Chapter 473: The hornet's nest

The Minister of the Menxia Provincial Department looked solemn, and secretly peeked at Cai Jing, and said in obedience: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. That memorial was indeed sent to the palace. Your Majesty does not believe it, so you can investigate it strictly."

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and a word popped out from his mouth: "Check!" Then he said coldly: "We must investigate strictly. Whoever has the relationship must be severely punished."

The Minister of War was also willing to go out of his way. At this point, there was nothing to hide. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think the memorial of Mr. Gao's good news is a trick. You must know that if you have any military achievements, you will give them the heads to calculate the credit. However, although Mr. Gao sent the good news, he did not mention the matter of offering the heads. He sent a batch of people more than a month ago. However, the Ministry of War had checked... and found... "

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "What did you find?"

Ban Feng thought for a while, took a breath, and said calmly: "I found that many heads are women and children. Your Majesty, the Ministry of War can only guess by itself. Either the bandits of a sect were cruel that day, even women and children were driven to fight, or it was Taiwei Gao..." He raised his eyes, looked directly at the Golden Palace, and said word by word: "Kill good and take credit!"

The court was in an uproar, killing good people to make contributions? In fact, this sentence itself is nothing. This is a common thing in the army. To remember the merits, you must have a head. Where does the head come from? If the thief's heads are not enough, it will inevitably slaughter some good people. It will be very different if you say it in front of the court. Is this class crazy? Saying this sentence is equivalent to completely turning a flirting with Gao Qiu. Now, either Gao Qiu dies or his class has died. What is the filth between the class and Gao Qiu? Why is it so bad?

Everyone's eyes fell on Cai Jing, but Cai Jing still looked as usual, sitting on the Jindun without saying a word.

As everyone expected, Zhao Ji in the Golden Palace slapped the table and killed good people and made great contributions. Everyone knows this trick, but Zhao Ji is kept in the dark. In his heart, as an imperial guard, how could he do such a thing? Killing innocent people in this way will only make the situation on the North Road of Jingji even more corrupt and push everyone to the side of the Tianyi Sect.

He took a deep breath. Not long after, he was still waiting for the bandit leader to send him the other side of Jingji North Road, but this was what he was waiting for. His breathing became heavier and he roared in the hall: "Why did Gao Qiu deceive me so much? How could he be like this? I treat him well. What is his background? If it weren't for me, would he have today?"

"Okay, I will not tolerate him if he did such a thing. But why didn't the Ma Junsi, my imperial guards, and the emperor's personal army report? Why did he do such a thing? I have been established for a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, and no imperial guards have done such a sensational thing? They... deserve to die... all deserve to die!"

The ministers in the court were so arrogant that they dared not let go, but they were thinking in their hearts that killing good people was a rule since ancient times, even the imperial guards were not like this, but these things were always hidden and unreported. So they said that when the Fang La was suppressed, there were more than ten thousand good people who were slaughtered.

Zhao Ji was furious and walked back and forth in the golden palace in a crown suit: "Bully the king and the king, kill the good and the good, good, very good!" He breathed heavily, his eyes became murderous: "Ban Feng..."

"I'm here."

"You go to Gyeonggi North Road in person and want to investigate what news is there, and you have to report it according to the facts."

"Cai Aiqing."

Cai Jing said slowly: "The old minister is here."

"The minister issued an order and immediately locked Gao Qiu back to Beijing. I and Gao Qiu slowly settled the accounts!"

"Your Majesty." Cai Jing said seriously: "It is inappropriate to change generals at the last minute. Why not give Gao Qiu a chance to make meritorious contributions? At this point, Your Majesty doesn't want to. We are also uneasy as ministers. If the Lock takes Gao Qiu, we will be appointed to another official. The Ma Junsi will be uneasy. Even if we want to punish the crime, we will wait until Gao Qiu returns to Beijing before talking."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, leaving a sentence after brushing his sleeves, "A nest of snakes and rats!" The man had already gone out of the back hall angrily.

In this martial arts hall, there were terrified ministers left behind, especially Cai Jing, who were chewing the words of snakes and rats. I wonder if Zhao Ji was talking about Gao Qiu and the generals of the horse army, or the relationship between him and Gao Qiu. This suspicion could not help but grow older, and still sat there with his back, not moving at all.

The other ministers saw His Majesty leaving, and they were all talking about it. When this situation came, God knew what would happen in the future.

Only the Ban Xian who was still lying on the ground was indescribable at this moment. He dusted the dust on his body, stood up, and walked out of the hall as if no one was around.

Watching the back of the man who had stirred up the storm but was alone, they were stunned. Today's court discussions also opened their eyes. The Minister of War was a bucket of scandals to the end, causing such a great thunderous anger. What will happen in the future is really hard to understand.

