When Chai Zongqing heard Zhao Zhen's words, he shivered with fright and wailed in horror, "Princess...save my husband..."

The eldest princess of Deng State suddenly stared straight in her eyes, stood up with a ferocious expression, and looked at Zhao Zhen.

"Zhao Zhen! How dare you!"

"presumptuous!"

"shut up!"

"..."

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and other important ministers enthusiastically criticized the eldest princess of Deng State.

Wang Zeng stared at the eldest princess of the Deng Kingdom and said angrily: "Zhao Xuanci, you can also call the official by his official name. Do you still have human relations and a king in your eyes?"

The eldest princess of Deng State had red eyes and roared: "I am discussing family matters with the officials, so you have no right to speak."

Zhang Zhibai snorted coldly and shouted: "Family affairs? Where does the Tian family's family affairs come from? No matter how small the Tian family's affairs are, they are still state affairs. Zhao Xuanci, it is a serious crime for you to call the official by his official name without looking above the emperor."

According to the national law, some of the officials and titles should be dismissed and beheaded on the spot!"

It's okay to call Zhao Zhen by his first name if it's done in private.

After all, there are many people who call Zhao Zhen by his first name in private.

But calling Zhao Zhen by his first name in public is disrespectful, and he will be punished severely.

The eldest princess of Deng State gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Even if I am at fault, only Zongzheng Temple can judge my sins, and the national law cannot control me."

Lu Yijian took a step forward, stared at the eldest princess of Deng State, and sneered: "The national law cannot control you, relatives of the emperor, who cause trouble everywhere, but the national law can control your crimes of deceiving the emperor and being disrespectful."

The eldest princess of Deng State realized that she could not defeat the three prime ministers with their bickering, so she targeted Zhao Zhen.

"The officials want to punish me for my crimes?"

Lu Yijian and others all looked at Zhao Zhen.

Whether the eldest princess of Deng State can be convicted depends on Zhao Zhen.

Even though the three of them could use national law to suppress the eldest princess of Deng State, they could not convict the eldest princess of Deng State.

Under the pressure of the eldest princess of Deng State, Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "I will not condemn you, but I will not spare Chai Zongqing either."

After hearing this, the eldest princess of Deng State was ready to further force Zhao Zhen, but she didn't wait until she spoke.

Zhao Zhen was the first to speak, "Chen Lin, send my two imperial aunts back to their residence to rest. Bring a team of guards over to guard the two imperial aunts, so that no evil person can harm them."

Chen Lin knew what Zhao Zhen was thinking, so after Zhao Zhen gave the order, she decisively led several eunuchs to the eldest princess of Deng State.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Deng State roared angrily: "Who dares? Who dares to touch me, I will be killed in the palace."

The eldest princess of Deng State threatened to die, but Chen Lin was a little afraid to take action.

Zhao Zhen's face also looked a little ugly.

Lu Yijian and others frowned into the character "Sichuan".

After all, the eldest princess of Deng State is Zhao Zhen's biological aunt. If Zhao Zhen hurt her life, it would easily lead to a reputation of being unkind and unfilial.

When people sing about this incident, they don't care about the inner story.

They can only sing that Zhao Zhen hurt his own aunt in order to secure the throne, which was unkind and unfilial.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to have a reputation of being unkind and unfilial, and Lu Yijian and others also didn't want to see Zhao Zhen have a reputation of being unkind and unfilial.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Deng State fought to the death, and it was difficult for them to make a decision.

If the eldest princess of Deng State was Zhao Zhen's daughter, no one would say anything even if Zhao Zhen ordered her to die.

But it turns out that the eldest princess of Deng State is Zhao Zhen's elder and Zhao Zhen's biological aunt.

If Zhao Zhen was still as mediocre as before, Lu Yijian and others would definitely ask Zhao Zhen to kill the eldest princess of Deng without hesitation.

Anyway, Zhao Zhen has already taken on the reputation of being a foolish king and doing some bastard things is what he should do.

But Lu Yijian and the others discovered that Zhao Zhen was not stupid.

Zhao Zhen is still the same Zhao Zhen as before.

He has been acting foolishly in recent days. It seems that he has seen the great harm caused by the emperor's relatives to the Song Dynasty and brought great harm to the Song Dynasty, so he used clever tricks to lure the emperor's relatives and relatives to take the bait, and then deal with them all.

Since Zhao Zhen is not mediocre, they cannot let Zhao Zhen bear the reputation of being unkind.

