The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 873 Helpless
Under Zhou Chengping's gaze, Cheng Wenguang slowly got up.

"Don't look at me like that!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly.

"Old Chengge, the emperor will protect you, otherwise you will be a prisoner!" Zhou Chengping's eyes were burning.

Under his righteous gaze, Cheng Wenguang did not avoid it, but asked instead: "Master Zhou, why don't you think about it, why does the emperor protect me?"

"It's just because you deceived the saint with your clever words..."

Before Zhou Chengping could finish speaking, Cheng Wenguang laughed.

"Master Zhou, that's what you said in the palace, but now you are at the center, why is there no innovation?"

Hearing Cheng Wenguang's teasing words, Zhou Chengping's face became even more ugly.

Cheng Wenguang suppressed his smile and said: "You and I are ministers in the same palace, and we shared weal and woe when we were in Longyou. Why don't you miss the old feelings at all today?"

"Even though we are ministers in the same hall, we have different ways and don't seek each other's plans, and we each follow our own aspirations!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wenguang asked: "You and I both have the heart to assist the Holy One and stabilize the world, how can we praise the difference?"

Regarding the debate, Zhou Chengping was not afraid at all, and he really wanted to "teach Cheng Wenguang a lesson".

"In the name of assisting the Holy Majesty, you are exercising power and accumulating wealth. How can you be like me?"

Cheng Wenguang was silent, Zhou Chengping's accusation was very serious.

"Yes...you are lofty, there is a difference between you and me!" Cheng Wenguang sighed.

Although he stopped arguing and admitted Zhou Chengping's statement, there was no dejected look on his face.

Cheng Wenguang turned around and walked out of Huangji Gate. He planned to go back to have dinner with his family.

Looking at Cheng Wenguang's back, Zhou Chengping went on to say: "With you people here, the imperial court will never have peace, and the world will never be peaceful..."

Hearing these words, Cheng Wenguang stopped in his tracks. At this moment, he was extremely angry because Zhou Chengping didn't understand anything.

Turning around, Cheng Wenguang said with a cold face: "The court is full of people like you, can the world be peaceful?"

"Pointing to the country, encouraging words, a mouth and a pen are enough!"

"Materials need to be allocated, refugees need to be resettled, military supplies need to be transported, and the place needs to be appeased... One by one, can it be done just by talking?"

"Yes...you, Zhou Chengping, have a noble character and outstanding intelligence, but how many people like you are there in Dajin?"

Facing Cheng Wenguang's questioning, Zhou Chengping's thoughts raced through his mind, but he couldn't think of a response for a while.

"As long as you can do things for the emperor and implement the national policy of the court, you are all heroes for An Bang and the country, do you understand?"

Cheng Wenguang took two steps forward, staring straight at Zhou Chengping.

At this moment, Cheng Wenguang profoundly explained what it means to be loyal to the country and what it means to suffer for the country.

In contrast, Zhou Chengping looked aggressive.

"Does it have to be like you in order to stabilize the country?" Zhou Chengping refuted without hesitation.

"As long as the top and bottom officials of the imperial court are all virtuous and talented people, then naturally there will be no traitors as you call them, but is this possible?"

Before Zhou Chengping could speak, Cheng Wenguang continued, "It's absolutely impossible, it's been like this since ancient times!"

"Don't be in a hurry to refute, think carefully, what I said is not true!"

Zhou Chengping fell silent. He knew that what Cheng Wenguang said was true, and that it was indeed impossible for all officials in the court to be saints.

Cheng Wenguang went on to say: "Since it is impossible, we can know that it should be like this. Why should Mr. Zhou be critical and aggressive?"

These words sound reasonable, but Zhou Chengping always feels that something is wrong, but he can't think of how to refute it for a while.

"Forget it... I can't explain it to you!" Cheng Wenguang sighed.

In fact, Cheng Wenguang still kept many things in his heart and couldn't tell Zhou Chengping clearly.

