The monarch and the minister vowed to eradicate the eunuchs, and the three of them hurried to plan. King Ying's marriage was temporarily put on hold.

Zheng Note and Li Xun were both introduced to the emperor by Wang Shoucheng, so the three conspired day and night, and Wang Shoucheng did not doubt him. On this day, the three of them were discussing in the Zhonghe Palace, and Ma Yuanliang instructed the little eunuch not to allow idle people to ask to see His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, get rid of the eunuchs first, and then recover Hehuang, but the Uighurs and Tibet, return to the town of Heshuo Domain, and open up a strategy, which is as easy as a snap." Li Xun said, and Zheng Zhu also echoed it. "What the two Aiqing said is very true, it is true as what Er and others said, and the merits of Jiangshan Shejier and others are enough to glorify future generations." Wenzong's heart was surging, and he was looking forward to this day too much.

"Wang Shoucheng is not suspicious, right?" Wechen is planning to help him suppress dissent, and he is full of joy and waiting for the result. I was not suspicious. Zheng Zhu replied.

"The generals of the left and right Shence Army don't like each other, especially the generals of the left leading army, Qiu Shiliang and Wang Shoucheng, who have a lot of grievances. Zuo Shence Lieutenant Wei Yuan, Privy Envoy Yang Chenghe and others also disagreed with Wang Shoucheng. It is the best policy to divide and conquer by using contradictions, and to divide the eunuch group internally. Zheng Zhu analyzed that the monarch and ministers discussed until the second half of the night, and Wenzong left the two of them to rest in the side hall.

Zheng Zhu's mansion is in Shanhe, with high walls and deep courtyards, and it is the most magnificent mansion in Shanhe.

Zheng Zhu often stayed in the palace, or chatted with Wang Shoucheng in the military camp of the Right Shence Army, or stayed in the palace thanks to the grace of heaven. Whenever Zheng Zhu rests, the family is full of guests, and the carriages and horses are full of roads.

Zheng Zhu is in full swing, and the guards in their concierge are all nostrils facing the sky. As the saying goes, the prime minister has three officials in front of the door, why are you looking at the gate? Because of how many people want to cling to the powerful, the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghosts are difficult.

The alley sounded the sound of a gong opening the road, "Idlers and miscellaneous people will be avoided." The guards who were opening the way in front of them came galloping, and the passers-by were unable to avoid it in time, and they snapped their whips. Passers-by all dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, looking at this formation, they knew that it was Lord Zheng Zhu's guards.

There were twenty guards in the front and rear, and ten on each side. Zheng Zhu sits upright on a horse with a golden bridle.

The people squatting in front of the Zheng Mansion dispersed in a hurry, and each went home to report the news. Not long after, on the streets of Chang'an, a crowd of vehicles headed in the same direction. The guards escorted Zheng Zhu into the mansion. The gate of Zheng's mansion could not be closed, and the messenger guarding the door received a soft hand.

"Dude, take this one for drinking." The errand officer looked at the name on the post, and he was an official from a certain state or county who went to Beijing to do business. "Let's go inside." The officers let them go, the officials went in, and the family members who followed carried the boxes.

"Dude, this is not a tribute." The man handed over a basket of fresh fruit to the servant. The officer's face eased down, and he looked at the name on the post, it was a certain section envoy, and the officer let the group in with a smile on his face. This team of people is carrying a heavy box.

A group of people entered, and Zheng Zhu's mansion was like a city.

In the distance, there were lively crowds of people, watching the big and small officials of the Zheng Mansion visiting back and forth. "Yu Zheng never dreamed that he would have the day of soaring today." "That's right, Lang Zhong, a man who sells medicine in the rivers and lakes, has become an important minister of the imperial court, which is simply incredible." "The wall has ears, be careful of your disrespectful sin," the crowd whispered, privately discussing.

The Left Shence Army was stationed at the Yamato Gate, and the Left and Right Shence Army were separated by an imperial city, and they were cross-eyed with each other. Wei Yuan, the lieutenant of Zuo Shence's army, said to Wang Shoucheng, "Lao Tzu asked his son for a reward, the lion opened his mouth, and the milky child put on the court clothes of the third-grade master, and he Wang Shoucheng was able to do such a thing that showed his old face." Wang Shoucheng's begging for court clothes for his son was ridiculed by officers at all levels in the Zuo Shence military camp.

