Chapter 054: Ending the Zhao Family (2)

The era that belonged to the Zhao family is over.

A man about forty years old sitting on Zhao Yongnian's right hand side, seeing that everyone in the audience did not hesitate to agree with the punishment of Zhao Tianqing, a trace of eagerness flashed in his narrow eyes, and he couldn't help cheering in his heart.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yongnian was full of helplessness, alas, their Zhao family has been operating in the Confucian Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years, how could they have been treated like this. To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to object, but he is really powerless.

Just yesterday, Jin Shang summoned Zhao Yongnian into the palace overnight, and left him alone outside the palace and knelt bitterly for more than an hour.

Zhao Yongnian was afraid in his heart, he didn't dare to hide at all, and let those pieces of paper smash on his face, the sharp corners cut through the dough, and a hot pain suddenly came from his face.

Zhao Yongnian didn't dare to care about the bleeding wound on his face at all, he quickly knelt down, picked up the folds scattered around him, and didn't dare to look at it, respectfully put his hands on the top of his head, waiting for it to fall.

"Don't pretend to be aggrieved, take a good look at these twists and turns yourself?" Emperor Longqing sat behind the bookcase with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "It's a shame that I have always trusted you and let you inherit the position of president of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce." As a result, that's how you behaved? Well? If your Zhao family doesn't want to be the president, or you don't have the ability to do it, then let it out happily, and I will never keep you. Why bother to make such a? Hum! Collaboration? Rebellious trade with the Northern Tang Dynasty? You, you say, what do you Zhao family want to do? ”

To tell the truth, Emperor Longqing did not believe in the twists and turns presented by the Yaodu County Ya, let alone that the Zhao family would be fornicated and rebellious. Because he knows very well that in the past hundred years, the Great Zhou Emperor has been the backer of the Zhao family, and if he loses the trust of the emperor, the Zhao family will not be bullshit.

It's one thing not to believe it, but Emperor Longqing can't help but take it to heart, he even suspects Zhao Tianqing's purpose for doing this, of course, he can't avoid the possibility that Zhao Tianqing was framed. But then again, why did the rebellion of the Northern Tang Dynasty frame Zhao Tianqing? Is there something involved between them? Or is there something big wrong with the Confucian Chamber of Commerce?

The inherent paranoia of the emperor filled Emperor Longqing's mind with all kinds of conspiracies, and the imperial court's control over the Confucian Chamber of Commerce became smaller and smaller, which made the emperor with a strong desire to control very dissatisfied.

In addition, recently, Emperor Longqing was angry with the Li family, but he was accumulating a belly of anger, and this time he finally found a reason to explode, and vented his anger towards Zhao Yongnian.

Zhao Yongnian listened to Emperor Longqing's words, he trembled with fright, he opened the fold with trembling hands, and looked carefully line by line. Although this afternoon, the second daughter-in-law had already cried to him about what happened to his second son in Yaodu, Zhao Yongnian also knew that Zhao Tianqing was imprisoned, and when he entered the palace, he was somewhat mentally prepared.

But now that he saw the confession presented by the yamen and the letters as evidence, he was still so frightened that his heart beat faster, and his temples on both sides also jumped suddenly, and the tragic scene of the Zhao family being thrown into the prison even appeared in his mind.

"Done? Tell me, what do you think? ”

Emperor Longqing saw that Zhao Yongnian was drenched in cold sweat, his face was pale, and a flash of happiness flashed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen deserves death!" Zhao Yongnian folded the fold, carefully put it aside, then fell to the ground with both hands, kowtowed his head vigorously, and suddenly there was a muffled sound in the empty hall, "Weichen has betrayed Your Majesty's trust, and is ashamed of Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty of death." ”

Neither answered Emperor Longqing's question positively, nor cowardly evaded, but just kowtowed vigorously and confessed. This is the method that Zhao Yongnian came up with in a moment, and it is estimated that it is also the best way.

Because Zhao Yongnian also knew that if Emperor Longqing believed the contents of the recital, he would not summon him into the palace late at night, but directly came down with a holy decree and locked their family in prison.

According to his speculation, the reason why Jinshang summoned him to the palace and put on a posture of asking the teacher for guilt should be that he was dissatisfied with him and took the opportunity to beat him up, so that he and the Confucian Chamber of Commerce could take a firm stand.

"Capital offense? Hmph, how dare I sentence you to death? Isn't this offending the gods of wealth in the world? Emperor Longqing snorted coldly and said coldly.

"Weichen doesn't dare, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the president of Weichen is a reward from Your Majesty, if there is no grace from Your Majesty and the great grandfather, how can there be today's Zhao family?"

Zhao Yongnian almost prostrate on the ground, buried his head deep in the ground, and said in fear: "Weichen has no way to teach his son, so that the Zhao family has a rebel like Zhao Tianqing, this rebel is ignorant and stupid, he actually made a mistake with bandits, and was used by traitors to do such wrong things, Weichen is ashamed of His Majesty's grace, ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhao family, please atone for your Majesty!" ”

Hearing Zhao Yongnian's accusation, but in fact, he defended his son, Emperor Longqing showed a sneering smile, and he said lightly, "Oh, since this Zhao Tianqing is so unbearable, why can he become a Confucian businessman with a Xuanzi name, and be nominated as a candidate for the next president?" Could it be that the Confucian Chamber of Commerce has fallen so far that even people with unclear brains can be selected? ”

Zhao Yongnian's fingers clasped the cracks of the floor tiles, and his mind quickly analyzed Emperor Longqing's intention to say this.

