Upstairs at the city gate, two old men chatted and drank, and unknowingly drank a little too much.
The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and people were staggering around, but they still kept raising glasses to invite people to drink, not to get drunk, but simply to have fun.
Perhaps for Zhao Yun, this should be the few moments he has left to relax, take off his mask, take off his guard, and be his true self.
"Hahaha, Old Lin... can you still drink?... It seems that I have won today..."
"Shit... nonsense, you are obviously cheating. Don't forget, I drank two bottles alone. If... if we are competing, you can make up for it..." Z.br>
"Haha, the two armies are fighting, and the truth will be revealed on the battlefield... There are not so many reasons to explain."
"Tsk... As expected, those who play power games have a dirty heart... Come on, come on, it's just wine, no one is afraid of whom."
While the two were having a great fight, there was a noise coming from the direction of Royal Street outside the city gate.
Zhao Guanjia got up, staggered to the window, pushed it away and looked at it for a while, then he became angry.
"Does this bastard have any rules in his eyes? Is he so arrogant and domineering because he is afraid that others will not find his fault!?"
Being so angry, he was half sober from the wine.
Old Man Lin might have been drunk, and he stared in confusion, "Let me see what's all the fuss about... Uh, aren't they just using more horses? Isn't that a big deal!?"
"You are really drunk..." Zhao Guanjia frowned and slowly woke up again.
No, what those people wanted right now was to frame him up, and most of them would turn a blind eye to such a non-fatal crime.
And there must be some misunderstanding here, otherwise Yang Dong would definitely try his best to stop him.
Could it be that brat did it on purpose? Want to use this to defile yourself? By the way, feel the wind direction in the court?
After regaining his emperor's mentality, Zhao Yun began to think more unconsciously. How could he have imagined that Zhao Mengqi, who was so ostentatious and ostentatious, just wanted to make an advertisement.
After his thoughts were distorted by himself, Zhao Yun thought that self-destruction could be a good way to deal with the current situation, just to cool down the anger of those people.
With the help of alcohol, the Zhao Guan family thought they had thought of Zhao Mengqi's intentions, so they changed their minds and decided to give their son a perfect cooperation...
On this side, after entering Chaotianmen, Zhao Mengqi asked the team to slow down a little more.
After all, this place is at the very heart of the empire. People who are either rich or noble are everywhere, which is also the key customer group of the carriage.
When these people saw such a spectacular carriage, although they didn't make as much fuss as other people, they were still tickled inside.
But no matter how slow you go, the journey of just two miles won't take you long.
When the motorcade arrived in front of He Ning's gate, it suddenly stopped.
Zhao Mengqi didn't take it seriously. He just thought he was checking the customs, so he stayed in the car and waited. As for Yang Dong, he had already got out of the car when he passed the Liubu Yamen just now.
What surprised Zhao Mengqi was that Chang Geng ran back from the front of the team in a hurry.
"Your Highness, get out of the car quickly. The officials... The officials are in the city gate. They don't look very good..."
Lao Zhao? In the city gate cave? What are you doing there? Peek-a-boo?
Zhao Mengqi was confused, but without any delay, he got out of the car and strode towards the city gate.
Then I saw Zhao Guanjia standing proudly in the middle of the doorway with his hands behind his back and a general's belly, his face dark and smelly, as if he was owed tens of thousands of dollars.
Is this, taking gunpowder?
Zhao Mengqi murmured in his heart, but he was not aware of the danger yet.
Then he straightened his arms and held his crown, walked a few feet in front of Zhao Guan's house, knelt down and prostrated himself solemnly.
"My son is an unworthy minister. I have returned from a long journey and I wish to pay my respects to my father."
This was a public place, so the etiquette and address were relatively formal. Zhao Mengqi not only knelt down, but also kowtowed three times.
Zhao Mengqi was an honest man, without any falsehood. The sound of kowtow echoed in the city gate, making a rumble.
Zhao Guan's family will take a look.
The son, whose head was buried on the floor tiles, had a flash of joy in his eyes, but it quickly faded away, and his face seemed to be a bit more foul-smelling.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Zhao Mengqi felt that something was wrong, so he raised his head with a playful smile.
"Father, my son has only gone out to play for a few days. I dare not bother you to come and greet him in person. This is not etiquette. The ministers know it, but if you want to scold someone, why don't we go home first..."
