Since Wang Sui opened his mouth, he was not afraid of the deterrence of the eldest princess of Deng Guo.

Wang Sui stared at the eldest princess of Deng Guo and said coldly: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, if you don't follow the national laws and family rules, wouldn't the world have been in chaos a long time ago." If a horse condones his servants and destroys the people's land, he violates the law of the land.

The law is unforgiving.

Since the horse has violated the law of the country, how can the minister, as the middle of the imperial history, pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The minister stopped the official family in order to let the official family cure the crime of the horse and sentence the horse. ”

The eldest princess of Deng Guo snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "The horse is the royal family and noble, and the national law cannot control the head of the horse, and the only thing that can convict the horse is the law of Zongzheng Temple." ”

Wang Sui said without humility or arrogance: "The laws of Zongzheng Temple are also the laws of the imperial court. ”

The eldest princess of Deng Guo sneered: "As a great sect, the official family has already punished the concubines......"

Without waiting for the eldest princess of Deng Guo to finish speaking, Wang Sui interrupted her, "The punishment of the official family is difficult to convince the public, so the minister naturally has to ask the official family to make a decision." ”

The eldest princess of Deng Guo stared at Wang Sui, gritted her teeth and said: "Serve the public, who is the public, are you Wang Sui?" ”

Not to be outdone, Wang Sui said: "The people are naturally the people of the world. The minister is the minister of the official family, but he is also the people of the world. ”

Speaking of which.

Wang Sui was too lazy to quarrel with the eldest princess of Deng Guo, in the angry eyes of the eldest princess of Deng Guo, Wang Sui saluted Zhao Zhen and said loudly: "Chai Zongqing, the commander of the horses, connived at the servants to destroy the people's land, not only harming the people, but also causing the official family to bear the notoriety.

The minister thought that he should be punished heavily.

Surely the officials think twice. ”

The eldest princess of Deng Guo had the heart to open her mouth to refute, but when she saw Zhao Zhen standing on the dragon and taking a step forward, she seemed to have the meaning of speaking, and immediately closed her mouth.

Zhao Zhen is now biased towards them, the royal family, they naturally have to maintain Zhao Zhen's majesty, and they can't go against Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen furrowed his brows, looked at Wang Sui, and said, "Wang Sui, I said that I am tired, don't you understand?" ”

Wang Sui faced Zhao Zhen and said solemnly: "The minister is willing to ask the official family to think twice!" ”

Zhao Zhen's face was slightly cold, and he said in a cold tone: "Chai Zongqing, the commander of the horses, destroyed the people's land, and I have already reprimanded him, and I have also repaid the people's money. What else do you want me to do? Kill him? ”

Wang Sui was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.

But I heard Zhao Zhen say again: "The eldest princess of Deng Guo is my imperial aunt, and Chai Zongqing, the commander of the horses, is her husband, and he can be regarded as my elder." Do I want to deal with my elders for three or two acres of private land? ”

"Official ......"

"This is the end of the matter, don't talk about it again."

After Zhao Zhen said this, he flicked his sleeves and prepared to return to the dragon bowl.

Wang Sui's eyes widened, staring at Zhao Zhen in disbelief, he found that Zhao Zhen had become very strange, and he no longer had the previous benevolence on his body, but was a little more arrogant and confused.

"The official family, the embankment of a thousand miles, was destroyed in the anthill! You connived at the destruction of the people's land by Chai Zongqing, the commander of the horses, which is tantamount to fueling their power to do evil. ”

Wang Sui roared loudly as Zhao Zhen stepped into the dragon bowl.

When the emperor's relatives heard Wang Sui's words, their faces were full of anger, pointing at Wang Sui's nose and scolding.

"Presumptuous!"

"It is a felony to slander the royal family and maliciously bite the royal family!"

“……”

Zhao Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, but his face was still indifferent, he turned around, and his cold gaze fell on Wang Sui.

When the royal relatives saw this, their hearts were overjoyed.

Zhao Zhen was obviously angered by Wang Sui, and they opened their mouths one after another, asking Zhao Zhen to punish Wang Sui and teach Wang Sui a lesson.

After listening to the accusations of the emperor's relatives, Zhao Zhen stared at Wang Sui and said coldly: "Wang Sui, I have already said it, this matter has been revealed, why do you still mention this matter again and again."

