I will never be Renzong

Chapter 100 The Dust Settles
"Official family! Are you questioning Ai's family for framing Wang Xianggong?"

Liu E saw Zhao Zhen blocking him and spoke directly.

"Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta!"

As soon as Liu E finished speaking, pairs of soldiers poured in from outside. This time there were obviously more people than Liu Congde led. The soldiers who came in were all wearing black clothes and black armor, and they were the newly formed Qiaoqi Army.

"Who dares to bring soldiers into the palace?"

Liu E can't see, but her ears are not deaf.

"The last general, Cao Wei, was ordered by the official family to lead the army into the palace to escort him late, and he still hopes that the official family will punish him!"

Cao Wei came to the front of the hall and bowed to Zhao Zhen.

The ministers present took a breath at the same time, wondering what's going on with Nima today, it is possible that the officials and the queen mother are going to meet each other today.

"Cao Wei! You are so courageous. Without the edict of the Ai family and the consent of Cao Xianggong, you dared to lead an army into the Chongzheng Palace privately, and someone came to take it down for the Ai family!"

Liu E shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Liu Congde wanted to lead his men forward to capture Cao Wei.

"Wait a minute! If I remember correctly, our emperor Taizu stipulated that the emperor directly controls the establishment, deployment and command of the army. Under him are three yamen, privy envoys, ministers and commanders. According to the ancestral system, I do not I have reached the age of pro-government, but I don’t remember Taizu or Taizong ever saying that an emperor who does not pro-government has no military power? Isn’t that right?”

Zhao Zhen asked back.

There was a sound from outside, and a general of about 40 years old led several generals walking in calmly.

"The last general, Zuolong Wuwei General Li Zunxu[xù] was ordered by the official family to escort him late, and I hope the official family will forgive him!"

Li Zunxu is the son-in-law of Zhao Qingya, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Ji.

"Get up!"

Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"Liu Congde! Did you lead the Imperial City Secretary into the Chongzheng Hall to escort you? Or forced the palace?"

Zhao Zhen turned to Liu Congde and asked.

"Go back to the official's house! The Imperial City Secretary is the emperor's own army, and the minister is naturally here to escort him!"

Liu Congde thought that things have come to this point, the general situation is over, and it is futile to resist, it is better to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, maybe the family can be preserved.

Seeing this, Liu E immediately slumped on the soft chair. She didn't expect Zhao Zhen to have such a trick.

"This time when the villain entered the palace and hurt the eyes of the Ai family, I just thought about it carefully. The Ai family was to blame. If it wasn't for the Ai family's ignorance, how could they have ended up like this? Fortunately, the officials are wise and powerful, and they know everything well. As for whether Wang Xianggong and the court officials were involved in it, the Ai family no longer wants to pursue it. The Ai family is blind. It is a good thing and a bad thing. The bad thing is that the Ai family can no longer deal with it. The government is over, and the good thing is that Ai's family can live in the harem to take care of themselves! As for the affairs of the court, the official family can discuss with Concubine Yang and other ministers to decide! People are old and have suffered from this disaster, so they can't sit for a long time, so Ai's family will return to the palace went!"

After finishing speaking, he staggered out of the Chongzheng Hall with the support of the nobleman Liu Lanxiang.

"Where is Zhou Yong?"

After Liu E left, Zhao Zhen shouted loudly.

"Go back to the official's house! The end is here!"

Zhou Yong hurriedly paid homage to his birth.

"The chief officer of the Imperial City Division has been ill for a long time, and it is too embarrassing to use him. Now I allow him to resign and go into seclusion, and I will take over as the official of the Imperial City Division."

Although Liu Congde surrendered, he thought that Liu E had already been blacklisted by Zhao Zhen just now, so organizations like the Imperial City Division should be in his own hands.

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhou Yong said happily, thinking to himself, he is just a small commander, and now he is in charge of the Imperial City Department, this is a sudden promotion to N rank!

"The officers and soldiers have made great contributions to the rescue and should be rewarded! I will also discuss political affairs with all the ministers. Please go back to your respective places!"

Zhao Zhen just said a reward, as for Cao Wei and Li Zunxu, Zhao Zhen didn't have any rewards.

"I think all the ministers have understood what the aunt said just now. As for Concubine Yang, I have said that she will never interfere in politics. If that is the case, don't disturb her old man's peace anymore! Do you think so?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

"Your servants would like to obey the imperial edict!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the ministers below knelt down and worshiped.

"Exemption! Today's court meeting, can all the ministers have their own performance?"

After the court meeting, all the ministers hurriedly left the palace with trepidation, as if everyone was afraid of leaving too late, and would be regarded as a traitor.

It was night, and the Funing Hall was brightly lit.

Huamei and Zhang Mao came hand in hand, and Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea before asking, "Have you cleaned it?"

Zhang Mao glanced at Huamei, who said just now: "Go back to the official house! Except for the palace servants who turned to Concubine Yang, the rest have been dealt with cleanly. It's just that Guo Xiunv should be dealt with, and I hope the official family will clarify!"

"Kill the child! As for the people."

Zhao Zhen thought about executing her directly, but it would be a pity for a young girl in her prime to die like this, and all of this was Zhang Qi's fault.

"Let's do it! Doesn't the eldest lady like her? She should be demoted to a palace maid and serve the eldest lady in the Jingxin Garden!"

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Zhao Zhen cleaned the harem, eradicated Liu E's confidantes, and moved Liu E from the Ciyuan Hall to the Jingxin Garden in the name of recuperating his body.

"Zhang Duzhi! Jingxin Garden will be under your control from now on, remember, don't even let me put a fly in it!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Jingsheng and said.

"The minister takes orders!"

Zhang Jingsheng hurriedly prayed.

"I have issued an edict to consecrate the beautiful lady Ren Qing'er as a beauty and live in the main hall of Qifang Pavilion! The talented Zhang Yingying lives in the main hall of Cuilun Pavilion, and the noble Liu Lanxiang"

"Promote to be a talented person and go to Jingxin Garden to serve the Queen Mother!"

It must have been Liu Lanxiang who tipped off Liu Congde in the harem, but even so, Zhao Zhen still didn't want to punish her severely. After all, she was his first woman.

After everything was dealt with, Zhao Zhen just sat down on the chair with relief. From last night to now, he was really tired.

"Officials! Concubine Yang is here!"

Thrush came forward to report.

"The little lady is here, and my son is far away to welcome me! I hope the little lady will forgive me!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly cheered up and got up to meet Yang.

"Officials! How could you treat my sister like that? After all, my sister is also kind to the official! How can the official move my sister into that desolate palace?"

Yang obviously came to investigate.

"Huamei, go and guard outside! Let me talk to the little empress!"

Zhao Zhen said to Thrush.

In Funing Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and Zhao Zhen told Yang Shi everything, because Yang Shi loved him the most since childhood, so in front of Yang Shi, Zhao Zhen could boldly and safely remove the disguise.

After listening to Zhao Zhen's narration, Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Oh! I never thought that my sister would make such a mistake. It's really."

"It's just that I have suffered from the officials since then!"

Yang stroked Zhao Zhen's face with his hands and said, but Zhao Zhen had already fallen into sleep without knowing when, he was really tired.
