Chapter 160 The Eight Great Kings

"Eight, Eight Kings," Si'er's face, which began to become pretty, suddenly turned blue and white, her upper teeth touched her lower teeth, and her body trembled.

The old lady was always on guard against Zhao Yuanyan, and she had to guard against him. From Emperor Taizong of Song to Emperor Zhenzong of Song, she loved him very much and kept him in the palace, so she did not let him come out. It was not until that fire that Emperor Zhenzong of Song was amused and crying that he let him come out to open the mansion.

Because I have been in the palace for a long time, there are many rumors among the people and my prestige is also very high. If there is any abnormal movement among the kings, only he will have the highest chance of success. But just beware of the guards, there is nothing to say to me when I am on the side of the house. What kind of grand masters and swords are not worshipped in court, and the rewards are given by ordinary people, and the carts are pulled to his house.

This made him stand out among the people, and his face was very ugly, so the people of Kaifeng City, including many officials, were very scared when they saw Zhao Yuanyan.

Of course, Sier had heard of his name, and then thought about the holidays between his little master and him. At this time, his little body was so scared that he was like sifting candy.

Lian Jiang Xing'er's expression also became unnatural.

"Don't be afraid, he is not a human-eating tiger," Zheng Lang comforted him and said to Manager Yan: "Thank you, Manager Yan."

The Eight Kings came to find him. Do you still need to wait for Manager Yan to report it? Isn’t it a rebellion? So Manager Yan immediately ran to the backyard to inform him, so that Zheng Lang was prepared.

After saying that, Zheng Lang left the room. No matter what grudges, Zhao Yuanyan was the most noble prince in the Song Dynasty at this time. He could not neglect his etiquette, but Zheng Lang was not afraid. The old lady did not make him afraid. You are just a prince, not a prince of the Han and Tang dynasties. As for the prince of Zhao Song, what can you do? As for respect, you have to take out something to make me respect it!

For example, the old lady was merciful and kind, and the reason why she knelt down was not because she was the empress dowager, but more because she was a charitable elder. She did some things for the little emperor, which was kind, like the strange thoughts in the little emperor's heart, and also had a care! Not only these two people, Liu Chu, who respected his teachers, Fan Zhongyan, who was noble in character, taught him piano skills, and Wei Zhongzheng, who played with him in the mountains and flowing waters, also made him respect them.

As for the Eight Virtue Kings, go to hell.

I was a little apologized in my heart, but I didn't do it very brilliantly, but when I thought about the faces of the Eight Kings that day and the kindness of the old lady to him, Zheng Lang felt no longer guilty.

With this feeling, the result of Zhao Yuanyan's visit is destined!

When we were welcomed to the hospital, we saw Zhao Yuanyan breaking in with a few servants in a fierce manner. There was a group of curious guests hanging behind him, but he didn't dare to get close and followed behind to watch the drama from afar.

Zheng Lang walked forward, bowed calmly and said, "I pay homage to His Highness, King Yan."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuanyan snorted coldly and entered the small yard. The followers he brought behind closed the yard with a "bang".

Coupled with his cold and solemn face, he has a strong aura. If he were an ordinary person, he would really scare him.

However, he met an opponent this time, just like Ouyang Xiu met Du Yan, and he hit the cotton with one punch, without making a sound.

Zheng Lang smiled and made a call, welcomed Zhao Yuanyan into the room, and said, "Please sit down."

After saying that, he was about to make tea for Zhao Yuanyan. Sier and Jiang Xing'er should not count on it at this time. It is very promising to be able to stand in the corner of the wall to stand firm. Even the shopkeeper Yan leaned against the wall and didn't dare to let out a moment of excitement. Zhao Yuanyan didn't expect that the shopkeeper Yan came to report the message, and he didn't come and slipped away in a hurry. He thought it was an old servant of the Zheng family. He glanced at the people in the room and said directly: "Zheng family, no, I will leave after saying a few words."

"Please give me instructions."

Looking at Zheng Lang's calm expression, Zhao Yuanyan frowned and said, "Do you want to go against me?"

"Are you wrong? Your Highness, the ancients said that you should repay the favor of someone with a drop of water. Besides, the Empress Dowager valued me so much. If I were not present, I would give you what I should do? Then what is the use of these books?" He pointed to a bunch of Confucian books behind him and said, "It's either Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, or the Empress Dowager, who did something wrong with Your Majesty, I would also write a letter to advise you. However, I looked angry and my words were a little impulsive. I just told Your Majesty in the palace that it is the right punishment to close it for some time. Right is right, wrong is wrong. If the minister is wrong, the minister will admit it. Zigong said, "The fault of a gentleman is like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. If it is wrong, everyone will see it, and everyone will admire it."

