Chapter 41 Murder is nothing but punishment
Han Zhongyan came to the front of the Zichen Palace, looking at the gate that he often came to, this moment was a little strange.
Thinking about the official sitting alone inside, after a moment's pause, he raised his head and strode inside.
The Zichen Hall was empty, only Zhao Xu in front was sitting, and Chen Pi and Chu You were standing in front of the side door.
Han Zhongyan is in his early fifties, his face is thin, and his eyes are like stars, and now he can see how handsome he was when he was young.
He strode to the front, raised his hand and bowed: "Minister Han Zhongyan, see Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Xu raised his head and looked in front of him, it was the curtain of the Empress Dowager Gao, and he lowered his head and continued to read.
He sat opposite the Empress Dowager Gao, and the Empress Dowager Gao could see the ministers, but Zhao Xu could only see half of the ministers' buttocks, and at most there was a little side face.
Han Zhongyan raised his hand and bowed, thinking that Zhao Xu would attack him like he reprimanded Su Zhe that day, and he had already thought of countermeasures along the way, just waiting for Zhao Xu to make a move.
But after waiting for a while, seeing that Zhao Xu didn't say 'flat', he couldn't help but look up.
I saw Zhao Xu looking down at the book, as if he didn't feel him coming.
Han Zhongyan waited for a while, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to summon Weichen?" ”
Zhao Xu touched his lower lip with the index finger of his left hand and flipped through the book by himself.
Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't move, Han Zhongyan seemed to have guessed Zhao Xu's purpose, so he put down his hand and stood respectfully.
Seeing him like this, Chen Pi secretly snorted coldly, and said in his heart: Did the official family let you put it down? Is there any more courtesy?
Chu Yu held the knife in his right hand and stood still.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was halfway through noon, and it was time for lunch.
Chen Pi ordered someone to bring some food to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu continued to read and annotate while eating.
Han Zhongyan smelled the fragrance, his stomach screamed unconsciously, and his expression remained calm.
After Zhao Xu finished eating, Chen Pi and Chu You also hurriedly ate a few bites, and continued to stand on both sides behind Zhao Xu.
After noon, Han Zhongyan couldn't help frowning, he was not only hungry, but his legs, feet, and shoulders also hurt.
He glanced at Zhao Xu and held back without moving.
Before I knew it, noon had passed, and it was the afternoon.
Han Zhongyan knew that Zhao Xu was deliberately hanging him, starving, and he could bear the sore shoulders, but he wanted to come up with Gong, the little one!
And more and more urgently.
He looked up at Zhao Xu and continued to endure it.
Zhao Xu glanced at it, suddenly reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and put it down with a sip in his mouth.
Han Zhongyan's legs trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't hold back.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu secretly raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Su Zhe stood in front of the political affairs hall, looked at the direction of Zichen Palace, silently calculated the time, and said, "Is there any movement?" ”
Qin Bing's expression tightened, and he said, "No." The news came back and said that the official family was hanging Han Xianggong, and it had been almost two hours. ”
Su Zhe frowned, turned around and entered Lu Dafang's duty room.
Su Zhe said: "Zaifu, don't you want to think of a way?" There are more and more official actions, and if you don't stop it early, you won't be able to stop it later. ”
"The mother sent someone." Lu Dafang looked at the chapter and said without raising his head.
Su Zhe frowned and nodded slightly.
The official family has to give the mother's face.
While they were talking, Zhou He had already arrived at the side door of the Zichen Palace.
Chen Pi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Zhou, the official family is taking a break." ”
Zhou He looked through the door and saw Zhao Xu holding his hand, as if he had fallen asleep, and then looked at Chen Pi, his face was as usual, and his voice was not loud or small: "I am tired of Gonggong Chen and the official family, Niangniang has issued an edict to improve Concubine Zhu's character, and in the future, Concubine Zhu can take advantage of public opinion, and all the degrees of application are prepared by the Ministry of Internal Service." ”
Zhao Xu, who was pretending to be asleep, listened to it, and sighed in his heart, worthy of his grandmother, this kind of means is really amazing, and it hit him firmly on the underbelly.
Zhao Xu glanced at Han Zhongyan, who was about to hold back, thought for a moment, straightened up, looked at the hall, and said loudly in surprise: "Han Xianggong, where did you come from?" ”
Chen Pizheng couldn't deal with it, and when he heard Zhao Xu wake up, he quietly made way for Zhou He.
