Two days later, in the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Ji looked at the helpless Liang Shicheng and looked forward to it: "Why don't you let Shaoyang express his position??"
Because of Chen Dong's visit, Zongze had already come forward to say that Tong Guan had done something wrong but was loyal to the Song Dynasty. Other officials also automatically removed Wang Fu. As Chen Dong guessed, Cai Jing and the others were dismissed just because of the current situation. He didn't really want to punish him severely, but now that the civil and military officials of the court had written letters and even knelt down and bowed down outside the palace, things were beyond his control.
After hearing this, Liang Shicheng gave a bitter smile, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have known these people for many years, and of course I am willing to save them if possible. Yesterday, Taishi Cai came to see me, but he was blocked outside the palace gate, crying with tears. I only hope that Your Majesty can remember the friendship we have shared for many years and absolve his sons of their crimes, especially one of them is His Majesty’s son-in-law.”
"But Zong Gong is right. Not to mention the mistakes they made, the palace's finances are now at the edge. If Your Majesty doesn't make a choice, the palace will probably be unable to make ends meet!!"
"In the past two days, they also knew about Tong Gong and Wang Shaozai. They all brought generous gifts and wanted to ask Chen Mi Mi, but Chen Mi Mi closed the door tightly and did not see anyone or accept any gifts. His attitude was obvious. , if we can survive, it is estimated that Mr. Lu and the others will go directly to block the door."
"Chen secretly visited Tong Gong. It was probably due to the friendship. Although Tong Gong was defeated this time, His Majesty must have heard from His Highness Prince Kang that Tong Gong was not careless this time. He even planned to go into battle in person many times. King Qi He almost lived and died, Jinan Mansion was almost captured, so I guess King Qi still has some respect for Tong Gong. In addition, Your Majesty, Tong Gong was at fault, but after all, he had military exploits. Over the years, several victories on the border were all Tong Gong fought back and cut off the head coach after losing. This is not the way of a benevolent king. As for Wang Shaozai, I don’t think it is as serious as Lu Shaofu and the others said. When Chen Mi came, he was responsible for the reception. .”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't bear to say: "After all, they have been helping me for so many years. I really don't want them to lose their lives like this. Let's sentence them to exile!!"
"Your Majesty, others can do it, but Zhu Meng can't! How can we negotiate with Jiangnan if we don't kill him?" Liang Shicheng said.
Zhao Ji's expression changed, and he finally sighed and shook his head: "I'm a little tired, please approve it for me!!"
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
"His Majesty!"
"What else??" Zhao Ji said with some dissatisfaction.
"Searching and exile requires people to carry out the execution. If Mr. Lu and the others are allowed to come, they will probably be stripped naked." Liang Shicheng was a little worried. In fact, he was more worried that someone would bite him out in the end, although this possibility is very small. , but still need to be cautious.
Zhao Ji frowned, "Then it's up to you to take the people there yourself, but remember, don't go too far."
"I understand"
"Oh! The Cai family will stop copying and let him hand over everything he has embezzled over the years. According to folk wisdom, he is still my in-laws after all!!"
"The officials are benevolent." Liang Shicheng looked at Zhao Ji leaving and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the imperial edict was issued. Tong Guan and Wang Fu were demoted to three levels, and the eunuch Li Yan was relieved of all his duties. He was handed over to the internal affairs department for severe punishment. The families of Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Zhu Meng were raided. Cai Jing and Gao Qiu were exiled. In other places, Zhu Meng, the envoy of Weiyuan Jiedu, committed serious crimes, harmed the people, deceived the king, and was immediately beheaded.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Jingdong cheered.
On the day the imperial edict was issued, a large number of forbidden troops began to take action. In the Taishi Mansion, which once represented the power of the entire Song Dynasty, Liang Shicheng came here in person.
"Prime Minister Liang, all the property of my Cai family is here. Except for this compound, which was personally gifted by His Majesty, you can take all the rest away." In a backyard, he looked at the thirty or forty people in front of him. Box, Cai Jing, who is already very old and can't stand firmly, said with a sad expression.
"Thank you for your help, old lady."
"I should be grateful to Mr. Liang. If you hadn't interceded, my Cai family would have been completely ruined."
"Old Master, it's serious. It seems that King Qi helped me this time." Liang Shicheng whispered, waved around, and said seriously: "Old Master, if the Cai family wants to make a comeback, I think they can only rely on King Qi now, otherwise Although there is a glimmer of hope now, people are gone and the tea is cold. As soon as the old master leaves, someone may be ready to deal with it secretly!!"
Cai Jing's expression changed and he saluted, "Thank you very much."
"Old Master, you are very polite. The official said that this is a long road ahead for being exiled. Take care, Old Master." Liang Shicheng sighed. With Cai Jing's body, it is impossible for him to come back alive. Even if he comes back, he will not be able to have the power he once had. , this prime minister who has been in charge of Zhongshu many times will probably have no chance in the future.
Because of Jiang Jing and the fact that Cai Jing’s son married the emperor’s concubine, even though the Cai family was the leader of the bandits, the process of confiscating the family and being exiled was still quite gentle. However, other than the Cai family, Gao Qiu, Zhu Meng, and Li Yan did not Being so comfortable, although Liang Shicheng had ordered not to go too far, many officials below had long hated these three traitorous officials, or in order to show that they were not traitors, they resorted to much more ruthless methods.
In the former Taiwei's Mansion, Gao Qiu, who used to be so majestic and powerful, and made Lin Chong unable to fight back with just his words, was now dressed in criminal clothes, tied up with iron chains, and was forcibly taken out by the imperial army. Many people were watching with relieved expressions.
"I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty, I have been wronged" Gao Qiu shouted unwillingly and in disbelief. The officials had clearly said that removing them from their official positions was just to appease the Qi State. When the situation stabilizes, they will Let them take over again.
"Let me go, let me go, do you know who I am?? I am Gao Yanei, and my father is a Taiwei!!" Another fat man in fine clothes next to him said angrily. It was the man who killed him. The culprit behind Lin Chong's death was Gao Qiu's adopted son Gao Kan, the notorious Gao Yanei of Jingdong.
"Shut up!" After seeing a commander of the imperial army, he suddenly rushed forward and slapped Gao Yanei so hard that he was so arrogant that he could snatch women at will.
Looking at the fearful look in his eyes, the commander who took action said coldly: "Do you know who I am??"
"you.."
"I am a good friend of Lin Chong, the current General of Qi State. Back then, you first framed the instructor, and then forced his wife to death. Now you still dare to act arrogant against me." After that, the commander said, first to Gao Qiuyi He then slapped Gao Yanei to the ground again.
"Hit me, give it to Coach Lin, and let the people of Jingdong vent their anger!!"
"yes!!"
After seeing it, the Imperial Guards immediately rushed forward and started beating him wildly. Miserable shouts echoed around him.
After seeing this, the people nearby not only did not feel pity, but many of them directly picked up the stones nearby and threw them over. If some forbidden troops had not stopped them, they would probably have joined in the beatings.
At this time, not far away, Jiang Jing and Du Xing looked at him coldly.
"After all, the officials say they are in exile. The father and son of the Gao family cannot die in the imperial capital. You take a few of them and pretend to be knights loyal to the Song Dynasty. After they leave the capital, cut off their heads and send them back to Qi. Coach Lin!!”
"Okay!!" Du Xing said with a ferocious look.
