After Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, he looked at the civil and military officials with a livid face, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes made everyone shudder.
The head official of the palace did not ask everyone to present the memorial as usual. Many people had already prepared the memorial, but seeing that the usually elegant and peaceful emperor seemed to have changed, they did not dare to open their mouths to break the loneliness. They all stood there with low eyebrows.
.
Seeing that no one dared to come forward, Wang Fu, the Shaobao Prime Minister and his disciple, took the courage to go out and said: "I would like to report to your Majesty that Gao Qiu, the commanding officer in front of the front hall, led the troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits. Unfortunately, Gao Qiu was defeated.
Unfortunately, I also fell into the hands of thieves. Two days ago, the Yangshan bandits actually publicly killed Master Gao in Jeju. This was a heinous crime. I despised the dignity of the imperial court and begged the Holy One to send a large army to destroy the Yangshan bandits."
Under Zhao Ji's cold gaze, Wang Fu finished these words with difficulty, then lowered his head and waited for Zhao Ji's reply. However, after waiting for a while, he did not hear Zhao Ji's reply, so he could not help but quietly glance at Liang Shicheng, who had just been promoted to Taiwei, from the corner of his eye.
Liang Shicheng, the Taiwei, is different from Gao Qiu, the Taiwei. Gao Qiu's Taiwei is just because he is the chief of the Palace Commander's Mansion, so he habitually calls him Taiwei, while Liang Shicheng is a Taiwei named by the emperor, with an official rank of the second rank.
Although Wang Fu is now a first-rank official, he still serves Liang Shicheng like a father.
Liang Shicheng was not sure what Zhao Ji was thinking. After they received the news of Liangshan's public execution of Gao Qiu yesterday, they knew that the news could not be suppressed, so they could only report the truth to Zhao Ji.
When Zhao Ji heard the news, he was also furious. According to the young eunuch next to Zhao Ji, he smashed a lot of things, but he calmed down afterwards, but his face was ashen and he said nothing.
At the beginning, Liang Shicheng only thought that Zhao Ji was sad about Gao Qiu's death. You must know that Gao Qiu was not an ordinary favorite. He could be said to be Zhao Ji's childhood playmate. When Zhao Ji was still King Duan, Gao Qiu became his personal attendant.
Every
Accompanying Zhao Ji to play every day. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he slowly promoted Gao Qiu, until Gao Qiu was promoted to the second rank and took charge of the imperial army. It can be said that the safety of half of the Song Dynasty was handed over to Gao Qiu. This shows that Zhao Ji had high regard for Gao Qiu.
trust.
It is normal for Gao Qiu's death to make Zhao Ji furious for several days, and the Liangshan bandits will definitely be buried in Zhao Ji's anger.
Liang Shicheng originally thought that after Zhao Ji went to court, he would immediately issue an order to destroy the Liangshan bandits. However, Zhao Ji still remained silent after going to court. Liang Shicheng suddenly felt that Zhao Ji was not just angry because of Gao Ji's death.
Liang Shicheng hesitated again and again, but still whispered: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Master Gao served his country loyally and died a worthy death. Then he will send a large army to wipe out the Liangshan bandits to comfort Master Gao's spirit in heaven. Don't hurt the dragon body because of this."
Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng, his expression slightly relieved. These eunuchs were still loyal to him. It would be great if there were more servants in the palace who were as capable as Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan, so as not to be fooled by these courtiers.
Zhao Ji sighed in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Why have I heard all these years that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, but during this year, Fang La suddenly rebelled in the south of the Yangtze River, sweeping through several areas, and rebelling with more than a million thieves.
Chao Gai rebelled in Jingdong and easily defeated 100,000 imperial troops. There must be a lot of troops. I ask you, is it because there was a sudden natural disaster last year and the people couldn't survive, so can you follow them in rebellion?"
At this time, everyone knew the reason why Zhao Yan was angry.
Su Yuanjing and other Qingliu saw that the intelligent emperor from an early age finally woke up, and it was also a great joy. Now the power of the DPRK and Central DPRK is controlled by the adulterer.
Far away.
Su Yuanjing thought for a while, and played: "In these years, the court's decree has been repeated, the people have a heavy burden, and thieves from all over the country have continued.
Last year, the Dongping Mansion was robbed, Gao Tangzhou, and killed the prefectures of the two places. "
Zhao Yan looked coldly at this minister who thought he was different from Cai Jing and others before. In fact, he also glanced at the mirror in his heart.
If you look at the people's eyes, they are traitors.
However, in Zhao Yan's view, they are interested in their own interests, and they have a certain ability to do things. They can handle the politics and let them suppress the Qingliu, so as not to persuade him to clearly move.
Although Zhao Yan became the emperor, more hobbies are still in the enjoyment of painting and calligraphy. If the Qingliu is upper hand, then he can only accept their urging, diligently govern the government, how can there be time to enjoy.
Cai Jing and others also met his mind, blindly touched the peace of the world, and the people were happy, so that Zhao Yan could rest assured to enjoy it.
Of course, Zhao Yan did not fully trust Cai Jing and others, otherwise he would not remove Cai Jing three times. He just wanted to come to the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. The emperors in the previous generations diligently governed the government.
