There was solemn silence in the Chui Gong Hall, and only Liang Congzheng's clear and penetrating voice could be heard.
King Zhao Yi of Shen, King Zhao Ji of Suining, King Jian Zhao Si, King Mu Zhao Si, King Zhao Xiaocan of Yuzhang County, King Zhao Xiaoqian of Jinkang County and other clans lowered their heads and listened to Liang Congzheng's announcement.
"...Twelve younger brothers, violent and cruel, murderous and unscrupulous... In order to uphold the laws of the country, I have paid homage to the Ancestral Temple, offered sacrifices to my ancestors, issued a jade certificate to remove the name from the Ancestral Temple, demoted him to a commoner, and expelled him from Fangzhou.
The resettlement shall be handed over to the local authority for strict control. If there is any mercy, it will not be pardoned..."
Every word was like a gleaming sharp knife, flying past everyone's ears and faces.
Many people's backs were sweating.
I wanted to raise my head to see the official sitting on the top, but I didn't dare. I had to keep my head down and secretly figure it out in my heart.
Everyone standing in the hall, whether they knew it or not, knew that Zhao Yu's affairs had become serious this time, and he would never be able to turn around again, and would never get the chance to inherit the throne.
Zhao Yu, who had officially become a commoner, was trembling as he was dragged out of the Chui Gong Hall by Ban Zhizhi. He and his family members would be immediately escorted to Fangzhou by the Imperial Army.
Fangzhou got its name from the fact that it is "thousands of miles across, surrounded by mountains and forests, with high mountains and mausoleums, as if there were houses." From the early Tang Dynasty to the present dynasty, it was not a good place.
In this dynasty alone, those who died there include the former emperor Chai Zongxun, the fourth brother of Emperor Taizu, Prince Zhao Tingmei of Fu, and others.
Now we have to add another Zhao Yu.
Liang Congzheng looked around at the people in the palace, picked up another edict from the silver plate held by the young chamberlain, and read it aloud.
"Yu Bi. Drinking to drink the honors, the motto of the Spring and Autumn Period. Praise for virtue and reward for merit, the Yi code of the country. Taiwei, Henghai, Zhenhai, Zhenhai, Jiedu, General Zuo Yiwei, secretary of the province, and merit envoy.
With the signature of the Privy Council, Jian Wanghuang is the thirteenth brother. He has long been known to be benevolent and loyal. Shen Yi has a plan and is decisive and decisive. Most of them are laborers, and Gu Wei favors them. He can be added to the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong and the military festival.
Envoy, Yuhou, the governor in front of the palace, also knows the affairs of the Privy Council. In May of the second year of Yuanfu, the edict was issued."
After hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Yesterday, I knew that Lin Xi, the minister of the Privy Council, and Lai Shao, the minister of punishment, had been demoted and expelled to Yizhou, Liangguang Road, where the epidemic was rampant.
Everyone knows that these two were severely punished as associates of the twelfth-year-old Zhaomata.
Now Lin Xi's post of Tongzhi Privy Councilor, together with Zhao Yu's post of Xiongwu Army Jiedushi, have been given to Zhao Shisan. This has far-reaching implications.
"My brother, thank you." Zhao Si stepped forward and thanked Tian'en. Then he raised his head resolutely and said, "My brother, I have one more chapter to start."
"explain."
"Yesterday was Huang Kao's birthday. After the official family took my younger brother and others to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices, my younger brother returned to the mansion, and the whole family worshiped again in the former residence of the late emperor. It was night, and my younger brother read my father's precious instructions.
, thinking that "it is a time of sorrow and famine, and it is difficult to take care of the load. I think to myself, there is nothing that can be done...it still depends on the left and right wings, internal and external cultivation, loyalty and virtuous consideration, in order to consolidate the grand plan."
'When I burst into tears."
When the officials heard this, they were also sad.
Zhao Sigeng swallowed and continued: "My father was kind and virtuous, and the world was convinced. He once left a message, 'Guard the palace and follow the rush, and make the same mission to Xianning.' Under his rule, the ministers, regardless of the old party or the new party, were all ministers and herdsmen who guarded the land.
Therefore, my brother weeps and asks the official to ask Shao's father, Emperor Yongfu, to pardon Su Che, Fan Chunli, Han Zhongyan, Su Shi and other ten demoted officials, and relocate them to the capital nearby, so that they can make full use of their talents..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhao Shisan is going crazy.
I have just made a great contribution and been praised by officials, and I don't know how high the sky is.
How dare you make such remarks?
Pardoning and recalling the officials of the old party who were demoted during the Shaosheng years, isn't this a counterattack?
The Chui Gong Hall was silent.
Some people are frightened, and some people are gloating about the misfortune.
Zhao Shisan, you also get confused sometimes. Wait and see how the officials deal with you!
"Accurate!" The official's words shocked everyone even more.
What's going on? Has the situation changed?
