Funing Hall

It is Zhao Cong (His Majesty) who is here!

Before everyone could react, a second voice came: "Who is going to bully my little Eleven again?"

After all, Zhao Cong's figure finally appeared at the entrance of the main hall of Kunning Hall.

The hall was brightly lit, and the gate of the hall alternated between light and dark. Zhao Cong, who was wearing a black gown and a moonlight cloak, happened to be standing at the alternate place.

Darkness and light are in him alone.

Zhao Shishi couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Zhao Cong found him accurately and smiled slowly at him.

She still had a sick face, but her smile was brighter than countless jewels, and her smile was more gentle than any jade.

Zhao Cong walked into the hall and reached out to Zhao Shishi: "Come here."

Zhao Shishi has not recovered yet.

Tears welled up in Chaxi's eyes, and she gently pushed Zhao Shishi's back.

Zhao Shiyi finally came back to his senses, he looked at Zhao Cong's hand, he knew he shouldn't hold Zhao Cong's hand.But Zhao Cong was already completely surrounded by the lights, Zhao Cong smiled so kindly, and Zhao Cong smiled so warmly.He never knew that there really was such a person, so that even if he saw it, he could feel at ease.

Bewitched, he stood up, stepped over the low table, and even kicked down the wine bottle, the liquor stained his clothes.

But he didn't care, he walked up to Zhao Cong, reached out and held Zhao Cong's extended hand.

Zhao Cong held his hand tightly, and then looked at Empress Dowager Sun, who was sitting far away from him.

Zhao Cong was followed by Zhao Zongning, Qian Yuemo, Rantao and Fulu.

Zhao Zongning laughed and knelt down first. Qian Yuemo showed a gentle smile and knelt down together with Rantao and Fulu.

Cha Xi, Ji Li and Ji Xiang let go of the people in their hands, and immediately knelt down.

Zhao Shu'an also knelt down immediately, Weijun Wang Er hurriedly knelt down, Zhao Kelu put down the wine bottle and knelt down too.Even Zhao Congde knelt down after frowning several times.

People knelt down one after another, even the Empress Dowager Sun's natal family, until only Zhao Cong and Zhao Shishi were standing, and Empress Dowager Sun was sitting.

Fu Lu said loudly: "Your Majesty—"

The others followed suit and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Today's situation is gone.

This was the first thought Empress Dowager Sun had.

Children really grow up.

This is the second idea that Empress Dowager Sun had.

Zhao Cong smiled and didn't cry out, just led Zhao Shishi forward.

They got closer and closer to the Empress Dowager Sun, until they got to the seat, the Empress Dowager Sun smiled: "Cong'er has grown up."

Zhao Cong smiled shallowly, but also smiled weakly: "I'm not in good health recently, originally I couldn't come today, but the members of the clan came back together for the first time. Ning Ning advised me, no matter how unwell, even if it's for the sake of the clan, I have to Come here."

Empress Dowager Sun didn't believe it.

But she had no choice but to stand up and said, "Cong'er is the first seat."

"Cong'er dare not." Zhao Cong was modest.

"Why don't you dare." Empress Dowager Sun smiled, "It's just that I'm not feeling well. Since you've come, I'll go back first."

"Miss!"

"Sit down." Empress Dowager Sun took a step forward, but her head suddenly became dizzy. Fortunately, Qingming supported her.

Empress Dowager Sun smiled and walked down the high seat slowly, passing kneeling people one by one.

She has never had a moment as clear as this moment, and these people will never be her kneeling.She was very dizzy, and although she knew she had lost this round, she was unwilling to admit defeat.She braced herself, straightened her back, and was slowly walked out of Kunning Hall by Qing Ming.

But when she was about to go out, she heard Zhao Cong whisper: "Everyone, please stand up."

When she stepped over the threshold, she heard Zhao Cong ask again: "Which family is the gentleman sitting at the end, and what is his name?"

She laughed, but still couldn't figure out when exactly Zhao Cong changed.

Cha Xi immediately said: "Your Majesty! This is the little tenth prince of Wei County Prince's Mansion, Zhao Shiting! He bullied our young gentleman, saying that our young gentleman's clothes are not right, and he will be picked up! He also said that the little gentleman Your Majesty's name is offended by your name!"

