Chapter 298: Hold it high and take it lightly
"It's just..."
Before Zhao Zhen could nod his head with satisfaction, two more words came out of Jia Changchao's mouth.
Everyone knows that when the two of them are talking, the first thing is not very important, often but, or but, but then this is the point.
"It's just what, Jia Aiqing might as well say it bluntly." After all, he called the other party's name and asked others to express his position, but now he can't interrupt his words, isn't this a slap in his face.
"Your Majesty, the minister is worried that when Su Shaofu killed He Zhifu just now, the result was to be held high and let go. That Su Shi killed Zhou Tong, but he had to punish him severely, so the other courtiers didn't know what to think. Do they think that they have studied for many years before they have become famous and become courtiers in the court, but they are far inferior to a martial artist who only knows how to fight, and a barbarian who only knows how to threaten and extort? ”
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it is..."
What are you afraid of, Jia Changchao didn't say. But the meaning is already very obvious, I'm afraid that at that time, all the ministers will have opinions, and that is when Zhao Zhen needs a headache.
The most taboo thing for those in the upper position is that a bowl of water cannot be leveled.
Although there is no fairness in the world, at least superficial fairness is still needed.
If you are not even willing to do basic acting, it will only chill the hearts of more people, which is likely to affect the stability of the imperial power. After all, many times, when the imperial order is issued, it is ultimately up to the people below to carry it out, and the emperor is the only one, so he can't do much at all.
Jia Changchao's reminder, Zhao Zhen only thought of the matter of his own disposal of Su Shi killing He Yuan just now. It is indeed exalted and lightly, which does not know how many courtiers and scholars have been unhappy, so if he is too ruthless in Zhou Tong's affairs, wouldn't it force those people to express their dissatisfaction with themselves?
The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty still have a lot of power, and if they are in a hurry, they can do anything, for example, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has been edicted, and he doesn't know how much, this is the result of the efforts of the ministers.
Thinking that he had almost done something wrong, Zhao Zhen felt a pang in his heart, and when he looked at Jia Changchao, there was a trace of relief in his eyes. This is the person I value, I think about it thoroughly, and I don't look at the wrong person. "Jia Aiqing, then how do you think this matter should be resolved, you can't let my people die in vain."
The person who emphatically explains me refers to Zhao Zhen's importance to the secret spy department.
In this regard, Jia Changchao had already considered it, so he clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, of course the matter can't be settled like this. In the opinion of the minister, the punishment still has to be punished, but it can't be too intense, for example, Su Shiyin can be heavily fined, doesn't he like to make money? That must also care about money, we will punish him heavily, make him feel distressed, and in the future, when he encounters such a thing, he must have a long memory and think twice. ”
"Fines?" Zhao Zhen first said with some confusion, and then nodded. Yes, Su Shi doesn't like to be an official too much, on the contrary, he likes business very much, such a person should like money very much, so punishing him with money must be able to make him have a better memory.
Having already agreed with this idea in his heart, Zhao Zhen asked, "According to Jia Aiqing's opinion, how much should be punished?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is not a matter that ministers should consider." Jia Changchao raised his head and smiled, and then glanced at the place where the third envoy Song Qi was standing.
Zhao Zhen is also a smart person, and he followed his gaze to see Song Itch who was standing there and bowing his head, and immediately came to the spirit, "Song Aiqing, tell me, how much money is appropriate." ”
Song Qi boasted that in such a thing, he was like a soy sauce-like existence.
He is in charge of the national finance, and things like Su Shi's murder have nothing to do with him. Considering that Su Shi would hand over a large amount of silver to the treasury every year, it was not good for him to say anything at this time.
Is Su Shi innocent?
That is, opening your eyes and telling nonsense, which is pure.
Is Su Shi guilty?
If Su Shi has something, won't the income of the treasury be reduced in the future, which is not what he wants.
After thinking about it, Song Yi decided not to speak. In this way, no matter what the result is, when you see Su Shi in the future, you will not be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen actually named his own name, so Song Yi couldn't even think about it. "Your Majesty Shengming, you can say as much as you want."
"What about a million?" Zhao Zhen had long known that Song Qi was slippery, and the question just now was just a casual remark.
"Your Majesty." Song Yi bowed his body to the end and said.
But he was thinking in his heart, "Su Shi, Su Shi, this is the meaning of the official family, and it has nothing to do with me." ”33
"Then, it will punish him for a million yuan, and it will also make him feel distressed and distressed, and he will not be so reckless in the future." Zhao Zhen saw that the matter was settled, and his face finally looked better.
The matter ended in such a way, and the ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After shouting long live the emperor one by one, they withdrew from the vertical arch hall and walked towards their respective offices in twos and threes.
Dazong Zheng Zhao Yunrang is a black line on his face.
