Chapter 540 How dare you?
"Brother Eleven, sit down!"

"My son doesn't dare!"

"What do you call a child minister? If you are not close to the old man, you should call yourself a minister. If you recognize the old man as your mother, you should call yourself a child... Come, sit next to the old man."

"The child will obey the mother's order."

In the Funing Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiang was still sitting on the imperial couch, but Zhao Ji sat next to her for the first time. The mother and daughter held hands and talked, showing the intimacy of a loving mother and son.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, there is indeed a touch of kindness. She had no children in her life. Her only daughter was smart and bright since she was a child. Unfortunately, she died of illness at the age of twelve. She was so sad that she almost collapsed. Shenzong stopped court for five days and made love with her Female funeral.

Then Zhe Zong, who was not her own, ascended the throne, and her relationship with him was very cold, and there was a tendency to suppress it. Until now, when the tragedy happened, she experienced an unprecedented mother-child relationship from Zhao Ji.

In such an atmosphere, Gongsun Zhao and Ren Boyu walked into the hall: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother! I pay my respects to the officials!"

Zhao Ji stopped his voice immediately and fell silent. He was very satisfied to see the Queen Mother, and patted his palm lightly as a sign of encouragement, and then said solemnly: "Excuse me!"

The old Ren Boyu got up first and said: "The old minister has something to play!"

The news of Bianjing spread very quickly, not only from inside the palace, but also from outside the palace. The Empress Dowager Xiang already knew Ren Boyu's purpose at this time, and said indifferently: "Zuzao!"

Ren Boyu's long sleeves fluttered slightly, and his back, which seemed rickety due to poverty on weekdays, straightened up, which immediately added a sense of justice: "I wait for Fuwen, the magistrate of Kaifeng's government, Gongsun Zhao, has a fierce talent, uses wit to control people, and hides evil. , using threatening words for self-scheming, and using evil tactics to gain favor..."

Xiang Tai listened expressionlessly, her left ear went in and her right ear went out.

As a superior person, sometimes you can choose to listen to the words of the Taiwan counselor, but most of the time it can only be regarded as farting. Otherwise, all the courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty except for the censor will have serious crimes, especially the prime minister, who is the favorite of the counselor. Even if he insisted on the prime minister's fault, even the contents of the folk rumors were moved over for impeachment regardless of the authenticity.

In comparison, Gongsun Zhao was able to enjoy the impeachment of the official, which shows that his status has been improved, and he is no longer a low-level official. This change is undoubtedly brought about by the appreciation of her queen mother.

Look at Gongsun Zhaolai from the Queen Mother.

Yesterday was emotionally turbulent, and I gave the reward on the spur of the moment. When I calmed down, the queen mother couldn't help but regret it. If there were any twists and turns in this case, it would be the empress dowager's face that would be damaged, but the scarlet robe bestowed was not It may be taken back immediately, so it is appropriate to borrow Ren Boyu to beat and beat.

Ren Boyu, citing the scriptures, spoke up and down for a full quarter of an hour, and finally concluded: "Every sentence of the old minister's crimes is true. I hope the Queen Mother will prevent it and put Gongsun thief in jail. Such thieves must not be allowed to serve in the Kaifeng government office." !"

The Queen Mother happened to ask, "Judge Gongsun, what do you have to say?"

In her expectation, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion should be sincere and sincere, kowtow to plead guilty, be magnanimous, and refute Ren Boyu's impeachment, and then the judge should swear a poisonous oath, quickly solve the case and arrest the murderer, and a set of procedures will be completed.

However, Gongsun Zhao said with a cold face, without hesitation: "I think that what Ren Zhengyan said is a sophistry to defend his own mistakes. As a judge, I have no right to impeach, but I also want to denounce it as false. Talking about useless affairs is detrimental to the country and the people!"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Empress Dowager Xiang was stunned, Ren Boyu was stunned, and even Zhao Ji, who had nothing to do with himself on the couch, looked over.

What a ferocious group of Yanguan, a mere Kaifeng magistrate, actually impeached them in turn?
How dare you?
The first one to jump up was undoubtedly Ren Boyu. He pointed at Gongsun Zhao's nose and opened his mouth wide to scold: "Thief, how dare you? How dare you!!"

Gongsun Zhao took a step back to avoid the spray of saliva.

He is not retreating, on the contrary, because when Bao Zheng was the censor, he sprayed Renzong with saliva, and Renzong could only accept it. It was a good story for a while. Can endure, compared with the official, this is an unmistakable confrontation.

My saliva, even the Son of Heaven suffers, why do you avoid it?

Ren Boyu was shaking with anger, while Gongsun Zhao looked back at the old man coldly.

The most unacceptable thing for him was Ren Boyu's tone of heart when he was impeached.

If he is a treacherous villain with duplicity in appearance, then that's fine. Gongsun Zhao has also been abused a lot and has long since ignored him, but Zuo Zhengyan's attitude made him feel sincerely disgusted.

It's obviously my own fault, so why should I justly and confidently turn black and white?
It was only at this time that the Empress Dowager Xiang fully realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of control. Thinking of the reputation of these admonishers in the scholarly circle, her first thought was to shrink back and suppress this matter.

But just as he was about to speak, he found a gaze looking at him, it was Zhao Ji who was sitting beside him.

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and hesitated again.

