The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 759 Chapter 758 I don't know
In the hall of King Yan's Mansion, Zhang Yan paced there alone, his brows were tightened, his face was ashen, and he looked preoccupied.

The conversation with Zhuge Liang just now made Zhang Yandun feel worried. He has already issued a strict order to prohibit anyone from selling the property in Pengcheng privately. Without Mi Zhu's instruction, how could this housekeeper have such courage?
Mi Zhu is the elder brother of Princess Yan Mi Zhen, the richest man in Xuzhou, with a wealth that rivals any country. Although he is not a famous family, he is also a family of great wealth and great influence in Xuzhou.

If Zhang Yan hadn't been supported by Mi Zhu back then, and backed by the wealth of the Mi family, it would have been impossible for him to become the King of Yan now.

Marrying Mi Zhen is half out of his own preference, and the other half is out of his own inner plan, he wants to use Mi Zhen to get close to Mi Zhu, so as to gain Mi's financial support.

Mi Zhu is also very business-minded, seeing that Zhang Yan will stand out, so he married his favorite sister, Mi Zhen, to Zhang Yan. In addition, Mi Zhu himself was making a huge gamble. He put the future of the Mi family It's all betting on Zhang Yan. Whether the Mi family will become a famous family in the world, all hopes are tied to Zhang Yan alone.

Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang even risked his life for the sake of the Mi family's future.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu had a unique vision, and he made the right bet. Zhang Yan did not disappoint his hope. In just a few years, he became the world-famous regent, and even became the emperor. possible.

Now Mi Zhu's younger sister, Mi Zhen, is the first wife of Zhang Yanming's matchmaker, and has become Princess Yan. If Zhang Yan becomes the emperor again, then Mi Zhen will definitely become the queen of the world, and then Mi Zhu will be the uncle of the dynasty. , the future of the Mi family will also change from now on, no longer need to be bound by the status of a businessman, and thus become a famous family.

Under the seemingly calm lake in Pengcheng, there is actually an undercurrent surging. The ministers of the court and China headed by Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others are almost all gathered together, and they have been secretly planning to let the emperor of the Han Dynasty take the Zen seat. Zhang Yan, a conspiracy to change the dynasty.And there are countless officials who participated in it, even Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei who has always been trusted by Zhang Yan, also participated in it, as well as General Wei Xu Chu, Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhuge Jin and others.

At first, it was just some ministers secretly planning this matter, but with the addition of Jin Yiwei Commander Xu Sheng, the news passed by Jin Yiwei must go through Xu Sheng, as long as it is related to the information that affects this matter, all It was filtered out by Xu Sheng. In this way, Zhang Yan, who was at a high place, was kept in the dark like a deaf or blind man.

Later, more and more people participated in it. Zhuge Liang, the younger brother of Zhuge Jin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was the first to discover the clues. During a drinking session, Zhuge Jin told this secret because he was drunk, which made Zhuge Liang feel that this matter was extremely terrible.

After that, Zhuge Liang's heart was always uneasy, and he didn't say anything, but quietly investigated this matter. As a result, he found that the interests of countless people were involved behind this matter, and the number of people involved in it was also increasing. More and more, even Mi Zhu, the governor of Xuzhou, was involved.

But Zhang Yan himself has been kept in the dark, knowing nothing and seeing nothing.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to expose this conspiracy several times, but he hesitated to speak. If he said it, he would be fighting against the entire bureaucratic system of the big man. It is amazing that these bureaucratic systems can be so united. Unknowingly, they are unknowingly planning to change the dynasty. From this, it can be seen that how many people's interests are on this matter.

If they don't change their dynasties, even if they spend their whole lives, they will be just a generation of famous ministers, and they may not be able to leave a strong mark in the history.But if the dynasty changes, it will be different. They are the founding heroes, and the rewards they receive will become richer, and even future generations will inherit their titles and enjoy their titles.

This is a huge chain of interests, and everyone involved is well aware of the huge benefits brought to them by the success of this matter.

The big man's officialdom is also united like never before. All the people involved don't want good things to be ruined. If necessary, they will even use extreme means to kill people and silence them. It is not impossible.

At the same time, even Zhuge Liang himself has some temptations in this regard, but his heart is very contradictory. On the one hand, it is because of Yan Wang Zhang Yan's trust in him, and on the other hand, it is because of his own interests. Even his own brother is also involved. Once the matter is exposed, he will also be implicated.

For more than half a month, Zhuge Liang himself has been very conflicted in his heart. Today in Yan Wangfu, under the pressure of Zhang Yan, he also felt an unprecedented pressure, and he could even feel that Zhang Yan himself had already noticed it.After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang made such a decision, neither to offend those civil and military officials, nor to disappoint Zhang Yan, so he simply told the whole story about Mi Zhu's housekeeper's secret acquisition of Pengcheng's property, and prepared to let Zhang Yan Starting from Mi Zhu, he slowly discovered the conspiracy.

