At night, Zhao Mansion.
As soon as Zhao Wenxiang came back from his shift, Qin Shuyun came up to him crying.
"Master, you are finally back!"
"Hao'er has been thrown into the sky prison again. What does Your Majesty plan to do with him?"
Zhao Wenxiang sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"It's okay, His Majesty has no plans to do anything to Hao'er this time, just don't worry."
"How come you're locked up in a sky jail if you have nothing to do?"
"You know that the empress of Shu wanted to recruit Hao'er as her son-in-law two days ago. His Majesty said that as long as Hao'er agrees, he will not object. Therefore, Princess Lige of Shu has always been interested in Hao'er."
Zhao Wenxiang put down the tea cup and continued: "Your Majesty did this because he didn't want any accidents to happen."
"Hao'er will stay in the prison for a few days, and then he can be released after the two delegations leave."
After hearing what he said, Qin Shuyun's anxious heart was relieved.
"This bastard boy is so courageous. He even dares to blow up a post house. What if he really blows up..."
She had seen the power of the Thunderous Thunder with her own eyes, and it was extremely terrifying.
Zhao Wenxiang nodded and said with a sullen face: "Yes, this little brat has just been quiet for a few days, and he did something like this again."
"When he comes out of the prison, let's see if I don't teach him a lesson!"
When Qin Shuyun heard this, she immediately felt a little soft-hearted and said quickly: "Master, you were beaten too hard. Just beat and beat."
Zhao Wenxiang was immediately speechless.
While the couple was talking, a little maid came in from outside.
"Master, madam, the patriarch and the third master are here, and they have brought several family heads with them. They said they have important matters to see you, master."
Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun looked at each other after hearing this.
Qin Shuyun suddenly frowned and said, "Sir, why did the clan leader come here suddenly and bring outsiders with him?"
Zhao Wenxiang snorted: "It's probably because of Hao'er's affair with drinking wine and having sex. Hao'er was imprisoned in the sky prison. When they got the news, they probably felt that an opportunity had come."
Zhao Wenxiang stood up from his chair: "You should rest first. I'll go over and see what they can say."
Main hall.
When Zhao Wenxiang came in, there were six people sitting in the room.
Two of them were Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ling.
The other four are the head of the Lu family, the head of the Wu family, the head of the Han family, and the head of the Cui family.
Zhao Wenxiang walked in and bowed his hands to several people.
"A few family heads came to visit late at night, and I don't know why?"
As the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "Wen Xiang, I heard about Hao'er. Because of what happened last night, His Majesty was furious and sent him to the sky prison again."
After a pause, he continued: "Because of Princess Yongning's incident, Your Majesty may have to settle old and new accounts together this time. How do you plan to rescue Hao'er?"
Zhao Wenxiang said with a gloomy face: "That little beast is causing trouble everywhere, why do you want to save him? It's better now, I can't see but don't care!"
Zhao Sheng said quickly: "It's already this time, why should Wen Xiang still say angry words? Hao'er is your only son after all, how can you ignore it?"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Then according to the patriarch's wishes, how should we save him?"
Zhao Sheng said: "We came here just to rescue Hao'er. You also saw that several clan leaders are here."
"Our big families have a lot of influence in the court. If we unite together and use the family members who are officials in the court, we can put pressure on His Majesty."
"I believe that Your Majesty will release Hao'er under pressure."
In the entire Imperial Capital, in addition to the royal family, there are a dozen large and influential families.
Each family controls a lot of resources.
There are also many children in each family who serve as officials in the court.
Just like the Zhao family.
Zhao Wenxiang has the highest official position and the most authority in the court.
But besides him, there are other children of the Zhao family who are officials.
To a certain extent, the entire court is controlled by these super families.
If they really united to put pressure on Jiang Waner, it would be very easy.
When Zhao Wenxiang heard this, he frowned and asked, "Then what price do I need to pay? The clan leaders will not help you in vain, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ling, who was sitting next to Zhao Sheng, suddenly laughed.
"Second brother, we are all smart people, why should we ask questions knowingly?"
"What we want is very simple, just dry wine and dry stocks in Zhao Hao's hands."
"As long as we take out the 50% of the gang members, we can find out Zhao Hao."
"It's already this time, second brother won't still agree, right?"
“What’s a little money compared to my son’s life?”
At this time, the most powerful head of the Lu family spoke.
Just listen to him saying calmly: "Wen Xiang, Zhao Hao is your only child after all, and he has just started to make a name for himself recently. It would be a pity if he just disappeared like this."
This Lu family is the family to which the left prime minister belongs.
Therefore, as the head of the Lu family, given his age, he is qualified to be called "Wen Xiang".
These dozen or so super families now all follow the Lu family's lead.
After the head of the Lu family finished speaking, the head of the Wu family, the head of the Han family, and the head of the Cui family all nodded to express their opinions.
Listening to their words, Zhao Wenxiang suddenly became happy.
This music immediately stunned the few people present.
Zhao Sheng immediately frowned and said, "Wen Xiang, what do you mean?"
Zhao Ling, the head of the Lu family and others also cast puzzled looks at him.
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Clan leader, and several family heads, I Zhao Wenxiang appreciate your kindness."
After a pause, he continued: "However, I won't bother you about my son Zhao Hao."
"Your Majesty, if you want him to live, then consider him lucky!"
"If Your Majesty wants him to die, then he deserves it!"
"I have raised this treacherous son for so many years, and I don't know how many troubles he has gotten into since he was a child."
"I've been tired for a long time."
"So whether he lives or dies this time depends on his own fate!"
"It's getting late, so I won't accompany you!"
"Everyone, please!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
Only Zhao Ling stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Zhao Wenxiang, I didn't expect you to be such a cold-blooded and ruthless person!"
"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds!"
"As a father and an official of the imperial court, is this what you do?"
Zhao Wenxiang looked at Zhao Ling with a sneer: "I don't need you to tell me how to behave and how to do things!"
Zhao Sheng stood up and said: "Wen Xiang, Hao'er is your flesh and blood after all. How can you just watch that child die?"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Clan leader, you better stop talking. I have made up my mind and let Zhao Hao fend for himself!"
Seeing his resolute attitude, the head of the Lu family stood up and looked at Zhao Sheng.
