Chapter 93 Qi Mu: "You, you... Lord, spare my life!" (Subscribe)
[The previous chapter was revised and was reviewed for a long time, but it’s not a big problem]

Zhou Yi sneered and continued, "When Cai Jing rebelled, I heard that Cai Jing was supported by the Queen Mother?"

"Although there were some omissions in my handling of this case, the evidence is solid and it is a done deal!"

"Since the Queen Mother intends to return power to Your Majesty completely because of this matter, then just ignore it. Why bother interfering with the affairs of the court now?"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

"Now, I have only reported Qi Mu's rebellion, and the Queen Mother has come out to support me. Could it be that the Queen Mother still misses the power of the emperor?"

"I am saying something very disrespectful. After the Queen Mother returned to power, she wanted to interfere in government affairs. I wonder if this is considered treason?!"

Zhao Xu felt so happy hearing this!
He didn't dare say these words, as saying them would be considered unfilial. Filial piety in the Song Dynasty was no joke, and the emperor would be severely criticized if he was unfilial.

Now Zhou Yi, the mouthpiece, can say everything he wants to say directly. It feels so good!
My dear Lord Zhou, you are worthy of being my sweetheart!
But we still have to do some surface work.

Zhao Xu stood up and said angrily: "Zhou Yi, you are so outrageous!"

"Empress Dowager Gao has worked so hard for the Song Dynasty. How can I allow you to slander her?!"

"How could I have such thoughts as you said!"

"Someone, bring Zhou Yi down to me and chop him off!"

Suddenly, the imperial guards who had been overturned outside walked in slowly. Just as they were about to pull Zhou Yi away, someone suddenly reported.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Heng, Zhang Dun, Zeng Zixuan, Fan Chunren, and Han Zhongyan request to enter the palace!"

Wow!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court suddenly became quiet, and Empress Dowager Gao even glanced at Zhao Xu through the curtain.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

It seems like these two are playing a double act here, and the substitutes are all ready, so they are ready to catch them all in one fell swoop!

"Your Majesty, those old ministers are all old and have worked hard for our Song Dynasty all their lives. Now they should be recuperating at home. Why did they come to the capital?"

Zhao Xu stood up and bowed, saying, "Grandmother, I don't know either. Why don't we invite the elders into the hall to talk first?"

"Ah."

In the hall, Zhou Yi laughed secretly: "It seems that the emperor had anticipated this and brought them back in advance."

"But think about it, it's a bit outrageous. Some of them were thousands of miles away, but they arrived in just one day and one night."

I guess His Majesty has sent all the masters in the palace out...

Tsk, it's impressive that I didn't scare these old guys to death...

"Xuan!"

Soon, several old men entered the hall and immediately bowed.

"Chen Zhangheng, Zhangdun..."

"Greetings to the Emperor, Empress Dowager Gao!"

"Old gentlemen, please stand up quickly!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Why are several elders coming to the capital together? Is there anything important to report?"

A few people looked at each other, looked at the atmosphere in the court, and realized that a show was going to happen.

"Your Majesty, I am enjoying my old age at home when I suddenly received an urgent report. I learned that treacherous ministers like Cai Jing and Qi Mu have appeared in the court of the Song Dynasty. I am anxious and hurried to the capital to report this to Your Majesty. You must not give up the Song Dynasty!"

Excuse!
Zhou Yi thought to himself that Zhao Xu should have made arrangements in advance, but now was his time to shine.

These old guys will be responsible for taking sides.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, look at these old gentlemen, they are highly respected and have worked hard for our Song Dynasty all their lives!"

"Now, even though we are thousands of miles away, we have received news of Qi Mu's rebellion."

"This is a perfect way to show that I have no second thoughts!"

Qi Mu was also a little confused at this moment. He felt that this matter was directed at him.

These people had left long ago. They were thousands of miles away, and for someone of their age, it would take at least half a month to get to Beijing.

wrong!

Didn’t Zhou Yi leave the capital for half a month?
Okay, okay, Zhou Yi, you thief, you actually thought of murdering me so early!

Qi Mu immediately fell to the ground, crying, "Queen Mother, Emperor!"

"I am wronged!"

"Zhou Yi insulted the Queen Mother and showed disrespect to the royal family. He also framed and threatened old ministers. This villain should be killed!"

"Hey, old man Qi Mu, you're a grown man, why are you crying so much?"

Zhou Yi sneered and took out a stack of papers from his arms.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, and all the nobles in the court, this is the evidence of Qi Mu's crime written by his own hand!"

"Of course, Qi Mu said that I threatened him to write it, so I have to bring a witness!"

"Sir, please allow me to bring in a witness!"

Qi Mu was stunned. Witness?

Where are the witnesses?!
Zhao Xu smiled and said seriously, "Does Zhou Qing's family really have a witness?"

"nature!"

"Then bring it up!"

Immediately, several guards came in with Tie Shou, who was escorting Qi Mu's personal steward.

