Chapter 966: Discouraged
"Father, the matter has been investigated clearly, and there are all human and material evidence, it is indeed the eldest brother who instigated a group of ruffians and hooligans to maliciously slander and deliberately spread rumors.
And all of them are the secrets of our relatives in Beijing, including inside and outside the palace, and even on the palace of Zonglu Wangbo, among which Jiang Mo on the above generals and Zongguang Wangfu is the most serious, of course, including the emperor's grandfather in the palace.
In this case, how could Jingzhao Mansion release people casually, even if his son used his relationship and used the money, it was still to no avail.
It is impossible for the eldest brother to release what he said tonight, and the son can only ensure that the eldest brother will not suffer there, but ...... How to deal with this matter, my son is afraid that there is nothing he can do. Zhao Congling said that this matter was extremely serious, but he just wanted to tell his father that he tried his best in this matter, but he was not completely sure of the severe situation, and there was no way to blame him.
"You, you, you can't do anything with this king now, you didn't say that before the afternoon!" King Zongli was in a hurry.
"Father, the son didn't expect the eldest brother to be so bold, and even dared to make up rumors about the general and the emperor's grandfather, and the Jingzhao Mansion also received a report, and the human and material evidence were there, so he sent it to the palace to report!
It took a lot of effort for his son to reluctantly persuade Jingzhao Mansion Yin to suppress the matter first, but ...... The eldest brother's move is indeed excessive, and no matter how capable the son is, it is difficult to ensure that he is thorough.
Please forgive me for this. Zhao Congling was neither humble nor arrogant, he seemed to be explaining something ordinary to an outsider, without any emotion at all, and he didn't even see anger.
Probably disappointed a long time ago, so even if King Zong Li had something excessive, Zhao Congling would not take it seriously, but just sneered twice in his heart and passed.
"What? This little thing, Jingzhao Mansion's bastard Mansion Yin still dares to report it! I really don't take this king seriously! It's just too deceitful! "King Zongli still loves his son-in-law in the end, and he is angry.
"Father, it's no wonder that people in Jingzhao Mansion are in this matter, in the final analysis, it's the eldest brother who is excessive, if he hadn't been like this, Jingzhao Mansion wouldn't have been so cruel.
Alas...... I don't know what kind ......of confusion the eldest brother has made again, alas, "Zhao Congling is actually a little impatient with his father's attitude towards this matter."
Even if he feels sorry for his son and wants to protect him, at least there must be a black and white distinction, but the attitude of his father's doting eldest brother is really a bit unreasonable, and Zhao Congling has no intention of saying any more.
"Humph! You're confused too! He's the eldest brother, if you don't talk to him, why do you talk to an outsider more and more, do you really have any opinions or dissatisfaction with your eldest brother? For some reason, King Zong Li suddenly rushed towards Zhao Congling, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his attitude of speaking like this.
"Father, what do you say...... It's inevitable that it hurts my son's heart too much, how my son has treated you and your eldest brother over the years, don't you see it all in your eyes, father?
Hehe...... Or is it ...... Because his son is a concubine, his father has never trusted his son, hehe......" Zhao Congling had a premonition in his heart, but after these words came out of his father's mouth, he still felt heartache, but ...... I don't feel suffocated like I did at the beginning, it's just ...... I still feel uncomfortable, unfair, and unworthy.
"You! Call...... Of course, this king doesn't mean that, but he is your eldest brother, and he is the son of our Zongli Palace, that is our façade, and whoever has an accident should not have an accident!
Since you are my son of Zhao Zongli, you should understand this even more, your eldest brother can't have an accident no matter what! King Zong Li also seemed to realize that his words were a little inappropriate, but he was a father, and he didn't have a son's turn to point fingers, let alone worry about a son's feelings.
Being able to explain like this is enough to attach importance to Zhao Congling, but the weakness that King Zong Li thought was another form of favoritism and hurt in Zhao Congling's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were irrepressibly hooked, with a sneer.
