......

In the end, he made concessions this time and promised that Jinyiwei would not continue to suppress the East Factory.

And Sun Yunhe gave Jinyiwei 30,000 taels of silver, and the two sides reached a settlement.

Zhang Zheng is too lazy to quarrel with Wei Zhongxian, and when he starts spring next year, when Chongzhen takes the throne, none of these people can escape.

......

In front of the vermilion purple gate, he and Sun Yunhe came out side by side, their faces expressionless, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yunhe's mouth.

"Thank you for your generosity, and I thank you again. The director of the East Factory thought that with Wei Zhongxian's support, he would be able to be unscrupulous, but he didn't know that his death was approaching.

Zhang Zheng didn't want to deal with a dying person, so he said: "Director Sun should be good, don't have an accident, Zheng Zhangban has gone, if you die again, Dongchang will be disbanded." ”

After finishing speaking, he took his saber and rode his war horse into the snow.

Sun Yunhe stood there with a gloomy face, motionless.

Naked threats

Sun Yunhe was angry, but helpless.

......

After Zhang Zheng went back, he asked Shen Lian to withdraw the brocade guards outside the East Factory.

The outside is tight and the inside is loose, and secretly, a large number of Jinyi Wei masters were dropped into the capital.

It's just that Wei Zhongxian didn't know all this, he was still dreaming of being nine thousand years old.

......

The winter snow stretches, the north wind roars, the capital is covered with white snow for three hundred miles, and as far as the eye can see, the mountain dances the silver snake, and the original Chi wax elephant.

Heavy snow closed the road, Nurhachi's army withdrew to Shanhaiguan, and the Ming army, under the leadership of Xiong Tingbi, garrisoned the city and strictly guarded the defense line, bringing a peaceful winter to the north.

Giving up and suppressing Dongchang was just a bait thrown by Zhang Zheng, what he wanted to do was to completely integrate the forces under King Xin, and then transfer the thousand killers he had secretly cultivated back to Jingshi.

Once the apocalypse dies and Chongzhen ascends to power, he must eliminate Wei Zhongxian's henchmen with lightning speed and let Chongzhen take power.

This thousand killers are the hole cards.

......

The weather is getting colder, Zhang Zheng stays in the mansion every day and makes an appointment with Lu Wan, the affairs of Jinyiwei are handled by Shen Lian, and King Xin's subordinates have Yang Lian to help him, so he will be a shopkeeper.

......

"Whew, it's cold". As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a cold air, even if he was wearing a thick mink coat, there were long ice cubes hanging on the eaves, and the two evergreen trees in the yard were full of ice crystals, which was very beautiful.

"Smack"

He breathed in a breath of cold air, his body was cold, and he quickly closed the door.

"Hehe", he laughed dryly, came behind Lu Wanyue, and touched a warm place along the mink fur with his big hand, which made the beautiful woman coquettish.

"It's dead, it's not in shape. Lu Wan glanced at him, then turned her head to lean on his shoulder.

It's a pity that this heartwarming scene didn't last long before it was broken.

"Young master, there is an old man surnamed Yang outside the door who asks to see you. Uncle Wang knocked on the door.

"Yang Lian, what is he doing here? It's a cold day. Zhang Zheng muttered twice dissatisfiedly.

"The old gentleman braved the wind and snow to see you, are you still not happy?"

Lu Wanyue got up from his arms and took out the flying fish suit and cloak from the back closet and put them on for him.

"Yang Gong won't come to you if it's okay, go quickly. She reminded.

......

Zhang Zheng just complained verbally, but hurried to the front yard hall.

When he arrived, Yang Lian was already sitting, and after Uncle Wang finished serving tea, he was adding carbon fire to the iron basin in the hall.

......

"Huhu" he rubbed his hands and asked, "Why did your old man come to me so freely?" ”

Yang Lian took the cloak, the carbon fire was burning, the temperature in the hall rose, and he didn't feel cold.

"You kid don't want me to come. Yang Lian curled his beard and scolded with a smile.

Between the two, they want to forget the New Year's friendship, so that there will be no estrangement because of two sentences.

Zhang Zheng coughed lightly, and said with a serious face: "It's not that I'm afraid that your old man's body can't keep the wind and cold, what's the matter, you tell someone to know, I'll go see your old man." ”

"Little slippery head. ”

One old and one young chatted a few more words, all of which were about inconsequential little things.

......

After a stick of incense, the tea in his cup was cold, and Zhang Zheng called Uncle Wang to add some hot water.

"Yang Gong, are you always in trouble?" After Uncle Wang left, there were only the two of them in the hall, and he turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm" Yang Lian responded, and the old man looked at him with a serious face and said, "Boy, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

"What's next?" he said, confused.

Yang Lian smiled bitterly and paused before continuing: "If the move fails, what should you do? If the move succeeds and King Xin ascends the throne, what should you do?"

"Don't tell me you haven't thought about it. The old man looked incredulous.

He really didn't think about it, what he had been thinking about was how to eradicate Wei Zhongxian as quickly as possible, and then support Chongzhen to complete the task.

Now that Yang Lian mentioned it, he realized that he had not thought it through.

"Boy, if you fail, you can only flee, and Daming will have no place for you. ”

"Even if you kill Wei Zhongxian and King Xin ascends the throne, you can't continue to stay in the court. ”

"Zhu Youzhen, in my opinion, is not a virtuous person, if it is done and he has the power in the world, you are the first person he wants to kill. ”

Yang Lian said earnestly: "There is still time at this time, you had better choose a way out." ”

Zhang Zheng knew that what Yang Lian said was not wrong at all, throughout the five thousand years, there were countless cases of unloading and killing donkeys.

As for Zhu Youzhen, although Chongzhen was not a faint monarch in later generations, he was not an emperor who could treat his courtiers favorably.

Maybe, as soon as he helped him ascend the throne and eradicate Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen was going to cut him.

The power of the Jinyi Guard is too huge, and no one can control it except him, and what emperor would tolerate such an uncontrolled force.

"Thank you Yang Gong for the point. He respectfully hugged his fists.

At this time, Zhang Zheng even had a little bit of happiness in his heart, if something happened in the end, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

"Now I know what to do. Yang Lian said with a smile.

"Got it. ”

"Alas" the old man sighed: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, I am also old, and after King Xin ascends the throne, I will retire to the mountains and forests." ”

"Why don't you go to Fuzhou and be a companion with the master?" Zhang Zheng suggested.

The old man was quite moved, he and Old Man Qi were close friends, and it was also a wonderful thing to be able to drink tea together after retiring.

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll have someone pick you up when the time comes. ”

"Wanyu, where the food should be ready, Yang Gong will have a meal at the house and then go back." ”

......

In the evening, Zhang Zhengcai sent someone to send Yang Lian to the Xinwang Mansion, and in the following time, he was busy preparing for a retreat.

......

He chose an island hundreds of miles from the east coast, the location is secret, surrounded by fog all year round, almost no one knows, and he also sent a large number of people out to sea to find it.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, he took Lu Wan to Fuzhou in the name of visiting relatives, and then took everyone to the island in person.

The forest is verdant and the terrain is wide, which is a good place to retreat.

He left Lu Wanyue in Fuzhou, and left three hundred loyal dead soldiers to protect her safety.

Whether it succeeds or not, these dead men will escort her to the island.

By the time Zhang Zheng returned to Beijing, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, and three days later, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would take a boat trip in Xiyuan.

It's a matter of success or failure.
