Zhao Xu sighed, this was a fresh excuse, turned to the others, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?" ”

There are too many people in Zichen Hall today, but there are not many who really dare to speak on this issue.

Cai Jing looked at Su Song in front, Su Shi and others in the back, and glanced at Li Qingchen again, and then looked at Zhao Xu, and did not move.

Cao Zheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, strode out of the ranks and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple believes that the law of the ancestors is not enough to punish the corrupt ministers, please Your Majesty thunder out of the Heavenly Constitution, Dali Temple and the three law divisions will use this as a rope to curb corruption, and return my Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and the people will be happy!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Liang Tao quickly came out of the ranks.

As soon as Liang Tao came out, like a weather vane, more than 20 people followed, and all the 'ministers seconded it'.

Everyone in the court watched, and their hearts were secretly vigilant, and more people began to hesitate.

And the conservative Lu Tao and others looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Are there so many people who stand on the side of the official family?

They woke up in horror, and there were many more who didn't come forward and probably won't be on their side!

The conservatives looked ahead, and Zai Fu Su Song.

The momentum can't overwhelm these people, so they can only hope for Su Song.

Su Song was silent.

The conservatives' hearts are cold, and Su Xianggong can't help it?

Zhao Xu, who was sitting at the top, saw that the situation was very good, and his mood naturally followed, but suddenly he found that something was wrong - he was in a dilemma.

Even if Su Song and the others stopped talking, he couldn't really use capital punishment against Lu Dafang, because those evidence and reasons still didn't seem to be enough, and he couldn't convince the courtiers in the palace, and he would inevitably boil as soon as he spoke.

Not to mention the conservatives, even if they are on Zhao Xu's side, to what extent can they support him?

Zhao Xu's expression did not move, but his heart changed: How to kill?

The atmosphere of Zichen Hall became strange again. The courtiers did not speak, as if in some kind of silent stalemate.

Cai Jing saw the opportunity, suddenly came out of the ranks, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should be severely punished!" Lu Dafang's party, with more than 30 people, copied 13 million yuan of family property, enough to feed the country's officials for a year! If you go back in time, their annual embezzlement income may be enough to feed the army for a year! Such a huge greed has never been seen in the past! If the imperial court can strictly crack down on corruption, our dynasty can save at least tens of millions of yuan every year, so that the treasury will no longer be in difficulty, and the people will not be helpless. It is a great good for the country and the people, please consider it for Your Majesty! ”

The courtiers all knew that Lu Dafang and his party had copied a huge amount of family property, but thirteen million yuan still shocked them.

That's a tenth of the annual income of the state treasury!

Without waiting for the courtiers to react, suddenly a royal history came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has Lu Dafang's book, and I am petitioning Your Majesty." ”

The others didn't react, Zhang Dian did raise his eyebrows, turned around sharply, and said coldly: "Lu Dafang is detained in the Criminal Department, heavily guarded, where did your recital come from!" Dare to use it impersonately, deceive the king in front of the palace, do you know what kind of crime this is! ”

The whole hall was shocked.

Even Su Song and the others turned around, but they didn't expect that at this time, Lu Dafang actually jumped out!

Zhao Xu's face was expressionless, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said lightly: "Don't pursue it for the time being, I want to see what he wrote." ”

Chen Pi hurriedly went down.

Zhang Dan's eyes were like a sword, and he almost wanted to stab that imperial history through the heart.

This imperial history was cold and shivering. He was also forced!

Chen Pi handed it over and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took the thick notebook and spread it out to look at it.

The courtiers all looked at Zhao Xu, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Lu Dafang has repeatedly bullied this young official, and he has never taken it into his eyes all these years, only the Empress Dowager in his eyes.

At this juncture, what will Lu Dafang write?

Zhao Xu sat still, slowly flipping.

In Lu Dafang's notebook, almost all of what he wrote was about the 'new law', and the whole article described the 'great chaos in the world' during the Yuanfeng period, and almost all the responsibilities for what happened inside and outside the Song Dynasty in these years were pushed to the changes of the 'new party'.

Involved in internal affairs and frontier wars, although he didn't justify himself, it can still be seen between the lines that he is playing the image of Zaifu who works hard, works hard for the country, works hard for half his life, and desperately recovers.

Zhao Xu shook his head secretly, the end of the party struggle is a power struggle, how can there be any brilliance.

He put it aside, looked at the people in the hall, and said, "It's not a recital for sins. Speaking of which? ”

Everyone was staring at the notebook in Zhao Xu's hand, still uneasy in their hearts.

Lu Dafang is Zaifu in the end, if he really writes something secret or complains about something, it is likely to be shocked!

Cai Jing frowned, he didn't expect this moth to come out, and his opportunity to make meritorious contributions would come to naught.

Just wanted to go further, suddenly, someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Xihe Road has a little bit of a song for Chen Xi." ”

Zhao Xu looked at the person who came out of the ranks, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "What?" The scripts of the envoys are also being done by someone now? Present it. ”

The expressions of the people in the hall changed immediately, and they all turned their heads to look at the people who came out of the queue and the notebooks they were holding.

Chen Xi is Lu Dafang's protégé!

Xihe Road is the frontier, bordering Qinfeng Road, and further east is Huanqing Road! The three roads are practiced into a line, which is the most important border defense road to defend Western Xia and Tubo!

This is the transcript of the Frontier Marshal!

What will he write? Defend Lu Dafang? If he pleads, how should the court and officials respond?

You must know that the Great Song Dynasty did not defect without a border marshal!

If something happens to Xihe Road, there will be unimaginable huge flaws in the defense of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty!

Everyone's expressions were constantly changing, their eyes were solemn, and their breath was held.

The scripture of Xihe Road!

When Chen Pi took the notebook and walked back to His Majesty, the courtiers were terrified and panicked, as if they had foretold that something was about to happen.

Not to mention the conservatives, even the 'new party' is nervous and terrified.

Western Xia was ready to move, sending people to threaten from time to time, and repeatedly harassing them on the border, clearly threatening to have a big war.

Huanqing Road is like a big enemy, and it is too busy to take care of itself, if there is a big change in Xihe Road on the left, the entire northwest defense line will collapse!

Thinking that Kaifeng City was in no danger to defend, many people in the hall broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Pi stood next to Zhao Xu and quietly glanced at Zhao Xu's side face. He is also very worried, even if he doesn't read much, he also knows the influence of Bian Shuai!

Zhao Xu sat still and slowly opened it to look.

Chen Xi's characters are very good-looking, upright and powerful, the pen is a dragon and snake, and the words reveal the unique 'peaceful' atmosphere of hard and soft among the literati in the battlefield of the Great Song Dynasty.

The content of his recital is very similar to that of others, saying that 'although the public has had a fault, but the hard work is seen', 'the rewards and punishments are moderate, and the punishment is modest', and then he also advised Zhao Xu to 'not believe slander, leave the future wrong, take the great prince as the heart, depose the new law, and carry out the government of the ancestors', 'then the world will be peaceful, all the people will return to their hearts, and the king of holy virtue will also'.

Zhao Xu looked at this notebook, it can be said that it is very plain, similar to what the courtiers in Beijing wrote, and there is nothing new.

However, Chen Xi is a slight envoy of the Xihe Road, and the location is very dangerous, and no matter how plain the recital is, it cannot be taken lightly.

His playbook is heavier than everyone in the capital!
