Chapter 682 Difficult case
Someone jumped out again, and Zhao Zongyan was furious. There was such a hero in Bianjing, who dared to openly get along with him!
"Don't let him run away! Whoever catches him and rewards 100 coins of silver! If they are asked to run away, you will get a hundred sticks today!"
All the dog slaves in the Zhao family were profit-oriented, and they fought hard to save the beating. Zhan Zhao also crawled out of the dead, and with his fists, he was not at a disadvantage!
There are still waves on Bianhe Street. The people used to bark for the dog, but now they are helping Zhan Zhao support him. What a good scene!
A group of people couldn't do anything to a wild man! Zhao Zongyan said angrily: "Take the dog owner to me and see if this guy wants it or not!"
With a good move, he surrounded Wei and saved Zhao! Nian Cheng was beaten to death, and was dragged over like the scaly dog. The servant sternly said, "If you don't stop, you will beat him to death!"
Zhan Zhao had no choice but to stop. As soon as he stopped, he was swarmed by the Zhao family slaves and fists and kicked them up. He was tied up with a strong rope. His servant walked up to Zhao Zongyan as if he was asking for credit and said, "What should I do with this guy?"
The cruelty in Zhao Zongyan's eyes was involuntarily revealed: "This is the imperial city, and it should be handed over to Kaifeng Prefecture to handle it. The two of them took the dogs together and sent them to Kaifeng Prefecture. I want to see how this prefect is interrogating!"
This time Liang Chuan just looked coldly among the crowd, without the impulse of the past, went out to stand up for the wrongs. Zhao Zongyan had a relationship with him. If he appeared in the bright place, he would be passive. The best way was to hide on his back and find the right opportunity to rescue Zhan Zhao, rescue Nian Cheng, and get rid of Zhao Zongyan!
Someone had reported what he saw and heard on Bianhe Street to the Kaifeng Prefecture Gong Cheng Lin. Cheng Lin was also a tough guy, but it was not that he was brainless. On the contrary, as an old political world, he was extremely flexible. It seemed that it was Zhao Zongyan's affairs. This matter was very important and ridiculous. It was handled well and won the people's hearts. However, it offended Zhao Zongyan's family. If it was not handled well, it would be smashed. After using his feet, he knew it was a difficult case, so he simply asked someone to close the door and did not plan to try the case.
Cheng Lin turned around and immediately wrote a sick leave book to the Ministry of Personnel to take leave. She changed her pajamas and probably spent the past few days in bed.
Zhao Zongyan's manager arrived at Kaifeng Mansion and called him for a long time before he could enter the door under the name of King Zhao Mansion. The yamen runners of Kaifeng Mansion were very careful to serve the old man, and he persuaded Lord Cheng that he was sick but didn't believe it until he saw Cheng Lin lying on the bed unable to move!
"Old Cheng is sick, he dares to pretend to be dead at this critical moment!" Zhao Zongchen couldn't tell that Cheng Lin was pretending to be sick, but there was nothing he could do. Cheng Lin's temper was not easy to mess with.
"What should I do if my little master?"
"Continue to sue, it's not a casual pheasant who died. Cheng Lin doesn't care about it and has others to take care of it. He beat the broken drum of Kaifeng Mansion from morning to night. It doesn't matter if it's broken. I don't believe that they dare to take the gift from the late emperor as a fart!"
Cheng Lin miscalculated. He thought that even if he had been exposed, he didn't know which band Zhao Zongyan had drawn. He wanted to make a big deal of this band, and he wanted to make the whole city known to everyone. It seems that he would have to bite the bullet and cook this kid this time?
The extent to which this incident fermented far exceeded Cheng Lin's imagination.
first
What died in this matter was not ordinary things, but a goose given to Zhao Yunning by Zhao Heng of Zhenzong. Logically speaking, after so many years, even the divine goose should return to heaven. However, whenever Zhao Zongyan died, he would use another one instead. Anyway, no one could verify his true nature. Then he put the gold medals given by the emperor on the goose's neck, and the goose would no longer be an ordinary person.
"I Have a Volume of Ghosts and Gods"
The royal family stipulated that no items given by the royal family should be defiled at will, otherwise the crime of disrespect can be cured! Just like Zhao Heng, a person who is superstitious to the bones, would treat the white goose as a divine object and give them to the people below. Others who dare to do this will be scolded for being foolish in minutes.
The Ministry of Personnel reported the matter of Cheng Lin's leave. Jia Chaochang took it out at the court meeting and told him that Jia Chaochang had been unhappy about Cheng Lin and wanted his people to go to Kaifeng Prefecture, but he couldn't get a suitable reason to open the upright prefect. This time he was thinking about not doing something about Zhao Zongyan's matter, maybe things turned around.
Not only the Ministry of Personnel, some people have long regarded this matter as a joke and began to spread the argument between the court and the country. Today, when the Ministry of Personnel proposed it, everyone began to pay attention to it. The people in the court attacked the first thing they did. Their responsibilities were to speak out for the rules. Some people dared to defile the royal imperial objects and should be punished.
However, there were also some different voices in the court, such as Kong Fudao, Zhang Shangying, Jiang Ying and others. They were honest and not afraid of offending Zhao Zongyan. In the court, they dared to openly point out that Zhao Zongyan had many illegal things among the people, and asked Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate and deal with them!