Zhao Cong smiled: "I'm afraid this nephew doesn't know, I knew Xiao Shiyi's name a long time ago, and I personally allowed him to continue to be called by this name. As for the clothes, I ordered someone to make them for him."

No one in the palace answered, Cha Xi was very wronged, now she saw Zhao Cong, she didn't care about other things, she immediately said: "Your Majesty! This young gentleman's words are very vulgar, how dare he openly offend the palace rules in the palace !"

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Shiting was furious, and pointed at Chaxi.

Cha Xi stood up straight, just looked at Zhao Cong, and ignored him.

At this time, King Wei Jun came out immediately, knelt down and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's all because the minister didn't take good care of the grandson at home!"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? Is it because of Uncle Wang and Fourth Brother that Little Eleven has been raised so well?"

King Wei felt relieved, thinking that this matter could be fooled again, but at this moment he was grateful for Zhao Cong's easy-going temperament.Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for the people in their mansion to be punished in the palace? !

He was about to thank him, but Zhao Cong said again: "It's just that there is still a difference between the nine sons of the dragon. Uncle Wang and the fourth brother are both good. Not to mention our little eleven, who is very good. Others are different.

I am the emperor, the son of heaven, and the surname of this country is Zhao.

I have been ill for six years since I ascended the throne.Just now, when I saw this young gentleman and heard what he said and did, I couldn't help feeling puzzled.I'm afraid everyone has forgotten that Jiang Shan's surname is Zhao, right? "

Duke Wei looked up at him in a daze, and the others also looked at Zhao Cong in surprise.

Wasn't he originally talking about Zhao Shiting, why did he talk about Jiang Shan's surname so well?

But Zhao Cong smiled kindly, and spoke even more kindly, but the words he said were not friendly at all. Zhao Cong sighed disappointed: "It's not a good thing that life is stable. Look at the expressions of everyone here, I really forgot."

Everyone came back to their senses and shouted repeatedly: "Don't dare to forget!!"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Since that's the case, everyone here still remembers that Jiangshan's surname is Zhao, so naturally he is just like me. I hope that the Zhao family's Jiangshan will become more and more magnificent. And because this Jiangshan's surname is Zhao, we should not disgrace the gifts bestowed by our ancestors." Surname!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded again.

"That's right, what do you all think of this kind of Zhao family's children who are different from others?"

"..." Everyone present was silent.

"I thought that governing a country is like governing a family, not to mention that our Zhao family is a heavenly family! If the family can't be governed, why govern the country?" Zhao Cong's voice suddenly became serious, and he shouted, "Fulu!"

"Little is here!"

"Take Zhao Shiting and other people who insulted the Zhao family's family style down, and make him kneel outside the Kunning Hall, kneel for an hour and then promise to get up."

"Yes!"

"Nian is his first offense this time, just kneel down, no other punishment will be given, and he will not be expelled from the Zhao family. I hope everyone will remember that in the future, if any descendants of the Zhao family dare to speak insanely like this, they will all be expelled from the Zhao family The Zhao family does not recognize such descendants!"

Ben stood up, and the clan members who had been sitting obediently knelt down along with him unknowingly.

Zhao Cong said to Fu Lu again: "Look at Zhao Shiting yourself. When kneeling, your back should be straight and your eyes should be straight ahead. You should have a standing posture when you stand, and you should have a posture when you are sitting or lying down. You should be punished accordingly."

"Yes!"

Zhao Shiting was dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Why! You are a sick and weak—crack!"

Chaxi stepped forward and slapped him hard.

The last time Chaxi beat Mrs. Qi, but now she is no longer born by hand.

"How dare you, a court lady, beat me?!"

Cha Xi slapped him again, and said with a smile: "Although the servant girl is a maid, she is a maid of His Majesty's, a maid of Funing Palace! Xiao Shilang, you deceived me in Funing Palace last time in Weijun Prince's Mansion. My little lord, the servant girl said nothing for the sake of King Wei and the prince, but she is in the palace at this time, are you still awake?!"

Chaxi's voice was clear and crisp, and the words were clanking, echoing in everyone's ears.

