King of Song

Chapter 662
In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Xu was reading the memorabilia sent by Yushi Zhongcheng Li Ding.

This is a report on the progress of the Su Shi case. Su Shi admitted that he satirized the reform, but he did not admit that he contemptuous of the court. This result is not very ideal.

Facing the strong backlash from the officials, Zhao Xu hoped that the evidence would be conclusive.Then Zhao Zhao was involved again, and the threat was resolved with gentle means.He never thought about whether Zhao Zhao would be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and the ideas in his mind were temporarily in an ideal state.

But Zhao Zhao didn't get involved, but quite a few ministers were shot while lying down.Zhao Xu was surprised when he saw Li Ding's memorial. How could so many people have something to do with Su Shi's case?

Originally, he was not willing to believe it, but Li Ding had a note in the back.What is the relationship between a certain person and Su Shi, and what kind of relationship they have on a certain day in a certain year.As for the sources, some are the investigation results of Yushitai, and some are Su Shi's voluntary confession.

Roughly speaking, there are as many as 70 to [-] people, many of whom are ministers of the dynasty or people with prominent family backgrounds.

Zhao Xu was shocked. Are these people, like Su Shi, willing to favor King Qin?For a moment, suspicion came to mind.

But after a while, he calmed down, and felt that this would not be the case, but...Zhao Xu looked at the list and felt apprehensive, suspecting that as long as it was planted, it would continue to grow wildly.

How to reuse these people in the future?Can you still trust them?Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable.In the past two years, he has been tormented to be a little neurotic and extremely sensitive.

Sima Guang, Wang Shen, these people were all on the list, and Zhao Xu later discovered Han Qi's name.

Could it be that Han Qi also has a problem?
This is a character strongly recommended by my mother, who is to be entrusted with important tasks for the prime minister.If Han Qi has an unclear relationship with Su Shi, and then with the King of Qin, then...

Although Han Jun's death was related to Zhao Zhao, why didn't it have anything to do with him?It's really hard to say who Han Qi hates more.What's more, after all, they are only nephews, not sons, and whether there is really a sworn hatred between them is unknown.

Does Han Qi still dare to use it with confidence?

Also, the most urgent thing is how to deal with Su Shi?

Now it is impossible to kill, cannot let go, very difficult problem!
When Lu Huiqing and the others did this, didn't they consider some consequences and corresponding countermeasures?Zhao Xu's initial joy has faded, replaced by boredom and resentment!
The reaction of all the officials was too great, and it must be a respectful request to the Holy Tribunal in the end.

How to judge?

Wang Gui took a line of Su Shi's poem "There is no song from the root to the nine springs, and only the dragon knows the coldness of the year", and said convincingly: "The dragon is a flying god, so how can it be underground? This is a curse on officials. Su Shi has the heart of disobedience, he should be severely punished!"

Cursing the king is to destroy the nine clans, and Wang Gui clearly wants to put Su Shi to death.Zhang Dun, who came back from Xihe Road to report on his work, was very contemptuous. He was a native of Sichuan, but he was so cruel to his fellow countrymen behind his back. It was simply...

Su Shi and him were good friends in the same year, and they have been working together in the Northwest for a long time, so how could they sit idly by?Zhang Dun said: "Your Majesty, dragons do not only exist in the sky, nor do they refer to kings. Zhuge Kongming was known as Wolong, and the Xun family of Yingchuan in the late Han Dynasty was known to have eight dragons... Su Shi's poem is just chanting about juniper trees. Please learn from your majesty." !"

Zhang Dun said something fair, and he also meant to rescue the officials. If this continues, the situation will get worse and worse, and it will be difficult to end.

But the sensitive Zhao Xu suddenly became suspicious, and Zhang Dun interceded for Su Shi as soon as he opened his mouth.He had just returned from the Northwest, and asked him to inquire about news and find ways to build strength, but in the end he found almost nothing.That's all for being incompetent, what I'm afraid of is that he will be rebelled by King Qin.I heard that when he was in the northwest, Su Shi personally accompanied him to appease the Qiang people. Will there be...

Zhao Xu was almost driven crazy, his nervousness reached a certain level, and everyone seemed to have a problem.Ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, are there any available people?
With a wave of his hand, Wang Gui and Zhang Dun left wisely, and Zhao Xu was completely speechless holding a list in his hand.

"Does the government want to punish all of them?" After a long time, the empress dowager's torrential voice broke the dead silence in the Chuigong Palace.

"My lady..."

"Stop it, enough is enough!"

Zhao Xu asked suspiciously: "Is that the way to go? The mobilization of the army and the arrest of Su Shi made such a big commotion, if it is easy to stop, what will the ministers think?"

"Stop it now, the ministers will only congratulate and praise the officials for their sage and benevolence!"

"is it?"

"Isn't it?" Gao Taotao asked back: "If it continues, the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty will be implicated? How will it end then? Should they all be blamed, or the law will not punish the public, let it go."

"This……"

"Before the situation gets out of hand, hurry up and control it so that it doesn't become a farce!" Gao Tao said, "Just investigate the key people, and ask the crime as appropriate."

"But over there in Chang'an..." At this moment, it's not good to delay for a long time, and it's not good to solve it quickly. Zhao Xu just wants to wait for Zhao Zhao to make a move, and then find an opportunity to deal with it.

Gao Taotao said coldly: "Where in Chang'an? Throwing Su Shi to Bianjing is his tactic. I have heard about it when he came here. He publicly stated that if Su Shi is really convicted, he must be severely punished. The person who wants to blame him also wants to ask the crime, can you see how cruel he is?"

"I heard that Su Shi confessed to some people..."

"Is there Han Qi right?"

"Yes!"

"No matter who Su Shi confesses to, will he be punished?" Gao Taotao asked another rhetorical question, leaving Zhao Xu at a loss as to how to answer.

Gao Taotao continued: "What if Su Shi grabs and bites other people indiscriminately? At that time, only one Su Shi will be sacrificed in Chang'an. How much will you lose? Is it possible to kill all the high-ranking officials in Bianjing?

After all, Wang Shen is your brother-in-law, Sima Guang is a veteran of the three dynasties, and Han Qi is even more worthy of great use. How could these people turn their backs so easily?Do you think it is appropriate to blame them for a poem? "

"So, he did it on purpose..."

Gao Tao said: "That's right, he deliberately threw Su Shi to you, using your hands to kill people, and provoke the dissatisfaction of civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats, creating chaos, and fishing in troubled waters!"

"If that's the case..." Zhao Xu muttered to himself, only to feel that his chest was extremely tight and his breathing was a little difficult.

Gao Taotao didn't notice the strangeness of his son, and continued: "People like Lu Huiqing and Li Ding can do small things, but for big things, they are short-sighted and only focus on petty profits. Their means are despicable, and sooner or later they will miss big things. , I think you can see clearly, who is the available talent, and who can turn the tide."

Zhao Xu listened quietly, and finally grasped the edge of the throne tightly with both hands, his face flushed.

Gao Taotao didn't hear the eldest son's answer, but when he looked back, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked, "Zhongzhen, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xu didn't speak, but spurted a mouthful of blood as an answer, and then fell off the throne, unconscious!

"Zhongzhen!" Gao Taotao exclaimed, and shouted: "Quickly send the doctor!"

Xiao Hai, who was waiting on the side, took the order and rushed out immediately...
