Zhao Xu blinked and said: "The matter of conviction should be the responsibility of the Criminal Department, when will I, the emperor, also be responsible for convicting people?"

Tan Yushi, you think I'm not busy enough. ”

Fools know that Zhao Xu is helping Tang Ning, and from the beginning of Tang Ning's career, the word Zhao Xu has been branded on his brain.

Although this is the case, it cannot be said that because Zhao Xu kept it, he turned a blind eye to Tang Ning's actions. Especially when his behavior violates his own interests, even if he is desperately trying to offend the emperor, he has to stand up and say a few words.

Tan Wangchun was promoted by Cai Jing, just like Tang Ning, and two words were also branded on his brain. It's just that the two words on Tang Ning's head are Zhao Xu, and the two words on his head are Cai Jing.

Officialdom throughout the ages has been like this, people in high positions always have something inconvenient to say, and at this time they need a spokesperson, or rather, a ghost for the dead.

Tan Wangchun is obviously Cai Jing's substitute ghost, and his opinion is basically Cai Jing's opinion.

If it were a few years ago, when Zhao Xu's physical condition was still good, Cai Jing might not have used Tang Ning as a breakthrough. But now Zhao Xu is terminally ill, maybe he will die tomorrow.

Cai Jing naturally wanted to take advantage of this time to build momentum for Zhao Ji, who he was ready to support. He needs to be a bit stronger in order to attract more people to join him.

Zhao Xu's words sounded like a joke, but in fact they were slightly referential. Recently, the household department and the government department have stopped doing things. The piles of folds were directly handed over to Zhao Xu, and the folds that they had the right to dispose of before were also sent together.

Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu wanted to share the burden for Zhao Xu, but their abilities were limited after all. Besides, with so many twists and turns, Zhao Xu just can't read it, and it is also a burden for him to stamp it when he opens it.

This is Cai Jing's conspiracy, he blatantly burdened Zhao Xu, wanting to drag down Zhao Xu's body and exhaust Zhao Xu to death.

And Zhao Xu can't say anything about him, after all, the previous twists and turns were also handled like this, but now there are a lot more trivial twists and turns.

The most important thing is that Cai Jing, the old fox, is very cautious, and he basically has no negative ~ news. Zhao Xu wanted to attack him, but there was no reason, so Zhao Xu held back the fire in his stomach and said it along with the sentence just now.

Tan Wangchun, as the most direct recipient, naturally felt a sudden increase in pressure. His face was flushed, his head was sweating profusely, and he said hesitantly: "The official family misunderstood, Weichen didn't mean that......"

Zhao Xu pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, I also know that you don't mean that, it's just talking."

You also heard Danyang Hou's proposal just now, what do you think? ”

Tan Wangchun felt bitter in his heart, everyone used to attack each other, who was not a beard with empty mouths and white teeth

Make up a mess? Fang himself said that there is evidence, but it is just that. Besides, the Marquis of Danyang Mansion did this, why did he Tang Ning dare to be so arrogant?

Could it be that he Tang Ning still has something to do? He can't turn white into black out of thin air, can he?

So Tan Wangchun raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Cai Jing, Cai Jing nodded at him quietly, and he replied, "Weichen thinks it's okay." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Regarding this matter, the specific sentencing will be handed over to the Criminal Department for processing, and for a while, I am afraid that there will be no results."

But I have a suggestion, you two might as well take a gamble on it. What do you two think? ”

Tang Ning immediately said: "Weichen doesn't have any opinions, if Tan Yushi doesn't spread rumors, Weichen will tie his hands and go to the criminal department, and let Yan Shangshu deal with it." ”

"Don't dare." Yan Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a smile: "The Marquis of Danyang has made outstanding achievements, leveled the toe, broke the Liao army, defeated the Jin State, and restored Yanyun." These are all things on the surface, Lao Yan, from a personal point of view, I don't want to see you come to the Criminal Department to receive punishment. ”

Although he is a scholar of the Criminal Department, Yan Jing is still a little humorous. As soon as he said this, all the ministers chuckled. The grim atmosphere, which had just been a little severe, eased up all of a sudden.

