Prime Minister

Chapter 886
In front of Xuande Gate, Lu Huiqing, who was wearing a legal uniform, witnessed Zhang Yue dragging Wang Zhongzheng to get off the car.

Although Wang Zhongzheng was an eunuch, he was known for his courage. During the Qingli Palace Mutiny, Wang Zhongzheng even shot and killed one of the rebels.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue forcibly dragged him out of the car in front of all the officials.

The officials present stared at this scene dumbfounded. When Lu Huiqing mentioned Wang Zhongzheng to Zhang Yue, it was to sell a favor, and the second was to see how Zhang Yue would deal with it.

Now he finally realized it.

He thought that Zhang Yue would arrange someone to impeach Wang Zhongzheng, but he didn't expect that the other party would come forward.

When Zhang Yue raised Yuan An to reprimand Zhao Tan, Lu Huiqing thought of this allusion, and thought that Zhang Yue handled the matter decisively and beautifully.

Zhao Tan was also the eunuch favored by Emperor Hanwen. When he was in the same car with Emperor Wenwen, he was scolded by Yuan An in front of the emperor, and Zhao Tan was forced to get out of the car with tears in his eyes.

This is superficial. If you are familiar with history books, you will know that there is a deeper story. Zhao Tan didn't like Yuan An, and had slandered him several times in front of Emperor Wen of Han.

Yuan An was very worried when he knew about it. Later, Yuan An's nephew Yuan Zhong told Yuan An that if you want to deal with a villain like Zhao Tan, you must reprimand him in front of the emperor and let the emperor know that there is a festival between you. The emperor didn't believe it.

Therefore, Zhang Yue used Yuan An's method to do the same to Wang Zhongzheng, who slandered the emperor.

This kind of method to deal with slandering villains by the emperor's side must be done by those who have the courage and courage.

Wang Zhongzheng sat paralyzed for a while, and the people on the left and right deliberately pretended not to see it. Several servants wanted to go forward to help, but they were stopped by several civil servants and scolded: "Your Majesty, please don't walk around in disorder."

After the emperor's car and guard of honor had passed, two servants helped him up and patted the dust off his body.

The eunuch on the side led the horse for him, and served him with the saddle and the stirrup.Wang Zhongzheng cast a vicious glance at Zhang Yuehan, who was going away to salute his royal driver, and smiled, "Zhang Duanming, our family has learned the lesson today."

After Wang Zhongzheng finished speaking and wanted to get on the horse, Zhang Yue said: "Everyone knows, the officials are driving you, and you can chase after them quickly? What's the point of making such noise?"

Wang Zhongzheng was so angry that he almost missed the stirrup. He was so angry that he said at this moment, "I want to teach you, don't fall into our hands in the future!"

It's really stupid... Zhang Yue said: "Wang Du knows, you should be careful not to fall off the car or the horse."

Wang Zhongzheng thought to himself, a hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and it will not be too late to take revenge in the future, so he rode away immediately.

At this time, Zhang Yue openly reprimanded Wang Zhongzheng, and the entire civil servants shared the same hatred. Civil servants and eunuchs are two systems, and they are naturally hostile.

But the eunuchs were more attached to the imperial power, so the civil servants took it as pure practice to belittle the eunuchs openly.

Officials from the two systems gathered beside Zhang Yue, Zeng Bu said worriedly, "Duanming, this Wang Zhongzheng is serving the emperor day and night, you have to be careful that he will harm you in the future."

Lu Huiqing laughed secretly when he heard Zeng Bu's words, Zhang Yue originally wanted to avenge his own private revenge, and Wang Zhongzheng had already done him a disservice.

Zhang Yue said: "If you have done it, you have done it. If you can clear up a traitor for Your Majesty, even if you are caught in slander and dismissed from office, so what?"

Lu Huiqing sneered, well, once Zhang Yue said this, not only did the emperor beware of Wang Zhongzheng's slander against him, but if he dismissed from office, the civil officials would think it was Wang Zhongzheng's tricks.

At this time Cai Que said: "Just now Wang Zhongzheng is so domineering that he dares to threaten Yu Duanming. Have you ever heard that?"

Although there were many officials present, not many heard Wang Zhongzheng's last sentence just now when the army was in chaos.

Zhang Yue asked Deng Wan, "Did Zhong Cheng hear that?"