We must never live, so I want to enjoy it for a while.
In order to prevent Cai Jing and others from covering the sky in one hand, he also left Su Yuanjing and some clear streams, so that he could hear some different voices from time to time.
Zhao Yan looked at Su Yuanjing disappointed, and said: "Since you know so much, why did you play with it?"
Su Yuanjing also saw Zhao Yan's disappointment, and hurriedly said: "Weishen has played, and there are royal criticisms."
When Zhao Yan also remembered that when Gao Yan led the army, he asked about it, because he was negligible to the government, and he missed these memorials. Of course, what he did not know was that he personally approved it.
Give him some memorials, these memories are invisible anyway.
However, Zhao Yan would not think about his responsibility, but just a little bit, and then said, "Then do you know that the world's world has been crumbling?"
Yu Yuanjing heard the words, busy saying: "Before the chaos of Mani, the secret association was associated.
The embargo's combat power is so unbearable, and Fang La and Gai Gai have made trouble. If Wei Chen knows that the world is going to chaos, Weichen will persuade the emperor. "
Zhao Yan heard the words, and then the killing intention was slightly reduced.
If Su Yuanjing dared to say that he knew that the world was going to be chaotic, then he would blame Su Yuanjing why he would not die. In his opinion, Su Yuanjing was the loyal minister he left, and he should be loyal to him.
If he couldn't take a rush for him, the Su Yuanjing would be useless, Zhao Yan didn't mind taking him the operation.
Wang Yan also rushed to Zhao Yan's murderous intention. Although he had just been the prime minister for a few months, he could not escape, and he hurriedly played: "Wechen has made people catch some escape forbidden soldiers, according to them.
It is said that Liangshan thieves have only 20,000 people up and down, but the tall men have no troops, which leads to the defeat of the army.
At this time, Wang Fu just wanted Zhao Ji not to investigate the responsibility for the chaos in the world. Naturally, he wanted Zhao Ji to think that the world was not in chaos yet, so that he, the prime minister, could escape the responsibility of concealing the truth. Therefore, he could only pass the responsibility to Gao Qiu.
Zhao Ji thought it was because Gao Qiu was incompetent and could not wipe out even a small bandit, rather than that the world was really in chaos.
A group of treacherous officials understood Wang Fu's opinion and hurriedly came out to agree with Wang Fu.
Liang Shicheng also said at the side: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The world is generally stable, but there are some small thieves."
Su Yuanjing saw that the treacherous ministers started to coax Zhao Ji again. If they continued to coax him like this, the emperor would probably still indulge in pleasure. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have my own book."
Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu and others saw Su Yuanjing jumping out at this moment and couldn't help but give Su Yuanjing some sinister looks.
Zhao Ji's mood had just improved at this time, and he said: "If you have anything to do, just call me."
Su Yuanjing naturally knew the warning meant by Liang Shicheng and others, but for the sake of the world, he couldn't care less today. He gritted his teeth and said: "I heard that Tian Hu from Hedong and Wang Qing from Huaixi also rebelled a few days ago.
We have stolen several cities, and the imperial court has sent troops to exterminate them several times, but all failed, and now I am afraid it will cause a big trouble."
Zhao Ji's mood, which had just improved, suddenly dropped to freezing point again. His face turned from red to purple to black, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into reality.
Everyone was already so frightened by Su Yuanjing's words that they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhao Ji. However, they could hear Zhao Ji's heavy breathing on the dragon chair several feet away, and they were even more frightened and did not dare to look up.
"Thieves, they are all thieves. Are you going to rebel against them? How dare you hide such a big thing from me. Come here, behead all the civil and military officials for public display."
When the Banzhi soldiers who were specially guarding the emperor outside the palace heard Zhao Ji's shouts, they all rushed in and surrounded the civil and military officials, but no one dared to take action.
Seeing how angry Zhao Ji was, Wang Fu and others hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
Zhao Ji saw that Ban Zhi did not take action and shouted: "Are you also going to rebel? Haven't you heard my order?"
The Banzhi soldiers were the Emperor's personal guards, subordinate to the Palace Front Division, and were under Gao Qiu's command, but their loyalty to the Emperor was unquestionable.
Seeing that Zhao Ji seemed determined, he no longer hesitated and drove all the civil and military officials away.
Everyone knew that if they went out, they might really be beheaded, so they immediately lost face and begged for mercy in tears.
Only Liang Shicheng kowtowed to Zhao Ji three times and said: "The old slave is gone, please take care of the dragon body." Then he walked out without hesitation.
When Zhao Ji saw this, he frowned, called out to Liang Shicheng, and said, "You have nothing to say to me anymore?"
Liang Shicheng burst into tears and choked up and said: "The old slave was so favored by the emperor that he was promoted to the second rank as a eunuch. He should have been so cruel to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the old slave was stupid. He thought these bandits were nothing more than clowns.
, the emperor regained the sixteen states of Yanyun, fulfilled the last wishes of Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and wiped out the bandits before it was too late. He did not want to make the emperor so angry, and the old slave had no face to deal with the emperor. He only wanted to die to prove the old slave.
loyalty."
After saying that, he walked out again. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
