Chapter 221 Degraded to a commoner
Mr. Su Song was also a good person in the officialdom. He contacted the court in an instant and vaguely guessed Zhao Xu's intention, but he was still deeply silent.
Zhao Ji is indeed a child, but the current political situation is not.
The Song Dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years. Not to mention the age of twilight, at least in its prime. What should I do if I make a mistake in my prime?
The mistake in my prime comes from the accumulation of time and has already invaded the bone marrow over the years and cannot be cured without major medicine.
But just like Zhao Ji, if he was twenty years old, what could the court deal with him? It was nothing more than a punishment for his salary and exile.
In the Song Dynasty, even officials could not be killed or imprisoned, they could only be exiled, let alone relatives of the royal family and younger brothers of the official family!
Su Song pondered for a long time and said, "Officials, big mistakes and big punishments, small mistakes and small punishments. Be based on your eyes and don't look back on the past."
He was sloppy and did not discuss the specific matters, but just "just talk about the matter" and said, "Don't go back to the past."
Zhao Xu did not argue with him, turned to look at Zhao Ji. Seeing that he was still yelling arrogantly, his eyes slowly narrowed, his heart turned, and he slowly said lightly: "If I suddenly die, what if Zhao Ji succeeds to the throne?"
After this sentence fell, the expressions of the people around Zhao Xu changed suddenly, and the needles could be heard!
Cai You's face was pale, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and his head was covered in cold sweat.
Chenpi, Hu Zhongwei and others were even more tense, and they didn't dare to breathe. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xu in horror.
Su Song's heart was even more shocked. Looking at Zhao Xu, he couldn't speak for a moment.
The official family in front of me is only eighteen years old, and when I was young, how could it be that I suddenly died?
But since he said that he was "death", it means that the matter is extraordinary!
Su Song suppressed the panic in his heart and thought quickly.
If, if, if... the official family in front of him suddenly died, the eleventh brother, the prince of Suining Zhao Ji, succeeded to the throne, and the ten-year-old Zhao Ji, could he suppress the court in front of him?
Su Song had already seen chaos in front of him, with party struggles everywhere, treacherous slandering, various chaos arose, and even a major defeat on the border, Kaifeng was in crisis!
His thoughts turned very quickly and returned to his eyes quickly.
In front of him, Zhao Ji pinched his waist and cursed at Zhu Qianzhen. Zhu Qianzhen had a green face and dared not speak out, but there were shadows around him, and countless people were hidden.
This seems to be some kind of foreshadowing.
Su Song understands.
Su Song straightened his face and said in a calm tone: "The official family, what are you planning to deal with the Prince of Suining?"
Zhao Xu glanced at Su Song, then glanced at Cai You, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said indifferently: "Cai You, your father is here too, but he did not show up. Do you know why?"
Cai You appeared here to settle Zhao Ji's affairs. Zhao Ji called out his name repeatedly. In addition, Zhao Xu's words just now, "Die and Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne", Cai You was sweating coldly now, and he was extremely frightened, so he could still think, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know."
Zhao Xu raised his hands behind his back, glanced at the rooms on both sides, and suddenly laughed, saying, "Because I have thoughts, I have secrets."
If it weren't for normal times, Cai You might have understood that he was knocking on the ground now and didn't know how to react for a while.
Zhao Xu didn't expect him to answer, saying, "I hope you don't be like your father."
Cai You suddenly understood, and kowtowed repeatedly, kowtowed all the blue bricks on the ground, and said anxiously: "I know the crime! I will definitely not dare to deceive the officials in the future!"
Cai Jing did come, and was on the second floor of a teahouse not far behind Zhao Xu and others, looking quietly through the gap in the window.
Seeing Cai You kowtowing on the ground, his mean face twitched.
‘I hope this rebellious son won’t touch me.’ he whispered in his heart.
Zhao Xu ignored Cai You who had been kowtowing repeatedly, looked at Zhao Ji, and said, "Everyone comes with me."
As he said that, he walked straight towards Zhao Ji.
Tangerine peel, Su Song immediately followed, Cai You was covered in blood, and quickly got up and followed Zhao Xu.
There were people hidden around him. When Zhao Xu walked over, hesitated.
Cai Jing hesitated for a while, but he did not show up after all.
The imperial guards pulled open the crowd and escorted Zhao Xu into the "circle" controlled by the inspection department.
The first person to see Zhao Xu was Zhao Si. He was so scared that he almost fell off the carriage. He stared at Zhao Xu intently, his body stiffened, and subconsciously reached out to grab Zhao Ji's clothes.
Zhao Ji was so angry that he opened his hand and said angrily: "If you don't help me, just let it go, why are you pulling me..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed the silence around him. He turned to look and immediately saw Zhao Xu walking into the 'circle' under the escort of a group of people.
His angry face suddenly disappeared. He blinked, suddenly jumped out of the carriage, turned around and ran away.
Other imperial guards and inspection departments, who knew Zhao Xu, had their faces changed and saluted: "See the official family (Your Majesty)!"
Zhu Qianzhen looked at Zhao Xu, and it seemed familiar. He remembered that he had entered the palace many years ago to attend a banquet and met a young man standing next to Concubine Zhu. The outline was very similar to the young man who was a little taller than him in front of him.
Zhu Qianzhen woke up quickly and knelt down and said, "The grass man Zhu Qianzhen met the official family."
The people around him reacted and knelt in surprise and horror.
In fact, it attracted the emperor!
Zhao Xu stood up expressionlessly, looked at Zhu Qianzhen, and then saw Zhao Ji being caught by the imperial guards.
Zhao Ji had his little face tense and his neck stubborn expression, and his expression was very stubborn.
Zhao Si got off the carriage now and stood honestly in front of Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at them, swept around again, and said, "Zhao Ji, what should I do to deal with you?"
Zhao Ji stood in front of Zhao Xu, feeling unwilling and fearful. He glanced at Zhu Qianzhen, grinded his teeth, and whispered in a low voice: "I know I was wrong."
Chen Pi dared not speak, lowered her head, thinking in her heart what Zhao Xu would do.
In the public eye, it is not appropriate to be light or heavy.
Su Song had a calm face and was observing Zhao Xu.
The incident of Zhao Ji reflects the current dynasty. How to deal with Zhao Ji means how Zhao Xu should deal with the current political affairs.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Ji, a ten-year-old bastard, with a craftsmanship and a clever body.
In Zhao Xu's eyes, this little bastard grew up quickly and vaguely saw the embarrassing scene of the Jin people heading south more than 20 years later, Zhao Ji fled in a panic with tens of millions of money, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers and half of the Song Dynasty.
Then, he thought of Zhao Ji's two sons, one was Song Qinzong and the other was Song Gaozong. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one by one!
As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu definitely did not allow such a situation to happen again!
His eyes were cold and his face was hard, and he said lightly: "Issuing an order to seize all titles, official positions, salary, and rewards in the palace."
Chenpi was shocked. Such punishment was no longer enough to describe it!
Su Song's old face was tense and his heart felt like he was hit hard.
This punishment is indeed not enough to be described as severity. Zhao Ji was only ten years old, and he humiliated people on the street and did not kill and set fire. He was demoted to a commoner, which was extremely severity!
In terms of government affairs, the government must unswervingly implement the new law. The favored younger brothers can handle such decisive measures, let alone political affairs!
