Chapter 943 Great

Changan.

A light snow is falling slowly.

The snow fell on the ground, it looked like frost, and it didn't take long to melt.

The ground was therefore a little wet and extremely cold.

"Falling snow is not cold, melting snow is cold."

Zhang Dongqing, a talented woman from Chang'an, is still unmarried.

"Holly, go home and sleep!"

The girl who was traveling with me said, "Hiding under the blanket at this time of year, holding a book in my hand, hey! I feel like the gods don't care about me."

"Let's go party!"

Zhang Dongqing said with piercing eyes: "There is a poetry meeting in Qujiang Pond today, let's go together!"

The girl shook her head, "Go home! What's the party in the cold? Isn't it just boring to have fun? But I'm not bored!"

Zhang Dongqing was startled, and the girl got on her horse, "Let's go!"

"Oh!"

Zhang Dongqing stood there, watching her go away calmly.

Da da da!
A ride came slowly.

"I have seen the king!"

King Yue looked the same.

suave.

Zhang Dongqing once met the King of Yue at a high-level party, and even presented a poem.

King Yue glanced at her with indifference.

It turned out that he couldn't remember who I was.

Zhang Dongqing was a little disappointed.

Can't help but think of Yang Xuan.

Unlike King Yue, Yang Xuan could remember her, but obviously Yang Xuan had no interest in her.

"At the beginning!"

Zhang Dongqing sighed suddenly, "Forget it, there is no such fate."

"Second brother!"

The king of Yue saw the king of Wei and rode his horse after him.

In the cold wind, King Wei's face was icy cold.

"You came just in time."

"Second brother, I..."

King Wei waved his hand fiercely.

"Be careful, king!"

The guards behind King Yue flew over.

Snapped!
King Wei slapped him, and said: "This king said, that year Ziyue has been the person I have watched since then, and whoever dares to touch her will cause trouble for this king."

King Yue covered his face and said with a wry smile, "I don't know."

"Yang Songcheng is your grandfather."

With this slap, King Wei slapped it with confidence.

The guards rushed up, King Wei squinted his eyes, "Do you want to do it?"

For some reason, King Yue recalled the sound of iron striking.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"stop!"

Bah!
A guard who was eager for performance was punched flying.

He vomited blood in mid-air and smiled wryly.

King Wei moved his wrist, "I haven't done it for a long time, it's a bit boring."

King Yue couldn't help but rein in his horse and retreat.

King Wei looked at him, "Do you remember what I said?"

King Yue nodded, "I remember."

King Wei nodded, "Good boy!"

Watching him go away, Zhao Dongping came up.

It's not that he's not loyal enough, but that he has no cultivation base, and he will only humiliate himself when he comes up.

"Your Majesty has shown weakness."

"Worried about being seen as weak?"

"Yes."

"Aye is getting more and more gloomy now, and he can't allow anyone to compete with him for power. The voices of the ministers to build a prince went up to the sky, but Aye ignored it. Why? Isn't it just worried that someone will compete with him for power? Think about it, what does Aye need? What kind of prince?"

"Be obedient, even if you have ambitions, you have to hide it. Be obedient..." Zhao Dongping smiled wryly, "Be obedient."

"Look, the second brother gave me a slap, and I just accepted it. Isn't this just resignation?" King Yue said with a smile.

"Yes! But His Majesty will feel that the king is too forbearing."

"Forbearance is the prince's instinct. Even if he changed King Jing, he would choose forbearance. Do you know why the elder brother was abolished?"

Zhao Dongping said: "Its momentum has been achieved."

Yang Songcheng had cultivated the former crown prince for many years, and had built up momentum for him for many years. If the emperor had an accident, the crown prince would ascend the throne, which could be said to be expected by all.

"No." King Yue shook his head, "It's because he doesn't want to bear it anymore."

……

It's the end of the year, and the affairs of the court meeting are mainly focused on various expenses and the outlook for next year... In fact, it is called poor.

"The Ministry of War is difficult this year, if it is the same next year..."

Zhang Huan, Minister of the Ministry of War, squinted his eyes, listening to Zheng Yuandong's angry voice echoing in the hall.

Zheng Yuandong said: "What I don't understand is that the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do, how can it get more money and food than the Ministry of War?"

Zhu Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile: "The Great Tang ruled the world with filial piety, and rites are the foundation of filial piety."

"When foreign enemies come, do you use etiquette to defend against them?" Zheng Yuandong sneered.

Zhu Wei glanced at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan lowered his eyelids and imitated Huang Chunhui.

"Irreverent, before the foreign enemies invade, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos."

Zhu Wei's words were impeccable.

"Why is there chaos in the Tang Dynasty?" Zheng Yuandong said coldly: "The people lost their land, there are countless refugees, people will plunder and kill people if they have nothing to eat... This is the source of the chaos. What is the use of etiquette at this moment?"

Zhu Wei laughed, "The Ministry of Rites can't say anything about this matter."

This topic is too big, only the emperor presides over it, and the important ministers speak, just like the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and then go to cut the flesh and blood of those with vested interests, causing domestic disputes...

