Chapter 112 Father

The embarrassment of the Jinyang palace soon spread all over the court and the opposition, and there was only a kitchen, a rough maid, and an errand boy and an old man guarding the door.

He also said that the king of Jinyang had an illegitimate child who was taken captive, and in order to get the child back, he went bankrupt and paid a ransom.

When Chu Emperor Zhao Luo first heard it, it was just a joke, the imperial brother had been dressed and fed since he was a child, and he was easy-going, but it was impossible to treat himself harshly. The rumors spread more and more, and even the grandson Lao'er looked at him without saying anything, and finally sighed: "The emperor should go to see the king of Jinyang." ”

Zhao Luo couldn't help but be suspicious, could it be that the imperial brother was really in such a predicament?

On this day, after the morning court, he changed into civilian clothes, ordered someone to drive an unmarked car, and rode straight to the Jinyang Palace.

The carriage arrived at the Jinyang Palace, Zhao Luofu got off the car, a pair of eyebrows wrinkled together, the former soldiers at the gate of the palace were nowhere to be seen, he stepped forward, entered the palace without hindrance, took a few steps to the palace, looked back, and saw an old man sitting at the root of the wall was basking in the sun with his eyes closed, thinking of the rumors, Zhao Luo snorted coldly, and flicked his sleeves forward.

Along the way, the garden is barren and overgrown with weeds, which is obviously uncared for for a long time, and I see that the pavilions and pavilions are also rusty, but it is like a haunted house.

Zhao Luo stopped and looked carefully, the pavilion was vaguely in the style of Jiangnan, and the pavilion was also unique to the south, and this was indeed the mansion that he gave to the imperial brother back then.

He was slightly angry, why was the imperial brother's life so difficult?! They didn't even ask him for help!

Zhao Luo walked through the layers of cross-courtyard galleries, and when he arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace, he faintly heard the sound of children reciting books, and carefully identified them, but it was one, two, three, four, he was suspicious, and looked for it along the way, but the sound came from Zhao Yang's study.

He stopped outside the study, looked in from the open window, and saw a boy with a bun with his back to the window, a pile of copper coins in front of him, shaking his head and counting happily, he was puzzled, the imperial brother has never married, where did the child come from, and occupy the imperial brother's study so arrogantly?

Xu felt Zhao Luo's gaze, Wei turned his head, the two looked at each other, they were both surprised, and said in his heart, this person looks like me!

In the flash of light, Zhao Luomao suddenly opened, and he immediately understood that the palace maid who was dragged to the noon gate was saved by the imperial brother, and this child should be his biological son!

Looking at Wei's face that was the same as his own, for a while, Zhao Luo's heart was full of horror and anger, he finally understood his father's mood at this moment, this child is a living proof of his betrayal, he and Wei looked at each other for a long time, stepped into the door without hesitation, stretched out an iron arm to clamp Wei's neck, and actually wanted to strangle this child to death.

"Stop!"

With a broken drink, Zhao Yang rushed in, desperately broke Zhao Luo's hand, and guarded behind him, Zhao Luo's eyes were red, staring at Zhao Yang, and asked, "Who is he?" Isn't it from the girl in that palace? Isn't it my son? ”

Wei covered his throat behind Zhao Yang and coughed for a long time, and immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the word palace maid, oh oh, oh, the old lady is so cunning, it turned out that she pretended to be a palace maid to confuse people.

Zhao Yang puffed up his chest, glared at Zhao Luo angrily, and lost his temper for the first time: "I don't know if he is your son, I only know that he is my nephew!" ”

Wei's little head is running rapidly, how did he change from a nephew to a nephew? Uncle is my mother's younger brother, this guy who seems to be my father and my uncle are brothers, ah, is my mother and my father sisters and brothers?

Wei's eyes widened slightly, Zhao Luo glanced at him with great disgust, and sneered at Zhao Yang: "You'd better be by his side all the time." With that, he turned around and strode away.

Zhao Yang watched Zhao Luo walk away worriedly, squatted down and stroked the bruises on Wei's neck distressedly, lowered his voice and said, "Is Wei'er scared?" ”

Wei raised his head, shook his head resolutely, his eyes were shining, and he asked excitedly, "Uncle, uncle, is that my father?" ”

Zhao Yang was full of sadness, this child has not been loved by his father since he was a child, and he doesn't know if his mother will let him recognize this father in the future, his eyes are slightly wet, he nodded and said: "Yes, it's Wei'er's father, but it doesn't matter, Daddy doesn't want Wei'er, and uncle." ”

To Zhao Yang's surprise, Wei didn't look like he was hit at all, his face was full of longing, his eyes lit up, and he muttered: "I didn't expect me to grow up so handsome." ”

Zhao Yang: "......"

Zhao Luo returned to the palace, went straight back to the dormitory, lingered in front of the small spirit hall for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, but he felt that he had no face to see her now.

He was extremely depressed, called someone to fetch wine, and poured it down one by one, but the more people drank, the more sober they became, Brother Nian has always been loyal, and he knows his taboos very well, how could he let a palace maid sneak in that day? The royal brother has always been kind to him, how could he not hesitate to break up with his brother for the sake of a palace maid?

He threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, slowly stood up, and called out through gritted teeth: "Nian Dagong! ”

She's not dead, she's not dead, she's been lying to him, she's been lying to him! And there is one, Zhao Luo has mixed feelings, I don't know whether he hates more or loves more.

Thinking that he was about to strangle the two of them with his own hands, Zhao Luo was afraid for a while, thinking that the child was exactly the same as he gave birth to, and she gave birth to him, Zhao Luo was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to order, not caring that it was already the third watch in the middle of the night at this time, and decided to visit the Jinyang Mansion again.

Wei Hao was in the middle of his dream, and in his dream, he was standing on top of a glittering gold ingot in a large house with countless gold, silver and jewelry, when suddenly a tall figure appeared and shouted to him: "You little thief, suffer death!" The giant fist smashed head-on, and Wei couldn't dodge it, screaming.

After opening his eyes, Wei's head was drenched in sweat, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his head, and stood in front of the bed Zhao Luo, with a handsome face, staring at him directly, Wei screamed, Zhao Yang Chiluo, who was sleeping next door, immediately rushed in, but saw Zhao Luo blocking the front of the Wei bed, Zhao Yang said angrily: "That's your biological son, do you have to put him to death?!" ”

Zhao Luo didn't hear it, still stared at Wei, and suddenly smiled at Wei, that smile was like the rising sun, Wei held his breath, looked dumbfounded, and said in his heart, it turns out that I have grown up and is more handsome than I thought.

Zhao Luo turned his head, looked directly at Zhao Yang, and asked bluntly, "Where is she?" ”

Zhao Yang was stunned, and then reacted, but Zhao Luo knew that she was not dead, Zhao Yang turned his face away, and asked, "Since you know that Wei'er is her child, what else do you want to do?" ”

Zhao Luo smiled slightly, sat at the head of the bed, touched his little head, and said temptingly: "Is it okay to go home with Daddy?" Daddy has lots and lots of money for you to count. ”

Wei was conquered in an instant, and leaned up like a puppy, clicked his eyes, and asked, "Really?" Really? ”

Zhao Luo squinted with a smile, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Tell Daddy, where is your mother?" ”

Wei Xiao's face wrinkled into a small bag, and he said in embarrassment: "This, you can't use the principal to do business, if you betray your mother's ......" His little head shook like a rattle.

Zhao Luo didn't think so, and was picked up by Wei at the moment, Wei obediently leaned up, buried his face in Zhao Luo's neck, yawned, and quietly went away as a kitten.

Zhao Yang saw that his father and his father were about to walk out of this room, and his heart was empty, and suddenly Wei Tong's voice sounded: "Isn't Uncle coming together?" ”

Zhao Yang immediately followed happily.

Emperor Chu actually had an illegitimate child! The whole dynasty is shaking!

The ministers came one after another, this mother is unknown, how can she inherit the unification, Zhao Luo unceremoniously left all the twists and turns, but anyone who dared to protest above the court was directly imprisoned.

After three or four ministers were imprisoned, killing chickens and monkeys had an effect, and Zhao Luo did not give Wei Zheng's name, so the courtiers and the king reached a tacit understanding and never talked about it again.

A few months later, the ministers and workers of Northern Chu surrounded Prime Minister Gongsun Youbai, "Lord Gongsun, that little is really too lawless, and the ministers of the household department are now all approved by him." ”

"I heard that I recently intervened in the Ministry of Industry again, and the next target is said to be the Ministry of War."

…… The courtiers discussed, the dull bell rang, Zhao Luo was dressed in a dragon robe, majestically ascended the throne, the early dynasty began, and all the ministers looked at the prime minister Gongsun Youbai with resentful eyes, and Gongsun had to step forward.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music, and they impose heavy taxes on those who have more than 100 acres of fertile land, which has aroused the complaints of the people, and it will shake the country's foundation in the long run."

Zhao Luo looked at Gongsun Youbai playfully, and said calmly: "Xiangguo seems to have forgotten that there is another rule, which is exempt from taxes for those whose land is less than three acres. ”

He raised his head and looked at the Hubu Shangshu on the side with burning eyes: "Lord Liu, now my people, how many people have less than three acres of land?" What is more than 100 acres? ”

Liu Yiming, the secretary of the household department, trembled under the gaze of his colleagues, bowed his head and replied: "Under the wise governance of the Holy Lord, now the Northern Chu State is peaceful and peaceful, and only 20% of those who have less than 3 acres of land have it, and about half of those who have more than 100 acres. ”

Zhao Luo nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the ministers with a pair of sharp eyes, and said eloquently: "The number of people in two percent is far more than half of the rich households, and most of the people in these two layers are poor and difficult to maintain food and clothing. The small amount of taxes can be made up from the half-rich households, what else do the secretaries have to say? ”

Gongsun coughed twice, and slapped his eyes to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and the two scholars bowed their heads to study the embroiderers on the corners of the robe, but they didn't see it.
