Chapter 286: Mean Emperor(2/2)

Gao Gonghui felt chill from the bottom of his heart, turned around and suddenly headed straight to his study.

"Master, the guest is still waiting..."

"Let the second and third brothers entertain you, and just say I didn't come back from the eldest lady." Gao Gonghui didn't care and went straight to the study with the case file.

The servant responded to his orders. The living room of Gao's family was still brightly lit, with cups and chats, and they were constantly coming and going, and they were lively.

Gao Gongpai was in the study and looked carefully at the case file that Chen Qi gave him. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Because this case file is very detailed, the relationship between the nobles from the local area to Kaifeng City is very clear, and the evidence link is connected one by one, with almost no loopholes!

Gao Gong was sweating coldly on his face. Only then did he realize that although Zhao Hao was dead, not everyone and the matter were hidden after he died. The court had already investigated it clearly!

Then, Gao Gonghui thought of the Queen Ning Yuan who was confiscated and the Duke of Qi who donated all his wealth, and his heart was chilled.

The court didn’t know nothing, it was just waiting for the opportunity!

This time, is it their Gao family's turn?

What should he do? Should he be Qi Cheng, Duke of Qi, donate all his wealth, or resist like Lu Dafang to the end?

Gao Gonghui stared at the case file, frightened and couldn't make up his mind.

Compared to the lively atmosphere of Gao Mansion, the palace is relatively deserted.

Zhao Xu watched Zhang Dun leave, picked up the teacup, quietly took a sip of tea, and thought to himself.

Zhao Xu was not surprised or opposed Zhang Dun's move to the Gao family. However, can this just curb the increasingly boiling opposition forces?

Zhao Xu thought for a while, glanced at Chenpi, and said, "Do you still have a lot of books from the censors?"

Chenpi turned sideways and said, "Yes, there are dozens of books every day, and there are several people who speak particularly fiercely."

Zhao Xu nodded and said nothing.

Whenever such a thing happens, the censors charge forward and are on the front line, and then there will be several leaders. Whether they are sincere in serving the country and the people, or directly seeking fame, these people often can rise to the top for ten or eight years or even shorter.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and suddenly said, "You ask the Political Affairs Hall to pay attention to the people and things that are good in the "new law" to promote good promotion, take it out, reward it heavily, and set a few benchmarks! Then, severely punish those who fail to respond, and take a two-pronged approach. The official newspaper, announcement and public opinion should take the lead and not let the outside lead. The "new law" should not be deceived, and I also want the "people's heart"!"

"Yes." Chenpi responded calmly.

After Zhao Xu said this, he picked up the memorial and said, "After a while, I will go out and have a look. Please ask Hu Zhongwei to prepare, don't make any moves, keep a low profile."

"Yes." Chenpi responded, looked at the sky outside, and whispered: "Official family, it's too late, why don't you rest early?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and continued to review the memorial.

Now there are more and more things. With the resurgence of the "new law", various contradictions are emerging one after another. We must deal with and resolve them, and we must also prepare for the full recovery in the future.

Although Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others could share some of it, the emperor Zhao Xu still had to deal with very heavy government affairs.

When Chen Pi saw this, she didn't dare to persuade her, so she went out quietly to convey Zhao Xu's words to Qingwafang.

Early the next morning.

Many guests stayed at Gao's house after hanging over and stayed overnight.

There are three people sitting in a small living room in the backyard of the Gao family.

Gao Gonghui and two old men, one in his sixties and the other in his nineties.

Gao Gonghui looked at the old man on his left hand and said for a while before finally saying, "Grandpa San, this is what happened."

Gao Gonghui is the nephew of Empress Dowager Gao. Gao Gonghui calls his grandfather, and his generation is even higher than Empress Dowager Gao!

This is the elder of the Gao family!

The third grandfather was covered in white hair and extremely old, as if he hadn't heard Gao Gonghui's words, closed his eyes and snored gently.

Gao Gongyu looked at it for a while and had to turn to the one on his right and said, "Uncle Liu, what do you think?"

‘Uncle Liu’ is also a nearly seventy-year-old man with a cold face and said coldly: “If you want my Gao family’s property, Zhang Dun has a big appetite!”

Gao Gonghui didn't say anything. Now their Gao family has been involved in the "Yellow River Dike Break Case". If it really goes out, it will be light to confiscate the Gao family!

"Uncle Liu" looked at Gao Gonghui with anger and said, "You don't have to agree to him. I will go to the palace with my third uncle later. I will ask the official family if he wants to force us to death and his grandmother to death!"

Gao Gonghui twitched the corner of his mouth. If he asked such words, the past officials would definitely be ashamed and surrendered, but you may not be able to see this person now!

"Six Uncle" seemed to have thought of it, and then said: "If we can't get in, we will be killed in front of Xuande Gate, so that the people of the world can take a good look, and see how the Song Dynasty court and the officials of the Song Dynasty treat the nobles and how they treat the scholars... Will they still have the face to meet their ancestors in the future..."

Gao Gonghui was shocked, afraid that these people would do this, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle Six, wait a moment, it hasn't reached that level yet. I thought, go to the palace later and ask about my aunt's attitude. Then see if other people's thoughts are there any room for improvement."

"No."

Grandpa San seemed to have woken up, opened his eyes, looked at Gao Gonghui, and said in a vague voice: "The Empress Dowager can't help us anything, we have to find a way ourselves."

Gao Gonghui was shocked, looked at the 'Three Grandpa' and said, "Three Grandpa, do you have any insight?"

"Sixth Uncle" also looked at him. This man was a mature spirit and had a very high status in the clan.

"Three Grandpa" slowly closed his eyes again and said, "First send the rewards from Yingzong, Shenzong, and the officials to the Ministry of Revenue."

The Gao family is a relative of the foreigner, and Empress Dowager Gao is the current Empress Dowager, Empress Yingzong, and Empress Dowager of Shenzong!

After four dynasties, the Gao family was rewarded countless times, and even when Zhao Xu was young, he was rewarded many of them in his name.

Gao Gonghui's eyes lit up immediately and said, "It's still the third grandfather who is smart!"

These are all rewards from emperors of all dynasties. Without the nod of the official family, the Ministry of Revenue would not dare to accept them, even Zhang Dun could not do it!

They are testing Zhao Xu's attitude and forcing Zhao Xu to express their opinions!

If Zhao Xu accepted his grandfather and his father gave him what his grandmother's house, how mean Zhao Xu would be to outsiders!

Even if Zhao Xu was willing to accept it, the court could not agree.

How can the holy reputation of the official family be defiled?
