Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 744 City Gate Standing Timber

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the city gate of Bianjing had just opened.

A strong man from the palace carried a thick and long wooden stake to the city gate, and drove the wooden stake in next to the city gate opening.

The people passing by were curious about why a stake was set up at the city gate, but no one dared to ask.

Finally, the guards who were guarding the city couldn't help but asked.

"Hey! Brother? Why are you building a wooden stake here so early in the morning?"

Just as the soil around the wooden pile was compacted, one of the strong men turned around and replied:

"I heard from the father-in-law in the palace that this wooden stake is for binding people. It seems that it was ordered by His Majesty himself!"

"Hiss! His Majesty gave the order personally? Tsk tsk, who is this person to be tied up? His Majesty actually gave the order personally!"

The guard suddenly gasped in shock.

"How did I know this? We are just working people. This thing is not light. We carried it out as soon as the palace confinement was lifted in the morning. It took more than an hour to carry it.

However, I heard that the granddaughter of my cousin's third uncle's son who was sent to the palace said that His Majesty seemed to have arrested a big shot from outside, but I don't know who it was. "

"That's it."

The guard nodded in understanding. Watching them continue to work, he couldn't help but think about who this big shot is, who actually received His Majesty's "care"?

The people nearby heard the general idea, but they also knew that the wooden stake was actually intended to be used by the emperor to tie up a certain big shot, and they immediately started talking.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Bianjing that the emperor had set up a stake at the door and was going to tie up a certain big shot.

The officials in the court were all frightened when they heard it, because the news had changed when it reached their ears.

From the emperor setting up a stake at the city gate to tie up some important person who was captured, the emperor has set up a stake at the city gate, ready to wait for any minister to sing a different tune in the court or do something bad. He was tied to the city gate and shown to the public!

This immediately frightened the officials who had ulterior motives.

So, when the officials went to court the next day and Wang Huai'en finished singing the ceremony, the entire court suddenly fell into silence.

No one dared to come out, or said that those who dared to come out were fine, and those who did not dare to come out did not dare to say anything.

Looking at the strange atmosphere in the court, Zhao Jun felt a little strange and nodded to Wang Huai'en.

Wang Huaien hurriedly repeated the chant.

"You have the foundation to start a memorial, but you have no foundation to retreat from the court!"

It was still quiet down there.

This left Zhao Jun confused.

Dang Ji could only take the initiative and said: "What? Is it possible that all my dear friends have nothing to report today?

Is it possible that there are no problems in the Song Dynasty today and everything is going smoothly? "

Upon hearing his inquiry, all the officials below looked at each other.

After a while, someone finally had the courage to stand up and ask: "Your Majesty, I heard today that your Majesty set up a wooden stake outside Bianjing yesterday to tie up ministers you didn't like. Is this true?" Is it true?"

Zhao Jun was also stunned when he first heard his question.

Why am I bothering you by erecting a pillar?

Do you have to take care of this?

Are you officials too idle? Looking for trouble day by day.

But when he heard that he said that the pillar was intended to be used to tie ministers who refused to listen to him, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "My dear friends, you may have misunderstood. That pillar is not used to tie ministers."

clear!

At the moment when Zhao Jun's words came out, Zhao Jun actually clearly heard the sound of heavy exhalation from the court hall. How many people were relieved at the same time!

The person who stood up to ask seemed to be a little bolder at this moment, and continued to ask: "Then I want to know why your Majesty set up a wooden stake at the city gate?"

"Tie someone up!"

Zhao Jun took it for granted.

"Hiss!" There was another gasp.

The hearts of the officials below were lifted again.

The face of the person who had just asked was also stiff, but he still insisted on asking, but his words could not hide the trembling fear: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that it is not used to tie up ministers?"

Zhao Jun didn't understand why they were like this again, so he could only say:

"I have said that he is not used to kidnap ministers, but I have not said that he is not used to kidnap people. What are you all thinking?"

clam?

A big question mark appeared on everyone's head. Zhao Jun also looked at the group of idiots below in confusion. After a while, he suddenly realized what was going on and laughed.

"Hahahaha! I understand. Do you all think that the wooden stakes at the gate of the city were erected for you?"

The officials below quickly lowered their heads.

Zhao Jun laughed and explained: "That's for Ding Nie."

As soon as the words "Ding Nie" came out, the officials who were a little ashamed just now were suddenly shocked.

Someone immediately asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by your Majesty, this Ding Nie has been captured by your Majesty?"

Zhao Jun did not continue to hide it, and simply nodded and admitted.

A few days ago, the men I sent out caught up with the fleeing Ding family in Haifu County.

After a siege, everyone else in the Ding family was killed on the spot, but Ding Nie, the head of the Ding family, was captured alive.

I think it won't be long before the former lieutenant returns to Bianjing. "

Zhao Jun deliberately emphasized his tone when he mentioned the word "former Taiwei", and all the officials could understand His Majesty's mood.

It is because of the Ding family that the Song Dynasty became what it is today.

It is normal for Your Majesty to have resentment towards Ding Nie.

Coupled with the pillars standing at the entrance to Bianjing City, everyone could not help but pray secretly for Ding Nie, fearing that the former Taiwei would be played to death by the Holy Emperor.

But they were not sympathetic at all.

Because the Xiongnu destroyed the city, not only the people of Bianjing were harmed and suffered losses, but even they could not avoid it.

As Beijing officials, they are almost rooted in Bianjing.

They spent their entire lives here. When the Huns were about to go bankrupt, they had no choice but to abandon them completely in order to escape.

After the court cleared the property and returned it to its original owners, more than half of the shops in Bianjing were left unclaimed.

No one dares to claim it, otherwise the court will ask you how you can buy a shop in Bianjing with your salary level.

Therefore, the state treasury received the title deeds of nearly half of the shops for free.

Therefore, officials like them also hate the Ding family with great hatred!

Immediately someone said: "Your Majesty, Song traitors like the Ding family who colluded with the Huns must not be allowed to die easily, otherwise I would be sorry for the thousands of people who were persecuted by the Xiongnu, and I would be sorry for the late Emperor and the late Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty!"

"You can rest assured on this, I will not make it easy for him."

Zhao Jun made a guarantee, and everyone was satisfied.

After solving the problem of erecting trees at the city gate, all the officials were in a much better mood, and the following morning court went smoothly.

Not long after the court meeting dispersed, the news that the head of the Ding family, who had caused the Xiongnu invasion, was captured and would be transported back to be tortured soon spread throughout Bianjing City.

When the people learned about it, they all hurriedly started to prepare, vowing to give this bastard who made almost every house in their house an unforgettable memory!

At this time, Ding Nie, who was being escorted to Bianjing on the ship, had no idea what kind of scene he was about to face.
