Chapter 13

"Wang Taiwei, Wang Taiwei!" Feng Pu, the privy envoy on the side, saw Wang Zongliu suddenly fainted and hurriedly went over to help him.

"Wang Taiwei!" Seeing Wang Zongliu fainted, Wang Shiyong also became anxious.

There are also Mo Chou and others.

These people who usually didn't care about Wang Zongli suddenly showed great concern for Wang Zongli, as if their own father had fainted.

Everyone else knew that Wang Zongli was acting, and Wang Zongli also knew that others knew that he was acting, and everyone else began to cooperate with Wang Zongli.

The purpose of everyone's acting is to make peace so that the emperor cannot kill Xu Bingzhe.

Xu Bingzhe was promoted by He Li.

Wang Shiyong and others opposed He Li and wanted He Li to step down. Logically speaking, they would not save Xu Bingzhe.

If Xu Bingzhe is dismissed or demoted, they will even be the first to stand up and agree.

But if Xu Bingzhe was killed, they would not agree.

Not killing ministers is the political bottom line for these people and the political bottom line they fight for themselves.

If this bottom line is breached, they may be in danger of being killed if they jump around again in the future.

Therefore, they must unite to guard this bottom line, and the meaning is obvious: Officials, you can demote Xu Bingzhe and demote him to Qiongzhou, no problem, but you cannot kill him!

Facing these ministers with very good acting skills, Zhao Ning is not helpless.

He shouted loudly: "Gao Qiu! Come out!"

Everyone looked surprised and looked around.

who?

Gao Qiu?

Wasn't he dismissed from office?

And I heard that he was sick and was seriously ill at home.

Gao Qiu was indeed ill. According to official history, Gao Qiu died just a few days after the city of Tokyo was destroyed.

He was not killed by the Jin people, but after he was dismissed from office, he felt that the emperor would come to settle accounts with him, and he felt nervous all day long at home.

However, after a simple conversation last night, Gao Qiu felt that the second spring of his life had come.

Gao Qiu walked out of the corner of the court. His face was still a little pale and haggard, but his energy and energy had recovered a lot.

When he came out, everyone looked at him with surprised eyes.

"Gao Qiu, did you hear what I just said?"

"I heard it."

Zhao Ning waved his hand, and Gao Qiu said outside: "Here comes someone!"

The guards from outside came in.

"His Majesty said he would drag this man out and kill him!"

The Imperial Guard soldiers were startled for a moment, then grabbed Xu Bingzhe and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am loyal to the Song Dynasty and to Your Majesty!"

"My dear sirs, I am a loyal minister!"

Mo Qiu came out and cursed: "Gao Qiu! Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to arrest important officials in the main hall!"

Gao Qiu took out the official seal, which was the deputy commander of the front department.

The Palace Front Division was the Imperial Guards Division in the Song Dynasty.

Together with the Guards and Military Division, they are called the "Two Divisions".

Its subordinate organizations, the Imperial Palace Command and Envoy Division, and the subordinate organizations of the Imperial Guard and Military Division, the Imperial Guard and Imperial Army, Horse and Army Command and Envoy Division, and the Imperial Guard and Infantry Command and Envoy Division, are collectively known as the "Three Yamen".

The two divisions and three yamen are the highest command bodies of the national forbidden army.

Note, it is a command organization, it only has the power to command, not to mobilize troops.

The Five Army Governor's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty in later generations was similar in nature.

Gao Qiu was previously the commander of the Palace Front Division.

In the Five Dynasties, this position was called the Dianqian Sidu Check. It was Zhao Kuangyin's position in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Because Song Taizu had held it, the Northern Song Dynasty no longer set up the Dianqian Sidu Check.

The commander of the Palace Front Division became the supreme commander of the Forbidden Army, also known as the Palace Commander.

In the Song Dynasty, it was customary to call this position Taiwei.

Therefore, Gao Taiwei does not mean that Gao Qiu's official position is Taiwei, but a title.

However, what's so fucking deceptive now is that Wang Zonglio, as the commander of the imperial army, actually pretended to be dead when facing the emperor's order.

This is enough to prove the intimidating power of this group of civil servants.

Fortunately, Zhao Ning saved a hand and called Gao Qiu back last night.

Otherwise, if you want to kill people and establish your authority today, you have to personally call in the imperial guards from outside.

It's so shameless, and the emperor directly let the imperial army come in to kill people, so isn't the finger of blame all on the emperor?

If Gao Qiu takes action, everyone will hate Gao Qiu more than the emperor.

Gao Qiu waved the official seal in front of Mo Chuan, with a standard fake smile on his lips, a face that said "I just like that you can't stand me but can't kill me". That kind of look is as mean as you can get.

How mean.

After all, the golf king came from a scoundrel background, and he had fatal leverage in the hands of the emperor. He didn't care whether he offended these intellectuals or not.

He almost died of illness at home because he was dismissed from office and worried about liquidation.

How could I miss this opportunity that I finally had to make a comeback?

"Gao Qiu! Don't bully others too much!"

"Zhang Shuye said that anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed. You are all just joining in the fun!" Gao Qiu said this and followed the imperial guards out.

"Your Majesty, killing the minister will damage your Majesty's holy name. Please think twice!"

"If this is the holy name, I don't want this kind of holy name!"

Xu Bingzhe screamed like a slaughtered pig and struggled violently.

He will probably become the first minister in the Song Dynasty to be hacked to death outside Chuigong Hall.

Xu Bingzhe was tied up and pressed to the ground. He let out a miserable scream.

Then the Imperial Guard raised his knife and slashed him with it. There was a click, and the knife got stuck in his neck.

Blood spurted out and covered the snow on the ground.

Xu Bingzhe let out a scream and couldn't scream out because the back of his neck was cut in half.

He could only make a sound of "beep babbling", and his face was distorted by the severe pain.

The Imperial Guard obviously didn't kill people often. He was a little unfamiliar and trembling with fear.

Gao Qiu shouted: "You haven't even touched the second knife yet! You all want to die!"

He reacted immediately, pulled out the knife, and slashed hard, finally cutting off Xu Bingzhe's head.

The head rolled in the snow and turned sideways.

Xu Bingzhe's face still retained the painful expression at the moment before his death, and his eyes were wide open.

When they heard the screams outside, everyone knew that Xu Bingzhe had been killed, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze.

Gao Qiu walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Bingzhe has been executed."

"Hang his head in front of the city gate and show it to the public. I want everyone to see the fate of the capitulationists!"

"yes!"

No one spoke, and no one dared to speak again.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Shuye and Gao Qiu, especially Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye is also a civil servant, but many people think that he is a traitor and that he has lowered the political bottom line.

The next struggle in the court may not be about who is demoted or dismissed from office.

But it’s really a matter of life and death!

Zhao Ning said again: "Zhang Shuye."

"I'm here."

"From today on, everything in the city will be under your control!"

"I accept the decree!"

"Liu Kai!"

"I'm here!"

"You assist Zhang Shuye."

"I accept the decree!"

"The rest of the people must cooperate with Zhang Shuye. If anyone dares to talk nonsense about peace again, I will hang his head on the city wall!"
