Chapter 6: Red Makeup (2)

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that I was established at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived. No one should be overly extravagant!" Some people are happy for Zheng Ziming, and naturally some people look at him unpleasantly. In the Hanliang Hall of the Great Zhou Palace, the privy envoy Wang Jun stepped forward angrily and slapped a copy of the impeachment on Guo Wei's table.

"Oh, someone has squandered the country's children, who is so bold?" Guo Wei was holding a history book and working hard, and was startled by the sound on the table, raised his head, frowned and asked.

"No, it's not!" Wang Jun was suddenly asked for a while, frowned and gritted his teeth, and after a while, he changed his relatively relaxed tone and added: "Even if you spend your own money, you shouldn't show off your wealth like this." My Great Zhou is not the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I can't tolerate Wang Kai and Shi Chong!" (Note 1)

"Oh, spend your own money?" Guo Wei was stunned again, stood up, and poured a cold tea for Wang Jun with his own hands, "On a hot day, Brother Xiufeng will drink tea first to cool off." Although I don't like people to deliberately show off their wealth, as long as people spend their own money, as long as they don't exceed the limit, I can't interfere too much!"

At this time, the weather has already entered autumn, and in the Hanliang Palace, which is surrounded by water on three sides, where is there half a minute of heat? Wang Jun's old face suddenly turned a little dark, but he couldn't help but accept the tea handed over by Guo Wei himself. Holding the teacup in a daze, he took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to pretend to be confused with the old minister." That Zheng Ziming got married, and he bought more than a dozen cars of fine red silk alone. It is said that on the day of marriage, the trees on both sides of the house should be ...... red makeup"

"You mean this thing, Chang Kegong has already informed me. This is the agreement between Zheng Ziming and the youngest daughter of the Chang family when he was a child, and it can't be said or not. Guo Wei poured himself a bowl of tea, deliberately not looking at Wang Jun's seven-trick smoke. While standing up and pacing lightly along the window, he calmly added. "Anyway, they have two sons-in-law, and they are both first-class tycoons. I thought that it would be good to have their temperament tossing once, and there was no need for the court to interfere too much. ”

"You ......" didn't expect Guo Wei to be on the side of the impeachment target, Wang Jun was so angry that his hands trembled, and half of the tea was splashed on his own placket.

"Brother Xiufeng, Chang Si is sitting in Zelu and Liangzhou, and he has made great achievements in the past few days. I am also an old acquaintance with him, and I really don't want him to be incompatible with you. Otherwise, sometimes, I really don't know who to support me!Alas-" Guo Wei heard the sound of water behind him, but he refused to look back, his eyes looked at the pond full of lotus canopies in front of Hanliang Palace, and sighed.

The sigh was not long, but it was like two big slaps, which made Wang Jun's face flushed.

I don't know who to support him? It's obvious that he is pretending to be confused and deliberately making himself ugly by the hand of common thought! Otherwise, whether it is to maintain the majesty of the law or to protect the face of the court, when he spits on the head of the privy envoy, he should be exterminated!

However, Wang Jun himself knew that his ideas were unrealistic. First of all, Chang Si had a heavy army and was close to the Northern Han Dynasty. If this person is really forced to be anxious and ordered to fall to Taiyuan with his soldiers and horses, then the door of the Great Zhou will be opened, and the Central Plains will definitely rise again in a few days after the restoration of tranquility.

Secondly, Chang Feihu has great merit and country, and has a very close personal relationship with Fu Lao Wolf, Gao Baima and others. If the imperial court easily disposes of Chang Si, it will inevitably cause the reaction of the princes in other places, and it will definitely affect the whole body!

Again, it is the attitude of the Manchu civil and military on this matter. Those who are jealous of the virtuous and jealous are eager to see their own jokes! Chang Si just did what they had been wanting to do but didn't do, if they didn't get Guo Wei's support, it would be impossible for them to make Chang Si apologize, let alone let the Manchu civil and military pass a court agreement and send troops to attack Zelu Erzhou!

Thinking of the time when Chang Si spat in his face, Manchao Wenwu's gloating gaze. Wang Jun was extremely resentful in his heart! What did he do wrong? What he did was not for the sake of this court and this country! The courtiers who were short-sighted only saw Zheng Ziming's feat of sacrificing his life to save his father, but they didn't want to think that if such a person came back safely, served as the envoy of the Zhenji Festival, and then echoed with his father-in-law Chang Siyao, the imperial court would completely lose control over Hedong and Hebei! The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be virtually reduced by one-third! Even if he can't control it stably within himself, how can he reject the Khitan in the north and sweep Jingchu in the south after the Great Sunday, and reorganize the disintegrating Kyushu into one?

