Li Ying had already taken people out of the palace and went to arrest Li Xuan.

And Zhao Kuo didn't know it at this time, he was cooking in the kitchen of the restaurant, Yan Ning and Zhou Ying were talking in the room, and Qin Tian was pestering the void monk to teach him some powerful martial arts.

After the meal was ready, everyone sat down around the table, talking and laughing while eating, a scene of joy.

During the banquet, Zhao Kuo watched Yan Ning and Zhou Ying sitting together happily talking and laughing, with a bright smile on her face all the time, and she was very relieved in her heart, Yan Ning was really lonely in Zhao Du at ordinary times, and she had endured too many things that should not have been borne by a little girl of her age. It's rare to see her so happy today.

Zhou Ying was also very happy at this time, finally someone to accompany her, and she was no longer alone. Now she still doesn't know that her grandfather has passed away, after all, Zhou Jian had an explanation to the Void Monk before he died, and don't tell Zhou Ying about his death for the time being, Zhao Kuo and they should abide by it.

In the morning, Zhou Ying's uncle had come to the restaurant to see Zhao Kuo, and when Zhao Kuo learned that he was Zhou Jian's righteous son, he told him the news of Zhou Jian's death. After that, he repeatedly begged Zhao Kuo to protect Zhou Ying and take care of Zhou Ying, and then left.

"Yan Ning, a few days ago, why did the third prince and her mother call you into the palace to see her? Do you want you to marry the third prince? ”

Yan Ning saw Zhao Kuo open her mouth to ask her this question, her expression changed slightly, and then she brushed the broken hair on her forehead and returned: "Concubine Lan should have this idea, but she didn't say it explicitly, she just asked me to chat with her more when I have nothing to do in the future."

Zhao Kuo sighed, and then stopped asking about this topic.

At this time, Li Yan ran over in a panic and said to Zhao Kuo breathlessly: "Your Highness, it's not good, something happened."

"What's so flustered? You even out your breath."

"I just got the news, that Wei Guang entered the palace to meet the emperor, and sued you fiercely in front of the emperor, what's even more complete is that the emperor has asked Manager Li to lead people to arrest Gonggong Li and put him in prison, I heard that he will be cut off in a few days."

After Zhao Kuo heard this, he stood up directly and asked, "I gave the order to beat Wei Wushu, what are you doing to arrest Li Xuan?" ”

"It is said that it was because he kicked Na Wei Guang during his fight with him last night"

Wei Guang's goods are really not a thing, and if he suffers a loss in a fight, he will go to Emperor Zhao to complain, obviously he made people move first. Emperor Zhao is also a fool, without asking the ins and outs of the matter, and analyzing who is right and who is wrong, he directly ordered the arrest of people, isn't it true that Zhao Guo is afraid of Wei State?

Zhao Kuo didn't care about eating, and turned around to go out, Qin Tian hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"I entered the palace to face the saint, and it was I who gave the order to beat people, and I couldn't let Li Xuan suffer for me no matter what, so I went to ask my father to let Li Xuan go."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't take a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Qin Tian, and immediately patted his head, secretly scolding himself for being stupid, why did he forget about this Qin State Major, and then walked in front of Qin Tian and pulled him up: "Qin Dashao, you and I entered the palace to face the saint together, just say that you and Wei Guang have a personal vendetta, and it was you who ordered Li Xuan and the monk to do something to Wei Guang."

Qin Tian opened his mouth wide in confusion, pointed his finger at himself and said, "You're not mistaken, right? If I let my uncle know that I am causing trouble here again, I will definitely be beaten up by him again when I go back, so I won't go."

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't go, can you bear to see Li Xuan beheaded by the Autumn Queen? Besides, you originally had a personal enmity with Wei Guang, don't worry, you are the son of Qin, and now you are a distinguished guest in my Zhao, even if you stop this matter on yourself, your father will not punish you, and you can save a life by taking a beating, isn't it worth it? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Tian to agree or not, and directly dragged him out.

The two entered the palace, came to the study room, and after saluting Emperor Zhao, Emperor Zhao cordially chatted with Qin Tian about the past with his father and uncle, Qin Tian chatted quite energetically, and he didn't talk about Li Xuan's matter for a long time, and the anxious Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to go up directly to strangle him, and finally couldn't help it, and said directly to Emperor Zhao: "Father, the son learned that Mr. Li led someone to arrest the son of the minister's close attendant eunuch early this morning, I don't know what he committed?" actually put him directly in prison? ”

Emperor Zhao squinted at Zhao Kuo, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "What happened to your accompanying eunuch, don't you know that this master of yours knows?" ”

"But because of the conflict with Wei Guang last night?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Zhao asked Zhao Kuo in a faint tone.

"If it's because of this matter, then Qin Tianshizi has something to say to his father, you" Zhao Kuo really doesn't like to talk to Emperor Zhao, and it's too hard for Nima.

