The news of the imperial court's disposal of the Mu, Qian, and Meng families soon spread.

The fate of the three families was different, some were killed, some were exiled, and some were demoted to commoners.

After getting the news, many people roughly guessed who gave the order.

Mu, Qian, and Meng, the turmoil caused this time is not small.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs counted one by one, openly and secretly, almost all of them shot.

If the two of the inner court wanted to dispose of them, there would be nothing but to destroy them all in one go.

Because only by destroying them all in one breath can the turmoil caused by Mu, Qian, and Meng quickly subside.

There is only one person in the government and the opposition who can deal with the three families differently in such a chaotic situation.

That is Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen gave an order to cover the coffins of the three families, and the civil and military ministers who were shouting and shouting at the three families died down one after another.

The leader of the Criminal Department, together with Dali Temple, Kaifeng Mansion Yamen, and the Inspection Department, investigated and dealt with the properties of Mu, Qian, and Meng, and at the same time arrested all the people of the three families in prison.

At the same time, the documents for the arrest of the other people of the three families were also expedited by 800 miles and quickly sent to various places.

After getting the documents of the imperial court, the government offices in various places will clean up the three industries in various places as soon as possible, arrest the personnel of the three families in various places, and then send them to Bianjing City together.

Once in the Great Song Dynasty, the three famous merchants have since become a thing of the past.

The seizure of the wealthy families did not make too many waves in the Great Song Dynasty, except for some of the same wealthy families, who had the feeling of dying and cold, the ordinary poor people were not affected at all.

Investigate and deal with the affairs of the Mu, Qian, and Meng families, and the people below are doing it.

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian don't need to go into battle shirtless.

The four of them moved from the Shishitang to Yanfu Palace.

After eating a simple meal.

The other four of the six books, as well as the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council, arrived at the palace.

Zhao Zhen took Kou Ji, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian, and under the attention of the other six, they entered the main hall of Yanfu Palace.

After a simple gift.

The other six were slightly stunned.

The chief officials of the Inner Court, the Privy Council, and the six ministries have almost all arrived, and there is only one missing.

Zhang Shixun.

Zhao Zhen recruited all of them, there must be a major event to talk about that would affect the Great Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Zhen excluded Zhang Shixun.

Zhao Zhen's dissatisfaction with Zhang Shixun was so obvious.

The six of them felt it clearly.

Among the six people, none of them spoke for Zhang Shixun.

There is no one who complains about Zhang Shixun.

Zhang Shixun is on the same level as them, and even a little inferior to the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council.

They don't need to stammer with Stanley Bushun.

Zhao Zhen is so obviously not waiting to see Zhang Shixun, for them, not only is it not bad news, but it is still good news.

There are only a few positions in which the DPRK and China can really hold great power.

There are only a few positions in which the DPRK and China can really participate in the decision-making of major affairs between the DPRK and China.

A turnip, a pit.

Zhang Shixun's fall will not only not affect their position in the court, but will also make room for them to fight for their own people.

Therefore, from the time the six of them entered the hall to the time Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, no one mentioned Zhang Shixun.

As if there was no such person in the court.

Zhao Zhen sat on a high place, staring at the nine important ministers under him, and said in a slightly heavy voice: "I have summoned you here today because there is a major matter that I want to discuss with you. ”

Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Kou Ji and others, according to their different civil and military affiliations, sat on both sides of Zhao Zhen's lower head.

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, the nine people did not speak, and they all made a listening statement.

"Western Xia interfered in the internal affairs of my Great Song Dynasty, and I was very dissatisfied. I intended to teach the Western Xia a lesson, but I was afraid of alarming the envoys of other states, so I intended to appease the envoys of other states.

I am going to make a pact with the envoys of the other states. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The nine people had different expressions.

Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, and Kou Ji knew the inside story, so they sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not speak.

Cao Wei's face was as usual.

Gao Ji frowned slightly.

Zhang Zhibai looked puzzled.

Wang Yunsheng and Li Zhaoliang glanced at Kou Ji intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that Kou Ji's expression was as usual, there was no look on their faces.

The remaining one, like Zhang Zhibai, was a little dazed.

After a short silence, Gao Zugong frowned and said, "...... Summation? ”

Gao Zugong did not approve of Zhao Zhen's words.

Strongly disapprove.

The Great Song Dynasty sued for peace with the Liao State, which was a last resort.

But what are those fan's subordinates, and they are also qualified to let the Great Song Dynasty sue for peace with them?

Although Gao Zu Gong is greedy, he is also a member of the main battle faction.

