"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that my Great Zhou was established at the beginning and everything is in trouble. No one should be overly extravagant!" Someone was happy for Zheng Ziming, so naturally some people disliked him. In the Hanliang Hall of the Great Zhou Palace, the Privy Councilor Wang Jun walked up angrily and slapped a memorial of impeachment heavily on Guo Wei's table.

"Oh? Someone has squandered the country? Who is so bold?" Guo Wei was holding a book of history and was shocked by the sounds on the table. He raised his head and frowned and asked.

"No, no!" Wang Jun was immediately angry when asked, frowned and gritted his teeth. After a while, he changed to a relatively gentle tone and added: "Even if you spend your own money, you shouldn't show off your wealth so much. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are not the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I can't tolerate Wang Kai and Shi Chong!" (Note 1)

"Oh? Spend your own money?" Guo Wei was stunned again, stood up, and poured Wang Jun a cold tea, "It's hot day, Brother Xiufeng will drink a little tea to relieve the heat. Although I don't like someone deliberately showing off his wealth, I don't have much trouble spending his own money as long as it has not exceeded the limit!"

At this time, the weather had already begun to fall. How could there be a little heat in Hanliang Hall surrounded by water? Wang Jun's old face suddenly turned a little black, but he had to accept the tea handed over by Guo Wei. He held the teacup for a while, took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, why should you pretend to be confused with the old minister? Zheng Ziming got married, and bought more than a dozen cars of red silk just for the best. It is said that on the day of the wedding, he had to make red makeup on the trees on both sides of the house... "

"You mean this matter. Chang Kegong has already known it to me. This is the agreement between Zheng Ziming and the youngest daughter of the Chang family when he was young, and it cannot be said nothing." Guo Wei poured himself a bowl of tea, deliberately not looking at Wang Jun's seven orifices. While standing up and walking gently along the window, he added calmly. "Anyway, both of them are first-class mobsters. I think it's better to have their own temperament and the court doesn't need to interfere too much."

"You..." Unexpectedly, Guo Wei had already stood on the side of the impeachment. Wang Jun was so angry that his hands trembled, and half a cup of tea poured on his big collar.

"Brother Xiufeng, Chang Si is in charge of the two states of Zelu. He has made great achievements a few days ago. I am an old acquaintance with him. I really don't want him to be incompatible with you, either martial arts or literary skills. Otherwise, sometimes, I really don't know who to support me! Alas——" Guo Wei heard the sound of water behind him, but refused to look back, looking at the lotus pods in front of Hanliang Hall, and sighed.

The sigh was not long, but it was like two big slaps in the face, making Wang Jun's face flushed.

I don’t know who to support me? I clearly pretend to be confused and deliberately use Chang Si’s hands to make myself ugly! Otherwise, whether it is to maintain the majesty of the law or to maintain the face of the court, when the Privy Councilor spits at the head of the Privy Councilor, the family should be confiscated and exterminated!

However, Wang Jun himself knew that his ideas were unrealistic. First of all, Chang Si held heavy troops and was close to the Northern Han area. If he really forced this person to rush to Taiyuan with his troops, the door of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be opened, and the Central Plains had just been restored for a few days, and there would definitely be another war.

Secondly, Chang Feihu has made great contributions to the country, and has a strong personal relationship with Fu Laolang, Gao Baima and others. If the court easily dealt with Chang Si, it would inevitably cause reactions from the princes in other places, which would definitely affect the whole body!

Again, it is the attitude of the civil and military officials in the court towards this matter. Those jealous and capable people are eager to read their jokes! Chang Si just did something they had always wanted to do and had not done. If they did not get Guo Wei's support, it would be impossible for Chang Si to apologize, let alone let the civil and military officials in the court pass a court discussion and send troops to attack Zelu and the two prefectures!

Thinking of Chang Si spitting on his face, the gloating eyes of civil and military officials in the court. Wang Jun felt extremely resentful! What did he do wrong? What he did was not for this court or this country! Those short-sighted court officials only saw Zheng Ziming's feat of sacrificing himself to save his father, but did not think that if such a person came back safely and became the governor of Zhenji, and then echoed his father-in-law Chang Si, the court would completely lose control of Hedong and Hebei! The territory of the Great Zhou was invisibly reduced by one third! Even his internal control could not be stable. How could he resist the Khitan in the north and sweep Jingchu in the south and reorganize the fallen Jiuzhou into one?

