Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 710 It's All Acting

Cheng Chu's face was a little ugly, he bowed his head and said, "I will find out."

"It's not your fault. Why did you take yourself in the palace?" Zhao Huan looked at Cheng Chu still biting the question.

And Cheng Chu glanced at the official family with a little doubt. This civil servant made a mistake, and the military commander took the blame. Isn't this the norm in the Song Dynasty?

Why do the officials keep asking, and don't let go?

"The official family, the matter of the head of the state." Zhao Ying carefully reminded the official family of the past. Zhu Lian's father, Zhu Bocai, was kicked out of the court only a few months ago.

"I know. I just want to ask Cheng Chu what he thinks." Zhao Huan looked at Cheng Chu and said, "You are a personal servant, subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and belong to the inner court. Why do you have to take this responsibility?"

"I know I made a mistake." Cheng Chu bowed his head and said, only then did Cheng Chu realize that he had made a mistake, and he made the officials fall into a passive state.

Zhao Huan finally let out a heavy breath, and watched Cheng Chu's anger.

Under the circumstances at that time, if Cheng Chu didn't take the blame, Zhao Huan was prepared to lose his temper, and after a thorough investigation, Zheng Wangzhi naturally couldn't afford to walk around.

This fellow's victory in the Great Song Dynasty was a matter of trumpeting a peace negotiation.

In the rebellion case of King Su and King Jing, this person was more or less present, but there was no direct evidence.

Why Su Wang's family hanged Zhongting is still an unresolved matter. Zhao Huan has been trying to find out the person behind the scenes with such great energy.

Cheng Chu took the responsibility according to the usual practice, which invisibly disrupted Zhao Huan's pace of purging the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Huan leaned on his seat, looked at Cheng Chu's terrified face, and knew that Cheng Chu followed the usual practice and said angrily, "You, since you have taken this responsibility, I have to punish you. In this way Well, half a year's salary will be fine."

"Actually, this is also good. You keep this matter in mind, arrange for your own officials to thoroughly investigate this matter, and don't let go of any clues behind it. What I want to investigate is not just Zheng Wangzhi. Wang rebelled, and set up an investigation with this case."

Cheng Chu is not a stupid person, Zhao Huan's words are equivalent to express words, Cheng Chu naturally knows that the officials have not let go of the matter of King Su not long ago.

Penalizing half a year's salary is not an easy punishment, at least for a bachelor like Cheng Chu, he will have to marry at least half a year later.

"Thank you for your benevolence." Cheng Chu bowed his head and said thank you.

He thought that he, the commander of the fifth rank, could no longer keep it. He didn't expect the official to lose his temper, but he didn't directly dismiss him.

This is not benevolence, what is it?
Zhao Huan gestured to Zhao Ying with his eyes, wanting the horse to run, but not letting the horse eat grass, this is not Zhao Huan's style. At this time, the role of the emperor's first dog leg was revealed.

Zhao Ying looked at the official's family suspiciously. He didn't understand this look, but after thinking about it for a while, he followed Cheng Chu out of Wende Hall.

"Commander Cheng, stop." With ghostly speed, Zhao Ying floated to Cheng Chu's side before he finished speaking.

Cheng Chu saluted hastily and said, "I've seen Zhao before."

Zhao Ying walked forward slowly, and said to Cheng Chu: "I heard that the old mother at home has been ill recently? Penalty for half a year, it's not easy to endure this half a year."

"We all know the lesson, the fine for half a year, and my mother's illness..." Cheng Chu's face was extremely embarrassed and somewhat unbearable.

It is reasonable to say that the families who are poor and rich in martial arts are rich and noble, but that is not always the case. For example, Yue Fei's family is very ordinary, and Cheng Chu's family is also very ordinary.

At the beginning, Shen Cong persuaded him to study.

In the environment of the Song Dynasty, reading is the best way out. If you can't read books, you will embark on the road of being a thief and serving the army.

"Commander Cheng, the official asked me to come because I heard about you. This is five hundred silver dollars, which can be exchanged at various banks in the Song Dynasty. It can meet the family's expenses for the past six months." Zhao Yingtao Out of a money quote, said with a smile.

Zhao Ying felt that she was not mistaken this time. The official's intention was to punish Cheng Chu on the surface and ask him to make up for it behind the scenes.

The matter of Cheng Chu's mother's illness was mentioned once when Li Qingzhao wrote to the official. He didn't know if the official took it to heart, but he remembered it and used it to buy people's hearts.

"The official is benevolent." Cheng Chu finally accepted the money quote, a penny is hard for a hero, he is not willing to do something dishonest for a little money.

Zhao Ying happily patted Cheng Chu on the shoulder and said, "Also, Cheng Chu, the officials just asked you repeatedly why you took this responsibility."

"Actually, I just want to tell you that standing behind you is the emperor of our Great Song Dynasty, the heaven of our Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing to be afraid of, what is he afraid of, Zheng Wangzhi!"

Cheng Chu said with a little doubt: "The matter of Zhu Guozhang..."

"That's also a foreign minister. You don't understand the twists and turns. Let me tell you about it slowly." Zhao Yingxu talked to Cheng Chu, a big soldier, and popularized why Zhu Bocai was a foreign minister, while he The reason why Cheng Chu is a courtier.

"I see, thank you Zhao Duzhi for your guidance." Cheng Chu suddenly realized that he, the commander, turned out to be an internal minister, not a foreign minister as he had always thought.

"Naturally, your salary comes from the internal funds, not from the national funds, so why should you be considered a foreign minister!" Zhao Ying said with a face of reason, he suddenly looked left and right, and there was no one around. , said cautiously: "The officials are so brooding over King Su's death that they sometimes can't sleep at night, you understand what I mean."

"The official asked you to check not only for water leaks, but also to find out who wanted the official to move the place. Do you understand?" Zhao Ying's voice was very small and eager, and she drifted away after speaking .

Cheng Chu stared, he thought that what Zhao Ying said about moving the place in the court hall was a slip of the tongue, and then he realized that Zhao Ying might have said that on purpose in the court hall.

"Here, Shen Cong, persuade me to study, and go to the northern region to lead soldiers to fight, so happy, leave me in the court, what kind of monsters and ghosts are there in the court! I am a rough person, it is too difficult. No, I I also want to persuade people to study." Cheng Chu muttered and left.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying who was smiling, and said angrily: "You can still laugh, the rain leaked originally, and it also leaked during Renzong's reign. If it's a big deal, you just move the place, but you will be agitated." The inner court and the outer court are entangled."

"Take back your fighting spirit in the inner court and the outer court. Your acting skills almost deceived me."

Zhao Ying asked with some surprise: "The official forgives the crime, and the minister is also sharing the official's worries. This person must be found. How did the official know that the minister said that on purpose?"

"I was just a little suspicious at first. You look like a miser all day long. You are happy to ask you to pay for it today. I am sure." Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying. This guy's acting skills are similar to Yu Wenxu's Did you study in middle school?
"Is it so obvious?" Zhao Ying asked dumbly.

"There is also the matter of Cheng Chu's mother's serious illness, you can take me to give condolences." Zhao Huan suddenly remembered the matter of Cheng Chu's mother's serious illness, and said hastily.

Zhao Ying was really surprised this time. Li Qingzhao said it once before, and the officials remembered it in his heart. He bowed his head and said: "The benevolence of the officials can be learned from heaven and earth."

"Pat less horses." Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

He always kept in mind the fact that Zhao Kai's six thousand relatives entered the palace.

Whoever controls the palace garrison has the right to speak.

This is also a lesson of history, and the Tang Dynasty is a ready-made example.
