Zhao Huan's remarks were as crude as ever, but "exonerating the official's innocence" was not just a gold medal for traitors to avoid death. Zhao Huan could also rely on this method, provided that everything he did was for the sake of the country.
The powerful Cai clan member was so shocked by Zhao Huan's words that he was speechless. He opened his mouth so many times that he was speechless.
After all, besides Zhao Huan, who else would threaten to kill half of the courtiers in front of His Majesty in the court?
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
Zhou Pu on the side secretly praised him, he was worthy of being King Ding, he suppressed Cai Xi as soon as he showed up.
Cai Clan's mouth could not stand up to Zhao Huan's mouth.
When encountering a violent prince like Zhao Huan, one cannot take advantage simply by relying on strength in numbers.
Cai Tiao was unconvinced and was about to argue, but was glared back by Cai Jing.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to argue with Zhao Huan.
Seeing that the members of the Cai faction were silent, Zhao Huan couldn't help but snorted, and was too lazy to pay attention to these powerful traitors, and once again turned his attention to Zhao Ji.
"With the presence of Wudesi guards around my beloved concubine, is it possible that Your Majesty intends to execute Zhu Lian?"
Faced with Zhao Huan's questioning, Zhao Ji actually felt guilty. After all, Zhao Huan is not alone now. Behind him are Kaifeng Mansion, Hanlin Academy, Zhu Family, Yizhou...
Facing this son who was on the verge of rage, Zhao Ji, as the king of a country, actually had the idea of avoiding his sharp edge.
It wasn't until Cai Jing coughed that Zhao Ji calmed down.
No matter how strong Zhao Huan is, it was given to him by Zhao Ji, so why should he be afraid?
"Zhu Lian intends to protect the criminal Zheng Qingyun, so why shouldn't I act in accordance with the rules?"
"On the contrary, you are questioning me?"
From the moment Zhao Huan saw the Wudesi guard, the anger in his heart had already ignited, and he no longer had any respect for the father in front of him.
You even want to kill my woman? There is no such father in the world!
"Can't His Majesty be questioned?"
When Zhao Huan retorted directly, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment. He could already feel how strong the evil aura was on Zhao Huan's body.
Just as Cai Xi was about to reprimand, Zhou Pu took a step forward, and Cai Xi had to shrink back.
It is not impossible to question His Majesty.
Zhou Pu often pestered Zhao Ji. Instead of being punished, his official position rose higher and higher.
Seeing that the father and son were at war with each other, Zhu Lian quickly stepped forward and gently held Zhao Huan's hand.
"Husband, please don't be angry. It was my fault first. Your Majesty is just doing things according to the rules."
Seeing that Zhu Lian actually spoke for him, Zhao Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Again, he liked Zhu Lian as his daughter-in-law very much, but he had to kill her due to political needs.
As for Zhao Huan, the rebellious son, his reputation among the people was too high. It happened that the Song Dynasty was in danger again. At this time, Zhao Ji did not dare to touch Zhao Huan easily without justifiable reasons.
Feeling Zhu Lianbing's cold little hand, Zhao Huan subconsciously retracted his hand.
"My beloved, stay away from me, I'm dirty."
But Zhu Lian smiled knowingly and didn't dislike you at all: "I am your wife, how can I dislike you?"
"I am very satisfied that my husband is back."
Seeing Zhu Lian being so sensible, Zhao Huan suddenly felt that his life was worth it. The more he behaved like this, the less he could let Zhu Lian suffer.
Immediately, he glanced coldly at the Wudesi guards and shouted: "Although you are obeying orders, you'd better pray that the King of Japan will be convicted today."
"If this king escapes intact, you will surely die without a burial place!"
The Wudesi guard secretly cursed, who did we offend whom? Zhao Huan is too crazy. Anyone who gets closer to Zhu Lian will incur Zhao Huan's wrath?
Zhao Huan's almost crazy words and deeds are rare in the Song Dynasty. From Zhao Ji to the ministers, they are as if they are being roasted on a fire, both angry and helpless.
Zhou Pu knew that he could not continue to make trouble, otherwise the majesty of the court would be completely destroyed.
He immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "If the prince can fulfill his contract, Zheng Qingyun will not be a criminal. The princess sending Zheng Qingyun to Kaifeng Mansion has nothing to do with harboring criminals."
"On the contrary, we can add the charge of roaring in the court and having no sage, and severely punish King Ding."
If Zhou Pu could hold a bowl of water evenly, he was already helping Zhao Huan.
Zhao Ji and Cai Xi also felt that this was the only way to do it, otherwise if they continued to quarrel, nothing would come of it.
Zhao Ji waved his hand: "Back off."
As the Wudesi guards retreated, all worries in Zhu Lian's heart were gone. Even if she couldn't get through the difficulties today, as long as her husband was by her side, she would have nothing to fear.
Cai Tiao directly attacked: "What Mr. Zhou said is absolutely true. If the prince cannot fulfill the contract, then it will be a matter of business."
Zhao Huan knew that Zhu Lian did not dislike him, but he still moved a step to the side and distanced himself from Zhu Lian to prevent the dirt on his body from staining her.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "Today is indeed the day to perform the contract, but as long as the sun has not set, I have not breached the contract."
"You want to convict me within the time limit. You are the one who breaks the rules."
"If the king fulfills his promise, not only will your majesty keep his promise, but you will also salute and apologize to my beloved concubine to comfort her for the grievances she has suffered."
Zhu Lian bit her thin lips lightly, looking at her extremely fierce husband, her whole body was surrounded by a deep sense of happiness.
Cai Tiao shouted: "It should be! But there is only half a day left before the sun sets. How does the prince plan to take the enemy general's head thousands of miles away?!"
In the entire court, no one believed that Zhao Huan could fulfill his contract.
Even Zhu Lian and Zhou Pu thought Zhao Huan couldn't do it.
The Cai faction members became proud again and sneered. In their view, Zhao Huan was nothing but arrogant.
Even if he lent Zhao Huan a hundred courage, he would not dare to leave Bianjing even half a step.
Otherwise, with the Cai family's strength, trying to destroy Zhao Huan would be like crushing an ant to death.
Since Zhao Huan cannot leave Bianjing, and Yue Fei, Zhao Kun and others are trapped in Yizhou Prefecture, who else can help Zhao Huan to sneak attack Gao Tuo Mountain?
Even if it is a sneak attack, how can we ensure success?
Ultimately, it is almost impossible to take the head of Gao Tuo Mountain.
The chatter of Cai's faction members echoed in the hall again.
"Since King Ding is so confident, he should quickly present Gao Tuoshan's head to His Majesty."
"Gaotou Mountain has been rampant in the northern border for so many years, and the imperial army has encircled and suppressed it several times without success. Why do you want to take Gaotou Mountain? Hahaha, what a big statement."
"The Tiger Wings under your command are already stretched thin just to guard Yizhou Prefecture. How can they still have the energy to conquer Gaotuoshan?"
"Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to fulfill your contract? Let me open my eyes!"
