Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth My Son of Heaven(1/2)
Cai Jing stared at Lu Dafang's body, his expression constantly changing, and his heart was filled with anger.
He was recalling his grievances and grievances with Lu Dafang, and that Lu Dafang must have received the news in advance and chose to commit suicide.
I wonder what consequences will be caused by committing suicide at this time?!
Cai Jing quickly calmed down, recalling the recent unsatisfaction, and every time he tried hard to win back the Sacred Heart, it was thankless. Now Lu Dafang died in his prison!
Cai Jing looked gloomy and looked resentful, and almost growled, "Does anyone else know the news?"
The minister hurriedly said, "No, no, I blocked the news as soon as possible, and now these people know."
Cai Jing's eyes twitched, and his facial features were distorted in pain. He changed his anger, but he couldn't think of any way, and said, "You guys watch here, I'll go to the palace to meet the official family."
The minister nodded repeatedly, and someone took the blame, so it would be better.
...
The killing of the prime minister and many senior officials is unprecedented!
Imperial College.
The professor who was in class suddenly rushed out when he heard the news.
The students were even more upset and talked about it.
"Gong Gong Lu... kill him and kill him?" A student was stunned and speechless.
"No, no, it's impossible. My court has never killed the prime minister, it must be fake..."
"Yes, it's because someone spreads rumors, just to attack Mr. Lu, it must be fake..."
"Your Majesty, how could you allow Lu Xianggong to beheaded and executed? This is impossible!"
They couldn't believe it, and then rushed out of the school and ran around the Imperial College.
At this time, the Imperial College had already exploded, and countless people ran around and called out, but it was still unbelievable.
Almost everyone in the restaurants, tea shops, brothels and song shops everywhere was lost, even those who were addicted to alcohol and sex for many years.
In the rented houses south of the Gongyuan, the Jinshi who were waiting for the vacant vacancies were also extremely shocked and looked at the direction of the palace in amazement.
The Lu Dafang case has been in full swing for a while, and everyone in the capital knows that it will not be good, but the "Zheng Li Jue" still exceeded their imagination and subverted their perception!
They looked at each other and were so shocked that they couldn't say it.
Zong Ze sat on the chair and looked at the herbs in front of him. He had been calculating the direction of Lu Dafang's incident and calculating possible clues, but now, these are useless!
How could he guess that Lu Dafang's final outcome would be a "killing and decisive decision"!
At the same time, the inspection department of Kaifeng Prefecture came out in full swing and deployed throughout Kaifeng Prefecture.
The other yamen were arranged by Zhang Dun and moved frequently, as if they were facing a great enemy.
There is no place in Kaifeng City that is peaceful!
At this time, Cai Jing hurried outside the Funing Hall and cautiously delivered words to the yellow door that was coming out.
When the yellow gate heard "Lu Dafang hanged himself", he was shocked and hurriedly ran inside.
In the study, Zhao Xu and Chu You made an explanation, and finally said with a smile: "There is no need to be nervous, there will be no big deal, just in case."
Chu You looked solemn, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the official family, I will go back now, and I will never let the Ma Junsi or the Infantry Department move in the slightest!"
Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Everyone said don't be so nervous. Go and relax."
"Yes." Chu You responded, his expression became more serious and he left quickly.
Seeing that Chen Pi finished speaking, he quickly walked in and whispered in front of Zhao Xu: "Official family, Cai Jing is here. He said that Lu Dafang was in prison and hanged himself."
Zhao Xu raised his left eyebrows hard, and he paused his hand to get the teacup, and then sat back slowly, with an expressionless face.
He didn't expect Lu Dafang to commit suicide, but Lu Dafang's death would inevitably cause trouble again.
Zhao Xu pondered over and over again and said lightly: "If you die, you will die. Let Cai Jing go to see Mr. Zhang."
Chenpi was a little worried and said, "Officials, don't you do anything?"
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said indifferently: "After today, we don't need to do everything for our parents."
Tangerine peel seemed to understand but she had to say, "Yes."
Chen Pi left Zhao Xu's study, and Cai Jing quickly got the message, but he looked solemn and silent.
Not only was the government handling this matter too casually, but it was also because the government did not see him!
Cai Jing felt a little regretful that he was too cautious before and lost the opportunity. Now it is difficult to win back the Sacred Heart.
He stood in front of the Funing Hall gate, hesitated for a while, but turned around and went to the green tiled house east of the Chuigong Hall.
Zhang Dun and Cai Bian in the green tiled house were busy and had to deal with Lu Dafang and other cases, to settle, end and recover; they also had to stabilize the situation and plan too much to do in the future.
Not long after, Cai Jing left the green tiled house.
Accompanying him was Zhao Si, the thirteenth brother of the Song Dynasty's official family, and Cai Bian, the political affairs officer.
