Chapter 197: Empress Dowager Gao made a move
The big seal is in the hands of Zhang Hao and others, if Zhang Duan uses Zhao Hao's big seal and stamps it on those judgment documents, it will be no different from whether Zhao Hao has a personal trial!
Liu Changshi panicked: "King, this big seal must be taken back, I'll go!" ”
Zhao Hao shook his head with a deep face, and said, "I can't get it back, Cai Bian asked Shen Qi to come to see me before, and he also asked me to go to the personal trial......"
Before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded outside.
Zhao Hao hurriedly lay back and covered the quilt.
Liu Changshi helped sort it out and tried his best to restore the original state just now.
When Yang Hui came in, he immediately smelled a smell of urine, glanced at Zhao Hao, who was obviously different from just now, and Liu Changshi, who had a somewhat strange complexion, sat down on the chair directly, closed his eyes and said, "I won't go out next time if the oil is poured on my face." ”
Liu Changshi didn't seem to understand, laughed with him, and stood aside.
Yang Hui sat in the evening, he didn't leave the palace, he ate in the side hall, and made up his mind not to go out.
The three people in the hall actually know that they are staying up with each other, and whoever can't survive will lose!
Cao Zheng came to the Qingwa house again, and when Cai Bian finished saying 'case law', his expression fell into contemplation, and he said for a while: "If it is 'judgment first and then establishment', it is not impossible, but it needs to be strictly controlled, otherwise Dali Temple will be mastered and used by people with intentions, and the consequences will be too serious." ”
Cai Bian was a little calmer and said: "Zhao Hao is not enough to serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, and the situation is not stable. After stabilization, the status of Dali Temple is transcendent, and ordinary people can't move. In addition, as long as the law is well-established, it is not so easy to be at the mercy of others. ”
Cao Zheng was still a little uneasy, but this was also the only way to solve the cases of Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others at present, and said, "Yes." After the official returned, he ordered the Dali Temple of Kaifeng Mansion to come to the trial, and asked the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion and Yang Hui to observe the trial. ”
Cai Bian nodded, and then said: "You take this big seal later, and go to Cining Hall to see King Yan, I always think he is a little weird." ”
Without waiting for Cao Zheng to speak, Zhang Dian came in from outside and said, "Pretend." I've asked the Imperial Doctor, and I've asked some people with a prescription. He has this kind of disease, and eating some special herbs can disguise it, or he will die, let alone fall asleep at every turn. ”
Cai Bian was not surprised, looked at him, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows were sharp, and he said: "How can a person with ill intentions condone it!" Cao Zheng, you draw up an official document, stamp it with the big seal of King Yan, and go to Cining Palace. In the future, all the decrees of Dali Temple will come from King Yan! After a few days, the summer envoy came, you acted as a reception envoy, and then went to Kaifeng Mansion to be a minister, which is the meaning of the official family. ”
The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, known as the 'Chu Xiang', is one step away from the prefect of the house, and it can be said that it is much higher than the original Dali Temple!
Cao Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately said: "The next official takes the order!" ”
Zhang Dian explained a few words, and when Cao Zheng left, he looked at Cai Bian and said, "The official family is ready to go out of the city to greet Zhang Qi and the others in person, I am against it, but the official family seems to insist on doing so." ”
Cai Bian immediately frowned, the emperor went out of the city to greet the border marshal, such a specification had never been seen in the Great Song Dynasty, and it did not conform to the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.
Cai Bian groaned and said, "If the official family wants to strengthen the army, it is necessary. I know that what you are against is to welcome Zhang Qi, and the officials may not be willing to listen. ”
The corners of Zhang Dan's face were serious, and he said: "You find an opportunity to persuade the official family again, and the military ministers can't be excessively elevated." ”
Cai Bian responded casually, but he knew in his heart that this was all an excuse, and Zhang Dian still cared about the relationship between the two brothers, which would be detrimental to the change.
Cao Zheng drafted the document in the political hall, stamped it with the new seal engraved by Zhao Hao, and when the ink was dry, he went to the Cining Palace.
Yang Hui is still pretending to sleep, and Zhao Hao is still pretending to be asleep.
When Liu Changshi saw Cao Zheng coming in, his expression was instinctively nervous, and when he saw the big seal he was holding in his hand, he was even more uneasy.
Cao Zheng greeted Yang Hui, and when he saw that Yang Hui ignored him, it didn't matter, he stepped forward and said with a smile to Liu Changshi: "Liu Changshi, that's the case, the lower officials are about to be transferred, and I came to say goodbye to His Royal Highness King Yan." In addition, before leaving, it is necessary to arrange the affairs of Dali Temple, and some matters have been drawn up, which have been stamped with the big seal, please Liu Changshi know, and it will be verified in the future. ”
Looking at the official document handed over by Cao Zheng, Liu Changshi kept staring at the big seal, glanced at Cao Zheng, took it with some caution, and looked at the official document, his face began to change constantly.
In this official document, a series of government affairs of Dali Temple have been arranged, including the current 'Wang Anli case', 'Chen Dynasty case', etc., as well as many personnel appointments, all of which are named after King Yan and stamped with the bright red seal of King Yan!
Even if he was prepared, Liu Changshi was still flustered, tried his best to control his expression, and said with a smile: "Cao Siqing, my king is still asleep, in the name of the king, it's not appropriate, right?" ”
Cao Zhengdao: "The lower official is no longer the secretary of Dali Temple at the moment when His Royal Highness King Yan appointed the edict, and now it is just because His Royal Highness King Yan is seriously ill that he cannot get out. ”
The meaning of Cao Zheng's words is very simple, do you not use me?
