Especially when he saw Zhao Huan's disapproving look on his face, Zhao Ji was even more furious. He wished he could punish this traitor on the spot right now!
But in the end, reason defeated anger. Although his eldest son was manic, he did have real abilities.
Nowadays, among all the princes and princes, the only one Zhao Ji can rely on is Zhao Huan.
But at this moment, Zhao Huan not only failed to restrain himself, but intensified his actions.
"If your Majesty really has nothing to do, he will root out the Cai clique's members, from Cai Jing to his clan members, and kill them all. There will be no unjust, false, or wrongful convictions."
These words are already suspected of tampering with the government and intending to control Zhao Ji!
If it had come from someone else's mouth, Zhao Ji would have killed him long ago, but this person happened to be Zhao Huan.
Moreover, Zhao Huan has always been known for being "unobtrusive".
Now in the court, there are two people whose opinions can be ignored directly. One is Zhou Pu and the other is Zhao Huan.
Although the personalities of these two people are not completely comparable, they are surprisingly consistent in terms of being annoying.
Zhao Ji did not respond and snorted: "Marrying Xianglan is not something you can decide, let alone Zhu Lian."
"This is the common intention of the Queen and I. Do you dare to disobey?"
Hey! Zhao Huan is so brave!
He has just made a great achievement. At this time, even if he is the king of a country, he cannot touch a hair on his body, otherwise he will surely be drowned by the spitting stars.
At least in the short term, Zhao Huan is not afraid of anyone!
Seeing that Zhao Huan was about to refute, and that it was very likely that Zhao Ji would be unable to come to power, Zhao Ji responded quickly and immediately changed the subject.
"The queen summons you to the palace. Go and tell the queen yourself!"
After saying that, Zhao Ji stood up and rolled his sleeves, preparing to retreat. However, as soon as he took two steps, Zhao Huan's angry voice came from behind him.
"Your Majesty, you didn't take your painting."
Zhao Huan pointed to the beautiful flower and bird paintings on the imperial desk and deliberately reminded Zhao Ji loudly, with full of irony in the words.
Zhao Ji pretended not to hear and left without looking back.
As soon as he left the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Ji gritted his teeth angrily: "This traitor, sooner or later I..."
Before he finished speaking the cruel words, Zhao Ji swallowed them back and sighed helplessly: "I have raised such a son, should I be happy or depressed?"
Seeing Zhao Ji being angered, Zhao Huan was relieved and secretly taunted in his heart: "Don't you admire the innocence of officials? I will let you suffer the pain of being innocent!"
Freedom of speech is a good thing, but the Song Dynasty had its own national conditions. When it was facing external and internal troubles, it still tried to say that officials were innocent. This was because it was afraid that there were not enough foolish ministers and traitors who would harm the country!
If the treacherous ministers and traitors can say it, naturally Zhao Huan can also say it, and even more unscrupulously than what they say.
Not long after, Zhao Cen, led by the eunuch, arrived at the queen's palace.
He was extremely arrogant before, but his face changed as soon as he walked in. After all... he who knows the current affairs is a hero.
"Mother!"
The moment Zhao Huan saw Queen Xiansu, he knelt down at Queen Xiansu's feet, pretending to be excited.
"My son misses his mother so much."
"If His Majesty hadn't stopped him from entering the palace during these days, he would have come to visit his mother long ago."
Zhao Huan demonstrated the four words "shameless" vividly.
The other princes all called Queen Xiansu their mother, but Zhao Huan shamelessly called her his mother directly.
and……
He had no intention of entering the palace to visit Queen Xiansu, and directly poured dirty water on Zhao Ji.
Queen Xiansu wanted to get angry at first, but when she saw Zhao Huan's understanding, she swallowed the scolding that came to her lips and just let out a light snort that was not painful.
"You are an unfilial son, but you still have as many reasons as ever."
"I don't know. I thought I was waiting for you to enter the palace day and night."
"You killed the leader of the rebels thousands of miles away and shocked the Song Dynasty. I am naturally proud of you. However, the fact that you contradicted His Majesty made me extremely unhappy."
"Even if you are talking behind closed doors and in private, as a son, you should be respectful to your father."
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How did mother know? Did you send someone to monitor His Majesty?"
Queen Xiansu picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake beside her and hit Zhao Huan on the head. Although it didn't hurt, the pressure was very strong.
"Why do I need to monitor His Majesty?"
"His Majesty sent someone to inform me that you, a rebellious son, first disrespected His Majesty, and now you falsely accuse me."
"Come here, bury this beast in the back garden!"
In a blink of an eye, several maids walked in.
These maids are not ordinary. They all have expressionless faces and cold eyes. They can tell they are cruel and ruthless at a glance.
Zhao Huan naturally knew that Queen Xiansu would not really kill him, but he still deliberately looked aggrieved.
"Mother, spare my life."
"My son is also feeling aggrieved. His Majesty's words are too quick. Before my son's hind legs arrive, he has already sent someone to complain to my mother."
"His Majesty clearly deliberately asked his mother to fix his son."
"but……"
"As long as you are a mother, your children will be beaten and scolded at will, and you will never frown."
Seeing that Zhao Huan, who was the most powerful person in the previous dynasty, was so obedient and obedient as soon as he entered the harem, Queen Xiansu's "motherly power" was greatly satisfied.
Even in Queen Xiansu's heart, she had already regarded Zhao Huan as her biological son.
Several martial maids also withdrew wisely.
Queen Xiansu sat on the phoenix throne, looking down at her well-behaved son, and she was both angry and fond of her well-behaved son.
He obviously wanted to slap him loudly, but he couldn't bear to do it.
"Explain, why don't you want to marry Xianglan?"
"Xianglan is my close servant and your childhood playmate. They are childhood sweethearts. Is it possible that you have forgotten all about Xianglan's good qualities after leaving the palace for many years?"
Xianglan was standing nearby. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes were filled with sadness.
She lived deep in the harem, and the people she came into contact with were either nobles or eunuchs, but Zhao Huan was the only real man.
As early as when she first fell in love, she had secretly promised him.
It's just that there are too many political interests involved, and she doesn't dare to have any expectations for Zhao Huan.
Now, the situation has changed.
Zhao Huan was already well-known in the court, and he was so majestic and domineering that even members of the Cai faction had to avoid his edge.
At this time, it was undoubtedly just right for Queen Xiansu to promise her to Zhao Huan.
But Zhao Huan refused, and Xianglan's heart was full of resentment and lamentation. After all, the new person wins over the old person. With Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun, Zhao Huan had already forgotten the old sister Xianglan.
Xianglan secretly made up her mind that if she couldn't marry Zhao Huan, she would never leave the palace and marry anyone casually. The worst she could do was stay in the palace until she grew old and become an old nanny.
Zhao Huan secretly glanced at Xianglan, feeling guilty in his heart.