Zhao Yunrang, who didn't want to touch his head, didn't say anything just now, because he didn't want to arouse Zhao Zhen's disgust. But he was still angry that he was only fined one million yuan in silver, and the matter was settled like this.
As far as he knew, Su Shi was very rich, and just fining him one million guan would not play any role as Zhao Zhen thought at all. On the contrary, it will only fuel the arrogance of the other party.
This kind of punishment is nothing at all, and I don't know what the officials think.
Zhao Yunrang, who was thinking like this in his heart, suddenly changed his face when he thought of this, and another thought appeared in his mind. "Could it be that the official family has no intention of punishing Su Shi severely at all, and everything just now is just pretending?"
As soon as the idea came out, the more Zhao Yunrang thought about it, the more he thought that the truth should be like this. If Zhao Zhen really wants to clean up Su Shi, then he will directly make a holy decree, why do you need to ask everyone's opinions?
Even if you want to ask for opinions, the most important thing you should ask is yourself. After all, he didn't deal with Su Shi, which was a well-known thing, but he didn't even ask himself, and finally made a decision, which was obviously going through the motions.
"Awesome, awesome." Thinking of this, Zhao Yunrang had to say with emotion.
obviously wanted to let Su Shi go, but for the sake of face and to tell others that the Son of Heaven's pro-army was not so easy to mess with, he deliberately acted such a play, and he really thought that the emperor was bored with Su Shi just now and was going to do it.
It's a shame that I didn't take the initiative to jump out, otherwise I would have ruined the official's plan, and now I won't be able to do anything.
At this time, Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his cousin deserves to be the emperor, his mind is indeed not so easy to ponder, it seems that he still has to be careful in the future.
Zhao Yunrang's guess was right, Zhao Zhen did not mean to punish Su Shi heavily.
A courtier who can make money for himself and show his might on the battlefield, which emperor would not like it, how could he really cut off his arm because of some things?
He did that just now, but he was just acting for everyone to see, and it was also intended to tell everyone that he attached great importance to the secret spy department. You don't want to learn Su Shi and kill the people in the secret spy department, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Now that the matter is finally over, I think the news will spread soon, and the other courtiers will also know that the secret agent department is not easy to mess with, and his goal will be achieved. After watching the ministers retreat to the main hall, Zhao Zhen got up from the dragon chair and ran towards the Zichen Palace, "Go, bring me that old thing from Chen Lin." ”
Although Zhao Zhen didn't mean to dispose of Su Shi, after all, he killed his own Son of Heaven pro-army, so it was necessary for Zhao Zhen to remind him well, at least give him a serious warning.
Needless to say, this matter will eventually fall on Chen Lin.
The secret spy has always been in charge of Chen Lin, and now that something has happened, of course Zhao Zhen can't spare him, and he has to let him do the finishing work.
Zhang Mao went to pass on the decree in a hurry, as Zhao Zhen's most trusted eunuch, he has always been fighting with Chen Lin openly and secretly, and now that he has the opportunity to step on the other party, of course he will not let go of such an opportunity.
Chen Lin was resting in the private courtyard outside the palace today, and Zhang Mao appeared in front of him unexpectedly, and then passed on the official family's will to see him with a serious face.
Taking the lead, Chen Lin came to Zichen Palace, and was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face. waited until Zhao Zhen was tired of scolding, and then he raised his hand and threw the urgent report about Zhou Tong on his face, "Take a good look, this is the person you taught, it's really bold." ”
Carefully took the emergency report that fell on the ground in his hand, Chen Lin just glanced at it a few times, his face changed greatly, and then he knelt on the ground with a thud and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave really didn't know that Zhou Tong's courage would be so big, this was really not instructed by the slave and maid." ”
"Alright, keep watching." Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair, drinking the kernel tea handed by Zhang Maoze, and didn't look at Chen Lin's words.
Chen Lin, who didn't dare to speak anymore and continued to look at it, soon changed and changed his face. Su Shi actually killed Zhou Tong, killed!
Even if Zhou Tong is no longer the same, even if Zhou Tong does too much, he is a member of the Secret Spy Division, and he is also the deputy commander of the Northern Region of the Secret Spy Division.
Don't say that he is the deputy commander, the No. 2 person in the north who has the Eight Classics, even if he is an ordinary secret agent of the secret spy department, it is not that you can punish the crime if you say that you can punish the crime, and you can kill it if you say that you can kill it.
What is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, that is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and only the Son of Heaven has the right to make all kinds of decisions about them, this is the privilege.
It is precisely by virtue of this special power that the Secret Spy Division can become a sharp sword in Zhao Zhen's hands, which can be broken without breaking anything, and can help him stabilize the imperial power. This is also the strength given by Zhao Kuangyi of Song Taizong at the beginning of the establishment of this organization, and this is also a kind of protection he set up for himself because he was worried about following the old path of his imperial brother Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
