In the hall of King Yan's Mansion, Zhang Yan was pacing there alone, his brows were constricted, his face was pale, and he looked preoccupied.

The words with Zhuge Liang just now made Zhang Yanton feel worried, he has issued a strict order, prohibiting anyone from selling the property in Pengcheng without permission, at this juncture, the housekeeper of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mizhu is actually buying the property in Pengcheng on a large scale, if he does not get Mi Zhu's instructions, how can this housekeeper have such courage?

Mi Zhu is the elder brother of Princess Yan Mi Zhen, the richest man in Xuzhou, with a wealth that rivals the country, although it is not a famous family, but it is also a rich and noble family, and it also has a great influence in Xuzhou.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan getting the support of Mi Zhu and using the wealth of the Mi family as a backing, he would not have become the current King of Yan.

Marrying Mi Zhen is half out of his own preferences, and the other half is out of his personal inner plan, which is to borrow Mi Zhen to get close to Mi Zhu, so as to obtain Mi Clan's support in wealth.

Mi Zhu is also very business-minded, and he took a fancy to Zhang Yan to get ahead, so he married his favorite sister Mi Zhen to Zhang Yan, in addition, Mi Zhu himself was also making a big gamble, he bet on Zhang Yan's future, whether Mi will become a famous family in the world, all the hopes are tied to Zhang Yan alone.

Even for the future of the Mi family, Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang also took a life.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu had a unique vision and bet on the right one, and Zhang Yan did not live up to his hopes, and in just a few years, he became the regent who shocked the world. There is even the possibility of becoming an emperor.

Now Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen is the first wife that Zhang Yanming is marrying. has become the princess of Yan. If Zhang Yan becomes the emperor again, then Mi Zhen will inevitably become the queen of the world, then Mi Zhu is the uncle of the dynasty, and the future of the Mi family will also change from now on, and he will no longer have to be bound by the identity of a businessman, so as to become a famous family.

Beneath the seemingly calm lake in Pengcheng, there is actually an undercurrent. The ministers of the DPRK and China, led by Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others, have almost all gathered together, and have been secretly plotting a conspiracy to give the Zen position of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to Zhang Yan and change the dynasty. And there are countless officials involved, even Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, who has always been trusted by Zhang Yan, is also involved, and there are also Wei General Xu Chu, Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhuge Jin and others.

At first, it was just some ministers secretly planning this matter, but with the addition of Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, the news transmitted by Jinyiwei had to pass through Xu Sheng. As long as the information related to this matter is affected, it will be filtered out by Xu Sheng. In this way, Zhang Yan, who is in a high place, is like a deaf and blind person, and has been kept in the dark.

Later, the number of people involved in it became more and more extensive, Zhuge Liang, the younger brother of Zhuge Jin of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was the first person to discover the clues, and then after a period of understanding, he did not find anything again, but in a drink of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin told the secret because he was drunk, which made Zhuge Liang feel that this matter was extremely terrible.

After that, Zhuge Liang's heart has been uneasy, and he himself did not make a noise, but quietly investigated the matter, and he found that the interests of countless people were involved behind this matter, and more and more people were involved, even Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mizhu was also involved.

But Zhang Yan himself has been kept in the dark, knowing nothing and seeing nothing.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to stab this conspiracy several times, but he wanted to stop talking, if he said it, then he was tantamount to doing against the entire Han bureaucracy, these bureaucrats can be so united, God does not know, ghosts unconsciously plan to change the dynasty, it can be seen that how many people's interests are in this matter.

If they do not change the dynasty, even if they study their lives, they are just a generation of famous ministers, and they may not be able to leave a strong ink in history. But if there is a change of dynasty, it will be different, they are the founding heroes, and the rewards they receive will become rich, and even future generations will be hereditary and enjoy their titles.

It's a huge chain of interests, and everyone involved in it is well aware of the huge benefits that this event will bring to them if it succeeds.

The officialdom of the Han Dynasty is also united like never before, and all the people involved in it do not want good things to be ruined, and if necessary, they will even use very extreme means, and it is not impossible to kill people and destroy their mouths.

At the same time, even Zhuge Liang himself has some temptations in this regard, but his heart is very contradictory, on the one hand, it is because of the trust of Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, on the other hand, it is his own interests, even his own brother is involved, once the matter is revealed, he will also be implicated.

In the past half a month, Zhuge Liang's heart has been very contradictory, and today in Yanwangfu, under Zhang Yan's questioning, he also felt an unprecedented pressure, and even felt that Zhang Yan himself had noticed it. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang made such a decision, not to offend those civil and military officials, nor to disappoint Zhang Yan, so he simply told Mi Zhu's housekeeper about the secret acquisition of Pengcheng's property, and prepared to let Zhang Yan start with Mi Zhu and slowly discover the conspiracy himself.