"Brother Xiufeng, I have discovered something in the past few days when I read historical books!" When I was so aggrieved that I couldn't describe it, Guo Wei's voice came from Wang Jun's ears. It was not very high, but every word was like a needle. "Whether it is Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu who reshapes the Han Dynasty, or Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu who defeated all the heroes and laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, he has a very grand demeanor and never worried that his subordinates are better than himself. Those who see that their subordinates make some contributions and start to prevent problems from escalating, usually it is difficult for the country to last for a long time. It is already very lucky to be able to kill for two lifetimes. There are about eight out of ten, and before they die, they already..."

"I didn't guard against Zheng Ziming against the gradual progress! I didn't deliberately leak the news of his trip to Liaodong to the Khitans!" Before Guo Wei finished speaking, Wang Jun jumped up like he was stepped on his tail and waved his arms to defend himself.

However, after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his actions were slightly more obvious. He suddenly became angry and his face turned red, stamped his feet, and gasped, "If your Majesty suspects that the old minister has secretly colluded with the Khitans, he will be put in prison. As long as the evidence is conclusive, even if the old minister dies, he will never shout unjustly!"

"What is Brother Xiufeng saying? Have I ever doubted you? I am not Liu Chengyou, how could I kill the entire Privy Councilor without guilt?!" Guo Wei was startled by Wang Jun's sudden anger, turned around and looked at the other party, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Then Your Majesty said just now that you can't prevent the problem from being experiencing some contributions when you see your subordinates make some contributions! Who else has targeted Zheng Ziming except for the old minister?" Wang Jun stubbornly, seven were dissatisfied and eight were resentful.

He could swear to the heaven that the news that Zheng Ziming sneaked into Liaodong was leaked to the Khitan's careful work, and it was definitely not him. He just didn't instruct the Privy Council to keep it strictly confidential, that's all! If it was really his own actions, Zheng Ziming and his son would not have the chance to return to Cangzhou alive!

"You did target Zheng Ziming before! But I believe you, Wang Xiufeng, wouldn't be so despicable! You should use the Khitans to harm your comrades!" Guo Wei's voice came again, and continued to poke Wang Xiufeng's heart like a needle. "Okay, Brother Xiufeng, the news leak is also true."

"It's not an old minister, I'm willing to let the court investigate!" Wang Jun's face was so red that it almost dripped. He clenched his fists and waved his way in front of him. "The old minister has been strictly investigating leaks these days. But, your Majesty must leave some time for the old minister."

The news leak is a fact. The news that Zheng Ziming sneaked into Liaodong was indeed deliberately leaked to the Liao Kingdom. The accuracy of the news was shocking, and even the details of the water intake road being sent up against the current were sent out at an unexpected speed.

The total number of people who can grasp the details to such a level from the front line to the court was less than twenty. Among these twenty people, only Zheng Ziming had the worst relationship and had been trying to suppress this son and limit the development space of this son. Therefore, Chang Si spitted on his head in front of the civil and military officials on the day of his army and offering prisoners. Therefore, almost all the civil and military officials secretly gave Chang Si a thumbs up at Chang Si instead of standing up for accusing him of roaring the court!

"You don't need to investigate, I won't investigate again!" Guo Wei's words continued to come from his ears, with a bit of compromise, but made Wang Jun feel cold. "I don't plan to investigate this matter in depth. Zheng Ziming has come back. If this matter continues to be investigated, it is meaningless except for the civil and military officials that disturb everyone. I just sighed, why such a dirty thing happened less than a year after my Great Zhou was established. I used the Khitan sword to kill my general, and I was so at ease and work together! My Great Zhou, my Great Zhou, even a river fish should not rot so quickly after it came out of the water!"

After that, I had a hint of sadness and anger. Many of the words that Wang Jun had organized into his throat instantly lost their meaning and effect. He gritted his teeth, looked bitter, and pondered for a long time. He then suppressed his anger and sighed and explained: "Your Majesty can have such a demeanor and mind, which is a blessing for all officials. I can swear to heaven that I have never deliberately leaked Zheng Ziming's whereabouts. The old minister admitted that he was too careless about this matter at the beginning and did not strictly limit the number of people who knew about it. In the Privy Council, too many old people from the previous dynasty were left. If someone had originally had a grudge against Zheng Ziming, or thought that it would be more beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty to get rid of Zheng Ziming for the court, then..."

