Chapter 484: The Ministers Are Incompetent

Zhao Zhen thought that Su Shi did the right thing, if it was him, he would behead Miyagu and Zhu Qian.

Leaving a Zhu Qian is already a manifestation of Su Shiren's virtue. Of course, it is better to kill Zhu Qian, who peed his pants, if he stays, it will only be more disgusting.

"Huh." Zhao Zhen, who put down the book, laughed, and Zhang Mao, who was looking at it, was very puzzled. "Your Majesty, do you appreciate Su Shaofu's actions?"

"Haha, no, it's just an impulse of young people, understandable but not encouraged." Zhao Zhen continued to say with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Zhen's answer, Zhang Mao was completely puzzled on the side. And while he was on duty to go to dinner, he quietly went to Yanfu Palace to meet Queen Cao, the lord of the harem.

During this period, Zhang Mao was already in a hot fight with Empress Cao.

Zhang Mao admired Empress Cao's courage and means to do things, and thought that this was a person like Empress Lu, so he had the power to work.

Empress Cao also needed Zhang Maoze's close ministers at the emperor's side, and she needed him to do something for herself. She accepted Zhang Maoze, and said that when she could listen to politics in the future, she would definitely hand over the secret spy department to him to manage.

It doesn't matter if it smells the same, or it doesn't matter if they use each other, or they really admire it in their hearts, in short, the two came together in secret.

When Zhang Mao roughly said the content of the book, and said that Zhao Zhen was actually smiling, and he was puzzled, Queen Cao quickly laughed too, "What, I don't understand?" ”

"Yes, the slave is stupid, please show the master." Zhang Mao said very modestly.

"Well, then the palace will tell you about it. The reason is very simple, Su Shi is using this move to prove to the official family that he wants to be a lonely minister, he has no second thoughts, even if he hid the black horse before, it is just a means of self-preservation. ”

"Look at it, he offended the generals by killing Miyako, disgraced Zhu Qian in the world, and offended Wenchen. Those who want to continue to stay in the court and want to survive can only be protected by the officials. In this case, how dare he have other thoughts? ”

"What? Su Shi is so young, can he think of this? Zhang Mao asked in surprise after hearing this.

"How's it going? Anyone who dares to underestimate his age is doomed. Empress Cao let out a sigh at the moment.

What she wants to say is that it is a pity that such a talent cannot be used by her.

Before, he wanted to win over Su Shi, or he wanted to find some trouble for Su Shi and let her take refuge in herself. She even did not hesitate to take the initiative to be a matchmaker for Su Shi with the respect of the mother of the country.

But the effect was not very good, and after the incident, Su Shi did not come to beg himself. That Han Qi and Fu Bi are also old foxes, and they also don't show any performance, as if this matter is just a rumor.

Empress Cao wanted to see them react so that she could have a chance to intervene. However, the three of them all took a cold approach, and slowly this matter was forgotten.

And in the process, Su Shi actually knocked down Fan Zhongyan in a fit of rage, acting like a hedgehog that was not easy to mess with, which made Empress Cao have to stop some of the plans she had originally thought of.

Then, Su Shi helped King Jing establish Long Wuwei, showing an attitude of full support, all of which seemed to tell himself that they were not all the way.

For Su Shi to have such a choice, Empress Cao deeply regretted. But she didn't let go completely, she was still waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the time when Su Shi was attacked by a group, she could ask for herself, and that was when she subdued this person. 33

Of course, if Su Shi insists on going his own way, he still has to support King Jing and go against himself, at that time, Queen Cao may really use murderous intentions, and at that time, I am afraid that Su Shi will be really dangerous.

Don't say what Queen Cao thinks in her heart, let's just say that the next day coincided with the small court meeting, as soon as Zhao Zhen appeared, his ass sat on the dragon chair, and the courtiers who impeached Su Shi below stood up with a group of people.

Looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it was those original neutrals who stood up at this time and denounced Su Shi's various wrongs.

In addition to Zhou Shushan, Tang Ke, Hua'an and some other officials of the Jingwang faction standing motionless, even Bao Zheng and Fu Bi had to stand up and accuse Su Shi of not being right.

As a member of the Xianggong, even if the two of them want to shield Su Shi, they can't contradict the ministers in such a thing, if they really do this, it will be tantamount to isolating themselves from the court.

Besides, so many people are impeaching Su Shi, so it's not bad that the two of them are standing up and saying something.

Zhao Zhen sat high on the Jinluan Palace, watched the courtiers below kneel down one after another, and asked a question with a very serious face, "General Zhongwu first arrived in the north, three battles in two days, and nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalry were wiped out?" Who can achieve this victory? Or whoever can do better than him, or just as good, will replace him as commander of the army. When the time comes, I will leave your family in Bianliang City, and if you succeed, I will not hesitate to reward you, but if you fail, the whole family will be exiled. ”

"Whoever has the confidence to please stand up, I will escort General Zhongwu back to Bianliang for trial, and replace him to the north to preside over the situation."

