Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Eight

After Zheng Sleeve cleared his throat, he told the news that Zhao Linfu had instructed Cao Hu'er, Kirch and Xu Shou to conspire to be in the north of Yunzhou, pretending to be a Qihu ranger, and putting Li Zhaoyang to death.

With Zheng Sleeve's words, the old emperor went from being hesitant at the beginning to angry and desperate at the end. He never thought that the courtiers who he thought had been completely in his hands would actually have vicious and cruel thoughts here.

Not only was he not satisfied with the authority he had granted, but he even thought about replacing it, which made the old emperor really tremble and didn't know what kind of reaction to make.

Zhao Linfu has always been ambitious, and the old emperor knows it very well, so he is willing to use his power to tempt this courtier who does not have too many bottom lines and discipline, and does not even care about his reputation at all. Through his hands, he did a lot of things that he couldn't do in the past, such as clearing out those opponents in the court, or people with ulterior motives, or courtiers who always like to block the style of his son of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely for this reason that the old emperor likes it very much and is very good at using Zhao Linfu, so as long as it is not too excessive, the old emperor will turn a blind eye to some of his actions of eliminating dissent.

Of course, in order to balance Zhao Linfu and prevent his power from being excessive, in the Wenchen, courtiers like Zhang Jiuling were arranged who had both ability and practical spirit, or some courtiers who were old and did not have much ability, but were loyal to themselves.

In addition, the rights given to Zhao Linfu are only allowed to move around in the civilian circle, so the spokesperson of the military in the court of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Zhao Zhongxian, the secretary of the military department, or Duan Guixiong, the actual head of the military, is at odds with Zhao Linfu.

As for Zhao Linfu's support from the border towns, the old emperor really didn't care much about this, the border towns were all located in barbaric places, far away from the imperial capital, besides, what about a town of soldiers and horses, even ten towns? Can it still be worth the hundreds of thousands of elites in the imperial capital?

It is based on such and such a matter of course, so the Son of Heaven has always been not very concerned about Zhao Linfu's collusion with the border towns, the important thing is that Cao Hu'er who he colluded with is just a general in the border towns, and the armies of the border towns of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the ten towns?

However, what the old emperor could never have imagined was that Zhao Linfu's ambition had far exceeded his imagination, and even the courtiers around him, even the old man who had followed him for decades like Gao Daban, actually fell to Zhao Linfu's side and became a lackey who worked hard for him.

Unexpectedly, all this was from the plan of his right-hand man, and now he actually fell into this field, which finally made the old emperor's heart rise with a deep sense of remorse and fear.

In other words, now he has fallen into the hands of Zheng Sleeve, who is hostile to himself and wants to avenge his whole family.

"What about my queen? And my loyal courtiers? The old emperor took a deep breath and raised his head again, no matter what, but at least he didn't forget that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Queen? And your courtiers? Hahaha It seems that you have been in a coma for too long, but it doesn't matter, you want to see your queen, right, and your prince, that is a dozen princes, you, hurry up and get them, let our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty take a look at his flower-like queen and the current appearance of the prince" Zheng Sleeve couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed, then turned his head and shouted at the soldiers guarding the door.

The soldiers quickly left the door, and when they heard this, the old emperor's face couldn't help but turn white. "You, what did you do to my queen and the emperor?!"

"I didn't do anything, don't worry, instead of doing anything to your queen and emperor, I did a lot of good things for them, at least, it's me, Zheng Sleeve, so that they don't go to the corpse wilderness"

Hearing this, the old emperor's eyes were dark, his body was crooked, and he almost fell off, but finally took a deep breath, stared at Zheng Sleeve with tightly narrowed eyes, and laughed, his smile looked hideous and gloomy. "Hugh is talking nonsense, if you dare to touch my queen, my son, even if I fight for my life, I will definitely punish your nine clans."

