That night, in Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Ji looked at Lu Yihao who had arrived, and said angrily: "Du Chong can be of great use, is that what you told me?"
"I am guilty, but what I heard is not consistent with what Marquis Yuan Ning said. The son of Du Shaofu was indeed a man of the moment, but he was not really offended. Instead, he was severely beaten by the princess's two female guards. After a meal, I am still lying at home," Lu Yihao explained quickly.
Hearing this, Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to him, said in a cold voice: "Mr. Lu loves his colleagues. I would like to ask, if this time I am not the princess and there is no female guard around me, will I have to wait for this Du? After the young master committed indecency, Master Du was truly responsible for his lax discipline!!"
"this.."
Liang Shicheng took a look, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Guan, the tripartite talks are now at a critical period. As the son of a young master of the imperial court, he does not observe etiquette and does not know the overall situation. He molests women in the bustling streets. Where is the face of the imperial court? , where are the laws of the Song Dynasty!!"
"In addition to the official family, this princess is not an ordinary person. She is the wife of Marquis Yuanning. She is not only the princess of Chu State, but also the concubine of Qi State. What Du Guang did is tantamount to offending Qi and Qi at the same time. The two countries of Chu!!”
"Liang Taiwei, the matter is not so serious! At worst, I will go and apologize to Marquis Yuan Ning in person." Lu Yihao was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. If others said this, forget it, but Liang Shicheng used to be in charge of Zhongshu with Cai Jing. At that time, the disciples and officials below committed countless crimes that were much more serious than this.
"Mr. Lu, now it's not a matter of apology or not, but a matter of the etiquette of the country. If you are so partial, why don't you let someone tease your daughter?" Liang Shicheng seemed to have seen through what Lu Yihao was thinking, and immediately counterattacked without changing his expression.
"you.."
"Okay." Zhao Ji glanced at Lu Yihao unhappily, shook his head and said, "Remove Du Chong from all official positions and let him go back to his hometown!!"
When Lu Yihao heard this, he said anxiously: "Guan, Shaofu Du is not strict in running the family, but he is an important minister of the imperial court. How can the official demote an important minister just because of the words of Marquis Yuan Ning?" This is not the way of a sage!"
After hearing this, Zhao Ji suddenly turned cold and said, "The most important thing now is the peace talks between the Three Kingdoms. If I don't kill him, it will be very good."
"official"
"Back off!!"
Looking at the angry Zhao Ji, Lu Yihao shook his head with disappointment and left.
"Guan, look at this Grand Master Lu. He has been domineering and domineering since he took charge of Zhongshu. There is no trace of the submissiveness of the Grand Master back then. I don't think the Grand Master back then had much more power than him, but he was still courteous and courteous in front of His Majesty. His Majesty said that even if it was hard and difficult, he would do it one by one. In fact, many of the grievances the Grand Master suffered were not for himself. However, this Grand Master Lu kept telling His Majesty that this was wrong and that was inappropriate. He takes Caitang's name, promotes his cronies, and thinks he is the hero of salvation. He is far inferior to the patriarch!!" Liang Shicheng said with a pretentious sigh after his eyes moved.
When Zhao Ji heard this, the gloomy look on his face instantly became darker, but in the end he still suppressed the anger in his heart, shook his head and said: "Zong Qing values him, and I can't let my ministers feel cold because of such a thing!!"
"Officials and ministers also admire Taifu Lu's talent and ability, but since the Taifu left, the group of people in Zhongshu have been claiming to be heroes of saving the world every day. If they don't suppress it, where is the power of the monarch!!" Liang Shicheng said.
"did you mean??"
"Guan family, in fact, although Tong Gong lost to Jingdong, there is no doubt about his talent. Guan family should give these people a chance to wake up and not be too arrogant and ignore Shengting," Liang Shicheng said, holding his fists.
"Tong Guan" Zhao Ji felt a little nostalgic after hearing this, and immediately said: "Is he okay now!!"
"It's not good. Although the officials are kind and have only been demoted three levels, the court is now in the hands of Taifu Lu and the others. Many ministers, openly or secretly, often insult Tong Gong and even accuse him of many unfounded charges." Liang Shicheng shook his head.
"Bastard" Zhao Ji slapped the desk and said, "Go, bring him to see me."
"yes!!"
"Oh! And Wang Fu, I haven't seen them for a while," Zhao Ji sighed.
"The official is benevolent." Liang Shicheng saluted and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
. . . . .
The next day, Zongze came to Zhao Ji. After hearing what Zhao Ji had said, and looking at the pleading eyes, Zongze smiled bitterly and said: "The official family is the master of the world, and Tong Gong was also the leader of the Song Dynasty. If you have made great contributions, you can naturally be punished and meritorious. It is true that Tong Gong is more familiar with the affairs of Liao and Jin, and of course I have no objection to being appointed as the governor of Hejian!"
"So Zong Qing agreed?" Zhao Ji said happily.
Zongze nodded.
"Okay, great, I will immediately appoint Tong Guan as the governor of Hejian. He will set off immediately in three days." Zhao Ji quickly said to the eunuch next to him, as if he was afraid that Zongze would regret it.
"yes!!"
Seeing this scene, Zongze shook his head, knowing that Zhao Ji still couldn't do without those treacherous ministers who let him do whatever he wanted, but he had long passed the years of fighting for favor, and now he only thought about how to stabilize the country of the Song Dynasty. Tong Guan went No matter if he goes to Hejian Mansion, Song Jiang will keep an eye on him. If he harms the country and the people, he will naturally take care of it.
"Zong Qing, how is the negotiation going?" Seeing that Tong Guan's matter was resolved, Zhao Ji asked in a good mood.
"I'm sorry, the Chu State is still delaying, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never give up on Hongzhou, let alone the imperial soldiers who are defending there," Zongze said seriously.
"That's good. If something like this happens this time, I hope it won't affect the negotiations!!" Zhao Ji said.
"The officials can rest assured, I will handle this matter."
"good!!
Soon, while Zhao Ji was still chatting happily with Zongze, he saw the eunuch who was delivering the order came running anxiously again and said in a panic: "Officials, Taifu Lu led a group of officials from Zhongshu to kneel outside the palace. It is a serious crime to speak to Tong Gong. Such people cannot be reused!!"
Zongze was suddenly shocked and said immediately: "How presumptuous!!"
Zhao Ji's face darkened and he said coldly: "Okay, okay! They really think that I am easy to bully. Zong Qing, this is the minister of the Zhuguo you recommended to me, how much more do I have to give in!"
After saying that, Zhao Ji walked away with a cold face. He used the dignity of the emperor to ask for Zongze as a caring person. He had completely put down his attitude and showed his respect for Zongze. But Zhongshu was still like this. Is there anything in this world? Isn’t your surname Zhao? !
When Zongze saw this scene, he immediately looked at the eunuch anxiously and said, "Quick, take me there."
"yes"
Soon, when Zongze came out, Lu Yihao, who was kneeling to worship the invitation, was stunned and said in surprise: "Zonggong??"
"Yuan Zhi, how do you want me to say hello to you? You are so smart and so confused for a moment!" Zongze said angrily. Lu Yihao's talent is undoubted, but his behavior is too arbitrary and willful. This first invitation, That was for the sake of the country and the people, but this second time, it was to force a woman to have a baby.
