Chapter 132: Decisive Decision
'Xihe Road Passes through the ......'
Zhao Xu stared at this recital and muttered repeatedly, his face condensed.
Su Song hugged the banwat, his brows furrowed from time to time.
He knew that some people would not be reconciled, but he didn't expect that even the Xihe Road Envoy would come out!
Zhang Dan's already serious look added a bit of murderous aura.
The others were different, looking flustered, and the hall soon became chaotic, and half of the more than seventy people were looking back and forth from side to side. The sound was very small, buzzing and noisy in the small Zichen Hall.
Zhao Xu thought for a while, raised his eyes to look at Su Song and Zhang Dian in front of him, and then said lightly: "Chen Qing's recital, I also hope that I and the imperial court will be lenient with Lu Dafang and his party, and there is no other content. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
Many people thought that Zhao Xu was going to punish the wrath of thunder, but seeing him so calm, some people quietly breathed a sigh of relief, while others were even more uneasy!
Cai Jing looked at it, his heart suddenly moved, he came out of the column and carried the banwat, his tone was generous and intense, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lu Dafang can't be degraded out of Beijing, the traffic side handsome, should be strictly interrogated clearly, and ask Chen Xi to return to Beijing!" ”
Courtiers colluding with generals with heavy troops in the frontier were taboo in all dynasties, especially in the Song Dynasty!
Even if everyone knows that no matter how Lu Dafang is, he will not really have the intention of rebelling. However, the timing of this notebook appearing at this time is indeed too delicate!
At this point, how can Lu Dafang be allowed to leave Beijing? If you don't find out, who can rest assured?!
I don't know why, the big stone in the hearts of some people in the hall suddenly fell slowly.
If Lu Dafang is kept locked up under such an excuse, it will not be a good thing that he will not be able to do it in the end.
Cai Jing's words fell, and no one echoed or objected.
But that's not what Zhao Xu wants!
He wants to tear a hole in the corrupt and self-contained, monolithic officialdom of the Song Dynasty and establish the authority of his emperor!
Zhao Xu looked at Su Song and Zhang Dian in front of him again, and sat up straight slightly.
When Chen Pi saw it, he immediately understood, his right hand was behind his back, and he quietly made a gesture to the side door.
A small yellow door immediately flashed, and not long after, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the main hall door: "Your Majesty, martial arts doctor, leading the Imperial City Division, Cai You asks to see." ”
There were too many things in a series of things, and the courtiers didn't wake up for a while, and when they heard the name of 'Cai You', many people frowned.
This young man is really fierce, during this time, he has arrested people and raided their homes, beaten and killed people, and has almost no scruples, and he has become a 'ghost and sorrow'!
Su Song's face was expressionless, today's events were completely unexpected by him, disrupting his plan, he always had a bad premonition, and it became more and more intense.
Su Shi, Mi Fu and others may not be in the court for a long time, and some can't keep up with the rhythm of the court.
More people in the hall are cautious, silent, and wise to protect themselves.
Since you can't decide, then I'll come!
Zhao Xu's expression remained unchanged, he secretly took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Pass!" ”
Chen Pi glanced out of the side door, Empress Dowager Gao's edict had already been prepared.
Cai You's purple hat and black boots came in from outside the door, and in the dark, he saw the courtiers in the hall at first sight, and countless eyes were cast at him.
Even though Cai You is old and born in Caifu, he has never seen high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but at this moment, his legs are still trembling and his expression is tight.
In this hall are the most powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty!
Cai You strengthened his spirit, strode in, raised his hand and said, "Weichen Cai You, see Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Flat." ”
This is his foreshadowing.
The courtiers suddenly became nervous, their eyes fixed on Cai You, and they didn't know what the Imperial City Division was going to do.
Cai You got up, felt the many sharp eyes in the hall, suddenly felt the pressure like a mountain, and stiffened his neck, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lu Dafang's party, except for Lu Dafang, all confessed and confessed more crimes, including ......"
"Your Majesty, Yang Wei, the head of the household, asks to see you."
Before Cai You's words fell, a long shout sounded outside the hall again.
Cai You's voice was interrupted, and the courtiers moved one after another, and their faces were solemn.
Don't talk about this Cai You, Yang Wei is the one who gave Lu Dafang a fatal blow!
He didn't come to the court before, what is he going to do at this time?
What happened in today's court meeting made them dizzy, worried, and up and down.
There were too many people coming to the court meeting this time, and Zhao Xu realized that Yang Wei was not there, glanced at Cai You, thought for a moment, and said, "Pass." ”
Chen Pi frowned with a slightly annoyed expression, this Yang Wei ruined the official family's plan.
