The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the gate of Bianjing City had just opened.

And the wrestlers of the palace came to the gate of the city with a thick and long stake, and drove the stake into it next to the hole in the gate of the city.

The people passing by wondered why a stake was erected at the gate of the city, but no one dared to ask.

In the end, the guards who were guarding the city couldn't help but ask.

"Hey! Brothers? What are you doing here with a wooden stake early in the morning? ”

Just after the dirt around the stake was solidified, one of the wrestlers turned his head and replied:

"I heard the father-in-law in the palace say that this wooden stake is to tie people, it seems that it was ordered by His Majesty himself!"

"Shhh An order from His Majesty himself? Tsk, what kind of person does this have to tie up, you can actually let Your Majesty personally order! ”

The guard gasped and was shocked.

"How do I know this, we are just working, this thing is not light, we carried it out as soon as the palace ban fell in the morning, and it took more than an hour to send it.

However, I heard that the granddaughter of my cousin's third uncle's son was sent to the palace said that it seemed that His Majesty had caught a big man from outside, but I didn't know who it was. ”

"That's right."

The guards nodded clearly, watching them continue to work, they couldn't help but think of which big man could actually be "cared for" by His Majesty?

The people next to them heard a rough idea, but they also knew that this wooden stake was actually used by the emperor to tie up a big person, and they immediately started to talk about it.

It didn't take long for the news that the emperor had set up a wooden stake at the door to tie up a certain big man spread throughout Bianjing City.

When the officials of the court and the central government heard this, their hearts were terrified, because the news had changed by the time it reached their ears.

From the emperor erecting a stake at the gate of the city to tie up a certain big man who was captured, to the emperor erecting a stake at the gate of the city, ready to tie him up at the gate of the city when he rebelled in the court and did bad things!

This suddenly frightened the officials who had ghosts in their hearts.

So, when the officials went to court the next day, after Wang Huaien finished singing, the entire court suddenly fell into silence.

No one dares to come out, or if they dare to come out, they are fine, and if they dare not come out, they dare not say anything.

Looking at the strange atmosphere of the court, Zhao Jun was a little strange, and nodded slightly to Wang Huaien.

Wang Huaien hurriedly repeated the salute.

"Zhuqing has a book to start playing, but there is no book to retreat!"

It's still quiet down there.

This made Zhao Jun scratch his head.

When even can only take the initiative to say: "What? Could it be that all of you Aiqing today have nothing to report?

Could it be that there are no problems in Da Song today, and everything is going smoothly? ”

Hearing his inquiry, the officials below looked at each other.

After a long while, he finally had the courage to stand up and ask: "Your Majesty, said that today I heard that Your Majesty set up a wooden stake outside Bianjing City yesterday to be used to tie up the ministers that Your Majesty dislikes, is this true?" ”

At first, Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard his question.

Why is it that I have erected a pillar to hinder you?

Is it all in charge?

Are you officials too idle? I have nothing to do every day.

But when he heard him say that the pillar was intended to be used to tie the minister who didn't listen to him, he immediately cried and laughed: "You Aiqing may have misunderstood, that pillar is not used to tie the minister." ”

Clear!

At the moment when Zhao Jun's words came out, Zhao Jun actually clearly heard a heavy exhalation sound from the court, how many people must have breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!

The person who got up to ask seemed to be a little bolder at this moment, and continued to ask: "The minister wants to know why His Majesty has erected a wooden stake at the gate of the city?" ”

"Tie people up!"

Zhao Jun said as a matter of course.

"Shhh

There was another gasp.

The hearts of the hundreds of officials below were raised again.

The face of the person who asked just now was also stiff, but he still insisted on asking, but his words could not hide the trembling of fear: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that it was not used to tie up the minister?" ”

Zhao Jun didn't understand why they were like this again, so he could only say:

"I said I didn't use it to tie up ministers, but I didn't say he didn't use it to tie people, what are you all thinking?"

Clams?

A big question mark appeared on everyone's heads, and Zhao Jun also looked at the group of dumb melons below suspiciously, and after a while, he suddenly reacted and immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha! I understand, don't you think that the wooden stake at the gate of the city was erected for you? ”

The officials below hurriedly lowered their heads.

Zhao Jun smiled and explained: "That's for Ding Nie." ”

As soon as the word Ding Nie came out, the officials, who were still a little ashamed just now, were suddenly stunned.

Immediately, someone asked: "Your Majesty, listen to Your Majesty's meaning, this Ding Nie has been caught by Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Jun didn't continue to hide it, and simply nodded and admitted.

A few days ago, the men I sent out caught up with the fleeing Ding family in Haifu County.

After some encirclement and suppression, the rest of the Ding family was killed on the spot, but Ding Nie, the head of the Ding family, was captured alive.

It won't be long before the former lieutenant will be able to return to Bianjing. ”

When Zhao Jun deliberately accentuated his tone when he said the three words of the former lieutenant, the hundred officials also understood His Majesty's mood very well.

It is because of the Ding family that the Great Song Dynasty has become what it is today.

It is normal for His Majesty to have a grudge against Ding Nie.

Coupled with the pillar standing at the gate of Bianjing City, everyone couldn't help but pray secretly for Ding Nie in their hearts, afraid that this former captain would be killed by the saint.

But they didn't sympathize at all.

Because the Xiongnu broke the city, not only the people of Bianjing City were hurt and suffered, but even they could not avoid it.

As Beijing officials, they are almost rooted in this Bianjing City.

Their entire lives were also here, and when the Xiongnu were about to go bankrupt, in order to escape for their lives, they could only endure the pain and completely abandon these.

After the court cleaned up the property and returned it to its owner, more than half of the shops in Bianjing were not claimed.

No one dares to claim it, otherwise the imperial court will ask you how you can buy a shop in Bianjing with your salary level.

As a result, the treasury has added nearly half of the shops to the title deeds.

So for the Ding family, these officials are also itching with hatred!

Immediately, there was humanity: "Your Majesty, Song traitors like the Ding family who colluded with the Huns must not let them die easily, otherwise I will be sorry for the thousands of people persecuted by the Huns, and I will be sorry for the first emperor and the first prince of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"You can rest assured that I won't let it get better."

Zhao Jun made a guarantee, and everyone was satisfied.

After solving the matter of standing trees at the city gate, the mood of the hundred officials was much better, and the next early dynasty also went smoothly.

Not long after the court meeting dispersed, the head of the Ding family, who had caused the invasion of the Huns, was captured, and the news that he would be transported back to be tortured soon spread throughout Bianjing City.

When the people learned about it, they all hurriedly began to prepare, vowing to give this bastard who caused them to almost hang white silk in their homes with unforgettable memories!

At this time, Ding Nie, who was being escorted to Bianjing City on the ship, had no idea what kind of scene he was about to face.
