Zhao Shan looked at Wei Jinzhong's flustered posture and said with a smile, "I'm not dead, are you disappointed?"
Wei Jinzhong was an eunuch who had risen from the bottom. He had a good psychological quality and regained his composure instantly. He knelt on the ground and said, "My servant Wei Jinzhong, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan asked: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Wei Jinzhong lowered his head and explained: "Eunuchs like me are looked down upon by civil servants and generals. Your Majesty is the only one who respects us. How can I expect your Majesty to die? I am loyal to your Majesty and have no second thoughts."
Zhao Shan got straight to the point and said: "Since you are loyal to me, you must clearly explain Li Wu's arrangements in the court."
Wei Jinzhong's heart skipped a beat, and he became very nervous. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about this, and I have no contact with Li Shangshu."
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold and he said: "I gave you a chance, but you refused. Are you going to drink a toast instead of eating it and be punished by drinking wine?"
Wei Jinzhong said, "I don't dare."
Zhao Shan knew that it was useless to win over him, so he took off his sword and threw it in front of Wei Jinzhong, and said coldly: "After the emperor's brother passed away, there was no one to take care of him under Jiuquan. You are the emperor's personal eunuch, and it is your duty to take care of him underground. , let’s hit the road.”
Wei Jinzhong felt cold in his heart.
Zhao Shan, the dog emperor, lured him to the palace just to kill him. Wei Jinzhong was filled with murderous intent, pretending to be loyal, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, even if there are swords and mountains of fire, I will never look back."
Wei Jinzhong drew his sword and wiped it on his neck.
The moment the sword blade came close to his neck, Wei Jinzhong suddenly jumped up and roared: "Emperor Dog, I'll kill you first."
Zhao Shan looked calm. The moment Wei Jinzhong approached, he stepped diagonally at the right time to avoid Wei Jinzhong's sword. He made a fist with his right hand and hit Wei Jinzhong on the chest.
There was a dull impact, and Wei Jinzhong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body flew out uncontrollably and hit the palace door before falling to the ground.
puff!
Wei Jinzhong spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were horrified, and he exclaimed: "Zhao Shan, how come you know martial arts?"
Zhao Shan sneered: "You are a eunuch, what can you know?"
Wei Jinzhong looked unwilling, stood up while holding the door panel, and said angrily: "Zhao Shan, I didn't expect that you have been hiding your clumsiness. But no matter how you pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, it is useless in front of a real tiger."
"When King Yan's army reaches Luoyang, you will definitely be defeated. Zhao Shan, you can still survive by giving your Zen position to King Yan honestly. If you want to fight against King Yan, you will definitely die without a complete body."
Wei Jinzhong Jiejie laughed and threatened: "Zhao Shan, if you kill me, you will die too."
Zhao Shan kicked Wei Jinzhong to the ground and said disdainfully: "You are too young to do something in front of me! Tell me, what is Li Wu's plan?"
After the words fell, Zhao Shan stepped on Wei Jinzhong's thigh.
Click!
Wei Jinzhong's leg bone was broken, and the severe pain made Wei Jinzhong scream and his body could not stop shaking.
Zhao Shan asked again: "What is Li Wu's plan?"
"have no idea!"
Wei Jinzhong gritted his teeth and replied, cursing hysterically: "Zhao Shan, when King Yan captures you, he will kill you alive and you will regret it."
"I never regret!"
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold, and he raised his foot and stepped on Wei Jinzhong's other leg.
Click!
The bone breaks again.
Wei Jinzhong's legs were broken, his pants were stained red with blood, and his expression was even more ferocious and painful. Severe pain came in waves like a tide, making Wei Jinzhong's life worse than death. He roared: "Zhao Shan, give me a good time."
Zhao Shan smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "We've just started, can't you bear it? If you don't explain clearly, I have many methods. After your legs and hands are broken, I will apply honey to the wound and wait for the ants and insects to come. Eat it, the taste is so painful that you can’t even bear to live.”
Wei Jinzhong's eyes were horrified and he shouted: "Zhao Shan, you are a devil!"
Zhao Shan said quietly: "I am the devil for you people, and I am here to deal with you."
