Zheng Yi sat in the carriage, wiped the sweat with a scarf, and the bruises on his forehead were very obvious. He walked around in front of the emperor, and finally came out safely, left the palace and returned to the residence where he was staying. Tianlai Novel

If the emperor was a little dissatisfied just now, Zheng Yi would not have passed the test so easily, because no one would protect him in Yecheng.

The emperor had a hundred reasons to kill him, but there was only one reason to let him go. Now it was a bet right, so I waited for the order to be issued and then went to Guanzhong.

To show sincerity, one must sweep the tombs of the late emperors for more than half a year, especially the tombs of King Yuwen Zhao of Zhao. They must stay for a long time before they can show their sincerity and determination to repent.

To achieve this, we have done our best. As for what will happen in the future, we can only leave it to fate. Zheng Yi has a "critical record" again, and he will definitely have no hope of career, and he only wants not to implicate his son.

Zheng Yi has four sons, and his life will be very long in the future, so he only hopes that his son will have a future now.

Where is the future? With Yuwen Wen, the only King of Xiyang can help him now.

This time, he came to Yecheng day and night to perform for the shadow puppet troupe to enter the palace to perform. Although he was just to train the tone, he also got the opportunity to meet the emperor. This idea was created by Yuwen Wen, which was called putting it to death and then living.

The deaths of King Yu and many royal families were indirectly related to Zheng Yi, so even if the emperor did not say it on the surface, he was extremely angry in his heart. Instead of evading, it would be better to vent his anger to the other party.

Yuwen Wen's opinion is that since Zheng Yi is all old and his son is still young, if he really can't do it, he will use his life to protect his four sons, so as not to be in love with the emperor one day, and exil his whole family to a remote place in anger. It will be bad if the whole family dies.

Zheng Yi thought about it for a while and thought it was worth taking a risk. Now it is a preliminary pass, so he should wipe it off with cold sweat to avoid getting cold after blowing the wind and catching a cold later.

At the end of summer, the weather was still hot and the carriage was a little stuffy. Zheng Yi lifted the curtains to ventilate, looked at the street scene outside the window, and was thinking about how to spend the days in Yecheng.

There is definitely no way to go to the wine shop and the music shop, so I can only stay in the residence. No one will come to visit him in Yecheng. Even the members of the Zheng clan of Xingyang dare not communicate with him in Yecheng, for fear of causing trouble.

People hate dogs, probably this is the case. It is better to be in Huangzhou.

When thinking of Huangzhou, I think of King Yuwen of Xiyang. Zheng Yi felt that this person was unique. His words and deeds were often out of line. He was unrestrained, but he knew the right attitude.

Zheng Yi was knowledgeable and proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. When he was young, he often hangs with Zhou Taizu and his sons. Later, Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne and appointed him as the crown prince Gong Yin and as the assistant to the crown prince Yuwen Yun.

Yuwen Yun is a playful person, so he and Yi and Liu Fang tried to make each other happy. However, Emperor Wu watched it very tightly. Until Yuwen Yun ascended the throne without anyone to restrain him, the monarch and ministers threw their arms and played with it. Zheng Yi claimed that he had seen countless big scenes, but the result was not as good as the shadow puppets today.

How did Yuwen Wen come up with this kind of plot and performance form in "A Chinese Ghost Story"? Zheng Yi didn't know, he just felt that if Yuwen Wen had pleased Emperor Tianyuan, he and Liu Fang would have been overshadowed.

When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, Yuwen Wen is much more powerful than him. If the various ideas he came up with would have been favored by Emperor Tianyuan in the past, the most favored minister around the emperor would be Yuwen Wen.

No, it is impossible. Yuwen Yun defended the royal family as he was guarding against thieves, so even if Yuwen Wen was flattering, he would not be able to be reused. Zheng Yi was sure of this, so he felt that Yuwen Wen's performance was mediocre before, and probably figured out the key.

