Chapter 299: Zheng Cairen

  Chapter 299 Zheng Cairen

   noon.

Qin Lang resigned from the Liangyi Hall and walked on the corridor in the palace, smiling wryly in his heart. He didn't know what Li Shimin was wrong. training, but not as a military officer-in-training, but as a trainer.

   This is puzzling.

  If he is asked to attend lectures and learn how to lead troops to fight, Qin Lang thinks it is necessary. After all, he is also a general's son, and it is also necessary to learn the art of warfare. But if you let him be the coach, it's a bit of a joke.

But the reason Li Shimin gave was that Qin Lang was the governor of Youzhou when he came here, and he was ordered to rectify the military affairs of the six prefectures of Youzhou, which was very effective. He defeated famous generals such as Wang Junkuo and Luo Yi, defeated Xie Shufang alone, and persuaded Xue Wanche, Feng Li and other fierce generals to surrender.

  Luo Yi, Wang Junkuo, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanche, Feng Li, etc. are all powerful generals in the world, so Qin Lang is naturally qualified to be the instructor of the Imperial Martial Arts Hall, imparting some experience and knowledge to the young military officers of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor even used Qin Lang's polo league as an example, saying that the Qin family's two polo teams performed well in the league, and both were promoted to one of the sixteen teams in the Super League. Waiting for many polo teams from the generals, but they can only be eliminated in the league's first- and second-tier teams.

  The emperor said that the Qin family team has military laws in offense and defense, and Qin Lang, as the head coach of the two teams, of course has good guidance.

  Although Qin Lang declined, the emperor still did not allow him to start attending the imperial training in three days and formally coach the whip.

Qin Lang secretly guessed that the emperor probably wanted to beat him up, so he probably didn't want to get closer, but after all, he was the Duke of the country who had been the prime minister for a hundred days, so Li Shimin gave him some face and didn't care. Let him be a student with a group of team leaders, but let him be a coach.

   Just as he was thinking, a group of people came in front of him.

   "I have seen Duke Yi!"

  Qin Lang heard a familiar voice and looked up, only to realize that it was a familiar yet somewhat strange person.

Zheng Shisanniang Zheng Wanyan, but now she is a talented person in the emperor's harem. It is said that she is very favored by the emperor. Looking at her lake green palace dress and the gold hairpin on her head, she looks graceful and luxurious, even a bit noble Leng Yan, shouting at the front and hugging at the back, is not the same as the abjection when they first met.

   "I pay my respects to Zheng Cairen!"

  Qin Lang looked at her with some complexities. He was almost engaged, then took her in later, and later she was bestowed by the emperor as his servant.

   I don't know if Zheng Wanyan is happy now, or if her current status is acceptable to her.

   Zheng Wanyan also stood there speechless and looked at Qin Lang.

  There are many things I want to ask him, and even want to accuse him, but in the end I can't say anything.

   "Send off Duke Yi!"

   "The minister resigns!"

  Qin Lang bowed his head and crossed his hands in salute.

   Zheng Wanyan bowed her head slightly in return, and then walked past accompanied by palace eunuchs.

   Neither of them turned back to look at each other.

  Qin Lang waited for the sound of footsteps to go away, raised his head, turned and left, and never looked back.

   Hall of Liangyi.

   Li Shimin saw Zheng Wanyan coming in, "Did you see Huailiang when you came?"

   "The concubine met Yi Guogong outside the hall and said hello."

  Li Shimin smiled, "Didn't you guys chat a little more?"

   "The concubine is actually not familiar with the Duke of Yi. Although he was kindly taken in by the Duke of Yi at the beginning, he went to the Duke of Qi's mansion to teach several female princes."

   "Actually, you don't have to be so careful, you and Huailiang have some predestined relationship. If, I mean, if, if you want, I can let Huailiang accept you as a concubine!"

  Zheng Wanyan knelt down, "If your majesty does not like your concubine, or suspects that your concubine had an affair with Duke Yi, please give me three feet of white silk or a cup of gold chips!"

   Seeing her decisive and straightforward words, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Just kidding, I now promote you to be a beauty, and bestow Linxian Temple on you."

Talented people, like beauties and Jieyu, have nine quotas each in the Tang harem, and belong to the twenty-seventh concubines under one empress and four concubines. A royal wife.

   But beauty is ranked fourth, talent is ranked fifth, which is one level higher.

   Zheng Wanyan thanked Jun En, but there didn't seem to be much joy on his face.

   "You can read the watch to me, I'm a little tired, I don't want to read it." Li Shimin said.

  So Zheng Wanyan stepped forward and began to take the seal that the emperor picked out from the imperial case, knelt down in front of the case, and began to recite for the emperor.

"The envoy of Zhenfu, Liang Qizuo, found out that when Pei Ji, the former prime minister, was dismissed and returned home to Fenyin, Xin Xing, a mad monk in Yin Yang, often made arrogant remarks with Pei Ji. Xin Xing often told Pei Ji's family children that Mr. Pei had talent. The house slave told Pei Ji about this, but Pei Ji did not report to His Majesty, but secretly ordered the house slave to respectfully kill the house boy who knew about it, and also kill Xinxing."

"But Gong Ming was afraid that Pei Ji would kill him to silence him afterwards, so he released the child who knew about it and Xinxing in private, and lied that he had killed him. Sure enough, not long after, Pei Ji claimed that Gong Ming embezzled Pei's family property and sent someone to arrest him. Gong Ming escaped , So I reported Pei Ji to our Zhenfu Division, and provided a lot of evidence, now our Zhenfu Division has controlled Gong Ming, Xinxing, and the number of children in Pei's family who knew about it..."

