Chapter Twenty-Six: Keeping Your Duty, Pretending to Be Sick and Resisting the Holy Decree
After dinner, Su Xun found a reason to call Zhao Lei to an uninhabited room, looked at Zhao Lei with a solemn face but kept silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½\ćqb5.c0m\
"For what I asked Pang Song to do?" Looking at Su Xun's face, Zhao Lei immediately guessed his thoughts and said indifferently.
"Not bad! Adults know that this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed, although they are just some family members of the convicts who have been assassinated in Luzon, but this kind of thing is very easy to be true, and if others know, the consequences will be very serious! Su Xun said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.
"No one will know, Brother Ming Yun, do you know how many assassinated prisoners die on the road in the Great Song Dynasty every year? No one has ever stood up for those stabbed prisoners, and besides, the sea is already stormy, and countless sailors die in storms every year, but some criminals, even if they are investigated, what crime can they hold me accountable! Say I killed traitorous criminals? Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun and replied indifferently, without putting those lives in his eyes at all.
"It's not a matter of crime, but a political attitude, adults can know that Lu Yijian and Ding Wei were both important ministers of the imperial court back then, and they were also scheming, why Ding Wei was assigned to Lingnan, and there will never be a day, and Lu Yijian can rise and fall three times, and he is still at ease until now!" Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and asked in a deep voice.
Lu Yijian and Ding Wei! These two people are very different, two people who joined the company in the same year, are also deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager Liu, have the same clever means, and are scheming, why are the endings so different! Zhao Lei is also wondering about Su Xundi.
"Why?" Zhao Lei pondered for a while. Puzzled, asked.
"Because of their different political attitudes, although Lu Yijian has many enemies, he adheres to the principle of officialdom, he can force people to death, but he never orders killing, every life is a noose hanging over his head, and if you pay attention to it, you can trap people in it! Although Ding Wei is also shrewd, his methods are too vicious and repeatedly break the rules of officialdom, so when Empress Dowager Liu falls, Ding Wei immediately disappears in Bianjing, this is the difference between them! I'm not worried that the adults will kill a few assassinated prisoners, but that the adults will not be able to control their emotions and kill the most important people once they have the opportunity to kill. It won't be as simple as this time. Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and said bitterly.
Zhao Lei finally understood, it turned out that Su Xun was worried that he was suffering from habitual criminal psychology, to put it simply, just like a thief after stealing something for the first time, there was nothing wrong. At the same time, he was lucky to steal things and the money came quickly, so he slowly became a habitual thief, and finally he was caught and imprisoned when the gutter capsized.
Therefore, after Su Xun saw that Zhao Lei gave the order to kill people ruthlessly, he was afraid that Zhao Lei would use murder to solve the problem from now on, so he tried hard to advise.
"Brother Mingyun! If I hadn't asked Pang Song to figure out a way on the sea route at that time. Instead, if you go out of Bianjing, you will directly solve those people, what will Brother Ming Yun and Mr. Ou and Pang Song do to the three of you? Zhao Lei didn't think that he would like to use violence to solve problems after killing someone once, so he pondered for a while. He asked Su Xun meaningfully.
Zhao Lei's words made Su Xun slightly stunned, groaned, and said cautiously and carefully: "Duty!" ā
"Duty! I ordered, once there is something that you can't take into account, you have to advise, such as Brother Mingyun's advice this time, this is my duty, with you by my side to advise from time to time, I have the opportunity to make mistakes! Kill the stabbing prisoners. It is to avenge the resentful death of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, even if someone knows that I have done something wrong, even if there is evidence, they have no reason to use this excuse to deal with me, I can still distinguish between right and wrong, but this time Huang De and they have gone too far, if I don't have this bad breath, how can I explain to the dead New Army soldiers below! Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun and said coldly.
"My subordinates understood." Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei with an angry face, and said in a deep voice with a slight startle.
ā¦ā¦
At the end of March of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, after the envoys of the Liao State handed in the letters of the ten counties in Guannan in Bianjing, several fast horses rushed into the city of Hangzhou.
"The two Zhejiang transfer made Zhao Lei take the order!" Among the transfer envoys in the yamen, dressed in official robes, the attendants who came from Bianjing held the holy decree and said loudly in the front hall of the yamen.
"Your Excellency! Unfortunately, Lord Zhao just got a cold and was resting in the inner room, so I'm afraid there is no way to come to receive the order. Pang Bai said with a bitter old face, looking helplessly at the dusty waiter.
"I've got a wind chill!" The chamberlain who held the holy decree looked at Pang Bai suspiciously and said, he didn't expect it to be so coincidental, but Zhao Lei came to Hangzhou but got a cold, and couldn't help but think of the means used by many courtiers in the Great Song Dynasty to resist the decree, that is, to pretend to be sick, will Zhao Lei be like this!
"My lord! A few days ago, Lord Zhao and several ladies were playing on the West Lake, and they swam in the water while being happy, and after coming back, they got a wind chill, and now they can't get out of bed. Pomber continued to say to the chamberlain with a bitter face.
"In that case! That's it! After the puzzled chamberlain finished speaking, he followed Pombo towards the backyard of the yamen.
ā¦ā¦
"Is this the right thing to do? The crime of pretending to be sick and resisting the decree is not small! In Zhao Lei's bedroom in the backyard of the transfer envoy's yamen, Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, dry purple lips, and cold sweat.
