Chapter 67 Drinking and scolding
Empress Dowager Gao stared at Zhao Xu with sharp eyes for a while. Seeing that Zhao Xu really had no intention of retreating, she stretched out her hand, opened the paper bag, and pulled out the pages of paper inside.
Empress Dowager Gao looked down and soon, she looked up at Zhao Xu and said, "Are all these true?"
Zhao Xu sat down directly beside Empress Dowager Gao, looked at Su Zhe who was blocked, Su Song who was silent, Liang Tao who was trembling, and Lu Dafang who was sitting on the chair without moving as if he was still in the mountain, and said, "Let the tie for Su Zhe. Grandma, everyone is here. The priest is here, so please ask yourself."
Without waiting for Empress Dowager Gao to react, Su Che, who was untied and used to gaggle rags, knelt down with a thud and shouted loudly at Empress Dowager Gao: "The Empress Dowager! My Song Dynasty has never treated the official family of the current minister like this! Now it spread throughout Kaifeng and all over the world! How do people in the world think of the official family! How do people in the world think of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty? How can I have the face of my Song Dynasty? Where is the morality?! The Empress Dowager, the laws of the ancestors of the ancestors of the world are not lawful, the world is disunited, and the disaster is coming, and the country is in danger! Today, Su Che has no face to meet the Empress Dowager, and no face to meet the ancestors of the Song Dynasty. He can only show his ambitions by death and fulfill the integrity of his ministers!"
As he said that, Su Che's face was full of harshness, and suddenly he stood up and was about to hit the pillar not far away!
Chu You kept staring at Su Che. When Su Che said "to show his ambition by death", he was very vigilant. When Su Che moved, he was held back by Chu You and pressed his backhand to the ground.
Several guards were startled and hurried over and pressed Su Che tightly.
Su Che struggled on the ground, pressed his face to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Why don't the officials let the minister die if they humiliate themselves? Could it be that they have to execute the minister Lingchi to relieve their hatred?"
Empress Dowager Gao looked at the contents on the paper in her hand and was shocked. When she heard Su Che was about to die, her face turned pale for a moment, and she breathed in anger and couldn't say a word.
Su Song and Lu Dafang were also shocked by Su Che's fierce reaction.
Zhao Xu listened, furious, stood up, strode to Su Che, and cursed angrily, "I humiliate you? What do I humiliate you? Do you humiliate you? Do you humiliate you without virtue and incompetence? The Sansi Yamen is rampant, and millions of qians are deficient every year. The military pay on Huanqing Road has been delayed for half a year, and millions of qians have been corrupted, deducted, resold, and ignored the security of the border! Now, it has become me humiliating you! Tell me, where is it humiliating? You want to show your ambitions by death. You don't know, where will you place me in your death? What do people in the world think of me? Are you a minister's way? Are you a loyal king and a country? Are you a loyal king and a country? Which one is your loyal king and a country? Who taught you!"
Zhao Xu was filled with anger and cursed. He couldn't help but raise his foot and kicked Su Che hard.
Seeing Zhao Xu being so disobedient, Empress Dowager Gao opened her eyes and her face turned as if she was so blue, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Dafang opened his eyes wide, raised his head slightly, and stared at Zhao Xu, his expression gradually became solemn.
Su Song stood aside, and Mr. He was furious at this moment, looking at the ground ahead with his eyes.
Zhou He was even more frightened, lowered his head and trembled all over. He wanted to block his ears, dare not listen or look.
Su Che, who was beaten and scolded by Zhao Xu, endured the severe pain and wanted to open his mouth to argue. He spoke with a muffled and painful voice - he could not find a refutation.
Zhao Xu kicked him for a long time and vented his anger a lot. He turned to Su Song and said, "Shuxiong, tell my grandmother what is in it, I made up. See if I humiliate the Three Secrets!"
Su Song looked up at Zhao Xu, and his mouth twitched secretly. He raised his hand to Empress Dowager Gao and said, "I know something, but I don't know it."
