"Hahaha, congratulations for Sikong Gong!!"

The ministers smiled and saluted He Zeng.

He Zeng sat on the top seat with a smile, his eyes were full of kindness, and greeted the ministers who came to congratulate him one by one.

At this moment, they didn't know the situation in front of General Wei, and they all came here to celebrate He Zeng's ascension.

Even, even Zheng Chong came to congratulate.

Zheng Chong, who usually looks sad and worried, looks full of smiles on his face at the moment, and even took the initiative to say hello to people.

After being deposed, Zheng Chong's mood was particularly comfortable.

It was not a day or two since he wanted to resign, and when he was in Sima Shi, he wanted to leave the temple, and what he pursued was the kind of life advocated by the Seven Sages, that is, hiding in the mountains and forests as a hermit.

This is also because Zheng Chong is cautious, and he is unwilling to participate in the battle in the temple.

Many times he can't help himself, and he can only be an invisible person, living in seclusion in the temple.

Finally, in the future, I am no longer the mastermind, I am no longer a pillar, and I can go back and do something I am willing to do.

Isn't that great?

Zheng Chong was ready to leave, but when the ministers came to invite him and said that he would go with him, Zheng Chong thought about it and decided to go one last time before leaving.

However, most of the people who come here are from the family of the temple.

None of the ministers sent by the emperor came.

None of the ministers of Shangshutai came except Xun Yi.

Because the rest of the ministers were all from the emperor's faction, these people were personally selected by Cao Chao, and they were not very willing to mix with people like He Zeng.

And except for Shang Shutai, such as Huabiao, and Zhang Hua and other ministers did not come.

The same is true of them.

On the contrary, it is the family faction headed by Xun Yi, and almost all of them have arrived.

And the top few emperors' henchmen and important ministers, of course, could not come, such as Wang Su, Wang Chang, Sima Zhao, Zhuge Dan and others.

He Zeng looked at the ministers in front of him, and his face was filled with a happy smile.

Obviously, although his position was personally appointed by the emperor, he was not recognized by the emperor's faction.

After all, the emperor faction is not so easy to enter, either to show a firm position, or to show enough credit, or to show talent or morality.

Even Xun Miao failed to join this faction, let alone He Zeng.

But He didn't care about this, he just looked at the few people standing among the ministers, and at this moment, they all seemed to be shining with dazzling light.

"Congratulations to He Gong."

Xun Yi looked a little reluctant.

Although Xun Yi was a veritable family leader, he still hoped to get the third public position, and originally thought that he would be able to go up after Zheng Chong left.

He didn't expect that He Zeng would intervene.

Xun Yi didn't want to come, but for the benefit of his faction, he still appeared here.

He Zeng is a very famous person, and his qualifications are also old, and now he is the third prince.

In today's three kilometers, none of them are from the family, and each of them is the emperor's henchmen.

The original Zheng Chong could barely be regarded as their person, but now He Zeng is not accommodated by the emperor faction, and Xun Yi also wants to pull him into his own faction and come with himself to fight against the emperor faction.

Therefore, Xun Yi can only compromise and take the initiative to come.

But after he bowed and greeted, He Zeng's reaction was very cold, he just nodded, and looked at the minister on the side.

Xun Yi was a little angry about this, and he felt humiliated.

But he couldn't turn away.

"Hahaha, He Gong, with you as the third prince, why worry about the big thing?"

At this moment, the servant Tao Qiuyi talked to He Zeng very enthusiastically.

Tao Qiu's surname is Tao Qiu, and the other is his name.

He is of the same clan as the famous man Tao Qiuhong in the past.

His background is not too prominent, but it is not too low, and he doesn't like to participate in fights on weekdays, and he is always a very restrained and calm person.

However, he agreed with Wang Xiang's theory

Tao Qiuyi's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and He Zeng laughed.

"You're right, with you here, why worry about big things?"

He Zeng talked to them, and many people participated in their conversation.

Xun Yi was completely left out in the cold, and several times he put down his body and wanted to listen, but he was pulled away by others and deliberately talked about other topics.

Xun Yi felt a little strange.

How do these people seem so familiar?

I don't see much of them on weekdays, do you?

Could it be that they have formed an alliance a long time ago, and they kicked themselves out with He Zeng as the leader??

Xun Yi was shocked at the moment.

Xun Yi's strength comes from his clan and relatives, Xun Yi's clan is extremely large, and he can be regarded as one of the few big clans that can keep up with the Sima family, and their relatives are also very many.

Chen Tai is a relative of Xun Yi, Zhong Hui is a relative of Xun Yi, Wang Chang is a relative of Xun Yi, and Biqiu Jian is a relative of Xun Yi Well, yes, Biqiu Jian is also one of Xun Yi's relatives.

Biqiudian married Xunyi's daughter Xun, Xun Yi is the middle father of Biqiudian's eight classics, and after the defeat of Biqiujian in history, Xun Yi was almost arrested together.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Soon, the banquet began.

He Zeng sat on the top seat and looked at everyone with a smile.

