Chapter 122: Xuanwu! Xuanwu!
"Kid! What are you going to do now? Even if you see your father, what are you going to do? β
Empress Zheng stared at Zhao Huan and asked.
He hoped that Zhao Huan could have a feasible way to clean up this harem.
If this is the case, whether it is public or private, I will definitely help.
"Su Yuanjing has not made any significant contributions to the Great Song Dynasty in his life, but he has always been loyal to his father, and he has been sheltering the few remaining loyal ministers, and now he is at the last moment, his father should send it away!"
This is what Zhao Huan believes that Zhao Ji should and must do.
"In front of Taiwei Su, I want to tell my father about this matter completely, and ask him to give me the right to clean up the harem!"
"Especially the military power, the child has to get it! The inner guards of the harem are no longer credible, and I will transfer the troops outside to investigate them one by one! β
"Alas!"
Empress Zheng sighed in disappointment and sat down in her chair weakly.
"Can't do it! How could your father grant such a request! Your father...... In the past two months, the changes have become bigger and bigger, and even I am goneβit's not that I'm indifferent to me, or I don't care about anything, and I'm busy cultivating every day! β
"I retired this morning, I still saw him from afar, his face was very bad and anxious, but I didn't know what to be anxious about!"
"Also, the Ouchi guards, he selected them one by one, a total of 3,000 people, he believes in these Ouchi guards more than he believes in me, otherwise do you think Zonghu can still be presumptuous in Zichenmen?"
"Huan'er, give up! Don't go! You finally have a chance to get rid of the traitorous party, the world is looking forward to it, don't let everyone down! β
"But Su Yuanjing...... He's the last loyal minister in the court! β
"So what?" Empress Zheng said, "The official family hasn't summoned him for half a year, and he can see him when he goes to court." β
Zhao Huan was silent at first, and then suddenly said: "Is there a traitor in the harem who confuses the king's heart?" β
"There are two Taoist priests entering the palace...... But you can't control that! β
"Where did it come from?"
"Only from the north!"
Zhao Huan was silent for a long time, and then said: "I still want to see my father!" In the morning, my father was relieved to see me come back, but now I just want to see him, and I have urgent matters, and my father has no reason to blame me! β
He was still unwilling, he wanted to give it a try.
There are traitors in the palace, the facts are in front of you, although Zhao Ji is a faint king, he is not a fool, there is no reason to turn a blind eye!
"Since you don't believe it!" Empress Zheng glanced at him, "You just go and try it!" But you have to promise me that you can't anger your father, or you won't be able to protect yourself! β
Zhao Huan did not speak.
He didn't want to look ahead or backward.
It was only six years before the Jin people went south, and the Great Song Dynasty was so erosive that Zhao Ji couldn't count on it.
The situation does not allow Zhao Huan to take his time, he must break through strongly.
Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Huan dragged his injured leg and moved closer to the gate step by step.
Quiescence.
In the cold wind, Yanfu Palace did not even have birdsong.
Zhao Ji's cultivation place is not far from Yanfu Gate, as long as Zhao Huan shouts loudly, he will definitely be able to hear it.
Funing Palace is the farthest palace from Zichen Gate, and Empress Zheng didn't come to save him because she heard his shouts.
The same is true of Yanfu Palace, it is impossible for Zhao Ji not to hear it.
Zhao Huan stood three feet away from Yanfu Gate, standing still, tilting his face and aiming into the distance.
"Father! The son has something important to see! β
Zhao Huan's voice fell, and his echo was transmitted all over the palace walls, echoing back and forth eight or nine times, and finally it was so faint that it was inaudible.
"Father! The son has something important to see! β
Zhao Huan raised his voice a little more, and the echo was agitated, two more times than just now.
"Father! The son has something important to see! β
"Father! Su Yuanjing's body is heavily poisoned, and he can't survive today! Father! Father! β
Zhao Huan shouted desperately, more than ten times in succession.
Squeak β
The door was open, and an old eunuch hurried out with two little eunuchs and four chamberlains.
"Your Highness! Don't shout! β
The old eunuch stopped in a false voice.
"Grandpa Zhang! I want to see my father! Take me in! β
Zhao Huan said excitedly.
"Shhhh Please don't say it, the official just dropped two of his favorite porcelain vases...... Your voice is too loud, affecting the Qing cultivation of the official family! β
Zhao Huan's face changed: "Old Lady Su has been poisoned deeply, and he is already terminally ill, and he can't last tonight......"
"Hear me! You are so loud that the whole Yeonfu Palace can hear it! β
"What did my father say? He doesn't see me? "Zhao Huan is a little incredible.
"Nope! Recently, the official family has just gained something, and he was angry in the morning; I was praising you for coming, but you came here in the afternoon! Are you ...... Alas! The official said he was wrong about you! β
Did you see me wrong?
Zhao Huan was a little stunned.
"Su Yuanjing is dead, he won't see him?"
"Nope!" The old eunuch said bitterly, "Don't be lame!" The official family doesn't want to care about anything except the morning court every three days recently! Don't come here! β
"Impossible!"
Zhao Huan shook his head.
"Three months ago, I saw my father! That's not how my father looked! He wouldn't be so ruthless! β
He still remembers the scene of father and son meeting in harmony three months ago.
At the same time, Zhao Ji's brief reassuring eyes also gave him hope.
It's just that, hearing Zhao Huan say this, the old eunuch shook his head, stood up straight and walked back to the steps, looking at Zhao Huan condescendingly.
"The official family has an order: Prince Zhao Huan disturbs my Dao heart, which is very hateful! Thinking that he is the prince of the country, he was whipped twenty and expelled from the harem! In the future, we must do a good job and calm down the thieves; Don't mess around anymore and interfere with my early ascension! β
Whipping twenty!