For example, his initial question, why does His Majesty the Emperor, who is illuminated by holy candles, protect his "treacherous minister".

why?Of course not because of being deceived, but because Cheng Wenguang is easy to use.

That's why, the number one "rebellious officials" like Xie Xiaofang and Wang Tinghe are still at the center, each bearing important responsibilities of the court.

Zhao Yanxun's attitude is already very clear, as long as you are capable and obedient, he can appoint you without sticking to one pattern.

In other words, even some "flaws" can be tolerated.

It's just that these words can only be hidden in the heart, and if they are broken, they are courting death.

"Farewell!" Cheng Wenguang shook his head and left on his own.

His anger has disappeared with what he said just now, so at this moment his mood is very peaceful.

But in fact, Cheng Wenguang was wrong. Zhou Chengping was actually very clear about the emperor's employment strategy.

So when he impeached Cheng Wenguang today, he actually wanted to take the opportunity to persuade the emperor, but it's a pity that Zhao Yanxun didn't give him a chance to play.

Sighing, Zhou Chengping also walked out of Huangji Gate, feeling powerless at the moment.

After passing through the deep palace gate, when Zhou Chengping came to the square outside the Huangji Gate, he saw the sky high and the land wide before him, but he slowly adjusted his mentality.

No matter how difficult it is, he will not retreat, and he will do what should be done!

At this moment, Zhou Chengping strengthened his confidence again.

Walking out of Da'anmen, just when Zhou Chengping was thinking about going back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sort out the recent situation, he ran into Guan Hetai, the right envoy of the Privy Council.

"You impeached Cheng Wenguang?" Guan Hetai asked straight to the point.

He met Cheng Wenguang just now and learned the news while chatting with him, so he waited for Zhou Chengping to come out.

Facing his old friend, Zhou Chengping replied concisely: "That's right!"

"you……"

"Why can't you change your temper, now you are working in the imperial court, not in the palace..."

Looking around, Guan Hetai lowered his voice and said, "Aren't you causing trouble for the emperor?"

We could have had a debate, but Zhou Chengping replied: "The emperor asked me to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I was just doing my duty. Whether I am right or wrong, the emperor can judge for himself!"

What Zhou Chengping said was that if he really did something wrong, there would be no place for him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Guan Hetai sighed: "You can do things, but you must take the overall situation into consideration!"

…………

On the Danbi Stone in the Huangji Hall, Zhao Yanxun looked in the direction of the Huangji Gate.

Turning on the system perception ability, he can hear the conversation between the two ministers.

As Cheng Wenguang guessed, Zhao Yanxun could see everything clearly, and he had to turn a blind eye to some things.

There are many people who are against him in the world, if he is too strict with those who follow him, I am afraid that there will be no one under his command.

"Time is too tight!" Zhao Yanxun sighed.

At present, the country is a powder keg, and there are powerful enemies abroad. Zhao Yanxun is also dancing on the wire, and if he is not careful, he will fall on his back.

Looking into the distance, Zhao Yanxun went on to say: "After this year, the autumn grain harvest should be able to relieve a lot!"

Not only him, both inside and outside the court are very concerned about the harvest of autumn grain.

As long as this year passes smoothly, the imperial court will have a chance to breathe and arrange affairs for next year calmly.

"Wu Hong..." Zhao Yanxun raised his voice.

"The servant is here!"

Zhao Yanxun asked, "What happened to Lin Quan just now?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Lin Quan said that 120 gentry families have been found to have participated in the turmoil. Although the rest of the zombies are suspected, the evidence is slightly insufficient!" Wu Hong replied cautiously.

"The evidence is insufficient, so continue to investigate. Does this still need to be reported?"

After a pause, Zhao Yanxun added: "Tell him, you can check how you want, don't worry too much!"

Obviously, Lin Quan asked Zhao Yanxun for his opinion when he encountered resistance in investigating the case.

"Follow the order!" Wu Hong replied cautiously.