Zhang Dun was in charge of the Qingtiao House and, with the support of Zhao Xu, began to whip the entire Kaifeng City and even the entire Song Dynasty.
He all transferred all three provinces, six ministries and seven temples, including Kaifeng Prefecture, the Inspection Department, the Imperial City Department, and other personnel filled the entire Kaifeng City City.
The orders from the Political Affairs Hall, the mansion report and others were sent from the palace and spread to the whole country.
In less than a stick of incense, Kaifeng City was full of notices.
‘Lu Dafang and his followers had an affair with the Xia people and betrayed the Song Dynasty’, ‘Your Majesty was furious and the Zichen Palace was executed immediately’, ‘Lu Dafang committed suicide for fear of crime’, ‘The Three Laws Publicly tried the case of Lu Dafang colluding with the enemy and selling the country’…
These notices were posted all over Kaifeng City, reversing public opinion strongly.
Inside Dali Temple.
Cai Bian sat in the main seat, Ma Yan and Cao Zheng accompanied him, and Zhao Si sat in the upper left corner.
The expressions of several people were almost always solemn and tense, waiting for the battle.
This is the trial of the prime minister. This has never happened in the Song Dynasty!
The yamen runners stood up in awe with their killing sticks. The door was crowded with people, whispering and talking.
Cai Bian did not get entangled, and adhered to the word "speed" and immediately started the trial.
The first one to be tried was naturally Lu Dafang. Although he committed suicide for fear of crime, various evidences were very detailed. Cai Bian almost spread it out, especially for the people watching outside the door, he wished to put it into each of their minds.
As the case of Lu Dafang was almost revealed, the emotions of scholars in Kaifeng City were full of twists and turns, one after another.
Before the Dali Temple was reviewed, an angry young scholar rushed into the Lu family and smashed it hard.
Some censors even wrote fiercely, saying that they were "too lenient" to punish Lu Dafang and other followers, and the wind was one-sided.
In the evening, when the Dali Temple was about to be completed, the scholars who had nowhere to vent their anger in Kaifeng City smashed the mansion of Lu Dafang and his gangsters, and even rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Funing Palace.
Zhao Xu kept staring outside and listening to reports everywhere.
Tong Guan stood in front of Zhao Xu, bent down tall and tall, and said, "There are more than 20 fires in Kaifeng City, and dozens of fights have occurred, all of which have been properly handled. Although the outside of the palace is in trouble, everything is under control. The imperial guards outside the city have no abnormal movement."
Zhao Xu held the teacup and said with a smile: "Zhang Dun, Cai Bian is still very capable..."
Tong Guan didn't dare to speak, and his eyes were full of caution.
The death of Lu Dafang triggered many chain reactions. From Cining Hall to Kaifeng City, and then outside Kaifeng City, the entire Song Dynasty would be alarmed, and the surging waves would probably come one by one.
Tong Guan couldn't guess what would happen, but the impact would definitely be very big!
Zhao Xu carries the teacup and thinks for a while, and says, "Let Chen Qi come to see me, and the Thirteenth brother will bring him here as soon as possible when he returns to the palace. In a few days, he will call Xu Jiang into the palace. By the way, Zeng Bu is sick?"
Chenpi continued, "Yes, in Heyang, it is said that he had been sleeping for more than a day before he woke up."
Zhao Xu nodded gently. Zeng Bu was almost 60 years old and was anxious to rush to go, so it was normal for him to have some illness.
Zhao Xu looked at the direction of Cining Palace again, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm going to be busy next."
Zhao Xu was really busy next time.
Continuously receive court officials, princes and nobles, promote, reward and appease the chaotic hearts of the people.
On the third day, the three legal departments general Lu Dafang's party members, a total of 11 people, and the onlookers applauded.
And the government and the country were even more boiling.
There are as many as dozens of memorials impeached by Yang Wei a day. Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Cai Jing and others could not escape, and many censors even attacked Zhang Tuan and were furious.
In addition, the memorials of impeachment of Su Song suddenly increased and their words were very fierce, which made him a "flying fish of Lu Dafang's party members".
With the release of various news and the release of the imperial palace, Luzhou Prefecture outside the capital, etc., also wrote letters.
Before the time to close the case in five days, the government and the country are already in chaos.
The fourth day is early May.
Zhao Xu practiced with the imperial guard Cuju, and was sweating all over and comfortable.
After the end, Zhao Xu sat on the steps, wiping his sweat, drinking herbal tea, and listening to the report of tangerine peel.
"Officials, the case of Lu Dafang is basically concluded, and the discussion is endless. The people Zhang Xianggong wants to recall are basically all, and they have already taken office, just waiting for the trial of the Political Affairs Hall. 60% of the military funds on Huanqing Road are raising 60%, and Zhang Xianggong is arranging escorts. The house search of Lu Dafang's followers is still counting, and the amount will be very... huge..."
