Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 195
Zhao Dezhao looked at them with a smile, thinking he deserved it!
The surname Wang usually stands on the side of King Jin and opposes me everywhere, but now that something happened, he immediately pushed you out to block the knife.This is the life of only willing to be a dog!

Wang Zhizhong wiped the sweat from his brow, stepped forward tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty! It's my negligence that made a big mistake all the time, and I am willing to be punished. I promise that I will not waste any money in the future! No matter who it is, as long as you Entering the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, everyone will be treated equally, and will never be tolerated!"

Zhao Guangyi glanced at him, thinking that this is for me?
Your subordinates are not confidential, and the evidence was taken by someone to cause this disaster. I will not push it to you or anyone else.

Zhao Dezhao smiled slightly, with an intriguing expression on his face, thinking that this is a dog eating a dog, a hair on the mouth, killing one counts as one.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, but pointed at Wang Zhizhong, meaning that you will remember what you said.

It also has another meaning, which is: next time, you can retire from old age and return to your hometown.

Wang Zhizhong let out a long breath, knowing that today's test was over, he bowed deeply, and returned to his original position.

Zhao Guangyi immediately winked at Hanlin Zhang Dewen.

This Hanlin has a false title as a civil servant and has no real power, but his rank is not low.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no right to speak at all.

But Zhao Kuangyin attached great importance to civil servants, and gradually the Hanlin also had the right to speak, but after all it was not as good as Yushi.

Although Zhang Dewen knew that he was soft-spoken, he dared not listen to King Jin's signal.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty! A lot of people were talking about King Qi's abuse of prisoners just now. Now that the witnesses have been brought, Your Majesty will see if you can ask them."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him, "I don't usually see you talking too much, but today you are very active."

Zhang Dewen blushed and fled back in a hurry.

"Then let them talk! Everyone wants to say something!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the prisoners kneeling on the steps.

Zhao Dezhao took the first step, took out another bill from his arms, and said, "Your Majesty! Since the rice fields were planted, I have paid for their own dormitory and built a big kitchen for them, and bought meat for them at their own expense. It’s white flour, steamed buns, and white rice.”

"This kind of treatment is not even achieved in prisons across the country..."

Suddenly, a prisoner kowtowed vigorously and shouted, "Apologize to Your Majesty! The king of Qi is right. As long as we work hard in these fields, there will be meat and vegetables for every meal, white flour, steamed buns and white rice. We can eat enough!" "

Not to mention Zhao Kuangyin, all the ministers were also surprised.

I fully expected that these prisoners would complain about Zhao Dezhao.In the end, he kept talking about his benefits.

Zhao Guangyi was disappointed, and glared at Wang Jixun, thinking to himself, you bastard, what did you tell you when you went in, but you couldn't control your subordinates, and you did something like this in the hall.

Before Wang Jixun opened his mouth, another prisoner immediately kowtowed and said, "That's right! Not only did King Qi not treat us badly in terms of food and drink, but he also made handwork and boiled water to wipe our bodies and feet every day. Everyone's berth is a regular bed, which is comparable to that of Datong's." Much more comfortable."

Another person said, "Your Majesty! Now our treatment is much better than that of the prison in the Imperial Grain Institute. All this is due to King Qi, and we are all grateful for King Qi's kindness."

"King Qi's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and he loves the people like a son to us. We don't want King Qi to be punished!"

A group of nobles who used to be white and fat, now pretending to be beggars, actually helped Zhao Dezhao speak together.

Only Zhao Dezhao himself can tell the truth.

That is, the mistakes made by this group of people are real, and they should not think about it for a while. On the contrary, Zhao Dezhao has now given them a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds and atone for their crimes.

Another important point is that as long as you work hard these days, you can indeed eat meat dishes and white flour steamed buns every day, and they taste really delicious.If we go back to the prison, we won't be able to eat such delicious food.

Wang Jixun was also stunned by this group of people. Didn't he say it well last night, why did you all get scared when you arrived at the main hall today and the Holy Majesty could make decisions for everyone.

In particular, several of them had never eaten meat dishes or white steamed buns at all. Like Wang Jixun, they slept on the floor every night, and now they actually lied and said that King Qi was really good to them.

"Li Dang! Sloppy! You guys are talking nonsense and betraying me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Hu prostrated on the ground, "Your Majesty! King Qi teaches us every day, and we all regret it now. We should not have broken the law and made mistakes in the first place! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will be a new person in the future and never do bad things again."

Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his laughter and looked at Zhao Guangyi and others, intending to ask them: Is this what you said, that the King of Qi abused the prisoners and made the world angry?Everyone clearly enjoys it.

Zhao Guangyi's face turned livid, "Wang Jixun, you lied about the prison situation and framed King Qi, you are really daring, you are looking for death!"

Wang Jixun bumped his head anxiously, "Your Majesty! You are wronged! These people are worried about King Qi's power and are afraid of retaliation, so they talk nonsense. I am wronged..."

At this moment, Your Highness, a servant hurried forward with a food box.

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin stand up slowly, took the food box and said, "My heart is in the world, and I will not wrong a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. You all have interests involved, and I don't believe anyone you say. It has long been The servant went to the rice field to investigate, and brought evidence to show me..."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuangyin slowly opened the food box.

He was still a little nervous when it came to his son Zhao Dezhao's reputation.

But what he wants more is real evidence.

The food box was opened, and there was indeed a meat, a vegetarian, and a soup inside, as well as white steamed buns and white rice.

Zhao Kuangyin once ordered the servants to make surprise inspections and not engage in fraud for personal gain. Facts have proved that what Zhao Dezhao said is indeed true.

He handed the food box back to the servant, and asked him to hold it down and walk around among the ministers.

"King Qi is indeed right! It's the best food in a prison cell in the world."

"Wang Jixun dared to deceive Prince Jin. He really deserves death!"

Hearing the discussions among the ministers, Wang Jixun knelt down and wailed, "Your Majesty! You have been wronged! You have been framed..."

"Hmph! Something that never repents! Slap your mouth! Dezhao! From now on, this person's food will be halved again! Let's see if he dares to stab!"

Zhao Dezhao bowed and agreed.

Over there, Wang Jixun was slapped a few times, and suddenly fell down and couldn't get up.

Zhao Kuangyin pretended he hadn't seen it, got up and said with a flick of his sleeves, "That's it for today, if you have nothing to do, leave the court..."

"Your Majesty! I still have something to announce."

"Say!" Zhao Kuangyin stopped, expressionless.

Zhao Dezhao said, "Recently, I have spent all my belongings in order to plant experimental fields. I have no money to use. I have to endure other people's slander and slander. I have been wronged and have no way to justify them. Those prisoners were brought in and out at will. The director of the Imperial Grain Institute is in name only..."

"Speak directly!" Zhao Kuangyin interrupted displeased.
