Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight: Heaven descends on the task
For Li Xian, it is obviously the most important thing to be able to quickly solve the current troubles.
So he almost obeyed Wei and Wei Xuanzhen. What Empress Wei said did arouse some fear, but he was a person who was at ease with the situation. Although he was just afraid in his heart, he soon put this matter behind his mind.
Anyway, no one needs to bother yourself. As for what Queen Wei wants to do, let him go.
Li Xian had already started fighting haha. Seeing this, Wei Xuanzhen hurriedly said goodbye.
For him, Empress Wei's "arrangement" was obviously the best result. Henan Prefecture could no longer move easily. The court could only acknowledge what he was doing now. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Wei Hongmin took the lead in attacking. If he hadn't been taking a single gamble, how could he have reached such an uncontrollable level today?
This... seems to be a last resort, and he can only temporarily admit Wei Hongmin's rebellion so as not to continue to expand the situation. Then he will give Wei Hongmin's eldest son a reward to win back the Wei family's face. Although this is a bit helpless, it can only be done.
Wei Xuanzhen said goodbye carefully and left the hall, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart. Zheng Tong, the new governor of Zhaoyi Town? Haha... This person seems to be quite interesting.
The Zheng family has always been very close to the Cui family, but the Cui family has now fallen into decline, and the Zheng family's status among the five surnames and seven families has not decreased. The Zheng family is close to the Wei family and has always been indifferent. However, now, the Empress has asked a member of the Zheng family to go to Zhaoyi Town, which is worthy of fun.
Zhaoyi Town is different from other towns, because in Wei Hongmin's conception in the past, Zhaoyi Town will be the main force to restrain Henan Prefecture. At the same time, because of Wei Hongmin's selfishness, Zhaoyi Town is under the jurisdiction of thirteen prefectures and more than a hundred counties, and is also a wealthy place along both sides of the Yellow River. It has a large population and its strength is far above many towns. I really think this is the case. Among the towns in the world, Zhaoyi Town is definitely a huge piece of fat. This piece of fat has now become a homeless place.
What will happen next?
Qin Shaoyou is now stationed in Zhaoyi Town. Since he killed Wei Hongmin and was convinced by the princes of the other four towns, how could he easily give up the fat he got? So it is almost certain that for Qin Shaoyou, Zhaoyi Town has almost become his belongings and will never allow anyone to reach out to take it. How can he allow others to snore under the bed? It is related to this. This is the case with the Wei family and Qin Shaoyou. This is the fundamental interest and will never give up easily.
But what about the Zheng family?
The status of the Zheng family. Because of the weakness of their ally Cui family, they inevitably fell into a trough, especially the Wei family's enfeoffment of princes, which caused the princes from all over the country to flee. Because they mastered the military and political affairs of the whole place, their strength was vaguely surpassing the high-ranking surnames. This is obviously a very difficult fact for the Zheng family. In fact, the Zheng family really needed an opportunity at this time. Now that Zhaoyi Town has been sent to them, what will they do?
For the Zheng family, this is their only opportunity to maintain their family business. They are still strong now, but the governor of a town represents the future. After receiving this order, the Zheng family will definitely devote all the strength of the family to use all their relationships, as well as all their manpower and material resources to support Zheng Tong as governor.
The two tigers fought, one was the newly rising warlord, and the other was the aristocratic family that had been going through hundreds of years. The strength, connections, financial resources and influence of both sides were extremely great. Naturally, Qin Shaoyou's momentum was quite large, and the Zheng family was a little shorter than that, but Wei Xuanzhen believed that once both sides fought to the death, it would be a good show, not to mention that even if the Zheng family returned in a bad situation, it would be fine. At least if the Qin surnamed attacked Zheng's surname, other wealthy families and high-ranking families would not help but be vigilant about Qin Shaoyou.
This strategy is called driving tigers and swallowing wolves, which doesn't seem to be a bad thing. The Wei family can at least temporarily sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and watch both sides live to the death.
Thinking of this, Wei Xuanzhen's mood finally improved a lot. Before he knew it, he had already left the Daming Palace. He looked back at the towering palace wall and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Wei family... must keep this place no matter what, otherwise...
First, it was Wei Zhengde, and then Wei Hongmin. One person's heads were one after another, which made Wei Xuanzhen feel heartbroken. Next time, it was very likely that he would be himself and he would never lose.
For a moment, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly realized that the servant who was added to him was no longer a high position for him, but more like a burden that he could not get rid of.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When many rumors spread in the palace.
In a small villa of the Zheng family, dozens of the most important figures of the Zheng family have appeared one after another.
Among them, Zheng Rong, who is also prime minister, has Zheng Tong, who is rumored to be the governor of Zhaoyi, and many imperial guards and senior officials of Chang'an Prefecture. In addition, some important disciples and former officials were also invited. These people are the most important forces of the Zheng family and are almost the core figures of the Zheng family in Chang'an City.
