Chongzhao is really not a modest gentleman. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics in a mess, and he has never written any major articles. He only knows how to read military books.On the contrary, he was born with the domineering energy of the noble son of the capital.

If you don't like it, come forward, with his father around, you can't break the sky.

He hadn't tasted the tinge of embarrassment in his words yet.

Changyan was silent.

Chongzhao didn't say anything if he didn't want to, he was really helpless.It was the same in the previous life, the Li family was defeated, and if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the capital without being bullied, they had to find a backer with their relatives.

Chongzhao has nowhere to go, as long as he grinds for a few days and completely wears out his vigor, Chongzhao will definitely not refuse him.

But he just couldn't bear it.

So he gave two promises.

Others thought that Xiao Zhaohou had suffered humiliation at the hands of the chief envoy of the Nine Dragon Guards. Who would have expected that it was actually Xu Changyan who retreated and retreated for the sake of the other party, unconditionally forgiving?

Zhongzhao touched his nose and felt that he was being too rude, and said: "I was born in the army, so I'm a bit reckless, sir, please don't mind."

Chang Yan said: "There is no need to be so divided between you and me. In the future, when you go out, remember to take Yi Ning with you, and never take risks alone. Don't be in danger alone like the Yihonglou incident."

Seeing him mentioning it, Zhong Zhao asked: "The Lu family's father and son killed the prostitute | The evidence is solid, why didn't the emperor convict him?"

Chang Yan said: "Five corpses were also found in a villa in the suburbs under the name of the Lu family. In addition, the corpses were thrown in the river. The emperor disregarded the law and killed people. Lu Wu's official position is absolutely impossible to keep, but... ...The emperor has been hesitating."

Zhong Zhao sneered and said: "As the saying goes, a life is worth a life, why is the emperor still hesitating?"

Chang Yan looked at him: "It's not that the emperor is hesitating, it's the prime minister who is holding back. The Minister of the Ministry of War is not so active. Although the military power of Daqi is in the hands of Emperor Heng, it is still divided into three parts, respectively in the Privy Council's Privy Council envoy Han Yongfeng, the governor Duke Li Zhengye and Minister of War Lu Wuzhong."

Shigezhao frowned, "So what?"

Chang Yan said: "The prime minister is the head of the six ministries, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is the only person in his hands who is involved in military power. He will naturally find a way to keep it."

Chongzhao asked: "The prime minister and the emperor are at odds? One of the reasons why Emperor Hui succeeded in seizing the throne with an edict was the prime minister's acquiescence. Maybe the prime minister was vacillating between the choices of Emperor Hui and Emperor Heng back then?"

Chang Yan lowered his eyes, "The case of the Lu family has been exposed to the eyes of the world, and there is no room for turning around. The emperor will not let it go lightly. It's just a matter of time."

Chongzhao saw that his expression was not very good, and said: "You have deviated from the Prime Minister, has the Prime Minister put pressure on you?" Under a lot of pressure.

Chang Yan looked at him, his eyes were clear and clean when he was young, but now they are dark and deep, like stars in the sky that cannot be reached.

When Changyan was a child, he admired his adoptive father the most.

In his eyes, the prime minister has a clean sleeve and a righteous spirit, works hard for the country and has far-sightedness, and puts all his energy into enduring humiliation.He had looked up to that supreme position, and he had also expected to be the prime minister under Daqi alone.

At that time, with his talent and aura, he was fully qualified to be the top rookie in the officialdom, and he was enough to be the prime minister in the future.

But it was ruined in his own life experience.

Chang Yan looked at Chong Zhao and thought with great regret that it should have been a match made in heaven.

Chang Yan said: "No, the prime minister has his own vision."

Chong Zhao said: "Lu Jingsheng and I have some friendship, I want to go to Jiulongwei to see him in two days. Capital crimes can be avoided, and life crimes cannot be escaped. Expulsion from the capital is inevitable. This will be the last time between me and him."

In the previous life, the Lu family was not destroyed so quickly, and it even got worse when the Li family case happened.

Chang Yan acquiesced, "Yes. Just come directly, and I will arrange someone to receive you."

On the second day, Zhongzhao found time to go to the Duke's Mansion.

Because it was discovered in time, the red vine poison that Zhong's poison hadn't completely penetrated into the viscera, and the antidote prepared by Lin Feibai was enough to drink for a while.

Re-zhao went back to the mansion, saw Mrs. Zhong, and asked the maid, "Where is Miss?"

The maid replied: "Go back to the second young master, the young lady was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the Duke for self-reflection, and she hasn't come out yet."

Re-zhao went to the ancestral hall.The memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Li family are all inside. The ancestral hall is remote and located in a cold place. When the door is opened, the light inside the house is dim.Chongzhao saw Chongqin kneeling on the futon in the center, dressed in plain green clothes, with a hosta on his head to simply tie up his hair.

Chong Zhao entered the door and lit incense, and turned around after worshiping.

Chong Qin became thinner, looked haggard, and her lips were dry and cracked. She said softly, "What are you doing here?"

Chong Zhao sat down slowly, "Why did you poison your mother? Who told you that your mother killed Aunt Shen?"

Chongqin's eyes were cold and her voice was unsteady, "I personally asked the midwife back then, saying that my mother was pregnant with me in an improper fetal position, and it was Zhong who threatened them to secretly make my mother suffer more when she gave birth, but in the end it hurt her. My mother is dead!"

Thinking that the poison in his previous life was this undiscovered poison, Chongzhao was very annoyed, "Then who is the midwife? Is there any evidence? Just because of two alienating words from outsiders, you believed it and did such an outrageous thing." !"

Chongqin exclaimed: "What is estrangement! I have never been close to the Zhong family! Because I lost my mother, my status is low, and my father has never looked at me or cared about me. The capital only knows that the Duke and Duchess Young master, I never knew there was a concubine young lady!"

Chong Qin said: "I want power and money, but no one is willing to give it to me. I can only rely on myself."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and refused to look at the photo again.

Shigezhao sighed, "I won't forgive you."

Chongqin's side face was indifferent, and she still knelt straight, "Second brother, I envy you very much. But the ridiculous thing is, as you and I who are also going to marry out of the Duke's mansion, you are a man who was born in the first place."

With a "slap", Chong Zhao finally couldn't help slapping her. Chong Qin was lying on the ground, covering her face with her hand, even the corner of her mouth was cut.

Chongzhao stood up, "Shut up. Introspect in the ancestral hall and see what father will do with you. No matter how self-willed you are, the Duke's Mansion will no longer stand by your side."

Chongqin couldn't say a word, Chongzhao did not take it lightly, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she was tortured in the ancestral hall, so no one would give her plaster.

Chongzhao pushed the door open and went out. Li Zhengye had been standing at the door for a long time, his brows and eyes were more vicissitudes than when he just returned to Beijing.

Re-photo: "Father, Chongqin, she..."

Li Zhengye interrupted him: "If her temperament can be changed, although the Duke's Mansion can't give her riches and magnates, it is enough to be generous and decent; if she can't be changed, she will be left to fate, and the consequences will be at her own risk."

"It's you," Li Zhengye said, "Chong Zhao, I want to ask your wishes."
