A few days later, a shocking news suddenly spread throughout Bianjing. Song Yang, the deputy privy envoy of the Song Dynasty, Weininghou, and the brother of King Song Jiang of Qi, was assassinated by a group of assassins on his way back to his mansion in the evening, and was seriously injured. .
As soon as this news came out, the whole city was shocked. Song Yang, the Marquis of Weining, was the eldest brother of the King of Qi. The Qi State did not defeat the Song Dynasty and Song Yang was forced to take the hostage, but the Qi State wanted to show its loyalty to the Song Dynasty. , it was arranged on his own initiative, and now it’s like this, how can King Qi just let it go? !
"I heard that although most of the assassins who assassinated the Marquis were killed by the accompanying personal guards, one was still captured alive. It is said that he was a Taoist priest from Shenxiao Palace."
"Shenxiao Palace??"
"If it is true, they are simply looking for death. Shenxiao Palace has relied on the trust of the officials and under the banner of Taoism to do evil and occupy fertile land in recent years. However, the officials trust Shenxiao Palace, and the King of Qi will not be used to it. Qi State Their hundreds of thousands of troops will not care about the theory of reincarnation of immortals. They only have King Qi in their hearts. As long as King Qi gives the order, they will immediately send troops to the imperial capital to avenge Marquis Weining!!"
On this day, in the Chui Gong Hall of the Imperial City, an elderly imperial doctor looked at the worried Zhao Ji and sighed: "Guan family, the Marquis was indeed seriously injured, especially the sword on the chest. If the Marquis hadn't penetrated If you take out the inner armor, I'm afraid it will directly kill the Marquis. This, at least, I don't think it was intentional!"
Hearing this, Liang Shicheng, who was next to him, immediately looked at Lin Lingsu, who was full of panic at this time, and said angrily: "Daozhang Lin, you are really capable, you are going to destroy the peace of the Song Dynasty!!"
When Zhao Ji heard this, he looked over with the same serious eyes. He also knew all the rumors outside. Song Yang's arrival was a sign of Song Jiang's sincerity. With Song Yang here, Qi State would never dare to take any random action. What's more, he I have promised it over and over again.
"Officials, this matter has nothing to do with me and Shenxiao Palace. How can I boldly send people to assassinate the marquis and mess up the world's plans!!" Lin Lingsu said anxiously.
"Taoist Master Lin, do you still want to make excuses now?? Everyone knows these days that the Marquis is opposed to the Taoist priests of Shenxiao Palace participating in government affairs. At the same time, he is worried that Shenxiao Palace over-respects the kings and affects the status of the prince. , not to mention that the assassins have been caught. Maybe you don't know, but those people below you are used to being arrogant and domineering. They think that their martial arts are superb and blessed by gods. How can they allow the Marquis to influence Shenxiao Palace? status," Liang Shicheng continued with a cold face.
"You're talking nonsense!!"
"Okay," Zhao Ji said in disappointment, feeling a little unsteady on his feet.
Lu Yihao, who was next to "Your Majesty", quickly helped him and said seriously: "Two of you, now is not the time to be suspicious of each other. The key is that since the assassin has been caught, we must find out the truth and be prepared at the same time. If something like this happens, King Qi’s character will never remain indifferent.”
Zhao Ji was startled and said quickly: "Master, what do you think we should do?"
"The official family must immediately send someone to Qi State to appease the King of Qi. Just say that the court will give him a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded heavily.
"Officials, I think that besides what the Taifu said, there is one more thing that must not be delayed." Zhao Ding, who is now the deputy privy envoy, is also there.
"explain!!"
"I think that the entire imperial capital must be properly rectified. This is the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. First, the patriarch was poisoned, and then the marquis was assassinated. Is this still under the emperor's feet? Some people have reached the point of being completely lawless. , If things go on like this, how will the people of the world view me, the Song Dynasty, and who in the civil and military dynasties will dare to speak out?" Zhao Ding said angrily, and looked directly at Lin Lingsu.
