"Now things are getting serious." Xu Jingzong's face froze. Qin Jiudao gave himself a big problem this time. He knew that Zheng Liwan was beautiful and charming and a famous beauty in Chang'an City. Since Zheng Renji came to Luoyang,

I don’t know how many people came to ask for marriage every day, but Zheng Renji didn’t agree. No one else knew his thoughts, and only Zheng Renji knew it. Now, it’s good that Zheng Liwan has become the emperor’s talent. Although he is only a small talent.

, but she is also His Majesty’s woman, so this Zheng Renjie has become a relative of the emperor. What’s even more ridiculous is that now this Zheng Renji is involved in the Luoyang corruption case. Logically speaking, even if this Zheng Renji does not die, it is impossible to see it.

He went out to the sun, but now he has become a relative of the emperor. Xu Jingzong didn't know how to deal with this matter.

"Come here, do you know where Master Zheng Renji is now?" Xu Jingzong touched his head and asked the soldiers around him. This kind of thing is really difficult to solve. According to Xu Jingzong's original idea, as long as Zheng Renji

Return to Luoyang, go to jail immediately, and then ask the Jin Yiwei people to interrogate him. Zheng Renji will definitely be able to speak and find out the person behind him. This is good. Xu Jingzong can only shake his head.

"If you tell me, sir, we can arrive in Luoyang in the afternoon." The soldier asked softly.

"I will personally greet him in the afternoon." Xu Jingzong thought for a while and finally decided to treat Zheng Renji in a different way. Since his daughter has become a talented person, he cannot offend him and can only contact him secretly. Who let

He has a good daughter. Xu Jingzong shook his head. It seemed that with a good daughter, he could save his own life at the most critical moment.

But what he didn't know was that Zheng Renji was sitting on the carriage at this time, with his brows furrowed and a hint of worry in his eyes, looking at the guards around him. Although they were protecting him, Zheng Renji could tell that these people

He was here to monitor him. Ever since he was sent to Zhao County, Zheng Renji had this feeling that his affairs had been exposed. It was just that there was no evidence. Otherwise, Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie would have arrested him long ago.

, now it’s good that the Zhaojun matter has not been resolved yet, so he was recalled to Luoyang, and a large number of troops were sent to protect him. Zheng Renji felt that something was wrong. But he had to do this, and could only follow closely and return to Luoyang.

, because his son-in-law and his clan are all in Luoyang. If something happens to him, his family will be in trouble, so he knew that something was wrong, but he still followed these soldiers on the road back to Luoyang.

There were also members of the direct lineage of the Li family in Zhao County, all coming to Luoyang under the protection of these soldiers.

"Could it be that he was discovered like this?" Zheng Renji shook his head. He didn't understand how Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie discovered him. What made him even more confused was why Lu Zhaoci ordered him to be pardoned and allowed himself to be pardoned in the first place.

The officer was reinstated and took part in the investigation. In less than a month, he was arrested and brought back to Luoyang, which made him think hard and still not understand the truth.

"Perhaps Luoyang City can find the answer." Zheng Renjie looked at Luoyang in the distance, with a trace of thinking on his face. He still doesn't know how to face Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie.

Soon Luoyang is in sight. Luoyang is still the original Luoyang, but this Luoyang city is no longer our Luoyang city. The Luoyang of the past is left behind and will soon become a prisoner. I am afraid that the prisoners will never have a chance to come out this time.

"Haha, Brother Zheng Xian, it's easy for me to wait." At this moment, the carriage stopped. An old voice came from outside.

"Xu Jingzong?" Zheng Renji's expression changed, and he looked out in surprise. He saw someone standing in front of the carriage and under the city gate, but who was it, Xu Jingzong? He had a rosy complexion and a gray beard under his chin.

Standing there without a trace of chaos, smiling, behind him, there were some officials from Dongdu who were greeting him...

"What's going on?" Zheng Renji was confused for a moment. Why is the situation in front of him different from what he imagined? According to Zheng Renji, as soon as he enters Luoyang City, he will be arrested and thrown into prison, and he will face the tactics.