Don't I have a temper? ”

Wang Sui was about to speak, but Zhao Zhen took the first step and said, "Left and right? ”

"Wechen is here!"

"Xingqing Mansion still lacks a prefect of Quan, so send Wang Sui to Xingqing Mansion to take office."

"Whoa!"

"The middle scholar?"

"Wechen is here!"

"Immediately draft an edict, depose the king from the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and reappoint him to the Xingqing Mansion of Quanzhi!"

"Whoa!"

Zhao Zhen deposed Wang Suiyu Zhongcheng in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and the emperor's relatives and relatives, and sent him to Xingqing Mansion to serve as the prefect, which really scared everyone.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng, that is an important minister with a head and a face in the court.

In the past, if Zhao Zhen was impeached, he would not be punished.

Now because of the impeachment of Chai Zongqing, he has been dismissed.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and they all looked at those imperial relatives.

Those royal relatives saw that Zhao Zhen first dismissed the first-class prince of Shiheng for them, and then dismissed the royal history of Wang Sui, not to mention how arrogant they were, one by one raised their heads, full of sarcasm at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

It seems to be telling the Manchu Dynasty that the world is the world of the Zhao family, we are the people of the Zhao family, we are the master, you are the servants, and the servants are against the master, that is, they are looking for death.

A trace of anger suddenly appeared in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and they gritted their teeth one by one, and saluted Zhao Zhen together.

"The ministers are willing to ask the official family to take back their orders!"

Seeing this, the imperial relatives looked at Zhao Zhen one by one, and they wanted to know how Zhao Zhen dealt with the civil and military persecution of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen looked at the ministers and said coldly: "What are you doing?" Is it forced to the palace? Today's Great Song Dynasty is no longer yesterday's Great Song Dynasty. I don't need to bow my head under pressure.

Now that I've made a decision, I can't change it. ”

Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and sat down in the dragon bowl, and a faint voice came from the dragon bowl.

"Chen Lin, what are you waiting for? Why don't you drive back to the palace? ”

Chen Lin bowed and stood on the wheel of the dragon sword, looking at the Manchu civil and military who was standing motionless, and whispered to Zhao Zhen in the dragon bowl with a bitter face: "The official family, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all standing on the edge of the dragon bowl." ”

Zhao Zhen did not shy away from saying: "They like to stand, so let them stand." ”

Hearing this, Chen Lin glanced at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, sighed, and ordered the eunuchs to drive away.

Seeing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and they clenched their fists one by one, trembling all over.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's dragon slowly leaving, someone finally couldn't help it.

"Official, for the sake of a group of villains, you have killed Zhongliang, right and wrong......"

“……”

Zhao Zhen was as if he hadn't heard them.

Drive all the way away.

The relatives of the emperor glanced at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with sarcasm on their faces, returned to their respective carriages, and followed Zhao Zhen's dragon to Bianjing.

The Manchu civil and military stood in place, refusing to move for a long time.

In the end, it was Wang Yunsheng who broke the silence.

"Let's go back to Beijing first, Duke Lu, Wang Gong, and Duke Zhang are all in Beijing......"

Wang Yunsheng woke up the dreamer with a word.

The Manchu Dynasty realized that the three prime ministers of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were no longer here, and there was no one with weight to speak, so they naturally couldn't persuade the officials.

When he returned to Bianjing City, he told Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai what happened in Suide City, and asked them to go together to admonish the official family, and the official family would definitely get lost.

Thinking of this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people got into the carriage one by one and chased Zhao Zhen's dragon away.

After a while, only Kou Ji, who had been watching coldly, and Wang Sui, who was assigned to Xingqing Mansion as an official, were left in Suide City.

After Kou Ji left the Manchu Dynasty, he did not set off to follow Zhao Zhen's dragon, but ordered someone to go to Zhao Zhen's side to ask for a sick leave, and postponed the trip for a day.

Kou Ji also ordered people to go to Suide City and get some wine and meat.

Then he retreated left and right, and found Wang Sui with wine and meat.

When Kou Ji found Wang Sui, Wang Sui was sitting on the ground, with two lines of tears flowing from his eyes, and his lips were one by one, but he didn't make any sound.

