Chapter 595: Today is different from the past

The empress dowager raised her face, looked at Zhao Zong deeply, and said, "What? You are not satisfied with this kind of treatment? Chen Ao is indeed bad, but the government also needs to use it. After all, he is a meritorious minister. Could it be that he would be willing to kill his head?"

Zhao Zong said with a bitter face: "Mother, my son is not the case." His eyes rolled and he said helplessly: "My son begs my mother, don't punish the Prince of Penglai."

This sentence made the people in the hall slightly shocked. Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Zong and thought to himself, could my emperor brother have changed his nature? He never suffered a loss in the past, how could he learn to swallow his anger today?

The Queen Mother slowly drank a sip of tea and wiped her mouth with a silk squid, and then said slowly: "You said, why don't you punish me?"

"This...this..." Zhao Zong looked around, obviously considering whether he should say it in public.

The Empress Dowager knew his intentions and said to the concubines: "You all retreat, the Ai family doesn't need you to accompany you."

The concubines said peace and retreated one after another.

Only the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji and Zhao Zong were left in the hall. Zhao Zong lost his scruples and said with a smile: "Mother, Chen Ao is not too bad. He just made some minor mistakes and was exempted from punishment. The ministers will regard him as a loss and will not argue with him."

The Queen Mother said: "Tell me your truth and don't beat around the bush."

Zhao Zong hurriedly said yes, and then said, "I really don't dare to hide my mother. Yesterday at the door of the Cai family, Ziheng and the boy named Chen were in public... Cough cough... That... That... I was naturally unwilling to accept it when I heard it. I originally wanted to argue with Shen Ao, but then I thought that Ziheng and him were really getting along well, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. When they encountered such a thing, everyone saw the two of them holding hands and riding on the same horse. If such a thing happened, how could Ziheng get married in the future?"

When the empress dowager heard this, she suddenly felt that there was some reason. After this, it turned out that who would dare to mention those who came to propose marriage again? With Cai Lun's previous lesson, who knew whether the next trip would be sent by the Prince of Jin's mansion would be another girl? That's fine, Chen Ao is so vicious that no one can afford to offend him. Zhao Ziheng has a skin kinship with Shen Ao again. This is something that many people have seen with their own eyes, and no one is willing to propose marriage. What should I do if I can't get married? This is the problem facing the empress dowager and Zhao Zong.

The queen mother said indifferently: "These words don't seem to be what you think of. They should be what the princess think of, right?"

Zhao Zong said awkwardly: "It was the princess and his sons who thought about it together." The son is better than his mother. With the Empress Dowager's understanding of Zhao Zong, he is really not so far-reaching.

The Queen Mother said, "Then what should you do?"

Zhao Zong smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I say when I reach this point? Erchen is just such a daughter. She used to be in her mouth for fear of being melted. She was cautious and could not ask her to stay married for the rest of her life. It would be better to do this. Since it was caused by the bad boy Chen Ao, Erchen would suffer some losses and marry Ziheng. Now if Chen Ao's title is removed and Ziheng will marry him, it will not look good. Erchen can't sleep last night and think a lot. When he thinks about it, he is not bad at Chen Ao. He is outstanding in his studies, except for his love of nonsense."

As he said this, the Empress Dowager was also deeply thinking. It was a big deal that Zhao Ziheng could not get married. Now that this happened, the face of the Tian family was of great importance, but the King of Jin could not be treated too much. Ziheng was so well-behaved that she could not let her stay in the palace for the rest of her life.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Ji and said lightly: "What does the official family mean?"

Zhao Ji opposed it at this time: "My mother, you must not. An Ning has already married, and she will marry Ziheng again. These two are the flesh of my brother and I. How can I serve a husband? Even if it spreads, it will be a joke."

Of course, Zhao Ji opposed it. He had already thought that there were too many arrogant wife. Zhao Ji was still worried about it. Now he added another princess. That would be great? There is no room for negotiation on this matter!

Zhao Zong shouted: "Brother..."

Zhao Ji had a tense face, but he just didn't let go.

The Empress Dowager also advised, "There are so many wives in Chen Ao, and the Ai family is also annoying. But when you arrive in this field, you are the emperor brother. When you see your brothers in such a difficult situation and see Ziheng as a well-behaved person, do you feel relieved? The official family, the Ai family will not ask for anything in this life, just ask you brothers to be safe and safe. One is in a peaceful way to govern the country and the world, and not to let down the high expectations of the late emperor. The other is also good at living a life and being a wise king without worries. Now Ziheng is like this, her affairs will not be settled for a day, and the Ai family will not think about food or food for a day. If the official family has a certain degree of filial piety, they must always be polite."

These words were somewhat of a tender attack. Zhao Ji's shoulders trembled slightly, and it was difficult to refuse for a moment, but he just lay down and remained motionless.

