Chapter 133 Earth-shattering events
The courtiers had forgotten to breathe and their eyes were shocked.
Since the founding of the State, when have so many people been killed, and there are also senior officials from the three provinces?
After it was spread, I don’t know how many people would be scared to death!
Zhao Xu drew seven or eight in a row, threw his pen and said in a deep voice: "Anyone involved in a case will be severely punished! Cai Bian, the three courts, will be held immediately after the court's discussion! The Tianxian I gave you is: There is no exile, and any case involved will be severely punished and will not be forgiven! Start immediately, all those who plead for Lu Dafang's party and make peace will be dismissed from office and seized from their posts, and the party will be discussed!"
Cai Bian, Cao Zheng, Ma Yan and Cai Jing took a breath, calmed down, and stepped out and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."
The four of them frowned and gritted their teeth, feeling anxious.
Lu Dafang, kill immediately!
This is the prime minister. In the Song Dynasty, he never killed the prime minister!
The court officials were all unable to recover, as if they were sentenced to death. Too many of them looked pale, their expressions were terrified, their hands trembled, and their legs trembled, as if they would collapse to the ground in the next second.
Others were afraid, but Zhang Dun was different. He stared at Zhao Xu with burning eyes, holding Banhu's hands, trembling slightly - excited!
Su Song looked at Zhao Xu with a sad expression.
He was not afraid, nor was he afraid. He was no longer over the rule. He was not sad about Lu Dafang being killed and the rabbit died, but he was sad that the world had changed.
The young official in front of me is really different from the previous Emperor of the Zhao family.
Su Song came from the time of Renzong and went through four dynasties. Even if he was as strong as Yingzong and Shenzong, he had never had the decisiveness, courage and cruelty to kill the prime ministers and many court officials.
Others may think that Zhao Xu was a decision in anger, but he knew very well that it was probably because the official had planned for a long time that Yang Wei's so-called evidence was just a natural excuse for him.
‘Forget it.’
Su Song felt heavy in his heart, sighed a long time, feeling more and more sad and silent.
Lu Tao, Su Shi and others were frank and could not say a word.
Han Zongdao, Ma Yan and others were trembling in their hearts, without any words.
In the Zichen Palace, it was already as cold as ice, and no one dared to speak.
After venting this, Zhao Xu was still angry, looking at Su Song and Zhang Dun, and said in a deep voice: "Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council must continue to do things, sort out the court bureau as soon as possible, and eliminate the poison of Lu Dafang's party!"
Su Song's heart was deep. He didn't dare to think about how the court would evolve and what would happen after today, but he couldn't help choosing now.
He sighed in his heart, and Su Song raised his hand powerlessly and said, "I obey the order."
Zhang Dun then raised the scepter, and said, "I obey the order!"
Zhao Xu glanced at him, looked at the hall, and said, "Dear, what else do you have to say?"
There were scattered papers in the hall, and the big ‘×’ was dazzling, indicating the ‘Zhen Li Jue’. The cold blade seemed to be hanging above all their heads. Who would dare to speak?
Zhao Xu's eyes swept over, and the ministers bowed their heads, no one dared to look at each other!
"Then let's do it as it should and leave the court." Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.
The ministers were both jealous and still couldn't calm down. They all subconsciously raised their hands and said, "Greatly send you to Your Majesty."
Zhao Xu looked around again, left Zichen Hall through the side door.
Even after Zhao Xu left, the court officials still found it difficult to relax. After a long time of stiffness, someone tried to turn around and slowly motivate everyone, and then quickly left Zichen Palace like running away.
Zhao Xu left Zichen Hall and walked back to Funing Hall. His face was straight, his eyes widened, and he opened his anger and breathed heavily.
Once Lu Dafang was eliminated, all the shackles that the "old party" had on him were torn apart!
Tangerine peel followed, cautiously, and followed with her breathing.
He knew that Zhao Xu wanted to severely punish Lu Dafang, but he never dared to think that such severe punishment would be!
Zhao Xu was walking, unable to calm down, and scenes in the hall flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile: "Dan Pi, it's better if someone takes the initiative to help. In the future, we don't have to try to do it yourself..."
Listening to the word "we", Chen Pi didn't dare to answer the conversation. She quietly pulled a little bit violently with Zhao Xu, and the deeper the bow.
At this time, the roar of Empress Dowager Gao echoed in the Cining Hall.
"Is he crazy? What does he want to do? Does he want to do this world? Are he still my Emperor of Song Dynasty and a descendant of the Zhao family?"
Empress Dowager Gao's face turned pale, and she held the crook and beat the table in front of her, and the roar resounded throughout the Cining Hall.
In the Cining Hall, Zhou He knelt on the ground, his face pale and bloodless, and trembled violently.
There was no one else in the Cining Palace, the palace maids and the yellow gate were outside, all of them shrank their necks and looked frightened.
Empress Dowager Gao was so angry that she was unprecedented.
The killing of Lu Dafang and others was to separate the Zhao family from the court officials, or even to oppose them! The Emperor and the scholars shared the world. Without the support of the scholars, how could the Zhao family rule the world and hold the throne firmly?!
"Go! Call him over to me and go immediately!"
Empress Dowager Gao shouted at Zhou Heli, and the murderous intention was as real.
Zhou He knelt on the ground and cried, "Empress, no..."
Bang
Empress Dowager Gao smashed the table again and said angrily: "Go quickly!"
Zhou He did not move, knelt on the ground, cried continuously, and said, "Empress, the official family has sentenced Mr. Lu and others to behead him. You can't..."
No matter how angry Empress Dowager Gao was, she could hear Zhou He’s voice, with a ferocious expression, but she remembered in her heart how she treated Zhao Xu.
