Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

With the wind and lightning, King Qing led more than ten personal guards to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Zeyong stopped his horse abruptly, stamped his hooves on the ground, neighed loudly, and leaped down vigorously, leading to the concierge of the Prince's Mansion. They galloped down the steps and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, my little one."

"The villain welcomes His Royal Highness."

"Get up." Zhao Zeyong handed the reins to the guards.

All the servants were enthusiastic and eager to take over the reins of King Qing's party.

Zhao Zeyong strode up the steps with his head held high, and asked: "Your Highness the Seventh Highness has returned to the mansion?"

Among them, two clever men saw that it was King Qing from a distance, and their faces turned pale with fright. They were about to slip in to report first, but Zhao Zeyong was keenly aware of the strange situation, and shouted: "Stop!"

"What's your Highness's order?" The two young servants had flattering smiles on their faces.

Zhao Zeyong was suspicious, and hurried towards his younger brother's yard, asking, "Why are you panicking? What else can this king do to Lao Qi?"

"Hey hey~" The servant followed the master, the servant smiled obsequiously and eagerly, and shook his head desperately: "Don't dare! Your Highness may be happy with your visit, but I just want to let you know."

Happy?

Lao Qi must be doing something absurd again, sending his servants to beware of disturbing visitors.

Zhao Zeyong's heart was like a mirror, he walked quickly, the corners of his robe fluttered in the night wind, without saying a word.

The little servant was so anxious that he trotted along, and after a while, someone reported: "Your Highness, His Highness Six is ​​here too, he arrived more than a quarter of an hour ago."

Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows, slowed down his pace, and asked in a low voice: "Are they talking about something?" Can you interrupt me?

"This, that..." The servants squeaked, hesitated, and shirked, "I don't know."

"Our Highness is in Fengyuexuan." A servant reminded vaguely.

snort!

Zhao Zeyong's face darkened, he turned around, and strode towards Fengyuexuan.

——Except for the Eighth Prince’s Mansion, the rest of the Prince’s Mansions are concentrated in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.King Qing is most familiar with the seventh prince's mansion, because he has been ordered and invited to discipline his younger brother several times, so he was once regarded by the seventh prince as "the most hateful brother".

after a while

Zhao Zeyong and his entourage appeared in front of Fengyuexuan, and as soon as they walked around the rockery in the courtyard, they heard a fierce quarrel: "Bang bang bang~"

The sixth prince Zhao Zewen raised his foot and kicked the door vigorously, shouting: "Open the door, you open the door for me!"

"I don't!" Zhao Zewu's roar came from the room: "Brother, you can't smash these! How many treasures have you smashed on me?"

"What kind of baby are you? They are all harmful things!"

Zhao Zewen took a few steps back, slammed his shoulder against the door, and sternly reprimanded: "Indulging in alcohol and sex is fatal! Are you afraid of accidents if you eat those things indiscriminately?"

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not just a meal! But it's just for fun, can you stop making a fuss?" Zhao Zewu said with a headache.He locked the door, and anxiously put all the bottles and jars on the multi-treasure rack into the cabinet, ready to lock them up.

"No!" Zhao Zewen was so angry that his orifices smoked, panting, he slapped the door with his hands instead, and urged him sharply: "Lao Qi, get out of here quickly! Don't do any business all day long, just hide in Fengyue Xuan and mess around with shady things." Stuff, confused and addicted to lust. If I destroy a batch and you buy a batch, what do you really want?"

With a "bang", there was a crisp sound of broken porcelain in the room.

"Ouch!" Zhao Zewu lost his hand for a moment, yelled in distress, beat his chest and stamped his feet and shouted: "My secret refining and Hehe oil!"

"It's a good fall, and it's time to fall all over! If you don't want to, let me do it." Zhao Zewen sneered.

"This small bottle cost me 50 taels of silver! It is sweet and smooth, aphrodisiac and invigorating. It is so wonderful that you can play with it all night if you rub it on a little bit." Zhao Zewu was so distressed that he squatted down Pick up broken pieces of china.

Just when Zhao Zewu was immersed in regret and grief, the sound of banging on the door stopped suddenly. He thought that his brother had gone back after enough trouble, and secretly rejoiced.

Who knows, the next moment

With a "bang", the door was violently kicked open!

Zhao Zewu was startled, and hurriedly looked up——

King Qing was standing at the door, and the Seventh Prince was next to him. The faces of the two of them were really not good-looking.

