(The zombie setting has been updated related to the work. Everyone should go check it out, otherwise there will be a lot of confusion about the plot later!)
In a side hall of the governor's yamen, all the doors and windows were closed at the moment, making the room extremely dark.
The two chief historians of Prince Yong's Mansion were sitting in the room at the moment, with different expressions on their faces.
Zhou Chengping remained calm, but Guan Hetai looked flustered and even couldn't sit still.
"Lao Zhou, are you not anxious at all?" Guan Hetai couldn't help but ask.
"Afraid? Why are you in such a hurry? I can walk and sit up straight, so what's the point of being anxious?" Zhou Chengping said calmly.
Guan Hetai cursed after hearing these words. Could it be that he couldn't sit up straight?
But he also knew Zhou Chengping's temper, so Guan Hetai didn't take it seriously, so he asked: "You said Tian Jingtong called us over but left us here to hang out. What kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd?"
"This Tian Xun has always been hostile to the palace. This time, it might be the instigators from the court who want to throw dirty water on the palace!"
Zhou Chengping has an upright temper and can't get ahead in officialdom, but that doesn't mean he can't see through the problem.
He also understands the overall situation of the DPRK and China, so he can point out the current situation sharply.
"I thought that if His Highness voluntarily gave up his position as Crown Prince, those in the court would let him go..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chengping said helplessly: "But the assassins from Wolong Temple, the soldiers who broke into the palace a few days ago, and the current situation... all show that those people not only have no intention of letting him go, but may also want His Highness."
life!"
Guan Hetai was stunned when he heard these words. He thought he was extremely smart, but he had never seen things so thoroughly.
At this moment, Guan Hetai refreshed his understanding of Zhou Chengping. This Zhou Changshi must not be underestimated.
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a man thought to be wearing official robes stood outside.
Because of the backlight, Zhou Chengping and his wife couldn't see clearly the face of the person coming.
"Do you think that in your eyes, I am limited to clique fighting and have no righteousness for my family and country?" Tian Jingtong walked into the room with an extremely low voice.
Only after he walked in did Zhou Chengping and the others see his face clearly.
"When a sage speaks, listen to his words and observe his actions. You know who Mr. Tian is!" Zhou Chengping said without any sign of weakness.
This made Guan Hetai on the side tremble with fear. The person in front of him was a second-grade official, and their grades were much lower than others.
"I dare not forget the words of the sage, but Zhou Changshi... I am afraid that I will forget the sage's teachings!" Tian Jingtong said with a slight smile. With his status, he would not be angry with Zhou Chengping.
"Master Tian, please don't accuse good people unjustly!"
"Unjustly accusing a good person? After what Prince Yong's Mansion did, do you still need someone to unjustly accuse him?" Tian Jingtong's tone became stern.
His expression was gloomy, and he glanced sharply at Zhou Chengping and said: "The responsibility of the royal family chief is to educate the king's virtues and standardize his behavior... King Yong acted recklessly and harmed the people. Don't you have any sins?"
Hearing this, Guan Hetai couldn't help but say at this moment: "Crueling the people? Who did Mr. Tian listen to? How could His Highness do such a thing that is harmful to nature and justice?"
"In other words, you were also kept in the dark? I wonder what King Yong did after he left the city?" Tian Jingtong sneered.
"Lord Tian, His Highness has already assumed the vassal status and all the battles have been settled. Why are you still holding on to His Highness?" Zhou Chengping stared at Tian Jingtong and said.
These words referred to Tian Jingtong as a villain, which made him lose hope in Zhou Guan and the others and judged that they could not be saved.
"Do you think I am trying to incriminate you? Then you should go to Hejiazhuang outside the city to see if the lives of hundreds of people are enough to prove King Yong's crime!" Tian Jingtong couldn't restrain his anger and shouted.
After all, he was a high official in the border area. At this moment, he exerted all his power and directly suppressed the two people of Zhou and Guan.