He wanted to make Lao Zhao happy by making jokes, and by the way, he wanted to remind Lao Zhao not to do anything that would make others laugh.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Lao Zhao stepped forward and raised the hand that was originally behind his back. What shocked Zhao Mengqi was that he was holding a two-finger-thick cane in his hand.
Zhao Guanjia raised his cane and hit Zhao Mengqi hard on his head and face, causing him to scream in pain and not daring to hide.
He was beaten severely and cursed at the same time, and he was literally frothing at the mouth.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard. Your parents are not far away, so it's better for you to just run around without saying a word!"
"Run away, but are you supposed to meddle in the political affairs of this place? Your wings haven't hardened yet, and you can't figure out how much you weigh!?"
"A gentleman doesn't build dangerous walls. Why don't you know how to evade danger!? You are recklessly put on the battlefield. Is that the bravery you should show off!? Don't you know what you are carrying!?"
Originally, Zhao Guan's family just wanted to show off, but after slapping and cursing, it felt like a hearty and refreshing feeling.
As a result, the strength in his hands became less and less serious, and the curses in his mouth became more and more fierce.
"It's okay to be unfilial to your parents. You bitch, you actually dare to disrespect God. You hold a sword and bare your teeth at the sky. Why don't you just go to heaven!?"
"Also, the world of scriptures is an important part of state affairs. Can you, an underage prince, intervene in it? Only you can do it!? The princes in the dynasty don't know how to do things? Do you want to show off!?"
"... I have urged you to come back over and over again, but it would be better for you to turn a blind eye and not hear anything, just because you know you are out there in the wild."
"It's been more than half a year. I've had enough fun. I finally know that I'm back. Well, I've really turned into a savage. Have you completely forgotten all the rules and etiquette!?"
"You still have such a large number of broken carriages, you are extravagant and extravagant, and you still want to parade through the market in a grand manner, making it known to everyone. You are very proud of overstepping the rules, right? Where is your face? You still have a bit of shame. Don’t you have a heart? You have really disappointed me, how can I trust you in the future to trust you with this land of thousands of miles!?”
"I'm going to beat you bastard to death here today, otherwise you will be angry to death sooner or later..."
The cane was whipped down one after another, hitting Zhao Mengqi's upright body, making a continuous crackling sound, especially the echo from the doorway, which made everyone present couldn't help but tremble.
The brocade robe Zhao Mengqi was wearing had big holes in it, and the snow-white silk cotton from the mezzanine rushed out, and then flew all over the sky with the rise and fall of the rattan, and it suddenly started to snow in the doorway where the sky could not be seen.
Even Chang Geng, an eight-foot-tall tough guy, couldn't bear to look at him, and the others felt even sadder.
Zhao Mengqi raised his head, stretched his neck, and screamed like a big goose, but his eyes were fixed on Old Lin, who was not far behind Old Zhao, his eyes full of resentment.
Didn't you wink and say it's okay?
Why is Lao Zhao really fighting now, and fighting more and more vigorously...
Could it be that you two bad old men are working together to get me?
no? Then come and save me quickly. Why are you still indifferent? Your uncle's body is really hurting now...
Zhao Mengqi desperately sent a private message to Old Lin with his eyes. Old Lin understood it, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face, but he just spread his hands and replied with his eyes.
Oh, you can’t blame me for this. Who knew your father would suddenly change his mind?
We’ve been beaten to this point, so you just have to endure it and you’ll be fine. Don’t worry, your father’s body won’t last long after the beating...
Zhao Mengqi was almost crying with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Thinking about it, he was beaten anyway. A few less and more times wouldn't make much difference. Let's just carry it, just don't tire out old Zhao.
died.
If you really want to ask Zhao Guanjia if he is tired, he naturally feels a little tired, but it is really enjoyable to beat his son.
He had three sons before, but they all died before they were old enough to withstand beatings. It's not like he had never beaten Zhao Mengqi before, but it was either a punitive slap on the palm a few times, or he was so angry that he hit the person's heart all at once. Fainted.
Letting go of your hands and feet like this and beating your son with all your heart is definitely the first time in the bride's life that she is getting on the sedan chair.
Fortunately, the current Zhao Mengqi resisted the beating, otherwise the Zhao Guan family would never have had this experience in their lifetime.
Zhao Mengqi endured the continuous beatings and did not dare to resist or hide. He could only scream with all his strength. The sound could be heard even as far as Chaotianmen.
Immediately, three figures came out of the carriage, and after hearing Zhao Mengqi's voice, they hurried over.
