"This is the fault of the minister, and it is difficult for the minister to atone for his sins!" In the face of Wang Hao's revenge, Lotte hurriedly went out to ask Zhao Ji for his guilt.

However, Huizong Zhao Ji waved his hand: "This matter is not to blame Le Qing, Le Qing is also for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty, the remnants of Lingxia have not been eliminated, and the imperial court will divide troops to encircle and suppress it, which will inevitably consume national strength!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Hearing this, Lotte immediately thanked him.

What is Grace? This is the Holy Grace! The officials couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, and they could even feel that Lotte's position in Zhao Jixin's heart was not only not inferior to Wang Huang by half a point, but Lotte's performance was too low-key.

Zhao Ji took the initiative to excuse Lotte, which was unthinkable by Wang Hao, and immediately made Wang Hao feel a little jealous of Lotte, and then wanted to say something, immediately stopped talking, and after a little thought, he said: "Your Majesty, Liangshanluo giant thief Song Jiang and others gathered to make trouble, but at best, it was only three or two thousand people, it was really not a climate, and only the joint efforts of Zhuzhou and County to encircle and suppress this bandit can be destroyed." ”

"What Wang Qing said is very true, my Great Song Dynasty has a forbidden army of millions, and it is easy to destroy Xia, what a thief is!" Zhao Ji nodded, and then ordered: "The edict ordered Zeng Xiaoyun, the governor of Shezhou, to lead the army to conquer Liangshan and rob Song Jiang!" ”

Wang Hao spoke like this, his heart naturally played his own idea, Lotte would use soldiers, if Lotte was asked to lead the troops to conquer Song Jiang, the success of the conquest would only make Lotte more prosperous, and Wang Hao naturally would not want to see Lotte sit big.

……

The Great Inner Palace is forbidden inside the Left Chengtian Gate.

Looking at the visiting Lotte, King Yun Zhao Kaikou smiled a little: "Le Qing has only come to see this king once when he returns to Biandu, but how can he be idle today?" ”

The Imperial City Division is in charge of the palace ban, Zhou Lu Su Guard, and spying on intelligence, so the headquarters is naturally located in the Great Inner Zuo Chengtian Gate, although Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, has opened the outer court of the palace, but he still promotes the Imperial City Division, although most of the things of the Imperial City Division have been done by Xu Jiang and the king, but Zhao Kai is still stationed in the Great Inner Palace from time to time.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties appointed those who promoted the imperial city division as harem eunuchs, only Huizong opened a special case to promote the imperial city division with the prince, and Zhao Kai was still appointed by Huizong Zhao Ji to be in charge of the imperial city division after opening the mansion as an adult, which means more profound, and even the government and the opposition think that King Yun replaces the prince, it is only a matter of time. Today, the king of the early dynasty is the grandson of Zhao Chenlongjue, and you can see a spot of Zhao Kai.

Yunwang Zhao Kai's voice was teasing, but it fell on Lotte's ears, no matter how he listened to it, he was a little blamed.

Lotte replied unhurriedly: "The minister's previous position was not in the stream, this year since the northwest returned to the court, bathing in the grace of heaven was given the title of marquis, so the minister must always pay attention to restraining his words and deeds, the prince of this dynasty is not allowed to make friends with the courtiers, and the minister has to restrain self-discipline, so as not to cause the crime of collusion with the minister!" ”

Although Zhao Kai was not very satisfied with Lotte's answer, he continued to tone and smiled: "How can I come to see this king today, and I am still in the inner house, almost in front of everyone, isn't it suspicious?" ”

Lotte Zhengse replied: "The minister entered the Kaifeng Mansion yesterday, and it was difficult to solve a case, so I came to ask His Highness to lead the minister to see Your Majesty!" ”

Listening to Lotte's report, Zhao Kaixin was surprised: "This Wang Su asked Qing to judge the case like a god, like the reincarnation of Bao Zheng in the former dynasty, what case can make Qing embarrassed?" ”

Lotte replied: "There is nothing difficult about this case, but this case involves the majesty of the royal family, and it cannot be known to outsiders. ”

"Present it to the king!" Hearing Lotte say this, Zhao Kaixin was not only surprised but also better, and then his eyes swept left and right and ordered: "You guys go out!" ”

After the eunuchs retreated, Lotte took out yesterday's case file and confession.

"Bastard ......" When he saw half of it, Zhao Kai's face had turned iron-blue, and he scolded regardless of the royal prestige.

"Your Highness is angry!" Lotte was busy talking on the side.

The remaining anger did not subside, and Zhao Kai continued to ask with full of indignation: "This king asks you, how many people are in Biandu who know about this case?" ”

Lotte replied: "In addition to the ministers, it is the official and the manager of Kaifeng Mansion who joined the army, and there are three long-term followers of the old official and the minister, and the other are the people involved in the case, as for the others, they have been dispersed and isolated by the ministers." ”

"You're doing a good job!" Zhao Kai nodded and put away the case file, and then said: "This matter cannot be delayed, Le Qing will quickly follow this king to see my father!" ”

……

The royal road leading to Yanfu Palace, Lotte followed the King of Yun Zhao Kai and walked very ostentatious, even those eunuchs who followed the court could not be amazed in their hearts, no wonder this Lord Le dared to reject Prime Minister Wang's invitation in person, and look at the friendship with King Yun to know how much confidence he has.

