Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 53
Earlier, when Zhao Dezhao went back to the palace to recruit people, he didn't say what he was going to do with so many people out at night, no matter how his wife pressed him, he didn't reveal the slightest hint.

Wang Xiuzhi felt uneasy, so he stayed up all night waiting for her husband to come back. Now that she saw such a battle in the yard with her own eyes, how could Wang Xiuzhi not guess that her husband took someone out to do something good!
"This... all of these?" Wang Xiuzhi's pretty face was pale, and she pointed to the pile of golden objects on the ground in the yard and asked her husband, her voice trembling.

"Miss, look at what you are asking, of course these are all gold and silver treasures!" Zhao Dezhao smiled and pretended to be stupid.

Wang Xiuzhi took a deep breath, settled his mind, and said, "I'm just asking, where did these come from?"

"Chi Jianxin, you should know this person, right? I found it in his house."

"The concubine knows, my husband, you took someone to raid his house, you were ordered by the Holy Majesty, right?"

"There is no order to raid the house, but there is an opportunity to raid the house. Since I have the opportunity, how can I let it go?"

Hearing her husband said that she acted without authorization, Wang Xiuzhi was even more frightened, feeling dizzy and dizzy, and her body was on the verge of falling.

Zhao Dezhao hugged Wang Xiuzhi's shoulders. Such a firm and powerful movement immediately made her feel as if she had a strong support, and her mind quickly settled down.

Wang Xiuzhi no longer flustered, and only said with a bitter face: "Sir, is it not good for you to do this?"

"What's wrong, I made such a fortune all of a sudden, believe it or not, my emperor father will envy me when he finds out." Zhao Dezhao said with a low voice and smiled.

"Sir, you are so bold that you can do anything, but you can't speak properly." Wang Xiuzhi was almost dying of worry.

"Okay, you waited for me all night, go to rest." Zhao Dezhao gave Wang Xiuzhi a light push on the back, he was still very considerate of this virtuous, sensible and beautiful lady.

"That won't work!" Wang Xiuzhi instantly changed her face to become a stingy housewife, her beautiful eyes radiated a greedy green light, and she snorted coquettishly: "There are so many good things, I have to keep an eye on them, and watch them all with my own eyes." Inventory and bookkeeping!"

"That's fine, then you can pick out a few of the best ones by the way, and send them to your in-laws in the palace tomorrow, so as to make some connections with her."

"That won't work! You have to keep the best concubine for yourself, and give away the second best one. The empress is only one year older than your husband. It's really uncomfortable to treat her as your in-laws and honor your concubine. You can barely get along with her as a close friend." , since you are a close friend in your boudoir, wouldn't it be appropriate to pick out the second-best item as a gift? Besides, is there any good stuff from the empress?"

"..."

Zhao Dezhao was speechless for a while, so he had to leave Wang Xiuzhi alone to stare at the scene, and went back to his room to rest.

Because of the sudden windfall, Zhao Dezhao was full of energy even without sleeping all night, but when he touched the bed, he immediately felt sleepy like a mountain.

When he was about to fall asleep, Zhao Dezhao remembered that today was the court meeting day, so he should change into court clothes and go out quickly according to the time?

Forget it, it's really sleepy, it doesn't matter if you miss the court meeting once or twice, if you insist on attending the court meeting, you have to stand in the court hall and doze off in front of everyone, it will be a big embarrassment.

……

Morning meeting.

All the ministers saluted like a ritual, and shouted long live to Zhao Kuangyin who was sitting on the throne.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his hand to signal the ministers to return to the left and right trains.

"The minister has his own book!"

Someone didn't wait to return to the list, so he couldn't wait to speak, speaking in a sonorous and forceful tone, showing a lot of confidence.

Zhao Kuangyin looked up and found that it was Tang Jixian, Yushi Zhongcheng, who was standing in the center of the hall, standing there abruptly like an eye-catching iron rod.

Zhao Kuangyin's perception of Tang Jixian reminded him of Yu Bai, which made him frown slightly. The confrontation with old man Yu a few days ago was not a pleasant experience.

"Tang Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it."

Zhao Kuangyin was not very emotional, he wanted to get it with his ass, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, as the head of the speech officer, took the lead so rarely, it must be a bombardment - either bombarding his colleagues, or bombarding He, the emperor himself, would never have any good things to say anyway!

"I want to impeach Zhao Dezhao, king of Tianshui County..."

Before Tang Zhongcheng could finish the rest of his sentence, Zhao Kuangyin blurted out and interrupted him: "What's wrong with Prince Tianshui?"

Dozens of strange gazes from below cast their gazes up, Zhao Kuangyin realized that he had slipped his words, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Why did I say 'again'?"

Fortunately, Tang Zhongcheng was not interested in making a big fuss about words, but directly stated Zhao Dezhao's crimes:

"...Last night, the king of Tianshui County led more than a hundred servants and servants in the mansion to break into the house of Chi Jianxin, who was in charge of the inner treasury with open fire, tortured Chi Jianxin to death, and ransacked the house to search for property."

"The night patrol officials of Kaifeng Mansion went to investigate, but the Tianshui County King ordered a servant in the palace to come forward, claiming that he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to act as an envoy for the emperor."

"Isn't it absurd to say such nonsense? My Song court has its own system. Even if it is necessary to confiscate the family and punish it, there is Kaifeng Mansion, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple!"

"Even if the Holy Majesty takes action to punish the house servants and servants, the foreign ministers have nothing to say, and there are guards on duty in front of the imperial court! When do you need a county king to lead the servants in the mansion to enforce the law? Hundreds of servants and servants broke into the houses at night and searched them wantonly. The neighbors are frightened, how is this action different from entering a house to rob?!"

The words of Tang Jixian, the prime minister in the censor, were very tenable, and soon caused a slight commotion in the palace, especially among the civil servants.

The civil servants are the group of people who hate eunuchs the most. Of course, they will not feel indignant over the tragic death of a well-oiled inner treasury, but they are also the group of people who care most about maintaining the imperial system and order.

And letting a county king lead the servants in the mansion to enforce the law, beat people to death and ransack their homes with open fire, this is obviously a serious damage to the imperial system and order.In other words, beating a eunuch to death and ransacking his home is not a problem in itself, but who will execute it and how to execute it will be a problem, and the problem is very big!

The king of Tianshui County was not present, and the courtiers had no way to vent their dissatisfaction. Their eyes naturally focused on Zhao Kuangyin who was sitting on the throne: You are both the emperor and his father, so you have to give an explanation for this matter. !

Zhao Guangyi stood closest to the throne, secretly applauding Tang Jixian's impeachment, and felt that this person deserved to be the number one thug under his seat.

On the other side, he paid special attention to the change of Zhao Kuangyin's face.

He noticed that Zhao Kuangyin's expression was stunned at first, as if he was shocked by his son's audacity and misconduct, and then he was full of anger. His right hand was tightly grasping the armrest of the throne. It can be seen that they are trying their best to endure!
