Chapter 34 The news of the death spread, the dilemma (recommended tickets please!)

Ou Yezi readily agreed to forge weapons, and he was even more impatient than Zhao Zheng and others.

Just like the groom on the wedding night, he couldn't wait to enter his shop with the gold essence in his arms, and started to light the fire and strike the iron.

A team of people was left here to help Ou Yezi with odd jobs, and Zhao Zheng took Xu Shu back to the palace.

The Wang family's property has basically been copied, and the soldiers who have worked hard all day and night can finally take a rest.

However, Ding Ping and Cheng Yaojin were still running outside the city, and they couldn't make it back within a day or two.

So there are still a few days to wait for the finishing work of copying the Wang family.

Now the city lord of Ming City has become a decoration. Over the years, he has cooperated with the Wang family's officials and businessmen and restrained each other, so the rights of the city lord cannot be exerted.

This is also helpless, with the means of the Wang family, if he is a city lord who does not show favor to the Wang family, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Ming City.

Just like Chen Mao of the City Guard Army, this Ming City has one article and one military, and Wu's life is not smooth enough, and he will die quickly.

Now, Zhao Zheng led the army to destroy the Wang family in Ming City with anger. The city lord is also very knowledgeable about current affairs. He did not show off the official authority of the city lord, but cooperated with Zhao Zheng very much.

At the administrative level, the city lord can take over the city guard, but he didn't mention it.

Honestly like a quail!
……

"Has the guard sent to Yuncheng and Yulou City not come back yet?" Zhao Zheng asked the guard Cao Chuanbao, frowning.

"I haven't received any news of their return, my lord!"

It has been six days and there is still no news. Zhao Zheng has a bad feeling that the guard may never come back.

"My lord, please see City Lord Guo!" A soldier rushed to report.

"Please, in the future, there is no need to notify City Lord Guo when he comes, just let him in!"

"Okay, son!"

City Lord Guo's name is Guo Quan, a talent recommended by Zhao Xuan in his early years. He is stable and has a peaceful personality. However, the governance of Ming City in these years can only be described as mediocre.

Because it’s okay to say that he has not made any good political achievements in the past few years, and he has not made any major mistakes. Mingcheng has basically remained like that, with little development, but it has not regressed.

This kind of person is a master of harmony. Zhao Zheng has inquired about his four-dimensionality. The highest attribute is politics, reaching 89, a state-level capable minister.

He almost reached the level of a dynasty-level capable minister. There is no doubt that Guo Quan is capable.

Zhao Xuan had the right vision in selecting people.

But why haven't we made any political achievements in these years?

After Zhao Zheng thought about it, he came to the conclusion that Guo Quan is capable but lacks courage. He cherishes his wings too much. Of course, this is also the reason why he has been the city lord for so many years.

The Wang family is the overlord of the Ming City, he dare not offend, so he can only bear with it, pretending to be a snake, and pimping each other with the Wang family, which prevents the officialdom of the Ming City from becoming a monopoly of the Wang family.

However, the strength, ambition, and greed of the Wang family also made Guo Quan unable to let go of his hands and feet in Mingcheng, because it would definitely affect the interests of the Wang family.

Guo Quan was afraid of the Wang family, and the Wang family also had to take care of Zhao Xuan, not daring to seize power openly.

This is why the development of Mingcheng has stagnated.

There is a lot of officialdom wisdom in it, which is worth pondering!
"Young Master, City Lord Guo is here!"

Guo Quan walked into the lobby in a panic, holding a letter in his hand, with sad eyes, and when he saw Zhao Zheng, tears suddenly came down,

"Eldest son, something serious has happened, Mr. State Shepherd died in his line of duty!"

Zhao Zheng snatched the letter and checked the contents.

After a while, Zhao Zheng finished reading the content and sat down on the chair in a trance.

"My lord, please mourn!" Guo Quan comforted with grief.

Zhao Zheng had already known about Zhao Xuan's death in advance, so now that he heard the official announcement, he didn't feel too fluctuated in his heart.

