Chapter 366: The Governor of the House is Nandang (Part 1)
Chapter 366: It’s hard to be the governor
Although the government strictly enforces frugality, it is unjustifiable to walk everyone all morning in the middle of winter without eating soup or rice. 8 9 Views 44rc.m
There were seven to eight hundred officials who came out to welcome them this time. They all got up before dawn. After all the hard work, they were already hungry. Fortunately, the officials were always considerate and waited for the officials to sit down in Daqing Hall and the two side halls.
, so I skipped all the fuss and just called it a banquet.
Although it was within the forbidden area, everyone still abided by the rules, but hundreds of people were eating together, and there must be fine wine at the celebration banquet. There were mostly young officials in the two side halls, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
On the other hand, in the main hall, the important ministers and nobles who were qualified to accompany the emperor to dine were a little reserved because they maintained their status and were afraid of losing their etiquette in front of the emperor.
Zhao Zhen sat up high and listened to the excitement in the two side halls. He smiled and said: "There must be a celebration banquet. You just drink and toast. If there is any debauchery, the censor will not participate."
When the official said this, the hall became lively. All the ministers and nobles first toasted to the official, and then took turns to toast Zhao Zongji, who was sitting on the left.
Brothers Zhao Zongpu, Zhao Zongqiu, and Zhao Zongchu looked at Zhao Zongji who was like a star holding the moon, but no one paid attention to him, so he felt naturally unhappy. Zhao Zongpu said: "Good guy, now even the thirteenth old man can compare with me."
Already."
"What does he have?" Zhao Zongqiu curled his lips and said, "Didn't he just defeat a few thieves? Those who don't know may think he has regained Yanyun."
The brothers were convinced. Zhao Zonghui smiled and said: "What kind of ability do you have to say here? If you have the guts, go to him and tell him this."
"What a good idea." Zhao Zongpu, who was a fool, praised him after hearing this: "Let's see if he can still sit still after hearing this!" After that, he pulled Zhao Zongqiu up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
"Just go, if you can make him sick, I will admit it even after being scolded." Zhao Zongqiu stood up suddenly and asked Zhao Zonghan, "Sixteenth brother, are you going?" Zhao Zonghan's face was gloomy and he ignored him.
So under the watchful eyes of all the brothers, the two of them came to Zhao Zongji's table with wine in hand. By this time, Zhao Zongji was already a little numb from being drunk. When he saw them coming, he didn't think much and stood up with the wine glasses.
"Come Zongji, I'll give you a drink, brother." Zhao Zongpu said in a loud voice: "This time you conquered the southwest and regained Jiaozhi. You also showed your power and conquered the entire Guangxi in one fell swoop. You killed more than 100,000 enemies and saved the country from the generals.
It is really a great contribution to relieve the people from hanging upside down. I admire you brother, and I am so impressed..."
Originally, everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Zongji, but Zhao Zongpu's voice was so loud that it temporarily overwhelmed all the sounds in the hall.
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Zhao Zongji's face turned red and white. The two brothers Zhao Zongpu were even more excited. Zhao Zongqiu couldn't let his brother be the only one. He continued in a weird voice: "Yes, not only
We admire you, everyone in the world admires you, and praises you for your contribution, which is greater than that of Cao Bin and Pan Mei back then, let alone Di Qing! Come on, fifth brother, we respect you!"
Zhao Zongjing was there eating a lot, but his face changed after hearing this, but he didn't forget to look at Chen Ke on the side. Chen Ke whispered a few words, then he wiped his hands on his sleeves and stood up.
Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu were still chattering to themselves, but as long as they were not deaf or stupid, they could tell that this was not a compliment at all, but a naked sarcasm! Zhao Zonge and Zhao Zongji were sitting at the same table, and they had already sensed that something was wrong.
The more he spoke, the more unpleasant he heard, and seeing the official's expression change slightly, he wanted to get up and find a different topic to avoid making a big fuss.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Zhao Zongjing stood behind the two of them. This boy had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was half a head taller than Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu. His face was gloomy at the moment, and he felt very oppressive.
The sound of a needle could be heard in the hall, and even Zhao Zhen looked at these three living treasures with cold eyes, wondering what kind of farce they could stage...
Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu felt someone standing behind them, and when they looked back, they were almost startled.
"You two brothers must be drunk." Zhao Zongjing put one hand on Zhao Zongpu's shoulder and the other on Zhao Zongqiu's shoulder, with a knife in his smile.
"Do you think we are drunk?" Zhao Zongpu was certain that this boy would not dare to make a mistake in front of you.
"Why would you change your sexual orientation so quickly if you weren't drunk?" Zhao Zongjing sneered, "Aren't we going to spoil this ceremony and let's all eat egg soup together?"
"You actually eavesdropped..." Zhao Zongqiu blurted out in anger.
All the brothers wanted to bang their heads on the table, thinking that they really lived up to their names, they were indeed balls...
"You don't have to eavesdrop. You shouted at the top of your lungs under the city gate. Isn't your voice louder than mine?" Zhao Zongjing said loudly: "Not only did I hear it, at that time, at least ten of the people who passed through Wansheng Gate had
Eight heard it!"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Zongpu secretly scolded his brother for being useless, and sneered: "Since so many people have heard it, find me a witness!"