I spoke fiercely and I was also a lie. Although I was not a scholar-official, I was also a small Jie Yuan. I admitted to the emperor that I had made mistakes. What else do you have to do? If you don’t make mistakes, everyone can see them. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The key is to correct them. As long as you correct them, everyone will admire him. Including you, the Eight Kings.

It doesn't need to be said explicitly, but the meaning is that Sier can understand it.

At this time, not only did you not correct it, but you instead led a large group of people to come and mobilize many people, and even more mistakes were made.

So if you read Confucian books well, you will have this advantage. You will always use the words of a sage to refute you, leaving you speechless. Although you are not Confucius, who dares to say that Zigong's words are wrong!

Zhao Yuanyan did not answer and hummed and sneered again.

Others sneered, maybe that was the case, but the sneer came out of Zhao Yuanyan's mouth, and with his expression, it made people feel even more heartbroken. After only two hums, Sier's legs were soft and about to fall down, so that Jiang Xing'er could hold them with her hands.

"Alas, the heavens are not a person who hate cold and stop winter, the earths are not a person who is far away and wide, and the gentleman who does not a person who is a villain or a man who is a Hun and a Hun can stop traveling. Heaven has a common way, the earth has a constant number, and the gentleman has a normal body."

From "Xunzi", the sky will not stop winter because people are cold, the earth will not stop vast because people hate the vastness, and a gentleman will not stop doing good deeds because of villains' noise or bad things. Heaven has normal ways, the earth has laws, and gentlemen have certain standards for being a human being.

After all, I have a noble status and I am too clear and not very good. Therefore, I used the saint's words to say something obscurely, "Don't hum, your trick is useless to me. I insist on the duty of a gentleman. No matter how you hum or intimidate you, I will do whatever I should do.

What should I do if I meet someone like this?

Zhao Yuanyan's tense face suddenly relaxed and said, "No matter what happened, I will just reveal it."

Like the little emperor, he also suspected that Zheng Lang knew that his son sent someone to beat him up, so he deliberately took this opportunity to retaliate and weaken his nephew's favor for him, so as to not hinder his future career. This is easier to think about, but like Cheng Lin, he was also confused. He was just a small scholar. At this time, he was a Jinshi and an official of the court. If the official did not become a prime minister, how could he have the courage to have the idea of ​​attacking him? The process in between cannot be explained, unless he knew what he was going to say in advance.

Is that possible?

I was scared when I came to the door and couldn't be scared and had to remind me again, but looking at this kid, I felt a little strange.

Zheng Lang smiled slightly and said, "King Yan, I don't understand your highness's words. If your Highness, or someone else does something wrong, I will still report impeachment whenever I do it right. If you do it right, no matter your Highness, or someone else, I will still praise you and perform the virtues of a gentleman."

"Fulang, you are a young man and know what kind of virtues are you gentlemanly."

"Yes, Mr. Kevin will try to find the road."

"I hope you are a gentleman, and I will wait and see." Zhao Yuanyan said and left. It was not Zheng Lang the previous year, but at that time, he was just a civilian. Even if he ordered someone to beat him up, he would at most let the minister talk. But now he is Jie Yuan, and he has won a greater reputation by scolding himself. If he beat him up, he would not be able to imagine the consequences. Not only could he not be beaten up, but it was possible that others would beat him up, and he might be unable to tell the difference.

"I'm scared to death," Sier said as she watched Zhao Yuanyan leave the small yard and stroked her chest.

Jiang Xing'er was even more worried and said, "Zheng Lang, he is His Majesty's uncle."

"Let me go, Your Majesty is kind and has a sense of responsibility in your heart. I just said to Your Majesty in the palace, and people should be clear about public and private affairs. Besides, our dynasty is not a non-human force scholars to be officials. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, let's go back to Zhengzhou."

"Da Lang has a good idea," Sier said happily. When he saw officials, he felt arrogant. Now he saw too many big shots, and only then did he realize that it was not what he thought. It was better to be Zhengzhou. There was no need to worry, no need to intrigue, and no need to argue with others.

