The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 614 Killing the Minister
"Come on, all the gentlemen will drink this cup with me to celebrate this victory of the Great Song Dynasty. I am very happy."

Zhao Kuangyin said that he would give a big banquet to the officials tonight, and now he is hosting the banquet, and the atmosphere is very warm.

"It's all Your Majesty's blessings and blessings, and it's all God's blessing to my Song Dynasty, and your majesty's blessings and blessings!" They are all good at flattering.

Moreover, these people all praised sincerely. The battle of Song Dynasty was fought very beautifully, and it was extremely smooth.

"Haha, don't just think about flattering me. It's also your credit. Without your hard work to stabilize Da Song, the soldiers on the front line wouldn't be able to serve Da Song with peace of mind, so this is also your credit!"

Zhao Kuangyin did not forget the credit of these ministers, and these ministers really did not cause him trouble at this stage.

Even the few people involved in the rebellion of Zhao Guangyi and Huang Fuxing were conscientious, which is what Zhao Kuangyin is most gratified about.

"Your Majesty, this is the responsibility of the ministers!"

"Zhao Pu, you are hosting here. I feel a little uncomfortable. Go back and rest for a while. You should all be happy. Today is my big Song day."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that there was something to leave, but the ministers were very happy, and they would not let go of the emperor's hands and feet to eat and drink here.

Zhao Kuangyin's leaving was just an excuse, and he also knew that these ministers would not let him go.

Zhao Kuangyin went straight back to his study. This study was not a study at all, and there were not many books here. It was just a place for Zhao Kuangyin to discuss matters.

"See Your Majesty!"

There was already someone waiting for him in the study, and when he saw Zhao Kuangyin, he immediately saluted, and Zhao Kuangyin waved his hands quickly.

"Didn't I tell you, sir, that in the future, if you are in private, you don't want these vain courtesy, you see that you are still like this."

This person is Miao Xun. He has been waiting here for Zhao Kuangyin. He doesn't like excitement. The emperor feasts his officials and he has no official position, so he didn't go.

It happened that Zhao Kuangyin had something to discuss with him, so he came here and waited for Zhao Kuangyin.

"There are some things that the emperor can ignore, but there are some things that the emperor must not underestimate. This etiquette is where the authority of the emperor cannot be wasted."

Miao Xun looked at Zhao Kuangyin as he spoke, as if there was something in his words, but he didn't know what he wanted to say!

"Oh, sir, what do you say, what is it that I must not underestimate?" Zhao Kuangyin also heard the meaning behind the words.

"Your Majesty also knows that although this small wound is not fatal, it can still cause a person to bleed to death; an insignificant and small hole on a ship may be fine for a while, but if it reaches the sea, it will cause serious damage. The ship was destroyed!"

"If some people's behavior is not stopped, it is very likely to cause disasters, so sometimes your Majesty has to do things you don't want to do."

What Miao Xun said earlier was irrelevant, but what he said later was the key point. He knew that Zhao Kuangyin also knew what he said.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin frowned at this time, it seemed that he knew about this, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

"Sir, what you said is that those people are still not settled down, and they are still doing some small tricks secretly, is that true?"

"The emperor is right. These people have always been under the surveillance of Su Yiwei. Recently, they are jumping up and down. Some of them still want to contact Khitan and Nantang."

Miao Xun controls Su Yiwei, these things are not difficult for him at all, so he knows very clearly.

Zhao Kuangyin's expression became more and more ugly. He knew what Miao Xun was talking about, but they were all somewhat involved in Zhao Guangyi's or Huang Fuxing's case.

At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin thought it was not good to kill so many people, so he let them go. Not only did he not pursue their faults, but he also let them return to their original posts.

Zhao Kuangyin hoped that through these, they could reform themselves and continue to work for the Song Dynasty, but these people were not only not grateful, on the contrary they were still thieves.

This is what makes him most angry. I gave you the opportunity and you don't cherish it. You really think your life is too long!

"Your Majesty, this is their record, please take a look." Miao Xun handed him a copy of the item directly, and then fell silent on his own.

"In March of Jianlong Yuan, he provided Khitan with information about the border defense of the Great Song Dynasty. In April, he made contact with envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty and revealed the secrets of the Yangtze River Navy..."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the incidents above, and it was written who, when, and witnesses were all written on it.What surprised him even more was that this time they were still thinking of attacking Zhao Xu.

It's for revenge, which makes Zhao Kuangyin so angry, you dare to deal with my son, you really don't know how to live or die!

It seems that it is not a good thing to be tolerant to you. Before Zhao Xu asked me to deal with you, I still hesitated, but now I don't hesitate.

"Sir, I don't want to see people here anymore. You can do what you see. Don't let them enter my prison. This is Mr. Lao."

Zhao Kuangyin's words frightened Miao Xun. Originally, Miao Xun thought that Zhao Kuangyin would arrest them and put them in prison. What he said was to let them die!

"Your Majesty, I know what to do now!" Miao Xun walked out, everyone thought Zhao Kuangyin was kind.

But they forgot that Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor, even though he inherited everything from the Later Zhou Dynasty, he was always the one who founded the country.

Throughout history, the founding emperor didn't crawl out of the dead. This Zhao Kuangyin is usually gentle and refined, but that doesn't mean he won't kill people.

"I will forgive you for everything, even if you collude with outsiders, but I will not make it easier for you to hurt my son."

After all, Zhao Kuangyin was a father, just like Liu Che killed the prince unjustly at that time. When he learned the truth later, those who persecuted the prince were all killed.

Just like what he said, you let me lose my son in my old age, and I let you die of children and grandchildren, this is what Zhao Kuangyin thinks now.

It was my mistake to keep you in the past, and you still wanted to murder my prince, how could you bypass you.

The next day, when going to court, a minister came to report that more than 30 officials in the city died in his study yesterday.

It looks like suicide, because under each person's body is a letter of repentance, and the crimes they committed are also written on it.

Suicide, this is all nonsense, who wants to die like this, people who know some rumors know that this is the meaning of the emperor, this is also the first time that the emperor of Song Dynasty killed ministers on such a large scale, in order to give other people some warnings .
