The King of Yue gave the Emperor a gift, which is said to be called a dragon.

The emperor personally fed the dragon and threw some chickens in. He laughed endlessly as he watched the dragon bite the live chickens.

But in the afternoon, his mood changed. Lei Lei was furious and scolded several of the servants around him.

"Why is this?"

Liang Jing asked.

The palace servant next to the imperial concubine said: "Jingtai sent news from Northern Xinjiang, saying that he attacked without permission, and your Majesty was furious."

"Attack without permission?"

The Ministry of War should have news about this matter.

Liang Jing hurried back.

"Is your husband here?"

"Prime Minister Zhang is on duty."

Zhang Huan is reading the news.

"Zhang Xiang."

Liang Jing is here.

"Message conveyed by the mirror." Zhang Huan handed over a piece of paper. Liang Jing took it, glanced at it, and sighed: "Our Ministry of War just sent people to ease the relationship, but we didn't expect it! Chen Zhou took the initiative and destroyed it.

Control the Tiger Department."

"Not only!" Zhang Huan said: "Even the Tanzhou army was killed by thousands."

"Hey!" Liang Jing looked at the back carefully, "This is..."

"Great victory!"

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and fair complexion appeared outside the door.

"Shilang Zheng."

Zhang Huan, Minister of the Ministry of War, had two ministers, one was Liang Jing, and the other was this middle-aged man, Zheng Yuandong.

"I've met Zhang Xiang."

Zheng Yuandong handed over his hand, and Liang Jing handed him the news and said: "What's the use of a great victory? The relationship between Northern Xinjiang and His Majesty is getting worse and worse."

Zheng Yuandong looked at it carefully, raised his head and said, "Why the discord? Isn't it just to promote Southern Xinjiang and check and balance Northern Xinjiang? There is nothing wrong with the balance in the court, to check and balance the army. Is this because you think that the Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world?"

Liang Jing said calmly: "You think something is wrong?"

Zheng Yuandong squinted at him, "Yes!"

Liang Jing participated in the government affairs as the minister of the Ministry of War, and he could be called a holy family member. However, Zheng Yuandong's background was not bad. His ancestor was a hero in the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Now that he is here, he has inherited the title of Guang Linbo.

The nobles are a huge group. Even though most of them seem to be eating and waiting to die, the strength they have gathered makes even the entire family look at them with suspicion.

Therefore, officials who had passed the imperial examinations and became official officials did not dare to discuss this matter, but nobles, clans, and people with five surnames in the family did so unscrupulously.

Liang Jing sneered and went out.

"Why did you bother to offend him?" Zhang Huan said.

"Liang Jing relied on his imperial concubine to be favored, and acted unscrupulously in the Ministry of War and in the court. If that's all, that's it. This person also interfered in major border affairs... Was it his decision to send someone to Northern Xinjiang last time?"

"Yes." Zhang Huan smiled bitterly, "I didn't realize the road was difficult until I got to Chang'an."

When he was in southern Xinjiang, he didn't say anything, but he was still a giant with great authority.

But after arriving in Chang'an, he was not used to everything. The various conflicts in the officialdom, intrigues, and various forces... made him regret it a little.

From the beginning, we should have stayed in southern Xinjiang.

But he knew that it would be difficult for him to stay in southern Xinjiang.

Yang Songcheng wants his son-in-law Zhang Chumao to take the throne, and the emperor needs the King of Yue to make some noise in southern Xinjiang to contain King Wei... He is a military governor with an ordinary background and does not have a powerful force behind him to rely on. He will become a fish in the pond if he is not careful.

Liang Jing came in again, accompanied by several officials.

"The mirror just sent news."

As the emperor's favorite, Liang Jing conveniently held on to the mysterious news in others' eyes.

"After the defeat of the Tanzhou army, He Lianrong, the governor of Tanzhou, apologized to Ning Xing, but vowed to take revenge. Now, we are in trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Zheng Yuandong asked.

A man behind Liang Jing sneered: "Once Beiliao uses troops in Chenzhou, Northern Xinjiang will be dragged in. When the battle begins, who will defend the enemy?"

"If it's not the Northern Xinjiang Army, could it be you?" Zheng Yuandong said calmly.

"The Tang Dynasty needs to cultivate and recuperate!" The man was Liang Jing's staff, named Sun Hai.