When they saw this person, many people in the court recognized him!

They all lowered their heads, and Qi Mu's expression changed. This...

"Sir, this is the personal steward of our Lord Qi from Qi Mu's mansion. He has been following him since he entered politics."

"You, quickly tell us that Qi Mu was in collusion with Cai Jing, plotting a rebellion, amassing a huge amount of wealth, supporting criminals and bandits, and even had correspondence with Murong Fu!"

The butler's eyes were a little dull. He kowtowed and then spoke slowly.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Queen Mother. I am Qi Huan, the personal steward of Qi Mu."

"I have been following Qi Mu for twenty years and know a lot of his dirty deeds."

Zhao Xu nodded: "Tell me quickly, my grandmother and I will handle the case impartially!"

"Yes."

"I have followed Qi Mu for twenty years. Fourteen years ago, Qi Mu was transferred from the local area to the capital to serve as an official. Starting from the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, I have begun to deliberately make friends with court officials, and I have also been exchanging letters with the officials who governed the local area back then..."

"Although Qi Mu entered the court from the local area, his foundation was shallow and it was difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in the court. Therefore, he secretly raised criminals and bandits, who robbed and injured people on the road all year round, and secretly collected evidence of a large number of officials' crimes."

"He secretly instructed local officials to amass huge wealth, and even sold private salt, using money to bribe officials..."

"Eight years ago, I secretly supported Cai Jing..."

"Five years ago, I made friends with the An family and used my power to help them grow stronger step by step..."

"Three years ago, I used my personal connections and reputation to secretly frame Lord Xiao Qinyan and cause him to be dismissed from office..."

"A year ago, Cai Jing and I helped the An family enter the Arms Department..."

"A month ago, Cai Jing's An family affair was exposed, but Qi Mu was well prepared and cleared himself of all charges. A large number of An family affiliated forces fell into his hands."

"Half a month ago, he even had correspondence with Murong Fu of the North!"

"After being persuaded by General Zhou, I came forward to testify. I hope the emperor will forgive my crime!"

quiet!
Surprisingly quiet!
Everyone in the court was dumbfounded, including the few ministers who had just arrived. They all looked at Qi Mu with some resentment.

Wow, you are really good at pretending all the time!
Clear stream!
Scholar idol!
He is also a famous honest official!

Any of the things that have been uncovered now can get you beheaded!

"Qi Mu!"

"You are so brave!"

Zhao Xu roared, walked down the stage in two or three steps, and kicked Qi Mu.

"Grandma treated you well, why are you doing this?!"

Empress Dowager Gao's face looks as if she has eaten shit at this moment. She had to specifically mention the person I promoted, right?

At this moment, she began to doubt herself.

It turns out that all the people he has promoted in the past ten years are capable ministers who rebelled?
At this moment, she felt that she was really not suitable for the court, but it was great to be in that position...

"Official, Official, it's all fake!"

"I have never done these things!"

"It's all Zhou Yi's fault!" "It's Zhou Yi who harmed me!"

"I was forced to write this under threat of a senior official!"

Zhou Yi spoke again at this time: "Sir, I have not taken out the confession written by Qi Mu before, in order to prevent someone from accusing me of forgery!"

"Come here, bring the confession up to me!"

Immediately, Eunuch Huang took the letter of apology from Zhou Yi and handed it to Zhao Xu.

There were more than a dozen pieces of paper, and Zhao Xu's face became darker and darker as he looked at them. Finally, he looked at Qi Mu tremblingly.

"How dare you Qi Mu!"

As he spoke, he handed the letter of apology in his hand to Huang Nei Shi: "Grandmother, please take a look at it too."

Empress Dowager Gao took the three pieces of paper and looked at them. She immediately threw the letter of apology down. Her mind went dark and she almost fainted.

"I am tired. From now on, please don't bother me again."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Mu collapsed to the ground, and even the officials who had a good relationship with Qi Mu also collapsed.

"Zhou Yi, you bastard, you will die a miserable death!"

A pair of eyes stared at Zhou Yi intently, as if wishing to drain his marrow from his bones.

Zhou Yi sneered: "I don't know whether I will die or not, but you, an old bastard, will die before me anyway!"

A smile flashed across Zhao Xu's eyes and he took a deep breath.

"Lord Liu!"

The God of Capture bowed hastily, he knew that another great feat was about to be accomplished!
cool!

This Zhou Yi is such a good person!

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to thoroughly investigate this matter. All officials involved must be arrested and detained. Those who should be killed must be killed!"

"According to the order!"

"Official, spare my life!"

Qi Mu fell to his knees, his whole body trembling. He really was shooting himself in the foot.

Of the evidence of guilt that I wrote, at most I accounted for 30%!
But what was written down was enough to kill all nine generations of the clan!
The other officials in the court looked at Zhou Yi and lowered their heads.

This god of death is not to be trifled with!

