Great Tang Broom Star

Cai Ying passed people by, and continued to search for Zheng Yuandong.

Changsun Wuji, as the leader of the political arena of the Tang Dynasty, the staff around him perform their own duties, whether they are in charge of private affairs or public affairs, not only are they well paid, but they also have a lot of face when they go out. The big bosses will nod slightly when they see it to show respect .

So in order to compete for favor, the staff are also intrigue.

Zheng Yuandong's sudden rise to prominence in the past year or so and being reused by the eldest grandson Wuji made Cai Ying envious and jealous. After hearing Zheng Yuandong talking to himself in the hut, Cai Ying felt something was wrong.

But there was no evidence for such things, so he wanted to follow Zheng Yuandong to find out his reasons.

In the afternoon, when he came out again, the plainclothes Baiqi passed him by again and said something.

"It's so cool."

"yes!"

When normal people encounter such greetings, they will subconsciously reply yes!

A day later, Cai Ying went to the bathroom outside.

He went in, and the plainclothes Baiqi also followed.

Cai Ying was the only one inside.

"How about changing clothes?"

"yes!"

Cai Ying glanced at him, then turned his gaze down...

I have some low self-esteem!

When he came out later, he had a resentful look on his face.

Afterwards, Zheng Yuandong was praised by Changsun Wuji again, Cai Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore.

On an occasion where several staff members were present, he suddenly said: "My lord, there are people who have cheating love."

Changsun Wuji hummed, "Who?"

"It's Zheng Yuandong!"

Cai Ying pointed to Zheng Yuandong and said, "Master, that day I heard Zheng Yuandong say why Your Majesty didn't do anything to kill them."

The eyes of the staff are all about Changsun Wuji,

What Your Majesty, that doesn't exist.

So this accusation is very plausible.

Several other staff members immediately distanced themselves from Zheng Yuandong, as if he was a piece of shit.

Zheng Yuandong felt cold in his heart, and then looked at Cai Ying with surprised eyes, "Why do you say that?"

Not talking about slander, but why you said that, which is in line with the reaction of a normal person.

Cai Ying sneered and said, "I heard it with my own ears outside the latrine that day!"

——Since that day, I have no voice in the toilet.

But why didn't Jia Pingan do it?

Zheng Yuandong originally thought that Jia Ping'an was planning an opportunity, but now that the opportunity did not come, Cai Ying launched an attack.

I want to finish!

His Majesty!

No, I have to substitute.

"Master!"

Zheng Yuandong did not argue, but looked at Changsun Wuji sadly and angrily.

At such times, the more explanations, the more mistakes.

After getting through today, I will find a way to tide over the difficulties. If not, I will run away and disappear.

Cai Ying sneered and said, "What's the use of saying this? Mr. Xiang, I thought he was either from a powerful family in Shandong, or from the emperor."

Changsun Wuji had a cold face, and the staff couldn't help sighing secretly when they saw it, and mourned for Zheng Yuandong for a moment.

Although what Zheng Yuandong said seemed to be nothing, the problem could be found from the honorific title, and he immediately extended... This is to hope that the emperor will kill the eldest grandson and the others!

But in an instant they were happy again.

With one less competitor, they have more chances to rise to the top.

A dead fellow Daoist will not die a poor Taoist. This principle is applicable in ancient and modern times.

Zheng Yuandong's heart skipped a beat.

I'm done!

But the characters are still there!

At this moment, he was another personality, so he rushed forward and punched hard.

"Bitch, how dare you slander me!"

"stop!"

Changsun Wuji shouted.

Someone to separate them.

Cai Ying wiped his face and sneered at Zheng Yuandong.

Changsun Wuji looked at Cai Ying, and suddenly asked, "How did you and Baiqi collude?"

What?

Cai Ying was stunned.

Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "You contacted Baiqi privately, thinking that the old man doesn't know? Come!"

Two big men came in, "Sir."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "It's dealt with!"

"Master!"

Cai Ying only had time to shout before he was gagged and dragged out.

This person will never come back, and will never be found again.

But he just said that Zheng Yuandong is a spy of outsiders, what about this matter?

Zheng Yuandong was dumbfounded.

this……

Why was Cai Ying suspected of colluding with Baiqi?

Changsun Wuji looked at Zheng Yuandong, and said with a smile: "Fardong is loyal to this old man, especially for more than a year, he has helped me a lot. Cai Ying has been colluding with Baiqi for the past few days, and today he suddenly launched an attack. They want to get rid of the Far East through slander."

Can it still be like this? But I am a spy!

Zheng Yuandong felt that this was too absurd, he continued to substitute characters, with tears in his eyes, "Sister..."

"The Far East has been quite hard these days, and I didn't have a good time at Mount Tai today. I will give you three days off from tomorrow, just go and play."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled.

