Chapter 644 The Wrath of the Nation and Zhao Ji's Final Ending (9)

Gubeikou.

Niu Gao, the general of the Yan Army, showed a solemn expression. He stood on the Guancheng Tower and looked at the direction of Bei'an Prefecture in the distance.

At this time, yellow sand was faintly visible in the direction of Bei'an Prefecture, and the flags were flying. It was obvious that the Jin army was changing.

It's been like this for days.

The scout horse sent by Niu Gao came back and reported that the Jin people had mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the country to Bei'an Prefecture, which made Niu Gao realize that something was wrong, although on the surface, the two countries had just signed a covenant and a peace agreement Normally, the Kingdom of Jin had no reason to take the initiative to attack Dayan, but thinking of the wolfish ambition and aggressive nature of the Jin people, Niu Gao and other generals did not dare to be careless in their hearts.

At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and there is a single rider to buckle off.

Yanjing.

When the emperor returned to the palace, Zhao Fujin, Chongde, Zhao Huanhuan and the four daughters Zhao Yupan who had returned halfway were already waiting at the door outside the imperial study.

The beautiful faces of the four girls were heavy and slightly pale.

They saw the emperor striding across the palace and coming from the direction of Qianfu Palace, and almost at the same time they prostrated themselves on the ground with tears streaming down their faces.

The fact that Zhao Ji was coerced by the Zhao Clan to rebel was unknown to the people, but it was no secret to people like Zhao Fujin in the palace.

Although the treason of the Zhao clan shocked them as well, the feeling was not so strong, but once the biological father Zhao Ji was involved, they could imagine the torrential waves in their hearts.

Since ancient times, treason has been a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, let alone the rebellion of the former Song Dynasty royal family, which is a very forbidden thing. In the eyes of all the women, the emperor may be enraged and kill the Zhao clan. ... and Zhao Ji is their biological father after all, how can they remain indifferent?
Therefore, they knew that they should not plead for mercy, but they still came.

Wang Lin walked up quickly, looked around at the four girls, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

At this moment, he secretly said that he was lucky.

If Zhao Ji really died in this turmoil and rebellion, he really didn't know how to face Zhao Fujin's four daughters.

Therefore, Shi Yucheng, who manipulated the rebellion behind the scenes, really deserves to die!

Wang Lin gritted his teeth tightly, anger rolled up.

Zhao Fujin was obviously wrong, raised his head and choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines know that they shouldn't come, but they have to come because of their biological father, human relations, and filial piety. Please be kind to your majesty and leave my father alone." Live!"

Wang Lin sighed and helped Zhao Fujin up, and helped up the other three girls one by one, waved his hands and said, "Go to the imperial study to talk."

Wang Lin and the four daughters entered the imperial study, and Kong Lin, who was walking in the imperial study, took the female official Shangguanqing away on her own, leaving a separate space for the emperor and the four daughters to communicate.

In the palace for the past two days, rumors have spread that Zhao Ji led the Zhao family to rebel, and the emperor Longyan was furious, and there were rumors that he wanted to kill the Zhao family in one fell swoop.

Wang Lin looked around at the four daughters of Zhao Fujin who looked sad, and nodded slowly: "You don't have to worry, Emperor Song is safe and sound, I have ordered Jin Yiwei to send him to Yanjing, and it is estimated that he will arrive in two days, when the time comes, I will arrange for you to meet."

Chongde said quietly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the Zhao clan has failed His Majesty, especially my father..."

Wang Lin waved his hand and stopped Chongde's unfinished words: "Okay, you don't need to say anymore, I know what you are going to say, I understand you, here I can give you a reassurance - for you, I will always It is impossible to attack Emperor Song, even though Emperor Song committed the crime of treason.

But how to deal with him, because this case is related to the state system, I can't do it alone, and I have to hand it over to the court for discussion. "

Zhao Yupan was overjoyed, his face flushed red, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty's words are true?"

