His father was sentenced to a 'decisive decision' on the spot, and Cai You was so frightened that he wanted to suffocate.

Zhao Xu quietly looked at Cai You's back, and said to Chen Pi: "You go and keep an eye on it." ”

In the dormitory, except for Zhao Xu and Queen Meng, there is only Chen Pi.

Chen Pi turned to the side and said, "Yes." With that, he hurried out.

When Empress Meng saw that everyone was gone, she quietly raised her breath and was ready to tell Zhao Xu that she had something to do.

Zhao Xu was very sleepy, patted Queen Meng's leg, and said, "I just drank the medicine, I'm a little sleepy, sleep with me for a while." ”

Empress Meng's words were suddenly gagged, she looked at Zhao Xu's pale, tired face, after today, she also understood how much pressure Zhao Xu faced every day, answered gently, took off her shoes, and slept next to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu exhaled lightly, hugged Empress Meng, and closed his eyes.

Empress Meng leaned on Zhao Xu's shoulder, pursed her lips, looked at Zhao Xu's side face, and thought to herself, wait until you wake up.

The palace, which was originally tight inside and loose outside, quickly returned to normal because of Zhao Xu's awakening.

Su Song, Zhang Dian and other ministers of the political affairs hall, plus a few books, escorted Cai Jing and Yang Wei to the political affairs hall.

In the political affairs hall, Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian were sitting, and the others were standing behind, and Cai Jing and Yang Wei were pressed to their knees by the guards.

The two guards searched Cai Jing and Yang Wei for a while, and in addition to money, there was only one official document.

The guards didn't look at it, and put everything in front of Su Song: "Xianggong." ”

Su Song indifferently picked up one of the notebooks, just looked at it, his eyes suddenly opened, his face was shocked, and he was afraid at the same time.

Su Song secretly contemplated, thinking that it was no wonder that the official family was angry, and he directly made a decision.

He glanced at Cai You, who was standing not far away, and vaguely thought of something in his heart, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't look at Yang Wei anymore, and directly pushed it to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Dian picked it up, opened it and looked at it, there was no discoloration on his face, he just looked at Cai Jing's, and then pushed it to Cai Bian.

Cai Bian looked at the two people in front of him, even though he was prepared, when he looked at Cai Jing and Yang Wei's two playbooks, his face still changed abruptly, and he was secretly shocked, and then he couldn't help but look at Cai You.

This person is the son of Cai Jing, who is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a cronie of the official family, and it is entirely possible for him to get the Empress Dowager Gao out of the Cining Palace!

Cai Bian suddenly felt a chill in his heart, that kind of scene has always been avoided by them, but they didn't expect that there was Cai You's mistake!

Fortunately, it's still too late!

Many of the people behind the three ministers stretched out their heads and saw some of them, and they were shocked.

These two people are really bold!

However, thinking about the past of the two, it doesn't seem so strange that they are shameless and traitorous and often apostatize.

Su Song was on crutches, looked at Cai Jing and Yang Wei who were kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Cai Jing's face was a look of melancholy and confusion.

He has been a franchise all his life, and he is careful every step of the way, who knows, he will eventually be defeated at the hands of his own son!

Yang Wei was even more frightened, raised his head, looked at Su Song, and said urgently: "Su Xianggong, I, I am wronged, it is all Cai Jing, he forced me to write it, I am just an accomplice, ask Su Xiang to be gracious, ask Su Xiang to be gracious, ask Su Xiang to be gracious......"

He kowtowed repeatedly, and blood came out of his head.

Su Song and the others behind him looked at it expressionlessly, Yang Wei was known as 'Yang Sanchang', and he was a fickle traitor. No one likes the government and the opposition, if it weren't for the fact that he had made a meritorious contribution to Lu Dafang at that time, he would not have been able to do the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Now, Cai Jing and Yang Wei have been kicked out, and most people in the court are happy.

Chen Pi hugged the floating dust, just listened, and didn't say a word.

No one cared about Yang Wei's shouting of grievances, Su Song was silent for a while, and said to Zhang Dian: "What do you think? ”

Zhang Dian had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and said lightly: "Shao is the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

Su Song frowned, understood what he meant, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wang Cun is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Cai Bian and several Shangshu behind him glanced at each other, did not speak, and listened to the two bigwigs divide the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Dian looked at Cai Jing and Yang Wei, his eyes were sharp, his tone was as rigid, and he said: "Confessing to the same party will not cause trouble to your family." ”

Cai Jing didn't raise his head, and he didn't say a word.