How could the ferocious and diverse Jin Yiwei receive such courtesy? Xu Jingzong personally came to the city gate to greet him.

"Mr. Ge." Zheng Renji is a person who has seen the world after all. When he saw such an appearance, he could only put away a trace of doubt in his heart. He slowly got out of the carriage, cupped his hands towards Xu Jingzong, and said: "I'm the official

How can I be welcomed by my elders?"

"Haha, that's right, that's right." Xu Jingzong laughed loudly, stepped forward to support Zheng Renji and laughed loudly: "Renji, come to my house first. I have prepared wine and food. You and I will eat and talk."

"There are also people from the Li family." Zheng Renji glanced at Xu Jingzong, but saw that there was nothing strange on his face. He felt relieved and quickly pointed to the people from the Li family in Zhao County who came after him.

"Huh, put them all in jail and await trial." Xu Jingzong was not polite at all towards the Zhaojun Li family. With a wave of his hand, he saw a group of wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers rushing forward and taking the accompanying Zhaojun Li family.

All the members of the family were arrested. Zheng Renji's expression changed when he saw it, but there was nothing he could do. Who knew that there was indeed something wrong with the Li family of Zhao County?

"Let's go, let's go, Renji, follow me." Xu Jingzong pulled Zheng Renji towards the city gate without even looking at Zhaojun Li. Zheng Renji could only sigh and followed closely.

"Renji, you have worked hard all the way. I am getting old and can't stand the wind and sand. Huaiying has already gone to Chang'an to handle the case in Chang'an. Between you and me, you can only visit Zhao County once."

Zheng Renji was surprised that Xu Jingzong pulled him and walked on the streets of Luoyang. Even if there was a carriage around him, he would not sit on it.

Zheng Renji was walking on this sky street similar to Chang'an Zhuque Street. There were soldiers clearing the way and guarding him. Despite this, there were still many people watching the excitement. Although Zheng Renji was surprised, he could only follow closely and let it go.

Xu Jingzong pulled him back, but he was thinking about what this old guy was planning.

"Haha, Mr. Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's easy for Xiao Wang to wait." At this moment, the crowd on the opposite side suddenly gave way, and many soldiers stopped. Not far away, a group of soldiers stood guarding a young fat man.

There, there was a bright yellow carriage behind it. Who could it be if it wasn't King Lu Chengtai of Wei?

"See your highness." Seeing this, Xu Jingzong and Zheng Renji hurriedly stepped forward and said with cupped hands.

"Mr. Ge, I didn't expect you to care for your subordinates so much. When Mr. Zheng comes back, you will personally welcome him." Lu Chengtai waved his hand, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Since we are colleagues, we should be like this. Haha, Your Majesty, you look much better." Xu Jingzong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty will definitely be happy once he knows."

"Xiao Wang thinks so too." Lu Chengtai laughed, looked at Zheng Renji and said: "Master Zheng, I don't know if there is any news about your daughter recently. Xiao Wang has long heard that there are three talented women in Chang'an, and her name is also Xiao Wang.

I have admired her for a long time, but this time I came to Luoyang, I did not meet her and experience her talents, but Xiao Wang was very disappointed."

"Your concubine?" Xu Jingzong glanced at the faces of Lu Chengtai and Zheng Renji, and sighed in his heart. The King of Wei in front of him was so polite to Zheng Renji, probably because of Zheng Liwan. Unfortunately, this Zheng Liwan has become

The emperor was so talented that it was impossible to get a son like Lu Chengtai.

"Your Highness is concerned that my daughter is still in Chang'an." Zheng Renji said quickly...

"Sir Xu, you see, Xiao Wang has been in Luoyang for many days and has been received by Mr. Zheng. This time Xiao Wang wants to do something and invites Mr. Zheng to talk about it. I don't know that Mr. Zheng is willing. Hehe, Xiao Wang is not young at all.

Yes. You also know this gentleman." A hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Lu Chengtai's face.

Xu Jingzong frowned, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. In the past, he would have agreed to this request. Who knows whether King Wei will get Zheng Liwan in the end, but it is impossible now. Zheng Liwan has become a talented person.