In the Yanwang Mansion, Zhang Yan waited for nearly half an hour, and the Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mi Zhu came from outside, and before Mi Zhu spoke, Zhang Yan asked impatiently: "The short distance from the Thorn History Mansion to the Yan Wang's Mansion has been walking for almost half an hour. ”

Zhang Yan has been using Pengcheng as a temporary capital for a long time, Pengcheng is located in Xuzhou, so Xuzhou has become a very important position, Xuzhou Thorn History, equivalent to the Sili Lieutenant of the year, in charge of the military and political power near Gyeonggi. However, after Zhang Yan changed the imperial court system to a three-province and six-ministry system, the position of Sili Lieutenant was no longer established, so Xuzhou Assassin Shi naturally became Sili Lieutenant.

Originally, the mansion of Xuzhou Thorn Shi was in Tancheng, which was needed by Zhang Yan for political purposes. It is also to facilitate the control of things near Pengcheng. Only last year, the Xuzhou Thorn History was moved to Pengcheng. And. He was also thinking that once the capital was moved from Pengcheng to Luoyang, Pengcheng, the foundation he had worked so hard to manage, could not decline, but at least become the state city of Xuzhou, so that the Qiē he had established would not be wasted.

Mi Zhu heard what Zhang Yan said, and then looked at Zhang Yan's facial expression. knew that Zhang Yan's mood was not very good today. If it is normal, after Zhang Yan saw Mi Zhu, he always called him brother in the absence of outsiders to show his closeness. But today, Zhang Yan is unusual, calling him the history of Mi Thorn.

He walked straight into the hall, first saluted Zhang Yan, and then said very apologetically: "It is really a sin to make His Highness wait for a long time, and the lower official is willing to be punished." ”

Zhang Yan saw Mi Zhu's sincere attitude. Then he waved his hand and said, "It's better for you to come than not to come." Sit down and let's talk! ”

"Your Highness."

After Mi Zhu sat down, he already had some apprehension in his heart, he didn't know why Zhang Yan summoned him, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked: "I don't know why His Highness called me here?" ”

Zhang Yan didn't speak immediately, but casually picked up a teacup in his hand, tasted a sip of fragrant tea first, and then said to Mi Zhu: "This is a cloud tea from the south. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone walked in front of Mi Zhu with a bowl of tea, Mi Zhu picked up the bowl of tea, stood up, and then bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhang Yan has been staring at Mi Zhu tightly, and after seeing Mi Zhu taste a sip of cloud tea, he said softly: "This tea is called Yunwu, which is harvested from the high mountains in the south, where the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, and the clouds and mountains and clouds make people unable to see the true appearance, so this tea is also named after it." Although the name of this tea is Yunwu, but when you drink it in your mouth, the taste is strong and fresh, and it is really the best tea. ”

"It's really a good tea." Mi Zhu said.

"If you like the history of thorns, when you leave for a while, this king will order someone to give you some."

"Your Highness's reward, Mi Zhu is grateful."

Suddenly, Zhang Yan changed his words and said: "Mi Thorn History, although the name of this tea is Yunwu, it is also called according to the local weather habits, but we are people, especially officials, but we must not be cloudy and misty, so that people can't see clearly, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you may lose your head!" ”

Mi Zhu is a very smart person, and he also knows that Zhang Yan will not drink tea for no reason, and the atmosphere in the hall today is not quite right, Zhang Yan must be looking for him for something.

So, Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, between you and me, there is no need to beat around the bush like this, right?" ”

"In that case, then the king will get straight to the point. This king asks you, recently, this king has been trying to move the capital, you should know, right? ”

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and everyone knows it."

"The king strictly ordered officials and rich gentry to sell property privately, and all those who violated the order were beheaded for public display, and the buyers were also guilty of the same crime, do you know?"

"Your Highness's royal order is like a mountain, how could I not know?"

"If you know, why do you knowingly commit it, are you guilty?" Zhang Yan suddenly became angry, pointed at Mi Zhu and shouted loudly.

Mi Zhu was also stunned for a while, and asked innocently: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is Mi Zhu's crime?" ”

"This king sees that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and you don't know what you did yourself? You secretly sent the housekeepers of the palace to buy the property in Pengcheng everywhere, do you think that this king does not know? Zhang Yan said angrily.

After Mi Zhu heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he said with a surprised face: "There is such a thing? ”

Zhang Yan saw that Mi Zhu was also confused, and he didn't seem to know about it, so he asked rhetorically: "You dare to say that you don't know about this?" ”

"I really don't know about it." Mi Zhu replied seriously, not as if he was lying.

"It's not you, then who else can it be, someone saw the housekeeper in your mansion appear in the mansion of Chen Qun, the head of the household department, and bargained with Chen Qun's housekeeper to buy Chen Qun's mansion."

Mi Zhu also frowned, he knew that Zhang Yan would not lie, so he hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, please give me an hour's time, I will go back and find out about this matter, and after an hour, I will explain it to His Highness." ”

Zhang Yan saw that Mi Zhu really didn't know the situation, so he nodded and said, "An hour later, this king is still waiting for you here, I hope that at that time, this king can know the cause and effect of this matter." (To be continued......)
