Chapter 725

"It turns out that you are the loyal and loyal ministers of my Great Song Dynasty, the pillar of the country, for their own selfishness, selling the forbidden things of our Great Song Dynasty to the enemy country, and even some people even sold the information such as the deployment of the troops of the northwest border army of our Great Song Dynasty to the Western Xia ......"

Zhao Xu's tone seemed very calm and desolate, looking at these ministers, many of them had been praised by the emperor's grandmother, and they were quite prestigious in the court and the opposition.

But today, seeing the detailed confessions, even if those confessions and confessions that have also arrived at the palace Zhao Xu has not seen with his own eyes, but he is also very clear. Su Dongpo and Wang Yang did not dare and could not deceive in such a major matter involving more than 100 officials.

Liu Zhi stood up with a disgraced face and fell to the ground. "Your Majesty, the minister is responsible for the saebotage, but he has not been able to fulfill his ......"

"Enough!" Zhao Xu slapped the royal case hard, interrupting Liu Zhi's words of self-blame. "In the compromise, all the officials involved in the case in Beijing will be escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai will be interrogated ......"

"I hope that you will not let me down again, otherwise, you will bear the consequences and retreat from the ......court," Zhao Xu said no longer and walked away.

And dozens of royal front-guards with helmets and armor rushed into the hall, grabbed the fourteen important ministers of the court who were paralyzed on the ground, and dragged them out of the main hall.

Looking at this scene, all the ministers of civil and military affairs present couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, and the unfinished threatening words of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, were like a sharp sword hanging above his head, as if he would fall down at any time and go straight to the heavenly spirit.

The cries and cries for help of the officials who were dragged away still lingered in the ears of these ministers, and Liu Zhi slowly closed his eyes, and it took a long time to hold on to his crumbling body without falling. "Do you understand what Your Majesty means?"

"Thorough investigation, detailed examination, if you dare to have a cover-up, a confession, a slack...... The official will write to His Majesty and punish these people as crimes! Liu Zhi's gaze was fierce at this moment.

"Don't be dismissive, don't forget that outside the court, there are countless officials, eyeing the location here. There are also those officials who were degraded in the past, and they never forget to return to the court......"

Liu Zhi's naked words made everyone's hearts feel terrified, and all distractions were gone, and they didn't dare to have any more messy thoughts.

"One hundred and thirty-seven officials, ranking five and above, there are twenty, ninety-six civil officials, forty-one military generals, so many officials, can they really all be condemned one by one?" Zhu Guangting slowly walked out of the hall with Liu Zhi, who was obviously stumbling, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, you are young and vigorous, and now, my Great Song Tiger is in the northwest, and I have won successive battles, which has already made Your Majesty ambitious. And we waited in the court, and I have obstructed His Majesty's will a lot, which has already made His Majesty very unhappy. ”

"And today's matter, if Your Majesty can endure it and not use the topic to play, it will be a strange thing, and you can only blame those bastards for doing too much, even such things as copying foreign countries and exterminating the family can be done......"

"But Liu Xiang, although these people are not angry, but after all, they are all capable officials of my Great Song Dynasty, if more than 100 officials are reduced at once, this court will inevitably be chaotic." Jia Yi also stepped forward and said carefully in his words.

Over there, Liang Tao couldn't help but smile coldly. "Do you think the Son of Heaven is not clear? But do you think that with today's temper, he can tolerate such an official and continue to stay in the court? ”

"Even if he can't bear it, but he can't let the court not function, if the empress dowager is still hanging the curtain, he will definitely consider it carefully." Jia Yi retorted.

"That's right, the Empress Dowager!" Liu Anshi slapped his thigh. "Nowadays, only the Empress Dowager has the ability to stabilize the court."

"What do you mean......" Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Liu Anshi's body. There was also a slight movement in my heart. Although he was deeply ashamed of the actions of these officials, they were ultimately his colleagues, and some of them were still the backbone of the old party.

If it is for such things, they will all be taken down, even if His Majesty does not deliberately hand over these positions to the former Yuanyu New Party, but for the old party, it will definitely be a heavy blow.

"Liu Xiang, this matter, the lower officials also feel that they can consider a thing or two......" Zhu Guangting's eyes also lit up, and he looked at Liu Zhidao with an expectant face.

All the old party bigwigs have set their eyes on Liu Zhi, the court's chief assistant.

"You, alas...... The old man, the old man can only show this old face and beg the mother, I only hope that the mother is willing to see the old man. Liu Zhi finally softened his heart.

"However, even if this time the mother really stood up and calmed down the matter, if those people ...... in the future"

"Liu Xiang, you can rest assured, if they dare to have another accident, without your appearance, I will not let them go."

"I hope you, and I hope they can behave for themselves...... Liu Zhi waved away, and after a eunuch whispered a few words, he stood under the eaves of a palace and waited with peace of mind.

And Zhu Guangting and the others also stopped cheekily, waiting anxiously in their hearts, and kept looking in the direction where the little eunuch disappeared.

They didn't have to wait too long before a familiar figure appeared in their sight.

"It's actually Manager Xu, Liu Xiang, and Manager Xu came over in person, it seems that this matter should be somewhat certain." Jia Yi, Liu Anshi, Zhu Guangting, Liang Tao and others couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they almost celebrated with a crown.

"Our family has seen Liu Xiangye and all of you." After Xu Degong stepped forward with a smile, he saluted these old party bosses.

"It doesn't have to be like this, such a small thing, why should Mr. Xu come over in person, you just send a little eunuch to guide the way." Liu Zhi's face also showed a sense of relaxation, and he was even in the mood to chat with Xu Degong.

"It's not that our family doesn't want to, it's just that my mother is tired and resting, where do we dare to disturb, and Liu Xiangye, you said that there is something, our family naturally wants to come over to inquire, what is the matter, and we can consider whether we should return to our mother." Xu Degong explained with a smile.

Several people looked at each other in amazement, and Liu Zhi also looked at Xu Degong with some muttering in his heart, but finally said what he meant. told Xu Degong, Su Dongpo and Wang Yang about the joint performance.

“…… For the stability of the court of my Great Song Dynasty, and in order not to let the government and the opposition be too turbulent, the old man wanted to ask to see the Empress Dowager. Liu Zhiqing explained sincerely.
