Chapter 581: The Second Emperor



The inner hall of Kaifeng Mansion is guarded by layers, and Wu Zhi is even more heavily guarded outside when he meets officials here, even if Cai Jing comes, someone will communicate in advance. "Co*Fun*Words*Love*First*Fa ()』

But the old man who walked in at this time, wearing a red background auspicious cloud four-clawed black dragon robe and a jeweled jade crown on his head, had the ability to go straight to any place in Kaifeng Mansion.

This old man is Zhao Cheng, Prince Cheng, the second brother of Zhao Ji's father Song Shenzong, that is, the second uncle of the current emperor. When people go to the palace to see the emperor, no one dares to stop them, let alone a Kaifeng Mansion.

In fact, there are many children of the royal family, Zhao Ji not only has the second uncle, but also the emperor's uncle, the third emperor's uncle, the fourth emperor's uncle and many imperial uncles, these people are all princes, and most of them are still alive, and the uncle's uncle is worthless, and other princes do not have such a high prestige at all.

And the reason why this second emperor is still so domineering is because he was a well-known virtuous king in the court when he was young, he was loyal, very capable, and had many outstanding political achievements, and he had a lot of qualifications in the court, which was incomparable to other princes; Second, since the untimely death of Shenzong, the second master has played a pivotal role in supporting the succession of the two emperors, first of all, Zhao Ji's brother Song Zhezong, who was led by the second master to the dragon chair when Zhezong inherited the throne.

Later, Zhezong died young, and there were no children under his knees, and it was the second emperor and the harem queen mother who picked out Zhao Ji from Zhezong's brothers to inherit the throne, and has been sitting until today.

Therefore, Zhao Ji has always respected the second emperor more than his father, and when the second uncle was on his sixth birthday the year before last, Zhao even led hundreds of officials to bow to the old man three times, and the father-son ceremony was performed, which shows the respect of his status. As for the usual second uncle entering the palace to see Zhao Ji, not only did he not have to report and wait, but after the meeting, Zhao Ji dared to sit down after the second uncle sat down.

"I'm waiting to meet Prince Cheng"

Wu Zhi and the others hurriedly bowed their heads.

"Wu Zhi, I came uninvited this time, you won't be surprised, right?"

The second uncle stroked his white beard, and looked at Wu Zhi's eyes a little unusual.

"How dare you dare the old prince to come, Wu Zhi is terrified," Wu Zhi said respectfully, "Old prince, please sit down." ”

"What is the name of the old prince, I don't like to hear you, if you don't dislike it, just call me the second master"

Zhao Cheng smiled and waved his hand to Wu Zhi, and then sat in the first place with the noblely decorated dragon head crutch in his hand.

Wu Zhi couldn't help wiping his cold sweat, he didn't dare not listen to the words of the old prince, but it was a bit rude to call the second master directly, so he planned to look at the situation and decide whether to change his words.

When Zhao Cheng came, the two main seats were naturally occupied by him and Brother Murong, and Wu Zhi could only retreat to the next seat.

"I just heard that you plan to impeach Zhu Mian, but there is such a thing"

After sitting down, Zhao Cheng went straight to the point and asked everyone directly.

The officials were dumbfounded for a while, but Murong Yanda replied without scruples: "Second uncle, you don't know, just now we have listened to the investigation process of the Sun family's case, then Zhu Mian is definitely the real murderer behind the scenes, Zhu Wen is just the one he found to blame, so we plan to impeach and expose him."

"Zhu Mian is really the real murderer behind the scenes," Zhao Cheng looked at Wu Zhi after hearing this.

"That's true, but it's really hard to find a flaw in his trick of finding Zhu Wen to blame, and we have nothing to do in Kaifeng Mansion for a while."

Wu Zhi said, his eyes glanced at the dragon head crutch in the hand of the second emperor, he knew that this thing was a treasure and it was different from a treasure in the ordinary sense, ordinary treasures were just rare materials or exquisite workmanship, and their functionality was limited.

And the dragon head crutch in the hands of the second emperor is terrible, it is given by the god himself, and he has the privilege of beating the unconscious king and the traitorous minister, whoever has this treasure can immediately walk sideways in the Great Song Dynasty, even Zhao Ji is not afraid, this is something sent by his father, where does he dare to be disobedient.

Looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are only two other treasures that can be compared to it, the same is the Shang Fang sword, but this kind of big sword is rarely sacrificed, but when the country is at war, the front line is not effective, and the imperial court will send officials to take the Shang Fang sword to supervise the army, and there is the privilege of cutting first and then playing, but it can only be a military general who makes a mistake in battle.

There is also a treasure that is the dragon, tiger and dog three-seat guillotine in Wuzhi's Kaifeng Mansion, and it also has the right to cut first and then play, but the privilege of these three guillotines has long been in the past.