"Father, of course, the son doesn't want anything to happen to the eldest brother, especially at this time,
But you know better than your son what kind of character your eldest brother has now, maybe your son's words are indeed a bit arrogant, but my son has to say that my eldest brother has today, it is all due to your doting on your father! ”
"You!" Zhao Congling didn't know where the courage and courage came from, not only did he not know how to avoid it in the angry eyes of King Zongli, but he raised his head to meet him, not afraid at all, and a word provoked King Zongli to raise his face.
"Father, my son knows that you are angry, if you want to beat him, my son will not complain, it's just a matter of the eldest brother, the son has done his best, and I ask my father to ...... Forgive me......"
"Bastard!" Zhao Congling saw that his father raised his hand, so he stiffened his neck, and he was even more afraid, King Zong Li was actually angry, but he didn't really want to do it, but Zhao Congling's attitude today was really too different from the inside, which made King Zong Li unhappy, and the hand naturally fell to his face.
With a snap, it was extremely crisp, and the air in the study instantly condensed.
King Zong Li was stunned for a moment, but then he became angry again, but Zhao Congling was beaten by this slap for a long time and did not turn his head, and he was still naked in front of King Zong Li from this red slap print, which was shocking.
In fact, this is not the first time Zhao Congling has been beaten by his father, King Zongli.
From childhood to adulthood, although he was cowardly and timid and didn't often cause trouble, because of his eldest brother, he didn't take the blame for him, and there were indeed many beatings and scoldings, but he could bear them, but today's slap really broke Zhao Congling's heart.
Although he knew that in his father's heart, he would never be more important than his eldest brother Zhao Conghan, but he still had extravagant hopes in his heart, and he worked hard and tried his best to get ahead, just to get a thumbs up from his father, or a gentle and loving look.
In the past, he thought that he was not far from this goal, so no matter how big the humiliation was, he could continue to endure it, even if he was unwilling, but as long as it was his father, he would work hard to complete it, but today, this slap seemed to have completely woken up Zhao Congling, and also completely cut off his thoughts about his father.
His heart involuntarily became fierce at this moment.
"Father, are you relieved?" For a long time, just when the atmosphere seemed to be extremely embarrassing, Zhao Congling finally turned his head, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth casually, and said to King Zong Li with a faint, faint smile that people could hardly grasp.
"You! What do you mean! Is it threatening the king? "For some reason, King Zongli, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, actually had a trace of inexplicable fear in front of his son.
He didn't even dare to look into the child's eyes, which really made him feel uneasy, but he didn't want to admit it, so he could only scold him more fiercely.
"Father, my son doesn't dare, but what my son said is the truth, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry that you hit your son.
How is the eldest brother today, you should know most in your heart, the son is just ...... I want to remind my father that this time is different from the past, and our house no longer has the arrogance and glory of the past.
Everything the son did was for the sake of the safety of the palace, and no matter what his father wanted, the son had done his best.
Other...... The son really couldn't do anything...... "Since they have all been slapped, Zhao Congling really has nothing to fear, raise his head, neither humble nor arrogant."
There is no respect in the eyes, but there is no hatred, this kind of desireless, fearless and fearless eyes are indeed the most chilling.
"Humph! And say no! I see that you did it on purpose in your eldest brother's affairs!
Call...... Or this king spoils you too much, and you actually ignore your eldest brother because of a little selfish thoughts, you are so ruthless! "King Zong Li is really right.
Of course, this matter was not designed by Zhao Congling, nor did he do it on purpose, but Zhao Conghan was really excessive, since he had this opportunity, he didn't need to do it himself, he could teach him a lesson, why didn't he do it.
So he knew that his father would blame him, but Zhao Congling still chose to prepare his inner intentions and didn't make a move.
And although King Zong Li was right in some things, he was far from knowing what kind of ability his son was.
He just always felt that he was a little unreliable, although he was helping him to bear the crisis in the house at the beginning, but he was a concubine in the end, no matter how good he was, no matter how good he was, no matter how he was alone, he couldn't hand over everything inside and outside the house to him, because he was a concubine!
