Zhao Guan's family was not surprised, after all, he knew the truth.
Seeing Zhao Mengqi's answer like this, I was very happy. I felt that this boy was sensible, knew how to calm things down, and had his own style.
There are so many turmoils in this world, and there is no need to take everything so seriously. If you suffer a little grievance and then calm down the matter, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Zhao Yun, who felt relieved, showed a smile and asked, "Ms. Cai Li, Prince Zhong also admitted his mistake. Do you have any other accusations against him?"
"A civilian woman, there are no other charges."
Cai Li didn't hesitate, and Yuan Ze beside her didn't seem to have any other opinions.
This is very strange. If the case is closed at this point, then he will become a person who makes trouble out of nothing, makes a fuss and creates big trouble for the court. Not to mention other things, at least his career will definitely end here.
No matter what others thought, Zhao Yun was very satisfied at this time. What he wanted was to settle the dispute as soon as possible, so he said, "This is very good. King Zhong is at fault. I am determined to strip him of his title of Pingzhangshi and ban him for one year." , and charged him with copying the Song Xingtong ten times in order to reform. As for Cai An, he cannot be resurrected after death. I posthumously appointed him as the training envoy of the Chuzhou regiment, and Yin Yizi as Zhongyi Lang. I named you a pleasant person and gave you two fields. Ten acres, two hundred guan of money. So, Mr. Cai Li, are you satisfied?"
Tuan Lian Envoy was promoted from the fifth rank to the deceased Cai An. His son who was still nursing also got a ninth rank official. Cai Li also became a foreign wife. With the rewards, it can be said to be very generous. .
As for the punishment of Prince Zhong, it can only be described as scratching his itch, just meaningless, but he is the prince after all, so this has left others speechless.
This treatment is in line with Zhao Yun's character, and all the officials are not surprised.
"The women of the common people are extremely grateful for the grace given by the officials and dare not ask for anything more from him."
After Cai Li thanked her, she accepted it happily, completely losing her bitterness, hatred, and injustice.
As a result, not only did the officials feel awkward, but when it spread to the people who were watching, they immediately exploded.
"Damn it, are we all being fooled? This is bullshit justice. This is purely to blackmail the court."
"Although it can't be said to be blackmail, we have indeed been taken advantage of by this woman to enrich herself!"
"A bitch who begs for money! She's so damn scheming..."
"Forget it, forget it, after all, the head of the family is dead, so it makes sense to find some way for his family to survive."
"Mother Xipi is really unlucky. I wasted a day... Come on, we have done good deeds and gained merit."
"No! Isn't it true that the loyal king has nothing to do with him? Can he still get rid of the evil dragon?"
Zhao Guan's family could not feel the resentment and resentment of the common people. He only felt the satisfaction of being relieved of trouble, "Mou Qing, I would like to..."
Unfortunately, when he thought it was over, it was actually just the beginning!
"Your Majesty! Xiao Tailai, the minister on your right side, has something to say!" A loud voice resounded through the imperial street!
An official wearing a Xie Zhi crown walked out of the train with his head held high and came to the middle of the Royal Street. Holding a Wat board in his hand, he bowed deeply to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was very angry when he was interrupted, but after seeing the person clearly, he could only hold it in deeply.
The censor is an official, and his duty is to correct all decrees and decrees, judge the erroneous opinions of the superiors, and correct the evil deeds of the officials. Moreover, this is under the watchful eyes of hundreds of officials and the people, and the emperor cannot blatantly stop the official from speaking. .
"Xiao Bique has any objections to my handling?" Zhao Yun said angrily. He thought that the arrangement he made was the most appropriate.
Xiao Tailai straightened up, with a solemn look on his face, "What I want to report is not about His Majesty's will, Sir! Impeachment of the loyal king, frivolous and perverted law, not only violated the rules and lynched officials, but also smashed the Qian family's mansion in public, humiliating Qian The family is full of people, and their children are captured as slaves and robbed of the Qian family's ancestral relics! The Qian family's ancestors accepted the land and became ministers, which can be said to be a great contribution to our Song Dynasty. Their descendants have been loyal and dedicated to our Song Dynasty for generations, but such people are regarded as if they are loyal to the king. Ants, wantonly beating, scolding, humiliating, and plundering violently! Wouldn't this chill the heroes, make the people with lofty ideals resentful, and make the world cold-blooded! In this case, who dares to be loyal to me, the Song Dynasty!? The loyal king is so unwise and immoral, How can he be the crown prince of the Song Dynasty when he is tyrannical and unethical? For the sake of the Sheji ancestral temple and the plan of all the people in the world, I would like to advise you to the death, please abolish the throne of loyal crown prince!"