What's more, I came to welcome Zheng Renji like this because I had my own considerations. If Zheng Renji left me, I'm afraid it's not what I thought. He then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if it were the past, I should have obeyed, but Mr. Zheng

I went to Zhao County to investigate the case. When I come back this time, can I let him explain the affairs of Zhao County first? In this way, the case can be concluded as soon as possible, and then, let Mr. Zheng come to your house. What do you think, my lord?"

Hearing this, Lu Chengtai nodded without thinking and said: "It's Xiao Wang's fault. This matter should be a matter of national importance, and Xiao Wang was negligent. Xiao Wang still has a long time in Luoyang, so he can just talk to Mr. Zheng in the future.

I won’t disturb Mr. Ge anymore. Xiao Wang will take his leave now.”

"Your Highness." Xu Jingzong and Zheng Renji did not dare to neglect and hurriedly bowed their heads to see each other off. However, Lu Chengtai waved his hand, got on the carriage, and left slowly.

"Zu Renji, His Highness the King of Wei is easy to talk to." Xu Jingzong looked at Lu Chengtai's leaving figure, nodded, and said: "After all, he is of royal blood, so he is naturally extraordinary. When I was in Chang'an City, I heard that Wei

His Royal Highness, Corporal Li Xian, when I saw you today, I didn't expect to become a seed of infatuation. It's a pity, it's a pity." Zheng Renji on the side seemed to have thoughts, as if he didn't hear what Xu Jingzong said, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his face became more

He showed a complicated expression. After King Wei made such a fuss, the two of them could no longer walk on the street. They each got on the carriage and walked towards the left-behind mansion.

"Mr. Zheng, it's just you and me today. There's no one around, please." In the pavilion in the garden behind Liushou Mansion, Xu Jingzong pointed around and said.

Zheng Renji glanced around and saw some guards standing under the eaves, several feet away from the pavilion. Others could not hear the words the two of them were talking to. Of course, this did not surprise Zheng Renji.

What he noticed was that these soldiers were the forbidden troops brought by Xu Jingzong. What he didn't understand was why Xu Jingzong did this. Is there some secret? It should be so strict.

"Mr. Ge, why is this so?" Zheng Renji asked softly. He also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, so he lowered his head and asked.

"Renji, before you come, in the morning, Your Majesty asked Qin Jiudao, Eunuch Qin, to come. Tell me one sentence, there are only two words. Do you know which two words?" Xu Jingzong looked at Zheng Renji faintly.

said.

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Ge." Zheng Renji's expression changed and he turned extremely pale.

"Close the net." Xu Jingzong sat down and said: "Originally, I was planning to send you to prison as soon as someone enters Luoyang City. Presumably those royal guards will help me, no, help Your Majesty get what he needs.

Something. But I didn’t do that, do you know why?”.

"Please give me some advice." Zheng Renji shook his head gently and said.

"My daughter has become your Majesty's talented person." Xu Jingzong said softly. His words were like a thunderbolt ringing in Zheng Renji's ears, and Zheng Renji was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

"Aren't you surprised?" Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "My concubine is a talented person, but his father is a big embezzler in the court, and he is the target of His Majesty's upcoming disposal. Renji, aren't you surprised? I am also

I am very surprised, but this is the emperor. I am very jealous of you. Although you have made a big mistake, with your concubine here, even your majesty will not do anything to you. It is said that this matter was caused by you, or under your control.

There are others behind you.”….

"Don't you know, Mr. Ge?" Zheng Renji said with a wry smile.

"I know, I know. If you say it yourself, you say it yourself. This is different." Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "I'll tell you one more thing. Di Renjie has gone to Chang'an, holding a

Hanguang Sword, led the army to defeat all the bandits on Guanlong Road, and captured Wei Shouguang, the son of Wei Shi. Renji, I'm afraid you can't imagine that these were all expected by His Majesty. Do you know where Your Majesty is now?"