Zhao Zhen's voice reverberated above the vertical arch hall, and the courtiers who originally wanted to continue to talk about Su Shi's crimes were silent in an instant.

yes.

Everyone thought that Zhu Qian's scare of peeing his pants was caused by Su Shi, thinking that this was a shame for the literati, just thinking about this matter, but forgetting that it was Su Shi's command, and the three battles in two days destroyed the merits of nearly 10,000 Mengqi.

This is Mengqi.

Even the once invincible Liao army was not its opponent's Mengcai.

But as soon as Su Shi arrived in the north, he was severely injured and cleaned up.

Although his side suffered heavy losses, and even a lot of deserters, he still defeated the Mengqi.

This is a fact, and it is an indelible achievement.

Thinking of even such a strong Mengqi, Su Shi said that he would clean it up, and these people had to write a big word in their hearts.

Especially some courtiers who have been to the north or the west, who have been on the battlefield and commanded great battles, know even more how difficult it is to destroy 10,000 cavalry, and how glorious it is.

Let's put it this way, it may not be difficult to defeat the cavalry, but if you want to defeat and destroy tens of thousands of cavalry, you need at least three times or even five or eight times the number of troops.

Even so, it is normal for one's side to pay a heavy price for this, and it may even be possible that there are more dead in battle than enemy cavalry.

But looking back at Su Shi's report, it seems that the number of casualties is not very large, and this alone is not something they can do.

Now that the official family is questioning, he can get Su Shi back according to everyone's request, or even bring him back. But the premise is that someone can replace Su Shi to fight on the northern front, and he must achieve the same results as Su Shi, isn't this embarrassing?

If this matter was easy, then why did you need to let Su Shi go in the first place?

If it's easy, why do you need to bow your head and send Gu Jin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to the front line?

Isn't it because everyone can't do it, and they still think it's an impossible task, that Su Shi has mastered the military power.

Now that they're doing a good job, you want to get it back. That's fine, then you can lead the troops to defeat.

Zhao Zhen said, you can do it, but your family must stay in Bianliang, once you lose the battle, whether you are killed, captured, or run away, then your family will be exiled for thousands of miles.

In other words, there is no room for success, not for failure.

But just because he was angry, he couldn't just stand up and say that he could lead the troops, and if he lost the battle, he could escape back and say that he was incompetent.

Although everyone was very dissatisfied with what Su Shi did to Zhu Qian, if they wanted to lose their entire family's lives because of this, then they would not gamble anyway.

Zhu Qian is embarrassing, it's just his personal shame, what's the matter with them?

Besides, Zhu Qian is just one of the readers, he can't represent all the readers, right?

At this moment, after everyone weighed the pros and cons, they all bowed their heads and were silent, and the people who called Huan just now also closed their mouths one by one, and the whole hall was instantly quiet.

Knowing that this was the result, Zhao Zhen looked down from a high place, and said hatefully: "What? Didn't everyone have a good time just now? Now that the Great Song Dynasty needs you, why don't you squeak one by one, are you really my loyal ministers? Is it really the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the ministers are incompetent, and the ministers are guilty."

In this meeting, all the ministers of the entire vertical arch hall knelt down, including Zhou Shushan and others, who had not impeached Su Shi before, also knelt on the ground.

This is not the time to stand out from the crowd.

Of course, when they fell to their knees, their hearts were filled with joy and joy.

Su Shaofu is still powerful, his ability to command the army is not something that others can replace at all, whether you are angry or red-eyed, but you don't have the ability to replace it, and you are angry.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from Zhao Zhen's mouth.

But that's all, Zhao Zhen can't punish people, first, Su Shi's actions are indeed a bit excessive.

Second, if these courtiers are really punished, who will do these tasks in the court next?

The Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song of the Zhao family, but the work can be done well without the Zhao family's lineage, and these pillars of the country need to be completed and shared layer by layer.

It's not good to press all the courtiers too hard, Zhao Zhen said again: "The loyal generals won a complete victory in this battle, and they should be rewarded." However, beheading the palace and tying up Zhuqian did not go to the court, it was really a Song law, and he should be severely punished according to the law. But considering that Zhu Qian and others were at fault, and General Zhongwu was born and died, and he also had great merits, this was offset by the merits, and he issued an order to Su Shi, telling him that it was good to fight a war, but the local officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not something he could deal with, and the next time such a thing happened, he would be severely punished. ”

That's 50 boards each.

Some people died, but not completely......
