When he was led by Cen Rubai to see Su Ziji, he was so sad that he was so sad that he temporarily surrendered to Su Ziji for his brothers and for his own life and not being chased by others. That period actually had some impact on Zeng Nianzhen. After all, Su Ziji, the temporary lord, was very courteous.

But what happened back then made Zeng Nianzhen unable to let go of his old master and finally chose to say goodbye.

Good fortune is so good that I had known that Su Ziji was the young master, Zeng Nianzhen would not have left even if he died that day.

Thinking of the scene of parting that day, he regretted and ashamed. He looked at the young man in front of him, mixed with surprise and joy. As soon as he met, he immediately bowed to the ground, his eyes were filled with tears, and he choked out: "Zeng Nianzhen, deputy of the Prince's Mansion Team, pay homage to the young master!"

"Mr. Zeng, please get up!" Su Ziji stood up and helped him up in person.

Zeng Nianzhen looked at the young man in front of him and once again regretted it. When we were together before, I felt that Lord Su was a little like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than once, but I didn’t go into the deeper, which led to me being late and unable to escort His Royal Highness to the capital. If Cen Rubai had not sent a letter to him, wouldn’t he have mistaken and missed this matter directly?

"I am guilty and I am unable to recognize you on the same day..." He thought so and said so.

Su Ziji hurriedly comforted: "Even I have only gradually learned about this in the past two years. If you can't recognize it, it's human nature. Why blame yourself? If anyone who doesn't knows it, don't blame me. If Mr. Zeng feels that he can't get over it, he might as well stay by my side and do things for me. What about?"

"I can't ask for it!" Zeng Nianzhen responded immediately.

Su Ziji asked him to sit aside for a while before asking about the current situation of the crown prince's former ministers.

In fact, I also asked Cen Rubo about this matter, but Cen Rubo explained to Su Ziji that when the prince had an accident, most of the old ministers in the East Palace were convicted, but they were not convicted, and they were all small officials and family soldiers, and most of them were wandering around. In the past ten years, although Cen Rubo had some contact with several of these people, the person who contacted them the most was Zeng Nianzhen.

When Zeng Nianzhen, who had just secretly wiped his eyes, heard Su Ziji ask about the current situation, his eyes turned red again.

"Master, the old ministers of the East Palace were not invested in the prison back then. They were all small officials and family soldiers. Most of them turned to find other ways for their lives."

"But some people are grateful for the kindness of the prince. Although they are not guilty, they are unwilling to enter the officialdom again. They would rather eat simple food and live a very poor life. Some are deceased, some are still in poverty, and even if I am in peace, I can barely support my life."

"There are three more people who were not found guilty at that time, but when they returned to their hometown, they were deliberately charged by local officials and sent to prison. They only came out a few years ago. I was afraid that I would not be able to take care of them in my hometown, so I took them back to the capital for convenience."

Zeng Nianzhen said one by one, and Su Ziji was moved and asked, "Is there a list?"

"Master, before I came, I had already written the list carefully. Those who have been in contact with me over the years are on it." Zeng Nianzhen said, then took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it respectfully. Obviously, he had expected that Su Ziji might have such an inquiry.

Su Ziji hurriedly answered it and opened it to watch it. He found that there were 23 households on it, all in the capital and near the capital. Most of them were inconspicuous people, and they should be from family soldiers. Only one of the 23 people was a ninth rank and an official at that time.

"This Eastern Palace team is Sun Ping, I'll go and invite him in person." After reading it, Su Ziji sighed deeply.

Although I had known that the tree had fallen and the money was scattered, and most of the officials were targeted, either dead or demoted, and that I could survive until now, the small number of people still made Su Ziji feel both heavy and full of emotion.

These are all loyal ministers and have all died.

Originally, Su Ziji decided to make a plan and knew that there were not many people in the Eastern Palace, so he wanted to display it publicly to calm the emperor's taboos.

Don't worry now.

"Mr. Lu, Jianqu, you will work together. Cen Rubai and Zeng Nianzhen went out of the house."

There is a ox cart in the mansion. Zeng Nianzhen became a coachman. When he went out, he saw snowflakes falling in the gloomy sky. It was snowing again, and it was white.

It is not easy to live in the capital. Sun Ping's home is outside the city, not far from the capital, and a small village near the suburbs.

After walking for half an hour, he saw a bridge. Although it was not a single-plank bridge, the ox cart could not drive over. Su Ziji got out of the car and walked, pointed to a temple and asked Cen Rubai: "Whose incense is this temple?"

"It's not a main temple, it's basically a Tudigong Temple!" Cen Rubai said, stepping on the road, "Wei Shizu customized the city god temple."

"Taoism and the people say that this is the spirit of someone."

"There is a special memorial for this matter. The Ministry of Rites wrote a letter saying that if a country is built, a high city and a deep god must be established to protect the people. Therefore, there are city god temples in the prefectures and counties in the world. Those in Beijing are called the city god."

"The god of the city god is not a human or a ghost. How can there be a so-called birth date? To celebrate the birthday, this is to move flowers and trees, and it is also appropriate to be dismissed in total."

"As for the Tudigong Temple, it is not included in the formal system, and it is even more like a fish-like person."

"The court system has all the profound meaning!" Su Ziji had been admitted to the Imperial Academy and naturally knew that the court sacrifices and great sacrifices were heaven, earth, ancestral temples, and country, and were not humans."

The middle sacrifice is the sun, moon, farming, stars, wind, clouds, thunderstorms, mountains and rivers, etc. The gods are small sacrifices.

It can be said that in the middle sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific

Is this a materialistic sacrifice?

Su Ziji didn't think about it carefully and asked Zeng Nianzhen a smile: "How far is it from here?"

Zeng Nianzhen smiled and pointed with her hand: "The village is north of Xiaolin, and the entrance of the village is, and it is not far away."

The three of them walked in the river bank with snow, and felt the snowflakes were even more blurred. The sky and the earth were confused. Su Ziji stood in the snow, looking at the dark and gloomy forest, looking at the person with a determined and vicissitudes of life. After a long time, he said again: "Mr. Zeng, I didn't give you a title of lieutenant. Do you have any ideas?"

Zeng Nianzhen hurriedly said, "The young master only knows me, this is just cautious, and I am the team deputy, Sun Ping and Sun are the team chief, so he should be the lieutenant of the palace."

"It's not the reason." Su Ziji shook his head, his steps were very small, and his voice was very gentle: "I don't give you the title of the lieutenant because I have important things to explain to you, and only you can do this task."

"Mr. Zeng, do you have some reputation in the world?"

Zeng Nian was really touched by Su Ziji's words just now. When he heard this, he felt embarrassed to say, "I just have a little bit of a name."

"As a sword, Chunhan, even I have heard of it. Mr. Zeng, you are too modest." Su Ziji laughed when he heard it.

After a long time, he whispered: "The errand I gave you is to raise five hundred soldiers outside, and the location is on an overseas island. I wonder if you are willing to take on this task?"

Raising 500 soldiers on overseas islands?

When Zeng Nianzhen heard about this, he seemed to have some understanding. This was the lesson learned by the prince. Speaking of which, the Eastern Palace is actually quite powerful, with one thousand soldiers.

But at that time, the imperial edict was issued, and all the soldiers of a thousand armored soldiers obeyed the orders and imprisoned the prince.

Even some people who are loyal to the prince will be useless and can only lean over and obey.
