The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 55 Killing the chicken to warn the monkey

Chapter 55
"I am the envoy of the Privy Council. I am a senior member of the second rank, and I have a title. What are you? You dare to act presumptuously in front of me. If you give you a little color, you will open a dyeing workshop. I won't teach you well. I don't know Huaer Why is it so red?"

Zhao Gou cursed angrily, walked towards the man step by step with a gloomy face, and raised his hand to slap him again; before the man came to his senses, Zhao Gou slapped him again, and she felt the burning pain on her face .For a moment, both sides of his cheeks were red and swollen, and the slap prints were clearly visible, which was particularly eye-catching. His face was already bleeding, and there were only cries of pain in his mouth other than begging for mercy.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and swear without exposing them!
However, Zhao Gou was flattened in pain, hitting his face.If it wasn't for the court, this person sued himself with a different purpose, maybe Zhao Gou would not hit hard.At the beginning, Zhao Gou thought that he was thinking of Song Dynasty, and he felt good in his heart. When he knew that this person was a member of the Privy Council, Zhao Gou guessed that he was trying to show him off.Thinking about it this way, Zhao Gou was even more merciless in his strikes.

The man covered his swollen cheeks, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, tears glistened, and he said something vaguely.Everyone couldn't hear clearly, and it was obvious from his actions that he was begging for mercy.

Zhao Gou sneered: "If you dare to show off your strength in front of me and prevent you from seeing my methods, you really think I am a sick cat. Give you face, you are shameless, then there is no need for me to do this again You have kept him. If you hadn't annoyed me first, why should I be in trouble with you? Everyone is a colleague, and you can't look up and look down! Now everything here is decided by my own official, and anyone who doesn't obey my lord's order will be treated as my boss Be alert, if you make it difficult for me, then I will not make you feel better, whoever dares to disobey my orders, do not blame me for being ruthless."

There are a total of 160 three ministers in the Privy Council, and besides Zhao Gou himself, there are another 160 people.Everyone stared at Zhao Gou who was only 12 years old in dumbfounded, as if he didn't look like a boy, but a cunning and cunning man.Most of the people are civil servants, and they have no power to restrain chickens. Wherever they have seen this battle, they are all trembling and startled. They look at Zhao Gou with fear in their eyes. They are worried that they will also become "playthings" in Zhao Gou's hands .

If Zhao Gou didn't make a sound, he would be nothing but a blockbuster, a thunderous blow, making everyone willing to serve him, no one dared to disobey his will, and it seemed to be his territory.During the period, someone wanted to say something, but Zhao Gou stared back with stern eyes, and said, "Deputy envoy of the Privy Council, where is it?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Gou strangely, and all looked at the person who was beaten.Zhao Gou also turned to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "Are you the deputy envoy?"

The man nodded hastily, the backer behind him is Gao Qiu, and the power is in the government, anyone who dares not to give Gao Qiu face, is against him, not only will he be depressed in the officialdom, even his life will be threatened.However, he had never seen such a ruthless person as Zhao Gou, no matter what 21, he would beat him up first, his cheeks were red and swollen, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he could only hear the sound of "woo woo", It seems to say: "The next official is!"

Zhao Gou really didn't know that he was the deputy envoy, he only knew that this man was ambitious and wanted to make him succumb.Since he is the deputy envoy, Zhao Gou can guess the cause and effect.He also asked about the person's name, surnamed Wang Mingli, and Zhao Gou continued: "Since the Deputy Envoy Wang can't speak, then it's up to you to answer my lord's words!"

Everyone nodded hastily, not daring to procrastinate, and then asked: "This is the first time this official has taken office, why is no one there to welcome you? It doesn't matter if you don't welcome me for this matter, and why is it time for work, why are you late, and what is the reason? Tell the truth!"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, with embarrassment on their faces.They looked at Wang Li and then at Zhao Gou.One side is the deputy envoy, and the other side is the main envoy.If you say it was Wang Li's instigation, then you will offend Gao Qiu; if you don't say it, you will offend the new official Zhao Gou. They don't want to be the second person to be beaten by Zhao Gou. Still don't say it, no one wants to be the first bird, you look at me and I look at you.

