Chapter 285: Tempest
Soul light! ”
Zhao Xu, who has made a small success in cultivating Zixia Gong and is already very good at cultivating qi, was furious.
The most unbearable thing for the emperors of the past was the magic of witchcraft. This has always been a taboo for whoever touches it.
Modern people don't believe this, but in ancient times, it was a very taboo thing.
"How did the prisoner escape?"
In the face of Zhao Xu's anger, Wang Xiao took the initiative to admit his guilt, "It's all the negligence of Weichen, and Weichen is guilty." ”
Zeng Bu quietly kicked Cai Jing's foot, signaling that this was a good opportunity to hit Wang Xiao. But Cai Jing was a little confused and didn't react at all.
As an old fox, Cai Jing has an extremely keen sense of smell in the court.
He could feel that it was a terrifying storm. And now, it's just the beginning of the storm.
I don't know why, Cai Jing always feels that this time things are not as simple as they seem.
Even if Tong Guan really did this, why did he do it?
He is a eunuch, to curse the emperor and the crown prince, and to secretly raise the dead to do great things, what good is it for him?
"I don't understand." Cai Jing could sense that the storm was coming, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
Of course, Zhao Xu would not really punish Wang Xiao because of this matter, he suppressed his anger and asked Wang Xiao to continue to investigate this matter, no matter who was involved, he would take it down.
As for Tong Guan, who has always been ignorant, until he was arrested and tortured, he didn't know what happened.
The place where the witch is located is the underground of his family's courtyard, and the dead soldiers who do the work are also recruited by him.
This kind of thing, that's really unclear.
After going down to the court, Zhao Xu called Wang Xiao to go to Zixiao Palace to cultivate.
When the cultivation was over, Zhao Xu said calmly, "Do you think that if something happens to me and the crown prince, then who will benefit?" ”
Wang Xiao thought for a while, "According to the ancestral system, the Empress Dowager Xiang should choose one of the kings to inherit the throne. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Xu closed his eyes: "Which one has the best chance?" ”
"Duanwang."
Wang Xiao did not hesitate to throw out the Duanwang Zhao Ji, who had kicked the juju together during this time.
Zhao Xu nodded slowly, his eleventh brother was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, according to the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, Tong Guan often played Keju with King Duan, and the relationship between the two was good. ”
The meaning of this conversation is actually quite simple.
Tong Guan was a eunuch, and cursing the emperor and the crown prince to death did him little good.
The one who is really good is definitely the one who has the most hope of inheriting the throne.
While he was talking, an attendant came to report. It is said that several problematic letters were secretly dug out from Tong Guan's residence.
Zhao Xu took the letter and opened it, and his face changed.
It was not because of the exaggeration of the content of the letters, but because he knew the handwriting on them.
The content of the letters is all about greeting each other and gossiping.
only vaguely mentioned a few words about whether things were going well, and if the matter was done, he would not be treated badly.
It's not a big deal to drive normally. But in the current environment, this is proper collusion.
"Official." Wang Xiao, who read the letter, explained aloud: "Wechen heard that Duanwang is promoting the holding of a Keju League recently, and Tong Guan is said to have contributed a lot to it, and he has also formed a Keju team. Maybe that's what that's what you're talking about. ”
"Hehehehe~~~"
Zhao Xu's laughter sounded a little calm, "Keju? I'm a fool! This is a cover for their true purpose. ”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips, "Official, Weichen heard that there is a confidant in Duanwang's mansion, named Gao Yu." If the official family agrees, Wechen wants to check this person. ”
"That's right." Zhao Xu agreed without the slightest hesitation.
When Gao Yu was still happily kicking and bowing with Zhao Ji in Duanwang's mansion, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion went directly to the house and searched carefully.
There is no doubt that a bunch of letters were copied from the secret place of Gao Yu's house.
This is not only about dealing with Tong Guan, but also involving many ministers in the DPRK and China.
There is even a letter that clearly says that the current official family suppresses too much, and favors traitors to suppress loyal people. If King Duan can ascend to the throne, the sea and rivers will be clear, and the world will be peaceful.
Zhao Xu couldn't stop sneering when he saw this letter.
The handwriting on this letter was so familiar to him that he often saw it in various newspapers. That is the font of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty.
"Don't wait, go directly to the Duanwang Mansion."
Zhao Xu gave an order with compassion, he was no longer ready to save any face for his younger brother.
This time, Wang Xiao personally led the team to Duanwang's Mansion to conduct a search.
Zhao Ji was frightened, and asked cautiously, "Right Xiang, what does this mean?" ”
"The minister is acting according to orders, don't blame Your Highness."
Wang Xiao had a straight face, looking like he was doing business, and he no longer had the joy of kicking and bowing together in the past.
The results of the search were naturally undoubtedly problematic.
A large number of letters were recovered from the hidden place of the Duanwang Mansion. In addition, there are forged jade seals, dragon robes, various flags and ceremonial guards, and so on.
