of relief, he was very glad that his choice, at least he did not offend Zhao Zheng. Who would have thought that the official family would favor Zhao Zheng so much, although there is a slight political implication in it, but it is an indisputable fact that Zhao Zheng is favored by the saint.

Seeing the relaxed face of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, especially the light and breezy expression, Wu Tingzuo felt even more emotion in his heart. In the future, he will be the envoy of the imperial city, and he will know Kaifeng Mansion in the right to know, so there will be cooperation, what should I do...... You have to know this!

It's just that how long you can stay in Kaifeng Mansion is hard to say. The Imperial City Division is already surnamed Zhao, so will the surname of Kaifeng Mansion be far away? Seeing the high-spirited imperial brother Zhao Guangyi, Wu Tingzuo seemed to have foreseen something.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the spring breeze on his face, but in fact, he was not surprised at all. He had long expected that the imperial brother would favor Zhao Zheng, not for anything else, but to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger and sound the alarm for such a group of people. But I never expected that Zhao Zheng would be the envoy of the imperial city, this trust is a bit excessive, right?

In the past, he was one of the eyes and ears of the royal brother, but now he has been replaced, and he must be a little lost. What's even more depressing is that he is also under the supervision of the imperial city envoy, which is ...... For some reason, Zhao Guangyi always felt that Zhao Zheng went too far and stood too tall was not a good thing for him.

No, after the banquet, the imperial brother also summoned Zhao Zheng alone, this honor is really rare. Even his own brother can't help but feel a little envious, jealous and hate......

……

Zhao Zheng has always had a feeling of being in a fog, he doesn't care at all about the earl who has been wiped out in vain, and it won't work if he doesn't give an explanation to the Dragon Hero Group. He's even ready to be at home. Even after thinking about the preparations behind closed doors, he didn't expect to suddenly change to the imperial city envoy.

Zhao Zheng also knows something about this institution. This is an institution similar to the embroidered messengers of the Han Dynasty and the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to guarding the imperial city, it also has the task of spying on intelligence. It's clearly a special agency, and he has become the head of this secret agency.

This matter is really a bit surprising, why did Zhao Kuangyin choose himself? It seems that this is a very professional organization, although I was born in the political and legal system, there is still a big gap between lawyers and secret police/prosecutors, right? The master of a special agency. For example, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty should be the emperor's most trusted person, why does Zhao Kuangyin trust himself so much? It's a little puzzling!

Although he saved him and his family several times, and made several meritorious contributions, he didn't rise to the level of the emperor's henchmen, right? Although he really wants to rise to this point, which is very good for the development of the Great Song Dynasty, but the speed of this rise is too fast, and it is not normal!

Strange, really weird!

Zhao Zheng was full of doubts, so much so that it was time to give a banquet. The food is unpleasant, and the mind is a little erratic. It wasn't until he received a summons from his chamberlain that the emperor had summoned him that Zhao Zheng cheered up. I don't know if I met in private. Can you get the answer......

Under the guidance of an attendant, Zhao Zheng came to the Vertical Arch Palace, where Zhao Kuangyin handled government affairs on weekdays, and often met with his cronies here. In other words. The status of ministers who can enter the vertical arch hall alone is not ordinary.

While Zhao Zheng enjoyed this honor, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Kuangyin's gourd? Why is this Song Taizu more and more incomprehensible!

"See Your Majesty!"

"Look at the corners of your eyebrows. His expression was relaxed, and he saw that he was taking my scolding as a deaf ear! "Where did you think that Zhao Kuangyin came up with such a sentence, without the majesty of the emperor at all.

Zhao Zheng was stunned at first, a little surprised, there was no solemnity of the gentleman and the minister's duet, but the more so, the more people felt bottomless......

"The minister doesn't dare, in fact, the minister is pretending to be calm, and he is actually very nervous in his heart......"

"Nervous about what?" Zhao Kuangyin asked very directly.

Zhao Zheng sneered: "The official family summoned, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the ministers are naturally nervous......"

"I still know that I am nervous, why was I so unscrupulous when I beat someone last night?" Zhao Zheng frowned, as if he was reproachful.

Zhao Zheng said calmly: "The minister may be a little impulsive and shoot too hard, but others bully others, and the minister can't just be caught, let others bully......"

"Hmph, who can bully you?" Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "That's it, I know that you were ruined yesterday, so it's understandable to take the opportunity to vent your anger!" ”

After Zhao Kuangyin learned of Zhao Zheng's destination, he guessed the reason for Zhao Zheng's anger, which shows that he is still very concerned about the little county lord of the Wei Palace. This is a good thing, a brave and fierce general, if you don't have a little concern, where do you dare to use it lightly? Only when you discover the people and things you care about can you control them.

"Official, forgive the ministers, what you promised ......"

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled and said: "I will not break my word, but the time is not ripe now......"

"Then dare to ask the official, when will the time be ripe?" Zhao Zheng seized the opportunity and continued to ask with a dead face.

