Zheng Zhi was obliquely holding the long knife that was still dripping blood, with a bloody face, and scanned the people in the court with cold eyes.

Above the court, no one even spoke again, and they couldn't even raise their heads.

The murder in the hall is too appalling, Zhao Ji is still sitting on the top of the hall, but Zheng Zhi is not in agreement with the knife and beheading, this Great Song Dynasty, even hundreds of years before and after any court, in front of any emperor, this kind of thing has never happened.

The Great Song Dynasty has arrived now, the country is about to be ruined, and there are hundreds of people in the court, but none of them are men! Maybe you really want to count the courtiers who were quite strong in the late Northern Song Dynasty, such as Zhang Shuye, but at this time in Shandong, facing the upcoming Yan Wang's pawn, he was also in a dilemma.

Zong Ze was forty at this time, and Zong Ze had been convicted of disrespecting Taoism before, and he had just regained his freedom two years ago and was activated again. Now it's just a general sentence in Bazhou.

Counting these big and small officials in the court, Zheng Zhi did not know most of them, and even Zheng Zhi had never communicated with everyone in the court.

Zheng Zhi before didn't even have the qualifications to make friends with these people. has not entered the official school, has no teacher, has not taken the imperial examination, and just a few poems by Zheng Zhi are not even qualified to enter this real literati circle. Some of the Tokyo scholars who had dealt with them were just elementary school students in front of these officials.

Zheng Zhi has never really entered the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. Before the situation changed, Zheng Zhi in the hearts of these officials was just a relatively capable martial artist under Tong Guan, even if he was named a civil official, he was just a martial artist with a civil official name under a eunuch.

Until now, these top groups of the Great Song Dynasty scholars knew that a martial artist could shed thousands of miles of blood when he was angry.

"Who else?" Zheng Zhi's figure slowly turned, looking at everyone in the court, and shouted fiercely.

Who else? At this time, there is naturally no one, and no one wants to come forward to die.

Zhao Ji's face was pale, things were beyond Zhao Ji's expectations, the reason why Zhao Ji was beyond Zhao Ji's expectations was only because Zheng Zhi was too respectful and polite before, which made Zhao Ji have a delusion about Zheng Zhi, and only felt that Zheng Zhi should be like a seed teacher, even if Zhao Ji had a guilt about the seed master, the seed master was not aware of the previous suspicions, and even died to show his will.

Zhao Ji's illusion was that he thought that he was so introspective and admitted his mistakes, and Zheng Zhi also behaved extremely respectfully. Then Zheng Zhi should also be loyal to him like a teacher.

The scene was already a little embarrassing, Zheng Zhi was looking around with a long knife, and the military man on the side of the pillar also put his hand on the hilt of the knife, staring at him. The ministers trembled even more and bowed their heads silently.

Zhao Ji stood up and said a roundabout: "Zheng Qing, everyone in the palace is a meritorious minister of the imperial court, and he has done his best for the country and the people. Zheng Qing probably misunderstood, I am coming to the court again, there should have been some etiquette procedures, but the current situation is a little helpless, everything is in power, and I should make it clear to you. ”

Zheng Zhi heard Zhao Ji's words to ease the atmosphere, stopped his figure, looked back at Zhao Ji, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, most of you in the court are loyal and righteous. But there are also many chaotic ministers and thieves, if it weren't for the chaotic ministers and thieves in the court, how could His Majesty be wronged like this. Now that the minister has entered Tokyo, he wants to wipe out these chaotic ministers and thieves for His Majesty's side. To treat these disloyal and unfilial people, we must kill, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing is not enough to tell the world! ”

Zheng Zhi's tone was extremely tough, and it didn't seem to be the tone of talking to the emperor at all.

Zhao Ji naturally sounded a little harsh, but he couldn't, so he hurriedly staggered the topic and said: "I am coming to the court today, and I want to come to the court and all the ministers are supportive, Zheng Qing quickly collected the sword soldiers, and the hall killed people, which is really a bit inappropriate." ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he didn't put away his sword, but turned his head to look at these officials, and said: "From today on, the three provinces of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia are all managed by the Yanwang Mansion, and the front division of the palace and the Privy Council are also temporarily managed by the Hebei generals. After investigating the rebellious ministers and thieves in the Qing Dynasty, I will discuss with you about the matter of the servants shooting the servants. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji's face turned pale, and at this time, Zheng Zhi was already trying to see the dagger, where could Zhao Ji not understand.

Even many officials were so surprised that they couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Zheng Zhi.