While speaking, Zhao Shan exerted further force on his feet.
The pain in the wound on Wei Jinzhong's leg intensified and became even more painful. He couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "I said, I will explain everything."
"explain!"
Zhao Shanyan gave a concise and concise order.
Wei Jinzhong said quickly: "Tomorrow morning at the Dachao meeting, Li Wu will ask Cao Xian, the imperial censor, to come forward and use the natural disaster warning in Daqian as an excuse to force you to issue a sinful edict and shake the legitimacy of your throne."
Zhao Shan asked: "Is it just this one thing?"
Wei Jinzhong's body trembled and he quickly said: "No more, really no more. Zhao Shan, give me a good time and kill me."
Zhao Shan didn't believe it, so he tested it further and got the same result. Zhao Shan no longer had any doubts and killed Wei Jinzhong with one sword.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Zhang Xu."
"The slave is here!"
Outside the main hall, eunuch Zhang Xu hurriedly entered.
He is an old minister of Zhao Shan's palace and grew up with Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan's eyes were solemn and he ordered: "Zhang Xu, you take over as the chief eunuch, clean out Wei Jinzhong's people within one day, and replace them with your own people. Then investigate Cao Xian, the imperial censor, and find out his crimes. I have big plans." use."
"According to the order!"
Zhang Xu answered quickly.
Zhao Shan looked at Xu Yu'er, who had already walked out, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not allowed to get involved in the court battles. Take good care of yourself, and I will take the time to see you."
Xu Yuer's eyes were gentle and she said slowly: "I'll be waiting on my bed."
Zhao Shan left the harem and returned to the Yangxin Hall to wait, thinking about tomorrow's court meeting. As evening approached, Zhang Xu had taken control of the eunuchs in the palace and gave Zhao Shan information about Cao Xian.
Zhao Shan looked through it with cold eyes.
Cao Xian was the imperial censor of Daqian. On the surface, he was cool, but secretly he accepted bribes, was extravagant, and had connections with Zhao Yong.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shan smiled again.
If Cao Xian is upright, he will be impeccable. If Cao Xian has a problem, he can use this plan to plot against Li Wu. This is an excellent opportunity to attack Li Wu. Zhao Shan quickly made arrangements and asked Zhang Xu to arrange and contact the court officials to prepare for the attack at the court meeting.
Nothing happened all night, and in the blink of an eye it was early morning the next day.
Zhao Shan, wearing a dragon robe and a twelve-pointed crown, steadily entered the Tai Chi Hall and took his seat.
After all the officials paid their respects, the civil servants and military generals stood neatly in the main hall.
Zhao Shan glanced around and his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the first place on the left. This man was in his early forties, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he is a little fat, he is majestic.
This is Li Wu, the official minister, and Zhao Yong's biggest reliance in the court.
When Zhao Shan looked at Li Wu, a thin old man stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own account."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "It's accurate!"
Cao Xian couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, on July 6th, there was an earthquake in central Sichuan, which affected hundreds of miles away, and countless people were affected; on July 13th, a sky fire fell in Guanzhong, and the late emperor's mausoleum was affected. "
"On July 18th, the Jingzhou mountain ape cried incessantly, and the wailing lasted for three days."
"During the period when His Majesty entered the court, natural disasters occurred frequently, and I thought this was a warning from heaven."
Cao Xian's tone was measured and solemn, and he said solemnly: "God has warned me that only by issuing an edict to punish oneself can we survive the disaster. Please give me a clear warning."
Zhao Shan felt a little cold in his heart. For the sake of power, Cao Xian, an old thief, used celestial phenomena to force him with extremely vicious thoughts.
Unfortunately, he was already prepared.
Zhao Shan asked calmly: "Do all the ministers think so?"
"Your Majesty, my minister Du Gangfeng has this memorial."
Du Gangfeng stood up and reported in a loud voice: "Du Gangfeng, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, impeached Cao Xian for accepting bribes, killing people indiscriminately, and raping women. Moreover, Cao Xian used public weapons for private purposes and used power for personal gain, which involves 18 crimes. Your Majesty, please punish Cao Xian. To put things in perspective.”
