After the ministers retreated from the court, because the yamen were different, some headed towards Xuandemen and some towards Donghuamen.
With the support of his son, Zhao Yunrang walked out of Xuandemen with heavy steps and boarded the carriage of the palace.
As soon as he sat on it, Zhao Yunrang burst into tears.
In the past thirty years, Zhao Zongyi has never seen his father so sad. He couldn't help but said angrily: "I didn't expect that the man named Han would have such a hatred for us. We are really blind. Yesterday we went to beg him in a humble manner!"
"Nonsense." Zhao Yunrang shook his head and said, "Don't blame Xianggong Han."
"Wrong blame?" Zhao Zongyi glared and said, "My child heard it clearly with his own ears! If he hadn't pushed back and blocked us at first, and then just obstructed us, we would have settled the situation in one fell swoop!"
"It's impossible." Zhao Yunrang sighed and said: "Being a father was also shocking at first, but after thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and the more I admired Mr. Han. He is indeed a great man of his generation. He is so calm and terrifying.
He was able to discern the danger in that environment and help us avoid a fatal blow."
"Father, why is my son so confused?" Zhao Zongyi scratched his head and said, "He is clearly preventing us from recommending Thirteen. How do you think he is helping us?"
"Sometimes, if you don't help, you will help, but if you help, it will harm Shisan." Zhao Yun said, "Don't you notice anything strange about Chuguan's family?"
"What's different?"
"He talks too much." Zhao Yun said: "Since recovering from his illness this spring, he has basically been silent before the court, allowing several princes to lead the court meeting. On average, he can't say more than three and a half sentences in a morning. This time, look at what he said
How many words?”
"It's abnormal." Zhao Zongyi recalled: "What does this mean?"
"This means that he wants to dominate this morning meeting." Zhao Yunrang said with a look of hatred on his face: "He must have known about Zhao Zonghan for a long time, and he also knew that those officials would make trouble in this morning meeting..." Zhao Yunrang said.
Astute, once he calmed down, he discovered that Guan Jia was like a clever hunter, with a clever layout and hidden ambush, waiting for the prey to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"So instead of showing that cheap mercy, he dismissed me from my official position and asked Bao Zheng to continue the investigation. This is not only a signal to remind the gentlemen who are good at observing words and deeds; it is also a foreshadowing for dealing with Thirteen." Zhao Yunrang said.
He clenched his skinny fists so hard that his knuckles turned white: "Today, his intention was to destroy Thirteen!"
"Ah?!" Zhao Zongyi changed his expression and said, "No way!"
"Otherwise, how can we explain that he has obviously taken control of the situation, but yet he uncharacteristically talks about establishing a reserve?" Zhao Yunrang said bitterly: "If it had been so easy earlier, how could it have been delayed until today? So there must be fraud in it!
"
"Is he just waiting for someone to say Thirteen's name?" Zhao Zongyi said horrified.
"That's right. Once Thirteen's name is brought up, in today's situation, he only needs to shake his head slightly to wipe everything out of us." Zhao Yunrang said with a look of fear on his face: "A name that the officials will deny,
It will never be mentioned again in the future!"
"Can he really shake his head?" Zhao Zongyi asked unconvinced.
"It's hard to say." Zhao Yunrang shook his head and said, "But once it is denied, Thirteen will have no chance, and we can't take risks!"
"But if we go by what father said, I'm afraid Thirteen will not be able to please the official family now." Zhao Yun said, "Isn't there little hope for the future?"
"Alas..." Zhao Yunrang sighed and said: "This time, I actually blame me. I really underestimated Zhao Zhen. It turns out that the official I am meeting again is also the emperor, and he will not tolerate his authority being challenged." In fact, it was Zhao Yunrang's long-suppressed revenge.
He ruined it all because he used too much force. He wanted to trample Zhao Heng's son so much that he actually wanted to use public opinion to force Zhao Zhen to nod.
It's tolerable, but who can't be tolerated? Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't tolerate it either. When you can't bear it anymore, there's no need to endure it anymore.
Therefore, the tragedy of Zhao Yunrang and his son was doomed from that moment on.
After listening to his father's words, Zhao Zongyi said in a low voice: "Then is there still hope for the future of Thirteen?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yunrang finally smiled and said: "Ms. Han is in the first year of junior high school. He will be the fifteenth in the future. He is a born winner. Since he dares to bet on the thirteenth, he will definitely not lose in the end."
He sighed deeply and said: "It's just that I may not be able to see that day..."
"Father……"

In Chen Ke's room of the Chen family.
Being left by his boss to go home until the fourth watch, Chen Ke fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.
Just as he was sleeping in the dark, the door was pushed open suddenly. Zhao Zongji rushed in, opened his quilt excitedly and said: "Don't sleep, don't sleep... Damn it, why are you not wearing anything!"
"Do you feel inferior after seeing such a good figure?" Chen Ke smiled, pulled the quilt back, wrapped his lower body and sat up and said, "What's the good news?"