Yang Wei hurriedly said: "Please be gracious to Xiang Zhang, when Xiang Xiang stopped the first emperor from killing scholars, can't he stop the official family from killing us today?" ”

Emperor Shenzong wanted to kill an official because of the failure of the conquest of Western Xia. As a result, Sima Guang and others stopped it, Cai Qu, and Zhang Dian also stopped it.

In the end, that Cao official was just assigned, and Emperor Shenzong's murderous edict was not over, and no one mentioned it. All of them knew it as if it didn't exist.

Zhang Dian ignored it and said, "Bring pen and ink." ”

The few Shangshu behind them had been watching quietly, and they actually wanted to say something about the ancestral precept of 'not killing scholars'. But in the Zichen Palace, there is still a smell of blood in front of the vertical arch hall, and if you say the words 'don't kill scholars', it looks pale and powerless.

Yang Wei glanced at Cai Jing, who had been silent, his eyes flickered, his face was full of resentment, he still picked up the pen, wrote a few names, suddenly shook the pen, and said angrily at Zhang Dian and others: "I am waiting for today, that is, you are waiting for tomorrow, and it is too early to be happy!" ”

Zhang Dian ignored him, took a few names he wrote, and said, "Huang Zhongcheng, check it out." ”

Huang Lu is the middle of the imperial history, and immediately stepped forward to take it, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the next official will receive the order!" ”

Zhang Dian was still thinking in his heart, to use this matter to kick all the 'dissident' people out of the court, Yu Guang glanced at Su Song, and said: "All ministries must conduct a self-examination, and the incident of Kaifeng Mansion must not happen a second time!" If there are any parties that resist the great policies of the imperial court, secretly collude, and sabotage, the official will directly ask you for the crime! ”

Lin Xi, General Xu and the others raised their hands and said, "The lower officials will receive the order." ”

Seeing that Su Song didn't speak, Zhang Dian said again: "The Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial Historical Observatory are ready to inspect officials across the country for a period of one year, and the year-end evaluation will be used as the main basis for the promotion of officials at all levels. ”

Su Song's expression immediately moved, and said, "This matter will be decided after the political affairs hall will discuss it in detail." Right now, I've taken care of these two people first. Someone came, escorted to the Criminal Department, and then sent to Dali Temple, immediately sentenced to quell the rumors outside the palace! ”

"Yes."

A pair of guards came in and dragged Cai Jing and Yang Wei out.

These two people, one silent, the other angry.

Cai Jing looked at him coldly, and instead of looking at Su Song and Zhang Dian, he looked at Cai You.

Cai You lowered his head, his expression seemed to be afraid and regretful, and he struggled in pain.

Yang Wei was shouting and shouting: "The dynasty is corrupted, the ancestral system does not exist, the officials raise the butcher's knife, and the corporal of the world trembles, is this your 'new law' and 'new deal'?" If you are unpopular, you will fail! ”

The faces of the crowd suddenly sank, including Su Song, whose faces were not good-looking.

This Yang Wei is also a person who opposes the change of the law! It's just because of power and distorted minds!

Zhang Dian was not surprised, Yang Wei was originally Lu Dafang's person, he was thinking about the court situation in his heart, and planned how to clean up and create a rock-solid 'new law' court!

Zhang Dan's eyes were like electricity, and he suddenly glanced at Cai You not far away, and said, "You come with me." ”

As he spoke, he got up and left the government hall and headed for the blue tile house.

Cai You followed behind him, looking afraid.

He was uneasy in his heart, and now life and death were in Zhang Dan's words, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

The two entered the green tile house one after the other, but after a stick of incense, Cai You ran out quickly with cold sweat on his head, gritted his teeth, and ran out quickly.

This made Cai Bian, who had just come back, stunned, and after entering, he said to Zhang Tun: "Kaifeng Mansion, should we go there?" ”

Zhang Dun sat on the stool, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and said, "No need." Everything went according to plan. ”

There was so much going on today that Cai Bian needed time to calm down, nodded and sat down in his chair.

