Chapter 125: Counterattack
He responded to the order and sent an order to Nan Tianyou to keep an eye on the movements inside and outside the court, especially Su Song.
Zhao Xu finished bowing, took a bath, sat in the study, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Tong Guan! ”
Tong Guan came in cautiously from outside the door and said, "Official." ”
Zhao Xu rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand lightly for a while, and said: "Inform me to go down, I want to inspect the six departments, today is the household department, the official department, and the military department." ”
Tong Guan was secretly shocked in his heart, and said quietly: "Yes." ”
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Come here, I'll give you a few words." ”
Tong Guan stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu whispered a few words, and when Zhao Xu finished speaking, Tong Guan immediately said: "Yes, the villain will arrange it." ”
Zhao Xu watched him go, still thinking about it.
He knew that on the issue of dealing with Lu Dafang, except for a small number of people such as Zhang Dan, most of them were opposed and quite resolute.
He's got to do something.
Tong Guan went to arrange and sent the decree to the political hall and the three departments.
Zhao Xu's will went down, and the outside of the palace suddenly became lively, and countless rumors rose with the wind.
'Is Your Majesty going to seal these three?' What is this for? ’
'Patrol these three? What is there to inspect in these three departments, why don't you go to the three provinces? ’
'This ...... Did someone anger His Majesty? Is it a few Shangshu or a squire? ’
'You're not going to kill the courtiers again, are you?' Your Majesty's anger is too heavy! ’
'This is not the work of the Holy Monarch, Your Majesty cannot kill the courtiers so casually! ’
……
Some rumors have been very unfavorable to Zhao Xu.
And Su Song in the political hall, when he heard the news, his old face was wrinkled, and Jiang Jing, who was transferred with him, saw it and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, maybe the official family doesn't mean anything else, I just want to see it." ”
Su Song's expression froze, and he said, "Haven't you seen it yet?" When did our official family have no purpose? In doing so, there must be some hidden purpose. ”
Jiang Jing thought about it, but was still puzzled, and said: "Liang Shangshu of the household department is His Majesty's person, and the military department and the official department have no power. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials and the Second Fan Xianggong approached, could it be that His Majesty was going to the Second Fan Xianggong? ”
Fan Chunren, although Fan Chun is on leave, he is also the deputy minister left by the 'previous dynasty', except for Su Song, they are the most eye-catching.
Su Song hesitated a little when he heard this, and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't, they have already taken leave, and they can't get in the way of anything in the official family." It won't be because we went to see the Empress Dowager just now, and the official family is so cautious about revenge. ”
Jiang Jing felt that it was very possible, but it was not appropriate to announce it.
Su Song thought about it, shook his head, and said, "It's not for them." The biggest problem for the official family now is to properly solve the case of Lu Dafang and put an end to the ministers left behind by the Empress Dowager. Fear...... It's still going to Lu Dafang. ”
Jiang Jing became more and more puzzled, and said: "Lu Xianggong and others are basically decided, and the next thing is the trial, what else do the officials have to do?" ”
Su Song's face was even darker, and he said, "I'm afraid that the official family doesn't want to let Lu Dafang go so easily, so they will be severely punished." ”
Jiang Jing's face changed greatly, and he said, "The official family wants to be severely punished?" How else can it be severely punished? Is it possible, is it possible that the official family still wants to kill Lu Xianggong? ”
Although there are such rumors outside the palace, Jiang Jing doesn't believe it, killing Zaifu is not a joke, there is no such precedent in the Great Song Dynasty!
Su Song Meiyu was irritable and said, "You go and keep an eye on it, if there is any movement, come and tell me immediately." ”
Jiang Jing was also afraid, so he hurriedly left the political hall.
Su Song's brows were about to drip blood, he couldn't let Zhao Xu kill Lu Dafang, not only for the stability of the court situation and the safety of the society, but also for the emperor who killed Zaifu in the Great Song Dynasty!
As soon as this evil list is opened, the consequences are unimaginable!
Su Song was shocked, and others could imagine it.
Erfan and the six remnants of Shangshu, Shilang, etc., all looked at the three places of the military department, the official department, and the household department, and they were unprecedentedly tense.
After all, this official has already killed two courtiers.
Don't care if there's one more of them!
The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households were a little excited, Liang Tao was Zhao Xu's person after all, and Yang Wei gave Lu Dafang a fatal blow and turned against Zhao Xu.
As the head of the household department and the squire, instead of worrying, the two are looking forward to it.
Zhao Xu's pomp out of the palace was very large, in front of the Imperial City Division opened the way, behind the guards, the left layer of protection and the right floor.
"Your Majesty, Ministers."
As soon as Zhao Xu arrived at the entrance of the criminal department, Liang Tao led more than 20 people to greet him and raised his hand to salute.
Zhao Xu saw Liang Tao and said with a smile: "Liang Qing's family is free of courtesy, and your Qing family doesn't need to be polite." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd said loudly.
Except for Liang Tao and Yang Wei, others were excited and written on their faces. Because they all know their Shangshu, the squire is closely following His Majesty in front of them. Cao Zheng, the right attendant, has been promoted to Dali Temple!
Liang Tao took two steps forward and said with a restrained smile: "Your Majesty, please come in, the ministers are ready to explain the government affairs of the household department to Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Xu was wearing his usual clothes, nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, come together." ”
Everyone quickly surrounded Zhao Xu and welcomed him into the house like a moon.
In front of the household department, the water surrounded by officials of all sizes was impassable, and the people not far away were talking about it.
"Is this the Emperor?"
"Yes, he's so young, and he's not as vicious as he rumored, isn't it quite kind?"
"I heard that Liu Shi'an is known as the 'Tiger of the Palace', and I don't know what he said to anger His Majesty before he was killed with a rod, and there is no explanation in the court."
"What can you say? There must be a big mistake, and the court does not dare to say it. ”
"So that's the case, hey, the emperor is young in the end, and he is a slippery official, how can he cope with it......"
"It is estimated that the cane is also angry."
"I heard that Li Gongyan is not a good person, he is corrupt and perverts the law, and he is the same party as Lu Dafang."
"I heard that he deducted the Yellow River disaster relief wide, 800,000 yuan!"
"This Li Gongyan is really bold, 800,000 yuan, how many people have to die here."
"So, he is innocent of death, and it would be a sin to let him live one more day!"
"I really hope that Your Majesty will kill a few more people, at least a lot of people will live."
"You're dreaming! Look at it, that Lu Dafang, everyone respectfully calls Lu Xianggong on weekdays, but how much do you know about things behind your back? If it weren't for those family properties in front of you, would you be able to believe that they were corrupt officials? ”
"I think so, even so, the official family still can't be killed with a cane, and there is no precedent for punishing Zaifu in my dynasty, and there are no jailers!"
"What then? They embezzled so much money and killed so many people? That's it? Or is he an official, spending this money, and enjoying his old age with the admiration of thousands of people? ”
"This ...... We ordinary people must be unwilling to listen to it, but people who are officials don't think so......"
"Yes, the officials are the officials, the people are the people, they are inexhaustible in glory and wealth, how can they care what we say......"
"Hey, I really hope Your Majesty can kill them and vent evil anger for our people......"
Some people in the crowd quietly looked at each other, and when they saw that the conversation was raised, they left the crowd silently.
