Chapter 2649 If His Royal Highness the Prince leads the army, what should he do?
Zhang Liang looked at Zheng Yuanshou's expression of regret with a confused look on his face, and couldn't help but take a look at his clothes.
She is quite decent, whether it is the way she ties her accessories, the way she ties her belt, or the way she wears her robes, everything is consistent with her identity.
You know, I went out of my way to freshen up and dress up before coming here today.
"Mr. Yun doesn't understand the meaning of old age?"
"Zhang really doesn't know what Zheng Weng means, and I would like to ask Zheng Weng for some clear guidance."
Seeing Zhang Liang's confused look, Zheng Yuanshou couldn't help but feel confused.
However, considering that this guy comes from a humble farming family, his cultural literacy is definitely not high, and he cannot hear so many twists and turns.
After gesturing to Duke Yun to sit down, he spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"Well, since Mr. Yun doesn't understand, I won't go around in circles. Does Mr. Yun know what kind of person your Majesty hates the most?"
"What kind of person?" Zhang Liang was slightly stunned and then laughed calmly.
"Of course he is a person who disobeys the Holy Will and betrays the Lord."
Think about the former Hou Junji who contributed to the destruction of the Tang Dynasty because that guy was too selfish and wanted to kill the prince.
Therefore, I offended His Majesty and executed him directly. Fortunately, Your Majesty was kind and righteous, and spared the lives of his wife and children, so that he could have descendants who could offer sacrifices and pass on the incense.
"Then what you have done, Mr. Yun, do you think His Majesty can leave you a way to survive?"
Zheng Yuanshou suddenly said such an unexpected sentence, which caused the smile on Zhang Liang's face, which was originally talking and laughing, to disappear quickly.
He stared straight at Zheng Yuanshou. After a long time, Zhang Liang gave a forced smile.
"Zheng Weng, please don't joke with me. Such a joke is not funny at all."
Zheng Yuanshou chuckled and asked unhurriedly.
"Why, Mr. Yun, do you think that at such an old age, you are waiting for Mr. Yun to come to meet you in my nephew's house, just to joke with Mr. Yun?"
"That's all, Zhang originally invited Mr. Zheng, thinking that they were both from the same hometown, so he came here to meet him, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zheng would have such an attitude."
"Then take your leave." Zhang Liang snorted coldly, stood up, and was about to walk out of the study.
But as soon as he turned around, he happened to see a Taoist priest standing outside the study door.
Seeing this Taoist priest with three long strands of beard, who looked like an immortal, he forced out a flattering smile and saluted him respectfully.
"Pindao has seen Dong Weng..." In an instant, Zhang Liang's face turned pale.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the uncle and nephew Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Shilang with fierce eyes.
"What do you mean?!"
Zheng Shilang stood up and saluted Zhang Liang, who was in a particularly agitated mood at the moment, with a very sincere expression.
"Don't be upset, Mr. Yun. My uncle also has good intentions and has no intention of harming Mr. Yun..."
"Do you really think Zhang is a fool?!"
Zheng Yuanshou still looked unhurried, smiling calmly as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
"If Mr. Yun doesn't want his secret to be spread around, how about you please sit down and let me say a few more words?"
"..."
An hour later, Zhang Liang left the Zheng Mansion with the Second Young Master Zheng personally seeing him off, looking a little lost.
When leaving the house, it took three times to successfully get on the horse. When he turned around, he saw the second young master Zheng standing on the steps with no faults in his demeanor.
Zhang Liang had no choice but to force out a smile, and then he rode away angrily.
In my mind, the Taoist priest who knew all kinds of secrets about me appeared over and over again.
#####
"I wonder if Zheng Weng has any other instructions?"
Cheng Gongying, the Taoist priest Zhang Liang had trusted for many years, smiled humbly at Zheng Yuanshou and asked cautiously.
"Thank you for your hard work. You just need to stay here and meditate these days. Just be at ease.
The old man said that if you want to keep you rich and safe for the rest of your life, you can definitely do it."
"Yes, yes, thank you Zheng Weng. I naturally believe in Zheng Weng's credibility."
"Okay, you go down first. If anything happens, I will call you again."
"Uncle, if we do this, will we be forcing it too much?"
Zheng Shilang watched the departing figure of Cheng Gongying disappear outside the study door, and couldn't help but ask his uncle Zheng Yuanshou.
"After all, Zhang Liang is also an important minister whom Your Majesty trusts, but he has not shown any signs of betrayal. If he goes to Your Majesty..."
"Haha, Minzhi, I had dealings with Duke Zhang Yun in my early years when I was still in the court."
"Don't think that he is really some unyielding warrior. This man is good at pretending to be honest on the outside, but he is actually deceitful.
After entering Wagang Village in his early years, he became a subordinate of Li Ji. He followed Li Ji to the Tang Dynasty and was awarded the title of Dingzhou Biejiao.
He is not good at running the army, but he has some skills in running the people. He is also good at flattering people and has good luck, so he can rise to high positions step by step."
"He is timid and cowardly by nature. Otherwise, how could he do such a shameful act as adopting his wife's adulterous wife as his adopted son?"
"Although he is not very courageous, he is very conceited and easily bewitched by the witchcraft..."
"All in all, this officer has already fallen into our hands with such information, and if we try to lure him to gain advantage, there is no reason why he should not surrender."
After hearing the words of this scheming uncle, Zheng Shilang nodded in agreement and then said.
"Uncle, since we have secretly joined forces with Changsun Wuji, and now hold Zhang Liang hostage, doesn't this mean..."
"Don't worry, wait a moment, there is no movement from the one in the south yet.
If His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly comes north, it means that something big has happened in Jinyang Palace."
Zheng Shilang understood what this cousin meant, if His Royal Highness was still wandering leisurely in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
This proves that although the physical condition of His Majesty who is staying in Jinyang in the north has some problems, it is within control.
But what if the prince in the south hurriedly led his army back to Luoyang before he could finish dealing with the assassination in Jiangdu Palace?
Naturally, this proves that there may be a serious problem with His Majesty's physical condition, and the Crown Prince can only be asked to return to the imperial capital to take charge of the overall situation.
If something like this really happens, then it will be a perfect opportunity for the aristocratic families to work together to start something big.
"Uncle, what should we do if His Highness the Crown Prince comes with an army?"
Zheng Yuanshou chuckled. "Cheng Yaojin's Zuotunwei army, how could it be that they could make it all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to Luoyang without eating or drinking?"
"If Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he dared to launch an army to plunder, he would be committing injustice..."
"My nephew understands that in this way, I will be sure of victory." Zheng Shilang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look happy.
