Chapter 341 The image of objects is invisible (Part 2)
"Dead?" Zhao Zhen was surprised and asked, "How did you die?"
"The old slave was not present at the time. He got the news and rushed over, only to see that he was purple all over and already dead." Li Jihe reported back: "The person in charge of the interrogation said that he couldn't find anything out through cross-examination, so he used some torture. Who
I don’t know whether he had a hidden disease or was frightened, but he ran out of breath in a few seconds..."
"What does the Imperial City Secretary do for food?" Hu Yandui scolded: "You can let such an important prisoner die!"
"I have detained everyone present at the time. If there is any problem, I will definitely find out." Li Jihe said harshly.
"It can't be found out." Zhao Zhen said with a deep sarcasm on his face: "It seems that no matter what kind of copper or iron wall, there are people who can see the sky with their hands and eyes..."
"Old slave, I will definitely get to the bottom of this!" Li Jihe said bitterly.
"Go." Zhao Zhen nodded.
"Is this the end of it?" After Li Jihe retreated, Hu Yanduiyu said unjustly.
"We must investigate." Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and said, "But nothing can be found..."
"It's so easy to catch a clue." Hu Yandui said angrily: "Just like that, it was broken again!"
"It's not in vain." Zhao Zhen said lightly: "At least let me know that among those five nephews, there is a beast with a human face and a beast heart." His tone became more and more serious, and when he said the last two words, he held his hands tightly.
His knuckles turned white as he pressed the sheets. He just heard him say word by word: "How can I leave all the people in the world into the hands of such a person!"
"Yes." Hu Yandui was stunned for a while, and he lowered his head and replied... The official had no sleep that night, and he didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch. Fortunately, the next day was not a day for going to court, so Hu Yandui didn't wake him up early in the morning.
When Zhao Zhen woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When he was having breakfast, he asked Hu Yandui: "My old brother..."
"I haven't come to announce my funeral yet," Hu Yandui said softly.
"He won't be able to rest in peace until I find out the imperial edict." Zhao Zhen said calmly.
Hu Yandui's heart trembled when he heard this. He took a peek and found that the emperor today was much colder and tougher than last night.
"Liu Chang, a Hanlin scholar, has been waiting outside for a long time." Hu Yandui hesitated and then reported.
Liu Chang came in. After bowing politely, Zhao Zhen asked, "Ai Qing came here so early. What's the matter?"
"I heard that yesterday, the official family adopted Zhao Zongshi, the thirteenth son of the king of Runan County, as his heir." Liu Chang said calmly: "So come here quickly to prepare for the official family's needs." Hanlin bachelor, also called internal control, drafts edicts for the emperor.
of.
"It is indeed the case, but there is no need to be in such a hurry." Zhao Zhen looked at him and said, "You go back first. When I need to prepare something, I will naturally ask someone to invite you."
"This is a major matter for the country." Liu Chang insisted: "There can be no delay at all."
"Just because it is a major event for the country," Zhao Zhen said lightly, "I have to be cautious." He paused and said, "Ai Qing, come over in the afternoon, okay?"
"This...is." Liu Chang couldn't act too anxious, as that would be too revealing, so he had no choice but to retreat in dismay.
As soon as Liu Chang left, Zhao Zhen said to Hu Yandui: "Go and invite Duke Xu, the king of Beihai County, to come." He paused and said, "Invite Zong Ji, Zong E, and Zong You from ancient times."
"Yes." Hu Yandui knew that the officials must have countermeasures, so he didn't dare to ask in detail, so he hurriedly sent someone to call for others separately.
Most of these people were at the Runan Prince's Mansion, waiting to see off the old prince on his last journey. I thought that Zhao Yunrang would not be able to survive last night, but who knew that after staying up all night, he was still breathing after three poles today.
Everyone knew what the old man was waiting for, so as soon as there was movement at the door, they all looked eagerly, waiting and waiting, and finally saw Li Xian's figure.
"Your Majesty has a decree." Li Xian puffed out his chest and said.
"Please go to work and wait a moment." Zhao Zongyi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "The Han family will place an incense case to receive the order."
"No need." Li Xian said with a strange expression, "It's just oral instructions."
"Ah?" Zhao Zongyi was stunned. The imperial edict to adopt Zhao Zongshi as the prince could not be an oral edict.
"Your Majesty has a decree," Li Xian bypassed him, turned to Zhao Yunbi, Zhao Chengjian and others and said: "Xu Guogong, Prince of Beihai County, is here to see you. Zhao Zongyou, Zhao Zonge, Zhao Zongji, Zhao Chonggu are here to see you immediately..."
After saying that, he clasped his fists at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone happens to be here, please, everyone..."
Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, wondering what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd. Then look at Li Xian, who has already turned around and gone out, waiting outside the Moon Gate Cave.
"The officials summoned him," everyone naturally respected the King of Beihai County. He looked at Zhao Zongyi and said, "We'll go over first."
Zhao Zongyi had an ominous premonition in his heart and nodded numbly: "Yes..."
In order to grasp the first-hand information, Zhao Zongyou ignored his father and followed him into the palace to see him... The six of them arrived at Funing Palace in confusion.
