Chapter 314: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
The little girl was just bored in the palace and wanted to come out for a walk. When the crown princess returned to the palace, she naturally followed back.
Before leaving, the little girl told Zhang Zheng with a smile that his father was already building a princess mansion for her.
The location is in Weinan County, not far from the county office. Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, the little girl is only nine years old this year.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, is ten years old this year, and he has not yet opened a government office. It's just that when he thought of the little girl's marriage contract with himself, Zhang Zheng understood why.
"I'm leaving...... Qinghe waved at Zhang Zheng, seemingly without the sorrow of parting at all. Zhang Zheng sent her to the vicinity of the crown princess Wang's car.
Seeing Zhang Zheng appear, Wang couldn't help but be a little stunned. thought that his marriage to Li Chengqian was only possible because of Zhang Zheng's media.
He made a blessing to Zhang Zheng from afar. Zhang Zheng could already see that Wang's stomach was already bulging, and it seemed that Li Chengqian's eldest son or eldest daughter was developing healthily.
Zhang Zheng returned the salute and bowed down to watch the princess's car drive away. After the car drove away, Zhang Zheng returned to Xiaotang and began to ponder.
Li Chengqian's first heir is a man or a woman, which is very crucial. If it is a boy, then Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is solid.
Unless Li Chengqian dies by himself and rebels like in history. If it's a daughter, there will be more variables.
Everyone in the world knows how Li Er ascended to the throne, so Li Er needs to maintain etiquette more than anyone else.
The first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to make a crown prince, which meant that it was enough for such a thing to happen once, and in the future, it would be according to the rules of the eldest son's succession.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Zheng still decided to wait for Li Chengqian's eldest son to come to the world before considering the matter of officially accepting Li Tai as an apprentice.
The teacher-student relationship in this era is analogous to father and son. Confucianism respects heaven and earth, once the name is decided, if Li Taisheng has any thoughts that he shouldn't have in the future, Zhang Zheng will be difficult to deal with himself in the middle.
That's why Zhang Zheng kept dragging on this matter, just to wait for news from Li Chengqian's side. Otherwise, a smart student like Li Tai would be thrilled by whoever comes.
At least Liu Fang had already mentioned it to Zhang Zheng several times, and if Zhang Zheng was unwilling to accept the apprentice, he could accept it in exchange for him.
Zhang Zheng replied to Liu Fang's three words: "Think beautifully." After dinner in the evening, Zhang Zheng left Li Tai in Xiaotang to do the problem, and came to the Dongyang River to fish.
Of course, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Zheng's fishing skills are rotten. In the pond in the backyard of the county uncle's mansion, the Wang Ba, who weighed more than 200 catties, is the proof.
Therefore, fishing is more of a kind of mental polishing for Zhang Zheng.
"Uncle......
"Well, don't make any noise, the fish bites." Zhang Zheng raised his hand to stop what Chen Yu was about to say next. Then staring intently at the buoy on the water, and as soon as the buoy sinks, the rod is thrown.
And then...... A crucian carp less than a finger long jumped out of the water.
"Hehe, Uncle is really, it's really different, even catching a fish, huh...... Delicate ......" Chen Yu laughed dryly, looking at Zhang Zheng's catch, this small fish that was not even enough to plug his teeth, and wanted to make a sycophant.
I just thought about it for a long time, but I really didn't know how to praise it, so I had to say a delicate sentence dryly.
Zhang Zheng had a black line on his face, and scolded Chen Yu angrily: "If you don't know how to shoot horses, don't learn to shoot hard, it's easy to shoot horses' legs." ”
"Yes, yes, uncle's lesson is yes." Chen Yu buckled the back of her head a little embarrassed, looking honest and wooden.
Zhang Zheng was not discouraged, continued to rub the bait and throw the rod, turned his back to Chen Yu and said, "Say, what's the news?" When Chen Yu heard this, his face suddenly became a little bright, and he replied: "Last night, Guiyibo's courtyard in Lantian County was punished by heaven, and the entire courtyard was razed to the ground. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, not surprised that Gui Yibo's mansion was razed to the ground, but surprised by Li Shimin's trust in Cui Li.
Now that the Firearms Bureau can't even step into it himself, Cui Li can actually get gunpowder from the Firearms Bureau. It seems that Cui Li is not as miserable as he said.
Gui Yibo is the price given by Cui Li to betray the family and Li Shimin. People are more than people, and that's what angry people say.
Zhang Zheng made so many things, almost everything brought substantial changes to Datang, and he almost died in the hands of the family, and in the end he was only exchanged for an earl.
Cui Li just stabbed the family gate valve in the back, and he was directly named an earl. Really, how to say it, Zhang Zheng frowned, and his heart was a little twisted.
After a pause, Zhang Zheng continued to ask: "What about the follow-up, are Cui Li and Zheng Tong dead?" ”
"The official of Lantian County found an unrecognizable corpse in the ruins, but looking at the clothing specifications, there is no doubt that it is Gui Yibo. Zheng Tong was taken away by a mysterious person before the heavenly punishment happened. Now Lantian County has been listed in Chang'an, and Gui Yibo died in the punishment of heaven. Chen Yu told the story of last night, and Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes when he heard it.
Cui Li is so easy to die, but it just turns from light to dark. As for Zheng Tong, it was obvious that people had already prepared when they came, after all, it was impossible for people to fall twice in the same place.
Zhang Zheng has gunpowder, and whoever stipulates Cui Li can't have it. In Zhang Zheng's view, Cui Li's means are too perfectly arranged, so he will fail.
You set up a banquet, and the first time Zheng Tong appeared, he should detonate the gunpowder. What's the point of having to come and treat each other politely and show the world?
Sometimes the more perfect the strategy, the better, and the more perfect the strategy, the easier it is to go wrong. Because precise planning requires extremely high control, it is obvious that the power in Cui Li's hands now cannot meet that requirement.
Cutting through the mess with a quick knife is the correct way to open the Hongmen Banquet, okay? Reputation, they are already traitors, what's the use of reputation?
"So it means that Cui Li let Zheng Tong escape, right?" Zhang Zheng was a little unhappy, this is an equivalent exchange, and now I have arranged your sister to be a gentleman in the academy.
But what is it that you paid me and fled?
"Yes, it's still the uncle's clever calculation, even if Uncle Guiyi can't kill Zheng Tong, so let Qiu Shisan stay in the dark. Now that I think about it, Qiu 13 should have already taken Zheng Tong's head and was on his way back to the academy. Chen Yu arched his hand towards Zhang Zhengyi, his face full of admiration.
In the end, the uncle is a step ahead. The corners of Zhang Zheng's mouth tugged, what a trick. I just like to prepare for everything I do.
Zhang Zheng didn't trust Cui Li that much. No matter how capable Cui Li is, Zhang Zheng will not put all his hopes on Cui Li.
Sometimes, it doesn't hurt to go the extra mile.
