Chapter 273: Please see clearly, what is counter-killing
In the Great Song Dynasty, who respects the scholars, Zhao Xu's direct humiliation of the prime minister is simply unimaginable.
The reason why this is so can only be said that he is angry to the extreme.
Wang Xiao in the queue not far away pouted and smiled.
Most of the things written on the testament are true, and the few things compiled are also specious, anyway, they are the kind that the emperor will get angry and want to cut people when he sees them.
For Wang Xiao, who used to be an emperor, no one knows these things better than him.
And what angered Zhao Xu the most was that Zhang Dian wanted to pursue and abolish Xuanren, and at the same time conspired to bite Empress Meng, pretending to be an evil sect, and tried to abolish Empress Meng in the Hougong prison case. In the end, he started to be imprisoned and tried to kill all the ministers of Yuanyou.
This paragraph is true, but it is still in the preliminary preparations.
And then there is the eunuch Hao Sui, and an alliance with Concubine Liu Xian. The conspiracy used Taoist Fu water to enter the palace to heal the sick Princess Fuqing, kill the princess and then bite the princess's biological mother, Queen Meng, so as to achieve the goal of abolishing the queen.
Most of this paragraph is true, and a small part is added by Wang Xiao himself based on speculation.
In history, Zhang Dian did collude with Hao Sui, and pushed down Empress Meng and pushed Concubine Liu Xian to the throne with the Taoist Fu Shui matter. And Princess Fuqing did die of illness.
These are all things that will happen in the coming months. Wang Xiao just informed Zhao Xu, who was kept in the dark, of the matter in advance.
As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to form eunuchs within the ministers and meddle in the abolition of the royal family.
I won't say much about such things in the previous dynasty, just mention the Wanli Emperor and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty to understand.
How angry the Wanli Emperor was at that time, and how miserable their family was after Zhang Juzheng died.
And now Zhao Xu is in this mood.
Compared with Emperor Wanli, Zhao Xu's ability to act is significantly stronger.
In the past few days, he has secretly asked the Imperial City Division and Wang Xiao to investigate, and he has already confirmed most of the things in the fold.
The rest of the ones also have pointing evidence.
For the emperor, these were enough.
Wu Yushi said in his posthumous fold that he was a confidant of Zhang Xianggong and was deeply involved in these things. But his conscience did not allow him to do these unconscionable things, so in the end, he could only die to apologize.
Zhao Xu believed it, even if it was only partially true, he would believe it.
The emperor is the most suspicious profession.
Because of this, this is the previous scene.
"Wechen doesn't know what the crime is." Zhang Dian picked up the legacy of Wu Yushi, but he didn't open it to look at it, but directly challenged the emperor, "This dynasty has been a good scholar since Emperor Taizu Taizong. Official..."
"Shut up!"
Zhao Xu was very undignified and drank the words of Zhang Xuan, and reached out and snatched the fold in his hand, "You traitor." The eunuchs are eunuchs inside, and the court power is close outside. Privately accumulating power and coercing ministers. You still have the dog's gall in the private palace. Taizu has descended from the dynasty, counting you as the most treacherous and shameless! ”
The emperor's words made everyone in the hall drop their jaws in shock.
In the Great Song Dynasty, who respected scholars, it was simply appalling that the emperor scolded Zai Fu so badly.
"Official."
Wang Xiao stood up at this time: "Please put away your demeanor." ”
Among his concurrent duties was the revision of the Right Bundian, which was similar to the secretary giving advice to the emperor.
At this time, he stood up and reminded the emperor to pay attention to the appearance and not to lose his temper, and he reluctantly said the past.
Of course, Wang Xiao couldn't be helping Zhang Dun, he was reminding the emperor to pay attention to the key points. First of all, I will confirm the guilt of Zhang Dun, and then talk about anything else.
Zhao Xu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and threw the fold in his hand to Wang Xiao, "Read it out, let everyone know what this beast has done!" ”
This is Wang Xiao's own job, there is nothing to say, so he directly stepped forward and unfolded the testament and began to read it out loud.
Just by reading the first paragraph, Zhang Dian was already depressed and almost unstable.
After Wang Xiao finished reading, he then asked, "Official, I don't know if what is said in this testament is true?" ”
This is to remind Zhao Xu that it is time to come out with evidence, and it is good to sit on the matter.
Zhao Xu snorted coldly: "Bring Hao Sui, that dog thief up!" ”
Hao Sui is an internal supervisor, and he is also a figure with a face in the palace.
But now, he was dragged up like a dead dog. Looking at him like that, it is obvious that he has been tortured.
"Say, how did you collude inside and out?"
With a prominent chamberlain like Hao Sui as a witness, the matter is basically finalized.
The faces of the people in the main hall were different.
They were not suspicious of the collusion between inside and outside Zhang, but they were amazed at how bad his luck was.
would actually trust a stupid person like Wu Yushi, and all of them will be exposed when they are hit by others.
Zhao Xu himself is indeed dissatisfied with Empress Meng, but it is also his own business to be dissatisfied. It is not the turn of the foreign ministers to dictate and meddle in the affairs of the palace.
Not to mention that he also conspired to kill Princess Fuqing, so as to bite the queen and set off a big prison.
All emperors have only one opinion on this kind of ruthless minister.
That's damn it!
Cai Jing's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he made up his mind. stretched out his leg and kicked his younger brother Cai Bian.