Zhao Yun was confused by the sudden impeachment. He had agreed to deal with the loyal king's misdemeanor, but why did it end up involving the Qian family.
Judging from what he said, it seems that King Zhong has been despised by everyone in the world. As long as he is in power, no one will be willing to work for the Song Dynasty.
Before Zhao Yun could sort out the clues, another person came out and said, "I am supervising the imperial envoy Zhu Yingyuan to impeach Prince Zhong for disregarding human relations and destroying the rule of law! It is said that Prince Zhong's biological mother, Mrs. Huang, was originally a maid of Prince Rong, and she wanted to enter the country for good fortune. After seducing King Rong, she was lucky enough to become pregnant with royal blood and become a concubine. She was still not satisfied, and tried to make her mother become Princess Rong based on the wealth of her son. However, the loyal king not only did not dissuade him, but also relied on his status as the crown prince to act as an aide. He not only insulted King Rong regardless of human ethics. The royal family even tempted King Rong to kill his wife and favor his concubines, causing Princess Rong to run away from the house. This shows that King Zhong has a corrupt moral character, has only the will to give up, has no righteousness, and ignores the general ethics. How can such a character be worthy of being the crown prince of the Song Dynasty? !? For this reason, I also urge you to abolish the title of Crown Prince Zhong!"
Then there was another person, "I am impeaching the loyal king, Lu Yue, the prosecutor of the imperial censor, for being unfilial! As a prince, the concubine is also his mother, but the loyal king not only failed to behave filially, but instead beat and abused..."
"I also impeached the loyal king, wantonly used public weapons, arrested imperial students without reason, kidnapped the ministers' children to extort money, imprisoned the clan's children with evil intentions..."
"I impeach the loyal king and condone his subordinates to openly commit murder..."
"Weak ministers impeach the loyal king, are greedy and lustful, live in dissolute ways, and have secret affairs with prostitutes..."
"I impeach a loyal king who is extravagant and spends a lot of money to buy trivial toys..."
"I impeach the loyal king, I am lazy and tired of learning, and I abandon the learning of the saints like a piece of shit..."
"I impeach the loyal king, who is suspected of being possessed by evil spirits, causing harm to the people, and stealing the luck of the Song Dynasty..."
"I impeach the loyal king..."
Dozens of officials, ranging from the fifth rank to the eighth rank, spread across all departments of the court. They all looked like they were sacrificing their lives for justice. They stood in the middle of the imperial street and recounted all kinds of misdeeds and crimes against the loyal king.
Zhao Mengqi stared with a look of shock on his face. He never thought that he could be found guilty of so many crimes. It was simply that all the evil people in the Valley of the Evil put together were not as bad as him alone.
Even after listening to it, I felt deeply that I wanted to strangle myself, a heinous person who had committed such a heinous crime.
Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the throne, had dull eyes and subconsciously pinched his thigh hard, trying to wake up from this nightmare. This was too terrifying.
Among the ranks of important ministers, everyone was shocked by the scene before them, especially Dong Huai, who doubted whether he had become a fake prime minister. If these people in front of him were not connected, it would be a ghost, but it happened that he Right under my nose, I know nothing!
He couldn't help but look suspiciously at Uncle Xie Fang beside him, and asked, "Is it you?" is that you! ?
Uncle Xie Fang, however, looked at his nose and his heart, acting as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and showed no sign of responding at all.
Next was Cheng Yuanfeng. The veins on his forehead kept jumping. Looking at the group of impeachment officials, he seemed to see a group of monsters.
Ma Guangzu's eyes turned white, and he thought about the recent events in his mind, and he seemed to have caught some vague clues.
The other important ministers also looked solemn and thoughtful.
Ding Daquan was standing a little back. He was very anxious at the moment. He glanced at Uncle Xie Fang from time to time, waiting for him to come out and make the final decision!
When taking political sides, important ministers will never express their opinions easily unless they have to. They are already in high positions and do not need to gamble because the risks and benefits are really disproportionate.
Therefore, the previous discussion was that when the minions were done building momentum, it would be time to thank Uncle Fang, the former prime minister, for coming out to express his position, so that other ministers could be mobilized to complete the final blow.
But Uncle Xie Fang seemed to have fallen asleep, which puzzled Ding Daquan. In desperation, he even wanted to go out by himself. However, he now has a lot of power, but his rank and qualifications are still too low, and he does not have much appeal among the ministers. If you don't have enough strength, it will be useless if you go out.
As a last resort, Ding Daquan had no choice but to wink at Zhou Tan, the highest-ranking official in his party.
