"Mr. Deng, this, this, the call referendum..., what is the result?"

A scholar-official asked in a vain. Everyone's eyes were on Deng Su. Deng Su's eyes moved slightly and looked at Chen Dong. Just as he was about to speak, Hou Fangxiong's face darkened and he said first: "Slowly, this impeachment of the prime minister must be more than half of the total number of academics and governments to be considered successful. This is a established rule, right?" Now the number of academics and governments who agree to the impeachment exceeds the number of opponents, but only two more. If the academics and governments with moderate positions are to be counted, it will not exceed half of the total number of academics and governments present. Hou Fangxiong saw hope. He was worried that once Deng Su spoke, the situation would be difficult to recover, so he ignored the suspicion and stood in front of Deng Su.

"Nonsense!" Another scholar yelled immediately, "Hou Fangxiong, what do you mean?"

"If you lose, you lose. Can you be fooled? It's worse than a villain in the market."

"Does the great etiquette and law do not include the moderate position?"

"Hmph, can you cheat on me? Do you have the nerve to sit down safely?"

"How did you calculate it in the past? How do you calculate it now?"

"Since that's the case, let's go, let's go, let's go, it's better if the big gifts don't come."

The academic government, who agreed to impeachment, was immediately furious. This time it was considered to have a broken face. If Chen Dong did not take the post, he would have been in a difficult life in the future. These people immediately started to attack, and the academic government, who supported Chen Dong, did not give in, and both sides immediately started to quarrel in the hall of deliberation. In the past, when the Ministry of Rites passed some proposals, in order to pass certain proposals, the academic government, which had a moderate position, did not count the academic government, which had a moderate position as a total number. These academic governments were experienced by themselves. Therefore, among the above verbal battles, the academic government who agreed to impeachment would be in power, and they seemed less righteous with Hou Fangxiong and others.

"Prime Minister," Deng Su walked to Chen Dong with some embarrassment and asked in a low voice: "Look at this..."

Chen Dong's face turned pale and said nothing. He knew the rules of the call referendum of the government and did not bother to argue. At this time, Hou Fangxiong and others knew that they could not do it, but Deng Su ignored it and came to ask Chen Dong directly. Chen Dong opened his eyes and looked at him deeply, as if he was about to see this person clearly for the first time, and then closed his eyes slightly.

Deng Su nodded, turned around and returned to his seat and knocked on the awakening wood several times.

The hall of deliberation became quiet. More than 200 other scholars, including Lu Yunsun, Hou Fangxiong and other ministers attended the deliberation. The eyes of the audience fell on Deng Su. Deng Su looked around at the hall of all the scholars, and first bowed to Hou Fangxiong and said in a deep voice: "If you don't use rules, you can't make a square or round. Great etiquette and law are the foundation of our dynasty. One is one, two is two. If it changes according to people and things, it will be a move to shake the foundation of the country." Hou Fangxiong's face was slightly dark, he looked at Chen Dong, sighed, and stopped talking.

Deng Su took the record handed over by the clerk, and everyone held their breath.

Chen Dong also opened his eyes and slowly announced: "Chuzhou academician Lu Yunsun and other 51 academicians jointly impeached, 243 academicians and economics were called publicly, 109 people agreed to the impeachment, 107 people opposed it, and 27 people stood at the right side. This impeachment resolution,..." He looked at Chen Dong with apologies and said in a deep voice, "It has been passed."

Lu Yunsun was calm, but his slightly trembling pale beard betrayed his mood.

"The big thing is done!" Other academic and political supporters who support impeachment do not have this kind of demeanor.

Someone couldn't help but celebrating while slapped and shouted, "Okay!" "It's so satisfying!" "That's great!"

The academic and political affairs of the management and management sector were quite dissatisfied, but they were dejected and could not say anything.