"Official." Cai Jing came out of the line and saluted, "Shangshu's left servant shot the door, the waiter is ill-intentioned, and the wolf is ambitious." The minister asked the official family to punish him for the crime of disrespect! ”
Cai Bian followed up and saluted, "Official, please treat the sin of the left servant of Shangshu to shoot the door!" ”
Everyone knows that the Cai Jing brothers are Zhang Dan's right-hand men, and now the two of them have jumped out and fallen into the ground, obviously getting rid of the implication.
The people with lively heads came to their senses and jumped out one after another to accuse Zhang Dian.
The head is not very flexible, and there is basically no one in this hall. Even those with bad brains can't get here.
The meaning of these people's actions is very simple, that is, to clear suspicion. At the same time, it is also putting pressure on Zhang, hoping that he can understand what he should do.
Zhang Dian smiled miserably, raised his hand tremblingly, took off his long-winged hat, and put down the wat board in his hand.
knelt heavily on the ground, facing Zhao Xu's forehead and touching the ground, "The criminal minister has nothing to say, and I implore the official family to give the criminal a decent person." ”
The decency he is talking about here cannot of course mean forgiveness of him.
It's easy to say anything if such a big thing hasn't been exposed. But once it is exposed, it is an unpardonable sin.
And he had to carry it himself, otherwise he would implicate the entire New Party, after all, he was the leader of the New Party.
Cai Jing and the backbones of the New Party have already forced Zhang Dian to a dead end with practical actions.
What Zhang Dian said was decent was to ask the emperor to give him a chance to apologize for his crimes.
If we make a self-determination, even if this matter ends here, it will not further expand the implication and will not affect the people of the New Party. And it can be regarded as barely retaining a little reputation for himself.
Zhao Xu was a little hesitant.
He knew that this time it was impossible for Zhang Dian to be the only one to promote. The whole new party will definitely go on the same page.
It's just that he doesn't know if he wants to take the opportunity to crack down on the new party.
From the bottom of my heart, I naturally want to punish these lawless bastards.
But the reality is that the old party was cleaned up before, and now it is turning around and attacking the new party. This will cause turmoil in the DPRK.
Zhao Xu, who couldn't make up his mind, looked at Wang Xiao.
And Wang Xiao nodded slowly.
Cai Jing, who saw this scene, narrowed his eyes.
The final result of this incident was that Zhang Dian died of illness. No other people in the DPRK and China were implicated.
As for Hao Sui and other people in the inner palace, it was the emperor who disposed of it himself.
Later, Zhao Xu appointed Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian as Shangshu's left servant and servant, in charge of the world's government affairs, and became a trusted prime minister.
It is said that Cai Jing was very dissatisfied with the fact that his younger brother was able to surpass him and become the prime minister.
Although the two brothers are Jinshi in the same examination, their qualifications are exactly the same. But after all, he is an older brother, so it's a shame.
In addition to the change of appearance, there is also a personnel change that is amazing.
That is, the young Wang Xiao was appointed by Zhao Xu as Shangshu Zuo Shilangzhong.
The grade in Shangshu Zuo Shilang is not high, only the sixth grade.
But the real power of this position is very heavy, because this is the deputy second officer of Shangshu's left servant.
He is in charge of the affairs of the province and supervises the affairs of officials, households, and the Ministry of Rites. Acting in violation of the rules, signing the match, knowing the straight house, and being in the middle of the Shilang.
This is a typical lowly and weighted position.
An interesting thing is that the Shangshu Right Shiro, who is symmetrical with Shangshu Zuo Shiro, is in charge of the revision of the living notes.
Both sides have the same grade and similar positions. But the power in his hands is very different.
Under normal circumstances, this appointment would not be accepted by the Prime Minister.
Because of this important position, the position that has the right to refute the decree and the right to sign the official document is reserved for the prime minister's confidants.
But Zhao Xu was already determined to restrain the lawless New Party, and made arrangements before appointing Cai Bian as prime minister. This is a fact, and there is no way to change it.
Wang Xiao's concurrently held positions have now reached four.
I can receive four portions every month, which is simply beautiful.
And with his current age and qualifications, being able to do such an important position is like riding a rocket.
Champion Lang, who was at the same time as Wang Xiao, was still making a general judgment at the local level.
"Wang Qing, how is Fuqing's illness?"
In the palace, Zhao Xu was a little anxious to ask Wang Xiao, who was treating Princess Fuqing.
Princess Fuqing is the daughter of Zhao Xu and Empress Meng, and she is not yet three years old.
She was seriously ill before, and although she was treated in many ways, famous doctors from all over the world said that the medicine stone was spiritual, and it was really bad for Zhao Xu.
Remembering the scene when Wang Xiao saw a doctor for himself before, Zhao Xu invited Wang Xiao with hope.
"It's lung disease, it's serious. But it can be saved. ”
Wang Xiao's words made Queen Meng on the side directly shed tears. This was the first person to tell her that the princess could be saved.
For Empress Meng, who was not treated by the emperor, Princess Fuqing was the sustenance of his life.
Wang Xiao prescribed a prescription and instructed him to take medicine on time, and to have a confidant follow him throughout the whole process, so as to beware of being hacked.
Since the previous incident with Hao Sui, Zhao Xu has cleaned up the palace fiercely. It's just that Concubine Liu Xian's side, he couldn't bear to do it.
And this Concubine Liu Xian is the black hand who killed Princess Fuqing in history.
Bidding farewell to the grateful Empress Meng, Wang Xiao and Zhao Xu walked in the palace.
Without waiting for Zhao Xu to say anything, Wang Xiao said, "Two days ago, Weichen used a deduction technique. ”
Then he followed up with another sentence that made Zhao Xu tremble.
"Next month, there will be an earth dragon turning over in Jiannan Dongchuan."