While he was thinking, Emperor Long Qing continued: "I heard that the Confucian Chamber of Commerce has not held a council for a long time, does President Zhao feel that the directors are too redundant and should not interfere in the affairs of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yongnian finally understood what Emperor Longqing meant, he bit his lower lip hard, and decided to lose the car to protect the handsome, first keep the foundation of the Zhao family, and his position as the president, and cede the others and others first. I saw him kowtow vigorously, and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty atons for your sins, Weichen will never dare to have such an idea of not being a minister, but the representatives of the council do not live in the capital for a long time, and once the Confucian Chamber of Commerce needs to convene a conference, it is difficult for all the delegates to be present." The minister proposed that on the basis of the representatives of the council, the imperial court should appoint several honorary directors to invite these honorary directors to act on behalf of the board of directors and participate in the discussion of the resolutions of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce whenever there is a major event in the Confucian Chamber of Commerce! ”

When Emperor Longqing heard this, he seemed very interested, and he knocked lightly on the table, "Imperial Court Order? This is not good, after all, the Confucian Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization, and if the government is too deeply involved, it is inevitable-"

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that this proposal has embarrassed you, but it is related to the development of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce and the interests of thousands of merchants in Dazhou, and I ask Your Majesty for permission."

Zhao Yongnian didn't wait for Emperor Longqing to finish his fake politeness, and kowtowed again, sincerely eagerly.

"Well, I'll think again." Emperor Longqing was already choosing a candidate for the honorary director in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface, he pulled the topic back to the fold, "Whether Zhao Tianqing collaborated with the enemy, I have already sent someone to investigate...... I still value your Zhao family very much, I hope he is wronged. ”

Zhao Yongnian closed his eyes abruptly and replied loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." But the minister thought that even if Zhao Tianqing was framed, his intelligence and ability no longer met the requirements of Confucian merchants. The Confucian Chamber of Commerce has decided to convene an extraordinary meeting to discuss the disposition of Zhao Tianqing, and Weichen will definitely handle it impartially and respect the decision of the Council and all Confucian businessmen, please rest assured. ”

In this way, Zhao Tianqing's future was judged, and the Zhao family's power in the Confucian Chamber of Commerce was also eroded by Emperor Longqing little by little. And Zhao Yongnian's plan to let his youngest son join the Confucian Chamber of Commerce also went bankrupt in advance, and Jinshang has made it clear that the Confucian Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to become the second chivalrous league, and the Zhao family will never become the second Li family!

What's more, there is a well-informed Confucian businessman who knows that Zhao Yongnian was reprimanded by Jinshang yesterday, thinking that the Zhao family has lost his holy grace, and began to calculate the throne of the president under Zhao Yongnian's buttocks, such as the one on his right. I saw him smiling and stroking his beard, and greeted Zhao Yongnian affectionately:

"Oh, President Zhao is really selfless, even if it is his own parents who make the mistake, he will never give a light sentence, and he will admire and admire!"

Admire your size!

Zhao Yongnian hooked the corners of his lips, and scolded secretly in his heart, you fucking Cui Changgui, do you think I don't know your mind? If you want to sit in my seat, in the next life!

Standing up slowly, Zhao Yongnian announced the final verdict on behalf of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, and said to Wang Qifang with a gentle attitude: "Zhao Tianqing's matter, thanks to Mrs. Wang's courage to expose, speak up, and maintain the rules of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, Zhao is grateful. Everyone knows that Zhao Tianqing is my son, and many people are worried that Zhao will hate Mrs. Wang, and even announce a personal vendetta against Mrs. Wang......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongnian glanced at the people with different faces, smiled calmly, and said: "Mrs. Wang, just rest assured, Zhao is willing to swear in the name of the ancestors of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family will never embarrass Mrs. Wang in the future. ”

Everyone was still happy about the overthrow of Zhao Tianqing, but after listening to Zhao Yongnian's words, they couldn't help but sigh, and some people even thought that Mrs. Wang's son was not Zhao Yongnian's grandson, even if Zhao Tianqing was overthrown, what if he didn't take those industries from Lao Tzu, and then hand them over to his son, tossing for a long time, isn't it still the old Zhao family? !

What's even more tragic is this, what does this concern them? Thanks to their such a positive response, alas, it is simply harmful to others and not to themselves.

Wang Qifang listened to Zhao Yongnian's words, but she didn't have any worries, because she knew very well in her heart that although her son's surname was Zhao, he would never have the same heart as the Zhao family. Instead of worrying about Zhao Yongnian's few words, it is better to calculate how much benefit you can get from Zhao Tianqing this time.

After the meeting, Zhao Yongnian returned to Furong Fang with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the house, he saw black smoke coming out of the yard, he hurriedly walked a few steps and ran in, grabbed a panicked little guy casually, and asked, "What's the matter?" Where to go to the water. ”

"Return, go back to the master, is it because the second young master's yard is running water, and the girl who escaped said that it was the second young master's Tongfang Shiso who took advantage of the second young grandmother's discussion with Aunt Zheng to lock them in the house, and then, and then poured vegetable oil on the house and lit it......"
