More explosive news came to the capital again.

As the Khitan Grand Tutor, Zheng Lang felt the trust of the Khitan Emperor, so he taught the Khitan Crown Prince that day. The Khitan Emperor attended. Before the lecture, looking at the past and present, talking about the length of the Khitan was comparable to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei’s Longzhong match...

It's said that there are noses and eyes.

Zhang Fangping couldn't sit still. He and Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen, Cai Xiang, and Wang Su, Lu Gongzhu, who made the record, were participants in Fanlou Banquet and could be involved. He and Zeng Gongliang had already posted the Zheng mark.

In fact, when Zheng Lang chose these people, he had a deep intention. First of all, virtue and caution was good. He did not expect that each virtue and caution could reach the height of Fan Zhongyan. Secondly, he had talent and a gentle attitude. The main thing was talent, and each had his own talents. For example, Zhang Fangping's economic insights, Wang Yaochen and both civil and military, Wang Su's advice was very objective and never impatient, Cai Xiang's ability to understand miscellaneous studies, Fu Bi's overall view, let alone Zeng Gongliang, an arms expert.

If it were Zheng Langyi, a team would be built up. Everyone was a practical worker.

No one else knew his ideas, and he thought they were all like-minded and moderate.

However, Zhang Fangping did not think that Fu Bi and Cai Xiang were Wenshu ministers. He was not in the capital, so he only made an appointment with Zeng Gongliang to come to the inn. Zhang Hai went out and sent someone to find Zhang Hai, sit down and ask.

Zhang Hai said dissatisfiedly: "This is a false accusation. The Khitan Emperor asked Prince Zheng to preside over the imperial examination. I also heard it from the side, but Prince Zheng did not agree. He just agreed to participate if the papers were approved, but he would not participate as any Khitan official."

Zhang Fangping and Zeng Gongliang looked at each other and understood in their hearts that what Zhang Hai said was true. Zheng Lang made a strange plan when he was young and sent many learned scholars to the Khitans, causing the Khitans to value culture over military affairs, and lost their former strengths - the spirit of military power. If they were to play like the Song Dynasty, their population would be only one-tenth of that of the Song Dynasty. The economy might be only one-twentieth, then the Khitans would be in short order. They even advised and sent many monks to preach Buddhism.

The court obeyed his wishes and sent scholars on a large scale twice, including Ouyang Xiu, to Khitan.

Because some scholars were cowardly and did not perform well. They played some roles, but the effect was not very great. Zheng Lang's approach was still based on Cheng's strategy, making the Khitan emphasize civilians over military affairs. As long as they did not hold an official position, there would be no big problem. Zhang Fangping said seriously: "We know, but you don't have to talk nonsense in the future. Don't say anything if someone is framed."

Zhang Hai is just a small person. It would be too easy if Jia Changchao wanted to mess with Zhang Hai. It was nothing wrong with the people. The Khitan wanted to use Li Ling's strategy, which caused the illusion of Zheng Lang's surrender. He wanted the Song Dynasty to kill the Zheng family, so that Zheng Lang could not return. But the current emperor is not the Emperor Wu of Han. As long as Zheng Lang comes back, everything can be clarified, and they do not believe that Zheng Lang will take up the position of Khitan.

After the two left, Wu Yu also found Zhang Hai.

Wu Yu was helpless either.

He is not a fan of Fanlou Banquet, but he is worried about the court.

Even if a gentleman formed a clique and made the emperor disgusted, the emperor was overly corrected. Look at what people were in the court, Chen Zhizhong did not do anything, Song Xiang did not have much talent, Wang Yiyong was a good person, Ding Du was confused all day long, Jia Chang Chao covered the sky, which was worse than Lu Yijian at the time. There were other people, Su Shen, who was aggressive, slandered people through goodness, and did many evil deeds. He was taken to Heyang by Taichen.

Wu Yu's idea was quite wrong. Su Shen was originally capable, but why did he slander a gentleman? What did gentlemen do to him in the past? If it weren't for the gentlemen's beginning, how could Su Shen be like this?

This is called rewarding one for one.

Then he went to Liang Shi. He was once recommended by gentlemen and was appointed as an important official. However, after he took office, like Su Shen, he saw the gentlemen fall, and maliciously slandering him to charm Jia Changchao. Su Shen was not disappointed, and Liang Shi disappointed Wu Yu very much.

These two people are in the two bans, and they are called Caotou Mujiao, and they fall into the dark Zhuo. Caotou is Su Shen, and Mujiao is Liang Shi. Later, there is a rumor that Xue Juji and Hu Ju of the Southern Song Dynasty were bothered by Caotou, and the world was miserable. Su Liang and the two of them only harmed the scholars and officials, but these two people harmed the people of the world.

The statements are all wrong and not that serious. Xue Hu, who came later, actually had many remarkable political achievements. Liang and Su were even more capable of officials. It depends on how to use it. If Zheng Lang was the prime minister, these two people would definitely use it. Even Liang Shi did not use it. Should Wang Yiyong be used? At least Liang Shi was far superior to Comrade Song in terms of administration.

