Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

78. Determination and rumors

"Second Brother, Yu and Eldest Brother have been waiting for a few months, and there should be an explanation." In Feng Xifan's mansion outside Anping City, the three Feng brothers were sitting in a group. Among them, Feng Xihan, the youngest, was the most irritable. The cold bench for several months has already made him uncomfortable. "It's just that the town general, the prime minister, and the assistant are not available. With the rest of the qualifications, there is no problem with the mere district supervisor."

"Second and third are not trying to embarrass you. Yu and the others also know that Dongning is full of carrots and pits. There is really no place for Yu and others to take up real positions. But Yu and the third are back then, so it is really hard for Yu and others to stay at home. It's over." Feng Xigui also beat the side drum. "Shen Rui and the other generals can be a rich man at home with peace of mind, but even if Yu and the third child have this kind of heart, they must have this kind of financial resources, right? You are beside the king, why can't you help pass a sentence."

"Big brother, third brother, it's not that you can't tell the king, but it must be useful if you say it."

Feng Xifan looked at his two brothers in distress. Although they had reason to worry about their respective futures, who would take care of his future?Originally, he racked his brains to win over Liu Guoxuan and fooled Chen Yonghua, but who knew that Zheng Kezang came out to disrupt the situation so that he could not do his best. Now that he and Chen Yonghua have formed a deadly feud, it is unknown who will die in the future. At this time, his family The brother didn't know how to help, but came here to make trouble, one can imagine his mood.

"Second brother, you are the number one trustworthy minister in front of the majestic king, and your words don't work." Feng Xihan misunderstood Feng Xifan's words, and he shouted loudly, with some resentment in his tone, but more of a threat . "Second brother, who will believe what you say, oh, Yu understands, are you disregarding the lives of Yu and elder brother?"

"What nonsense!" Feng Xifan noticed the suspicion in Feng Xigui's eyes, and he shouted sharply out of anger. "What do you know! Your Majesty is ignoring business right now, and everything is in the hands of Shisun and Chen Yonghua. Even if Yu makes sense to the King, Shisun's side will delay for two months, and then seal it up when Chen Yonghua returns to take charge of the matter." Come back, it’s still not empty!”

Feng Xigui and Feng Xihan looked at each other, both of them also knew that Feng Xifan had cheated Chen Shengwu and Chen Yonghua's nephew, as the saying goes, retaliation for retaliation, the "cause" that Feng Xifan imposed on the other party, now it's their turn to bear the "effect" .

"Second brother, is there really nothing you can do?" Feng Xihan looked frustrated. "I knew I shouldn't have done it"

"Third brother, stop talking." Feng Xigui saw Feng Xifan's face became more and more gloomy, so he immediately interrupted Feng Xihan's words. "Second, don't blame the third, he is also anxious." Feng Xigui explained a few words for Feng Xihan, and then frowned. "The grandson and Chen Yonghua are Weng-in-law, and they are one. If Chen Yonghua catches Feng's family and won't let go." Feng Xigui looked at Feng Xifan in horror. "Doesn't that mean, second child, you are also in danger?"

"Brother is right." Feng Xifan breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally someone who understood among his brothers, so he said it frankly. "With the king's favor, Chen Yonghua's side is not afraid. At worst, soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth, but grandchildren." Feng Xifan shook his head. "Your Majesty has been in poor health since he was defeated in the mainland, and now he is indulging in sensuality and drinking excessively every day. I am afraid that he will not last long. If the Majesty is no longer there, Chen Yonghua will definitely instigate his grandson to use Yu to perform surgery. By then ,” Feng Xifan smiled wryly. "Taiwan's customs is very tight now, even if you want to escape, you won't be able to escape!"

"Then what should we do?" The blood on Feng Xigui's face faded away. "Or," because it was about the lives and wealth of the Feng family, he held back a bad idea in a panic for a long time. "How about, second child, let's confess our sincerity to our grandson and Chen Yonghua now. Although it's a bit late, Chen Yonghua is an honest man, so he won't pursue it to the end."

"Defeat? Admit defeat?" Feng Xifan shook his head and said in a blank tone. "It's useless. The grandson of the generation is quite resolute and has the style of the surname of the country. In the future, when he inherits the great position, he can use Yu, the king's trustworthy minister, as a knife. He can kill chickens and monkeys and free up some positions. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Can a flirtatious admit defeat be enough to change the situation? Besides, if the grandson really wanted to win over the Feng family, he wouldn't have accepted Chen Yonghua's daughter in the first place."

"According to what the second brother said, is our Feng family completely finished?" Feng Xihan raised his eyebrows with a vicious look. "That's not going to work," he suggested through gritted teeth. "Sit and wait is death, why don't you just keep doing it and bring down the descendants, Chen Yonghua is just the meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered by us!"

"Topple the grandson?" Feng Xifan couldn't help gasping, and then looked Feng Xihan up and down with the eyes of a stranger. "Third son, what nonsense are you talking about? People in the world often say that you can't be close to each other. The king and his grandson are of the same heart. How can you let Yu, a foreign minister, bring down the heir of this vassal!"

"No!" Feng Xigui raised his hand. "What the third brother said makes sense. The father and son of the Tian family are different from ordinary families. There are many abolished princes in history, and there are many examples of being overthrown by the king's trustworthy ministers. Second, you should think about it. What can be done between father and son?" It was a gap." Looking at Feng Xifan's embarrassed look, Feng Xigui said every word in a serious tone. "This matter concerns the safety of the entire Feng family. The second child must fight to the death."

Feng Xifan closed his eyes, and the muscles on his face twitched, obviously he was engaged in a battle between heaven and man, but after all, the desire for power and worry for survival overwhelmed the fear in his heart, he opened his eyes, and nodded slowly: "Brother, Don't worry, third brother, for the sake of the Feng family, Young Master Yu will have to fight hard."