Zhao Zewu shivered violently, threw away the pieces of broken porcelain like hot hands, got up in a panic, subconsciously turned his head to look at the screen, then quickly turned his head, stunned like a piece of wood, and asked with a guilty smile: "Brother, brother, why did the third brother come here?" ?”

"What? I can't come?" King Qing asked majestically, he stepped over the threshold, and looked at Fengyuexuan expressionlessly: because a bottle of strong aphrodisiac was smashed, it was filled with an indescribably sweet and greasy fragrance, and he felt dizzy and dizzy after smelling it. Breathing and heartbeat quickened.The walls are hung with explicit pictures of sex in the erotic palace, and the paintings are exquisite and detailed.Some of the floors are covered with thick velvet blankets, some are covered with slightly concave-convex wooden boards, and some are covered with smooth white marble; , ropes, shackles, etc. On the multi-treasure stand, there are various kinds of jade gestures, hairpins with bells, small golden ball bird feather brushes, etc.; behind the screen there is a bath, a large bed, and a small terrace, and there is also a set outside. Oddly shaped tables and chairs.

Fengyuexuan is a place exclusively for the Seventh Prince to have fun.

"Welcome!" Zhao Zewu complained endlessly, and smiled apologetically, "Third brother is here, the humble house is really full of splendor."

"It's a pity that you used the right polite words." King Qing said lightly.He ordered the guards: "Open the doors and windows."

"Yes!" The personal guard took the order, and immediately opened the doors and windows of Fengyuexuan, and the flowing evening wind that poured in blew away the smell of the strong aphrodisiac.

"What's the matter with the third brother? Hey, I'll be there as soon as I send someone. How dare I bother you to come in person?" Zhao Zewu panicked, as if a disaster was imminent.

"My brother, you don't need to be polite." King Qing asked solemnly, "Why did you leave today without saying goodbye? Didn't I ask you to wait in the meeting hall?"

Only fools are obediently waiting to be scolded by you!

Zhao Zewu said sternly: "Third brother is busy with business, how can he be interrupted again and again? I was planning to go to Prince Qing's Mansion later." When he spoke, Yu Guang couldn't help but drift towards the bed behind the screen, as if there was something unspeakable .

Because of the blocking of the screen, the bed covered by the curtain could not be seen from the outside, but vague and unbearable groans could be heard vaguely, and there was more than one person.

"Really?" King Qing didn't believe it at all.

"Yes, yes, it is absolutely true!" Zhao Zewu pointed at the sky and made an oath, urging anxiously: "You two brothers, please come to the living room for tea. Have you had your dinner yet? Let's go and talk while we walk."

But the two elder brothers were unmoved, as if they were determined.

At this time, Zhao Zewen had already rushed over to open the box where his younger brother hid the sex-enhancing drugs, searched for a few bottles, turned his head and said angrily: "Third brother, come here quickly and see, what is Lao Qi's thoughts on weekdays! "

"Brother, please forgive me." Zhao Zewu begged for mercy, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, trying to stop but dare not.

King Qing went over as he said, looked down and observed for a moment, and asked angrily, "What kind of things are in this box?"

"All of them." Zhao Zewen picked up a few small porcelain bottles casually, with a gloomy face, and read: "'Liangxiao Yuye', 'Xiongfeng Wan', 'Chunfeng San'——Lao Qi, you have to rely on these talents at a young age Woke up? You’re still quibbling that it’s just for ‘occasional play’? Every brothel in Beijing treats you like a God of Wealth, Bel has face, right?”

"Nonsense! I'm a normal man, just, just..." Zhao Zewu stuttered for a while, then said angrily, "I'm just curious, don't you guys be curious?"

"People have all kinds of emotions and desires, but they can't be overindulgent, let alone wanton!" King Qing scolded angrily.

Zhao Zewen was even more angry. He and the Seventh Prince were twins, and their relationship was deep. At this moment, he closed the box with a "bang", and ordered the guards he brought: "It's all aphrodisiacs randomly prepared by quack doctors. It's all harmful and has no benefit. Come on. People, take this box out and burn it!"

"No, don't! Brother, you can't destroy it, it's all a treasure!" Zhao Zewu seemed to have collapsed, and wanted to rush up to stop him, but was blocked by King Qing sideways.

"Stop!" King Qing said sternly, "If it wasn't for brotherhood, who would rush to meddle in your private affairs?"

"Third brother, I, I..." Zhao Zewu frowns, not daring to meet his elder brother's eyes.

