CHAPTER XLIII
The atmosphere in the palace has been a bit oppressive lately. The reason is naturally because the emperor is in a bad mood. The emperor is usually in a good mood, but this time the mood is very obviously irritable!
Doesn't he have a beautiful woman when he โกโก up? The system of choosing a concubine by the Son of Heaven must only be selected once every five years, five years! Could it be that these crooked melons and cracked dates can only grow in five years?
Emperor Zhao Yong looked at the portraits in front of him. Generally speaking, many women will bribe the painter in order to make the painter more beautiful, so that the painting handed in by the guide is much more beautiful than herself.
Zhao Yong casually ordered a few that could barely be seen, but when he saw the real person, his tears were about to fall.
These few, just those big and small eyes, thick arms, bucket waist, elephant legs, how can they have all kinds of problems? Could it be that he, the emperor, did not do well? Didn't Heaven see that he was working very hard every day? Choose a concubine! When adding fresh blood to the harem, can he only watch these people spend the next five years? Zhao Yong was almost on his knees, what did he do wrong to make God punish him like this?
Because of such a thing, the entire palace was full of anger, and Zhao Yong had no thoughts. Even his own son said that he had something important to come to see him, but he turned him away.
After two days of rest, Zhao Yong became more and more bored. There is no beauty around him to spend the night, and his favorite son has always said that he is in a bad mood and doesn't come to see him recently, and there is a daughter like a beauty, who doesn't like to take care of him very much recently, and he feels that life is boring.
Zhao Yong has only two sons and one daughter. He likes his eldest son and daughter, not because of anything else, but because of their beauty. The eldest son is more beautiful than all the girls in the draft, but it's a pity that he is a boy, but for the emperor who looks at his face, this is enough. As for the second son, everyone said that he was talented, personable, handsome and chic. Whenever he heard someone say this, Zhao Yong was very unhappy, because one day when his second son was fourteen years old, he suddenly found that this son was likely to be more handsome than him when he grew up, and he began to snub his second son. How dare you look more handsome than your father? How much do you want to live?
In fact, no matter how Zhao Yong looks at it, he is a handsome uncle. A pair of slender eyes are blazing, and the tall nose bridge is slightly hooked, looking wise and powerful, so at first glance it always gives people the illusion that this is a Ming Jun. That's right, delusion!
He is Mingjun, and only he is convinced.
Zhao Yong sat on his bed boredly, waiting for the beautiful palace maid to feed grapes to his mouth, when he heard Li Huan come up to report, saying that someone came to sue the emperor today, and he had already overcome all the difficulties, and he was a person who was favored by God, so the emperor had to see her in person.
This is also the rule set by the emperor. So even if Zhao Yong was unwilling, he had to go to the Criminal Department in person to see who this person who could accept the punishment of fifty flogs and roll over a long nail board was.
Zhao Yong is really lacking in interest, such a capable person must be a big man with three big and five thick, it is very likely that the muscles are very developed, or he is very fat and greasy, and his skin is dark, no matter how he thinks about it, he is a reckless man in the countryside.
Forget it, anyway, it's going to be a cutscene, and when the time comes, just send people away.
Luo Jingcheng, who was thought of as a reckless man, was sitting upright in the lobby of the Criminal Department at the moment, thousands of sweaty and bloody horses were rushing through in her heart, and she was still thinking about what rhetoric to use to persuade the emperor at that time. You must know that although she believes in her eloquence very much, it is all because she has not met anyone who is really powerful.
If you meet someone really powerful, you may be defeated immediately.
Don't be afraid, Luo Jingcheng, you even dare to chase a demon like Li Yuyu, what else do you dare not do? You have to retreat for such a simple matter, what qualifications do you have to chase Li Yuyu?
Thinking of Li Yuyu, Luo Jingcheng suddenly felt that the flowers in her heart were blooming, and she seemed to be really not afraid of anything.
"The emperor has arrived." Li Huan's shrill voice came, and Luo Jingcheng finally fixed his eyes on the man who shouldn't have had any intersection.
Looks ...... Except for being a little older than Zhao Zhuoyang, a little more mature, a little more bearded, and a little sharper in his eyes, there seems to be no other gap. Zhao Zhuoyang really looks like the emperor.
Luo Jingcheng was still sighing, and was pulled by Zhao Zhuoyang to kneel down. Luo Jingcheng was just the first time he saw the emperor's true face, so he was excited and knelt down. Nima, that's the emperor, a legendary character, she actually saw it alive!
Zhao Yong went to the top chair, his eyes didn't bother to open, and he motioned for Li Huan to play himself.
Li Huan is Zhao Yong's right-hand man, who has been in the palace for 30 years, and has been loyal to Zhao Yong, so he is naturally very able to guess Zhao Yong's thoughts.