In short, the dragon head crutch in Zhao Cheng's hand is the first treasure of today's Great Song Dynasty, this baby really dares to beat the emperor in Zhao Cheng's hands, and beating traitors is even more pediatric, so Zhao Cheng will make the Manchu Dynasty cultural relics officials both respectful and afraid, and if you can't keep this old man in a bad mood, he will knock you up, and you haven't reasoned yet

"Hmph, this king knows that Zhu Mian is not a good thing, and he is really angry," Zhao Cheng Ciya's face showed anger.

Wu Zhi and the others immediately looked at each other, a little puzzled why the old prince was so angry, not long after he helped Zhao Ji ascend the throne, he retreated into the background and rarely asked about the government, even if Zhu Mian found someone to blame this time, but the Kaifeng Mansion has not yet closed the case, everything is still unknown, and it should not be so anxious to be angry.

What's more, the old prince is famous for his good temper.

It seemed to see the puzzlement of Wu Zhi and others, Zhao Cheng paused for crutches, sighed and said: "You don't know yet, Sun Xin who suffered is my student, and I am also friends with him, he was still a hairy boy back then."

Zhao Cheng roughly said the relationship between him and Sun Xin, it turned out that Sun Xin met Zhao Cheng by chance when he was not in the Jinshi, and the two were very close to each other, Sun Xin worshiped Zhao Cheng, but Sun Xin was arrogant, and he was unwilling to use Zhao Cheng's name to get rich after winning the Jinshi, so he has been hiding his master-apprentice relationship with Zhao Cheng.

Although Zhao Cheng did not promote Sun Xin in terms of promotion, he gave Sun Xin a lot of useful guidance in handling government affairs and his experience as an official, which also made Sun Xin more and more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and his official voice became louder and louder, and he had the title of "ghost and sorrow" in officialdom.

Later, when Sun Xin was the number one member under Zhu Mian in Sichuan, he asked the old prince in Bianjing for help for the first time, and finally eradicated the moth.

So when he learned that Zhu Mian was the real murderer, Zhao Cheng was so angry, when he learned that Sun Xin's family was killed, he was seriously ill and lay down for half a month.

"If you want to impeach Zhu Mian, this king will take the lead for you, and I will personally come forward and say to the emperor."

After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, everyone present was overjoyed, with the old prince joining, then they were almost 100% sure that they could knock down Zhu Mian.

"Great, second uncle, if you are willing to go out, Zhu Mian will definitely not be able to escape"

Wu Zhi followed Brother Murong and called out to Second Master Zhao Cheng, paused, and continued: "But Second Uncle, you can't take the lead, it's best not to make a move yet." ”

Zhao Cheng listened to Wu Zhi's words, groaned slightly, and then smiled slightly: "Wu Zhi is right, the old man is a little superior." ”

Everyone is mixed in the officialdom, and they have more or less experience in political struggles, and if you think about it, you will understand that the old prince is a trump card, and if it is played too early, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"Wu Zhi, about the impeachment of Zhu Mian this time, it's up to you to arrange it."

After some talking, Zhao Cheng also trusted Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi bowed slightly, cleared his throat, and said to everyone: "Although we have the help of the second uncle, we can't be careless, we must take it step by step." Now the point that can attack Zhu Mian is the testimony of Lao Hu, a witness in Kaifeng Prefecture, whose testimony refers to Zhu Mian. We just need to use this point to refer to him, and we must not fabricate accusations and deliberately smear him, and we must not mention his other evil deeds, so we can seize this point."

"Let's take the lead with Lord Tang and Lord Wen."

In general, the impeachment is divided into two stages, the first stage is to bite Zhu Mian to death is the real murderer, and to impeach him if he is dead, this is to try Zhao Ji's attitude again, once Zhao Ji is a little lax, then the second emperor will appear and take Zhu Mian down in one fell swoop.

If Zhao Ji insists on defending Zhu Mian, then the key goal of everyone's impeachment in the future is to demote Zhu Mian to the outside world, and it is best to demote the official to Hebei, northwest and southwest, as long as it is not anywhere in Jiangnan, with the cooperation of the second emperor, it should not be difficult to do this, as long as Zhu Mian is demoted from Bianjing, it will be much easier for Wu Zhi and them to kill Zhu Mian.

In short, Zhu Mian must be punished as he deserves

After the arrangement, Zhao Cheng also looked at Wu Zhi with appreciation, he had already realized Wu Zhi's good intentions, and he would not let him and Zhao Ji tear their faces no matter what. You must know that if Zhao Cheng forced Zhao Ji to punish Zhu Mian, Zhao Cheng could easily do it, but in that case, the relationship between grand-nephew would break down. Zhao Ji is the emperor after all, and he is Zhao Cheng's own nephew, and Zhao Cheng doesn't want to have trouble with his nephew.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi thought thoughtfully, and Zhao Cheng naturally looked at Wu Zhi differently.

After the officials left, Zhao Cheng did not leave, but looked at Wu Zhi with a smile and subtlety.
