Chapter 67: Drinking and scolding
Empress Dowager Gao stared at Zhao Xu sharply for a long time, and saw that Zhao Xu really didn't have the slightest intention of flinching, so she stretched out her hand, opened the paper bag, and pulled out the pages inside.
Empress Dowager Gao looked down, and not long after, her face was full of shock, and she looked up at Zhao Xu and said, "These are all true?" ”
Zhao Xu sat down directly next to the Empress Dowager Gao, looked at Su Zhe who was gagged, Su Song who was silent, Liang Tao who was trembling, and Lu Dafang, who was sitting on the chair and not moving, and said, "Loosen Su Zhe's bonds." Grandmother, everyone is there. Jae Zhi is also here, you can ask for yourself. ”
Without waiting for Empress Dowager Gao's reaction, Su Zhe, who was untied and took the gag rag, knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted at Empress Dowager Gao: "Empress Dowager! My Great Song Dynasty has never treated the official family of the prime minister like this! Now it spreads all over Kaifeng and all over the world! What do people in the world think of the official family! What do the people of the world think of my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! How can I have the face of the Great Song Dynasty?! Where's the system?! The Empress Dowager, the law of the ancestors is lawless, the world is centrifuged, disaster is coming, and the society is in danger! Today, Su Zhe has no shame to see the Empress Dowager, and even more shame to see the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
As he spoke, Su Zhe's face was full of fierceness, and he suddenly stood up and was about to crash into the pillar not far away!
Chu You has been staring at Su Zhe, and when Su Zhe said 'Death Mingzhi', he was very vigilant, Su Zhe was pulled by Chu You as soon as he moved, and he pressed him to the ground with a backhand.
Several guards were startled, and hurriedly came over and pressed Su Zhe to death.
Su Zhe struggled on the ground, put his face on the ground, and shouted angrily: "The official family humiliates his subordinates so much, why don't they let the ministers die, is it possible that the subordinates Ling Chi will be executed to relieve their hatred?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao looked at the contents of these papers in her hand, shocked beyond measure, and then listened to Su Zhe to live or die, her face turned blue for a while, she breathed quickly with anger, and she couldn't say a word.
Su Song and Lu Dafang were also shocked by Su Zhe's fierce reaction.
Zhao Xu listened, became angry, stood up, strode in front of Su Zhe, faced half of his face, and scolded angrily: "I humiliated you? What did I humiliate you? Humiliating you for being immoral, incompetent, and unsightly? The three divisions of the yamen are rampant with corruption, with a deficit of millions every year, and the military salary on Huanqing Road has been delayed for half a year, and millions of people have been corrupted, deducted, and resold by you, ignoring the security of the frontier! It's good now, I've humiliated you! You tell me, where is the humiliation? Thou shalt make thy will clear with thy death, and thou knowest thou knowest where thou wilt put me in this dying. What do people in the world think of me? Are you the way of a courtier? Are you loyal to the monarchy? What kind of loyal man are you! What kind of country! Who taught you! ”
Zhao Xu suppressed his anger, and in the midst of scolding, he couldn't help but raise his foot and kicked Su Zhe fiercely.
Seeing Zhao Xu so out of shape, the Empress Dowager Gao listened to his roar, her eyes were also open angrily, her face was full of iron, and her body couldn't help trembling.
Lu Dafang's eyes widened, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Zhao Xu, his expression gradually solemn.
Su Song stood aside, and the old man was strained at this moment, looking at the ground in front of him.
Zhou He was even more frightened, lowered his head, trembling all over, he wanted to block his ears very much, he didn't dare to listen, he didn't dare to look.
Su Zhe, who was beaten and scolded by Zhao Xu, endured severe pain and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the exit was a muffled sound of pain - he couldn't find a way to refute.
Zhao Xu kicked for an unknown amount of time, vented a lot of the anger in his heart, turned to Su Song, and said, "Prime minister, tell your grandmother which of the things in this is made up by me." Let's see if I have humiliated the three envoys! ”
Su Song looked up at Zhao Xu, the corners of his mouth twitched secretly, raised his hand to the Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "The minister knows some, but he also doesn't know a little." ”
Old slippery head!