Zhao Zhen was seen wearing a black casual robe and sitting on the dragon chair.
After the great ceremony and worship, Zhao Zhen gave Zhao Yunbi and Zhao Cheng simple seats.
The two thanked each other again, and Zhao Yunbi clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, why you have summoned your ministers so urgently?"
"That's it." Zhao Zhen said with a faint smile: "I thought about it all night last night and felt that what I, Brother Wang of Runan, said was right. I am getting older and I don't have any children around me to talk to, so I am really lonely. "
"That's right." Zhao Chengjian said: "Didn't the Guan family already adopt Zong Shi?"
"There is still one child less, and more people are more lively." Zhao Zhen said unconvincingly: "Zong Shi also has to have a companion, right?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zhao Zongyou, and Zhao Zongji and others said: "These days We all love this child from the bottom of our hearts and would like to adopt him, what do you think?"
As soon as the official said this, the whole place was shocked, and everyone's expressions were wonderful. There were surprises, surprises, and panic... Your sister, is Zhao Zongshi thirty or three years old? He still needs a companion?
Did the officials do this intentionally?
"Why, Brother Wang can't bear to leave?" Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Yunbi and asked.
"How dare you, the humble minister?" Zhao Yunbi calmed down and said quickly: "Brother Wang of Runan took the lead last night, and the humble minister realized that he had taken care of his own family happiness, but forgot about the official family, and he regretted it endlessly." He said at once: "It's just that Zong Ji is stupid and stubborn, and he is afraid of making the officials angry."
"Well, Zong Ji has grown up," Zhao Zhen said with a smile, "Besides, I like his fierce spirit." The matter was settled.
In addition to Zhao Zongji, Zhao Conggu and Zhao Zonge's fathers have all passed away for many years. As long as Zongzheng Temple agrees, Zhao Yunbi will naturally not object.
Zhao Zongyou was left, but he had to go back to ask his father for instructions.
"Go." Zhao Zhen looked at him lovingly and said, "Your father will definitely agree."
Because Zhao Yunrang might return to the west at any time, everyone retreated and rushed back to the Runan Palace.
After coming out of Funing Palace, everyone's mood was very different. Zhao Yunbi, Zhao Zongji, Zhao Conggu, and Zhao Zonge had to strain hard to hold back their happy smiles. Zhao Chengjian was secretly speechless. He thought that Prince Runan would It was cruel enough, but who knew that the officials were not bad at all, and they easily eliminated the "power" that Zhao Yunrang had worked so hard to create.
I really didn’t expect that Guan Jia would have a hidden needle in his skin, but this needle was hidden too deep...
As for Zhao Zongyou's mood, it was quite complicated. On the one hand, he was frightened by the official family and why he wanted to change it to "Five Sons". On the other hand, he was also a little happy that he had become a prince now. Who knew what would happen? Won't you open another grand prize and let the crown fall on your head?
Before they even left the Funing Palace, the news was quickly conveyed to the Runan Palace by the God of Ear Report.
If Zhao Zongyi was struck by lightning, he quickly went to bed to report to his father.
In the inner room, there were only Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Zongshi. The former was lying quietly, while the latter was sitting by the bed, anxiously guessing what had happened.
As soon as Zhao Zongyi reported the matter, both father and son looked pale at the same time. Zhao Yunrang's deathly gray face turned red, and his mouth was wide open, breathing in but not out.
Zhao Zongyi hurriedly gave his father some relief, but Zhao Zongshi sat there motionless, his handsome face twisted and ferocious, and turned green as he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you have been tricked by Zhao Zhen!"
These are lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious. Yesterday, Zhao Yunrang used various methods to finally let Zhao Zhen adopt Zhao Zongshi. But after one night, before issuing the edict, Zhao Zhen actually adopted the other four. Although Zhao Zongshi was still the prince, But in terms of age, he can only rank third, and there is no specialness at all.
How to convince others that the position of crown prince belongs to him?
Needless to say, Zhao Yunrang was also filled with the humiliation of being fooled. The old prince felt that his throat was surging, as if fire was shooting out. He opened his mouth wide, but could not spit out a word...
Seeing that his father's old face was bruised from suffocation and his lips were turning black, Zhao Zongshi panicked and quickly called the imperial doctor to come in. After struggling for a long time, the old prince coughed up a mouthful of phlegm.
After checking their pulse, the imperial doctor called their brothers aside and secretly said: "It's really not possible this time. If you have anything to say, please tell the prince quickly..."
It turned out that Zhao Yunrang, who had been holding on to his words out of shame and anger, finally dissipated. Seven souls left the Dingmen, and he was about to return to the west.
But at this time, his mind was very clear... This was a real flashback, not the one he pretended to do yesterday to force the emperor to submit.
Seeing that his sons' faces were all ashen, as if the sky was falling, he said slowly: "Cheer up, everyone. We have been beaten hard this time, but we can look back and think calmly: What did we suffer?" "
This is something that Zhao Zongji, Zhao Zongshi and others have never thought about. Now when I weigh it, I find that I have not lost anything, it is just like losing the fat in my mouth again, which is regrettable... Divide... There is one more update, please vote …!~!
