Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop Lu Sigong and Gu Mosheng from continuing to argue.
He said to Wei Zhen and Xue Cui: "Your trial will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai and Dali Temple for a joint trial.
You will eventually be judged.
How to make a decision?
The decision will be made after a joint trial by the three judges.
Decide, but you have one thing I can tell you.
Regardless of whether the nine tribes will be annihilated or not, your relatives within the nine tribes will not have a good life, because the families of the Chang'an people who were killed by the rebels are looking for If people seek revenge, they will not be let go.”
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, the expressions of Wei Zhen and Xue Cui changed drastically.
They had already made eye contact with Wang Hong and the people from the Prince's party when they came in.
It was up to them to bear the blame.
Wang Hong would be outside. take care of their family Relatives, but they did not expect the consequences of taking the blame.
Because of their reasons, the Lingwu Army rebelled, and the Lingwu Army entered the city and caused countless Chang'an people to be massacred.
The relatives and friends of these people could not find the murderer to take revenge.
Snow hate.
Xue Cui couldn't accept this reality at first.
He shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to retract my confession.
I want to retract my confession!
The idea of providing the Lingwu Army with sand and rotten rice was not ours.
We are just the executors.
The real people are The one we did this is Wang Hong, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, it’s Wang Hong.”
The ministers of the imperial court had known what happened for a long time, so they were not surprised.
What surprised them was that Zhao Ziliang was so good at seizing people's weaknesses.
How could Xue Cui remain calm when he heard that all his family members from the nine tribes would be sought for revenge?
Hearing that Xue Cui retracted his confession on the spot, Prince Li Shi couldn't help but close his eyes.
He could foresee that Wang Hong would not be able to escape this disaster.
It’s just that he doesn’t know why Wang Hong did this.
You must know that there is no benefit at all from doing such a stupid thing.
Even if all the food and grass for five thousand people for two days are stolen, it won’t be worth much.
This Wang Hong’s brain What on earth is Li thinking?
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Zhen: "Wei Zhen, is what Xue Cui said true?"
Wei Zhen's lips moved.
Xue Cui became anxious and said angrily: "Wei Zhen, I'm going to wipe out your ancestors.
I don't want all the relatives of the nine tribes to be torn into pieces by the people outside.
Do you want your relatives of the nine tribes to be torn into pieces by the people outside?"
We can't afford to bear the blame for you being buried with you.
Please tell me quickly."
Wei Zhen sighed, nodded dejectedly and said: "Yes, we are just the executors of this matter.
Your Majesty and all the adults, please think about it.
We are in humble positions, so how can we have the courage to adulterate the food of the counter-rebellion army?"
If it weren’t for Wang Hong’s instigation, we would never have dared to do this.”
This was a critical moment.
How could Wang Hong be willing to just let him go without any help?
He said angrily: "You two are talking nonsense.
It is simply a false accusation.
When did I do this to you?

How important is it to instruct the counter-rebellion army?
How can I do it?"
How can you be mentally retarded enough to let you two do such stupid things?"
After saying that, Wang Hong cupped his fists towards Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, I admit that I am indeed not the material to be the governor of Jingzhao, but I will never do such unscrupulous things, and I will make a decision just based on the words of the two of them."
The lower officials will not accept the crime of the official."
"That's true."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Wei Zhen and Xue Cui, and asked, "You said Wang Hong instigated you two to do this, then why did he let you do this?"
Wei Zhen said: "I know about this.
In the early years, Wang Hong had an enmity with Yao Zhitong, the prefect of Lingwu.
Wang Hong hated Yao Zhitong deeply, but he never had a chance to retaliate.
That time when Yao Zhitong led his troops through Chang'an, Wang Hong was killed.
Hatred blinded our minds.
He found us and ordered us to mix sand and rotten rice into the food of the Lingwu Army.
At first, I didn’t know what Wang Hong’s purpose was, but he is our superior.
We cannot He had to follow his orders, and after the soldiers of the Lingwu Army ate food mixed with sand and rotten rice, he sent people to incite the soldiers to cause trouble in the Lingwu Army, and the Lingwu Army lost control.
As for the development of a rebellion, when the Lingwu Army entered Chang'an City, Xue Cui and I found out that his purpose was to force Yao Zhitong to rebel.
Facts have proved that Yao Zhitong was indeed coerced by the rebels and betrayed the imperial court."
All the ministers in the court couldn't help but gasped after hearing these words.
Wang Hong was so cruel.
He actually laid out such a plan for his personal vendetta to force the other party to rebel against the court after being coerced by the rebels.
This caused the other party to be ruined and infamy for thousands of years.
Prince Li Shi looked at Wang Hong with fear.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Hong and said: "Wei Zhen, what you said is very telling, but it is just one side of your words.
What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true and credible?"
After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, the ministers could not help but admire him.
At this time, he did not add insult to injury and handled the case with a fair attitude.
Not all high-ranking people could maintain such rationality, at least seriously.
Compared with Zhao Ziliang, Zong Hedaizong was far behind, and even Xuanzong in his later years was quite inferior.
Wei Zhen said: "Wang Hong had a master named Liu Daoqian, who was involved in everything.
When Wang Hong ordered the two of us to mix sand and sour rice into the food of the Lingwu Army, Liu Daoqian was present.
In Lingwu Army, Liu Daoqian was present.
Wu Junzhong The person who instigated the soldiers to cause trouble was Liu Daoqian who he found among Wang Hong's former soldiers.
As long as Liu Daoqian is caught and interrogated, it will become clear that this person should still be in Chang'an, either in Jingzhao Mansion or Wang Hong's home."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Where is the general in front of the palace?"
"I am here" "I order you to quickly lead the troops to arrest Wang Hong's master Liu Daoqian without any mistakes."
"Take orders" Zhao Ziliang looked at the sky and asked the eunuch next to him: "What time is it?"
The eunuch turned to look at the hourglass and said, "It's already noon."
Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "Today's court meeting will only continue in the afternoon.
It seems that we have to have lunch in the Xuanzheng Hall.
After lunch, we will continue.
Come, prepare meals for all the adults in the side hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Wang Hong was taken alone by two soldiers to guard him.
The other ministers followed Zhao Ziliang to the side hall to wait for lunch.
The ministers were sitting in the side hall of Xuanzheng Hall, drinking tea and chatting, while waiting for lunch to be delivered.
Li Qijun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up.