Li Huan didn't have the idea to look below, but just looked at people with nostrils and asked, "Who has grievances?" โ
Zhao Zhuoyang stood up and knelt down in front of Zhao Yong and saluted again: "Sons and daughters see their father, long live their father, long live long live their father." โ
Zhao Yong was stunned, could it be that this is his son who was separated from the people, because he had never seen his biological father, and when he was an adult, he finally heard about his father from his mother or relatives around him, so he came to beat the drum and voice his grievances in order to find his father? The spirit of being punished with fifty lashes in order to find his father was so touching that he decided that he would accept the illegitimate son no matter what he looked like.
Only then did Zhao Yong open his eyes and look at the kneeling child in front of him, well, why does he look so much like the second child?
Of course, Li Huan was not as complicated as Zhao Yong thought, but looked at the second prince with complicated eyes, and then knelt down and said: "The second prince forgives the sin, the old slave didn't see that the second prince was here." Dare to ask the second prince what grievances he has? โ
Zhao Yong: "......" turned out to be really the second child!
Zhao Zhuoyang knew that Li Huan was his father's confidant, so naturally he would not really embarrass him because he knelt down, on the contrary, if he really embarrassed Li Huan because of this matter, Li Huan would have more opportunities to retaliate against him in the future. After all, Li Huan is currently the closest person to his father.
"Father-in-law Li, please get up. It's not me who has a grievance, it's my friend. It was also mentioned to my father that Luo Jia Luo Jingcheng. โ
Luo Jing Orange? Zhao Yong's mind turned around a few times, and he seemed to have heard of this person. Oh yes, his second son fell in love with a woman from a merchant family and said that he wanted to marry back. The Shangjia family, with that status, even if it is a son he doesn't like, they can't afford it. Zhao Yong sneered in his heart, and the words he said were also cold: "Really? Why don't I remember you talking about it? โ
Zhao Zhuoyang was choked by Zhao Yong's words. He is the emperor, and he can do such things as referring to deer as horses, not to mention what he once said? He remembered that his father had no objection at that time, and now it seems that ...... Zhao Zhuoyang glanced at Luo Jingcheng with a pale face, and clenched his fists tightly.
"The people's daughter Luo Jingcheng," Luo Jingcheng stood up at the right time, bowed down and said: "It is the people's daughter who wants to be tried and avenged, and ask the emperor to make the decision for the people's daughter." โ
As soon as Zhao Yong heard the voice, his body was half crisp first. The sound is clear and beautiful, like the gurgling water on the mountain, and it can flow directly into people's hearts.
As if giving alms, Zhao Yong finally raised his eyes and glanced at the woman in front of him, and then he couldn't take his eyes off.
What is Stunning Color? That's stunning!
Zhao Yong has seen countless beauties, some are enchanting, some are pure, some are quiet and beautiful, and some are lively. But for the first time, he felt that some of these contradictions were concentrated on the woman in front of him.
She is really as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, and her big eyes can hook her soul. Ah, if those in the draft are half as beautiful as Luo Jingcheng, will he still be in a low mood for so long? Such a woman should be in his pocket!
What the? The son said he was going to marry him? He had already denied his son's statement just now, as long as he helped this girl a little, so that this little girl would be grateful to him, and he was worried that she would not promise him?
Zhao Yong has already made up his mind to help the little girl in front of him. First of all, let the little girl completely let down her guard against herself.
"Luo Jingcheng, what grievances do you have?" As soon as Zhao Yong opened his mouth, he found that his tone was a little wrong. Why does it sound so much like a bad uncle who wants to bully little Lori? It's like asking, "Little sister, do you want to eat candy?"
"Back to the emperor, my father Luo Qingshan was framed for not paying taxes and has not been released. I have been lonely since I was a child, and I only have such a dependent father, so I have to save my father no matter what, even if I have to pay for one life. Emperor Shengming, you are the first emperor of the ages, I know that you will definitely seek justice for the people's daughter. โ
Luo Jingcheng said as she tried to squeeze out her tears. The image of a desperate woman is very profound, and she herself is about to cheer for herself. And during the period, he did not forget to praise the emperor. You know, the emperor just likes to hear people praise him, and he enjoys it very much when he itches so directly. What's more, the tears of this beauty in front of her are not falling, and the transparent tears are swirling in her eyes, and the whole look of pity makes Zhao Yong's heart soften even more.
"Oh? Who is so bold to arrest people without finding out clearly? Zhao Yong immediately put on a wise and martial Ming Jun look, his eyes were very godly, very convincing, very much like the real Ming Jun.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter, the people's daughter dare not say it." Luo Jingcheng lowered his head, and his submissive appearance simply aroused the man's desire to protect. Who dares to make her like this, she just doesn't want to live!
"Say! In front of me, there is nothing that cannot be said! Zhao Yong has already made up his mind to perform a good emperor of a sage, and he is getting more and more into the play.
"This ......" Luo Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, bit his lip lightly, and finally said the person's name: "It's the eldest prince, Zhao Zhuowen." โ