"Hurry up and get out, smash it for me! Burn it!" Zhao Zewen urged angrily, kicking the medicine box angrily.

Zhao Zewu was distressed and angry, lost his mind, and blurted out to scold his brother:

"Zhao Zewen! Don't go too far, why are you ruining my baby? I've put up with you bastard for a long time—ah!"

Before he finished speaking, King Qing kicked him in the knee, and he fell to one knee, his body tilted, and then he was kicked on the arm again. He was so scared that he hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Third brother, don't be angry, you have something to say!" Easy to say!"

"Who did you call 'bastard' just now?" King Qing asked sharply.

Zhao Zewen was very sad, his chest heaved violently, and he gritted his teeth.

Zhao Zewu looked up at his sad and disappointed brother, he was very remorseful, he knew that his obsession with lust was wrong, but he couldn't change it, so he hurriedly shouted: "I was wrong, I was talking nonsense, you adults have a lot, don't worry about me, okay? "

"You have disappointed your relatives after repeated admonitions, and only the sixth brother has been urging and guiding you." King Qing Lei Ting was furious, and reprimanded: "Lao Qi, you don't know what is good or bad, I don't like it, if you don't accept it, you can sue the emperor !" After finishing speaking, he grabbed the Seventh Prince's collar and lifted his feet off the ground——

"Ah! Help! Third brother, don't hit me, brother, save me!" Zhao Zewu had no power to resist, desperately calling for help, crying bitterly.

The three princes argued, the elder brother taught the younger brother a lesson, and watched a large group of guards, but they couldn't step forward to stop them, they could only anxiously persuade them to "quiet their anger".

"Brother! Brother!" Zhao Zewu turned his head to ask for help, he was terrified that King Qing would beat him.

Alas, I am unlucky to have a brother who is worthless...

Although Zhao Zewen was also angry, he couldn't stand on the sidelines, so he stepped forward to dissuade him: "Third brother calm down, calm down. Lao Qi has such a temper, he can't talk with his head, let's not be as knowledgeable as him."

To put it bluntly, King Qing let go when he saw that he was almost done.

Although the elder brother taught the younger brother what is right and proper, they are different from their biological mothers and harem concubines who are often involved in the court. It is impossible for King Qing to really hurt the younger brother.

"I was wrong! I know I was wrong, don't hit people, you have something to say." Zhao Zewu raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, as if he was wronged.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it." King Qing angrily warned him:

"Listen: you're not allowed to spend any more of your time collecting messy plasters! What's wrong with doing something else when you have time?"

Zhao Zewen strongly agreed, and said angrily: "That's right! Third brother, I racked my brains to ask for several errands for him, but he just doesn't care, and keeps worrying my father. I really want to—" Before the words fell, behind the screen Suddenly, a high-pitched, gentle and trembling call came out: "Master Wu! Lord Wu! Uh...Master...I can't help it..."

all of a sudden

Everyone outside changed their faces.

"Hey, shut up, shut up, don't bark!" Zhao Zewu hurriedly stopped, without caring much, rushed into the room in a hurry.

"Stop, don't pay attention!" Zhao Zewen chased in angrily, and then there were scolding, moaning and pleading from inside, and it was a mess.

King Qing had no choice but to step in and look up:

I saw scarlet curtains hanging on the wide bed, and there were two handsome teenagers wearing black thin robes lying side by side on the bed. Their limbs were spread wide, and their hands and feet were fixed by soft ropes extending from the four corners of the bed. Under the almost transparent black robes, they were empty and exposed His legs, chest and abdomen were red, he opened his mouth to pant and moan, and was writhing constantly due to the torment of the medicine.

Everyone was stunned and amazed!

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!"

With a bitter face, Zhao Zewu desperately explained: "I was just looking for people to test the medicine, and I didn't want to touch them at all. Otherwise, why would I tie them up? I was afraid they would pounce on me. Really, believe me, I swear I didn't touch them!"

Several servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and stood up to testify for the master, and said righteously, "His Royal Highness is really just studying the properties of medicine".

"Who would believe it?!" Zhao Zewen laughed angrily.

"Third brother, you have to trust me!" Zhao Zewu cried, and ran over to pull up the thin quilt, covering the two teenagers.

King Qing was shocked, shook his head in disbelief, and asked with a livid face, "You forced them?"

"No no no!"

Zhao Zewu swore: "They are all young ladies from the Wisteria Pavilion. They volunteered to test the medicine. The medicine was bought from their Wisteria Pavilion. I get a good reward, and most of them are rushing to come."

