Zhang Cairen from Ninghua Hall came in a hurry and left in a hurry. She didn't even see Empress Cao, so she just walked away with her sleeves.
When Zhang Weiji came to report this matter, Queen Cao was so angry that she almost exploded.
Only Zhao Xin felt calm inside.
Because he knew that the mistress of Ninghua Palace had always been like this.
He is proud of his favor and has no scruples.
However, this time, she may have made a mistake. Whether it is Zhao Zhen or the ministers of the government and the public, it is impossible for her to stay in this imperial city!
Especially the Taiwanese admonishers!
When it comes to things like this, the Taiwanese admonishers are crazy dogs!
And it’s the drugged kind!
Therefore, in fact, the fate of Ninghua Palace was determined at the moment Zhao Zhen fell to the Chongzhen Zishan Temple outside Bianjing City, which would be her destination for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, a thought emerged in Zhao Xin's mind: "If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze!"
Empress Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu of this dynasty were both heroic women who were killed in nunneries!
Although Ninghua Palace looks nothing like the mind and skills of Empress Youzetian and Empress Dowager Liu.
But what if?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Xin felt murderous intent emerge in his heart.
However, he hid it very well.
On the surface, he is still the anxious and worried dutiful son beside his father.
Not only did he take the towel from the palace lady, he personally wiped Zhao Zhen's forehead and corners of his mouth, but also staged various stories such as tasting the soup and medicine himself.
The people in the upper and lower palaces and the ministers were all amazed and impressed by the benevolence and filial piety of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Even Zhao Zhen was deeply moved when he woke up occasionally and saw his beloved son beside him, and felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
No one knew at all that this filial son of the Song Dynasty, who looked polished, well-behaved, cute, and harmless to humans and animals, had been thinking in his heart about how to put his father's beloved concubine to death!
However, Zhao Xin is still too young after all.
Even if he himself has enough will and wants to show more.
But physically, he doesn't have this ability.
So, soon, he was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep beside his father.
When Zhao Xin fell asleep, a storm had already taken shape in Bianjing City.
The fact that Zhao Zhen fell ill was immediately spread to everyone through various tabloids.
Some powerful tabloids even vividly described the circumstances of Zhao Zhen's collapse in Ninghua Hall.
As a result, public opinion immediately boiled!
The imperial students of the Imperial College were even more indignant. Zhiyuan Lin, who had just managed to improve his reputation due to the impeachment of Zhao Yunrang, immediately became the target of public criticism!
He had to close the door immediately and thank the guests.
Even so, his home was surrounded by countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.
Lin Du suffered this fate, and the relatives of Zhang Cairen, the initiator and the culprit, were naturally not spared.
His uncle Zhang Yaozuo, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, was besieged by a group of people. He could not even carry out normal office work and had to hide in the backyard of Kaifeng Prefecture.
He is a smart man. As soon as he saw this situation, he knew that his good days were over.
So I immediately wrote a letter of dedication.
But other Zhang family members are not so smart.
Although they all hid, no one wanted to give up the fame and fortune they had gained.
They also looked forward to a miracle and hoped that after the palace officials recovered, they would protect and tolerate them as they did in the past.
These people are so ignorant that they will naturally be beaten!
The next day, Zhang Fangping, the official of the right admonishment committee, Jia Changqi, the official of the Zhizhi imperial court, and Quan Fubi, the judge of the admonition court of the right Zhengyan, jointly impeached Zhang Ying, Cao Jian, Zhang Ci and more than ten relatives of the Zhang family.
officials.
As for the crime, it’s still hard to find?
The crimes of the relatives of the Song Dynasty did not need to be fabricated at all, they were completely ready-made.
Immediately, Prime Minister Lu Yijian accepted these bullets and sent them to Yanhe Hall.
So, when Zhao Zhen woke up again, Zhang Weiji read these bullets to him.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I understand..."
He thought about it, hesitated for a while, and made a difficult decision: "Since the ministers are so angry, and the Zhang family's relatives are indeed at fault..."
"Get rid of his mission, remove him from his official position, and place him in Xijing!"
"No!" Zhang Weiji listened and bowed deeply.
Resettlement was one of the methods of punishment for officials and nobles in the Song Dynasty. It was synonymous with house arrest and residential surveillance.
Generally speaking, this kind of punishment was already the death penalty for officials and nobles in the Song Dynasty!
Especially Zhao Zhen, he rarely uses this measure against officials.
Now, it has been used by the Zhang family, which already shows the attitude of this official!
only……
Zhang Weiji knew that this official was actually abandoning his soldiers to protect his chariot, and wanted to use the Zhang family's accommodation in exchange for the courtiers to let the Ninghua Palace go.
but……
This is impossible.
Because Ninghua Palace was already in a state of outrage, not only the courtiers, but also the queen and the emperor's heirs also expressed their dissatisfaction.
What's more, it is actually better not to give this order than to give it.
Once the Zhang family is settled, Taiwan's admonishers will be like soldiers who heard the sound of the attack horn. Loulan will not be returned until it is destroyed!
But he was a minister, and he didn't dare to speak on this kind of matter, so he could only bow his head and take orders.
"Where are the Queen and the Prince?" Zhao Zhen asked as he glanced at the entire hall.
"Official family..." Zhang Weiji replied softly: "Last night, the Duke stayed up all night serving you..."
"I watched the Duke with my own eyes, wiped your forehead, and tasted the medicine for you, day and night..."
"It's just that the Duke is too young after all. He couldn't bear it before dawn. Now he is sleeping in the side hall with the Queen accompanying him!"
Zhao Zhen then recalled the look on his beloved son that he saw last night when he was half asleep and half awake, and a smile of relief overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "I have seen Erlang's filial piety with my own eyes, although the Chinese version may not be as good as it is!"
Tasting decoctions and medicines was a custom brought up by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty when he served his mother.
From then on, all filial sons served their parents and could not be considered filial unless they personally tasted the medicine.
But, my son is only two years old!
Zhao Zhen was really touched that a two-year-old child could do the same thing as a twenty-year-old. He was very pleased and a little proud.
So, Zhao Zhen asked: "Have Hanlin scholars drafted the imperial edict?"
Zhang Weiji replied: "Early this morning, Master Zeng has sent the imperial edict to the ministers of the two governments..."
"That's good!" Zhao Zhen listened, felt relieved, and ordered: "Zhang Qing went to inform the two governments for me..."
"When the emperor's heir is enthroned, he will be the king of Tang Dynasty and listen to political affairs in Chui Gong Hall..."
"Ministers of the two governments must fulfill their responsibilities to protect Kuangbi!"
The Song Dynasty currently implements a one-day hearing system.
That is to say, every single day, he would sit in the vertical arch hall and listen to the ministers of the two governments in separate groups.
