Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 482: Song Dynasty: Bringing Peace to All Ages (65)

You know, when the late emperor was still alive, he raised the current Prince of Runan as his own because he had no son.

Later, when the emperor was born, the Prince of Runan was forced to leave the palace.

The late emperor's actions were indeed not aboveboard.

The Prime Minister's scolding was not only directed at His Majesty and the princess, but also at the late Emperor...

Hearing Du Yan say this, Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly became fierce.

Did he want to adopt Zhao Shu? It was these people who forced him to adopt.

However, after seeing Zhiyu standing in front of him, Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Now is the time for An'er to establish his authority, he cannot act rashly.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Zhen still gave a look to Bao Zheng, who was sitting on pins and needles in the center of the hall.

After receiving Zhao Zhen's hint, Bao Zheng felt like crying but had no tears.

After today, Bao Zheng will probably become the public enemy of all the civil and military officials in the court...

Fortunately, he had a straightforward character and did not have many friends in the court, otherwise what he had done today would have certainly severed his ties with everyone present.

Bao Zheng sighed in his heart, silently opened the box in the hall, picked out the ones that belonged to Du Yan.

No matter how upright the ministers in the court are, there are times when they make mistakes. Even if they have not done anything wrong, not all the people in their families are good people.

The box contained the evidence of crimes that the Imperial City Bureau had discovered after spending three years thoroughly investigating the ministers in the court.

It took him half a month just to look at the evidence. This shows that the ministers in the court must have committed many crimes.

When the emperor first handed him these evidences, he thought the emperor wanted him to restore the integrity of the court. Now it seems that he was wrong.

What the emperor wants to do is to establish the princess's authority...

When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. How could Bao Zheng not know this truth?

But with so much evidence of crimes before him, he simply couldn't turn a blind eye.

Today, whether the emperor wanted to support the princess or had other reasons, he brought these evidences to the hall.

He must enforce the law impartially and seek justice for the people who have been wronged.

Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the black hat on his head...

Zhiyu nodded calmly towards Du Yan, and said with a calm smile: "Prime Minister, now..., I will help you solve your doubts."

As he spoke, Zhiyu took out an envelope from his bosom and looked calmly at the gloomy Prince of Runan: "My Lord, you should open this letter yourself."

When Zhao Yunrang saw the envelope in Zhiyu's hand, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. His intuition told him that the content of the letter was not what he wanted to see.

But when he met Zhao Zhen's threatening gaze, he didn't even dare to say no and could only stand up tremblingly.

Seeing Zhao Yunrang's cooperation, Zhao Zhen withdrew his gaze, and a subtle madness flashed in his calm eyes.

If these people are really stubborn and refuse to let An'er ascend the throne, then he will become a tyrant today and kill these villains who talk about benevolence and morality.

Anyway, the group of people that An'er has trained since childhood have already entered the government, and the talents that Lord Yan trained in Yingtianfu Academy can also be transferred to the court...

Amid everyone's curiosity, Zhao Yunrang carefully opened the envelope.

When he saw the familiar handwriting in the letter, his heartbeat accelerated. This handwriting... was clearly Shu Ge'er's.

As time went by, Zhao Yunrang's face became more and more serious, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

For a long while, Zhao Yunrang smiled silently, tears of irony flowing from his eyes.

He lost...

He was betrayed by his own son...

It seems that he will never be able to ascend to the throne.

Zhao Yunrang took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his cheek, then lifted up his skirt, knelt on both knees towards Zhao Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my son Zhao Shu has been adopted by you for many years."

"I have been separated from my son for many years, and I miss him more and more. I beg the emperor to have mercy on me and allow me to return home so that I can enjoy the happiness of family life."

When everyone present heard what Zhao Yunrang said, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

What's the matter with the Prince of Runan? How can you take back a child who has been adopted by someone else?

What exactly did the princess write in the letter to the Prince of Runan that made the Prince of Runan say such words?

"Your Majesty, can you show me the letter in your hand?"

Seeing that Zhao Yunrang asked to take back his son who was most likely to become emperor after reading the letter, Du Yan felt deeply threatened.

However, to Du Yan's surprise, Zhao Yunrang ignored him.

After hearing Du Yan's words, Zhao Yunrang clenched the paper in his hand and wanted to die.

If the contents of this letter were to get out, no one in his three clans would survive.

His own son wrote in his own handwriting that he kept private soldiers. Who would he dare to show this letter to?

Seeing Zhao Yunrang asking Zhao Shu to go back, Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a clearer understanding of Zhiyu's methods in his mind.

Well, she is worthy of being the daughter he has carefully nurtured since childhood. If she doesn’t make a name for herself, she will make a big splash when she does.

The problem that had troubled him for more than ten years was easily solved by his daughter with just a letter.

However, he was also very curious about what was written in the letter that made the old fox-like Prince of Runan lower his head first.

After the banquet is over, he will have to ask An'er in person...

"Since the Prince of Runan said so, if I disagree, wouldn't it be inhumane?"

"Shu is humble, polite, and filial."

"Now that he wants to go back, I will make him the King of Xin."

"In this way, the brief father-son relationship between him and me has been fulfilled."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen raised his hand slightly and said to the eunuch Zhang beside him, "Go and get the imperial seal. I will write the imperial edict to confer the title of Prince Xin on Shu'er myself."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was about to kick Zhao Shu out of the list of heirs in just a few words, all the officials immediately spoke out to stop him:

"Sir, this is absolutely not allowed..."

"Your Majesty, the prince is on the royal family tree, how can you change it just like that?"

"Officials........."

Zhiyu sneered and looked sarcastically at the ministers who had just spoken.

"My Lords, beyond the law, there is nothing but human feelings."

"The prince is old, and it is normal for him to want his son to be with him. Why are you trying to stop him?"

"Why, when you get old, don't you need your own children to take care of you?"
