Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 542 Acting leads out the old fox

However, the Zheng family chose to cause trouble in Luozhou, what political benefits could they gain?
Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Yuanxuan are still left idle by me. If they attack Luozhou, can they be used again?

No, it's not that simple.

Another way of thinking, if you haven't found out the truth.So what's next?

Cen Wenwen was impeached and dismissed because of the plague.

In this case, the position of governor of Luozhou will be vacant.

Luozhou, where the Eastern Capital is located, is not insignificant.

Could it be that the Zheng family is after Luozhou?

No, it's not that simple, there must be problems.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun suddenly made a plan.

Since I can't guess it myself, it's better to let those people take the initiative to expose it.

"I have a solution."

Du Ruhui asked: "Your Majesty has a clue?"

"That's right." Li Zhiyun looked at the two of them and said, "This time, you need to cooperate with me to find out the purpose of this villain."

Du Ruhui and Xue Shou looked at each other and agreed at the same time.

"Yes."

The next day, the Liangyi Hall made a small pilgrimage.

"Your Majesty, I have an official performance." Du Ruhui held the wat board and shouted loudly.

Li Zhiyun's eyes hidden under the crown flickered, and he said in a tired tone: "Keming, if you have a solution to the plague, you might as well just say it."

Du Ruhui straightened his waist and said: "Your Majesty, Cen Wenwen is not good at governing Luozhou, which caused the plague to appear. And now, he has no way to solve the plague. He is really negligent of duty. I think he should be dismissed immediately, imprisoned on the spot, and the officials go to Los Angeles, deal with the plague."

"Haha." Li Zhiyun suddenly smiled and said, "Back then, Prime Minister Pei wanted to dismiss Cen Wenwen, but you stopped him and persuaded me to give Cen Wenwen a chance. Now, how have you changed?"

Pei Ju who was below opened his eyes slightly, and he was also a little curious about Du Ruhui's changes.

Du Ruhui said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, let me tell you that I was thinking about old feelings and hoped that Cen Wenwen could solve the problem. I didn't think too much about it. It's my fault. Now the plague is getting more and more rampant. If we don't strictly control it, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. I dare not gamble." Cen Wenwen's ability."

That's the case, Pei Ju nodded slightly.With Du Ruhui's caution, seeing the current situation in Luozhou, it is understandable to change his mind.

Xue Shou also said: "I am also at fault. I should not have tried my best to keep Cen Wenwen in Luozhou. Now that Luozhou is corrupt, I am guilty."

"Enough." Li Zhiyun said coldly: "What's the use of admitting your mistakes now, could it be that if you admit your mistakes, the Luozhou plague will disappear?

Cen Wenwen is indeed incompetent, but now, who of you is confident that you can suppress the plague in Luozhou? "

Many courtiers were a little scared in their hearts. The emperor was really angry this time, and even his confidant ministers reprimanded him.

Du Ruhui said: "I know I was wrong, but I still want to say that Cen Wenwen may not be able to solve the plague. No matter what, Your Majesty still needs to make plans early."

"Do you have a solution?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Du Ruhui bowed his head and dared not speak.

"Hmph, there is no way not to go back."

"Yes." Du Ruhui bowed his head.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun asked, "Which one of you can do it?"

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, everyone shakes their heads, pretending to discuss, but no one can come up with a solution.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun looked blankly at the facial expressions of the courtiers.

Some are confused, some are expressionless, and some are sleepy.

After half an hour.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today. If anyone of you has a solution, write it as a memorial and hand it to me. In addition, regarding Cen Wenwen, I have decided to send another minister to Luozhou to sit in the town. As for the candidate, you can express your opinions."

After speaking, Li Zhiyun got up and left.

That afternoon, Li Zhiyun summoned Pei Ju in Wude Hall.

