Chapter 1072 Another 800-mile urgent report?
Chapter 1072
"Yes, the Qing family reminded me that I also have a feeling that they impeached others, not Wangwushan, which I am familiar with." Emperor Zhao Xu slapped his thigh and couldn't help but agree happily.
"Although I have been away from Shaanxi Road for nearly a year, I have been communicating with letters between me and Wang Wushan. Before, after careful investigation, Wang Yang's letter said that after careful investigation, he was at least 70% to 80% sure that he could be sure that the horse bandits who raged and robbed money were probably disguised by the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom's border soldiers."
"So, Wang Wushan sent troops to capture the border soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. This move seemed too rash, but I believe that he must have obtained enough evidence to dare to do so."
Emperor Zhao Xu nodded deeply, but he was still confused. "Then why did the three young ministers of Dali Temple He Yuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice Wang Ding, and the censor Zhang Lun of the Censorate, have such a unified caliber. They all believe that Wang Wushan is bold and unauthorized, and provokes border provocations?"
"I don't understand this very well. These three imperial envoys..." Su Dongpo smashed his mouth, which was really difficult to explain.
"I'm afraid that these three imperial envoys have been prejudiced against Wang Wushan from the beginning, and it is not impossible. So there may be some misunderstandings here."
"Is it prejudice?" Emperor Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously tapped the imperial case with his finger. "I specially reminded them to uphold a fair heart before He Qing, Wang Qing and Zhang Qing left the capital."
"Uphold a fair heart... Your Majesty is wise, but I think there is something strange here." Su Dongpo really couldn't fire at the emperor, huh... Now they are people from the same front, and attacking each other is equivalent to hurting each other, which is not good.
Besides, what they need now is to join hands to fight against the civil and military officials of the court.
"Yes, I also think it's strange. It's better to wait for Wang Wushan's self-defense memorial to discuss this matter." The emperor nodded deeply with consent.
However, although their monarch and ministers have the same ideas, it does not mean that all the civil and military officials of the court agree with their ideas. Next, the court discussion began again, and the result was that the emperor wanted to talk about other things.
But the ministers were unwilling to do so and always wanted to speak out about this matter.
In the end, Emperor Zhao Xumao exploded and directly used his trump card: he turned his sleeves and announced his retreat to the court.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's matter has not yet been concluded. It is related to Jingning between our Song Dynasty and Northern Liao Dynasty. You must not ignore it easily."
"Your Majesty, if the Emperor of Liao heard about this, he would definitely raise troops to attack. At that time, the creatures would be covered with carbon, which would be his fault. Your Majesty must show his attitude."
However, no matter how these civil and military ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet, crying and robbing the earth, the emperor just stood silently outside the back door, frowned.
Seeing that the emperor did not show up, the ministers finally felt boring, but they did not give up. They connected each other and decided to write a letter to impeach Wang Yang to act recklessly. They would never allow this person to continue to take on the important task of serving as the strategic appeasement envoy of Shaanxi North Road.
You must ask Your Majesty to issue an order to imprison Wang Yang, give an explanation to the court, and also give an explanation to Bei Liao. Otherwise, there will be disputes between the two countries, and I don’t know how much military spending will be wasted, how many people will be displaced, and countless soldiers will sacrifice their lives for the country.

After the emperor left the hall, he did not visit the Queen Meng first as usual, but turned around and headed in another direction. Ma Shang quickly followed closely.
This direction is the Spring and Autumn Palace where the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao is located.
"...How is this possible?" After reading the three memorials of impeachment of Wang Yang, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao took off his glasses, rubbed his furrowed eyebrows, and couldn't help but mutter in confusion.
"Grandmother, let alone you, my grandson also thinks it is very strange. However, the confessions and physical evidence that came with these three memorials just proved that Wang Yang indeed led his army to capture these border soldiers of the Liao Kingdom."
"And these three imperial envoys interrogated these 122 border soldiers of the Liao Kingdom overnight. These people all denied that they had committed murder and robbery of money in our Song territory."
"In this way, that boy Wang Wushan has gone from a loyal minister who is determined to avenge the people under his rule to a dereliction of duty who acts recklessly and wants to cover up the truth in order to deal with the imperial envoy." The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao frowned, and she also felt very strange.
After all, Gao Taotao is confident in his understanding of Wang Yang, at least he doesn't think that he can do such stupid things just to deal with the imperial envoy.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be done with caution." In the end, the opinions that Gao Taotao could give to Emperor Zhao Xu were just like this.
"The emperor's grandmother's words are reasonable, and the grandson just wants to suppress this matter in advance and wait and see what Wang Wushan has to say."
"That's right, that's the reason. Let's take a look first. The Ai family also believes that Wang Wushan is not such a stupid person." The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao nodded deeply and said with deep conscience.
Early the next morning, Emperor Zhao Xu failed to wait for Wang Yang's self-defense memorial, so he could only continue to go to court with his teeth. Then he sat down and announced the beginning of the court meeting. With the ministers in the front line, nearly half of the ministers fell to his knees.
The leaders were Jia Yi and others. In addition to a considerable number of senior officials of the old party, many new party members also knelt in it.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to immediately investigate the peace and comfort envoy of the North Road of Shaanxi Province, Lord Wang, is willing to do whatever he wants..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a eunuch rushing towards the emperor Zhao Xu, holding something in his hand and saying loudly. "Report, report quickly..."
Another eight hundred miles of urgent report? The civil and military officials who were interrupted to make a comment couldn't help but look confused. Is this a swelling thing?
"Wait for your family, Ma Shang will bring it to me quickly." Zhao Xu, the emperor behind the imperial case, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called Ma Shang to get it. It must have been Wang Yang's self-defense memorial.
After Ma Shang took it happily, he quickly presented it to the imperial case. Emperor Zhao Xu opened it and saw it, and was stunned.
The civil and military officials in the court who had been paying attention to the emperor's expression felt something was wrong. The main reason was that the emperor's expression seemed a little strange and even surprised.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with the 800-mile north of Shaanxi Road?" Su Dongpo also felt something was wrong, cleared his throat, and asked the doubts in the hearts of all the officials present.
"It is the memorial of He Yuan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Wang Ding, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and Zhang Lun, the Censorate of the Censorate." Emperor Zhao Xu murmured.
All the officials present couldn't help but feel a little confused. Didn't this just impeached Wang Yang yesterday? Could it be that there is new progress?
