Go to ancient times and engage in construction

When the Taifu entered the palace late at night to ask to see Zheng Yuming, Zheng Yuming was talking to Huang Zhong in the hall.

"My lord, I will take my leave first!" The operations of the intelligence department had to be carried out in secret, and it was inconvenient for Huang Zhong to meet the Grand Tutor face to face.

"Well, don't startle the target people in the city, let's see what they do next." Zheng Yuming frowned slightly, the capital had just calmed down, but now that the calm was brewing, disturbances were quietly brewing.

"I obey!" Huang Zhong saluted and exited the main hall, walked around to the backyard of the palace and left through the small gate.

"Invite the Grand Tutor to come in!" After Huang Zhong left, Zheng Yuming ordered the guards, stood up, put on a silver cloak, and stood at the gate of the palace to welcome the Grand Tutor.

The palace where Zheng Yuming lived was Wei Ji's sleeping palace when she was alive. Both Gongzi Guang and Gongzi Ming were born here, and Gongzi Ming and Wei Ji died of poisoning here.

Wei Ji's bedroom is a very delicate palace, because Gongzi Ming and Wei Ji were poisoned and died here, King Wu was hurt by the scene, and it didn't take long for people to seal it up.After Concubine Yi took control of the palace, she never took a step forward.All the servants and maids in the palace were assigned to other places, and these people disappeared in the palace soon.Before Zheng Yuming moved in, this exquisite palace had been vacant for 11 years.

This is the first time Taifu has set foot here after 11 years.Although the palace has been cleaned and repaired, the air of dilapidation has not completely dissipated. The weeds emerging from the cracks in the courtyard walls and the traces of moss on the floor tiles in the courtyard are telling the history that was once abandoned.

Zheng Yuming's choice of this palace as his residence has a deep meaning of showing his identity.After moving in, Zheng Yuming didn't want waiters and maids to serve him in his daily life, he was not used to the submissiveness of palace servants.Instead, the soldiers and guards in the valley were used to do the daily duties. After the Taifu entered the gate of the palace, the guards led him to see Zheng Yuming.

"Guards, be careful that the Taifu's feet slip." A gentle voice came.

Zheng Yuming was greeted at the entrance of the hall in a silver-white brocade cloak. The Tai Tuo looked at him and felt that his white clothes were frosty, and his sleeves were facing the wind. He was as bright as a jade tree.

The corner of Taifu's mouth twitched, and when the words came to his mouth, the words were stuck in his throat, and he only bowed deeply to Zheng Yuming.

"What's the purpose of Taifu coming here late at night to find Yuming?" After entering the palace, Zheng Yuming asked Taifu to sit down after the case.

Tai Tu remained silent, just glanced at the guards who were making tea.

"Go down." Zheng Yuming saw that the Taifu was worried about the presence of a third party, so he waved his hand at the guard.The Taifu was almost sixty years old, and he came here in the middle of the night not thinking of assassinating him, but just wanting to assassinate him. Zheng Yuming didn't think he would be defeated by an old man, not to mention Mu Mu was still squatting at his feet.

"The old man has something to say to Director Zheng." After the guards left, Tai Tuo stood up and went to the desk to bow to Zheng Yuming.

Hearing Tai Tuo calling himself a director, Zheng Yuming couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Teacher please tell me."

Taifu sighed deeply, looked around the hall, the decoration in the hall was simple and elegant, no longer the delicate and warm feeling before the eleventh, from the layout of the decoration, it can be seen that the owner is no longer the original one.

"The former king had four sons, the crown prince was narrow-minded, the second son was bright and upright, the third son was a genius tomorrow, and the fourth son was intelligent and filial."

Tai Fu's tone was slow and vicissitudes, and Zheng Yuming's hand clenched into a fist unconsciously.

