Chapter 134 Liquidation of Zhao Tingzhi

"Return the government edict!"

When the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Gao spread to the three divisions, all civil and military officials were shocked, and no one thought that Fan Zheng would actually persuade Empress Dowager Gao.

The civil and military officials personally verified it, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. This is indeed the imperial edict written by the Empress Dowager Gao.

"The Empress Dowager has long intended to return the government to the officials, but she was worried that the officials would not be able to grasp the important affairs of the country when they were young, so they set up a series of tests on purpose. The officials did not disappoint him. Only in this way can the great Song." Fan Zheng said nonsense solemnly.

The faces of the other important ministers twitched. When they went to persuade Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Dowager Gao did not have this attitude.

"The empress dowager is well-intentioned, and the officials are wise and martial, which is really a blessing of the Song Dynasty." All the ministers suddenly realized that, and the court was harmonious.

"The emperor's grandmother was dedicated to the country, she worked hard, and she also had the kindness of nurturing me. Although she returned to power, I could not treat her badly. I specially ordered her to move to the Qingshou Palace to enjoy her old age. I ordered the Taiyuan Hospital and the Chinese Medicine Hospital to unite the emperor's grandmother. Send famous doctors to treat the imperial grandmother with all their heart," said Zhao Xu.

"The doctor obeys!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I once remembered that Mr. Gao once wrote that the maternal bloodline is equal to the paternal bloodline, and the Gao family is also my relatives. He specially gifted Mrs. Cao as Mrs. Lu, and Gao Shixun and Gao Shilin were crowned kings. Both Hui and Gongji were promoted to the second rank, and the rest of the descendants of the Gao family will all be gracious."

Zhao Xu ordered again to reward Gao's family heavily and wantonly pursue Gao's family. However, the name seems to be grand, but it is actually a false name. Even Gao Gongji and others were promoted to the second rank, but they were promoted secretly, and they will no longer be in power. .

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty nodded slightly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Empress Dowager Gao was kind to them. If the Empress Dowager Gao had just returned to power, it would be unacceptable for them to liquidate the Gao family. The current situation is already happy.

"The empress dowager is old and eager to love her son, so she allowed Huainan Jiedu envoy Zhao Hao to return to Beijing once on the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, to do his filial piety for the emperor's grandmother."

………………

Zhao Xu's series of rewards and actions made all the officials secretly praise him, even Liu Zhi and Zhao Tingzhi couldn't fault it.

"Officials are benevolent and filial!"

Baiguan said with a look of emotion.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng couldn't help sighing that the officials who can be in the court must not only have talent, but also have acting skills. Yesterday, the ministers of the court accused Zhao Xu of being unfilial, but now that Zhao Xu is in power, the court praises the officials Benevolence and filial piety.

"Reporting to the officials, Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Tingzhi connived at his son's murder and secretly threatened and lured the boatman to give false testimony. His virtue is unworthy!"

"My minister impeached Liu Zhi, a scholar of the Guanwen Palace......

Censor Yang Wei sees the wind and turns the rudder, trying to figure out Zhao Xu's holy will, with full firepower, repeatedly impeaching the stubborn old-fashioned faction who followed the Empress Dowager Gao.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand.He can be lenient to the Gao family, but he is no longer merciful to these followers of the Empress Dowager Gao. He has already forced the palace, and these people actually intend to let the Empress Dowager Gao continue to listen to the government behind the curtain. Now that he is in power, it is natural to liquidate him .

"Liu Zhi, a scholar of Guanwendian, was demoted to Guangluqing, and knew Huangzhou."

Liu Zhi's heart was shocked, and he sighed, Guangluqing and Zhihuangzhou could be regarded as saving some face for him.

"Censor Zhongcheng didn't abide by the law and respected his hard work, so he demoted the deputy envoy of Xinzhou Tuanlian."

But Lu Dafang was not so lucky, he was directly demoted to the end, Xinzhou is the land of Lingnan, and Cai Que was exiled here at the beginning.

Zhao Tingzhi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked at Lu Dafang for help, hoping that Lu Dafang would save her again.

