Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

After arranging this matter, Zhao Ji just looked at the civil and military officials of the court with helplessness:

"My dear friends, you must be able to keep your composure."

"I've been waiting for so long, but you still haven't told me about it."

"Since you won't say anything, then let me do the talking."

After Zhao Ji finished saying this, he slowly took out a letter from his sleeve.

Immediately, he handed it to Eunuch Sheng who was standing aside:

"Xiao Shengzi, regardless of whether the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have read it before, you should read this letter out."

Because before that, Eunuch Sheng had already read the confession written by Tong Guan.

So after seeing the letter written by Gao Qiu, although I was still a little surprised in my heart, it didn't show too much on my face.

As for the first sentence in the letter, it is still as written by Tong Guan:

'My colleagues, dear officials. '

'Your great grandfather and I have taken refuge in Liangshan! '

At the back of this letter, Gao Qiu even described Shuibo Liangshan as being like a legendary paradise, beautiful and extremely pleasant.

The meaning expressed between the lines of his words is also to persuade the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to join the water in Liangshan.

Before Eunuch Sheng could finish the confession, the voices of the civil and military officials in the court could not stop being heard.

The man said:

"Although Gao Qiu was deprived of the emperor's salary, he did not appreciate the emperor's kindness."

"It's really a vivid interpretation of the word eating inside and outside."

And the man said:

"That Gao Qiu was originally from the market."

"It is reasonable for someone to do such a rebellious thing today."

And Zhao Ji, before Eunuch Sheng had finished believing the letter, suddenly slapped the dragon case in front of him and stood up suddenly.

The look on his face was extremely angry.

Words of anger came out frequently:

"Gao Aiqing, Gao Aiqing, I was so kind to you before, but after you went to Shuibo Liangshan, you turned around and insulted me like this."

"It's really irritating, hateful, and heart-wrenching!"

Cai Jing, who ranked first among civil servants, saw how angry Zhao Ji was at this moment.

He immediately walked out of the queue:

"The officials calm down, calm down."

"It seems to me that Master Gao wrote such a treasonous letter under all kinds of coercion after being captured by Shuibo Liangshan."

"According to Wei Chen's understanding of Mr. Gao, it is absolutely impossible and he would not dare to write such a letter without the influence of external forces."

"Please also ask the officials to take a clear stand."

Zhao Ji stared intently at Cai Jing, who bowed to him.

After a while, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Being intimidated?"

"Humph!"

"What a coercion!"

"Cai Aiqing, let me ask you a question."

"If you are threatened in the future, you will be asked to kill your father, mother, wife, and children at home immediately."

"Could it be that you would do that too?"

"If you are intimidated by someone in the future, you will be asked to kill me here."

"Could it be that you would do that too?"

"Humph!"

"Coercion is not an excuse for Gao Qiu to act recklessly!"

"I really didn't expect that, I really didn't expect that such meaningless words could come out of the mouth of Grand Master like you!"

"It really disappoints me."

Cai Jing slowly stepped down from the imperial steps and straightened his body.

The expression on his face was extremely complicated, and then he bowed to Zhao Ji again:

"The humble minister realizes his mistake and begs the officials to punish him."

Zhao Ji sighed dejectedly.

Then, it was as if all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.

He slowly leaned on the dragon chair behind him:

"That's it, that's it..."

"Cai Aiqing, you are an important minister of the country and have made countless contributions to the country."

"If I were to punish you just because of such a trivial matter, how could I do it?"

"What's more, as the saying goes, who is not a sage and has no faults?"

"Cai Aiqing, you don't have to blame yourself anymore."

"It's just that for those two guilty people, one is Tong Guan and the other is Gao Qiu, we must not be lenient."

"If not, our entire Song Dynasty Hall will become a joke among the people of the Song Dynasty."

When Zhao Ji looked helpless, Yang Jian, who was standing behind Liang Shicheng, slowly walked out of the queue.

Fu asked Zhao Ji softly:

"I dare to ask the officials, how do they plan to deal with those two traitorous ministers?"

Zhao Ji sighed softly, and then waved his hand towards Yang Jian:

"Let's ransack the house."

"Now our Song Dynasty court does not have the ability to immediately capture those two traitorous ministers."

"I don't have the ability to tie him here and hold him accountable immediately."

"If that's the case, then let's confiscate the homes of those two traitorous ministers first."

"In this way, this matter can be considered to have come to an end for the time being."

"As for how to deal with those two people after this, let's wait until the imperial army captures the two traitorous sycophants."

"It's pointless to talk about it now."

"Besides, the confiscation of the house will also be of great benefit to our Song Dynasty court."

"From now on, whether the imperial court is distributing salaries or spending military food, silver will be needed."

"If you raid the homes of those two sycophants, you will definitely find a large sum of money."

"In this way, I can temporarily atone for the sins of those two sycophants."

When Zhao Ji suddenly said that he would confiscate his property, Cai Jing originally wanted to unite all his party members to oppose it.

But when I heard about it later, I wanted to use the copied silver to pay for the army.

Cai Jing couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

Because he knew very well that every time the imperial court sent troops to suppress thieves, he, the grand master of the dynasty, would be able to squeeze a lot of benefits from it.

And that food and salary is the most important item.

Originally, he wanted to unite with people from his faction to dissuade Zhao Ji from ransacking his home.

First, it is to maintain his absolute leadership position in his own faction.

After all, if a leader cannot even protect the interests of his subordinates...

So how could those people willingly defend a leader like him after this?

But now?

Since there is an opportunity to gain a lot of benefits from it, neither Tong Guan nor Gao Qiu seems to be able to come down from the Shuibo Liang Mountain in a short time.

In this case, it is better to hold the benefits in front of you firmly in your hands.

As for Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, they should be abandoned first.

After all, since that matter has developed to this point, it seems that it is not very useful if it is maintained in every possible way.

It was because Cai Jing thought of this that he did not continue to dissuade him.