When the Empress Dowager saw this situation, she wanted to laugh, but on the surface she couldn't help but persuade her: "The official family, Chen Ao has so many wives, and not many more, so what's the point? Besides, as a son of man, the word filial piety is ignored. You nodded and everyone was very happy." After a pause, she said: "Besides, An Ning and Ziheng were also excellent sisters in the Duan Palace. In the future, they will be taken care of, right?"

Zhao Zong was not so polite. He grabbed Zhao Ji's arm and shook it and said, "Brother... I am a royal brother, but you must agree to what you are today. If you don't agree, it's not easy for me to be with the princess..." He found that he had missed his words and immediately changed his words: "My beloved concubine will be depressed, and the prince is even more worried."

Zhao Ji was so entangled that he had no choice but to shake his head and said, "I think about it first. Even if I want to marry, I can't marry easily. Ziheng is still young and is not in a hurry. This storm was first promised to the Cai family and Chen Ao, which is inevitable that people would be laughed at."

The empress dowager pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable." Then she blinked at Zhao Zong, meaning not to bother her anymore.

Zhao Zong smiled and said, "The emperor's brother has just thought that the emperor's brother has agreed."

Zhao Ji could only pinch his nose and accept it.

The Empress Dowager said, "Will Chen Ao deal with it? Even if you don't strip the title, you must at least issue an order to reprimand it."

Zhao Zong shouted: "No, just say it privately. Let the emperor go and talk about it. It's better not to come forward with the queen."

He was so dedicated to maintaining his work, but he was somewhat self-aware. At this time, he issued an order and everyone in the world watched it. It was a big deal. The Jin Palace was the most harmful, so it was difficult for him to report to the princess when he returned.

Zhao Ji said: "It's better to make a reprimand. Scolding privately is the same as not punishing."

Zhao Zong immediately said, "I can't do it, if you continue to instruct me, where will the face of the Tian family be? Just fine him a year or a half salary in private." Then, he looked at the Queen Mother with a begging gaze and said, "My mother, is the son minister right?"

The Queen Mother pondered and said, "This punishment is too cheap for him."

Zhao Zong said: "It's not cheap, it's not cheap."

This dispute made people feel distracted. The empress dowager wanted to raise an army to punish him, but was stopped by the miserable Zhao Zong. Zhao Ji wanted to protect him, but in the end, Zhao Zong maintained him even more. Even Zhao Ji felt that Wang Zong was really sorry for this.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Forget it, forgot, since Ziheng is going to marry, this matter has never happened. It's better to say it privately, there is no need to pay the salary. The Ai family heard that Chen Ao is doing a huge business outside, a teahouse and a weekly magazine. Will he care about this little money? If he fined him, he didn't know, and he thought our Tian family was mean."

Zhao Ji shook his head, not knowing what to say, the most difficult thing was housework, so he had to sigh and said, "My son understand."

After coming out of Jingtai Palace, Zhao Ji called Yang Jian anxiously. Yang Jian was waiting for news from Jingtai Palace with breath. Seeing Zhao Ji coming out with a blue face, he screamed in his heart that he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. Then he heard Zhao Ji say, "Go, call that bastard into the palace. Come quickly, I'll wait for him at Wenjing Pavilion."

Hearing that it was Wenjing Pavilion, not the Martial Arts Hall, Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "I'll go now." Then he went there as if he was flying.

Zhao Ji rushed to Wenjing Pavilion with his foot on his feet, and went in with a silence, waiting around, but Chen Ao had not yet entered the palace. He was also upset, and stood up and sat down again. This happened several times.

Chen Ao was also worried when he heard the summons from the official family. He immediately rode his horse to Zhengde Gate. Yang Jian was waiting here. As soon as he saw it, he immediately waved to him. Chen Ao originally planned to release the horse into the palace, but then he dismounted and handed the horse to the imperial guards of Zhengde Gate and quickly walked over.

The two walked into the palace while walking, and Yang Jian said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're angry in your stomach, so you have to deal with it carefully. Also, just now, the family heard Jingde of Jingtai Palace say that the Empress Dowager and the King of Jin no longer pursue this matter. They basically ask Your Majesty to scold him privately. Even so, you can't neglect it. In short, it's fine."

Chen Aohe nodded: "I understand, so I brought a treasure here this time." He cunningly raised the brocade box in his hand: "Take your Majesty's attention away first, and then deal with it calmly."

Yang Jian chuckled and said, "The family said you are the smartest, so you have plans."

Chen Ao smiled at him and whispered: "Will you go to the Empress Dowager's side to ask for peace later? Is the Empress Dowager still angry? Will you encounter any trouble now?"

Yang Jian hesitated for a moment: "No matter how bad your temper is, you have to go there. Just ask for a crime. The King of Jin is there, and he happened to admit his mistakes to him, so he can't get it clear."

Chen Ao nodded and said, "At worst, I can be scolded, what are you afraid of?" After that, he accelerated his pace with pride.

Yang Jian trotted and chased after him, "Cai family, be careful. Cai Jing suffered such a big loss, so he would definitely not give up easily."