   Zheng Wanyan recited the content of the watch softly, feeling horrified in her heart.

   After listening, Li Shimin also stood up.

   "What crime do you say Pei Ji committed?"

   Zheng Wanyan bowed her head and remained silent.

"you say!"

   "The concubine dare not speak in vain. If the concubine discusses government affairs indiscriminately, the queen will directly beat the concubine to death."

   Li Shimin looked at her and didn't let her discuss it.

   "I say, you write."

"Pei Ji committed four capital crimes. First, the former three princes and prime ministers who were convicted and dismissed from office still made friends with demons. Second, after the incident, they angrily claimed that the prosperity of the country was conspired by him. Third, the demons claimed that he had talent. , but kept silent. Fourth, kill and silence."

   Zheng Wanyan hung his wrist with a pen and wrote down the words of the emperor on the jute paper.

"In the past, some people also said that Pei Ji conspired against him, but the Supreme Emperor thought of his righteous obedience. Not only did he not pursue it, but he even sent the noble concubine to reward him. Use blessings to show the heart of failure."

  The more Li Shimin talked, the more angry he became.

In Li Shimin's opinion, Li Yuan's affection for Pei Ji was too much. When he was in Jinyang, Li Yuan and Pei Ji slept together with the maids of Jinyang Palace. So later, when someone said that Pei Ji was rebelling, Li Yuan even sent concubines directly. Going to offer condolences, and then those three concubines are still staying in Pei Ji's mansion, this matter can be said to make Li Shimin extremely disgusted.

   Last time I gave Pei Ji a little bit of respect, but he was dismissed from office and nobility and took back the food reward.

   Unexpectedly, he is still so dishonest.

"Pei Ji often declared to the outside world that when he was young, his family was poor. He walked to Chang'an on foot. He passed Huayue Temple and prayed in the temple. He hoped that the gods would show his destiny and let the gods give him a good dream. I dreamed that a white-headed old man told him that he will be successful when he is over forty, and he will eventually become a very powerful minister."

   "A bunch of nonsense, monster talk!"

   "Write to me, Pei Ji will be exiled as a citizen, exiled to Jingzhou in the middle of Sichuan, his family property will be confiscated, all brothers, nephews and nephews will be exiled to Lingnan, and all his wives and daughters will not enter Yeting!"

   After Zheng Wanyan finished writing, he presented it to Li Shimin for viewing. After Li Shimin read it, he handed it over to the servant, and asked him to send it to the Hanlin Academy to be handed over to the on-duty Hanlin scholar. He drafted the official internal system based on this, and then handed it over to Zhang Liang, the town governor, for execution.

   Zheng Wanyan lowered her head with a cold face.

   My heart is full of turbulent waves.

   What a glorious time Pei Ji was during the reign of Wude, the Prime Minister, and later named Sangong, even if he was dismissed and his rewards were taken away, there are still thousands of hectares of fertile land accumulated over the years, and he still lives comfortably in his hometown in Hedong.

   Unexpectedly, even the first year of Zhenguan could not survive, the emperor finally liquidated him and uprooted him.

  At this time, she couldn't help but think of her Zheng family.

  The family's compromise was right after all, if not, Zheng's end would be the same as that of Pei Ji today.

  The case played by Zhang Liang can be big or small. A person like Pei Ji, even if he returns to the village, will have a high reputation. A doorman said something that shouldn't be said, and Pei Ji couldn't control it.

   Even if it is to kill slaves and maidservants to silence their mouths, it is not a serious crime, after all, domestic slaves are more lawful than livestock.

   "Pei Ji made friends with the demon Fa Ya before, and now he is cultivating the demon Fa Ya, and he will never repent!"

   Zheng Wanyan knelt and sat there without saying a word.

   After finishing his swearing, Li Shimin came to Zheng Wanyan, reached out and pinched her delicate chin to help her up.

   "Whether it's Pei Ji or Feng Lun, or some famous noble family, or a famous clan king, or a famous general on the battlefield, no matter who wants to conspire to betray me, they can't escape my eyes, and they will never end well!"

  Zheng Wanyan looked at the emperor coldly, "The concubine firmly believes what His Majesty said."

   "Your Zheng family has surrendered to me on the surface, but in private, you often whispered things that should be said or shouldn't be said."

  Li Shimin let go of his hand and returned to the imperial couch.

   "You haven't gone home to visit your relatives since you entered the palace, have you? Now that you have been promoted to beauty, I will allow you to go home to visit your relatives."

  Zheng Wanyan knew that the emperor wanted to use her mouth to intimidate the Zheng family in Xingyang.

   "The concubine thanked His Majesty for his great kindness, and explained His Majesty's kindness to the elders at home after returning home."

   "You bring a message to Zheng Shanguo for me. I want to give him the title of governor of Puzhou. Let him prepare and then take office. When you arrive in Puzhou, clean up the mess of Pei Ji's house for me."

   "Hasn't Your Majesty already handed over this matter to the Zhen Fusi?" Zheng Wanyan knew that the emperor wanted the Zheng family in Xingyang to come forward to clean up the dirty work of the Pei family.

"The Zhen Fusi is only responsible for locking up Pei Ji and exiling him to Jingzhou. As for the rest of the aftermath, let Zheng Shanguo, the new governor, do it. I hope that Zheng Shanguo will not let me down. He must clean up Pei Ji's residual poison and do it thoroughly. !"

   It is not so easy for the Zheng family to gain Li Shimin's true trust.

   You must submit a certificate of approval at the intersection!