"Hmph, I still have the face to ask, the founding uncle in my hand is just gone, can I blame others?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Fu Li is the county lord anyway, and he is deeply loved by the Fu Qing family, you can't earn a decent identity, so how can I help you speak?" ”

Are you really going to give yourself an earl? Zhao Zheng was a little surprised, was his face too big, or was his luck too good? Those feats are outstanding, but they ......

Rewarding is not entirely about merit, but also a gradual and gradual process. If you make a great contribution in the future, how can you continue to be rewarded? Therefore, this starting point and room for improvement are also very important. And Zhao Kuangyin seems to have given himself too high a starting point......

"Yes, what the official said is very true!" Zhao Zheng only said yes!

"It's good to know!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "It doesn't matter if the founding uncle is gone, do a good job in the future, and then make a contribution, and reward you back, I am not a stingy person." ”

"Xie Guanjia, the minister is grateful!" Zhao Zheng had to be very hypocritically grateful.

"That's it!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "Let's get down to business!" ”

"Please command!"

Zhao Kuangyin beckoned, and an attendant brought up a long wooden plate with a feather arrow on it. When Zhao Zheng saw it, he understood a little......

"It's ......"

"That's right, this is the arrow that pierced your official hat and nailed it to my imperial chariot!" Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin's color was completely gloomy, and he looked extremely angry. It's no wonder that the emperor is so noble, but some people don't know whether to live or die to offend. When he was most proud, it was inevitable that Long Yan would be furious.

"What the official family means is ......," Zhao Zheng asked cautiously tentatively.

"Check, find out the ...... of this arrow," Zhao Kuangyin commanded coldly.

"This ......" Zhao Zheng suddenly had a big head, and knew that there was nothing good, and sure enough. Finding out the identity of the assassins, especially the ones behind them, is too difficult.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were many remnants of the previous dynasty, and there were many ambitious heroes and generals. Over the years, Zhao Kuangyin has fought a hundred battles in the south, and he has offended many enemies, and there are too many people who have the motive to kill him. How easy is it to track down the murderer behind the scenes? Although it is not like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is equivalent to feeling a stone in the sea.

This is definitely not easy to do, not to mention difficult, and dangerous, and at the same time it will offend many people. It's okay to do it well, but it's thankless to do it badly, and it's really tricky to be not human inside and out!

"What's wrong? Can't? Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Zheng hesitate and asked unceremoniously.

"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that ......" Zhao Zheng said unexpectedly: "With all due respect, why did the minister come to investigate this matter......

"Because you are the envoy of the imperial city, it is your duty to spy on detectives." Zhao Kuangyin replied very simply.

"This ......" Zhao Zheng was almost speechless.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "This is the opportunity I gave you, you should cherish it yourself...... As for why I chose you to do it, one is that I value your carefulness and cleverness, and the other is that you have nothing to do with all the ministers in Bianliang......"

When he said this, Zhao Kuangyin's heart moved, and he felt a little duplicitous. There are some things that cannot be said explicitly, and they are still a doubt, waiting for time and facts to test......

"But this is also the minister's shortcomings, I am not familiar with the officials, and I don't know much about Bianliang, so I have no way to start!" Zhao Zheng pleaded in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, just get familiar with it, I believe in your abilities." Zhao Kuangyin said: "In comparison, this disadvantage is really insignificant, but the benefit is great. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. In Bianliang City, few people know you, this is your biggest advantage, give full play to it! ...... for the young people behind the scenes."

Feelings are because they are living people, and they not only have the effect of throwing stones to ask for directions, but also have the meaning of opening up the mountain...... In this regard, Zhao Zheng didn't know what to say, but when he saw Zhao Kuangyin's expression, he thought of the four words that the holy order is difficult to disobey!

"What do the officials want?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, and he nodded: "It's naturally best to do your best, but I also know that this matter can't be rushed...... Remember, it's important to keep the beam steady and try to solve the problem as quietly as possible. ”

"Understood!" Zhao Zheng nodded helplessly!

"As for the ......deadline," Zhao Kuangyin said, "The New Year is approaching, and it is best if you can have a harvest." However, the time is urgent, and it can be forgiven, but you remember that after the spring of next year, the envoys from all over the country will come to Bianliang to congratulate...... You know how heavy it is. ”

"Yes, the minister!" It's tricky! Although Zhao Zheng gladly accepted the order, he clearly felt the trouble of the matter. Zhao Kuangyin let himself be the envoy of this imperial city, but he was afraid that it would be a one-time thing, in order to do this well, but he wanted to do it well...... Alas, it can only be said that the spy leader is really not easy to be!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, the minister needs ......"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't worry, the character equipment, and even a little privilege can satisfy you, and there are hundreds of spies at your disposal." ”

"Xie Guan's family!" Zhao Zheng bowed and said, "That minister first wants to see the assassin yesterday!" ”

"It's useless to see it, it's dead!" (To be continued......)
