Chapter 644 The anger of the whole country and the final outcome of Zhao Ji (9)
Gubeikou.
Niu Gao, the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army, had a solemn look on his face. He stood on the Guancheng Tower and looked far away in the direction of Bei'an Prefecture.
At this time, in the direction of Bei'an Prefecture, yellow sand could be seen all over the sky, and flags were fluttering. It was obvious that the Jin army was moving.
It was like this for several days.
The detective horse sent by Niu Gao came back and reported that the Jin people had mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the country and were heading towards Bei'an Prefecture. This made Niu Gao realize that something was seriously wrong. Although on the surface, the two countries had just signed an alliance and a peace agreement.
, the Kingdom of Jin supposedly had no reason to take the initiative to attack Dayan, but thinking of the wolfish ambition and aggressive nature of the Jin people, Niu Gao and other generals did not dare to be careless in their hearts.
At this time, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and there was a single rider riding through the gate.
Yanjing.
When the emperor returned to the palace, outside the imperial study room, the four daughters Zhao Fujin, Chongde, Zhao Huanhuan and Zhao Yupan who had returned halfway were already waiting at the door.
The pretty faces of the four women were heavy and slightly pale.
When they saw the emperor striding through the palace and coming directly from the direction of Qianfu Palace, they almost simultaneously fell to the ground with tears streaming down their faces.
Although it is not clear to the public that Zhao Ji was coerced into rebelling by the Zhao clan, it is no secret to people like Zhao Fujin in the palace.
Although the rebellion of the Zhao family shocked them, the feeling was not that strong, but once their biological father Zhao Ji was involved, one can imagine the huge waves in their hearts.
Since ancient times, rebellion has been a major crime to destroy the nine clans. Moreover, it was the imperial family of the former Song Dynasty who rebelled. This is a very forbidden thing. In the eyes of the girls, the emperor might be furious and might kill all the Zhao clan.
...and Zhao Ji is their biological father after all, so how can they remain indifferent?
So, they knew they shouldn't beg for mercy, but they came anyway.
Wang Lin quickly walked closer, looked around the four girls, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, he secretly thought that he was lucky.
If Zhao Ji really died in this turmoil and rebellion, he really didn't know how to face Zhao Fujin's four daughters.
Therefore, Shi Yucheng, who was behind the rebellion, really deserves to die!
Wang Lin clenched his teeth and became angry.
However, Zhao Fujin was obviously mistaken. He raised his head and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, I know that I shouldn't come, but for the sake of my biological father, human ethics, and filial piety, I have to come. Please be kind to your Majesty and leave my father alone."
Survive!"
Wang Lin sighed and helped Zhao Fujin up, and then helped the other three women one by one. He waved his hand and said, "Go to the Imperial Study Room to talk."
Wang Lin and the four daughters entered the imperial study. Kong Lin, who was walking in the imperial study, took the female officer Shangguan Qing and left alone, leaving space for the emperor and the four daughters to communicate alone.
Rumors have spread in the palace for the past two days that Zhao Ji led the Zhao royal family to rebel, and Emperor Long Yan was furious and wanted to kill all the Zhao clan in one fell swoop.
Wang Lin looked around at the four Zhao Fujin girls who looked miserable, nodded slowly and said: "You don't have to worry, the Emperor of Song Dynasty is safe and sound. I have ordered the Jinyi Guards to send him to Yanjing. It is estimated that it will arrive in the next two days. By then,
I will arrange for you to meet."
Chong Deyou said: "Your Majesty, I know that the Zhao family has failed your Majesty, especially my father..."
Wang Lin waved his hand and stopped Chongde's unfinished words: "Okay, you don't have to say anything. I know what you are going to say, I understand you, and I can give you a reassurance here - for you, I will always
It is impossible to attack Emperor Song, even if Emperor Song commits treason.
But how should we deal with him? Because this case is related to the state, I cannot specialize in it and must leave it to the imperial court."