In Yanwang's mansion, Zhang Yan waited for nearly half an hour before Xuzhou governor Mi Zhu came from outside. Before Mi Zhu could speak, Zhang Yan asked impatiently: "It's not a long journey from the governor's mansion to Yanwang's mansion. It’s been almost half an hour since Mi Cishi left, so it can be seen that Mi Cishi has a lot of work to do every day, and he is very busy with official duties, Mi Cishi really worked hard.”

Zhang Yan has used Pengcheng as a temporary capital for a long time. Pengcheng is located in Xuzhou, so Xuzhou has become a very important position. The governor of Xuzhou is equivalent to the captain of Sili, who is in charge of the vicinity of Gyeonggi. military power.However, after Zhang Yan changed the imperial court system to the system of three provinces and six ministries, the post of Sili Xiaowei was no longer established, so the governor of Xuzhou naturally became Sili Xiaowei.

Originally, the governor's residence in Xuzhou was in Tancheng. Zhang Yan moved the governor's office to Pengcheng last year for political needs and to facilitate the control of the affairs around Pengcheng.Moreover, he is also considering that once the capital is moved from Pengcheng to Luoyang, Pengcheng, the foundation of his hard-working business, cannot just decline, at least it must become the state city of Xuzhou, so that everything he has built will not be abandoned.

When Mi Zhu heard Zhang Yan's words and looked at Zhang Yan's facial expression, he knew that Zhang Yan was not in a good mood today.Normally, after seeing Mi Zhu, Zhang Yan would always call Mi Zhu his elder brother to show his closeness when there were no outsiders.But today Zhang Yan was uncharacteristically calling him Mi Ci Shi.

He went straight into the hall, first saluted Zhang Yan, and then said very apologetically: "It is a crime to keep His Highness waiting for a long time, and I am willing to be punished."

Seeing Mi Zhu's sincere attitude, Zhang Yan waved his hands and said, "It's better that you are here than never, please sit down first, let's talk slowly!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Mi Zhu took his seat, he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why Zhang Yan summoned him, and he didn't know why, so he asked, "I don't know why Your Highness called me here?"

Zhang Yan did not speak immediately, but picked up a teacup casually, took a sip of the tea, and then said to Mi Zhu: "This is Yunwu tea that came as a tribute from the south. Mi Shi likes to drink tea, so it's better to have a good tea." A product?"

As soon as the words were finished, someone walked up to Mi Zhu with a bowl of tea. Mi Zhu picked up the bowl of tea, stood up, then bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhang Yan has been staring at Mi Zhu closely, and after seeing Mi Zhu taking a sip of Yunwu tea, he said softly: "This tea is called Yunwu, and it is picked from the high mountains in the south. I don't know the true appearance, so this tea is named after it. Although this tea is called Yunwu, but when you drink it, the taste is strong, mellow and refreshing, it is really the top grade of tea."

"It's really the best tea." Mi Zhu said.

"If Mi Cishi likes it, I will order someone to give you some when I leave in a while."

"Your Highness's reward, Mi Zhu is extremely grateful."

Suddenly, Zhang Yan changed the subject and said: "Mi Cishi, although this tea is called Yunwu, it is also called according to the local weather habits, but as a human being, especially an official, we must not be surrounded by clouds and mist, which will make people drink tea. You can't see clearly, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you might lose your head!"

Mi Zhu is a very smart person, and he also knows that Zhang Yan will not drink tea for no reason, and the atmosphere in the hall today is not quite right, Zhang Yan must have something to do with him.

Therefore, Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, between you and me, there is no need to beat around the bush like this?"

"Since that's the case, then I'll cut to the chase. I'm asking you, recently, I've been wanting to move the capital. You should know, right?"

"The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are well known to everyone."

"The king strictly ordered officials and wealthy gentry to sell property privately, and those who violated the order were all beheaded for public display, and those who bought them were also guilty of the same crime, do you know?"

"His Royal Highness Wang Ling is like a mountain, how could I not know?"

"Since you know it, why do you commit the crime knowingly? Are you guilty?" Zhang Yan was suddenly furious, pointing at Mi Zhu and shouting loudly.

Mi Zhu was also stunned for a while, and asked with an innocent face: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is Mi Zhu's crime?"

"My lord sees that you don't shed tears when you see the coffin. You don't know what you did? You secretly sent the housekeeper to buy properties in Pengcheng, do you think this lord doesn't know?" Zhang Yan said angrily.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and said with a surprised face: "There is such a thing?"

Seeing that Mi Zhu also looked confused, Zhang Yan didn't seem to know about it, so he asked back, "How dare you say you don't know about it?"

"I really don't know about it." Mi Zhu replied solemnly, as if he wasn't lying.

"If it's not you, who else could it be? Someone saw the steward of your mansion appear in the mansion of Chen Qun, Minister of the Household Department, bargaining with Chen Qun's steward to buy Chen Qun's mansion."

Mi Zhu also frowned. He knew that Zhang Yan would not lie, so he cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please give me an hour. I will go back and find out the truth about this matter. After an hour, I will give Your Highness an explanation." of."

Seeing that Mi Zhu really didn't know the situation, Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I'm still waiting for you here in an hour. I hope I can know the cause and effect of this incident by then."