Zhao Xu snorted secretly, turned to Lu Dafang, who was still sitting, and said, "Zaifu, you come." ”
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were like a sword, and she stared at Lu Dafang.
She entrusted political affairs to the three ministers, but she didn't know that every year, millions, or even tens of millions of treasury money and grain were embezzled, deducted, and even military salaries were embezzled and resold!
Lu Dafang slowly got up and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, his voice was as hoarse and calm as ever, with inexplicable confidence, and said, "The minister hasn't seen the things inside." ”
Empress Dowager Gao pressed her hands on the table, as if she was about to stand up, her eyes were round, and she said coldly: "The military salary of Huanqing Road...... Is it true? ”
Lu Dafang and Empress Dowager Gao looked at each other, from the expression and tone of Empress Dowager Gao, although he had not read the contents of the two paper bags, he had roughly guessed in his heart, was silent for a moment, and said, "There is no conclusion yet." ”
Empress Dowager Gao knew that the military salary on Huanqing Road had 'disappeared', and the report given to her by the Political Affairs Hall was 'suspicion of rebel looting', but she didn't know that it was done by the Sansi Yamen and the people in Huanqing Road, and she didn't know that the arrears of Huanqing Road were already so serious, but she knew that the Xia Kingdom was about to move, and war might break out on Huanqing Road at any time!
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes widened, her face was pale, she gritted her teeth, and her body shook violently uncontrollably.
Zhou He was panicked when he saw it, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Niangniang......"
Su Song also woke up in shock, staring at the Empress Dowager Gao, unprecedentedly nervous.
Zhao Xu looked at it, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Grandmother, dissipate your anger, Zhou He, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”
Before Zhao Xu's words fell, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly softened and fell backwards.
Zhou He was shocked, and while running forward, he said urgently: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!" ”
The originally solemn Cining Hall suddenly became chaotic.
Zhao Xu stepped forward and supported Empress Dowager Gao, only to see that her face was pale, her whole body was still trembling uncontrollably, and the muscles on her face twitched one by one.
Zhou He rushed over, and the six gods were in a hurry.
Su Song and Lu Dafang all stepped forward, the two frowned, stared at the Empress Dowager Gao, did not make a sound, their expressions were different, and looked at Zhao Xu, who was supporting the Empress Dowager Gao, silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Quick, carry Grandmother to the dormitory."
Zhao Xu couldn't wake up the Empress Dowager Gao, and when he saw her face full of pain, he shouted to Zhou He.
Zhou He was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”
Zhao Xu and Zhou He worked together to carry Empress Dowager Gao back to the palace.
Lu Dafang and Su Song wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Chu You and said: "The two prime ministers, without the will of the official family, are not allowed to move." ”
Lu Dafang raised his head, his face expressionless, his eyes pressing.
Su Song looked at the side door of the dormitory, a touch of condensation appeared on his thin face, and said, "Wait." ”
Lu Dafang turned to him and said, "Aren't you worried?" ”
The meaning of Lu Dafang's words, at such a moment, even Chu You can understand it.
Su Song slowly walked to the chair on the side and said, "There are officials here, what is there to worry about." ”
Su Zhe was still pressed to the ground, and all he could think of was Zhao Xu's question just now, and the Empress Dowager Gao's sudden fainting shocked him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to be pressed in shame and anger.
Lu Dafang glanced at Chu You, clasped his hands, thought for a while, and slowly sat down on his chair.
Seeing that Sanxiang was honest, Chu You walked out of the palace gate, called someone, and quietly rearranged it.
Empress Dowager Gao fainted suddenly, no one knows what will happen next, as the actual supreme power of the Great Song Dynasty, her every move has a great impact, let alone at this time.
Inside the dormitory.
The imperial doctor gave the Empress Dowager Gao a nervous face, and the cold sweat on her head couldn't help it.
In addition, there are only Zhao Xu and Zhou He in the dormitory.
Zhou He stared at the imperial doctor, occasionally glancing at Zhao Xu, every time he was terrified, constantly suppressing the crazy thoughts that surged in his heart.
