ps Zhao Hongrun: I’ll add an update for the second helmsman of this book, “True Super Saiyan”. Also, please vote for more updates.
Zongfu, also known as Zongrenfu in popular terms, is a special government office of the Zhao royal family of the Ji clan of Wei Dynasty, which specializes in handling clan disputes and disciplining the clan's children.
The officials who serve in the Zongfu are all from the Ji family's royal family with the surname Zhao, especially Zongling, Zuo Zongzheng, and You Zongzheng. They are all the royal family elders who even today's emperor Zhao Yuansi is respectfully called uncle or uncle.
Because of this, the Zongfu's authority is also very large. They specialize in managing people with the Ji family and Zhao surname, regardless of anything else.
From trivial matters to the unforgivable crime of usurping the throne and treason, whenever a person of the Ji family with the surname Zhao is convicted, it is left to the clan to make a decision. Even the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites have no right to intervene.
Sometimes even the Emperor Zhao Yuansi of the Wei Dynasty was unable to change the decisions made by the Zongfu, so one can imagine the status of the Zongfu.
Originally, Zhao Hongrun connived with his clan guards to smash up Chen Shuai's Youzhi Palace. If the clan government intervened, the situation would have been unfavorable to Zhao Hongrun. However, now that Zhao Hongrun's appearance was scratched by Chen Shuai, this matter is a different matter.
.
Zhao Hongrun's body is the orthodox direct lineage of the Ji family's Zhao surname. Attacking him and injuring him is not a trivial matter. Even a concubine like Chen Shuai, who was favored by the emperor of Wei, would eventually be severely punished and lightly punished.
In other words, he will be imprisoned for a year and a half, or in severe cases, he will be deposed directly.
After all, compared with Zhao Hongrun, Chen Shuai is just a favored concubine, not the biological mother of any prince. According to the clan's principle of "putting people of Ji family and Zhao first", Chen Shuai will definitely be in big trouble this time
.
This Eighth Prince is really far-sighted... Could it be that he destroyed Youzhi Palace just to make Chen Shuai so angry that she couldn't help but attack him? If so, this man's scheme... is really frightening!
Tong Xian thought quietly.
At this point, it is no longer his turn to come forward to resolve this matter, because once the clan government intervenes, even the Emperor of Wei may not be able to interfere anymore.
only……
Tong Xian's only worry is that once this matter is involved in the clan, it will cause a big mess. Although the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun cannot avoid a punishment, he may even be ordered to face the wall in the clan to think about his mistakes, but that Chen Shuai
, her end will undoubtedly be even worse.
"Your Highness, please take a moment to speak."
Tong Xian invited Zhao Hongrun to a corner and asked in a low voice: "Did His Highness really send someone to inform the clan?"
It’s no wonder that Tong Xian is so cautious, because once the clan gets involved, the matter will become very difficult. In addition to Chen Shuai and Zhao Hongrun, a large number of people will be punished by the clan, including those from Youzhi Palace.
The palace maid, the person who recommended Chen Shuai in the first place, and Concubine Shen Shu of Ningxiang Palace, and the first person to bear the brunt was him, the internal supervisor who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the entire palace.
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said to Tong Xian: "Don't worry, Eunuch Tong, if I really do this, wouldn't it be inevitable that even my mother and concubine would be accused of lax teaching by the clan? Scaring and scaring.
It's just her." He pursed his lips in the direction of Chen Shuai.
I'm afraid it's not as simple as scaring Chen Shuai, right?
Tong Xian took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince in front of him, and thought to himself, how could an ignorant concubine like Chen Shuai, who had only entered the palace for a short time and had never fallen into the hands of the clan, know what a terrifying place the clan was?
According to Tong Xian's inference, the reason why His Highness the Eighth Prince said this was just to tell him, or to tell the emperor through his mouth: If the emperor's handling does not satisfy me, then the matter will be handled by the clan!
But even so, Tong Xian felt a little relieved. In any case, as long as the clan government has not intervened in this matter, there is room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, he immediately said respectfully to Zhao Hong: "I will go to Chui Gong Hall immediately and report this matter to Your Majesty."
"Young father-in-law, please help yourself."
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and walked to his original position. There, his clan guards had already laid out a table and laid out mats.
"No one is allowed to move in the palace without permission, otherwise the crime will be increased!"
Tong Xian's words seemed to have been spoken in the palace, but in fact, the objects of his scolding were actually the guards that Chen Shuai had invited before, that is, the group of people who had just fought with Mu Qing and other clan guards.
The guards looked at each other. They couldn't figure it out. They were protecting Chen Shuai, but instead they were scolded by the eunuch Tong Xian. In contrast, Zhao Hongrun, who had left Youzhi Palace in a mess, was sitting peacefully in the banquet.
, under the protection of his ten clan guards, looked at this group of people with a half-smile.
The most confusing thing was probably Chen Shuai. She saw that Zhao Hongrun smashed her Youzhi Palace, but the eunuch Tong Xian looked kind and even talked to him in a low voice. She knew that this matter might not end well.
How could this happen? I am His Majesty’s favorite concubine!
Chen Shuai found it difficult to accept this fact.
"Can't figure it out?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Chen Shu'ai who had calmed down with a half-smile.
"..." Chen Shuai stared at Zhao Hongrun resentfully and said coldly: "Zhao Hongrun, don't be complacent. When your Majesty comes later, I will see how you beg for mercy!"
"Oh? Really?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head, looked at Chen Shuai and sighed: "You are still stupid, so stupid!... Do you really think that your status is higher than this palace?"
"I am the most favored by Your Majesty on weekdays..."
