Chapter 86: The Emperor’s discernment recognizes loyalties and traitors
Chapter 86 The emperor has a keen eye to identify loyalties and traitors
As the executioner raised the knife and dropped it, the head of the demon Dao Lin Lingsu fell to the ground and rolled to the edge of the stage, frightening more than a hundred civil servants and sighing.
When seventy-year-old Dazai Yu Shen saw this bloody scene, he closed his eyes tightly in fear, his heart beat violently, and he felt dizzy.
Just when Yu Shen was staggering, Zhang Bangchang, the Minister beside him, Zuo Cheng, had quick hands and eyes, and he helped Yu Shen.
Yu Shen was so frightened that he saw the executioner being beheaded. What he was afraid of was that the current Zhao official family could actually kill Lin Lingsu, the most trusted Taoist master a few days ago.
Yu Shen secretly sighed in his heart, even if I am the Dazai in the position, when Lin Lingsu is in the spotlight, I still have to sit on Lin Suling's lowered hand...
Nowadays, Lin Lingsu, who was once a powerful figure in the capital and even in the country, has fallen out of favor with the Zhao Guan family and ended up with his body buried in a different place!
Why did Zhao Guan's character and preferences change so much in just a few days?
Alas! It’s true that the king is accompanied by the tiger!
Then I must be careful...
In fact, most of the civil servants who were hinted by the Zhao family to come and see the beheaded demon Daolin Lingsu had similar thoughts to Dazai Yu Shen.
As a time traveler, Zhao Ji, although he once watched a costume drama, he also saw on the screen the beheading of death row prisoners on the execution ground.
However, it was all acting and all fake. The "head" that was chopped off in the play must be fake and just a prop.
Otherwise, how much appearance fee should be paid to the actor who plays the death row prisoner?
However, at this time, Zhao Ji watched the beheading of the demon Dao Lin Lingsu at close range...
His mood is tense, but on the surface he has to act a bit more showy and still look calm and calm.
Zhao Ji worked hard to raise the corners of his mouth slightly, looking down at the officials and people in the audience.
At this time, the eunuch Liang Shicheng was still clever. He took the lead to kneel down to Zhao Guan's family again and shouted:
"The evil demon Dao Lin Lingsu has been rectified.
All because,
The emperor has a keen eye to recognize the loyal and the traitor,
Long live my emperor!"
With Liang Shicheng's rhythm, more than a hundred civil servants in the front row suppressed their heart palpitations after watching the beheading punishment, and fell to their knees one after another, shouting in unison: "
The emperor has a keen eye to recognize the loyal and the traitor,
Long live my emperor!"
Below the execution ground, the tens of thousands of people watching the excitement who were clapping their hands and cheering saw the group of officials in purple and red robes in front of them knelt down to congratulate Zhao Guan's family. They also followed suit and knelt down to kowtow.
They all shouted:
"The emperor has a keen eye to recognize the loyal and the traitor,
Long live my emperor!"
Zhao Ji is very useful, enjoying the glory and majesty brought to him by the supreme imperial power! His mood has also improved, and he is not as nervous as when he just saw the demon Dao Lin Lingsu being executed...
However, when Liang Shicheng, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, first shouted out "The emperor has a keen eye to recognize loyalties and traitors", Zhao Ji always felt that it was a bit inconsistent and ironic.
However, now is not the time to deal with Liang Shicheng. For the time being, we have to use him to remove other traitorous officials!
…………
Zhao Jidao: "Everyone is safe."
All the ministers and people stood up one after another.
For the ministers to see Lin Lingsu being beheaded, and the Zhao family visiting the execution ground in person, it was definitely a torture...
And for the tens of thousands of people who came to see the excitement, they not only saw the beheading of the demon Dao Lin Lingsu, but also saw the long face of the emperor Zhao Guan's family, it was definitely a gain...
Therefore, tens of thousands of people have been reluctant to leave for a long time...
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor" kept coming and going.
Zhao Ji sighed secretly: I only did a small thing that a wise king should do, and yet I was loved by all the people. It seems that people in the Song Dynasty are against me, and most of them are still towards me.
The common people did not want to leave, they wanted to see Zhao Guan's house more.
However, Zhao Ji does not have free time to accompany him here.
He also wants to return to the palace to summon Cai You, the great scholar who turned against his father Cai Jing!
Let’s see if we can use his son’s knife to stab his father?
Zhao Ji ordered his subordinates: "Get up and drive back to the palace!"