Wang Lin smiled: "When did I ever tell a lie? But except for Emperor Song, the Zhao clan, whoever participates in the treason, I will clearly punish those who participate in the rebellion, and rectify the laws of the country. Otherwise, people all over the world will follow suit. The Great Yan River is also not stable."

Zhao Fujin burst into tears, Yingying prostrated herself on the ground and wept: "My concubine thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Chongde and Roufu also cried and bowed to the ground.

Wang Lin sighed and got up to help the four daughters again, but he felt a little strange in his heart. How could the ninth son of the emperor, Zhao Gou, be absent from this kind of matter?He didn't come to plead for Zhao Ji?

political affairs hall.

The emperor posed a difficult question and walked away.

The hot potato was handed over to the five cabinet ministers of the Zhengshitang to deal with it.

Li Gang has been maintaining a strange silence. He is actually quite uneasy in his heart. His daughter-in-law Shi Xiaohui's natal family is involved in the case, and his brother Shi Yu has become the mastermind behind the scenes. No matter what, he wants to avoid suspicion.

Wu Min pondered for a long time, and said worriedly: "Everyone, I don't know what the Sacred Heart is. If Your Majesty has murderous intentions towards Emperor Song and Zhao's clan, no matter how we discuss it, it will be useless..."

Among the five veteran ministers in the cabinet, Zong Ze had the least affection for the former Song Dynasty and the former Song Emperor Zhao Ji. He sneered and said, "Shouldn't the traitors be killed? If the people of the world follow suit, the government and the people will not be stable in the future." carry on."

Guo Zhishun frowned: "That being said, Emperor Song is different from the rest of the Zhao Clan. He is His Majesty's father-in-law, and there are four His Majesties Mao De, Jia De, Chong De and Rou Fu. How can His Majesty kill his biological father? "

"National affairs are more important than family affairs. Besides, the Zhao family's clan is eager to make a move. If you keep it, sooner or later it will be a hidden danger. It is better to have a long-term pain than a short-term pain. It will never cause future troubles." Zong Ze said coldly.

Huang Qishan interjected: "From my point of view, if His Majesty had murderous intent, he would not come to seek our opinion, let alone hand over the case of treason by the Zhao Clan to the imperial court and the Sanju Judiciary for discussion. Your Majesty is sincere, old man. Judging, he will definitely not kill Song Huang. However, for the sake of the great Yan, Song Huang can be spared the death penalty, but in the future, he will not be able to continue as before..."

Guo Zhishun waved his hand resolutely and said: "Why don't you follow the example of the ancients and hand over the Emperor Song and others to the three courts for punishment. After that, cut off their beards and hairs as a substitute for their crimes. After that, let's order them to wear a crown and become a monk for Taoism, Yan There is a Qingyun temple in the north of the capital, and Emperor Song has always worshiped Taoism, and spent his old age peacefully by practicing Taoism."

Huang Qishan immediately agreed and said: "Great kindness, the old man seconded the proposal!"

Huang Qishan and Guo Zhishun looked at Zongze together.

Zong Ze said angrily: "If the Emperor Song can be pardoned by His Majesty, the rest of the imperial clan, the Zhao family, must not be indulged lightly. Otherwise, our court of Great Yan will never have peace."

Huang Qishan and Guo Zhishun nodded again and again. They advocated forgiving Zhao Ji. It was because they used to be courtiers of the Song Dynasty and had an indescribable feeling for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Considering the current situation of the emperor's harem, they weighed the pros and cons. Song Huang Zhao Ji's not killing is more popular than killing him, and it will not cause trouble for the emperor.

But for the rest of the Zhao clan, they don't have the slightest bit of compassion.

The corner of Li Gang's mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

Guo Zhishun glanced at him, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be like this, the daughter of the Shi family is not involved in the case, and His Majesty has personally pardoned her. However, now that her mother committed suicide and her brother is at large, Xiang Li should return home as soon as possible to appease the family. Alright, so as not to cause trouble."

Li Gang let out a long sigh, bowed his hands to Huang Qishan, Guo Zhishun, Wu Min, turned around and walked away lonely.
