When the old man heard this, he quickly knelt down tremblingly: "My lord, he taught me this, how dare the villain make an assertion...... I also hope that Zheng will forgive his sins! ”

"Thanks to my carefulness," Zheng Shiyan sighed and threw the paper away, "Otherwise, Chen Tong will be mistaken!" Say, what is his purpose in doing this? ”

"Shicai Wei Shuban came to knock on the door and said that he wanted to ask the leader of Qi to discuss redundant matters in the Yue Mansion; Chen was afraid of being suspected, so he wanted to hide in Qi Mansion and not come out. ”

Zheng smacked his lips again and shook his head again: "He just told me if he didn't have it." If I believe it, if something happens, then I can't do anything! ”

"Don't worry," he added, "Zheng will not only wait here for news from him, but will also send someone to keep an eye on Wei Chong and see his movements clearly." This guy dares to arrest people without permission, and I will definitely arrive in time. Let's get back like this. ”

"Yes."

Not long after the old servant retired, Zheng Shiyan paced and thought about it in the hall, and suddenly heard the visit of Wei Shuban, then moved the tables and chairs, and ordered him to be brought into the hall to meet him.

"Wei Shuban, I haven't seen you for a long time, right?" After Zheng Shiyan stepped forward and finished saluting, he pulled Wei Chong to sit down in the hall.

"Lord Lu is very busy, how can the little one help?" Wei Chong said, picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, "Commander Zheng, the tea here is so light." ”

Zheng Shiyan frowned slightly, paused for a while, and then laughed: "Today's tea is lightly brewed, but it is all loved by the people of my house." You come and go in such a hurry, Zheng naturally doesn't know your taste. ”

Wei Chong took over unhurriedly: "If Yuefu wants to entertain guests, it is better to call it thicker." ”

"I'm not good at making claims, I have to ask Lord Lu if he wants to change the tea." Zheng Shiyan looked at the tea leaves floating in the bowl and said.

Wei Chong wiped his mouth a few times, put down the tea at the time, and looked stunned: "Commander Zheng, you have thought about it, don't regret it in the future!" ”

Zheng Shiyan calmly turned his head and replied slowly: "You can go elsewhere and see if the tea made by others is to your liking." I'm afraid it's all light. ”

"Good! I want to see how long you can be tough! With that, Wei Chong brushed his sleeves away.

"It's good to go, don't send it."

Zheng Shiyan glanced at it coldly, then turned around, saw a few officers coming up, and asked: "The general is only talking about tea on the surface, but in fact he has a secret point, and we are clear." However, since Wei Chong has shown favor to me, he should welcome him, so why should he reject it? ”

"First, he relied on his power to cut redundancy and wanted to ask me for a reward, which was obviously to force us to curry favor with him. Even if he showed weakness for a while, Wei Chong would not be grateful to Dade, and turned around and sold us; Second, now that our government is fighting against the willow thieves with all parties, if I secretly befriend Wei Chong, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of all parties and cause disputes to arise again; Third, Lu Gong is not here, and the teacher is strict with rewards and punishments, and he doesn't know what the main thing is? With these three principles, don't let him drink this strong tea! ”

After that, he laughed with everyone.

A day later, Jingshi, Xu Wangfu.

King Xu walked out of the inner courtyard slowly, and the envoy looked at him, and saw that he was wearing a black and gold-patterned python robe, holding a handful of jade ruyi, with a high jaw, a low nose bridge, an extremely square face, a wide forehead, and a little luster. He has melancholy eyes, a thin body, and the appearance of a gentleman.

"It's not appropriate to discuss here, please invite the prince to come in and talk." The messenger bowed and said.

"There's no one else here, it's quiet. Let's get straight to the point. King Xu said.

"The people in the court have been dissatisfied with the Liu Party for a long time, and now the saint is driving to the south, and only Yan Wen is in the court, so he can take the opportunity to punish his henchmen to help the community. Donggong also thought so and decided to plot. Your Highness always has grievances, and it's time to do your best! The messenger was very emotional and urged him.

After hearing this, King Xu began to feel difficult in his heart, but he still replied without thinking: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, and he has the same brother as me, so there is no reason to obey!" But the enemy is outnumbered, and this matter needs to be considered slowly before it can be decided, and it must not be reckless. ”

"There are several pairs of eyes in the palace, if the conspiracy is leaked, it will be controlled by them, how can it be delayed!" The messenger snapped.

King Xu was ashamed, and he didn't know what to do, but he saw a scholar-like figure behind him come out, he shook a bamboo fan, pointed to the messenger and said, "Be quiet, be quiet!" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Dare to ask if this is ......"

"This is the king of this king reading Lan Yuan." King Xu pulled him over with a smile, "He has a stunning strategy, so he can not be under the minister of the court." ”

"Dare to ask the blue ...... What do you think? ”

Lan Yuan said with a smile: "In the lower ranks, how dare you give any high opinions." It's just that this King Xu, he has an impatient temperament and is easy to panic, please don't push, let me talk to His Highness, and get a good idea. ”

"Please."

Lan Yuan glanced at King Xu, and King Xu understood and went into the house with him to discuss secretly.

At this point, the political situation in Beijing needs to be explained here. Since Emperor Liuzhen's southern tour, Yan Wen has become the role of calling for clouds and rain in the court. No matter how loyal this person is to the Liu Party, he is a literati after all, and his way is very different from that of Liu Zhennian, and he is obviously more thoughtful, and he is more thoughtful than Liu Zhennian's violent policy.

The first thing he thought of was that the Liu Party occupied all the important positions in the court, which made it difficult for the backward people from all over the court to be promoted, and they were all full of anger, but they just didn't have a chance to break out. But those domineering Liu Dang did not feel any oppressive and cold atmosphere, but felt that it should be like this, and it should last so long.

Yan Wen was different, he persuaded his colleagues more than once: "Although the general is extremely famous and powerful in the sea, he is not very interested in favors. If you want to sit firmly on this number one position, you must implement benevolent government, and you cannot rely on your vicious methods. Although those self-appointed scholars and doctors are disgusted, they are still the foundation of the imperial court and cannot be easily eliminated. Only when our power is recognized can we gain a foothold in this capital and command the whole world. The defeat of the previous generation of powerful ministers, Yin Jian is not far away! ”

These people are afraid of Yan Wen's status, so they have to only make promises; But in the blink of an eye, they were unwilling to make any concessions to the other ministers. Yan Wen is also not easy to do with these brothers who follow Liu Zhennian.

But by this time, the time was ripe. Yan Wen began to give orders, first transferring one of the imperial historians of the Liu Party out and reappointing him to Zhang Han; He also ordered Sun Weigao to be a bachelor of Hanlin to please people's hearts. Although these two people had bad intentions, they tried their best to slap Yan Wen and agree with their intentions, so they were repeatedly trusted by their cronies.

As for their other accomplice, King Xu? This person is much more complicated. He has a good relationship with the crown prince, but he doesn't have a clear idea of Liu Dang, he just talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts. But today he can't be fooled anymore, he must find an answer.