Did these three people also fire a shot into the pit, causing a huge uproar. Jia Chaochang originally wanted to use this matter to get his people up. Now, it's better, whoever sits in this position will definitely die!
Since ancient times, doing things right with the royal family has offended people. To put it bluntly, unless the officials choose the royal family, it is their own family business. After a few years, these relatives began to have nostalgia. What they did at the beginning was either bad things, but they turned into bad things...
Jia Chaochang stopped doing it, so he simply pretended to be deaf and asked the people in the ward to discuss with Kaifeng Prefecture.
The censors have always been unable to see sand in their eyes when doing things. Their principle is that the bigger the back, the more they have to support themselves, and they are looking for trouble. Now the court thinks Kaifeng Mansion is a hot potato, they don’t care. What they want is the result. As long as they can prove their selflessness and speak frankly, as for how Zhao Zongyan died, they don’t care about their affairs.
Zhao Zongyan was afraid that he would not dare to think about it even when he was sitting at home. He just wanted to prove his presence. He didn't expect that the fire would directly burn on his body, burning so vigorously.
The direction of the court meeting became a little faster for a moment. Everyone had a good plan and failed suddenly, and no one dared to stand up. The court was unreasonable. Jia Chaochang and the others in the court knew that Zhao Yunning and Zhao Zongyan were Empress Dowager Liu in the backstage. If they were both brave and confronted with them, they would have to face the anger of Empress Dowager Liu. The first two prime ministers would get out of the way. Who is the back of them?
Zhao Zhen didn't know where these people said that there was a sudden loss of voice after they were hot, and they were just afraid of Empress Dowager Liu's power.
"Zhao Zongyan has reported this to Kaifeng Prefecture. What do you think of your dear friends?"
Yesterday, Zhao Zhen was in the Forbidden City. He saw Zhao Zongyan’s actions upstairs. When he was appointed as the crown prince, someone actually recommended Zhao Zongyan to him. His intention was so vicious! Zhao Zongyan was clearly the sect.
The scum of the family, such a person will only damage the majesty of the royal family and shame their ancestors! It can be seen how miserable the people in the capital were bullied by him, and they have reached the point where they dare not speak out!
Although Zhao Zhen did not make any achievements in martial arts, he was not ambiguous in terms of civil and military affairs. He was heartbroken when he looked at the civil and military officials in the court. These people were clearly seeking fame, so how could they have any integrity?
Empress Dowager Liu's health has been getting worse recently, and he has not been assisting the government today. Perhaps it is not the intrigues and deceptions of the court, but the years that defeated this old man. Now that everyone has seen the general trend, there will be different voices in the court. To get rid of the shadow of Empress Dowager Liu, he has to show his courageous performance. This time, Zhao Zongyan is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
Zhao Zhen saw Fan Zhongyan returning to Beijing from the northwest. Fan Xiwen was upright and was his capable general before. He looked at Fan Zhongyan earnestly, hoping that he could come up with a feasible plan for him.
Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan was indifferent. He clearly saw Zhao Zhen’s expectations for him, but he still kept his mouth shut, standing there, turning a blind eye to the surroundings.
He naturally knew that he could not get along with Zhao Zongyan and his son because he was planning to turn against Empress Dowager Liu's group. However, now Empress Dowager Liu is sick now, and his original misunderstanding of Empress Dowager Liu was full of guilt. With his personality, he would never add any harm to Empress Dowager Liu at this critical moment. Even if he promoted his official family, he would not compromise with power!
Seeing that Fan Zhongyan could not understand his holy intention, Zhao Zhen turned his attention to Xia Shu, the deputy general manager who was also the Western Army. When Xia Shu saw Zhao Zhen looking at him with a look of help, he thought that no tough guy in the civil and military affairs in the court dared to support the official family. Years of experience told him that this was an excellent time to speculate. If this bet is right, he will inevitably be rich and honor in the future. Even if the bet is wrong, it will only be silent for a while, and the official family will never lose less than him!
"I will report!" Xia Shu said loudly, and the whole court became quiet.
Shortly after Xia Shu entered the court, it was the time to be proud of his youth. He always did things without revealing water. Could it be that he saw any opportunity?
Zhao Zhen was very pleased and waved his hand and said, "Your dear, I'll report it!"
Xia Shu said: "The things given by the late emperor represent the royal majesty. If the streets are idle, then where can the power of the Great Song Dynasty be destroyed? This matter must be observed, and the predecessors must be dealt with in accordance with the law!"
Zhao Zhen didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Your dear continue."
"You can ask Kaifeng Prefecture to hear this case!" This is also Zhao Zongyan's request, and he is not neglected.
"Cheng Lin was sick a few days ago. Does my dear have a suitable candidate?"
Xia Qiang was confused in his mind. Now that they cannot choose these local officials in the court, they are all fence-bearers, and their roots are unstable. The trial of this case will sooner or later be subject to the mercy of the forces in the court. This is definitely not the result that the officials want. Instead of doing this, it is better to let someone who is far away from the vortex of the court handle this matter. The result has nothing to do with him, Xia Qiang, and he helped the officials again. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?