After Qin Tian heard Zhao Kuo talk about it, he suddenly remembered what he was here for, and hurriedly said: "Ah, yes, the emperor, about the fight with Wei Guang last night, the main thing is ......"

Before Emperor Zhao could finish speaking, he directly interrupted: "Your uncle also sent me a letter a few days ago, asking me if you have caused trouble in Zhao all day long, and claiming that if so, then when you go back, he will take you to the barracks to be disciplined and disciplined." I immediately wrote back to him and told him, you are very polite in Zhao Du, and you have never caused trouble, you just mentioned the matter of the prince of Wei last night, could it be that you were also involved in it? If that's the case, then I'll have to write another letter to General Bai Qi to inform him of the facts, after all, I'm the king of a country, and I can't be full of lies, right? ”

As soon as Qin Tian heard that his uncle was going to take him to the barracks, his body immediately trembled with fright, his uncle's barracks, where he had a shadow since he was a child, he would not go again if he was killed, and then he shook his head and waved his hand and said: "No, no, since I came to Zhaodu, I have never caused trouble, even if I was chased and beaten on the street, I have not revenged, I just heard about the fight between Wei Guang and others last night, and I didn't participate, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand."

Emperor Zhao sighed after hearing this, and nodded with satisfaction: "Since the matter has nothing to do with you, then you don't have to pay too much attention, it's good to have this time to read more books, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is the Emperor"

"You guys stand down first, I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while"

As soon as Qin Tian heard that Emperor Zhao had let him leave, he hurriedly saluted and returned: "The foreign minister retires"

Then he pulled Zhao Kuo to go out, Zhao Kuo did not move, but said to him: "You go back first, I still have something to tell my father."

Qin Tian looked at Zhao Kuo, wanting to stay with him, and then looked at Zhao Huang again, and thought of the tragic experience of living in his uncle's barracks before, and ran away without bringing his head back.

Zhao Kuo said silently: Zhen Nima doesn't pay attention to righteousness.

After Qin Tian left, Emperor Zhao's voice sounded: "What's the matter, just say it"

Zhao Kuo knelt on the ground on his knees and pleaded to Emperor Zhao: "Father, the son begs the father to let Li Xuan go, he has been with the son since he was a child, he has taken care of the son for the longest time, and he is the closest eunuch to the son of the son, and the son of the son kowtows and begs the father to spare him."

After speaking, he pressed his forehead tightly to the ground.

"Finished?"

Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at Zhao Huang blankly and nodded.

"Let's step down when I'm done, now that the will has been made and the people have been arrested, how can I say that I will let it go, and let Wei Guang give him a result."

"Father, what happened last night was completely Wei Guang's first move, and the people of the sons and daughters were just self-defense, and the fault was also Wei Guang's, how could my father arrest people at will without finding out the reason?"

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Emperor Zhao seemed to be a little angry, and directly picked up the book on the table and smashed it at Zhao Kuo, and said angrily: "Are you doing your duty?" Are you teaching me how to do things? You're so daring."

Zhao Kuo hurriedly lowered his head again: "Erchen doesn't dare, it's just that everything has cause and effect, and if my father doesn't find out the ins and outs of things, he will do it at will..."

"Enough, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense, do you know that things are done between countries, without asking about the process, without asking the reason, just looking at the results of the treatment? Hurry up and get out of here."

"The son begs his father to forgive Li Xuan," Zhao Kuo bowed to the ground again.

"Stand Down"

"If the father does not agree to the request of the son, the son will kneel here for a long time until the father agrees to release Li Xuan."

Emperor Zhao seemed to be really angry by Zhao Kuo, and coughed non-stop, "For the sake of a servant eunuch, do you not even care about your identity as a prince?" Is it to be ridiculed by the world? ”

"Li Xuan, he is not a slave, he is a person who has grown up with his son, he is the one who has always served and protected his son, he is a relative of his son, so he can't watch him lose his life, last night's incident, Erchen is the mastermind, it was Erchen who ordered him to take action against Wei Guang, he just obeyed orders, begged his father to let him go, and Erchen is willing to accept any punishment"

"You are the prince of my Zhao country, with the identity of the prince, do you know what it represents? That's the face of my Zhao Guo, do you understand? ”

"Erchen doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand, Erchen only knows that he can't see the people around him die because of him"

Emperor Zhao was really angry with Zhao Kuo, and he didn't bother to say anything more to him, so he said directly: "Kneel down for me to get out and kneel, don't get in the way of my eyes here."

After saying that, Zhao Kuo got up, walked out of the study room, and came outside to continue kneeling.

Zhao Huang looked at Zhao Kuo's back, and for the first time had a very strange feeling to Zhao Kuo, although Zhao Kuo was stubborn and uninhibited in the past, he had never dared to collide with him so bluntly in front of him, and Zhao Huang was curious about Zhao Kuo's previous Yan State execution for the first time.
