"Get on your knees!" Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Following the prestige, it turned out to be the protagonist of today's dinner - Cai Jing's old mother Qin.

Who does this old birthday star make to kneel?

"Jing'er, let you kneel down for Engong, didn't you hear?" Qin's voice raised by one degree.

Cai Jing looked at both sides, Niu Gao and the twenty-eight warriors were all Engong, especially the one who snatched the Qin clan out just now.

Just now, the other officials all called Zong Shu a benevolent duke, and they all gave gifts, and none of them knelt.

Today, do you still have to kneel down to these men?

"Zong Shu, come here." The Qin clan shouted at Zong Shu.

This old lady is over 100 years old, and she is still in good spirits. For the sake of her age, Zong Shu walked over.

"This is the little Engong of the Cai family, Jing'er, what are you still doing in a daze?"

Cai Jing really had no choice, and if he disobeyed his mother's order, that was to be unfilial.

If an official is labeled as unfilial, he will not be able to get along in the court at all.

Fortunately, Zong Shu's guy stood with his mother Qin and knelt down to salute, which was not too embarrassing.

Cai Jing knelt down, Cai You and Cai Xiu also knelt down reluctantly.

Zong Shu straightened his chest, and he was very proud in his heart, but he didn't expect that the head of the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty would kowtow in front of him.

Seeing that it was almost over, Zong Shu stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay, you don't have to knock anymore, flat, ah, flat." ”

Cai Jing was extremely depressed just now, so he knocked his head very loudly, as if he wanted to knock out the stuffiness in his chest.

originally wanted to occupy Tongzhen Palace, but Lin Lingsu handed over the decision to Zong Shu.

Zong Shu asked for a sky-high price again, making the dispute over Tongzhen Palace known to the world.

At this moment, the Cai family can be described as in a dilemma, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. forced Cai Jing to be ruthless: at all costs, he must also take down Tongzhen Palace.

In the end, it was taken down at a price that exceeded the market price of 200,000 taels.

On the contrary, Zong Shu said that Tongzhen Palace was going to sink into the underworld, and today, it really sank.

Objectively speaking, Zong Shu really saved the lives of the Cai family, but subjectively, this kid had no intention of saving at all.

If it weren't for the emperor and empress being here, Zong Shu would probably wish the Cai family would die early, where would he come to the rescue?

Since this guy already knew that Tongzhen Palace would sink into the underworld, how could he still collect 300,000 taels of silver from the Cai family!

Now, the Tongzhen Palace, which cost 300,000 taels of silver, has come to naught! Everything is in vain.

Although most of the 300,000 silver was not made up by the Cai family, but by the officials below, this made Cai Jing feel even more ashamed.

Once this matter spreads, the Cai family will become the object of ridicule from all over the world.

The Cai family provides a vivid annotation for the phrase "chicken, flying, and egg-beating".

In fact, the officials also thought of this, and they cast sympathetic or secretly happy glances at Cai Jing.

No matter how thick-skinned Cai Jing and Cai You were, no matter how high their kung fu was, they also felt that they couldn't stay here any longer, so they hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to Huizong.

……

Huizong looked at Zong Shu with an indifferent expression, and suddenly thought of a question: How did Zong Shu know that Tongzhen Palace was going to sink into the underworld?

Could it be that there are really people in this world who can communicate freely with the gods of heaven and earth?

Even Lin Lingsu doesn't have such ability!

By the way, this kid has beaten Lin Lingsu twice, maybe he really has the ability to do this.

"Zong Shu, why are you so accurate in judging the matter of Tongzhen Palace today?"

Huizong's questioning made Zong Shu very embarrassed.

Zong Shu knew that Tongzhen Palace was going to sink into the ground, on the one hand, it was based on historical materials, how could this be told to others?

On the other hand, it was he who organized Niu Gao and twenty-eight sergeants to train in Tongzhen Palace, and stepped on a hole in the ground, which reminded him of the records in historical materials.

I can't talk about that. The ministers found out, and it was time to tuck his pigtails again.

actually digging into the corner of the forbidden army, and secretly training in Tongzhen Palace, must be ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned.

Unable to think of a reason for a while, Zong Shu simply didn't speak.

Doesn't this guy usually talk a lot? How is it dumb now?

"Zong Shu, what's wrong, didn't you hear what I said?"

Zhuzhu hurriedly pulled Lazongshu's sleeve.

Zong Shu was still silent, taking Huizong's words as a deaf ear.

Huizong was about to make a fortune, but suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help laughing: "Zong Shu, from now on, you can't eat salt for a month, and you can't eat salt for a month." The ban is lifted, and you can speak. ”

Yes, his own little caution was seen by Huizong.

Zong Shu immediately made a bitter face, he didn't eat salt for a month, he was definitely weak in his limbs, his heart rate was accelerating, and his vision was blurred, which was too cruel.

"Zhuzhu, you are responsible for supervising Zong Shu and banning salt for one month. If there is any violation, it will be reported in time and severely punished. ”

Ah, Zhuzhu is here to oversee! Haha, such a good thing!

"In order to fully implement His Majesty's will and enhance the effectiveness of supervision, I request that I be subject to all-weather, all-round, and uninterrupted personal follow-up monitoring......"

Zong Shu's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, Huizong snorted, and as soon as he moved, Empress Liu, Zhuzhu and the ministers immediately followed.

Finally fooled over, Zong Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Tongzhen Palace fell, and the ministers ran all the way, shouting, and they had already woken up the people outside the city and at the gates of the city.

The news spread throughout the city like wings, and the people in the city were panicked for a while, and the Tongzhen Palace sank to the underworld, such a big hole, the question came: Is it safe to stay in the city?

Some wealthy families packed up their soft goods overnight, got on a donkey cart and went out of the city in the dark, and went to the countryside or other places to seek refuge with relatives.

The next day, Huizong heard the news that the rich families in the city had fled, and this was okay, if everyone was gone, would the capital still be like the capital?

Huizong immediately ordered that the whole city be blocked, and all personnel were only allowed to enter and not leave.

As soon as the forbidden army changed from being lazy and guarding various city gates, Bianliang City became nervous, and the people became more and more worried about whether the entire inner city would be like Tongzhen Palace.

Near noon, rumors spread in the city, and the restless people began to run out of the city in a frenzy.

After being blocked by the forbidden army, he went home and copied the guy and began to storm the forbidden army.

The problem of insufficient armament of the forbidden army was revealed, and it was impossible to resist the impact of the people, and several forbidden soldiers were wounded, and dozens of ordinary people rushed out at once.

After receiving the report, Gao Yu immediately transferred the forbidden army on duty near the palace and Banzai Mountain, and urgently supported the city gate.

The opening was finally blocked, but the people in the city became more and more irritable.

After the dispersal of the court, the ministers prepared to go home. But he found that a large number of people had gathered towards the palace.

When the officials led by Cai Jing saw that the people were going to rebel, they were scared and returned to the palace.

Huizong was about to return to the inner court, but found that the officials had turned back. When I asked, it turned out that it was the common people who surrounded the palace!

Huizong's eyelids jumped, and a bad feeling hit, yesterday Tongzhen Palace sank into the underworld, and today there are ordinary people who hit the palace, how can it be so coincidental?
