No one expected that Li Wucun had been walking the fish for most of the day. It turned into a turtle the size of a millstone the moment it came out of the water.

Several people were surprised and a little laughed and cried. Such a big turtle is indeed rare in the world, and it is auspicious to bring it home and raise it.

Chen Yu went to the field and called a few sturdy men. Several men were also taken aback by the big turtle.

They have lived on the banks of the Wei River for generations, and when they are not farming, they occasionally go down to the river to fish to support their families.

But such a big turtle, they have never seen it in the Wei River. One of them pointed to the big turtle in a very exaggerated tone.

Zhao Zhang Zheng asked: "Obediently, Shaolangjun, this is to catch the turtle prime minister in the Dragon Palace." As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the echo of several other men.

"That's right, such a big turtle, I'm afraid it won't be a thousand years old."

"What's more, didn't the village elders say that the turtle prime minister is nine thousand years old, I think this one is at least two thousand years old!" After listening to the innocent words of a few men, Zhang Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.

If they were to see a giant tortoise of more than 800 catties in the future, it would not be rumored that they would be descended to earth as a turtle god. Zhang Zheng stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the man who spoke at the beginning and said to him: "Okay, you help me transport it back to the house, it is more or less auspicious." ”

"Don't have a problem, look at us." The man smiled and commanded the others, "Come and help, turn this big guy over." ”

"Okay!" Several men bared their big yellow teeth and responded. Together, they turned the big turtle over. Then use two large wooden sticks to pass under the belly of the big turtle and fix it with a rope.

The four of them shouted as if carrying a sedan chair. carried this big guy of at least two hundred pounds on his shoulders.

The fishing rod broke, and Zhang Zheng lost the mind to continue fishing. greeted Li Wucun, Ma Zhou and Chen Yu, and followed those men towards the mansion.

Along the way, it naturally attracted the onlookers of the crowd of good deeds. Such a huge old turtle, everyone was amazed when they saw it.

After solving the problem of the old turtle, Zhang Zheng also had the heart to ask Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou hurriedly ran over, and the big thing in his mouth must not be small.

When a group of people left the river, Zhang Zheng asked Ma Zhou, "King Bin, what happened to make you so flustered?" Ma Zhou took a few steps forward and approached Zhang Zheng, and replied in a low voice: "Shaolangjun, something big has happened in Chang'an." The acting Guogong resigned! ”

"What did you say, resign on behalf of the Duke of the Kingdom?" Zhang Zheng's voice couldn't help but raise by eighty decibels, and his heart twitched inexplicably.

Ma Zhou nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the news brought back by the editor I sent to Chang'an to collect the newspaper's headlines today. Early this morning, the acting prince submitted his resignation to His Majesty, resigned from the position of the secretary of the military department and the right servant of the secretary, and only retained the title of acting duke. ”

"This, this, this, Your Majesty agreed?" Zhang Zheng was a little incredulous. I only went to visit Li Jing yesterday, and today Li Jing asked Li Shimin for his resignation.

This news is too sudden. Ma Zhou nodded again and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has agreed to the resignation of the Acting Guogong. Zhang Zheng was silent, he knew that Ma Zhou couldn't lie to him.

No one dares to spread this kind of fake news in Datang. But Li Jing resigned, and the news was really unexpected.

And this is a matter of the early dynasty today, and now it is estimated that the entire Chang'an has been spread. For Datang, the impact of Li Jing's resignation was no less than the sensation caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake.

In addition to being shocked, Zhang Zheng was still shocked, and it was difficult for Ma Zhou to lose his temper. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Li Jing would suddenly resign when he was just standing at the top of his life.

Zhang Zheng didn't think about this possibility. Even he was ready to ask Li Shimin for advice after Li Jing rejected him.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Zheng suddenly said to Ma Zhou: "The acting father is so courageous!" Ma Zhou was stunned, and then suddenly understood what Zhang Zheng meant.

Smiled and echoed: "It's really courageous! "The four words of rapid retreat are easy to say. However, looking through the annals of Chinese history, there are very few people who have the courage to make such a decision.

Before Li Jing, the only one who could make people talk about it was Zhang Liang. Others, even if the gods are as strange as Wu Anjun Baiqi, and the demons are like Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Such almost immortal-like characters can only end up in death. Zhang Zheng asked himself if he was in Li Jing's position.

Can you take a step back with the affection of the whole monarch. But after a moment, Zhang Zheng was silent. Not to mention standing in Li Jing's position, let's just say that now that Li Er has taken off his title as county earl, he will be very unwilling.

Zhang Zheng and Ma Zhou looked at each other speechlessly. Even the joy of harvesting the big turtle seemed to be diluted a lot by the news brought by Du Ma Zhou.

has been walking into Zhuangzi, Zhang Zheng's mood is very complicated. Along the way, Zhang Zheng also understood what Li Jing meant.

This is probably the tacit understanding he and Li Er reached. If you want to be the head of the military academy, you can! Li and Li Jing left the honor of military merits, that is, the title of acting duke.

However, the positions of the prime minister and the secretary of the military department were all withdrawn. The price is too great. Back in the mansion, several men carried the big turtle into the backyard of the Bofu.

There is a large lake in the backyard of the county office, which is said to have been dug by the previous owner. The water of the lake is drawn from Weishui, and there is an outlet circulation.

Ensure that the water in the lake is always alive. The rockery in the lake, the hibiscus water lily, the lakeside pavilions, the winding walkways, etc. are all available.

It's just that it's all very old now. After this house was rewarded by Li Er to Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Gongjin thought that the cost of renovating the lake was too great.

In addition, there are not many times a year when I have a chance to rest in the annex, so the building by the lake is abandoned.

But now this yard has become Zhang Zheng's county mansion, and this lake is just used to raise this old turtle. It just so happens that Zhang Zheng is still worried about having too much money and no place to spend it.

So at the moment when the old turtle entered the water, Zhang Zheng waved his hand and gave Liu Er an order to renovate the garden.

The treasury of the county government has been expanded again and again. And it doesn't cost much to renovate a yard, and the 5,000 guan that was stolen from Li Yuanchang can't be used.

So Zhang Zheng had to find a way to find a way out of the remaining money from the county uncle's mansion. But it doesn't matter how you spend your money now.

When he learned the news of Li Jing's resignation from Ma Zhouna, Zhang Zheng knew that he didn't have to wait for three days. As long as you want to go, you can go to the Daiguo Mansion to get the letter of appointment now.

Zhang Zheng thought about it, anyway, he didn't have anything to do in the afternoon. Since Li Jing has made this decision, the letter of appointment must have been signed.

asked Chen Yu to gather the guards, and the group beat their horses and headed towards Chang'an.
