readx;
Luoyang, Anle!
Who else will there be besides the master Shao Yong in the comfort nest by the Tianjin Bridge?
Lin Zhao was very surprised, why Shao Yong would send a letter to himself, and he still wanted to doze off, so he sent a pillow and predicted the time of rain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
How does Shao Yong know what he's thinking? He is not a roundworm in his stomach, and he has no connection with him, could it be that he really has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet?
Lin Zhao will be skeptical, this kind of magical character definitely has some doorways, and it is not strange that there are unexpected things, but after all, it is still too shocking.
As for the answer given by Shao Yong, it was exactly what was needed at the moment, and Lin Zhao believed it.
Compared with a few experienced people observing the weather, it is really better to believe in Shao Yong's calculations! The time of the rain is very important to him, otherwise the effect on Zheng Xia's side will be greatly reduced, and the things that have been painstakingly invested for a long time will fall short.
"Move after two days, up to ten days!" Lin Zhao thought about it, and on the basis of Master Shao Yong, there was a grace period of two days.
"Yes!"
"And!" Lin Zhao hesitated: "Send someone to Luoyang and keep an eye on Shao Yong!" ”
"Yes!"
Shao Yong's move is really too mysterious, although it is a good intention, but in the end, the stakes are very high, and Lin Zhao is somewhat uneasy. Before you can't go to verify it in person, you can only be on guard!
While Lin Zhao was waiting to see a good show, more attention was put on accompanying his wife, the time had entered May, and the day of Chai Minyan and Zhe Wenxin's birth was very close.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the third day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Xining, the court meeting was held as usual.
In recent days, the content has been disaster relief, and various disasters and measures have been reported, and then arrangements have been made for various ministries and prefectures and counties to implement them. At the same time, the impeachment of Wang Anshi is still commonplace, but Zhao Ji has been stretching out, but he just doesn't spit out. Hundreds of officials are helpless!
But just when the court meeting was about to end, Cao Jian, the guard on duty in front of the palace, reported: "Your Majesty, there is Zheng Xia, the supervisor of the door, please see you at the gate of the palace." Say there's something big going on! ”
Installing a supervisor?
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, this is an official who is not in the stream at all. Zhao Ji had no impression at all, and said suspiciously: What is he doing when he comes to ask for a meeting? Can there be a big fart?
Wang Anshi was also confused, Zheng Xia was demoted, it was Wang Yan who operated it, and as for where he was finally demoted, Wang Anshi only knew at this moment.
Zheng Xia asks to see the emperor, what will happen? Not sure why. Wang Xianggong's eyelids began to beat constantly, and a strong uneasiness appeared in his heart.
"Did he say anything?" Zhao Ji asked in a deep voice, he didn't want to make a fuss, but he had to ask.
"Zheng Xia has something to present to Your Majesty! Said that His Majesty would definitely see him after reading it! "Cao Jian was conscientious. conveyed Zheng Xia's request very comprehensively.
"What?"
Cao Jian handed it over with both hands, it was a pair of scrolls!
Zhao Ji said casually: "Open!" ”
But when the picture scroll was all unfolded, Zhao Ji regretted it and was shocked at the same time! Not only him, but the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty saw the scroll. They were all shocked.
For a while, there was silence in the Daqing Palace, and the needles could be heard!
The Great Song Dynasty monarch stared at the painting directly, unable to say a word, but there were turbulent waves in his heart!
Zheng Xia painted a picture of the starvation of the homeless. The homeless people on the picture scroll live in hardship, with yellow faces and thin muscles, no clothes, and even more starvation and displacement!
Zhao Ji looked at this picture, his heart trembled violently, although he wanted to maintain the majesty and composure of being an emperor, but his body couldn't help but tremble a little! This is the scene of today's folk, is this the Great Song Dynasty? He didn't want to believe it, but another instinct told him that maybe it was true!
The hundred officials were even more shocked, and after a moment of silence, they suddenly theorized again, and the court was like an explosion!
Zhao Ji has no intention and no power to control hundreds of officials, and an indisputable implementation is in front of him, that is, Zheng Xia must be summoned!
Soon, Cao Jian led Zheng Xia to the palace.
"Zheng Xia, what are you doing with such an inauspicious picture?" Immediately, an official jumped out and questioned.
Zheng Xia walked to the front, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, although this picture is unlucky, it is a true portrayal of the life of ordinary people!" ”
"What?" Zhao Ji's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, with a little shock on his face.
"Your Majesty, since Wang Anshi's reform, the common people have been living in poverty, and now they are experiencing drought, which is such a situation of displacement and starvation." Zheng Xia kowtowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Wang Anshi for changing the law and misleading the country, and the heavens were angry and resentful, so that the people were not happy, please ask Your Majesty to remove him from office and punish him!" ”
Here it is, the real purpose is here!
Zhao Xuan, Wang Anshi and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all understood that this was Zheng Xia's real purpose. Hundreds of officials also have impeachment on weekdays, but where can they compare to Zheng Xia's power?
How intuitive is a picture of the starvation of the homeless, and how great is the visual impact? Zhao Ji was really shaken this time, and it was unprecedentedly violently shaken.
This is an unprecedented opportunity, the old party officials took advantage of the situation and immediately echoed it, and suddenly the court once again set off a wave of impeachment of Wang Anshi, which was more fierce than any time before!
Wang Anshi stood in front of the civil official sequence, he was still silent, but he was shocked in his heart. Zheng Xia's picture really surprised him, was that really the case? Or is this guy going to take revenge and deliberately wronging people like this? Or is it true? Wang Anshi wanted to defend something, but he didn't have a chance to speak, and he didn't know what to say.
Standing like this, although he was calm, there was a raging wave beside him. At this moment, Wang Anshi is like a small boat in the storm, whether he will be silent immediately depends on the decision of the emperor on the throne.
Zhao Ji is the emperor, the Supreme of All Saints! But at this moment, he was sitting on the dragon chair, but he had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Whether it was the "Picture of the Hunger of the Displaced People" or the hundreds of officials kneeling on the ground, there was a strong pressure that made him almost breathless!
He knew that he couldn't hide today, and he had to give a decision, a decision about Wang Anshi. But is it going to be forced to say yes? Zhao Ji really didn't want to be coerced, he wanted to preserve the last vestige of authority as the emperor!
Hesitate, or procrastinate!
didn't want to, Zheng Xia immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister will impeach Wang Anshi with death." If His Majesty deposes Wang Anshi, there will be rain from heaven within ten days. If it doesn't rain within the time limit, the minister is guilty of bullying the king, please behead the minister outside the Xuande Gate! ”
Vicious!
Zheng Xia has made the biggest bet, risking death to impeach! The bet is on whether it will rain within ten days, this is the rhythm of fighting for your own life and pulling Wang Anshi off the horse!
Most of the people present knew Zheng Xia's identity, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Wang Anshi was really a failure! The student who taught him personally is now dealing with him like this, and when he reaches this point, what else is there to say?
Wang Anshi looked at Zheng Xia who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was also shocked. He did not hate Zheng Xia for being ungrateful, but was horrified by his performance. Is it okay to die in this way for the sake of revenge? Or am I so wrong? Wang Xianggong looked at Zheng Xia looking back, his cold and smug eyes, and his heart was mixed!
Then, his eyes fell on Emperor Zhao Ji again, and he obeyed the arrangement of fate!
