Chapter 340: Tongue Battle (3)

"The ministers asked the emperor to punish the king of Guangping County, so as to shock the dynasty and pacify the world! If Zhao Gou is not punished, let him act arbitrarily, it will be difficult to convince the public, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! ”

"The king of Guangping County is the way of Confucius and Mencius, the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Society is solid, and all local officials are loyal to the emperor and benefit the people, and they have made outstanding achievements, but the king of Guangping County does not ask the reason for the recall, and the prison is imprisoned, and it is a great crime of disrespect to disregard the law and discipline!"

"Everyone in the hundred officials is in danger, the people can't sleep at night, the officials work day and night, and how many officials are innocently affected. The scientific examination is imminent, the king of the county is doing this, how many literati are willing to be officials, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of scholars in the world, and there will be no successor at that time, which is the biggest mistake! ”

"Although there is the emperor's will in front, it is a great crime of disrespect for the king of the county to make his own decisions and deceive his superiors and subordinates! Wang Yun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not think about dissuasion, and even the prison of the Criminal Department was overcrowded, Wang Shangshu had a responsibility that could not be shirked, and he should be dealt with strictly! ”

…………

Everyone was indignant, everyone had different opinions, almost half of the ministers were angrily reprimanding Zhao Gou, some were tactful, some were directly provocative, and some said that he had harmed the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou didn't move like a mountain, glanced at it calmly, saw the angry appearance of everyone, and saw the faces of some people who saw the wind and rudder, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Haha! ……”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Gou, surprised, and a little curious; Song Huizong Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, and scolded angrily: "Why are you laughing? ”

"Back to my father, when I heard what you said, I just felt a little ridiculous!" Zhao Gou was full of arrogance, and glanced at everyone mockingly, without fear.

"Oh! ......" Zhao Ji was a little curious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "You can tell me about it!" ”

"Command!" Zhao Gou agreed, proudly erected his chest, walked back and forth straight, looked around again, and shouted angrily: "This is the early dynasty, I didn't want to expose people's strengths and weaknesses in public, but some people don't know what to do, and they still speak ill of each other, how can I let you slander!" ”

"If Zhao has done it, he will never deny it; If it is slandered, no matter who you are, you have to pay! The crowd of people rose up to attack Zhao, I wonder if the adults think that Zhao should confess his guilt and surrender to the law? ”

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai area, do you know what the people think of this matter? Presumably, your lords are just hearsay, and you haven't really gone to investigate and secretly visit to understand the situation! I don't know if Zhao Gou's guess is right? ”

Everyone looked embarrassed, they really didn't go to the people to understand the situation, and what they said before was just based on their own understanding and imagination, and they were shocked by Zhao Gou's calm and indifference.

After a while, everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Gou was angrily reprimanding them. Suddenly, everyone looked displeased, with a straight face, and angrily counted Zhao Gou's no.

"Noise!" Zhao Gou saw that everyone was counting themselves again, this time he didn't hold back, nor did he sit idly by, and roared directly: "You have said too much, whether it is right or wrong, or making something out of nothing, leave it aside for the time being, and we will see later." ”

Zhao Gou's face was gloomy, and he glared at everyone angrily. The originally noisy hall immediately fell silent, and Zhao Gou's gaze swept over, and no one dared to look directly, and avoided it one after another, just because they had no bottom in their hearts.

"You have a large crowd attacking it, counting Zhao's crimes, but do these really exist? If the evidence is conclusive, Zhao doesn't say a word, and goes directly into the prison is deserved; If there is no evidence, then it is a crime to be added, and there is no excuse! ”

Zhao Gou was confident, and said eloquently: "Zhao was favored by the emperor to do this big thing, which is related to the safety of the country and the selection of talents, but you don't know why, you only think that Zhao abuses his private power and excludes dissidents!" ”

"May I ask you, my lordship, does Zhao have a grudge against these people, or are they some people's disciples, and the interests of certain people are involved that make you so angry?"

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, their faces were embarrassed, Zhao Gou's questions, they couldn't answer them, you must know that those people Zhao Gou really didn't know, and Zhao Gou's insinuating words made some people feel like pins and needles.

"Zhao acts above board and has a clear conscience! There are Jin, Liao, Xixia and other countries eyeing each other outside, and there are worries inside, so if the Great Song Dynasty goes on like this, it is really precarious! ”

"Your Excellency swore that you would be loyal to the emperor, and that you would do your best, and that you would die; Then, Zhao asked you a sentence here, 'Those who have been removed from official positions occupy official positions and do not seek political power; Those who were arrested not only occupied official positions, but also embezzled and took bribes, and acted as a prestige in the local area, should they be dealt with strictly? ’”

Zhao Gou's second rhetorical question once again made the ministers speechless, and their whole faces turned red, just because Zhao Gou asked Wang Yun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to take out the evidence of those people, and the real evidence was placed in front of him.

In addition, there are some people with ulterior intentions who look at the mountains of evidence, their faces change drastically, and they panick, just because Zhao Gou did have his disciples or relatives among the officials who were arrested and brought to justice.

"Is there any evidence? When did his power rise to such a large size? The crown prince Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, and he thought secretly: "If this evidence is collected by his forces, it can only mean that he has mastered the power that even I or my father does not know!" ”

Everyone's faces are not good-looking, and it was not the one who impeached Zhao Gou before; Now that Zhao Gou said a few words, he told them to shut up, and they slapped themselves in the mouth, and they were embarrassed and thrown home.

Everyone thought that Zhao Gou was fledgling, but now it seems that everyone has guessed wrong, and the power of Zhao Gou, who has not yet been crowned king, is far beyond everyone's expectations, and he is well prepared, and he is not afraid of the literati making trouble.

The Great Song Dynasty was originally a country that emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and literati have always been valued, and even walked with a bit of pride, that kind of eye is above the top, and the conceited character has been continued.

Even in the DPRK and China, it was the literati who were in power. Although after a series of actions, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong returned to power, it was only the deep-rooted concept that made them all think that they were superior.

Now that Zhao Gou was born, not only changed the situation in the imperial court, but even the literati felt that Zhao Gou was a little unusual, the previous military generals were weak, as if they had suddenly returned to the past, and the military generals became the objects of reliance again, and everyone would be panicked when they thought of this.

has been in a high position for many years, and is used to being powerful, how can anyone be willing to let go of the power in their hands. Zhao Gou ignored the commotion of the literati and the opinions of the scholars, and there were one and two to say, and everything acted in accordance with the rule of law, which made them a little afraid and a little admired.

"The emperor is a Ming monarch, and every time he thinks of this, he urgently expects that someone is really willing to be an official, not for his own promotion and wealth, nor for his own selfish desires, but for the benefit of the people!"

Zhao Gou reprimanded without hesitation: "Your lords, as ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and ministers relied on by the emperor, but you don't know the emperor's heart, and you have played against it. Zhao has a small reputation, a big Song Dynasty, and it is important to share worries and solve difficulties for the emperor, don't you feel ashamed? ”