Deng Wan did hear this sentence, but he was afraid of offending Wang Zhongzheng and immediately separated the relationship: "I didn't hear clearly just now..."

"Oh?" Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to support Deng Wan's arm. Deng Wan just came to visit Zhang Yue a few days ago, and she was very humble.The person who only asked for it a few days ago, but now he turns his face and refuses to recognize him, this is too much of a change.

At this moment Deng Wan saw Zhang Yue's eyes and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

But Deng Wan has long regarded affection as nothing, and his way of being an official is to be wise and protect himself: "... If there is really something Cai Yushi said, let's find out the truth... But I think maybe Wang Zhongzheng's words are angry?"

"Angry words? How can there be words of anger in the officialdom?"

Cai Que pressed Deng Wan as if he was fighting an injustice.

Zeng Bu also chimed in and said, "Zhongcheng should think twice about what he says."

"Has Zhongcheng heard Wang Zhongzheng's words?"

The rest of the officials also spoke out.

Deng Wan glanced at Lu Huiqing as if begging for help. Lu Huiqing didn't hear what Wang Zhongzheng said just now, but he also knew that Zhang Yue used power to force people, and Deng Wan was already riding a tiger.

Cai Que and Zeng Budu stood beside Zhang Yue with a clear-cut banner.As for the prime ministers on the side, they watched all this silently, without saying a word, as if they were letting Zhang Yue and the others to toss about, maintaining a neutral expression with ambiguous expressions.

Han Jiang and Wu Chong didn't make a sound, and Lu Huiqing also pretended not to see, ignoring Deng Wan's eyes calling for help.

Deng Wan saw that Lu Huiqing didn't give him hints, so she insisted that she didn't hear it.All the officials were extremely indignant that Deng Wan, as the dignified censor Zhongcheng, dared to open his eyes and speak nonsense.

Cai Que said loudly: "Do you guys know how domineering Wang Zhongzheng really is? Not only did you threaten the scholars of the palace, but even Yushi Zhongcheng pretended to be deaf and dumb. Is the eunuch's monopoly in the Tang Dynasty going to happen again?"

Cai did not say anything, but all the officials also thought of it by coincidence. In the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs killed ministers like grass, and the emperor would change them whenever he wanted. This is a lesson from the past.

Lu Huiqing suddenly realized that Zhang Yue didn't even think about Deng Wan being able to preside over the matter, but wanted to make things bigger, and the bigger the things were, the better it would be for him.

Looking at Cai Que, who was blushing and questioning Deng Wan, and Zhang Yue, who stood silently beside him, he nodded slightly, and the two stood together.

When Liu Xiang first learned about Kaifeng Mansion, Cai Que blatantly embarrassed the other party when he attended the court, forcing him to resign from the position of knowing Kaifeng Mansion. This is really the same as the method used to deal with Wang Zhongzheng today.

Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue and Cai, two fellow countrymen, it was really scary for these two to join forces.He once again made up his mind that if he was not [-]% sure, he would not make things difficult for Zhang Yue.

Fortunately, he pushed Wang Zhongzheng to block the knife for himself.

……

After the grand ceremony in the southern suburbs, Wang Zhongzheng felt that every civil servant who met him gave him a first-class look.

Even when a young official passed by him, not only did he not salute him, but he even spat on the ground after passing by.

Wang Zhongzheng was furious, as the vice-in-commissioner, he knew that several ministers were polite and respectful when they saw him, how could even the junior officials dare to be rude to him now.

It was all because Zhang Yue insulted himself that day.

Wang Zhongzheng came to the official's house, lowered his head and sat down respectfully.The official corrected the letter and said to him: "The foreign court has been talking about you a lot these days, so you don't have to be wronged. If you work for me, it is inevitable that the civil servants will talk."

Wang Zhongzheng wept gratefully and said: "Your Majesty has learned from you... I am not afraid of talking, I just want your Majesty to be happy."

The official sighed: "I understand, but I am the emperor, and I have to put on an appearance of accepting advice. Now the foreign courts say that you will slander and murder ministers when you are by my side, and the civil servants below are worried. Refuse to use your heart.”

"How about wronging you to go to Shaanxi and exchange Li Xian?"

"Your Majesty..." Wang Zhongzheng collapsed on the ground when he heard the words.