"I remember that Empress Congwu of the Tang Dynasty was recuperating, right?"

Sun Hai was a little annoyed by these words, "The Ministry of Household Affairs cannot make ends meet every year, and the Ministry of Works complains every day. How can we fight against the Northern Liao Dynasty without money, food and weapons? Should we let the soldiers go hungry and empty-handed?"

"Where did the money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs go?" Zheng Yuandong asked, "Also, why does the Ministry of Industry have no weapons? It's short of money? Where did the money go?

I remember that a while ago, someone suggested that some of the palaces in the palace were old and should be demolished and rebuilt. Others suggested that the pear garden was too small and should be expanded... Where did the money and food come from? "

"That's your Majesty's expense!" Sun Hai sneered, thinking that if you have the ability, you can continue to complain.

"How could His Majesty spend so much money without the encouragement of such villains?"

"Who do you want to talk about?" Liang Jing was annoyed. The former bad boy rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a full martial arts show.

"Whoever is the successor of Te Niang will be blamed!" Zheng Yuandong was born in a noble family and also practiced cultivation. "Shilang Liang wants to practice with me?"

Sun Hai was happy when he heard this, thinking that the opportunity to show his loyalty to Shilang Liang would come, right?

He pointed at Zheng Yuandong and shouted: "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Yuandong looked at him.

Raise your hands.

Snap!

"Slap you!"

Immediately there was a commotion, Zhang Huan stood in the middle, and called for help, and finally persuaded Liang Jing to leave.

"Why bother?" Zhang Huan was panting after trying to persuade him.

Zheng Yuandong sat down and flexed his wrist, "Someone wants to take advantage of the stalemate between His Majesty and Northern Xinjiang to take action."

"Northern Xinjiang?"

Compared with the well-informed nobles like Zheng Yuandong, Zhang Huan is almost ignorant of some things.

"Well!" Zheng Yuandong took a sip of tea, "Last year, His Majesty sent someone to diagnose Huang Chunhui's pulse. The doctor was best at judging life and death. This person came back and said that Huang Chunhui's life was not long."

"No wonder His Majesty endured that tone."

"It stands to reason that Huang Chunhui and the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang should be furious." Zheng Yuandong's face became more sarcastic, "Liao Jin has expressed his stance and will still follow Huang Chunhui's path. Someone went to the prison to find Liao Jin's son, so that

He wrote to Beijiang, hinting at Liao Jin, but Liao Jin did not reply."

"When those people threatened him with his son's corruption case and asked him to slander Huang Chunhui, Liao Jin agreed in person, but after entering the court, he told the matter in front of the court. Such people have great righteousness in their hearts and will not

If you bow your head for this, those people are nothing but villains!"

Zhang Huan shook his head, "I was wrong. He is not a villain, but a domineering one!" He frowned slightly, "It's okay for you and Liang Jing to make trouble, but in your words, you seem to be dissatisfied with His Majesty...

…and be careful!”

Although Xungui was powerful, he was so unscrupulous that the emperor would not allow him to wear small shoes!

Zheng Yuandong said: "If there is injustice, there will be anger. Zhang Xiang also frightened the foreigners in southern Xinjiang..."

Zhang Huan said calmly: "It's all over."

Zheng Yuandong stood up and said, "If Liang Jing comes here to seek bad luck, I will take full responsibility for it."

He immediately left the military headquarters.

"Shilang Zheng!"

"I've met Mr. Zheng!"

Zheng Yuandong nodded slightly.

After finding a place to change into casual clothes, Zheng Yuandong went to Daodefang, walked around several times, and found a house.

Knock knock knock!

Three knocks on the door.

There were footsteps coming from inside, "Have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat the sheep's head."

Squeak!

The door opened and a man nodded, "Shilang Zheng."

"Is Zhao Sanfu here?"

"Here, drinking."

Zheng Yuandong went all the way in.

In the study, Zhao Sanfu cooked lamb over a charcoal fire, making the room very smoky.

Zheng Yuandong walked in, and Zhao Sanfu didn't look up. He used a knife to cut a piece of mutton and handed it over.

Zheng Yuandong took it and ate it, then sat down and said, "Your news is unreliable!"

Zhao Sanfu looked up. Now that he had a short beard, he looked a little more mature, "Why didn't Zhang Huan take over?"
