The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 664

As night fell, Yuanyang City gradually fell asleep.

With Zhao Yanxun's return, many people are bound to be unable to sleep tonight.

In the past few days when Cao Yunhui arrived in Yuanyang, he often communicated with the officials of the palace.

Under his propaganda, the officials knew how vicious Zhao Weilong was and how weak the court under Zhao Weilong was.

The result of this is that the officials of the palace faintly feel that the palace should send troops to suppress the thieves, and the possibility of success in suppressing the thieves is still very high.

And once the thief is successfully suppressed, King Yong will become the emperor, and those who become officials will have feats comparable to the founding of the country, and it is not impossible for them to be famous in history.

With the support of this idea, Guan Hetai found Zhou Chengping.

Entering the small courtyard of Zhou's family, Guan Hetai was very surprised to see Zhou Chengping pushing the millstone.

Although it is now the end of the world, the chief historian in charge of the two counties in the Northwest actually has to grind his own face, which is a bit ridiculous to say.

But if standing in front of Zhou Chengping, normal people would not be able to laugh, who can laugh at a person with a noble personality?

Standing under the dim candlelight, Guan Hetai sighed, "Old Zhou, why are you doing this?"

Zhou Chengping didn't stop, and said while working: "Is it bitter? I don't think it's bitter. Do some work, exercise your muscles and bones, there's nothing wrong with it!"

This is tantamount to chatting to death, so that Guan and Tai froze in place, not knowing what to say.

Even if he didn't take bribes, Zhou Chengping could live a more comfortable life. He really asked for everything in front of him, because he didn't want to take any more money from the public.

At this time, I heard Zhou Chengping say: "Anyway, you are here, and you are idle if you are idle. Why don't you come and help me with my work and treat you to tea later!"

Guan Hetai said helplessly: "You are reluctant to hire someone to do the work, but you have awakened me!"

Taking advantage of this sentence, Guan Hetai also started to work, thinking about how to speak next.

After crunching for a long time, Guan Hetai couldn't help but said, "You can really hold your breath!"

"You want to talk about the capital?"

"Shouldn't you be talking about this?"

Seeing that Zhou Chengping was silent, Guan Hetai said, "There are thieves in the capital who are stealing the country and killing the king. Your Highness is furious when he hears about it. As ministers, shouldn't we do something?"

In fact, when Guan Hetai came to find Zhou Chengping, he wanted to work together with him.

What are you doing?Naturally, it was a matter of persuading and admonishing Zhao Yanxun to raise troops to suppress the thieves.

After a few moments of silence, Guan Hetai put down the thing in his hand and said, "Old Zhou, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Among the civil officials, although Zhou Chengping, the Zuo Changshi, has the highest status, it is the right Changshi, Cheng Wenguang, who is the most powerful.

The reason for this dislocation is that on the one hand, Zhou Chengping is not good at fighting for power, and on the other hand, because officials from Longyou are naturally close to Cheng Wenguang.

If Guan Hetai was still in the Changshi Division, Cheng Wenguang would not be allowed to become bigger, and now he can handle things by himself.

Facing Guan Hetai's question, Zhou Chengping thought for a while and said, "I think...you have to be cautious about this matter!"

"What does it mean to be cautious?" Guan Hetai looked puzzled.

"What's the situation in the capital? It's only Cao Yunhui's opinion. I'm afraid that this person will deceive His Highness and lead the palace to the point of no return..."

Guan Hetai never expected that Zhou Chengping would say such a thing.

Now that the palace has a strong army and horses, does it matter whether it is true or false?It's not about whoever has the bigger fists has the bigger reason.

Right now, they only need to push King Yong one step forward, and the army of the palace will wipe out everything, allowing everyone in Prince Yong's palace to make contributions to the Jing Kingdom, and their names will go down in history.

This is the normal brain circuit, not such a dead-headed one like Zhou Chengping.

At this moment, Guan Hetai understands why Zhou Chengping is not very interested in this. It turns out that they are not on the same channel at all.

