"Chai Zongqing, do you want me to invite you out?!"
Chai Zongqing shivered all over, appeared outside the train, and wailed: "Officials, the officials have been deceived by the traitors, please ask the officials to be the masters!"
Zhao Zhen stared at Chai Zongqing coldly, saying word by word: "I just want to ask you, are you greedy or not?"
Chai Zongqing bit his scalp, gritted his teeth and said: "The minister is the recipient..."
Zhao Zhen suddenly roared, "Are you greedy?!"
Chai Zongqing fell to the ground with a fright.
The Manchu civil and military were also taken aback.
Zhao Zhen stared at Chai Zongqing, who had fallen on the ground and refused to plead guilty, and said coldly: "If you refuse to say, then I will send someone to investigate!"
"Chen Lin!"
"Slaves are here!"
"Go to Wu Desi and Huangcheng Division to pass on my will, so that they will give me all those who have handled the money. They will try them one by one and ask them one by one.
I want to know who is greedy for the lives of soldiers.
I want to know who is digging the foundation of my great Song Dynasty.
I want to let all those who are greedy of this money take their lives. "
"Here!"
Chen Lin ordered Zhao Zhen's verbal order and withdrew from the Chui Gong Palace.
Zhao Zhen stared at the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts, and said: "Don't you like to stay in the palace? Then stay in the palace today, don't leave. Wait until the matter is clear, and then leave."
Manchu Wenwu said with a complicated expression.
Zhao Zhen did this because he couldn't trust them, for fear that they would confide in the news.
If this matter only involves one or two officials, that's fine.
If a lot of officials were found behind the scenes.
Then Zhao Zhen will definitely look suspicious when he sees Manchu civil and military in the future.
The emperor seems to be born with suspicion, he will be suspicious of everyone around him.
The more people who deceive him at the end of the term, the more suspicion he becomes.
When his suspicion becomes overwhelming, he will choose to use violent means to make himself feel at ease.
For example, killing a group of people who make him feel uneasy.
Or kill a group of people he thinks are not loyal enough.
Once the emperor started to kill with knives for this, his children could be killed, not to mention the Manchu civil and military.
Zhao Zhen now has all martial arts in Wenzhi, and he has pushed his majesty to the highest point by virtue of martial arts in Wenzhi.
No one can restrain him in his rage, up and down the ruling party.
Zhao Zhen caught the reaction of Manchao Wenwu in his eyes, snorted coldly, sat on the seat, and waited quietly with Manchao Wenwu.
Over time, officials with a guilty conscience, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Zhen didn't seem to see them.
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai looked at the officials who knelt down one by one, with their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.
During the period when the three of them were serving in power, such a big case occurred, and the three of them will also be infamy.
The amount of money involved is already shockingly high.
If the number of officials involved in the case is shocking.
Then the three of them are about to resign.
Time flew, and by noon, the number of officials who had already kneeled had reached ten.
During this period, some people dressed in black entered the hall, and after consulting Zhao Zhen, some officials who had kneeled down were taken out.
Those in black are from the Imperial City Division.
They asked Zhao Zhen for instructions and entered the Chui Gong Hall to arrest people, indicating that they had been found on the heads of those people, and there was conclusive evidence.
Manchao Wenwu looked frightened.
Zhao Zhen's heart was calm like a lake.
Zhao Zhen had already grasped all the evidence of the military corruption case.
He had already skipped it in fright.
The reason why he mobilized the crowd to send people to investigate is to draw some people out.
Time flies.
In the afternoon.
Zhao Zhen and others have entered the palace.
When the civil and military ministers in the Chui Gong Hall were staring at Chai Zongqing, a small yellow door quickly entered the hall.
The reason why the ministers of civil and military affairs stared at Chai Zongqing was because of the kneeling people, except for him, all the others were taken out.
Xiaohuangmen entered the hall, and after the ceremony, he reported: "Open to the official, Princess Dengguo, see you..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen pretended to be surprised and said, "Aunt Huang?"
When the ministers of civil and military affairs saw this, their hearts trembled.
Princess Deng Guoda entered the palace and cried, would the official give Chai Zongqing lightly
Combine Zhao Zhen's attitude towards the royal family before.