"Second brother, third brother, you have heard the rumors in the market."

The Feng family had just made up their minds, and before they had time to implement the plan to slander Zhu Jin, there were rumors on the market that Zheng Kezang was not Zhu Jin's son. , so these words are very popular among new immigrants, so they began to spread rapidly.However, these rumors were only circulated in the market at first, but soon became more and more widespread and intensified under the impetus of some unknown force, and soon flew from the streets to the compound of the wealthy family, so that several Zheng clan members also had heard.

"Speak clearly," Zheng Wen gesticulated. He had always disliked Zheng Kezang, but now that he had a rare opportunity, he naturally wanted to add embellishments. "Hey, I really can't see that Chen Zhaoniang has such courage, but think about it, otherwise how dare you seduce the eldest brother back then."

"Old Ba, didn't I tell you not to get involved, but you didn't listen." Zheng Cong gave Zheng Wen a vicious look. "What are the rumors? Why don't you tell them sooner or later? Now that the rumors are popping up, you are such an old man, you better use your brain, don't be sold out and don't even know."

"What Second Brother said makes sense." Zheng Ming echoed. "This matter is very strange. It may be related to the competition for favor and succession in the inner circle. I just wait and watch. You must not participate in it. Otherwise, if you let the elder brother know, it will be the lightest to be scolded. Maybe you will treat us as a The culprit."

"Old Ba, don't be ignorant of it. In addition, you can take care of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth." Seeing Zheng Wen who was disapproving, Zheng Cong urged again. "Don't look for trouble, brother doesn't rub the sand in his eyes"

With the constraints of Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming, although the Zheng clan kept silent about the rumor internally, they did not come forward to clarify the rumor. Although Feng Xifan was puzzled by the sudden rumor, he had already decided to shake Zheng Ke. Zang status, he did not prevent Feng Xihan from contributing to the flames.

"Slim, Fangniang, Yuniang, and Ziling," rumors spread into Anping City, and Zheng Kezang felt it was time to act, so he recruited a group of wives and daughters. "Yu asked you one thing. If Yu was not born to the king, would you still be willing to be with Yu?" , and Chen Xianqiao held Zheng Kezang's hand worriedly, expressing his attitude silently. "Okay, with you as companions, it doesn't matter if you don't become this grandson." Zheng Kezang laughed. "Let's go to pay respects to the father"

"Guard Feng, it's not good. Shisun took Shisun concubine and several other wives to kneel outside to beg to see the king."

The panting guard reported to Feng Xifan in a panic. Feng Xifan was also shocked, but then he thought of something, and his face darkened: "Is the grandson's move embarrassing the king? Let's go and tell the grandson that the king is not healthy. , disappeared today."

Because the guards who reported back and forth were blocked by Feng Xifan, Zheng Kezang knelt for half an hour and still did not see Zhu Jin. It didn't matter that he was young and strong, but the few weak wives and concubines had already been tanned viciously. I couldn't take it anymore, and the young daughters cried loudly, but the palace gate was still tightly closed.

Fortunately, Zheng Kezang was not the only one to prepare. Just half an hour after he knelt down, Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming rushed over after receiving the news, but they dared not persuade and could not open the door. , there was news that hundreds of officials had gathered in the Yinluan Hall, and at this time Dong Guotai hurried over with Zheng Keshuang. Seeing such a scene, Dong Guotai's expression sank.

"Come here, help the grandson and concubine to rest first," Dong Guotai ordered, and then came to the gate of the palace. "Open!"

This time Feng Xifan couldn't hold back anymore. The guards opened the door in a panic. Dong Guotai took the lead to restrain Zheng Keshuang's hand and walked in, followed by Zheng Cong and others. Finally Zheng Kezang and his wife and daughter were also helped in.

The drunk Zhu Jin was woken up from a good dream. Seeing such a neat scene, he was still a little puzzled. When Dong Guotai told the story, he was furious: "Shameless! Nonsense!"

Zhu Jin shot at everyone's faces with his scarlet eyes, and seeing his appearance of choosing someone to devour, everyone except Dong Guotai and Zheng Kezang dodged subconsciously: "I watched Qin She's birth back then. , It’s obviously a man, how can a girl drop her bag! Those who spread such rumors have ulterior motives, they should be killed! They should be killed!”

Zhu Jin gave an order: "Come on, order to go down, and immediately hunt down this chaotic party!"

"Father!" The instigator, Zheng Kezang, got what he wanted, so naturally he couldn't let the situation slip to the extreme. "Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the son. The father must take care of himself. As for those rioters, rumors are limited to the wise. If they wantonly kill, they will fall into the tricks of others and hurt the benevolence of the father."

"Qin She is right," Dong Guotai nodded at Zheng Kezang. "This matter should not be involved in major events, it is better to keep calm."

"Forget it, I just wronged Qinshe." Zhu Jin said angrily. "Go and tell the people in the Yinluan Hall that a rumor can mobilize the crowd. Could it be that there are dead people all over the clan!" Of course, the guard who sent the message couldn't have said so, but it is certain that Zheng Kezang's identity was confirmed. "Grandmother, my son doesn't bother you to clean up, Qin She, but you accompany grandma, second child, you go back too," the clouds barely dissipated one day, and Dong Guotai naturally wouldn't stay looking at Zhu Jin's decadent look, as for those The Zheng family members, Zhu Jin didn't want them to stay, so he sent them away in a hurry. "Qinshe, Xianqiao and the others have endured hardships today, so let's go back to rest first, you stay and talk to your father."

"No!" Zheng Kezang walked over obediently, and helped Zhu Jin, who was smelling of alcohol, the backs of the father and son were equally lonely