"Old Zhou, I advise you not to speak nonsense, as a minister, you should solve your father's difficulties, not just think about it!"

This is Guan Hetai's kind reminder to Zhou Chengping as an old friend for many years, and this has already been said quite blatantly.

Zhou Chengping didn't answer, but he was as clear as a mirror in his heart, and he could understand what Guan Hetai said.

It's just that the "education" he has received over the years prevents him from doing certain things.

The army of the Fifteen Guards went straight to the southeast, Zhou Chengping understood Zhao Yanxun's thoughts no matter how stupid he was, not to mention the news from Cao Yunhui.

Regarding this, Zhou Chengping stopped talking, while Guan Hetai could only sigh.

Since he couldn't be persuaded, Guan Hetai decided to go it alone, and he could do things by himself.

The two of them were not having a happy conversation here, and Cheng Wenguang's mansion on the other side of the mansion city also welcomed two friends at this moment.

The ones who came to the door at night were Kuguanzheng Dingyan and Dianyizheng Xu An, both of them were officials from the Longyou Clan, they could be regarded as Cheng Wenguang's confidantes.

After the door was closed, Cheng Wenguang said, "The Emperor and Concubine Duan have already been enshrined in the hall of worship, and His Highness has gone to the hall of worship just now to keep watch!"

Ding Hong and Xu An also knew about this news.

Ding Hong was more straightforward, and asked simply: "My lord...do you have a plan for how to do things next?"

Cheng Wenguang replied: "How to act depends on His Highness's mind!"

"My lord, please clarify!" Xu An answered.

Cheng Wenguang picked up the teacup, stroked his beard and said, "The fifteen guards marched to Zhenxi Pass, do you really not understand what His Highness is thinking?"

"Nowadays there are national thieves in the court, and it is justified for His Highness to raise troops to suppress the thieves!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Wenguang said with a serious expression: "What we have to do is to do our best to be loyal to the ministers, to persuade His Highness to obey the destiny, to follow the king's way, to punish the country's thieves...to take back what belongs to us!"

In fact, Ding Yan and Ding Yan also thought the same way, but neither of them wanted to be the first bird, so they approached Cheng Wenguang.

"Starting tomorrow, you all have to move, go pull our people, and play together to persuade His Highness!"

Cheng Wenguang sighed and said: "The father is in trouble, how can a minister just sit and watch!"

Making trouble at this time is somewhat similar to the effect of "persuading people to advance". Naturally, those who make a lot of noise will benefit the most in the future.

For this matter, Cheng Wenguang already has a very systematic idea, and now only needs someone to implement it.

"Understandable!"

Cheng Wenguang smiled, and then said: "Just understand!"

"You two... After this matter is done, we will definitely be famous in history!"

In fact, except for Zhou Chengping, who is a morally perfect person, all the senior officials in the palace think about their past and future.

For the sake of power, status and reputation in history, they will do anything.

Even if the one in the capital is the first to ascend the throne, even if there is no news from Cao Yunhui, someone like Cheng Wenguang will push Zhao Yanxun on the road of supremacy at the right time.

In Longyou, the land where Taizong Zhao Hongzhang was born, officials, soldiers and civilians must have a deeper understanding of the truth of the position of "the son of heaven is strong in soldiers and horses".

"Tomorrow...we will contact our colleagues!" Ding Yan said.

I only heard Xu An ask: "Apart from the people in Yuanyang, the officials of the prefectures and counties...do you also want to be notified!"

Cheng Wenguang nodded and said: "Of course we need to be notified. As I said just now, we must make the momentum as big as possible, so as to reflect the expectations of everyone!"

At this time Ding Yan said: "In this way, not only the officials of the prefecture and county, but also the people of Yuanyang Mansion, can let them petition!"

There are a large number of people, and they are encouraged to petition, which is something Cheng Wenguang did not expect. This is the benefit of discussing together.

I only heard Cheng Wenguang say: "The momentum should be as large as possible, and you all have to think of ways!"

"Tomorrow, our people will present at least ten memorials!"
