Song Qinzong thought for a long time and said: "I sometimes want to ask for advice in the morning and evening, if Ye Aiqing is not feeling well, just like Li Xiang and Chong Shuai, let's recuperate at home." ”

Ye Mengde reluctantly agreed, he didn't want to retreat bravely, and he didn't plan to take refuge in Zhao Kai now, but the situation in Bianliang and the court was too tense; it was clear that Song Qinzong was going to destroy Cai Jing soon, Ye Mengde didn't want to harm the pond fish, and he would be remembered by those imperial historians when the time came, but Song Qinzong said so, Ye Mengde couldn't help but agree, could he be better than Li Bangyan and Breeder?

Song Qinzong said to Zheng Wangzhi again: "Lord Zheng, if you go to Runzhou, you must explain the pros and cons to the Emperor Taishang." ”

Zheng Wangzhi felt bitter in his heart, the royal affairs really can't be involved at will, Gao Shi is a clan, he raised objections and didn't do anything, he just seconded the proposal, but he was sent to Runzhou;

After Zheng Wangzhi retired from the court, he immediately went to Gaotou Street in the southeast of the imperial city, prepared gifts and came to King Jing's mansion, King Jing Zhao Qi is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Zheng, if you want to take a shortcut, Zheng Wangzhi can only take the road of King Jing; ”

King Jing Zhao Qi had something to say, Zheng Wangzhi smiled embarrassedly: "The prince is a person who understands, and the lower officials have always been unable to do it; Who would have thought that the Jin army would retreat, and today it is even more embarrassing to encounter another incident in the DPRK. ”

King Jing Zhao Qi took Zheng Wangzhi to the living room and said with a smile: "This king has heard about it, and he dares to point fingers at the royal affairs, which bastard's proposal." ”

King Jing Zhao Qi didn't really get angry, so Zheng Wangzhi was a little relieved, the two walked to the inner hall together while talking, King Jing's Mansion had prepared a table of wine and food; Zheng Wangzhi secretly thought in his heart, whether it was the prince, everything could be expected in advance, I am afraid that when he bought a gift, King Jing had already discussed all the steps with his subordinates. King Jing Zhao Qi let Zheng Wangzhi sit on the guest seat, arched his hand and said, "Lord Zheng, let's talk while drinking, let's talk, what's the matter?"

Zheng Wangzhi smiled embarrassedly: "The prince is gracious, the lower officials dare not prevaricate, this was originally a matter discussed by Zheng Xiunian and Geng Nanzhong and Gao Taiwei, and the lower officials had to come forward." ”

Zheng Wangzhi is Zhang Bangchang's person, and now that Zhang Bangchang has been taken away by Wanyan Zongfu as a hostage, Zheng Wangzhi has befriended Geng Nanzhong; King Jing Zhao Qi has a clear heart, and when he saw Zheng Wangzhi's face was unnatural, he smiled and said: "I understand that Gao Taiwei and Zheng Xiunian are both smart people. ”

When Zheng Wangzhi heard this, he was a little disappointed, and he smiled on his face: "It's just that this suggestion makes some sense." ”

King Jing Zhao Qi saw that he deliberately contradicted his words, he was very annoyed, and he thought about it with his wine glass: "The matter of Yang Zhi and the third brother, the court thinks that it is very annoyed, but what about the other accomplices, since it is in accordance with the law, the temples impeach themselves, and Lord Zheng ...... meaning."

This means to catch them all, Zheng Wangzhi gently put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, such a thing must have been arranged by the saint, and the next official is to go to Runzhou." ”

Unwilling to contribute if he wanted benefits, King Jing Zhao Qi frowned and said: "Lord Zheng must know that this matter is very involved, according to my understanding of the eighth sister, she will never agree to dissolve the marriage contract." Let me ask you, what are you going to do if something happens to the Xiuzhou salt factory? It is said that I know that there is no stable income in the household department at present. ”

Zheng Wangzhi was shocked, Xiuzhou Salt Farm and Zhao Kai's brother and sister's business name is to give the imperial court more than 100,000 taels of silver a year, if something goes wrong, it will definitely cause a chain reaction, Zheng Wangzhi understands what Zhao Qi wants, Zhao Qi wants the salt farm business in the hands of Zhao Kai and Zhao Yingluo, but Zheng Wangzhi not only has no ability to agree, but also dare not agree, Zheng Wangzhi said: "Lord, some things are the affairs of the household department and Kaifeng Mansion?"

King Jing Zhao Qi smiled, toasted Zheng Wangyi with a glass of wine and said: "You see, some things are not good just to feel uneven, and it is difficult to avoid being a courtier, otherwise how can you go up to the king and the people from the bottom?"

Zheng Wangzhi was ridiculed by King Jing Zhao Qi, and he didn't dare to attack, the more he drank a meal, the more he was in no mood, and after a while, he felt uncomfortable, and left in the name of being too strong to drink. King Jing Zhao Qi didn't blame, sent to the second hall with a smile, watched Zheng Wangzhi walk down the steps and out of the front yard door, and said to Song Gongming who came over: "The third brother's Yu Wei is still there, and he doesn't dare to move one by one." ”

"Geng Nanzhong and they understand that King Yun's side is as master as a cloud, and now they don't dare to play yin, if they completely turn their faces, people like Zheng Wangzhi may not live for a few days, and they don't need to send killers, just turn out what he has done before. Song Gongming also has this ability, but King Jing Zhao Qi hesitated, Zhao Qi did not dare to be like Zhao Kai, the carriage and horse cannon pulled out and Song Qinzong to do it, it seems that he occupies the right time and place, in fact, he is likely to miss the opportunity, Song Gongming said in a deep voice: "Prince, there must be a reason why the Emperor Taishang does not come back, the prince might as well propose to visit the Emperor Taishang and leave Bianliang, the place of right and wrong." ”

King Jing turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Gongming, what have you thought of?"

Song Gongming nodded and said: "If Hebei is really lost, and the king of Yun goes south to Guanzhong, does the prince think that Tong Guan and the others will not move?" I think the emperor also knows this, and now Chen Dong and others are angry, so Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others are about to die, and they will be thrown out as scapegoats for the defeat of Bianjing this time." ”

This statement Zhao Qixin, the siege of Taiyuan was lifted, so that several prime ministers of the imperial court in the eyes of the scholars and the common people prestige was discredited, and the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Bianliang can't even raise their heads now, which is also the Taiwei Gao Yu is thick-skinned, and another person would have resigned a long time ago. Taking Tong Guan and Cai Jing is undoubtedly a good move, which can calm a little of the people's grievances, and it is also the main support for Song Huizong to lose.

Zhao Qi asked with a little regret: "Is it true that we can't do anything?"

Song Gongming said calmly: "If we stand on the side of the emperor, we will offend the emperor, and if we stand on the side of Cai Jing, we will definitely make the emperor angry, so we can only stay out of the matter." Ye Mengde's request to return to his hometown is an obvious example, but big trees like Cai Jing and Tong Guan have fallen, I don't know how many monkeys are running around, people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to grievances and grievances, if the prince is interested, it is a good opportunity to recruit people. ”
