The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 314: The Battle of the Officials

Chapter 314

"I beg the emperor to punish the king of Guangping County, so as to appease the world by shaking the court! If Zhao Gou is not punished, and he is allowed to act recklessly, it will be difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will be in danger!"

"The king of Guangping's actions are the way of denying Confucius and Mencius. The country of the Song Dynasty is as solid as a golden soup. The local officials are loyal to the emperor and benefit the people. They have made outstanding achievements. However, the king of Guangping is dismissed regardless of the reason. Those who are imprisoned are imprisoned. Discipline is a crime of disrespect!"

"Everyone in a hundred officials is in danger, the common people can't sleep at night, and the servants are working day and night. How many officials suffer innocently. The scientific examination is coming soon, and the county king will do this. How many literati are willing to be officials? I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world. No one is the biggest mistake!"

"Although the emperor's will is in the front, it is a crime of disrespect for the county king to make the decision privately and deceive the superior and the inferior! The Minister of Criminal Affairs, Wang Yun, does not want to dissuade, and even the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is overcrowded. Wang Shangshu has an inescapable responsibility and should be dealt with severely! "

…………

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and opinions were divided. Almost half of the ministers were angrily denouncing Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou was as immobile as a mountain, and glanced at it calmly. Seeing the furious looks of the crowd, and the faces of some people who were ruthless when they saw the wind, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky: "Haha!..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Gou, surprised and curious; Song Huizong Zhao Ji was slightly taken aback, and angrily said, "Why are you laughing?"

"Reporting to my father, my son and I heard what you adults said, and I just think it's a little ridiculous!" Zhao Gou was full of arrogance, and he glanced at everyone mockingly, without fear.

"Oh!..." Zhao Ji became a little curious when he heard that, and hurriedly asked, "Let's talk about it!"

"Leader!" Zhao Gou agreed, stood proudly, walked back and forth straight, looked around again, and shouted angrily: "This is the morning court, I didn't want to expose people's merits in public, but some people don't know At any rate, how can I let you slander me if you still speak ill of each other!"

"If Zhao has done it, I will never deny it; if it is slander, no matter who it is, everyone will have to pay the price! All of you are attacking Zhao, do you think Zhao deserves to plead guilty?"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! My lords sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, how do you know how the people think about this matter? Presumably, your lords are just hearsay, and didn't really go to investigate the situation, let's understand the situation! I wonder if Zhao Gou's guess is right?"

Everyone showed embarrassment. They really didn't go to the folks to understand the situation. What they said before was just based on their own understanding and imagination, and they were shocked by Zhao Gou's calmness.

After a while, everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Gou was scolding them angrily.Immediately, everyone showed displeasure, sternly, and angrily reprimanded Zhao Gou.

"Noisy!" Zhao Gou saw that everyone was scolding him again, this time he didn't hold back, nor did he sit idly by, and directly roared: "You talk too much, whether it's right or wrong, or something out of nothing, for the time being Regardless, we will see later.”

Zhao Gou's face was gloomy, and he glared at everyone.The originally noisy hall immediately fell silent, Zhao Gou glanced over, no one dared to look directly, and avoided them one after another, because they had no idea.

"You big crowd attacked and blamed Zhao for his crimes, but do these really exist? If the evidence is convincing, Zhao deserves to go directly to the prison without saying a word; There is nothing to worry about!"

Zhao Gou was confident and said eloquently: "Zhao has received the favor of the emperor to do this important matter. This is related to the safety of the country and the selection of talents. However, you adults don't know why. You only think that Zhao is abusing his personal power and eliminating dissidents!"

"My lords, does Mr. Zhao have any grudges against these people, or are they the disciples of some people, and the interests of some people make you so angry?"

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, showing embarrassment. They couldn't answer Zhao Gou's question. You must know that Zhao Gou really didn't know those people, and Zhao Gou's insinuations made some people feel like they were on pins and needles.

"Zhao acted openly and aboveboard, with a clear conscience! There are Jin, Liao, Xixia and other countries staring at him outside, and there are worries inside. If this goes on, the Song Dynasty is really in danger!"

"My lords have sworn to say that they are loyal to the emperor, that they have devoted themselves to the end of their lives; then, Zhao Mou hereby asks you a word, 'Those who were dismissed from official positions are occupying official positions and do not seek government affairs; those who were arrested are Not to mention occupying an official position, but also taking bribes and dominating the local government, should we be dealt with strictly?'”

Zhao Gou's second rhetorical question once again left the ministers speechless, and their entire faces flushed red because Zhao Gou asked Wang Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to take out the evidence of those people, and the real evidence was placed in front of him. All the people lowered their heads one after another, feeling ashamed to see others.

In addition, there were some people with ulterior motives who looked at the pile of evidence, and their expressions changed drastically, and they panicked, just because Zhao Gou arrested and brought to justice some of his disciples or relatives.

"There is evidence? When did his power rise to such a great extent?" Prince Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself: "If these evidences were collected by his power, it can only mean that he has grasped even me or my father. A power unknown to the emperor!"

Everyone's face is not good-looking, it's not that they impeached Zhao Gou before; now Zhao Gou said a few words, told them to shut up, and even slapped themselves, it was ashamed to throw them home.

Everyone thought that Zhao Gou was fledgling, but now it seems that everyone guessed wrong. The power of Zhao Gou, who has not yet been crowned king, is far beyond everyone's expectations, and he is well prepared and is not afraid of literati making trouble.

The Great Song Dynasty was originally a country that emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. Literati have always been valued, and they even walk with a bit of pride. The kind of eyes above the top and the conceited character have continued.

Even in the court, literati are in power.Although after a series of actions, Song Huizong Zhao Ji regained power, but the deep-rooted concept made them all think that they were superior to others.

Now that Zhao Gou was born, it not only changed the situation of the court, but even the literati felt that Zhao Gou was a bit unusual. The military generals were weak before, as if all of a sudden, the generals became the objects of reliance again, and everyone thought of this. panic.

Having been in a high position for many years and used to domineering, no one is willing to let go of the power in his hands.Zhao Gou ignored the turmoil of the literati and the opinions of the literati. He said what he said and said what he said. He acted in accordance with the rule of law. This way of doing the opposite made them a little afraid and a little admired.

"The emperor is a wise king. Every time I think about this, I urgently hope that there will be a good official who is truly willing to be an official, not for his own promotion and wealth, nor for his own selfish desires, but for the benefit of the people!"

Zhao Gou reprimanded without hesitation: "My lords are the pillars of the Song Dynasty, the ministers who the emperor relies on, but they don't know the emperor's heart, and they all protest against it. What is the difference between doing this and those moths in the court? Someone from Zhao Reputation is a small matter, but the great Song Dynasty, sharing worries and solving problems for the emperor is a serious matter, don't you adults feel ashamed?"
