In Chang'an, Anyifang, Zheng Qi, the prime minister of the dynasty who was appointed as the minister of the disciple and the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, was just now on the lanterns. The origin of this house was the property he placed when his father Zheng Ya was once the Guiguan Observation Envoy.

Since Zheng Ting re-entered the court and became the Minister of Revenue and the Hanlin Scholar, he acquired the orders of the neighboring houses and gradually expanded the current large courtyards on the left and right sides, with eight inside and outside, half of them were gardens, ponds, half of them were villas and pavilions, covering an area of ​​seventy or eighty acres.

However, compared with the well-known and old-fashioned prime ministers in the capital, the noble relatives, the various gardens and gardens left behind by the noble family; especially the Shangshu Youzheng, who was once a close disciple and political enemy, the other houses governed by Zheng Xun, the young master of the prince's resignation, the title of "Qi Song Chushi"; his residence can be regarded as particularly simple and simple.

You should know that he was the Changzhi of the Zheng family of Xingyang, the five surnames and seven hopes, and he was born in the Zhengfang lineage. He was also the eleventh prime minister from the Zheng family of Rongyang in the Tang Dynasty. In the future, he may go out separately and become the sixth prime minister in the latest version of the "Clan Records".

Today is another night when he eats alone on the grounds of busy official documents. On the one hand, as the head of the family, he really doesn't want some of the continuation of the mood in the court to show the family members, including his wife and children. On the other hand, although he is a relative who is a living together, the relatives of the prime minister of the dynasty still cannot avoid something that has attracted the attention of the world, so it is better to let them lose sight of it.

However, as the prime minister's solitary book pavilion, it is also a bit unusual; everything is arranged in the form of his furnishings when he was in Guizhou; in addition to the piles of stacked books, only the bright wall panels are hung with his masterpiece "Mawei Slope" written by him, who is good at the right military body. The iron-painted silver hooks with suitable thickness and lightness, has a sense of proud bones of wind and rain.

"The Jianghuai roads have won the best? How many times has this been..."

Zheng Ting sighed again and raised his head, rubbing the acupoints between his eyebrows hard, so that his somewhat dull mind would wake up again.

"We all came from Yuezhou in Jiangxi Road and won the victory all the way to Jiangzhou in Jiangdong Road. There were more than hundreds of thousands of reports from the government troops in various places to kill the thieves and behead them... Why are the thieves still invincible and unabated?"

"Even if you win two or three out of ten, it's a great blessing..."

Thinking of this, he looked at the chicken oil soup that had already condensed from the lotus table silver cup in front of him, and the two-color water dragon rice made with Longjing rice and chicken blood glutinous rice made by his wife in person, and there was no intention of moving at all. Even the light wine that he liked to drink before the meal, Qingyulu, which he usually liked to drink before the meal, did not feel any taste in his mouth at this moment.

His mood is really bad today because of the new news. The man who once strongly promoted him to the Political Affairs Hall, and was demoted because he angered the previous emperor in the funeral of Princess Tongchang. He was summoned by Zi today and died in office. Liu Zhan, the former prime minister who was "known as the Qing Dynasty"; his hometown where his relatives were buried, and the place in Guiyang, Hunan, where his relatives were located, was unfortunately caught in a thief.

With the style and means of the gentry outside the ridge, the graves, and the ancestral temples must not be preserved. Although he is at the height of the temple and the honor of the pavilion and the chief minister of the country, he is unable to do anything;

You should know that when this minister was in power, although he was the prime minister, he had only a few acres of residence, and was not his own private house but an official house set up by the court. He could also openly reject the bribes from all directions and the worldly clear streams when the emperor thought it was a convention.

In fact, when he went to the book to consult in the name of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhou Bao, the governor of Zhenhai, refused to divide his troops south without hesitation because the western part of Zhejiang was unstable. The Zhejiang East Observer (Yisheng Army) among the southeast vassal states had been hanging since the observation commander Cui Miu was captured by Huang Ni; the remaining Xuanshe Observer Pei Qianyu (Ningguo Army) also refused the possibility of using troops in Lingdong on the grounds that he wanted to give priority to the thieves.

