Emperor Zhao Ji had already listened to the general report, and was so shocked that the brush fell off, and a beautiful picture that was being painted to relieve boredom was discarded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I was in a bad mood, I was not in a good state, I was not satisfied, the painting to be completed was ruined, and Zhao Ji didn't care. He was completely outraged by the fact that these gentlemen and wealthy businessmen in the capital joined forces to oppress the Hou Mansion and directly rushed to the door. How can there be a heart tube that can't be painted.

What do those people want to do?

What exactly do the magnates behind those people want to do?

Do you want to join forces to force me to get rid of Zhao Gonglian as soon as possible, or do you want to seek greater profits, and want to increase the disaster and destroy my country?

He, the emperor, deserves to be foolish and blind, but his IQ and EQ are definitely high enough, and he is not ignorant of the severity of local disasters.

From the twists and turns of Captain Su Yuanjingsu, who served as the commander-in-chief of Gaoyang Guan Road, Zhao Ji could also see some great changes in the local area and understand many things.

It turns out that Zheng Juzhong, an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, may not be a useful person, he may not have the ability to govern the country at all, let alone the ability to lead troops, he is just a vain and faceless old embroidered pillow, and he dares to lie and boast to me, which is not credible and cannot be relied on.

It turned out that the dangers in the districts and border passes of Gaoyangguan Road had reached such a dangerous level, and Zhao Gonglian's prestige in the border army was so high that if he got rid of it brutally, the harm caused would be unimaginable.

Zhao Ji understood the implicit exhortation in Su Taiwei's compromise: The Great Song Dynasty has reached a precarious point. At this time, Zhao Gonglian must be appeased, so that he has the confidence to continue to serve the court loyally.

He had already hinted that the ministers who had been thinking about his holy will all day long should no longer make things difficult for Zhao Gonglian, and they all cooperated to stabilize the Cangbei Dinghai Divine Needle, but those people were sorry that Zhenyi hit the Hou Mansion directly this time. If Zhao Gonglian knew about this, what would he think?

The people of the Hou Mansion said that they remembered the grace of the monarch and the ministers who had known each other for many years?

Yes, if it weren't for that, people in the capital were talking about speculating whether the imperial court was starting to gradually cut off Zhao Gonglian's military power and wings and preparing to start, I am afraid that people in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty would also see that they were looking at the direction of the wind, with Zhao Gonglian's cleverness, even if they didn't know the situation in Tokyo in Cangbei, they could judge the clues, but they were still concentrating on guarding and developing the border passes to protect the Great Song Dynasty, and this motivation should come from this.

Zhao Gonglian still has feelings and hopes for the imperial court, to be precise, for him, the emperor, and must have a fluke mentality.

And the Great Song Dynasty, or the dynasties of the past dynasties, used this hope to weaken and decisively eliminate the hidden dangers of those powerful ministers or too much influence.

This kind of thing has been done in different ways throughout the ages, but the essence is the same.

They all first added officials to show their honor and attention, but in fact, they gradually hollowed out their power, controlled them to break away from the sphere of influence and could not raise storms, and then they suddenly turned their faces and asked for guilt.

The most ingenious thing that allows the court to maintain a decent and fair image is that the threats are pressing step by step, forming a strong sense of crisis and torturing people to death.

The Renzong Dynasty used this hand in order to eliminate the hidden danger of rebellion that Di Qing, who had too much prestige in the army.

Di Qing said that he was sick and died in the midst of all kinds of suspicions and crises, but in fact, he endured fright for a long time and was forced to suffocate to death.

Zhao Gonglian reads poetry and books, and knows no less about historical events than anyone else, so how can he not understand the Di Qing incident that happened in this dynasty? How can we not be alert to the current situation?

is still the same sentence, loyal ministers will always have a little ridiculous hope, hoping that the emperor will be affectionate and can give justice. When you die, you will understand how the emperor has love since ancient times? What kind of justice does politics talk about?

But this troubled mansion is very likely to break Zhao Gonglian's illusion and sustenance for the emperor in his heart.

What happens if there is no hope and no luck?