"Thank you, sir."

Zheng Yuandong's eyes showed concern, "Master, you have been sleeping late again these few days, and the bags under your eyes are getting bigger."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "I have already passed that age, what kind of beauty do you want, hahahaha!"

Later, the staff went out and condemned Cai Ying one after another.

"That man is like a poisonous snake, he hid it so deeply, but Mr. Xiang has sharp eyesight, just waited for him to show his feet, and took him down in one fell swoop."

"Far East, you've come a long way this time. If you have a future in the future, don't forget about us!"

Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!

Zheng Yuandong responded with a smile.

Later he left his mark in the old place, and went to wait in the woods.

But after waiting for an hour, there was no sign of Jia Ping'an.

...

Jia Pingan is very busy.

"Uncle Wuyang, Qianniuwei's people have clashed with people from the Criminal Ministry outside, and they are confronting each other."

wipe!

Cheng Da looked up.

Ming Jing looked up.

Morale Available!

"Although Qianniuwei has nothing to do with us, we have to deal with the Ministry of Punishment!" Jia Pingan sneered, "Call the brothers."

Later, more than a hundred people set out to ride a hundred horses.

The two Qianniu guards were confronting several officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and the two sides continued to confront each other, but the Qianniu guards retreated steadily.

"Qian Niuwei is the son of a powerful official, why doesn't he dare to do anything?"

"Those officials are from there. Qian Niuwei's father and grandfather may be officials, but if they do something, they will bring trouble to their father and ancestor."

"The Hundred Riders are here!"

More than a hundred people appeared in a mighty manner.

"What about Baiqi?"

The punishment department felt that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Qian Niuwei also thought so.

Jia Ping'an came first, knocking over one with a slap.

Bao Dong shouted: "This man insulted Uncle Wu Yang earlier!"

Someone shouted, "He also called Baiqi a bunch of hogs!"

Lei Hong punched it away, cursing: "You still humiliate me as a hairy monkey, yeah, let you know what a hairy fist is today!"

After a violent beating, the Baiqi men walked away.

The two Qianniuwei were dumbfounded.

Those present were also amazed.

"Why didn't you fight back?" Some people thought that those members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were too weak.

One of them looked up, speechless.

Someone said: "Last time Uncle Wuyang rushed into the Ministry of Criminal Justice and fought, saying that the guy in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was kicked to pieces by him."

I go!

People around couldn't help clamping their legs.

The action is uniform!

...

Jia Ping went to the woods, Zheng Yuandong said quietly: "I almost grew mushrooms on my body."

"What's the matter?"

Just as Jia Ping'an beat his hands, he was so happy.

"Earlier, Cai Ying made a sudden attack, but Changsun Wuji said that Cai Ying was in collusion with Baiqi, and even praised me."

Zheng Yuandong asked: "But what did you do?"

"I let someone disguise me, and I often passed by Cai Ying these days, and even met in the toilet..."

Zheng Yuandong understood, "This is a slanted sword! Thank you very much."

He cupped his hands seriously, "But why didn't you tell me?"

If he had been notified in advance, he would not be caught off guard.

"Your problem needs to be cured. That's why I thought about stimulating it like this, Lao Zheng, do you feel exciting?"

Old exciting!

Zheng Yuandong smiled wryly: "At that time, I only thought about how to die with dignity."

"I have a lot of things to do here, so I'll go back first."

Jia Ping'an has been staring at Luo Shengyan recently, waiting for him to bow his head.

After he left, the forest was faint, and birdsong could be heard occasionally, which was extraordinarily ethereal.

Zheng Yuandong thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Although Jia Ping'an is unruly, he is worthy of association and deep friendship!"

He went back all the way, and when he was almost there, he met Xu Jingzong.

"Bitch!"

Xu Jingzong snorted softly, and then went to Baiqi.

"Why did you beat the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"But someone impeached?" Jia Ping said indifferently: "Baiqi has done too many good things in recent years."

Xu Jingzong was taken aback, "You mean...you want to give Baiqi a bad name?"

"Of course!" Jia Pingan entered the guard room with him, "If not, what does the beating of Qianniuwei have to do with me?"

"His Majesty's Baiqi guards have been quite effective in recent years, and the Qianniu guards have been suppressed. Later, he also took on the responsibility of investigating foreign domains and monitoring the security of Chang'an City, hiss!"

Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, "You have done a lot of good things, and your reputation is getting better and better. The key is that your reputation has also improved a lot."

Pollution!

This idea came to his mind, "You little fox, it will be difficult for those old guys to trick you in the future."

"Uncle Wuyang!"

Someone from outside brought Zhu Tao's message.

"Great thing!"

wipe!

