Zhou He didn't say much and left quickly.

Zhao Hao sat on the bed, his face sinking like water, and he lost his previous calmness.

Not long after, Qingwafang and Yang Hui respectively sent the files of the 'Chen Dynasty, Lin Cheng and other cases', and also clearly informed Zhao Hao that the case had been handed over to Dali Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture for trial, and Shaoqing Geng Rujie was in charge of the trial.

Zhao Hao slowly flipped over, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and said directly: "How do I judge these things?" sentenced Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others, Yang Hui's gang and the queen mother can spare me? If not, will my eldest nephew be able to make me better? They're forcing me to die! ”

Liu Changshi had a gloomy face, he never thought that the situation would come to this point inexplicably, and they were completely pushed to the crater. Their secret power can't be used at all, and if they really want to show a little, what they will usher in is the thunderous blow of that official!

Liu Changshi thought about it again and again, and said: "King, since the Empress Dowager is talking, you have to go if you don't go." The Empress Dowager wants to delay, as a prince and concurrently serves as the secretary of Dali Temple, there is a way to delay, and if you quietly hold Dali Temple in your hands, it will be of great benefit in the future. ”

Zhao Hao actually has a trace of extravagant hope for that position in his heart, even if it has not been extinguished even today, listening to Liu Changshi's words, his eyes are dark, faintly flickering, for a long time, he said: "Prepare, go to Dali Temple overnight, and call Cao Zheng, those Shaoqing, and that Geng Rujie." ”

Liu Changshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King, will you be in a hurry and move a little bigger?" ”

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Acting is going to be performed to the end, so I will pretend to be afraid, push off everything, and drag this matter down." Let them fight, let them fight. ”

Liu Changshi realized something and said, "Could it be that this is the purpose of the Empress Dowager?" ”

Zhao Hao was silent for a while and said, "I don't know." The queen mother's mind has always been difficult to guess, I thought she would choose me, who knew that she pretended to support me, and secretly made my eldest nephew's dragon robe. ”

Liu Changshi saw Zhao Hao mention the old thing, knowing that this was his heart knot, and did not answer.

After a long time, Zhao Hao got up and said, "Let's go." ”

Liu Changshi stepped forward to help him and ordered someone to prepare.

Inside the arched hall.

Zhao Xu was still reviewing the transcript, and he frowned deeply at the manuscript in front of him.

This is the book of the Daimyo's Mansion, saying that the official ship that went all the way north, escorting 300,000 yuan, suddenly sank in the river with a strong wind, killing and injuring nearly 100 people, and the local area is salvaging the corpses and the money for the sunken.

Zhao Xu is not exploring whether it is boring, but staring at the '300,000 money', these 300,000 is really 300,000 copper coins, how to load them, and how many things Zhao Xu doesn't know, but at least a dozen boats can be loaded.

Copper coins are the legal tender of the Great Song Dynasty, and more than ninety percent of transactions use copper coins. With the development of the commodity economy, its limitations have become greater and greater, and the amount of money that has always been equal to twenty-five catties is a little larger, and if it is a slightly larger activity, it is necessary to use several wagons to pull several large boxes to trade.

It can be said that in addition to daily use, slightly more expensive transactions are particularly troublesome.

Zhao Xu thought for a long time, his eyes were still staring at this notebook, and said: "Send a message to the household department, and order them to touch the use of Jiaozi across the country, and Yizhou Jiaozi Affairs, Papermaking Institute, etc., will write down the situation clearly and submit it." ”

Chen Pi thought that Zhao Xu was going to ask about Zhao Hao's situation, so he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu ignored the fact that it was about to get dark outside, and all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart, and said, "Then order the household department to touch the situation of my gold and silver, and do a good job of summarizing and submitting it." ”

Chen Pi didn't know why, but he still responded: "Yes." ”

Waiting for Zhao Xu to clean up the notebook on the table, Chen Pi said: "Official, King Yan left the palace, went to Dali Temple, and summoned the seven Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

Zhao Xu didn't care about Zhao Hao at all, let alone the so-called 'Lin Cheng, Chen Chao case', and even the 'Wang Anli case', he didn't care so much.

Now that he has the power and sits firmly on the throne, he is not the one before, and he will not roll up his sleeves and end up in person.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Xu said: "Let them make trouble, get ready, Zhang Qi and the others will return to Beijing, and I will go out of the city for ten miles to meet them." ”

Chen Pi listened, feeling a little uneasy, and said: "Official, there are many people outflow from the city, and the people in the capital are panicking, and it may be a little unpeaceful if you go so far." ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "If it's not safe like this, I will hide in the palace for the rest of my life." ”

Chen Pi saw that Zhao Xu had made up his mind, and secretly thought that he would just bring more people, unless someone rebelled and gathered more than 10,000 people, otherwise there would be no problem.

Zhao Xu finished drinking tea, looked at the outside of the palace, and laughed softly: "Now outside the palace, it must be very lively." ”

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu's gaze and looked out.

At this time, the outside of the palace was indeed very lively.

The 'New Party', which had already entrenched in the court, naturally knew the importance of defending Wang Anli, and attacked Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others like a tide, and all kinds of accusations and exposed evidence were sent to Dali Temple in a queue.

The 'old party' was not far behind, their target was Wang Anli, and they did not argue much for Lin Cheng and many people in the Chen Dynasty, and went all out to attack Wang Anli and the Wang family, and the Wang family, including Wang Anshi, and many other rumors or true or false spread throughout Kaifeng City.

All kinds of slanders against Wang Anshi that have appeared since the Xining period have surfaced again, attacking Wang Anshi for nothing, like a heinous demon.