Pointing at the two Zhou and Guan, Tian Jingtong said, "You have also read the books of saints and sages. I really don't know what benefits King Yong has given you, so that you two ignore the dignity of scholars and only speak for him!"
But at this moment, Zhou Chengping didn't listen to these words at all. He knew why Tian Jingtong framed King Yong.
Zhou Chengping knew the truth, and at this point, he could only tell the truth.
"Master Tian, the people in Hejiazhuang you mentioned have turned into man-eating monsters. His Highness killed them to eliminate harm for the people!"
Zhou Chengping looked solemn, but when he heard Tian Jingtong's words, he was stunned.
A man-eating monster? You dare to defend such a clumsy statement? This week Chengping considered himself a fool... Tian Jingtong was furious.
However, at this moment, Guan Hetai also spoke up: "Master Tian, there is indeed a misunderstanding here. His Highness killed all man-eating monsters, not good people..."
"That's enough, you two are so heartless!" Tian Jingtong pointed at Zhou Guan and the two of them, and Tian Jingtong was so angry that he couldn't say anything else.
But Guan Hetai knew that he had to explain the matter clearly now, so he quickly said: "Sir, this is really a misunderstanding. I have seen monsters eating people with my own eyes..."
Immediately afterwards, Guan Hetai told Tian Jingtong exactly what happened in Chang'an Town and Wolong Temple.
But after listening to it, Tian Jingtong still couldn't accept it. This sounded like a fantasy.
He has lived for so many years and has never heard of such a disease. How could a person turn into a monster that wants to eat people? Fairies are not in an era of famine.
"You are not talking about the strange power and chaos of the gods. You have made up these heresies about monsters and think you can exonerate King Yong? This is simply fantastic!" Tian Jingtong said coldly.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhou Chengping said: "There is a monster imprisoned in the palace. If you don't believe it... you can come with me and see for yourself!"
Want to see it with your own eyes? Tian Jingtong sneered twice, of course he would not enter the palace easily.
The people in Prince Yong's Mansion are all lunatics from top to bottom. If he enters the Prince's Mansion, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?
A person who plots against others will only believe in his own set of logic, and simple words cannot persuade him to change his mind.
"As the chief historian of the palace, you have failed to assist each other and correct the king's virtues. According to our system of the Jin Dynasty, if the king has a fault, he will question the chief historian... I will report to the court to remove you two from your posts.
!”
Tian Jingtong turned around and walked slowly outside: "You two will stay here temporarily until the court appoints a new chief minister!"
"I'm afraid that Mr. Tian's documents will no longer be delivered to the capital!" At this moment, Guan Hetai became angry.
"What do you mean?" Tian Jingtong said in a cold tone.
"If those monsters break out, transportation will be cut off. How can documents be sent to the capital?"
In fact, it was only at this moment that Guan Hetai noticed that they had not received news from Zhuangtian outside the city for two or three days.
Prince Yong's Mansion has more than twenty farms outside the city. Generally speaking, news comes every day, but in the past three days, no news has come from any farm.
So at this moment, Guan Hetai dared to boldly guess that the zombies had broken out.
At this moment, Liu Chengjun, who was driven away from the palace by Zhao Yanxun, quickly came to Tian Jingtong's ear.
Glancing at Zhou and Guan in the room, Liu Chengjun lowered his voice and said, "Sir, King Yong is back. He asked me to send you a message, asking you to go to the palace to explain the situation!"
King Yong came back? Tian Jingtong immediately asked: "Who is from Zhengyang?"
Liu Chengjun was stunned for a moment, then said: "King Yong came back by himself, I didn't see Master He in my humble position!"
If He Zhengyang returns to the city, he will definitely report the situation to himself, which means that this guy hasn't come back yet.
After laughing twice, Tian Jingtong said: "He wants me to explain the situation... I also want to ask him for an explanation!"
