Chapter 279 Two Palaces: Someone is forming a clique? What a thief!(2/3)

It was just because I had no excuse that I didn't feel angry at that time.

But in fact, I have already planned in my heart to find an excuse in a few days to throw him out of the capital!

Unexpectedly, this Liu Zhi didn't know whether to live or die, kicked his nose in his eyes, and continued to use this despicable method!

Kaifeng Mansion deceives the emperor?!

On the surface this seems to be the case, but in reality it is not.

Fu Yaoyu personally interrogated all the prisoners.

Naturally, this also includes the dozen novice monks and the two disciples of Monk Huixin.

In order to be fair, Fu Yaoyu personally assessed the Buddhist practice of these people.

The result is that all the novice monks’ Dharma and scripture cultivation are superior to the two disciples of Hui Xin!

In other words, Kaifeng Mansion at least has no problem in selecting people.

For the Empress Dowager who worships Buddhism, this is enough!

The novice monks were really reciting sutras when they entered the palace, instead of pretending to be fake and defrauding royal rewards.

At that time, the reason why the Empress Dowager did not have an attack was because there was not enough evidence to prove that Liu Zhi was intentional? Or was it unintentional?

Liu Zhi, however, was so stubborn that he continued to pester the Kaifeng Mansion, unaware that in the eyes of the two palaces, he was already a criminal suspected of "disrespecting the two palaces, spying on the Sacred Heart, and treating the emperor like a child."

Therefore, his letter was equivalent to confirming the suspicion of the two palaces in front of him!

Sent him to the execution ground of peeling hemp!

The reason is very simple - if you didn't have this intention, how could you dare to hold on to the Kaifeng Mansion when I clearly issued an edict to the Yushitai to discuss the treatment of Huixin monk?

He was charged with deceiving the emperor and cheating!

What do you think I am?

Three-year-old child? Those peasant women in the countryside who listen to the wind and make it rain?

Do you dare to say otherwise?!

As far as the royal family is concerned, there is no need for evidence in this matter.

It’s all about your heart!

I feel like you are going to hurt me!

Then you must be harming me!

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, how many people have been innocently accused of this matter?

Countless high-ranking officials and generals died under the suspicion of the royal family.

Liu Zhi was also lucky. He was born in the Song Dynasty and was a civil servant.

Otherwise, it's just that the two palaces think that he is scorning, snooping, or looking at someone.

It was enough for all three of his tribes to play Xiaoxiaole.

However, even so, he would inevitably have to go to the prison of Dali Temple, and he might have to stay in a remote military state for the rest of his life.

But, how could Zhao Xu let him go so easily?

Zhao Xu thought about Liu Zhi, the leader and prime minister of the Shuo Party in his previous life, the advocate of unconditional surrender.

He hated it so much that he gritted his teeth!

Even though, in his previous life, Zhao Xu had already killed him.

But this resentment still cannot be eliminated, and the thoughts still cannot be understood!

So Zhao Xu reached out and grabbed a magazine.

He had long noticed the imperial censor's bullets under Liu Zhi's bullets.

When he picked it up and looked at it, Zhao Xu knew that he had caught a double tail this time.

Zhao Xu put together the memorial, threw it on the desk, and said angrily: "What are these censors doing?"

"Mother, Queen, look at this magazine again!"

"Ask them to discuss what to do with Monk Hui Xin, don't they understand?"

"That Shi Yushi is just going to impeach the Kaifeng Mansion!"

"How dare this supervisory censor dare to talk about my father's good governance?"

"Who gave him the courage to speak beyond his authority?"

"The censor can only supervise hundreds of officials. How can he talk about government affairs, laws, and the father's moral government?"

The two palaces looked at each other, then picked up the memorial that Zhao Xu left behind and took a look.

His face also changed.

Because, this censor named Wang Yansou did not mention a single word about the treatment of monk Huixin in the whole article.

Instead, they talked about how the late emperor changed the exile of ordinary prisoners to the exile of local people.

Moreover, talk nonsense!

What did he actually say - I secretly noticed that since the various states implemented their own laws, the people have suffered a lot from the harassment of thugs, because they are all people who are prone to doing evil, fearless, and will never make a new start...

What's the meaning?

Queen Mother Xiang is the first to quit!

Are you accusing the late emperor's virtuous government of harming, crippling, and abusing the people?

So it is insinuating that the late emperor was a coward? A tyrant?

Reverse! Reverse!

At this time, Zhao Xu said something leisurely: "Both of these two censors did not say what they were supposed to say... Instead, they bitten others and even criticized the government's laws and regulations..."

"To the extent that the jealousy and curse towards my father's virtues and policies are vaguely visible..."

"Are they forming a clique?"

The two palaces were stunned at first, and then they both gasped.

Forming parties was a taboo for civil servants! It was also something that the Song Dynasty was always on guard against.

Don't look at public opinion. There is so much talk about the new party and the old party.

In fact, as long as the ministers in the court have a little closer contact in private, they may be reported, reported and even impeached by the censor!

And it doesn't stop there.

In order to prevent ministers from forming cliques, Zhao officials in the past dynasties have painstakingly tried every means to create obstacles and stumbling blocks for these people.

Different opinions are mixed up, and the tactics of controlling the big and small are all played out.

The most typical one is the New Party.

The new party in the Xining era was so united!

What now?

Wang Gui and Cai Que had turned against each other a long time ago and no longer mentioned it.

Who can explain clearly the relationship between Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing?

Anyway, Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing were on the same page.

Zhang Dun seemed to be able to chat and laugh with these two people, but in reality?

Zhao Xu knew it clearly - during Shaosheng's time, when Lu Huiqing returned to Beijing to report on his duties, Zhang Dun counted the days and tried every means to drive him away.

When Zeng Bu was in court, he always had no dealings with Zhang Dun.

So, here comes the question, are these people’s relationships destroyed by themselves?

The answer is that the emperor is causing trouble behind his back.

The ministers also knew it well and could only cooperate with the emperor in acting. As they continued to act, they naturally acted out revenge.

The best example is the allusion between Cai Jing and his son in the Zhao Ji era, who was a kind father and a filial son.

The new party has been dismantled to pieces, but what about the old party?

During the Yuanyou era, the old party split greatly. The Shu party, the Shuo party, and the Luo party criticized each other.

The Shuo party who finally won was driven out of the court by Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang because they were too radical and too incompetent.

Among them, the Empress Dowager was not behind the scenes.

For Zhao officials, it has become an instinct to check and balance and prevent ministers from forming cliques and silencing themselves.

And the courtiers basically accepted this unspoken rule.

They will take the initiative to create conflicts and problems with other people.

For example, Fu Bi scolded his father-in-law Yan Shu in court that he was a traitor to the country.