He was extremely harsh on his biological mother. He didn't say that treatment was just an ordinary concubine, and he often taught lessons and punished him. He even used all means to treat Zhao Xu.
She decided to collect the jade seal, report, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and recruit the beauty to serve her. In order to control Zhao Xu, for a while, Zhao Xu was even arranged to live in the attic outside her bedroom.
The control of Zhao Xu was almost as high as a "spider silk", not to mention the fact that Zhao Xu was in charge of power but failed to rule.
Empress Dowager Gao felt a little chilled in her heart when she was furious.
How would Zhao Xu take revenge on her? Force her to death and seize all his honor, so that she could not be buried with Yingzong, and would she be stigmatized for thousands of years in history?
Zhou He didn't dare to speak, and his crying was getting low.
At this time, the court officials successively left the Zichen Hall and walked out of the palace.
As the first hero to overthrow Lu Dafang, Yang Wei received the title of "Yang Sanbian" in the hall. He knew that the court officials were disdainful and angry at him, so he hurriedly ran first.
Su Song walked towards the direction of the Privy Council step by step with crutches.
He looked dazed and his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking, it was messy and heavy.
He came from Renzong's dynasty and experienced the four emperors, but this is the first time he has seen such a scene today!
Su Song didn't dare to think about what Zhao Xu would do next. He was more worried that today's affairs would cause more profound and unpredictable impacts and consequences.
Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, brought Liang Tao, Ma Yan, Cao Zheng, Shen Qi and others back to Qingwafang. What happened just now was a big incident!
A big earth-shaking event!
They not only need to stabilize the situation and soothe people's hearts, but also take the opportunity to make arrangements. They must never cause trouble and guard against some things!
As soon as Zhang Dun arrived at the green tiled room, he turned to a group of people, with his sword eyebrows half-up and a stern expression as if he was looking at a group of students, and said, "We must do four things next: First, act in accordance with the order. Thunder quickly executed Lu Dafang and other party members, settled all recent corruption cases, and prepared for the "new policy". Second, the personnel of each department should be properly handled as soon as possible. I will present to Your Majesty and take the position immediately. All the yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture should be serious and prevented from jumping over the wall! Fourth, the military pay and military preparations on the front line of Huanqing Road should be given priority. Anyone who dares to ruin military and national affairs will never be merciless!"
There were seven or eight people present, and seemed to be shocked by Zhao Xu's "Zheng Li Jue" just now. Listening to Zhang Dun's words, Liang Tao and others quickly raised their hands and said, "Sir, obey the order."
Zhang Dun's eyes flashed like a sharp sword. He looked at a group of people and said, "Okay, let's talk about the arrangements below..."
Liang Tao and others immediately listened seriously.
Lu Dafang and others are about to be "beheaded and executed", which will definitely cause an uproar. These people must stabilize the court for the government and not cause any major chaos!
Cai Jing was not called by Zhang Dun because Cai Jing was not among his future 'team'.
At this time, Cai Jing and Cai You and his son walked out of the palace gate side by side and headed towards the Ministry of Justice.
Cai You tried his best to keep calm, but his eyes were still evasive and fearful.
Cai Jing had no expression on his face, and his face became more and more mean. Two strands of white hair were floating. After walking for a while, he said indifferently: "Do you need to tell your father a secret?"
Cai You struggled in his heart, and a ruthless look flashed on his pretty tender face, turning into a wry smile, and said, "Father, what do you want the child to say? It's just that Grand Official Chen sent me a message and asked me to do what he said."
The title of the Huangmen Order by the Foreign Court. Even though Chenpi is not yet, Cai You called it this way.
Cai Jing frowned, turned to look at him, looked at him with a burning look, and said lightly: "Accompanying the king is like a tiger, and you are still careful when you are a father. Don't be confused."
'I won't miss this opportunity!' Cai You said in his heart, but his face stiffly: "What my father said."
Cai Jing looked at Cai You and saw that he didn't listen. He was about to speak when a clerk from the Ministry of Justice suddenly looked panicked and hurried over, glanced at Cai You, and whispered in Cai Jing's ear.
Cai Jing's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Go back!"
Cai Jing didn't care about Cai You or anything else, and ran forward directly, with a very fast speed.
This was the first time Cai You saw his father lose his composure like this. He was shocked at first, and then carefully thought about his father's words just now. He frowned, his eyes flashed for a while, and he gritted his teeth secretly, and strode to catch up with Cai Jing.
He needs to know what happened.
When Cai Jing rushed back to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice was facing a great enemy and was blocked everywhere, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone had the words "cautious and fearful" written on their faces.
No matter who was greeting, Cai Jing rushed into the prison and came to Lu Dafang's prison.
The prison door was already open, and only one servant and the yamen runner were there, and others could not get close to it.
The assistant minister faced the question of speaking, Cai Jing rushed into the cell and walked into the prison, and came to Lu Dafang.
Lu Dafang sat on the chair, curled up his fat body, lowered his head, placed his hands on his legs, his expression was not visible on his old face, and his swollen eyes seemed to be open and closed.
——As he always looked, even if outsiders approached, they couldn’t feel anything.
Cai Jing stared at Lu Dafang, his face twitched, and he stretched out his right hand and slowly placed it under Lu Dafang's nose. After a moment, he clenched his fist with his right hand, and his expression appeared a little ferocious.
The Minister of Justice wiped the cold sweat on his face and was filled with fear. Then he said, "Just just now, the yamen runner cleaned his inkstone as usual, and shouted a few times but didn't respond. After this test, he found that he was dead... Shangshu, it's not our fault, he committed suicide..."
