Su Jin got up, scratched his head and said, "Where to start?"
Zhao Zhen was both angry and funny at the same time, and said with a straight face: "Let's start with you opening the warehouse to store grain."
Su Jin had no choice but to describe the situation that day in detail, and finally spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in that situation, what can a humble minister do? Zhu Shiyong, the prisoner of Luzhou, was in the way, but it was the dragon.
I really don’t know why I deliberately delayed the delivery of food, which eventually led to the food being robbed by bandits. I waited for a long time in Yangzhou for food to arrive, and it snowed heavily. Countless people froze to death and starved to death every day in Yangzhou City, and they rushed to the city gates one by one.
Go to another place to escape famine; what should I do if the emperor is in Yangzhou?"
Zhao Zhen frowned and didn't answer.
Su Jin said: "The emperor would definitely not be able to leave a warehouse full of 100,000 shi of grain and let the people starve to death. At that time, I also considered it from the emperor's perspective and finally decided to open the military warehouse."
Zhao Zhen glared and said: "You mean, this matter was done on my orders?"
Su Jin smacked his lips and said: "Well... you can't say that. Anyway, I released food to save the people, and I also made it clear to the people that this food was ordered by the emperor for relief, and all the favors belong to you.
, I didn’t get half the benefits.”
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "You are still a dog who can't change your habit of eating shit. You are still committing the crime of perverting the imperial edict by using my name to release grain."
Su Jin thought: Damn, one more crime.
"Who gave you such courage? Who instigated you to do this?" Zhao Zhen slapped his hands on the table randomly, pointed at Su Jin's nose and scolded.
Su Jin was angry. He had spent such a useless day today. He insisted on kneeling down when he saw the emperor. He had merit but was only given a useless official position. Now he was beaten on the head with a memorial.
You are pointed at the nose and scolded, do you really think that I am a son of a bitch? Others think that you are the son of heaven and the lord of the world. I am a brain armed with dialectical materialism, Marxism-Leninism, and I know that you are just an ordinary person, and you are just a human being at best.
Celebrities in history, pull a woolen thread! His head fell off and there was a scar as big as a bowl, and I couldn’t bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I have worked so hard for you, no credit but hard work? It's okay for you to humiliate me for a bullshit official, but now you seem to suspect that I was instigated by someone else.
It’s not very honest if you have bad intentions!”
Zhao Zhenfei was about to burst with anger and cursed: "You still dare to use strong words? Do you not believe that I will chop off your head? Don't think that you know the Taimiao's legacy and can protect your life. I am the emperor, who do I want?"
How can death be stopped by just a few ancestral precepts?"
Su Jin said calmly: "I know, I fully understand that the ancestral precepts are just a trick to win over the people of the world. Whatever happens, it will happen. If you have to chop off my head, just give the order, but if you want to ask the person behind the scenes,
, I can tell you that that person is you, the emperor."
Zhao Zhen laughed angrily and gasped: "You...you are really hopeless."
Su Jin said seriously: "I was ordered by the emperor to handle the grain affairs. I remember you told me at that time that I had full authority to handle the grain affairs. I have never been an official, and I don't know if there is anything in the laws of the Song Dynasty.
As for the provision of military rations to benefit the people, I assumed that I could control it if there was food, so I released the food. Naturally, the prefect of Song Dynasty and the soldiers guarding the granary were unwilling, so I will give you the "As if I'm here in person" sign.
I took it out and forced them to submit; so in fact, it was not me who insisted on releasing the grain, but your sign had an effect. Wasn't it you who instigated it?"
Zhao Zhen was going crazy. This kid was going too far with his strong arguments. He had given him the gold medal to facilitate his actions, but he didn't expect that he would use it to force officials to open warehouses and release grain.
"Su Jin, Su Jin, you are destroying your future. In fact, you used the military rations, and I didn't think anything of it. Otherwise, if I show even a word in the hall today, the officials will cut you to pieces."
Duan; but your attitude really chills me; I won’t say much to you. If you hand over the royal gold medal and explain the true whereabouts of the dragon, I will not punish you. But from now on, if you do it again
If you do something out of line, let's see how I deal with you."
