Chapter 616: The ministers are forcing the palace, inside and outside the chess game
It was early morning again, and Zhao Shengao was sitting on the dragon chair. However, the main hall below that should have been crowded with people was empty. Except for a few people, no one came.
Zhang Jun stood at the front with a frown on his face, Ma Shao, the third commander, had a solemn face! And Zhao Shen's face was even more visibly full of anger.
"You mean, all the courtiers are kneeling outside the palace right now?"
Zhao Shen's face was filled with frost and he asked Wang Quan beside him.
Wang Quan hurriedly lowered his body and replied nervously, "Your Majesty, the rest of the courtiers are indeed outside the palace!"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhao Shen said word by word, "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty actually used this to force the palace. They are indeed my good ministers! This is what they call loyal king and patriotism, this is what they call loyal ministers!"
"Snapped!"
The memorial on the Dragon Case was directly revealed by Zhao Shen who was still in the main hall!
"It has been nearly two hundred years since the Song Dynasty began. It seems that they really want me to leave a bad name in the history books!"
Zhao Shen said coldly, "Zhang Jun, lead the guards to imprison everyone on death row! I want to see whether these people's heads are stronger or my sword is stronger!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Led by Zhang Jun and Ma Shao, the remaining dozen or so courtiers hurriedly prostrated themselves! If they really sent all the civil and military officials in the court to death row in a fit of rage, it would not only be a huge joke, but also a huge disaster. things.
Let’s not talk about the power and influence behind these people. If the court needs to run, it really depends on these people.
If all these people go on strike, it will be a big chaos! Although it is said that everyone will change if the court leaves, but once so many people are suddenly missing, it will definitely cause huge waves.
"No!"
Zhao Shen sneered, "These people dare to force the palace, what else can they do?
Without these people, my Song Dynasty will still be the Song Dynasty!"
"I also ask Your Majesty to take back the order, ask me to find out the reason, and then report back to Your Majesty."
Ma Shao also hurriedly spoke.
With Zhang Jun and Ma Shao's persuasion, Zhao Shen finally calmed down his anger. However, he ignored Ma Shao's words and walked away directly.
After Zhao Shen returned to the main hall, the anger on his face disappeared, but his expression remained solemn.
In fact, with the Imperial City Department monitoring these courtiers, the scene before him was almost something he expected.
However, it came a bit suddenly, and it happened on the occasion of going to court.
"Go and call Wang Hu over to me."
Zhao Shen said calmly.
Wang Quan nodded and gave instructions to the chamberlain outside the main hall.
Not long after, Wang Hu hurried over under the guidance of a chamberlain.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Wang Hu, do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate?"
Zhao Shen asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the DPRK are headed by Zhu Zhuo, and the three provinces and six ministries, including Yushitai, are all involved! Moreover, there are already students and nobles among the people who are guiding public opinion. Now, the matter of Geng Wang, the magistrate of Lianli City, has been spread The uproar, however, obscured the true nature of the matter, which was mainly based on the hope that the crime would not lead to death.
In addition, my subordinates have discovered that student gatherings have begun in more than ten state capitals, and they are still spreading at an extremely fast speed."
"Zhu Zhuo..." Zhao Shen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If possible, he would like to just take off the old guy's head.
However, first of all, Zhu Zhuo had great prestige. If there was no sufficient reason to kill him, it would cause a great disturbance.
Secondly, the law does not punish the masses. If a few people dare to persecute them, they can be dragged out and chopped without further explanation, and the matter will naturally subside.
However, this matter has now involved too many people, and even Zhao Shen, as the emperor, would never dare to go on a killing spree.
Unless, he risks chaos in the world!
And the reason why these courtiers dare to do this is precisely for this reason! What is the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world?
Precisely because if you want to manage the world, you need to rely on these people, so these people are unscrupulous and have no fear that Zhao Shen will really take action against them.
"What happened to Zhang Tianhua?"
Zhao Shen asked again.
"Never!"
Wang Hu replied, "Zhang Tianhua has been speaking in simple terms recently, and even he was not involved in this incident. He just claimed to be ill and stayed at home.
My subordinates also secretly investigated, but now they have not found out anything else."
"Um!"
Zhao Shen nodded, "Go ahead and follow my instructions. Since they want to give me a blow, I will give them this chance!"
In Zhu Zhuo's small courtyard, there is a chessboard with clear black and white. Zhu Zhuo and Tang Si retreat to sit on both sides.
The black chess piece in Zhu Zhuo's hand has occupied a large area. Tang Situi's mind is obviously not on the chess game, and the chess board can only shrink to a corner. It is estimated that he will have to surrender in a few moves!
"Sir, if we force Your Majesty like this, will it trigger His Majesty's counterattack?
In addition, although Your Excellency did not come forward, I cannot escape His Majesty's sight even if I think about it."
Tang Sihui said with a bit of worry.
Zhu Zhuo smiled, dropped a chess piece, and said softly, "We are already in the chess game, and even His Majesty cannot escape from it.
Therefore, as long as your Majesty still has some sense, he will not overturn the chessboard directly.
Otherwise, no one will be able to bear the consequences.
In a chess game, no matter who you are, you need to follow certain rules.
So, there is no need to worry! Today, the ministers are forcing the palace, which is just the beginning. Your Majesty naturally has his plan. However, now I am standing outside the chess game, so I can naturally see a little more of the world than Your Majesty. Therefore, this time Your Majesty cannot win this game of chess!"
"Now that the first move has been settled, it's time to move the second piece."
Tang Situi nodded slightly when he heard this, but the next moment he saw that his dragon had been surrounded, and the overall situation of the chess game was decided!
Although the turmoil in the court was surging, Shen Tang still sat firmly at home. Things started because of Shen Tang and broke out because of Lianli City. However, at this moment, Shen Tang, the 'initiator', was outside the chess game, watching the storm with a smile. !
"My Lord Shen, everything in the court has exploded, and you just sit here and watch?
Aren't you afraid that these people will change His Majesty's mind?
Although this matter has little to do with Your Majesty, once they really suppress His Majesty, it will be extremely detrimental to Lord Shen."
"These people are very thoughtful. Although Master Shen is outside the chess game at this time, these people probably won't let you watch.
Sooner or later, adults will also get involved!"
In the hall, the two of them were sitting opposite each other drinking tea!
One of them is naturally Shen Tang, and the other is a somewhat unexpected figure, Xiang Liang, the then prefect of Shaoxing!