The imperial guards sent by Zhao Zhen were guarding around him.

One of them also had an edict in his hand.

The edict of re-appointing Wang Sui as the prefect of Xingqing Prefecture.

After Kou Ji arrived, several people hurriedly saluted Kou Ji.

"The lowly people have seen the Kou Shumi......"

Kou Ji nodded and ordered, "You guys retreat first, I have a few words to say to Wang Sui." ”

The imperial guards were a little embarrassed.

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them, and when the imperial guards saw this, their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly gave up their hands and left Wang Sui's side.

After the imperial guards left, Kou Ji walked to Wang Sui with wine and meat, and sat on the ground.

As soon as Kou Ji sat down, Wang shouted at Kou Ji in a trembling voice: "Kou Ji, tell me, has the official family been changed by the demons?" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and sighed.

Zhao Zhen suddenly became so mediocre, obviously the blow to Wang Sui was not light.

After Wang Sui was dismissed, the first thing he thought of was not his own official, but Zhao Zhen's safety.

Kou Ji handed Wang Sui a handkerchief, and said seriously: "There are no demons in the world, and even if there is, they can't get close to the official family." The official family is still the official family of the past......"

"Impossible!"

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Wang Sui shouted categorically.

Wang Sui said excitedly: "If the official family is still the previous official family, how can it not pity the people, how can it not punish the wicked person Chai Zongqing...... How can it be...... Such a mediocre ......"

Kou Ji sighed: "The official family is in trouble......

Wang Sui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of trouble?" Could it be that the official family has any handle in the hands of those royal relatives and relatives? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Wang Sui and said with a strange expression: "The throne of the official family was passed down by the first emperor himself, what handle can he be caught?" ”

Most of the handles that kings can fall are related to the inheritance of the throne.

Zhao Zhen's throne was not grabbed, it was handed down by the true sect Zhao Heng.

In terms of the inheritance of the throne, there is no handle at all.

What else could be a king's handle?

Wang Sui gritted his teeth and said: "Then you say, why do the official family want to be relatives of the emperor, and what are the difficulties of the official family?" ”

Kou Ji looked at Wang Sui and said frankly: "You should know how mad those imperial relatives and relatives are when they become troubled. After the official family left Beijing for a few months, they turned the scourge of Bianjing City into a bad one.

When the officials wanted to clean them up, they restrained themselves and were slippery like a loach.

The reason why the officials connived at them was to make them mistakenly think that the officials were facing them, and then they would be unscrupulous.

When they are angry and resentful, the officials will have enough reason to clean them up.

You should know that they are all relatives of the official family, and if they don't make trouble to the point of anger and resentment, it will be difficult for the official family to be ruthless to them. ”

Wang Sui looked at Kou Ji in amazement, looking incredulous.

"Official...... If the officials have this heart, why don't they say it to us? ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "If the official family told you clearly, would you still speak up in Suide City?" ”

Wang Sui was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "I won't ......"

Kou Ji smiled: "That's right...... If the official family makes it clear to you, you will definitely not oppose the emperor's relatives and relatives. If you don't oppose the emperor's relatives and relatives, what will the officials do to boost the prestige of the emperor's relatives and relatives?

If the relatives of the emperor are not majestic enough, how dare they make trouble unscrupulously? ”

Wang Sui hesitated: "But this move of the official family will chill the hearts of many loyal ministers......"

Kou Ji pointed at himself and said with a smile: "So the official family specially left me to solve your doubts." ”

Wang Sui finally showed a smile on his face, "I can become a pawn of the official family to eradicate the wicked, and my Wang Sui has no complaints." ”

"What chess pieces ......"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "The official family has never used you as a pawn. At present, the Western Xia is initially decided, and it is necessary to have important ministers to sit in the town and have important ministers to govern. The official sent you to Xingqing Mansion just to let you help him keep an eye on everything in Xingqing Mansion.

Whether or not my Great Song can digest the territory recovered from Western Xia as soon as possible depends on how you do it in Xingqing Mansion.

The responsibility on your shoulders is no less than that of those of us who sit in Bianjing. ”

When Wang Sui heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he bowed deeply in the direction where Zhao Zhen left.

"Thanks to the trust of the official family, the minister and the king follow, even if he fights for this old life, he will help the official family govern Xingqing Mansion well."

