Chapter 717 The case of smuggling merchants in Yanzhou (second update)
Chapter 726

"So it's really because of this..." After hearing this, Xu Degong showed a surprised look, and then slowly shook his head with an expression similar to pity or helplessness. "Our family advises Xiangye and all the adults not to go to see the empress."

"Why, does Mr. Xu think there is any problem with this?" Jia Yi asked impatiently.

Xu Degong nodded. "That's right, there is a big problem. My lords must not be clear about where the officials retreated halfway after getting angry in the court before?"

Liu Zhi raised his gray brows. "Could it be that His Majesty went to look for the empress just now?"

"That's right, and the empress has also read the memorial. Don't you all think that the empress will get angry?" Xu Degong glanced at these important officials in the court, and said indifferently.

Liu Zhi suddenly felt a headache, raised his hand and rubbed the frowning brows. "Your Majesty means..."

"Your Majesty is tired and needs to recuperate. These days, I won't see you adults for the time being." Xu Degong saluted Liu Zhi and the others. "It's not that our family deliberately made it difficult for you adults, but it's really that this time, the empress is really angry by those unfaithful and unfilial courtiers who are out of profit..."

After a few more perfunctory words, Xu Degong stopped staying, but went straight to the Spring and Autumn Palace where the empress dowager Gao Taotao was.There was a vote of speechless, frustrated ministers.

"What to do, this, what to do..." Liu Anshi rubbed his hands anxiously, and said anxiously. The attitude of the empress dowager really made him feel like a trick.

"What else can we do? Since the empress dowager's words are on this point, it is natural for Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai to decide in a fair way." Liu Zhi shook his head in frustration, and said Walk towards the palace gate.

"This old man would like to warn you, don't ever think about pleading for those who have committed the most crimes, no matter how friendly you are with them? If you really anger the emperor and move me outside the court, then it will be a real shock to the government and the public." ,Understand?"

Zhu Guangting wanted to refute just now, but when he saw the hidden anger in Liu Zhi's eyes, he knew that the old man was really angry, and understood the intention of his words, so he nodded emphatically. "Don't worry, Liu Xiang, I will definitely not do such an unwise move."

"Liu Xiang, we will warn our colleagues, so as not to give Your Majesty the opportunity to make use of the problem." The rest of the people also expressed their determination to Liu Zhi.

The important thing is that Liu Zhi's words let these people understand that it is useless to pay attention to the friendship of colleagues at this moment.

Because the empress dowager Gao Taotao, the biggest backer of the old party, actually didn't even see her face this time, that is to say, this big backer was also furious because of the shameless faces of those officials, so he sent Xu Degong over, and the meaning was also expressed very clear.

Whatever the Son of Heaven wants to do, even if the Empress Dowager does not fully agree, she will not stop it.

Inside the court, the original strong backer was no longer a backer. The emperor was pressing forward, while outside the court, many New Party officials who had been relegated were gearing up and watching.

It is true that you can't make mistakes anymore, otherwise, the great situation that the old party has occupied the court formed since the early years of Yuanyou is very likely to collapse.At that time, once the new party, which is like a centipede and dead but not stiff, gains power, they will launch crazy revenge. I believe that the fate of these important ministers who are in power in the court today will be worse than those of the new party. miserable.

The whole of Tokyo and Bianliang was shocked, and the entire Song Dynasty was shocked. In the government and in the opposition, whether it was officials, common people, or the Song Dynasty military, the topic they talked about tended to be the same, and that was: the Yanzhou smuggling businessmen case.

What's important is that the angry emperor made an edict to declare to the world, this shit is the most slap in the face, making those officials blush and swollen.

What is even more speechless is that during this period, the emperor asked officials to recommend an outstanding official with high moral character, hard work, and hard work to serve as the salt official for the salt industry in Yanzhou.

A group of officials were busy with the case of smuggling businessmen in Yanzhou. When the panic-stricken officials heard the news, they cursed one after another.

The deep resentment towards Wang Yang and Wang Wushan can be turned into a real thing, and it can definitely drown the entire Everest.Even these bigwigs from the Manchu Dynasty wanted to copy knives and form a group to rush to the northwest border to chop Wang Yang into a meat paste.

However, this can only be thought about. The emperor must have hoped to find someone to go to Yanzhou to be Yanzhou. Everyone's first reaction was to curse, and the second reaction was to turn around and leave.

We don't work with that thug Wang Wushan.What's the matter, he can't beat and talk, but the important thing is that he can always think of ways to toss those who are against others.

The words of working together in the past fell into the ears of a group of officials, and it was more like letting the big guy go to die.What the hell, he and Su Dongpo just let him and Su Dongpo fiddle with the big event that more than 100 officials were collectively arrested and imprisoned.

The reputation is too bad, who wants to mess with this broom star with a bright tail that can circle the earth 380 times?
As a result, there was a very strange and quiet trend in the court. Everyone could discuss cases, state affairs, and people's livelihood, but they just turned a blind eye to the topic of finding someone to be a salt official in Yanzhou raised by the emperor, and ignored it. .

This kind of approach also made the emperor Zhao Xu feel deeply pained. It's really embarrassing. You can't say that these officials are negligent. They are just busy with other government affairs. After all, the court suddenly lost so many officials. It's hard to deal with it all at once.

And they also provided themselves with a list of officials who could go to Yanzhou to serve as salt officials.But when Zhao Xu started to summon the officials on the list, a feeling of absurdity emerged spontaneously.

Looking at the old official with beard and hair and haggard face in front of him, Zhao Xu even suspected that this official who said he was less than 60 years old, Nima said that his [-]-year-old coffin would be believed.

Zhao Xu was very angry, what the hell is he picking capable officials for Wang Wushan?It was simply the rhythm of wanting Wang Wushan to take care of the dying old man.

Fortunately, I feel the need to check things for Wang Wushan, otherwise... with Mr. Wushan's annoying temper, I really don't know what kind of things he would do.

Even though he would not bully others for no reason, Zhao Xu believed that he would definitely cause trouble...

The problem is that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is also very wronged, and he can't find a candidate, what can he do?The officials they recommend either claim to be sick or are sick. In a word, no one is willing to go, only this old coffin who is obviously in his dying years reluctantly agrees to go, and there is another one who is also eager to wait for a real job for nearly four years. A seventy-year-old man of ten years.