Zheng Yuandong, after all, is a relative, and he is too straightforward...Zhu Wei has the bottom line in his heart, and he is not going to argue with him.

Seeing that he was defeated, Zheng Yuandong fixed his eyes on Yang Songcheng, "Dare to ask the patriarch, I heard that a sum of money and food was sent directly to southern Xinjiang without passing through our military department. Dare to ask the patriarch, is this true?"

It turned out that the reason he bared his teeth at the old man was not to compete with the Ministry of Rites for money and food, but to fight cattle across the mountain to antagonize the father... Zhu Wei smiled wryly in his heart, feeling that he was getting old.

Yang Songcheng said flatly: "I don't know."

A sentence of "I don't know" cut off the follow-up questioning.

Really spicy!
Zhu Wei watched the play with gusto, thinking what could happen to Zheng Yuandong's follow-up?

It started, but couldn't finish it, this matter, it's interesting!
Zheng Yuandong said: "Then, what does the head of state know?"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zheng Yuandong.

——I don’t know what to do, what does Yang Songcheng know?
malfeasance!

This is Zheng Yuandong's accusation.

Yang Songcheng slowly looked sideways at him with a calm expression, "What do you want to say?"

The father-in-law is angry!

Everyone's heart froze.

Zheng Yuandong smiled suddenly, and the smile was extraordinarily wanton, reminding people of his identity, Xunqi.

Xun Qi, naturally he should be angry with his clothes, and naturally he should ignore Gongqing.

Zheng Yuandong said: "Mr. Xu Guogong has no achievements in southern Xinjiang, but Chang'an's money and food continue to go south. Why?"

Southern Xinjiang is now a pool of muddy water. With the support of the emperor, Shi Zhongtang launched an attack on Zhang Chumao.

Zheng Yuandong suddenly made an attack on Zhang Chumao, the taste in it is worth pondering.

Yang Songcheng glanced at King Wei, "The southern border is not stable, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty is eyeing it like a tiger."

This is a cliché, and it is also the reason why Yang Songcheng has been partial to southern Xinjiang for a long time.

No one objected.

Zheng Yuandong said: "It's also a frontier army. Why can Northern Xinjiang, which didn't take Chang'an's money and food, suppress Northern Liao? Southern Xinjiang, which is full of food, keeps sending news of alien rebellion?"

Uh!
This is a bit of a slap in the face.

Yang Songcheng frowned, and Zheng Yuandong continued, "I think the instability in the southern border is due to the incompetence of the generals."

This man wants to flatter the emperor by attacking Zhang Chumao!
This is what most people think.

Zheng Yuandong said: "The king of Wei also frightened the aliens in the northern border. The old man thought that the king of Wei could control the southern border and suppress the aliens!"

The hall became more and more quiet.

The big guys looked at each other.

Chen Shen, Prime Minister on the left, said, "Let's go!"

Zhu Wei took a look at Zheng Yuandong and thought to himself, what is the purpose of this person suddenly standing in line for King Wei?
Where is King Wei?
King Wei strode forward, and no one could see his expression.

Zhu Wei thought of the eyeballs that got bigger and bigger when he saw the emperor last time.

Emperor, old!

Jiangshan is a deer, and this deer is about to change its owner.

Stand in line!

Zhu Wei suddenly realized that an old friend came over and said with a smile, "This is standing in line."

Zhu Wei nodded, "It's a bit early, but the old man is a little curious why he stands as King Wei."

The old friend said, "Does he have any other options?"

King Yue is Yang Songcheng's grandson, to support him is to take the initiative to worship under Yang Songcheng's sect and serve as his lackey.

There is also King Jing, who is said to be naughty.

"Too!"

After Zheng Yuandong left the imperial city, he said to the little official in a leisurely manner, "Old man, go out and have a look."

At the level of a servant, fishing is easy. If you just find an excuse, who would dare to be serious?

He wandered all the way, and entered the restaurant in a small alley.

"Is he here?"

Hu Nu nodded, "Yes."

Zheng Yuandong entered the backyard.

The weather was cold, and a small clay stove was set up under the eaves, with a clay pot on it. It was steaming hot, and as soon as I entered, I could smell the smell of meat.

"When I was a scout in northern Xinjiang, the only thing I wanted was to have a bowl of broth to drink, even if it was an animal broth that was so fishy and hard to swallow."

Zhao Sanfu stirred the broth with a spoon.

Zheng Yuandong came over, "How about Wang Shou?"

"The emperor is getting more and more dissatisfied with him."

"That's a sign of disgust."

"That's right, but the more I wait, the more I have to keep a low profile. So, recently I often go out to hang out and make some small mistakes."

"Controlling the mirror stage, the king's great cause, can only go further."

"That's right." Zhao Sanfu raised his head and said in surprise, "Why did you support King Wei today?"

"Your news is not slow." Zheng Yuandong squatted down, put his hands on the side of the small clay stove, and stretched his brows, "The emperor is old, and there have been a lot of public opinions recently about the establishment of a prince."

"But he obviously doesn't want to establish a crown prince." Zhao Sanfu said, "For him, the crown prince is his mortal enemy."

