Chapter 890: Battle of the Palace

What Zhao Huan said was not wrong. It should be noted that every decree in the court was carefully considered.

For example, the so-called treatment of symptoms and root causes are actually both issues of choice and have nothing to do with good or bad.

For example, if you want to block, you naturally have to face the risk of breaking the river bank at all times, but the losses are intermittent. A river bank can only be broken once every three or four years, and the losses can still be afforded. However, if you want to lose it, you need to have a place to store water, so you may have to migrate the population of several counties to other places and turn the land of several counties into a vast ocean.

When we mentioned the two methods of blocking and removing, everyone was actually weighing the trade-offs in their hearts. Although blocking is not the best method, the loss is not big after all. Not only does it cost tens of thousands of dollars, it also requires a large amount of land to recruit labor service and migrate the population. This situation is too big, and it may be to inspire civil rebellion.

Therefore, the decisions of the court were carefully implemented every time after the left and right weighed the pros and cons, because any decision would be good and bad, and any decision would be joyful and there would be some people worrying. For example, Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north. For the people in the border town, the court had to solve the problem of the Huns once and for all, of course it was too late to be happy. However, for the people in the pass, in order to solve the problem of the Huns, a large amount of land was used to waste the imperial court's money and food, a large amount of land was used to recruit corvee labor, and overdraw national strength to do such meaningless things, which would harm their interests.

Although it is a longing for all, it is not necessarily a good thing to be longed for by military force. The reason why Emperor Wu of Han was famous in history was not because he had the determination to attack the Huns, but because his decision to fight was never thought out with a slap in his head. However, after careful thinking and repeated deduction, he made up his mind after confirming that the national treasury was sufficient to support and the Han army had a great chance of victory. This was how the great cause was laid.

When he went to war, Emperor Yang of Sui was different. Emperor Yang of Sui relied on a temporary spirit to conquer Goryeo. He was furious because Goryeo refused to pay his respects. He fought for Goryeo three times, without considering whether the treasury could bear it or the military strength and geography of Goryeo. He attacked rashly and returned in a defeat. Therefore, the second and third times were all based on a temporary spirit. Although he finally won, the result was not worth the loss. The treasury was empty, which eventually became a decisive factor in the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, fighting is a good thing and a bad thing. When a war starts, there will be people who support it and oppose it, because there is no absolute in the world. Any decision will benefit and others suffer. The most important thing is that the decisions of the court need to be considered, repeated thinking, deduction, and even careful attempts to promote it.

Zhao Heng slapped his head and made the decision to sort out the river channel. In the eyes of the ministers, this was a bit like the legendary saying "Why don't eat meat" and it was a kind of idiot's stupid word.

Many people shook their heads secretly, but the civil and military officials were already disappointed with Zhao Heng, and no one was disappointed. Instead, many people were laughing at him.

Seeing that no one answered his words, Zhao Huan was angry and embarrassed, so he had to say, "I have to think about this matter again, but now it is still important to provide relief. Is there anything to report?"

The civil and military officials did not speak in a tacit understanding, and many of them looked at Shen Ao.

Chen Ao curled his lips, stood up slowly, and said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Heng dared not respond? He hurriedly said, "What's the matter with Chen Aiqing?"

Chen Ao said lightly: "When I supported the coffin of the late emperor into the city, Duke Rui led the imperial guards to block my way, saying that it was my king who planned to rebel and eliminated my king with the order. I want to ask, did Your Majesty issue this order?"

This sentence scared Zhao Heng very much. Now that he thought about it, the fact that he had made was a stone shooting himself in the foot. How could he admit it now? He hurriedly said, "Oh? Duke Ruiguo said he would kill the auxiliary government with the order? Humph, he was too bold and dared to falsely pass the imperial edict."

Chen Ao looked at him mockingly and said, "Your Majesty has never issued an order?"

"Things are absolutely nothing." Zhao Heng said authentically.

Chen Ao said, "Since that's the case, it's easy to deal with. Duke Rui faked his imperial edict and his crimes are not allowed to be punished. What does Your Majesty think?"

After all, Duke Rui was Zhao Heng's brother-in-law. Zhao Heng hesitated at this time and said, "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, and there are many masters of the regent, why bother with him?"

Chen Ao had already closed his eyes lazily, and at this time he seemed to be waiting for Zhao Heng's words. His eyes suddenly opened and became aggressive, saying, "Since your Majesty said it was a misunderstanding, this would be great. It is both a misunderstanding and the Duke of Rui has a great identity. So he would investigate the case today and find out the truth. If Duke of Rui had other intentions, he would have been torn apart. But if he really had a misunderstanding, I will never bother with this matter anymore. What does Your Majesty think?"

Zhao Heng was startled. If he had taken the trial seriously, he might have been able to find his imperial edict. He was immediately scared and said repeatedly: "This...this..."

