Chapter 97: The traitor has a way~)
Before the imperial edict hall, the first stop of Chenpi was to go to Cining Hall.
After listening to Chen Pi's words, Empress Dowager Gao sat on the chair, looking at him quietly without expression.
Chenpi has always been afraid of Empress Dowager Gao. Now she is uneasy, her scalp is numb, and she is worried.
Zhou He was even more afraid than Chenpi: How could the official move such a big move? I was afraid that he was forced to be forced by those outsiders!
Empress Dowager Gao was quiet for a long time and said lightly: "I understand, go."
"The villain took his leave."
Chen Piru received a general amnesty and turned around and almost trotted out of the Cining Hall.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at his back without a trace of expression.
Zhou He lowered his head, shivering, and dared not say a word.
The Political Affairs Hall, who received the order, quickly spread the news.
Su Song sat in the Privy Council. When he heard the news, he sighed and shook his head silently.
The one who received the news again was Lu Dafang. He sat on the chair, moved his hands suddenly, closed his sleeves, and his expression that had always been silent showed a hint of determination.
Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren also have their own emotions.
The well-informed people in Kaifeng City were even more shocked and anxious.
Ma Yan, Huang Shan, Han Zongdao and others gathered together, and could only sigh inwardly, unable to hide even if they wanted to.
Liang Tao and others gathered together to plot, as if they were going to cause trouble in the court.
As Zhao Xu continued to emerge and declared his status in the Song Dynasty, the faction of the officials in the court became increasingly clear.
In Funing Hall.
Zhao Xu sat in the study, and Zhao Ji sat not far away, holding a pen, practicing calligraphy with a bitter face.
Zhao Xu looked at the information seriously, held a pen, and kept making records.
I don’t know how long it took, Chen Pi came in from outside and whispered: “The Empress Dowager summoned Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Su and the Second Grandpa Fan.”
Zhao Xu didn't raise his head and said, "What about the others?"
Chen Pi was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "No more."
Zhao Xu said oh, and continued to watch.
Chen Pi quickly reacted and said, "The villain will send a message to the Palace Front Office and ask Nan Tianyou and Cai You to investigate carefully!"
Zhao Xu said: "The one outside is not important. The one I appointed yesterday, Hu Zhongwei, ordered him to guard Xuande Gate. Without my own words, no one is allowed to put them in."
Tangerine Pi looked tight and leaned closer, and whispered: "Official family, are you worried about the palace?"
Zhao Xu touched his nose with his index finger with his left hand and said, "Just be careful, let Liu Heng adjust the palace ban again. Let the Imperial City Department keep a close eye on the other three yamen, and be more cautious in the food, housing and transportation in the palace."
Chenpi lowered her head, her body trembled slightly, and said quickly: "Yes, the villain is going now!"
Chen Pi knew that Empress Dowager Xiang had harmed Zhao Xu once before, and the palace was not peaceful!
As soon as Chenpi left, Zhao Ji brought the paper and walked over and said, "Official family, it's been written."
Zhao Xu didn't look at it and said, "I'll stay in the yard tomorrow, don't come out."
Before Zhao Xu's words were finished, Zhao Ji threw away the paper and turned around and ran away, as if he was cheering.
Zhao Xu had no time to pay attention to him and continued to look at the information in his hand.
Until it was getting dark, Chenpi brought in the soup and said, "Official family, it's late, let's take a break."
Zhao Xu nodded casually and said, "The Ming people asked the people from the Imperial City Department to wait outside the Zichen Hall."
Chenpi thought a lot in an instant, and her face became tense and she bent to respond.
At the same time, Cai Mansion.
Cai Jing and Yang Wei were in a dark room, not holding lights and whispering.
Not long after, the two came out and left Cai's mansion separately.
In less than a stick of incense, a shocking news suddenly broke out in Kaifeng City: The Empress Dowager did not hide it from the current official family and was about to be deposed.
These rumors cover Meng Yuan returned to Beijing to continue to serve as the capital of the infantry yamen, and the Privy Council was dispatching troops and generals. On the way back to Beijing, King Zhao Hao of Yan secretly summoned Lu Dafang, Su Song and other ministers of the current dynasty. The logic was very rigorous, and it was very reasonable at first glance.
In Kaifeng City, Zhao Xu's series of actions were already in chaos, and this news suddenly broke out. Countless people were shocked and vaguely felt that this was true!
That night, Lu Dafang, Su Song, Fan Bailu, Fan Chunren and the residences of senior officials at all levels were broken into pieces.
But these people were closed down and saw no one, which made the news even more rampant and spread more and more intensely, as if it was true!
"No! Definitely no!"
Someone throws a cup and roars in the mansion. The matter of abolishing a building is an indescribable taboo!
"This is a plot to rebel, a usurpation of the throne! I will never agree!"
Someone rushed out of the door and didn't know where to go.
"The ruler, minister, father and son, how can the ministers abolish the ruler? Lu Dafang, if you dare to do anything, I will fight with you!"
Someone stood at the door of Lu Dafang's house and shouted loudly.
Lu Dafang and others did not respond, and the Empress Dowager Gao in the palace was not at peace. Some princes and princes entered the palace one after another and persuaded Empress Dowager Gao with great sincerity.
Even though Empress Dowager Gao didn't have such an idea, it was just a "delay" in everyone's opinion. She insisted on giving her a correct word, otherwise she would not leave.
Because of this news, the government and the country were in an uproar inside and outside the palace.
Zhao Xu was about to go to bed, but was disturbed by the rumors. She sat on the bed and looked at the tangerine peel with a little surprised look.
Chenpi looked puzzled and said in confusion: "Officials, this is not what we did. Who would it be? Liang Shangshu and others? It shouldn't be that they dare not do anything like this big thing."
It is impossible for ordinary people to spread rumors like "de-li" without enough courage.
Zhao Xu was not sure, but although this method was very useful, he was no longer despised.
"By the way, when will Zhang Dun and others arrive?" Zhao Xu suddenly said. Tomorrow, there must be many people following Lu Dafang. He needs enough people to fill in, so that the court cannot really stop.
Chen Pi kept staring at this matter and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Zhang was on his way to Beijing to report his work. According to the distance and the official urging, hurry up and you should arrive in two or three days."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "I guess those husbands are feeling very uncomfortable now. You go and let the imperial chef make a bowl of ginseng soup for them."
‘Ginseng soup?’
Chenpi was just stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, saying, "Yes, the villain will go now."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Go, I'll sleep for a while."
Zhao Xu lay down and regained his energy.
Chenpi ordered the imperial chef to make ginseng soup and gave it to Lu Dafang, Su Song, Fan Bailu and others.
These couples stared at this bowl of sudden "ginseng soup". They could understand the meaning of it, so they had their own ideas.
It was really lively inside and outside the palace, and almost no one was sleeping.
After finally reaching the time when it was time to go to court, most people were still wearing official uniforms at home, preparing, and the heavy drum sounds shocked the inside and outside of the Song Dynasty imperial city.
——Someone is beating the drum!
The rule of the Dengwen Drum is that as long as it is ringed, the censor and the guards on duty must bring people to the front of the imperial court. Any slowness, impediment, etc. will be punished with the extreme punishment!
At this severe moment when people were already panic, they suddenly heard the sound of drums, which was naturally frightening, but the knocking made people feel chilled and their whole body tremble - Su Che's son, Su Chi!
Also, Su Chi shouted: "My father was killed in the Ministry of Justice, the murderer was free from justice and stood in the court, and the court was unfair!"
As soon as Su Chi said this, he almost got his name!
Chapter completed!