Liang Shicheng has been waiting by Zhao Ji's side, and after the early dynasty, Wang Huang also followed him to the Yanfu Palace behind, and was playing with Zhao Ji at the moment, only to see a little eunuch come in and report: "Official, His Royal Highness King Yun brought the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and Yin Letian of Kaifeng Mansion to ask to see the official!" ”

"Biography!" Zhao Ji was playing with calligraphy and painting, and just nodded after hearing the report.

Liang Shicheng and Lotte have a good relationship, but Wang Huang's heart is like a heavy blow, although his face has not changed in any way, the look in his eyes is becoming more and more unhappy.

……

"Erchen has seen his father!"

"Chen Lotian knocks to see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kai and Lotte entered the back palace one after another, and said goodbye one after another.

"Excuse me!" Zhao Ji signaled, and then beckoned: "The third brother and Le Qing came just in time, come and see this picture of red and white goose made by me yesterday!" ”

Zhao Kai and Lotte walked over and praised together.

The way of being an official is not only for power, emotional intelligence is also very important in the way of officials, there are countless examples throughout the ages to prove that a person who only has talent and no emotional intelligence is destined to not go far in the official career.

After a moment of greetings, Zhao Kaiyan said: "Father, the son has something to play!" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ji commanded.

Glancing at the eunuchs waiting around him, and Wang Hao and a few other favored ministers, Zhao Kai hesitated for a moment and then said: "This matter is related to royal prestige, and I also ask my father to invite the palace and others out, and the sons and sons and Lotte will report to Your Majesty!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ji's tone rose, and his eyes were full of surprise.

And Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others were not as surprised as they were surprised, surprised by what Zhao Kai wanted to say, and also surprised by Zhao Kai's attitude at the moment, the two of them can be said to be Zhao Kai's allies, and even the two of them have to avoid it, in addition to the fact that the matter is not small, it can be seen that the relationship between Lotte and Zhao Kai seems to be closer to the two of them.

Zhao Ji was also surprised by Zhao Kai's words, and said: "What can't you say to your face?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ji say this, Zhao Kai couldn't argue strongly, so he had to present the case file presented by Lotte to Zhao Ji: "Father, look at this case!" ”

With only one glance at the case file, Zhao Ji's face immediately became gloomy, and he waved his robe sleeves and said to Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and others: "You people go down, the third brother and Le Qing stay!" ”

"Slaves and maids retire ......"

Hearing Zhao Ji say this, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and others bowed together.

When Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and others were about to retreat, they only heard Zhao Ji point to a few palace maids and Xiao Huangmen who were waiting for him and said, "You people also retreat!" ”

What happened?

Not only Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao, but also the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side were also surprised, no matter how big something happened in the past, the officials would not dismiss these people around them, and today they can dismiss their own people, which shows that what happened is indeed extraordinary.

Soon everyone in the hall retreated, leaving only Lotte, Zhao Ji, and Zhao Kai, and the retreating eunuch closed the door tightly, and everyone was cleared into the distance.

picked up the case file and looked at it from front to back, Zhao Ji's face became more and more ugly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "Father is angry, only a few officials in Kaifeng Mansion know about this case!" ”

With a heavy cold snort, Zhao Ji said angrily: "Brother Emperor Zhezong is on the throne, I heard that there are children of the royal family in the market when I was the prince, at that time I thought it was just a rumor that those who were dissatisfied with my Zhao family smeared my royal family, and I didn't want my royal family to really have such a brazen and shameless person, but I really lost the face of my Zhao family's ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Lotte hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter involves the dignity of the royal family, and the minister does not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he has to bother His Majesty!" ”

Looking at Lotte, Zhao Ji asked: "Leqing, you are familiar with criminal law, how should this case be judged according to you?" ”

Lotte Shili replied: "The minister does not dare to say anything, this matter involves the dignity of the royal family, so the minister is just a secret performance, if Your Majesty asks the minister how to decide, the minister thinks that this case is a family matter of the royal family, and it should be handed over to the official and the main division of the sect to deal with this case, the minister is a foreign minister, and it is taboo to interfere in the affairs of the royal family!" ”

"Soshoji Temple? Shoji Dazong? Zhao Ji couldn't help but shake his head, and said helplessly: "Zongzheng Temple and the Great Zongzheng Division have many non-royal people holding official positions, if these two divisions are to supervise, wouldn't it be known to everyone in the world who is full of wind and rain, and lose the face of my Zhao family......"

Zhao Kaiyan said: "Father, this case can be interrogated by a respected clan!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and said: "It seems that in the future, it is necessary to replace the foreign minister with the royal heir to take over the position of the main secretary of the Great Sect, so that it can manage the affairs of the royal family!" ”

"It's that these people with royal surnames have nothing to do all day long, eating the food of the imperial court and throwing away the people of my Zhao family, it's really hateful, and it's not an exaggeration to expel them from the family except for the family tree!" After all, he is young, and Zhao Kai still has fire in his heart.

Zhao Ji said: "Since the Renzong Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty has accumulated more and more evils, the three redundant phases have become more and more serious, and the income of the dynasty is often not enough to spend, in order to compress the imperial court, it is natural to cut some of the royal heirs' worship branches, these imperial branches can not get enough money and food, and naturally there are shameless clansmen to disgust us!" ”

Hearing his father speak like this, Zhao Kaixin was even more annoyed.

At this time, Lotte said: "The minister thought that this kind of incident would happen, because my dynasty had not been beheaded by Shi V like the previous dynasty, so the more the royal heirs multiplied, and the financial pressure caused to my Great Song Dynasty became heavier and heavier!" ”