There was no way. Since the Jin king Yuwen Hu had abused power and successively deposed the emperor, the emperor was very suspicious of the royal family, so he put the emperor's uncles out of the country and rushed to another place to guard against another Yuwen Hu in the royal family.

Therefore, after Yuwen Yun was assassinated, he and Liu Fang could easily exclude the royal family and hand over the power to the relative Yang Jian.

Don’t say what would happen if King Yu and Wen Xian of Qi were not dead? As long as King Yu and Wen Zhao were in the capital at that time, how could they have any chance? As a result, the great country changed hands in an instant, and the royal family was slaughtered like a chicken and a sheep.

It was also thanks to Yuchi Jiong's rebellion against Yang and protecting half of the country, which led to the current situation.

With this lesson, Zheng Yi felt that the emperor should rely on the royal family in the future, so the prospects of King Qi and son Qi and son were promising, but the premise was that they could overcome the Yuchi hurdle.

If the conflict between the two sides is not solved properly, it will be a bloody storm. Then you have to choose a side station again. Once you choose the wrong one, there will be no room for maneuver. Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about this.

If the two sides really break up and start a conflict, of course he hopes that Yuwen Wen will win, but the situation on the royal family is indeed not optimistic, so he decided to guard the tomb of the late emperor in Chang'an and wait for a few years before talking about it.

Or another bet?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi's heart thumped. If he wanted to bet, he would naturally have to bet big. The bet was all over Yuwen Wen's side. Once he succeeded, the profit would be predictable.

Yuwen Wen is extremely profitable and can make a fortune in Huangzhou. He is a shadow puppetry theater. When he opened a big reward, he earned dozens of yuan a day. This is the number before he left Xiyang and rushed to Yecheng. It should be open normally now, so I think there will be more investments.

Zheng Yi knew that for Yuwen Wen, shadow puppetry was just a drop in the bucket. His income from "dividends" was much more cost-effective than accepting bribes. If the royal family really won in the future and Yuwen Wen had more opportunities to make money, he could also make a fortune.

This is much more money than taking bribes!

However, if you want to bet, you have to have capital. Does he have enough capital?

Of course, Zheng Yi was born in the Zheng family of Yingyang. Although he is now a poor reputation, he can still persuade some people if he really wants to do his best. It is nothing more than the determination and the size of his interests.

However, if this big bet is lost, his whole family might be dead.

Bet or not? This is a problem and is also a problem facing many ministers in the court today.

When Yang Jian used the Sui Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, many people became ministers of the Sui State after the Sui State. As a result, the Zhou army invaded Guanzhong last year, and the situation changed drastically. Many of these people followed the trend and became ministers of the Zhou State, in an embarrassing situation.

Because of the loss of the big festival, and the prime minister and his group are full of talents, they don’t have the chance to be valued. The royal family is actively trying to win over, but many people have concerns. After all, the gap in strength between the royal family and the prime minister is somewhat large.

If there is a day when there is a turn of confrontation, no one wants to stand on the side of the loser, so many people are struggling or simply avoid it: no matter who is the emperor, you can just take a small life anyway.

If you really can't do it, you'll be idle at home. Saving your life is more important than anything else. After all, in less than ten years, there have been so many changes that no one can stop being upset.

In the second year of the elephant, Yang Jian assisted in the administration. A group of those who opposed him were killed, and another group of those who supported him was killed by Yuchi Jiong. Later, after six or seven years of war, the defeat and the family were destroyed. Later, the Zhou State destroyed the Sui State, and another group of people lost their lives.

After much trouble, it was really painful. Zheng Yi was a little puzzled about the future situation, so the thought that just emerged gradually became less determined.

Just when he was worried, he noticed that the carriage had slowed down significantly. He was about to ask the coachman what was wrong, but through the car window, he saw crowds of people on the street, as if many people were gathering outside a shop to watch something.
