In the sixth year of Jingkang, the imperial court avoided the Qixi Festival and chose July 8th to announce the crimes of the Duke of Lu County, Duke of Wei County and King Ji, and the result of the handling was announced.

For a moment, a sensation aroused in the Song Dynasty.

The royal family case was the most influential case in the sixth year of Jingkang, but the court set an example for the world: royal relatives violated the laws of the Song Dynasty and committed the same crime as the common people!

This incident had a profound influence among the people. Later, a folk historian said in a simple and easy-to-understand vernacular: The sixth year of Jingkang marked the beginning of the improvement of the laws of the Song Dynasty and had universal authority.

However, some people think it starts with patent law.

In fact, it not only has a profound influence among the people.

The royal family case also made all officials more convinced by the emperor.

In recent years, the emperor has investigated corrupt officials too ruthlessly, and in fact, many officials have complained in private.

But now, they have nothing to say. The emperor killed even the people in his own clan. What else can I say?

The royal family case did not end so soon, and this case was so widely spread that everyone was surprised.

For example, the Yue Fei case, which was paid attention to by the government and the public, has not responded for a long time, which has attracted countless speculations.

Some people think that the emperor will definitely not punish Yue Fei.

The reason is very simple. Yue Fei was a hero in destroying Jiaozhi and a hero in attacking Xia.

Any of these two contributions can be taken out, which is enough to shock the big bosses in the army.

And Yue Fei is also the emperor's brother-in-law and the husband of Emperor Yifu.

Both the Marshal of the Central Government and the Governor of the Central War Zone were optimistic about Yue Fei.

Some people even think that Yue Fei is the future marshal of the Song Dynasty.

Among the people, there are also passionate young men who regard Yue Fei as their idol.

Moreover, the several wars that Yue Fei participated in have now become classic teaching cases of the Imperial Military Academy.

In the army, many people respect Yue Fei.

Wu Jie, who defeated Renduo Baozhong in the War to Destroy Xia, was Yue Fei's loyal admirer.

Therefore, people are more convinced that the emperor will not really punish Yue Fei.

But with the lessons of the royal family case, this conjecture seems a bit forced.

Yue Fei's private transfer of the army violated the military law of the Song Dynasty. The Supervision Bureau has sorted out all the details of the case, and few people in the court dared to plead for Yue Fei on this matter.

The military tycoons in several major war zones were paying attention to the emperor's attitude.

Therefore, there will be no big suspense in punishing Yue Fei, it depends on how the emperor punishes him.

If the punishment is light, it is not enough to intimidate the army. If the punishment is heavy, it will indeed cause talent losses.

In this matter, Qin Hui, the Military Command of the Supervision Bureau, was very tough.

He asked the emperor to remove all positions in Yue Fei's army and impart Yue Fei directly to the Longyou Protectorate.

For this reason, Qin Hui attracted a lot of scolding.

Some people called him a spy on the backbone of the Song Dynasty, while others called him a spy on the Jin thief.

Some people even threw things at the gate of Qin Mansion to express their protest.

Just when the government and the public were paying attention to the Yue Fei case, the emperor still did not focus on the Yue Fei case.

People did not notice that many people came to the royal family in Tokyo, Luoyang and Yingtian Prefecture today.

The emperor met all members of the royal family from Luoyang and Yingtian Prefecture at Shengping Building.

Not only were Zhao Hongyi, Zhao Zifang, Zhao Shuren and Zhao Xu given white silk, they were not worthy of being able to enjoy the Taimiao after their death, which was a tragic end.

In this case of food swallowing, the royal family received eight or nine out of ten people involved.

The four men were summoned to the capital as soon as they died.

These royal children were all like frightened birds, so scared that they couldn't sleep at night, and they kept talking all night about Taizu and Taizong Wei Wang blessing them.

This time there were more than ten members of the royal family who came here, and they were arranged to be in Shengping Building.

This is the place where the emperor invites his ministers.

When the emperor arrived, the royal family quickly crawled on the ground, curled up and shivered.

Although I heard that Zhao Zhongcong insisted on killing Duke of Lu County, after all, the emperor agreed, how could these people not be afraid?

Moreover, I heard that Zhao Zhongcong made a statement in front of the emperor and wanted to arrest all the people involved in the case and investigate the matter strictly!

They couldn't help but guess the purpose of the emperor asking them to come to the capital this time.

"The sinner bows to the Emperor!"

The emperor sat in the main seat, and Zhao Zhongcong sat on one side, closest to the emperor.

"Everyone has stood up, today is a family dinner."

The emperor's tone was calm, and everyone felt relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Each of them sat in their seats, and the palace maids came with delicious food and imperial wine.

These people were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing why the emperor suddenly invited them.

Along the way, they had fantasized about many scenes, and some even planned to escape and escape to the distant overseas.

Anyway, I don't want to die.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that I can't die.

Some people are glad that they didn't run away, otherwise they would be ruined in their entire lives.

The emperor raised his wine glass and showed a kind smile on his face: "Come on, everyone, drink this glass of wine first."

Zhao Zhongcong on the side had a bad face. He watched these people drink happily, and couldn't help but stand up. He suddenly knelt in front of the emperor and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! Please give me the guilty minister to death!"

"Why did Zhao Zongzheng say this?"

Those royal families who had just changed their minds were shocked by Zhao Zhongcong's actions.

Zhao Zhongcong said: "Your Majesty, as a major official, I failed to fulfill my loyal duties, which is a dereliction of duty. The crime of the royal family is a major crime that harms the country and the people. Now, your Majesty has taken great pains to protect the royal family, but he is still suspected of being a tyrant. It is the fault of the minister. Please give me the crime of death!"

As soon as he said this, the royal families could not sit still.

Damn! Zhao Zhongcong, you are cruel enough!

We privately scolded Zhao Huan's tyrant, but now you say it on such an occasion, aren't you going to kill us?

The royal family quickly stood up, knelt on the ground again, shouting: "I am wronged, please let Your Majesty observe clearly!"

Zhao Zhongcong also complained in his heart: Oh, who made me such a bullshit business? If you don’t mess with you, the emperor will mess with me!

Zhao Huan stood up and helped Uncle Zhao up in person: "Please get up with everyone."

The emperor's face was kind, which made everyone feel much smaller.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhongcong continued, "Your Majesty! Please give me a death sentence!"

The members of the royal family wanted to peel Zhao Zhongcong and get cramps. The emperor didn't say anything anymore. Why are you still here endlessly?

They began to worry again. Although the emperor is now kind to them, what if they go back?

Zhao Zhongcong has always been by the emperor. According to this posture, Zhao Zhongcong will continue to make suggestions to the emperor.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts started to feel cold again.

They suddenly realized the terrible terror of being with the king is like a tiger.

What if the emperor raises up old accounts one day and kills them all?

After thinking about it, they really wanted to escape overseas.

The emperor asked Zhao Zhongcong to sit down, but Zhao Zhongcong refused. The emperor persuaded him repeatedly and Zhao Zhongcong sat down, but he did not seem to be planning to let go of the royal family present.

The emperor finally spoke, "Everyone, you..."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am willing to be punished!"

"I came to you not to punish you, but to show you a clear way."

Uncle Zhao said to him: "I am willing to arrange everything according to Your Majesty."

These people wanted to fly to the farthest place from the emperor immediately.

Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Zhongcong: "Zhao Zongzheng, you retreat first."

"His Majesty……"

"Get out first!"

Zhao Zhongcong reluctantly surrendered.

After Zhao Zhongcong left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the royal families wanted to eat his meat and drink his blood.

Damn! This emperor is so scheming.
