Chapter 114: Home and Country (3)
Zhou Xiuniang's family came in, Dong Songchen followed, and Zhou Xiuniang's face was full of doubts.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Yang Meiren? Why is there so much anger? ”
Zhao Hong stood up and shook his head.
"Nothing? Why are you free today, and my mother-in-law is also here. ”
Today, Zhou Ping and his mother-in-law Zhou Gao are here, I don't know if it's for his brother-in-law.
"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins!"
Zhou Xiuniang knelt down, Zhou's mother and son continued to kneel, Zhao Hong felt it and helped everyone up.
"What's going on? Why are you all sad, is something happened to Zhou An again? ”
Thinking of his brother-in-law, Zhao Hong couldn't help but have a headache.
Because of the verbal collision in the spring of last year, he was angry and asked Zhou An to go to Jinling to lecture on martial arts for further study. As a result, Zhou An did not go, and was still in Lin'an Mansion, happy and happy.
Zhou's mother and son looked at each other, Zhou Gao's face was embarrassed, and he nodded at his daughter.
"Xianggong, it's my father. He's ...... outside."
Zhou Xiuniang's face was flushed and she couldn't speak.
"Tarzan?"
Zhao Hong looked at his mother-in-law who was frowning in surprise, and understood a little in his heart.
"Big brother, what's wrong with Old Tarzan? Murder and arson? ”
Seeing that the Zhou family wanted to speak and stopped, their faces were embarrassed, and it was estimated that the father-in-law was a romantic affair such as "red apricots out of the wall", there should be no other reason.
"Your Majesty, there was no murder and arson. My father was with an official prostitute who had just been dismissed, and now he lived in the attic of the official prostitute, and no one persuaded him to go home, and he didn't care about the business of the shipping company. None of us can help it. ”
Sure enough, Zhou Ping's face darkened and he said something stupid.
Zhao Hong nodded slightly. Sure enough, as he expected, the old man was full of spring and let himself go.
"It's shameful to be old and shameless!"
Mother-in-law Zhou Gao couldn't help it, and came out in a low voice with a black face.
"Your Majesty, my father did this ugly thing and got it in the newspaper, which really embarrassed Your Majesty!"
Zhou Xiuniang finally got to the root.
Zhao Hong glanced at Zhou Ping, the two looked at each other, and Zhao Hong instantly understood a little.
It seems that his father-in-law was targeted by someone with a heart in order to block him.
"Xiuniang, eldest brother, Lao Taishan is your father after all, and anger can't solve the problem. As for affecting me, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Zhao Hong laughed, and when he saw his mother-in-law's sad face, he quickly put away his smile, and his face was full of seriousness.
"What's the use of complaining? Since it has been published in the newspapers, it should be regarded as promoting the good governance of the imperial court. Look, do you want me to let the forbidden army go and arrest Old Taishan and lock him up for a few days? ”
When Zhou Guozhang derailed the Qinglou, the remnants of the willows were defeated.
This title is eye-catching.
However, the old father-in-law's family of three all went out, obviously not for the old father-in-law's red apricot to go out of the wall, but because he was worried that he would be angry.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. The Zhou family also began to suffer from gains and losses.
"Your Majesty, no need! No more! ”
Zhou Gao hurriedly waved his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, we won't bother. You don't have to work too hard. ”
was originally afraid that this matter would make Zhao Hong angry, as for her husband Zhou Jiacheng, she was looking for fun. I don't know what kind of man my man is.
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. After a few days outside, Tarzan will come back. As for me, put a hundred hearts! ”
Zhao Hong relieved the mother and son of the Zhou family, and secretly shook his head in his heart.
Compared with the Zhou family, Yang Yi is too ignorant of the importance of following the rules.
Zhou's mother and son were relieved, they got up and were about to leave, and Zhao Hong also stood up to send them off, and suddenly his mind was excited.
"Big brother, wait a minute!"
"Your Majesty, what else is going on?"
Zhou Ping was shocked, stopped and turned his head.
Brother-in-law doesn't want to be angry, right?
Zhou's mother and daughter left with interest, and Zhao Hong returned to the topic.
"Big brother, you just said that my father-in-law was entangled with an official prostitute who had just been dismissed. What does this just mean? ”
"Your Majesty, the official prostitute was only released from her lowly status a few years ago. Gao Dingzi implemented a new policy on Liangzhejiang Road, and the court officials disobeyed the yang and the yin, and some of them openly obstructed. ”
Zhou Ping looked at Zhao Hong, and there seemed to be another deep meaning in his eyes.
"Are all their crimes confirmed?"
Zhao Hong held back the anger in his heart and whispered.
When it comes to cultivating qi, he has a fierce personality and seems not very suitable for politics, let alone becoming a national leader.
"Your Majesty, eight or nine are not far from ten. Are they all going to be arrested? ”
"What a bold man!"
Zhao Hong waved his hand and returned to his chair and sat down.
"No, continue to sit on the evidence, don't startle the snake."
Liangzhejiang Road has implemented the new policy for a year, why did the official prostitute change to a good register, and it was just completed a year ago?
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the implementation of the new policy was so slow, and now it jumped up and down again, preventing him from waving his troops north.
The power of conservatives is huge, and the dog's guts are even more overwhelming.
The guards came in to report that Xu Liang wanted to see him.
"Your Majesty, do you want to rest and let Deputy Director Xu go back first?"
Dong Songchen looked at Zhao Hong's face ugly, and he spoke cautiously.