"What's wrong with it, isn't Lu Jing just refusing the imperial court's holy decree to let him go out again, there are more people in the Great Song Dynasty who resist the decree, and the imperial court has never been punished for this, Bao Zheng was filial piety to his father, and the imperial court repeatedly ordered him to return to Beijing, didn't he resist the decree! It doesn't matter, the people of the court know very well what I mean, as long as my requirements are met, I will go north, if not, then continue to be sick! Zhao Lei sneered and looked at Su Xun and said angrily, without the slightest hint of illness in his voice.
In the bedroom, Zhao Lei's wife Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan, Xiao Ruoruo, Sophia and other women were all pretending to be sad and concerned at Zhao Lei's bedside, and when they heard Zhao Lei's words, Bai Xinlan immediately asked curiously: "Official!" Didn't you say that you would go north right away! Why do you suddenly change your mind now and negotiate terms with the imperial court. This is obviously a threat! The official family has just been coerced by the Western Xia and the Liao State, and now the officials come forward to threaten again, will it cause the displeasure of the official family! ā
"The official family is not happy! I'm afraid that the official family is very happy that I did this, although it will take some time to travel from Hangzhou to Bianjing, but take this opportunity to teach Chen Yaozuo and those people a lesson, the official family will definitely like to see this kind of result. After all, the Liao State is still waiting for the reply of the imperial court, just drag them, and the war situation in the north is stalemate, now we are not short of time, it is so easy to kick me out of Bianjing, if something happens, you want me to go to the north, there is such an easy thing there, Ye Qingchen, Chen Yaozuo, Chen Xiliang, these guys who are dealing with me behind my back, I will not let any of them go! Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Not bad! This is the best chance to deal with those people. Originally, I didn't expect the Liao Kingdom to suddenly come out and take advantage of the fire to rob, but now the situation is very critical, and the Great Song Dynasty has the ability and confidence to repel the people of the Western Xia army, except for the adults who don't think about it, they don't mention the conditions at this time. I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity in the future. Su Xun also nodded in agreement with Zhao Lei's opinion and said.
"How are the officials going to take this opportunity to deal with those people?" Tian Lan looked at Zhao Lei curiously and asked.
"It's easy! I have a letter here, which is to impeach Chen Yaozuo, Chen Xiliang and others for treason and sell new weapons to the Great Song Dynasty of the Western Xia, doesn't it mean that someone has traces of rocket cars and grenades in the Western Xia army! This is not very good evidence, if Chen Yaozuo and Chen Xiliang are not treasonous, why did they propose to divide the new weapons of the new army. As for the new weapons, the Western Xia had these weapons, although there were only a few. But after all, I have it, and this letter will be sent to Bianjing along with the news that I am seriously ill, and those important ministers in the imperial court will naturally understand what I mean, and they will choose to degrade Chen Yaozuo and Chen Xiliang and others and replace me in the north! Zhao Lei carefully told Tian Lan and the others about his plan.
"Lord Zhao is in the bedroom, please come in, be careful of the threshold, high!" As soon as Zhao Lei's words were finished, he heard the exaggerated words of Pang Bai's kid, and several people in the bedroom who were chatting began to correct their positions. With the acting skills that can impact the Oscars, he looked sadly at the hospital bed and Zhao Lei, who began to be drowsy.
Chirping! The bedroom door was pushed open, and the waiter in a red official robe walked into the bedroom, and at this time, Tian Lan, Su Xun and others had already gotten up to greet the waiter.
"Mrs. Zhao! What happened to Lord Zhao at this time? The waiter looked at Zhao Lei with a miserable appearance, without the slightest doubt that he had typhoid fever, and asked in a low voice to Tian Lan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Wind chill! The concubine herself knows how to heal, and she has also helped the officials prescribe medicine, but the wind and cold enter the body, and it will not be better for a while. Tian Lan's eyes were slightly red and he replied in a low voice to the inquiring attendant.
"Why is Lord Zhao sick at this time! This official still has the will of the court in his hands! Who's going to do it now! The waiter looked at Zhao Lei, who was sleeping on the hospital bed, and said loudly excitedly.
"Who's coming?" Hearing the loud voice of the waiter, Zhao Lei naturally woke up, pretended to be seriously ill, looked at the waiter in a drowsy manner and asked.
"The Yellow Gate official of the Inner Servant Province has seen Lord Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Lei wake up, the waiter said after respectfully saluting Zhao Lei.
"Your Excellency was sent by the Imperial Court to announce the decree! It's hard work, but the official's current body, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the holy decree. Zhao Lei said to the waiter with weakness and illness.
"Xia Guan also saw it, but this holy decree is very important, Lord Zhao must give Xia Guan an explanation!" Knowing that Zhao Lei could not leave for the north now, he looked at the holy decree in his hand and asked Zhao Lei eagerly.
"The official can't take the holy decree, but the official already has a copy to play, and after falling ill, he can't hand over the book to the official's family, so the lord will bring the book back to Bianjing for the official! After the official family sees it, they will definitely not blame you! Zhao Lei was sick, and took out a fold from his side and handed it to the waiter.
Zhao Lei's illness is really problematic! Who would keep a notebook with them when they are seriously ill! But no matter what problem he has, as long as he can bring it back to the business, the intrigue in the court will still be solved by themselves, and the poor people in our inner servant province will not follow in the fun, and the inner servant will think of it when he sees Zhao Lei's actions.
"Then the lower official will bring Lord Zhao's recital back to Bianjing, Lord Zhao will recuperate well, and the lower official will leave." The waiter who knew that things were greasy was not ambiguous, and took the notebook in Zhao Lei's hand and immediately said goodbye and left, preparing to return to Bianjing.
How will the imperial court react! Degrade the second Chen of the Privy Council or directly resign me! Zhao Lei looked at the back of the waiter leaving, and thought to himself.