Compared with Hou Fangxiong and others' indignation, Xu Zizhuang, Shi Tingjian and others' faces were even more complicated. Although they were dissatisfied with Chen Dong, they really never thought that they could defeat him in this moment, causing the snipe and clam to fight, and the fisherman would benefit. Some people were still disbelief, some people looked at this scene with dumbfoundedness, while a few people looked at Chen Dong and several Lords of Shangshu in fear. In recent years, Chen Dong's accumulated power has made everyone afraid of him. Compared with the bloody dynasty and changing dynasties, this impeachment seems a bit negligent. Will the Prime Minister honestly accept the failure? Or is this just the beginning of a fierce party struggle? A layer of haze has risen in more and more people's hearts.

As if seeing the doubts of everyone, Deng Suwen said, "Prime Minister, is there any doubts about this result?"

Everyone's fearful and suspicious eyes fell on Chen Dong.

Chen Dong raised his head, looked at Deng Su, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "The Prime Minister is a servant of all the people in the world. The so-called "being willing to do whatever he wants, and he advances with public opinion recommendations. The so-called "retreat" and retreats bravely, and he retreats with public opinion impeachment. The first two major events fell on me, and Chen was lucky enough to do so. Very good, very good." He said three "very good" in a row and nodded, "Since the roll call decision is in line with the law of great etiquette, I have no doubts."

A big rock fell to the ground in many people's hearts, and the eyes of Chen Dong looked at him were very different from those just now.

Suspicion turned into respect. At this moment, even the person who hated Chen Dong the most no longer doubted that he was usurping the rebellion. Lu Yunsun's eyes also had a little regret. Chen Dong leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking. Although the impeachment had been completed, he was not convenient to leave immediately, and he seemed to close his eyes and rest. Some people used to think that Chen Dong was not right around, but at this moment he saw him sitting there like an outsider, but he felt nervous, and even recalled the ridiculous words he had despised: "The Song Dynasty cannot be without Chen's prime minister for a day."

All the students and government officials had their own thoughts, and the discussion hall became quiet for a moment.

"Everyone," said Cui Zhao, a scholar in Zhangzhou, suddenly coughed and said, "Although the impeachment has passed, the court needs to take charge of the overall situation, Cui thought that the new prime minister should be elected quickly." Seeing the Minister of Rites, Deng Su seemed to be as heavy as water, and did not accept his words, the other scholars praised loudly: "It's the extreme, it's the extreme!" "The position of prime minister should not be sank for a day, otherwise the country will easily cause changes." Hou Fangxiong and others were concerned about Chen Dong's presence and did not propose new candidates, while other scholars were not polite, and they proposed seven or eight candidates at once. Some people also proposed Zhao Xingde, but Zhao Xingde was awarded the titles and salaries of both countries and was denied by Zhao Xingde, which was not easy to come back in southern Xinjiang.

After the discussions among the academic and political leaders, the proposers concentrated on the four people, Lu Yunsun, Wu Zilong, Deng Su, and Cao Liangshi.

............

On June day, the dungeons in Bianliang are still invasive.

Before the Liao army withdrew, the whole city set fires. The fire burned for more than ten days, and almost all the houses in the city were burned down. However, most of the prison cells were well preserved. After the Song army recovered Bianliang, the prison cells were also one of the first yamen to be repaired. Before the Liao army invaded the south, the prison was always crowded, so that the prisoners had to be interrogated before summer to avoid the prisoners being piled up in the prison. Even so, there were still prisoners who died of heat every summer. After the Liao army retreated, no ten people in Bianliang were left, and the prison cells were abundant. Therefore, each of the captured ministers released to the north successively had a separate prison cell.

In front of Qin Hui, there was a pottery dish and a wooden bowl. The pottery dish was filled with salt water and boiled broad beans, and a few oil residue appeared. The moldy cooked cakes in the wooden bowl were eating the only supper of the day. The walls of the prison were Xiao Ran, with nothing but straw, and the stone walls were mottled and filled with an indescribable stench. However, after a long time in it, I gradually couldn't smell the stench, which did not affect people's food at all. Qin Hui sat on the pile of straw, and he still chewed slowly and ate very carefully.