At this time, Kaifeng Funai.

Han Zongdao was giving a lecture to the two official affairs and the sixteen prefects, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said in a deep voice: "As an official of the imperial court, you must carefully follow the decrees, and don't have too much to do with it. Especially for rumors, you can't believe it, you can't spread it, and you can't rise to the imperial court! ”

"At the beginning of the 'new law', everyone must work together, not half-heartedly, looking left and right!"

"This official has already seen the official family, and the official family is so alive, don't ask again!"

Cao Zheng and the others listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Zongdao said this, most of them were true, and he would not fool them on such an occasion.

"The first thing, measure the acres, starting today!"

"The second thing, census population, starts today!"

"These two things must be fully implemented, no one can stop them, they must be clearly understood, and there must be no perfunctory responsibility!"

"This official knows that over the years, the population of your people has been decreasing, and if such a thing happens again, they will be severely punished."

The officials at all levels of Kaifeng Mansion standing in the hall were secretly frightened.

They all know that the imperial court has made a big determination this time, and it is unprecedentedly serious and completely going to do these things.

Doing so will lift countless lids, and no one knows how much filth is hidden in them.

And before that, there will be countless people who will prevent the imperial court from lifting these lids.

Han Zongdao announced in a low voice that outside Kaifeng Mansion, all kinds of rumor-refuting notices were posted all over the city.

The rumors were slightly contained, and another incident was quickly covered up, causing a huge shock in Kaifeng City.

Cai Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were sentenced to 'beheading and confiscation of family property' on charges of 'corruption and dereliction of duty, capriciousness, attacking the new policy, disloyalty to His Majesty, and bad intentions'.

The two were escorted to the execution ground.

The people along the way, stones, leaves, and rotten eggs desperately greeted them.

"It's this Cai Jing, who ruined my family, traitor!"

"Yang Sanbian, a traitorous villain, deserves it!"

"Dali Temple judged well, kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The people shouted, and the guards were also affected, urging them to hurry away.

Cai Jing was wearing prison uniforms, shackled, the corners of his face became more and more mean, and his expression was indifferent.

It was Yang Wei, holding his neck, with an unwilling face.

The execution ground, which was originally used to execute those extremely vicious criminals, has never been escorted here, not to mention, it is still two dignified books!

The warden sat in his chair, his face expressionless, but his legs trembled under his feet.

Beheaded two second-grade Shangshu, this is something that has never happened in the dynasty, right?

At least not in his memory!

The onlookers were still shouting and scolding, and it also attracted many scholars, government and opposition officials to be officials, these people had solemn faces and obscure expressions.

What a thrilling scene this is, the imperial court wants to behead two Shangshu, the founding of the Great Song Dynasty has never been!

They are all going to be officials or already officials, will they also have this day?

Many people looked at each other quietly, looking alert and worried.

The warden looked at the sun, turned to the sundial again, picked up the arrow, and shouted in a deep voice: "Execution!" ”

The moment the arrow was thrown on the ground, the body of the prison officer also flickered, and his eyes were afraid.

Today, a precedent has been set for killing civil officials, and in the future, will it be written in the history books that he was the first executioner to kill a soldier?

On the execution ground, the executioner took a sip of wine and spit on the big knife, the two of them were calm and calm in the past, but now they are a little flustered.

What they want to cut is two Shangshu and two products, and they can't even stammering in the past!

Cai Jing was already desperate and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Yang Wei was resentful, and he didn't know who to turn to, so he shouted: "You change, change, you will regret it sooner or later!" The history books will not say that you are the ministers of Zhongxing, and the changes since ancient times will not end well! You in the history books will all be traitors, thieves of the country, and you will be stinking for 10,000 years! ”

No one paid any attention to them, and the executioner raised his knife high in the sun's rays.

At this moment, the originally noisy execution ground suddenly quieted down, and I don't know how many people stared at the two knives, slowly worrying about their hearts, as if they were caught by something.

Especially those scholars, they held their breath and stared wide.

Click

Click

Two crisp sounds sounded, and two human heads rolled on the execution ground.

The birds were silent, and the people who had watched the excitement before were no longer angry before.

Everyone looked at the rolling human head, the surging blood, and froze for a moment.

