Chapter 445 The Prince's Death(1/2)

As soon as Qin Hui said this, the atmosphere became strange again.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Zhao Ning said: "This matter will be discussed later."

Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty is wise, I am worrying too much."

After saying that, and no longer giving everyone a chance to speak, Zhao Guanjia turned around and left the Daqing Hall: "Retreat from the court!"

After Zhao Guan's family left, the hall was still silent.

Qin Hui began to call names with a list. Those on the list basically supported Wang Shoude and Li Chunyou today.

After the names were called, Qin Hui said: "Don't worry, everyone, the Ministry of Punishment will try the case impartially."

"Qin Hui! You are worse than a pig or a dog!"

"Qin Hui! You must die a happy death!"

"Qin Hui! You deceive the king and harm the country!"

"..."

There were constant shouts and curses in the hall, but no one dared to resist because the imperial guards headed by Jing Chao were still in the hall.

Gao Qiu sighed in his heart, the official family is really a dog... Oh no, they are so wise!

Qin Hui was asked to do everything that offended others, and when he called for arrest, he ran away.

This time, a total of fifteen New Deal officials temporarily defected, and another thirty old-school officials were arrested in the hall.

These officials are all officials who can go to court, and the lowest level is also a doctor or department-level official.

Moreover, this great purge has just begun. There are a lot of middle and low-level officials outside the palace. No one involved in this incident can escape.

This was a major purge of the old factions in the court, and it was also a summary of the officialdom since Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

It is also an unprecedented rectification of the subsequent expansion of the New Deal.

Early on the seventh day of September, the news that Wang Shoude collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and incited students from Songyang Academy to attack Luo Jing University made headlines in Tokyo newspapers.

Everything seemed to have been rehearsed, and everything seemed to be progressing in an orderly manner according to the predetermined process.

Today's newspaper was sold out as soon as it came out.

On the printing presses of major newspapers, hand copywriters worked tirelessly to produce them.

A long-planned conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom was uncovered in this case.

"It turns out that Wang Shoude, who was highly respected before, turned out to be a masterpiece of the Jin Dynasty!" said a former student of the Imperial College. "It's in vain that I used him as a life mentor before."

"I have already said that there is definitely something wrong with this person."

"When did you say that?"

"I've said it a long time ago. When you were praising him before, I told him that he had a problem, but you didn't listen."

"..."

"Severely punish Wang Shoude and his like! We must punish them severely!"

"Yes! Severe punishment!"

"..."

After leaving the court, Zhao Ning returned to Funing Palace and took a nap. When he woke up, the autumn wind outside was bleak.

"The official, the saint is outside asking for an audience."

"Quick announcement."

Zhu Lian walked in, and Zhao Ning knew what she was here for.

Zhao Ning walked over, supported Zhu Lian, and said gently: "You just gave birth to a baby this year, so it's not appropriate to move around much, not to mention that the autumn wind is really cold today."

"Guan Jia, I have already taught Chen'er a lesson." Zhu Lian had some anxiety on his brows.

"Come, sit down, sit down and talk slowly."

Zhu Lian sat down, and Zhao Ning ordered someone to prepare some hot tea and cakes.

"Guan Jia, Chen'er is still too young and he doesn't understand anything."

Zhu Lian's eyes were full of sadness, and it could be seen that she was very worried about Zhao Chen.

Zhao Ning said: "I didn't mean to blame Chen'er."

"Then the officials have forgiven Chen'er for today's recklessness?"

Zhao Ning nodded and said: "I don't blame him, but it doesn't mean he can escape punishment. He is a prince and has been caught in government affairs. If he is not punished, he may not be able to convince people."

Looking at Zhu Lian's worried look, Zhao Ning couldn't bear it.

If Zhao Chen did not speak in the court today, even if Wang Shoude proposed that the prince participate in politics, the problem would not be too big, because the prince is the recommended party.

But the prince took the initiative to speak too much for those people in court today, and the problem became serious.

Zhu Lian burst into tears immediately: "How are the officials going to punish Chen'er?"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him." Zhao Ning picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"real?"

"real!"

Zhao Ning hugged Zhu Lian into his arms and comforted him: "The child has his own ideas. If he wants to do things according to his own ideas, he will have to bear the consequences. We can't arrange everything for him."

"Um."

After lunch, Gao Qiu entered the palace and met Zhao Guan's family in the back garden.

"His Majesty."

"how?"

"Now the whole city of Tokyo is scolding Wang Shoude, and Wang Shoude has been ruined.

"Where's Kong Fan?"

"Same."

"The saint's bloodline also curses?"

"Swear too."

It seems that the effect was achieved. Kong Fan was labeled as a collaborator and traitorous to the country, and the aura of the saint's bloodline was useless.

Gao Qiu said: "And..."

"And what?"

"And we found several lunatics on the street."

"madman?"

"They are all old Confucian scholars. They couldn't accept it when they heard that the saint's blood had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. They went crazy and cried and laughed on the street. Some people took out their books and burned them." Gao Qiu said in a complicated tone.

Gao Qiu and Qin Hui are two completely different people.

Qin Hui usually pretends to be upright, but he is ambitious.

Gao Qiu is different. This guy is still a sweet-tempered person with a rogue temperament, and sometimes he is also a soft-hearted person.

Seeing the end of Prince Zhao Chen today, I feel a little emotional, and seeing those Confucian scholars going crazy, I feel a little sad.

Zhao Guanjia asked: "What is the current situation of public security in the city?"

"All the Yamen officials from Kaifeng Yamen have been dispatched, everything is strict, and the gates of the capital have also been strengthened."

Zhao Guanjia nodded and said: "The Imperial City Division has also stepped up patrols. The imperial court's reorganization in the past few days will inevitably cause unnecessary panic."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we are all watching."

"Is there any news from Yingtian Mansion?"

"Yes, it just came in this morning. Everything is stable."

"Stability is good. This farce should end and should not expand any further."

"It's just that the former secretary, Provincial Secretary Lang Fu Zhirou, was arrested by Mr. Zhao at Yingtian Academy."

"Why is this?"

"Fu Zhirou talked about the harm of new learning in Yingtian Mansion."

Zhao Guanjia said: "Let Qin Hui handle these people, and you should stop interfering."

"Yes!" The smart Gao Qiu immediately knew what Zhao Guan's family meant.

In this purge, a large number of old parties must have been purged, almost all of which were managed by Qin Hui.

Qin Hui was the one who offended everyone.

Zhao Ning actually didn't want Gao Qiu to be too involved in this case.

In the evening, Qin Hui returned home and Wang personally came to greet him.
