    In the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, a Hanlin scholar, a scholar, and a state historian, was killed at his home in the capital. This was simply contempt for the laws of the Song Dynasty.

    Zhao Xu was very angry. He asked the governor of Kaifeng in the court to find the murderer within three days, otherwise he would be dismissed and investigated.

    The governor of Kaifeng was also aggrieved. He did not expect that someone would be so bold as to kill a court official.

    But three days was too short, so he walked out with his scepter in hand and asked, "Your Majesty, can six days be enough?"

    "No." Zhao Xu said, "It will take three days to find out."

    "But I don't guarantee three days!" Kaifeng Fuyin felt aggrieved. At this moment, he hated the murderer to death.

    At this moment, Zeng Bu, the Privy Council envoy, came out and Cai Jing was killed. Zeng Bu felt a little happy in his heart. He had always hated Cai Jing.

    But this had nothing to do with what he was about to say. Zeng Bu was holding a jade tablet in his hand and said, "Your Majesty just ordered Cai Shangshu to join the Third Division to investigate the affairs of the Imperial Prefecture yesterday, but he was killed at night."

    As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xu immediately raised his head. All the officials present were smart. They all thought of this, but only Zeng Bu said it.

    "Zhao Xu is neither a fool nor a fool. This matter is indeed closely related to the Imperial Master's Office.

    He wanted the elixir of life to be true, but he could not allow such a thing to directly destroy the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

    "The Imperial Master is here to see you." Zhao Xu said.

    Tong Guan walked out of the hall and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has a decree to send the Imperial Master to see you."

    Zhang Daoling came to Zichen Hall again. After he paid homage, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to ask: "Does the Imperial Master know about Cai Shangshu?"

    Hearing this, Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I already knew this at dusk yesterday."

    As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Zeng Bu immediately asked: "I only found out late at night, how could the Imperial Master know so quickly?"

    Zhang Daoling smiled slightly and faced Zeng Bu and said: "For such a big event, the whole city is celebrating with joy. Of course, Pindao will know about it soon. As for why the Privy Council did not find out until late at night, this is unknown."

    Zhao Xu asked doubtfully: "The whole city is celebrating with their crowns played? What's going on?"

    "Oh." Zhang Daoling looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Pindao also heard what the common people said. The common people said that Cai Shangshu was a corrupt official and often allowed people in his family to buy and sell by force. Even the nephews of the Cai family often  Oppressing women of the people Of course, this is just hearsay. Your Majesty, you didn't see that the people were so happy yesterday"

    Zhang Daoling became happier as he talked, but Zhao Xu's face became darker and darker.

    "Eh? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Daoling immediately asked with concern.

    Zhao Xu waved his hand and asked Zhang Daoling: "Master, Cai Jing was killed, what do you think?"

    "I haven't looked at it yet. The body should be parked at Cai's house, right?" Zhang Daoling said.

    Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I'm not asking you to see his body. I'm asking you, what does the Imperial Master think of this?"

    "Oh." Zhang Daoling nodded and said: "If what those people said is true, then I can only say that the killing was good. The murderer should be a righteous man and a hero."

    "The words of the Imperial Master are wrong." The Minister of Dali Temple said at this time: "If Cai Jing is corrupt and perverts the law, he should be handed over to the imperial court for disposal. How can he allow the gangsters to come and kill the imperial officials? In this case, where is the royal law of the imperial court?  "

    Zhang Daoling looked at the minister of Dali Temple and asked, "Then why don't you arrest Cai Jing?"

    The Minister of Dali Temple was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah we haven't found the evidence yet. How can we arrest people without finding the evidence?"

    "Yes, by the time you find the evidence, Cai Jing will have died of old age, and you can still dig up and whip the corpse." Zhang Daoling said with considerable approval.

    The minister of Dali Temple turned dark and silently retreated to his class.

    Although the ministers looked gloomy at Zhang Daoling's unreasonable words, Zhao Xu had a smile on his face.

    "So, the Imperial Master thinks that the murderer of Cai Jing is still a righteous man in the world?" Zhao Xu asked.

    Zhang Daoling nodded and said: "Yes, I implore your majesty to investigate Cai Jing's corruption and bending the law. If it is true, then this person is not only innocent, but a big bug for the court. He deserves a heavy reward and is recommended to be called into the army."  "

    "What?" After hearing this, the ministers immediately lost their minds.

