King of Song

Chapter 535

Luoyang, Anle!
Who else but Master Shao Yong in the comfort zone by the Tianjin Bridge?

Lin Zhao was very surprised, why Shao Yong would send him a letter, and he still wanted to doze off so he sent a pillow, predicting the time of rain.

How did Shao Yong know what he was thinking?He is not a roundworm in his stomach, and has no connection with him. Could it be that he really has the ability to predict?
Lin Zhao was skeptical. This kind of miraculous character definitely has some skills, and it is not surprising that there are unexpected things, but it is still too shocking after all.

As for the answer Shao Yong gave, it was exactly what was needed, and Lin Zhao believed it.

Compared with a few experienced people observing the weather, it is better to trust Shao Yong to make a fortune!The time of the rain is very important to me, otherwise the effect of Zheng Xia's side will be greatly reduced, and the things that have been painstakingly invested for a long time will come to naught.

"Two days later, the limit is ten days!" Lin Zhao thought for a while, and on the basis of Master Shao Yong, he had a grace period of two days.

"Yes!"

"Also!" Lin Zhao hesitated, "Send someone to Luoyang to keep an eye on Shao Yong!"

"Yes!"

Shao Yong's move was really too mysterious. Although it was out of good intentions, Lin Zhao was a little worried because it was of great importance.Before you can't go to verify it in person, you can only be on guard!

While Lin Zhao was waiting to see a good show, he focused more on being with his lovely wife. The time has entered May, and the day when Chai Minyan and Zhe Wenxin gave birth is approaching.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the third day of May in the fifth year of Xining, the court meeting was held as usual.

In the past few days, the unchanging content is disaster relief. Various disaster situations and measures are reported, and then the ministries, states and counties are arranged to implement them.At the same time, impeachment of Wang Anshi is still commonplace, but Zhao Xu keeps stretching, even if he doesn't spit out, the officials are helpless!

But when the court meeting was about to end, Cao Jian, the guard on duty in front of the palace, came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a door supervisor, Zheng Xia, to meet you at the gate of the palace, saying that there is something important to report!"

Install a gatekeeper?

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, this is an official who is not popular at all, Zhao Xu had no impression at all, and asked suspiciously: What is he asking for a visit?Can there be something big?
Wang Anshi was also at a loss. Zheng Xia was demoted, and it was Wang Yu who manipulated it. As for where he was eventually demoted, Wang Anshi only knew now.

Zheng Xia asked to see the emperor, what would happen?For some reason, Wang Xianggong's eyelids began to twitch continuously, and a strong uneasiness appeared in his heart.

"Did he say something?" Zhao Xu asked in a deep voice. He didn't want to make trouble, but he had to ask again.

"Zheng Xia has something to present to His Majesty! He said that His Majesty will definitely meet him after he has seen it!" Cao Jian dutifully conveyed Zheng Xia's request comprehensively.

"What?"

Cao Jian handed it with both hands, it was a scroll!
Zhao Xu said casually, "Open it!"

But when all the scrolls were unfolded, Zhao Xu regretted it and was shocked at the same time!Not only him, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked when they saw the scroll.

For a moment, there was no sound in the Daqing Palace, and needles could be heard!
The princes and ministers of the Song Dynasty stared at the painting, unable to say a word, but their hearts were full of turmoil!

What Zheng Xia painted was "The Picture of Refugees Going to Hunger and Die". On the picture scroll, the refugees lived in poverty, with yellow and emaciated faces, naked clothes, starving and dying for thousands of miles, and displaced!

Looking at this picture, Zhao Xu's heart trembled violently. Although he really wanted to maintain the majesty and calmness of being an emperor, his body still couldn't help shaking!This is the scene among the people today. Is this the Song Dynasty?He didn't want to believe it, but another intuition told him that it might be true!
The officials were even more astonished. After a moment of silence, they started to argue again, and it was as if a pot had exploded in the hall!
Zhao Xu has no intention and powerlessness to control the officials, and an indisputable implementation is in front of him, that is, he must summon Zheng Xia!
Soon, Cao Jian led Zheng Xia to the palace.

"Zheng Xia, why are you drawing such an ominous picture?" An official immediately jumped out to question.

Zheng Xia walked to the front without hurrying, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, although this picture is unlucky, it is a true portrayal of the life of the common people!"

"What?" Zhao Xu's brows frowned even tighter, with a bit of shock on his face.

"Your Majesty, since Wang Anshi's political reform, the common people have been living in poverty. Now that they are facing drought, they are displaced and hungry for thousands of miles." Zheng Xia kowtowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I impeach Wang Anshi's political reform for harming the country with death." , The sky is so angry and the people complain that the people are in dire straits, please Your Majesty dismiss him from office and punish him!"

Come, the real purpose is here!

Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all understood that this was Zheng Xia's real purpose.Hundreds of officials also have impeachment on weekdays, but how can it compare to Zheng Xia's power?
How intuitive is a picture of refugees starving to death, and how powerful is the visual impact?Zhao Xu was really shaken this time, and it was unprecedentedly shaken.

This was an unprecedented opportunity. The old party officials took advantage of the situation and immediately echoed it. Immediately, there was another wave of impeachment against Wang Anshi in the court, which was more violent than ever before!
Wang Anshi was standing in front of the sequence of civil servants. He remained calm, but he was shocked in his heart.That picture of Zheng Xia really surprised him, is that really the case?Or is this guy avenging his kindness and deliberately wronging people like this?Or is it true?Wang Anshi really wanted to explain something, but he didn't have a chance to speak at all, and he didn't know what to say.

Standing like this, although he was very calm, there were huge waves beside him.At this moment, Wang Anshi was like a small boat tossed by the wind and rain. Whether he would be silent immediately depended on the decision of the emperor on the throne.

Zhao Xu is the emperor, the Supreme of All Saints!But at the moment when he was sitting on the dragon chair, he had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.Whether it was the "Picture of the Starving Refugees" or the officials kneeling on the ground, there was a strong pressure that made him almost out of breath!

He knew that today he couldn't escape, and he had to make a decision, a decision about Wang Anshi.But are you forced to agree like this?Zhao Xu really didn't want to be coerced, he wanted to preserve the last trace of his authority as the emperor!
Hesitate, or procrastinate!
Not wanting to, Zheng Xia immediately said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Wang Anshi with death. If Your Majesty deposes Wang Anshi, rain will surely fall from the sky within ten days. If there is no rain after the time limit, I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. Please behead me outside the Xuande Gate!"

ruthless!
This is Zheng Xia's biggest bet, risking his life for impeachment!The bet is whether it will rain within ten days. This is the rhythm of risking his life and pulling Wang Anshi off the horse!

Most of the people present knew Zheng Xia's identity, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Wang Anshi really failed!The student who taught him personally, now treats him like this, what else is there to say when a person has reached this point?
Looking at Zheng Xia who was kneeling on the ground, Wang Anshi was also shocked.He didn't hate Zheng Xia's ungratefulness, but was frightened by his performance.Is it possible to die like this for revenge?Or am I just so wrong?Wang Xianggong looked at Zheng Xia looking back, with cold and complacent eyes, mixed feelings in his heart!
Then, his eyes fell on the emperor Zhao Xu again, obeying the arrangement of fate!