"Among the four sons, the crown prince is the dullest in character. Every time the former king talked about the prince, he was always dissatisfied. When the son Guang and the son grow older next year, the idea of ​​the former king becoming the prince will become stronger and stronger. The eldest son is the crown prince, and only the eldest son can be changed to other sons. The former king’s heart belonged to the son, and he was the heir of Wu, so he came up with the idea of ​​supporting Wei Ji as the heir. For example, when Wei Ji becomes the queen, no matter which one of Gongzi Guang and Gongzi Ming is the crown prince, they will be good monarchs, several times stronger than the crown prince."

The Taifu has stayed in the palace for a long time and knows the fourth son of King Wu better than anyone else. When he said this, he fixed his eyes on a place in the hall: "But no one expected that there is a vicious woman in the palace. This woman wants her son to become Chu Jun, she tried everything possible to remove the obstacles, so she rushed to do it before the first king was established."

"Teacher..." Zheng Yuming followed Taifu's gaze, he already knew why Taifu came to see him so late, the place where Taifu's eyes were fixed on was the place where Gong Ziming died of poisoning and lay down.

The Taifu raised his head, his eyes sparkled: "When the old man entered the courtyard and saw Director Zheng standing at the gate of the main hall, how much he wished that Director Zheng was Gong Ziming, but the old man knew it was not. There is no Gong Ziming in this world. Gong Ziming 11 years ago Yaoshang, the old man saw it with his own eyes."

After the Taifu finished speaking, the hall was silent. It took Zheng Yuming to let go of his fist and asked softly, "Did the Taifu come today to question Yuming?"

"No, I didn't come here to inquire about crimes. I was the only one who saw Young Master Ming's body back then." The Tai Tuo looked desperate. "The old man didn't tell anyone. Before coming, the old man had already put on the shroud."

Zheng Yuming was stunned after listening, what did the Tai Tuo mean by that?Grabbing the clues of his life experience not only did not make it public, but also came to tell him plainly, and telling him was not to take credit for it, but was prepared to be silenced by him.The more Zheng Yuming thought about it, the more confused he became. He really couldn't understand why the ancient old man acted like this.

"What does the Taifu want from Yuming?" Zheng Yuming didn't understand what the Taifu was thinking, but he could infer what the Taifu wanted from him.

"The old man guessed that the King of Ulsan told a big lie before he died. First, he was unwilling to succeed in the concubine's conspiracy, and second, he didn't want Ulsan to become a mess. Since the director's character and ability are appreciated by the son, Ulsan Lord will not care about it. The identity of Shang Gongzi Ming. Mr. Ulsan firmly believes that Director Zheng will be able to govern the country of Wu well after defeating the treacherous concubine."

Zheng Yuming carefully looked at the sixtieth old man in front of him, and only then did he feel that the Grand Tutor's famous scholar of the Wu Kingdom is not in vain.

"For the sake of the country of Wu and the safety of the family, I could have chosen to pretend to be deaf and dumb." The Taifu suddenly knelt down to Zheng Yuming as he spoke. "However, for the sake of the future of the Wu Kingdom, I have no choice but to go to the palace to admonish Director Zheng not to be on the throne as the son Ming, and the heirs to the throne can only be other clan members."

Zheng Yuming finally understood the meaning of Tai Tuo entering the palace late at night, this old guy just wanted to prevent him from substituting the fake for the real.

"Teacher please hurry up. Didn't the Grand Tutor say that there is only one person in this world who saw the corpse of Young Master Ming with his own eyes? If the Grand Tutor doesn't go out to publicize it, who else in Wu will question Yu Ming's status as a Young Master?"

"That's right, aside from the old man, there are no direct testimonials in the world, but there are many people in this world who question the identity of the son. Not long after the Ulsan army went to the front, the clansmen in the country of Wu began to move around. In the future, the surrounding princes The country will also be eager to try. After two major turmoils, the vitality of the Wu country has been severely damaged. Now it is still using troops against the Tang king and Beihou at the same time. The state of Wu is in danger!"

