Chapter Twenty-Four: The Last One
Zhao Xu stood up violently, condescendingly at Su Zhe, and shouted coldly: "My fault? Where is my fault? You say I don't know how serious the situation is? Then I tell you how serious it is! It was my mother-in-law Xiang who murdered me, it was she who ordered someone to push me into the well, it was she who assassinated Gao Gongji, and it was the rumors she spread! Now, my grandmother is seriously ill and in a coma, if the Queen Mother Xiang is out of the Qingshou Palace, are you loyal to the monarch, or do you take care of the overall situation!? ”
The implication of the so-called 'taking care of the overall situation' is to turn to the Empress Dowager and deal with Zhao Xu, the emperor!
Su Zhe listened, his face changed greatly, and he stared at Zhao Xu speechless.
Disloyalty to the emperor is a great rebellion!
The huge dormitory is silent, and the needles can be heard!
Han Zhongyan, Han Zongdao, and Ma Yan were moved, even Lu Dafang raised his head slightly, his expression unpredictable.
Su Zhe's face turned pale, and he figured it out in an instant.
What the Empress Dowager Xiang did was nothing more than to kill the official family and set up a new monarch, and the Empress Dowager Gao was seriously ill, so she could be like the Empress Dowager Gao, listen to the government, and grasp the supreme authority of the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Xu looked at Su Zhe and continued to say coldly: "You keep saying that you are a loyal monarch, have you ever saluted since you entered the door?" Do you have a greeting? The most basic courtier's courtesy, do you still have half of it? You are full of righteousness, the overall situation, and condescending to teach me a lesson, but it is just an excuse for you to become inflammatory! When your father was alive, did you ever care so much about your grandmother?! You put on a layer of skin for the overall situation, stepping on my way to show your loyalty, ridiculous! You cut open your skin and take a closer look at your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, which point is loyal to the king? ”
In the end, Zhao Xu was already drinking.
Inside the dormitory, a cold aura was circulating, and everyone's breath stopped.
Han Zhongyan, Han Zongdao, Ma Yan and the others opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xu in shock. The official who was silent in the past actually said such a loud and loud remark!
Zhou He was also stunned, and then shocked. This official family is becoming more and more not to be underestimated.
Even Lu Dafang looked at Zhao Xu directly, but his eyes were deep, the corners of his face were old, and he couldn't see any emotion.
Su Zhe's face was pale when he was drunk by Zhao Xu, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zhao Xu's words poked at his weakness every word, making it difficult for him to breathe and unable to spit out words.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Pull it out, lock it up in the side room first, send it to the Criminal Department tomorrow, and the three divisions will try it, and send it to me if you are convicted." ”
Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's might, he was already excited, and waved his hand to the guards not far away when he listened.
A team of guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Su Zhe back.
Su Zhe looked struggling and painful, and wanted to say something full of heart, but he couldn't say it.
The official family accused him of being 'disloyal to the king', and the Empress Dowager was 'tending to be inflammatory', these are indisputable, because this is the truth!
For so many years, they seem to have forgotten that there is such an emperor as Zhao Xu, and at the court meeting, they only looked at the Empress Dowager, and never consulted, or looked at Zhao Xu!
Su Zhe is currently a doctor in Taizhong, a servant under his door, serving as the three envoys, in short, he is the deputy minister, and the privy envoy Han Zhongyan, and the chief executive Lu Dafang, collectively known as the 'three phases'.
Such a top big man was escorted away by Zhao Xu with a word, and he will be convicted by the three divisions tomorrow!
Han Zhongyan lost his previous calmness, his expression was uneasy, and he looked at Lu Dafang, who had been standing still.
And Han Zongdao, a 'little minion' like Ma Yan was even more frightened, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Zhou He saw that Zhao Xu had just won the Empress Dowager Gao's newly promoted Captain Su in this way, frowned deeply, looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, who was still in a coma, and said secretly in shock: Niangniang, wake up quickly, the sky is going to change......
Chen Pi sneered, the official family is the official family, how can you foreign ministers be rude and accused!
Lu Dafang was still unmoved on his face when Su Zhe was escorted away, and looked at Zhao Xu quietly, his voice was deep, low, and powerful, and said, "Official, please think twice." ”
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
Liu Heng, who was not far away, had round eyes, and was about to step forward with the handle of the knife.
