When Shi Miyuan heard Zheng Qingzhi's voice, he immediately became furious. He stood up and rushed forward quickly, intending to beat Zheng Qingzhi.
Zheng Qingzhi was startled and hurriedly backed away. Two government officials stepped forward and hugged Shi Miyuan tightly.
Originally, Shi Miyuan was going to be taught a lesson, but the government officials, considering Shi Miyuan's identity, did not take action in the end. They just stopped letting Shi Miyuan get close to Zheng Qingzhi.
Zheng Qingzhi had no choice but to speak outside the prison door. Zheng Qingzhi said: "Xiangong Shi, why do you and I have to be so unhappy when we are in the same room?"
Shi Miyuan cursed through the cell door: "Zheng Qingzhi, you are such a wolf-hearted idiot, if I hadn't recommended you in the first place, would you have become the emperor's master? Could you have become famous and wealthy? Now that you betray me for the sake of glory and wealth, there will always be a chance.
One day, you will die in Zhao Yun's hands."
Zheng Qingzhi showed a wry smile and said: "Shi Miyuan, if you hadn't pressed hard on the officials and treated them as if they were nothing, how could the officials fight for power with you? Now that you have lost, all the faults will be blamed on you.
If it comes to my head, is it possible that everything you did was caused by me asking you to do it?"
Shi Miyuan was furious for a moment and speechless.
Zheng Qingzhi added: "Now the case of your rebellion has been confirmed, but after all, you and I have been friends for many years. I can't bear to have you punished by everyone. If there is a chance, I will plead for you in front of the officials.
Forgive your family, but you cannot be saved."
As soon as Shi Miyuan heard that his family might survive, his attitude softened. He no longer looked at Zheng Qingzhi with such hatred, and even looked more hopeful and praying.
Zheng Qingzhi saw Shi Miyuan's expression in his eyes and felt proud.
Then, Zheng Qingzhi looked troubled and said: "Xiangong Shi, I have just taken charge of the political affairs hall. Before I had time to familiarize myself with government affairs, I encountered a difficult problem. I would like to ask Xianggong Shi to help me clear up my confusion."
Shi Miyuan knew that Zheng Qingzhi was making conditions, but in order not to harm his wife, children, and children, Shi Miyuan had no choice but to try his best to agree to Zheng Qingzhi's conditions.
But how did he know that Zhao Yun had just pardoned his family's death penalty at the court meeting, and he didn't need to talk to Zheng Qingzhi at all.
Zheng Qingzhi told the story about the disappearance of Sichuan soldiers' pay and asked Shi Miyuan to tell him the truth.
Shi Miyuan's face was solemn and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he said: "Don't investigate this matter. It will be useless."
Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly asked: "You really know the inside story. Tell me quickly, who is behind this matter? As long as you tell me, I promise to save your family."
Shi Miyuan was tempted and hesitated for a while. He didn't want to say anything, but in order to save his family, he said: "The Queen Mother did this. I didn't want to agree to it at the time, but she kept forcing me and there was no other way, so I agreed to open the door."
Close one eye and let her do whatever she wants."
"What, is the Queen Mother?" Zheng Qingzhi was surprised. He didn't expect that the mastermind behind this matter was actually the Queen Mother. This was very difficult to handle. But he actually found out about it by accident, and he didn't know that this was a blessing for him.
It's a disaster.
"Why did the Queen Mother do this? Doesn't she know that the issue of military pay is of great importance?" Zheng Qingzhi asked.
Shi Miyuan smiled disdainfully and said: "She is a woman, how does she know how important things are? If she knew the importance, she would not have removed the curtain in the court. Not only did I die without a burial place, but she
I also want to look up to others in the palace."
"What about the money?"
"I didn't know that at that time I just gave her the documents to withdraw military pay. I didn't participate in other matters."
Zheng Qingzhi felt troubled and left in a hurry.
"Zheng Qingzhi, don't forget that my family is young. If you dare not plead, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
"Don't worry, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me." Zheng Qingzhi left the prison of the Criminal Department without looking back.
Soon, the news of Zhao Yun's forgiveness to all his family members spread. Shi Miyuan had extensive connections in the party, so he naturally learned the news very quickly.
All of them were happy and regretful at the same time. They were happy that the young man could avoid death, but they regretted that if they had known that Zhao Yun was so kind, why would they have done the act of abolishing the establishment in the first place!
When Shi Miyuan heard the news, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He cursed loudly: "Zheng Qingzhi, I am your grandma."
Chui Gong Hall.
Zhao Yun was sitting in the study, listening carefully to Zhang Chu's report.
Previously, Zhao Yun was very unhappy because some Yan Guan interceded for Shi Miyuan. Zhao Yun asked Zhang Chu to secretly find out who was instigating these Yan Guan. Now that Zhang Chu had the news, he came to report it immediately.
Zhang Chu said: "Your Majesty, I secretly investigated and found that they were entrusted by Shi Miyuan's nephew Shi Songzhi, and it seems that the Queen Mother also knew about it. I found out that Jia Chong, the leader of Huangmen, had secretly left the palace and met him.
The person who killed Shi Songzhi."
"Shi Songzhi."
Zhao Yun stood up, recalling in his mind, and finally remembered that he had seen this name on the official list and knew that he was the son of Shi Miyuan's brother Shi Mizhong. He was now serving as a judge in Xiangyang. He was quite capable and had good reputation.
good.
Forget it, my nephew's saving of his uncle was justified by both emotion and reason, so it was not an unforgivable sin.
Moreover, he had issued a decree to dismiss all family members of criminal officials who participated in the rebellion. Shi Songzhi would soon go home to eat old rice, so there was no need for him to care too much about it.
Zhao Yun nodded and said to Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, you have done a good job in this matter. I am very satisfied. Tomorrow you will go to the Imperial City Department as an errand to become more familiar with the operations there.
Remember, you can offend people wherever you go. With me supporting you, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone, but you can’t join in with them. My people are people who can do things and abide by the laws of the country. The salary and status given to you by the court can be
Enough for you to live a decent life for a lifetime, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Chu was overjoyed to be promoted, but at the same time he was very uneasy about Zhao Yun's instructions. He knelt on the ground and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I will do a good job for your Majesty, and I will never let you down."
"Well, let's go down."
Zhao Yun secretly planned that after Zhang Chu got acquainted with the Imperial City Division and asked him to take charge of the Imperial City Division, he would be able to take the Imperial City Division into his own hands.
At that time, the entire intelligence and arrest system of Lin'an City was under his control. Xia Gui, Gao Shi and the others were in the palace, and Han Hong was in charge of military affairs outside the palace. He no longer had to worry about the prime minister having too much power and evading the imperial power.
situation.
Recalling that Empress Dowager Yang had intervened in rescuing Shi Miyuan, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she was still unwilling to give up her power and wanted to rescue Shi Miyuan so that she could make a comeback in the future.
