Shangdu, the imperial palace.
After experiencing the previous shock in Shangdu and losing 30% of the power of the dragon veins, the entire Shangdu is now cracked everywhere. Even the palace seemed to have experienced an earthquake. Many buildings collapsed, dust was everywhere, and everywhere The person who was packing up his things looked very embarrassed.
Only the "Dragon Hall" where the root of the dragon's veins is located is still intact at this time, and Huang Shang and others were brought here by Dayu, Zheng Zhuanggong and others to discuss matters related to accountability and compensation.
"This time, if there is no Daozi to help save the people of our country Zheng from the turmoil of the demons, I am afraid that their lives will be in danger, and my country of Zheng will also be in danger of destroying the country."
"Ji Wusheng, thank you Daozi."
In the main hall, Zheng Zhuanggong waved away many of his subordinates, leaving only him and Dayu. Then he walked up to Huang Chang, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
"This is what I should do. One thing is another thing. Although you Zheng Guo colluded with Yuanshi Tianmo, it has nothing to do with the people. Even if you don't speak, I will find a way to save them."
Huang Chang waved his hand, and didn't care about Zheng Zhuanggong's attitude, but said lightly: "Of course, although I rescued them, it doesn't prevent me from coming to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. Collusion with Yuanshi Tianma, your business capital will eventually die." I need to give an explanation."
"I also ask Daozi to be clear. I don't know about this matter. It must be that the grandson and grandson were bewitched by the demons, so he committed such a heinous crime."
Hearing Huang Chang's words, Zheng Zhuanggong took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "This person has always been narrow-minded, impulsive and jealous. I thought he had changed now, but I didn't expect... Hey, it's all because I don't know people well. .”
The "Gongsunzidu" he mentioned was the leader of the team sent by the Shangdu to the Blood Prison Youquan this time, and now it is also in Huang Chang's hands.
"You know people but don't know? No, you don't know good from evil!"
However, in the face of Zheng Zhuanggong's behavior of putting all the responsibility on Gongsunzidu, Huang Chang smiled disdainfully: "Even Gongsunzidu is such a backstabbing person that you don't kill him, and you still entrust him with a heavy responsibility. I really don't like it." I know what you think!"
This grandson is still a celebrity, because he is the "source" of the idiom "stabbing in the back".
When Zheng Zhuanggong attacked the State of Xu, he sent his veteran general Ying Kaoshu and the young general Gongsun Zidu, a young archer known as the most beautiful man in the world, to lead an army to attack the State of Xu. But on the way, the grandsons and grandsons were arrogant because of their pets, and had conflicts with Ying Kao Shu. Later, when Ying Kao Shu defeated the Xu Kingdom, because of jealousy of Ying Kao Shu's achievements, he secretly shot and killed Ying Kao Shu.
This is the origin of the idiom of backstabbing!
But Zheng Zhuanggong knew that Gongsunzi had committed such a serious crime, but he couldn't bear to punish Gongsunzidu, which became a typical example of him not knowing people, good and evil.
But what about Zheng Zhuanggong? He is still stubborn, and even entrusted such an important task of suppressing Yuanshi Tianmo to Gongsunzi in the last days, it's no wonder that nothing happened.
"..."
Perhaps it was too long since he had been reprimanded face to face. Hearing Huang Chang's words at this moment, Zheng Zhuanggong's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed the anger. He took a deep breath and nodded. Said: "Yes, this is my responsibility, but the collusion with the demon is indeed the work of Gongsun Zidu alone, and has nothing to do with my royal family. Please enlighten me!"
Su yo is stronger than others. At this moment, he can only give in, hoping to minimize the loss.
"Who said it has nothing to do with the royal family?"
But the next moment, what Huang Chang said made Zheng Zhuanggong shudder, and an unbelievable look appeared in his eyes: "According to the information we got from Gongsun Zidu, there are not many people in Shangdu who participated in this matter." It’s just him alone. Besides him, there is Jizu who is known as the number one counselor of your Shang capital, and your concubine, son Tu.”
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Huang Chang's eyes: "If you don't believe me, do you want me to confront them on the spot?"
He didn't lie, and he didn't fabricate any memories, because from the information obtained from Gongsunzidu's memory, it was indeed the conspiracy of Gongsunzidu, Jizu and Gongzitu.
Only these three favored ministers, counselors and heirs joined forces to make such an incident without hiding the truth from Zheng Zhuanggong.
"Jizu, Young Master Tu? How dare they!"
Zheng Zhuanggong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Although his face was full of disbelief, in fact he believed most of it in his heart.
No one knows Jizu and Young Master Tu better than him!
These two are ambitious people, especially Jizu, who not only assisted him to take the position, but also laid out various overall plans when he was old, and finally even designed to coerce Lishu after his death, making the originally unqualified The succeeding son suddenly became the lord of the country, known as Zheng Ligong.
But now that I have been reborn in the last days and have achieved success in cultivation, I have already regarded myself as an immortal body. Under such circumstances, these two ambitious people will naturally not be willing to submit to their subordinates forever, and it is possible to do anything of.
It's just that he didn't expect that these two people would be so courageous, and even colluded with Yuanshi Tianmo, and now they have brought disaster to Shangdu.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuanggong seemed to have been sucked out of his whole body, his body was a little bit swollen, he let out a long sigh, and said: "Believe it or not, I really don't know about this... But it's okay to say this now. It's useless, I still hope Daozi will be kind, even if it's because we have protected these tens of millions of people for a long time, leave some incense for our lineage..."
"Besides, Ji Yusheng let Daozi deal with it, even if it means my life... I have nothing to say."
After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Huang Chang again.
My son, the number one counselor and his favored ministers colluded with the Yuanshi Tianmo, but I didn't know it. I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told it, so Zheng Zhuanggong didn't struggle any more and just accepted his fate, just hoping to leave his lineage alone. Get some incense.
"Young Master Tu and Jizu, I have already sent people to arrest them, there should be news soon, and I will deal with them myself at that time."
"As for your life...it doesn't mean anything to me, I can either want it or not."
"Now, it depends on what price you can pay to buy back your own life."
Seeing that Zheng Zhuang recognized his fate, Huang Chang didn't intend to take his life, but gave him a chance to "buy his life".
After all, even if he gets rid of Zheng Zhuanggong's lineage, the Shangdu will be taken over by Dayu or other Shangdu families, and the eight ancient capitals will never let Shangdu fall into the hands of Taoists. In the first place, he can get a lot of "life money", and secondly, he has caught Zheng Zhuanggong's handle. He has a previous record of collusion with Yuanshi Tianma, and he will not be afraid that this guy will be disobedient in the future.
But now he is curious about what Zheng Zhuanggong can offer to buy his own life.
After all, the power of the dragon veins in the capital of Shang is already in jeopardy, and it is impossible to mobilize the power of the dragon veins like in the capital as a price. Then, with the background of the capital of Shang, what else can be obtained?
