Extreme alert

Chapter 1637 Difficult to stand in line
The truth is simple, but people's hearts are complicated.

When Shen Yue heard that Chen Dong had denied Zhao Ji, she couldn't help admiring Chen Dong's courage.

Saying this is to prepare to be beheaded!

There are very few people in this world who can give up their lives to face the truth.

Li Yan scolded, "Bold Chen Dong, you really don't take the emperor seriously with your words like this!" Even though he said so, a trace of joy flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

This is his usual routine, and it is also a way to divert conflicts. Everyone is paying attention to Chen Dong's "mistakes". What he did by Li Yan can make big things small and small things small?
Seeing that Li Yan's scheme seems to have succeeded, Shen Yue did not speak yet.

Li Yan is still limited to the old routine, but Shen Yue sees Zhao Ji's indifference.

If the current Zhao Ji still can't distinguish these routines, and still go his own way, then it's just a new loneliness.

Although a miracle appeared, the choice was ultimately Zhao Ji's.

Chen Dong knelt down, "Chen puts the emperor in his eyes and heart, so he chose to tell the truth today. Please listen to Chen."

At that moment, he forgot about life and death, and said generously: "As the saying goes-the family is chaotic and the filial son is born, and the country has loyal ministers. Chen actually doesn't want to be a loyal minister, because being a loyal minister means that the treacherous minister is in power and the country's ruler is foolish. But Chen can only be a loyal minister."

Looking up at Zhao Ji, Chen Dong looked earnestly, "Your Majesty is obsessed with fun and has no interest in government affairs. It is a big mistake. There are frequent chaos in the world now. There are complaints from the common people inside, and there are golden people staring at you outside. If the Holy Majesty does not punish rape and eradicate evil, If you correct your mistakes, I am afraid that the country will perish, and the time is not far away!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to the ground, Chen Dong's forehead was already bruised.

Li Yan scolded, "It's a bunch of nonsense. Think about the peace in the world today, the peace and tranquility in the northwest for the first time in more than a hundred years, the Song and Jin alliances to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and last year the Jin emperor even ceded Shanxi to the Song Dynasty, that's right..."

Suddenly he patted his forehead, as if he had just remembered something, Li Yan said again: "My minister has definite news that Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi was captured by Jin Jiang and escorted to Shangjing, Liao Kingdom has been destroyed."

Zhao Ji's eyelids twitched slightly.

Li Yan didn't notice Zhao Ji's slight expression, and said briskly, "The Holy Majesty's blessings are equal to the sky, he calmed down the chaos in the northwest, wiped out the Liao people, the enemies of the Song Dynasty, and completed the great cause that the kings of the Song Dynasty did not complete. It can be said that since the Taizu Below, it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor with the most literary and martial arts skills can even be compared with the Taizu."

Shen Yue sighed secretly.

It is said that Song Huizong is a foolish king, but there are countless people in this world who are like Song Huizong.

If you don't ask Jiarong, it's hard to see the sufferings of the people, and being flattered by a bunch of sycophants, normal people will lose their rational judgment, not to mention Zhao Ji who has always been pampered.

Listening to Li Yan's description of the current situation, the world is really quiet and peaceful, and the Great Song Dynasty is actually the best in the world. Who would have thought that in just a few months, the Jin people would come to the city, and the Song Dynasty would be in danger of destroying the country!

Born in sorrow and died in peace...

Fan Zhongyan made a clear statement before, but the descendants of decades have long left this warning statement behind.

Li Yan had to believe what he said. Seeing the emperor pondering, in order to confirm the emperor's confidence, he even said: "I want Cai Xiang to see that the emperor is wise, and he will praise that under the leadership of the sage, the world's "Feng, Heng, Yu, Da', a faction of prosperity, but unfortunately, Youxiao has ulterior motives, deliberately sowing dissension, turning a blind eye to the prosperity of the world, just wanting to scare and confuse the Holy One, so as to win the name of loyal minister!"

Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief, "How should this matter be handled according to Aiqing's vision?"

Li Yan was overjoyed.

He came here today, originally very uneasy, but hearing Zhao Ji's words "Love Qing", he instantly called back his old confidence, "I thought that the alarmist should be handed over to... Dali Temple to investigate and deal with it as a warning Xiaoyou, Fang Xiansheng is wise."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Dong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Zhao Ji looked at Zhang Jixian, "If Chen Dong is handed over to Dali Temple, it seems that it does not match the prophecy of the Celestial Master?"

Li Yan's heart sank slightly.

The Son of Heaven is fatuous, and Li Yan is well aware of this, and the faint king is naturally easy to fool, but the trouble is--this faint king really believes in the words of the Taoist.

Zhang Jixian's position in Zhao Ji's mind is not ordinary, and Zhang Jixian's remarks not only determine Chen Dong's fate, but also his Li Yan's.

Zhang Jixian sighed softly, "I hope the prophecy is not accurate."

Shen Yue could hear what Zhang Jixian said - if Chen Dong went to prison, or died because of it, it would prove that Zhang Jixian's prediction was correct.

But can Zhao Ji hear what Zhang Jixian is saying?
Zhao Ji's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Take Chen Dong to Dali Temple for investigation!"

Li Yan showed his face.

Most of the people were astonished.

In fact, this is not an unexpected result. In fact, in the eyes of Zhao Mingcheng and others, this is a very normal ending.

The six thieves firmly controlled the government. If they dared to fight against the six thieves, they would either be imprisoned or expelled from the capital. This was a routine operation.

Chen Dong's expression was pale, and he clenched his fists tightly. Before he was taken out, he didn't cry for grievances.

What's the use of crying out for injustice?

If someone defends him, he will stand up before he shouts.

But no one complained, even Shen Yue remained silent.

Zhao Mingcheng secretly wiped off his cold sweat, thinking that luckily he didn't choose to side with Chen Dong, otherwise he might go to prison with Chen Dong at this moment.

Zhao Ji didn't seem to want to let Zhao Mingcheng go, and said slowly: "Mingcheng, in your opinion, what should Chen Dong do?"

Zhao Mingcheng was surprised, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "If you are not in your position, you don't seek to govern yourself, and your status is low, how can you go beyond the judgment of your servant?"

What he said was well-founded and watertight, but he obviously stayed out of it and didn't want to join the dispute.

Li Qingzhao frowned, and wanted to go forward, but was held back by Zhao Mingcheng.

After being married for many years, how could Zhao Mingcheng not understand his wife's character? If he hadn't grabbed her and looked at her nervously just now, she might have stood up to defend Chen Dong long ago.

But in Zhao Mingcheng's view, the overall situation has been settled, and there is no use complaining, it is just to be buried with Chen Dong.

Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Zhao Mingcheng's hand, and he said after a while, "I think Mingcheng's father, Zhao Tingzhi, was originally the prime minister of the court. When he was in power, he also criticized the government..."

Zhao Mingcheng said hoarsely, "My father has passed away for a long time." The implication is of course that the crime is not as good as an heir.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, "So that's the case." His smile was somewhat mocking, "I'm curious about something, I wonder if Mingcheng can solve my confusion?"

Zhao Mingcheng sweated on his forehead.

The lessons learned from the past made him tremble, and the years of depression caused by his family's offending Cai Jing made him walk on thin ice.

Zhao Ji said slowly, "Your name is Mingcheng, do you know why Zhao Tingzhi named you?"

Zhao Mingcheng was sweating profusely, and he said after a while, "Ming is the light of the sun and the moon, sincerity is... sincerity is..." He couldn't continue.

Zhao Ji said slowly, "When your father is here, I really hope you can be an upright gentleman."

"Exactly." Zhao Mingcheng said with relief.

Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Mingcheng, "Then you have fulfilled your father's wish?"