Originally, everyone was an official, and it was a good thing for me. Even if it was impeachment, some taboo things could not be expressed. For example, if the matter of the Imperial Army was made such a hole, the target of the Ma Junsi and Gao Qiu, the Palace Front Office and the Infantry Army Office, I am afraid that the emperor would also be dragged into the water. The emperor personally was beaten by the Minister of War and was dizzy. Will people watch it on the wall?

It is important to know that military officers cannot be spoiled, but they cannot offend too much. Although you use culture to build military affairs, if you want to take on someone’s job and make a ruthless act, you will never be polite to you. It is hard to guarantee that you will not be stabbed by a brick or stabbed in the dark when you walk on the street.

Class is crazy...

This is the conclusion that everyone made. I just think that this guy is really a bad sheep. He has caused such a big bloody storm. God knows how many people will be unlucky when the time comes. If this matter is really investigated, the three yamen are responsible, the censors are responsible, the Secretariat is responsible, and the Grand Tutor is responsible. And the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War cannot be separated from it.

The problem now is whether the government is really going to make trouble and keep it in check. No one can get better.

Just as everyone was stunned, someone in the hall beat him up. Everyone followed their eyes and saw Shen Ao, the minister of the Honglu Temple in the corner building, stretching his waist, as if he had just woken up, with his confused eyes open, and asked a man who was beside him: "Brother, where is the official family? Could it be that the court's discussion has dispersed? Why is it so fast today?"

The Yuanwailang was speechless, but Lord Shen asked, how could he dare to neglect him? He hurriedly said: "The official family has left, Lord Shen, the court discussion is over."

Chen Ao looked straight: "Why is it so fast? I plan to take a nap and ask for a prelude to the palace. I don't want to remind you."

Yuanwailang was so amused that he could only apologize and said that he deserved to die.

Chen Ao stood up and said, "Forget it, I forgive you!" He beat him up as if he had suffered a loss, but he was beaten again: "Why are you not enough? Could it be that the palace will leave food today?"

"Yes, it's scattered, it's scattered." Someone said in the crowd.

So everyone scattered, Chen Ao came out of the palace, and Quartz and Zhou Zheng walked over side by side and said, "Chen Ao."

Chen Ao turned around and bowed with a smile: "Duke Shijun, Lord Taishan."

Quartz looked at Chen Ao deeply and then said, "Go and go to me and sit down."

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Chen Ao has been here several times for the Duke of Wei County. As soon as he entered the mansion, the gatekeeper first reported to the guests. Mrs. Shi came out in person, poured tea for the three of them, and said to Chen Ao with a smile: "Mr. Shen is a busy man now. I have invited you several times, but you are unwilling to come and sit down."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "I want to come too, but I'm afraid I'll be poor."

Mrs. Shi smiled and covered her mouth and said, "My family is full of food. If you really have the ability, you will bring a few ladies together."

Quartz stroked his beard and said, "Madam, I'll ask Chen Ao to go to your place to talk later, so that he has official duties here."

Mrs. Shi nodded and said goodbye.

San*** sat quietly for a while, and Shijun Gong said first: "Chen Ao, what is the irony of that class has to do with you?"

Chen Ao nodded: "It's a little bit."

Both Quartz and Zhou Zheng sighed, and Zhou Zheng said, "You are now barreling into a hornet's nest."

Chen Ao said: "Please give me advice by Lord Taishan."

Zhou Zheng said: "You should discuss this with us in advance. It is important to know that the disadvantages of the imperial guards have been around for a long time. Customization has been formed since Taizong, but for so many years, no one has exposed it. Chen Ao, do you know why this is?"

Chen Ao was confused.

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "There is too much involvement here. Think about it, the imperial guards are the place where the descendants of princes, ministers and descendants in the court fight for the autumn wind. If you come here, how many people will be implicated? These people may not have much power, but if they work together, even if they are in power, they will be difficult for your Majesty to make drastic moves."

Chen Ao understood that the imperial guards were like the Imperial College, which was the place where the yamen were fighting for the autumn wind. It should be noted that the Song Dynasty worshipped the imperial examination. What should I do if the children of princes and ministers failed the imperial examination? Of course, we must plan a way for him. This way for him is the imperial guards. Therefore, if there are some ways, they will stuff their children into the imperial guards. Even if the Duke of the Kingdom Zhou Zheng was unable to avoid the customs, the imperial guards would form a huge interest group and weave a huge net. If anyone dares to poke it, they will also fight to the death.

Now that people have not yet come back, Ban Feng has accepted the order and wants to go to Jingji North Road to investigate thoroughly. Once the shocking things such as eating empty amounts, killing good people and reselling military supplies, that will be different.

Chen Ao pursed his lips, sat upright, and struggled a little. This matter was too big. It was really earth-shaking. Should he go and mock him down and ask him to take it easy?

But... Once all previous efforts are wasted, my idea of ​​not breaking or establishing will be lost.