The words of escrow and temporary management couldn't deceive Zhao Ji, so he heard Zhao Ji ask: "I don't know how King Yan is going to find the rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”

Zhao Ji asked this, because he wanted Zheng Zhi to say a way, at least a procedure for how to hand over. When and under what circumstances can the power be exchanged for the imperial court.

I only heard Zheng Zhi reply: "Your Majesty, the law of the minister is the most reasonable." That is, all the property of officials should be investigated, but all the property that cannot be explained as a reasonable and legal source will be confiscated, and the amount is particularly huge, it will certainly be the proceeds of corruption and bribery, and the loan will not be given. In this way, the reputation of the court can be ensured. Those who are corrupt and accept bribes should be publicized to the people and scolded by the people of the world, so as to correct the public and show His Majesty's benevolent government. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart was a mess again, if it was according to the law, Zheng Zhi said that there was no problem. But Zhao Ji knew in his heart that these officials were all rich, so they couldn't stand the inspection. What's more, the Great Song Dynasty itself advanced and retreated with scholars, so it could not act like this.

I heard Zhao Ji say in a consultative tone: "King Yan, this method is good, but Taizu has a saying, when you rule the world with scholars, the royal world is also the world of scholars." It doesn't hurt if the doctor is a little richer. King Yan should be lenient to others, and he will be grateful in the future, not too strict, so that everyone in the world is in danger, which is to mess up the foundation of the country. What does King Yan think? ”

When many officials heard Zhao Ji's words, they breathed a sigh of air, and now the entire city of Tokyo is under the sword, and Zhao Ji's words do not know how many people's hearts have been gathered.

Everyone went to see Zheng Zhi again to see what Zheng Zhi's reaction would be. But I heard Zheng Zhi speak: "Your Majesty is reasonable, the minister will not treat people harshly, and he should be friendly with all the pillars of the court." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his mood was a little better, he looked at the people in the hall, and under such an atmosphere, he really didn't want to stay longer, so he sighed and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can retreat." ”

After saying this, Zhao Ji had already gotten up and walked behind the screen. The eunuch trembled and shouted a retreat.

The hundred officials of the court, as if they had been amnestied, hurriedly turned around and walked outside the hall.

Zheng Zhi stood still, with a cold smile on his face, watching everyone rush out of the hall like soldiers rushing into battle.

The seed master walked to Zheng Zhi's side at this time and asked: "Lord Wang, although this Tokyo treasury is empty, these people's homes are full of gold and silver, and now is the time to use money, as a plan." ”

When the seed master heard Zheng Zhi's words in front of his head, he was also worried, afraid that Zheng Zhi would really treat people leniently.

Zheng Zhi smiled and said: "Copy a few first, and then copy a few more when you are short of money in a few days, just copy it slowly like this, and copy it if you are short of money." It doesn't hurt that the official family wants to be a good person and win people's hearts. These people regard the official family as a dependent, and the official family is willing to be their talisman. In this way, they will be loyal to this official and speak for this official. I also want this official to win some hearts, so that I can borrow his name. The official family is a good person, and we are evil. Wouldn't it work together seamlessly? If the Zhao official family also became a wicked person and separated from these scholars, then it would be in vain to leave him dead. Not only should the official family be a good person, but also send a good person to the official family to do it. Let him be in the same boat with these scholars, it is best to let him and the scholars and doctors in the world be in the same boat, so that Zhao Huan is nothing. So-and-so is still the rebellious rebellious thief in their mouths, so as long as Zhao Ji is still in control of a certain hand, hum... ”

Listening to Zheng Zhi's words, he heard Zheng Zhi's last sneer, and he was also a little frightened, and he felt that this Yan King was really scary to play with people's hearts.

Zheng Zhi saw that the master was no longer talking, so he said: "Let's go, go to the back to find the official's house, there are still some things to do." ”

The seed master nodded, and followed Zheng Zhi to the palace.

Zhao Ji retreated from the main hall, feeling depressed in his heart. Looking at this deep palace inner garden, there are iron armors everywhere, as if these iron armors are all looking at each other.

Further inside, in the harem, a team of maids were escorted out by ironclad soldiers, and these maids who only allowed Zhao Ji to laugh alone at the beginning were now escorted out by these soldiers.

Zhao Ji stood still, looked back, and there was only one little eunuch behind him, and he only felt sad in his heart. only then did he get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth. What could be more sad than this.