Jia Pingan laughed wildly in his heart: Even if you are greedy and treacherous like a ghost, you still have to eat Yeye's footwashing water!

Arrived at Honglu Temple, Luo Shengyan was waiting outside the duty room.

"Hey! Isn't this the Nanzhao envoy?"

Luo Shengyan forced a smile, "I met Uncle Wuyang."

Jia Ping'an was "surprised" and said: "I heard that you have been clamoring to go back, why are you still here? Could it be that someone is blocking Honglu Temple? Hey!"

He called a small official next to him and scolded, "Why did you stop the envoy from going back?"

The little official cooperated and showed an innocent expression, "Uncle Wuyang, it's nothing! The envoy has been here all along! I didn't say anything back."

That's sternness and softness!

Jia Pingan snorted, "So it was just talking!"

This person is deliberately humiliating me!

Luo Shengyan swore that Jia Ping'an did it on purpose.

His eyes almost burst into flames, but he couldn't argue back.

Jia Pingan laughed, "Is Zhu Shaoqing here?"

"Xiao Jia!"

Zhu Tao responded inside.

Jia Pingan entered the value room, "I have nothing to do today, so I will come and have a look."

Zhu Tao smiled, "Hey! An envoy has been invited in."

Luo Shengyan was ushered in, and after a few pleasantries, Zhu Tao said some clichés, none of which were useful.

Are all diplomats gifted with nonsense?

Jia Pingan was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but he was actually observing Luo Shengyan.

This person was sincere at first, but there was a little dissatisfaction in his words.

"Your envoy, let's go back."

Zhu Tao ended the conversation.

Luo Shengyan took a deep breath and glanced at Jia Pingan.

Is this going to bow down?

Jia Pingan smiled slightly, but he was extraordinarily indifferent.

This place in Nanzhao will become a hidden danger sooner or later, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will naturally plan something...

Luo Shengyan stood up, "A few days ago I was unwell, drowsy, and said some inappropriate things..."

When Luo Shengyan went out, Zhu Tao raised his hand, and Jia Pingan slapped it suddenly.

"Xiao Jia, it's over, hahahaha!"

He stood up and looked at several subordinates, and asked loudly, "How?"

Those people stood up, "Uncle Wuyang is indeed a great talent."

These are professional diplomats, it is difficult for laymen to convince them, but Jia Pingan suppressed Luo Shengyan this time, and some derivations shined brilliantly at this moment, convincing them from the bottom of their hearts.

Someone bowed their hands and asked sincerely, "May I ask Uncle Wuyang, how do you determine that Luo Shengyan will bow his head? Even if he turns his back on him, Nanzhao still exists."

"Because of ambition!"

Jia Pingan talked about this matter again, "Last time I said that the purpose of Nanzhao was never to resist the five edicts, let alone fear the threat of the Tubo people, but to unify the six edicts."

Since then, Nanzhao has continued to grow stronger, and finally unified the surrounding areas of Erhai Lake, and established Nanzhao as a country. This is inseparable from the support of Datang. The purpose of Datang's support of Nanzhao is for the southwest, so that Nanzhao can contain Tubo.

The subsequent death of local officials in the southwest caused Nanzhao to defect to Tubo, and this vortex that caused Datang to continuously lose blood was formed.

So Nanzhao wants to support it, but how to support it is debatable.

...

"Your Majesty, there is a censor impeaching Jia Ping'an for beating officials of the Ministry of Punishment."

Liu Xun, as the order of Zhongshu, the officials' memos must pass through him at the end.

Li Zhi frowned, "Why did you do it?"

"It is said that those people insulted Jia Ping'an."

Liu Xun said without emotion: "But they categorically deny it. In addition, Your Majesty, Baiqi has been guarding His Majesty since the beginning, and later added the responsibility of investigating the news of foreign vassals, and then added the responsibility of supervising Chang'an..."

This Baiqi gets wider and wider!

It's a good angle!

Chu Suiliang gave Liu Shi an appreciative look, but he didn't see Li Zhi give him a gloomy look.

The emperor wished he could hold all the power in his hands, and whoever opposed it was the enemy.

Liu Xun was well prepared, "That's all, but Jia Ping'an stretched his hand into the Honglu Temple, Your Majesty, is this... not right?"

Chu Suiliang immediately added his sword: "This is Honglu Temple, so Jia Ping'an may go to the Ministry of Punishment to point fingers tomorrow."

Li Ji sneered, "If it exceeds the authority, why does Honglu Temple obey?"

This is the loophole.

Chu Suiliang hesitated to speak...

——Jia Ping'an is His Majesty's man, how can Honglu Temple dare to stop him?

Li Zhi's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately smiled.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Tao, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, seeks an audience."

"Let him come."

Li Zhi looked at Chu Suiliang with a teasing look.

