Chapter 324: The most ridiculous thing in the world
What is meant by persuading Zhao Xing is not interference in government affairs.
Could it be that Zhao Xing's plan to kill Peng Qingzhong and others was not a matter of state affairs?
"I don't agree with what Mr. Chen said. I don't know anything about the affairs of the court, so you come to ask me to advise your majesty. Privately, I and the official family are husband and wife. If I agree to you, wouldn't it be wrong? Do you think you are in the wrong as an official? Yu Gong, I am the queen and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It is the ancestral system and must be followed." Zhang Guifen said calmly.
Chen Nian was speechless for a moment when he heard this. Zhang Guifang was born in a noble family, how could he be so eloquent?
Zhang Guifen and Zhao Xing have been husband and wife for many years, and they have learned one thing the same thing, and that is being unreasonable and unforgiving.
She didn't give Chen Nian any time to think about countermeasures, and continued: "What's more, Jun Wuyan, His Majesty just issued an order, but you asked me to persuade His Majesty to take back the order. Where is your Majesty's majesty?"
"Recognizing mistakes can greatly improve things. Your Majesty's decision to withdraw his orders is to comply with the people's sentiments. Not only will it not affect your Majesty's majesty, but it will also become a good story." Chen Nian said.
"Really?" Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "So, Mr. Chen and your lords have decided that your majesty is wrong. Then Mr. Chen and your lords will tell me whether your majesty's actions are not in compliance with the laws of the Song Dynasty, or are there Violated the ancestral rules? As long as you can speak out, I will naturally persuade your majesty.”
"This...this..." Chen Nian's face changed slightly, and he was speechless.
Is Zhao Xing wrong?
It must be wrong in the eyes of the civil servants.
But Zhao Xing acted completely in accordance with the law, and the law was enacted by Emperor Taizu.
Judging from these aspects, Zhao Xing is indeed right.
"I want to return to the palace now, do you want to continue to stop me?" Zhang Guifen said calmly.
Chen Nian and his group were a bit stuck. They originally thought that Zhang Guifen would be easy to fool, but they didn't expect that Zhang Guifen would be so difficult to deal with.
If he retreats now, wouldn't it mean that he is acquiescing that Zhao Xing is right?
"What? Your Excellencies, you must force me to agree to your request? Dr. Chen just said that you should comply with public opinion. How about I ask some people to come and comment on the matter and see what the public opinion is like?" Zhang Guifen said.
"I don't dare!" Chen Nian had no choice but to stand up.
They were speechless by Zhang Guifen. If Zhang Guifen really invited a group of common people to come over, their reputation would be ruined.
Seeing that Chen Nian was getting older, the others could only follow suit and retreated to both sides to make way.
Zhang Guifen took her mother and Minglan, followed by the palace maid's guards, to the carriage, got in and left.
"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"
After Zhang Guifen's carriage was escorted away by the Forbidden Army, an official asked.
"How do I know what to do?" Chen Nian asked a little irritably.
He came here under orders, but now that things have turned out like this, not only the people who sent him will cause trouble for him, but even the officials will cause trouble for him if they find out.
…………
"What did you say?"
After hearing Sanshui's report, Zhao Xing said angrily: "How brave you are! You dare to block the Queen's carriage and tell Yin Hanzhang that I want evidence of the crimes of the ministers who came to block the Queen's carriage!"
< br>
"Yes!" Sanshui responded and hurried away.
Zhao Xing was still upset, got up and walked out.
Outside Longtu Pavilion, dozens of people were kneeling. These people were all important officials of the court. Except for a few people, the rest were here.
They have been kneeling for several hours. These people are used to being pampered. After kneeling for such a long time, they have long been thirsty and hungry, and they can no longer hold on.
When Hu Zhongyan heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw the hem of the dragon robe. He knew that it was Zhao Xing who had come out. He quickly lay on the ground and said, "I beg your Majesty to take back your life!"
"Please, Your Majesty, take back your life!" everyone shouted in unison. "Hu Shangshu, why don't you let me, the emperor, do the job." Zhao Xing said calmly.
"Your Majesty said this, isn't it because he wants to force me to death?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Xing sneered: "I act in accordance with the law, what's wrong with me? Just because I don't comply with your wishes, you force me to marry you. In this case, you might as well choose someone to be the emperor, that's all. Everything will go according to your wishes.”
Originally, Zhao Xing was a little confused about the official's choice of King Yong in the original play.
The idea that King Yong is old and has many heirs is untenable in Zhao Xing's eyes.
It is true that King Yong is older, but King Yong and King Yan are not the sons of the official family. Whoever the official family adopts will be the son of the official family, and they are the only ones.
As for his descendants, although King Yan did not have as many children as King Yong, he still had a few.
King Yan did not only have an only son, and he was worried that if there was a good or bad heir, there would be a situation like the official family where there would be no heirs to inherit the throne and an adoption would be needed.
But the official chose King Yong, and knowing that King Yong had attacked Concubine Rong's sister, they had no intention of replacing him.
Now it seems that the reason why King Yong was able to win was closely related to the support of the courtiers.
The courtiers did not need a smart and capable emperor, they wanted a mediocre emperor.
Only in this way can we ensure that their interests are not damaged and that we can comply with their wishes.
"I am terrified!" Hu Zhongyan said: "I am doing this entirely for the sake of the stability of the court, without any selfish motives."
"No selfish motives?" Zhao Xing sneered: "Peng Qingzhong and the others have taken bribes and violated the law. Why shouldn't I deal with them in accordance with the law? Is it possible that if we kill them, the Song Dynasty will die? This is the first time I have heard that if we don't kill them, Corrupt officials are just for the sake of the stability of the court, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world!”
"Don't follow me. I have already ordered people to spread this matter throughout the country. The people's eyes are sharp, and they can judge for themselves what is right and wrong. If you are still kneeling here, you will be punished. People despise you, but don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
"And now I still have some patience. I don't want to make things worse. You know what some of you have done. If my patience is exhausted, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Don't think that the court will stop moving after you leave. There are thousands of officials in the Song Dynasty, and leaving no one will have any impact!"
Many of the officials who were kneeling on the ground changed their expressions when they heard this.
The reason why they stopped was because they were afraid that the knife would fall on them in the future.
But according to Zhao Xing, if they continue to make trouble, Zhao Xing will operate on them.
Thinking of this, some people with evil intentions trembled.
In fact, they also understand that even if they retreat now and acquiesce in this matter, Zhao Xing's knife may still fall on them in the future.
But people have a fluke mentality. They are more willing to lose later than to lose now.
Many people have already given up.
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he turned around and entered Longtuge regardless of what they thought.
After about a cup of tea, Sanshui walked in and bowed: "Your Majesty, the people outside have retreated."
Zhao Xing was not surprised when he heard this. These officials may have guessed that he secretly ordered people to collect evidence of the crimes of the officials in the DPRK and China.
It's not sure whether Zhao Xing has any evidence of their crimes, and no one dares to bet.
