Chapter 185

At that time, the Turks took advantage of the great Zhou Dynasty to fight inside, and their national strength was empty. They led their troops to invade the northwest. From tangnuwulianghai to ulyasutai, they drove into the Northwest for a long time, which was unstoppable. For a while, the northwest was defeated like a mountain, and their morale was low. At that time, a prince was in urgent need to take the emperor's son out to fight, so as to inspire the army and frighten the foreign enemies.

But at that time, when the imperial court was in the hot period of seizing the imperial power, it could be said that the Emperor didn't want to remonstrate and fight. No prince was willing to go on the expedition. The first emperor was very angry. He vomited blood in that day's day. On that night, the seven princes, who were not yet seventeen years old and were in charge of the government, went to the palace to be holy and offered to volunteer.

The heart of the first emperor was very happy. Zhong Zhiling, the general of the western town, immediately set out for the northwest. After Zhong Zhiling's departure, the first emperor's dragon body went from bad to worse. He was bedridden within three months. Under the pressure of the Xu clan and the rapid reports from the northwest, the first emperor finally set up Zhong Zhiling's brother and Zhong Zhiheng as Prince before his death.

In the third year of Zhong Zhiheng's accession to the throne, the northwest war finally died out. At the age of 20, Zhong Zhiheng asked to stay in the northwest. He was stationed in the northwest border area by the great Zhou Dynasty for his whole life. Zhong Zhiheng promised to confer the age of Zhong Zhiheng as the prince of Pingxi.

In a blink of an eye, King Pingxi has been stationed in the Northwest for 30 years. Counting the seven princes who were angry with flowers, he is 48 years old.

"To sum up, the king of Pingxi hasn't returned to Beijing in 32 years." Dai Jingfeng said with emotion.

"Yes, for thirty-two years." Zhong Zhiheng said softly, rubbing the tea bowl in his hand. He looked sideways at the woman's portrait on the wall, then turned his head back and left the tea cup on the table.

Dai Jingfeng feels that Zhong Zhiheng is in a bad mood. In fact, whenever he mentions Pingxiwang, Zhong Zhiheng is not in a good mood. Dai Jingfeng carefully observes Zhong Zhiheng's look, does not dare to make a sound, but drinks tea with his head down.

"You know what happened in the court, don't you?" It took a long time for Zhong Zhiheng to open again, "let's talk about it."

"Long live refers to the increasing voice of reserve establishment recently?" Dai Jingfeng was so busy that he put down his tea bowl and said to Zhong Zhiheng, "tell me, my subordinates have noticed that the second prince is the most vocal. Recently, the third prince has not been mentioned by many people. My subordinates think it's very strange."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Zhiheng looked at Dai Jingfeng, sipped his tea, and said softly, "Cui You'an is now the Minister of the Ministry of officials. He is in charge of the promotion and promotion of the officials. Someone is in a hurry to meet the lady and the second prince."

"Long live is very right, but his subordinates think it's strange. In the end, the position of minister of Cui You'an's official department is not very hot, so how can the official department follow his surname Cui?" Dai Jingfeng said, "it's Zhao Changrong, the right minister, who has been a minister of the Ministry of officials for more than 20 years. Now, although people are no longer the Ministry of officials, they may have a far-reaching impact on the Ministry of officials."

"Do you mean that I have chosen a puppet to be Minister of the Ministry of officials?" Zhong Zhiheng asked with a smile.

"I dare not!" Dai Jingfeng was so busy that he said, "long live, long live. Besides, Cui You'an is a powerful master."

"Yes, I do have arrangements," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, tapping the tip of his finger gently at the little red sandalwood table and whispering, "the official department can't always be surnamed Zhao, and naturally it shouldn't be surnamed Cui."

But in a word, Dai Jingfeng understood that Zhong Zhiheng was not satisfied with the influence of his family on the government, so the Xu clan, which was the first one to bear the brunt, has gradually faded out of the court in recent decades, but in the end, the Xu clan now holds the military and political power, Zhong Zhiheng is still not at ease. Zhong Mingwei, who naturally has the blood of Xu clan, has become Zhong Zhiheng's eyes Now Zhong Mingwei has been deposed as a commoner. The decline of Xu clan can be imagined, but it is not enough for fear. So now Zhong Zhiheng aims at Zhao clan or Cui clan.

Zhao family has been running the official department for more than 20 years. Now Cui family is going to squeeze in and take a share. Where can Zhao family be allowed? Therefore, in the harem, Zhao Guifei and Shufei fought each other to death. In the previous dynasty, Zhao Changrong and Cui Youan were also upset.

"But my subordinates also heard that the Minister of rites, Anzi, had talked about the establishment of the reserve privately. According to his ancestral system, he should establish his own wife as the reserve, and if there is no legitimate son, he should establish a leader," Dai Jingfeng said with a smile. "It's really magnanimous. If he doesn't add bricks and tiles to his son-in-law, he will pave the way for the second prince. It can be seen that he is a gentleman."
