Chapter 77 The long-awaited moment
So, more than 20 officials from all over Qin Bing and other political affairs hall were escorted by the imperial guards and knelt in front of the Chuigong Hall.
Several people wanted to talk to Qin Bing and asked about the situation, but they were silently glared back by Qin Bing.
He is now afraid that Zhao Xu will not find an excuse to continue to attack them, so why is he still rushing to give him a handle?
The one who kneels is honest and meticulous.
Zhao Xu kept looking at the memorial in Cining Hall, forgot about time, and only then did he look up, his expression still a little confused.
Chen Pi walked over and said, "The official family has passed the order. Lu Xiang announced his leave, and Qin Bing and his men knelt in front of the Chugong Hall. In addition, Liu Shi'an is said to be in the Lu Mansion, and the Imperial City Office dare not ask for anyone."
Zhao Xu tilted his head, woke up a little, and said, "You mean, Liu Shi'an hid in the Lv Mansion?"
Chenpi said: "Yes."
Zhao Xu thought something, what did Liu Shi'an do when he was hiding in the Lu Mansion? Also, Empress Dowager Gao will wake up soon. Shouldn't Lu Dafang be here to wait?
"What are the reactions of Su Che?" Zhao Xu thought.
Chenpi took a step forward and whispered: "The officials and villains also find it strange. Without any memorials, there are very few comments outside the palace."
Zhao Xu frowned, and things became more and more strange.
Are you planning how to save Su Zhe?
Just as he was thinking, a yellow gate quickly walked in and said not far from the door: "Report to the official family, Shangshu Liang is asking for a visit."
Zhao Xu poured a cup of tea on his own and said, "Transfer."
The yellow door at the door responded and turned around and went out.
Liang Tao hurried in, with a nervous and restrained expression. After raising his hand to salute, he said, "The official family is incompetent."
Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and looked at him and said, "Speak slowly."
Liang Tao moved his mouth and still raised his hand, hesitantly said: "Officials, I have searched all departments for raising food and grass. Dear Secretary and Minister, either slander or avoided it. Within five days, I have raised less than one million tuitions."
Zhao Xu picked up the teacup with expressionless expression on his face.
Liang Tao suddenly felt a chill rising from his back, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "I know my crime!"
Zhao Xu was drinking tea and looked cold. But he didn't really blame Liang Tao. From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Xu did not expect Liang Tao to succeed, and he also had a backup plan for the inner treasury.
The indifferent expression was because he smelled a different smell from it.
The three officials' yamen do not mention the millions of qian deficits, but just talking about the military pay on Huanqing Road, Lu Dafang and others are really indifferent and will continue to delay?
You should know that the people of Xixia have been ready to move this year. If the road to Huanqing is missing, the people of Xixia can go straight in and reach Kaifeng City!
"Have you seen Lu Dafang?" Zhao Xu's tone was neither happy nor sad.
Liang Tao knelt on the ground and said, "Before the incident in the Sansi Yamen broke out, I found it, but the prime minister didn't say anything at that time. Yesterday, I stayed in front of the Lu Mansion for a night. This morning, the gatekeeper said that Lu Xianggong was sick and did not see guests."
Zhao Xu's eyes were half-closed, suppressing his surging anger, and said, "Is there any other way besides Lu Dafang? Privy Council, Secretariat, Secretariat or others?"
Liang Tao knelt on the ground, was silent for a while, and said, "When you go back to the official family, there is no one else except the prime minister."
Zhao Xu stared at him without a moment and said coldly: "In other words, if Lu Dafang takes leave, will the government affairs of the court be paralyzed?"
Liang Tao knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and said, "Yes."
Zhao Xu held the teacup and his expression became colder.
This time, Zhao Xu had a deeper understanding of the energy of the prime minister Lu Dafang. Even without Empress Dowager Gao as a backer, Zhao Xu could not easily do anything to him!
Tangerine lowered her head and dared not speak.
Liang Tao was trembling and frightened. He had not completed the task and did not know what the officials would do about him.
Zhao Xu looked at Liang Tao and thought about too many things in his mind for a moment, but now he still has to deal with the matter of Huanqing Road. He carefully calculated and said, "Can you raise 500,000? As the Minister of Revenue, he temporarily served as the Three Sessions, so he would not have no ability at all, right?"
Liang Tao immediately said, "I can do it."
Liang Tao had already made up his mind that if he couldn't get all the money, he would pay for it out of his own pocket!
Zhao Xu nodded. If Liang Tao could not do anything, he would not need him even if there was no one.
Zhao Xu was about to say something again, a yellow gate hurried in, handed over a memorial, and said, "The official family, sent by the Secretariat."
Zhao Xu looked strange and said, "I'm going to give it to me?"
Huangmen held up the memorial and said, "Yes."
Tangerine was also an accident. After all, the memorials from the court were never given directly to the officials.
He glanced at Zhao Xu, came forward to take it, and handed it to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu took it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but tilt his head, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
This is Liu Shi'an's memorial, which reads: 'The beginning of man is the beginning of filial piety; the foundation of the country is the law of ancestors, and the same is true. The emergence of the sage decree is what the world expects, and the truth is true, and the thunder is the law...'
This can be understood as "spoken and informed" or "lecture".
The general meaning of Liu Shi'an's memorial was to accuse Zhao Xu of using the imperial guards in the palace to seize the Sansi yamen and seize the Sansi envoys from deviating from the ancestral laws, etiquette and law, and destroying the court's principles. It was not done by the saint king, and asked Zhao Xu to correct it.
'I haven't dealt with you yet, you're here to scold me!'
Zhao Xu snorted coldly in his heart, suddenly looked up at the yellow gate, and said, "Did you send it to the Secretariat?"
If the Secretariat sent it directly, it would be a clear message that would spread throughout the court and the public, and it would probably be passed on to later generations!
If this is true, this "comment of advice" would have no choice but to give him the bad reputation of being a "crazy monarch"!
If so, Liu Shian is really vicious and vicious!
Huangmendao: "Yes."
Zhao Xu suddenly felt angry in his chest, and he slapped the table suddenly. Just as he was about to shout, an imperial guard rushed in outside the door and said anxiously at the door: "The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, has woken up."
Zhao Xu's angry face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to calm. He sat on the chair with a faint look.
Liang Tao on the ground knelt lower, holding his breath, motionless.
Chenpi looked shocked and looked at Zhao Xu with her head shrank.
The Empress Dowager wakes up, what will the government do afterwards? What will the Empress Dowager react?
Zhao Xu calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and for a while, he said lightly: "Wait for grandmother to summon him."
Chen Pi listened and hurriedly said, "Official family, won't you go there immediately?"
Zhao Xu said expressionlessly, "Give my grandmother some time."
Chen Pi pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak anymore.
The yellow gate and the imperial guards quietly retreated, and there was only one Liang Tao left in the hall.
Liang Tao knelt on the ground, sweating on his head, pressing his breathing, and his intuition was about to jump out of his heart.
The main hall of Cining Hall was very quiet. Zhao Xu held the teacup and looked out the door quietly with his eyes, constantly calculating in his heart.
At this moment, he waited for a long time and was finally here!
At this point, there is no turning around. Empress Dowager Gao must withdraw the curtain and return the power!
The Song Dynasty cannot continue to be so confused. Too many things need to be changed and I can’t wait!
Chapter completed!
