He glanced up.
The brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng looked serious.
He took a closer look at the memorial in his hand.
Zhao Chongyuan's brows were completely knitted together, and he asked with some confusion: "Second brother, is this your memorial?"
Zhao Gang immediately pretended to be confused and asked: "What's wrong with my father?"
"You ask me what's wrong? Your memorial is empty, and you still ask me what's wrong?"
Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and threw away the memorial in his hand.
Empty memorial?
Upon hearing what Zhao Chongyuan said, Zhao Heng on the side was suddenly stunned and glanced at Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang's face was extremely serious, but there was a hint of vague pride in his eyes.
With a slap on his forehead, Zhao Gang said angrily: "Father, it's those dog slaves who took the wrong memorial for me this morning. Take me back and teach them a lesson!"
Zhao Chongyuan glanced sideways at Zhao Gang, but said nothing.
Zhao Heng on the side was scolding his mother in his heart.
You bitch, you know how to plot against me!
He then listened to Zhao Gang continue to say: "Father, you think otherwise, Father, you take care of everything day by day, and it will take time for your son to go back. Why don't you take a look at Lao Wu's memorial first?
Let’s deal with what Lao Wu wants to say first? "
Zhao Gang asked tentatively.
However, before Zhao Chongyuan could speak, Zhao Heng immediately stepped forward, pressed his hand on Zhao Chongyuan, and said with a serious face: "Father, I feel that my second brother's matters are more important than my affairs. Father, you might as well After the second brother gets back the zhezi left in the palace and handles the second brother's affairs, it won't be too late to deal with the affairs of the son."
Damn it!
Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Zhao Gang frowned instantly.
Vaguely, he felt something bad.
Seeing the two brothers who used to be eager to fight to the death, now looking like brothers and sisters, Zhao Chongyuan came back to his senses, pinched his chin, and looked at the two of them with interest: "Tell me, you guys What medicine are the brothers selling in this gourd?
Show it to the old man. "
"No way."
Zhao Heng smiled sarcastically and explained: "I just suddenly remembered that when I left in the morning, the slaves in the mansion seemed to have brought the wrong memorial to my son."
"Hey, I got them all wrong, what a coincidence."
Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng.
The two brothers immediately smiled.
Zhao Gang felt a little cursed in his heart!
But the next moment!
Snap!
Zhao Chongyuan immediately slapped the table, stood up and looked at the two brothers fiercely: "Kneel down!"
"Eh!"
"Eh!"
Brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng shouted.
Plop!
Plop!
He knelt straight on the ground.
That's called familiarity, that's called familiarity, that's called having the same frequency and the same angle.
In an instant, the two brothers were kneeling straight on the ground.
While watching, Wang Lishi could only cover his face and suppress his laughter.
Zhao Chongyuan looked at the two brothers angrily and said jokingly: "Tell me, old man, what are you two brothers doing?"
"Father, I..."
Zhao Gang had a sneer on his face.
"Father, how dare you, my son?"
Zhao Heng also looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a flattering look.
Zhao Chongyuan laughed and said nothing.
Holding the memorial in his hand and carrying it on his back, he stood up and glanced at the two brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng who were already kneeling on the ground in fear.
He looked at the two of them with interest and said, "It's been quite a while since you two brothers established the palace and established the vassal domain. You must have received quite a few memorials over the years.
How come,
Nothing went wrong before, but now they all go wrong together? "
Zhao Chongyuan looked at the brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng meaningfully.
"Isn't this just a coincidence?"
Zhao Gang raised his head and said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Father, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."
Zhao Heng also had an apologetic smile on his face.
"What a coincidence?"
Zhao Chongyuan sneered, and then slapped his hand on the table again. The tea on the table was knocked over.
Zhao Chongyuan looked at the two of them with a sneer: "Old man, I haven't become an old fool yet, and you are just fooling me like this?
Who gave you the courage?
Is it Qian Song?
Or Ye Liancheng? "
"Father, my sons and ministers don't dare."
"I don't dare."
Plop!
Brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng smashed their heads directly on the ground and lay on the ground with their hands.
I don’t even dare to take a breath!
"Old man, let me guess what is the purpose of the two of you entering the palace at the same time today and delivering memorials at the same time.
Do you want to deliberately make the old man angry with me?
Or are they deliberately trying to take advantage of each other?
But is there anything worthy of bringing you two brothers together? "
Zhao Chongyuan touched his chin and walked around in the Yangxin Hall.
Said word for word.
Every word he spoke scared the brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng to the point of trembling uncontrollably.
Zhao Chongyuan still held his chin and walked around the room, squinting at the two brothers who were kneeling in a trough. Zhao Chongyuan touched his chin and let out a light sigh: "Um~~~~~Old man, I understand. , some people should have revealed the news to you two brothers, and know some of my thoughts, old man.
So let you two brothers come over and test my tone, old man, right? "
"Dad, I don't have one."
"Dad, my son, even if I eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, I dare not say anything to you, dad."
Upon hearing what Zhao Chongyuan said, brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng were immediately frightened.
Since ancient times, kings have been extremely taboo about ministers forming cliques.
If the prince colludes with the minister, that is even more of a serious crime!
