"Song officials are not subject to the rod! Even if you are the prince, you cannot use force against the second young master in public!"
"Besides... what the Second Young Master just said is true and every word is true. Is it possible that these days, people don't even tell the truth?"
"That's right! Hahahaha!"
With the backing of Gao Yaofu, the backbone of the Hube disciples became stronger than ever before.
They finally saw that no matter how strong Zhao Huan was, facing Gao Yaofu, he could only act with his tail between his legs.
Gao Yaofu looked at Zhao Huan with disdain.
"I asked you and your wife to come to Changchun Tower today. It's nothing more than a beating. It would be too boring to just trample you to death."
"You could have left Changchun Tower on foot, but since you don't know what is good and what is wrong, I will let you kneel out!"
Gao Yaofu seemed arrogant, but in fact he was as meticulous as a hair. His eyes were once again locked on Zhu Lian.
He knew very well that Zhao Huan was shameless and a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
But Zhu Lian is different!
This woman was from a famous family and was also the most noble princess of the Song Dynasty. How high-spirited she was?
Hitting the snake seven inches, killing people and killing their hearts, dealing with Zhu Lian is the right medicine.
"How much can you sacrifice to secure the palace?"
"Do you think that my son's return to Beijing this time is just for Zhu Xiaozhang?"
"Your father, Zhu Bocai, is a second-grade military governor of Wukang. If he conspires against you, what crime should he be punished for?"
As soon as these words came out, even Zhu Lian, who was always in a light mood, felt his heart suddenly rise to his throat.
Even Zhao Huan was shocked.
The Wukang Army is under the jurisdiction of Xingyuan Prefecture in Yangzhou, which is located in Hanzhong and is known as the Four Gates along with Xichuan, Hanjiang and Jiangdong, guarding the Yangtze River.
The stability of Hanzhong is not only related to the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty, but also the lifeblood of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future!
Once something goes wrong with the father-in-law, there will be a chain reaction, and even the way to "migrate south" in the future will be blocked.
This crime will definitely implicate the nine tribes!
Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian, as relatives of the emperor, could escape death, but they would definitely be implicated.
But the problem is...
Father and son Zhu Bocai and Zhu Xiaozhang, one in Yangzhou and the other in Guangzhou, how could they conspire against each other at the same time?
This is no longer a coincidence, but simply... unreasonable!
Zhao Huan immediately realized that the so-called rebellion was just a common trick of the civil servant group headed by the Six Thieves!
First they throw dirty water, then they conduct an in-depth investigation, then they operate secretly, and finally they are divided into pieces!
This series of actions is not just to suppress the Zhu family, but to prepare for a rainy day and eradicate the only power of relatives that Zhao Huan can use!
This life and death game is by no means limited to Bianjing.
When Bianjing coughs, the entire Song Dynasty will shiver!
Gao Yaofu took advantage of the victory and pursued him, sneering endlessly.
"Everyone in your Zhu family is in my hands."
"Kill the nine tribes, or kill the nine tribes, it all depends on my young master's thought."
"One word of difference can lead to a thousand miles of error!"
"Now, kneel down for me!"
With the Gao family's weight in the civil service group, there is indeed room for maneuver.
To kill, all the nine tribes need to do is send out representatives...
If killed, the old, weak, women and children will not be able to escape.
Zhu Lian's breathing was extremely rapid, her legs were trembling, and she had to kneel down several times to save the nine tribes, but at every critical moment, she held back.
She is Princess Ding!
With this kneeling, the prestige of Prince Ding's palace will be gone!
She could be so ruthless as to save only one brother's life, but the weight of the Nine Clans was already equal to that of Prince Ding's Mansion.
She was caught in the middle, and if she hadn't been mentally strong enough, she might have collapsed long ago.
This is what Gao Yaofu wanted.
Although this scene cannot be seen by the righteous people in the world, as long as it spreads in the capital, it will be enough to make Zhao Huan unable to stand up forever!
Gao Yaofu glanced out of the corner of his eye and landed on Zhao Huan.
"Don't you, Your Majesty, love your wife as much as she lives? Since the Princess is undecided, why not let Your Majesty do it for her?"
"Others don't dare to accept your worship, but I don't care!"
"Today, one of the princess and the prince must kneel at the feet of this young master and bow his head."
The surrounding Hube disciples looked at Gao Yaofu with extremely hot eyes.
This is the second young master of the Gao family, what a spirit!
What about the prince? What about the eldest son of the emperor? Wasn’t he squeezed to death by the second son?
Zhao Huan took a step forward, but this small movement caused Zhu Lian to react violently.
Originally it was Zhao Huan who held Zhu Lian's hand, but it was reversed in an instant.
Zhu Lian clenched Zhao Huan's fingers tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"If you kneel down, I will crash to death in front of you!"
"Remember, you are the most noble prince of the Song Dynasty. Above your head, there is only the Lord of Heaven and Earth, your master!"
Zhu Lian's face turned pale and he said every word: "I will never insult the majesty of the palace!"
"only……"
Zhu Lian didn't say any more. She had already seen through Gao Yaofu's trick, which was just to eliminate the support of Prince Ding's palace.
And the only connection between Prince Ding’s palace and the Zhu family is her!
As long as she dies, the Gao family will naturally not spend so much time dealing with the Zhu family.
"Tonight, I will contract an illness and die suddenly. I wonder if the second young master... is still satisfied?"
Faced with Zhu Lian's response that he would rather die than surrender, Gao Yaofu not only did not restrain himself, but intensified his efforts.
"Only now do we know how to draw a clear line with Prince Ding's Mansion? It's too late!"
Gao Yaofu suddenly took a step forward, his eyes staring unscrupulously at Zhu Lian's noble jade body, without any distinction between superior and inferior.
"To die, of course you have to die, and to kneel, you have to kneel!"
"If I don't crush you, how can I comfort my brother's spirit in heaven?"
"Since you can't kneel down by yourself, then I will help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yaofu raised his right hand and hit Zhu Lian directly in the face with the utmost disobedience.
He just wanted to shatter Zhu Lian's last bit of self-esteem in front of everyone, especially Zhao Huan.
This is the consequence of offending the Gao family!
No one dared to reveal a word of what happened in Changchun Tower today. Even if Zhao Huan sued him to the end of the world, no one would uphold justice for him!
Looking at the oncoming slap, Zhu Lian jumped back without hesitation.
This move is not a sign of weakness!
It is definitely not to protect herself, but...as a princess, she must not accept this slap, otherwise, she will not be worthy of the word "Ding Wang".
At this moment, a big hand appeared from the sky and grabbed Gao Yaofu's wrist.
Snap!
The force was so great that it made a crisp sound.
Gao Yaofu's slap was hanging in front of Zhao Huan. Even if Zhu Lian did not retreat, he would definitely not be able to hit her.
As an observer, Gao Yaofu had been trained in the army. How powerful was he?
But he secretly tried his best, but couldn't break free from Zhao Huan's palm!
Zhao Huan still ignored Gao Yaofu, turned to Zhu Lian and sighed softly: "My beloved concubine, I didn't mean to kneel down just now!"
