"As Han Gang said, this matter should be handed over to Kaifeng Prefecture for investigation."

Lu Jiawen did not hesitate to echo Han Gang's opinion.

He could see that Han Gang was a little bit out of ground, otherwise why would he need to emphasize it so much?

Listening to Han Gang's tone, he insisted on treating Cai Jing as a serious crime, and he had a hundred of them, but finally had this opportunity, could he get his wish?

The chamberlain who reported on his behalf said the report of Kaifeng Mansion in court. From Shen Kuo's order, he left the palace, commanded the lower subordinates of Kaifeng Mansion, cooperated with Li Xin and Wang Hou to search the city, and pacified Li Shu; When Zhang Piguang and Wang Hou captured Cai Jing and Cai Wei, they all explained them one by one. Especially Cai Jing and Cai Wei, in the report from Kaifeng Mansion, it was clearly mentioned that Cai Jing was preparing to send Cai Wei to the official.

Without the approval of Shen Kuo, who has the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, there will never be this article in the report from Kaifeng Mansion.

Han Gang has helped Shen Kuo many times, but if it is not for Han Gang's strength, how can Shen Kuo, who is hated in both the old and new parties, return to the court?

When Shen Kuo saw Wang Anshi resign and return to his hometown, he planned to switch to Wu Chong, but Wu Chong hated him as a person, refused to accept it, and played truthfully, which made the Son of Heaven angry. Originally, Shen Kuo was about to be demoted to the south, but it was Han Gang who helped him and allowed him to go to western Beijing to make meritorious contributions.

And just a few days ago, Han Gang was in the Chongzheng Palace, first seeking the third envoy for him, and having a bad relationship with Lu Jia, and then he was promoted to be a bachelor of Hanlin and let him return to the ranks of the two systems.

Han Gang can be said to be kind to Shen Kuo, but the only problem is that Shen Kuo is not a grateful person at all.

Sure enough, it is Shen Cunzhong, who is brave and loyal, and is as loyal as ever......

Li Ding playfully watched the expression that flashed on Han Gang's face, and he wondered if Han Gang was regretting it now.

Shen Kuo's character is already worrisome, and his performance at this time is even more evident. If Shen Kuo really had the heart to help Han Gang, he wouldn't even report Cai Jing tying up Cai Wei.

Directly sending Cai Jing to prison, killing and maiming him before the imperial court sends someone down, and not giving him a chance to speak, is the most beneficial choice for Han Gang.

With Han Gang's prestige and popularity among the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Shen Kuo presiding over it, the government judgment Zhang Biguang also wants to serve Han Gang, some people cover it up, and some people carry it out, and it is not difficult to kill a Cai Jing at all. After the incident, it was reported that he was afraid of the crime and sentenced himself, or he died of illness, how to investigate?

But Shen Kuo didn't do it. He chose what was best for himself.

It seems that everyone knows what Han Gang has gained and lost in this rebellion.

"The same is true of the minister's will. Whether Cai Jing has ever sent Cai Wei can be interrogated by Kaifeng Mansion and supervised by Yushitai. ”

Li Ding cooperated with Lu Jia to ask, but added another one, intending to be just in case.

After all, in Kaifeng Mansion, even if there is no Shen Kuo, there is still Zhang Piguang. Unexpectedly, this speculative villain pressed the treasure on Han Gang's body again.

Although the report is only high-sounding news, it is impossible to disclose the selfishness of Shen Kuo and Zhang Piguang, but the ministers in the column do not know how much they roll in the officialdom, and they can see through the real thoughts of the two and what they have done, and what they can't do is the exception.

"Cai Jing villain, how can his private prosecution be accepted?" Zhang Qi said.

Lu Jiawen immediately responded, "So you have to interrogate clearly." ”

"Cai Jing is cunning, he conspired with Cai Cheng in advance, and if he fails, he will immediately fight back, according to his past character, he should be able to do it." Li Ding turned his head and looked at Han Gang, "Your Highness can ask Han Gang if Cai Jing can do this with Cai Jing as a person." ”

Han Gang Bingwat bowed: "Cai Jing's personality is a person, and the ministers are involved in affairs, so it is not appropriate to have a denial." Since it was handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation, he could know the authenticity later. ”

The voice was so calm that it didn't seem to feel that Li Ding was playing the trick of attacking the shield with the spear of the son. Regardless of Cai Jing's character, as long as his counter-attack is confirmed, then he is within the scope of pardon.

Pretending to be calm will not help. Lu Jia asked and sneered secretly.

Above the court, Shen Kuo had long been regarded as Han Gang's person. But what he did today is not half similar. Shen Kuo is a well-known rudder. knew about it, but still recruited this person, and he deserved to be pulled back.

"Why didn't Cai Jing kill Cai Wei with one sword?" Lu Jia asked.

"Murder and silence are evident."

Kill somebody to do away with a witness.

When Li Ding emphasized, his two eyes were also glancing at Han Gang.

This is a warning, don't expect to kill Cai Jing and rest easy.

Han Gang wanted to kill Cai Jing, and it was impossible to do it himself, so he could only let his subordinates do it. There are many people involved, and as long as you want to interrogate, you will definitely be able to find out.

Lu Jiawen and Li Ding's style made Wang Anshi frown. There are only a few places vacated, how can it be like a hungry dog grabbing food?

Attacking Han Gang and opposing Zaifu, can the Queen Mother choose their successor? In order for the Queen Mother to understand, what they did was too straightforward.

Wang Anshi glanced at the screen.

