"You...... , alas!" Han Chongyun was so angry that he first raised his thick eyebrows, and then gave a long sigh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a military general, his dream in life is, of course, to be a wife and a son, and even to become a prince like Chang Si and Fu Yanqing. And what he dreamed of didn't seem to have any attraction to Zheng Ziming. The latter had already been named the history of Zhengzhou when he was a toddler, and he had tasted the taste of glory and wealth. The bigger the latter official is, the heavier the suspicion of Emperor Liu Hanguo will be, and every time the position rises one level, it will be one step closer to death......

"Alas!" Zhao Kuangyin looked at it from the side, and also sighed and shook his head.

is different from Han Chongyun's "hindsight", at the moment when the proposal was vetoed by Zheng Ziming, he had already vaguely guessed the good intentions of his third brother. If you want to protect yourself, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough in one state. No matter how big the territory is, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will become a burden. And the more Zheng Ziming is not treated by the scholars, the less likely he is to be reunited in the future. The little emperor Liu Chengyou and the court of the Great Han Kingdom will not take him as a threat. Note 1

"So you're defiling yourself! I'm so bitter about it! I also said, why did you suddenly become so brutal and easy to kill!" Pan Mei came to her senses and patted her head and shouted quietly.

Self-defilement to save one's life, this strategy is not uncommon in history. In the past, Wang Jian threw a large army to attack Chu, and kept asking Ying Zheng for money and land on the way, just to destroy his image as a god of war with a greedy appearance, so as not to be suspicious of Ying Zheng and support his own army.

In the past, after Xiao He was established in the Han Dynasty, he immediately became a bad old man who was greedy for money and lustful, and he also won the favor of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, and the monarch and the minister were able to start and finish well.

In history, Guan Zhong, Jia Xu, and even the general Wang Li Xiaogong in the early Tang Dynasty made the same choice, all of whom were masters of pouring dirty water on their heads, and they all died. On the contrary, those who have been fame or sober-minded from beginning to end, such as Li Mu and Han Xin, have all died in vain.

Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for Zheng Ziming to be murdered by the jailers for the sake of his enemy Jia Deng's confusion, and to purge the gentry and heroes of Cangzhou in anger. It's not that he doesn't know how to win people's hearts, and it's not that he doesn't know how his reputation among scholars and doctors will affect his future. He actually knew it very well in his heart, but he was forced by reality to do the opposite!

"Oh, I see! General Zheng is clever, really clever!" The other generals present, such as Hu Yanzan, Guo Xin, Tao Dachun, and others, originally had an indifferent attitude towards the operation of sweeping the fortress in Quanzhou. After listening to the words of Han Chongyun and Pan Mei, they also suddenly realized one by one, and they all gave a thumbs up.

"No, not at all. No, that's not exactly the case! Really, really not!" Only Zheng Ziming himself, who was in a dilemma by the misunderstanding of the big guy, frowned, flattened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

He was content to be a Cangzhou defense envoy, not just to avoid arousing Liu Chengyou's jealousy. In fact, Liu Chengyou's jealousy of him has never stopped, even if he is just a Taoist priest outside the red dust, Liu Chengyou, Guo Yunming and others also want to get rid of him quickly.

In the same way, he ruthlessly swept the fortresses throughout Cangzhou, not just for self-defilement. In fact, as long as he can't clear the suspicion of the prince of the previous dynasty, no matter how bad his reputation is, he still has the possibility of being pushed to the throne. Just like when he was just a little thief who robbed his house, but he was still remembered by Liu Zhiyuan, Fu Yanqing, Li Shouzhen, Hou Jing and others, everyone tried to arrest him as a puppet, and they didn't consider whether his reputation was white or black!

The reason why he was content with the status quo was that the east side of Cangzhou was close to the sea, and if he could build a suitable large ship, he could reach Liaodong in five or six days to the north!

The reason why he refused to shake hands with the gentry and the powerful was because he did not believe that as long as he was not guilty of the past, he would be able to reap the hearts of the gentry and the powerful in Cangzhou.

He did not believe that only by relying on the gentry and the strong could order be restored and the "state" could be strengthened. The lessons of his father's death and his own life experience over the years clearly told him that eight out of ten of those gentry were city fox rats and silverfish of the country. The sooner we take out the courage to scrape the bones and cure the poison, and clean up this kind of people, the sooner the whole territory of Cangzhou will be rejuvenated.

It's just that Zheng Ziming also knows that these thoughts in his heart are too shocking. Just do it secretly by yourself, and you must not declare it. No matter how deep the friendship with Han Chongyun and Zhao Kuangyin and others is, it will definitely not be. Otherwise, it will not only be difficult to get the latter's understanding and support, but will also cast a shadow on the friendship between them.

"That's not the case, what's going on?Xiaofei, you're getting more and more capable now?!" Before he could figure out how to explain what he had done, Han Chongyun was already "furious", rushed forward, raised his fist and slammed it on his shoulder, "It's so hard to hide from me, it's so hard to hide from me." It's a shame that I covered up for you during this time, and didn't tell your sister-in-law about your strange thoughts. You dead fat man with a bad heart, Lao Tzu wants to cut off your righteousness!"

"Break off friendship, you must break off friendship!" Yang Guangyi, who also felt that he had been deceived, shook his fist and cheered on the side. "The sooner you expose the face of this unfortunate guy, the better. lest someone still be waiting for him to come to the door to propose!"

"Kiss, Ziming, have you been engaged to kiss before?" Tao Dachun was suddenly alert, and asked with round eyes.

"Yes, Ziming, who are you going to kiss? When did you decide to kiss? Actually, it's not just a spring girl?" Hu Yanzan was also full of nervousness, and his questioning voice was higher than one sentence.

"Brother, what are you doing with it?!" Hu Yanyun was ashamed, angry, and sad, and stamped his feet in protest. A daughter's family was stuffed into someone else's hands like a pouch by her father, which is shameful enough. Unexpectedly, the other party, the other party is still a demon in the middle of the color, seeing one hooking up with the other, he didn't forget to mess with flowers and grass wherever he went.

"You, what are you talking nonsense! Don't, don't mess around!" Zheng Ziming never expected that if he hesitated slightly, the matter would be stirred up into a pot of porridge by Yang Guangyi. The two big hands were like fans, swaying desperately in front of their chests.

agreed with Chang Wanying, as early as when he attacked Lijiazhai, he had already been honest with Tao Sanchun in private. Although Tao Sanchun couldn't believe it, he accepted his statement very considerately. It's just that he himself doesn't know how to explain Chang Wanying until now, and he doesn't have the courage to make the latter sad.

Therefore, this muddy account has been delayed until now. For more than a year, he has been able to "naturally" let himself think about more important things first. Subconsciously, he even tried to drag it out like this, until the day when it couldn't be delayed any longer.

Note 1: Chongzuo, that is, restoration. It means that a person who has lost the throne regains the throne by force or other means. Shi Yanbao is Shi Chonggui's only surviving son, and theoretically, has the right to inherit the throne of the Later Jin Dynasty. If you replace Liu Chengyou, it will be Chongzuo.

Note 2: Cangzhou in the early Song Dynasty had a very different geographical environment than it does now. Now there is a large area east of Cangzhou, which was still the sea in the early Song Dynasty.