"Brother Xiufeng, I have been reading history books for the past few days and found one thing!" Just when he was indescribably wronged, Wang Jun's ears came to Guo Wei's voice again, not high, but every word was like a needle, "Whether it is Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor who reshaped the Han Dynasty, or Li Yuan, the ancestor who flattened the heroes and laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, his bearing is extremely magnificent, and he never worries that his subordinates are better than themselves." And those who see that their subordinates have made some contributions, and they begin to prevent the slightest mistake, it is usually difficult for the country to last long. It's already very good luck to be able to kill the second generation. Almost eight out of ten, before they died, they were already ......."

"I didn't take precautions against Zheng Ziming! The news of his trip to Liaodong was not deliberately leaked to the Khitans!" Before Guo Wei could finish speaking, Wang Jun jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, waving his arms in defense.

However, when the words fell, he suddenly found that his actions were slightly suspicious of wanting to cover up. Suddenly, his face flushed with annoyance, he stomped his feet, and gasped: "If Your Majesty suspects that the old minister is secretly colluding with the Khitans, even if the old minister is imprisoned." As long as the evidence is conclusive, even if the old minister dies and the clan is destroyed, he will never shout that he is wronged!"

"Brother Xiufeng, what are these words, did I say that I doubted you? I am not Liu Chengyou, how can I kill the entire privy envoy without guilt?!" Guo Wei was startled by Wang Jun's sudden outburst of anger, and glanced back at the other party, and his tone immediately brought out a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Then Your Majesty just said that you can't see that your subordinates have made some merits and take precautions! Except for the old minister, who else has targeted Zheng Ziming?" Wang Jun stalked his neck, seven disobeyed and eight were angry.

He can swear to the sky that it is definitely not himself who leaked the news of Zheng Ziming's infiltration into Liaodong to the Khitan Xizuo. If he really made his own move, Zheng Ziming's father and son would have no chance to return to Cangzhou alive!

"You did target Zheng Ziming before! However, I believe that you, Wang Xiufeng, will not do such a thing! I will borrow the hands of the Khitan people to harm my own comrades!" Guo Wei's voice came again, and continued to poke Wang Xiufeng's heart like a needle. "But, Brother Ke Xiufeng, the news leak is also a fact. ”

"It's not the old minister, the old minister is willing to let the court investigate!" Wang Jun's face was so red that it almost dripped blood. Two fists clenched and waved in front of him, "The old minister is also strictly investigating the leakage of secrets these days. But, but His Majesty has to leave some time for the old minister. ”

The leak is a fact. The news of Zheng Ziming's infiltration into Liaodong was indeed deliberately leaked to Liao. And the accuracy of the news was shocking, and even the details of the water route with the surname Zheng going up the river were sent out at an unexpected speed.

Those who can grasp the details to such an extent, from the front line to the court, the total number of people is less than twenty. Among these twenty people, only he has the worst relationship with Zheng Ziming, and has been working hard to suppress this son and limit his development space. Therefore, it happened that Chang Si spit on his head in front of the Manchu civil and military on the day of the class teacher's prisoner, so almost all the Manchu civil and military secretly gave Chang Si a thumbs up, instead of standing up and accusing him of roaring the court!

"You don't have to check, I won't check again!" Guo Wei's words continued to come from his ears, with a bit of compromise, but Wang Jun felt cold in his heart. "I don't plan to delve into this matter, Zheng Ziming has already returned, and if this matter is investigated, there is no point in anything except that the civil and military officials have put everyone in danger. I'm just, I'm just sighing, why did I have such a dirty thing in less than a year after the establishment of the Great Zhou. Borrowing the sword of the Khitan people to kill their own generals, and killing them so with peace of mind, so concerted up and down! My Great Zhou, my Great Zhou, even if it is a river fish, it shouldn't rot so quickly after it comes out of the water!"

After saying that, there was already a bit of grief and indignation. Many of the words that Wang Jun had already organized into his throat lost their meaning and function in an instant. Gritting his teeth, he grimaced and pondered for a long time. Only then did he endure a bad breath, sighed and explained: "Your Majesty can have such a bearing and mind, it is really a blessing for all officials. The minister can swear to the sky, and the minister definitely did not deliberately leak Zheng Ziming's whereabouts. The old minister admitted that he was too careless about this matter at the beginning, and did not strictly limit the number of people who knew about it. In the Privy Council, too many old people from the past dynasties have been retained. If someone originally had an enmity with Zheng Ziming, or thought that getting rid of Zheng Ziming for the imperial court would be more beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then ......"

