Chapter 14: The Decree
Zhao Wei is also a smart person, looked at everyone and smiled, walked over to the prince, and whispered to this Zhao Qi and Zhao Tian: "What's the matter!" ”
Zhao Qi ran away nervously and frightened, and said as he ran: "I don't know anything!" ”
Zhao Wei looked at the prince with a nervous face: "His Royal Highness the prince, this ......"
Before he finished speaking, the prince grabbed what Zhao Wei was about to say with one hand.
Someone said, "Your Highness doesn't want this to get out of here." The prince threw down these words, and walked away with a black face and a group of retinues.
Zhao Wei really sweated, his good birthday banquet almost turned into a funeral banquet, and he lost face in front of the major families and people with faces in the capital, which became the biggest joke in the capital! And he was almost beheaded, but fortunately, the prince did not pursue it, and everything was fine.
But when Zhao Wei thought everything was fine, something happened! Early in the morning, the outside was full of officers and soldiers.
A hurried knock on the door broke the approach of the Zhao Mansion, and as soon as the door was opened, groups of officers and soldiers poured in.
"Master Li! What are you doing! Zhao Wei hurriedly ran out while getting dressed.
Li Xun, the secretary of Dali Temple, smiled yin and shook his hands: "By the order of the Empress Dowager, arrest the criminal minister Mingyi Hou Zhao Wei." ”
Zhao Wei's face was gloomy: "I don't know what crime this official has committed!" To arrest the marquis of the former emperor! ”
Li Xun said angrily: "Hehe! Murdering the prince's son and grandson is a big crime of murdering and exterminating the nine clans! How much more is it the crown prince? ”
Zhao Wei's face changed and he sat down on the ground. What's going on? The prince said that if he didn't pursue it, why did the queen mother pursue it.
Li Xun waved his sleeves: "Someone!" Grab them all for me. ”
Zhao Tian, who was still asleep, was set up, and Zhao Tian jumped and jumped: "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”
Soon the news of the Zhao family's imprisonment spread all over the capital, and the Zheng family at this moment was also in a hurry, Zheng Feng, the head of the Zheng family, was the prime minister of the dynasty and the Zheng Guogong of Emperor Taizu, and he was also the brother of Zhao Tian's stepmother Zheng Liu.
The Zhao and Zheng families can be said to be in one breath, and now that the Zhao family is in distress, the Zheng family is naturally restless, and Zheng Feng immediately summoned the ministers of his cronies to enter the palace to face the saint.
In front of the imperial study, Zheng Feng led the ministers, clasped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Feng asks to see Your Majesty!" ”
And an unhurried eunuch came out of it, cocking his orchid fingers, and said in a sissy voice: "Your Majesty is out of the palace, please go back, adults!" ”
Zheng Feng was greatly disgraced, why was His Majesty still there when he was in the early dynasty, why did he leave the palace now? Zheng Feng is the emperor's favorite minister, and the emperor will not avoid him, which really makes him scratch his head.
A minister next to him suddenly said: "Lord Zheng, it's better to go to the Queen Mother!" ”
Zheng Feng scratched his head, the Queen Mother has been interfering in court politics, and once wanted to listen to the government, and the forces on Zheng Feng and Zhao Wei's side are strongly opposing the Queen Mother's approach, presumably this time the Queen Mother is also making trouble! If you go alone, you must be in the middle of it.
Zheng Feng shook his hand again and again: "No!" Cannot! Let me think about it. ”
Suddenly, an official in a red unicorn pattern court uniform came from behind, passing between Zheng Feng and them: "Yo! Master Zheng, what's wrong? The emperor is not here. ”
Zheng Feng made a gesture to show courtesy: "Lord Dongfang! This is where to go. ”
Dongfang Hengsong, the head of the Dongfang family, the father of Dongfang Li and Dongfang Jiujiu, the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, has always been contrary to Zheng Feng's political views.
Dongfang Heng Song looked at Zheng Feng with no one in his eyes: "The Queen Mother summoned her, as if she wanted to discuss who would supervise Zhao Wei's family at three o'clock in the afternoon today." ”
"Isn't the prince already holding it accountable!"
"Huh." Dongfang Hengsong didn't speak, and left with a smile.
"Humph!" Zheng Feng left angrily.
The Queen Mother is going to seize this opportunity to make a big fuss, just to eradicate the Zhao family in one fell swoop, so that her opposition will be greatly reduced, and Zheng Feng is also weak, and the emperor must be supported by them, giving the emperor a first cut and then a prelude, this plan is really ruthless!
In the prison of Dali Temple, Zhao Tian was also helpless, how could he come back to life and die again, and the system disappeared inexplicably, what is the matter.
"Evil obstacles! Don't make a big fuss, you're good! Zhao Wei slapped Zhao Tian in the face angrily, and after the beating, he looked at Zhao Qi viciously, and Zhao Qi hid in Zheng's arms in fright.
"The face of our Zhao family and the foundation of the Zhao family have been ruined in your hands!"
