Chapter 847 They are mother and son! So are we!(1/2)
After a brief excitement, the three priests returned rationally and then responded immediately.
"Empress!" Pu Zongmeng reacted first and bowed directly: "I was the kindness of the late emperor, and I was also given the Empress. Your Majesty is very kind and promoted to be the right prime minister. He has already made a vow to serve the country! If there are those traitors, even if I am broken into pieces, my conspiracy will not succeed!"
Li Qingchen immediately said in a deep voice: "Majesty, please feel at ease!"
"I am in charge of the Western Prefecture, and the internal and external military talismans are all in my hands. In addition to the three generals and escorts, they are all from the Western Prefecture. Their personal lists are all in the Privy Council!"
As he said that, he raised his head: "After I go back, I will immediately urge the Western Palace to check the list of generals and subordinates in Beijing, report to him, and transfer all suspected people from the capital first!"
As for who is the ‘suspected’ person?
Li Qingchen didn't say it, but the fool knew who he was referring to?
It is nothing more than a person sent by a prince, counselor, or a person in the family who has connections with that prince.
Clean everything from the inside out.
As long as there is any connection, no matter the reason, you will be transferred from Bianjing first to relieve the hidden dangers.
The civil officials of the Song Dynasty were familiar with this kind of thing.
Because it's not the first time they've done this kind of thing.
They also previewed countless times early.
There is no way. Until the Five Dynasties, mutinies have been hanging above the heads of the imperial court.
Civil officials who can reach the level of priest must have experienced at least one mutiny.
How to control the army and how to control the crisis, eliminate the danger in its bud, and everyone is clear.
Zeng Bu followed Li Qingchen and said, "I reported to the Empress, I have received the order from Your Majesty and supervised the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to verify the case of clerks in the government's territory injuring the people..."
"After I go back, I will go to Dali Temple to sit in the yamen, and work with the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Prefecture to examine the cases together!"
As he said that, he became murderous: "But please rest assured!"
"If there is a traitor, he will be indiscreet..."
"I will definitely be able to examine it!"
Zeng Bu is confident at this moment.
After the Xining reform, the ministers of the new party generally mastered some torture methods and then began to innovate in the intra-volume.
So as long as the relevant criminal goes to the prison of Dali Temple, even if their mouths are slapped, Zeng Bu believes that he can pry it open and let them explain it obediently!
Listening to the statements of the three priests, Empress Dowager Xiang behind the curtain stopped choking and said softly: "So... I and my sixth brother, please ask the three husbands!"
The three prime ministers immediately bowed their heads: "I swear to serve Your Majesty to the death and the Empress!"
Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the bedding, remained silent throughout the whole process.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Sure enough... all women are actors!"
For two lives, Empress Dowager Xiang has always given Zhao Xu the impression that he does not fight or rob, tolerate concessions, and does not love authority.
but……
She is not a simple character on the surface.
"Yes..." Zhao Xu remembered the scenes of Empress Dowager Xiang competing with Empress Dowager in Funing Hall after his father was seriously ill.
"In my previous life, I did not establish a mother-son relationship with my mother and queen... Therefore, she just fought for my position as crown prince, and after she saved herself, she quietly left the market... Her next move was after my death..." Zhao Xu murmured in his heart.
That time, modern historical books were vague.
However, the result was that for seven years, the powerful prime minister Zhang Dun was subdued in an instant even if he joined forces with Liang Congzheng, who was known as the inner minister.
Zhang Dun was demoted, Liang Chengzheng was exiled to death.
Accurate, fast, direct!
Zhao Xu could even imagine that Zhang Dun and Liang Chengzheng should have been controlled at that time.
Otherwise, how could it be so simple to kill the prime minister and the inner minister together?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu remembered the various actions of Empress Dowager Xiang in this life.
Looking at the present, Empress Dowager Xiang cried behind the curtain.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh: "The best is like water, and water benefits all things without competing!"