Zhu Tao had reported the matter of negotiating with the Nanzhao envoy long ago, but he didn't say anything, just waiting for this opportunity.

To regain power, the only way is to continuously weaken the opponent's strength, and hitting the opponent's prestige is the most direct.

At this moment, he wanted to sweep Chu Suiliang's prestige to the ground!

Zhu Tao came in, "Your Majesty, Luo Shengyan bowed his head just now."

Li Zhi was also taken aback, "Tell me."

Didn't it mean they were just a little annoyed internally? Why did you bow your head?

Chu Suiliang only felt a slight heat on his face, but this result did not weaken his prestige.

Zhu Tao said: "Luo Shengyan threatened to return to Nanzhao a while ago, but Honglu Temple was not moved. Later, Honglu Temple arranged for someone to say something... saying that the Tibetans would feel unwell when they arrived in Nanzhao and other places, and they would not be able to fight well. , and the roads are steep, and the supply of food and grass is difficult..."

Li Ji couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, "What happened next?"

"Immediately, the Nanzhao missions were in chaos. They were called in for questioning one by one, and they looked panic-stricken when they came out."

Li Ji smiled, "This means that what you said is correct."

"Britain's high opinion." Zhu Tao said with a smile, "Later, Honglu Temple remained calm."

This is to see who blinks first, which is more common in diplomatic occasions in later generations.

"Just before, Luo Shengyan begged to see him, saying that he was unwell a while ago, and said some stupid words. Then he said some good things, saying that Nanzhao was willing to block the invasion of Tubo for the Tang Dynasty, etc. He just asked for some weapons."

"We still need money and food!" Cui Dunli said with a smile, "This will reveal their true colors. Your Majesty, Honglu Temple has made great contributions!"

Old Cui did this on purpose!

Who doesn't know that Jia Ping'an intervened to cause this matter? Now you deliberately say that Honghe Temple has meritorious service, which is to say that Jia Ping'an has meritorious service.

As a human being, you can't be so sloppy!

Zhu Tao smiled and said: "Uncle Wuyang insisted on this matter, but Honglu Temple just followed suit. Your Majesty, it's more than that."

Li Ji frowned suddenly, "If that's the case, Luo Shengyan doesn't need to bow his head. At worst, go back, and the five edicts can't do anything to them."

"The British prince really appreciates it."

Zhu Tao once again praised Li Ji, "Uncle Wu Yang analyzed that the purpose of Nanzhao was never to resist Tubo, but to unify the six imperial edicts! So Honglu Temple did not move, and Luo Shengyan really bowed his head on his own initiative."

"This is self-inflicted!"

Li Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Nanzhao is ambitious and will inevitably be difficult to rule in the future. The materials given to them must be carefully considered."

Li Zhi nodded, "In that case, Datang must not help each other too much, otherwise Nanzhao will not be able to lose its tail, but will become a hidden danger instead."

Once such national policies are determined, the basis for future decision-making will be based on this.

Li Zhi looked at Chu Suiliang, and said indifferently: "Zhu Qing, did Jia Pingan rely on my authority to forcibly participate in this matter?"

How can this be?

Zhu Qing thought to himself, didn't the minister report this matter?

Why do you still ask?

He immediately became melancholy again, thinking that the emperor was so forgetful, it was not the blessing of Tang Dynasty.

He didn't see Chu Suiliang's face, which was getting livid at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I have quite a tacit understanding with Uncle Wuyang on diplomatic matters. This time he shared the matter of Nanzhao, and I felt that it was reasonable, so I supported him." Zhu Tao was very puzzled and said: "If you say Even if the ministers think it is wrong, the ministers will not bow their heads! If anyone thinks that the minister is wrong, just come and argue!"

This is the king of understanding!

At this moment, he raised his head slightly, full of confidence.

This is what I want!

Li Zhi took a look at Chu Suiliang, "I said that no matter how great Jia Ping'an's ability is, he won't be able to make Honghe Temple bow down. Lord Ying, let's talk about this matter."

These words are a slap in the face: You, Chu Suiliang, said that Jia Pingan relied on my authority to suppress Honglu Temple, so I asked Zhu Tao to slap you in the face.

Then you have to flog the corpse!

The person who whipped the corpse was Li Ji.

He looked warmly, "Your Majesty, from this Datang found out Nanzhao's plan and the situation there, so that in the future Datang will not make mistakes in making decisions. Your Majesty, Uncle Wuyang has made no mistakes!"

This is a credit to facing in one direction!

From then on, Datang's layout and response in the southwest can be taken care of.

That Jia Ping'an is indeed a talent... Li Zhi nodded, "I also think so!"

Liu Xun's expression was dull.

Chu Suiliang looked blank.