Zhao Zhen is likely to spare Chai Zongqing lightly.
Think of it here.
Lu Yijian stepped forward almost without hesitation and said: "Officials, Chui Gong Hall is a place for participating in and discussing politics. Women are not allowed to enter. The official also inscribed a plaque for this and erected it in the harem. Did the official forget? ?"
After Wang Zeng spoke up in Lu Yijian, he also stood up and said: "Officials, the case of corruption of military payments, I am afraid that it is clear now that it has been investigated, and Chai Zongqing must not be able to get out of the relationship.
When Princess Deng Guo entered the palace at this moment, she must have known that something had happened and wanted to plead for Chai Zongqing.
If the officials forgive Chai Zongqing for this reason, the world's subjects will complain about the unfairness of the officials. "
Zhang Zhibai also stood up afterwards and said decisively: "The minister is admonishment!"
As soon as Zhang Zhibai said this, he seemed to have lost a stone on the calm lake.
For a time.
Most of the civil servants who went out of class echoed Zhang Zhibai's words.
"The minister agrees!"
"The minister agrees!"
"The minister agrees!"
"..."
Ninety percent of the civil servants stood up to second.
The reason for this situation is also related to Zhao Zhen's brainless maintenance of the emperor's relatives in recent months.
Zhao Zhen brainlessly defended the imperial relatives and relatives for several months, and the imperial relatives did a lot of anger and resentment.
For this reason, the Manchu civil and military impeached relatives and relatives of the emperor.
But every time the impeachment has no results.
Manchu dynasty civil and military are almost desperate.
Seeing that the relatives and relatives of the emperor are about to become the root of the troubles of the Song Dynasty.
Some loyal and upright ministers worry that they can't eat and sleep every day.
Now that Chai Zongqing commits a crime, he is still committing a major event that can shock the world.
They think this is an opportunity.
An opportunity to hit the emperor's relatives.
If this opportunity is missed, I am afraid I will never have it again.
So they desperately began to admonish.
Of course, they are only some of the officials, and some officials are purely following the trend, and some officials have been invaded by their relatives by the imperial relatives. They naturally have to move to the imperial relatives, so most of the civil servants are admonished. When, they also followed.
In short, after 90% of civil servants came out to advise them, some military officials also began to advise them.
For an instant.
A bunch of people stood in the middle of the hanging arch hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen felt particularly relaxed, but his face was frosty.
"What are you doing? Do you force the palace?"
Just as Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were about to speak, Zhang Zhibai took the lead and said: "The officials are all officials of the officials, how dare you to persecute the officials? It's just that such a large corruption case has caused a mutiny, if the officials don't If you deal with it impartially, people in the world will probably criticize it.
As a minister in political affairs, he cannot return justice to the people of the world, and he will continue to live in the world. "
"The same goes for ministers..."
Those officials standing in the temple agreed.
Zhao Zhen seemed to be agitated. "I just want to summon my imperial aunt. Not only do I want to summon the emperor, but I also want to summon all the emperor's relatives and relatives!"
"Officials!"
"My intention has been decided!"
"Faint..."
"Fainted? Who fainted?!"
Zhang Zhibai was also anxious by Zhao Zhen's actions. Just about to shout out the word "Funjun", Kou Ji yelled as if he had just recovered, and forced Zhang Zhibai to close his mouth.
The civil servants of Manchuria looked at Kou Ji with anger one by one.
Now everyone is forcing the officials to clean up the emperor's relatives and relatives, you don't need to help Kou Ji, you are still making trouble.
"Kou Ji!"
Someone yelled and accused Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't wait for him to speak, so he shouted: "What are you doing? Do you force the palace? Since the official wants to summon relatives and relatives of the emperor, he naturally has the intention of the official, don't you want to be the master of the official?"
The court officials gave Kou Ji a vicious look, but no one answered Kou Ji's words.
Wang Zeng frowned and looked at Kou Ji, gritted his teeth and said: "Kou Ji, I'm really big, don't talk nonsense."
