Chapter 568 Judge Gongsun, when did you destroy the Worriless Cave?Just today!

Inside Funing Palace.

The Queen Mother sat back on the couch, frowning, her head still buzzing.

Zhao Ji sat beside him and wiped his face, but there was still a different smell of saliva on his face.

Seeing that the official was so well-behaved, he smiled and patted the Queen Mother's hand: "Brother Eleven, it's fortunate that you can endure these remonstrances..."

Zhao Ji said in a low voice: "Taiwan's advice is also to be loyal to the country, and the child will certainly bear it."

He sighed to the Queen Mother: "You have a good temper, but the enthusiasm of the public this time is somewhat beyond my expectations. What do you think of the matter of Gongsun Judge?"

Zhao Ji said cautiously: "I don't know right or wrong, I just know that this matter is indeed too big..."

The early morning just now was really noisy.

All kinds of memorials to impeach Gongsun Zhao were reported like a snowflake, and the officials even kowtowed their heads directly to plead for orders. Look at that, maybe they should follow Ren Boyu's example and admonish him with death.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to get off the dragon chair to help him, and then he took a shower with the help of the spittle stars with more than a dozen mouths.

That taste... very strong!
As for Zhao Ji's conclusion, Queen Mother Xiang felt that it was reasonable. After getting along with him for a period of time, the child was so cowardly.

But for this answer, she was not satisfied, and taught: "The courtesy is not inferior to the common people, and the punishment is not superior to the doctor. They are so excited because Judge Gongsun did not give face to those criminals, and there is a difference between civil and military..."

"However, no matter if a fool breaks the law, it is written in the criminal law. It should be punished. What's more, right and wrong, the testimony of the crime is clear, this unreasonable trouble, must not be left alone!"

Zhao Ji said: "But Taiwan's admonishment asked for a posthumous title for Ren Zhengyan. Why didn't your mother agree? The deceased is dead. Even though Ren Zhengyan had some minor omissions before, he has been a country all his life and is loyal. If he does not grant a posthumous title, the group will be cold." With the heart of a minister, who will dare to speak up in the future?"

He said to the Empress Dowager: "It's not that it's not allowed, but it's not possible now. With a posthumous title, Ren Zhengyan's life can be concluded, and it can be used to challenge Judge Gongsun in an upright manner. This is their purpose."

Zhao Ji's eyes widened: "It turns out that's the intention...Your Majesty is wise!"

The Empress Dowager Xiang looked at the young official's sudden realization and felt very fulfilled. Finally, it was her turn to teach others: "Brother Eleven is kind-hearted, but these courtiers are not easy to get along with. Take a look at these memorials..."

She took out a memorial at random, and Zhao Ji opened it up for a closer look, and found that the text was difficult, full of allusions, and difficult to understand. Looking at the tall stack of memorials, his face suddenly changed.

He said to the Queen Mother: "Brother Eleven understands? According to the writing method of these courtiers' memorials, if you can't read ten copies, you will feel dizzy. If the two governments complain again, they should honestly entrust the political affairs to you. This is Their intentions! When you are in charge of the government in the future, you must not have goodwill towards these courtiers, they are always thinking of fighting against the imperial power!"

When Zhao Ji heard that he was in charge of the government, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down: "I dare not have such unreasonable thoughts!"

The queen mother was very satisfied with this attitude, and supported him: "I am old, and the world will be entrusted to you after all. You have become an official without the position of prince, and there are indeed many things that need to be learned." , it is not easy to be the master of the world, you should learn a lot from the old man!"

Zhao Ji listened to her three words about how she got her official position, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, but she immediately lowered her head and said, "I would like to follow your mother's instruction."

The queen mother took Zhao Ji's hand, read the memorials together, and watched how all the officials scolded Gongsun Zhao in different ways.

Just when the mother and son were enjoying themselves, the servants came to tell the prime ministers headed by Zhang Dun, please play if you have anything to do.

Empress Dowager Xiang didn't want to see her very much, but she also knew that she couldn't avoid it: "Allow them to enter the palace."

However, at this moment, another servant came in and reported: "Judge Gongsun asks for an audience."

