Gao Zixin was very unhappy, just now, he saw He Kun and got a message from He Kun's mouth.

The little emerald hairpin that his mother lost back then was found in the jewelry box of the Zhou family's daughter! That female dependent is none other than Zhou Lixian's mother!

Gao Zixin knew why Zhou Lixian was so bold.

It was clearly taught badly by her audacious mother!

Like He Kun, he also clearly remembered He's fulcrum emerald hairpin, because He liked it very much at the beginning, and he lost it for a long time when he lost it.

At that time, he saw that He was sad and sad alone, and he was almost so angry that he thoroughly investigated the entire harem, but the harem naturally failed to investigate thoroughly, but he was beaten severely by He.

The shame and pain of being spanked on He's knee is still fresh in his memory!

As a result, the culprit who caused him to be spanked in the first place turned out to be the Zhou family!

Gao Zixin's stomach was full of fire, and he was even so angry that he wanted to directly issue a holy decree to arrest all the people in the Zhou family. But he is still sane, and he is angry, so he didn't really do it.

Subsequently, he personally took this fulcrum emerald hairpin to meet He's.

When He Shi saw the hairpin, she was surprised at first, and after hearing that this thing was found from the jewelry box of the Zhou family's daughter, her expression became complicated.

She even looked away, unwilling to look at the hairpin in the box any more, and only said coyly: "At the beginning, the palace was complicated, and the mourning family was also trembling, for fear of being caught in the slightest mistake, but it fueled the arrogance of those people, and they all wanted to bully the mourning family." ”

Gao Zixin thought back to those sad pasts, felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't be sad after the queen mother, those things have passed, and the child promises that you will definitely be comfortable in the future." Whoever dares to make you unhappy will have her head cut off! ”

He Shi listened, and at first felt happy, but the more Gao Zixin spoke, the more unkind she became, she couldn't help glaring at Gao Zixin, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the emperor and the Son of Heaven, you should lead by example, how can you be willful? If you really dare to do this, the mourning family will not be the first to spare you! ”

Gao Zixin instinctively remembered the experience of being spanked many years ago, and was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, and only sighed after a while: "Emperor, you remember, you must be a good emperor, don't follow your father's example." You are the Son of Heaven, and you enjoy the support of the people, so you have to make decisions for them, so that they can live a good life, you know? ”

Gao Zixin nodded honestly: "Queen Mother, the child remembers." ”

As a result, as soon as the words fell, He Shi feigned anger again: "Remember, you are the emperor, you have to be like the emperor, what do you look like when you cower?" ”

Gao Zixin immediately straightened his back, and said solemnly: "I understand." ”

Only then did He let him go: "Okay, the mourning family won't trouble you anymore, now that the Zhou family has become like this, then Zhou Lixian, how do you plan to arrange it?" ”

Gao Zixin then remembered that he hadn't taken the white lotus halo on Zhou Lixian's body yet!

Thinking of 001 who has been getting fatter and fatter recently, Gao Zixin's face suddenly changed: "Don't worry, I have already arranged this matter." ”

He nodded: "It's good that you have an arrangement, but before you dispose of her, it's best to meet the Auxiliary Guogong, after all, he has been a horse all his life and has made great achievements, you always have to give him some face, and you can't chill the heart of the hero." ”

"I understand." Gao Zixin left these three words and hurriedly left Cining Palace.

He thought that he should indeed meet Zhou Rong, the Duke of Fuguo.

However, without waiting for him to be called, Zhou Rong himself handed over a sign and asked to see him.

Gao Zixin hesitated for a moment, and then ordered someone to pass him on to meet him.

When Zhou Rong came in, Gao Zixin was very surprised.

For several days, Zhou Rong has been saying that he is sick and has not been to the court, so after all, Gao Zixin has not seen him for several days. It's just that what Gao Zixin didn't expect was that although Zhou Rong was old, he could also be called old and strong, and he had been energetic when he was not sick, but when he saw him again today, he found that this person's face was sallow, and he was already in a state of running out of oil and dying.

Gao Zixin thought of He's words, and his mood couldn't help but become heavy.

He also didn't want to treat the heroes harshly and chill them, but how could he not be chilled by the many crimes committed by the Zhou family? If he doesn't deal with them, won't he make the people of the world feel cold?

With a deep sigh in his heart, Gao Zixin looked at Zhou Rong expressionlessly after completing the big salute, and then said, "Flat, sit down." ”

When Zhou Rong heard this, his thin fingers suddenly clenched together, only to feel that an old face had already lost face.

With his identity as a veteran of the three dynasties, Gao Zixin didn't give him any face, and insisted that he finish kneeling and bowing!

It's just that thinking of the current situation of the Zhou family, he didn't even dare to get angry, but he had to stay and continue to look at Gao Zixin's face, and even threw down his old face, begging him to let the Zhou family go!