"Does the Taifu know something?" Before the Taifu's visit, Huang Zhong was reporting to Zheng Yuming the changes of the nobles in the royal capital. The only surviving younger brother of the King of Wu had frequent contacts with many nobles. During the discussion, he was the first to agree to the crusade against Beihou.

The Taifu did not answer Zheng Yuming directly, but bowed deeply to Zheng Yuming: "Director Zheng is a noble character, and he will do his best to complete the entrustment of Lord Ulsan. If the future king of the state of Wu is supported by Director Zheng, it proves that Director Zheng has no selfish intentions. For the sake of the state of Wu, I believe that there will be no more turmoil in the state of Wu, and the surrounding princes can only be convinced, and the emperor of Qin must have no doubts. Zheng Council will become the beloved son of the state of Wu."

Zheng Yuming understood the Taifu's hide-and-seek at this point.The Taifu came to persuade him not to be the king of Wu.

Yi Ji's actions really aroused public outrage. The Taifu knew that Zheng Yuming had used his son Ming's identity to make trouble, so he didn't favor Yi Ji to expose it.After the victory in Ulsan, the Grand Tutor saw that Zheng Yuming did not take over directly, so he waited patiently for Chu Chaohui to drive King Tang out of the Wu Kingdom.However, when some nobles in the royal capital conspired to win him over, the Tai Tu couldn't sit still. After the biggest opponent was eliminated, many royal court nobles and lords began to question Zheng Yuming's identity, and used this as an excuse to seek their own personal gain.

Firstly, the Taifu didn't want the country to be in turmoil again, and secondly, he didn't want Zheng Yuming's fake son's status to attract the attention of the surrounding princes. After all, there are always robbers who take advantage of your illness and take advantage of your life in this world.

The meaning of the Taifu's last words contains a kind of deal, as long as Zheng Yuming does not become the king of Wu, the future king of Wu will be chosen by Zheng Yuming, and the Taifu will not expose Zheng Yuming's false son-in-law identity, but will also support Zheng Yuming Use this identity to assist the future King of Wu.

"So, it's best for Wu Guo if Yu Ming doesn't inherit the throne?" Zheng Yuming's voice was slightly cold.

"Not bad!" Taifu insisted.

"Teacher, who do you think will be the crown prince?" Zheng Yuming asked with squinted eyes, his usually soft eyes rarely showed murderous intent. If the Taifu recommended someone to him, Zheng Yuming would not let the Taifu walk out of the palace alive today.

"The old man believes in Director Zheng's vision of talent." The Tai Tuo looked sincere.

"What if Yu Mingli is a fool?" Zheng Yuming chuckled lightly.

"With Director Zheng's assistance, it doesn't matter if the monarch is honest." The Taifu was silent for a moment before resolutely answering.

Zheng Yuming stared at the Tai Tuo for a long time without saying a word, the old man really did not come to negotiate with selfishness regarding the establishment of the reserve.

"Yu Ming has to think about this matter. He can answer the Tai Tuo after three days."

"The old man will thank the guests behind closed doors when I go back." The Taifu immediately assured Zheng Yuming that the Taifu would not contact anyone until Zheng Yuming did not reply.

The Taifu's reputation in the Wu Kingdom is too high, and now the king's capital is in troubled times, if the Taifu dies suddenly for no reason, it will become an excuse for the nobles with dissenting intentions to rebel.Zheng Yuming weighed the pros and cons, and before making a decision, let the Taifu return home safely, but ordered Huang Zhong to send people to secretly monitor around the Taifu's residence.

The Taifu returned to the mansion, kept the promise, closed the door tightly, neither saw visitors nor went out, and waited wholeheartedly at home for Zheng Yuming to make a decision.And Zheng Yuming couldn't think for three days, because in the early morning of the next day, two news came from the north of Wu State, one good and the other bad.These two diametrically opposite news prompted Zheng Yuming to make a decision in advance.
