Chapter 373: The emperor secretly ordered Bao Zheng to deal with the evil elimination team
Li Yinglong's eyes widened and said: When did I say that I wanted to be the emperor, where is this?
Zhao Ying smiled: Scoundrel, don't deny it, isn't it obvious, the emperor was arrested, the country can't be without a monarch for a day, your mother is the queen mother, of course you want to make your brother the emperor, so you are right, and you should be the emperor. You are really not a good person, you want to be the emperor to say, originally this throne is also yours, you can directly ask your brother for this throne back, I think your brother will not return it to you, why do you sacrifice your brother.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong said coldly: Is this the case, if this is the case, then why did my cheap brother arrest me and put me in prison, and after the news of my arrest leaked out, he secretly transferred me to an underground secret room in the palace.
After a pause, he continued: Also, the reason why he didn't kill me right away do you know why? That's because the jade plate my mother gave me wasn't on my body, otherwise I'd have been killed by now, and my body would have been buried deep in the ground.
Hearing this, Zhao Ying was choked and speechless all of a sudden.
Then, Li Yinglong said: But your words reminded me that this game should change its gameplay, it should be played like this, yes, just play it like this, haha, it's interesting, it's so interesting.
But he didn't say how to play, but it must not be a fun way to play.
Hearing this, Zhao Ying was stunned and asked: What kind of change gameplay, what do you mean?
Li Yinglong smiled "hee-hee": It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't mean anything.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he waved his hand to Zhao Ying and said: Ah, I won't talk nonsense with you, it's time for me to go back.
After that, he said to Zhang Yunfang: Daughter-in-law, see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
With that, he pulled out his legs and hurried out.
Zhang Yunfang hurriedly shouted: Ying Long, Ying Long.
But Li Yinglong had already walked out of the house and disappeared, but he sent back a sentence: Crazy woman, don't worry, that bastard emperor I won't let him go to the Great Liao Kingdom, in that case, wouldn't it be too cheap for him, hahaha-------
Hearing this, Zhao Ying angrily stomped his foot on the ground and scolded: Scoundrel, big scoundrel, I'm angry.
Zhao Heng, who had an angry face, walked back and forth restlessly on the ground in the palace, and after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and shouted out: Has the third son come back?
As his words landed, he saw the third eunuch pushing open the palace door and running in in a panic, kneeling on the ground and saying-------, "Poof", "Puff", the emperor, the slave is back, back.
Zhao Heng said angrily: Since you are back, why don't you come to see me?
Sanzi said: If you go back to the emperor -------, when the slave comes back, he sees that the emperor is in a bad mood, and he is afraid of ------- and making the emperor angry, so he doesn't dare to come in to see the emperor, and the emperor ------- spare his life.
Zhao Heng's anger subsided a little, and asked: How is the situation on the Queen Mother's side?
The third son hurriedly said: Your Majesty, the Queen Mother still refuses to eat, lies on the bed and does not speak, and no one listens to persuasion.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was angry and scolded: Bastard, useless things, what do you want them to do, they can't even do a good job of eating, what use do you want them to do.
After that, he shouted angrily to the third son: Spread my will, and arrest all those who served the queen mother and deal with them strictly.
The third son hurriedly said: Your Majesty, the queen went to Cining Palace, and now she is persuading the queen mother.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng's face showed joy and said: Oh, the queen has gone to Cining Palace, okay, great, or the queen is sympathetic.
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the door: The queen has arrived.
As the shouts landed, the palace door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman about twenty years old in palace clothes walked in with light steps, and came to Zhao Heng Ying Ying knelt down and bowed: Concubine, see the emperor.
Zhao Heng hurriedly said: Queen, please get up quickly.
Queen's Road: Thank you, Your Majesty.
Got up from the ground.
Zhao Heng asked urgently: Has the queen mother gotten up to eat?
The queen frowned, shook her head slowly, and said: The queen mother still refuses to eat, but she talks to the concubine.
Zhao Heng hurriedly asked: What did the queen mother say?