Seeing this, Yang Zhen was willing to give Zhao Heng a step? He also came out of the class, fell to the ground, and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to investigate this case and give the Duke Rui a clear innocence."

Yang Zhen slapped his head, and all the civil and military officials in the court burst out, bowing down one after another: "Please investigate thoroughly by Your Majesty."

At this point, there was no room for Zhao Heng to refuse. Zhao Heng's face was blue and white. He thought for luck that Duke Rui was my confidant. Since he was the imperial inspector, he would naturally not punish a Duke. As long as he bit him to death, he would not have any room for recovery. Then he said, "Okay, I'm allowed to report. Come and take Duke Rui to the palace."

A hint of undetectable smile appeared on Chen Ao's face and said to Zhao Heng: "Since you are going to be tried and this matter involves me, then I beg Your Majesty to allow me to be the chief judge, how about it?"

Zhao Heng didn't know what Chen Ao wanted to make another idea, so he couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "It's okay for the Auxiliary King to be the chief judge, but then again, the Duke of Ruiguo and I have a relative of uncle, and the Auxiliary King must be the chief judge, so he should not be punished. How about it?"

There was nothing to do if Zhao Huan lowered his posture so low. At this time, Chen Ao was already covering the sky. Although he might not dare to kill the king directly, it would be better not to anger him. Chen Lengzi dared to do anything.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's great, but if you want to summon someone to come here, can you torture it?"

Zhao Heng thought to himself that only three people knew about this. Li Bangyan was dead. Naturally, I would never say it. As for Duke Rui, as long as no one was tortured, how could he be willing to call him?

Zhao Heng said, "Okay."

Chen Ao seemed to be worried and said, "So, has Your Majesty granted this king full power?"

Zhao Huan expressed kindness to Chen Ao: "Chen Aiqing is my Song Zhuguo, how could I not trust Chen Aiqing?"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "I have another unhappy request."

Zhao Heng said: "It's okay to say Chen Aiqing."

Chen Ao said: "This matter is of great importance. It involves Your Majesty, Duke Rui and I. I am afraid that I must ask the Empress Dowager to listen to him in person."

Chen Ao suddenly wanted to move the Empress Dowager, but Zhao Huan did not expect it. It was too late to refuse now, so he had to calmly brows and said, "Come on, please invite the Empress Dowager."

In fact, it was not just Zhao Huan, but the civil and military officials in the hall didn't know what the mysterious thing Chen Ao made. When he heard that the Auxiliary King was going to try the case, he felt it was novel and everyone was cheered up. He wanted to see what tricks this Auxiliary King could play today.

After a while, the dressed Empress Dowager, who was dressed in a phoenix chassis, arrived at the Martial Arts Hall. Chen Ao was much more respectful to her than Zhao Heng. Not only did he kneel down to greet him, but he also helped the Empress Dowager sit down on the side of the Golden Palace. The Empress Dowager ignored Zhao Huan and said to Chen Ao with a smile: "What? You have to call the Ai family when you try a case?"

Chen Ao said: "It's important to be important, and the Empress Dowager must sit down and watch."

When the Empress Dowager saw Chen Ao appearing to be of great importance, she nodded and said, "Okay, the Ai family knows."

In fact, the Empress Dowager was quite comfortable. Zhao Ji died and the princess was so cold to her, which made her feel so cold. Chen Ao was different. No matter what happened, he asked her again and again, and he was willing to ask her to come forward whenever he encountered something. This made the Empress Dowager feel a little better. Seeing this Chen Ao, she actually reminded her of Zhao Ji. Although she didn't cry, she felt a little sour in her heart, thinking: "If the prince of the Ai family is here, I'm afraid she will still be as filial as this Chen Ao."

Seeing Chen Ao and the Empress Dowager whispering something warmly, Zhao Heng felt a little angry, but he was helpless, and he wanted to look leisurely.

After a while, Duke Ruiguo was driven by someone. Last time, Chen Ao kicked him in the crotch and chopped his shoulder. He still hasn't he healed. He finally woke up early this morning. After taking the medicine, his injury improved a little. He was anxious about Zhao Huan's situation. If Zhao Huan fell, his eldest brother-in-law would be unable to protect his life. How could he not know this truth?

Then, someone came from the palace and asked him to go to the palace, saying that he wanted to be the imperial inspector. A good Duke suddenly became the target of the imperial inspector. Fang Dan was shocked and was scared to death, but he didn't dare not come, so he had to ask someone to enter the palace. He was so worried that he was afraid of the way. He thought about countless possibilities until he entered the martial arts palace that he realized that the matter was not so bad that it made him desperate.

Zhao Huan in the Golden Palace was still high and the emperor was still the emperor. Fang Dan realized this and finally felt relieved.