In this dark little hall, everyone frowned, but everyone didn't speak easily.
Zheng Tong's face was calm, just sitting in the corner, and he didn't have the time to speak. Although Zheng Rong's clan brother, Zheng Tong had enough voice, but... today it was different, and he shouldn't say anything today.
In fact, more people say they look at Zheng Rong. In recent years, because of the weakening of the Cui family, Zheng Rong, who is very close to Cui Gong, has also suffered a lot. Although he is still the prime minister, the prime minister who has lost his trust in the palace is worth a lot to some extent.
The centipede insect dies without being stiff. A large clan like the Zheng family naturally cannot be knocked down because of some blows. Therefore, Zheng Rong has been working hard to maintain this family. Today, the Zheng family is still in full swing. There are countless children of extremely high ministers, and there are even officials from countless places. However... Zheng Rong is most worried about not the temple. In the temple, no matter how rift between the Wei family and the Zheng family is, the Zheng family is not afraid. After all, if you really want to touch the Zheng family, it will affect your whole body. If you fight your life, the Wei family will not have any good results.
However, anyone who is in charge of the family business must not just look at the present moment. For them, the future is the most important. What will happen to the Zheng family?
Now, the thirty-seven princes in the world, and many of the great families close to the Wei family have been divided into private property. They have all divided the prefectures and counties in the world into private property. However, the Zheng family has nothing and separating the country has great benefits for any large family. It is almost imagined that ten or twenty years later, those families with fiefs can take this opportunity to reshuffle the world.
And at that time, what should the Zheng family do?
Now... it seems that there is a huge opportunity. Zhaoyi Town... Zhaoyi Town can almost be said to be one of the fattest fiefs in the world. The court intends to give it to the Zheng family. Do the Zheng family dare to ask for it?
Whether you dare to ask for it is a question. Everyone knows that Qin Shaoyou will never let someone snatch food from a tiger's mouth. Although you have obtained the imperial edict. With the title of governor, people will never give up on this real benefit.
Wei Hongmin's fate is right in front of him, and for the Zheng family, it is like taking away the chestnut from the fire.
Zheng Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed. He slowly said: "When my father was there, he repeatedly reminded that since the Sui Wen held the imperial examination, the rise and fall of the great clan was always imminent. And we are waiting for our unworthy descendants, now sitting here, watching the crisis approaching, and watching the Zheng family's family becoming increasingly neglected. I am afraid that the family business will be defeated by my husband, I am sorry for my ancestors, and even more sorry for my descendants. The Zheng family has been going on for five hundred years, and for five hundred years, it is not only the best, but it can be considered as having endless wealth and honor, but... Can wealth and honor really last? And now, it is really different from the past. Everyone understands many things very well, but they can't use it..."
He complained for a while and expressed his concerns.
I'm not worried that I'll see a ghost. If this continues, the Zheng family will really fall into second place. What's even more terrifying is that over the years, the Zheng family has naturally offended many people in order to compete for more benefits because of their great family. These people dare not speak out now, not because they have forgotten the rift and hatred, but because they are afraid of the strength of the Zheng family. Once the Zheng family falls, even if they want to become an ordinary family, they are afraid that they will not be able to get it, because after losing the capital that makes people afraid, the next step will be revenge from countless people who are determined. By then, the family will be destroyed.

After pondering for a while, Zheng Rong said, "I heard that the palace intends to let the third son of Zhaoyi be the governor of Zhaoyi. I believe everyone knows the links in this. Alas... Now, we cannot move forward and cannot move forward, but we have no way to retreat. To put it bluntly, I am difficult. I have never slept well these days. Everyone knows that the life and death of the Zheng family depends on these decades. Zhaoyi Town, how great the benefit is for the Zheng family. As long as we can really master it, the Zheng family will be prosperous for another five hundred years. Do you think, can the Zheng family give up Zhaoyi Town?"
He almost asked himself, but then he answered firmly: "No, the Zheng family must not give up. If the Zheng family gives up, it will not only make jokes for the people of the world, but also make you and I, who are here today, have no face to meet the ancestors. So... I know that everyone is here to discuss whether to accept the mission of the court. But I just want to talk about one thing, how Zheng Tong is to be the governor of Zhaoyi, what kind of suffering will the Zheng family encounter, what kind of murderous intent will the Zheng family face, how much financial and material resources will be prepared, and how much need to be used. In short, even if our Zheng family gives all its money, this Zhaoyi Town must be included in the bag, no matter what the price is, it is still willing to do."
Everyone was excited.
For these Zheng family, who have long been accustomed to being arrogant, most of them are the same as Zheng Rong. They know very well that they cannot give up Zhaoyi Town, so their only choice is to face the difficulties.