I heard Zhao Ji open his mouth and ask the little eunuch: "Is there still a quiet place in the palace?" I want to be alone for a while. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there are not many military men among Genyue, and it is quite quiet. ”

Zhao Jizhi felt very depressed, and said, "Then go to Genyue, you go and find some wine and food." ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he asked again: "Your Majesty is going to the Qianxiao Tower?" ”

The little eunuch's question was to determine where Zhao Ji went, Gen Yue was not small, if he didn't agree on a place, the little eunuch might not be able to find Zhao Ji with wine and food.

Zhao Ji nodded and walked towards Genyue. The little eunuch rushed to the imperial dining room to find wine and food.

But when Zhao Ji walked to Genyue, he could see from a distance that there were many soldiers coming and going on the towering Qianxiao Tower. Zhao Ji also stopped and shook his head again and again.

After a while, the little eunuch ran over with a food box, and saw that Zhao Ji was at the entrance of Genyue, and hurriedly came to the front and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go into the Xiaoxiao Tower?" ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and didn't answer this question, but said, "How is Mrs. Yingguo lately?" ”

The little eunuch naturally knew that Mrs. Yingguo was a sleeve of the alum tower, but he replied: "Your Majesty, most of the slaves and maids are in the palace, and they don't know much about things outside the palace. However, I haven't heard of anyone embarrassing Mrs. Yingguo, and it's very good to think about her. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Then let's go out of the palace with me, and sit down at Mrs. Yingguo's place, she thinks it will be quiet." ”

The little eunuch naturally couldn't express any opinions, just nodded and followed.

From the harem out of the imperial city, it is also a door, called the Chenhui Gate. Zhao Ji went all the way, and there were still ironclad soldiers everywhere on the roadside, and these soldiers also saluted Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji didn't even raise his head, and walked quickly.

But when he arrived at the palace gate, the palace gate was closed, and there was a team of iron armor at the door.

The military man in front of the head also stepped forward to salute, "The last general Wu Song, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded, motioned for Wu Song to get up, and said, "General Wu, open the palace gate, and I will go out of the palace to breathe." ”

When Wu Song heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, for the sake of His Majesty's safety, it is better for His Majesty not to leave the palace recently." There are many chaotic ministers and thieves outside the palace, and I am afraid that there will be people with ill intentions to do that in case. After His Royal Highness King Yan cleared out those chaotic ministers and thieves in Tokyo, His Majesty could leave the palace. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhi to do such a desperate job, he couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to scold: "Where are so many chaotic ministers and thieves in this world, where are so many ill-intentioned people." Open the door, can't I go out of the palace to relax? ”

Wu Song just bowed and didn't answer, let alone have the slightest intention of opening the palace door.

Zhao Ji was even more furious, and actually walked to the palace gate by himself, and lifted the bolt by himself.

Wu Song and the soldiers on the left and right just watched Zhao Ji's movements.

The palace gate is huge, no different from the city gate, there are five grooves behind the door, from top to bottom, all of them are bolted. The highest point is two or three zhang high, and a staircase is required to place it. It also plays a role in preparing for war, under normal circumstances, these five deadbolts will not be put on all, but today they are all put up.

The door bolt is also huge, that is, a huge long square log, which has about 100 catties, and it is easier for the two to put it together.

At this time, Zhao Ji took the deadbolt by himself, and even the bottom bolt was also embarrassed, and with all his strength, the bolt was still not removed.

Seeing Zhao Ji like this, the little eunuch subconsciously wanted to go forward to help. But he had just taken a step, and suddenly saw Wu Song's fierce eyes, which frightened the little eunuch and hurriedly stopped and lowered his head, not daring to move again.

"Zheng Zhi, where did so many chaotic ministers and thieves come from in this world, where did they come from so many ill-intentioned people. I see that you are the rebel and thief, the one with evil intentions. Zhao Ji was angry and helpless and sad, and finally shouted out such a sentence.

Zhao Ji endured this sentence for a long time in the court hall without saying it, only thinking about taking care of his face sitting on the dragon chair, and also thinking about the opinions of civil and military officials. At this time, in this deep palace, I couldn't help but blurt out anymore, with many emotions.

"How can Your Majesty wronged the good intentions of his ministers like this!" At this time, a word came from behind everyone, and the person who spoke was Zheng Zhi, who followed all the way under the guidance of the soldiers, and there was also a kind of teacher by his side.

Wu Song hurriedly visited with many military men.

Zheng Zhi had already come closer.

Zhao Ji looked back at Zheng Zhi and said sadly: "Zheng Zhi, what do you want?" Is it the world? Is this the country? Or do you deliberately want to humiliate me like this? ”