"That won't work," Jiang Xing'er angrily said, everyone said that Zheng Lang has a bright future, so why did he let Zheng Lang return to Zhengzhou to live a secluded life, burying talents.

The two little girls probably scared Zhao Yuanyan just now, so they were ignoring the importance of the matter and wanted to vent the oppression brought by Zhao Yuanyan. Listening to their conversation, Zheng Lang knew very well that Zhao Yuanyan came here today, but he was a serious miscalculation. He had already left a shadow on the little emperor, so he came to the door to intimidate him immediately. What would the little emperor think in his heart?

"Bath!" He shouted in a good mood.

"Here," the two little girls opened the boiling water and asked Zheng Lang to take a shower.

...

Even Zheng Lang agreed to assign a group of confidants, derogating some of the old ladies' confidants, and maintaining the stability of the imperial power. The little emperor began to purge, and the first big boss was Qian Weiyan. You should go to Luoyang to retire again.

Previously, Song Shou and Fan Zhongyan repeatedly asked their adoptive mother to return to power. The two ministers were very loyal to them and immediately recalled them to the capital.

At this time, Xue Kui reminded you, don’t think outside, the palace is also very important, don’t underestimate the eunuchs. From the Qin Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, then to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then to the Tang Dynasty, these little eunuchs often turned upside down, and even the emperor asked them to get rid of several.

To fight against foreign countries, we must start from the inner palace. Especially Luo Chongxun, the support of the old lady, had a huge impact on both inside and outside the palace. So several eunuchs were sad and went out to Jiang Deyong and Yang Chengde was the deputy envoy of Luoyuan. You should also go to Luoyang to retire. Cai Shunqing, Zhang Huaixin, Wu Jilong, Ren Shouzhong and Yang Anjie were the deputy envoys of the preparatory warehouse. Then there was an edict coming down. Jiang Deming arrived in Luoyang, Luo Chongxun arrived in Zhending, Yang Chengde arrived in Tongzhou, Zhang Huaixin arrived in Yuezhou, Yang Anjie arrived in Jinzhou, Wu Jilong arrived in Qizhou, Ren Shouzhong arrived in Huangzhou, and Cai Shunqing arrived in Luzhou.

Originally, the officials in the capital were frightened and frightened. Seeing the little emperor's actions, they were even more scared. So how could they express their loyalty? They had to continue to write to the old lady. The old lady was very bad and bad, even more vicious than Jie and Zhou, even more foolish than King You of Zhou, and even more cruel than Wu Zetian. They cut off all the bamboos in Zhongnan Mountain, and could not write about the old lady's sins.

Fan Zhongyan, who had just arrived in the capital, couldn't stand it anymore and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, don't bother with the past. The Empress Dowager has protected you for more than ten years. Now think about her benefits more and forget everything else."

The words came out of Zheng Lang's mouth, and he said that the boy was kind to his adoptive mother, but from Fan Zhongyan, who had always opposed his adoptive mother, he was even more powerful. Think about Zheng Lang's roar at the Huangyi Palace that day, and he realized that there was something wrong with his adoptive mother, and he finally left him with a complete country and a good body. So he issued an edict, and no one was allowed to discuss the right or wrong of the empress dowager.

Zheng Lang went to the palace to prepare for the portraits of the two empress dowagers, and played a song for the young emperor. After playing the piano, he also said about this: "Your Majesty, if a family is not united, the eldest son wants more property, the second son wants more property, the third son and the fourth son do this. Finally, for the sake of the property, they tear each other apart, will this family get better? "

This question is simple, Xiaohuang shook his head.

"The small ones are the family, the big ones are the country. If this continues, will the ministers who were loyal to the Empress Dowager and the ministers who were loyal to His Majesty have more resentment and contradictions? These people are pillars of the country. Once they are divided into two factions that look at the other party's life and death, what will happen? I have said, "

The little emperor blushed and said in shame: "Zheng Jieyuan, this is a good word, I have neglected it. I wrote two big words for me. It should be bigger, the bigger the better."

"What word?"

"Law."

Zheng Lang was ridiculous and wailing, but if the little emperor really knew the rules, it would be a good thing. He was afraid that he would forget them soon after he was young. So he picked up his pen and wrote two major rules.

But there was a person who kept watching the scene coldly, Lu Yijian.

Seeing the ministers making noise, I sneered in my heart, "Officials, this is not what I do. See how I use the Seven Injury Fist to kill others... and then kill myself."