Kou Ji grinned and said: "The matter is big, and naturally requires the dictatorship of the official Sacred Heart. If the official thinks that the horse Chai Zongqing is guilty, then he should be punished according to the law. If the official feels that the horse Chai Zongqing is not guilty, then the horse Chai Zongqing is not guilty."
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai frowned.
They felt that Zhao Zhen was in Hulai, and Kou Ji was helping him.
Just when Lv Yijian and Wang Zeng were about to scold Kou Ji, Princess Dengguo had already broken into the Chui Gong Palace.
After Princess Dengguo entered the hall, she respectfully saluted Zhao Zhen and said loudly: "Chen Zhao Xuanci, see the official..."
Princess Deng Guosheng shouted the character Zhao in her surname very loudly.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice, "Where is Huang Gu... Chen Lin, give Huang Gu a seat soon."
Chen Lin hurried to fetch the seat.
Seeing this, the Manchu civil and military officials felt cold.
When Princess Deng Guoda saw this, she was relieved.
Seeing this, Chai Zongqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't dare to say a word that was scared just now. Now that he saw Zhao Zhen's attitude, he was finally relieved.
Zhao Zhen's reaction was exactly the same as when they had committed a crime before and after they were sued before the court.
Princess Deng Guo waited until Chen Lin moved the chair, and after sitting on the chair, she bowed to Zhao Zhen and said: "Officials, when the ministers were in the mansion, they heard that the consort was deceived by the treacherous men and did stupid things. , He immediately rushed into the palace and pleaded guilty to the official.
The minister heard that the consort was greedy for some money, so he took some money from the treasury and sent it to the palace to make up for the mistake of the consort.
In addition, the minister returned the 3,000 mu of land outside the city of Bianjing as a national treasury, which was regarded as atonement for the consort. "
After all, Chai Zongqing made a mistake and caused a mutiny.
Princess Deng Guoda did not dare to act domineeringly.
After hearing what Princess Deng Guo said, Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I don't need to be impatient, the matter has not been found out yet, and it is not too late to make a decision after finding out.
I sent someone to invite the five emperor aunts and other imperial relatives into the palace. When they arrive, we will sit down and have a good discussion. "
As soon as this remark came out.
Princess Deng Guoda was completely relieved.
Zhao Zhen not only did not rush to deal with Chai Zongqing, but also helped them get a lot of helpers into the palace.
Zhao Zhen is determined to defend them.
When Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and others heard this, their hearts were ashamed, and their faces were gloomy, and they didn't want to say another word.
Zhao Zhen's mediocre behavior has exceeded the limit that they can understand.
They don't want to say any more, just want to leave the court as soon as possible.
They didn't have the idea of resigning, they just wanted to leave the court, and then find a way to wake up Zhao Zhen who was in a daze.
The three of Lu Yijian did not speak, and other civil and military officials naturally did not speak.
Everyone stayed quietly in the Hanging Arch Hall,
He waited until the relatives of the emperor and relatives entered the hall one after another.
The relatives and relatives of the imperial family had already understood the whole story when they were outside the palace, so after entering the palace, they did not say anything, and decisively stood aside with Princess Deng Guo.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the chaos caused by Chai Zongqing.
But considering that they had trouble in the future and needed Chai Zongqing's help, they didn't speak out their complaints.
It's a coincidence.
After the emperor’s relatives arrived, Wu Desi and Huangchengsi who were responsible for investigating corruption cases of military payments also reported the results of their investigations.
Wu Desi and Huangchengsi's people, in front of everyone, reported the results of the investigation to Zhao Zhen's desk and withdrew from the main hall.
After they left, Zhao Zhen slowly opened the paperwork they had submitted.
Although it was not the first time for Zhao Zhen to read a document, when he saw the specific amount of Chai Zongqing's embezzlement, his anger still rose uncontrollably.
"Very good..."
After Zhao Zhen finished reading the document, he ordered Chen Lin to pass it to others for viewing. He gave a smile of praise.
Everyone in the Chui Gong Hall looked dumbfounded, not knowing what medicine Zhao Zhen sold in the gourd.
Zhao Zhen stared at Chai Zongqing with a smile on his face and said: "Chai Fuma, Uncle Chai, you are my great hero. I have approved a total of 3 million in military salaries, and you have helped me save two hundred and four. One hundred thousand guan.