Don't forget that the Cangzhao family started by self-preservation, whether it is to resist Liao or other threats, I am afraid that the members of the Zhao Gonglian family have become instinctive in their bones. It doesn't matter if you are the Great Liao or the Great Song of the mother country, if you want to destroy the Cangzhao Gate, they will instinctively resist fiercely.

Judging from Zhao Gonglian's officialdom battles, he doesn't cause trouble, he seeks common benefits, but whoever dares to pit him, his counterattack will be fierce and decisive.

At the beginning, the dumb child of the Cangzhao family was pitted in the Great Xiangguo Temple, touched the reverse scale of the Cangzhao family and stepped on the bottom line, angering the eldest brother Zhao Gonglian, who loved the younger brother like a father, and at that time in the court in public, he violently beat the imperial envoy who dared to frame the crime and provoked to take revenge on a group of officials who dared to frame his brothers, Zhao Ji saw it with his own eyes, and was shocked at the time, and now he deeply understands the style of the Cangzhao people.

This family has a second-class spirit, and they are bold and not afraid of death.

If this incident is not handled well, I am afraid that the lightest is that Zhao Gonglian is hostile to the imperial court and leaves with his family first, and Ren Dasong falls into chaos and collapses.

This kind of genius, no matter where he defects, will bring unimaginable disasters to the Great Song Dynasty. It's a lot of fear.

It was precisely this kind of jealousy that Zhao Ji noticed that Zhao Gonglian had resentment and resistance to the imperial court in his heart, and immediately had a killing intention to resolutely get rid of it.

What he didn't know was that this was Zhao Gonglian giving him a chance to reduce his punishment at the end.

How much affection Zhao Ji misses, how much punishment Zhao Gonglian will reduce.

Zhao Ji is firm and impersonal in killing the Zhao family, and the punishment that the royal family will get in the end will be unspeakably miserable.

This is something that Zhao Gonglian and his younger brother agreed on a long time ago.

Otherwise, according to Zhao Yue's thoughts, he would peel off Zhao Ji's skin and cramp, so that this emperor who had brought indescribable destruction to the economy and civilization of the Han nation would live worse than death.

However, Zhao Ji feels that he is supreme and has everything, and no one in this world can help him except God. He can do whatever he wants. No matter how smart and capable Zhao Gonglian is, in his eyes he is just a servant ant, with a lot of energy and size, but no matter how big he is, he is an ant that he crushed to death. How could he have the consciousness of being punished by the ants holding the palm of life and death?

Killing Zhao Gonglian and destroying Zhao Manmen is a sure killing.

Who called your family too capable?

Since ancient times, the unjust deaths in officialdom have been innocent heroes and powerful ministers.

Not only Zhao Ji, but also the emperor with real power or the powerful minister who is proud of the spring breeze will have this similar mentality of treating others as ants and killing them if they want to.

Zhao Ji is taking his identity for granted.

With his willfulness of being unkind and unjust, he can't immediately humiliate and reprimand Zhao Gonglian, who dares to question and disobey him, and he is confident that he can kill him if he wants to.

It's just that he can't do it like his more vicious and ruthless son Zhao conceived to kill Yue Fei and kill him immediately, and he didn't even bother to make up the charges.

The situation is different.

In terms of meritorious service and military strength under his command, Zhao Gonglian is inferior to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei not only maintained the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty regime in the south of the Yangtze River, but also swept the north to recapture the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Gou said that he would kill and kill at all, because he had other available generals and horses, and he just wanted to be safe and rich, and he had the Yangtze River to rely on.

And Zhao Ji has a larger land and subject support, has a strong western army, and the overall strength is much stronger than his son, but the main body of the inland army and the northern army are useless, the western army is unreliable in the eyes of the imperial court, the stronger the more dangerous, and the Western Xia thieves firmly contain the troops, and the importance of the remaining Cangbei army to resist the Liao army cannot be denied.

In this way, Zhao Gonglian, the soul of the Cangbei Army, cannot be killed if he says kill. Especially now.

Ants are also very useful.

