Shi Miyuan dismissed the two men and drove them out of the court. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was revenge.
Previously, Zhao Yun proposed to treat Shi Miyuan with attention, but Cui Yu and Wei Liaowen took the lead in opposing it. Now Shi Miyuan is trying to scare the monkeys to see who dares to disobey him in the future.
"Humph, if you are in the middle of the court, the country will never have peace."
Wei Liaoweng had a bad temper and was straight-tempered. He cursed, handed over the imperial hut, and left the court angrily.
Cui Yu was older, so he didn't have much anger, and he was prepared for this day.
I saw him taking a few steps forward, raising his hand to Zhao Yun and saying: "Your Majesty, I am old. I have to say goodbye today, and I am afraid I will never see you again. I hope your Majesty will take care of your dragon body."
Cui Yu is sixty-six years old this year. If he can travel thousands of miles, he will most likely die on the road.
This was the case in the Song Dynasty. They said they would not kill scholar-officials, but they liked to demote scholar-officials to remote and backward places. Half of the people who went there either died there or on the road. In fact, it was just a different way of dying.
Zhao Yun's face was calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking in his heart. He just said calmly: "The Chinese New Year will be in two or three months. The Qing family is so old, and one year will be less than one year. Let's spend the New Year with my family before leaving for office.
"
The peaceful Zhao Yun, who knows how angry he is!
Shi Miyuan first ordered people to impeach Xia Zhen, and then dismissed Wei Weng and Cui Yu. This was not a suppression of Zhao Yun. Who would dare to stand with Zhao Yun in the future!
Cui Yu was one of the few people in the court who dared to go against Shi Miyuan, so Zhao Yun naturally tried his best to protect him, and the reasons he gave were hard to argue with.
But Shi Miyuan's arrogance and domineering behavior exceeded Zhao Yun's expectations.
Shi Miyuan said angrily: "The imperial court has its own system, how can it be justified in delaying and neglecting it? If everyone delays like him, doesn't it mean that government affairs are wasted!"
Zhao Yun's eyes were like fire, and an urge to rush down and fight with Shi Miyuan rolled in Zhao Yun's heart.
Cui Yu was worried that Zhao Yun would do something stupid, so he quickly agreed and said he would set off tomorrow.
Everything was agreed upon and the court was about to disperse. Shi Miyuan waved his sleeves and left the hall without waiting for an announcement.
Shi Miyuan was so disrespectful of the king and the law, which made many ministers indignant, but Shi Miyuan was in great power, so they dared not speak out in anger.
When Shi Miyuan left the hall, Xia Zhen found Shi Miyuan, burst into tears of gratitude, and immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Thank you so much, Xianggong Shi, for saving my life. If Xianggong Shi hadn't taken action today, I would have died."
Shi Miyuan was very satisfied with Xia Zhen's performance and got the results he wanted, but his face was still serious.
Shi Miyuan said: "Xia Zhen, as the commander-in-chief of the palace, you should always understand your duties. The officials are young and do not have a deep understanding of everything. You must not follow the officials and make mischief."
Xia Zhencheng was frightened and kept kowtowing, saying: "This official has never had any second thoughts about my husband, and heaven and earth can learn from this."
Only then did Shi Miyuan calm down a little, and then he said a few words of comfort to Xia Zhen, hitting and pulling him to convince him, and then Shi Miyuan left.
Afterwards, Xia Zhen ordered his people to prepare several carts full of gifts and deliver them to Shi Miyuan's house in person, without mentioning these.
Zhao Yun returned to Funing Hall, took off his court clothes and put on regular clothes, and then went fishing in the garden to calm down.
"Xia Gui Xia Yu was told that I wanted to investigate the assassination case and asked them to do the work."
"yes."
Xiao Huangmen got the order and went to summon him. Soon, Xiao Huangmen came back, but he came back alone.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the two generals Xia Guixiayu are not in the palace. They said they were ordered to leave the city and have left Lin'an."
Zhao Yun's hand holding the fishing rod tightened subconsciously. As expected, as soon as Shi Miyuan made a move, Zhao Yun was severely suppressed.
Xia Zhen was frightened, knowing that Shi Miyuan was already suspicious of him, so he did not dare to let Xia Gui and Xia Yun follow Zhao Yun any more, so he sent them all out.
It took a lot of effort to recruit half of his capable men, but they can no longer be used.
How can a lonely person like Zhao Yun accomplish anything if he cannot rely on the strength of others?
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and went through many ministers in the court in his mind. He found that after Shi Miyuan took action this time, it would be very difficult for him to recruit someone to help, and it would be extremely easy to be discovered.
"How to break the situation?"
With the problem in front of him, Zhao Yun frowned and thought about countermeasures.
After fishing quietly for a while, Zhao Yun suddenly stood up and returned to Funing Palace. On the way, he said, "Pass an edict to Zheng Qingzhi to come see me."
Xiaohuangmen agreed and went down.
Soon, Zheng Qingzhi came, with a calm face and no fear at all. Obviously, Shi Miyuan's strength and blessing gave Zheng Qingzhi confidence.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Qingzhi, has met with you."
"No gift."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and motioned for all the little Huangmen and palace maids around him to step back.
"Close the door."
"yes."
The small yellow door outside agreed and closed the door. The movement inside could no longer be seen clearly from the outside. Only Zhao Yun and Zheng Qingzhi were left in the room.
"I wonder what important matter your Majesty has summoned me to?"
Zhao Yun dismissed everyone and stopped talking, quietly reading the book. Zheng Qingzhi couldn't help but take the initiative to ask questions.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, put down the book, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and said while writing: "Teacher, please sit down first."
"I don't dare."
Zheng Qingzhi replied, thinking that Zhao Yun would start to explain the reason for summoning him, but who knew that Zhao Yun continued to practice calligraphy as if no one was around, but did not say another word.
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Yun still didn't speak. When Zheng Qingzhi was no longer there, Zheng Qingzhi asked helplessly: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned the minister?"
"Teacher, do you want to have a drink of tea first?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not thirsty."
Zheng Qingzhi wanted to ask again, but found that Zhao Yun had lowered his head and was writing his calligraphy again.
Zheng Qingzhi had no choice but to continue waiting without pressing any questions. It wasn't until half an hour passed and Zhao Yun had finished writing more than a dozen sheets of paper that he said, "Teacher, it's late, you should go back first."
Zheng Qingzhi was stunned for a while. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he was waiting for such a sentence. If it had been anyone else, no matter how well-educated Zheng Qingzhi was, he would have hit someone with an inkstone.
"Yes, I will retire."
After Zheng Qingzhi left, Zhao Yun looked at one of his calligraphy masterpieces and saw that it said, "Leverage your strength to fight, and draw out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
But he said that Zheng Qingzhi stayed in Zhao Yun's room for more than half an hour, with the door and windows closed, and he didn't know what he said.
This was not a trivial matter, and I did not dare to neglect it. The Xiaohuangmen and the palace maids who were responsible for monitoring Zhao Yun quickly sent the news out. Empress Dowager Yang and Shi Miyuan soon got the news.