The two Shangshu, the second-rank masters, were executed right in front of their eyes!

The silence of the execution ground quickly spread to the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

The first reaction of everyone who hears this exact news is silence.

They may still be looking forward to turning around, after all, the Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars, even if the official family killed two people with a rod before, it can be understood as a dementia under anger, but this time, it is really an execution.

Moreover, it is still two Shangshu!

The iron law of 'not killing soldiers' is gone!

Too many people suddenly became anxious and uneasy, as if something most important had been lost inexplicably.

Royal Street.

In a teahouse, Zhu Qianzhen was drinking tea, but instead of being idle and elegant, she frowned and was anxious.

Just as Cai Jing and Yang Wei were executed, a young man hurriedly ran over and whispered in his ear: "Dongjia, find out, the official family is really fine." ”

"Are you sure?" Zhu Qianzhen said with surprise and joy.

The young man nodded and said, "The eldest lady has seen the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is normal, and the palace is also normal, not that kind of situation." ”

Zhu Qianzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "Now it is really difficult to distinguish between true and false things, and I was almost frightened." ”

Seeing that there was no one around, the young man said in a low voice, "Boss, what now?" The shopkeeper has to live and die for three hundred habits, and he won't let it at all. ”

Zhu Qianzhen relieved his breath, began to think normally, nodded, and said: "That position, at most two hundred habits, he wants this price, just because he sees that I want to buy it, and he wants to kill me." ”

The young man said, "Boss, do you have to be that place?" Not to mention the Royal Street, there are more suitable places in Kaifeng City. ”

Zhu Qianzhen didn't speak, looked up to the north, here, you can directly see Xuande Gate.

Zhu Qianzhen looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go, continue to talk." ”

The young man was suddenly unhappy, and said: "The owner, go back, that person did it on purpose, and it would be a loss of face to go......"

Zhu Qianzhen smiled faintly and said, "Today is different. ”

Seeing that Zhu Qianzhen had already stood up, the young man hurriedly followed and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"It's time to go on the court."

Zhu Qianzhen said with a smile.

The young man is getting more and more confused, the court is open, what do we care about?

Zhu Qianzhen didn't know how to explain, and went straight to the shop he fancied.

This is a restaurant, which was closed last year to be resold, but since he asked the price, it has risen from 150 yuan all the way to 300 yuan!

When Zhu Qianzhen came to this restaurant, an obese middle-aged man sat in front of the door, shaving his teeth, basking in the sun, looking at Zhu Qianzhen coming over, and just said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you seem to be bound to win my restaurant." ”

Zhu Qianzhen didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns when buying a restaurant, which made this dead fat man see his attitude and repeatedly increase the price.

Zhu Qianzhen smiled on her face, raised her hand, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, three hundred times, I want it." ”

This fat man's name is Li Hengqiu, he looked at Zhu Qianzhen for a moment, and then smiled more and more, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you are late, there were people last night, and there were four hundred times." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately became anxious and said, "You are talking nonsense! Your restaurant, at most 200 guan, who would be stupid to sell 400 guan! You can buy two of them elsewhere! ”

Li Hengqiu lay on the chair and said leisurely: "Someone can produce 300 guan, why can't there be 400 guan?" ”

The young man's angry little face turned pale, and he turned to Zhu Qianzhen and said, "Shopkeeper, let's change places!" ”

Li Hengqiu raised the price to 400 guan, and if they wanted to buy it, they would have to get 450 guan, or even 500 guan!

At this price, you can buy three such restaurants!

Zhu Qianzhen looked as usual, looked at Li Hengqiu, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you just tell me the truth, do you want to sell or don't want to sell?" ”

Li Hengqiu shaved his teeth, squinted at him, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Zhu, if you want to buy it, it's actually very simple, five hundred yuan." ”

Zhu Qianzhen's face finally became a little ugly, this Li Hengqiu, is this going to kill him?

This is the first task given to him by the official, and it must be completed beautifully, not to be wronged!

Zhu Qianzhen looked left and right, this is the center of the Royal Street, it is naturally not good to open a restaurant, I don't know how many roads there are, but as a ticket number, it is indeed the most suitable!