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Wang Sui is not a person who likes to be pretentious, and if he can say this, it proves that he has no complaints about Zhao Zhen's resignation from his position as the Imperial Historian.

Since Zhao Zhen wants to indulge the emperor's relatives and relatives to mess around, then in the next period of time, the imperial history platform and the inner court will definitely become the places where the wind and clouds meet.

If Wang Suiru stays in the Imperial Historical Tower, he will inevitably be coerced by the Manchu Dynasty and his relatives to oppose the emperor's relatives.

When the time comes, the troubles will be one after the other.

Zhao Zhen was dedicated to protecting the emperor's relatives and relatives, and even if Wang Sui said it in the court, it would be useless.

If he stayed in Bianjing City and suffered a crime, it was better to go to Xingqing Mansion as a herdsman.

Zhao Zhen seemed to punish him, but in fact, he pulled him out of the whirlpool of trouble.

He was originally a man who liked to be pure.

Zhao Zhen's move was very much in line with his wishes.

He also felt Zhao Zhen's good intentions.

Therefore, he naturally had no complaints about Zhao Zhen.

Kou Ji's purpose of appeasing Wang Sui was achieved.

After Wang Sui gave a salute to the place where Zhao Zhen left, he spread out his hand and asked Kou Ji for wine.

Kou Ji took out the wine and meat and accompanied Wang Sui to drink it.

I exchanged some experience with Wang Sui in governing the place.

When Kou Ji was slightly drunk, Wang Sui carried the wine jug and rushed to Xingqing Mansion to take office.

The king's servants, the royal guards, followed the footsteps of the king's followers.

Kou Ji was carried into the carriage by the servants, and chased after Zhao Zhen's dragon in a leisurely manner.

The dragon is on the bowl.

After Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin to drive for a long time, he sighed deeply.

In order to win all the royal relatives in one fell swoop, he can be regarded as having made a bloody investment.

Two important ministers were dismissed one after another, and Zhao Zhen didn't want a third one to appear.

But whoever jumped out at this time, even if he was not a loyal and upright person, was a courtier who was worried about the Great Song Dynasty.

If such a courtier loses one, it is a big loss.

Just when Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time, Chen Lin opened the curtain of the dragon's car, entered the dragon's car, and reported in a low voice: "Official, there is a report from the servant of the Kou Mansion, saying that Kou's secret body is sick, and I am afraid that the trip will be delayed for a day or two. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face.

"Send someone to send a few boxes of good supplements to the fourth brother."

"......"

After Chen Lin withdrew from the dragon hunt, Zhao Zhen smiled to himself: "The fourth brother came forward to help me comfort Wang Sui, and Wang Sui should not complain about me anymore." I don't have to lose a good minister because of this. ”

"Very good ......"

“……”

On the way back to Beijing, there were relatives of the emperor and the country, and many incidents were destined to occur.

Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had already decided to return to Bianjing, they asked Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, and Zhang Zhibai to uphold justice.

But in the face of the unscrupulous royal relatives and relatives who are causing trouble everywhere, they still can't stand it.

On the way back to Beijing, four officials spoke out and impeached the emperor's relatives, all of whom were sent to Xingqing Mansion and other places by Zhao Zhenfa without exception.

On the other hand, Kou Ji fell ill four more times.

……

Early March.

Zhao Zhen led the soldiers and horses to the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion.

In order to celebrate Zhao Zhen's triumphant return.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai led the officials who stayed in Bianjing City, as well as some people who came spontaneously, to organize a grand welcome ceremony.

The scale of the scene is unprecedented.

It is said that the people in Kaifeng Mansion spontaneously went to both sides of the official road, saluted Zhao Zhen in unison, and greeted Zhao Zhen's triumph.

You must know that in the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor traveled, unless it was specially organized by the government, otherwise the people did not need to give a salute when they saw the emperor's dragon drive.

Spontaneous gift-giving is even more impossible.

The people spontaneously wanted Zhao Zhen to give a salute, which showed that Zhao Zhen had won the victory in the Liao State and the Western Xia campaign, and won the hearts of the people.

The people not only spontaneously saluted Zhao Zhen, but also spontaneously sent a lot of food and drink to the soldiers in the army.

