Chapter 221: Degraded to a commoner

Su Song is old in Huan Hai, and he is also a human spirit, and he contacted the court situation in an instant, and vaguely guessed Zhao Xu's intentions, but he was still deeply silent.

Zhao Ji is indeed still a child, but the current political situation is not.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the twilight years, at least in the prime of life, what should I do if I make a mistake in the prime of life?

The fault of the prime of life comes from the accumulation of time, and it has already invaded the bone marrow over the years, and it cannot be treated without major drugs.

But just like Zhao Ji, if he is twenty years old, what can the court do with him? It's nothing more than a punishment and exile.

The Great Song Dynasty can't even kill officials, can't be imprisoned, can only be exiled, not to mention a close relative of the clan, the younger brother of the official family!

Su Song pondered for a long time and said, "Official, big mistakes are punished, small mistakes are punished." Based on the present, do not look back on the past. ”

He played a trick and didn't discuss specific matters, just 'just talk about things', and still came to the sentence 'don't look back on the past'.

Zhao Xu didn't argue with him, turned his head to look at Zhao Ji, and saw that he was still shouting arrogantly, his eyes slowly narrowed, his heart turned, and he said slowly and lightly: "What if I die suddenly and Zhao Ji succeeds to the throne?" ”

When this sentence fell, the expressions of the people around Zhao Xu who could hear it changed suddenly, and the needles could be heard!

Cai You's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and cold sweat was dripping on his head.

Chen Pi, Hu Zhongwei and others were even tighter at the corners of their faces, they didn't dare to breathe, their eyes widened, and they looked at Zhao Xu with horror.

Su Song's heart was even more shaken, looking at Zhao Xu, he was speechless for a while.

The official family in front of him was only eighteen years old, and it was when he was young, how could he suddenly die.

But since he talked about 'death', it shows that the matter is not trivial!

Su Song forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly thought about it.

If you say, if you say, if you say ...... The official family in front of him died suddenly, the eleventh brother, the heir of Zhao Ji, the king of Suining County, and the ten-year-old Zhao Ji, can he suppress the court situation in front of him?

Su Song had already seen a mess in front of his eyes, party strife was everywhere, traitors were rampant, all kinds of chaos were piled up, and even the border was defeated, and Kaifeng was in danger!

His thoughts raced very fast, and he quickly returned to his eyes.

In front of him, Zhao Ji pinched his waist and scolded Zhu Qianzhen, Zhu Qianzhen dared to be angry with a blue face, but there were many people around, and there were many people hiding.

This seems to be some kind of foreshadowing.

Su Song understood.

Su Song straightened his face and said in a very calm tone: "Official, what are you going to do with the King of Suining?" ”

Zhao Xu glanced at Su Song, and then at Cai You, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and said indifferently: "Cai You, your father is also here, but he didn't show up, do you know why?" ”

Cai You appeared here in order to settle Zhao Ji's affairs, Zhao Ji shouted his name three times and twice, plus Zhao Xu's words just now 'died, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne', Cai You is now full of cold sweat, his heart is terrified to the extreme, where can he still think, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, I don't know." ”

Zhao Xu raised his hand, glanced at the rooms on both sides, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Because I have a heart, I hide a secret." ”

In other words, Cai You might be able to understand it, but at this moment, his head hit the ground, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Zhao Xu didn't expect him to answer, and said, "I hope you don't be like your father." ”

Cai You suddenly understood, kowtowed violently, knocked the green bricks on the ground, and said urgently: "The minister is guilty!" The minister will never dare to deceive the official family in the future! ”

Cai Jing did come, on the second floor of a teahouse not far behind Zhao Xu and the others, quietly watching from the window.

Seeing Cai You kowtowing on the ground again and again, the corners of his mean face twitched.

I hope this rebel doesn't bother me. He whispered in his heart.

