Song Gexing

Chapter 77 The price is crisis

"Officials, the empress has left the palace."

Just when Zhao Zhen was struggling, the chamberlain came in to report. Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said "I understand", and then said in surprise: "Where are you going?"

The chamberlain quickly replied: "Young people don't dare to ask, but judging from the direction the Queen is going, it should be Prince Wei's Mansion."

"Wei Palace..."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, nodded and waved for him to step back. He looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Xia Xiang's opinion on how to deal with it is better to wait for everyone to discuss it. You have heard it, and I have to go and take a look. It's not easy to worry about." If you don’t go to the palace if you are injured, I won’t be relieved if you don’t go and see.”

Seeing that he was acting like an old father, Bao Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to leave.

He was also worried about the rift between the emperor and Zhao Fang and his son, but now it seems that he was overly worried.

In fact, it is normal for Bao Zheng to have such worries. In history, there were many emperors who fell out with their sons over women, not to mention that Zhao Fang's methods this time were extremely violent.

……

When Zhao Zhen arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, he saw Zhao Fang lying on the couch with a doctor applying medicine to his buttocks. The queen was sitting outside with her eyes red and swollen from crying. When she asked, she found out that her son had been beaten by the queen.

"Did you really stab yourself?"

After the doctor and the maids left, Zhao Zhen asked in surprise.

Zhao Fang, who was lying there, nodded with a grunt, and Zhao Zhen became angry: "You are so brave, you can do this just in case something happens!"

"Who allowed that bastard to slander my mother? If he didn't kill his son, he would be considered a son of a human being."

"you!"

Zhao Zhen wanted to curse, but when he saw the helpless look on his face, he shut up. He tugged his ears bitterly and said: "How can a man who is a king use such dirty methods? If this matter gets out, your I don’t need any more fame.”

Zhao Fang tilted his head and hissed with a grin, but he still said back: "My son is not a king. This is for you, dad, and has nothing to do with me."

"You...even if you are not a gentleman, you have read the books of sages. Don't you know that a gentleman is upright?"

"Tch! My son is only 13 years old. How can he be a gentleman? Wait until I am 20 years old before I say this."

Zhao Zhen, whose liver ached from being poked, sighed quietly after a long while: "You worked really hard for your mother, but I am also your father, your biological father."

"I know, if someone slanders my father, my son will still fight against him."

Zhao Fang gave him a stingy look, then turned his head and hummed, and even arched his ass, it seemed that it really hurt.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this action, and teased: "I protect your mother so much, and you are beaten like this by her. Dad has never beaten you."

"Tch! Dad, just gloat over your misfortune. I would be happy if my mother beat me."

Zhao Zhen sat speechless for a while and then asked softly: "What does eldest brother think of the Zhang family?"

Zhao Fang turned to look at him, and he quickly added: "Concubine Zhang's natal family."

"His house..."

Zhao Fang thought about it seriously before speaking: "Her uncle is actually not a bad person. In the past two years, he has been a bit spoiled and arrogant, but not chaotic. Generally speaking, he can still abide by his duties as a minister."

"Oh, brother, do you really think so?"

"Yeah! If you have something to talk about, my son won't be so petty."

Zhao Zhen saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he nodded and said hesitantly, "But Dad wants to... forget it."

"Don't think about it, dad. Let me tell you this, son. Do whatever you like. As long as you don't touch my mother, my son doesn't care. Besides, dad has never thought that it is his son who has the final say as to who you will be buried with in a hundred years." .""hiss!"

Zhao Zhen inhaled as if he had a toothache. Zhao Fang's threat was the most deadly. Ancient people were not like modern people, caring only about life after death.

As the saying goes, things will die as things will happen. Thinking of his son's stubborn temper, Zhao Zhen knew that all his calculations were useless.

If Zhao Fang was like his own character, he might not dare to mess around. The minister of etiquette for the joint burial of the emperor and empress would argue with reason, as long as he set his name before his death.

But the problem is that he knows that his son is much stronger than him, so today he still came up with this incident of framing the minister for assassination.

What kind of bullshit rules are there? If he is not satisfied, no one will be able to persuade him. He is afraid that if he really dares to bury the deposed Empress Cao with him, Concubine Zhang will be thrown aside by him.

"Abandon this traitor's right to inherit?"

This sentence flashed through my mind, and I immediately eliminated the thought. I cursed myself secretly for being such an immoral thought. What did I have been working hard for for half my life? Isn't it benevolence, righteousness, and morality?

I couldn't help but secretly sigh that beauty really ruined the country. Even someone like me almost fell into it, and suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Fang became impatient. He shook his head and stood up and said, "Have a good rest and stop meddling in the affairs of the court. Don't worry about your mother's affairs. No one can change her position."

Zhao Fang immediately burst into laughter and nodded his head in response, "Yeah, yeah."

Zhao Zhen took two steps and then stopped. He turned around and said, "Qing Bao is suspicious of this matter. He won't tell anyone, but I can't guarantee that others won't suspect it. I'm afraid you will be impeached next."

"I know, I know. My son also figured it out later. There are too many doubts. If you like to impeach, I won't admit it anyway."

Zhao Fang looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Zhao Zhen raised his hand angrily, but when he saw his buttocks wrapped in rice dumplings, he shook his head and put it down.

When he saw Empress Cao outside, he sighed and asked, "Queen, are you going back to the palace together?"

Queen Cao glanced at him, nodded and stood up. She turned to the maid Caiping and said, "Go and tell your elder brother to take good care of yourself."

"promise!"

When looking at the color screen and entering, Zhao Zhen looked around and frowned: "Didn't the second brother and the third brother come over?"

Empress Cao replied calmly: "I came here before, but I drove me back."

Zhao Zhen was puzzled, but seeing her reluctance to say anything, he had to swallow it and ask again. After returning to the palace, the chamberlain He Chengyong reported in a low voice: "When the Empress arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, Mr. Han Guo and Mr. Zhao Guogong were arrested. King Wei taught you a lesson. If the queen wants to beat King Wei, she will rush back without letting him look twice."

"Teach him a lesson! What should he teach him?"

"The villain dare not say."

Zhao Zhen was very curious as to how his eldest son, who always loved his younger brothers and sisters, would teach them a lesson, but He Cheng's cautious look made him frown.

"Say it, and I will grant you no guilt."

"Yes, it is reported that King Wei taught the two princes that if he is deposed, they must remember to protect the queen..."

Zhao Zhen felt angry and funny when he heard it. It seemed that his son also knew that he had done something wrong this time, but these words made him angry. This was not a lesson at all, it was simply instigation.

"Don't be angry or angry, it's your own fault, it's nothing to do..."

Secretly telling himself to hold back, he became worried at the same time. The suspicion was too obvious this time. Although Wang Zhi and others would be punished no matter what, it was hard to say for Zhao Fang.

If the ministers feel that Zhao Fang's behavior is too cruel, they may be abandoned. After all, Zhao Zhen is more than just his son.