He is the only veteran minister who has witnessed the various changes in the three dynasties of the Taizu Dynasty, the Taizong Dynasty, and the Zhenzong Dynasty among all the people here.

He witnessed the change of power in the Great Song Dynasty, and also witnessed how Wuxun changed from prosperity to decline.

Wu Xun's status has become very dangerous now.

If the foundation is not firmly established, there is a great possibility that it will fall.

Although the Zhao royal family has always fulfilled its promise to rest with the country.

But whether you can really rest with the country and whether you can keep your family business depends on yourself.

The Cao family now has a queen, if there is another prince, then the Cao family has no worries for three generations.

The Gao family is different.

Although the Gao family has a descendant of the family, it is still a little worse than Cao Yan, Pan Shu and others.

Not to mention that there are demons like Kou Ji in the court.

If he doesn't take the opportunity to help the Gao family stabilize its foundation now, then the Gao family is likely to break away from the center of power in a few decades.

Once the Gao family is out of the center of power, unless there is a very powerful demon, it will be difficult to enter the center of power again.

The Wenchen suppressed Wu Xun and spared no effort.

Once the martial artists are out of the center of power, the Wenchen who stands in the center of power will definitely beat the water dogs without hesitation.

Where is the foundation of the martial arts, Gao Ji Gong knows very well.

Money is just a flower on the cake for the martial artists, and military exploits are the foundation of the martial artists based on the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in addition to accumulating wealth, he also longed for war.

Especially after Zhu Neng was crowned the duke, his desire to fight was even better.

In Gao Chugong's eyes, Zhu Neng is a broken household, don't look at Zhu Neng is now a public, in his eyes, Zhu Neng is still a broken household.

A broken household, all latecomers can come to the top, and with their military exploits, they can mix to the point of being on an equal footing with him.

How can he sit still?

In the previous imperial court, everyone was vying to be a salted fish, and he followed as a salted fish, and it was nothing.

But now the court is almost a cry for war, and he naturally can't be a salted fish anymore.

Because if he continues to be in power, he may really become a salted fish.

After Cao Wei heard Gao Chugong's words, he shook his head with a smile, "It's impossible to make peace......

Cao Wei narrowed his eyes, and added faintly, "Those subordinates are not qualified to make peace with my Great Song Dynasty, if they dare to have this thought, then ask if my Cao Wei's sword is willing." ”

Gao Chu Gong frowned and said, "But the meaning of the official family ......"

Cao Wei subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhen and muttered: "If my guess is correct, the official family wants to sign an alliance with those subordinates, which is more of a charity." ”

Takachi raised a frown slightly.

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the word 'charity' in Cao Wei's mouth.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Kou Qing, you can tell you what you think." ”

Kou Ji nodded, looked around at everyone, and slowly said what he had said in the Shishitang earlier.

After hearing this, the six people of Gao Chu Gong opened their mouths one by one in amazement.

Kou Ji's suggestion was completely different from the way they used to get along with their subordinates, and it could be said that it was very different.

After Kou Ji finished speaking, he didn't wait for the six people to ask questions.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "This matter is good for Fan's subordinates, and it is also good for my Great Song." After careful calculation, the benefits I got from Da Song are more. ”

Gao Chu frowned, a pensive expression.

Cao Wei groaned and said, "Since it is more beneficial to my Great Song, it is worth a try." ”

Gao Di Gong heard Cao Wei's words, stared at Cao Wei and said, "Tell me, what's in it for us?" ”

Gao Chu Gong Ke not only asked Cao Wei about the benefits of signing the covenant to the Great Song Dynasty, but also vaguely asked Cao Wei what benefits it would have for the martial artists to sign the covenant and eliminate the sword soldiers.

Cao Wei said with a smile: "After pacifying the subordinates on the four sides, we will be able to draw more troops to deal with the Liao State." ”

Without waiting for Gao Zhigong to continue to speak, Cao Wei continued: "With the strength of the whole country, we will conquer Yan Yun, if we can't take Yan Yun, we should apologize for our crimes." ”

As soon as Cao Wei's words came out, the civil and military forces in the hall were shocked.

The atmosphere became much more solemn in an instant.

"Ahem......"

Wang Zeng coughed dryly and did not let Cao Wei continue to talk about the topic.

Wang Zeng felt that Cao Wei's words were a bit reckless.

If they really want to take Yan Yun, it's no problem for them to apologize for their crimes.

But can the official family follow and apologize for their crimes?