"What I am worried about is the latter!" Guo Wei raised his fist and pounded it heavily on the window frame, which made the eaves of the house fall. "Even though he is jealous of the virtuous, he feels that he is devoted to the country. Once this idea spreads, it is hard to say whether I can guarantee that I will not follow Shi Chonggui's footsteps in the future!"

"This..." Wang Jun's heart twitched, he quietly took two steps back, and two bright reds appeared on his cheeks again. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said very well, this wind should not last long!"

"So, whether you say I am indulging or compensating. No matter how grand Zheng Ziming wants to organize the wedding this time, I will not interfere. Alas, I owe him, and I and you actually owe him!"

"This..." Wang Jun suddenly frowned again, his face full of confusion, "Your Majesty, how can these two things be confused? Although Zheng Ziming made great contributions to the state, he hid him after saving his father and hid him, and claimed to the public that the father and son's behavior of being separated halfway was a real deception of the emperor. His Majesty, thinking that he had made great contributions, turned a blind eye to his behavior and closed it. And he should not let him..."

"Oh! Brother Xiufeng, do you think if Zheng Ziming told me truthfully that he would rescue Shi Chonggui and be placed on an island that no one could find. How should I deal with it?" Guo Wei sighed quietly and interrupted in a low voice.

"Of course, of course..." Wang Jun clenched his fists and waved his chest. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered the army under Chang Si and Zheng Ziming. He immediately put the words back into his stomach, shook his head and sighed.

"Oh--" Guo Wei sighed, looking at the water surface, and added quietly, "If I knew that Shi Chonggui was back, but chose not to listen, someone would definitely laugh at me for being timid and timid, and would not even be able to tolerate an old man without a soldier. But if I placed Shi Chonggui in Bianliang, even if he was supported by a high-ranking official and generous salary, what would it be if someone secretly harmed him like he did when dealing with Zheng Ziming before, under the banner of sharing my worries for me? Brother Xiufeng, you should be able to calculate it without thinking carefully! So, it would be better for both sides to pretend to be confused! I will listen to whatever Zheng Ziming said. In the future, Shi Chonggui will die or live, and it will be a matter of an old man from the people, and it has nothing to do with the country!"

"Yes!" Wang Jun was finally convinced and nodded with a wry smile.

The champion general, Zhenji Jiedushi, Chen Tuan's disciple, Chang Si's son-in-law, and his extraordinary achievements in defeating the Khitan army many times, led more than 30 people to the glorious deeds of Qianli, Liaodong. Before he knew it, the little guy who could kill him at will had turned into a giant. Anything that involves the safety of the people around him must be handled with caution. Otherwise, the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of rapid footsteps came from his ears. When he turned around, he saw Feng Dao, deputy entourage envoy who was on duty in the Privy Council of Japan, hurriedly walked in.

"Mr. Chang Le, why are you here? What urgent thing happened!" Wang Jun was quite afraid of this person, and hurriedly called everyone to give him nicknames and asked in a low voice.

"I am very happy, I am very happy. I congratulate you for Your Majesty, the Great Zhou, and the people of the world!" The Deputy Envoy of the Privy Councilor of the Great Zhou, many senior officials of the Central Plains who served the late Khitan emperor, and the role model in the dreams of countless scholars. Chang Le's old man Feng Dao bowed down, and the wrinkles on his face began to shine.

"Why is there? Duke Yingguo, don't just spend time trying to make me happy!" Like Wang Jun, Guo Wei looked down on Feng Dao in his heart. He just endured this person's qualifications and abilities and had to leave a high position for him. But he had no intention of entrusting him with important tasks and was devoted to it.

"Old minister, the old minister just received a letter from the Zhenji Jiedushi. He recommended Zhao Kuangyin, Fu Zhaoxu and Gao Huaide to serve as the governors of Shenzhou, Zhaozhou and Jizhou! The four brothers are willing to work together to take charge of the northern portal for the country!" Feng Dao was so excited that he bowed again, and added loudly in a hoarse voice.