"How decent is Cheng? You send him back quickly." King Qing scolded: "It's too outrageous!"

Zhao Zewu didn't dare to disobey, and immediately ordered the servants to take the young man back to the Wisteria Pavilion with the quilt.

A moment later, King Qing and the sixth prince jointly commanded the guards to demolish and destroy some of Fengyuexuan's belongings, and then brought his younger brother to the living room.

few days

After the court that morning, Emperor Chengtian called the third son of the emperor to the imperial study for questioning.

"What did you and Xiao Liu do? Teach Lao Qi a lesson?" Emperor Chengtian asked majestically.

Zhao Zeyong said bluntly: "Father, it has nothing to do with the sixth younger brother, it is all done by the sons and ministers."

"I heard that you smashed Lao Qi's house?"

"No, just smashed some things."

Emperor Chengtian was dressed in black silver-trimmed and embroidered five-clawed golden dragon uniform. He paced around with his hands behind his back. When he walked, the complicated and gorgeous jade ornaments on his waist made a crisp sound. After he sat down at the desk, his face was heavy and he asked, "What have you smashed?"

"Some medicines, utensils, calligraphy and painting." Zhao Zeyong answered concisely, knowing that the incident of that night had been stabbed to the imperial court by someone.

Emperor Chengtian was silent for a while, drank two sips of tea, endured and endured, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and lowered his voice: "Okay! He smashed it all!"

"Father, please calm down." Zhao Zeyong comforted him with a stern look.

"Old Qi is 20 years old, and he still doesn't think about making progress, spends his days drinking and drinking, and is confused! It is impossible for me to tolerate him endlessly." Emperor Chengtian was annoyed and annoyed.

"Father, please take care of the dragon's body." Zhao Zeyong stood on one side with his back straight.

"However," Emperor Chengtian changed his sitting position, raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Yesterday Lao Qi entered the palace to ask for an order."

"I don't know why?" Zhao Zeyong's expression remained the same.

"Hmph, that kid suddenly became enlightened for some reason. He kept saying that he wanted to share my worries and serve the court. He asked for an order to renovate the old office of the Imperial Academy." Emperor Chengtian shook his head in surprise.

"Congratulations father, the seventh brother has become sensible." Zhao Zeyong said seriously.

"Since his attitude is still sincere and what he wants is a serious matter, I agree, and I will send the Ministry of Industry to assist in cleaning up officials." Emperor Chengtian was very interested, and tapped on the table with his fingers, saying calmly: " I'd like to see what kind of flowers he can make."

"Father has a heart of kindness and love, and I believe that the seventh brother will definitely realize it."

Emperor Chengtian looked at the imposing third son of the emperor, studied it for a while, and comforted him: "It's hard for you."

Zhao Zeyong frowned in doubt and lowered his head slightly to show respectful listening.

"Lao Qi doesn't know what is good or bad, and has repeatedly misunderstood and contradicted his elder brother. I have seen it all, but reprimand and punishment have had little effect. In addition, he was raised by your emperor's grandmother. I don't want to hurt Xianci's dignity. You must do it Brother, take it easy."

However, Zhao Zeyong said seriously: "Father, the sons and ministers also have something wrong. Sometimes they are too anxious, and they are unavoidably strict. No wonder the seventh brother is angry."

Emperor Chengtian was stunned, his eyes were soft and kind, but his face was habitually stern, the father and son were the same in this respect.He sighed, originally wanted to teach a few words, but then he frowned and said majesticly: "You are indeed a little impatient. Why are you arguing with Wu Yu today? I know that the cost of Beiying is huge, but the imperial court has the imperial court. The difficulty is that the national treasury must guarantee a certain amount of surplus in case of emergencies, and Wu Yu is not wrong."

Zhao Zeyong's eyes were piercing, and he said calmly: "Father, what Wu Shangshu said is true, but according to the law, I asked you to allocate the money for the next season last month. You have approved it. It has been distributed, but so far none has arrived! According to the plan, Erchen is preparing to recruit the second batch of soldiers in September, and is currently rushing to build barracks at full speed. As the commander, Erchen naturally wants to urge Wu Shangshu. The northern camp is related to the safety of the capital [-]. The safety of the country is the country's major plan, and the Ministry of Households is obviously well-managed, so why is it so delayed? I have to ask a few words."

"Guo Yuan is the left servant of the household department. You are really selfless." Emperor Chengtian leaned back in his chair and teased helplessly.

