Chapter 48 You are pressing me to ask if the sword in my hand is sharp
Officials?
hehe!
Zhao Ning walked over in three steps and took off the Emperor's Sword.
This move frightened Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai to the point where their legs gave out and they almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Ning ignored them and strode out.
"Official..." Wang Huaiji hurriedly followed, and the chamberlains and maids behind him also hurriedly followed.
As soon as Zhao Guan's family came out, the imperial guards outside Wende Hall quickly followed suit, surrounding the emperor.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai were frightened and confused.
Zhao Ji said: "What is this traitor going to do?"
With that said, he followed out.
Zhao Ji naturally had his own plans in mind.
After the Jin army attacked the city last time, they took the initiative to negotiate peace. Most of the ministers in the court were in favor of peace negotiation.
But because Xu Bingzhe was killed before, they didn't dare to speak out openly.
And in that chaotic situation, some ministers secretly communicated with Zhao Ning to take the initiative.
The key here is density.
Being dense means that this person has not publicly stated that he wants to take the initiative, and other ministers do not know that he is a militant.
But he is actually a peacemaker in front of other ministers.
For example, Mo Chou.
This means catering to the emperor while flattering other officials, taking care of both sides and speculating on both sides.
But its essence is still peace and surrender.
To be clear, this is by no means high emotional intelligence, this is shameless.
Basically, the ministers who take the initiative have this mentality.
They actually did not expect that the Jin Army would attack the city in a large scale today.
It was not until the Jin army launched a large-scale attack on the city that they panicked.
When they learned that the scale of the Jin army's attack on the city was beyond their imagination, they were no longer panicked, but completely lost their minds.
They have no other choice.
The only way is: Surrender immediately! Cut off territory! Pay compensation!
In their eyes, the common people in Tokyo are no longer human beings, they are cash machines, cash machines for reparations!
Zhao Ning held a sword in one hand and walked quickly.
The palace chamberlains, maids, and female officials along the way all stepped aside.
Even Jing Chao could feel the emperor's anger at this time.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai followed behind.
They want to see what Zhao Ning can do at this time!
Now so many officials have arrived at the gate of the palace to force the palace to negotiate a peace. Let's see how he ends up!
When Zhao Ning arrived at the palace gate, he saw that all civil and military officials had indeed gathered at the palace gate.
The wind and snow fell on Zhao Ning, but he ignored it.
There is still noise in the distance.
When all the officials saw the emperor coming out, they immediately came to their senses.
"Guan Family! The Jin Army is attacking the city! The Jin Army is attacking the city in a big way!"
The speaker was Wang Shiyong, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Wang Shiyong seemed at a loss, and even his voice was trembling slightly when he spoke.
Zhao Ning still held the sword in his hand. He glanced at it, and finally his eyes fell back on Wang Shiyong, and said coldly: "I know."
"Officials! Let's negotiate peace quickly! For the sake of our ancestors, the country, the country, and the country, it's not too late to negotiate peace now!"
Wang Shiyong spoke without hesitation, and the officials behind him also seemed to want to follow his advice.
Wang Shiyong is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has very great power. He is in charge of the performance evaluation of different types of officials.
Equivalent to one of the vice presidents of human resources in the Song Dynasty.
Why is it said to be one?
Because our Song Dynasty was famous for having too many officials, who restricted each other. There were two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other one was Mo Chou, who was in charge of different objects.
This is something.
Zhao Ning stood there, the wind and snow quickly passed over his body, and the cold wind cut into his face like a knife, but he was completely unaware of it.
He looked at this scene coldly, looking at these ministers, and suddenly remembered the villager's words:
Above the temple, rotten wood serves as an official, and between the palaces and majesties, animals eat and earn money;
People with wolf-like hearts and dog-like behavior are in power, and servile and servile people are in power.
As a result, the people of Shejiqiu Ruins were devastated!
Isn’t that what the Song Dynasty is like now?
The Song Dynasty gathered all the efforts of the country to support a special class called officials.
As a result, a group of people who are greedy for life, afraid of death, ungrateful, and have no shame have been raised!
You are asking me if the sword in my hand is sharp!
Zhao Ning looked at Wang Shiyong coldly and said, "Mo Chou!"
Mo Chou came out: "I'm here!"
"I remember, did I say that if anyone talks about peace again, I will chop off his head?"
Mo Chou hesitated for a moment and did not dare to speak.
Zhao Ning's tone became more serious, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, fixed on Mo Chou: "Have I ever said such a thing!"
Mo Chou shuddered and said nothing. He knew that at this time, it was best not to talk nonsense.
Mo Chou is a very cunning person.
But a military general on the side came out. This man's name was Fan Qiong, the inspector of the four walls of Tokyo City.
During the Jingkang crisis, it was this man who forced the female family members of the Zhao family to leave the city and sacrifice themselves to the Jin army with a sword.
The Liu Miao mutiny initiated by Jianyan was also caused by this man's connivance with his generals to enter the city and rob.
Fan Qiong said: "The officials have said it, after killing Xu Bingzhe that day. But now and then, the Jin army is attacking the city in a large scale, and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time. If we don't negotiate for peace now, there is a danger of the country's subjugation.
I am also doing this for the sake of the officialdom and the country!"
Everything came out, both literary and military.
Zhao Ning said: "Fan Qing, why are you here?"
"minister……"
"As the inspector of the Four Walls City, shouldn't you be guarding the city now?"
"I am thinking about the safety of the official family."
"Okay, since you know what I said, I will kill you today without complaint!"
As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone's expressions changed instantly.
Wang Shiyong said loudly: "Officials, you can no longer anger ministers at will, otherwise the country will perish, the country will perish!"
When Zhao Ning saw that the ministers who followed him also reacted, he immediately shouted: "Come here! Drag Wang Shiyong to the side and chop him! And Fan Qiong!"
The Imperial Guard was startled for a moment.
Zhao Ning suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword. In the cold weather, veins popped out on his forehead. He roared like an angry dragon: "What are you still doing? Cut it off!"
Jing Chao was so fast that he immediately pulled out the knife and clamped it on Fan Qiong's neck.
Fan Qiong immediately did not dare to move anymore.
Two guards from the side came up and pushed Fan Qiong's arms back, and Fan Qiong could not resist.
He shouted loudly: "Guan! You can't do this! This will destroy the country!"
Wang Shiyong was also taken into custody by the imperial guards.
The other ministers never expected that the emperor would dare to kill someone at the palace gate, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Zhao Ji did not expect it, but he was overjoyed. If Zhao Ning killed another person here today, other officials would no longer remain silent and would rise up to resist.
As expected, I can ascend the throne today.
Wang Shiyong shouted: "Officials! If you kill ministers again today, you will lose the hearts of the people!"
"Shut up! You are a servile person. As the official minister, you read the books of sages, but you don't think about the way to employ people. Before the crisis, you are greedy and unjust, and you dare to talk in front of me!"