"Pei Gong, I regret that I didn't listen to your words at the beginning. If Cen Wenwen was dismissed as soon as possible and the ministers were sent to Luozhou to sit in town, the situation would not be as difficult as it is now." Li Zhiyun sighed to Pei Ju heartbroken.

"Your Majesty speaks too seriously." Pei Ju comforted, "Cen Wenwen is still capable, but after all, he lacks experience and cannot handle the affairs of Luozhou. He cannot be blamed."

"Hmph, I trust him so much, but he gave me such an explanation, can't I blame him?" Li Zhiyun said: "Pei Gong, you are too kind. You are right, Cen Wenwen is inexperienced, and the same is true for me in governing the country. Overconfident."

Hearing this, the corners of Pei Ju's mouth curled slightly, and he said immediately: "Your Majesty, don't think so. Your Majesty has done a good job in destroying the Turks and helping the victims, no matter what. What happened in Luozhou is Cen Wenwen's failure to live up to His Majesty." Hope, how can you blame His Majesty."

"Alas." Li Zhiyun looked at Pei Ju and said, "Elder Pei, the late emperor, often told me that if the country was in trouble, he should ask Pei Gong for his opinion and ask him to teach me."

Pei Ju chuckled, and said modestly: "The late emperor has praised you so much, the old minister should do his best for the Great Tang."

"Okay, with Mr. Pei here, I am safe." Li Zhiyun asked: "Gong Pei, what should I do now?"

Pei Ju thought for a moment, then said: "I still think it's better to send another minister to Luozhou to take charge."

"I think so too, but I don't know who has this ability." Li Zhiyun said distressedly.

"The veteran recommends someone for His Majesty. Although it may not be able to solve the plague in Luozhou, it can provide His Majesty with food and grass."

"Who?"

"Zheng Shanguo."

Hearing this, a stern look flashed in Li Zhiyun's eyes.

Old fox, it really has something to do with you!
At first, Li Zhiyun felt strange.Cen Wenwen and Pei Ju have no grievances, why is it that Pei Ju was the first to deal with Cen Wenwen when something happened in Luozhou this time, and he is still secretly colluding with courtiers to impeach Cen Wenwen?
That's right, many officials are in private contact with Pei Ju regarding the impeachment of Cen Wenwen these days.

With Xuanyiwei in hand, Li Zhiyun was very aware of the movements of Minister Chang'an.

Now, Pei Ju's recommendation of Zheng Shanguo almost convinced Li Zhiyun that Pei Ju was definitely involved in the incident in Luozhou this time.

I just don't know what role this old fox plays in it.

"Zheng Shanguo?" Li Zhiyun continued acting suspiciously, "Can he do it?"

Pei Ju said: "Your Majesty, he may not be able to solve the plague, but he must be able to control the plague. Your Majesty should know the power of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Moreover, he is an old man of Prince Yin. For his future consideration, if Your Majesty uses him this time , the veteran believes that he will do his best to help His Majesty relieve his worries.

At that time, Zheng Shanguo may take out the relief food from the clan himself. "

Pei Ju was sure that the young emperor would not refuse this proposal.Everyone knows that the plague can only wait for it to disappear by itself, and before it disappears, the materials consumed will undoubtedly be huge.If Zheng Shanguo could take it out, the emperor would never refuse.

I have to admit that Li Zhiyun felt that if he didn't know the truth, he would really think Pei Ju's proposal was very good.

But now, he only felt that Pei Ju was digging holes for him.

More importantly, what is Pei Ju trying to do to help Zheng Shi?
What can Mrs. Zheng give Pei Ju to convince this old fox to take the risk of impeaching his confidant minister?

Interesting, things are getting more and more interesting.

Pei Ju, an old fox, really has deep thoughts.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Pei Ju asked, "Does Your Majesty feel that there is something wrong?"

Li Zhiyun shook his head and said with emotion: "Pei Gong, it's lucky to have you by my side, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

What he hesitated was not Zheng Shanguo, but the plot of the old fox Pei Ju.
