Chapter 106: The ruler and his ministers all kill~)
The voices about Lu Dafang outside gradually became stronger.
Some impeach and speak fiercely; some argue like rivers and tides.
Zhao Xu had been waiting for someone to come to him and talk about this matter, pleaded for Lu Dafang and protected the privilege of the court officials of "the punishment cannot be punished." However, he did not expect that the first one would be the Minister of Zongzheng Temple.
The relationship between Zongzheng Temple and the Song Dynasty royal family is self-evident. This temple minister does not seem to be on Zhao Xu's position.
After all, he is also a conservative civil servant!
Zhao Xu knew that this was just the beginning. He took the teacup beside him, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Li Qing's family, the three officials and yamen were deficient in the deficit of three million, and the military pay of Huanqing Road disappeared. They were all intimate with the Lu family. Do you think it is 'virtue that is not worthy of position'?"
Li Gongyan looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, even if Mr. Lu is not good at teaching his children, it will not affect his conduct. Mr. Lu has a grand reputation in the court and the country, and all the literati in the world respect him as much as his father. How can the people in the world deal with him so severely? Moreover, even if he has ever been sentenced to rebuke and demotion. How can you show your majesty's forgiveness when he is so strict with him? The court is the most kind, and you should not be killed by a stick or imprisoned... Your Majesty's demeanor, the court's demeanor, and the Song Dynasty's demeanor, shouldn't Your Majesty take into account one or two?"
What it says makes sense!
Zhao Xu looked at Li Gongyan and took a sip of tea, his eyes flashing slightly.
Li Gongyan's words are probably the thoughts of a considerable number of people in the court or the majority of people. The court officials make mistakes, punish big warnings, scold a few words, or exiles far away. The emperor should be able to tolerate people, how can he be arrested and imprisoned?
Zhao Xu put down the teacup and said, "In the eyes of Li Qing's family, Mr. Lu probably has 'no way of teaching his children' or 'no virtue to be worthy of his position'. He should scold him or be demoted. So, has the Li Qing family ever seen the bad influence brought by Lu Dafang and others?"
Li Gongyan frowned slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, I believe that everything should not be too much. Even if the court officials are wrong, they should be dealt with according to the ancestor's system. Do not kill them as they please. Our Song Dynasty has always governed the country with mercy and benevolence and ruled the people. Your Majesty uses his power to control people and threatens the court officials with life and death. It is not done by the saint king. Please think twice."
It still makes sense!
Chen Pi stood aside and listened, glanced at Zhao Xu quietly, and stood up straight without hesitation. He knew very well that the words of this Zongzheng Temple minister were not liked by the officials, and this person might be in trouble.
Zhao Xu looked at Li Gongyan and slowly thought in his heart.
Li Gongyan's words represent the thoughts of civil servants in the court and the country. It won't take long to see countless memorials and people come to see the Chuigong Hall, and they are talking about this truth in a similar way.
Must be blocked!
Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes. He didn't like such clichés. Court officials need to learn what awe is and what a measure is!
Especially, the decadent and decadent trend must be changed!
Zhao Xu looked up at Li Gongyan and said lightly: "Li Qing family, your words are heartbroken."
Li Gongyan was not afraid, and raised his hand calmly and said, "Please give me advice."
Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Do you know what the three million yuan deficit in the Sansi yamen means? It means the expenses of hundreds of thousands of people per month! What does the disappearance of the three million military pay on Huanqing Road mean? It means a great danger to the frontier! In Kaifeng City, we will do our best to embezzle the people, ignore the hardships and life of the people, regardless of the safety of the frontier! The poor and uneasy people are my subjects, and the soldiers guarding the frontier regardless of their lives are my subjects. In Kaifeng City, we will do our best to ignore their lives and deaths.
The people who are thriving on the Song Dynasty without regard for it are also my subjects! Now, one of my subjects wants to dig the foundation of my Song Dynasty, dig the walls of my Song Dynasty, and suck the bone marrow of my Song Dynasty, but you come to tell me, I want to be polite? Have you asked those people and soldiers, do they want to be polite? Scholars, for the country and the people, Li Gongyan, why are you studying?! Is it for these corrupt officials, or for you to be like them? Is it for this day in the future, I also want my forgiveness!"
