Chapter 967

Liu Zhi slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he had only two words to tell Zhu Guangting, which was stupid!

When it comes to this time, do you think that you can survive this crisis with your own colorful intestines? Can you fool Gao Taotao, the female Yao Shun, by saying clever words?

"...I also know that these things are wrong after all, and I dare not argue myself or speak without any mistakes. But I hope that the old minister will give me a chance to make up for my decisive efforts for the country and country of the Song Dynasty for decades..."

There was almost no expression on Gao Taotao's face at this moment, and he just looked at Zhu Guangting who was crying like rain and screaming in his throat.

At this moment, she deeply agreed with the actions of Emperor Zhao Xu. Zhu Guangting was so disappointing.

At this time, the first thing I thought about was not admitting my mistake, but was still lucky and wanted to take the opportunity to shirk the blame.

Later, he admitted his guilt, which seemed to appear to be a loyal and upright minister who was willing to bear and bear false charges for the sake of the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, his expression faced the audience Gao Taotao, who had been dealing with civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty for many years and had met countless types of Song Dynasty ministers.

In the past, she was unwilling to expose it because she needed a stable court and political situation. The Song Dynasty needed the support of these important officials who seemed to be pillars.

But now, the emperor is growing and mature quickly. A group of young officials led by Wang Yang and Wang Wushan are quickly joining the political territory of the Song Dynasty.

With Wang Yang and others as a comparison, let’s look at Zhu Guangting’s seemingly loyal and loyal to the country and the people, but in fact, in order to satisfy his own selfishness, the important officials in the court who regard the emperor’s decree as nothing, were like a piece of stinky shit next to a piece of white paper.

In this case, Gao Taotao understood what choice he needed to make.

"Zhu Qing family, after hearing what you said, it seems that you have really carried countless grievances for the sake of my Song Dynasty. It seems that it was my Song Dynasty court, and I, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, who was defeated by you?" After Zhu Guangting ended, Gao Taotao said lightly.

However, such a rhetorical question made Zhu Guangting, who was secretly applauding his urgent wisdom and eloquence in his heart, was stunned. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

But he soon came back to his senses and realized a little crisis and hurriedly rested again. "I dare not, I just do my duty. Even if I suffer such grievances, it's okay. Besides, I have indeed made many mistakes and omissions in this way..."

"But why does the Ai family feel that you, Zhu Guangting, seem to have nothing wrong with you, is that the envoy of the Western Xia, is Gu Lu Guang, and he should not bribe you with property.

You should not agree to help Xixia, so you asked Mr. Su to stop the navy patrol on Wuding River to facilitate the Xixia people to transport food, grass and supplies to help Shizhou.

You shouldn't agree. You should use peace talks to release those Xixia prisoners of war whose hands were stained with blood from our Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians..."

Every time Gao Taotao said something, Zhu Guangting's face changed a little. When it came to the end, Zhu Guangting's face turned pale as paper.

"Do you want to tell the Ai family that these are all lies fabricated by the civil and military officials from Shaanxi led by Wang Wushan?" Gao Taotao's eyes never left Zhu Guangting's face.

Zhu Guangting was sweating profusely at this moment, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground again. "Empress, I am guilty..."

"You are indeed guilty. If the Ai family is still in charge of the government, you should be punished with a serious crime of understanding foreign countries!" At this point, Gao Taotao couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Empress, please calm down..." Liu Zhi quickly bowed to the ground, and naturally he did not dare to plead for Zhu Guangting at this time.

"In the past, Ai's family felt that you, Zhu Guangting, was also a talented person. He trusted you very much and entrusted with important responsibilities. I hope you can work hard for the country and country of the Song Dynasty, but what did you do?"

"Until I came to the palace to see Ai's family, the Ai family thought you could still repent and confessed to the Ai family honestly. As a result, at this time, he was still thinking about turning black and white. Do you think Ai's family is blind or deaf, or are you old and confused?"

"Empress, I am guilty, I will die. Please take care of myself..." Zhu Guangting did not dare to be clever at this moment. The Empress Dowager was so angry that Zhu Guangting really wanted to slap him ten times without relieving his hatred. What is this called? Smartness was mistaken for being clever.

"You have disappointed the Ai family too much, and His Majesty too much." Gao Taotao slowly restrained his anger and finally sighed. "Give me the reward, bring it..."

"This is the last time the Ai family has seen you. I hope you will know yourself in the future..." After saying this, Gao Taotao stood up without stopping.

Xu Degong waited for Gao Taotao to leave, then walked to Zhu Guangting, took out a small box, and handed it to Zhu Guangting, who dared to raise his head at this time.

"Mr. Zhu, take it. This is the kindness of the empress. Let our family give you something. It can be regarded as a small reward for your successful return from Shaanxi..." After throwing this sentence, Xu Degong bowed respectfully to Liu Zhi, turned around and hurried towards Gao Taotao leaving.

"You, I really don't know what to say to you..." Liu Zhi looked at Zhu Guangting, who was so heartbroken, and shook his head helplessly. At this time, I guess he should give up.

After Zhu Guangting was stunned for a long time, he opened the wooden box given by Gao Taotao, and there was only a piece of exquisitely packaged malt and a small wooden toy for children.

Seeing these two things, Zhu Guangting's body, which had just stood up, couldn't help but shake.

"Playing with grandchildren..." Liu Zhi saw those two things, without thinking about it, and he already understood the intention of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.

"Empress, this is why I am more tactful, retire and go home obediently, be an old man who plays with grandchildren..." Zhu Guangting naturally reacted, smiled bitterly, and said to himself. "Okay, that's fine."

"Let's go, Brother Guangting, you don't have to be too sad. Being able to have such a peaceful old age is already a great grace for Your Majesty and the Empress." Liu Zhi sighed lightly, patted Zhu Guangting on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Well, let's go, thank you brother. Unfortunately, Zhu is too far and stupid. When it comes to such a time, he still wants to be clever and lose his life." After all, Zhu Guangting is also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time.

At this time, he was already losing everything, so he naturally understood that if he was not willing to accept this result, he wanted to continue making trouble.