But from Wu Yu's perspective, the sky is falling.

Lao Fan probably can't get up anymore, and Fu Han has also had food, and only Zheng Lang can bring hope to people.

However, Jia Changchao did not let go, and such a big rumor arose. Wu Yu knew it must be fake, but how many ordinary people believed that if Zheng Lang came back and threw rotten eggs all over the capital, would Zheng Lang still use it?

How complicated is this? With Zhang Hai’s personal experience, how can we see through so much truth?

Zhang Fangping came and went, and after leaving a word, he couldn't tell whether Zhang Fangping was a good person or a bad person, what was his relationship with Zheng Lang. Wu Yu came and couldn't tell whether he was even more clear. But remember Zhang Fangping's words, it's never said that someone was framed by Zheng Lang.

Say the passage again.

Zhang Fangping asked once, so the second time asked was stolen. Wu Yu had never asked, so he asked very carefully. He had no relationship with Zheng Lang, so he said: "I know that this is wrong. Even if I go on a mission, don't seek peace and inaction. Why should I mobilize the masses and teach people to study? Even if the Khitan master requested, he could not agree. Why should I write a letter to ask Your Majesty?"

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Zheng, is not what you and I know," said Zhang Hai.

Wu Yu looked at the robber and suddenly laughed and said, "You are indeed quite brave."

It is not easy to be able to rebuke a minister like this.

If you know some of the truth, but think that Zheng Lang is a mistake, you should explain the whole story clearly in the secret letter, but if you can't explain it clearly in the secret letter, and the rumors are strong, what should you do? With Zheng Lang's ability, he does have the ability to do something right in Longzhong. So the rumors are fake, but they are easy to make the people believe it and leave with a bitter face.

It was not over, Ding Du and Song Xiang joined forces again.

He is not very close to Zheng Lang, but it is not bad. This rumor is spreading fiercely and is not good for Zheng Lang. I asked about the situation. They had had many dealings with Zheng Lang. After asking, Ding Du sighed: "Why is this action meticulous? "

Da Song thought for a long time and said, "This is probably a Khitan strategy."

"It's possible. Bo Xi, you and I will write to Your Majesty tomorrow, and don't let the Khitan demon plan succeed."

"Grandpa Ding, Grandpa Song. What you said is very much," Zhang Hai knelt down and said. He thought to himself that there was a normal person, and the first two people were a little abnormal.

As soon as the two left, Chen Zhizhong came to the inn and sat down and said, "Zhang Hai."

"Here," Zhang Hai was also a little confused at this time. There were so many big bosses. Of course, did Zheng Lang become a Khitan official? How much would it be involved? It even shakes the safety of the entire country. As the prime minister, can you just ask?

"My son-in-law was once a student of Zheng Xingzhi."

"I understand, Yan Rong."

"It's him," Chen Zhizhong smiled with satisfaction. He was not as strict and honorable as Zheng Lang's other students in terms of qualifications, but he was low-key and simple. Such a person would enter the career of the officialdom very slowly, but he would not experience big ups and downs.

"I've met Mr. Chen."

"No need to be polite, you can tell the truth to me."

"Okay," Zhang Hai said the story and answered Zhang Fangping like that. To be honest, even if Zheng Lang is your son-in-law, I can't believe it.

Chen Zhizhong did not comment and left after listening.

Starve said: "Many husbands."

"Yes," Zhang Hai wiped the sweat from his head. Although he was brave, he could see such a great person. It undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on him. But among these slaughter, how many of them were sincere to Mr. Zheng? He couldn't figure it out.

Then the biggest god arrived.

Jia Changchao came to the inn, with an approachable expression and a spring breeze on his face. He did not ask Zheng Lang first, but asked Zhang Hai: "Zhang Hai. This time you went to Khitan and tried your best to make me appreciate it."

Zhang Hai was very moved. This Jiaogong is very good. Zheng Lang would not tell him nothing, "I am not against Jia Changchao, this person is not a good person." So Zhang Hai knew that someone in the court would take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the blame, but he didn't know which person or those people it was."

Jia Changchao continued to maintain a kind smile on his face. Cai Zheng Lang was not very good, and the food was not good, and he could lose several big teeth, but Cai, the bandit leader, relaxed. He continued, "Where is your official position now?"

"There are the heads below."

"It's just my boss. You have made great contributions to this trip. I will take care of the Ministry of Personnel another day and move you to the top."

"Grandpa Jia, before, was a bandit, committed a death row. He was benevolent and forgiven my crimes. He was moved to the capital again. He was satisfied and dared not move again."

"It is rare to know that mistakes can be corrected, but it is not difficult to fill in desires," Jia Changchao praised and said, "Recently, I have heard some rumors in the capital that are very bad for Zheng Xingzhi."

"Good Master Jia, that's all fake."

"Speak and listen."