"...Build a Hongwen Hall in Xijing and a Chongwen Hall in Nanjing, recall the ministers, confer bachelor's degrees, and directly hold the position of bachelor, and provide support to them. Pick up the remnants and collect hidden virtues. As soon as Pinzhang was established, Zhaizu was restored.
View..."
So that’s it! But it’s not normal!
How many people had written before, asking the officials to pardon those old party ministers, but they were either ignored or severely punished. How come Zhao Shisan listened to them without saying a word?
Official, you are too partial!
Zhao Si saw the expressions on everyone's faces and smiled coldly in his heart.
One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
For this advice, I have laid the groundwork, put in so much thought, and spent so many means, and then I took advantage of today's atmosphere and followed the late emperor's motto of "strengthening the left and right, cultivating internally and externally, and being loyal and virtuous."
The flag was given to determine this matter.
Do you think it's easy for me?
After the official business was over, the official glanced at the royal brothers and clan, waved his hand, "Let's disperse."
"Congratulations to Thirteenth Brother," King Shen Zhao Bai came forward first and complimented him.
"I have long said that Brother Thirteen is the most promising among our brothers. Now that you hold an important position, you must work more diligently to share the worries of the officials."
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother, I will do my best!" Zhao Si replied respectfully.
Zhao Xiaocan, the king of Yuzhang County, Zhao Xiaoqian, the king of Jinkang County, and others also came forward one by one and surrounded Zhao Si with good words.
Zhao Ji stood aside and hesitated.
I wanted to come up and say a few compliments, but I couldn't save my dignity.
I wanted to walk away like Wang Mu and Zhao Si, but I felt it was inappropriate.
After walking around for a few times, Zhao Si had already said hello to everyone and walked out.
"Brother Eleven." Zhao Si took the initiative to say hello.
"Brother Thirteen, do your job well." Zhao Ji said subconsciously.
Zhao Si smiled and said, "Thirteen knows, I will leave first."
After leaving Donghua Gate and meeting up with the escort led by Ming Zhaoxia and Wang Zhen, Zhao Si got on his horse and returned to the palace under the protection of everyone.
Since being ambushed by the traitors of the Xixia Xiandao Hall, burning the Beiji Temple, and massacring the Kaifeng branch of the Liao Guanyin Hall, Zhao Si is now very cautious about coming in and out.
"The founder of a business fails in the middle." Such a tragedy must not happen.
As soon as I turned onto Ma Xing Street, there was a sudden cry of injustice in front of me.
What does it mean?
Among the new official positions that the imperial brother gave me just now, there are no bachelors of Longtuge and errands of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Your Highness, two families are complaining on the street, saying that their respective children are missing for no reason. They have reported the case everywhere, but their whereabouts have not been found."
Xue Fanzi went to the front for a few words and came back to report.
"Your Highness, they said that their children, who were lost in Jianlongguan and Shangfang Temple respectively, are inseparable from these two places. However, there are some connections to the prisons and prisons in these two places, and the people in Kaifeng Prefecture are not
If you dare to provoke me, you won’t be careful when handling the case. That’s why I found you, Your Highness.”
Jianlongguan and Shangfang Temple?
"What are you looking for me for?"
"Your Highness, the news that you burned down the North Bei Temple to avenge Brother Xu Sangui has gone viral in the market. The soldiers and civilians don't say that you are benevolent and righteous! And aren't you also on the job of a merit envoy?"
Zhao Si shook his head, "Oh, I am tired of being famous. Forget it, Fanzi, take these two families to Mr. Ji Zhong, first ask him to inquire about the case in detail and investigate it carefully. If you have any questions, call him
Just look for me."
"yes!"
As soon as Zhao Si sat down, Princess Zeng and the whole family came to congratulate him.
"I congratulate Your Highness on your promotion to an official position and your great achievements."
"Haha, thank you Madam for your kind words."
In the courtyard, servants, maids, old ladies, maids, companions, cooks, rough servants, etc. all knelt on the ground, and under the leadership of Li Fang and Yu Huatian, they congratulated in unison.
"Congratulations to the great king on your great achievements. May you be a prince for eternity. May you have long hair and great achievements."
"Haha, okay, okay! Huatian, help Mr. Li get up quickly. You all get up too. You will all be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Zhen, Gao Shixuan, Hu Luxiong, Cen Meng, and Xue Fanzi came forward with the palace guards to congratulate him.
The palace of Prince Jian was filled with joy and joy.
At this time, someone sent an invitation.
"What do you mean? I'm invited to attend a meeting at Duolexuan in Jinmingchi tomorrow. My uncle and others are going to be Gong Fan and Gong Lu's banquet to welcome the wind?"
Zhao Si looked at the post in his hand and said in surprise.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this banquet will not be a good one." Madam Zeng said from the side.
Zhao Si was silent for a while, then chuckled.
"I am not a hospitable guest. If you want to see how ugly I am, I will make them all become the bastards in Jinmingchi."
Madam Zeng and Ming Zhaoxia on the other side couldn't help but giggle.