"But, that Qin Shaoyou..."
Zheng Tong mentioned the difficulties at this time. After all, he was the one who took office. He didn't expect that after he arrived in Weizhou, he was shot and Wei Hongmin was killed. His life was his own. Is Wei Hongmin strong?
Everyone's eyes fell on Zheng Tong, and they talked: "Why don't you find a relationship and say hello to King Hongnong first. Our Zheng family has some relationship with the Kanto gentry. Please mediate, I want to come..."
"No, this is definitely not useful just because of love. What is Zhaoyi Town? Zhaoyi Town is the best fat in the world. I don't know how many people are jealous and how many people want to fight for it. How could Qin Shaoyou give up because of some old love? One mountain cannot withstand two tigers. There are so many truths and friendships in the world in many cases."
"We have the will and appointments of the court. So does Qin Shaoyou..."
"Of course he wouldn't do it openly, but, do you remember what happened to the Huzhou governor a few years ago? The boss wanted to investigate the Huzhou governor, and the man. When he arrived in Huzhou, the governor respectfully welcomed him. After half a month of investigation, the imperial envoy found many discoveries. He was also excited for a moment and told him about this at a banquet. What was the result? As a result, his imperial envoy caught fire. Overnight, he and his servants burned all the fires. The governor of Huzhou still put out the fire overnight. Hehe... What is the name here? Don't you know that the governor of Huzhou is still the official of the court now. He has a strong relationship. The court is anyway.
There is no way to find out anything. As long as someone is willing to cover up, what dares he do? Zi Ang said that there was an imperial edict from the court, so there is no need to worry. In fact, there is no need to worry about anything on the surface. The only thing that is worried is that it is in secret. It is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to prevent secret arrows. Zhaoyi Town now has many people with the surname Qin. I am afraid that the third brother will go to Zhaoyi Town. God knows when a big fire will be destroyed. This matter is really difficult. The Qin and Wei's surname are fighting for the death of our Zheng family. On the contrary, our Zheng family has also been affected. It is impossible not to mix it with it. But if you mix it with it, you have to be prepared to fight for it and never be lucky."
After hearing this, Zheng Tong immediately had a cold war, as if he had suddenly fallen into a sea of fire.
Not to mention this, the person surnamed Qin can really do it. He burned Zheng Tong in a fire. What can the court say? Who can find out the truth? But in the future, who dares to go to Zhaoyi Town to be the governor. Zhaoyi Town will naturally have the surname Qin.
"If he really dares, is our Zheng family so easy to bully? He must fight with him."
"It's just a desperate effort. Who said it's not a desperate effort? The Wei family would be so kind-hearted and gave up Zhaoyi Town to us? It's just that we hope we can fight to the death, but if we don't fight, it won't work. I can't see what's wrong. Now, I can only take one step at a time. The third brother is going to Zhaoyi Town no matter what. If the Qin surnamed dares to play tricks, our Zheng family will have to fight to the death."
Zheng Tong was silent and couldn't help but say, "It shouldn't be so serious. What does it mean to wait for a person named Qin to play with the yin? If he plays with the yin, wouldn't I have already roasted it into charcoal?"
Zheng Tong is not a fool either. It is obvious that he wants to sacrifice himself. He will die first. Let’s take one step at a time. I will go, you are so arrogant. If you have the ability, you will die.
"Ahem... Third brother, listen to me..."
Zheng Tong had a stern face and said, "You have to prepare for the future. How can you take one step at a time?"
There are endless disputes.
Zheng Rong coughed.
After all, they are the head of the family and still have prestige. When Zheng Rong coughed, everyone calmed down and looked at Zheng Rong, silently.
Zheng Rong smiled bitterly and said, "At present, there seems to be no other way. In short, you have to try any method. It's not that the order has not been delivered yet. After that, those who should take office must take office immediately. Of course, the third brother is picking people from the Zheng family and can take anyone with you. In case it is appropriate, the Zheng family needs both etiquette and military force. On the one hand, it is indeed necessary to ask people to go to the Yang family of Hongnong and Zhao families. In any case, the human relationship that should be maintained must be maintained. Of course, Qin Shaoyou should be cautious. But now, let's take office first. The third brother will take office first."
"Brother...I..." Zheng Tong had a secret of something unspeakable. He had always known Qin Shaoyou's reputation as a tiger. He was going to touch the tiger's butt. Although it was easy for the people present to say it, the person who pinned his head on the belt was himself.
Zheng Rong knew Zheng Tong’s thoughts, and knew that if he advised him, he would have to make countless reasons. He simply said with a stern face: "This is your encounter, and it is also the encounter of our Zheng family. Now, don’t be hesitant. I have decided on this matter, so I will do it like this. I have to hurry up how to raise and prepare in the past few days. Third brother, thank you for your hard work."
