Zhao Zhen has been suppressing himself for the past few days and seems to be ready to explode at any time.
He endured it all the time, feeling that he had almost had enough.
He really wanted to issue an edict directly to depose King Runan, expel the royal family, and demote him to a common people... he would definitely be refuted by the political affairs hall.
Since the beginning of the dynasty, there has never been a precedent for killing a clan member, which is why my cousin is so unscrupulous.
It is almost impossible to find evidence that can be used to implicate the cousin. But even a fool knows that he was behind the scenes.
But now, the prince who seems to be somewhat related has also been burned to death, and what the idle man said has become one-sided.
Not to mention that the Runan Palace can deny it. Even if the fact is confirmed to be Zhao Zongyong, what can it do to a dead person?
"Xi'er, the matter has come to this, I'm afraid it won't be settled."
Very unwilling and frustrated.
Xi'er knew the whole thing, so Zhao Zhen didn't hide it and told the truth. This is the truth, and Xi'er should understand it. If he doesn't understand, he should teach him to understand.
"The emperor cannot act as he pleases. There is a remonstrance station in the court. The admonishment officials correct the emperor's gains and losses, and the court refutes the emperor's edicts. These are all ancestral laws to prevent the emperor from bringing disasters to the country."
There have been many conversations like this in the past two years. Dad always instilled in him some views of tolerance and kindness, and at the same time taught him about the pros and cons of the emperor.
In Dad's opinion, the benevolent are invincible. Zhao Xi listened and obeyed.
"On the matter of Prince Runan, there is only one side of the story left. The court upholds the laws of the court and does not allow father to do whatever he wants. Therefore, the matter is over."
From the chain of evidence, Zhao Xi also knew that not only the cousin, but also the Zhao Zongyong who was publicly burned to death could not be implicated.
But based on speculation, I am afraid that everyone who knows the facts knows exactly what is going on.
What my father told me today must have been discussed with my husband and not dealt with.
Zhao Xi felt that based on Shilin's attitude towards the clan, no matter what his father did to King Runan, no one would be able to bear it.
Unless the princes in the court, including some Taiwanese admonishers, are using this matter to return favors.
For decades, from the time when the cousin raised him in the palace, to when my father got married at the age of sixteen, to when he was more than thirty years old and gave birth to his own son, there were also episodes of the Zhao clan raising him in the palace.
Needless to say, the entire court is more or less involved with the Runan Palace.
With an authentic heir to the throne, all previous investments must be settled.
As for laws and regulations...it's pure nonsense! The so-called laws and regulations, especially nowadays, are just an excuse for disagreements between emperors and ministers.
Okay, let’s put it aside for now. Zhao Xi is also helpless.
"Dad, God is watching what you do, and there are gods three feet above your head. Anyone who does unrighteousness will be punished. My child understands."
He couldn't be emotional and had to comfort his father. In essence, he did not suffer any loss. On the contrary, he built up his strength and prepared a guard camp.
But that’s not how the problem is viewed, and it’s not just this one thing.
But the opportunity that was most likely to cause pain was passed by just like that.
"What Xi'er said is true! When you were sick at the age of four, your father made a promise to God in front of your bedside. If Xi'er is left for your father, he will be more kind to his subjects and repay God's mercy."
Maybe it was my father's kindness that made God take pity on him, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in a daze.
Forget it, just let dad break his promise to God, this time... accept it.
…
In the following days, both Kaifeng Mansion and the guard camp brought news about the deserted hometown.
The whole incident can be said to have an explanation.
It turns out that the chaos in the inner palace that was caused by Zhao Xi killing a bad guy who was entering and exiting the palace walls ended when Zhang asked for mercy from his father and pardoned a palace maid and a guard.
It was this pair of lovers who put an end to the rebellion in Neiyuan. After being pardoned by their father, they escaped from Bianliang overnight...for fear that the officials would regret it.
Fleeing all the way south, he encountered thieves on the way. The guards resisted desperately and were killed, but the thieves spared her life because the palace maid was pregnant...
These are all narrated by the palace maid who is still alive.
Zhao Xi was confused. Now that his father had let him go, he would definitely not regret it again for a pair of poor people.
Why did the guard want to flee Bianliang?
The most puzzling thing about this matter is that the thief who wanted to rob someone actually let the palace maid go because she was pregnant? This is not the most surprising thing. What is surprising is that the thief did not take away her belongings...
Later, the palace maid remarried to a doctor named Leng Xu... At this time, Leng Qing was already a teenager.
It was at that time that Leng Xu met the monk from Quan Da Dao, and also met Gao Jian who was also on the run...
Sigh...don't you understand this?
I have been planning for such a big deal since then.
But the whole court was pretending to be confused!
Zhao Xi never believed that officials who could break out from thousands of scholars would not be able to see the fishiness here.
They are all pretending to be blind, just for a while!
Then Leng Qing was beheaded. This was the most unjust fool in this case but he deserved it.
"Where are the maids and children?"
Although the truth is now revealed, Zhao Xi feels that the palace maid should know something inside.
The palace maid in the inner garden was absolutely clear about the rules of the inner garden, and she naturally knew the consequences of her original actions. But she just did it!
Zhao Xi does not deny the so-called love, but the flight of the palace maid and the guards should have an element of love. Maybe they really want to leave Bianliang, become an ordinary couple, and live a small life.
Zhao Xi felt that the flight at that time was more like escaping from a whirlpool...
"Your Highness, when we saw the palace maid, she was already extremely ill..."
Needless to say, the palace maid died too!
It was seamless, really seamless. The entire incident, until now, Zhao Xi could not find a single omission, it was almost flawless.
The court... No one in the court cares about the life or death of this palace maid, right? No one even cares about the seven or eight-year-old child.
As long as it is confirmed that it has nothing to do with the official family and is just being used as a cover by Lengqing, without Lengqing, who will have time to think about it.
Maybe after the death of the palace maid, many people will breathe a sigh of relief?
Indeed, the world is peaceful and harmonious, hello to me, hello to everyone, except for the death of a few idlers, the favors returned have been repaid, and what has been done has been done.
…
Qian Mingyi would never have thought that Zhao Xi would be waiting for him outside Sansanlipu.
"Your Highness, the matter has been settled. Ming Yi knows that Caizhou has settled. Thank you for your kindness. Ming Yi knows about it, Your Highness knows about it, and everyone knows about it."
"Your Highness, Mingyi knows that Your Highness is the treasure of an eternal emperor, so please don't get hung up on trivial matters. The actions of young people can't stop His Highness from inheriting the great power."
"Your Highness, I hope you will forgive Mingyi for being rude. Mingyi takes leave!"
Qian Mingyi is indeed a sensible person, but he also speaks like this.
Well, looking at Qian Mingyi's bold and bold travel, Zhao Xi also felt that he was a little too entangled.
