Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 60 The Battle of the Court——Zhao Ji's Defeat

The vigorous overhaul of the road has begun.

Somewhere in the Yunling Mountains, more than 20 people gnawed out a gap in the entire Yunling Mountains like countless ants.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
The sound of the ax falling on the trees kept ringing, and the centuries-old towering giant trees were chopped down one by one and pulled away.

Every time the trees and plants growing on an area were cleared away, another group of people would dig the ground three feet out of the roadbed with hoes.

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of road construction materials were filled up, and then the young man with a sledgehammer hammered the soil again and again, and then hammered it firmly.

Only until the road reaches the construction standards required by the government servants on the side.

In this way, 20 people methodically gnawed a long gap in Feiyun Mountains and continued to advance towards the other side.

The 20 people, the poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests were all scared and fled from this area.

Even where there is miasma, the county guard's mansion has long been prepared. After a dose of decoction, everyone ignores the miasma and continues to work.

After that piece of land is emptied, the miasma will be emptied and dissipated.

Nearly 20 refugees were resettled in the construction of the road. Although the county yamen spent a huge amount of supplies and consumed a lot every day, after all, this was all to be done, and the money needed was all A certain amount of expenditure, everything went on like this.

The major material dealers in the city kept transporting materials to the construction companies, and the construction companies provided the materials to the county yamen, and the county yamen bought the materials for road construction.

The people who built the road had jobs, food, and some salaries that were paid out on time by the county yamen, though not much.

After work, he will also go to Yunzhou City to buy all kinds of daily necessities.

There are nearly 20 more consumers, and the major businesses in the city earn a lot of money, and then pay taxes to the county yamen.

Thus, a perfect virtuous circle is thus formed.

Yunzhou City is also becoming more and more prosperous day by day.

The money is still the same money, but it has been turned around to benefit everyone.

Here, Yunzhou City is in full swing making preparations for the expedition, and everyone is forgetting to eat and sleep to contribute to the future war to the best of their ability. It can be said that they are united as one.

Over there, there was another uproar in Bianjing Chaotang!
The fourth prince, Zhao Ji, was ginsenged!
It's not like joining him directly, but it's not too bad.

Chen Zhuo, a censor of Yushitai, joined Wang Chengyuan, the magistrate of Jinzhou Prefecture, to conceal the disaster and drive away the disaster-stricken people in the territory, causing nearly 30 people in the entire Jinzhou Prefecture to leave their homes, making the entire Jinzhou Prefecture empty today. tragic scene.

Participate in a series of crimes such as abusing the people and harming the people, dereliction of duty and so on.

In the end, Chen Zhuo also pointedly said that a certain guard at the Liaoyun Pass in Liaobei County opened and closed the gate arbitrarily without the imperial court's order, and helped the abusive officials to exile 30 people to a barren land. It can be pointed out that the guard did this for the face of a certain prince in the court, especially the guard and the prince still have some relatives.

As soon as this remark came out, the officials of the fourth prince's line were furious on the spot!

You're so close to pointing at the fourth prince's nose and saying that this bastard did something good, you're expressly implying it here!
Can this thing be recognized?

Immediately, a bunch of retorting people rushed out and yelled at Chen Zhuo, but Chen Zhuo remained calm and seemed to be fighting the world alone.

As the official censor, talk about lip service?

Ah!
He has never been afraid of anyone!
In addition, Yu Shitai originally had the duty of supervising all officials, and he had some scruples before, so some things were not used, but now is a good time to take them out, and they were directly used by Chen Zhuo.

It’s like a roll call, one by one, one by one, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all those who stood up to criticize him were sprayed back by him, and the evidence-based charges were like the cold rain in the middle of the night. The slaps on their faces made their hearts feel cool.

This time, the censor Chen Zhuo won the battle of the Confucians!big win!
The rest of the Yushitai officials in the court hall raised their heads proudly and straightened their chests.

Just kidding, we even dare to spit on the emperor, let alone this group of bums, if our Yushitai doesn't show off our power, you really think of us as sick cats who can only play tricks?

As for the officials of the Fourth Prince's family, they were all mourned, their faces ashen and defeated as a group of defeated dogs.

Seeing that the chaos in the court was almost over, Emperor Song, who directed the scene behind the scenes, began to clean up the mess. First, he dealt with the group of officials who had been knocked down by Chen Zhuo.

Immediately afterwards, the disposition of the officials and generals involved was announced.

First of all, Wang Chengyuan, the former magistrate of Jinzhou Prefecture, must have been dismissed from office. Because of his actions, his home was ransacked directly after his dismissal, and all three clans were executed.

After all, this involves a full 30 people.

As for Ningbei Marquis Ding An, due to the seriousness of opening the border without authorization, he directly seized the title, immediately dismissed from office and returned to Beijing, thinking that he would be spared the death penalty by crediting his ancestors...

Another military power was successfully taken back, the corners of Emperor Song's lips curled up slightly, but no one else noticed.

As for the treatment of the fourth and fourth prince Zhao Ji, he was banned for half a year.

After all, although all the evidence pointed to him, he didn't do it directly, it was all done by his subordinates, so he couldn't be involved at all, and at most he was ordered to ground him.

But the loss of power of the fourth prince this time is what hurts him the most. This is a team that has been cultivated and accumulated with great difficulty.

If you lose so much at once, you will lose a lot of the right to speak in the court!
On the fourth prince's mansion.

It stands to reason that both the fourth and fifth princes have already grown up, and they should have left Bianjing to their respective fiefs long ago. Emperor Song intended to keep them to check and balance the prince and other reasons.

Therefore, even though they had already grown up, the fourth and fifth princes had moved out of the palace, but they still hadn't formally sealed the king and opened the mansion. Playing against Taiwan.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! bastard fifth! How dare he! How dare he! I will not let him go! ah ah ah!"

In the fourth prince's mansion, roaring sounds continued to come from the study room, mixed with the cracking sound of broken porcelain.

Outside the study room, all the servants in the mansion stood outside with panicked faces, but no one dared to go in at this time.

The last one who dared to go in when His Highness was furious, was hung from the highest railing in the mansion for a whole month and turned into a human being!
Since then, no one dared to go in and disturb the Fourth Prince Zhao Ji when he was furious.

Outside the courtyard, a group of people walked quickly, and a woman with a glamorous appearance and gorgeous palace attire led a lot of servants into the courtyard.

As soon as he came in, he heard the furious roar from Zhao Ji's study room. Even if his beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled, his whole face became gloomy. He turned to ask the big maid who was here and said, "His Highness is here?" How long has it been in there?"

The maid was already trembling with fear from the atmosphere in the courtyard, but the fourth imperial concubine dared not answer:

"If you go back to the fourth imperial concubine, His Highness has locked himself in it since he came back from court. Now... It's been two hours now."

"It's been two hours, and it hasn't stopped?"

The fourth concubine Meng Yuru frowned even more when she heard the words, and a look of anger flashed in her eyes, and she immediately ordered in a low voice: "You all stay outside, no one is allowed to come in!"

After speaking, Meng Yuru immediately strode forward, kicked the study room away, stepped into the room, and closed the door immediately.

The next moment, there was a crisp slap on the face, and the furious roar of the fourth prince in the study stopped abruptly...