Empress Dowager Xiang's complexion immediately changed: "What is he doing here? Didn't the old man tell him to investigate the case quickly, and everything was focused on eliminating thieves and arresting murderers? Now we are bumping into each other, so what should we do?"

Zhao Ji said: "My lady, according to my son's opinion, since this judge Gongsun is so upright, my lady can't discourage his loyal ministers. You might as well support him when you summon him."

Embarrassed to the Queen Mother: "Of course I support Judge Gongsun and completely wiped out Wuyou Cave, but the confrontation is no different. It is a strange story for a judge to confront the prime ministers. It seems that he can only be wronged first... ..."

At this time outside the palace, the two sides had indeed had a strange talk.

Four old purple-robed officials and one young scarlet-robed official arrived at Funing Palace almost in no particular order.

Both sides look at each other.

In Gongsun Zhao's eyes, the opposite is still Zhang Dun, Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, and Cai Bian who gathered together when the king of Yongjia County was killed.

At that time, Gongsun Zhao was recruited to be trained, and Zhang Dun also defended that the safety of the county king was not the judge's responsibility. He was asked to arrest the murderer, and the other three also agreed.

But this time, the harmonious atmosphere was gone.

Zhang Dun looked over carefully, and his voice could not hear any anger or anger: "Judge Gongsun's actions are so daring, they are truly terrifying for future generations!"

Han Zhongyan looked over coldly, but didn't say anything, just looked away.

Zeng Bu and Cai Bian's eyes were more pointed, with the scrutiny of civil officials who saw the military gaining power and guessed everything, and they were slightly embarrassed, as if some plans that had been brewing had been aborted.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zhao, except for the basic salutes, has always kept his eyes fixed. Whether it is his official qualifications, age or knowledge, he is all under these four. It is inappropriate to say anything at this time, so he simply doesn't say it.

And the prime ministers, relying on their identities, would not spend too much time talking in this place. There was an extremely oppressive silence outside the palace. After a quarter of an hour passed like a year, both parties were summoned into Funing Palace at the same time.

When seeing the Queen Mother for the first time, Zeng Bu and Cai Bian knelt down together, scrambling to say: "Gongsun Zhao is selfish, rebellious and helpless, he is accusing him of crimes, humiliating his superiors, and losing the dignity of the court. Look at the queen mother and the officials." The family should focus on it!"

"You two gentlemen please get up!"

Empress Dowager Xiang was not surprised, and ordered the internal officials to help the two of them up.

These two were very active in the early court before. By targeting Gongsun Zhao, they gained the support of a considerable number of courtiers. Now it is obviously a follow-up. , will go to the next level.

After the two had finished speaking, Han Zhongyan followed suit: "What Zeng Shumi and Cai Zuocheng said is reasonable, and I also think so."

Queen Mother Xiang was not surprised, and finally looked at Zhang Dun.

The old and firm Xianggong stood still, and responded with a sonorous voice: "The old minister thinks that whether Judge Gongsun enlisted the charges and framed Zhongliang needs to be investigated in detail, but the case is serious, and Wuyoudong is a big disaster for Bianjing. But all the officials who are involved with it have the responsibility to interfere with the judiciary, and they cannot be lenient. They should be tried by the three divisions, and after a detailed investigation, it will be made public, so that the government and the opposition will be convinced."

Zeng Bu and Cai Bian's expressions changed slightly, and Gongsun Zhao couldn't help but glance at Zhang Dun when he heard the words. He thought that the treatment he received must be blamed by thousands of people, but he didn't expect that Zhang Dun, as the prime minister, said But it is impartial and fair.

The Empress Dowager Xiang knew Zhang Dun's usual style, and she didn't buy anyone's fault even though she was more vigorous. Gongsun Zhao's matter was a big deal to others, but in Zhang Dun's eyes, it was nothing more than that. Now that there are too many people, twenty or thirty people are nothing, let's talk to him again after two or three hundred people.

But because of this, the Empress Dowager Xiang did not dare to follow what Zhang Dun said, and the situation would become uncontrollable. She first said ambiguously: "What you said is not unreasonable..."

Then he looked at Gongsun Zhao: "Judge Gongsun, you are impartial and abandon your personal feelings. I know it, but you are also impetuous in handling this case. Now all the officials have criticized you a lot. You can admit your mistakes and rest assured." Official heart!"

