Chapter 209 The situation has stopped

It's still dawn.

Before he arrived in the court, Zhao Ji was forced to be pulled up by Cai Jing and Emperor Taizu's instructor, and he arrived in the court early.

The emperor was shocked to hear the officials impeach Xiao Gao and attack Taoism and soldiers surrounded the Taoist temple in Bianjing.

The officials are very superstitious and value Taoist priests. They entrusted Zhang Jixian to pray for blessings in order to make peace and prosperity in the country. Now they have not fulfilled their wishes, but they just heard that Xiao Gao had caused a big disaster.

The emperor became furious for a moment, but he didn't wait to scold Xiao Gao for making trouble. Zhang Shuye went to the hall with the letter of Wanmin. Although he did not ask for a name to attack all Taoist priests, he impeached the royal Taoist priest Zhang Huaisu, who was personally given the title of "Mr. Miaoling" by the emperor.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you causing trouble? Do everything one by one? Don't bewitch the holy heart and disturb Your Majesty's thinking!"

Zhang Kangguo left the line and scolded him angrily. His eyes turned dark. It was because he was beaten by Zhang Shuye and Tao Jiefu last night.

When Gao Qiu saw Zhang Shuye coming to the palace and holding the letter of the people in his hand, he knew that the battle had been won. He looked "loyal" and said passionately: "Your Majesty, Zhang Kangguo is a treacherous minister, who is brave and reckless. He disregards the suffering of the people. Without His Majesty's approval, he has transferred troops to Bianjing several times. His heart is punishable. My son Xiao Gao, almost caught and killed by his army! If I had not forced all the officers in the front office of the palace to take a holiday beforehand, it would be hard to say that the Japanese Tianwu Army would have been used by this old man."

"Ah!" Zhao Ji was very unhappy when he heard this and said loudly: "Even if there is something wrong with Xiao Gao, the young and frivolous scholars are inevitably angry. It is indeed hateful to attack Taoist priests and ruin my Feng Shui, but it is understandable. That is also for me. Zhang Kangguo, how dare you send troops to bully officials who are appointed by the ministers?"

In order not to let the emperor read Wanmin's books, a group of officials started quarreling again, talking nonsense and saying everything.

The impeachment letters of Zhang Kegong, the chief censor, were originally taken out, but he was not confused. He knew that although his brother Zhang Shuye was very resentful and had a bad view, he was definitely not a treacherous minister or a person who just joked about the Book of Wanmin.

Since the books of all people are in the palace, there must be hidden information and the people will be wronged, so Zhang Kegong roared in his greatest voice: "Silent everyone!"

He also said: "Your Majesty, the people's opinions are beyond words for the present plan. Everything else is a blatant one. The country is based on the people. Since there are books of all people in the palace, your Majesty also needs to ask about it personally."

"Oh, what Zhang Qing said." Zhao Ji then remembered Wanmin Book and began to read it.

At some point, the emperor's eyes turned red and he cried, "Has my people really been murdered like this?"

Zhang Shuye said with a dark face: "It's unbearable. Now there are 130,000 victims who have been knelt at Donghua Gate and ask Your Majesty to uphold justice. The old minister thought that although the young master was too aggressive, he was devoted to his work for Your Majesty. After learning that Your Majesty's people were bullied, he was young and energetic and violent. This is understandable."

"130,000..." Zhao Ji jumped up again and said worriedly: "Damn... They are so cool, just forcing me to do so. Will there be chaos?"

"Uh." Zhang Shuye said awkwardly: "It has affected the hygiene of the streets and made the ground full of garbage, shit and urine. However, they are all good people, so the old ministers are here to protect this. In principle, those who are willing to kneel down and ask Your Majesty to uphold justice are unwilling to go up the mountain to cause trouble. The old ministers saw them holding slogans 'The Great Emperor's wise and magical martial'. They thought you were blinded by some demons, and as long as you know the real situation, they would definitely protect them. They also asked the old ministers to thank Your Majesty for giving them charcoal and fire."

"Oh." When Zhao Ji heard that the people were in a stable mood, they did not curse the foolish monarch or cause chaos, they became happy again and were a little proud.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "As long as they are filial, I still remember that I gave them charcoal and fire expenses, it's worth it."

Zhang Shuye said: "However, they have resentment. You know, the child is bullied and always wants his father to come forward."

Zhao Ji said in surprise: "Does their father have any explanation?"

Zhang Shuye said awkwardly: "Your Majesty is wise, they said that their father is you."

Zhao Ji was fooled by Gao Fangping's plan and felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility, so he said unhappily: "Zhang Huaisu is hateful and hateful. Although he is elegant and has some magical power, he does not do good deeds, so he will not allow him to bully my people. He will pass on my will and take away Mr. Miaoling's title. Kaifeng Prefecture will examine Zhang Huaisu's crimes."

"The old minister will definitely not accuse others of justice and will return the people to justice."

After Zhang Shuye finished speaking what he wanted to say, he stepped back. The others were no longer important, just let them make noise.

Zhang Shuye’s purpose is a bit different from Gao Fangping. Zhang Shuye was too lazy to care about what Xiao Gao was going to do. Zhang Shuye just held a grudge against Zhang Jixian and went to Beijing to blackmail the incense expenses of the Ministry of Revenue. Old Zhang couldn’t rub the sand in his eyes and vowed to kill the Taoist priest. However, the freezing of three feet is not a day, and the power of Taoism is not formed in one day. The first step is to attack Zhang Huaisu, the famous Mr. Miaoling, who is famous in the capital. Not only did he get rid of a demon that harmed the capital, but he also reminded the emperor of the harm of the Taoist priests.