Lu Dafang ignored Zhao Tingzhi's look for help, if he hadn't acted according to circumstances, he might be included in the liquidation.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to drive King Yong Zhao Hao out of Kaifeng on behalf of the officials, and then took the initiative to express his support for Zhao Xu's pro-government.

Looking at the figure of Fan Chunren at the front, Lu Dafang signaled slightly, and the censor Yang Wei attacked again, impeaching Fan Chunren for his mediocrity during his administration.

Fan Chunren sighed in his heart, and took the initiative to stand out and said: "The old minister is ashamed to be the chief assistant. He failed to change the current situation and revitalize the Song Dynasty. He is willing to resign!"

"Fan Chunren has the shadow of Fan Wenzheng, that's all!" Lu Dafang sneered in his heart.

However, when he glanced at Fan Zhengzhi from the corner of his eye, his expression froze suddenly. Although Fan Chunren was conservative and dull, there were successors in the Fan family. left and right hands.

Zhao Xu's heart changed, and he didn't agree directly, but directly said: "I have just been in charge, and I have successively dismissed Yushi Zhongcheng and Guanwendian Bachelor, and Fan Xianggong resigned as Prime Minister, how do you make the world think of me?"

"The old minister dare not!" Fan Chunren cupped his hands and did not mention the resignation.

Lu Dafang's heart sank, he understood that Zhao Xu really cherished his reputation, and there might be another more important reason, that is, the backbone of the new party has not yet arrived in Beijing.

Sure enough, Wang Di, the new servant of the East Palace, stepped forward and said, "I have reported to the officials that Cai Xianggong is really wronged. The Che Gai Pavilion poem case was framed and slandered. Cai Xianggong is dedicated to serving the country and has no intention of ridiculing the court."

Hearing the words, Zhao Xu took advantage of the situation and said: "The style of writing in my Song Dynasty was at its peak, and there were countless people who wrote poems and lyrics. It is absurd to convict people with poetry. the right person."

"The officials are wise!"

Su Shi also felt sorry for him. Once upon a time, he was also attacked because of his poems. If he was convicted according to Cai Que's poems, I am afraid that it would not be a bad thing for him to be demoted to the ends of the world.

"Thank you, officials!" Wang Di bowed again.

Zhengyi Doctor is an official title in prose, which is equivalent to the position of Minister of the Six Departments, but its meaning is extraordinary, which shows that Zhao Xu is ready to vindicate the new party.

"New party!"

Above the court, the faces of the old parties changed. Empress Dowager Gao took power and carried out a large-scale liquidation of the new party. Now that Zhao Xu has ascended the throne, the new party will make a comeback. I am afraid that there will be another storm in the court.

Fan Chunren sighed in his heart, he would still be honorable if he took the initiative to resign, if the new party made a comeback, it might not be much better than Liu Zhi and others.

"Don't worry, dear friends, both the old and new laws are beneficial. After I take over the government, I will adopt any law that is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, and I will never allow any law that is harmful to the people."

Zhao Xu said proudly, he did not shy away from publicizing his determination to reform the law, and at the same time gave the old party of the Manchu Dynasty a reassurance.

"The officials are wise!"

The ministers complimented him and felt a little relieved.

..............................

"Cai is loyal to the country, but was slandered by villains, and now he is rehabilitated and restored to his position as a righteous doctor.

Too inside the hospital.

As soon as Wang Di came to court, he couldn't wait to come to Cai Que's hospital bed and tell him the good news.

However, Cai is now lying on the hospital bed, extremely weak.

He forcibly took the medicine of tiger and wolf. Although he was supported by the reflection of the light, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell down.

Hearing the news brought by Wang Di, Cai Que's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.At the last moment of his life, he was able to hear the news of being ordinary for himself, which is also a life-satisfying comfort.

"it is good!"

Cai Que spit out a word for a long time, and then there was no response.

Yuanyou eight years!The leader of the new party, Cai Que, passed away. His life was full of controversies, but he shed his last drop of blood for the new party and new laws.

After Zhao Xu got the news, he sighed for a long time, posthumously bestowed on Cai Que the title of Grand Master, posthumous title of Zhonghuai, and rewarded the Cai family's mansion with some money as a sign of grandeur.