Even though his father, Zhao Chongyuan, knew that the two of them were close to the Ye family and the Qian family, there were some things that couldn't be put on the table once they were put on the table.
That's a complete breakup.
Not to mention whether the two brothers are qualified to continue fighting for the throne, it is not certain whether they will be imprisoned until death.
Zhao Gang gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhao Chongyuan and said: "Dad, since the fifth man is plotting against me, I will tell you the truth..."
"How the hell did I plot against you?"
Before Zhao Gang could finish his words, Zhao Heng jumped up, pointed at Zhao Gang and started to curse: "Obviously..."
"Did I tell you to get up?"
Before brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng could finish speaking, Zhao Chongyuan turned his head.
The two of them groaned and knelt on the ground again.
"Second brother, tell me."
Zhao Chongyuan raised his chin and looked at Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang immediately said: "Father, you know my temperament. I can dance with guns and sticks, but I can scheme with people..."
Before Zhao Gang could speak, Zhao Chongyuan narrowed his eyes with disgust and said, "Do you want to say it or not? If you don't say it, I'll let Lao Wu say it?"
Damn it, are you still trying to clear your name?
Zhao Chongyuan rolled his eyes in his heart.
Upon hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Zhao Heng immediately got up, looked at Zhao Chongyuan and said: "Father..."
"Father, I say..."
Before Zhao Heng could finish what he said, Zhao Gang immediately said, "Father, in fact, this news is not about the court, but about us brothers discovering that Lao Jiu is colluding with businessmen outside."
"Who are you colluding with?"
Zhao Chongyuan asked pretending to be confused.
"It's that Yongzhou businessman Li Long. Dad, you know that since the founding of the country by Taizu, the royal family has been strictly prohibited from colluding with businessmen to compete for profits with the people. If this matter spreads, we will lose the face of the royal family. "
With that said, Zhao Gang shrugged and rubbed Zhao Heng next to him.
Why the hell are you dragging me with you?
Zhao Heng had a black line on his forehead, but he looked at Zhao Gang and Zhao Chongyuan.
I can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, Father, what my second brother said is right. My ninth brother is now colluding with the Yongzhou businessman Li Long to compete for profits with the people. If word of this spreads out, it will only make the royal families of the surrounding countries laugh at me." .”
Li Long?
Is it the old man’s fault?
Zhao Chongyuan laughed heartily, squatted down, and looked at brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng with a smile: "Then what do you think we should do?"
we think?
Brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng were also a little confused after hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words.
Some people don't understand what Zhao Chongyuan means.
Look at each other.
Zhao Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Father, in my opinion, although this matter is a big mistake, the ninth brother is still young after all, and the place in Youzhou has been poor since ancient times. The ninth brother made such a mistake, and he should have been careless for a while. , so it’s excusable.
However, if I practice state-owned laws, even if the royal family breaks the law, they will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, so in my opinion,
The ninth brother should have his salary reduced for three years, and then allow him to return to Youzhou to manage the fiefdom well, and give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds! "
As he spoke, Zhao Gang looked at Zhao Chongyuan's expression carefully. After seeing that Zhao Chongyuan was no different, he said: "As for the Yongzhou businessman Li Long, I think he should be severely punished. It is a serious crime to associate with the royal family, and he Since he has a lowly status, his family property should be confiscated and his family should be exiled to the frontier to set the record straight."
Listening to Zhao Gang's words, the corners of Zhao Chongyuan's mouth twitched slightly.
However, he still had patience, looked at Zhao Heng aside, and asked: "What about you? What do you think?"
Seeing my father looking at me.
Zhao Heng swallowed another mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and said bravely: "Father, I think the ninth brother is still young after all, and it is understandable that he makes mistakes occasionally. As for the reduction of salary, three years is too long, just one year Well, after all, the ninth brother only has the title of county prince, and his salary is not much. And hundreds of people in Prince Yan's palace have to spend money, so one year is enough.
But the warning effect is unavoidable. He should return to Youzhou immediately, govern the people of the fief well, and let him serve his crimes!
As for the incident involving Yongzhou businessman Li Long, Erchen felt that his second brother was quite reasonable. However, Erchen felt that it should not just confiscate his family property, but should focus on punishment and implicate the nine clans to serve as a warning to others! "
Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a stern expression.
The corner of Zhao Chongyuan's mouth twitched slightly, especially when he heard that the nine tribes were implicated, his hands couldn't stop shaking.
But he still nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that makes sense."
He immediately raised his head, looked at the two of them with a smile, waved and said: "Come, you two brothers, come to me."
"Hey, Father."
Zhao Gang nodded in response and got up from the ground with a smile.
Zhao Heng also smiled happily and stood up with a smile: "Here you go."
"Did I tell you two to stand up?"
Zhao Chongyuan's face suddenly turned cold:
"ah?"
"Um?"
"If you're not my father, why are you using the whip?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't take the knife."
"Father, I have something to say!"
"Father, you can't do this. We didn't say anything wrong."
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
The next moment, shrill screams sounded in the Yangxin Hall.
Wang Lishi stood aside with his eyes and nose in mind, his body trembling uncontrollably...