This is called listing first. If you open this listing first, then the arrogant arrogance of the Taoist sect will be restrained. If the operation is good later, the Taoist sect will withdraw from the political stage of the Song Dynasty and earn money honestly, it may become possible.

There is no wrongful accusation of Zhang Huaisu. Gao Fangping issued a military order to deal with the Zhang Huaisu incident as an ironclad case. Even if it has nothing to do with the death of Zhao Tingzhi Prime Minister, the crime of harming hundreds of emperors and people is enough to kill Zhang Huaisu more than a hundred times. It is just that this case is difficult in normal times, but after the cruel official Gao Fangping led Yongle army to the capital and launched a thunderous political storm, Zhang Huaisu will sooner or later be a dead person.

If you dare to make trouble, you must be cannon fodder. Although Zhang Huaisu was a political victim this time, Lao Zhang felt that this thief was in the hands of the cruel official Bao Zheng, without any political reasons, and was also a death sentence for the death penalty. He was resentful...

The fate of Zhang Kangguo was decided by a group of vulgar scholars and officials in Cai Jing's mansion last night. Something was decided by the transfer of troops into the city. In general, Zhang Kangguo was afraid of being a coward, but he had no choice but to implicate the Zhang Huaisu incident. Perhaps the Prime Minister Zhang Kangguo had some major privacy in the hands of the demon, so Zhang Kangguo became confused. But from here on, Lao Zhang's political life was completely over.

Even if there is no other trick, Zhang Kangguo would be pushed down. Moreover, after the Wanminshu incident, it was revealed that Zhang Kangguo sent troops to surround the Gao Mansion, trying to prevent Gao Fangping, the emperor's appointed case, and what he could not tolerate was that he sent the Long Guard Army into the city, which almost caused a mutiny in the capital at Donghuamen.

This matter is irreversible. The entire court, led by Cai Jing, changed its direction and angrily accused Zhang Kangguo of bullying the emperor.

Zhang Kegong was a real troll. He heard that he abused the power of the prime minister to transfer the army with insufficient reasons. Zhang Kegong impeached Zhang Kangguo for treason and even threatened not to kill Zhang Kangguo, so he hit him and died in the court.

This made the emperor jump up. Damn Zhao Ji was most afraid of blood. Once the censor was killed in the court, he would definitely be on the list of the tyrant kings of the Song Dynasty and be stabbed by his ancestors. So Zhao Ji said he was going to make soy sauce, and he ran away in a fright.

The emperor's actions surprised the whole court.

Then, Liang Shicheng issued an imperial edict and angrily rebuked in the tone of the emperor: "Zhang Kangguo dismissed the Privy Council and retired. Zhang Kegong was inappropriate. The elder brother was his father. Zhang Kegong was arrogant and forced to the palace. Zhang Shuye was the passing of Zhang Shuye. Zhang Shuye indulged the demons and harmed the people, indulged his brother Zhang Kegong to threaten me, and indulged Gao Fangping in implicated Guoguang. Zhuangzhuang could not refuse the blame, causing bad influence, deprived him of his position of "Power and Author Kaifeng Prefecture" and his position as a left-behind position in Tokyo."

Zhang Shuye was so angry that he was upset and decided to use the content of the imperial edict to drag his brother who had not grown up home and hang it up and beat him to death. Since the emperor said, "It is a mistake for brother who is not filial to me," he can use family rules against this boss.

Later, Liang Shicheng continued to read the order: Tao Jiefu was promoted to the Privy Councilor of the Western Prefecture Seal of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Shuye was awarded the title of Minister of Revenue and the Left Minister, and was promoted to the position of the General Privy Council. The rest of the matters will be considered by the emperor.

Cai Jing also supported Zhang Shuye very much to take his younger brother back and beat him to death. Lao Zhang, the younger brother, was crazy. He wanted to use a certain crime to knock down pork flat, and then he actually suggested that the emperor kill the Privy Councilor. Can the prime minister of the Song Dynasty be killed? Such public opinion that destroys the rules of the literati group, even if it is a star fire, must be determined to die.

Zhang Shuye covered his face up for the first time. He felt that it was embarrassing to have such a crazy brother, but he couldn't say anything about it. Zhang Kegong is not an ordinary troll. He is a Bao Zheng-like person. The only difference is that Bao Zheng is loyal to the law, while Zhang Kegong is loyal to the ethics of the censors...

The wind and rain from all directions gathered in the capital, but they came and went quickly. Many people didn't even understand what was going on, and the storm was over.

When it was almost noon, in addition to the overwhelming shit and urine left by Donghuamen and being scolded by relevant departments, the street market also calmed down and returned to the previous luxurious and lazy atmosphere.

Some gossipers with scholars gathered in the teahouse and there were many different opinions. A few knowledgeable group commented: The Tokyo Rebellion last night should have a lot to do with Gao Fangping. Because the situation where this man participated was basically like this, and it ended before he felt the pain started. This is the efficiency of simple, rough and decisive killing.

In the environment of many different opinions, there was a strange middle-aged man sitting on an ordinary tea stall on the street. He had a relatively simple face but had a flying eyebrows. He ignored the coarse cloth clothes on his body and the pair of straw sandals on his feet. In fact, this person's temperament and behavioral style showed a certain characteristic that only overlords would have in all aspects.

"Master." A big man walked up from a distance and sat down, and whispered.

Yes, this middle-aged man is Fang La, and this man is one of his important generals, the Dharma King of the Teachings: Shi Bao.

"The capital is so chaotic nowadays. It's too risky to bring experts to Beijing." Shi Bao whispered, looking at the crowds of people around and said, "There are so many people, so let's change the place."

Fang La shook his head slightly: "At this time, the capital city is on the contrary, the secluded place is dangerous. As usual, no one cares about you." (To be continued.)