Yang Wei strode in, perhaps too anxious, a little disheveled, panting, he came in with a bunch of official documents, came closer, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has to report, I dare not report to Your Majesty, please read it." ”
"Your Majesty,"
As soon as Yang Wei's words fell, someone immediately came out of the queue and said urgently: "The minister impeached the traitor Yang Wei!" This person was first attached to Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi was the first to attack, and then to Sima Xianggong. Sima Xianggong died of illness, he lashed out, threw himself at Liu Zhi, was promoted, turned his head and accused Liu Zhi again, attached to Lu Dafang, and now, he chased and beat Lu Dafang, wanted to kill him and then quickly, he was really a capricious and treacherous villain! The minister asks His Majesty to cut him down and drive him out of the court, so as to set the record straight! ”
After this person, someone quickly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Wei is notorious, Shilin calls him 'Yang Sanchang', despicable and shameless, for the sake of the throne, please punish Your Majesty severely!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
For a while, six or seven people came out and attacked Yang Wei strongly.
Yang Wei's face turned pale, and his hurried desire to invite merit turned into anger, and he looked back, wanting to secretly remember these people.
Seeing this, Zhang Dan's eyes flashed, he turned around with Ban Wat in his arms, and said lightly: "What Yang Shilang reported is not a traitorous villain, and the facts are there. Are you attacking Yang Shilang now, do you want someone to overturn the case? ”
The group listened, and they were speechless.
Because Yang Wei's previous counter-attack, Wang Anshi, Liu Zhi, and Lu Dafang, in the imperial court, they are all positioned as 'traitors and villains'.
Lu Tao, Su Shi and the others glanced at each other, and said, "Even so, Yang Wei is not noble!" Such people cannot remain in the court. ”
Yang Wei had actually secretly thrown himself into Zhang Wei before, Zhang Wei had 'high hopes' for Yang Wei, where would Yang Wei be driven out of the court so easily, glanced at Lu Tao, and snorted coldly: "Your Shu faction has no position, turning things upside down, selling fame and reputation, who is in power and attacking whom, what face do you have to say about others?" ”
Lu Tao knew that Zhang Dian hated them, so he didn't argue, and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, Yang Wei's words should not prevail!" The ministers asked Yang Wei to be expelled from the court. The case of Lu Dafang touched people's hearts, and the world was boiling, and the ministers asked His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Su Shi and others quickly came out of the queue and followed up together.
Su Song in front of him pondered for a moment, and then raised the plate wat as follows: "Your Majesty please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Perhaps this sentence does not particularly point to it, but there are more than 30 people who stand up in the court, and in the hall of more than 70 people, it looks extremely dazzling and powerful!
Zhao Xu took a long time, looked at it very calmly, and sighed in his heart.
'The conservatives are still strong......
The so-called 'old party' does not refer to Lu Dafang's party, Su Song, Fan Bailu, Fan Chunren and even in this hall, they did not stand up, seven or eight times out of ten!
Relatively speaking, the reformers of the 'New Party' are a minority, not in this hall, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is also an absolute minority!
Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows kept jumping, his expression was as stern as a swordsman, and he didn't pay attention to the ministers in the hall who were holding a board wat and bowing in unison, staring at Yang Wei coldly with his eyes, and said, "Yang Shilang, what do you have to say?" ”
Yang Wei was taken aback by the battle in front of him, lost his mind for a while, listened to Zhang Dan's words, turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Dan's eyes, Yang Wei's expression changed suddenly!
He felt that if he didn't say why, Zhang Dian might kill him!
Yang Wei immediately took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, turned to Zhao Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister cooperated with the Criminal Department to sort out the case of Lu Dafang, and seized evidence that Lu Dafang had betrayed his territory by the Tongxia people. ”
As soon as Yang Wei's words fell, they were like bombs, buzzing the Zichen Palace, and the ministers couldn't hear other sounds, only Yang Wei's words were in their ears, and they shook endlessly in their minds.
In the Zichen Palace, almost everyone was looking at Yang Wei.
His words are too heavy!
Colluding with Yidi and betraying the territory is tantamount to rebellion!
Su Song, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, Liang Tao, Su Shi, etc., everyone stared at Yang Wei in shock.
Zhao Xu's eyes widened slightly, he sat up straight, his expression was awe-inspiring, his tone was cold, and he said: "Yang Qing's family, framing the courtiers to rebel, do you know what the crime is!" ”
This is also the words that many people don't have time to scold, listening to the official's questioning, everyone is more serious, staring at Yang Wei solemnly, and their hearts are even more nervous.