"The king of Yue knew this, so he remained calm."

"Why is he panicking? If the emperor dies tonight, he will be the only one who can ascend the throne tomorrow!"

"That's right! Yang Songcheng and others were looking forward to the sudden death of the emperor overnight. But he is alive and well. Don't you think this situation is too peaceful?"

Zhao Sanfu was stunned, nodded and said: "You are trying to provoke, pretending to support King Wei, and provoke King Yue to fight him."

"The old man made a start. Tell me, how many people will follow and stand in line? Isn't this court room lively?" Zheng Yuandong smiled comfortably, "It's a commotion, a mess, and the whole family will kill you. So, Only the king has a chance."

"It's better to make trouble like He Lianfeng." Zhao Sanfu patted his forehead, "Thinking too much, thinking too much."

"Why not?"

Zhao Sanfu was startled, looked at the smiling Zheng Yuandong, "What did you do?"

"I haven't done it yet, no one has it. So I'm here to ask you for help."

"You said."

"Get some poison, preferably a debilitating poison, pack it into a bag, and throw it somewhere in the palace...on the way the emperor must pass."

"Someone found out that if they reported it to Han Shitou, the emperor's loyal dog would definitely be furious and immediately investigate..."

Zheng Yuandong said: "Who wants to kill the emperor the most?"

"Queen, King Yue, King Wei, King Jing..."

"Afterwards, the whole family loves each other, the husband and wife live in harmony, the father is kind and the son is filial, isn't it good?"

"great!"

Zheng Yuandong looked at the broth, "It's too cold, give me a bowl."

After drinking a bowl of broth, Zheng Yuandong came up with a set of saber techniques with the help of that enthusiasm.

After practicing, he said: "Running across the frontier with a knife and a sword is the wish of this old man when he was young. Although he is getting older now, this energy is still there. As long as the evil atmosphere in the court is cleared, the old man will invite himself to go Lead the army in the northern border, expel the Northern Liao, and prevent Qin Guogong from being more beautiful than before!"

Footsteps were heard from the lobby, the curtain was lifted, and Qin He, Zhao Sanfu's confidant, came.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Sanfu put down the bowl and asked.

Qin He didn't look sideways, "The secret spies in northern Xinjiang just got the news that in early winter, Duke Qin led the army to attack Neizhou!"

……

The emperor listened to Han Shitou's report in the pear garden.

"...Zheng Yuandong questioned that the head of the state was partial to Zhang Chumao, and the head of the state was slightly angry. Zheng Yuandong suddenly changed the subject and praised Beijiang for not using Chang'an's penny, but suppressing Beiliao..."

The emperor let go of his hand on his forehead, and said, "He is an introduction, and there must be something to say in the follow-up."

"His Majesty……"

Han Shitou's reverent gaze was so real that the emperor was slightly pleased.

As the Ninth Five-Year Master, there are countless people who flirt with each other every day.

At the beginning, you will feel floating and feel like a god.

That feeling of being superior to the people in the world is better than any pill.

But, gradually, the emperor's threshold was raised, and ordinary flattery couldn't make him feel happy, and it was even a little embarrassing.

Then came the snoopers, who tried to test the emperor with more advanced means of flattery.

Emperor Longyan Dayue felt that he had found the value of life again, so he reused these people...

Many so-called sycophants are actually just more advanced methods of slipping their beards.

However, Han Shitou's method is very simple, concise, and directly points to people's hearts.

Don't speak, just look at the emperor with those eyes.

Silent flattery is the most touching!
The emperor was obviously moved.

After Han Shitou finished exporting, he continued: "Zheng Yuandong suddenly suggested that the king of Wei should rule the southern border, coercing the aliens and the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

"This is, do you want to stand in line?"

The emperor was neither angry nor happy, "That's right, there have been quite a few courtiers who have made suggestions and established the crown recently, and even some people in the clan said that the East Palace should not be left in vain for too long. Zheng Yuandong is the second child!"

Han Shitou said: "Behind him are relatives."

"Honor..."

The emperor said: "Zheng Yuandong is in the military department... I remember working hard, so I will reward him with 20 yuan."

"Yes." Han Shitou didn't ask why.

The emperor said indifferently: "The back of the second child is too thin, how can he be the opponent of the king?"

This is to cheer up King Wei, and it is still a trick.

"He talked about Northern Xinjiang." The emperor brought up a topic that Han Shishitou didn't want to mention, "Suppressing Beiliao? The infighting in Beiliao was raging, which gave Yang Xuan the opportunity. However, It can only go so far.”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Another housekeeper served rainbow farts.

He glanced at Han Shishi.

Han Shishi remained silent.

So, this flattery, we will do our part!
Just as the servant was about to say a few more words, a servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the mirror."

The emperor frowned, picked up the water glass, glanced at the health-preserving medicinal tea inside, and said flatly, "Speak."

The servant said: "In early winter, Qin Guogong Yang Xuan sent troops to attack Neizhou!"

Bah!
The water glass hit the ground, and the medicinal tea splashed.

Inside the hall, there was no sound.

Immediately, the emperor roared.

"Rebel!"

……

Ask for a ticket!