The queen said: The queen mother said that when the emperor releases people, she will eat whenever she wants, and if she doesn't let him go, she won't eat until she starves to death.
Zhao Heng said angrily: Nonsense, nonsense.
Queen's Road: Your Majesty, what should I do? Or let the people go according to the queen mother.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng thought for a moment, and then waved his hand to the queen: Empress, you go back first, let me think again.
The queen nodded, turned and walked away.
Zhao Heng walked back and forth on the ground a few times, and then instructed the third eunuch standing on the side: Third son, pass on the king to see me.
The third son hurriedly said: Your Majesty, the king has already come, just outside.
Zhao Heng was stunned: Wang Xiang has already arrived, why don't you report it?
Sanzidao: The emperor ------- just now
Zhao Heng interrupted him impatiently: Forget it, don't explain, the king came in to see me.
The third son responded: Obey the order.
Turning around, he hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Wang Qin walked in from outside, came to Zhao Heng and knelt down and bowed: "Minister, Wang Qin sees the emperor."
Zhao Hengdao: Wang Xiangping.
Wang Qin responded: Thank you, Your Majesty.
Got up from the ground.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Heng said: Wang Xiang, I said that you came here to help me solve a problem.
Wang Qin hurriedly asked: Is it a matter of the Queen Mother going on a hunger strike and not eating?
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was surprised: Wang Xiang already knew.
Wang Qindao: Just now when I was waiting for the emperor's summons outside, the third son's father-in-law said to the minister.
In fact, he listened to what Zhou Jin, the chief manager of Ouchi, told him, and he also went to Cining Palace to take a look, but he didn't go in and peeked outside.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was angry: The third son is really mouthy.
After that, she paused, and then said: The Queen Mother is angry because I arrested ------- Li Zhifu, and she has been on hunger strike since noon yesterday, and the Queen Mother said that if I don't release Li Zhifu, she will not eat until she starves to death, what should I do?
Wang Qindao: This matter is very easy to do, and the emperor immediately ordered the execution of Li Zhifu to eliminate the idea of the queen mother.
Hearing this, Zhao Hengda was shocked: How can it be done, if the Queen Mother has any mistakes because of this incident, wouldn't I be unfilial, and how can I explain to the people of the world.
Wang Qindao: Your Majesty, no, the Queen Mother did this, it was because the Queen Mother knew that the Emperor was a filial son, so she used this method to force the Emperor to comply, forcing the Emperor to release Li Zhifu, but if Li Zhifu is already dead, and the Queen Mother breaks this idea, will the Queen Mother go on a hunger strike and starve herself to death, doesn't the Queen Mother know that she is so dead, it will make the Emperor bear a charge of unfilial piety and be scolded by the world, don't forget, the Emperor is the biological son of the Queen Mother.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng shook his head: Governor Li is also ------ the biological son of the queen mother, I am afraid that your method of breaking the kettle is not suitable for the queen mother, once it angers the queen mother, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If you used your method when the queen mother didn't know that I had secretly arrested Governor Li, it would have been okay, but now it doesn't work, the queen mother already knows, don't forget that the queen mother holds the jade plate of the former emperor in her hand, once the queen mother is angered, the queen mother has the right to call the royal family to depose me as the emperor, so I must not take this risk.
Wang Qindao: Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is alarmist here, you two brothers can only live one, either he dies, or the emperor dies. Your Majesty, if you let go of your brother now, and turn around, your brother will retaliate against you, don't forget, the Queen Mother, Kou Xiang, and Marshal Yang are all on your brother's side.
Moreover, your brother also has the support of the fourteen major sects of the Central Plains martial arts, and the power is extremely huge, it is easy for him to get rid of the emperor, the emperor, filial piety is important, but compared with the life of the emperor and the emperor, the emperor should be able to weigh it out, and I hope the emperor will think twice and make a decision.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, thought for a while and waved his hand to Wang Qin: Wang Xiang, go back first, and I will think about it again.
