"Chai Zongqing, do you want me to invite you out?!"

Chai Zongqing, trembling all over, appeared outside the train and wailed: "Guan family, I have been deceived by a traitor, please make the decision for me!"

Zhao Zhen stared at Chai Zongqing coldly and said word by word: "I just want to ask you, are you greedy or not?"

Chai Zongqing gritted his teeth and said, "I am a recipient..."

Zhao Zhen suddenly roared, "Are you greedy or not?!"

Chai Zongqing fell to the ground with a frightened thud.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also shocked.

Zhao Zhen stared at Chai Zongqing, who was lying on the ground and refused to plead guilty, and said coldly: "If you don't want to say anything, then I will send someone to investigate!"

"Chen Lin!"

"The slave is here!"

"Go to the Wude Department and the Imperial City Department to inform me of my decree, and ask them to arrest all the people who have handled this money. They will interrogate and question each one one by one.

I want to know who took the lives of our soldiers.

I want to know who is digging up the foundation of my great Song Dynasty.

I will make everyone who has stolen this money pay with their lives."

"Here!"

Chen Lin followed Zhao Zhen's instructions and exited the Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Zhen stared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "Don't you like to stay in the palace? Then stay in the palace today and don't leave. Wait until the matter is found out before leaving."

The civil and military officials in Manchao agreed with complicated expressions.

Zhao Zhen did this because he could not trust them and was afraid that they would tip off the news.

If this matter only involves one or two officials, that would be fine.

If a lot of officials are found behind their backs.

Then Zhao Zhen will definitely look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty with suspicion in the future.

The emperor seemed to be born with suspicion, and he would be suspicious of everyone around him.

When the time limit expires, the more people deceive him, the more suspicious he becomes.

When his suspicion reaches the point where he can no longer suppress it, he will choose to use violent means to make himself feel at ease.

For example, killing a group of people who make him feel uneasy.

Or kill a group of people he thinks are not loyal enough.

Once the emperor starts killing people for this reason, his own children will be killed, let alone the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

Zhao Zhen now possesses both civil and military skills. He has pushed his majesty to the highest level by relying on his civil and martial arts.

No one in the government or the public could restrain him in his rage.

Zhao Zhen took Manchao Wenwu's reaction into his eyes, snorted coldly, sat on the seat, and waited quietly with Manchao Wenwu.

As time went by, officials with guilty consciences could not withstand the pressure and fell to their knees on the ground.

Zhao Zhen seemed to have not seen them.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai looked at the officials kneeling down one by one, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.

During the period when the three of them were in charge of the government, such a big scandal occurred, and the three of them will also bear the consequences.

The amount of money involved in the case is already shocking.

If there were more officials involved in the case, it would be shocking.

Then the three of them will probably resign.

Time passed by, and by noon, ten officials had already knelt down.

During this period, some people dressed in black entered the palace. After asking Zhao Zhen for instructions, they took some kneeling officials out.

Those men in black are from the Imperial City Department.

They asked Zhao Zhen for instructions and went into Chui Gong Hall to arrest people, indicating that they had found those people and had conclusive evidence.

All the civil and military officials in the court were frightened when they saw it.

Zhao Zhen's heart was as calm as a lake.

Zhao Zhen had already mastered all the evidence in the military pay embezzlement case.

He was already terrified.

The reason why he mobilized a large number of people to investigate was to lure some people out.

Time flies.

By the afternoon.

Zhao Zhen and others entered the palace.

Just as the civil and military ministers in Chui Gong Hall were staring at Chai Zongqing, a small yellow door quickly entered the hall.

The reason why the civil and military ministers stared at Chai Zongqing was because among the people who knelt down, except for him, all the remaining people were taken out.

Xiaohuangmen entered the palace, and after saluting, he reported: "I am reporting to the official family, the eldest princess of Deng State is asking for an audience..."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen pretended to be surprised and said: "Is it the imperial aunt?"

When the civil and military ministers saw this, their hearts trembled.

The eldest princess of Deng State entered the palace and cried and complained. Will the officials spare Chai Zongqing lightly?

Combined with Zhao Zhen’s previous attitude towards the royal family.

It is very likely that Zhao Zhen would spare Chai Zongqing lightly.

Think of this.

Lu Yijian stepped forward without hesitation and said: "In the official family, the Chui Gong Hall is a place to participate in and discuss politics. Women are not allowed to enter. The official family also wrote a plaque for this purpose and erected it in the harem. Have the officials forgotten?

?”

After Lu Yijian spoke out, Wang Zeng also stood up and said: "Now that the official and military salary embezzlement cases have been investigated, it is probably clear that the consort Chai Zongqing must be involved.

The eldest princess of Deng State entered the palace at this moment. She must have known what happened and wanted to intercede for her consort Chai Zongqing.

If the officials spare Chai Zongqing because of this, the people of the world will complain that the officials are unfair."

Zhang Zhibai then stood up and said decisively: "I will die to remonstrate with you!"

As soon as Zhang Zhibai said these words, he seemed to have dropped a pebble on the calm lake.

For a while.

Most of the civil servants went out to echo Zhang Zhibai's words.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"..."

Ninety percent of the civil servants stood up and seconded the proposal.

The reason why there is such a situation is also related to Zhao Zhen's mindless defense of the emperor's relatives in recent months.

Zhao Zhen mindlessly defended the emperor's relatives and relatives for several months, and the emperor's relatives and relatives did many outrageous things.

For this reason, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty often impeached the emperor's relatives.

But every impeachment has been fruitless.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty were almost in despair.

It seems that the royal relatives will become the source of trouble in the Song Dynasty.

Some loyal and upright ministers worry about not being able to eat or sleep every day.

Now that Chai Zongqing committed a crime, it was a major event that could shock the world.

They think this is an opportunity.

An opportunity to severely damage the royal family.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never see it again.

So they desperately began to remonstrate.

Of course, they are only part of the officials. There are also some officials who are simply following the trend. There are also some officials whose interests have been usurped by the emperor's relatives. They will naturally move to the emperor's relatives. Therefore, most of the civil servants die to remonstrate

When the time came, they also followed.

In short, after 90% of the civil servants went out to remonstrate, some military officials also began to go out to remonstrate.
To be continued...
