"Did you see what happened just now?"

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, seeing Wang Lux walking in, Zhao Chongyuan raised his head leisurely and looked at Lux with a slightly cold expression.

Hearing this, Wang Lishi's expression was slightly dark, and he nodded and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave understands it." ”

"And what do you think?"

Zhao Chongyuan asked again.

"The old slave doesn't know."

Wang Lishi shook his head and replied.

"Ugh."

Hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan also sighed.

Don't you know?

I really don't know!

Even he doesn't know it!

Although Wang Lishi didn't say anything, he actually made it very clear.

This matter involves the king of Xiangnan and King Qi Si, especially the king of Xiangnan, and he Zhao Chongyuan himself is a little tricky.

On the one hand, it is the law of the country, but on the other hand, it is the family rule, and it is even more unrequited.

And right now, Zhou Shan and Zhou Xing are biting to death the King of Xiangnan and King Qi Si.

If he, Zhao Chongyuan, deals with it impartially, then the only bloodline left by his own mother's brother in this world will be cut off in his hands.

But the problem is that if he doesn't deal with it impartially.

How do you explain to the people of the world?

"Alas!"

"Alas!"

"Alas!"

Zhao Chongyuan sighed three times.

The already slightly old face was full of sadness at the moment.

"Call King Yan over, I need to ask him something."

After a while, he waved his hand weakly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Lishi saluted respectfully.

Then he slowly withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Watching Wang Lishi leave, Zhao Chongyuan sighed again, stood up and walked to the depths of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked at a black iron bow hanging on the wall next to his dragon case, and sighed leisurely: "Seventh brother, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Ugh."

After finishing speaking, another long sigh sounded in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Let go of the king of Xiangnan and the king of Qi Si, and take care of family affection, it will be difficult to support the national law, and all the cadres such as Zhou Xing and Wang Xi must be dealt with lightly.

But in this way, if you don't kill a hundred people, how can you deter those small ones?

Deterring the small is one thing, but what is even more serious is that under such an upward and downward effect, he has spent half his life painstakingly sorting out the rule of the big cadres who have only improved slightly, and the atmosphere of the big cadres officialdom will be completely corrupted by this point.

"Zhou Shan, Zhou Shan, you really have a problem for me."

After a long time, Zhao Chongyuan sighed again.

But the eyes are full of unprecedented killing opportunities.

Zhou Shan wanted to kidnap him Zhao Chongyuan with this matter, did he really think that he Zhao Chongyuan was a paper pinch?

The cheating in the imperial examination, the arrest of Zhou Xing, Wang Xi, King Xiangnan, King Qi Si and other officials swept the entire Daqian court as quickly as a gale.

The entire Daqian court was in an uproar.

No one thought that the king of Shonan would be involved.

……

"Well, let me be right, I said that the water of this scientific test is very deep."

Inside the palace of King Wei.

Zhao Jin, Zhao Chen, and Zhao Yu formed a group.

Zhao Jin looked at the two of them with a smug expression.

"Seventh, tell our brothers, did you receive any news before this?"

Listening to Zhao Chen's words.

Zhao Yu, who was teasing the maid on the side, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand, and his eyes were also a little curious.

Zhao Jin had said this before the scientific examination began.

They didn't care at the time.

After all, if you dare to cheat in the imperial examination, this is eating the heart of a bear and a leopard's gall.

Nine heads are not enough to kill.

I never thought that someone would actually do it, and they also involved the king of Shonan.

It's really interesting.

In particular, Zhao Ding presided over this matter, and the reform of the imperial examination was also handled by Zhao Ding.

If this matter is not handled by him, Zhao Ding will not be able to handle it, and the scene will be beautiful at that time.

Especially this also involves the only son of the old King Xiangnan, the old King of Xiangnan.

Even his son Zhao Chongyuan is difficult to do.

After all, this great cadre has the current situation of official governance and stability.

Half of the credit belongs to the old Xiang King who worked hard for the great effort and boiled himself to death in the prime of life!

So no matter how this matter is handled, Zhao Ding will not be able to reap any benefits.

If you win the hearts of the people, you will lose the favor of your father.

But if it is not handled impartially.

The efforts made by Zhao Ding before will eventually become a joke.

"News, no news, it's not important, the important thing is that I'm curious about the expression on Lao Jiu's face now."

Zhao Jin laughed, and then said: "Moreover, I heard that when entering the palace to face the saint, Zhou Xing and Wang Xi bit to death This is the mastermind of the king of Xiangnan and the king of Qi Si, as long as Zhou Xing and Wang Xi do not let go, it is extremely difficult for the father to deliberately want to be partial."

So, Lao Jiu lost face in this matter, and he lost it! ”

"Eh, you say, King Qi Si, let's not mention it, he didn't leave him anything, except for a title, nothing else matters, but the king of Xiangnan, but the only son of the sixth emperor uncle, was raised by our old man since he was a child.

Although he is the king of the county, in terms of treatment, he is no worse than our own sons.

What the hell is he trying to do?

Just for that bit of silver, right? ”

Zhao Chen touched his chin and looked at Zhao Jin and Zhao Chen with some suspicion.

