After the emperor got the news of He Jin in the imperial study, he was shocked.

At this moment, he already understood.

I'm afraid that from the beginning, Zhang Rang was not sure that there was a problem with the Sima family.

Therefore, Zhang Rang didn't want to investigate the case at all.

All Zhang Rang needed was an imperial order.

As long as you have your own orders, you can use your own banner, and then find a way to kill all the Sima family, leaving no one behind.

The next day, above the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

After the ministers finished meeting the emperor, Zhang Rang stood up, "Back to my emperor, Weichen was ordered to investigate the Sima family's defection to the enemy and treason, the evidence is conclusive, and six hundred and forty-three people have signed and drawn the pledge, proving that the Sima family has defected to Xishu." In addition, three letters were found between the Sima family and Xishu. Most of the remaining letters were burned by Sima Fengyi, and some important physical evidence was taken away by Sima Fengyi's nephew, Sima Baiyue. The man was fleeing westward. Wechen is sending people to chase and kill with all his might. ”

Yesterday's events are already known to many ministers in the court.

But when I heard this at the moment, I was still a little shocked.

The Emperor already knew everything, and he figured out the key.

At this moment, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, obviously he was the Son of Heaven and the person who owned the whole world, but now he felt powerless that he had never felt before.

I thought I could rely on the Sima family to fight against Prime Minister Cao.

is just a person in the rivers and lakes under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and he can't deal with it himself.

After a helpless sigh, there was a long silence.

After a moment, the emperor slowly raised his head and glanced at Zhang Rang.

"Zhang Rang, I remember that I wanted to give you the title of marquis, but I haven't sealed it yet, right?"

"Yes. ”

"I remember it's the Tianshui County people, right?"

"Yes. Zhang Rang didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked him about this.

"Last time, I made a great contribution in the north, and this time I eradicated the undercover agents of Xishu in the imperial court. Zhang Aiqing has made great contributions. It's better to ...... like this."

The emperor said, looking at Zhang Rang in the main hall.

"Zhang Rang opened up the territory for my Han Dynasty, eradicated the traitors, and sealed the Qingguo Gong. Longxi, Tianshui, Lintao, and Wujun were taken as Zhang Aiqing's fiefdoms, and he commanded the soldiers and horses of the four regions, and suppressed the rivers and lakes of the four counties. I also hope that the Duke of Qingguo can pacify Xishu as soon as possible, and don't let some scum among the Han clan split my Han. ”

Zhang Rang never expected that the emperor had refused to reward him before.

But now not only has he changed from the original marquis to a duke, but he has also rewarded himself with four counties as fiefs.

But Zhang Rang immediately reacted to one thing.

The Sima family was a force that the emperor had personally cultivated to fight against Prime Minister Cao.

Now that he has destroyed the Sima family, either the emperor has admitted it and curried favor with Prime Minister Cao Cheng through his reward.

Another possibility is to try to deal with yourself.

Therefore, if the land of the four counties in the west is not an excellent place to go, it will inevitably be in trouble.

It's a pity that I didn't know much about those four places before.

"Emperor Xie. ”

But now, Zhang Rang can only thank him and accept these rewards.

"By the way, I heard Prime Minister Cao Cheng say that he has a righteous daughter and wants to marry you. I don't know what happens to the Qingguo Gong? If the Qingguo Gong is willing, then I will give the marriage immediately!"

Zhang Rang never expected that the last time the emperor didn't agree, this time he agreed.

But just when Zhang Rang was about to thank him, he heard a loud voice from outside the hall.

"Wait!"

In the next moment, a figure flashed in from outside the main hall.

That's right, the other party didn't rush in, nor did he walk in, but flashed in.

Even Zhang Rang only saw the other party's figure flash, and then entered the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, next to Zhang Rang, an old man dressed in coarse linen appeared.

The old man glanced at Zhang Rang, seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Rang, and then clasped his fists towards the emperor.

"Wujun Tong Tianguan Caomin Tong Yuan, meet Your Majesty. ”

The emperor was a little confused.

Suddenly, a grass man appeared in the main hall.

However, the emperor was not stupid, he immediately analyzed from the face of the nervous military general next to him that this person must be a peerless master.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the main hall all at once.

But I really don't know who the name Tong Yuan is.

The emperor didn't know, but many of the generals in the main hall were already shocked.

The people of the rivers and lakes are known as the Penglai Gun God, who once challenged countless masters in the rivers and lakes with a gun, and is known as the first in the way of the gun.

In the troubled times, many people in the rivers and lakes will choose knives and guns as their blades.

Because weapons such as knives and guns can be used in the rivers and lakes, and they can also be used in battle to kill the enemy.

If you have the opportunity to join the army, you don't need to change weapons.

Therefore, among the rivers and lakes, there are not a few people who use guns.

But Tong Yuan was able to become the number one in the way of the gun, which shows how strong this person's strength is.

After hearing this name, Zhang Rang also thought about it, and then simply used his card ability.

At this look, Zhang Rangcai suddenly remembered that this person was the Penglai spear prodigy Yuan of the Six Dao Realm.

The emperor nodded towards Tong Yuan, "I don't know what happened when Mr. Tong came to see me?"

Tong Yuan clasped his fist towards the emperor, "More than ten years ago, my son was assassinated, and the only granddaughter in the family was lost. For more than a decade, the grass people have been looking for their granddaughter, but they have never found her whereabouts. Recently, Master Sima Fengyi wrote a letter to Caomin, informing him that he had found a daughter in Xuchang City, who was very similar to my granddaughter's characteristics. ”

Tong Yuan said, taking out a sheepskin picture from his arms.

"Your Majesty, this is the longevity lock that the grass people created for the grandchild Yuxiu when she was born. ”

Seeing the pattern on the parchment map, Zhang Rang's heart was shocked.

Because this longevity lock is the longevity lock that Tong Lock has worn on his body since he was a child.

Tong Yuan continued: "The granddaughter of the grass people is now the righteous daughter of Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Thank you Prime Minister Cao Cheng for taking care of her over the years, but after all, she is the granddaughter of the grass people, and I hope that the emperor will order the grass people to reunite their families. ”

Tong Yuan said, glancing at Zhang Rang next to him.

Obviously, Tong Yuan knew that the emperor was going to give marriage and marry his granddaughter to Zhang Rang, so he was naturally unwilling.

What is Zhang Rang's reputation in the rivers and lakes, Rao is Tong Yuan has not walked in the rivers and lakes for many years, but he also knows that Zhang Rang's reputation is extremely bad.

If Prime Minister Cao's righteous daughter is really his granddaughter, he can't let his granddaughter go into the fire pit.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng on the side frowned, stood up and arched his hand towards the emperor, and glanced at Tong Yuan again.

"Tong Yuan is a senior, but my righteous daughter's name is Tong Suo, not Tong Yuxiu. And, to tell you the truth, the reason why I would take her as a righteous daughter. is because of Zhang Rang, because she has been Zhang Rang's child daughter-in-law since she was a child. Now, Tong Yuan's predecessors came to ask for it, I am not my biological father, although I have a father-daughter relationship for a few years, it is difficult to give up, but I am also willing to be an adult. It's just that the emperor has just given him a marriage, and it just so happens that Zhang Rang was named the Duke of Qingguo, and Wujun will be Zhang Rang's fief in the future. Just so that the two of them can go to the fiefdom, and they can get together with Tong seniors a lot at that time. ”

Tong Yuan snorted coldly, "How can the granddaughter of my Tong family marry Zhang Rangzhi and the like!