"Is this?..." He suddenly looked around and asked hesitantly, "Wine?"

"The villain is dedicated to honoring the master." Xu Bantuo's eyes flashed, and he took out a wine pot and a cup from behind. "The rules in the prison are strict, and it is not the villain who has the final say. These days, if Lord Qin is wronged, he must forgive him if he is wronged." He carefully filled a glass of wine, pushed it to Qin Hui, and then took out a paper bag soaked in oil from his arms. Turning it out, it turned out to be a whole roast chicken. Qin Hui experienced the wind and frost of the north, and lived in the prison cell for several months. Even though he had used to delicacies in the mountains and seas, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this roast chicken, but his eyes became more cautious, put down the bamboo chopsticks, and asked, "Xu Bantuo, what do you mean?"

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin, maybe you will be able to go south soon."

Xu Bantou pretended to be gentle and bowed to the Tao. The clerks in the public ranks were the most sensible. When the Ministry of Justice ordered the captured ministers who came back to the south to be imprisoned, Xu Bantou carefully found out the origin of everyone. Now a new generation has replaced the old ones. The position of Qin Congzheng is not worth mentioning. What's amazing is that his disciple Deng Su is still the current Minister of Rites. Therefore, Xu Bantou was cautious from the beginning. Although he did not dare to take care of Qin Hui, he did not want to offend him for no reason. What if this person turned over and took revenge on a small prisoner, wouldn't it be like crushing an ant to death?

Qin Hui knew his thoughts very well, so he followed the situation and asked, "Why are you happy?"

Xu Bantou made a gesture and looked around, and there was not even a ghost. Then he said carefully: "My lord doesn't know anything. The little man also heard the news that he had just found out. The academic and political officials in the south jointly impeached and forced Mr. Chen to leave. Now, the academic and political officials in various places have proposed four people to compete for the position of the prime minister, Lord Deng Sudeng, Lord Lu Yunsun Lu, Lord Wu Zilong and Lord Cao." Although there was no one else, when talking about historian Cao Liang, Xu Bantou still dared not call him directly, and his face became more cautious. He lowered his voice, "I heard that Mr. Deng has the greatest hope of taking over the position of the prime minister," he glanced at Qin Hui's face, "My grandson Qin is Lord Deng's mentor, who will be his teacher and will be his father for life. In the future, Lord Deng will be the prime minister. How can you see you being imprisoned?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Hui with hope, as if he was holding a pig's head to offer the gods, looking forward to the gods making a wish. Even if he said something casually, mortals would not benefit from it. However, what disappointed him was that Qin Hui just ate meat silently, not holding up the wine pot and drinking it himself, and ignored Xu Bantou. Xu Bantou was full of companionship and did not dare to disturb the adults. It was not until Qin Hui had enough food and drink and wiped his mouth that he realized that Xu Bantou was still looking at him expectantly.

"Old Xu," Qin Hui said lightly, "this meal of wine is Qin's broken head."

"Ah?" Xu Bantou was shocked, "No, you are Lord Deng's mentor...How could that happen?" Qin Hui closed his eyes and ignored him. Xu Bantou was shocked and angry, but he did not dare to have an attack, so he could only pack up the dishes and secretly leave the cell.

Five days later, the Ministry of Justice sent a document to pass on 600 miles. Former Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu, the chief minister Qin Hui, the secret capital received the orders of Hong Jun, the young Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture Yu Mingshan and other eleven people, both lost their integrity and attacked Yan for the enemy. As for the defiance of the country and the false, they returned to the south to the Liao Kingdom and committed detailed work. All the traitors committed the crime of unparalleled crimes, and ordered the remaining ministers of Bianliang to be executed, and immediately executed, and sent their heads to Ezhou. Zhao Zhifu, Qin Hui and other ministers who returned to the north were detained in the Bianliang prison. This time, they were considered to have a real murder.