"Your Majesty, what you say, you should keep it and say to your loyal courtier Zhao Linfu to go, but, not in this world, by the way, please, this is your queen, and your emperor" After Zheng Sleeve laughed, he saw that the man had a burden, so he stood up beside him, motioned for the man to put down the flat burden, and then opened the two jars with his own hands.

The old emperor poked his head out with a shudder, and the two jars were full of white bones, and in one jar there was a burnt queen's robe that was only fragmented, and in the other jar next to it, in addition to the white bones, there was also a children's dress that had been stained with black blood.

Seeing these things, the old emperor couldn't hold it up after all, rolled his eyes, and fainted, and after Zheng Sleeve laughed happily a few times, he tilted his head, and soon the soldiers pressed and pinched people, and the old emperor slowly woke up, looked at the white bones, and the familiar clothes on the white bones, and then connected with what he heard and saw now.

Where does the old emperor still not understand, why should the person in front of him lie to himself? Looking at those blackened bones, the old emperor wanted to die at the moment, why would he be so careless and careless, and he would actually fall into such a field. "Zhao Linfu child, dare to harm my emperor, harm my queen's life, I want to destroy your nine clans!"

The old emperor's angry roar was only exchanged for a few sneers from Zheng Sleeve. "If you want his nine clans, maybe in the future, Zhao Linfu's nine clans will be punished, but now, you can't do it, and besides, you will stay with him soon."

After saying this, someone brought another jar, and inside the jar there was only a pile of broken bones, and in addition, there was a slightly broken notice.

"Did you see it, this is your good courtier, now, he is in front of you, right, I forgot to tell me, this is Zhao Linfu's body that Zheng stole from the cemetery on the outskirts of Liangdu with great effort."

"It's just that after being whipped by Zheng sleeve for three days, it was already too ugly, Zheng had to throw it on the mountains outside the palace, and two days later, his carrion was gnawed clean by those infested beasts, and he even lost a lot of bones, but unfortunately, his head is still hanging on the wall of the imperial capital after being nitrated."

"He, he's dead? Who is it, I, I must reward him well. The old emperor choked violently, and the light in his eyes was fierce.

"I have to be loyal, Duan Guixiong, that old immortal did a good thing for you, by the way, there is one more thing, your granddaughter is not dead and is now alive in Yunzhou, it's a pity, you, even if you can hear this, it's a pity, you can't see it anymore." Zheng Sleeve narrowed his eyes.

The old emperor took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Sleeve, trying to make his voice appear kinder. "Zheng Sleeve, in the past, I was deceived by Zhao Linfu's dog thief, so that your family was ruined, if you could"

"Shut up! You said that you dare to persuade one more word, and Zheng will cut off your tongue now. Zheng Sleeve's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

Looking at Zheng Sleeve's crazy and serious expression, the old emperor felt a chill in his heart and had to close his mouth tightly.

"Okay, good, it seems that your old dog is also very interesting, so it's not funny, but it's okay. If you are like the slaughtered Zhao Linfu who slaughtered you with a knife, it will be too boring, you only have one person, and my Zheng family has a hundred and nearly a hundred mouths, how can I relieve my hatred with one knife? Zheng Sleeve stroked the long beard under his chin and said with a smile.

"What do you want to do, don't forget, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you can let me go, I can never look into the past, and I can also help your father Zhaoxue."

"You helped my father avenge his grievances? Haha, joke! My father died under the joint efforts of you and Zhao Linfu, Zhao Xue? Did you get it? Even if it is a grievance, can my father, my mother, and nearly 100 members of my Zheng family survive? If you can bring them back to life, then I, Zheng Sleeve, am willing to commit suicide to apologize. But can you? ”

"Mr. Zheng Zheng, as the saying goes, people can't be resurrected after death, and I can't do it, but don't worry, I will not let you down, at least after their deaths."

"Shut up, what do you want to mourn after death, who will you show that thing to?" Zheng Sleeve roared angrily.