"My mother has already obtained the true meaning of Huang Lao Taoism!"
...
He sent away the three priests, and Empress Dowager Xiang led Zhao Xu back to Baoci Palace.
Then she took Zhao Xu to Qingshou Palace and reported to the Empress Dowager that the clerks in the palace were united in confrontation against the court and the emperor. At the same time, she suspected that there might be a "traitor" who connected and organized clerks to fight against the court.
After hearing the Empress Dowager’s report, the Empress Dowager was also shocked. After being shocked, she felt guilty.
Because she has a ghost in her heart!
Because there may really be someone who intends to "conspire against".
So she let out a sigh, looked at Empress Dowager Xiang, and said, "The Empress Dowager... Now, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the world is peaceful... The government is even more loyal to the inside and outside, and is supported by the world... Someone is planning a rebellion? Is it impossible?!"
Empress Dowager Xiang just looked at the Empress Dowager quietly and said, "Empress... The bride remembers that when he was in Ren Temple, there were imperial guards who caused chaos... and there were also thieves who lied to be the son of Ren Temple..."
"During the late emperor, the case of a royal family living in the past was even more involved..."
"When Ren Temple, when the late emperor, there were still rioters and thieves who intended to subvert the country, let alone now?"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Empress Dowager: "Besides, the sixth brother is underage, and the country is suspicious. The bride thinks that it is impossible to be cautious for the sake of the country and the country!"
"Beggar beg for a clarity!"
Zhao Xu also said, "Please check with the grandmother!"
The Empress Dowager looked at the tacit cooperation between the mother and son, and was silent for a long time before saying, "What the Empress Dowager is worried about!"
"It's time to check it out!"
only……
Can't really find out something!
Especially, you cannot check forward and find out the things that happened in the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
So, she thought for a while and said, "But, since Xining, the court has been trained to prison many times... I may have torture and forced confession..."
"In the case of rebellion in the life of the people, some people intend to falsely abdicate the prince of the country and alienate the family affection..."
Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager Xiang and said, "It's better to do this. The Empress Dowager and Laos both chose an instructor to go to Dali Temple to supervise in case of Si Pan's false accusation?"
Empress Dowager Xiang naturally knew what the Empress Dowager said, "Someone who falsely accused the prince of the country in the case of Zhao Shiju's rebellion"?
It is Liu Yu, a medical officer who was lingchied in the case of Zhao Shiju.
This person was once a fool in Prince Yang's Mansion.
Therefore, the late emperor once used the subject to play and criticized King Yang, forcing King Yang to write a letter to ask for his own request to leave the palace.
Queen Mother Xiang remembers it very clearly.
At that time, her husband was very happy and said to her: My worries will be eliminated from now on!
Therefore, on the seventh day after King Yang asked to leave the palace, the case of Zhao Shiju was closed.
However……
But King Yang still stayed in the palace!
Because, the Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager, has intervened and kept King Yang in the palace!
So...
Xiang Hun nodded and said, "What the Empress said is very true!"
It can't be, it's really a dispute between the two palaces, or even a scandal of the Tian family's flesh and blood tragedy?
In that case, how should people in the world view the Song Dynasty?
Fu Wei's Holy Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. If even filial piety is lost, wouldn't the Zhao family be even worse than the Sima family?
This is also the reason why the late emperor was unable to force King Yang to leave the palace.
It is also the reason why she cannot break up with Qingshou Palace.
Do not make any public appearances!
Of course, if it really threatens the safety of her and her children.
Empress Dowager Xiang will not sit still and wait for death.
...
After leaving Qingshou Palace and returning to Baoci Palace, Empress Dowager Xiang led Zhao Xu to her inner bedroom and sat on the collapse.
"Brother Six..." She held Zhao Xu's hand and sobbed gently.
"What's wrong with the mother?" Zhao Xu held the Queen Mother Xiang's hand in both hands and asked with concern: "Why are you crying again?"
To be continued...