Zhao Xu became more and more harsh as he spoke, and in the end, he was even more angry and slapped the table.
Bang
The sound of the table made the atmosphere of the Chuigong Hall seem to be suffocating.
Chen Pi stretched her face and bowed slightly. The ostentatious look at Li Gongyan, with an extremely bad look.
Li Gongyan looked slightly shocked, and he quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not."
Zhao Xu became more and more angry as he spoke, and said coldly: "Then why didn't you sign the memorial on Lu Dafang?"
Li Gongyan didn't expect Zhao Xu to react so fiercely. He just 'normal advice'. Feeling Zhao Xu's anger, his face moved and said, "I... didn't know at that time."
Zhao Xu stared at him coldly and said, "Both ends of the rat! People come out, take them out, stick them eighty, dismiss all official positions, and exil to Lingnan, and will never be forgiven!"
Li Gongyan was frightened and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake I have made, so please let Your Majesty make it clear!"
Zhao Xu's expression became more and more cold, and he said, "Okay, okay, then I will tell you! First, Lu Dafang controls authority, deceives the emperor, blocks the way of speech, and has been tyrannical and powerless, and has ruined the country for so long. You are the minister of Zongzheng Temple. Don't you know? Second, Lu Dafang has formed a party for personal gain, and his party members are circulating in the court and the country, wantonly rejects dissidents, and attacks opponents. Isn't this violating the ancestral system? Third, the corruption case of the Three Departments, the Lu family is involved so deeply. The Lu family has millions of yuan, and there are so many things happening inside and outside the Lu family, but you haven't heard or seen it at all?! Lu Dafang has so many things, I will kill him a hundred times without much! Li Gongyan, are you not seeing it? Are you blind, or are you deliberately turning a blind eye and coming to me to say this to embarrass me and show your loyalty to the world! Li Gongyan, you are stepping on me to invite fame, you are bold! Isn't this heartbreaking enough?"
Li Gongyan's face was pale in an instant, his eyes blinked in fear, his back was cold, and his mind was in chaos and he had no idea what to say.
Everyone knows what the court looks like, but they are all "habits" and no one cares. Seeing that Zhao Xu, the official family broke through these, Li Gongyan didn't know how to respond. He was afraid of being eighty-year-old and exiled to Lingnan. He knelt on the ground, trembling without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Is there nothing to say?"
Li Gongyan still wanted to struggle, but he couldn't say a word in his heart.
Zhao Xu was too lazy to talk too much, so he waved his hand.
Chenpi had been unable to bear it for a long time and shouted directly outside: "Are you dead when you come? Pull it out!"
Immediately, four imperial guards rushed in and dragged Li Gongyan outwards.
Li Gongyan's throat moved, as if he was thinking about something. In response to Zhao Xu's cold gaze, he was finally pulled away by the guards in a limp manner.
Outside the Chuigong Hall, Li Gongyan's screams quickly sounded. But before the eighty time was still there, there was no movement outside.
A guard came in and said, "Report to your Majesty, the man... is dead."
Zhao Xu snorted and said, "If you die, you will die. Let Xianggong Zhang select a new minister of Zongzheng Temple. Is it a lack of an official position in the Song Dynasty?"
The guards dared not speak, and bowed and responded to retreat.
Chen Pi pursed her lips, feeling secretly happy for Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was also very happy and felt much better. He continued to read the information. He was mainly reading the "Qingmiao Method" and was carefully examining it.
Just when Zhao Xu and Chen Pi were happy, the two things about "the officials' houses were killed by the ministers, Li Gongyan, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and "the minister Zhang Dun killed Song Lian in the streets in the inspection department" were quickly interpreted in Kaifeng City, as if they had wings, spreading all over the streets, the mansions of high-ranking officials, and the tile and tile trays.