Fortunately, Zhang Hai was very clever and did not dare to say it in depth. He repeated what he said to Zhang Fangping. Jia Changchao walked around and said, "That's to say, how could Zheng Xingzhi hold a Khitan official position? Then Xingzhi was unwilling to help the Khitan imperial examination, but he just asked you to come back and bring a letter to the court to refuse?"

"It's almost the same," Zhang Hai said for a moment.

Jia Changchao walked around again. Zheng Lang participated in the Khitan imperial examination, which had the benefits of participating, which allowed him to do a lot of work. If he did not participate, he would make a grudge with the Khitans. The Khitans would not be afraid of the Song Dynasty. Once he hated Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang would not want to come back no matter what his plan was. The best result was that the court disagreed, and Zheng Lang participated in the Khitan imperial examination, so he had a good chess game in his hand.

Zhang Hai has been trapped.

This is also normal. In terms of force, one Zhang Hai can beat ten Jia Changchao. In terms of conspiracy, no matter how clever Zhang Hai is, he is not as ten of Jia Changchao's.

Jia Changchao turned around again and asked, "Xingzhi asked you to come back, what words did you say?"

Zhang Hai almost said it. But suddenly, Zheng Langtuo's solemn expression appeared in front of him. He suddenly woke up and said, "No."

This expression was quickly seen by Jia Changchao.

Without making a sound, leave.

Indeed, in terms of conspiracy, neither Wu Yu nor Zhang Fangping were as good as that.

Is it easy to make Zheng Jian fight Teng Zongliang internally? However, Jia Changchao realized it. Zheng Lang still can't understand it. He did not attack Zhang Hai, but instead attacked Zhang Hai's other subordinate, Bian Sheng, who was bored in the capital. The six of them often went out to eat, drink and have fun. It was not too much, and they were the leader of the scholar-officials themselves.

Bian Sheng came to a brothel, drank flower wine, and hugged his sister. The person next to him heard that he was back from the Khitan. He was curious and invited him to have a drink and took money to treat him. Bian Sheng did not expect anything else. The two of them were drinking and flattering each other. After a while, Bian Sheng asked him to take out his words. Zheng Lang called Zhang Hai and had a long conversation, and the group was caught by the Khitan robbers. They took advantage of Bian Sheng's drunkenness and got it out.

In just a moment, the news came to Jia Changchao's ears. Jia Changchao analyzed it and understood six or seventy percent. But there were still many who didn't understand it and were thinking in their minds. If they wanted to figure out the incident, they still had to pry Zhang Hai's mouth open.

But it was too late for him to do it.

Cui Xian came to the capital from Zhengzhou. It was not her. Although the atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty was still very open, it needed some taboos after all. But it didn't matter. There were five concubines in the family. The mother asked her son what she couldn't ask.

Seeing Cui Xian coming, Zhang Hai wanted to cry with grievance.

Is this easy? So many big guys questioned me. Who are these people smart?

After looking at the empresses, it was not that they didn’t believe in Zheng Lang’s mother, but that these mothers were the same as themselves and their knowledge might not be that long-term. It doesn’t matter if Mr. Zheng was in the Song Dynasty. Now he is not in the Song Dynasty. If someone is involved in the conversation, it would be a big deal.

Cui Xian said to the empresses: "Sanniang, Siniang, Wuniang, Liuniang, Qiniang, you can avoid it first."

When the aunt and the second wife went, it was said that Sanniang supported her family, but Sanniang came from a commoner family and dared not take it. If Siniang asked Siniang to support her, Siniang didn't dare, so she gave it to her daughter-in-law. This was not a solution. As soon as Zheng Lang came back, the couple would have to go out sooner. It would be better to be an official in the capital and be close to Zhengzhou. If they were released, it would be very bad. But there is no hurry, you can take it slowly. Now the most important thing is to wait for their son to come back. In fact, Cui Xian was already making the decision at this time.

Several empresses went out, and Cui Xian said, "Zhang Hai, you said it's okay. I only know all the plans of my officials."

"Mr. Zheng told me before leaving, asking me to tell you that everything is fine in the Khitan is not to worry. However, before leaving, he also told me that if Your Majesty summons him and there is a minister beside him, don't say it deeper. Only the eunuch and the palace maid are on the side, and I also want to dare to say to Your Majesty, please don't spread what I said. Then he said, "Mr. Zheng is not to worry, but Mr. Zheng is worried about the country and is worried that someone in the court will be falsely accused, so Mr. Zheng will be in danger in the Khitan. As expected, Mr. Zheng guessed that there were many rumors spreading in the capital. But the emperor did not summon me..."

"It's not that the emperor didn't summon you... who has been here these days?"

"There are many people coming..." Zhang Hai came out.

"I understand. The emperor probably wanted to summon you, but was stopped, so he asked Zhang Fangping to ask you."

"Zhang Zhongcheng?"

"He worked with my official in the northwest for a long time and was on the same list as Jinshi, so his relationship was relatively quiet."

"Then can Zhang Zhongcheng believe it?"

"I don't know, you can do whatever the officials tell you. But there is one person, don't believe it."
