Chapter 768 Want to be a fisherman(2/2)
"If Zhang Chumao dares to rebel, he will dare to kill all the Yang family. If the country is gone, why should he be afraid of all the five surnames in the family? Just kill them all." Zheng Yuandong knew that the emperor was so ruthless.
"The opportunity has come." Zhao Sanfu said: "Once Northern Xinjiang escapes his control, the world will be in turmoil. This is also our opportunity."
Zheng Yuandong nodded, "I went to see that person later, and there was a glimmer of light in the sky. Our persistence also bore fruit. It can be seen that there is God's will in this.
The spirit in heaven that honors the emperor is protecting him and us."
Later, he sent the news to King Zhen Li Xin.
"I already know the news." Li Xin clenched his fist, "Yang Xuan is in charge of Northern Xinjiang. The puppet emperor is panicked. We must seize the time to recruit people. Once the world is in chaos, it will be our opportunity."
"Yes." Zheng Yuandong glanced at him with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
How can such a temperament rule the world?
After he left, Jiang Yu came in and said, "Zheng Yuandong's palace is deep, so the king should be careful about him."
"At this time, demons and monsters will come out. Zheng Yuandong's city is deep, but what can one minister do?
After the king ascends the throne, he will be reused first and let him fight with the ministers, be the vanguard for the king, and drive away the enemies.
After the deed is accomplished, he will be given a high-ranking official title to make him arrogant. He will inevitably get carried away with his pride.
Once something goes wrong, the remnants of the enemy will be impeached, and if I take action again, the remnants of the enemy will naturally shed tears of gratitude and their hearts will turn to you. In this way, you kill two birds with one stone."
This is the art of the emperor.
It is also the art of balancing.
This is what Li Mi is best at.
Zheng Yuandong then went to see Yong Wang Li Zhen.
"Hey! Poor Tang Dynasty, there are so many disasters." Li Zhen looked worried, "If the emperor gets angry about this, will I be implicated?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zheng Yuandong said, "Northern Xinjiang is where the Emperor is concerned."
Li Zhen's chubby face became more relaxed, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work."
"I dare not express my sorrow." Zheng Yuandong looked at the former prince with mixed emotions, "I have been waiting for many years and finally saw hope."
"Yes!" Zheng Yuandong's eyes flickered, "Your Majesty, please bear with me."
Li Zhen nodded, "I have been waiting for many years. I don't care if I wait a little longer. It's a pity that I can't go to Gongling to worship. Otherwise, I should tell Aye the good news."
"After the matter is done, I can go naturally." Zheng Yuandong felt that this was not the time for children to have a long relationship.
"By the way." Li Zhen changed the topic, "Can you win over Yang Xuan?"
Zheng Yuandong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very keen. Yang Xuan was born in poverty and had a hard time growing up. After arriving in Chang'an, he entered the Imperial College by chance, and everything went smoothly. He is quite capable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is both civil and military. But if you want to win over this person,
People are difficult.”
"Why?"
"This person has no worries."
"I understand. What about the Zhou family?"
"The Zhou family is in Chang'an."
"If the Zhou family dares to act unscrupulously to help, the emperor will dare to act unscrupulously to suppress the Zhou family."
"This is a containment." Zheng Yuandong felt that this was a situation that could affect the whole body. "If you want to win over Yang Xuan, you must let him see the benefits. For him at the moment, the biggest benefit is to contain Chang'an and bring peace to the north.
Xinjiang supports.
But now that Yang Xuan is in Chang'an, almost everyone in the court wants to beat him up. Anyone who supports him will become a street rat and become notorious.
But your Majesty, there is no need to worry. With the emperor and the Yang family and other aristocratic families around, no matter how great Yang Xuan is, he has to be restrained."
"The two sides are fighting..." Li Zhen smiled, "I want to be that fisherman!"
"The King is wise." This is what Zheng Yuandong admires most about King Yong. He pretends to be weak and timid, and his acting skills are superb. When it is time to make a decision, he is decisive and sharp.
"In this case, Yang Xuan is the pioneer for the king. If he succeeds in the future, I will leave a chance for him."
"Your Majesty is merciful."
Li Zhen's brows relaxed, and the years of depression gradually dissipated, and he sighed, "What a pity, I really want to see it."
…
Gongling.
After coming from Han Shitou, the birds stopped for a while, and soon they started throwing feces at the sacrificers again.
There are officials in Gongling. The leader is the doctor Zhang Bo. The general is the school captain Chen Lin.
Early in the morning, we should have gone to offer sacrifices, burn incense, and pay tribute. It was rumored that the death of Emperor Xiao Jing was inseparable from the current Supreme Emperor and the current Emperor, so the officials in charge of Gongling Mausoleum did not dare to neglect it.
Zhang Bo changed into his official uniform and said with a headache: "I have to clean it again today."
He had to preside over the incense offering. After a burst of bird droppings, he had to change clothes and take a shower when he came back, which was very troublesome.
Think about it, how long does it take to wash and dry long hair?
"Mr. Zhang." Chen Lin came.
It also wears a helmet and armor. Unlike the official uniform, the armor only needs to be wiped off.
"Captain Chen." Zhang Bo sighed: "At this moment, I want to be a military commander more."
"Let's live in the next life!" Chen Lin said with a smile, "By the way, there is news."
"What?"
"Over in Northern Xinjiang, Liao Jin followed Princess Ningcheng and left Taoxian County. Now, Yang Xuan controls it."
"This... the Tang Dynasty is going to be in chaos." Zhang Bo was stunned.
A clerk said from the front: "Mr. Zhang, everything is ready."
Zhang Bo smiled bitterly, "Hey! I'm going to have a fight now."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "It's good to go."
There is nothing wrong with this place. It is no different from being exiled here, so there are fewer disputes.
Chen Lin was good at playing the xun, so he took out the xun and they both stepped forward.
After approaching the stone monument, a flock of birds appeared in the sky, chirping.
Chen Lin knelt down and started to play the xun.
The sound of the xun was distant, and the sergeants and minor officials on both sides stood with their hands tied.
Zhang Bo lit three sticks of incense and saluted.
He muttered, "Your Majesty, Northern Xinjiang Yang Xuan and Your Majesty are at odds with each other. I'm afraid Northern Xinjiang no longer belongs to the Tang Dynasty."
He stepped forward and prepared to put the incense in the incense burner.
At this time in the past, the birds would start dropping their feces, raining down like drops, making it impossible for you to avoid it.
Zhang Bo is already ready.
But surprisingly, the bird poop didn't come.
He quickly put the incense in the incense burner and looked up in surprise.
Birds were hovering over the mausoleum.
Somehow, a sense of solemnity arose spontaneously.
The sound of the xun was faint, and the birds accompanied the sound of the xun, circling over the mausoleum again and again.
In front of the mausoleum, two rows of cypress trees stand solemnly, their branches and leaves moving leisurely in the wind.
As if, smiling...