When Wang Shoucheng heard this, he blew his beard angrily in the military tent and glared, and Zheng Zhu came in. Zheng Zhu has privileges in the military camp of the Right Shence Army, and entering and leaving this place is like entering a no-man's land.

"Engong, the little brother has something to report." Zheng Zhu sat down on the chair, and Wang Shoucheng waved back left and right, "Brother Xian, it's okay to say anything." ”

Zheng Zhu leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Junior brother is going to participate in a copy of several important members of the Left Divine Strategy." "The virtuous brother who knows me, I am angry about this matter, and the virtuous brother will come to share my worries." Wang Shoucheng said with emotion. "This matter still needs the assistance of Engong to succeed." "The virtuous brother will let it go, and the foolish brother will do his best to help."

Zheng Zhu explained the plan and Wang Shoucheng one by one, and Wang Shoucheng was overjoyed: "The virtuous brother is angry for the foolish brother." ”

On the second day of the Xuanzheng Palace, hundreds of officials went to the court, and the Tang Dynasty's legal system was very strict. Especially a wise monarch like Wenzong who gets up earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a donkey.

The emperor sat on the main hall, watching you come late, who would dare the officials. You have to go on the road before dawn, especially the officials who live far away from the imperial city, and you have to climb in the middle of the night. Everyone in the world says that being an official is good, and it is also very hard for an official.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what can I report today?" Wenzong sat on the high hall, and his voice was pleasant.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." Zheng Zhu stood out of the ranks, holding an ivory wat board. "Quasi-play."

Zheng Zhu stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister sued Wei Yuan, the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army, and the privy envoys Yang Chenghe, Wang Jianyan and the former prime minister Li Zongmin formed a party for personal gain, and were keen on the dispute between friends and parties, and tried in vain to collude with the military and the government and the southern government to disrupt the dynasty. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly. Zheng Zhu presented the impeachment letter to the emperor.

Wenzong's expression was solemn and he ordered the three to be summoned.

"Send three people to the temple." Ma Yuanliang instructed his subordinates to go to the barracks to convey the holy message.

Wei Yuan, Yang Chenghe, and Wang Jianyan put on armor and went to the palace.

Wenzong rebuked: "As an important member of the imperial court, you don't want to serve the country, and you are keen to form a party for personal gain, and the three of you have failed to live up to my high expectations." ”

The three of them saw that Wenzong was angry, and although they were wearing armor, they still fell to their knees, "Holy Mingjian, the minister is wronged." The ministers and the other three kept their duties and conscientiously guarded the safety of the Beijing Division. Wei Yuan kowtowed and apologized, the armor was so heavy that he had to prostrate on the ground.

Wenzong threw an account book, and Ma Yuanliang held it in both hands and handed it to the three of them. This account book records the details of the three people's exchanges with Li Zongmin.

Where did Wenzong get the account books? Li Zongmin used the power of Zheng Zhu to squeeze out Li Deyu. Li Zongmin was in charge of Xiangyin, but he opposed Zheng Zhu as two high-ranking officials. Zheng Zhu held a grudge and slandered Li Zongmin in front of Wenzong, demoting him to the history of Mingzhou's assassination. bribed Li Zongmin's family and got the account books.

"Your Majesty, these are all weekday courtesies, and the ministers really don't form gangs." Wei Elemental prostrated on the ground and kowtowed.

Wen Zongping has always hated the dispute between friends and parties, and he once said that it is easy to go to Hebei to thieves, but it is difficult to go to the dispute between friends.

The three of them were still arguing, and Wen Zong lowered his face and ordered; "The evidence of the charges against you and the other three is conclusive, and they will be transferred out of Beijing from today."

Ma Yuanliang read out the will: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, Zuo Shence Army Lieutenant Wei Yuan, privy envoys Yang Chenghe and Wang Jianyan, in vain to the monarch's grace, for their own selfish formation of factions." In order to clear the discipline, reward and punish, go to the friends to affirm the law of the country. Now he has been removed from the post of lieutenant of Wei Yuanzuo Shence, and Yang Chenghe and Wang Jianyan have been removed from the post of privy envoy. He ordered Wei Yuan to be the supervisor of Huainan, Yang Chenghe to be the supervisor of Xichuan, and Wang Jianyan to be the supervisor of Hedong. ”