Half of the appearance at this time is pretending.

What he is thinking now is how to deal with the next situation.

This letter was sent from Yuncheng, written in the identity of his mother, Mrs. Li Shuxian Zhoumu.

The general content of the letter is that Zhao Xuan, the state shepherd, was unfortunately shot by Liu Ya while fighting against the bandits on the border, and died. Zhao Xuan will be buried in ten days!

The news of Zhou Xuan's death has been reported to Yandu, asking for a reward. At the same time, Yandu will select a new Yunzhou shepherd candidate, and the imperial decree will arrive in ten days. At that time, the new state shepherd will summon all the city lords in Yuncheng!
At the end of the letter, it was also emphasized that before the imperial decree, all affairs in Yunzhou were presided over by the second son Zhao Xing.

This official letter is very official, everything is justified, and things are done according to the rules.

However, combined with the current situation, many details are very debatable.

Yandu is too busy to take care of himself now, and Zhou Wu is unable to centralize power to rule the states at all. Zhou Wu is already tired of coping with the internal and external troubles of the dynasty. Although no state has stood up to rebel on the surface, some of them are preparing for the rebellion in private.

Such as the Wang family!
Therefore, it is impossible for Yan to parachute a state shepherd over here. In that case, the new state shepherd would not be able to succeed, not to mention that the Wang family would be the first to stand up and declare the independence of Yunzhou.

With the beginning, there will inevitably be a second state, and a third state. At that time, they will really tear their skins apart, kick off the prelude to the troubled times, and start a new struggle for hegemony.

The Wang family and Zhou Wu must both understand this truth.

If Zhou Wu wants to stabilize the situation, he can only develop his strength slowly, and then find opportunities to gather power, instead of resorting to extreme measures.

The Wang family also didn't want to be the first to jump out to rebel, because the first to jump out would become a rebel, and others would be able to justifiably attack him and take advantage of the opportunity to annex Yunzhou.

In this way, as long as the Wang family knows how to do things and give certain benefits to Zhou Wu, and the two sides reach a tacit agreement, Zhao Xing can be granted the title of Yunzhou Shepherd, and this position can be confirmed.

"Guo Chengzhu, I want to stay by myself for a while, please go back first!"

Zhao Zheng left these words, turned around and walked into the room, Zhao Yun followed immediately!
"Go find Yuan Zhi and come see me!" Zhao Zheng said after entering the room.

Xu Shu was busy for two days and one night without closing his eyes, Zhao Zheng just let him go to rest.

……

"My lord, now that the news of Master Zhou's death has spread throughout Yunzhou, it's time for you to choose.

This cloud city is full of dangers for you, you have to be cautious whether you want to go or not. "Xu Shu frowned, he was also very troubled.

Zhao Xuan died, and Zhao Zheng, as his son, had to go back to attend the funeral, otherwise it would be unreasonable. In this era, filial piety is greater than the sky, and those who are not filial will be spurned by others, and their character will not be able to stand up.

However, if Zhao Zheng went there, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, with nine deaths, or even ten deaths.

No matter how high the IQ is, Xu Shu has nothing to do. He can't let Zhao Zheng be called unfilial and prevent Zhao Zheng from going, but he also knows the danger.

Zhao Zheng was also in a dilemma because of this.

And his mother is still in Yuncheng, which means she is under the control of the Wang family.

He could never do something like abandoning his father and mother, otherwise he would not be a son of man. With such a person, who would want to join him, and what name would he use to fight for hegemony in the world.

Therefore,
The trip to Yuncheng cannot be avoided.

"How to break the situation?"

Zhao Zheng is in trouble!

"Squeak!" At this moment Zhao Yun opened the door and came in.

"Young Master, someone is asking to see you, claiming to be your brother, and he is outside!"

Zhao Zheng sat up fiercely, and Zhao Pu came.

"Bring him here quickly, it's just in time!"

　Everyone vote for it, help out if you like it, and give a five-star praise!mwah! ! !
