Chapter 106: Monarchs and Ministers All Kill (Ask for Collection~)
The voice about Lu Dafang outside gradually became stronger.
Some impeachments, with fierce rhetoric; Some of the arguments are like a tide.
Zhao Xu had been waiting for someone to keep coming to him, talking about this matter, interceding for Lu Dafang, and protecting the courtiers' privilege of 'not punishing the doctor', but he didn't expect that the first one would be Zongzheng Temple Siqing.
The relationship between Zongzheng Temple and the Great Song Dynasty royal family is self-evident, and this temple secretary does not seem to stand on Zhao Xu's position.
In the end, he is also an old-fashioned civil official!
Zhao Xu knew that this was just the beginning, so he took the teacup beside him, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Li Qing's family, the three divisions of the yamen have a deficit of three million, and the military salary of Huanqing Road has disappeared with three million, all of which are inextricably linked to the Lu family, do you say that 'virtue is not worthy'?" β
Li Gongyan's face was solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty, even if Lu Xianggong has no way to teach his son, it will not affect his conduct. Lu Xianggong has a grand reputation in the government and the opposition, and the people in the world are expected and respected as his father. And, even if there were, the decree was reprimanded, and the derogatory was just. How can he show His Majesty's leniency if he is so strict with Zaifu in the first day? The court is the most peaceful, and should not be killed with a cane and imprisoned...... Your Majesty's decency, the court's decency, and the decency of my Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't Your Majesty take care of one or two? β
It makes sense!
Zhao Xu looked at Li Gongyan and took a sip of tea gently, his eyes flickering slightly.
Li Gongyan's words are probably the thoughts of a considerable number of people in the government and the opposition, or the vast majority of people. If a courtier makes a mistake, he will be punished with a small punishment and a big commandment, and he will be reprimanded or distributed, and the emperor should be pot-bellied, how can he arrest people and send them to prison?
Zhao Xu put down the teacup and said: "In the eyes of Li Qing's family, Lu Xianggong is probably 'godson without a way' or 'unworthy of virtue', he should be reprimanded or degraded." Then, has Li Qing's family seen the bad influence brought by Lu Dafang and others? β
Li Gongyan frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that everything should not be too much. Even if the courtiers are at fault, they should be dealt with according to the ancestral system. Thou shalt not slay with the rod as you please. My Great Song Dynasty has always ruled the country with leniency and benevolence, and ruled over all the people. Your Majesty threatens the courtiers with authority, life and death, and it is not the work of the Holy Monarch, please think twice. β
Still makes sense!
Chen Pi stood aside and listened, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, and stood up quietly. He knew very well in his heart that if the words of this Zongzheng Temple Siqing did not like the officials, this one might be unlucky.
Zhao Xu looked at Li Gongyan and thought slowly in his heart.
Li Gongyan's words represent the thoughts of the current government and opposition civil officials. It won't be long before countless scripts and people will come to see the Vertical Arch Hall, saying the same thing.
It must be blocked!
Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed, he didn't like such a clichΓ©, the courtiers needed to learn what awe was and what was proportion!
In particular, the decadent atmosphere that is erosive and unbearable must be changed!
Zhao Xu looked up at Li Gongyan and said lightly: "Li Qingjia, you are sorry for what you say." β
Li Gongyan was not afraid, raised his hand calmly, and said, "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." β
Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Do you know what the three million deficit of the Sansi Yamen means?" It means a month's worth for hundreds of thousands of people! What does the disappearance of the three million military salaries on Huanqing Road mean? It means that the frontier is in danger! In Kaifeng City, they are up and down, wanton corruption, ignoring the hardships and lives of the people, regardless of the safety of the frontier and the safety of the soldiers! The poor and restless people are my subjects, the soldiers who guard the frontier regardless of their lives are my subjects, and in Kaifeng City, regardless of their life or death, it is also my subjects who ignore our Great Song Dynasty army and people and enrich themselves! Now, one of my subjects wants to dig up the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, dig up the walls of my Great Song Dynasty, and suck the marrow of my Great Song Dynasty, but you come to tell me that I want to be lenient? Have you asked the people, the soldiers, if they want such mercy? Reader, for the country and the people, Li Gongyan, what are you studying for?! Is it for these corrupt officials, or so that you can be like them? There will be this day in the future, and I will be forgiving! β
The more Zhao Xu spoke, the more stern he became, and in the end, his face was full of anger and he slammed the table.
boom
The muffled sound on the table made the atmosphere of the vertical arch hall seem to be suffocating.