And just at this moment, Gongsun Zhao had already reported: "The minister has a file to submit, which is related to the truth about the murder of King Yongyang, and I hope the Queen Mother will investigate it in detail!"

The servant presented the case file, saw the thick stack, frowned at the queen mother and said, "Judge Gongsun, why don't you just say it, what's written in it?"

Gongsun Zhaodao: "Early before Yongyang County King was killed, his servant Xiang Bashen died. The female servants under this man were bought from Wuyou Cave. The villains who came and went died, and I speculate that the king of Yongyang County also has a connection with Wuyou Cave."

Empress Dowager Xiang's complexion changed, Wuyou Cave was the place where women from Bianjing talked about it, and her voice became sharp: "My brother has always been pure and kind, how can it be related to that thief's cave?"

Gongsun Zhao pursed his lips, and did not refute the character of the county king, but continued: "Now that the county king has been killed, according to various signs, the murderer is likely to come from Wuyou Cave. The previous cases in Beijing are just omens!"

The Empress Dowager's expression froze, and she said word by word: "You mean, the younger brother of the old man was saved?"

Gongsun Zhaodao: "I don't dare to make a statement, but it may change. If this matter is taken seriously, it will not be dismissed by Ren Zhengyan in a hurry!"

Ren Boyu was still furious, and his pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this: "What did you say? How dare you shift the responsibility for the death of the county king to this old man?"

Gongsun Zhaodao: "Did the lower official evade it? Could it be that Ren Zhengyan didn't know? Before the incident happened, the lower official visited the mansion and submitted the case file. Did Ren Zhengyan read it carefully?"

Immediately looking at the Empress Dowager with eyes mixed with sadness and anger, Ren Boyu's complexion changed, and he still snorted coldly after all: "The old man has never been famous all his life, how could he lie like a thief like you? Yes, the old man did not read the case file carefully. Because of your demonic words to confuse the public, using non-existence as existence, and falsehood as reality, this is the consistent method of the Imperial City Secretary, the old man does not believe what you say at all!"

Gongsun Zhao said coldly: "I was valued by the late emperor, and it has been eight years since I entered Kaifeng government office as a magistrate. Ren Zhengyan ignored my eight years as a magistrate, and only looked at my background in the imperial city in my early years. How can I talk about being so selfish?" clear name?"

Ren Boyu was furious: "It's nonsense. In the early years, you were the minions of the imperial city, and you were greedy for profit. How could you change? The judge for eight years also harbored evil intentions. Wait for the right time. A scheming thief like you, I can't tolerate you!"

Gongsun Zhao was very angry: "How do you know what I think? I have been a judge for eight years, I have worked hard, and I have never complained. How did it come out of your mouth that I turned into harboring evil intentions and waiting for the right time?"

"okay!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to turn into cursing, the servants in the palace secretly looked sideways at the brave man who dared to confront the speaker, and they didn't stop until they sternly shouted at the queen mother.

Ren Boyu's face turned blue, and he was gasping for anger: "Evil thief! Evil thief!!"

Gongsun Zhao said: "It's up to the Queen Mother and the officials to judge right and wrong!"

After drinking to the Queen Mother, looking at the two of them, he hesitated again.

Emotionally, she supports Gongsun Zhao, and realizes that Gongsun Zhao is right, but for the sake of a judge in the Kaifeng government office, it seems too unworthy to offend the huge group of officials and the scholars behind it.

But if he supports Ren Boyu, when he thinks of his younger brother who is separated from yin and yang, the empress dowager's eyes turn red, and he is very sad again, muttering: "It turns out that my old brother shouldn't have been murdered by thieves, he is so wronged! Ren Zhengyan , as Dazong Zhengcheng, it is about the safety of the county king, why don't you take a closer look at the case file?"

Ren Boyu's heart sank, the Queen Mother actually only thought about her younger brother, and completely disregarded justice?
Thinking that he was clearly here to impeach Gongsun Zhao, but was actually attacked by this thief in turn, this Zuo Zhengyan stared at him, and suddenly shouted: "The traitor deceived the public and the queen mother with his evil words, and the old man has been innocent all his life. How can he be punished?" The stigma!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward with his old body and slammed into a pillar next to him.

Desire to die!

"what!!!"

There was an exclamation in the hall, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, implying anticipation, and the Queen Mother screamed: "Stop it! Stop it!"

The official slammed his head against the pillar to death, and the government and the public hadn't blown the pot, how the history books would remember her, I couldn't even imagine.

The one who reacted the fastest was undoubtedly Gongsun Zhao, who had the strongest martial arts.

In the past, he would have turned a blind eye to it, seeing that the impeachment would fail, and he would be killed head-on. Touted as a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, he immediately made a move and flew over.

His path is better to be found in the straight than in the melody, even in the face of this group of domineering officials!
But at the same time, only by paying attention to methods in dealing with people and having a greater right to speak can we better punish rape and eliminate evil!
This is what his elder brother taught him, not only to have firm beliefs, but also to be flexible.

Ever since, in the chaos, Gongsun Zhao pushed Ren Boyu to the ground, and as he wished, he heard the old man below him crying: "Let go of me! My name has been clean all my life, how can I be tainted! How can I be tainted!" !"

Gongsun Zhao lowered his head and quietly made a hesitant sound.

The judge with a cold face laughed out loud for the first time.
