Chapter 365: Shock
(One more!) )
Since Emperor Chongde gave such an order, Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong and others naturally complied. They also knew that the temporary seclusion of Empress Xie was the bottom line acceptable to the emperor.
Since the emperor has already made a decision on the matter of dealing with the demon of the dead country, then the hearts of the people outside the palace, as courtiers, of course have to share the worries and solve problems for the monarch. In fact, before entering the palace, Zheng Shiyong had already thought about what to do.
The people's minds are in such a mess, the momentum is so huge, and there is no one behind it, it is almost impossible. There must be some thorns among the people, and it is these thorns that guide the people's hearts, and as long as these thorns are found, things will be easy.
If these thorns are unwilling to cooperate, then he doesn't mind letting them know the methods of the imperial court. - Zheng Shiyong thought like this, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes.
He was able to put the turbulent Taiyuan Mansion in order, not only by softening policies. A civil official like him, who has come up step by step, really knows too well when to be soft and when to use thunder.
As he expected, the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers found several thorns. These people usually do not do their jobs, and when the people are in turmoil, they hide in the middle and shout the most. Such people are indispensable at all times.
Zheng Shiyong listened to the advice of the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, but did not arrest them immediately, but ordered the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers to take a closer look at who was behind these thorns.
Lin Shiqian was dead, Shao Yin Gengjie was ill again, and the imperial court did not have time to appoint new officials, and the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion temporarily fell into the hands of Zheng Shiyong.
Hearing Zheng Shiyong's order, the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion received the order. It didn't take long to figure out where the thorns were going. It's just that under layers of investigation, the results obtained are difficult for them.
These thorns are eventually linked to two places. One is to have contact with the Zhang family, the head of the household, and the other is related to Lin Shiqian's family. It is obvious that it is the crown prince and the second prince who are driving the hearts of the people behind the scenes.
It turned out that the crown prince and the second prince both wanted to deal with the queen. It's just that I don't know who came up with the saying "one word and one inch, after the death of the country".
After Zheng Shiyong knew about this connection, he didn't think much about it. just did a very simple thing: caught all these thorns to the Jingzhao Mansion. Then Xie Deng of the East Palace and Shi Linliang, the chief of the Second Prince's Mansion, were invited to the Jingzhao Mansion.
After Xie Deng and Lin Liang came to the Jingzhao Mansion, when they saw those thorns, their faces were not very good-looking, but they were not much afraid. None of them had direct contact with these thorns. Other words. There won't be any evidence in Jingzhao Mansion.
Especially Sheden. He has made up his mind, no matter what Zheng Shiyong says, he will deny it. Because he knew that his master must deal with Queen Xie and the Xie family.
One word, the queen of the demon of the country. How could Zhu Xuanming let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? The disposition of imprisoning Queen Xie is still too light in Zhu Xuanming's opinion. What he wants is the queen of abolition! - In this way, Concubine Shu has a chance.
However, Zheng Shiyong didn't talk nonsense with them much, but just said: "I invited the two of you to come, I want to ask the two of you to pass on a few words." This time, the official must be calmed down, if anyone stops it, the government hall will be the enemy, and the official will never stop for a day in power. ”
His words were said lightly, and he didn't even exert the slightest coercion, but they made Xie Deng and Lin Liang's faces change in shock. This is a threat, a bright threat, a threat that even the East Palace and the Second Prince's Mansion have to accept.
Zheng Shiyong represents not only the left servant from the second grade Shangshu, he expresses the political affairs hall. And the political hall of the three provinces and one official system represents the civil and military officials, and the political officials of the world, even the emperor cannot ignore it. How dare the crown prince and the second prince oppose him?
Xie Deng didn't expect Zheng Shiyong's attitude to be so tough, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thought for a while, and then returned: "If you say something, keep in mind the lower officials." The lower officials will convey this. ”
It is self-evident to whom it is relayed. Even if Xie Deng knew the prince's thoughts, he had to compromise at this time. The crown prince, after all, is not the emperor yet, there are too many opportunities to need the political hall in the future, how can he be the enemy of the political hall?
Xie Deng said this, and Lin Liang had nothing to say. The two men came full of opposition, and at this time they departed very obediently.
As for these thorns, after seeing Xie Deng and Lin Liang obediently leaving, they didn't even dare to breathe. As a thorn, the reason why they dare to make trouble is because they have the support of the East Palace and the Second Prince's Mansion, and now that there is nothing, what else can they do?
Zheng Shiyong was also kind, smiled and said: "Give you two days, how the people's hearts rise, how to press the official." Otherwise, there are still many prisoners in Jingzhao Prison. ”
These thorns listened to this order, and left in a hurry, to do what Zheng Shiyong ordered.
Zheng Shiyong knows that when the people's hearts have reached this point, it is not enough to calm them down by just thorns. At the same time as the stabbing action, he also took the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and the tiger army borrowed from Zichen Palace, and went directly to the streets where the people were making trouble.
He didn't need to say anything, just the murderous soldier displayed in front of the people was already a statement.
Seeing the soldiers holding long knives, the boiling people seemed to be doused with a bucket of ice water, and they came to their senses in an instant. It was only then that they realized what they were doing, public grievances, turmoil...... These soldiers are not vegetarians, they will shoot!
Then they were afraid, and everybody would be frightened in the face of absolute force. Moreover, the natural fear of the court and soldiers made them dare not act rashly.
After enough shock, Zheng Shiyong began to be soft, he glanced around at the people, and said: "The vision of Jingzhao's appearance, the imperial court has found out that it was the enemy country's meticulous behavior, are you like this, do you want to help the enemy country deal with the imperial court?" ”
The enemy country was meticulous, and it was the first time that the people heard of this practice, and they all fell silent for a while. As the people of Dading, of course, they will not help the enemy country. Could it be that the statement of the demon who died is really a trick of the enemy country?
Zheng Shiyong continued: "The emperor is as kind as a stream and loves the people as a son, and if you have what you want, the emperor will also consider it as appropriate. Feeling that she had become the target of the enemy's plot, the queen had asked the Buddha to pay homage to the Buddha for a year to settle the matter. Get out of here! That's the end of the matter......"
Zheng Shiyong knows very well that most of these people will do these things when their blood is on the rise. The matter of the demon who died was originally a struggle for power by the royal family, but it involved so many people. What do they know?
It's better to settle down as soon as possible.