Zhu Qianzhen took a deep breath, stared at Li Hengqiu, and said, "There must be a reason why I am so embarrassed, Shopkeeper Li, we don't talk darkly, what is it for?" If he had offended before, Zhu Qianzhen would have made amends here. ”

Looking at Zhu Qianzhen, who raised his hand and looked sincere, Li Hengqiu sneered and said, "You are quite smart." The reason is very simple, you let the king of Suining County be demoted to a concubine and offended the official family, how can I sell the restaurant to you? ”

Zhu Qianzhen was stunned, he thought about it, but he couldn't think that it would be this reason?

Zhu Qianzhen opened her mouth and was speechless for a while.

Li Hengqiu saw that Zhu Qianzhen was 'deflated', smiled more, and said: "It's not just me here, the whole street is like this, the entire Kaifeng Mansion, you don't want to buy a shop." After all, you can't tell you if you're going to go in one day, and you're going to be in vain. ”

Zhu Qianzhen looked at the proud Li Hengqiu, his expression was silent for a while, and he suddenly whispered a few words in the ear of the young man with an angry face.

The young man was stunned, glared at Li Hengqiu again, and strode away.

Seeing that there was no one, Zhu Qianzhen stepped forward, leaned over and said in Li Hengqiu's ear: "I was ordered to choose a place for Jiaoziwu. ”

Li Hengqiu originally sneered, then frowned, and said, "Jiaoziwu? Of the imperial court? ”

Zhu Qianzhen stood up and said lightly: "I know, it's not just His Highness Eleven, you are embarrassed for me, either the people behind you want to befriend the official family or something, or because of my relationship with the official family, deliberately embarrassing me." But I broke through this layer, the people behind you should know the severity, I'm here waiting for your reply, one hundred and fifty times, not one more. ”

Li Hengqiu looked at Zhu Qianzhen, saw that he was not joking, frowned, paused for a while, slowly got up, and wanted to go inside.

Zhu Qianzhen stood in place, waiting quietly.

In less than a stick of incense, Li Hengqiu came back, looked at Zhu Qianzhen, and said hesitantly: "It's okay to sell it to you, but I want to cooperate with you once." ”

Zhu Qianzhen snorted and said, "Shopkeeper Li, if you weigh the weight, don't break yourself, but also involve the proprietor behind you." ”

Li Hengqiu smiled and said, "It's just business, don't steal or rob." ”

Zhu Qianzhen knew that Li Hengqiu still didn't believe him, or wanted to test him.

At this time, a fat man who seemed to be honest walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

When Zhu Qianzhen saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand respectfully: "Zhu Qianzhen has seen Wu Shilang." ”

Wu Juhou put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and said a little angrily: "It's time to open the dynasty, I have a bunch of things, what do you want me to run?" ”

Zhu Qianzhen raised his hand and said, "Wu Shilang, I have already chosen a good place." It can be renovated within half a month, and I specially invite Wu Shilang to take a look, and I also want to ask about the next regulations. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Juhou's small eyes blinked, looked at the place, and then nodded, "Yes, this place is good." I'll go to the Ministry of Engineering later, let them build it, and in addition, the Ministry of War will also go and send you some people. ”

Wu Juhou completely ignored Li Hengqiu, but Li Hengqiu was dumbfounded.

He didn't know Wu Juhou, but a 'Wu Shilang' and going to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War still made him feel terrified.

Who is behind this Zhu Qianzhen?

Zhu Qianzhen listened to Wu Juhou's words and nodded constantly.

Wu Juhou is the head of the household department, and is in charge of the transfer department, with great power, and almost all the money and grain operations of the Great Song Dynasty are in his hands.

This 'ticket number' naturally needs his full help!

Wu Juhou put his hands behind his back and looked at the dilapidated restaurant, his little eyes were full of thinking and coloring.

His resume is very rich, especially in the 'money and food', he is a recognized financial master in the imperial court, and the imperial court is short of money, and the first thing that comes to mind is him!

The transportation of money and grain in the Great Song Dynasty basically relied on Cao Yun, and it was particularly troublesome to go back and forth, and the fire consumption was extremely serious.

If there is a subordinate business, that is, the 'ticket number' in Zhu Qianzhen's mouth, it can not only solve the problem of fire consumption, but also greatly improve efficiency, curb corruption and many other wonderful uses.