Cha Xi remembered what His Majesty and Rantao said, how could they help His Majesty if they were servants who couldn't stand up?Just now, when His Majesty is coming, she let others bully them, she is really confused again!From now on, regardless of His Majesty's presence, she will stick to the face of Funing Hall, even if she dies.

Your Majesty is gentle, no problem.

They come violent.

"It turns out that this young gentleman loves bullying so much at such a young age?" Zhao Cong asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty!!" Wei Junwang rushed forward a few steps, his words were full of pleading.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I said, he is him, you are you. It's just that I heard something said by the maid, but I remembered something. Our Zhao family, the Taizu set the family name for each family. This It turned out to be a gift, and even more a blessing. Today, I think that this young gentleman is really not worthy of this blessing and gift. Anyway, without bothering Zongzheng Temple, I will personally change his name."

Everyone was dumbfounded and lowered their heads even lower.

It is true that Mr. Xiao Shilang's words were inappropriate, but the real crime does not end there!

"From today onwards, the family name of this young gentleman will be removed, and Zhao Shiting will be renamed Zhao Ting. The names of his descendants can be included in the family tree of the Zhao family, but no one, no matter male or female, can use the family name! The historian will record what he said truthfully, and I hope future generations will remember it.”

"..."

Everyone was in a trance, and the Tian family's surname is not only Zhao.Without this surname, how is it different from ordinary people with the surname Zhao?But he wanted to record the names of Zhao Ting and his descendants on the family tree, which attracted everyone's attention and ridicule.

This move is really ruthless.

"Fulu, take him out."

"Yes!" Fu Lu took Lu Yuan and other young eunuchs to drag Zhao Shiting forward, Zhao Shiting's cheeks were already swollen from Cha Xi's beating, and he was suddenly startled by Zhao Cong's words, and for a moment he really forgot to speak.He didn't come back to his senses until he was dragged out of Kunning Hall, kicking his legs to speak, Lu Yuan quickly stuffed a cloth towel into his mouth.

That's how people were dragged out.

The hall was still eerily quiet.

Zhao Cong was still laughing: "I haven't shown up for a long time, I'm afraid you can't get used to it yet."

"Don't dare!!"

"Because of Zhao Ting's incident, I remembered something again." Zhao Cong looked at everyone, "After the death of the old King Hui, no one took care of the Zongzheng Temple. I was in poor health in the past, and I couldn't manage it. It happened to happen today Now, I already have someone in my mind." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Kelu and called out, "Second brother."

Zhao Kelu got up immediately: "Your Majesty."

"When Uncle Wang of Lao Hui County was still there, Uncle Wang took the position of Minister of Zongzheng Temple and he has been doing quite well. I see that the second brother is quite like Uncle Wang."

"Your Majesty, I dare not compare myself with my father."

"Second brother, you don't have to be humble. I will appoint Zhao Kelu, king of Hui County, as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple today!"

Zhao Kelu frowned slightly, and could only bow in response: "I will definitely do my best."

Zhao Cong looked at the crowd again: "I have said that governing a country is like governing a family. If the family is not well governed, it is difficult to govern the country. The Zhao family's family is useless if it depends on me alone. In Zongzheng Temple, even in the court, there are many The position is vacant. I think it's better to train more of my own family members, only if our Zhao family is better, Da Song can be better."

Everyone's spirits trembled!

Taizu was really afraid of the clan, never gave them real jobs, and set rules.

It is good to have a leisurely retirement, but that is also a self-comforting word when there is no way out. Who doesn't know that only holding power is the most practical?Those benefits given by the palace every season, if you can really take up a real job, the filial piety of the subordinate officials is more than that!

Zhao Cong can tell what's going on in his heart by the look of the audience.

He secretly smiled, he is not stupid, these people surnamed Zhao only eat and do not work all day long, they only know how to enjoy themselves by walking birds, drinking and listening to music, how can such a good thing happen? !From now on, everyone will have to work to make a living under his hands!But work is also very particular, the prime minister, important positions in salt, wine, and iron, must not be given to the clan members, lest they grow their hearts.

There were a lot of boring positions in Zongzheng Temple, so they were asked to grab one round first.

Zhao Cong said softly: "After a while, the second elder brother will come into the palace and bring out a charter with me."

"Yes." Zhao Kelu saluted.

The others were overjoyed and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
