Chapter 130 Confrontation in the Hall

As soon as Zhao Xu came in, Su Song, Zhang Dun and others raised the scepter together and said in a deep voice: "I will join Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu sat down straight on the chair, looked at the crowd of people in the hall, paused, and said aloud: "All the Lords are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" More than seventy people shouted in unison, with a loud voice, lingering on the beams of the hall.

Among them, some people quietly glanced at the curtain on the left. Originally, there was a place where the Empress Dowager ruled behind the curtain.

Zhao Xu looked at the familiar and strange faces. Su Shi knew him. Li Qingchen had a familiar face. Others also saw him yesterday. He looked carefully and looked at Su Song, Zhang Dun and others in front of him. Then he said: "The reason why we have to hold this expanded court meeting today is that we should terminate the case of Lu Dafang at the request of Prime Minister Su Xianggong. If you have anything to say, please say it."

Many people in the hall looked at each other from left to right, and occasionally spoke out.

They had known about today's meeting content for a long time, but no one was the first to leave the list.

Zhao Xu was not in a hurry, and his eyes glanced at the court officials one by one.

——Strictly speaking, this is his first time in court and presided over a meeting.

I don’t know how long it took, but an official behind the comparison took off, blocking his head with a scepter, and said in a deep voice: “I, the left counsel of the minister of the Ministry of the Ministry, Chen Dezhi, impeached Li Qingchen…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xu interrupted him and said, "Chen Qing family, today we will discuss the case of Lu Dafang. Let's talk about other matters later."

Chen Dezhi was blocked by the words. When Zhao Xu finished speaking, hesitated and said, "Yes."

After Chen Dezhi retreated, the court officials shook their heads and looked at each other with a solemn expression.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhao Xu called out: "Ministry of Justice, let's talk about the case."

Cai Jing comes out of the list. He has a few strands of white hair on his temples and a clear horns on his face, giving people the feeling of a knight in a chivalrous interpretation, but overall he looks a bit mean.

He raised his hand and said calmly and firmly: "Return to Your Majesty, the case of Lu Dafang is clear and the evidence is detailed. Corruption and bribery are all there. The deficits of the Sansi Yamen and the reselling of military pay are mostly involved in the Lu family. Cultivating private individuals, forming cliques for personal gain, renounced sons commit crimes, occupying rural fields, beating and injuring lives, etc., all have evidence..."

Cai Jing is talking about real charges and is well documented.

All civil and military officials in the court were quiet.

They all already knew these things, after all, the city of Kaifeng was full of controversy and there was almost nothing to argue about.

The focus of debate between the government and the public now is how to deal with it!

After Cai Jing finished speaking, he quietly retreated.

Zhao Xu kept staring at the court officials, and seeing that they didn't speak, he didn't speak either.

In Zichen Palace, it was a little quiet and weird.

Su Song pondered for a moment and said, "I asked Your Majesty that Lu Dafang had any moral improperity. I suggest that I be demoted to the Secretary-General and settle in Suizhou."

This is a common routine. No matter how big the matter is, it will be demoted.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

As soon as Su Song finished speaking, more than a dozen people came out.

Zhao Xu looked over and didn't recognize most of them.

Su Shi looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and stepped out and said, "My minister Su Shi attached his opinion."

Su Shi was the leader of the literary world and the elder brother of Su Che, the commander of the Sansi. In addition to yesterday's incident, there were many people staring at him.

As soon as he left the list, he immediately attracted a lot of vague gazes and whispers.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

After Su Shi, five or six more people left the list and followed the discussion.

Zhao Xu was not surprised at all. Even if no one stood up, most of the people present were more or less supportive of Su Song's proposal.

At this time, Chen Pi walked by quietly and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official family, okay."

Zhao looked at the ministers in the hall with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, when the group of people finished speaking, Li Qingchen held up the scepter and went out and said loudly: "I will report to Your Majesty, I will object."

This is Han Qi's niece. The Han family is a top wealthy family in the Song Dynasty. This future is limitless!

Zhao Xu looked at him and nodded, "What do you mean by Li Qing's family?"

Li Qingchen raised his head, voiced Lang Jun, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the ministers after Lu Dafang do this, the court officials follow the same thing, and all officials in the world are like this. How many years can the country and country of Song last?"

After Li Qingchen finished speaking, someone immediately objected, saying, "Is this how Li Lang treating the officials of our dynasty? Can one Lu Dafang represent hundreds of thousands of officials of our dynasty?"

Li Qingchen looked back at him and said coldly: "The case of Lu Dafang involves more than 40 people with a fifth rank and above, and hundreds of them are large and small. Do you think there is only one person? There is no need to make any quibbling, I will ask you, do you dare to ask the Ministry of Justice or the Imperial City Department to check your family's assets and see if you have any property that is of unknown origin!"

The person who spoke saw Li Qingchen rushing directly, and suddenly couldn't speak a word.

How can you check it casually!

After Li Qingchen retorted him, he turned to Su Song directly, his voice was two points higher, and he said, "Su Xianggong, what do you think of the senior official?"

Su Song is the next one of Lu Dafang!

Mr. Su Song was not criticized in the officialdom, so he was speechless without saying anything. He said lightly without turning his head: "The court's freedom and laws, is Li Lang afraid that I will run away?"

Li Qingchen stared at him and said, "The officials believed that such laws were not enough to punish past mistakes and prevent future generations. The officials suggested that the court should judge the situation and understand the punishment and order the corrupt officials! Everything cannot be relied on the ethics of the ministers. If so, what should the laws and regulations be done?"

The tone is straight and aggressive.

In the hall, Li Qingchen's voice was echoing, and some people whispered and looked moved.

What Li Qingchen said... seems to make sense.

At this time, someone came out and said loudly: "I objected. I have not made any mistakes before. Everything has been successful. Is it necessary to make laws based on the character setting?"

Everyone looked at me and waited for the censor Lu Tao in the hall.

After glanced at him, many people looked at Su Shi again.

Lu Tao was a Shu faction, or Shu party. Su Shi's "Wutai Poetry Case" back then was actually the "Shuluo Party Controversy". Lu Tao was also one of the players and successfully rescued Su Shi.

Su Shi's expression was as usual, standing quietly.

When Li Qingchen heard the 'similarity of the people', he immediately retorted loudly and said, "The law of our court, and there are many people who are responsible for the people and things. Is it necessary to dig it out to rehabilitate them, abolish those ancestral laws, and discuss the gains and losses of the ancestral families?"

Use his spear to attack his shield!

Li Qingchen is a "new party". He used the ancestral method he kept saying to "old party" to fight back, which is really amazing.

Zhao Xu looked at him calmly, with more smiles in his eyes, and Li Qingchen's eloquence was sharp.

Lu Tao carried the scepter and said with a sigh: "Officer Li Lang said it was not based on the person's solution, so what do you think Lu Dafang should deal with it?"

Everyone looked at Li Qingchen. In their opinion, Li Qingchen represented Zhao Xu's attitude to some extent.

Li Qingchen naturally thought about it, but he could not speak it out. Speaking it too early would only become a target, and he turned to the court officials and said, "The subordinate officials do not agree with Su Xianggong's words. They are too perfunctory to be demoted, like a child's play. How can we explain to all officials and billions of subjects? Will the historical books of later generations rate us as birds of a feather and be in harmony?"