"Well, today is a happy day, so I won't talk about these trivial matters." Unexpectedly, Zhao Zongjing waved his hand "magnanimously" and said: "There is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask my two brothers for advice."
When Zhao Zongpu heard this, he knew that this kid was looking for trouble. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He nodded carelessly and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. Brother, I will teach you well."
"This morning you brothers set up fences at various street intersections to prevent the people of Bianjing from approaching Wanshengmen," Zhao Zongjing said coldly: "What kind of regulations are they?"
As soon as Zhao Zongjing said this, the hall was in an uproar. At this time, the conflict between Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Zongji was almost visible to the naked eye. Everyone could naturally think of the intentions of the Zhao Zongshi brothers.
"There is nothing we can do." Zhao Zongpu said nonchalantly: "Who asked Mr. Wen to hand over the security of the ceremony to Zong Shi? He was entrusted with such an important task before he was even hot in Kaifeng Mansion.
How can you do it accidentally? Set up a card to intercept Xiaoxiao, and only allow good people to watch the ceremony. What's wrong?" He snorted coldly and said: "You don't mention this matter, but I still want to interfere with you. You and Chen Zhongfang ignore me.
My brother stopped him, forcibly canceled the checkpoint, and even injured him. Even if your father knows the Zongzheng Temple, he cannot be partial!"
After Zhao Zongpu finished speaking, he was very proud. This was what their brothers had discussed before taking action. Zhao Zongjing injured Zhao Zonghan, which gave them an excuse to attack.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zongjing said with a sudden look on his face: "No wonder the second brother seems to have eaten gunpowder. It turns out that there is a wildfire in his heart!"
"What's wrong with me just holding fire?" Although Zhao Zongpu is a lot older, he has basically lived like a dog. He has nothing to pursue in his life, he is just greedy for money and lust. Thinking of the great cause of Thirteen, he has forced himself to be patient all these years, even
He didn't even dare to visit the brothel. He originally expected his younger brother to ascend to the throne and make him a prince to compensate him. But in a blink of an eye, everything turned into a mirror. He had been burning in his heart for a long time, so he took the opportunity to cause trouble. Not only did he create trouble for Zhao Zongji,
I also want to vent my anger.
At this time, he was busy talking and drunk. Zhao Zongpu spoke more and more carelessly, crying: "How come we are both sons of officials, one brother can beat the other's brother, and the other can't even beat himself?"
I can’t even protect my younger brother..." After saying that, he turned to Zhao Zhen and cried loudly: "Please give justice to the officials!"
"Please let the officials uphold justice!" Zhao Zongqiu also burst into tears.
A nice banquet turned into a mourning ceremony. Anger appeared on Zhao Zhen's face. He looked at Wen Yanbo and said, "Mr. Wen, what's going on?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, what the two Highnesses said is indeed true." Wen Yanbo said calmly: "Although the situation was unknown at the time, due to time constraints, the veteran was afraid that it would affect the ceremony, so he had to let Chen Xueshi and Zhao Fengfeng resume the road as soon as possible.
The traffic was smooth, and they were allowed to take advantage of it, but unexpectedly, a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, which is the fault of the humble minister."
With a few words, Wen Yanbo took out Zhao Zongjing and secretly sued Zhao Zongshi.
"Zhao Zongpu, Zhao Zongqiu," Zhao Zhen pulled his face when he heard this and said coldly: "I don't care what your intentions are for blocking the road. I just want to ask what are you two mourning here? Do you want to disturb King Qi's triumph?
A banquet?"
"Don't dare..." Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu immediately became excited. In fact, they dared to make trouble in the Golden Palace because they understood Zhao Zhen's temper, that is, she is a gentle old lady. It's okay to offend him! In this case, they might as well
The banquet was turned into a mess, which made Zhao Zongji lose face!
So they were not surprised that Zhao Zongjing came forward. Wen Yanbo and Pili Yangqiu were not surprised either. But Zhao Zhen didn't get along and just gave them two big mouths, which stunned them both!
"What kind of hero can you be if you are jealous and say strange things when you look at someone else's beauty?!" Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Tang Aiqing, how should I deal with the disgrace in front of you?"
"I'm here." Tang Jie quickly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Jiao Zongzheng Temple, I will be punished with ten sticks and imprisoned for three days!"
"In that case..." Zhao Zhen said.
"Father, please listen to what I have to say." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zongji, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he saw him smiling and said: "Father, I have spoken in advance, toast and drink, if there is any dissoluteness, the censor will not take it into account... Besides,
"The two brothers are joking with me. Zong Jing is so stubborn that he wants to admit the truth. Only he will take it seriously, so he starts talking nonsense..."
"What the King of Qi said is," Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu had never seen Zhao Zhen so harsh. They heard that they were going to be sent to Zongzheng Temple, which was Zhao Yunbi's territory. They didn't know what they would be like. They were frightened when they saw Zhao Zongji.
He interceded and quickly nodded his head and said: "We are joking with King Qi..."
"They look like brothers," Zhao Zhen nodded approvingly towards Zhao Zongji, then turned to Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongqiu, snorted coldly: "I'm giving you two an advantage. Why don't you go back and sit down!"
After hearing this, the two of them felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and quickly sat back down in dejection...