Zhao Xu also laughed, then squinted his eyes, looked at Tan Wangchun and said, "But if you falsely accuse Danyang Hou, you can't just pretend that this incident didn't happen, right?"

Yan Shangshu, tell me how to use the punishment? ”

"There is no precedent, and it is not easy for the old minister to sentence. However, from a personal point of view, Lao Chen felt that cutting out his tongue should not be too much. Yan Shangshu said with a smile.

His daughter-in-law is Wang Zhongxiu's daughter-in-law, and she gave birth to two big fat boys to his family, and Yan Shangshu naturally wants to be close to the Wang family.

Zhao Xu laughed, turned his head to look at Tan Wangchun and said, "Tan Yushi, what do you think?" ”

Tan Wangchun was already sweating like rain now, and he didn't know why Tang Ning was so confident. Could it be that he deliberately released false news to lure himself into taking the bait?

Just when he was entangled, he heard Tang Ning say: "Official, it's too much to cut your tongue!" Yushi originally eats with his mouth, if you cut off his tongue, how can he speak?

And cutting the tongue is risky to drop! In case Tan Yushi accidentally dies, isn't this an irreparable loss for my Great Song Dynasty?

Weichen thinks that it is still a palace punishment, which can not only have a deterrent effect, but there are experienced people in the palace, and Tan Yushi will definitely not be in danger of his life! ”

Tan Wangchun couldn't wait to jump up and strangle Tang Ning to death now, Tan Wangchun would rather cut off his tongue than the two taels of meat under his crotch.

And do you listen to what he said, this is human language? Is this a human being able to speak? Tan Wangchun's face was flushed with anger,

He just didn't have that ability, otherwise he would have jumped up and killed Tangning right now.

If it weren't for the public, Zhao Xu would definitely have to slap his thigh and laugh for a while. But now that dozens of pairs of eyes are looking at him, Zhao Xu is embarrassed to be so rampant.

Forcibly held back a smile, slapped his head and said in annoyance: "It's me who owes it, Danyang Hou's proposal is good." Tan Yushi, do you have any other opinions? ”

"This ...... Wechen ...... This ......" Tan Yushi was speechless, and Tang Ning fanned the flames on the side at the right time: "Tan Yushi, if you don't dare, just give up, Ben Hou won't blame you."

It's just that you don't have to mention things about Ben Hou in the future, and by the way, you apologize to Ben Hou again, and this matter will be over. ”

Tan Wangchun was about to cry, he really didn't know what to do now. Tang Ning, why is he so confident? What did he leave behind? Lord Cai won't be fooled, will he?

He was just the one who spoke for Cai Jing, and he never thought that he would lose his little brother who had been with him for decades because of this!

The stakes were too high, and he didn't dare to take them. Tang Ning's statement made him a little moved. But it's just an apology, and it's not a big deal......

Raising his sleeves and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Tan Wangchun showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and he was about to apologize to Tang Ning.

But Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cai Jing who shook his head, and Tan Wangchun's heart suddenly cooled half.

He used to be just a poor scholar, but now he has a good wife and a beautiful concubine, lives in a big house, and becomes a big official...... All of this is thanks to Cai Jing.

To be able to have today, it is completely the help of Lord Cai. Without him, there would be no self. And without himself, Lord Cai will definitely be able to find someone else to replace him.

Tan Wangchun couldn't be clearer about how many catties and taels he had.

He is one of Lord Cai's dogs, and he should do what Lord Cai tells him to do, otherwise Lord Cai will be able to eat dog meat at night.

Thinking of this, Tan Wangchun gritted his teeth. It's just throwing away two taels of meat under his crotch, which is nothing compared to the glory and wealth he has now.

So he raised his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, Weichen took the ......"

When he said this, Tan Wangchun felt that he was already a dead end, because Tang Ning, as everyone knows, has always been the master who refuses to suffer.

Not to mention the story of his previous retribution, this time, the envoy of the Liao State gave 500 taels of gold for his life, and he turned his head and asked for the life of the Liao envoy for 1,000 taels, and by the way, he also wanted all the Khitans to die, and the head of a Khitan person was exchanged for ten taels of gold.

Therefore, Tan Wangchun felt that Tang Ning could be so confident, completely because he was prepared, he must have a back hand, and his little brother must not be able to keep it......