If you want to show your imperial power, demonstrate, punish and vent your anger, you can't do it to this ant.

But the emperor will not wronged himself, and an emperor like Zhao Ji will not. Someone will have to bear the fire.

was already in a bad mood day and night, and the evil fire was uncomfortable, Zhao Ji slapped the imperial case fiercely, and for the first time, he sprayed foul words to the minister regardless of his image and system.

"Bastard bastard."

Bai Shizhong, who was bowing his head slightly and obediently obeying the imperial will, was stunned: Who is the emperor scolding?

Peeked at Zhao Ji carefully.

I saw that the emperor's face was blue and black, covered with dark clouds, his eyebrows were erected, his face was distorted, his eyes were full of thunder and lightning murderous intent, and his fierce gaze was staring at Cai Mao.

Bai Shizhong smiled secretly: Sure enough.

Cai Mao was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said again and again: "Your Majesty is angry." The dragon body is important......"

This guy is cunning and extremely sorry for himself, when the emperor made a murderous move, his life may not be guaranteed, he also secretly played tricks, patted his mouth to change the topic, kowtowed to the back of his hands, knocked frightened and respectful, but did not hit the back of his hand at all, there was no sound at all, there was no pain at all, and the official hat was not crooked.

It's a pity that he miscalculated and performed in the wrong place.

At this moment, if he kowtows and his forehead is blue and bleeding, Zhao Ji's mood will be slightly better, this time Cai Mao begged for mercy is so slippery, it can be seen how he usually treats the holy will, how can he really be in awe and loyal to him, the emperor.

I feel that I have been fooled and bullied by my courtiers again, and the fire is even bigger.

The paintbrush he was still holding in his hand smashed at Cai Mao, and shouted angrily: "Bastard, what are you eating?" How dare you fool me? Do you dare to defy me? ”

scolded and couldn't understand the hatred, so he picked up the heavy and precious inkstone on the painting case and smashed it hard.

It's also a coincidence.

The emperor, who doesn't practice martial arts and has never played stone throwing, is like a divine help this time. The inkstone accurately smashed on Cai Mao's forehead, which he had just raised by kowtowing.

It's too difficult to hit this time difference.

That's a fraction of a second. Sharpshooters can't catch such an accurate gap with the guns of the 21st century.

The inkstone was heavy and sharp, and it smashed Cai Mao screaming, and suddenly blood flowed all over his face, and his head was confused for a while.

At this time, this Si knew that the emperor really wanted to kill him, and he didn't just vent his anger casually, so that this guy was so frightened that he endured the confusion and the huge pain of the wound, and then he didn't care about his body and slippery, and slammed to the ground.

Bang

Unfortunately, this is not only useless. Zhao Ji saw that his face was bloody and hateful, and the blood had polluted the holy land of the temple, and this evil fire was even more prevalent.

Turning his head to stare at Bai Shizhong.

Bai Shizhong was already prepared, knelt down sensitively, and bent down with his hands clenched into fists: "Holy Lord, the minister is also guilty." The minister is busy with official business these days and neglects the affairs of the capital. Please rebuke the Holy One. ”

Zhao Ji knew that Bai Shizhong was very diligent in his upper position, and in order to remedy state affairs, he didn't return home these days, and he was the prime minister, so he had to give this face, and he needed Bai Shizhong to take the lead in cleaning up the mess, otherwise he would have a headache for those messes, and he couldn't make Bai Shizhong feel cold.

He forcibly suppressed his anger, "In the middle of the day, you said that Cai Mao was so derelict in his duties and discredited his holy grace, what should I do?" Who can lead the Kaifeng Mansion to deal with the affairs of the Hou Mansion? ”

In a word, it was directly decided that Cai Mao was no longer the boss of Kaifeng Mansion.

Cai Mao was frightened, and he didn't kowtow anymore, and hurriedly turned his eyes to Bai Shizhong with a bloody face, his bloodstained eyes were full of pleading and wishing, and Ba Wangbai Shizhong looked at him and pulled him for the sake of his desperate desire to work.