Zhao Xu ignored Cai You, who kowtowed repeatedly, looked at Zhao Ji, and said, "Come with me." ”

As he spoke, he walked directly towards Zhao Ji.

Chen Pi, Su Song immediately followed, Cai You was bloody, and hurriedly got up and followed behind Zhao Xu.

There were people hiding around who didn't come out, and when they watched Zhao Xu walk over, their expressions hesitated.

Cai Jing hesitated again and again, but did not show up after all.

The guards opened the crowd and escorted Zhao Xu into the 'circle' controlled by the Inspection Division.

The first person to see Zhao Xu was Zhao Yan, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the carriage, staring at Zhao Xu intently, his body stiffened, and he subconsciously reached out to grab Zhao Ji's clothes.

Zhao Ji was so angry that he opened his hand and said angrily: "If you don't help me, forget it, what are you doing with me......?"

Before the words fell, he noticed the silence around him, turned his head to look, and immediately saw Zhao Xu walking into the 'circle' under the escort of a group of people.

His angry face suddenly disappeared, and he blinked, suddenly jumped out of the carriage, turned around and ran.

The other guards and inspection departments, all who knew Zhao Xu, their faces changed in shock, and they saluted one after another: "See the official family (Your Majesty)!" ”

Zhu Qianzhen looked at Zhao Xu, déjà vu, he remembered that he had entered the palace to attend a banquet many years ago, and had seen the little boy standing next to Concubine Zhu, who was very similar to the silhouette of the young man in front of him who was a little taller than him.

Zhu Qianzhen quickly woke up, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Zhu Qianzhen, a grass person, see the official family." ”

The surrounding people reacted and knelt on the ground in surprise and horror.

Actually, the emperor was brought in!

Zhao Xu stood expressionlessly, glanced at Zhu Qianzhen, and then saw that Zhao Ji was arrested by the guards.

Zhao Ji tightened his little face, stiffened his neck, and looked very stubborn.

Zhao seemed to get down from the carriage at this moment and stood in front of Zhao Xu honestly.

Zhao Xu looked at them, swept around again, and said, "Zhao Ji, you say, what should I do with you?" ”

Zhao Ji stood in front of Zhao Xu, unwilling and afraid, glanced at Zhu Qianzhen, grinded his teeth, and said in a sullen voice: "I know it's wrong." ”

Chen Pi didn't dare to speak, lowered his head, and wondered what Zhao Xu would do with it.

In front of everyone's eyes, it is not suitable to be light, and it is not appropriate to be heavy.

Su Song had a calm old face and kept observing Zhao Xu.

Zhao Ji's matter reflects the current court situation, and how to deal with Zhao Ji means how Zhao Xu wants to deal with the current political affairs.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Ji, a ten-year-old bastard, carved in powder, and his whole body was full of cleverness.

In Zhao Xu's eyes, this little bastard grew up quickly, and vaguely saw the embarrassing scene of more than 20 years later, when the Jin people went south, Zhao Ji fled in a hurry with tens of millions of money, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers and half of the Great Song Dynasty.

Then, he thought of Zhao Ji's two sons, one is Song Qinzong and the other is Song Gaozong, one by one, one by one, one is more than a bastard!

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu resolutely did not allow such a situation to happen again!

His eyes were indifferent, the corners of his face were cold and hard, and he said lightly: "Spread the decree to deprive Zhao Ji, the king of Suining County, of all titles, official positions, gifts, and rewards, and confined him in the palace." ”

Chen Pi was taken aback, such a punishment, the word 'severe' is no longer enough to describe!

Su Song's old face tightened, and his heart felt like he had been hit hard.

This punishment is indeed not enough to be described as severe, Zhao Ji is only ten years old, that is, he humiliated people on the street, did not kill people and set fires, so he was demoted to a commoner, which can be described as extremely severe!

Converted to government affairs, the official family is going to unswervingly implement the new law, and the favored brother can deal with it so decisively, not to mention political affairs!

Su Song understood.