"Dad, stop fighting! Fourth brother was almost beaten to death by you!"
"Uncle, if you want to hit me, just hit Jian Niang. Stop hitting Fourth Brother..."
"Guan, please spare Prince Yan."
Zhao Fei threw herself on her father and tightly hugged his hand holding the cane, preventing him from raising it again.
Zhao Han stood in front of her brother, spreading her arms like an old hen protecting her young, her little face wrinkled, and tears as big as soybeans fell from her eyes.
Qian Duo pulled Zhao Mengqi Xiang back with all his strength, "Are you a fool!? Don't you know how to walk with a small stick or a big stick? Why are you still standing there, run away!"
Looking at the actions of these three girls, Zhao Guanjia couldn't help being amused, but there was a smile on his face, and he quickly became serious.
"Ahem!" Zhao Guanjia pretended to throw away the cane, "Today, for the sake of the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law, I will let you go for the time being. If you dare to do anything else, you will be beaten to death!"
"Thank you, dad...thank you, uncle...thank you, the official family, for showing kindness..."
The three girls who didn't know the situation hurriedly thanked them. They really thought that Zhao Guan's family was determined to beat Zhao Mengqi to death just now.
Only Zhao Mengqi felt that this matter must be a big mistake, but he still couldn't figure out what the problem was. How could he imagine that although Old Zhao didn't take any gunpowder, he drank a little too much...
If he knew this, when he became emperor, he would definitely issue a decree to reject domestic violence and start by giving up drinking!
But if the Zhao Guan family knew that he had this plan, they would definitely not agree with it, because he was feeling refreshed and comfortable at the moment, how could anyone refuse to beat their son for such a good thing.
After he calmed down, Zhao Mengqi felt the burning pain from several scars on his face, and he suddenly felt aggrieved.
"Father, I have admitted the other crimes, but where does this crime of transgression begin? Those two carriages were obviously given to you and the eldest lady, and I had someone announce them to the people on the road. Could it be that No one reported it to you?"
The alcohol in Zhao Guanjia's body had dissipated with the intense parenting activities, and at this time he realized that his previous speculation was wrong.
However, whether from the perspective of an emperor or a father, one must not admit his mistake easily, otherwise where would the prestige be?
Besides, he felt that beating his son was not a bad thing.
So after listening to Zhao Mengqi's complaint, he still kept a straight face and raised his tone, "If you give it to me, it wouldn't be arrogance. But you are so public and high-profile. Even if you tell some people, will everyone in the world believe it?" ? Humph, besides, this is only a very small part of your mistakes, shouldn’t you be punished?”
No one can make such strong words...
Zhao Mengqi had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he could only say with a grimace, "My father taught me that my sons deserve what they deserve."
"Huh, I'm beating you for your own good." Zhao Guan's family behaved like a strict father. "Since the carriage has been delivered and it's out of your filial piety, I reluctantly accepted it. Madam Fen and my father went to have a look. Let's see what tricks a carriage like this can do..."
Immediately, Old Man Lin followed the father and daughter towards the Royal Street, which was already heavily guarded.
Zhao Mengqi then stood up and looked at the backs of the two old men, feeling his balls ache even more.
Zhao Han saw that he was in a state of embarrassment, with three or four red marks on his face, and felt like a knife was twisting in his heart, "Fourth brother, you must be in pain, uncle is too cruel... I saw that the carriage seemed to be prepared. Medicine, I'll get it for you..."
"Hey, no need!" Zhao Mengqi pulled his sister back and said with a relaxed expression, "I'm fine. My father is an old man, and all he has is to scratch my itch."
"You're lying. You screamed so hard just now, but now you say it doesn't hurt!" Zhao Han thought her brother was just comforting herself.
Zhao Mengqi smiled and said, "Jian Niang, my brother will teach you a lesson. If you get benefits, you should do it quietly. If you get losses, you must shout out..."
After Zhao Han heard this, his big eyes were full of confusion, but Qian Duo's eyes were full of contempt, "Hey! I should have known that you are not a person who is willing to suffer at all. You really have more mind and eyes than a lotus root. How much have you lost to us?" I'm here to save you!"
"Okay, let's go there too."
Zhao Mengqi turned a deaf ear to Qian Duo's words, took Zhao Han's hand, and walked towards Yu Street.
After being beaten so badly, wouldn't it be a shame if more people didn't see it? ?