As for his old rival, Lu Xie, he took the opportunity to block and reject it several times, and sent envoys from the imperial court to mediate and intervene, and observed the disputes in Fujian. He also in turn accused himself of his selfishness for his relatives.

For this reason, he almost wanted to raise the board on the spot, and hit the other party's unreasonable faces that "everyone knows it"; you must know that he is a eldest son from the famous Zheng family in Rongyang, and he has been practicing the six arts of a gentleman since he was a child. If there were no slander and the attendant present, he would be confident that he would be able to make Lu Zisheng, who had been weakened by the wine and sex, had no power to resist.

But no matter what, since Huang Nibei went out of the ridge and fell into the prefectures and counties, he still went into exile to the lifeline of the court under the "competition" of the officials and troops along the way. The national financial plan came out of various southeastern roads, which made him feel a little worried and anxious about national affairs.

Unlike the young saint who only Da Ah's father said on the imperial throne. He was a Jinshi in his early years. He served as the governor of Xuanwu Army and the proofreader of the Secretariat. He followed his father to Guizhou (now Guilin, Guangxi) to work as a servant, and learned about and contacted the scenery of Lingnan. After returning to Beijing, he became a minister of the Ministry of Justice and was renamed the magistrate of Wannian County.

He was a prime minister from a famous family but had many local practical experience. How could he not see the vain and moisture of these vast majority of the victories? At least those officials who claimed to have been in trouble when they were defeated by the thieves and were basically not fake.

And among the dozens of states including Raozhou, Xinzhou, Chizhou, Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Hangzhou, etc., those who dared to "pursuit" the thieves and turned hundreds of miles away, and hundreds of miles away, but stayed away from the original capital and garrison, but asked the court for food and assistance, as if they could calm the thief in the next moment, they were also "commendable" and "real".

However, it is a pity that under the current tangled ritual of Tian Dahuan and Lu Zisheng, this kind of continuous progressive victory is needed to whitewash the scene and inspire people. Even Zheng Ting and Wang Mei, who are prime ministers, dare not easily expose and overturn it.

Especially after the previous dynasty struggled to lose the heart of the king and Wang Duo's help, the huge northern land now has changed its guards to the east of Tongguan, Ru, Shaanxi, Xu, Deng, Bian, Hua, Qing, Gun and other states. All the military commanders appointed by Wang Duo and Zheng Ting were replaced or moved out.

This Lu Zisheng was supported by Tian Lingzi in the court and responded to and advocated by Gao Pian outside. Therefore, under the control of step by step pressing and counterattack, he had gradually squeezed out the Qingliu represented by Zheng Ting and Wang Mei, a clan-like party, out of the court's military and political power.

Not long ago, Yuan Wei, the deputy envoy of the Transportation of Duzhi and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue under Zheng Ting, requested the emperor to agree to borrow half of the wealthy households and Hu merchants in the city to make money for the country. However, he did not want to come to the hall to discuss the salt and iron transfer envoy from the southeast, saying: "Thieves all over the world all emerged from hunger and cold, and the wealthy households were the only ones, and Hu merchants were not heard." The emperor stopped his edict.

Lu Xie took the opportunity to drive Yuan Wei, the Minister of Revenue, out of the court and demoted him to the governor of Xingzhou. Then, Gao Pian, the governor of Huainan, submitted a memorial again, requesting that the Yangziyuan where Yangzhou lived be converted into a shipping envoy; but further divided the authority of the imperial court's transfer envoy.

During this period, there was a left-handed Hou Changye who believed that thieves were everywhere east of Tongguan, but the Holy Lord was not in charge of politics and was dedicated to the game, and had no military power to reward his ministers. The eunuch Tian Lingzi was tyrannical and ignored the emperor, causing the celestial phenomena to change, and the country would be in danger. Therefore, he submitted a memorial to the great day of the day. As a result, he angered the Holy Lord and summoned Hou Changye to the provincial eunuch to commit suicide.