Liu Changshi wanted to speak and stopped, very anxious. If Cao Zheng is allowed to do this, what is the point of them hiding in Cining Palace?
Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed, jumped a few times, and Liu Changshi's words made him feel that there was a big problem in that official document, and he suddenly coughed twice.
Liu Changshi looked back, and said to Cao Zheng in understanding: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, Cao Siqing, whether this official document and the big seal can be left, my king may wake up at any time." ”
Cao Zheng shook his head decisively and said, "Liu Changshi, this big seal should be placed in Dali Temple, this is the rule of the imperial court." In addition, if His Royal Highness King Yan wakes up, please report it to the Political Affairs Hall immediately. The subordinate has to do the handover, so he won't bother. ”
Seeing that Cao Zheng was about to leave, Liu Changshi was willing to let go, and hurriedly walked a few steps to stop him, and said, "Cao Siqing, wait a minute, is it too eager to try tomorrow?" Before my king fell into a coma, he said that Dali Temple should be meticulous in everything, and it is good to do things only after verification, and it is not in a hurry. ”
Cao Zheng was stunned and said, "This is what His Royal Highness King Yan meant?" Is it to postpone all recent events? ”
Liu Changshi was speechless again, King Yan didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Dali Temple, if these became the meaning of King Yan, then the spearhead of these turmoil must be pointed at King Yan, and it was in vain to hide for so long.
Yang Hui had been watching from the sidelines, walked over directly, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Yan, if you continue to pretend like this, then nothing will be up to you!" ”
The trial will start tomorrow, and seeing that this day is about to pass, Yang Hui can't sit still.
If King Yan can't preside over the trial, then the 'Wang Anli' case will be fooled by Zhang Dian and others! After working hard for so long, how can you tolerate it!
The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth on the bed couldn't help twitching, and anger arose in his heart: Zhang Dian forced him, this Yang Hui also forced him, how did he get to this crater when he was originally out of the matter, and he couldn't advance or retreat!?
At this moment, Zhou He appeared outside the door.
Cao Zheng looked at him and was slightly shocked, what is the Empress Dowager going to do?
Yang Hui's expression changed darkly, and from his heart, he naturally hoped that the Empress Dowager Gao would continue to listen to the government, then there would be nothing, and everyone would be content with peace and enjoy the prosperous world. But now that Empress Dowager Gao has withdrawn the curtain, if there is another chaotic situation of the emperor and queen fighting for power, it is definitely not what he wants to see!
Liu Changshi looked at Zhou He, his heart moved, he stepped forward urgently, raised his hand and said: "Huangmen Ling, the king of my family is seriously ill, but these two have not forced him to go out to try the case, and they also ask the empress dowager to call the shots." ”
Zhou He's face was expressionless, and he stood not far from the door, and said: "The Empress Dowager said that if His Royal Highness King Yan wakes up, he will go to the trial for the first trial, not only now, but also the Wang Anli case in the back, according to what the official said, fair, just and open." ”
As soon as Zhou He's words fell, Cao Zheng, Yang Hui, and Liu Changshi's faces changed!
The Empress Dowager, is she also involved?
No one will doubt Empress Dowager Gao's ability and influence, even if Zhao Xu cleans the court and tosses it all over the place, if she really wants to make a sudden move, it must be a thunderous method, maybe Zhao Xu will be difficult to parry!
Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed, slowly frowned.
He hid here just to save his life, to avoid the disputes between the government and the opposition and the possible resentment of the eldest nephew. Now, when his mother wants him out, is she sending him to die?
Cao Zheng was secretly frightened, but he remained silent, staring at Zhao Hao on the bed.
He already knew from Zhang Dian that Zhao Hao might be pretending!
Yang Hua was clearer, standing expressionlessly.
Liu Changshi stood restless and didn't know how to reply.
"Ahem,"
Suddenly, Zhao Hao coughed a few times, and the people who were already looking at him suddenly had different expressions.
Zhao Hao, after all, can't help it?
Liu Changshi glanced at a few people, walked quickly to the bed, and said with an anxious face: "Wang, you are awake, are you uncomfortable, I will pass the imperial doctor?" ”
Zhao Hao seemed to be sleepy-eyed, and said sullenly: "Okay." ”
Cao Zheng saw that Zhao Hao was awake, and knew that he was going to go out of the palace to interrogate him personally, and the stakes were very high, his eyes moved, and he raised his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, please take care of your body, and the next official will come to visit you another day." ”
Yang Hui stepped forward directly, looked at Zhao Hao, who was still pretending to be a fake, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, I will send the case file over later, I hope Your Highness can have a good trial." ”
Zhao Hao seemed to be unable to hear clearly, and his face was dazed.
Yang Hui was very dissatisfied with this Yan King who made him sit dry for two days, snorted, turned around and left.
After the outsiders left, Zhou He stepped forward, looked at Zhao Hao, who had already sat up, paused, and said: "Your Highness, what Niangniang means is to drag it if you can, and the longer you drag it out, the better." ”
Zhao Hao stopped pretending, his face was dissatisfied, and said, "What is the queen mother going to do?" The official family is dissatisfied with me and may kill me at any time, does the queen mother really ignore me? ”
Zhou He's expression did not move, and he said: "Your Highness, the official family is kind-hearted, how could he kill his own uncle?" Don't think too much, do things with your heart. The villain retired. ”
Zhao Hao looked at his back, and his eyebrows were full of irritability.
He regretted it very much now, and he couldn't help but take the lead and let the eldest nephew hate him. Now, not only the eldest nephew, but also the 'old and new' parties regard him as a pawn, desperately pushing forward, and he can't help but hide a little!
It's really hateful!
Zhao Hao gritted his teeth.