By the way, he also helped me unearth a bunch of corrupt officials.
I have relatives like yours, so why don't I worry about it. "
Zhao Zhen was clearly boasting, but it was very ear-piercing.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked suspicious, and most of the relatives and relatives of the imperial family also looked suspicious. Only Princess Deng Guo frowned, and Chai Zongqing felt a little flustered inexplicably.
Zhao Zhen didn’t care about their thoughts. He glanced over Chai Zongqing, looked at other relatives and relatives of the emperor, and said with a smile: “Among you, there are people who help me to grab shops, money, food, land, and others. I'm going to grab those girls who haven't left the pavilion...
Someone helped me kill people and set fire...
Someone helped me resell the officials for profit....
Someone helped me sell ordnance to Liao, Qingtang and other places...
Some even brought soldiers and horses to help me bloodyly suppress those Xixia people who were unwilling to submit to my Great Song..."
When Zhao Zhen said this, there was no benefit on his face.
The Manchu dynasty civil and military, the emperor's relatives, and the relatives, all realized that Zhao Zhen was talking irony.
Unprecedented surprises appeared on the faces of Manchu Civil and Martial Arts.
The relatives of the emperor and the relatives frowned in consternation.
Zhao Zhen continued: "When you didn't go to official positions before, you complained about the imperial court, complained about the unfairness of the court, complained about the unfairness of the court, complained about the injustice of me, and blamed me for making foreigners, and I refused to make you cheap.
I thought for a long time and felt that the court was indeed harsh on you.
So you are allowed to appear in the court and hold important positions.
Give you money, give you power, give you soldiers.
I have given you what you want.
Not only that, you have made mistakes, and I will protect you everywhere. "
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "But I gave you what you wanted, what did you give me? You didn't give me anything, you didn't help me at all. Not only did you not help me maintain the Zhao family, but you are also everywhere. In the foundation of Song Da Song.
You keep saying, Da Song’s own family, you and I are both your own family.
But who of you has done something that your family should do
Not only do you fail to maintain your own foundation, but instead are drawing the pillars of your own foundation.
Two million four hundred thousand sticks. If you say you are greedy, you will be greedy without blinking your eyes.
Have you ever thought about the impact of greed for two to four hundred thousand pennies on my Da Song? "
Zhao Zhen roared loudly, "It will make me lose faith in 300,000 soldiers, and it will chill 300,000 soldiers. How many 300,000 soldiers in my Song Dynasty can withstand such a toss
If all the soldiers in the world are chilled by your tossing, who will do their best for me
Who will maintain your prosperity
Who can protect your lives
If Da Song died under your toss, it would not be someone else who would be condemned by the Ju clan first, but our Zhao family.
As a member of the Zhao family, you don’t think for your own lives, for the lives of future generations, and steadfastly help my Da Song and build a peaceful world for your children and grandchildren.
Instead, he blindly harmed Zhao's foundation.
After your death, what face was confessed by your descendants? "
Zhao Zhen pointed to the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts, and shouted: "Manchu Civil and Martial Arts impeach you, I defend you, are you really me facing you? I was afraid that I would drag you to the execution ground and lose the face of the royal family, so I replaced you. You cover up.
I hope that you will know how to return when you are lost, knowing my good intentions, but you don't have it. "
Princess Deng Guoda's face had already turned purple, as did other relatives and relatives of the emperor.
Princess Deng Guoda stared at Zhao Zhen, and said with a heavy voice: "Officials..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhao Zhen interrupted her forcibly, "Zhao Xuanci, you were already born when grandfather was there. You can see clearly how my Da Song stumbled to this day."
You should understand how difficult it is for my Zhao family to reach today.
How many people died because of this.
Manchu dynasty civil and military, worked hard for my Song Dynasty, and fought for my Song Dynasty, I don't know where they are.
They fought their lives for my Zhao family.
As a member of the Zhao family, you did not do anything for me.
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel ashamed? "
Princess Deng Guoda flushed with shame.
With Zhao Zhen's words, the faces of the emperor's relatives and relatives were completely removed, and their ugly faces were all exposed to everyone's eyes.
