Zhao Chongyi was killing, and suddenly the dagger was blocked, and the crisp sound of gold and iron made Zhao Chongyi sober up, and saw that the people blocking him were not those guards, but the angry old father, who had accumulated power for many years, so that Zhao Chongyi's instinctive hand softened, stopped, and shouted: "Father." ”

Lao Zhongyi snorted coldly and said, "Rebel, don't you put down the dagger?" ”

Lao Zhongyi is not only Zhao Chongyi's father, but also Zhao Chongyi's boss, after many years of accumulation, such a cold snort, Zhao Chongyi immediately put down the dagger with a reflex.

After putting down the dagger, those guards breathed a sigh of relief, and they also withdrew their weapons one after another, and the old loyal and righteous man said coldly: "You all retreat, today's matter, give a ban order, if there is a violation of military law, it will be dealt with." ”

The guards agreed and walked out quickly, and a few clever ones with sharp hands and feet took away the trembling maids and mothers-in-law in the room.

When everyone left, Mrs. Zhao immediately reluctant, and asked sharply: "Grandpa, this rebel wants to kill his mother, so you just forget it?" ”

Lao Zhongyigong frowned and said coldly: "Rebel, don't kneel down for your mother, where did you get used to cat urine and run to your mother's room to spread wild?" ”

As soon as she heard such an obvious partiality cover-up, Mrs. Zhao suddenly fell to the back of her anger: "Grandpa, is this drunk?" Do you smell the slightest smell of alcohol in him? You don't want to use drunkenness as an excuse to erase his mother-killing crime so lightly, right? I don't want to swallow this breath. What do the people of Houfu think of me? How will I discipline my child in the future? I tell you, I can't swallow this breath even if I die. Hum! ”

The old Zhongyi axiom was unreasonable, thinking in his heart, this matter still has to be turned into a big thing, a small matter, in the name of drunkenness, punish Zhao Chongyi. If it is investigated, not only Zhao Chongyi's future will be greatly affected, but even the face of the Zhongyi Mansion will be gone, not to mention that the Zhongyi Mansion is now being watched by everyone. There's a stir. Those imperial historians are waiting, don't let this affect the real Zhao family. As for Mrs. Zhao's disobedience, this is nothing, it's a big deal to wait until the matter is over. Promise her a few conditions. That's it. He'd always known that. Mrs. Zhao's mother's family has several nephews who want to mix up official positions, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to find a relationship to get one. It's really not good, so he can get it to the army, or get it to the military department, and it's decent, and he doesn't have to go to the battlefield, he still has this face. If it really can't be done anymore, he promised her to send out the few aunts in the backyard who she didn't like, anyway, he doesn't care much about women now. You can also go and create some heavy jewelry for her that she likes, and put more gems on it, those things can blind her eyes at once, and it is estimated that she will not have the strength to deal with Chongyi. Anyway, among the trophies he had gotten from the battlefield over the years, there were several clips of gems alone, all of them were large and beautiful gems, and these things were just stones for him, and it didn't matter if there were more or less. Just used to coax Mrs. Zhao. Therefore, Lao Zhongyi directly ignored Mrs. Zhao's protest, looked at Zhao Chongyi and said, "Why don't you kneel down quickly?" Admit your mistake to your mother, and after a while, I will ask the maid to pour you sobering soup, and when the wine wakes up tomorrow, I will punish you. ”

Mrs. Zhao saw that Zhongyi Gong wanted to characterize this matter, and asked the maid to make sobering soup, which was really a reversal of right and wrong, and she immediately reluctantly said: "Grandpa, you are so partial, I have nothing to say, I have been a commander for so many years, and I still know where the Yamen is going, I don't want my life, and I want to sue him for disobedience." ”

Lao Zhongyi's brows furrowed even tighter, but the hateful thing is that Zhao Chongyi has a little remorse at this time, is it possible that such a smart child doesn't know that he is making a reason to excuse him? Otherwise, if you want to kill your mother-in-law, this is a big crime that cannot be tolerated in the world, not to mention the Xiao Chen family, even the entire Chen family can't protect him.

At this time, Zhao Chongyi said coldly: "Are you worthy of being a fate?" The edict of the court is not something that can be sealed immediately after the husband becomes an official, and it also needs to be virtuous and virtuous, where are you virtuous and virtuous? ”

This is the truth, there are many officials in the imperial court, according to the rules and etiquette of the seven grades, to the fifth grade of the official's wife, you can ask for the lady, the fifth to the third grade of the official's wife can ask for the concubine, the third to the first grade of the big man can ask the lady, it is a decree. Mrs. Zhao is the Duchess of the Kingdom and the lady of the superb. Bai is a lady, because Chen Yuanheng is a second-grade official, so she is a second-grade lady. But this is a rule, not all officials' wives can get the title, they must have both ability and political integrity, virtuous and virtuous, such officials, after layers of invitations, and finally the Ministry of Rites reported to the queen, and the queen can only give the title after approval. Therefore, the queen is the leader of the internal and external women, because she can not only seal the concubines in the palace, but also seal the officials and relatives outside the palace.