Old slippery!
Zhao Xu snorted secretly, turned to Lu Dafang who was still sitting, and said, "Prime Minister, please say."
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were like swords and immediately stared at Lu Dafang.
She entrusted her political affairs to the three prime ministers, but she didn't know that millions or even tens of millions of treasury money and grain were embezzled, deducted, and even military pay was misappropriated and resold every year!
Lu Dafang slowly stood up and looked at Empress Dowager Gao, his voice as hoarse and calm as ever, and said with inexplicable confidence: "I have not seen what's inside yet."
Empress Dowager Gao held the table with both hands, as if she was about to stand up, her eyes widened and said in a cold voice: "Is the military pay on Huanqing Road true?"
Lu Dafang looked at Empress Dowager Gao, and from Empress Dowager Gao's tone, although he had never seen the contents of the two paper bags, he could roughly guess it in his heart, and remained silent for a moment, saying, "There is no conclusion yet."
Empress Dowager Gao knew that the military pay on Huanqing Road had 'disappeared'. The report from the Zhengshi Hall to her was "suspected of the plunder of the rebels". She didn't know that it was done by the Sansi Yamen and the people from Huanqing Road. She didn't know that the wage arrears on Huanqing Road were so serious, but she knew that the Xia Kingdom was about to move, and that war might break out at any time!
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes widened, her face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, and her body was shaking violently uncontrollably.
Zhou He was panicked when he saw it and couldn't help but say, "Empress..."
Su Song also woke up in horror and stared at Empress Dowager Gao, feeling unprecedentedly nervous.
Zhao Xu looked at it, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandma, please relieve the breath, Zhou He, the imperial physician!"
Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly became weak and fell backwards.
Zhou He was shocked and ran forward and said anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!"
The originally solemn Cining Hall suddenly became in chaos.
Zhao Xu stepped forward and held Empress Dowager Gao. She saw that her face was pale, her whole body was still trembling, and the muscles on her face were thrusting.
Zhou He rushed over, and was so anxious that he was speechless.
Su Song and Lu Dafang all stepped forward. The two frowned and stared at Empress Dowager Gao without saying a word. They had different expressions. They looked at Zhao Xu, who was supporting Empress Dowager Gao, silent and didn't know what they were thinking.
"Quickly, carry my grandmother to the bedroom."
Zhao Xu couldn't wake up Empress Dowager Gao, and saw her face full of pain, he shouted to Zhou He.
Zhou He was frightened and hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhao Xu and Zhou Heli stood up with Empress Dowager Gao and carried her back to the bedroom.
Lu Dafang and Su Song wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Chu You and said, "The two grandpas are not allowed to move without the will of the official family."
Lu Dafang raised his head, expressionless and stared at him.
Su Song looked at the side door of the bedroom, and a glimmer appeared on his thin face, and said, "Wait."
Lu Dafang turned to him and said, "Aren't you worried?"
At this moment, even Chu You could understand the meaning of Lu Dafang's words.
Su Song slowly walked to the chair on the side and said, "With the official family here, what's there to worry about?"
Su Che was still pressed to the ground, and his mind was full of Zhao Xu's yelling. Empress Dowager Gao suddenly fainted and shocked him, but he didn't know what to say. He could only continue to be pressed in shame and hatred.
Lu Dafang glanced at Chu You, held his hand, thought for a while, and slowly sat down on his chair.
Seeing that the three prime ministers were honest, Chu You walked out of the palace gate, called someone, and quietly rearranged them.
Empress Dowager Gao suddenly fainted, and no one knew what would happen next. As the actual supreme power of the Song Dynasty, her every move had a great impact, let alone at this time.
In the bedroom.
The imperial physician took the pulse of Empress Dowager Gao with a nervous look on his face, and cold sweat couldn't help but spread on his head.
In addition, there are only Zhao Xu and Zhou He in the bedroom.
