Zhou He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Empress Dowager Gao was obviously angry, she had tolerated Zhao Xu again and again, because she felt that she could still control it and 'redeem', and she had hope that Zhao Xu would become a benevolent monarch.

But Zhao Xu openly used the forbidden army in the palace to surround the Sansi Yamen, which greatly broke through the bottom line that Empress Dowager Gao could tolerate!

The Great Song Dynasty has always been 'the emperor and the scholars share the world', and they will never kill until they have to, and the emperor should tolerate and tolerate almost all people and things, this is a Ming Jun, a benevolent monarch should have virtue!

Zhao Xu is now openly using the forbidden army in the palace to seal the three divisions of the yamen and detain the prime minister!

Destroying the DPRK must not be tolerated!

This is something that not only Renjun, but even the faint monarch can't do!

Empress Dowager Gao's face was full of frost, and the brush in her hand didn't know when it was twisted into two pieces, which showed how angry she was in her heart.

At this time, a yellow door walked in quickly and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Lu Xianggong, Su Xianggong ask to see." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's voice was cold and piercing, and she said, "Pass! ”

The yellow door responded, and turned his head to go out.

Soon, Lu Dafang and Su Song came in, the two of them didn't know if they were too old or what, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, these two people were slow, which added a lot of anger to her heart.

Empress Dowager Gao forcibly suppressed Tengteng's anger and said, "The two prime ministers are here. ”

Lu Dafang, Su Song could hear the anger in Empress Dowager Gao's voice, bowed and saluted, without saying a word.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Empress Dowager Gao was even more angry, and her tone was indifferent, and she said, "Speak!" What do you say you should do in this situation? ”

In the Empress Dowager Gao's mind, he entrusted all the government affairs to these ministers, and now these ministers have forced the officials to use the forbidden army to arrest people, so they should also solve it!

Su Song was on crutches, lowered his head, and was silent.

He had long felt that Su Zhe might anger Zhao Xu by doing so, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xu would use such drastic means.

He didn't speak this time, not because he was silent in the past, but because he really 'had nothing to say'.

Lu Dafang bent his waist, slowly raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then it depends on Niangniang's determination." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said, "Zai Fu, is this going to push the responsibility to me?" ”

Lu Dafang lowered his eyes, his face was unwavering, and said, "Niangniang, you can't hesitate now." ”

Empress Dowager Gao was even more angry, and shouted: "Do you want me to meet with the official soldiers and kill the palace with a river of blood? ”

Su Song's face twitched fiercely, he was hesitant, but his worried expression suddenly became clear, and he raised his head and said, "I am against it." ”

Without waiting for Lu Dafang to react, Empress Dowager Gao looked at him and said coldly: "What is the Su Qing family against?" ”

Su Song walked on crutches, straightened up, and said in an unusually firm voice: "The palace is bleeding, and the Privy Council does not agree." ”

Empress Dowager Gao slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Then you see the old woman's head in a different place? Seeing the disobedience and unfilial piety of the official family, and seeing my Emperor and Empress of the Great Song Dynasty killing each other? Are you worthy of the Emperor? Are you worthy of the ancestors of my Great Song Dynasty? Aren't you afraid that the annals of history will say that you are all rebellious ministers and thieves, and you will be stinking for 10,000 years! ……”

Su Song's expression was blue when he was drunk by the Empress Dowager Gao, but he still insisted on gritting his teeth and said, "The old minister doesn't believe that the official family will be so rebellious. The old minister will go to the Funing Hall now, if the official family brings troops to the Cining Palace, he will step on my corpse first! ”

As he spoke, Su Song walked back on crutches.

When Empress Dowager Gao heard him say this, her anger decreased slightly, she became a little more reasonable, and said, "Let's stay in the Qing family, now we still find a way to stop the official family and calm this matter." ”

Su Song paused for a moment, as if he felt that he was going to hard top Zhao Xu or add fuel to the fire, turned around, and continued to listen silently on crutches.

Empress Dowager Gao took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, looked at Lu Dafang, and said, "At this time, if there is any way, just say it." ”

Lu Dafang's voice was a little louder, and he said: "There are only two hundred forbidden troops outside the palace, knock it, and then invite the official family to come to Cining Palace." ”

Empress Dowager Gao twisted her eyebrows and said, "Will the official family come?" ”

"Yes." Lu Dafang's voice was hoarse, but he was very decisive, giving people a very convincing feeling.

Empress Dowager Gao understood, nodded lightly with cold eyes, and said in a tone without joy or sadness: "I hope the official family will not really mess around, Zhou He, pass on my will." Let the front of the palace take care of the guards who leave the palace without permission, and invite the official family to come to me. ”

They all knew very well in their hearts that as long as it wasn't a desperate rebellion, Zhao Xu's forbidden army couldn't do too much, and they put enough pressure on their side, and Zhao Xu would come over obediently!

At this time, they were all thinking about a way to punish Zhao Xu in their hearts, such a thing must not happen a second time! They will no longer condone Zhao Xu, the ancestral system and the dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty will not allow anyone to destroy it!