The eldest princess of Deng State threatened to die, leaving Zhao Zhen in a deadlock in dealing with the emperor's relatives.

You could hear needles dropping in Chui Gong Hall, and no one knew how to deal with this deadlock.

If there were any elders from the clan, they could come forward to suppress the eldest princess of Deng State.

But now, Princess Deng is the eldest in the clan, and no one can suppress her.

The silent scene did not last long, and a voice sounded in the Chui Gong Hall.

"Please give me the Emperor's Sword!"

Kou Ji stepped into the palace and said something gentle or serious.

Lu Yijian and others were stunned when they heard this.

"The officials didn't take back your Emperor's Sword?"

Lu Yijian asked out of nowhere.

Kou Ji said calmly: "After I returned to Beijing, I spent most of my time recuperating from illness. I did not formally go to court, so naturally I did not return the Emperor's Sword to the officials."

Speaking of this, Kou Ji bowed to Zhao Zhen and said: "This matter is due to my negligence. Please ask the officials to punish me."

Zhao Zhen didn't know what Kou Ji was going to do, but he knew that Kou Ji summoned the Emperor's Sword at this moment to break the deadlock.

Kou Ji apologized in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and in such a scene, Zhao Zhen could not protect Kou Ji. He stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "While you were holding the Emperor's Sword, you did not do anything wrong, nor did you do anything wrong.

What a big mistake you have made, I will fine you a year's salary, do you agree?"

Kou Ji bowed and said, "I accept my punishment!"

With Kou Ji's current official position and title, his annual salary is a huge amount of money.

Zhao Zhen's punishment can be considered a severe punishment.

Although Kou Ji was not short of money, his salary was Kou Ji's salary for working for the court. If he was fined all at once, it would be equivalent to a year's work in vain, so it was naturally heavy.

At least this was true for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The eldest princess of Deng State set her sights on Kou Ji when Kou Ji threatened to ask for the Emperor's Sword.

When Kou Ji finished talking to Zhao Zhen, the eldest princess of Deng State gritted her teeth and stared at Kou Ji: "Do you want to borrow the Emperor's Sword to commit murder against me?"

Kou Ji glanced at her but said nothing.

However, the eldest princess of Deng State chased Kou Ji reluctantly and said: "Is one sword enough? If it is not enough, I will send people to get you a few more swords."

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes but still said nothing.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Deng State shouted angrily: "I am Taizu's niece, Taizong's daughter, the late emperor's sister, and the official's aunt. If you touch me, you are slapping all previous officials in the face."

.

Why do you still have the dignity to stand in the court of my Zhao family?"

Kou Ji still didn't speak, and seemed not to have heard what the eldest princess of Deng State said.

He knew clearly why the eldest princess of Deng State chased after him and asked questions relentlessly, and even brought up previous officials to suppress him.

The eldest princess of Deng State was afraid, afraid that he would actually commit murder.

If Kou Ji tried his best to pursue an official career and hurt her in the hall, it would be a serious injury.

Although Kou Ji would be dismissed from office afterwards, he might even be exiled.

But the deadlock in Chui Gong Hall will be resolved.

Once she was injured, Zhao Zhen had reason to ask someone to take her forcibly for treatment. During her recovery, she had no control over what Zhao Zhen would do with Chai Zongqing.

Seeing that Kou Ji was silent, the eldest princess of Deng State approached Kou Ji, grabbed Kou Ji's hand and shouted: "Come on! You can try to touch me!"

The eldest princess of Deng State knew in her heart what would happen to her if Kou Ji committed an attack, so she had to force Kou Ji back before the Emperor Sword was invited.

Now all the civil and military officials in the court dare not speak out under her pressure.

Kou Ji was the only one who dared to speak out. As long as Kou Ji was forced to retreat, her husband Chai Zongqing's mistakes would be over.

Kou Ji stood there calmly and allowed the eldest princess of Deng State to catch him and act recklessly.

It didn't take long.

A royal guard entered the Chui Gong Hall carrying the Emperor's Sword.

Kou Ji quickly pulled back his sleeves from the hands of the eldest princess of Deng State, and walked towards the imperial guard.

Seeing Kou Ji take the Emperor's Sword from the imperial guard, the eldest princess of Deng's eyes widened and screamed at Zhao Zhen: "Zhao Zhen, this is your good minister, he will be in my Zhao family

In the court, they committed murder against my Zhao family members!"

Zhao Zhen trusted Kou Ji, so he did not speak when faced with the roar of Princess Deng.