"Your Majesty didn't go to the front line?" Zheng Renji's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"Your Majesty is in Guanzhong. His Royal Highness Prince Liang is leading the army to protect the left and right sides." Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "Actually, this world is under your control. Whatever your Majesty wants to do, it is not something you or I can stop. The only one in the world who can

Your Majesty is the only one qualified to play chess, not me. Your Majesty has seen what you have done, but has not said it out loud. Now His Majesty has decided to close the net, Renji, why don’t you say it?

come out?".

"What are you going to do, Your Majesty?" Zheng Renji stared at the sky for a long time before he said softly.

"The Guanlong family is both prosperous and devastated. One Wei Shouguang can involve Webster, and one Weishi can involve the entire Guanlong family." Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Remember that Zhao Shida? He doesn't

But the son-in-law of the Li family in Zhaojun is from your Guandong family and has a close relationship with the Guanzhong family. There is also the murder of Hongnong. Di Renjie wrote that it was Wei Shi who committed it. As for Liu Hui and his son and Wu in Chang'an City,

Neng, the former Chang'an Order, was also killed by Wei Ting. I don't know how many of the Guanlong family will be able to keep this time."

"Mr. Ge, the Guanlong family is like this, isn't the Guandong family the same?" Zheng Renji smiled bitterly and said: "A Li family may be involved in many things, and a Zheng family is even more so. Your Majesty is prepared to take this opportunity to

The entire Guanzhong and Guandong families were wiped out in one fell swoop. The funny thing is that our Guanlong family and the Guandong family have always had no means. After weakening the family, for the sake of the balance of the imperial court, he will not weaken the family any more. Unexpectedly, there is still nothing.

See clearly His Majesty’s intentions.”

"How can your Majesty's power be seen by us?" Xu Jingzong said disdainfully: "Renji, your Majesty is the most sage and sage in history. If it were other monarchs, or in other words, monarchs who lived in peace and prosperity, even if they were

No matter how wise you are, you will never be like this. Only Your Majesty, with the sword and gun in your hand, managed to conquer the world. He is used to the situation in the late Sui Dynasty. He comes from a noble family, and he understands the rules of the noble family. First there is a family, then there is another.

The imperial court's thinking is that in the peaceful and prosperous times, it annexed land, ran rampant in the countryside, and acted recklessly. In troubled times, it colluded with bandits, and even started rebellions. How could such a family be allowed to exist? Your Majesty has clearly thought about it. If it is a disaster for the family, it cannot be dealt with by your Majesty.

After being solved, it fell into the hands of the prince. He was just a Taiping emperor. Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui were his elders. The other heads of the aristocratic families all had a close relationship with the prince. How could the prince take action? Only Your Majesty,

Only then did you have such courage and courage to solve this matter completely. Renji, you are all wrong to choose this time to compete with His Majesty. It’s ridiculous that you, the heads of aristocratic families, had Master Cui Ren before you, and later Changsun Wu.

Ji thought that he would be able to monopolize the court under his Majesty, or replace the imperial power with aristocratic families, but they did not know how his majesty would allow this to happen. If his majesty was older, these people might be able to afford it, but unfortunately, now

Your Majesty is in the prime of life, how could such a situation happen? The imperial authority is so majestic that no one can challenge it."

"What Mr. Ge said is true." Zheng Renjie sighed.

"The so-called balancing of aristocratic families is only something that ordinary monarchs do. Your Majesty, who controls the world with a three-foot sword and is undefeated, will not be swayed by this party struggle and aristocratic families. Since you aristocratic families cannot be made to obey, then you will be

Get rid of all these aristocratic families. If it doesn't work in one day, then it will take one year. If it doesn't work in one year, then it will take ten years. Your Majesty has time." A sarcastic look appeared on Xu Jingzong's lips, and he sneered: "It's ridiculous that all of you aristocratic families are being fooled.

Here, I thought that this was still the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, even though His Majesty owned the world, he did not have the talents who could govern the world. Even if there was Zhongnan Academy, it was not enough. That's why your family was allowed to exist. But what about now? Academy

All over the world, more than a hundred people become talents every three years and participate in the imperial court's management of the world. Although there are many talents from aristocratic families, His Majesty has abandoned them because he already has a replacement. Why do you need aristocratic families like you?

Not understanding the situation is the root of failure."