Seeing this, Han Zhongyan's heart shook, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Presumptuous! This is Zaisuke, what do you want to do! This official is a privy envoy, if you want to take Zaifu, take me first! ”
Zhao Xu listened to Lu Dafang's implicit warning, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Zaizhi, don't stop Han Xiang from doing whatever he wants to do or where he wants to go." ”
Liu Heng stared at the two and slowly retreated.
Han Zhongyan drank Liu Heng, his brows moved, and he raised his hand to speak to Zhao Xu, but Lu Dafang said lightly: "Let's go, go to drink tea next door." ”
Han Zhongyan wanted to speak, but saw that Lu Dafang had already walked away. He really wanted to turn around and leave as usual, but Su Zhe was not far in front, and he was extremely unaccustomed to raising his hand to Zhao Xu, turned around and followed Lu Dafang away.
Zhao Xu looked at the backs of the two of them, and said, "Zeng Bu, Cai Jingzhen likes it very much, and the political hall called them back to Beijing." In addition, Su Shi was promoted, and Zhang Shangying was appointed as a counselor. ”
Lu Dafang's footsteps did not stop, Han Zhongyan's expression changed slightly, his heart was uneasy, he didn't dare to be like Lu Dafang, turned around and saluted Zhao Xu, and then left in a hurry.
But he didn't say yes!
Zhao Xu watched the two of them go out without moving, these people didn't have him in their eyes, it was not strange, and it was not worth being angry about.
Now, after stabilizing the three phases of the outer court, it is the last step.
Zhao Xu's expression was silent, and his eyes were full of thought.
Empress Dowager Xiang is the queen of his father's Shenzong and his mother-in-law. As a son, how can you dispose of your mother? Even if this mother has bad intentions to kill him!
Especially as an emperor, he must be like a 'saint', morally immaculate, and the people of the world will not allow a rebel son who 'kills his mother' to be the emperor.
'What to do with ......'
Zhao Xu was quickly calculating in his heart, he couldn't kill, he couldn't be judged, what method could be used to eliminate this threat, and all parties were satisfied.
All parties, including Zhao Xu himself, as well as Empress Dowager Gao, the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhou He was still shocked by Zhao Xu's actions just now, seeing that Zhao Xu was silent, he suddenly guessed what Zhao Xu was thinking, his mind turned, he took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Official, it's not appropriate to move anymore, wait for the mother to wake up." ”
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "In the past, how was this kind of thing handled?" ”
Zhou He hurriedly said: "Official, this kind of thing has never happened before. ”
Even if it happened, there would be no record, no one would know about it, and no one would dare to mention it!
Zhao Xu didn't look at him again, straightened up, and said, "You are looking at grandmother here, no one is allowed to approach, it's anyone, understand?" ”
Zhou He listened to Zhao Xu's words, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he said, "Yes, the villain understands." ”
Zhao Xu beckoned, and went out with Chen Pi, Liu Heng and others.
Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu's back, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak, standing in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Gao, his eyes worried.
Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan were 'drinking tea' in the middle of the house, and the two never spoke.
Han Zhongyan heard the dense footsteps outside, he was puzzled at first, and then his face changed drastically, and he looked at Lu Dafang and said in horror: "Zaifu, what is the official family doing here?" ”
Could it be that the official family wants to deal with the Queen Mother?
In this world, how can there be a reason for a son to deal with his mother!
Lu Dafang closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
Han Zhongyan looked at him and didn't speak, and said urgently: "My Zaifu, even if you can't hear it tonight, won't you hear it tomorrow?" Such a rebellious thing can't happen to my Great Song Dynasty, let alone my Great Song official family! ”
Lu Dafang was as immobile as a mountain, and he couldn't see any expression on his face full of age spots.
Han Zhongyan stomped his feet angrily, Lu Dafang couldn't get out, he could only sulk.
Zhao Xu walked on the way to the Qingshou Palace, thinking all the way.
Empress Dowager Xiang's identity is too special, and if she were someone else, Zhao Xu would have been executed neatly or openly or secretly.
Chen Pi followed behind Zhao Xu, his expression was solemn, and he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't make a sound.
It's so hard! Whether to deal with it or not, the consequences are too serious, and he doesn't dare to say more.