Wang Qindao: Your Majesty, this matter
It can't be delayed, and it will change later.
After that, he paused, and said: Your Majesty, there is one more thing that must be done, that is, to appoint the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion and disband the eight evil elimination teams established by Kaifeng Mansion, and look for opportunities to remove them one by one, just in case there is a change after the news is leaked.
Zhao Heng didn't say anything, just waved his hand to let him go.
Wang Qin didn't dare to say anything more, and bowed and retreated.
This is an independent small cross-courtyard with a five-room blue brick house in the courtyard, and a small red wooden pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
There was a square wooden table in the wooden pavilion, and the table was full of wine and food, and Bao Zheng, Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, and Ma Han were sitting around the table eating and drinking.
Gongsun Ce suddenly asked Bao Zheng: My lord, it has been several days since we returned to Beijing, why hasn't the emperor summoned your lordship, doesn't the emperor want to know about the situation in Luoyang?
Bao Zheng smiled and said: The emperor may already know the situation in Luoyang, what else to ask, as for whether to summon the mansion or not, it depends on whether the emperor has time, if there is, it may be summoned, if not, it is difficult to say, or it may not be gone at all.
Gongsun Cedao: What does it mean to be gone?
Zhang Long didn't care: If it's gone, it's gone, what else can it mean.
Gongsun Ce said: I didn't mean that, I mean, my lord has returned to the capital now, what will the emperor arrange for us, won't you not meet you, don't ask.
Hearing this, Bao Zheng smiled: It's very possible, haven't you heard that some magistrates are waiting for the emperor's summons in Beijing after leaving office, and they have been waiting for several years?
Zhan Zhaodao: Yes, there are such things, I know several, and some officials waited for the emperor to summon them until the emperor died.
Hearing this, Zhao Hu exclaimed: God! When you die, ah, adults are miserable.
Zhang Longdao: We are also miserable, idle all day without anything to do, like dead people, miserable, really miserable.
Zhan Zhao smiled: Don't worry, we adults won't, if I'm not mistaken, there will be news in the next day or two.
As soon as Zhanzhao's words landed, he heard a shout coming from outside: The holy decree has arrived, and Bao Zheng has accepted the decree.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look outside.
Zhan Zhao was happy: Look, there's news.
At this time, I saw a middle-aged eunuch holding a scroll of holy decrees and walking into the courtyard with four palace guards.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
The middle-aged eunuch came to everyone and asked: Who is Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng took the order.
Bao Zheng knelt on the ground and shouted: Minister, Bao Zheng took the order.
And they all fell to their knees.
The middle-aged eunuch opened the holy decree and read: Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, I heard that the prefect of Luoyang Bao Zheng successfully escaped from the siege of the Luoyang King rebels and returned to Kyoto, I am very happy, and now it is in danger of employing people, and the special order promotes Bao Zheng to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, and the intention is to go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately to take over.
Chin this!
After reading the holy decree, the middle-aged eunuch handed over the holy decree to Bao Zheng's hands.
Bao Zheng held the holy decree in his hand and shouted: Long live, long live, long live!
After that, he and the others stood up from the ground.
Then, I saw the middle-aged eunuch take out a paper envelope from his sleeve and stuff it into Bao Zheng's hand and whispered: Lord Bao, the emperor has another secret decree for you, you can go back and see it yourself, our family still has something to do, so don't bother and leave.
After that, he waved his hand to the four guards and shouted: Brothers, go back to the palace.
Turn around and walk out.
Bao Zheng led everyone to follow behind and send out.
After sending away the middle-aged eunuch who passed the holy decree, Bao Zheng led everyone into the living room and sat down, then reached out and took out the paper envelope from his arms, tore it, took out a piece of paper from it and unfolded it.
The secret decree reads: Bao Zheng, after taking office, he will do two things for me, first, dissolve the eight evil elimination teams established by Li Yinglong, the acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture; Second, eradicate all the henchmen of Li Yinglong, the former acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Chin this!
