When Xu Gao was about to leave, he was blocked at the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know what to do with Weichen?" Xu Gao's voice trembled a little, and he was a little weak-hearted.

Zhao Pu sighed slightly, it is useless to be a scholar, and it is really unqualified to let a scholar be a spy.

"I, can't I ask the Qing family for advice?" Zhao Pu said with a smile.

Xu Gao's heart trembled, His Majesty the Emperor usually supported me for the most, and only called himself me in rare circumstances, and at that time it was often ............ A bad thought flashed, it was not that the matter was exposed, impossible! No way!

"The family is poor and thinks of a good wife, and the country is broken and thinks of a good face!" Zhao Pu said with a smile, "Great Song Dynasty, because of you scholars, loyal to the country, and do not avoid hardships, my Great Song Dynasty can be difficult to maintain, even if the Jin army is under the city, it is still as stable as Mount Tai." And a few years later, it will be the Northern Expedition and destroy the gold in one fell swoop! ”

"Your Majesty........." Xu Gao wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Zhao Pu suddenly shouted: "Some people say that you colluded with the Jin Army? But there is such a thing! ”

A loud shout, like thunder, one moment it was still a gentle drizzle, but the next moment it was a thunderstorm, and suddenly Xu Gao was frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, with tears on his face, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged!" Wechen is wronged! ”

"Wronged, wronged, you're big!" Zhao Da on the side couldn't help but scold: "Since the time of the first emperor, you have colluded with the Jin army and accepted bribes from the Jin army many times. In the second year of Xuanhe, he had two East Pearls and 15 ginseng branches under his command; In the third year of Yonghe, he received 100 pieces of silk from the Jin Army and 100 taels of gold............"

In short, a sect, a yard, are all told. Extremely detailed.

Every time he finished speaking, the fear in Xu Gao's heart increased a little, and finally he couldn't help crying: "Your Majesty, these are all house slaves, and they accept bribes from their courtiers behind their backs, and Weichen has accepted them for others!" “

Doctor Shi is a noble person, where he can be insulted by Brother Kong Fang, and there can be insulted by copper smell. In short, Xu Gao never accepted these money and the like, and many times it was often received by domestic slaves. And he just looked at the ledger, which was one of the reasons for his exculpation. At a critical moment, the golden cicada can be used to get out of its shell.

"Your Majesty, the minister has suffered for the house slave, and you must be considerate of the minister. Wechen did not collude with the Jin people. There is no rebellion, there is no trapping Your Majesty......" at this time. Xu Gao kept explaining. kept justifying, crying bitterly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Zhao Pu looked at it indifferently and gradually smiled, he had been struggling with a problem.

How to deal with the traitors, how to deal with those ministers who colluded with the Jin army.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Song and Jin. The Song army was defeated one after another, and successive defeats made some ministers lose confidence in the Great Song Dynasty, and they felt that the Great Song Dynasty was finished. It won't last long, and the persistence at this time is more like a dying struggle. Because of the lack of confidence, there was a tide of surrenders, and the generals were like clouds, and the ministers abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

In short, this is a second minister, or many people are ready to be a second minister.

There are many, many such people, and in the common saying of later generations, they are traitors and traitors. It's just that although he despises their character, Zhao Pu can't be killed with a stick. Only the disintegration of divisions, the crackdown on die-hard loyalists, the co-optation of the center, the reward of the left, in short, the diversity of policies. Only by pulling more and making fewer enemies, and isolating the Jin army step by step, can we finally achieve victory.

For example, Zhang Bangchang established a pseudo-Chu, but actively surrendered to sincerity, such a second minister, Zhao Pu will not reward him, will not reuse him, will not kill him, will only worship him like a mud bodhisattva.

For example, a three-surnamed slave like Pharmacist Li, Zhao Pu resolutely refuses to flow, and it is best to cut it with a knife.

For example, people like Xu Gao are best forced to resist gold. Didn't he want to be a minister, so I cut off his way to being a minister, and I could only be a loyal minister. People like Xu Gao are of little use, but if they are killed, the impact is too bad, so it is best to beat them and then put them away.

The Great Song Dynasty did not kill the scholars, even if it was a huge corruption, it was exile at most. Killing Wenchen for this reason will lead to a counterattack from Wenchen. It's not a good reason, but it's a good excuse to open the gap. Sometimes, you don't need a reason to kill someone, and you don't need a reason to hurt someone, because he is the emperor.