As long as it is a person who wants a face, it is impossible to be indifferent.
"Come up!"
After Zhao Zhen settled down the emperor's relatives and relatives, he gave an order.
Chen Lin took a few eunuchs, carried two large boxes, and entered the Chuggong Hall.
"turn on!"
Zhao Zhen gave an order.
Chen Lin opened the box, which was full of memorials.
Zhao Zhen pointed to the memorial and said to the emperor's relatives: "It is all the disgust you committed, and there is no repetition. The impeachment of your memorial has piled up two whole halls.
I just picked some important ones and took them out. "
Zhao Zhen instructed: "Come over and see, and see how you contribute to my great Song Jiangshan."
The royal relatives blushed one by one, and none of them dared to step forward.
Zhao Zhen coldly snorted, "Show me, if you don't read it, I will order people to recite in class, and when will the recitation be finished
Even though the relatives of the imperial family were pulled clean, they still had some shame.
They were afraid that Zhao Zhen would really ask someone to read the memorial in class.
If Zhao Zhen really ordered people to read all the memorials in class, no one of the emperor's relatives and relatives would be able to raise their heads in the future.
The relatives of the imperial family moved to the big box step by step.
One by one he hesitated to pick up the music.
Someone just looked at it and couldn't stand it anymore.
It was not the nausea they committed that they couldn't stand it, but at this moment, they couldn't bear the pressure Zhao Zhen gave them.
"The minister is guilty, please ask the officials to punish you!"
When someone can't stand the pressure, he bows down to plead guilty.
Some people start their heads, and some people naturally follow along to plead.
After a while, 80% of the emperor's relatives bowed down and pleaded guilty.
By now.
They have nothing to do without asking for a crime.
Some of them guessed that Zhao Zhen had blindly guarded them before, most likely to lure them into making mistakes, so as to get rid of them in one fell swoop.
But I dare not say.
Now everything they say is wrong.
Even if Zhao Zhen designs to lure them, the fault lies with them.
It was they who couldn't stand up to the sex, they were tempted by Zhao Zhen a little bit, and they committed the wrong thing.
Although Zhao Zhen's move was a bit unorthodox.
But they are the ones who made the mistake. Where is their crime, they can't quibble.
Eighty percent of the emperor's relatives bowed down and pleaded guilty, while another 20 percent did not.
Zhao Zhen looked at those who hadn't asked for the crime, and asked coldly: "Four Emperors, Fifth Emperors, do you think you are right?"
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Princess Ji got up and pleaded guilty.
But she was held back by Princess Deng Guoda.
Princess Deng Guoda stared at Zhao Zhen and gritted her teeth and said: "The official family is really a good method, this time I admit it. The official family wants to deal with it, even if it is dealt with. If I frown, I will not be called Zhao Xuanci!"
"Emperor Sister..."
Grand Princess Ji called out in a low voice, seeming to remind Princess Deng not to confront Zhao Zhen.
However, Princess Deng Guoda was scolded by Zhao Zhen for incompleteness.
Ashamed in her heart, she also aroused anger, and she decided to fight Zhao Zhen to the end in order to restore some dignity.
She is the daughter of Taizong, Zhao Zhen's aunt, Zhao Zhen absolutely dare not kill her, nor dare to serve her, so she is not afraid of Zhao Zhen's punishment.
Zhao Zhen could see through the thoughts of Princess Deng Guo, and stared at Princess Deng Guo: "The four emperors are my royal aunts. If I treat you seriously, I am afraid that the father and the emperor will not be under Jiuquan. Will agree.
The four emperors will stay in the mansion and do not come out. The food and clothing costs will be provided in accordance with the county owner's quota. "
When Princess Deng Guoda heard what Zhao Zhen said, she gritted her teeth and said in a trembled voice: "Okay~"
Zhao Zhen lowered her status in disguise, and put her under house arrest at the same time, so she was naturally not at peace.
After Zhao Zhen dealt with Princess Deng Guo, he looked at Chai Zongqing again, "As for you... You and the Fourth Emperor's aunt will get along... Because... I want to kill your whole family!"