Su Jin shrugged and said: "Your Majesty, neither of these two conditions can satisfy you; if the sign is lost, Long Zhen is dead!"
Zhao Zhen shouted: "What an amazing Su Jin, it seems that you are determined to die."
Su Jin shook his head and said: "I don't want to die, but this matter is no longer up to me."
Zhao Zhen looked hesitant, thinking in his heart, how to deal with this lawless Su Jin. He couldn't kill. Today, he just wanted to reveal the situation he knew and tell Su Jin that he knew all the things he did.
Let him work for him wholeheartedly; if he were to be killed, not only would there be an imbalance of power between Yan Shu and Lu Yijian, but his behavior of personally going out to welcome him yesterday would also become hypocrisy. Zhao Zhen would never do this.
"Su Jin, do you know what I think?"
Su Jin said: "I don't dare to guess."
Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed and said: "You have done so many daring things and now you don't dare to guess?"
Su Jin said: "I guess the emperor is thinking about whether it is Ling Chi, the car is broken, or the minister is cut in half. The minister has only one request. This matter has nothing to do with my family, but I beg the emperor to spare their lives."
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Is this how you guess about me? In your mind, I am like Xia Jie, Shang Zhou and others?"
Su Jin said: "I don't dare. Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king. Naturally, Xia Jie and Shang Zhou are incomparable. It's just that my sin is too great, so I have to think this way."
Zhao Zhen said: "So, do you admit that you are guilty?"
Su Jindao: "I am guilty, but not at fault. I believe that when the news of my death reaches Huainan Road, many people will shed tears of pain for me and wear sackcloth and mourning for me."
Zhao Zhen stared at Su Jin for a long time. Unexpectedly, he did not scold this sentence. Instead, he sighed and said: "I know you feel wronged, and I can understand your situation at that time, but how can you ignore the law so much?"
, How dare you act so recklessly? Just release the army rations, but you dare to kill even the general of the cavalry army, how can you tell me to spare you?"
Su Jin said: "I really didn't kill the dragon."
Zhao Zhen said: "What's the use of denying it now?"
Su Jin raised his hands and said to the sky: "I can swear to God that if the dragon is really killed by my own hands, I will fall into the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn." Su Jin had no psychological burden, and the word "personal hands" in the oath was
The key point is that in fact, Long Zhen died at the hands of Mahan, and he was not killed by him himself.
Zhao Zhen said: "Who killed him? How did you know he was dead?"
Su Jin said: "Someone saw his body. I was busy dealing with Feng Jingyao at the time, so they dragged the body back and sparkled with other corpses. When I remembered, Long Zhen's body had already been reduced to ashes."
Zhao Zhen sat down slumped, rubbing his forehead and having a headache.
Su Jin saw the clues that Zhao Zhen had no intention of killing him at all, otherwise he would have been killed in the hall today. What he told himself at this moment was nothing more than a warning to himself not to treat him as a fool. In addition, he might have another purpose.
"Su Jin, what do you want me to do with you?" Zhao Zhen asked hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want to do with it."
"If you can tell me how you learned about the ancestral precepts on the oath tablet in the Ancestral Temple, I can consider sparing your life." Zhao Zhen suddenly said.
Su Jin was shocked. This Zhao Zhen was really thoughtful. Last time in Beijing, he suspected that Taizu's dream was fabricated by him. Now he brought up the old matter again. It seems that his suspicion has not disappeared. This time
You can't talk about it. Why don't you tell him that I know everything about you and the year you died? Zhao Zhen will definitely kill himself as a monster as soon as he says this.
"It was indeed told by the great ancestor in a dream. Your Majesty, I don't dare to fabricate this kind of thing. Please tell me clearly. Although I also want to live, I don't dare to deceive the Emperor in person."
Zhao Zhen finally sighed and said: "Forget it, I won't ask about this matter anymore. You can go. I haven't thought of how to deal with you for a while. I will store your head on your neck for the time being."
Su Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Zhao Zhen just wanted to control himself, not really want to kill him. But how could he go back empty-handed? Since he couldn't die, Yan Biyun's matter still had to be solved, but now Zhao Zhen