The more Zhou Rong thought about it, the more angry he felt in his heart, the evening scene was bleak, however, just when he was about to stand up, he tried several times without success, and his face was even redder, ashamed and angry!

I think how high-spirited he used to be, but now it has become difficult to even get up.

Gao Zixin couldn't stand it anymore, and simply said, "Why don't you help the old man up?" ”

So soon, a eunuch walked quickly to Zhou Rong's side, held his arm and helped him up. Zhou Rong kept his face tense, and when he got up, he immediately waved away the eunuch and walked to the chair and sat down.

The eunuch didn't dare to complain when he was waved away, so he could only silently return to his original position.

Gao Zixin saw it in his eyes, his eyes were cold, and his previous softness suddenly disappeared: "Zhou Qing is in poor health, do you need Imperial Doctor Xuan to come?" ”

Zhou Rong's face trembled, and he simply refused: "This is a heart disease, and the imperial doctor is afraid that it will not be cured, so he will not bother the imperial doctor to go on a trip." Speaking of this, his eyelids lifted, and his cloudy eyes looked straight at Gao Zixin, "The minister has something important to play, can His Majesty hold back left and right?" ”

Gao Zixin sneered in his heart and retreated? Why? Who does Zhou Rong think he is? The Zhou family has become like this, Zhou Rong actually dares to rely on the old and sell the old in front of him!

Gao Zixin unceremoniously rejected his request: "I can trust them, Zhou Qing doesn't need to worry about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the palace people present were overjoyed. The emperor's "trustworthy" made them more happy than any reward.

Zhou Rong's heart sank completely, and he understood that Gao Zixin didn't plan to cover it up for him.

A strong indignation arose in his heart, but in the end, it turned into deep helplessness.

Now that this is the case, what can he do? The so-called "the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", Gao Zixin is determined to deal with him, what else can he do but accept it?

It's just that when he thought of the old and young of the family, as well as those clansmen, he still opened his mouth: "Dare to ask Your Majesty how you want to deal with the Zhou family?" ”

Gao Zixin didn't answer, he glanced at Zhou Rong deeply, and then asked, "Zhou Qing thinks that with those things committed by the Zhou family, how should I deal with them?" ”

He kicked the ball back unceremoniously.

Zhou Rong was silent for a moment, he looked at Gao Zixin, and suddenly felt like a world away. It's still that immature face, but why? But in just a few days, this yellow-mouthed child has become so difficult?

He looked at Gao Zixin's still immature face, and was in a trance for a while, and suddenly remembered another face that was somewhat similar to this face.

That man was already quite a city when he was young, even unfathomable, and if he hadn't suddenly become confused for some reason, their courtiers would have had a hard time.

Who knows, after that man's death, his son has grown to such a point in a short period of time!

Zhou Rong was shocked, but after the shock, he was more concerned about the fate of the Zhou family.

He hesitated for a long time, suddenly got up, and knelt down in front of Gao Zixin again: "The minister is willing to take the initiative to return the title of Duke of Fuguo, and I implore Your Majesty to spare the lives of everyone in the Zhou family!" ”

Gao Zixin stood up suddenly, but instead of being shocked or delighted by Zhou Rong's words, he felt extremely angry. He glared at Zhou Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth word by word and said, "Zhou Qing doesn't think that with those things committed by the Zhou family, he can still keep the title of Duke of Fuguo?" Or do you think that a single title can make all the qiē write-off? Today, you kneel here and beg for me, why didn't you restrain your family in the past? Instead, they are doing what they want? Go back, I have made up my mind, and this case will be dealt with strictly! ”

"Majesty!" Zhou Rong looked up at Gao Zixin, old tears crisscrossed his sallow face, "Your Majesty, can't you look at the minister's face and leave a way back for the Zhou family?" ”

Gao Zixin's face was very ugly, and he endured it before saying, "Why should Zhou Qing be like this? Could it be that you think that you really deliberately want to cut off the back road of the Zhou family? According to the law, if the sin does not lead to death, how can I kill them all? ”

When Zhou Rong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Immediately, he kowtowed heavily on the ground and said in a deep voice, "The minister understands." ”

It's just that when he left, his already drooping old body was even more rickety, even if he tried his best to straighten his back, he still had a weak heart.

Gao Zixin saw his appearance, and suddenly felt a little worried that he would choke his breath halfway through, so he simply ordered someone to carry him to the palace gate in a soft sedan chair.

Otherwise, if Zhou Rong died in the palace at this juncture, he would not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

Huanxi knew Gao Zixin's worries, and personally sent him on a trip to make sure that Zhou Rong was in the Zhou family's carriage intact, and then he came back to recover with confidence.

Gao Zixin breathed a sigh of relief, and then he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Zhou Rong what to do with Zhou Lixian!