Many things, everyone knows well, and they can't be broken, Zhou He smiled, didn't go in, and didn't make a sound.
Han Zhongyan had already heard Zhou He's words, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Zhao Xu was no longer pretending, he also raised his hand solemnly and said, "Weichen didn't dare to disturb when he saw that the official family was taking a nap." ”
Zhao Xu picked up the teacup, looked at the curtain of the Empress Dowager Gao in front of him and said, "I have always sat like this, I can't see the palace, don't blame Han Qing's family." ”
Regarding the meaning of Zhao Xu's words, Han Zhongyan couldn't hear it, raised his hand and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
Zhao Xu was stunned, put down the teacup with a bang, and said, "Han Qing's family doesn't dare?" I passed the decree to you yesterday, and today I opened the dynasty, and the Qing family has done this disrespectful disrespect, why don't you dare now? ”
Han Zhongyan's legs trembled slightly, and when he saw that Zhao Xu finally made a difficulty, he forcibly endured his urge to urinate, and said: "Back to the official family, the mother has not healed, everything in the court has stopped, and the official family has not made a clear decree, so the hundred officials have not entered the court." ”
Zhao Xu looked puzzled, picked up the teacup again, and said, "Han Qing's words, I am confused. Am I not Chrysostom? Even if there is no clear decree, the hundred officials are not in court, why didn't Han Qing's family tell me? I've been here since the hour. ”
Han Zhongyan twisted his eyebrows, his legs tightened slightly, and he thought for a while before saying, "The palace is strictly forbidden, and the ministers did not dare to trespass." ”
Zhao Xu put down the teacup again and said, "Then when I am in the Zichen Palace, the Qing family can come." ”
Zhou He, who was outside the side door, had been calm, and he was waiting for Zhao Xu to finish his attack and take Han Zhongyan away.
Everyone knows that Zhao Xu can't do anything to Han Zhongyan. Almost all the power of the Great Song Dynasty was in the Cining Palace. What's more, Han Zhongyan is a privy envoy, one of the three phases, even the Empress Dowager Gao can't move lightly.
Han Zhongyan couldn't help it, and when he wanted to see Zhao Xu, he couldn't stop fighting, so he had to say: "The minister forgot for a while, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Zhao Xu looked at the twisting of Han Zhongyan's legs, quietly picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said: "Han Qing's family forgot about it for a while, I waited for two hours, Qing family, you are loyal to the monarch and the country." ”
Han Zhongyan clenched his teeth, he couldn't control his body, and said, "The minister is guilty, please retire." ”
Zhao Xu sighed twice, put down the teacup with a bang, and said, "Han Qing's family, I have been drying for two hours, and now I am impatient, I am in a hurry to leave, continue to dry me?" ”
Han Zhongyan listened to the bang, his legs trembled violently, and his lower body was already wet.
Seeing incontinence, Han Zhongyan's face turned pale, and he turned dazed, panicked, and then had no joy or sorrow, for a while, he raised his hand calmly and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
Zichen Hall was quiet.
Except for some tick-tock sounds.
Zhou He also heard it, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, took a step forward, looked up at Han Zhongyan, saw that his lower body was soaked, his expression changed greatly, and then frowned, glanced at Zhao Xu, and retreated silently.
Zhao Xu looked at Han Zhongyan's incontinence, and said expressionlessly: "Han Zhongyan, are you really guilty?" ”
Han Zhongyan stood there, as if he didn't hear or move.
He is incontinent here today, and it will inevitably spread out, his old face will be lost, his fame will come to naught, and he will have no face to gain a foothold in the court, so he can only resign from the government.
Zhao Xu saw that he was stubborn, and said lightly: "Grandmother told you, go." ”
Han Zhongyan raised his hand and turned to leave.
Zhao Xu watched him step by step, smelled a smell of urine, stood up, and said: "Chu You, surround the Zichen Palace, don't let people clean it, it's time to open the court another day, let the civil and military officials smell it well, and take a good look at how the ministers of my Great Song Dynasty are loyal to the monarch and the country!" ”
Han Zhongyan, who had not yet walked out, paused, a wry smile appeared on his originally stiff face, and continued to walk outside.
Zhou He, who was outside the side door, was frightened, and looked at Zhao Xu with his head down, cold all over.
Killing people is nothing but punishing the heart, this Han Xianggong is no longer a place where there is no court!
