Chapter 222: Participation

Zhao Tingzhi's face flashed with an indescribable red light, and suddenly, he stuffed the two pieces of paper in his hand into his mouth, and swallowed it alive in Mu Yun's stunned gaze! Looking at the smug look on Zhao Tingzhi's old face, Mu Yun said very innocently: Are Zhao Sheren so hungry? He even has to swallow paper? It's a pity that Xia Guan didn't bring more today, so he was wronged that he could only eat two. Alas, in fact, I knew that the lower officials would not have to copy so hard.

When Zhao Tingyi heard this, one stood unsteadily and fell to the ground!

After a while, he came back to his senses and said softly, "What do you want?"

Mu Yun smiled faintly and said: Zhao Sheren don't need to be frightened, Xia Guan just wants to cooperate with you!

Cooperate?

Mu Yun nodded and said, "Yes, it's cooperation." In order to show sincerity, the lower official can reveal a little more things to the husband and father-in-law. That is, the last time Luo Youde impeached you, it was actually instigated by the lower officials, and the lower officials originally wanted to get you down, so as to make a place for the lower officials and me. However, since the last time Luo Youde failed to impeach him, Xia Guan has changed his mind, if a talent like Zhao Sheren is removed, won't the dynasty lose an optimus pillar?

Zhao Tingzhi was surprised and said: You mean

Continue to be your good official, oh no, it should be to strive for another promotion, it's a pity that people like your husband don't get into the slaughter!

Zhao Tingzhi also gradually heard that this Mu Yun was by no means an ordinary identity at this time, but now that he had such a handle in his hands, even if it was a big volcano, the other party asked him to jump, and he didn't dare not jump down. Therefore, he could only acquiesce to Mu Yun's words. He just said with a little doubt: It's just that Xiaguan is now in this big case, I'm afraid even if he wants to contribute to the promotion of the prime minister, he can't get it.

His words are already nakedly loyal, and he is respected by the official, and he even calls the other party the prime minister.

Mu Yun smiled and said: Zhao Sheren rest assured, your grievances will be cleared up within a few days. Speaking of which, you are also lucky, originally we planned to support Cai Shangshu next door to you and suppress you. It's a pity that he is too cunning as an official, and apart from embezzlement and bribery, we can't even find out what fatal tricks he has! Since he is a pawn that we cannot master, we have no choice but to completely erase it!

When Zhao Tingzhi heard this, his heart was cold, and he finally knelt down! Zhang Dian hurriedly came out and said: Your Majesty, this Mingjiao has always been in the name of preaching, and its behavior is not evil. The imperial court has always been very tolerant of them, but not only are they not grateful, but they are even more unscrupulous, and they have long been notorious in the local area. Now, they have intensified their efforts and committed such a great rebellion, and I ask that Mingjiao be designated as a cult and severely cracked down on throughout the country to punish its lawlessness!

As soon as the prime minister said a word, those echoes who were only looking forward to him immediately broke their silence and came out one after another to express their attitudes, impassionedly and fiercely, as if Mingjiao was their great enemy who killed their father and mother.

Looking at such a scene, Zhao Xu suddenly felt bored. In fact, for Zhang Dian himself, he is very trusted, Zhang Dian is not good at managing power, acting upright, speaking crisply, and the means of dealing with the government are also very good, the most important thing is that he and his own political pursuit is the same, both want to restore the reform of Emperor Shenzong, in order to improve the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the imperial court is now too short of a strong talent, and in Zhao Xu's opinion, none of the other people can even catch up with half of Zhang Dan, and they can't use it if they want to reuse it. Therefore, he has always preferred to vacate the position of right minister rather than appoint candidates arbitrarily.

This also led to his more and more trust in Zhangdun and his more and more reuse, and his power naturally rose. Now, Zhang's power has reached the point where one hand can cover the sky.

Although Zhao Xu still believes in Zhang Xuan today, no emperor would like his courtiers to have too much power and threaten his imperial power. He also thought about worshipping the right minister again, but he looked at the entire court and felt that there was really no one who could hinder Zhang Dian after entering the Zhongshu Province. Because of this, the matter was put on hold for the time being.

However, this shelving led to a problem: Zhongshu Province had no owner, and the power of Menxia Province had soared, so that no matter what Zhang Dian said, even if everyone knew that the emperor would not agree, there were always many echo worms jumping out to cheer for him. These echo worms are no longer limited to Menxia Province, and even many people from Zhongshu Province have joined this camp. In Zhao Xu's view, this phenomenon is very dangerous, because it is a harbinger of Xiangquan starting to overstep the imperial power.

At the moment, Zhao Xu unveiled this topic noncommittally: I have already said before, today I will only talk about the leakage of the scientific examination, regardless of anything else. Let's postpone this matter and talk about it later! Dali Temple proposed that since it was Zhang Dian who came out, he would not be able to make a big thunder, but he just changed the topic. I believe that these courtiers who have cultivated to perfection will no longer be bored by themselves.

Mu Yun hurriedly responded: The minister is here!

For the two Zhigongju, how do you wait?

Mu Yun calmly replied: Your Majesty, regarding this matter of knowing tribute, the minister still has a case to start, one is related to Mingjiao, and the other is related to the two Zhigongju this time. According to the minister's inference, it may also be involved in the leakage of the scientific examination!

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "You can play!"

Mu Yundao: Your Majesty still remembers that when the two Zhigongju were appointed that day, someone came out to oppose it, and this person also took out a thing, claiming to be Zhao Tingzhi's handwriting, and impeached him as an envoy

Well, if you don't mention this matter, I almost forgot that it was the right to fill Que Luo Youde. I remember that at that time, I gave you Dali Temple a limited inquiry about the case. However, now that the matter is in a hurry, let's wait for the matter of the scientific examination to be clarified! If you continue to talk, how can this matter be related to Mingjiao again?

Mu Yun looked confident: When the minister interrogated this Luo Youde recently, he had already confessed, saying that the framing of Zhao Tingzhi was due to the coercion of Mingjiao, and he had no choice but to do it. Now I feel very ashamed of Your Majesty and Zhao Tingzhi. Now that he has personally signed the confession, I hope that Your Majesty will take a look at it!

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, and an official eunuch came down to take it and handed it to Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Xu saw it, his face changed again. If this Mingjiao is just gathering people to break the law and disturb the place, that's it, after all, any dynasty will produce some gangsters, which is not surprising. In fact, she had just heard that the Ming Sect had participated in the leaking of the questions in the scientific examination, and she was already extremely angry, if it weren't for the fact that these courtiers proposed to severely punish the Ming Sect disciples too much, which caused him to rebel, but only one question from Zhang Dan, maybe he would have confirmed it in the court.

Now, Mingjiao has directly influenced the imperial court, what does this mean? They can control the speech officials, can't they control other officials? They can control one person, can't they control two, three, or even more? If many of the ministers in the court are controlled by Mingjiao, then how many days can the Zhao family's world last?

Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart, and a pair of godless eyes kept sweeping back and forth among the ministers, trying to find suspicious elements among the ministers. It's okay if he doesn't look at it, but when he looks at it, he feels that this one seems to be controlled, that one seems to be controlled, and then that one seems to be controlled.