From the Empress Dowager's point of view, even if Gongsun Zhao is right, it is time to give in and compromise, first give the other party a step down, and then mediate from it to strive for the greatest degree of law enforcement.

However, Gongsun Zhao's answer was: "I would like to use the head of the thief in Wuyou Cave to reassure all officials!"

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard the words, and the queen mother was a little puzzled, Zhao Ji asked: "According to Judge Gongsun's words, is it possible that besides the criminals you are currently arresting, there are other people colluding with Wuyoudong, the evidence is convincing?"

When Gongsun Zhao heard this question, he wanted to raise his head, but he held back forcefully: "Report to the official family, the one I want to destroy is the Wuyou Cave thief!"

Zhao Ji's eyes flickered for a moment, and surprise and anticipation appeared on his face: "I look forward to the success of Judge Gongsun, and return with victory!"

But the four important ministers had another reaction. Zhang Dun showed disappointment, and said very displeasedly: "This century-old disease in Wuyou Cave cannot be eliminated overnight. How can we act recklessly to clear up and suppress?"

Zeng Bu commented: "Arrogance and arrogance, lost heart and nonsense!"

Cai Bian snorted: "Ridiculous! Really ridiculous!"

Han Zhongyan: "..."

Empress Dowager Xiang was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Let's take this matter slowly, Judge Gongsun must not be impulsive!"

Gongsun Zhaodao: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have thought carefully before meeting with you."

"Today, the guild and the Tiexue Building were sealed up and spread throughout the capital. The news must have spread to Wuyou Cave."

"The thieves are arrogant, relying on nothing more than the environment inside the cave, but they cannot be self-sufficient in food. In recent years, they have been relying on the outside world to provide them. Now they have suddenly lost their food supply. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. It must be a time when people are panicking. , No more officers and soldiers entered the cave to clean up the thieves, they have already let down their vigilance, and they were too late to guard against it, this is the weakness of the thieves..."

"On the other hand, my Kaifeng government office has drawn maps and has experience in the Qing Dynasty. The Imperial Boxing Gym in the capital was bestowed by Shenzong. There are heroes who volunteer to serve the country. They also have information to provide and guide the way. This is the strength of the imperial court. ..."

"This opportunity cannot be missed. I would like to lead two hundred fast-track archers and join three hundred elite forbidden troops to enter the cave to kill the thieves, so as to get rid of this century-old disease!"

At first, everyone listened carefully to what he said, but when they heard the last "Three Hundred Forbidden Army", Zhao Ji sighed softly, frowned at the Queen Mother, and the four important officials shook their heads again and again.

With such a small number of people, it's not enough to plug Wuyoudong's teeth?

Of course, it is useless if there are too many people. If you get lost in the winding passage, you will not be able to display your combat effectiveness at all. As far as the number of people is concerned, they are very calm and restrained, but on the other hand, they seem even more arrogant.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager wanted to stop him, Cai Bian's eyes showed ruthlessness, and he changed the topic: "Since Judge Gongsun has analyzed the situation of the enemy and us, he is already sure, and the number of soldiers he asks for is not too many, so why not set a deadline and when it will be done?" , the divisions of the DPRK and China will also cooperate!"

Zeng Bu also stroked his beard and said: "Judge Gongsun's words about suppressing thieves are really unconvincing. Whether it is a policy of delay is still a matter of opinion. Please tell me the time limit, so that all officials can supervise."

This is not only to force him to issue a military order, but also to prepare for "appropriate" cooperation and supervision.

Although they thought it was impossible for Gongsun Zhao to do what these ministers could not do, they still had to be on the safe side.

If this cold-faced judge really destroyed the Worriless Cave, then the previous attacks by the officials would become a joke.

The face of a scholar-bureaucrat will be trampled under the feet of a warrior, but the other party has destroyed the Wuyou Cave, and it will not be easy to target for a long time. This is absolutely unacceptable.

So as long as Gongsun Zhao said a deadline, it might become impossible with the court's style of work.

However, the next moment, everyone's expressions changed again.

Because Gongsun Zhao pursed his lips and said the deadline:
"Just today!"