The ministers who were talking stopped and looked at him.
Li Qiyun cupped his hands at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion.
After all, the Xuanzheng Hall is the palace where the emperor used to receive ministers, and it is also the central building of the Daming Palace.
It would be too troublesome for ministers and others to have meals here every time they meet.
The same goes for the imperial kitchen in the palace. one This is a burden.
After all, the imperial dining room is the emperor's kitchen.
It would be over the limit to allow the imperial dining room to prepare meals for ministers.
I suggest that the venue of court meetings in the future be set in the Tai Chi Palace.
Tai Chi Palace is the main palace of my court and is generally not used on weekdays.
It is used for state affairs.
It is most suitable to place it in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace.
In this way, the Xuanzheng Hall can be freed up, and the entire Daming Palace can be left for the emperor to move freely.
After all, there is a lot of movement in each court meeting, and it is not good to disturb the emperor's rest."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Your suggestion is indeed quite constructive.
Sirs, what do you think of Mr.
Li's suggestion?"
After hearing this, many ministers thought it was good and stood up to express their agreement.
Zhao Ziliang said: "In that case, let's set the venue of the court meeting in Tai Chi Hall from next time, and invite a few apprentices from the imperial kitchen to come over and cook for the adults.
For lunch, we don’t dare to ask the chef in the imperial dining room to make lunch for us, but the apprentices can do it.”
All the ministers smiled and said yes.
Facts have proved that people are lazy.
If the people at the top are lazy, the people below will naturally become lazy.
If the people at the top are diligent, officials and ministers will be spurred.
This is what the saying goes.
Moreover, the behavior of the superior will also greatly affect the attitude and efficiency of the courtiers.
Both Suzong and Daizong were emperors with soft ears.
In his later years, Xuanzong also had soft ears and was easily influenced by his close ministers.
But Zhao Ziliang is obviously not such a person.
He is a strong, resolute and serious person. , the memory is also super Well, it is impossible for the officials below to fool him.
In just over a month, the court ministers have become somewhat familiar with Zhao Ziliang's political management style.
This has forced many ministers to rein in their lazy and muddle-headed temperament, lest they be punished.
Zhao Ziliang left a bad impression.
In the afternoon, the meeting continued.
The general who led troops to arrest Wang Hong's master Liu Daoqian arrived in time and caught Liu Daoqian who was about to escape.
At that time, Liu Daoqian was in a hurry to pack his bags.
Perhaps he sensed danger, but he did not run away.
"The villain Liu Daoqian pays homage to the king."
The middle-aged scribe with a wretched look bowed tremblingly to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Are you Liu Daoqian?"
"Yes, the villain is Liu Daoqian" Zhao Ziliang asked: "Wang Hong asked Wei Zhen and Xue Cui to put sand and rotten rice in the meals of the Lingwu Army, and then sent people to incite the soldiers to cause trouble in the Lingwu Army.
Was it your idea or Wang Hong's own idea?"
"This" Liu Daoqian was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the truth or a lie.
Censor Gu Mosheng warned: "Liu Daoqian, you'd better think clearly before answering.
You are just a master, not the mastermind of this case.
If you tell lies instead of telling the truth and deceive the king and all the adults in the court, This is a sin that a master cannot bear."

Liu Daoqian's eyes rolled wildly, and then he answered honestly: "In return to the king, this idea was thought up by the villain.
That day, Master Wang Hong told the villain that Lingwu Governor Yao Zhitong had a grudge against him, but he has been unable to do so.
Revenge has been a matter of many years, and it has always been like a thorn in his heart.
He said that Yao Zhitong would soon lead his troops through Changchun.
An went to Xiangyang to quell the rebellion.
The imperial court had assigned him the task of quelling the rebellion.
If Yao Zhitong was successful in quelling the rebellion, his official rank would probably surpass him, and it would be difficult to seek revenge from him in the future.
He asked the villain if there was any way to help him.
He wanted to take revenge, and the villain gave him this idea.
Everything he said was true, and he would never dare to deceive the king and the adults
