The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 346 Give Zhao Kuangyin a Reason

"Just tell me in detail what you know, don't hide anything, but don't exaggerate, otherwise I will punish you."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't meet this little commander in the palace, the less people know about such things, the better.

So he also came to Miao Xun's house in a micro-clothes, and the surrounding area was under martial law. It can't be said that it was impenetrable, but it was indeed a bit difficult for a bird to fly in easily.

The commander knew that the person in front of him was the current emperor, knelt on the ground and lowered his head, not daring to say a word:

"The emperor's humble minister finally saw you, and finally he can redress his grievances. Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty."

This guy was full of snot and tears, and looked extremely wronged. Seeing the emperor seemed to have found the backbone.

"Okay, don't cry, a man who bleeds and doesn't shed tears. What has become of you? If you have something to say, I will make the decision for you."

Zhao Kuangyin also said that a man bleeds but does not shed tears, but there is another sentence behind him that is just not yet sad.

"The emperor's minister, Shi Shouxin's subordinates, came here today to report his infidelity to his superior."

"But the minister asked himself to be worthy of his conscience, the court, and the emperor. This minister's move is definitely not for his own promotion and wealth, but for the stability of the court."

The commander stabilized his emotions, and slowly expressed his loyalty, which is a trick he would do himself.

Although I complained about my wife's affairs, I couldn't say that in front of the emperor.

A man can't even protect his own woman, so what face does he have to say that this is where a man's grievance lies.

However, his words and what happened to him resonated with Zhao Kuangyin, wondering if the old Zhao also encountered such a thing back then.

Back then when I was a poor boy, I fell in love with the daughter of Situ Zhouzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the two fell in love with each other.

However, due to the pressure, the two finally failed to come together and marry as a wife. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin hated himself for not being able to protect his woman.

This has also become one of the motivations for his progress in the future, and now someone has suffered more tragically than him.

At best, he could be regarded as a lover who cannot be together, but this commander is indeed the real hatred of taking his wife.

But he was still powerless, it was a great insult to a man, even Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to him.

"I also know about your affairs, and I will make the decision for you, but you also know what the purpose of my coming today is, I also said just now, don't let other emotions affect you, you just need to be realistic. "

"Remember not to exaggerate for me, otherwise you will know the consequences of being found out by me, and it is not something you, a small commander, can bear."

Zhao Kuangyin once again gave him a kind reminder, that is, you are not allowed to take personal revenge, just seek truth from facts.

"Yes, the villain will tell you what I know, and I will never add fuel to it..."

Zhao Kuangyin slammed a book in his hand on the case. This is not a book, but a "criminal evidence."

It was the criminal evidence that recorded Shi Shouxin's misdeeds, and it was the commander who handed it over to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin didn't feel anything at first.

But he was stunned when he opened it, this Shi Shouxin did things in such a disregard of the law, really, it shocked Lao Zhao.

Zhao Kuangyin doubted the authenticity of this thing when he got it, but later dispelled this doubt.

This was written by Shi Shouxin's late housekeeper, who said that the housekeeper was actually doing things for Zhao Kuangyin that he was not suitable for.

But recently he died of a strange illness, and he died like this in his prime, everyone was very surprised.

As for how this account book got into the hands of this commander, it is even more coincidental.

It turned out that Shi Shi Shouxin's butler was from the same town as him, and the relationship between the two was still good.

When they were drinking together a few days ago, the key told him that if something happened to him one day, he would ask him to take care of his family.

At the same time, tell him that if something happens to him, he will leave one thing and hand it over to the court if he has the chance.

At that time, he thought it was a drunken talk, but within a few days, the fellow really died. This made him feel that something was a little unusual.

He also took out something according to the instructions of the fellow, but he couldn't help but take a look and found that the things inside were really terrible.

He was going to destroy it, but before he could do it, his wife was snatched away.

I also wrote about my death first, and after a narrow escape, I finally came to attack the capital and handed this thing over to the emperor.

I didn't expect the emperor to be so angry after reading it. Zhao Xu didn't know what it was. He didn't read it. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin just said something and went back to the palace.

"What's the matter with the emperor, what's on it?" Miao Xun asked tentatively, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the palace and just looked at this thing without saying a word.

"Take it down and have a look at you. These people are really lawless." Zhao Kuangyin handed the thing to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu flipped through a few pages and handed him to Miao Xun. Anyway, there were only three of them in the hall, and Zhao Xu finally understood why Lao Zhao was so angry.

This is really not an ordinary book, it is a reminder, which records Shi Shouxin's illegal activities in recent years in detail.

Just take a few casual glances at Zhao Xu just now and remember these few things, and charge Li Xiangdi, who was left behind in Xijing, [-] yuan to arrange for his son to take the imperial examination high school.

Collecting [-] yuan from Right Guard General Shi Yanxin for his son Shi Leifei's imperial examination activities... Another one is to collude with the Jiedu envoy of the land to illegally smuggle and cut off the country's finances.

This is just so much information at a casual glance. This is a thick book, and there are so many crimes on it.

This is also unlikely to be a forgery. It even records who was at the scene at what time and where.

Every one of these things is a capital offense for ordinary people, and Zhao Kuangyin will be angry.

"Father, haven't you made up your mind after reading this? It is clearly written on it. These Jiedu envoys use the military power in their hands to seek personal gain for themselves. The court will be hollowed out by them. Take back the military power. .”

Originally, this was a well-established plan, but Zhao Kuangyin said wait, isn't it a bit unreasonable to do so.

Seeing these things now, Lao Zhao probably doesn't have any doubts, and now he should feel at ease.

At least Zhao Kuangyin feels better in his heart. You are not guilty anymore. These brothers don't know that because of a woman, they sent out their military power in advance.

In fact, in the final analysis, Zhao Kuangyin's withdrawal of military power was just a lack of a reason to convince himself, and now he has this reason.