    "You kill the imperial official and still want the imperial court to reuse him? How can such a thing happen in the world? Where is the law of heaven? Where is the king's law?" The officials retorted and reprimanded one after another.

      And he also pointed at Zhang Daoling and said: "Why does the imperial master lie to the emperor with his evil words?"

    "I didn't." Zhang Daoling said innocently, "I only said that when His Majesty asked me."

    Zhao Xu opened his mouth to stop everyone's dispute, and then asked Zhang Daoling: "I asked the Kaifeng governor to investigate this matter. First catch the murderer, and then investigate Cai Jing's corruption and perversion of the law. In any case, the murderer killed the imperial official and ignored the king's law.  Can¡¯t let it go.¡±

    "Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Daoling bowed his head, and then said to the governor of Kaifeng: "If you have any use for our master's palace, just ask."

    The governor of Kaifeng nodded, and Zhang Daoling said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, Cai Jing is dead, what should I do about Pindao? Your Majesty, please reassign officials, and Pindao will try his best to cooperate."

    "National Preceptor? Oh, it's the complaints, right?" Zhao Xu thought for a while and said to the governor of Kaifeng: "Please ask Aiqing to send an effective assistant to investigate the complaints."

    At the moment Zhao Xu finished speaking, a group of officials suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to investigate this matter."

    "Huh?" Zhao Xu looked at the officials and said, "Dear ladies, why is this? You said you wanted to investigate it before, why don't you let it be investigated now?"

    I saw the Right Prime Minister Cai Bian saying: "Your Majesty, chivalrous people use force to break the law. These Jianghu people have not obeyed the king's law for a long time. Now they dare to assassinate the imperial ministers. It is a heinous crime. What the Imperial Master did is exactly the way to rectify the source. Those Jianghu people  With his martial arts skills, he behaves recklessly, and the people of the world have been suffering for a long time. Those reports must be false accusations, and they should all be dismissed."

    "That's what You Cheng said!"

    "These people in the world should really be disciplined."

    "The National Preceptor did the right thing."

    "There is no need to investigate the matter of the Imperial Prefecture anymore. We must make every effort to search for the murderer of Cai Shangshu."

    Zhang Daoling successfully distanced himself from the relationship between Cai Jing's death and did not waste any time defending himself.

    This involves a very simple truth: If Cai Jing was really killed by himself, then he should immediately point the finger at all the Jianghu people, frame the blame on them, and then explain his good intentions in arresting those Jianghu people.

    But he didn¡¯t. He even said that it was a good kill and praised it greatly.

    Zhang Daoling would not be so stupid. He would only dare to say this if he did not do it.

    And this incident also reminded these court ministers that Zhang Daoling only wanted to make elixirs for the emperor, so he offended those people in the world. No matter how many complaints he made, the emperor would not really do anything to him.

    What Zhang Daoling did was not too excessive. Compared with the killing of court officials by Jianghu people, what Zhang Daoling did was only harmful to the emperor and some Jianghu people, and would not touch the fundamental interests of the officials.

    But if a person in the Jianghu dares to kill the court ministers at will, then this has touched their fundamental interests.

    This is intolerable to all ministers. Even if they are corrupt and bend the law, they are dealt with within the framework of the court. There are limits and maneuvers. Sometimes they are fined with up to three drinks, and the most serious is just demoted.  .

    But those Jianghu people are different. They act based on their emotions and anger, and kill whole families at every turn without any scruples. Moreover, these people also have super strong force, which is definitely a taboo for the imperial court.

    After thinking about this, it no longer matters whether the matter in the Imperial Prefecture is investigated or not.

    With just a few words, Zhang Daoling turned the small conflicts between the officials towards him into a major conflict between the officials and the martial arts world, a force beyond the control of the court.  And this is not without precedent. People in the world have assassinated court officials. It has happened in all dynasties, let alone the Song Dynasty.

    Therefore, the officials feel that the most important thing now is to declare the attitude of the court to the whole world. If they dare to kill court officials privately, the court will never take them lightly.

    This time, the ministers' opinions were unprecedentedly unified. Even Zhao Xu was a little confused at the moment when he looked at the united ministers.

    If Wang Anshi¡¯s reform and the others had been so united, they wouldn¡¯t have failed (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