Even with it, the attack on the 'New Party' was also on a higher level, and Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and other people from the six departments and seven temples all escaped.

The most important thing is that some young scholars in Beijing have joined in, they are even more angry, radical, three or four times to rush into the Dali Temple, and also blocked Geng Rujie's mansion.

Kaifeng Mansion couldn't suppress the bomb and had to implement a curfew.

As soon as the 'curfew' came out, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and even at night in Kaifeng City, there was no peace.

At dawn, the curfew was lifted, and the outside of Dali Temple was suddenly full of people, inside and outside, there were officials, gentry, old and high-ranking officials, and there were also sons who had not entered the office, and there were many people.

Because the Dali Temple of Kaifeng Mansion has not yet been built, it borrowed the Daya of Kaifeng Mansion.

Han Zongdao was in the inner courtyard, watching a group of people go in and out, and his expression was always condensed.

And Yang Hui arrived early in the morning, sitting opposite Han Zongdao, drinking tea slowly.

Han Zongdao didn't want to say anything to him, and he was thinking about this case in his heart.

This case is just an extension of the 'Wang Anli case', but how it is judged is directly related to the trend of the 'Wang Anli case', and it also corresponds to the struggle between the 'old and new' parties in the court situation.

Geng Rujie and the others were busy and nervously preparing.

Outside Kaifeng Mansion, it was full of people, crowded with people, whispering.

As the time approached, the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion was serious and tidy, Han Zongdao and Yang Hui sat on both sides to 'observe'.

Geng Rujie came out of the side door, stood in the table, and glanced at the officials in the big ya, Han Zongdao, and Yang Hui.

Geng Rujie secretly held his breath, this case is concerned by the government and the opposition, not only about the overall situation, but also about his personal future!

The corners of his face twitched, his eyes widened, and he reached out to pick up the startling wood.

"Wait."

Just when Geng Rujie was about to take a picture and shout 'open the hall', a loud shout sounded outside the door, and then I saw Zhao Hao, who was pale and coughing, slowly walking in.

Geng Rujie's eyes immediately froze, he didn't expect Zhao Hao to suddenly intervene and come in, glanced at Yang Hui and Han Zongdao, who were subordinates, bypassed the table, stepped forward and raised his hand: "Your Highness has been seen." ”

Han Zongdao and Yang Hui had different expressions, and then stood up and saluted.

Zhao Hao covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, coughed a few times, and said, "Xiao Wang is here to see, you will judge you." You don't need to be polite, this case is very important, Xiao Wang will come and take a look, so that he can give an explanation to the official family, sit down. ”

As he spoke, Liu Changshi asked people to bring a chair and put it on the left side of the main table of the big ya.

Geng Rujie was extremely vigilant in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, walked back to the main table, took a deep breath, patted the wood in shock, and said in a deep voice: "Open the hall!" ”

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

The official struck the killing stick, and the sound was deep, shaking the entire government.

Zhao Hao, Yang Hui, and Han Zongdao almost unanimously put on a serious expressionless look.

The officials escorted Chen Chao, and Lin Cheng entered the government, neither of them wore any shackles, their clothes were clean, their hair was neat, and they were obviously not hurt at all.

The two stood in the lobby, glanced at Yang Hui, and saw Han Zongdao and Yan Wang Zhao Hao, their expressions did not move, nor did they see courtesy, let alone kneel.

Geng Rujie looked at the two of them, and then at a kind of onlookers outside the Daya, and behind them, it seemed that he saw countless eyes, Cao Zheng, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, and even Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao!

Geng Rujie's face was like iron, and he said in a deep voice: "Give them the guilt." Lin Cheng, Chen Chao, the two of you are 'not honorable as the king, and you are in trouble', can you plead guilty? ”

Chen Chao, Lin Cheng took the charge handed over by the master, just glanced at it, and Lin Cheng, who had a simple face, said categorically: "The lower officials admit that there is corruption and personal morality. But it is the duty of a courtier to advise His Majesty, and it is his duty to support the gains and losses of the court. ”

Chen Chao even said in a deep voice: "Sending us to prison is the powerful minister's suppression of dissidents and the cultivation of private individuals!" Although we are guilty, we are not guilty of such a crime as 'dishonoring the monarch and causing chaos to the dynasty'! Geng Rujie, you are a 'law changer', Cao Zheng, and a person from Zhangdun, you are complicit in framing the courtiers, I don't admit any of these charges! ”

Without waiting for Geng Rujie to react, the people outside suddenly started talking.

"Is this the wrong crime in Dali Temple? Isn't it enough to use corruption to punish crime? ”

"Yes, these people have pleaded guilty themselves, why not on other charges?"

"No, why do they say so much? Obviously confessed his guilt, and still said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, like a loyal minister? ”

"Shhh......h

Yang Hui didn't seem to hear anything, just fake sleep.

Han Zongdao frowned, Lin Cheng and Chen Chao did this, they were retreating as advances, admitting corruption and personal morality, then they were determined to deny such a serious crime as 'not honoring the monarch and causing chaos to the dynasty', and at the same time firmly determined that the 'Wang Anli case' was undoubted.

Zhao Hao sat on the chair, his handkerchief kept covering his mouth, his head lowered, and no one could see his expression clearly.

Geng Rujie's expression remained unchanged, he had long expected that the two would not recognize it, so he directly took another case file and said, "Hand it to them." More than a dozen people were arrested with you, and they alleged that you coerced them by means of 'coercion and inducement', promising to give them official positions, money, family arrangements, etc., and if you did not comply, you would file a complaint and expose their crimes. ”

This time, Lin Cheng and Chen Chao said almost in unison: "It's not true!" ”