Although after several setbacks in the court, Zheng Qi could not help but feel a sense of leaving the position again; just like when Liu Zhan, who was drafted an edict to dismiss the emperor, he did not hesitate to see the emperor angry with the emperor and wasted several years of being exiled by the governor of Wuzhou. He even considered following a certain ancestor who had achieved success in practicing Taoism and went to Zhongnan Mountain to escape for the rest of his life.

Because he was not particularly attached to the power of the court, but just for the reputation of Zheng's family and his long-cherished wish to establish a country since childhood, he worked hard to bridge and maintain the authority of the country and the emperor in the filth of the court;

He has also been telling himself that the current holy lord is only young and young and has a fun and fun heart, so he is just blinded by the treacherous and tricked people. He only needs to help himself and stay until he grows up, and his mind stabilizes and experiences are broader. Perhaps he can cheer up like the Xian (Zong) and Wen (Zong) dynasties, and clear away the flaws and difficulties of the present, and re-arrange the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years.

Besides, he was carrying the fate and future of the Zheng clan of Rongyang. If even the courts, such as their aristocratic families, could use their talents and means, no longer exist; then even if he retreated without hesitation, then in this chaotic world where the foreign vassals were standing in the endless center, where could he be able to protect such a large clan?

When Zheng Ting thought of this section, he became even more discouraged. At this time, he saw the book "Mawei Slope" on the wall again; the words "It's the last thing that is the emperor of the throne, who is Jingyang Palace Well?" make people feel a little dazzling and absurd.

In the end, he had to wait for two people to remove these food utensils; but he was not careful of the reports from the slaves outside.

"The villain is called the husband, and a man came to visit with Mr. Wang Tang's post..."

Zheng Ting was surprised and remembered that Wang Duo, who was now being recruited to return to the capital and was being punished. Shouldn't he avoid suspicion and avoid being caught by Lu Xie's party who was in power? Even though he thought so, Zheng Ting decided to identify the person who came to the visitor, he still led the other party to the Xinmei Xiaozhu whom he liked to be alone.

"A villain is not talented, he has to blame his husband for his advice... It's really a matter of no reason to die."

The one who knelt on the ground and spoke was his confidant Li Hanping, who was accompanying him, and Wang Xiao, who participated in the secret mission of going south to recruit the security;

"However, Secretary Li was unfortunately in trouble, but the criminal was lucky enough to escape with his poor body and returned home. There are still many situations in which he wanted to make his husband know, but he really couldn't vomit."

Zheng Ting only saw him look withered and thin, and he didn't know how much suffering he suffered (pink head) or how many sins he suffered (benefits). So he said with a slightly moved heart:

"Then get up and talk, and tell me your experiences one by one."

When Wang Xiao, who had changed his clothes and became richer in his bag, was sent out of the side door of Zheng's house under the night sky; he also breathed a sigh of relief; at least this time, his uncle Wang Duo lost power, he had already passed by and gained something.

As for the uproar that might have caused in the court next, he couldn't even care about it and could not have imagined that it would be so far away.

When Lu Xie, who was just in the prime of his youth, was waiting for court to get news from Zheng Ting's letter. He couldn't help but say to his party members with some clues and differences:

"Recruitment, it's another recruitment... Zheng Taiwen is making the idea again... Do you want to take the lead before we wait for the first time?"

"Your Majesty is wrong. What Zheng Taiwen wants to recruit is not the raging divine Huang Ni, but the thief-headed demon monk outside the ridge..."

A servant in deep-scarlet clothes frowned and said

"It is for his dignified prime minister, a family of classics who are known as Zi Buyu's chaotic ghosts and gods, who have been so dedicated to such a mere thief, I'm afraid there are important reasons we don't know about..."

Another subordinate in the censor's uniform was a slut.

"I thought it was right to go to the place where Mr. Gao was waiting for me..."
