Chapter 197 Empress Dowager Gao shot

The seal is in the hands of Zhang Dun and others. If Zhang Dun uses Zhao Hao's seal to stamp the verdict documents, it will be no different from whether Zhao Hao has personally tried it!

Liu Changshi panicked: "King, this seal must be taken back, I'll go now!"

Zhao Hao shook his head in a deep look and said, "I can't get it back. Cai Bian asked Chen Qi to come to see me before, so he also asked me to go and examine me personally..."

Before he finished speaking, footsteps rang out outside.

Zhao Hao hurriedly lay back and covered himself with a quilt.

Liu Changshi helped organize and try to restore the original state just now.

Yang Hui came in and immediately smelled a smell of urine. He glanced at Zhao Hao, who was obviously different from before, and Liu Changshi, who looked a little strange. He sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Next time, if the turmeric oil is poured on my face, I won't go out."

Liu Changshi seemed to be unable to understand, and laughed and stood beside him.

Yang Hui sat there until the evening. He did not leave the palace and was in the side hall for dinner. He made up his mind not to go out.

The three people in the hall actually knew it well, just to endure each other, and whoever can’t stand it will lose!

Cao Zheng came to the Qingwafang again. After Cai Bian finished speaking the 'case law', he looked in deep thought. After a while, he said: "If it is 'judgment first and then establishment', it is not impossible. It just requires strict control. Otherwise, Dali Temple will be controlled and used by those who are interested, and the consequences will be too serious."

Cai Bian was calmer and said, "Zhao Hao is not enough to be the minister of Dali Temple, and the court is still unstable. After the stability, Dali Temple has a transcendent status and ordinary people cannot move. In addition, as long as the laws are established thoroughly, it is not easy to be at the mercy of others."

Cao Zheng was still a little uneasy, but this was also the only way to resolve the case of Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others. He said: "Yes. After the officials returned, they ordered the Dali Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture to come for trial and asked the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and Yang Huiguan to investigate."

Cai Bian nodded and then said, "You will take this seal and go to Cining Palace to meet the King of Yan later. I always feel that he is a little weird."

Before Cao Zheng could speak, Zhang Dun came in from outside and said, "Pretty. I asked the imperial physician and asked some people with prescriptions. He had a special herb for disguise. He had a disease of this kind, eating some special herbs can disguise it. He would not kill his life, and he would not fall asleep at any time."

Cai Bian was not surprised, looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Dun had a sharp eyebrows and said, "How can people with ulterior motives indulge themselves? Cao Zheng, you draft a document, stamp the seal of the King of Yan, and go to Cining Hall. All the orders of Dali Temple in the future come from the King of Yan! In a few days, the Xia envoy will come. You act as the reception envoy, and then go to Kaifeng Prefecture to be the prefectural chief. This is what the official means."

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture is known as the "Cut-Captain". The prefect of the prefect is just one step away from the prefect of Li. It can be said that it is much higher than the original Dali Temple Minister!

Cao Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement and immediately said, "The official is the one who takes the order!"

Zhang Dun gave a few words, waited for Cao Zheng to leave, looked at Cai Bian and said, "The official family is ready to go out of the city to greet Zhang Feng and others in person. I object, but the official family seems to insist on doing so."

Cai Bian immediately frowned. The emperor went out of the city to welcome the Bians. Such a specification has never been seen in the Song Dynasty, and it does not conform to the Song Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs.

Cai Bian pondered and said, "It is okay for the official family to strengthen their troops. I know what you are against is to welcome Zhang Feng, and the official family may not be willing to listen."

Zhang Dun had a serious face and said, "If you find an opportunity to persuade the officials, the military officials should not be too high."

Cai Bian responded casually, but knew in his heart that this was all excuses. Zhang Dun was still concerned about the relationship between the two brothers, which would be detrimental to the reform.

Cao Zheng drafted the document in the Zhengshi Hall and stamped it with a large seal newly engraved by Zhao Hao. When the ink marks were dry, he went to Cining Hall.

Yang Hui was still pretending to be asleep, and Zhao Hao was still pretending to be asleep.

When Liu Changshi saw Cao Zheng coming in, he looked instinctively nervous, and when he saw the big seal in his hand, he became even more uneasy.

When Cao Zheng and Yang Hui met with him, they didn't care when Yang Hui ignored him. They stepped forward and smiled at Liu Changshi and said, "Liu Changshi, that's the case. The subordinate officials will be transferred. This is to say goodbye to His Highness the King of Yan. In addition, before leaving, they must arrange the affairs of Dali Temple and formulate some matters. The seal has been stamped. Please let Liu Changshi know and verify it in the future."

Looking at the official document handed over by Cao Zheng, Liu Changshi kept staring at the seal, glanced at Cao Zheng, took it with some caution, and looked through the official document, his face began to change constantly.

In this document, a series of government affairs of Dali Temple were arranged, including the current "Wang Anli case", "Chen Chao case", etc., as well as many personnel appointments, all of which were named King Yan and were covered with the bright red seal of King Yan!

Even though he was prepared, Liu Changshi was still panicked, tried his best to control his expression, and said with a smile: "Cao Siqing, my king is still sleeping. Isn't it appropriate to use the name of the king?"

Cao Zheng said: "The moment the emperor appointed the edict of His Highness the King of Yan, he was no longer the minister of the Dali Temple. Now it is just because His Highness the King of Yan was seriously ill and could not escape. Due to reason and law, the subordinate officials could not perform the power and duties of the Dali Temple Minister."

Cao Zheng’s words mean very simple. Don’t you use mine if you don’t use the King of Yan?