"I'm worried about the latter!" Guo Wei raised his fist and slammed it on the window frame, shaking the eaves of the house. "Obviously jealous of the virtuous, but I feel that I am dedicated to the country. Once this idea spreads, it is difficult to say whether I can guarantee that I will not follow in the footsteps of Shi Zhonggui when I say that Yanyun will be restored in the future!"

"This ......" Wang Jun's heart twitched, and he quietly took two steps back, and his cheeks flushed again. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very right, this wind cannot be long!"

"So, you say that I am conniving or compensating. No matter how grand Zheng Ziming wants to make the wedding this time, I will not interfere. Alas, I owe him, and I and you owe him!"

"This ......" Wang Jun's eyebrows suddenly frowned again, his face full of confusion, "Your Majesty, how can these two things be confused." Although Zheng Ziming made great contributions to the country, after he rescued his father, he hid him again, claiming that the behavior of the father and son getting separated halfway was a real bully. It is enough for His Majesty to take a blind eye and close an eye to his actions. And don't let him ...... again."

"Alas, Brother Xiufeng, you said that if Zheng Ziming told me the truth, he rescued Shi Chonggui, and now he is placed on an island that no one can find, how should I deal with it?" Guo Wei sighed faintly and interrupted in a low voice.

"Of course, of course it's ......" Wang Jun clenched his hands into fists and waved them in front of his chest. However, halfway through the words, he suddenly remembered the army under the command of Chang Si and Zheng Ziming, and immediately held back the words back into his stomach, shaking his head and sighing.

"Alas-" Guo Wei sighed, looked at the water, and added faintly, "If I knew that Shi Chonggui was back, but chose to ignore it, someone would definitely laugh at me for being cowardly and small, and I couldn't even tolerate an old man who didn't have a single soldier in his hands." But if I put Shi Chonggui in Bianliang, even if he was raised by a high-ranking official, if someone secretly killed him under the banner of sharing my worries like he did with Zheng Ziming before, what would be the result? Brother Xiufeng, you don't have to think about it carefully, you should be able to deduce it! Therefore, it is better for both sides to pretend to be confused! Whatever Zheng Ziming says, I will listen to. In the future, whether Shi Chonggui is dead or alive is a matter for a veteran of the people, and it has nothing to do with the country at all!"

"Yes!" Wang Jun was finally convinced, and nodded with a wry smile.

Champion general, Zhenji Jiedu envoy, Chen Jun's disciple, Chang Si's son-in-law, coupled with the miraculous feats of defeating the Khitan army many times, led more than 30 people to fight in Liaodong thousands of miles of glorious deeds, unconsciously, the little guy who could be pinched to death by himself at the beginning has become a behemoth. Anything that involves the safety of those around him must be handled with care. Otherwise, the Great Zhou Dynasty ......

As he was thinking sullenly, there was a rush of footsteps in his ears. Suddenly turned around, only to see Feng Dao, the privy deputy envoy who should be on duty in the Privy Council today, hurriedly walked in.

"Chang Legong, why are you here? What happened to be a hundred thousand urgent!" Wang Jun was quite jealous of this person, and hurriedly called the nicknames that everyone gave each other, and asked in a low voice.

"Great joy, great joy, the ministers congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate the Great Zhou, and congratulate the people of the world!"

"He Xizhi, Ying Guogong, don't patronize me and make me happy!" Like Wang Jun, Guo Wei also looked down on Feng Dao a little in his heart. It's just that because of this person's qualifications and ability, he has to leave a high position for him. But he didn't intend to really entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and put his heart into it.

"Old minister, old minister has just received the seal of the envoy of the Zhenji Festival, and he recommended Zhao Kuangyin, Fu Zhaoxu, and Gao Huaide to serve as the envoys of Shenzhou, Zhaozhou, and Jizhou! The four brothers are willing to work hand in hand to jointly guard the northern gateway for the country!" Feng Dao was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he made another gesture, and added loudly in a dumb voice.

Note 1: Wang Kai and Shi Pet, both of them were famous rich men in ancient times, and they fought with each other many times, which made the world shameful.
