Chapter 2658 The ability to reverse black and white is really not covered.
Zheng Yuanshou did not expect to meet this person at this time, so he laughed and replied with a smile.
"My eldest son, Changsun, I am very polite. Yes, I do have something that I would like to discuss with you."
"These old friends also came here to visit your father. Didn't they bother you?"
"No, no, let's lead you in..."
Just as Changsun Wuji was sighing, he heard a burst of noisy footsteps coming over.
As far as the eye could see, he saw a group of people from aristocratic families headed by Zheng Yuanshou.
He could only cheer up, take a few steps forward with a smile, and invite them into the room to talk.
As for his biological son Changsun Chong, he was sent away by him.
When the refreshments were served, Changsun Wuji spoke in an unhurried manner.
"All the gentlemen are here together, but what's the important matter?"
"Did Mr. Zhao not receive the news yet?" an old man asked in astonishment.
"what news?"
Zheng Yuanshou coughed and then spoke slowly.
"Mr. Zhao knows that there is new news coming from Jinyang. After receiving it, I originally thought it was a joke.
I don’t really care, but all the old friends present also received the same amount of news last night.”
"This old man felt that this matter was unusual, so he came to see Mr. Zhao to ask for his advice."
As soon as the topic changed, the news came directly from Jinyang about the sudden movement of the army of guards and their transfer to Jinyang Palace to defend the palace.
He also recounted the news that just one day after Cheng Sanlang arrived at Jinyang Palace, the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses began to secretly purchase all kinds of things used by Bai Xi in Jinyang City.
While Zheng Yuanshou was speaking, he observed the changes in Changsun Wuji's expression from the corner of his eye.
It's a pity that from beginning to end, Changsun Wuji was just like a withered wooden body, with no strange reaction at all.
This made Zheng Yuanshou directly certain that Changsun Wuji must have known about this matter through his own channels.
"...Mr. Zhao, if your Majesty really has an emergency, I would like to ask Gong Zhao to give you an idea on what to do next."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, you are His Majesty's most trusted minister and your Majesty's appointed auxiliary minister.
Now that His Majesty has had an accident outside, at this time, it is better to ask Duke Zhao to come out and take charge of the overall situation in order to stabilize the situation of the court."
Looking at the words of this group of wealthy families, one by one, they spoke so plausibly, as if their words and deeds were all concerned about the country and the people, and they were worried about the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Wuji felt extremely disgusted when he heard this. He patted his gum a few times impatiently and finally made the room quiet, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Why are you so modest? Why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"
#####
Seeing the chief minister of Lingyan Pavilion whose expression had not changed much, Zheng Yuanshou exchanged glances with the talkers from the wealthy families.
Wang Kui, the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, stood up, first saluted Changsun Wuji, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Zhao, it seems that your Majesty is already in danger. However, the country cannot live without a king for a day."
"Mr. Zhao, you are His Majesty's most trusted assistant minister, your Majesty's best friend, and even more so the Queen's brother."
"At this moment, Mr. Zhao, you should stand up and help the country."
Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard without any expression, and his voice was emotionless.
"The prince is in Jiangnan and the grandson is in Jinyang. Even if someone wants to help the country..."
"Mr. Zhao!" Before Changsun Wuji could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Yuanshou.
"Mr. Zhao, in extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Your Majesty's arrangements and layouts in the past are all in the past."
"Now, the eldest prince and Cheng Yaojin are acting wantonly in the south of the Yangtze River, hunting down officials from various states and counties.
By behaving like this, they are clearly trying to bring trouble to the Tang Dynasty and shake the foundation of the country."
Everyone in the study heard the title of eldest prince. Even though Changsun Wuji had always been calm, at this moment, he couldn't help but his breath stopped and his eyebrows twitched.
Seeing the look Changsun Wuji was looking at, Zheng Yuanshou, who had no way out, continued to talk.
"They have already caused widespread resentment among the people in the land south of the Yangtze River. They have also made all the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River and even the world fearful and uneasy."
"If he is really a kind and respectful prince, why didn't he return early when he heard that His Majesty was ill in Jinyang?"
"It happened that he had to wait until His Majesty was seriously ill before he hurriedly raised troops to go north. His intentions are sinister and his methods are vicious. Can't Mr. Zhao still see it?"
"He clearly intends to use the evil hands of Cheng Yaojin to kill all the loyal ministers who stayed in the capital..."
"..." Changsun Wuji stared blankly at Zheng Yuanshou, who was so eloquent and spitting.
His Majesty once described him as a contemporary Su Wu and Zhang Qian's loyal minister. However, he was able to openly say such despicable and heart-breaking words here. His ability to confuse right and wrong is really not something he can do.
This made Changsun Wuji have to admire this old guy, he was really shameless.
"We are already old and disabled, and if we want to kill or cut into pieces, we have no complaints."
"Looking at the behavior of the eldest prince and Cheng Yaojin, it is clear that they regard us and other aristocratic families as enemies."
"If the eldest prince is really allowed to ascend to Dabao and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can we and other aristocratic families survive in the future?"
"It's Duke Zhao, it's the Changsun family, I'm afraid..."
#####
"...Everyone, have you ever thought about it, even if someone supports His Highness King Jin to ascend the throne as emperor.
But there are not no opponents in Luoyang City."
"The Duke of Yun is of the same mind as we are, not only the Duke of Yun who holds Zuo Jinwu's heavy guards.
And General Guo Xun, the guard of the left prison who is in charge of the defense of the palace, is also on our side."
"In this way, the entire Luoyang City garrison is in our hands."
"No one among the civil and military officials who stayed in the capital can match Duke Zhao in terms of qualifications and prestige.
As long as Mr. Zhao can raise his arms and give a shout, he will surely have many followers..."
"As long as His Royal Highness the King of Jin ascends the throne as emperor in Luoyang, will the guards of the Tang Dynasty dare not obey orders?"
#####
Nearly two hours had passed before Zheng Yuanshou, the head of the Zheng clan in Xingyang with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, walked quickly towards the door of the mansion with relief.
Behind him were those talkative people from aristocratic families who also looked high-spirited and energetic.
However, some people seemed worried at the moment.
"Zheng Weng, although Changsun Wuji reluctantly agreed to this matter, no one can guarantee that he will regret it later."
"His eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of King Jin and the biological brother of empress eldest grandson. He is also the person Li Er trusts the most."
"We can only use his help to help King Jin ascend to the throne."
"Until His Highness Prince Jin secures his position, we have no conflict of interest with Changsun Wuji."
"It's not too late to talk about the future."
"My dear nephew, please quickly go and inform Duke Yun and ask him to control the Jinwu Guards to prevent any trouble."