After Zhao Ji's face hardened, he also looked at Lin Lingsu, who was now pale, and his eyes gradually turned cold, "It's true that I'm too indulgent. Both Zong Gong and Marquis Weining are the bastards of the imperial court, and they are constantly being assassinated. I have said that I don’t care about many things, but this country is left by our ancestors, and I will never forgive anyone who touches it!!”
Lin Lingsu trembled, knowing that between the great cause of the dynasty and the Shenxiao Palace, Zhao Ji chose the great cause of the dynasty without hesitation.
"Your Majesty" Lin Lingsu knelt on the ground.
On the second day, Zhao Ji directly issued an order, ordering Kang Wang Zhao Gou to command the Infantry Division to conduct a strict investigation and correct the style of the imperial capital. At the same time, he appointed Cao Feng as the new commander of the Imperial City Division.
That night, an official with a serious face and a bit of cold eyes looked at Zhao Ji and said with his fists in his hands: "I report to the official family that the assassin who was captured alive by the Marquis' personal guards snatched the sword and committed suicide on the way to the Imperial City Division. Yes, before he dies, everything is done by him on his own and has nothing to do with Shenxiao Palace!!"
The newly appointed commander of the Imperial City Division, Cao Feng, was originally one of the chief officers of the Criminal Division, and was personally recommended by Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ji's face darkened, "I ask you, is Shenxiao Palace really as Liang Shicheng said, befriending powerful people, interfering in government affairs, harming the people, and occupying fertile land!!"
After Cao Feng's expression changed slightly, he immediately said: "There is currently no conclusive evidence for the official's atonement."
"No, or you don't dare to say it," Zhao Ji said angrily. Song Yang suddenly became angry at an outsider like Lin Lingsu in the court. Something must have affected the peace of the two countries. In addition, he recalled recently, Lin Lingsu Lingsu seems to be fair, but he seems to be biased towards King Yun.
"The officials should calm down. The Imperial City Department is now short of manpower and has no longer had the power it had when the late Master Su was here, so I ask the officials to give me two days!!" Cao Feng said immediately.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji stood up seriously and said: "I give you absolute power. The Imperial City Division must regroup and investigate for me. Investigate it to the end and wipe out all these secret dirty things!!"
"yes!!"
Two nights later, in a Taoist temple in the palace, Zhao Ji looked at a pile of evidence in his hand, looked at the approaching Cao Feng with trembling hands, and said in disbelief: "It's impossible! How dare they do this? !!”
"Reporting to the officials, these are absolutely true. In fact, the rebellion in many places is not due to the incompetence of the local government. It is entirely due to the dominance of the Shenxiao Palace. However, the blame does all fall on the government, because the Taoist priests of the Shenxiao Palace, The government is not allowed to ask questions at will, and even the minister found out that they had intervened in the harem. The deaths of several empresses were also very strange, and there were also emperors and concubines. However, Shenxiao Palace is still a state religion, so "I can't question the senior officials yet." After Cao Feng said this, he no longer dared to speak.
After hearing this, Zhao Ji felt a little unsteady.
Liang Shicheng, who was next to "Guan Jia", quickly helped him.
After Zhao Ji saw it, he suddenly burst into tears, "I trust him so much, why does he betray me so much, why does he betray me so much!!"
Liang Shicheng quickly comforted him: "Guan, this is not your fault. It's because they are too cunning and ruthless. If the officials hadn't restarted the Imperial City Division, it would have been difficult to find out, because officials at all levels of the Yamen agree with them." Something to do with it!!”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he suddenly looked at Cao Feng with a ferocious look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't he have a way to protect himself? Then let's see what he is capable of and catch him!!"
"Yes" Cao Feng said immediately.
"Also, let King Yun enter the palace immediately," Zhao Ji said angrily.
"yes!!"
