"Si Li Xiao Wei Xiang, known as virtuous, loyal and filial piety-based, only to learn as a teacher, especially into too often"

Wang Xiang maintained a saluting posture and accepted the edict issued by the "emperor".

The edict came faster than Wang Xiang thought, and he didn't even wait for the next day's court meeting, and almost soon after the court meeting ended, someone found Wang Xiang and immediately read out the emperor's edict.

Wang Xiang was unmoved, and thanked the emperor very sincerely.

After sending the messenger away, a smile finally appeared on Wang Xiang's face.

"Hugh, now you're finally relieved, right?"

Lu Yu walked out of the inner room, stroking his beard with a smile, looking quite proud.

Wang Xiang smiled and put away the edict, and invited Lu Yu into the house again.

"Gong Lu, I just want to serve the temple, and now I have been favored like this with my mediocre talents, I am really afraid"

Listening to Wang Xiang's words, Lu Yu didn't care, and continued: "You know these things in your own heart. ”

Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Xun Yi?"

"He came to me, and he came to the door just after you saw me."

Lu Yu said: "He originally wanted Cui Zan to take this position, I recommended you to him, and let him also look at those ideas." ”

"He immediately promised to help you."

Wang Xiang asked, "Why does he want Cui Zan to serve as the Taichang?" ”

"Because the bell will."

"Zhong Hui wants to be righteous for the classics, you know this, right?"

"I heard."

"Xun Yi didn't dare to let Zhong Hui mess around, and I don't know how Zhong Gong gave birth to such a son, if others said that they wanted to correct the righteousness of the classics, I wouldn't believe it, but Zhong Hui said so, who could not believe it? Who can not be afraid? ”

The more Wang Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

It all feels like it's all a coincidence.

The emperor set up a banquet to build momentum for himself, so that he had a chance to ascend to the throne, and then deliberately proposed the classic and righteous things for Zhong Hui to take over, and then Xun Yi and others were afraid that Zhong Hui would mess around, so they chose themselves, the person closest to the Taichang position, to serve as the person.

If none of this is a coincidence, but someone is plotting.

Wang Xiang took a deep breath.

He felt more and more that the young emperor was a little unfathomable, and he inexplicably had a feeling of facing Xuan Wengong, one step, three steps, everything was arranged for you clearly.

Looking at Wang Xiang who was in a trance, Lu Yu asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine, it's just remembering something."

Lu Yu's face became serious, and he said seriously: "You have to be ready, the inside of Shangshutai has been operational, and it has begun to prepare large-scale grain and grass, and the officials from all over the country should understand what the temple is going to do, right?" ”

Wang Xiang said calmly: "I understand. ”

"After the general pacifies Biqiu Jian, I will take the lead in putting forward those suggestions, and when the time comes, you have to fully cooperate, and now Xun Yi and others are also on our side."

Lu Yu looked quite excited, and he also had absolute confidence to complete this matter.

Wang Xiang also smiled, but he didn't think so.

Lu Gong, since you insist on delaying, let's take the lead instead of you, anyway, everyone can profit from this matter, and you will not occupy the dangerous position of Shangshutai because of small losses, but you have so many worries about doing things, how can this be done?

Listening to Lu Yu's wonderful fantasies, Wang Xiang remembered other things.

I don't know what happened to Chen Qian at the moment, and whether things are going well?

At this moment, Chen Qian is sitting in Zongzheng's mansion, sitting with the newly appointed Zongzheng facing each other, drinking tea and talking.

The newly appointed Zongzheng is the original Shaofu Zheng Yuan.

At the beginning, Sima Shi sent three people to meet Cao Chao, among which Wang Su had been pitted back to his hometown, Huabiao lived his life in fear, and Zheng Hao also changed the official title.

He moved from Shaofu to Guangluxun, and then took Guangluxun and Zongzheng.

Zongzheng is the official in charge of the affairs of the royal family.

Speaking of which, in fact, Zongzheng should be served by a royal person, Zheng Yuan can become Zongzheng because his wife's surname is Cao, and he is also included in the clan, the problem is that although his wife's surname is Cao, she is not a clan!

At this moment, Chen Qian and Zheng Qian sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

Chen Qian put down the tea in his hand and opened his mouth first: "Zheng Jun, I heard that you have been promoted to Zongzheng, and I specially came to congratulate you." ”

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zheng Yuan's eyes.

What kind of promotion is this?

What else can Zongzheng care about today? The clans have been transferred to Hebei in large numbers, and almost all of them have been kept in captivity, and a few of them are also unable to sleep and eat all day, where is there any need to manage?

But Zheng Hao didn't say these words, he nodded, "Thank you Gong Chen." ”

Chen Qian laughed, "The general attaches great importance to you, the three people who went to Yuancheng, only you have been promoted, it is enough to see that the general attaches great importance to you." ”

Zheng Hao didn't say anything more this time, his expression was very serious.