No matter how much Lu Dafang is at fault, it is all 'subsection', but if he is rebellious, there is no forgiveness at all, who dares to put his beak!
Yang Wei's hand holding the notebook trembled slightly, and he was terrified to the extreme, but he still held on, and said peacefully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a letter between Lu Dafang and Huang Yong, the head of the Mabu Army on Qin Fenglu. ”
The most intolerable thing for Zhao Xu is that the front-line soldiers fight with their lives, and the civil officials behind not only pull their hind legs, but also stab them in the back!
Zhao Xu's voice was even colder, and he said, "Say!" ”
Yang Wei felt the cold breath in the hall, hardened his head, and said: "The time is the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Xia people attacked and disturbed, Huang Yong suggested that Suyuan City, Dingchuan Village, Yonghe Village and Ansai Village four villages, each of which was 200,000 yuan, were sold to the Xia people in exchange for the Xia people's retreat. Lu Dafang replied 'may'......"
Zhao Xu stood up violently and shouted, "Take it!" ”
Chen Pi was startled, and hurriedly ran over, took it and handed it to Zhao Xu.
The courtiers were shocked and terrified.
These four villages were built during the Qingli period, and Fan Zhongyan spent a lot of effort, mainly to prevent Western Xia.
In particular, Dingbian Village is the throat of Western Xia's southward journey, and it must not be lost!
Su Song twisted his eyebrows, Zhang Dian was full of murderous intent, Cai Bian had a calm face, and the courtiers all had different expressions, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they all stared at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu's face was pale, his chest was already full of anger, he snatched the letters handed over by Chen Pi, and kept tearing them open, looking at it, it didn't take long for the corners of his face to twitch fiercely, his eyes were red, and the killing intent was boiling!
He knew that the Song Dynasty was ceding land to Western Xia, and Sima Guang and others were adhering to the idea of 'rejecting the land and seeking peace', and they were all safe! But he never expected that a major matter involving the frontier and national security would be completed between the two letters of the head of Ma Bujun and Zai Fu!
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's the other way around! ”
Zhao Xu stared at the courtiers with an angry face, roaring angrily, eager to raise a knife and kill people.
Yang Wei fell to his knees with a puff, his face turned pale and trembled.
The courtiers in the palace had already guessed the probability, and they all shrank their heads, and their hearts were cold, like falling into an ice cave.
In the Zichen Palace, it is cold and biting!
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and chattered, staring at Yang Wei who was kneeling on the ground, he knew that such a thing, in the Zichen Palace, this Yang Wei would never dare to fake, the fierce Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Su Song, and shouted: "Su Song, does the Privy Council know about this matter?" ”
Su Song's expression was solemn at this time, holding the banwat, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "The Privy Council doesn't know, the Privy Council doesn't know about the existence of these letters. ”
The reason why Su Song was silent was not because he was wise to protect himself. He really didn't know that Lu Dafang would not announce such a secret matter.
The reason why he was silent was because as soon as his words came out, it was tantamount to making a final conclusion for Lu Dafang's coffin!
Zhao Xu stared at Su Song for a while, looked at Zhang Dan, and said coldly: "Over there is Huanqing Road, will there be any changes?" ”
Zhang Dian strode out, looked up at Zhao Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Before the minister entered Beijing, His Majesty ordered Huanqing Road to pacify Zhang Qi to control the northwest armies. With a head guarantee, Xihe Road will be fine! ”
The reason why Zhao Xu was calm when he received Chen Xi's recital was because he had already arranged it before, and he was not worried about chaos.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dan, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, swept his eyes sharply over the ministers, and shouted: "Chen Pi, bring the case file!" ”
It was the first time for Chen Pi to see Zhao Xu so angry, and he was frightened and hurriedly ordered someone to fetch it, and then held it up and knelt in front of Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at the case file, his eyes were like a tide of murderous intent, picked up the pen, and directly drew a '×' on the first Lu Dafang's name, and shouted: "Lu Dafang, kill and decide!" I don't have the whole family! ”
After writing, he threw it down.
The ministers were shocked and looked at Zhao Xu with wide eyes.
Zhao Xu was unconscious, looking at the name of Ma Mo, the waiter of the Ministry of Engineering below, and directly drew '×', and said: "Ma Mo, kill and decide!" I don't have the whole family! ”
boom
The case files were thrown into the hall, fluttering and scattered.
"Lu Heqing, make a decision! I don't have the whole family! ”
"Shangguan Jun, make a decision! I don't have the whole family! ”
"Deng Xunwu, make a decision! I don't have the whole family! ”
Zhao Xu painted seven or eight in a row, all of which were Lu Dafang's cronies and henchmen, and the case files scattered all over the hall.