Tianwu, who has a lot of things, and the soldiers of the upper and lower Tiger Wing Army are embarrassed to take it.

In this conquest of Western Xia, they also fought one or two battles, but none of them were vicious battles.

The vicious battles were all fought by the pro-army under the hands of Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, Liu Heng, Wang Kai and others.

The soldiers of Tianwu and the Tiger Wing Army felt that Zhu Neng and others were more qualified to accept the love of the people than them.

After the people sent their blessings and offered a small gift, they accompanied the soldiers and hugged Zhao Zhen to Bianjing.

When Zhao Zhen walked to the gate of the outer city of Bianjing City, he felt that he needed to say a word or two.

So he climbed the wall in front of everyone, stood on top of it, and made a loud proclaim.

"From today on, my Great Song Dynasty is the true Heavenly Empire, within the four seas, anyone who dares to hurt the people of my Great Song Dynasty will be killed!"

Zhao Zhen's words ignited Bianjing City, ignited the Great Song Dynasty, and ignited the whole world.

He announced to all the people of Bianjing City that the Great Song Dynasty had become the real state of the Celestial Empire.

He announced to all the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty that from then on, no matter where the people of the Great Song Dynasty went, they could raise their heads and be people.

He also declared to all the nations of the world that those who offend my Great Song Dynasty will be killed.

Bianjing City became a sea of sound in an instant.

The sound of mountains and tsunamis is incessant, and it has not stopped for a long time.

In the shouts of the people, Zhao Zhen got off the city, led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the emperor's relatives and relatives, entered Bianjing City, first arrived at the Taimiao, and dedicated the covenant signed by the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State and Li Deming's head to the ancestors.

Then he returned to the palace, rewarded the civil and military, and granted amnesty to the world.

I don't know if Zhao Zhen did it intentionally or deliberately.

Before the amnesty of the world, he first issued a decree to send all the prisoners in the world to Zhenbei Road, Zhenxi Road and other places.

Then the decree of amnesty was issued.

It seems to be an inconspicuous move, but it contains great meaning.

However, not much attention was paid to the move, as most people were immersed in excitement and celebration.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with Koji.

As the initiator of the campaign against Western Xia, Kou Ji returned to Bianjing on the third day after Zhao Zhen returned to Beijing.

After Kou Ji returned to Bianjing, the celebration in Bianjing City was nearing its end.

After Kou Ji entered Bianjing City, he didn't see any other changes in Bianjing City, except that there were many more good people who gave rice porridge in Bianjing City.

Kou Ji ordered the servants to escort Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci back to the palace, and he took an old servant and drove to the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I bumped into Wang Zeng, who was coming out of the palace in a rage.

Wang Zeng seemed to be angry, and walked forward with a sullen head, not looking at the passing carriages, nor getting into his own carriage, like a blindfolded rampaging horse, a fast forwarder.

"Prince?!"

Kou Ji saw Wang Zeng and hurriedly shouted.

Wang Zeng subconsciously glanced at it, "Kou Ji, ......"

And then there was no more, and he continued to walk forward.

After only walking a few steps, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and suddenly stepped down.

"Koji?!"

Wang Zeng hurriedly looked over to Kou Ji's carriage and saw Kou Ji staring at him with a puzzled expression.

Wang Zeng immediately walked to Kou Ji's carriage as if he had seen a savior, and said anxiously: "You are finally back, enter the palace with the old man, and go to persuade the official family together." ”

Kou Ji was dragged out of the carriage by Wang Zengsheng, and while being dragged forward by Wang Zeng, he asked, "What's wrong with the official family?" ”

When Wang Zeng heard this, he shouted indignantly: "The official family is messing around, and it is causing trouble to the country!" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

Wang Zeng realized that Kou Ji had just returned to Beijing and did not know some things, so he hurriedly explained: "The official family wants to reuse the imperial relatives and relatives, and many imperial relatives have been arranged for important positions.

Not only that, but the official family also connived at those royal relatives to mess around in Bianjing City.

The three old men admonished them, but the official family simply didn't even go to court, and hid in the harem and didn't come out. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "The official family is not the imperial relatives who are only starting to connive now, as early as the time of Xingqing Mansion, the official family has already begun to condone the imperial relatives and relatives?"

This is not unusual. ”
