The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1651 The Severe Corruption Punishment

Zhao Xu couldn't imagine it anymore. In history, Zhao Kuangyin did die at this point, leaving behind the legend of candlelight and ax shadow. Although the current history has changed a lot, who can guarantee that it won't happen again, so Zhao Xu doesn't Dare to say it's not true.

The study of arithmetic is a rather miraculous thing, but his existence does make sense, and Zhao Xu really thought that this father wanted to love him.

Zhao Xu thought about the past ten years. He had already integrated into this society. Now that he had a family, he could feel the affection of his family. The scene of his assassination appeared in front of Zhao Xu's eyes.

At that time, Zhao Xu was assassinated in Bianjing, and at that time Zhao Kuangyin was already the commander in front of the palace. At that time, his own proposal to restrict the development of Buddhism was taken into account, and he was assassinated, and his life and death are unknown.

And Zhao Kuangyin directly dispatched the forbidden army to search the city, regardless of the emperor's imperial decree. This is a serious crime of beheading, but Zhao Kuangyin did it without hesitation. Zhao Kuangyin was so depressed when he couldn't find the whole Bianjing.

But when his seriously injured body appeared in front of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Xu was still spying on Zhao Kuangyin's excitement and joy.

Hugging his lost and found son in a hurry, Zhao Xu still clearly remembered that Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were red at that time, and when he came back from his serious injury, his tears couldn't stop streaming down.

You must know that Zhao Kuangyin was a commander in chief at that time, and there were more than a thousand soldiers under his command. He had walked through the pile of dead people several times, but he cried when he saw his son come back.

At this moment, Zhao Xu actually felt a sour feeling from the bottom of his heart. Is this what it feels like to be loved? Zhao Xu has never tried it before, or even if he tried, he has never been so strong.

This man is his own father. He has proved what father-son love is by his actions. He dispatched the army just to ensure his own safety. The forbidden army is the emperor's army, but Zhao Kuangyin mobilized the forbidden army with all four limbs without the emperor's decree. .

Afterwards, Zhao Kuangyin was severely punished by Chai Rong. If the ministers hadn't interceded, he might have been beheaded, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't regret it.

"You are my son. As your father, I can't even protect you. Do I still have the face to be your father?" This was Zhao Kuangyin's explanation at the time.

"Father..." Zhao Xu had a sore nose, and blurted out these two words. Looking at the moon in the sky, Zhao Xu's eyes were full of tears. Zhao Xu had never said this before, and kept it in his heart all the time. Thinking of the day when Zhao Kuangyin died in history today, I accidentally remembered this incident.

"No, I can't take this risk and strengthen my defense anyway. By the way, those two puppets have fallen asleep a long time ago. It's time for them to wake up and follow Father."

Zhao Xu quickly wiped away his tears. Zhao Guangyi is still in the capital. Although he has no strength now, he has to pay attention.

Zhao Xu didn't know how Sima Zhaoyuan calculated this time, but it took him ten years, so Zhao Xu couldn't help but pay attention to it.

After ten years of studying one thing, a flower can be produced, not to mention that Sima Zhaoyuan is not an easy person. Zhao Xu has already believed it. There is no such a coincidence here, even if it is a fake Zhao Yuan. Xu also has scruples, after all, such things have happened in history.

Zhao Xu couldn't try and didn't dare to try. If this was true, wouldn't he lose Zhao Kuangyin's father?

So he naturally had to make some arrangements, just in case, if Zhao Kuangyin died of illness in the history books, then prepare the best doctor for it, and it is said that Zhao Guangyi killed him, if Zhao Guangyi is not allowed to enter the palace, it will be over.

This is all easy to do, if it is really Zhao Kuangyin's destiny has come, then there is no other way.

While Zhao Xu was worried about Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin's people had already started to act, and many people had already been murdered.

One of them is a small official from the Ministry of Industry. This person is not a small official. If the imperial court has something to make, this person will contact those merchants or craftsmen before starting to make it, because the things that the imperial court wants are basically in large quantities. Yes, generally the Ministry of Industry cannot complete it by itself, and has to contract it to businessmen.

This man, Xiaoguan, was one of the people who contacted the businessman to make the armor. He was killed suddenly at home, but he had his own account book under him, which was also his own crime.

In addition, many officials who usually committed serious crimes but had no conclusive evidence were killed. Now the court began to panic, and Zhao Kuangyin also ordered a strict investigation, but he said that there should be no chaos inside. After all, outside is fighting. It must not be chaotic, the investigation must be investigated, but the focus should still be on foreign wars.

The ministers in the court also knew that what Zhao Kuangyin said was right. After all, he was still fighting against the Khitan. If there was another internal strife, something more serious would definitely happen.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Qin brought the little prince to see you, and the little prince lost his temper, and the slaves don't know what's going on." Eunuch Shun said anxiously.

Fu Xuetong, Mrs. Qin's wife, the young man should be talking about Zhao Weizheng. Zhao Kuangyin let him in without thinking too much, and Xiao Shunzi was also called outside to keep him and the others away.

When Fu Xuetong came out again, Zhao Weizheng also came out with a smile on his face. It seemed that Zhao Kuangyin had done them some good.

"What the hell is this brat doing? Even my grandson is his messenger. This should really change. Alas, after this time, my Song Dynasty should be safe and sound."

Zhao Kuangyin was talking to himself, and no one knew what he was talking about, but soon he said:

"These officials are really daring. Why didn't I think that he really has something to do with him before. Although this violates the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is the best way at present." Zhao Kuangyin looked at the faces of the officials who were killed. Although Zhao Kuangyin had conflicts with the list and their criminal evidence, he felt that killing them was not wrong.

"This brat really dares to find trouble for me, but I think this kid is hiding to do these things, but there are still people who want to poison him, this is something I cannot tolerate."

"Xiao Shunzi, come in and grind for me. I want to issue an imperial decree." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became energetic and wrote the imperial decree himself. After seeing the imperial decrees written by Zhao Kuangyin, Xiao Shunzi waited.

The general meaning is this: "In the future, anyone who is corrupt will have more than a hundred peeled grasses."

This can be regarded as the most severe punishment for corruption, and Xiao Shunzi really broke into a cold sweat!