Li Ding, Lu Jia asked, and even Shen Kuo and Zhang Piguang, and suddenly made a fuss about Cai Jing.

Even if the Empress Dowager Xiang can't compare to the shrewdness of the courtiers, it is impossible not to understand their intentions.

Li Ding and Lu Jia asked, their attitudes were already very obvious against Han Gang. They may really be able to succeed, but that's not what Wang Anshi likes to see.

"Whether Cai Jing is guilty or not can be interrogated by the Kaifeng Mansion to understand, and there is no need to say more."

However, Wang Anshi didn't want Han Gang to have one less halter on his head. Han Gang was too dangerous in every way, especially for the important ministers who had only seen him kill Cai Qu with a hammer at close range.

"If there is something unsatisfactory in the analysis of Kaifeng Mansion, it will be reviewed by the law division."

The same words come from different people's mouths, and the intentions are completely different.

Wang Anshi was not completely at ease with his son-in-law, everyone in the court knew this, but no one expected that he would show it so directly.

"With so many cases pressed on Shen Kuo alone, what should Kaifeng Mansion do?"

Behind the screen, the originally clear attitude suddenly became ambiguous again.

"There are judges, and there are pushers." Han Gang replied immediately.

“…… That is, as Zhu Qing said, it will all be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. ”

No one objected anymore. The controversy over how to deal with the rebellious henchmen came to an end for the time being, until the Kaifeng Mansion had a result.

The result was as Han Gang invited, but no one thought it was Han Gang's victory.

But Han Gang's eyes in the face of everyone were unwavering firm.

It's one thing to borrow Shen Kuo, but it's another thing to put hope on Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo's question will be said later, even if he really makes the wall grass, whether he screws it back or pulls it out, Han Gang can do it.

And Zhang Biguang's reversal is even more unexpected. It seems that I will get closer to Zhang Biguang in the future. With him staring at Kaifeng Mansion, Shen Kuo will also be restrained if he wants to do something.

In addition, there was another thing, Han Gang's eyes swept the colleagues around him, it may be that his own attitude was misunderstood, which made Li Ding and Lu Jia ask them a mistake.

Cai Jing was the best, and it was what Han Gang was looking forward to. Therefore, Fang Cai did have some slackening, which made Li and Lu think that they had found a flaw that could be used.

But Cai Wei is still alive, Cai Shuo is still alive, and the punishment who should have participated in the planning of the rebellion is also alive, and they will all be sent to Kaifeng Mansion Prison to await trial.

Isn't that enough?

"A group of traitors from the party will be sent to Kaifeng Mansion, so how should Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang deal with it? Han Qing, what do you say? ”

The Queen Mother was obviously very tired, and as soon as the previous events were over, she brought up the matter of Zeng and Xue again. With the previous buffer, she believes that the argument should be resolved sooner.

Han Gang stood up: "Before this, there is something that the minister should ask?" …… Dare to ask Your Highness, how should Zhao Hao deal with it? ”

"Isn't it death? Send him a white silk, I don't want to see him tomorrow! The Queen Mother's reply was extremely decisive, and she was really disgusted with her deceased husband's second brother.

And Han Gang then asked: "What about his son Xiaoqian?" ”

“…… Destroy its jade, remove it from the genealogy, and find a place to keep it. Han Qing, what do you think? ”

"Your Highness's judgment is that there is nothing to change in the courtiers, and there is nothing to change in it. That's right. Han Gang nodded, and said, "Since the first evil and the party have all been decided. How Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang deal with it can be used as a reference. ”

As soon as Zhao Hao died, there was no one left of the four chief evildoers. Although the party has not yet been interrogated, the two sides have argued to the most extreme end, that is, a pardon.

The disposition of them is the boundary between Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang.

Han Gang took everyone around in a circle, and finally decided on the scope of the case.

"Since Zhao Hao was given death, for the sake of stability in Beijing, he also asked His Royal Highness to be lenient with Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang. According to the law, the accomplice should also be punished as the principal offender. ”

"Zhao Hao is the second brother of the first emperor, the second son of Yingzong and the emperor, otherwise how could he escape Ling Chi's capital punishment?"

"Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang are both scholars, the story of the dynasty, how could there ever be a scholar who died in Lingchi?"

"In any case, the first evil has been indulged, and Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang should not be considered to die."

"It's still Han Qing's words that are reasonable."

The Queen Mother's words made Lu Jia ask for a while. From her tone, it was clear that she was tired of the ongoing arguments.

Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang are not enough, if they evil the Queen Mother, the gains outweigh the losses. I can't twist the Queen Mother's mind anymore.

"But it's not enough to be punished."

"The minister thought that the people should be exiled to the southern or western regions. Three thousand miles or less, ten thousand miles is enough. ”

"Jiaonan is full of miasma, more barbarians, less people. Although the Western Regions is bitter cold and lacks water, life is not very difficult. ”

Life is not very difficult in the Western Regions, which is really a joke. Except for a few oases, life there is not something that Chinese people can imagine. It is not something that can be imagined by a cadre who lives a pampered life in the capital with the dignity of the slaughter and auxiliary service system.

But compared with the climate and epidemic diseases in Jiaonan, it is indeed much lighter. The extreme south of Jiaozhou is more terrifying than the Lingnan states.

"There is a lack of population in the Western Regions."

"It is true that the Western Regions lack population, but the Western Regions are mixed with tribes and enemies, and if China's secrets are leaked, it will be a harm to China. When Jiaonan is yes. ”