"Then you are innocent!" Zhao Pu said with a smile.

"Wechen is naturally not guilty, the guilty is the minister's house slave, and the guilty is that the wechen is not strict in discipline and has caused trouble!" Xu Gao retreated everything cleanly, "In my dynasty, the king and the scholar rule the world together, Your Majesty can't use this as an excuse to kill Weichen." Your Majesty, you can't! ”

Zhao Pu smiled, his voice a little cold. It seems that he is still too merciful, prestige, prestige! Killing people is certainly old-fashioned, but it is also the most practical.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier!

Why did the new emperor like to purge the auxiliary ministers left by the old emperor one by one when he ascended the throne, either by slashing and killing, demoting, or exile. It's not that they don't have talent, but because they like to rely on the old and sell the old, thinking that the earth can't function without them.

Only by cleaning up the old ministers one by one can we establish prestige!

And at this point, Zhao Pu did a very bad job.

When Zhao Pu was the emperor, the situation was very unstable, so he used all the old ministers, even if some courtiers were half-hearted, and some courtiers were extremely wasteful, for the sake of stability, they were temporarily appointed. This is certainly good for stability, but it is also not good for Liwei. At least he, the emperor, is more than close, but not majestic enough.

"Do you think I can't kill you!" Zhao Pu sneered.

"Your Majesty's sins, not the minister's fault!" Xu Gao still quibbled.

"Dangchang!" Zhao Pu pulled out his sword, and the sword suddenly rested on Xu Gao's neck, and asked, "You said that if I scratched, will your head fall off?" ”

Feeling the cool air on his neck, Xu Gao was terrified, this emperor would really kill people.

At this time, Xu Gao thought that the emperor had only been on the throne for only a year, but he had been on the battlefield many times, defeated the Jin army many times, and won many victories, and the Jin army that died in his hands had already tens of thousands. And this time, he relied on two thousand guards and the students of the Martial Arts Academy to block the attack of thousands of gold troops alive.

"Your Majesty......"

At this time, Zhao Pucai withdrew his sword and said coldly: "If you say that you are guilty, you are guilty, and if you are not guilty, you are guilty; Say you're not guilty, you're not guilty, and you're not guilty! I don't have evidence of your collusion with the Jin Army; But your ass is not clean, and it is not wrong to kill you. Don't push two, five, six, nothing has anything to do with you, the fault of the house slave is your place; The sin of a domestic slave is your sin. If you abandon darkness and turn to light, everything is easy to say; Lao Tzu is too lazy to cut you, he will only demote you and leave, rolling away; But if you don't know how to lift, Lao Tzu doesn't mind, kill you! If you die, you are not a martyr, but a stench for 10,000 years! Zhao Da read it to me! ”

Zhao Da opened a belief and said: "Weichen Xu Gao, respect the second prince, now the Song Dynasty is tired of state affairs and weak national strength, just like a giant tree is big, but it is empty inside." As long as the elite soldiers go south and step on the Yellow River, they can easily smash Bianliang, break the city and ask for land, gold and silver goods, beautiful utensils, and collect ............ at will."

Xu Gao listened, his hands trembled suddenly, and there was only one thought in his heart: it was so shameless that he actually forged a letter.

The literati were the most timid, because they were timid, and they were extremely cautious in their work, and they hardly showed a flaw. Xu Gao and Jin Jun had a lot of bad behaviors, and in the letters exchanged, most of the letters that Jin Jun gave him were read on the spot and burned on the spot, leaving no trace of handle at all; And most of his letters to Jin Jun were under the pseudonym "Gao Xu", and he never used his real name, in order to prevent it from being captured by Song agents.

His prudence ensured safety, and no one fell into the hands of others. It's just that if the emperor wants to kill, why do you need to make a handle, and if you don't have a handle, you can create a handle......

Zhao Pudao: "Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance, you admit it!" ”

At this moment, I have to recruit. Recruited, possibly a dignified death; If you don't move, you will die for 10,000 years.

"Wechen pleads guilty!" At this time, Xu Gao no longer resisted, but said everything about his dealings with Jin Jun without reservation, and told Jia Bao's plan this time.

Zhao Pu nodded, looked at Zhao Da on the side, and was very satisfied.

"Now I'm giving you a chance to make meritorious atonements!" Zhao Pudao told a plan to trap Jin Jun. (To be continued......)
