Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 103 Ke Zheng is in trouble

"Oh? This is interesting. Then tell me, what's wrong with my idea?" Ke Zheng was not angry after hearing this, but was actually a little happy.

Because in his opinion, this is an opportunity, an opportunity for the Zhang family to make a fool of themselves. He has no good impression of a family like the Zhang family that helps others do evil.

After all, any good person would get so close to a sycophant like Xiao Qinyan, and if he could get so close, he must not be a good person.

"Xiang Ke, you are very knowledgeable. This junior has a question, and I hope that Xiang Ke can give me some advice." Zhang Heng did not directly accuse Ke Zheng.

After all, he is a junior. If he is directly accused, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will have to bear the responsibility. At the very least, he will be labeled as having no tutor.

At this time, Ke Zheng had a premonition that what this kid said might not be a good question, but he was very confident in his knowledge.

So he looked directly at him and said, "Okay, I want to hear what is going on that can stump a bold person like you, Goro."

Zhang Heng ignored the sarcasm in Ke Zheng's words, but slowly said, "Xiang Ke, I heard before that, starting from the reign of Taizu, you literati have a sorting order, like heaven, earth, king, dear, and master." , my question is, where should this character be ranked?"

Hiss, everyone who heard this question suddenly took a breath of cold air, because Zhang Heng's question was so harsh.

Normally, this would be just an ordinary sophistry, but now, especially after Ke Zheng just said the word character.

This issue is quite different, because what Xiao Qinyan is most criticized for is actually Meishang. He relied entirely on pleasing officials to get where he is today.

So the contradiction arises at this time. The so-called charming is actually loyalty to the official family, which is what Ke Zheng now calls his character.Couldn't it be that he was reminding Xiao Qinyan not to be too loyal to the official family?

This is a kind of sophistry, yes, but now it has become a problem, because no matter how Ke Zheng answers at this time, he will fall into Zhang Heng's trap.

Everyone else present, including Ke Zheng himself, knew this very well.

Others were surprised by Zhang Wulang's sharp words, but Ke Zheng was in a dilemma. After all, some of these things were not allowed to be put on the table, or in other words, this layer of window paper could not be pierced.

In fact, the pursuit of all ministers, in addition to high officials and generous salaries, is balance, the balance between monarch and ministers. This is what Ke Zheng and other ministers in high positions pursue.

But these words cannot be said, because they are treasonous words. Even if everyone understands it tacitly, they cannot be said.

They could look down on people like Xiao Qinyan, but they couldn't explain the reason too clearly, so at this time, Ke Zheng didn't know how to answer.

To put it simply, the emperor can be scolded, but you cannot say that it is wrong for his ministers to be loyal to his majesty. Otherwise, how could he flatter his superiors and bully his subordinates?

At this time, Xiao Qinyan couldn't help but feel so happy. After all, he was also a human being. He was now in a high position, and he also wanted to save face.

He was so humiliated by Ke Zheng before, but he couldn't say a word. He felt very uncomfortable. Now that someone was helping him to vent his anger, how could he be unhappy?
But he was happy because he couldn't let Ke Zheng come to the stage. After all, this was his birthday banquet. No matter what Ke Zhenghuai had in mind, he was still his guest.And the most important thing is that Ke Zheng has been deposed now. If he makes a fool of himself at his birthday party today, wouldn't it mean that he is petty?

So I could only say, "My dear nephew, why don't you say you are a military commander? How could you ask this question? Are you totally going in the opposite direction?"

"Ah? Is that so? That's my nephew Meng Lang. I always thought that they were together, but I didn't expect that they are not next to each other?"

"Ke Xiang, the junior's lack of knowledge made a joke, and I hope you have a lot of adults, so don't be offended." Zhang Heng listened to Xiao Qin's words, and he naturally used the excuse to get off the donkey.

After all, today is Xiao Qinyan's birthday party, and it is mainly Xiao Qinyan who is being humiliated. His family is just a disaster. Now that the rightful owner has spoken, he can no longer be aggressive.

It's just an apology. After all, I am a junior. When I see someone like Ke Zheng, I should bow to him. This time, it means that I have a good upbringing.

After hearing this, Ke Zheng's expression softened. He did not get angry, because he already considered himself to be knowledgeable, and he was a junior from an honorable family.

If he was reluctant at this time, it would be too stingy, but if he didn't have an attack, he could only hold back the discomfort in his heart.

So he sat there without saying a word, and the other people present naturally didn't want to get together to make him feel uncomfortable, so the atmosphere became better for a while.

Zhang Heng naturally received the warning look from the third brother and the approving look from the fourth brother, but he didn't pay attention to it, because he naturally had his own purpose in doing so.

The reason why he came forward was not only to avenge his own family, but also to show his loyalty secretly. After all, the officials would definitely know what happened at the birthday banquet.

Therefore, what Zhang Heng said today will naturally be known to the officials, and what he said is not something that a noble son can say.

Since it wasn't his own intention, who else could it be?Naturally, it can only be what his father and his elders mean?

This matter is obvious. The Zhang family is showing their loyalty to the official family. Even their contact with Xiao Qinyan can be relied on.

After all, some things are not afraid of people talking, but afraid of people's associations. Zhang Heng only needs to guarantee that what he said is what the officials want to hear. As for whether the officials will think of anything, it is none of his business.

The banquet ended in this superficially harmonious atmosphere, and the three Zhang Heng brothers naturally got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Xiao Qinyan stepped forward to pat Zhang Heng and said, "Nephew, we need to keep in touch frequently from now on." ah?"

After hearing this, Zhang Heng naturally nodded repeatedly, and then the three brothers got on his own carriage, but what was the difference? This time the three brothers got on Zhang Heng's carriage together.

"Wuro, you were too impulsive just now. This is not like your character. What are you thinking? Please tell us immediately, otherwise we will be in trouble when you go back." Carriage, Zhang Ye said impatiently.

Although Zhang He on the side did not speak, the expression on his face said everything. Zhang Heng did not show off when he saw this and directly stated his plan.
