Zheng Boyou's house was silent for a long time, he looked at Uncle Zhao, Zhao Shudao seemed to be waiting for him to speak, the two held each other for a long time, Zheng Boyou asked seemingly casually, "Zhao Gong came here for this matter?" ”
"I didn't know you went to the palace when I came." Uncle Zhao said.
"Zhao Gong's trip, what's the matter?" Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, paused for his words and said, "Now you should call Zhao Gong Shangqing, I haven't gotten used to it, I hope Lord will forgive me." His tone was unfamiliar, and he couldn't see the kind of friendship with Uncle Zhao that day.
"Reminiscing." Uncle Zhao said, and there was inevitably regret in his tone.
"I'm afraid that Zheng can't climb high." Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and said, at the beginning, Uncle Zhao led the princes to push Zheng Boyou to the position of Dazai Shangqing, but in fact, he paved the way for himself, and took a step back for Situ Zheng Boyou as a stepping stone for himself to be Shangqing, this matter made any stepping stone not like it too much, so he did not visit the house brought by Uncle Zhao when he came to the capital of Ho this time.
"Now that Zheng Qizhi is leading the army to fight outside, it is for the sake of your brother, and he should not be worried." Uncle Zhao looked at Zheng Boyou and said, I don't expect him to forgive himself, but some people are talents after all, if they can fight for their own use, it is the best, if they can't just be afraid, they can only get rid of the future. Zheng Guo can't rely on Zheng Qi alone, otherwise according to Ji Gongyan's temperament, he should have killed him as early as when Zheng Boyou planted the root of love for Bao Xi.
"Lord Shangqing, please rest assured," Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "If I sincerely want to embarrass the king, I won't come to the pickaxe capital to pay tribute on this trip." If the king puts his mind on me, he might as well think about it, after Qi Bo has figured out what happened, how to explain the incident of the Qi country's soldiers! ”
"I left your entourage in the first place, just in case, and if the flood recurs, I can take measures quickly, so as not to harm the people on both sides of the strait. But I didn't expect that your entourage would attack the Dongyi territory, causing a war between the two countries. Uncle Zhao said, frowning about this matter, and seemed to be very distressed.
Zheng Boyou smiled, as if he had heard a very funny joke, "If Lord Shangqing doesn't know how to control the water, you can ask my entourage, if it is cold today, the flood season has already passed." The water volume of the Yellow River has dropped sharply, and it will be next summer if there is another flood! What's more, what is the nature of my entourage, I don't know? If the king wants to blame Zheng Guo for this matter, should he first ask me if I agree, if I hinder it, you will be embarrassed! ”
Uncle Zhao was silent for a while, and originally had no hope of completely deceiving Zheng Boyou so that he would be willing to accept the black cauldron of being blamed, and at this moment he could only tell the truth, "Zheng Situ, Qi and Dongyi conspired in a vain attempt to rebel, and stationed in Haojing to force the king away from the throne, first to restore the republican rule before the first king, and then to try to steal the world of the Zhou royal family." Qi Bo used the flood season and the Yellow River to burst the embankment to create rumors, so that the people of Qi believed that the king was not virtuous and had a vision from heaven! ”
"The people will only believe what they want to believe," Zheng Boyou said, implying that the king was indeed not virtuous and did not have the talent to govern the country.
"Did Zheng Situ ever know about the disaster of nursery rhymes when the first king was alive?" Uncle Zhao asked.
Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and felt a little strange, this question doesn't need to be asked again, the disaster of the demon concubine is the continuation of the nursery rhyme case, even if you don't know what happened back then, you can see this year's situation, he nodded at Uncle Zhao.
"There were not a few girls who died in vain in the nursery rhyme case back then, and Zheng Situ also felt that sooner or later they would cause trouble to the country, and would they be innocent of death?" Uncle Zhao asked, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that Zheng Situ doesn't know that Concubine Rong is also a victim of this, right?" ”
"Auntie?" Zheng Situ raised his spirit and looked at Uncle Zhao, for the things of the year, the adults mentioned very little, the scope of the baby girl case was too wide, it was a tragedy, so Zheng Boyou knew very little about this matter.
"Yes!" Uncle Zhao nodded, "Concubine Rong's daughter died in this disaster, killed by the soldiers, the king has been close to Concubine Rong since he was a child, so this matter has a deep impact on him, in the heart of the king, the words of the princes cannot be trusted, and all the princes will only maximize the news for their own interests." Qi is the best example, you and I both know that the alternation of floods is a normal phenomenon, and if it is used by those who have a heart, it may bring disaster to the world and become a sign of heaven. If the king does not send me into Qi this time, and the flood is not controlled, I am afraid that when the king of Qi raises an army to rebel, all the princes will respond to it. At that time, the embarrassment will be the dawn of the people, such as today is not as good as the last years of the Shang Dynasty, if the war starts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end within a few hundred years, the princes are no longer willing to bow down to the ministers, ambitious, only afraid that it is ......" he said this and paused, "Everyone wants to enter the Central Plains, but no one has this ability, now the Zhou royal family is weak, the ministers are getting stronger, and the country of the princes of the world is in turmoil, then it must be the people who suffer!" Zheng Situ has always been compassionate and compassionate, but I'm afraid he doesn't want to see such a day come, right? ”
Zheng Boyou was silent for a long time, looking at Uncle Zhao with a mess in his mind.
