Chapter 710 Scholar-official: The credit clearly belongs to Lin Chong and has nothing to do with Gao Qiu!
"Get up! Get up!"
Zhao Ji was startled by his sudden cry. He stood up slightly and made a gesture of support.
Gao Qiu was still lying on the ground, crying loudly.
This is not a pure act. What happened this night was something I never dared to think about before. After walking through the gate of hell, I have to face the unknown attitude of the officials next. Even the prime minister has to be frightened.
No, let alone him.
However, after crying, Gao Qiu still said the main point: "Jia Xiang led the traitors from the Ministry of Internal Affairs... to ambush you Jiasumen... They... they want to kill me!"
Zhao Ji's face changed slightly.
While waiting, he also imagined this possibility. Gao Qiu and Jia Xiang had a conflict. After all, the two people had a feud, and the Xixia secret agent was still locked up in the Imperial City, which was a witness.
But Jia Xiang directly attacked Gao Qiu, and the guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials from the Imperial City Department of the Outer Dynasty had a life-and-death conflict. Zhao Ji still didn't believe it. That was too arrogant and domineering. Am I an official, or are they officials?
Home?
But when Gao Qiu spoke next, Zhao Ji understood: "In order to track down the murderer, I raided the Fax Temple and found several large cars of evidence. They were all Xixia spies disguised as the host Zhenghong, and bribed important officials in the court.
, the most greedy among them is Jia Xiang, with more than 300,000 yuan!"
Hearing the number, Zhao Ji's cheek muscles twitched slightly: "This gelding... is so greedy! When did you inspect the temple?"
Gao Qiu said: "Tonight!"
Zhao Ji frowned: "You raided the temple and then entered the palace with evidence of crime? You just..."
Are you so anxious to put Jia Xiang to death? Zhao Ji swallowed half of his sentence.
But Jia Xiang's motive has been found. Once these eunuchs get the news, how can they sit still and wait for death?
When Gao Qiu heard the official's tone, he became dissatisfied and felt aggrieved: "I am worried that these thieves are so bold that they will be detrimental to the official!"
Zhao Ji sighed: "Gao Qing's family, I know your loyalty, but it is inevitably used in the wrong place. Xixia is a small country in danger. If you dare to go against the will of nature, you should send troops to punish him severely. Why do you care about it?
?”
Gao Qiu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, you must not look down upon the Western thief, let alone let the eunuchs cause harm to the palace and hide their evil intentions. Today they dare to murder the ministers and isolate the inside and outside. How can we know that they will not commit treason in the future?"
Zhao Ji raised the corner of his mouth: "You really look like what the people call Qing Tian!"
Even Zhao Ji himself couldn't tell clearly how much appreciation and how much sarcasm there was in the complicated tone when he said this.
However, he agreed with the second half of Gao Qiu's sentence. Eunuchs are eunuchs after all. If they dare to kill ministers without permission in prison, is that okay?
After figuring out the cause and effect, Zhao Ji was not happy, but his face calmed down a little: "So you killed the Jia thief instead? Gao Xiaoyi, I don't know that you still have such martial arts. In the future, you will go to the Western Region to perform meritorious service, and then return to the court. Taiwei
There is hope! Get up!"
Since it was a false alarm, this comfort was necessary. Jia Xiang was already dead, so it was not worth thinking about. If the other party made the first move, the other eunuchs could just beat it, and everything else remained as usual.
But Gao Qiu did not get up, but continued: "I killed more than just Jia Xiang."
Zhao Ji was startled. Of course he knew that there was more than one person, and there must be close associates and subordinates around Jia Xiang, but when did those internal servants count as superiors...
But then, Zhao Ji realized something, and his face suddenly darkened: "There was such a big movement outside just now, how many more servants have you killed?"
Gao Qiu kowtowed and said, "I can't stop it for a moment. The Ministry of Internal Affairs... There are only ordinary internal servants left in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Zhao Ji's eyes became sharp: "So, if you want to kill Gao Tidian, all the internal officials, big and small, have a hand in it?"
Gao Qiu cried again, and this time he was a little more dramatic: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I was so scared at that time that I really thought they were conspiring to harm me. Later I realized that Jia Xiang was the only one, but it was too late.
, please forgive me! Forgive me!"
Zhao Ji understands the selfish nature of eunuchs very well. Yang Jian and Lan Congxi will never plan together because of Jia Xiang's affairs. If Gao Qiu dares to deceive him, he will be dragged down and executed immediately.
But even if Gao Qiu didn't lie to him, Zhao Ji couldn't accept it. All his cronies turned against him. First, the servants killed Gao Qiu, and then Gao Qiu massacred the servants. Is this a repeat of the palace coup of the previous dynasty? But the previous coup of King Jian was
A game, not real, not real!
"etc!"
However, after becoming furious, Zhao Ji suddenly realized something and immediately became excited: "Did you kill all Jia Xiang, Yang Jian, Lan Congxi... and their trusted servants?"
Gao Qiu said: "Jia Xiang, Yang Jian, and He Sui have all been brought to justice, and their cronies have not been able to escape. Only Lan Congxi is missing..."
Zhao Ji's expression changed drastically: "So, everyone else is dead, only Lan Congxi escaped?"
Gao Qiu said: "The person who was executed was also the murderer of Zhao Zhongcheng's family, Dong Ping. This son was originally a member of the imperial army in Beijing. He was very brave and was selected as a guard by Zhao Zhongcheng. Later..."
