It's a pity that before Wan Wan figured out one, two, three, a small waiter came in and said: Meng Zheng has arrived.

Wan Wan had no choice but to look at the plate of white meat and Hu Biscuits with infinite resentment, and then flashed to a safe position to hide her figure.

There were no chamberlains in the hall, and Meng Zheng only saw Zhao Zixuan alone after he came in. He lowered his eyebrows and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and it quickly disappeared.

After seeing the ceremony, the two monarchs and ministers sat down, and Meng Zheng looked at the delicacies and wine on the table and said with a smile: "The official family has always had simple food, what happened today?" ”

Zhao Zixuan personally lifted the wine jug and poured the cup full, and did not answer Meng Zheng's words, but just said, "Drink." ”

Meng Zheng sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Zixuan's expression, he picked up the cup, took advantage of the time to drink, peeked at Zhao Zixuan's expression, and quickly filtered the recent events. After putting down the wine cup, he asked tentatively, "Are the officials worried about the rebellion?" ”

Zhao Zixuan glanced at him and said, "What does Duanping think?" ”

Duanping is Meng Zheng's character. Hearing Zhao Zixuan call himself like this, Meng Zheng's heart stabilized. He smiled and said, "It's tricky right now, but it's difficult for the rebels to become a climate after all." The official family has to think about Zhao Zijing.

After the rebellion, we are weak, and Zhao Zijing will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Zhao Zixuan drank a glass of wine and said, "I didn't ask this." ”

Meng Zheng was stunned, and then heard Zhao Zixuan say: "I regard Duanping as a confidant and friend, what do you do with Duanping?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Zheng got up, bowed respectfully and cautiously, and said, "It's a friend, but also a master." ”

Zhao Zixuan poured another glass of wine and said, "On the seventh day of the first month of this month, the nineteenth day of last month, the seventh day of the first month, the eighth day of April, and the eighth day of the third month, who did Duanping go to meet?" ”

When Meng Zheng heard this, his heart suddenly struck like a hammer. From the 7th to the 9th of each month, he met with the spies of the Divination Division.

He immediately leaned down and bowed, his face calm, and his heart quickly recalled whether he had missed anything. After making sure that there was no irrefutable evidence left, he said in a steady tone: "It must be that Tianmen has given something to the official." The minister has seen some things that shouldn't be seen recently, and I think it has caused Master Ming to misunderstand. ”

Zhao Zixuan said: "Why don't Duanping tell the truth? ”

Meng Zheng smiled helplessly and said, "The official family ...... Unbelievers. ”

Zhao Zixuan smiled, but the smile didn't fit into his eyebrows, he just hooked the corners of his lips, "For her, instead of trying to make these things up, it's better to hit you directly until you can't say anything." ”

Meng Zheng raised his head, his face was first incredulous, and then slowly turned into a sense of sadness, he trembled his lips and finally only said the word "official".

Zhao Zixuan really laughed when he saw his expression.

After laughing, he drank another glass of wine and said, "The two things in the first year of Jingxi, can you have your handiwork?" In the thirty-sixth year of Yansheng, the person who leaked the news was actually you; In the thirty-five years of Yansheng, Xu Hu's matter was also your instigation, and it was you who created momentum, making me stand on the cusp of the storm more eye-catching; Beidi military power, East Grain Road, and the old general of Bao Bao...... There are also the two concubines Qian and Sun who speak for me, all of which have nothing to do with Duanping? ”

Meng Zheng froze for a long time, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zixuan, and did not say a word.

Zhao Zixuan pinched the cup in his hand, gently put it on the table, and said, "It was Duanping who forced me into a situation where I had to reverse step by step." ”

The night breeze blew in from outside the temple, bringing in the low chirping of summer insects. The night is quiet, but no heart in the temple is quiet.

After a long silence, Zhao Zixuan said: "I have saved you, and you have saved me from danger several times." I see you as a confidant and friend, but you see me as a pawn. ”

Meng Zheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly he chuckled, and the more he laughed, the louder he became. With that laughter, he exuded an indescribable sense of relief from his body, and after laughing, he let out a long breath and said, "It's me who underestimated Tianmen."

The matter has come to this point, and the minister only has one thing to say, hoping that the officials will listen to it in their hearts - put aside those meaningless feelings, and he is the real emperor. ”

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "Aside from those, then am I still me?" ”

Meng Zheng looked at Zhao Zixuan's eyes honestly and said, "The official family will be a good official." After that, he bowed respectfully and seriously, and said in a sincere tone: "At this point, the official family has no way out."

The south was flooded, and Jiaozhi was about to move, and Zhao Zijing was in a state of imperfection. The official family can bow down to Zhao Zi first. The official family needs time to recuperate, and he Zhao Zijing needs a chance to breathe.

But please remember that any grievances can be temporarily compromised, but only the four doors cannot be handed over.

After the rebellion and rebellion, do not order Xuanmen to remake divine soldiers, but to reform agricultural and animal husbandry tools, develop agriculture and animal husbandry, raise merchants, mine and metallurgy, and recuperate to fight with Zhao Zijing. ”

Zhao Zixuan said: "He is indeed a doppelganger, and he also had the intention of saving food when he retired from the army." But in the 15 days when Bu Lie rebelled and the four gates did not appear, he did not move his troops and did not take advantage of the situation to flank him. ”

Meng Zheng once again pleaded: "Thinking about things with affection and righteousness is not the way of the emperor. ”

Zhao Zixuan said: "I don't think he is thinking about his brother's bloodline. Don't take advantage of the situation to attack, one is to save strength, and wait for profits. Second, it is for the people of the north to suffer less war.

As the Son of Heaven, I am not as good as him. ”

Meng Zhengfu raised his head again, "The official family really thinks highly of Zhao Zijing, isn't he Zhao Zijing acting for himself?" ”

Zhao Zixuan looked at him, looked straight at him for a long time, and then said slowly: "Although you treat me as disloyal and unjust, you are still loyal to Cheng Wu, and you are still planning for him at this moment." I respect you for this one. ”

After that, Zhao Zijing took off his robe, and actually tore off a piece of his shirt with his bare hands and threw it on the ground, and then ordered the warriors outside the hall to take Meng Zheng down from the prison.

From the time he tore off the hem of his clothes to the time when the warriors outside the hall came in to escort people, the time was only a few moments, and Meng Zheng's mind was still on the word "Cheng Wu" in Zhao Zixuan's words.

originally thought that Zhao Zixuan had given the characterization of those things he planned to use the world as a game to show his ambitions and seek fame, but he never expected that he would dig out his identity. His mind was so messy by the impact of this unexpected knowledge that he couldn't react, and he was dragged down by the samurai in front of the palace.

Meng, as he appears on the surface, is indeed a powerless man. There were no incidents.

Zhao Zixuan's mood was very bad, and he sat there in a daze and looked at the wine jug.

Wan Wan flashed out and looked at him for a while, and she didn't know where to persuade him.

What Zhao Zixuan wants is dignity and freedom, and it is he who controls his own destiny. has been manipulated again and again, first by the Saint Emperor and then by the uncontrollable situation. And now I know that the "uncontrollable situation" is also man-made. And the manipulator is a confidant and friend he has always trusted.

On the smooth and flat ground, the torn hem of the garment was particularly conspicuous, as if it was mocking something.
