Chapter 3 Thanks Dahai, you help Taishi!

Zhao Huan sat on the throne and whispered: "My thought."

The eunuch next to him immediately announced the edict: "I am honored by Haotian's favor: the Jin thieves went south. Li Bangyan, as the priest, feared the Jin thieves like a tiger, was insulted by the integrity of the Song Dynasty. He removed the throne from the Meridian Gate and killed them immediately! I admire this!"

As soon as this edict was released, the ministers were shocked.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, civil officials and ministers have never been killed. The most serious thing is exile, let alone publicly declared murder in the court, and the one who killed the current dynasty.

And it would be too much to just propose peace and decapitate, right?

The ministers thought this way, but Zhao Huan did not think so. In the eyes of later generations, Li Bangyan's peace talks were about compensation, cede land, and treason!

If a traitor fails to kill the country, is he still willing to be an old man?

Your Majesty, please spare me. Your Majesty, there is no Meridian Gate in my court. What the hell is Meridian Gate?

"Your Majesty must not!" It was Wang Fu who spoke, not how good the relationship between Wang Fu and Li Bangyan was to save him. On the contrary, Wang Fu and Li Bangyan were in a hostile relationship. Wang Fu had just stood up and said that if he wanted to kill Li Bangyan, wouldn't he be guilty of Wang Fu?

Tong Guan, who also said he wanted to negotiate peace, took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.

Wang Fu said: "The Holy Emperor is here, and since his ancestors, I have never killed scholars. I don't want to start making exceptions from Your Majesty."

Zhao Huankeng said strongly: "You are worried too much, so you will start to make an exception from me!"

"Minist and other people are loyal to the king and the country are tragic. The peace talks about Li Taizai are also for the sake of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. The Holy Emperor has just ascended the throne and wants to kill loyal ministers. This is the way of Jie and Zhou, and it is not advisable!"

Zhao Huan stared at Wang Fu directly, and he keenly realized the deeper meaning behind Wang Fu's words.

Wang Fu is definitely not a loyal person, nor is he a dare to give advice.

Zhao Huan had just ascended the throne. All the ministers of the dynasty were old ministers of Emperor Huizong of Song, especially Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, Cai Jing, and Tong Guan, who were later called the "Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty". These people all supported Emperor Huizong of Song, even though Emperor Weizong of Song abdicated now.

So they dare to act like this in the court, and they have a backer.

According to later historical books, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan did kill Li Bangyan, but that was also forced by the situation. When it was absolutely necessary, he exiled Cai Jing and beheaded Tong Guan.

But in Zhao Huan's current opinion, those things did not do enough, far from enough.

He wants Li Bangyan to die now! He wants Cai Jing to be ashes immediately, and he can't wait for a day!

Zhao Huan stood up and said angrily: "Wang Qing, what a loyal and patriotic king and how a man is for the dawn of the world! Why! Where did you die?"

The Chief Censor He also hurriedly stepped out: "I am here!"

"read!"

He Ye said: "In the second year of Xuanhe, the small bandits of Fang La in Muzhou disobeyed and rebelled. Wang Fu whitewashed the peace and did not report to the court, which led to the expansion of the rebel forces and captured the six counties. The former emperor sent Tong Taishi to lead a 100,000 army in Qin to destroy the small bandits. Wang Fu was still transferred to the young master for his merits and promoted to the young master! Wang Fu was guilty of deceiving the king!"

The ancients all called each other by their characters. If they called their names directly, they would mean disrespect.

He Ye called Wang Fu's name directly at this time, and the meaning was already very obvious. I want to kill you!

"In addition, Wang Fu took advantage of the opportunity of high power to be a traitor, collected many children and enjoyed jade and silk, seduced and robbed Deng Zhigang's concubines who were waiting for Deng Zhigang, and instead exiled to Lingnan with Deng Zhigang. Later, Wang Fu was promoted to Shaobao and Taizai (Left Prime Minister), and asked to set up Yingfeng Bureau. Wang Fu also served as the chief of the Chinese and foreign money, and allowed him to use it at will, and the world's financial resources were used to supply the Feng Bureau. All the rare things produced in the water and soil of all directions were harsh on the people, but less than one-tenth of the treasures given to the previous emperor, and the rest were all returned to Wang Fu. The Censor Chen Guoting asked to abolish those redundant officials named in the name of imperial order, and Zhang Rulin, the transfer envoy of the west Beijing West, requested to abolish the flowers and fruits of Fengxi Road. The previous emperor adopted it, and Wang Fu also submitted a letter to impeach him and both of them were exiled to the far county. Wang Fu had committed the crime of embezzlement and bribery, arbitrarily power, framed loyal and good people, and fish and meat!

After several major charges were listed, He Ye added another one: "Just just now, Wang Fu also said that he would insult my integrity in the Song Dynasty, and he should be executed immediately!"

After the Censor General finished speaking, Wang Fu stared at He Ye furiously and said, "Censor He, you are talking nonsense, you dare to insult the true nature!"