"What great news!" Zhao Zongji said with uncontrollable excitement: "Today in the court meeting, officials and officials were appointed, but no one dared to mention Zhao Zongshi's name!"
"Anyone who can become a leader is not stupid." Chen Ke said indifferently: "Who doesn't know how to adapt to the wind?"
"Also, my uncle Wang no longer knows Zongzheng Temple, and my father will take his place." Zhao Zongji said excitedly. This is very important to him, because Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the clan surnamed Zhao. The clan's salary is a certain amount of money, food, and salary.
The promotion of Xijue, as well as birth, old age, illness and death, are all subject to the control of this yamen. Zhao Yunrang served as Da Zongzheng for ten years. I don’t know how many people he bought by pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. I don’t know how many people flattered Zhao Zongshi in order to curry favor with him, which raised Zhao Zongshi’s reputation.
stand up.
Looking back at Zhao Zongji, as many people flatter Zhao Zongshi, there are as many people who run against him. In an environment where no matter what he does, he will be demoted to be worthless, even if he wants to kill the thief, he has no way to save himself. He can only pretend to be crazy and stupid.
, silently looking up at Zhao Zongshi’s back.
Now that the situation was reversed, Zhao Zongji asked for nothing else. As long as he could be fairly evaluated in the future, he would be satisfied.
"Congratulations to your father, and congratulations to you too." Chen Ke hugged the quilt and said, "If there is any other good news, please share it with me. Then we will go to dinner. Of course you treat us."
"There is one last one," Zhao Zongji said with an embarrassed smile: "Today I went to pay my respects to the official, and he told me to calm down and get ready to go to school in a few days."
"Go to school?" Chen Ke asked curiously: "You are so old, what school do you go to?"
"The officials said that they would open a royal school for the children of the clan and invite the best teachers to teach us. After we complete our studies, we may be allowed to take the imperial examination or even be officially released as officials!" Zhao Zongji said excitedly: "Finally, we will be allowed to take the imperial examination.
Can you tell me how I can be unhappy when I see the hope of getting out of prison?"
"This is obviously a delaying tactic to silence the public," Chen Ke shook his head and said, "How many years does it take to study? How many years does it take to practice? This amount of time is enough for the officials to sow and harvest, and give birth to a real prince."
"Didn't you mean..." Zhao Zongji said in a low voice.
"Please, I'm not sure either." History has changed quietly, and Chen Ke didn't dare to say what would happen.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Zongji looked at it openly and said, "As long as I can no longer be a rice bug, I will be satisfied!"
"The requirements are not high." Chen Ke laughed and said: "Keep this mentality, because you will face a protracted competition, and every pregnancy of the concubines will be a nightmare for you, and you may not be able to wake up.
The kind that comes here. This requires a lot of nerves to persevere!"
"Why do I think you are gloating about your misfortune?" Zhao Zongji scolded with a smile.
"Yes." Chen Ke put on his clothes, put on his shoes and said, "It's just a friendly reminder."
"But to be honest." Zhao Zongji looked deeply at Chen Ke and said, "I really shouldn't thank you enough!" Without Chen Ke's support and planning, he would not have been able to survive this desperate situation and turn the impossible into possible.
"My brother, why are you so polite?" Chen Ke said with a smile: "Besides, I am also protecting myself. If Zhao Zongshi becomes the prince, my Chen family will have no choice but to avoid trouble overseas."
"Thank you cannot be just words." Zhao Zongji shook his head and said: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a restaurant, have a meal, and then take you somewhere."
"I am very serious now." Before the Spring Festival, Chen Ke did not dare to go to Huajie and Liuxiang anymore, lest he teach others what to do.
"Fuck you!" Zhao Zongji said depressedly: "I don't even dare to set foot in that kind of place!"
"Then you are more pitiful than me. I am a man with a term, but you are without a term." Chen Ke washed his face, combed his hair in the mirror and said, "I am so depressed. You said that a grown man should have such long hair?
You are not allowed to wear it loosely. You have to comb your hair for a long time like a girl every day. I don’t know what my ancestors thought."
"Does your body, hair, and skin depend on your parents?" Zhao Zongji said with a smile.
"The nails on your hands and feet are also from your parents. Why don't you keep them on all the time?" Chen Ke curled his lips and said.
"Isn't this an argument? With such long nails, I don't need to wear shoes or use my hands anymore?" Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue, I know what to give you!" He said with a smile.
Said: "You said that you are a rich man, a great talent, and now a great celebrity, but you don't have anyone to wait on you. Is this appropriate?"
"My father-in-law believes in 'doing it yourself'. We are not allowed to hire manpower before we are twenty years old."
"You are twenty-one now."
"Isn't this always something that I haven't taken into consideration?" Chen Ke smiled and said, "Why, are you going to give me some maids from the palace?"
"It's okay to give you a few, but you can't tell whether there are spies from the Imperial City Department among them."
"I think I'd better find it myself."
"Yeah." Zhao Zongji said, "That's what I mean too. I'll take you to the market later and help you choose a few that you like."
"You seem to be very experienced."
"Haha..." Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "I have only been serious for a few days."