Zhao Yupan was overjoyed, his face turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is what your Majesty said true?"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "When have I told lies? But except for the Emperor of Song Dynasty, anyone from the Zhao family who participates in treason will be punished according to the canon and the law of the country. Otherwise, people all over the world will imitate him. I am doing this
The Yanjiang Mountains are not stable either."
Zhao Fujin burst into tears, and Yingying fell to the ground and cried: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"
Chongde and Roufu also cried and worshiped on the ground.
Wang Lin sighed and stood up again to help the four girls, but something strange arose in his heart. How could Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, be absent from such a matter? He actually didn't come to plead with him for Zhao Ji?
…………
Political Hall.
The emperor asked a difficult question and then left.
The hot potato was handed over to the five cabinet ministers of the Political Affairs Hall.
Li Gang has been maintaining a strange silence. He is actually quite uneasy. His daughter-in-law Shi Xiaohui's natal family is involved in the case, and his brother Shi Yu has become the mastermind behind the case. No matter what, he must avoid suspicion.
Wu Min pondered for a long time and said worriedly: "Everyone, I don't know what the Sacred Heart is like. If His Majesty has murderous intentions towards Emperor Song and the Zhao family, no matter how much we discuss, it will be useless..."
Among the five veterans of the cabinet, Zongze had the least affection for the former Song Dynasty and the former Song emperor Zhao Ji. He sneered and said: "Shouldn't the rebels be killed? If people all over the world follow suit, the government and the public will not be stable in the future.
That’s it.”
Guo Zhishun frowned: "Having said that, after all, Emperor Song is different from the rest of the Zhao clan. He is your Majesty's father-in-law. There are four royal highnesses, Maode, Jiade, Chongde and Roufu. How can your Majesty kill his biological father?
"
"State affairs are more important than family affairs. Besides, the Zhao clan is ready to move. If we leave it alone, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later. It is better to have long-term pain than short-term pain and avoid future troubles forever." Zongze said coldly.
Huang Qishan interjected: "In my opinion, if His Majesty had the intention to kill, he would not come to seek our opinions, let alone transfer the Zhao family's rebellion case to the imperial court and the Three Laws Division for treatment. Your Majesty is the most sincere and sincere, I
Judging, he will definitely not kill Emperor Song. However, in order to stabilize the country for Dayan, Emperor Song can be exempted from death penalty, but he will not be able to do what he used to in the future..."
Guo Zhishun waved his hand decisively and said: "Why don't we follow the example of the ancients and hand over the Song Emperor and others to the Three Laws Division for trial, and then behead them with their beards and hair as punishment for their crimes. Then, order them to wear a hat and become a monk, Yan."
There is a Qingyun Temple in the north of the capital, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty always worshiped Taoism and practiced Taoism to spend his old age."
Huang Qishan immediately agreed and said: "Great goodness, I second my opinion!"
Huang Qishan and Guo Zhishun looked at Zongze together.
Zongze said angrily: "If Emperor Song can be pardoned by your majesty, the rest of the Zhao family must not be lenient. Otherwise, our Yan court will never have peace."
Huang Qishan and Guo Zhishun nodded repeatedly. They advocated forgiving Zhao Ji because they were once ministers of the Song Dynasty and had indescribable feelings for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, considering the current situation of the emperor's harem and weighing the pros and cons,
Song Emperor Zhao Ji would be more popular among the people if he did not kill him than if he killed him, and he would not cause trouble to the emperor.
But the rest of the Zhao clan didn't have any compassion at all.
Li Gang's mouth twitched, but he remained silent.
Guo Zhishun glanced at him and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, Prime Minister Li. The daughter of the Shi family was not involved in the case, and His Majesty has personally pardoned her crime. However, now that her mother has committed suicide and her brother is on the run, Prime Minister Li should return home as soon as possible to comfort his family."
Good, so as not to cause trouble."
Li Gang let out a long sigh, bowed his hands to Huang Qishan, Zongze, Guo Zhishun, and Wu Min, and turned around and walked away lonely.