Bai Shizhong didn't even look at him, still kneeling, respectfully facing the emperor and replied: "The affairs of the Hou Mansion are not small, and they need to be dealt with by capable ministers. From Weichen's point of view, Xu Bingzhe is honest and quick-witted, and may be a suitable candidate. As for how to deal with Cai Mao, the minister has been busy these days, and he has no idea for a while, so he listens to the holy judge. ”

How could he care if Cai Mao lived or died.

The Kaifeng Prefecture is in charge of the ground of Tokyo, and its importance is self-evident. Whoever is the prime minister must also grasp the Kaifeng Mansion in his hands, otherwise the power will be reduced by two pounds.

Cai Mao is Cai Jing's confidant, no matter how sincere his heart is to turn to refuge, how strong his intentions are, it is as good as directly in the hands of someone he can trust.

Wouldn't it be stupid to take the opportunity not to get Cai Mao down at this moment?

Zhao Ji thought about it, hummed, satisfied with Bai Shizhong's attitude, and also satisfied with the recommended candidates.

Xu Bingzhe, another traitor in history, ascended to the throne of Kaifeng Mansion Yin and began a weighty career as a traitor, accelerating the pace of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Bangchang and other people who asked for sin came,

As soon as they came in, they all bowed to the ground, and said: "Weichen has no way to teach his son, and these days he is busy with unprecedented complicated and urgent official business, and he has no intention of caring about it, and he neglects to discipline the dog, so that this little beast has made a big disaster in the Wencheng Marquis Mansion in order to be strong and win the limelight." The minister is guilty. The minister resigned to apologize. ”

Kowtow, not fooling people.

Zhao Ji hated to chop up all the Yanai who led the Hou Mansion and caused him a big thrilling trouble and feed them to the dogs, but seeing that Zhang Bangchang confessed his guilt and was sincere, kowtowing was not to coax him, this murderous intent was restrained, and it was also forgiven in terms of Zhang Bangchang's face and role in not returning home these days and nights, guarding the shift room, and the face and role of the second-in-command of the deputy prime minister.

"Hmph, I know you're loyal. But the children in the family also need to be disciplined. Dare to openly gather a crowd to storm and rob the Hou Mansion, which is tantamount to rebellion and a capital crime. Learn your lesson. ”

Zhang Bangchang said that he guessed that the emperor's mind was right, and he was secretly happy, but he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the emperor's considerate and generous courtiers, and swore to die in return.

When Xu Bingzhe was urgently summoned into the palace, Zhao Ji deliberately asked Zhang Bangchang and others how to deal with Cai Mao.

It is also to use Cai Mao to warn the ministers.

If you dare to play tricks on the emperor, dare to live up to the grace of the saints, dereliction of duty and cause a catastrophe, you will end up with Cai Mao, whom you have set for yourself.

It was also Cai Mao's bad luck to the top.

Coincidentally, at this time, the disaster emergency report in Shuzhong also came.

The matter was too urgent and important, and the relevant officials who received the urgent report learned that the prime minister was with the emperor, and they didn't care about the unspoken rules and procedures for letting the prime minister know and weigh how to deal with it first, and directly broke into the palace to report to Zhao Ji.

Shuzhong was the only pillar base of money and grain that was not affected by the scourge of piracy, and it was even more dependent on its taxes during this period.

Originally, the imperial court had the confidence to deal with the turmoil more calmly. Who knew that Shuzhong was also chaotic, and the situation was even worse and more critical, and the rule almost collapsed into a nest of anti-thieves.

was so shocked that Zhao Ji planted his butt on the seat, his blood rushed to the top with anger, his heart beat wildly, his eyes rolled white, his whole body was terrified, and he seemed to be dying.

In the midst of the group of thieves urgently calling for the Holy Saint, Zhao Ji trembled and pointed his finger at Cai Mao and shouted: "Quick, quickly drag this bloody calamity star out to me and kill it." Calamity, scourge. ”

When Cai Mao heard this, his face instantly turned like paper, and his eyes were dull.

He originally had a way to live, and the most serious punishment was nothing more than the resignation of his official position, and he had a chance to recover in the future, but now he was unlucky and died directly.