Chen Pi stiffened his face, bowed slightly, and looked at Li Gongyan with an extremely unkind look.
Li Gongyan looked slightly startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister doesn't dare." β
The more Zhao Xu spoke, the more angry he became, and said coldly: "Then why didn't you sign Lu Dafang's script?" β
Li Gongyan didn't expect Zhao Xu's reaction to be so fierce, he just 'gave a normal advice', feeling Zhao Xu's anger, the corners of his face moved, and said, "The minister was ...... Ignorance. β
Zhao Xu stared at him coldly and said, "Both ends of the first rat!" Come on, pull it out, stick eighty, depose all official positions, exile Lingnan, never forgive! β
Li Gongyan was frightened, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what mistakes he has made, please make it clear to Your Majesty!" β
Zhao Xu's expression became more and more indifferent, and said, "Okay, well, then I will tell you!" First, Lu Dafang held the authority, bullied the king, blocked the way of speech, and misled the country for so long, you are the Siqing of Zongzheng Temple, don't you know? Second, Lu Dafang formed a party for personal gain, and his henchmen crisscrossed the government and the opposition, wantonly excluding dissidents, and attacking opponents, doesn't this violate the ancestral system? Third, the Lu family is so deeply involved in the fraud case of the three divisions of the yamen. The Lu family has millions of assets, and so many things are happening inside and outside the Lu family, haven't you heard and seen it at all?! Lu Dafang has so many things, I can't kill him a hundred times! Li Gongyan, do you not see it, are you blind, or do you deliberately turn a blind eye and deliberately come here to say this, to embarrass me, so as to show the world your loyalty! Li Gongyan, you are stepping on my invitation, you are bold! Isn't that enough for you! β
Li Gongyan's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes kept blinking in fear, his back was cold, and he was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say at all.
Everyone knows what the imperial court looks like, but they are all 'used to it', and no one cares. Seeing that Zhao Xu, an official, had stabbed these things, Li Gongyan didn't know how to respond at all, and he was afraid of eighty rods, exiled to Lingnan, kneeling on the ground, trembling, and not saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Nothing to say?" β
Li Gongyan still wanted to struggle, but the fear in his heart made him unable to say a word.
Zhao Xu was too lazy to speak, and waved his hand.
Chen Pi couldn't bear it anymore for a long time, and shouted directly: "Are all the people dead?" Pull it out! β
Immediately, four guards rushed in and dragged Li Gongyan out.
Li Gongyan's throat moved, as if he still wanted to say something, and in response to Zhao Xu's cold gaze, he was finally paralyzed and pulled away by the guards.
Outside the vertical arch hall, Li Gongyan's screams soon sounded. But before it reached eighty hits, there was no movement outside.
A janissary came in and said, "Your Majesty, people...... He's dead. β
Zhao Xu snorted and said, "If you die, you will die, let Zhang Xianggong re-select a Zongzheng Temple Siqing, is my Great Song Dynasty missing an official?" β
The guards did not dare to speak, and bowed down to withdraw.
Chen Pi pursed his lips, secretly feeling happy for Zhao Xu in his heart.
Zhao Xu was also very happy, his mood was much better, and he continued to look at the information, he was mainly looking at the 'Qingmiao Method', and he was seriously examining it.
Just when Zhao Xu and Chen Pi Junchen were happy, the two things of 'Li Gongyan of Zongzheng Temple Temple in front of the official vertical arch hall' and 'Zhang Dian Xianggong killed the inspection department of the inspection department on the street to inspect the Song chain' were quickly interpreted in Kaifeng City, like having wings, and spread all over the streets and alleys, high-ranking officials' mansions, and tile stacks.