The accompanying chamberlain took out the emperor's holy decree and directly escorted King Duan to the palace.
"Right Phase! Save me~~~"
Zhao Ji, who was dragged away, had tears and snot flowing together, and wailed to Wang Xiao for help, "This king is wronged, save me." We've played football together! ”
Wang Xiao watched expressionlessly as Zhao Ji was taken away, and when he came to the palace to see the emperor, he directly pleaded guilty.
"Official, Wechen has also kicked Keju with King Duan, please Your Majesty check Wechen in detail."
"Hmph." Zhao Xu waved his hand indifferently, "If you have anything to do with this person, then this incident will not be sent to me at all." I still have this discernment. ”
Wang Xiao, who easily took himself out, saluted and began to ask the ministers who had dealings with Zhao Ji what to do.
Zhao Xu got up and paced back and forth.
In the end, he made up his mind to "retire Cai Jing as prime minister first, and then check his home." ”
Wang Xiao, who left the palace, raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked at the sky, "It's clear." ”
The soft white clouds, like the skirt of a girl's skirt, were swept by the breeze, and floated slowly in the sky to the east.
The clouds were so soft that the shadows cast on the earth seemed to melt.
The maggots entrenched on Da Song's body finally came to be cleaned up.
As early as a few years ago, Wang Xiao was making preliminary preparations for related aspects.
By the time he invaded the land of Yanyun, he had already quietly begun to implement it gradually.
As for now, it's just closing the net.
When he was really incarnated as a trumpet and walked the rivers and lakes, he was only chivalrous and righteous.
Step on the spot, get the paperwork, plan the route or something has been prepared for a long time.
Some people say that people haven't done bad things yet, so they can't be punished without teaching.
And then what? And then wait until they really do something bad and cause great harm before punishing them?
Then who should the person who has been hurt in the process go to cry?
The misdeeds of these people have long been remembered in the history books.
Wang Xiao will not give them the opportunity to be evil, not the slightest chance.
"It's a pity." Wang Xiao walked leisurely in the bustling and lively Bianliang City, "Cai Jing's handwriting is good, and Zhao Ji's painting is good." There's no right major. ”
Cai Jing's instincts were right, and this storm did involve him. And it was directed at him from the beginning.
His phase was gone, and then a large number of imperial city divisions and Kaifeng government officials poured into his mansion. In places unknown to him, numerous letters were found.
The content of the letter was all about him and Duanwang Zhao Ji discussing a major event.
Cai Jing dared to swear in the name of his ancestors, he had never written and had never read these letters.
But the handwriting on these letters is undoubtedly his, and it belongs to King Duan. He could recognize it clearly.
"Prince Hou, you are ruthless enough."
Unlike others, Cai Jing, who is experienced and has a keen sense of smell, saw the figure hidden in the fog accurately.
This matter must have been done by Wang Xiao, even if there is no evidence, he thinks so.
Because except for Wang Xiao, no one has the ability to do so many things.
The only thing that Cai Jing doesn't understand is that if Wang Xiao wants to squeeze himself out and really become the prime minister, he doesn't need to go to such great lengths to involve Duan Wang and Tong Guan or anything.
In terms of his ability, he doesn't need to be so troublesome to squeeze himself out.
What is the purpose of Wang Zihou?
Cai Jing will never know why, and Wang Xiao will not tell him.
Although everyone unanimously stated that they were wronged, under the ironclad evidence, it was futile to shout injustice.
Duan Wang Zhao Ji was abolished and removed from all his positions. Imprisoned in the palace and never heard from again.
No one knew what he was, and no one dared to ask.
Tong Guan, a famous eunuch in history who was crowned a prince as a eunuch and served as a privy envoy. He was given a miserable death in a corner of the palace.
Zhao Ji's henchmen Gao Yu failed to resist the punishment and was hung in prison.
As for his righteous son Gao Yanei, he was stabbed in Cangzhou, and met the strongman who cut the path in the wild boar forest on the way, and died in the wild boar forest.
Cai Jing was demoted to Qiongzhou, and when he crossed the river halfway, he accidentally fell into the water and disappeared.
The thieves and ministers who have left their names in other history books have all come to a miserable end in one way or another.
The sky in the Great Song Dynasty is clear, and there will never be Jingkang's shame again.
At least when Wang Xiao is still around, there will definitely be none.
As for what will happen after he leaves, after he leaves, no matter how big the flood is.
Wang Xiao Xugong became the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door, becoming the youngest prime minister in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Xu became more and more trusting of Wang Xiao.
In his opinion, as long as Wang Xiao is not given military power, then he is the most suitable prime minister.
Compared with Wang Xiao, his brothers and uncles are his real threats and opponents.
Wang Xiao, who officially ascended to the pinnacle of Wenchen, finally came up with his own experience that he had modified and perfected for a long time.
Based on Zhang Juzheng's change of law, the plan for making the Great Song Dynasty truly great. chaptererror();