Wang Zeng coughed dryly and said, "Since you have no objection to the idea put forward by the Ministry of Officials, let's talk about the rules of the covenant." The imperial court did not bind the rules of the covenant much, only one.

Every rule must be beneficial to all subordinates at the same time, and my Great Song can get more benefits. ”

Wang Zeng set the tone.

Gao Chugong, Cao Wei, Zhang Zhibai and others thought about it for a while and began to give their own suggestions.

They gave advice, some pertinent, some extreme, and some ridiculous.

Gao Chu Gong is extremely obsessed with money and war, and he has only one suggestion from beginning to end, that is, to let the subordinates agree, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty can appear in the territory of each subordinate under certain circumstances.

What his intention was in making this suggestion, everyone in the Yanfu Palace knew it.

The old guy didn't have any good intentions at all when he made this suggestion.

He regarded the territories of the Great Song Dynasty as the wheat fields, and he was ready to have nothing to do, so he found a reason to go over and harvest a wave of ruthlessly.

Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai, and even Kou Ji were very disdainful of his idea.

Obviously, he can kill people with a soft knife, coax all his subordinates, and obediently send the things that the Great Song Dynasty needs.

This old guy has to make things bloody and hula.

The ten of them discussed in the Yanfu Palace for a day.

Thirteen rules were eventually agreed upon.

Thirteen rules, each of which is beneficial to both parties.

Thirteen rules, each of which makes it difficult for the fan to refuse.

But there is a terrible killing motive lurking in the shadows.

Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai and others, after taking off their elegant appearance, showed sharp fangs.

It is far sharper than the fangs of Gao Zuo Gong, Cao Wei, Li Zhaoliang and others.

Wang Zeng and a few people, after the thirteen rules were agreed, were stunned to scrutinize word by word.

They have brought the charm of Chinese characters to the extreme.

They hid their killing intentions very deeply, and even Kou Ji, the initiator, was difficult to discover the killing intentions contained in them after getting the regulations.

You know, Ko Jike is an insider.

After the thirteen rules and regulations are drawn up.

Zhao Zhen slowly opened his mouth and said a serious sentence, "I hope that you will keep silent and don't say things that you shouldn't say." Although I have a merciful heart, I will never be relentless when it is time to kill.

I hope that many years from now, I will still be able to sit with all of you.

Even if some of you are gone, so will your children and grandchildren. ”

After Wang Zeng and the others heard this, they all saluted Zhao Zhen.

"......"

Zhao Zhen's words didn't have any murderous words at all.

But every sentence reveals a huge killing machine.

He vaguely told everyone that whoever was going to spread the news and that he didn't mind killing.

And it's not about killing one or two people.

It's the Nine Clans.

Because Zhao Zhen mentioned the descendants of his children.

Whether Zhao Zhen dares to kill or not, everyone in Yanfu Palace knows very well.

Zhao Zhen dared.

Because now in the prison of the Criminal Department, there are hundreds of officials waiting for death.

Zhao Zhen sentenced them to beheading, and he didn't blink his eyes.

It can be seen how ruthless Zhao Zhen's hands are and how hot his heart is.

In the past, there were still rumors in the market that 'you can't punish a doctor'.

Now, whoever dares to say such a thing again will definitely be ridiculed to death by everyone.

Can't get a doctor?

You go to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion and take a look, and then say this.

"You have worked hard, lead the people of Honglu Temple, go to the post houses of each family, take a trip."

Zhao Zhen said indifferently.

Although Honglu Temple is a diplomatic yamen, there are not many important ministers in it.

In the face of all the envoys, it was clearly not enough.

Petty officials and officials go to negotiate covenants with the envoys of various subordinates, and if people can agree, then there will be ghosts.

Therefore, there must be a major minister to come forward and do this.

After Zhao Zhen's voice landed, Kou Ji decisively arched his hand and said: "Qingtang and Yuanshan, hand them over to the minister." ”

Wang Zeng and the others saw that Kou Ji took the initiative to ask for help, and they also followed suit.

In the end, the nine people divided up the envoys in Bianjing City and began to go out of the palace to do things.

Kou Ji left the palace and drove the carriage all the way to the post house in Yuanshanbu.

After giving his name, he was ushered in.

The foreign envoy of the Yuanshan Department, after seeing Kou Ji, expelled some people from the main hall of the post house, leaving only some henchmen to accompany Kou Ji in the main hall of the post house.

"Young Master......"

The people in the main hall of the Yuanshan Department Post House, after Kou Ji sat down, all saluted Kou Ji.