"Relying on my father's favor."

Zhao Jin pursed his lips and said with a look of disgrief.

The old Xiang King died early, Zhao Kang has been growing up in the palace, plus he has not been able to win the throne since he was a child, and the love of the old Xiang King, so Zhao Chongyuan is a first-class good for this nephew.

It's just that these princes can't compare.

It is precisely this that has created Zhao Qing's lawless temperament.

"But it's okay, it's a loss, otherwise, when will my father notice our brothers."

Zhao Chen said with emotion.

Although several of them are also Zhao Chongyuan's sons, since they were children, Zhao Chongyuan only had Prince Yiwen in his eyes, and now they finally survived until Prince Yiwen died, but they didn't expect to kill Zhao Ding halfway.

……

"Here we are."

Daqian Palace, in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhao Chongyuan slowly raised his head.

In just half a day, the whole person seems to be dozens of years old, and there is a twilight all over his body.

"I was tired just now, squinted for a while, I dreamed of your sixth uncle, he is so young, and your father is already old."

Zhao Chongyuan smiled self-deprecatingly.

The so-called sixth uncle is naturally the old Xiang King, the father of the King of Xiangnan.

"Your sixth uncle, younger than us, after your imperial grandmother gave birth to me, it took several years to conceive him, when he was born, he was bigger, white and pure, like a girl, so your imperial grandmother gave him a nickname.

When I was a child, studying in the university hall, your fourth uncle always bullied us, it was your sixth uncle who helped you fight with me, and several children beat him alone, but he was not convinced, so he grabbed your fourth uncle with all his might, biting and grabbing.

I don't have the temper of your sixth uncle.

As soon as they beat me, I directly confessed, and then secretly ran to find your imperial grandmother, and after your imperial grandmother knew, she took people out of the harem and ran to the university hall.

And guess what?

Your sixth uncle didn't do anything, but your fourth uncle was caught by your sixth uncle.

Your imperial grandfather favored Concubine Hui, and developed the arrogant and domineering temperament of Concubine Hui, and saw that your fourth uncle was caught by your sixth uncle's face full of flowers, so he angrily took someone to Youlan Palace to settle accounts with your imperial grandmother.

Your imperial grandmother's temper is exactly the same as your sixth uncle, and she even beat Concubine Hui for three or seven twenty-one.

In the end, this matter came to the imperial grandfather's side, your imperial grandfather ignored the government and family affairs, and was bent on superstitious warlocks and wanted to live forever, but in the end, he was also troubled by the concubine Hui, and made a decree to confine your imperial grandmother and your sixth uncle and your father and me in Youlan Palace.

We couldn't go out for two months, and we only asked the eunuchs and palace maids to bring us food, and nothing else.

But this is the Imperial Palace.

Here are the smartest people and the most vicious people.

Your imperial grandmother is in solitary confinement, although it is two months, but what if your imperial grandfather forgets? That could be a lifetime.

So, ah, the concubine who has lost her power is not as good as a dog.

Those palace maids and little eunuchs are respectful to your imperial grandmother, your father, and your sixth uncle on weekdays, but once they lose their power, they will completely change.

That Concubine Hui didn't dare to harm us, but secretly bought off the little eunuch and gave us rancid, not to mention the smell at that time, even now, you feel disgusting when I think about it.

Your imperial grandmother was afraid that we would not have to eat and hurt our bodies, so they sold their jewelry and bought the palace maid to exchange food for us, a pack of corn noodles, and only a few copper coins, but they actually asked your imperial grandmother for a golden hairpin.

Just like that, your imperial grandmother also endured it.

can't stand the palace maid's black heart, giving you the imperial milk is moldy corn noodles, and there are rice worms on it.

Your imperial grandmother didn't say anything, but said that the phoenix that had lost its power was not as good as a chicken, so she took out the moldy corn noodles and made a corn bun for me and your sixth uncle.

To be honest, your imperial grandmother's skills are really poor, but your sixth uncle is really not a picky eater, and he ate three of the raw corn flour buns, and then had diarrhea, hahahaha. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyuan laughed.

But Zhao Ding listened to it in his heart, but it was not a taste.

Because both the sixth uncle and the imperial grandmother have passed away,

"Alas, what are you talking about, old, old."

Zhao Chongyuan smiled abruptly.

"Father."

Zhao Ding opened his mouth.

"There are no outsiders here, let's call Dad."

"Yes, Father... Father. ”

Zhao Ding subconsciously replied, but changed his words halfway through.

"You say what if, I say what if."

Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding and opened his mouth, like a child, looking at Zhao Ding with a little weakness.

"Dad, the law of the country is the law of the country, and the rules of the family are the rules of the family."

Zhao Ding corrected.

Although his father didn't say it explicitly, Zhao Ding naturally understood what his father was going to say.

"Bastard, you're here to teach you a lesson?"

Zhao Chongyuan was furious, but soon his momentum dropped again, and his eyes looked at Zhao Ding with a rare hint of cowardice: "Do you really want your sixth uncle to stay in this world's only bloodline like this?"

Gone? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly became sad.

There was a trace of tears in his eyes.