Qi Mu just brought Qingliu to make some trouble, and then captured them all!

The entire An family died because of a few words from Cai Jing!

Moreover, every time this guy reports something, it’s a damn crime of treason!

Who can bear this!
As for the authenticity of the evidence, who cares at this moment?

If the government wants it, then it’s true!
If they still don't understand now, all their decades of service as officials have been in vain.

This was obviously a conspiracy between the government and Zhou Yi.

Not only did he purge all the opponents in the court, but he also completely seized power from the Empress Dowager.

Moreover, why did these old prime ministers come to the capital at this time?

Even a fool can see it!
It's obvious that they are deploying their own power...

From then on, the government really held complete power.

You can’t mess with Zhou Yi!

They would confiscate property and exterminate entire families at will!
However, this kid is really capable. My father followed Murong Fu to rebel in the north, and my son is doing very well in the Song Dynasty.

This is outrageous!
As a large number of imperial guards entered the palace, they dragged Qi Mu and all the officials involved away, regardless of whether they had committed a crime or not. In short, all those who were too closely involved with Qi Mu were arrested!
Do you really think that the Six Gates know nothing about what has happened over the years?

That's because Liu Jiyan is not easy to move. Now that Zhou Yi has started, there is nothing to be afraid of. I will kill you!
Anyway, Liu Jiyan can take most of the credit...

It’s so good to follow Zhou Yi, every time I make a great contribution to the rebellion!

"Zhou Qingjia, come forward."

Zhao Xu let out a deep breath and felt relieved!
From now on, the road ahead will be a smooth and open road leading to heaven!

Zhou Yi came in front of Zhao Xu and bowed, "Your Majesty."

"You have done a great job this time, I will reward you well!"

The corners of the mouths of several old men who had just entered the palace twitched. "Your Majesty, would you please restrain your smile?"

What we mean is, you have to act the whole thing!
"Well, I don't seem to be lacking anything, sir?"

"How about you give me a few more houses?"

After thinking about it, Zhou Yi really didn't lack anything. Money? Not only did he have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his mansion, but he also had two boxes of gold...

Martial arts cheats?

Well, both human arsenals are in my hands, no shortage!
It would be nice to have a few houses, and use them as a garden or something, and go traveling with a few wives.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Chengyuan is so big, it's equivalent to seven or eight houses and still not enough for you to live in?"

Suddenly, Zhao Xu looked at Zhou Yi and smiled: "I heard that you have a few confidantes now, right?"

"How about I grant you a marriage?"

Zhou Yi was stunned. Isn’t it too early?

Zhao Pan'er hasn't succeeded yet, but he's granting her the marriage?

"Um, Your Majesty, how about we just forget about the marriage?"

"Forget it, let's put it aside for now."

"I will pardon and confer upon you the title of General Xuanwei of the Fourth Rank, and concurrently serve as the Commander of the Beijing Camp?"

Zhou Yi quickly shook his head: "No, it's too troublesome to lead the troops. I'd rather be an idle official."

"Because then someone will say, oh, your Majesty, Zhou Yi led the troops in such and such a way, and he was planning a rebellion..."

"Ha ha……"

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Zhao Xu, even several old prime ministers laughed, and they looked at Zhou Yi with more and more favor.

"Your Majesty, since Lord Zhou doesn't want to lead the troops, why not arrange for him to be in charge of the Jiaofangsi? I have also heard that Lord Zhou likes to visit the Jiaofangsi."

Zhang Zihou!
Zhou Yi glared at the old man. Isn't this harming himself?

"Goodbye, official. I don't want anything."

"Well, sir, can I leave first? The work is done. I am not familiar with government affairs, so there is no point in staying."

Zhou Yi said that he was tired and if he stayed any longer, he didn't know what bad ideas these people would come up with.

Moreover, there are still some things that have not been completed. The God of Capture is in charge of investigating Qi Mu's affairs, so I have to go and say hello.

We have to verify the above evidence one by one and do the right thing.

The Book of Changes emphasizes one thing: seek truth from facts!

If you write it, I will complete it for you.

Qi Mu, ah Qi Mu, I treat you so well, no need to thank me!
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Forget it, you go back first. I will deal with the affairs of the court and then think about what reward to give you."

"Then I will resign!"

Zhou Yi walked out of the Xuan Zheng Hall and took a look. The sun had come out, shining on his body, making him feel warm!

Comfortable!

However, Qi Mu's incident served as a reminder to himself.

If this is the case in the court, my reputation among the people will probably be completely ruined.

Although he didn't care, the reputation of a traitor would indeed bring him a lot of trouble.

Ordinary people may completely put this matter behind them because of the official announcement.

What about the world outside?

"It seems that I will also hold a series of Jianghu conferences..."

Think about it, in the martial arts world, all major events have to be held at a martial arts conference, and all the famous families and sects are invited to attend.

Now that I am the biggest vortex and the person involved, it is not excessive for me to hold a Jianghu conference, right?
