Chapter 919
After taking Chai Zongfan, Zhang Dun kept escorting the Chai family out of the city and rushed to Xuzhou to give it to Wang Ning'an without even wasting any time.
When riding on the horse, Zhang Dun was very proud, "See, you can take the general's head in the army of ten thousand horses, like taking objects. This is our ability! It's enough for you to learn for the rest of your life!"
Yan Jidao's mouth twitched, "Brother Zihou, you snatched someone's iron coupon from the elixir book and captured the person again. If this is a troublemaker in the court, you will still ignore it!"
Zhang Dun's strange eyes rolled and said angrily: "Brother Xiaoshan, you are wrong. First, I didn't rob it, but I just wanted to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to compare the true and false to prevent them from deceive the court. As for the second, I didn't arrest anyone, I just invited them to come!"
"Is there any difference?" Yan Jidao smiled helplessly.
"The difference is that this is civilized! As you said, that's a bandit! Do you understand?"
Yan Jidao almost fell down. I think he was shameless and slutty!
After experiencing the fact that he was framed, Yan Jidao finally got to know him. Perhaps he was not shameless enough to be so miserable! Could it be that he really had to learn from Zhang Dun in order to look down on his head and live a real man?
Yan Jidao was struggling...
After touching the Chai family, the movement was indeed quite serious. Without even saying anything to the court, someone spread the news into the capital.
The capital, which was already undercurrent, was even more shocked at this moment!
Even after a hundred years of establishment, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty knew that Zhao Da usurped the throne and won the country incorrectly, which made the Zhao emperor very confused. On the one hand, he was worried that the Chai family would make a comeback, so he secretly killed all Chai Rong's sons, and refused to keep even a direct descendant.
On the other hand, the Zhao family released rumors to the outside world, saying that they were so good to the Chai family, giving them glory and wealth, and also gave them iron vouchers for alchemy books. Except for rebellion, no crime would be punished by the people of the Chai family.
What a great favor!
Gradually, the monarch and ministers also accepted this statement in self-hypnosis, as if the Chai family did not exist at all... Wang Ning'an's actions violently led everyone out of his dreams, forcing everyone to face reality. It seems that things are not that simple!
The just-in-commissioned investigation of the Ministry of Personnel made the capital uneasy. Now there is another incident with the Chai family, and the temperature in the officialdom instantly reaches a boiling point.
After a brief silence, someone immediately wrote a letter asking for the release of Zheng State Duke Chai Zongfan, and some people were actively running to contact all parties to save the Duke of the country. Wang Ning'an was ruthless and ruthless. As everyone knows, Yan Shenggong was destroyed by him, and the Chai family must not be allowed to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, they demanded that even if the Chai family had a case, they would hand it over to Dali Temple. Wang Ning'an could not set up a private hall, so as not to make people think that the court was unkind and unrighteous and harm the Chai family!
Faced with the boiling situation, Sima Guang wanted to laugh three times!
He just made a mistake and didn't know how to face his master, a god-given opportunity appeared. You dare to plead for the Chai family. Humph, then wait for death!
After Sima Guang was brewing, he immediately summoned Su Shi, Wang Shao, Zeng Bu, Zeng Gong and others!
"Listen, the opportunity to take revenge has finally come! We must act immediately now to let them know how powerful Liuyi is!"
Su Shi's eyes shone, "Brother Junshi, tell me, what should I do?"
"First of all, we must create public opinion among the people and tell everyone that I treated the Chai family well and gave them a hundred years of glory and wealth. However, they did not want to repay their kindness, but they harmed the people, ignored the national laws and committed arbitrarily... The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Even if the Chai family is noble, can they still defeat the royal family?"
Obviously, Sima Guang's statement is a bit distorted, but as an official of the Song Dynasty, who dares to say everywhere that the Zhao family treats the Chai family well is a lie. They killed Chai Rong's children. If they dare to do this, it would be better to find a knife to wipe their necks!
Su Shi nodded immediately. Public opinion war is the strength of the Six Arts. The previous inspection by the Ministry of Personnel was because it was missed the opportunity and was difficult to perform. This time it was different. They had to show all their abilities and completely kill the group that supported the Chai family!
When public opinion is created, someone will follow up. The brothers Zeng Bu and Zeng Gong are responsible for mobilizing censors, writing letters to the court, and fighting against officials who support the Chai family, making things worse and bigger.
In this way, Zhao Shu had to come forward to deal with it... Sima Guang arranged troops, and the main force of the vanguard were arranged properly, and a counterattack began.
In the past few decades, the Chai family has been doing more and more business, making a fortune, and there are more and more public grievances. It turns out that because of the iron coupons of alchemy books and iron certificates, no one dares to touch them, and even if there is a case, they are suppressed.
At this moment, all of them were turned out.
Among the people, some people also sing operas, stories, and newspapers also revealed that they specifically talk about the luxurious life of the Chai family, saying that they used gold washbasins and jade toilets to eat chickens and only had a chicken tongue. The thrown chickens piled up like hills.
They also annexed land, robbed men and women, used women as sedan chairmen, and were arrogant and domineering in and out.
Especially bribing corrupt officials and framing loyal ministers.
What a good guy, even Yan Jidao has been washed away and has become a poor person who is innocent and victimized.