The emperor is fighting with his ministers for power, one person singles out several people, and the ancestral family law is restrained, as she herself said, dancing in shackles.
However, with the emperor's fierceness and ruthlessness, it is estimated that he will not bow his head easily.
"Let him in."
Zhao Hong shook his head and leaned back in his chair.
At this juncture, will this general of the Liangzhejiang Road Anti-Corruption Division bring him some unexpected surprises, so that he can prescribe the right medicine and eliminate all the ghosts, snakes, and gods?
"Your Majesty, you have an old man who asks to see her outside the palace, I wonder if you want to see her?"
Xu Liang came in and said to Zhao Hong, looking a little weird.
Old friend?
Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing that Xu Liang didn't smile on his face, he smiled.
"The old people are reunited, of course we have to meet."
As the head of the Anti-Corruption Division of Liangzhejiang Road, Xu Liang will not bring irrelevant people at this time, but he doesn't know where it is sacred?
"Xu Ji has seen Your Majesty!"
The old man came in and bowed frequently, and his demeanor was still the same.
"Xu Ji, long time no see! You okay? ”
Zhao Hong was full of emotion. The woman in front of her is still the same, she was once her own woman, but there are many colors of wind and dust on her face.
It is not easy for anyone in the earthly world.
"Xu Ji, don't you have something to see Your Majesty? Just play it. ”
Xu Liang cleared his throat and said.
Pretend to be a ghost!
Zhao Hong glanced at Xu Liang. This guy is still doing these things at this time, doesn't he think he is not messy enough?
The beauties of the harem already have four people, Zhou Xiuniang, Yang Yi, Cuizhu, and Li Weiming, plus Jia Bijin, who is about to enter the palace, and there are already five concubines.
If there is another Xu Ji, it will be a line of six.
"Your Majesty is concerned, the slave and maid are all right. The slave and maid asked to see Your Majesty today because there was no way, and there was a line between life and death, so she had to come and ask to see Your Majesty. ”
Xu Ji cautiously peeked at Zhao Hong and quickly withdrew her gaze.
Today's Zhao Hong is different from the past, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, decisive killing, Shi Miyuan's fate is proof. Besides, Zhao Hong has a lot of opportunities, and she has no time to waste on her trivial matters. can listen to her, it is already burning high incense.
She was actually nervous in her heart, whether Zhao Hong would hold a grudge or not, whether she would hold back it, she didn't know. But she had no choice but to hope that Zhao Hong would be gracious.
"Xu Ji, don't be restrained, just say it."
Unexpectedly, Xu Ji came to beg him for an errand. It seems that he has wronged Xu Liang, and he will be wrong.
It's a bit embarrassing, but luckily others don't know.
"Your Majesty, the slave has something to say to Your Majesty. The slave maid once deceived His Majesty, aided in the abuse, and asked His Majesty to punish him. ”
Xu Ji said and knelt on the ground, looking sincerely frightened.
"Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and leaned back in his chair.
What Xu Ji asked, he didn't know. But what Xu Ji wants to confess is probably the old story of "undercover" in the Jeguo Mansion back then.
To be honest, he no longer resents anyone back then, and there is no need for that at all. Put herself in the shoes of an official prostitute who is powerless and at the mercy of others, does she have a choice?
"Your Majesty, when I was in the Jiguo Mansion, the slave maid was assigned by Shi Miyuan to confuse Your Majesty, act as a detailed work for Shi Miyuan, and secretly monitor Your Majesty's every word and deed. Your Majesty wants to kill or chop, and the slave and maid are willing to accept the guilt! ”
Sure enough, Xu Ji didn't hide it at all, and told all the secrets of the year.
Looking at her slightly trembling body, it seems that she is really panicked, not pretending.
After all, the current Zhao Hong is full of words, and her life and death are only in Zhao Hong's thoughts.
"Xu Ji, forget the past. You didn't come today to ask me for your sins, did you? ”
Zhao Hong is simple and direct, no longer going around in circles.
It's hard to be a weak woman who can't help herself, and it's his former pillow person, he really doesn't have this mind.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is here today to save the slave maid's sister. Please be gracious and save her! ”
Sister? Xu Ji never seemed to mention it in front of him, and she also had an older sister.
It seems that Xu Ji has hidden a lot of things in her heart before.
Zhao Hong was still pondering, and Xu Ji couldn't wait to plead on the ground again.
"Your Majesty, as long as you can rescue your sister, the slave and maid will be at your Majesty's disposal, and you will be willing."
"Xu Ji, you came here today, and you can be regarded as a loyal person. I want to ask you, are you willing to be Shi Miyuan's accomplice, or are you involuntarily? ”
Seeing Xu Ji's pitiful appearance, Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel compassion.
In front of beautiful women, he doesn't seem to have any lethality, and he is easily moved by the other party, whether it is sweet words or not.
"Your Majesty, Shi Miyuan coerced and lured the slave's family, and the slave and maid had no choice. Please Your Majesty kill the slave and maid first, and then save my sister! ”
Xu Ji said, kowtowing frequently, and Zhao Hong smiled bitterly.
"Xu Ji, it doesn't have to be like this. You stand up, sit down and talk slowly, and see if I can really help? ”
Zhao Hong waved his hand, and his eyes gestured to Xu Liang on the side.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The slave and the maid obey the order, and the slave and the maid will come together one by one. ”
Xu Liang hurried over and helped Xu Ji up. Xu Ji cautiously sat down on the chair next to her, and 1510 spoke.