Covering his cheeks, there was still burning pain on his face. He wanted to explain aloud, but he was powerless. He could only stare at everyone with wide eyes. The threat was obvious. Zhao Gou walked around and hurriedly Withdrawing his eyes, sweating coldly, not daring to make mistakes, he could only silently pray in his heart: "Don't say it, or it's over!..."

With a cold face, Zhao Gou glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gou stroked his sleeves, showing his thick arms, and everyone was stunned.Wang Li opened his mouth wide and was speechless, thinking: "Is he really a 12-year-old boy? Why is he stronger than us? No wonder he hit so hard!"

Seeing this, everyone scrambled to be the first, afraid of being one step too late, and finally replied in unison: "It's Wang Fushi!"

Zhao Gou nodded contentedly, turned around to look at Wang Li who was mourning, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you messed it up, very good, very courageous, not bad!"

Zhao Gou praised several words in a row, and Wang Li trembled even more, trembling all over.Seeing Zhao Gou's cold smile, Wang Li hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to raise his head, lowered his head, terrified, for fear that Zhao Gou would let him have another "big meal".In fact, Zhao Gou knew very well that the culprit behind the scenes was Wang Li, and he was always unwilling to point it out, just to let these people stand in line with him.Even if he gave in under threat, it was enough.

Zhao Gou sternly said: "Deputy Wang has bad intentions. When I first took office, I wanted to make me succumb to his power and control the Privy Council with one hand. I don't take this envoy seriously. Others conspired with him to come late to the Privy Council on purpose, to delay major events, and to delay important border defense matters. Therefore, my lord ordered to be dismissed from office, to lose fame, and to be imprisoned in the prison until I report to the Emperor! Forgive me, I will punish you with half a year's salary, and I will deal with it later."

When Wang Li heard Zhao Gou's punishment, he almost passed out.He worked hard for half his life, starting as a Jinshi little by little, and finally gained his current status with great difficulty. Just because he disrespected Zhao Gou and neglected his duties, he was stripped of his fame by Zhao Gou and thrown into the prison, feeling ashamed , A letter full of mistakes lost.However, no matter who Wang Li is, he doesn't want to stand still.

"My lord, what crime did you commit? Even if you are guilty, you should be dealt with by the emperor. I am a second-rank official, and I am only half a rank older than me in terms of official position. You have no right to deal with me!"

Seeing that Zhao Gouming was embarrassing himself, Wang Li took the opportunity to beat himself, and simply broke the jar and refuted desperately.Even if it offends Zhao Gou, he will not hesitate.In his opinion, Zhao Gou is just a fledgling boy after he has spent more than a dozen winters and summers in the officialdom.Even if he has the title of county king and is an envoy of the Privy Council, he cannot be compared.Moreover, the big backer behind him is Gao Qi, it is impossible for him to sacrifice in vain, and he will definitely intercede for him.

Zhao Gou was too lazy to talk to him, ignored his rebuttal, and drove him out abruptly, and let the guards detain him.Everyone wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and breathed a sigh of relief. General Zhao Gou was a second-rank official in the court, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council was dismissed from office, dismissed for investigation, which was beyond their expectations.

"Don't think that with Gao Lian's backing, I won't dare to touch you. I'll let you see how strong I am, and see if you are better than me!" Zhao Gou watched Wang Li being taken away intently, thinking: "From now on, I will be more powerful than you." From now on, I will be in charge of this place. At that time, if the government dares to blatantly plunder the fat and anoint of the people, and those who commit crimes will be killed, starting from the Privy Council."

Zhao Gou's move of "killing chickens to warn monkeys" completely frightened the ministers of the Privy Council. They looked at Zhao Gou in horror as if they had seen a ghost. .Over the years, they have been used to bowing their knees and obeying orders. They only want to keep their official positions. They don't have any intention of being loyal to the king and serving the country. Playing, maybe it is a good thing, maybe it is a bad thing, everything is unpredictable, we can only wait and see.
