Xia Yichang listened to Li Yao's words, and his face instantly turned dark.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng secretly said that it was not good.

The successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always pursued the rule of benevolence and filial piety, although the Great Zhou also had slavery, but the emperor would not fail to regard slaves as human beings, let alone after Li Yao and other heroes.

Zhao Shizong used Li Yao as a living target, and it was strange that the emperor could not be angry.

Prime Minister Zhao pondered for a moment, hurriedly walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down, and said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty! Xiao'er didn't know the identity of the county lord of Yiyang that day, so he asked the county lord of Yiyang to make an arrow target, and then the child's archery skills are well-known, and will not hurt people by mistake, plus Li Dagongzi's archery skills, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the ordinary competition, in order to increase the difficulty of the competition, this is the temporary idea of such a loss, Xiao'er is definitely not intentional, and please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

Prime Minister Zhao didn't dare to mention that Xia Chenyu was about to strangle Zhao Shizong to death, so that Zhao Shizong went home to raise his throat for a month.

After all, this matter not only made the emperor dissatisfied, but it was also Zhao Shizong's offense, and Zhao Shizong went back and admitted to him, Zhao Shizong did want to kill Li Yao at that time, but for some reason Li Yao shot down the last arrow, so even if he said it, the emperor would not pursue the Seven Princes for this, and maybe he would praise the Seven Princes for pinching well.

Now he just wants to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible, so as to save the right and wrong.

Zhao Shizong obviously also sensed that the emperor was angry, and when he saw his father interceding for him, he also walked to Zhao Chengxiang and knelt down beside him.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are guilty." As soon as Zhao Shizong knelt down, he knocked to the end.

In fact, how could Xia Yichang not know what happened in the General's Mansion, but he kept a straight face in order to blame the Zhao family, and Prime Minister Zhao and Zhao Shizong's move was to retreat and take the initiative to admit their mistakes, which made Xia Yichang not make a big fuss.

But Xia Yichang didn't want to let Zhao Shizong go so easily, so he snorted coldly and said: "Even if it is an unintentional move, I will not pursue this matter, but you have a gambling contract with the county lord of Yiyang first, and you should fulfill your promise, otherwise how can you convince people?" ”

Prime Minister Zhao Cheng's face was a little ugly, and let his second son call Li Yao 'aunt', it was better to beat Zhao Shizong with a board.

But just now Li Yao also said that she exchanged her 'life' for the gambling contract, which Zhao Shizong still did not abide by, it was too bullying, and Zhao Chengxiang didn't know how to refute it for a while.

However, Zhao Guifei said to the emperor with a very blank look: "Your Majesty, these two little children are just joking, so why should they be so serious?" ”

As a result, it was okay that she didn't speak, but when she spoke, Xia Yichang was angered.

Xia Yichang was so angry that he slapped the table and said, 'Touch! A loud bang scared Zhao Guifei so much that even the more timid people in the hall were frightened.

"Okay, you Zhao Luxue! Your good nephew is joking with you using a living person as an arrow target?! Xia Yichang pointed at Zhao Guifei with an angry face, and was so angry that he called her by name.

Zhao Guifei was frightened by Xia Yichang, and hurriedly got up and knelt down, she changed into a pitiful look and looked at Xia Yichang and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean that......"

"And what do you mean?" Xia Yichang glared angrily.

"This ......" Zhao Guifei's eyes rolled, and she couldn't think of how to explain it for a while.

But Prime Minister Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no way to teach his son, so the minister will let Xiao'er fulfill the gambling contract, and ask Your Majesty to calm his anger." ”

After speaking, Zhao Chengxiang straightened up and slapped Zhao Shizong's back, and then said angrily: "Bastard thing!" If you have the courage to make a bet with someone, why don't you fulfill the gambling contract? Makes Your Majesty angry, see if I won't kill you when I go back! ”