Generally, only less than half of the wives of officials can get the title of Gao, so Mrs. Zhao is very proud of herself, a super-qualified duchess.

But at this moment, Zhao Chongyi not only wanted to kill her first, but after being protected by Zhongyigong, not only did he not appreciate it, but said such questioning words, Mrs. Zhao was going to laugh angrily, she slowly found a chair to sit down, just under the extreme nervousness, her body had been exhausted, she needed to sit down and take a breath, and take a good look at Zhao Chongyi, a nasty concubine.

After Mrs. Zhao sat down, she asked in a cold voice: "My edict was sealed by the imperial court, and it was exchanged for your father's birth and death in the war." Your father and son have been fighting and serving your country all year round, but I am not idle at home to enjoy the glory. How many things in the capital, how many things in the Guogong Mansion, I am in charge of it alone, raising children, taking care of the family, and even the entire Zhao clan is I taking care of. ”

This is the truth, although the old loyal and righteous father is dissatisfied with his wife, but he really has nothing to say about his wife's merits.

Mrs. Zhao reached out to a cup of tea that had been cold, took a sip, and said, "In the Zhao clan, your father is the patriarch, but has he ever had the responsibilities and obligations of the patriarch?" The affairs of the Zhao family, how much has he managed, who sends someone to take care of the sacrificial field in our hometown, and how does the old family live every year? What about the sacrifice? How can the people of the Zhao clan who live in the capital develop better, and if the clansmen have something, who will take care of it? Ask your father, who is doing all this? ”

This Zhao Chongyi also knows that their father and son spend most of their time on the battlefield, and besides, his father is good at fighting, but he is not good at dealing with these trivial matters.

Mrs. Zhao continued: "I won't talk about the affairs of our clan. Let's just say that the affairs in our house, there are many people, there are many things, you go to the battlefield to fight, and the rewards you get are increasing day by day, there are more and more shops and granges at home, and there are more and more expenses, so many things, who has been taking care of them for so many years? You just know that when you are fighting outside, who is doing the correspondence between the officials and eunuchs in the capital, and the officials of the household department of the military department? Otherwise, your merits can be recorded without pulling any strings, Da Chu can fight more, and the military department will deduct more of their merits, why haven't you been deducted? Fighting outside the war, you need food and grass, how many troops have been deducted by the household department, have you been deducted? Isn't this because I'm maintaining it in the capital? Of course, it's not all my credit, it's also the emperor's favor, these people are very good to you. However, the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, the emperor ordered, if the people below are dissatisfied, can't they disobey the yang and the yin? Have you ever encountered such a thing? It's not my credit? Am I not virtuous? I'm not qualified to be the commandant? ”

The old loyal and righteous man had nothing to say.

But Zhao Chongyi still stood upright, unmoved at all, and listened coldly, the ridicule at the corner of his mouth became more and more wide.

When Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Chongyi like this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, where did this kid come from?

The old loyal and righteous father said to his son: "Your mother-in-law has worked hard and is a hero of our family, how can you disobey your mother-in-law?" Why don't you come over and ask your grandmother for forgiveness? ”

Zhao Chongyi said coldly: "Please forgive her?" Does she deserve it? You ask her, how did my mother die? ”

Lao Zhongyigong chuckled in his heart, turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhao, his eyes spurted with fine light, Mrs. Zhao's heart trembled, she turned her head unconsciously, and said stiffly: "How else can you die?" He died of illness. She was sick with the epidemic, and I was afraid that she would infect people, so I moved her to Zhuangzi and asked a good doctor to heal her, but she was not blessed and passed away. ”

Zhao Chongyi asked hatefully: "There are corpses when people die, what about my mother's corpse?" ”

Mrs. Zhao said: "Didn't you say that she had the epidemic? If you can't keep the body, what if you get infected? At that time, the population of the house was large, and your brothers and sisters were all young, where could I take this risk, and this was in the capital, if the family knew that our family had an infectious disease, the court would have to come forward. There is no way, so I have to ask someone to cremate her on the Zhuangzi, and the ashes will also be handed over to your father. You are the ones who mourn, but I have prepared this sacrifice? Am I sorry for you? Am I not virtuous? I am a dignified lady in the main room, and it is already benevolent and righteous to prepare sacrifices for her concubine. Do you still expect me to worship her? ”

In this world, there is no reason for the lady of the main room to worship the concubine. Because the old loyal and righteous man has nothing to say. On the contrary, he thinks that Mrs. Zhao can allow Zhao Chongyi to pay tribute to her mother in the mansion every year, and it can be regarded as generous.

Zhao Chongyi sneered and asked, "Are the ashes of my mother's relatives that I sacrifice every year really my mother's ashes?" (To be continued......)