"enough!!"
Zhao Ji didn't care at all how Zhao Tingzhi's family died. He pointed at Gao Qiu, his hands trembling: "You, you, you! Go after Lan Congxi! You must capture this thief. You must see him alive and you must see him dead."
corpse!"
Gao Qiu was startled. He didn't understand at all. The greatest ability of a chamberlain is to control the situation in the palace. What does it mean if he is outside the palace?
But thinking that the officials did not blame me and asked me to arrest people, I couldn't help but get excited and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty, I will go now!"
"Go quickly! Go quickly!!"
At this time, Zhao Ji also couldn't care less about whether to forgive Gao Qiu's sins or not. He only had one thought in his mind: if the others died, Lan Congxi would definitely not be alive.
Because Lan Congxi was present throughout the night when Queen Mother Xiang died.
When a fire broke out in the palace, Lan Congxi was the first to lead people in!
It was Lan Congxi who supported me when my legs were weak and my feet were weak and I couldn’t walk!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This person has witnessed the whole process, and with his official position, he is much more important than the few maids given to King Jian before. This person can bring him
The key figures who were completely crucified for the crime of matricide, and the others could just let one or two go away in a humble manner. If Lan Congxi were let go, wouldn't he have trouble sleeping and eating in the future?
The palace was like an ant on a hot pot spinning around for many times. Zhao Ji finally couldn't help it and jumped in anger: "How come this year has been so miserable!"
…
"The envoy Yang was killed... Gao Qiu bloodbathed the Ministry of Internal Affairs... I didn't expect this person to be so ruthless..."
"Thankfully I was prepared!"
Outside the palace, Lan Congxi listened to the anxious reports from his confidants and showed signs of shock and anger at first. However, as an internal official who saw with his own eyes how the emperor kicked the queen mother to death and then burned her alive, Lan Congxi remained calm.
Extremely fast.
He knows very well that his greatest value is the absolute witness of the official matricide. He can vividly describe the cause and effect, every detail, ensuring that no one will disbelieve it. Of course, the official will not let it go.
he.
"Once Gao Qiu comes to the palace to report, the officials will definitely ask him to hunt me down. However, the fewer people who know about it, the better. The officials did not inform Gao Qiu before, and that's why the Western Xia spy was arrested. This time it is even less likely.
meeting!"
Lan Congxi immediately issued an order: "You will enter Gao's mansion later and kill the servants and maids. Do not harm Gao Qiu's immediate family members and capture them all alive."
The men looked at each other, thinking that it would be easy to kill them all, but it would be difficult to capture him alive: "Everyone knows that Gao Qiu was once sued by his father and driven out of the capital. The relationship between father and son is not very deep. We are afraid that if we capture his family alive and threaten him,
It won’t have much good effect…”
Lan Congxi warned: "Relationships may not be good, but sitting back and watching your loved ones die is not something ordinary people can do. These hostages are very important. You must catch them carefully!"
The subordinates reluctantly accepted the order: "Yes!"
Fortunately, they soon became helpless.
Because after breaking into the high mansion, what he saw was not the servants who had rested and were defenseless.
Rather, they were led by Gao Lian and the imperial city soldiers who treated them sternly.
"put!!"
The crossbow arrows shot out from the string, and a series of screams immediately sounded. Gao Lian took the lead and led the crowd to fight back and kill them.
The only two people in the courtyard who didn't move were Li Yan and Fan Chunli, whom he invited.
Fan Chunli said solemnly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have thought that these internal servants would be so bold as to be so bold as to isolate the inside and outside without any scruples and murder the imperial officials!"
As he said that, he looked at Li Yan: "If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. This is what Erlang can say!"
As Fan Zhongyan's son, it was a very high praise to praise him with this sentence. Li Yan said: "Fan Gong is so complimentary!"
Fan Chunli said: "There is no need to belittle oneself. This time, Erlang should be remembered as the first to eliminate the eunuchs in the palace, and the martyrs of Sui'an Academy will also be famous all over the world!"
Li Yandao: "I did contribute, but the one who deserves the most credit is Gao Qingtian. He ignored the fact that Jia Thief was a popular figure in front of the government, resolutely searched the temple for evidence of crime, and risked the Qing Dynasty for the sake of justice."
, Execute the eunuchs."
Fan Chunli was silent for a moment and whispered: "Erlang, since you have come to see me, I will tell you the truth. You must be the first to kill the eunuchs. You are unwilling. This is also the case among scholars.
statement!"
The scholar-bureaucrats could not accept the righteous deeds of Lin Chong of Sui'an Academy, who killed the eunuchs in the Imperial City and had their prestige increased again. What Fan Chunli adopted was a compromise that satisfied all parties.
Li Yan said calmly: "I have a reputation that spreads all over the world. If I say I don't want to, it would be hypocrisy. But the reputation that Gao Qingtian deserves should be given to him. If I don't give it to him now, he will pay it back one day... Mr. Fan, farewell
!”
Seeing the figure leaving without hesitation, Fan Chunli stood there and sighed deeply as he thought of his former subordinate Gongsun Zhao.
There are some things that he knows very well but finds it difficult to express.
Yama... Qingtian...
The officialdom of the Song Dynasty needed such a figure, but there was no room for it!