"Your Majesty, why are you ulterior motives? I am wronged!"

Zhao Huan looked as if he was ashen, staring at Wang Fu and said, "I miss it!"

The eunuch on one side seemed to be shocked by Zhao Huan's momentum, and trembled a little. He immediately took out the second imperial edict and said loudly: "I am the favor of Haotian. Prime Minister Wang Fu is corrupt and abused the law, deceived the superiors and concealed the people, and levyed the masses with great levies! You can execute him, confiscate the house, and destroy the nine clans!"

"Ah!" Wang Fu's face turned gray in an instant.

"Your Majesty! No! Your Majesty! Since the founding of our country, we have never killed scholars and officials, let alone killed nine clans. Your Majesty should not commit the atrocities of Jie and Zhou!"

"I hope your majesty think twice!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground, except Li Gang and He Ye, shouting in unison.

Li Bangyan and Wang Fu's expressions instantly recovered a little, thinking that we are old ministers of the Supreme Emperor and have been in charge of the government for decades. If you, a new emperor, will kill two prime ministers in a row the next day. Isn't this ridiculous? Even if your imperial edict comes out, all the civil and military officials in the court will inevitably oppose it, and you can only take back your life!

"Xie Dahai! Why are you still standing there?"

Xie Dahai was very happy. In the past, these husbands were extremely disgusted with the Imperial City Division and repeatedly advised the Supreme Emperor to remove the Imperial City Division and called them black sheep. Xie Dahai had long seen that they were unhappy.

Immediately, several front hall guards twisted Li Bangyan and Wang Fu like small chickens.

"Taoshi, save me!"

"Taoshi!"

Their call to the Grand Tutor is the famous Cai Jing. Cai Jing is blind at this time, but his desire for power still exudes fanatical vitality. Li Bangyan went to see Zhao Huan last night, and he instigated him to test it.

Cai Jing finally stood up and said, "The Holy Emperor is above, and the law of the ancestors is unchangeable. When His Majesty ascended the throne, he wanted to kill the prime minister. This is a sign of the destruction of the country, let alone the previous emperor is still there."

The reason why Cai Jing stood up and spoke was not that he wanted to protect Li Bangyan and Wang Fu. In fact, both of them had offended Cai Jing one after another.

Cai Jing just didn't want the new emperor to do whatever he wanted. Once he slaughtered the civil officials, he would not be the next one.

In fact, Zhao Huan had long expected that Cai Jing would stand up in the end, and he also prepared for Cai Jing.

In history, Cai Jing was the leader of the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty and was one of the people who hated the most by the Song Dynasty at that time.

In the first year of Jingkang, Cai Jing was exiled by Zhao Huan and drove south with gold, silver and treasures, but no one was willing to sell him something to eat, and finally starved to death in Changsha.

Cai Jing was actually a very talented person. Unfortunately, his talents were not used on the right path to governing the country, but they were all used to please Song Huizong. For example, Daxing Granite was created by him. The entire Song Dynasty was caused by him to be resentful, and it was the same as the brainless emperor of Song Huizong.

Of course, the scholars and officials of this era would say that Cai Jing deceived Zhao Ji. Everything was Cai Jing's problem and had nothing to do with the emperor. However, in Zhao Huan's opinion, Song Huizong was also an idiot, otherwise how could Cai Jing let him do it.

Zhao Huan felt that Cai Jing's death in orthodox history was completely cheaper, and people like Cai Jing should be slapped! Then kill the nine clans to tell the world!

Cai Jing’s words have two meanings: First, you cannot kill the prime minister, and at most exiled; Second, the Supreme Emperor gave you the throne yesterday, which does not mean that the Supreme Emperor is really nothing. We are all old ministers of the Supreme Emperor. If you dare to touch us, you are just trying to oppose the Supreme Emperor. Do you think it’s too long to be the emperor for one day?

As Zhao Huan who traveled through time, of course he knew what they were thinking, otherwise so many history books and novels would have been in vain.

He said bluntly: "Does the Grand Master think I have no power to kill people? Need the Supreme Emperor to nod?"

Cai Jing had never expected the emperor to question such a straightforward manner in the court.

They did not know Zhao Huan on the first day. Zhao Huan was indecisive and had no idea when he was the crown prince.

This morning court, but I never thought of such a situation. This is not indecisive, it is clearly like Ying Zheng and Liu Che, a tyrant!

Seeing that the deterrence could not come, Cai Jing immediately came softly and pretended to be pitiful. His eyes were already blind. When he knelt like this and cried, he looked even more miserable than the beggar on the street.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of this. I am thinking about the great Song Dynasty. If Your Majesty insists on killing the prime minister today, I can only hit and die on this dragon pillar to show my loyalty to the great Song Dynasty!"

At this time, you have to admire Cai Jing's acting skills, but unfortunately he was not born in later generations. If he were born in later generations, he would definitely be the little golden man in Hollywood in the United States.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he was amused: Oh, you are going to cry, make a fuss and hang yourself!