Interfere with his early ascension!
Hahaha!
I see!
Zhao Ji was frightened by the fact that he lost half of the country in the early dynasty!
I want to ascend to heaven as soon as possible and escape from the world!
Jiangshan simply doesn't care!
The people under him, whether they are loyal or traitorous, simply don't care!
Just want to do his fairy dreams!
Da Song has no hope in his hands!
There is no hope!
β¦β¦
"Let's fight!"
The two little eunuchs cautiously came to the delirious Zhao Huan, took off his shirt against the cold wind, and exposed his back.
I wanted Zhao Huan to kneel, but the old eunuch looked at Zhao Huan's injured leg and shook his head at the two little eunuchs.
A guard took the whip from the old eunuch's hand and stood behind Zhao Huan.
Smack-
The first whip went down, and Zhao Huan only felt that the frozen skin and flesh were extremely painful.
The guard was about to strike a second whip when one of the little eunuchs grabbed him by the arm and stared at the guard deadly.
Although the guard was young, he understood at once, nodded, and the whip deliberately deviated downwards and pulled onto the cotton clothes.
Puff puff β
After more than a dozen whips, the cotton clothes were already in tatters.
"Stop!"
Another guard frowned and shouted, then took the whip and whipped it four or five times fiercely, and five black whip marks immediately appeared on Zhao Huan's back.
"Enough! Twenty lashes already! β
The old eunuch rebuked in a low voice.
The guard put away the whip with an unwilling face, and the two little eunuchs hurriedly put on Zhao Huan's clothes.
"You two!" The old eunuch pointed to the two little eunuchs, "Expelle the prince from the palace!" β
"Yes!"
The two little eunuchs took the sluggish Zhao Huan and slowly walked towards Zichen Gate.
The night was getting dark, and the cold wind was like a knife, stabbing into Zhao Huan's body.
Zhao Huan felt the pain on his back and legs, and walked out step by step.
The two little eunuchs held each other on the left and the right, their heads bowed, and they kept whispering in their mouths.
The sound was loud enough for the three of them to hear.
"Your Highness, don't resent the official family, the official family is not cruel to you, the official family actually remembers you in their hearts."
"But the officials are afraid that they will not be able to achieve positive results, and many things can only be done against their will."
"The two national teachers told Your Majesty that the more you interfere in mortal affairs, the farther away you will be from the Tao."
"The two national teachers said that only by doing nothing can they preach, and that the courtiers should solve the contradictions and problems by themselves, which is the virtue of 'goodness is like water'."
"The two national teachers are very opposed to the matter of the official family ordering His Royal Highness to judge Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing this morning, and he said that this will disturb the 'natural way' in the world, and it will also disturb the Taoist heart of the official family...... That's why the officials are so ruthless that they beat these twenty whips! β
"Your Highness! The inner guards in the palace were changed by half last month, and their origins are mysterious, related to the two national teachers, and they are very strict with the old people in the palace, the concubines and princesses in the palace, and the courtiers outside the palace. β
"Your Highness! Grandpa Zhang asked the two of us to beg you on his behalf: Don't come again in the future! β
β¦β¦
Along the way, Zhao Huan's eyes were always staring at Zichen Gate, and his pace never changed.
Zong Hu's sneer was getting closer and closer, and the two little eunuchs had already closed their mouths.
Zhao Huan turned a blind eye, his eyes didn't move, he still kept his pace, and walked out of the Zichen Gate, and even the two little eunuchs let go of him as if he didn't feel it.
"Your Highness!"
Liu Huiniang, Chen Liqing, Wu Yong, Liu Qi, Liu Lin, Yu Baosi, Song Qing, Le He, An Daoquan, Jiao Ting, Yan Qing, Gongsun Sheng, Dai Zong......
More than a dozen people lined up in a row, and when they saw Zhao Huan coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Zhao Huan still didn't speak, his eyes were still looking straight ahead, keeping his pace, and moving towards Xuande Gate step by step.
Chen Liqing looked at Zhao Huan's appearance, tears fell down her eyes, and she glared angrily at Zichen Gate.
"I'll kill ......"
"Don't be presumptuous!"
Liu Huiniang grabbed her with red eyes, and the murderous aura in her eyes was no better than Zhao Huan.
Chen Liqing resisted her murderous intent and turned her head to look at Zhao Huan, walked quickly to Zhao Huan to block it, and hugged Zhao Huan's chest.
"Your Highness! What happened to you? You...... It can't be okay! β
Zhao Huan stopped, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "I'm fine!" Girl, if you hold me like this, no one will dare to marry you, so you can only marry me! β
"You...... Scared the hell out of us! β
Zhao Huan's ridicule made everyone relax a little, but Chen Liqing hugged Zhao Huan tighter and wanted to cry.
"Shhhh
Zhao Huan gasped, "Qing'er, don't cry, if you use some more force, you will be widowed!" β
The sentence "Qing'er" made Chen Liqing's little face flush, and she quickly let go of Zhao Huan and lifted his ragged back.
Five ravines, the skin and flesh are turned out.
In contrast, the red mark that came out of the first whip was automatically ignored by everyone.
"Why?"
Everyone was indignant, Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang were so sad and angry that they were about to bite their lips and bleed.
"Qing'er, I'll test you in three words!"
Zhao Huan did not answer, but pointed to the plaque on the Zichen Gate.
It was Zhao Ji's handwriting. Eighteen years ago, Zhao Ji replaced the original plaque and replaced it with his own book.
"I've read books anyway, can I recognize the three words 'Zichenmen'?"
Chen Liqing said coquettishly.
"You! Two of the three words are misrecognized! The word 'door' is correct, but the first two words are clearly pronounced as 'Xuanwu'......"