After the musician played the music, He Zeng asked them all to leave, and then cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't have any talent, but I got the grace of His Majesty and became the third duke."

"It's something I didn't think of before."

"Thinking of my crippled strategy and unsuccessful political achievements, I should not be able to rank among the three princes and become the head of the ministers, but since Your Majesty believes in me and gives me such a gift, then I can't refuse."

"I think, since I have become the third duke, I must do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness and die for Your Majesty!"

He Zeng's words were recognized by the ministers, and everyone nodded with a smile.

He Zeng clapped his hands at this time, and suddenly, a lot of armor soldiers broke in from outside, these people were armed with strong crossbows, and directly controlled the entire banquet.

In an instant, there was a commotion in the mansion, and the ministers looked at those armor soldiers in astonishment, looking at the strong crossbows in their hands, and they were at a loss.

"He Gong?! What are you going to do?! ”

Xun Yi immediately stood up and asked loudly.

He Zeng waved his hand, "Don't panic, here's the thing. ”

"I heard that the servant Tao Qiuyi made up the matter of Xiangrui in Xuchang, wanted to coax His Majesty to go to Xuchang, secretly attacked, and wanted to support King Qi as the emperor I can serve as the third duke this time, it is because I informed Your Majesty of this matter in time, foiled their conspiracy, and arrested the traitor who went to forge Xiangrui."

As soon as He Zeng's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar again.

Xun Yi looked at Tao Qiuyi in disbelief.

At this moment, Tao Qiu's eyes were first stunned, and then angry.

He stood up abruptly, "What a day! You shameless dog thief."

Before he could finish his sentence, the armor soldier rushed up and pressed him to the ground.

He Zeng turned a blind eye to his words, and then looked at those people, and the armor soldiers immediately went out, and several more ministers were dragged out, and then they were tied up.

He Zeng shook his head, "The one who rebels is the dog thief." ”

"Your Majesty is the Holy King, since he was in power, he has rectified the rule of officials, pacified the people, rewarded the armor, defeated Shu Wu in a row, and captured the battle, and you turned a blind eye to this, and dared to collude with the Shu State and wanted to murder the king, how shameless is this? 1”

"You dog thief!!"

Tao Qiu roared.

He Zeng looked at the people around him.

"There are many people involved in this matter, and it is really chilling that these people dare to do such a disobedient thing without caring about the common people in the world."

"Especially the thief leader Tao Qiuyi, after the famous family, the family of the official eunuch, but to do such a disloyal, filial piety and unkind thing, I have to replace your ancestors to teach you a lesson today!"

"Come on, take this guy naked, bring him to the middle, and beat me!!"

He Zeng gave an order, and immediately a soldier came up and took off Tao Qiuyi's clothes, Tao Qiu was furious, and resisted to the death, but he was no match for these armorers, and was soon stripped of his clothes and thrown in the middle in a very humiliating way, and then a soldier with a wooden stick in his hand began to beat him.

Seeing this situation, the ministers suddenly couldn't sit still.

"He Gong! Even if he is a thief, he will not dare to humiliate like this, but he should be examined according to the law, and he should be dealt with by me."

Cui Zan immediately stood up.

It's not that he is in the same party as Na Taoqiu, he just can't get used to He Zeng's behavior towards scholars like this, that is, the ten permanent servants will not humiliate a scholar like this, if he makes a mistake, kill it, why bother?

He Zeng looked at him coldly, and then said: "This person sympathizes with the anti-thief, maybe he is the same party of the anti-thief, and he will be taken down together!" ”

The armor immediately rushed out, and Cui Zan was shocked.

"He Zeng?! How dare you? I'm Captain Ting!! ”

"I'm Sikong, I suspect that you have a crime, you are a crime, if you dare to say more, it's like this Tao Qiuyi!"

At this moment, Cui Zan didn't dare to say more.

At his age, if he suffers such humiliation again, he will really have no face to live.

As soon as Tao Qiu was pressed to the ground, the wooden stick kept hitting his body, each time he used all his strength, at first, Tao Qiu Yi could still curse a few words, but gradually, he did not move, lying on the ground, without any reaction.

Xun Yi wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak.

He Zeng is crazy, even Cui Zan dares to arrest him, he won't be arrested if he opens his mouth, right?

Finally, a minister still spoke, "He Gong, if you fight again, the person will die."

He Zeng just looked at it coldly, without any words.

The ministers were terrified, and they suddenly understood that He Zeng's purpose was to kill Tao Qiuyi.

Tao Qiuyi was still being beaten, and the ministers were now sure that he was dead, and his body had been beaten to the point that he was a little inhuman, and the ministers couldn't even stand it, their faces were pale, and they wanted to escape.

I don't know how long it took to fight, He Zeng finally let the armorer stop.

Those armor soldiers were out of breath, and they had no strength.

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

He Zeng said: "Next"

At this moment, Xun Yi understood that it was impossible for him to win over He Zeng, this person did not belong to the emperor's faction, nor did he belong to the family faction, he opened up a new faction.

Mad Dog Pie.