Chen Qian shook his head, "In the future, you will offend a lot of people, now this sect, what you can be responsible for is only to deal with the wrong clan, the temple has strict laws for the clan, this wicked person has to be served by you, so it seems that the general doesn't believe you?" Or do you want to dissociate yourself from the Emperor? ”

Zheng Yuan's eyes finally had some surprise, and he looked at Chen Qian in front of him.

"Could it be that Chen Gong is planning to rebel?"

"Don't scare me like that."

Chen Qian hurriedly denied it, and he spoke again: "I just want to do big things with you." ”

Zheng Yuan said very seriously: "If you want to rebel, then you must kill me, otherwise, I will inform the general immediately." ”

"In this way, will the general trust you?"

Chen Qian asked rhetorically.

Zheng Yuan was silent.

Zheng Yuan was different from the rest of the ministers, he never showed a tendency to support the Sima family, he was cautious by nature, did not want to participate in the chaos in the temple, he promoted and recommended many talented people.

As the master, he did not contact these people at all, nor did he take the initiative to win over these people, but in the eyes of Sima Shi, he was still a key figure who had contacts with many temple ministers.

This made Sima Shi always very wary of him, constantly testing his ingredients, and even forcing him to take a stand.

Historically, Sima Shi went to crusade against Biqiu Jian, so he wanted to take Wang Su and Zheng Yuan, Zheng Yuan claimed that he was seriously ill and did not go, so Sima Shi took Wang Su's hand and said that he did not see Zheng Yuan, and felt very sorry in his heart.

When Wang Su brought this scary sentence to Zheng Yuan, Zheng Yuan was so frightened that he immediately got into the car and rushed to chase Sima Shi.

When Sima Shi saw him coming, he happily pulled him into the carriage and asked him how he could defeat Biqiu Jian.

Zheng Hao gave an answer, and Sima Shi let him leave satisfied.

This is completely Sima Shi forcing Zheng Yuan to express his position, if Zheng Yuan did not chase Sima Shi at that time, or did not offer advice, he may have "died of illness" soon after, after all, he claimed that he was seriously ill.

Chen Qian looked at Zheng Yuan, who was hesitant in front of him, and finally opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to rebel, I really have something important to talk to you about and listen to me."

Chen Qian truthfully told Wang Xiang what he told him.

But when he finished speaking, Zheng Yuan couldn't sit still.

"When did you defect to Your Majesty?!"

"Huh?!"

Chen Qian's eyes were a little shocked.

"What does all this have to do with Your Majesty?"

Zheng Hao said: "When I went to Yuancheng to greet Your Majesty, I heard these things from Hua Jun's mouth, and Your Majesty had these thoughts at that time, which are exactly the same as what you are saying now!" ”

"Are you here to be a lobbyist for Your Majesty?!"

Zheng Yuan asked very sternly.

Chen Qian didn't panic at all, he said with a smile: "I am a lobbyist for the empress, not for Your Majesty." ”

"Zheng Jun, I know your personality very well, I know that you are definitely not a villain who can be driven by interests, and I also know that you have always been cautious and unwilling to participate in temple disputes, but when I knew about this matter, I was the first to come to you."

"This is because I know your current situation very well, the general seems to be reusing you, but he has always been wary of you, thinking that you are disloyal to him, it is not that you can hide if you don't want to participate, you have to make a choice."

"This is not to be an enemy of the general, this is a good opportunity to improve the strength of the courtiers."

"The reason why I dare to tell you to your face is because I am not afraid that the general will kill me because of such a thing."

"The same is true for you, this matter is harmless to you, but it will be your life talisman, as long as you are bound to the interests of the family, no one in the world will dare to kill you."

"Even if the general has murderous intentions towards you, don't dare to do it easily, otherwise, you will suffer a counterattack from the ministers."

"What do you think?"

Chen Qian quickly stated his reasons.

Zheng Yuan was silent, Zheng Yuan could naturally feel Sima Shi's vigilance against him, and the feeling of temptation made Zheng Yuan very uneasy, he always hid in the mansion on weekdays, and he didn't go out much, and he didn't dare to play in the temple, and he avoided things, just for fear of being attacked inexplicably.

Zheng Hao couldn't understand the general's thoughts in his heart, he obviously didn't do anything, he just completed his duties and recommended some useful talents, why should he be afraid of himself because of this?

At this moment, the appearance of the young emperor resurfaced in Zheng Yuan's mind.

Although they had only met a few times, the young emperor made an extremely strong impression on him.

Seeing that Zheng Qian was a little hesitant, Chen Qian laughed, didn't force it, and slowly stood up, "It seems that I didn't think it through, since you don't want to participate, please keep it secret for the time being, don't leak it, it's also soon, just in the next few days, I will officially contact the minister of the temple, but I feel a little tired to handle such a thing alone, so I want to do it with you."

"I wonder if I can think about it for a few more days?"

Chen Qian frowned, "It's okay, it's just two days, two days later, please give an answer." ”