Liu Changshi wanted to speak but stopped, and was very anxious. If Cao Zheng was allowed to do this, what's the point of hiding in the Cining Hall?

Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed, twitched his eyelids a few times. Liu Changshi's words made him feel that there was something wrong with the official document, and he suddenly coughed twice.

Liu Changshi looked back and understood it and said to Cao Zheng: "I have to discuss this matter for a long time. Cao Siqing, whether this official document and seal can be left behind, my king may wake up at any time."

Cao Zheng shook his head decisively and said, "Shi Liu, this seal should be placed in Dali Temple. This is the rule of the court. In addition, if His Highness of the King of Yan wakes up, please inform the Political Affairs Hall immediately. The officials will also have to hand over it, so they will not disturb you."

Seeing that Cao Zheng was about to leave, Liu Changshi was not willing to let him go, so he quickly took a few steps to stop him and said, "Cao Siqing, wait a little longer, is it too urgent to examine tomorrow? Before my king fell into a coma, he said that Dali Temple should be done in every detail and only after it is checked can he do things. You cannot be too anxious."

Cao Zheng was stunned and said, "Is this what His Highness Yan's meaning? Is it going to push back all the recent events?"

Liu Changshi couldn't speak immediately. The King of Yan didn't want to get involved in the Dali Temple. If these things became the King of Yan's intentions, then the spearheads of these storms would definitely be directed at the King of Yan. It would be a waste of effort after hiding for so long.

Yang Hui kept watching, walked over and said coldly: "Your Highness, if you continue to pretend like this, you will be unable to do anything!"

The trial will begin tomorrow. Seeing that this day is about to pass, Yang Hui can no longer sit still.

If the King of Yan cannot preside over the trial, then the case of "Wang Anli" will be fooled by Zhang Dun and others! Thank you for your hard work for so long, how can you tolerate it!

Zhao Hao's mouth on the bed couldn't help but twitch, and anger arose in his heart: Zhang Dun forced him, Yang Hui also forced him. Why did he, who was originally out of the matter, come to this crater and cannot move forward and retreat?

At this moment, Zhou He appeared outside the door.

Cao Zheng looked at him and was slightly shocked. What should the Empress Dowager do?

Yang Hui's expression changed secretly. People came from his heart, so he naturally hoped that Empress Dowager Gao would continue to rule the country from behind, so there would be nothing. Everyone was content with peace and enjoyed the prosperity. But now Empress Dowager Gao has withdrawn the curtain. If there is another chaotic situation of the emperor and the empress fighting for power, it is definitely not what he wants to see!

Liu Changshi looked at Zhou He and felt aroused, and rushed forward and raised his hand and said, "Huangmen Ling, my king is seriously ill, but these two people have to force him to go out for trial, so I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision."

Zhou He stood not far from the door with expressionless expression and said, "The Empress Dowager said that if His Highness, King Yan, would go to the first trial. Not only now, but the Wang Anli case behind him will be fair, just and open as the official said."

As soon as Zhou He's words fell, Cao Zheng, Yang Hui and Liu Changshi's faces changed!

The Empress Dowager, have you also participated?

No one would doubt Empress Dowager Gao's ability and influence. Even if Zhao Xu cleans up the court and makes trouble, she will definitely be a thunderous method if she really takes action suddenly, and maybe Zhao Xu can't resist it!

Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed, slowly frowned.

He hid here just to survive, to avoid disputes between the government and the country and the possible grudges of the eldest nephew. Now, is his mother asking him to go out, is she sending him to death?

Cao Zheng was secretly shocked, but he remained silent, staring at Zhao Hao on the bed.

He already knew from Zhang Dun that Zhao Hao might be pretending!

Yang Hui was even more clear and stood with a blank expression on his face.

Liu Changshi stood up uneasy and didn't know how to reply.

"Ahem,"

Suddenly, Zhao Hao coughed a few times, and the people who were already watching him suddenly had different expressions.

Zhao Hao, after all, can't help it?

Liu Changshi glanced at the few people, walked quickly to the bed, and said with a hurricane look: "Master, you are awake, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'm going to pass on the imperial physician?"

Zhao Hao seemed to be sleepy and said depressedly: "Okay."

Seeing that Zhao Hao was awake, Cao Zheng knew that he was going to leave the palace to personally interrogate, which was of great importance. He moved his eyes and raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, please take care of yourself. The emperor will come to visit you another day."

Yang Hui went forward directly, looked at Zhao Hao who was still pretending to be fake, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, I will send the case file here later, and I hope your Highness can conduct a good trial."

Zhao Hao seemed to be unable to hear clearly, with a confused look on his face.

Yang Hui was very dissatisfied with the King of Yan who had left him sitting for two days. He hummed, turned around and left.

After the outsider left, Zhou He stepped forward and looked at Zhao Hao who had already sat up. He paused and said, "Your Highness, what the Empress meant is to drag it if you can, the longer the drag, the better."

Zhao Hao stopped pretending, showed dissatisfaction and said, "What is the Queen Mother doing? The official family is dissatisfied with me and may kill me at any time. Will the Queen Mother really ignore me?"

Zhou He looked calm and said, "Your Highness, the official is kind-hearted, how could he kill his uncle? Don't think too much and do things with your heart. The villain has surrendered."

Zhao Hao looked at his back, and his eyebrows were filled with irritability.

He regretted it very much now. He couldn't help but make his head stand up and make his eldest nephew hate him. Now, not only the eldest nephew, but the "new and old" parties also regarded him as a pawn and pushed forward desperately, so he couldn't help but hide at all!

It's really hateful!