For example, today's events, everyone is ready to move, and the princes know in their hearts that the so-called king's indulgence is just an excuse. If it is not virtuous, in the past history of the Zhou Dynasty, there is more than one more than Ji Gongyan, although Ji Gongyan has been moody for many years, he has never killed innocents indiscriminately, among the ancestors, even the first king Ji Jing will kill the baby girl because of listening to rumors, but Ji Gongyan has never done such a stupid thing.
His ambition and his heart are evident.
"I won't let Zheng Guo split in two, Lord Shangqing, please rest assured." Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and said, his rights have been hollowed out by Zheng Qizhi, during the period when Zheng Bo was seriously ill, he completely controlled Zheng Guo's military power and political power, and the effectiveness and sharpness of his wrists were breathtaking, and even made Zheng Boyou wonder if this was his familiar brother? However, after all, Zheng Boyou is the eldest son, and there are many old subordinates who are willing to follow him, if he is willing to raise troops to seize power, I am afraid that it will never be a problem to compete with Zheng Qizhi, but he will not do this, otherwise Zheng Boyou will not be called Zheng Boyou.
"I wanted to get to know you that day because I admired your talents!" Uncle Zhao looked at Zheng Boyou and said, wanting to ease the atmosphere of business in this conversation.
"At this point in the field, Lord Shangqing doesn't need to say more, Zheng is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, please rest assured." Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and said, this is the meaning of sending off guests, and Uncle Zhao had to sigh, "He will come to visit again in the future." ”
"Please." Zheng Boyou stretched out his hand and pointed to the door and said.
……
In the Hall of Xiande, Mrs. Zheng took the jasper ring from Bao Xi's hand, and she sighed again when she looked at the ring, "Is my brother okay?" ”
"It looks like you're in good spirits," Bao said quietly.
Mrs. Zheng touched her stomach, and then held Bao Xi's wrist, "I'm a little scared." ”
"The king will protect you." Bao Xi said, what she said was really against her will, no one can predict the next move, what Ji Gongyan will do, no one can predict.
Ji Gongyan's diligence in the government is a three-day fishing, two days of drying nets of the mood of the trip, these days he suddenly rose up and went to a hunting paddock near the pickaxe, several princes who have arrived in the pickaxe capital asked to meet the king were rejected on the grounds that the king is no longer in the palace, the day before the king returned from hunting, today it seems that the sex is not lost, people are nowhere to be found, the Manchu officials, the princes are hanging on the court, and finally had to be cleaned up by the father of Yu Shi, the lord of the secretary.
On the second day, the front of the two Shangqing's mansions was full of people, and the princes from all over the country came to inquire about the news of the capital. Qi Bo also knew about the disaster in the territory of Qi at this moment, and the whole person was shocked, and his heart was panicked for a while, and he tried to ask the king to resign and return to China, but he couldn't see Ji Gong for a long time!
Others didn't dare to make decisions about this matter, not to mention that Ji Gongyan had already made a deployment and asked Zheng Qizhi to take Zheng Guo's army to Qi to help, this matter made Qi Bo very puzzled, and looked at Uncle Zhao, who explained to him, and asked, "Lord Shangqing, the soldiers of Qi are in trouble, why do you invite Zheng Guo, who is across the mountains and rivers, to fight?" ”
"Mrs. Zheng is now favored, and she has just had a miscarriage, so she wants General Zheng to be rewarded for meritorious service." Uncle Zhao said with hatred, "In the past two days, Mrs. Zheng said that she was tired of eating food in the palace, so the king went to the suburbs to hunt, hoping to hunt a deer and come back to give Mrs. Zheng an appetite." ”
"Hmph......" Qi Bo slapped his hand on the table and made a loud noise, "The king is so desolate and overclassed, all his thoughts are spent on the group of women in the harem, and he still talks about governing the country!" I'm afraid that if the king returns, my Qi country will have long ceased to exist under the trampling of Dongyi! After he said that, he asked Uncle Zhao to take his resignation, "Please tell the king that it is inconvenient for Qi to stay for a long time!" ”
"I think, Qi Bo might as well stay a little longer, right?" Uncle Zhao stroked his beard and said slowly.
"Why?" Qi Bo asked puzzled.
"This Zheng Qizhi was originally not a general, but he had to lead the troops to fight, I am afraid that there will be more defeats and fewer victories, if Qi Bo returns to China at this moment, and does not get the king's approval......" Uncle Zhao coughed twice, "Then Zheng Qizhi's defeat and victory will be borne by Qi Bo!" ”
"This ......," Qi Bo's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"The ceremony is scheduled to be seven days later, since these days have been delayed, you might as well wait a little longer, when the ceremony is held, the king will always come back." Uncle Zhao looked at Qi Bo and said, although Qi Bo had a bad breath in his chest, he had to follow the method brought by Uncle Zhao and stubbornly suppressed his mood.
is not optimistic about Zheng Qizhi, and it turns into an accusation of Madame Zheng's red face and calamity, if it were not for Ji Gongyan's death order, no one would be allowed to enter and leave the Xiande Hall without permission, but I am afraid that Mrs. Zheng would not be quiet at the moment. But no one said, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know, how much Mrs. Zheng still has feelings, although she doesn't know exactly what is going on outside, but she also knows that it is not peaceful now, she looked at Bao Xi and asked, "The king has something to hide from me?" ”
"How so?" Bao Xi shook her head, what she said was very contrary to her will, and she couldn't even find a testimony to support her.
"After so many years in the palace, fighting with Shen Houdou and Mrs. Qin, what if you are blessed to be favored by the king? This favor is just a fleeting moment, fleeting," Mrs. Zheng seemed to understand life and death in an instant, which made Bao Xi very puzzled, "Why did Niangniang say this?" ”