"So you are stupid!... Your capital is just your father's favor and your youth and beauty. What else is there? I, the Wei Dynasty, have many young and beautiful women. And my Highness
, but the blood of the Zhao surname of the Ji family of the Great Wei flows in his body, and he is the legitimate descendant of the royal family of the Great Wei... According to the ancestral system of the Great Wei, as long as His Highness does not commit the unpardonable crime of treason and rebellion, no matter what else he does, the end will be the best.
What's worse is that he was ordered to be detained by the clan.
...Of course, my father can dislike His Highness and demote Him to a commoner. But even if he is demoted to a commoner, His Highness can still be a wealthy man. People in the clan will not sit back and watch Ji Shi Zhao.
People with the surname bloodline
Falling on the streets and starving to death in a foreign land. Even if His Highness dies by then, the clan will still send people to pick up His Highness’s remains and bury them in the imperial mausoleum... Why? Because His Highness’s body is filled with the great Wei Ji family Zhao
The blood of the surname!”
"..."
"And what about you? You are just a favored concubine. You have never given birth to a son or a daughter for your father. How can you dare to bully my highness's mother and concubine just because of your beauty and your father's love for you?
!The mother-in-law who bullied the two princes, Chen Shuai, you are really so arrogant!"
"..." Listening to Zhao Hongrun's heart-wrenching words, Chen Shuai's face became even paler.
She finally realized what Zhao Hongrun's greatest strength was, that is, he was a prince, an orthodox direct bloodline of the great Wei Ji family named Zhao, and a descendant of the emperor, while she was just an outsider.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." Chen Shuai covered her face and started to tremble.
"Don't believe it? Then we'll see."
After that, Zhao Hongrun straightened his clothes and left with ten of his clan guards.
This time, no one dared to stop him.
At the same time, the great eunuch Tong Xian hurried back to Chui Gong Hall and told the Wei Emperor Zhao Yuanxi everything he saw and heard.
"What? Youzhi Palace was smashed? Hongrun's face was scratched and disfigured by Chen Shuai?"
Hearing this shocking news, the Emperor Wei was shocked, and the three ministers were even more dumbfounded.
How could His Highness do such a treasonous thing?
Lin Yuyang, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, had a shocked face.
You know what the heck! Chen Shuai is only allowed to go to Ningxiang Palace to show off her power, but the Eighth Prince is not allowed to go to Youzhi Palace to fight back? Although this counterattack is stronger, compared to the Eighth Prince being scratched by Chen Shuai and causing his appearance to be disfigured, the former of Youzhi Palace
What does it matter if the temple is smashed?
Yu Ziqi glanced at Lin Yuyang displeasedly.
You two adults, please calm down for a while. We are not qualified to say anything about this matter. Let's see what His Majesty decides.
Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu shook his head.
The three secretaries of the Central Committee communicated silently with their eyes.
Under their furtive glances, the Emperor of Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yuanxi, was still rubbing his forehead with his hands, showing a look of embarrassment.
After a long time, he slowly said: "That traitor has really done a good thing!"
Is this to punish His Highness the Eighth Prince?
The three Zhongshu ministers were shocked.
But at this moment, the Emperor Wei's words suddenly changed and he sighed: "It's true that Chen Shu'ai is the elder of that traitorous son. No matter what, she can't hurt the prince... Tong Xian, that traitorous son
Is the injury serious?"
Tong Xian thought for a while and said: "Although it is just a scratch on the skin, because the injury is on the face, I think it may be disfigured..."
"Ask the imperial doctor to go to Wenzhao Pavilion to diagnose and treat the traitor. Be sure to leave no trace."
"Yes." Tong Xian bent down and reminded: "Then Youzhi Palace..."
The Emperor of Wei rubbed his forehead and said: "Send someone to check what was destroyed later, and then order the Ministry of Works to restore it as before. All money and materials spent during this period will be allocated from my inner treasury."
"Yes." Tong Xian lowered his head and suddenly cautiously asked: "For this matter, won't Your Majesty personally visit Youzhi Palace?"
"What am I going to do?" Zhao Yuanci glanced at Tong Xian in surprise: "Can't I just leave this matter to you?"
"yes."
Tong Xian bowed and left Chui Gong Hall, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.
Chen Shuai... I'm afraid it's over.
It was clear that the front hall of Youzhi Palace was smashed, but after the incident, the Emperor of Wei never thought of going to Youzhi Palace in person to comfort Chen Shuai. He just ordered the eunuch Tong Xian to ask the Ministry of Works to restore the front hall of Youzhi Palace.
As before, what does this mean?
In the blink of an eye, night came, when Tong Xian asked the emperor of Wei which concubine's palace he planned to stay in tonight, and mentioned Youzhi Palace at the right time, the emperor of Wei did not choose Chen Shuai.
"I'm afraid Chen Shu'ai is still angry. It wouldn't be right for me to go. Let's talk about it some time later... When I go to Ningxiang Palace, I want to talk to Concubine Shen Shu about what a treasonous thing that traitor did today! That traitor doesn't care about discipline.
It’s really not possible!”
"Yes." Tong Xian lowered his head.
Have some time? Hey!
For a concubine who only relies on the emperor's favor, what does it mean to "live a while"?
After a while, will the Emperor of Wei still remember Chen Shuai?
In comparison, even though the Emperor of Wei mostly went to Ningxiang Palace these days to inform Concubine Shen Shu of her eldest son's misdeeds, there was no doubt that Concubine Shen Shu's status in the emperor's heart would be greatly improved after these two visits.
Could this be the original intention of His Highness the Eighth Prince?
Tong Xian secretly guessed, but unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
The eighth prince Zhao Hongrun's new plan to "cheat his father" is far from over.