The public opinion war has always been true and false, false, and true. But overall, the Chai family and the Kong family are similar to the local tyrants. One relies on the saint Kong and the other rely on the iron certificate of alchemy. What they do is not restrained and their descendants act recklessly. When the Chai family is involved in the case, it seems even worse and untolerable.
The common people are all jealous of evil, and the Kong family has been exiled. What's the Chai family?
...
This is true among the people, but the situation in the officialdom is unclear. Because Sun Gu, the Minister of Rites, opposed the investigation of the Chai family. They also took out the iron vouchers of the other half of the alchemy book treasured by the Ministry of Rites, and also announced the decree of Uncle Zhao.
The decree is clearly written. Even if you plot against rebellion, you can only be sentenced to death in prison, and the other charges will not be corrected... Your Majesty is pure filial piety, and everyone in the world knows, how could it violate the will of the late emperor?
The matter was in the harem, and Empress Dowager Cao called Zhao Shu over again.
"Emperor, do you know why Emperor Taizu treated the Chai family well? My Song Dynasty established the country with kindness and lenientness. This was to accumulate welfare for the descendants. If, if there really was one day, the descendants of the Zhao family could still survive and reproduce... If it was just killing and using force, I really don't know when it would be... "
Empress Dowager Cao talked a lot about it, but Zhao Shu was just timid.
But when he came out of his mother, he became more and more dissatisfied with it.
When Taizu was the Emperor, it was a chaotic world where wars and wars broke out everywhere and would usurp the throne at any time. Treating the Chai family well at that time could indeed soothe people's hearts and show kindness, but that's all.
Now that the Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, who still remembers the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? Who else would let the descendants of the Zhao family go because the Zhao family is kind to the Chai family?
It's simply impossible!
On the contrary, if the Song Dynasty was not managed well, the world would be in chaos and wars would rise everywhere. When the day he entered the capital, he might even be able to save his life, and even the tombs of his ancestors would be dug up!
Zhao Shu really couldn't figure it out. When fighting for power and suppressing powerful ministers, his mother seemed extremely smart, but when encountering national affairs and dynasties changed, he became like an ordinary village woman. It was so naive.
The pattern and vision are far worse than that of the master, and even Wang Rong and others are not as good as that of Wang Rong!
After thinking about it, Zhao Shu immediately issued an order to convene a meeting of the imperial front.
All of them, including Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Sun Gu, Jia Zhang, and several important officials, came.
Zhao Shu first looked at Lu Gong, "Lu Qing, you said that within 10 days, you will hand over the re-planned evaluation list. Now that the time is up, are you ready?"
Lu Gong's face was pale, his heart was beating!
It seems like something bad!
In desperation, he spoke big talk in order to save those people. Now that Wang Ning'an has taken down the Chai family, it is clear that he wants to make the case bigger. If someone is involved in the list, he will be blindly ignorant twice. Not to mention the emperor, even if he has no shame to keep it.
But if you say that you have not planned it well, the crime of deceiving the king is right in front of you!
Mr. Lu had no choice but to go: "The old minister has already planned it, but the grace of deposing is all from the emperor. Please ask Your Majesty to make a judgment!"
He was also obedient. This is equivalent to saying that I have handed over the list. If I don’t like it, I will have no objection to any change. The old fried dough sticks who can get into the top management really don’t have a single bucket.
Zhao Shu didn't care about Lu Gongzi's words at all. He swept the list, and about 50 points, and the Six Arts Series still lost a lot... Zhao Shu sneered secretly, Lu Gongzi's intention of harming others remained unchanged!
The little emperor calmly put the list aside.
"The Ministry of Personnel's inspection, and I will talk about the Chai family's case when it is over. Please discuss the Chai family's case!"
Hearing this, Lu Gongzhi was so bloody that he was afraid of. The little emperor wanted to take the list as a handle. How big is the matter of the Chai family? Lu Gongzhi was probably a bit of a mystery. If it was really opened, I was afraid that the officialdom in the Huaihe River and the Southeast will be quake!
At this point, Mr. Lu had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, after all, the Chai family has an iron coupon of alchemy books and gifts from the late emperor. The old minister thought that even if he didn't care about the Chai family, he had to take into account the wisdom of the late emperor... Can he deal with it at his discretion?"
After he finished speaking, Sun Gu immediately stood up, "What Lord Lu said is that King Xiliang captured Duke Zheng for no reason, which made people panic. I think he should be released immediately and calm down!"
When they spoke, Sima Guang immediately stood up, "Two sirs, you said that you arrested the Chai family and made people feel uneasy. Whose heart is this person's heart?"
Sun Gu frowned, "Sima Xianggong, naturally refers to the hearts of the people!"
"Is that so? Why do I feel that it is the uneasiness of the officialdom? Some people have gotten into trouble with the Chai family!" Sima Guang said sternly: "The Chai family is a descendant of the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty. You are officials of the Song Dynasty. They eat the salary of the Song Dynasty and enjoy the grace of the Song Dynasty, but they speak for the Chai family everywhere. What are you in the heart and heart? Do you dare to take it out and shed? Can you see someone?" Sima Guang's voice echoed in the hall, and a lot of resentment seemed to be vented...
