Yuan Shao and Zhang Chu came in and raised their hands to salute. Zhao Yun looked at the two of them and didn't know whether he should be happy that Yuan Shao was dedicated to serving the public and was not afraid of authority. Or he should be angry that Yuan Shao didn't know how to adapt and had a stupid head.
After a long time, Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Qing family, who gave you the information to stop people?"
Yuan Shao raised his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I received a report from the mistress that Yan's family members were missing, and more than one person came to the government office to report to the officials, so I ordered people to investigate, and then they found the Imperial City Secretary, and learned that they were missing today
I left the city early in the morning. I have to ask about my duties. I also ask your majesty to make an impartial decision and protect the justice and goodness of the Song Dynasty."
"The Imperial City Department is directly under the emperor. It has the right to prioritize arrests and also has the right to judge on its own. The Qing family has been an official for half of their lives. I don't need to remind you about this, right?"
"I know, but there are many people involved in this matter, and those who were arrested are also crying out for injustice. If I turn a blind eye, how can I feel at ease? How will the people trust the government and the court in the future?"
Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Shao with a faint look, hoping to express his attitude with his eyes, so that Yuan Shao would retreat and withdraw from the incident, so that both parties could end with dignity.
However, Yuan Shao did not dodge Zhao Yun's gaze at all, nor was he afraid. He raised his hand solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending Your Majesty, nor do I have the intention to embarrass the Imperial City Secretary. I just need a fair trial to prevent my good deeds from being wronged."
.”
Zhao Yun was disappointed and slowly stood up and said: "The Imperial City Division has already investigated this matter thoroughly. I have also read the files. There are no problems. This matter ends here. The Qing family does not need to worry about it."
After saying that, Zhao Yun didn't wait for Yuan Shao to speak, and said to Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, you continue your errands over there, go ahead."
Zhao Yun understood that the Imperial City Division was his own sword, and it was also a key execution force for his future reforms. Its importance could even determine the success or failure of the reform. Zhao Yun could not let the Imperial City Division's prestige be damaged.
After saying that, Zhao Yun ignored him and turned around to leave.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Chu was overjoyed and agreed happily. Just as he was about to go down, he was stopped by Yuan Shao who pressed his hand angrily. He sternly said to Zhang Chu: "Wait a minute."
Yuan Shao stopped Zhang Chu. At this time, Yuan Shao wanted to intervene in the case to avoid an unjust, false, or wrongful conviction. He was very excited. Then, a scene that made people laugh and cry happened and was recorded in history books.
Yuan Shao didn't know which tendon was wrong, but he grabbed Zhang Chu's wrist and not only refused to let him go, but also pulled him across the table, directly caught up with Zhao Yun, and walked in front of Zhao Yun.
He stopped Zhao Yun and refused to let him go.
At this time, Yuan Shao was extremely close to Zhao Yun, and he wanted Zhao Yun to comment.
Yuan Shao was anxious and said excitedly to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Department is your Majesty's private office, but your Majesty's private office is also a public instrument of the state. If you let it go and ignore it, won't the Imperial City Department be lawless in the future!"
Yuan Shao spoke very excitedly, with a very imposing look, and his spit spit splashed onto Zhao Yun's face.
Zhao Yun was a little confused. What was going on? Why did he feel like he had met a stupid cow?
Zhao Yun couldn't turn his head around. When he turned around, Gao Shi and Zhang Chu had already blocked Yuan Shao in front of him, preventing Yuan Shao from getting any closer to him. They shouted loudly: "Protect him, protect him."
"
It has to be said that Yuan Shao's sudden move not only confused Zhao Yun, but also Zhang Chu and Gao Shi. Their first reaction was to protect Zhao Yun and never let anyone have the possibility of harming Zhao Yun.
After hearing this, other Xiaohuangmen and palace maids swarmed over, and then many of them worked together to pull Yuan Shao away from Zhao Yun. One Xiaohuangmen even punched Yuan Shao in the face.
Shao's face suddenly turned blue.
Yuan Shao was pulled by many people and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and was able to stand firm in the end. However, his waist was not too far away. The pain was excruciating. He was being pulled there, his expression was painful, and the corners of his mouth hurt.
Twitch.
But in the end, his stubbornness still allowed him to hold back the pain and not cry out.
Yuan Shao held back the pain in his back and shouted to the little Huangmen and palace maids who were pulling him: "I don't want to hurt Your Majesty. Don't get me wrong. I just want Your Majesty to judge."
At this time, the imperial guard Wang Wushi and Deng Ming were startled when they saw the chaos inside, and hurried in to protect Zhao Yun's safety.
Zhao Yun reacted and saw Yuan Shao's expression of pain and his hands trying to hold his waist. Zhao Yun was shocked. He knew that Yuan Shao was old, his legs and feet were not good, and his waist was even worse. If he slipped his waist, he would be crippled.
Isn't it true that I am missing an important minister?
Zhao Yun hurriedly said to Master Wang and Deng Ming: "I'm fine. Please hurry up and declare the imperial doctor. Yuan Qing's family is out of the way."
Martial Master Wang and Deng Ming originally ran in to protect Zhao Yun and prevent Yuan Shao from harming Zhao Yun, but now they had no choice but to send the imperial doctor over.
"Quickly release, quickly release. I'm fine. It's all a misunderstanding."
Afterwards, Zhao Yun quickly sent people away, supported Yuan Shao himself, and asked with concern: "Qing family, are you okay?"
Yuan Shao's face turned red, with a bruise on his face, and he said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I don't have any ill intentions, I'm just a little anxious."
Zhao Yun comforted: "I know, but your behavior is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. Don't do this in the future. If you are really beaten to death, there will be no reason for you."
The imperial doctor came quickly and examined and treated Yuan Shao. He determined that he only had a waist injury, but it was not too serious and nothing serious. He said that he would be fine after regular massage and recovery.
Zhao Yun immediately ordered people to send him back to his mansion to be raised, and ordered the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Yuan Shao regularly in the future.
Yuan Shao said before leaving: "Your Majesty, your Majesty must make a fair decision on this case and cannot let the Imperial City Division act arbitrarily."
Zhao Yun looked serious and said: "The Imperial City Secretary is my personal one. If he acts arbitrarily, I will act arbitrarily. As an emperor, isn't it allowed for me to act arbitrarily?"
Yuan Shao was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
Zhao Yun said again: "Okay, the Qing family will take good care of themselves. I will order people to open the files on this matter so that the people can check and know. If there is an unjust, false and wrong case, someone from the Imperial City Department will take responsibility. The Qing family can rest assured.
"
Yuan Shao knew that he could get Zhao Yun to make such a promise, which was already a great victory. If he wanted to go further, he was afraid that he would not even get this sentence, so Yuan Shao did not say anything more and was supported by Master Wang.
Went back to the mansion.
Watching Yuan Shao's back leave, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "This Yuan Shao is a true upright minister."
After sighing with emotion, Zhao Yun said to Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, spread what just happened among the people. I want to raise Yuan Shao's image."
"ah?"
Zhang Chu opened his mouth wide and didn't understand why, but he didn't ask any more questions and obeyed the order.