What they want is a benevolent emperor who is good at listening to advice, can tolerate direct ministers, is cautious, and is one with scholars!

Zhou He hurriedly bowed, responded silently, and hurriedly turned around to leave.

Empress Dowager Gao waited for Zhou He to leave, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Come on, give a seat to the two Qing families." ”

Lu Dafang, Su Song responded, and after sitting down, he stopped talking.

Just when Zhou He went to the front of the palace to pass on the edict of the Empress Dowager Gao, Cheng Ma Yan in the imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace, and Huang Shan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, were hurrying to the Yamen of the Third Division with people.

The faces of the two of them were almost the same solemn and anxious, looking at Chen Pi who was walking in front, and they were terrified.

They didn't believe it at first, but when the news came, they didn't believe it and they had to believe it.

It's just that when they were ordered to audit the various accounts of the three divisions and yamen, they panicked in their hearts and broke out in cold sweat on their heads.

The three divisions of the yamen are in charge of the world's money and grain, and the three divisions are one of the three ministers, and if they really want to find out something, the three divisions and yamen may not be able to do anything, they are afraid that they will be exiled to Lingnan.

The two quietly wiped their cold sweat, and before they could figure it out, they arrived at the Sansi Yamen.

Chen Pi and Liu Heng said a few words, then turned to Ma Yan and Huang Shan, and said, "Two, the official family said that in half an hour, there must be a result." What kind of result, you don't need to say more about the villain, right? ”

Ma Yan and Huang Yan glanced at each other, they naturally understood. The officials and soldiers surrounded the three divisions and yamen, and they must get evidence of the crime, otherwise how can they explain to the government and the opposition? They also know that this matter is not difficult, the three divisions of the yamen are in charge of the world's money and grain, and those dirty things in the light and dark, as the secretary of the criminal department, the imperial history, they are clear.

The point is, they can't!

If you really turn those things out, everyone's faces won't look good, and they will be the first to be unlucky!

Seeing Chen Pi staring at them, the two looked at each other again, and said stubbornly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The two of them are not Su Zhe, Lu Dafang and others, dare to be tough and tough Zhao Xu, at least the etiquette on the face is still thorough.

Chen Pi didn't dare to be careless, stared at them, and at the same time began to coerce and induce interrogations of some key figures in the Sansi Yamen.

They have deduced many times in Zhao Xu's study, and time is pressing, and they must race against time!

The three divisions of the yamen was sealed, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Kaifeng City, and the vast majority of people didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a rumor, and then they were shocked, and then they panicked around looking for people to inquire and find out.

Rumors are flying in Kaifeng City, the princes and ministers are unprecedentedly nervous, people come and go, traffic is busy, and it is not lively.

Liang Tao was drinking alcohol, but when he heard the news, his eyes widened, he woke up most of the time, looked at his nephew in front of him, and said; "What you said is true?"

The young man looked shocked and said, "It's true, I've seen it myself, and all of them are palace guards." Second uncle, you said, did someone tell the official family, and the official family was angry? ”

After all, it involves nearly 3 million military salaries, and the officials are furious, and it makes sense to mobilize the guards to seal up the three divisions, right?

After hearing this, Liang Tao's face changed rapidly, and he was also apprehensive and frightened.

The young man looked at his expression, suddenly woke up, and said, "Second uncle, are you worried that this matter will involve you?" ”

Liang Tao walked around in the gazebo, a cold sweat broke out on his head, and said, "Could it be that you think that this matter will be the responsibility of the prime minister?" The deputy envoy of the third division is not qualified enough, the most suitable person to carry this black pot, I, the head of the household, bear the brunt, the most suitable! ”

For such a big thing, I really have to blame it, and the Liang family can't afford it!

The young man was scared and said in a trembling voice: "Second uncle, what should I do then?" ”

Liang Tao walked around, his brows were about to be wrinkled with blood, he hesitated for a while, Liang Tao took a deep breath, and said: "No way, preemptively, bring me the things I prepared, and I will enter the palace." ”

The young man suddenly understood, and exclaimed: "Second uncle, in this way, I'm afraid that Ji Xiang, even Zai Fu will not let us go, right?" ”

"Go!" Liang Tao shouted.

The so-called 'mutual protection of officials and officials' refers to a huge and coexisting network of interests formed by a certain level of people who protect and use each other.

Liang Tao is not qualified to let Lu Dafang 'protect each other', but Su Zhe has, even if the Empress Dowager Gao knows, she will press it quietly, push the charge to Liang Tao, and close the case calmly.

If one of the three phases is involved in military salary deductions, reselling, etc., where will the court put its face?

Therefore, what Liang Tao has to do is to take the initiative to shake things out, even if he is liquidated afterwards, it is better than carrying this black cauldron!

The young man was taken aback, and hurried to find what they had prepared.

When Liang Tao entered the palace in a panic with a large pile of evidence of the 'military salary disappearance case', Cai You was coming out of the tailoring institute and entering the palace, but then he was dumbfounded.

The official family issued an order, and the palace guards seized the three divisions of the yamen!

Cai You was holding the paper bag, looking confused, and said to himself: "The official family knows first? ”

If the official already knows, then what use is he with these things?