"Relatives are personal relatives, and the government affairs of the court should not worry about personal relationships!" Zhao Zeyong said without hesitation.

"Okay, I got it." Emperor Chengtian raised his hands and pressed down several times, and ordered: "Take back your bad temper, don't keep Wu Yu from coming down, I will urge you."

"Thank you, Father."

As soon as the words fell, Li Deying entered with light steps, bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty: Your Highness the Second Prince seeks an audience."

Emperor Chengtian raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, put his elbows on the table and clasped his hands, and said in a flat tone: "Xuan."

"Yes."

After a while, the second prince frowned slightly and stepped into the imperial study room, knelt down and said: "My son bows to my father, my father is safe."

"Flat body."

Zhao Zeyong turned around and said, "Second Brother."

"Yo? The third child is here too."

The second prince stepped forward and patted his younger brother on the shoulder affectionately, and persuaded him earnestly: "I heard that you went to beat the seventh brother a few days ago? And demolished his house? Well, even if the seventh brother is messed up again, let's be a brother." You can teach it, but you can’t do it, what if it breaks?”

"Second brother, don't worry, I have a measure."

"You're used to staying in the army, and you can't treat the seventh brother like a soldier, you know?" the second prince instructed.

Zhao Zeyong said simply and neatly: "Yes."

"That's right!" The second prince nodded in relief.

Emperor Chengtian watched indifferently, drinking tea slowly.

"Father, my son has something important to report." After the second prince taught his younger brother, he couldn't wait to walk to Emperor Chengtian, and glanced at King Qing from the corner of his eye.

Zhao Zeyong was about to resign, but Emperor Chengtian gave the order: "Come on, take a seat." Then he ordered: "Sit down and talk."

As soon as "you" came out, Zhao Zeyong had no choice but to stay, and the second prince couldn't wink anymore.

Emperor Chengtian kept skimming off the tea foam and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter with Xiang'er?"

The second prince couldn't help showing his grievance immediately, and quickly said: "Father, you sent a supervisor to collect taxes. My son dared not delay at all. I have been busy so far with all my strength. It has already been fruitful, but elder brother, he... "

"What's up with him?"

"My son is very grateful that you sent elder brother to assist you, but elder brother joined later, and there are some things he doesn't understand very well." The second prince said sadly: "Recently, several governors reported that elder brother ordered the government offices of various states not to wear swords when maintaining business order. , leading to small-scale riots in Guanzhou where traders waited for an opportunity and refused to pay taxes. In the chaotic conflict, two officials were killed and several people were injured."

Zhao Zeyong couldn't help frowning.

"what?!"

Emperor Chengtian ate the teacup heavily, and said harshly: "I have repeatedly told you: Don't be aggressive in collecting taxes, you need to plan slowly. How do you do things? Huh?"

"Father, please calm down," the second prince tried to explain, "Guanzhou is divided into elder brother's administration, and my son has just received the news, so I dare not hide it. Please make a decision to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

Emperor Chengtian shouted: "Come here, declare the eldest son of the emperor immediately!"

"Yes."

The Imperial Study Room is about to storm, but the Imperial Academy is sunny and sunny.

The old office hall, which was originally inaccessible, is now bustling with people, busy counting books.

"Quick, quick!" Zhao Zewu was full of air, his legs spread apart, and he stood still, majesticly urging all the new scholars: "Move quickly, don't delay things, Lord Wu will see the empty old hall today."

Accompanied by Qiao Zhicheng respectfully, he strongly invited: "Your Highness, the weather is hot, why don't you avoid it?"

Zhao Zewu waved his hands boldly, raised his head and raised his chest and said, "What is a mere Lieyang? Master Wu is under the emperor's mandate, how dare he not supervise with all his heart?"

Qiao Zhicheng hurriedly apologized and confessed.

"Master Qiao, if you can't bear it, go back to the house and rest. Seeing the oil on your face, the fat man can't help but get sunburned." Zhao Zewu yelled loudly, thinking he was considerate and magnanimous.

Qiao Zhicheng was extremely embarrassed, his face turned red, and after a long while, he forced a smile and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness, but I am supposed to assist you, and you must not neglect your duties."

"But you have already dereliction of duty." Zhao Zewu pointed out bluntly: "So many books are all rotten, how do you manage things?"

"Official, official..." Qiao Zhicheng stammered.

Rong Youtang and Xu Lingyun were quickly recording the damaged books in the courtyard, trying to hold back their laughter.

After working for half a day, all Jinshi completely emptied the old hall, and Zhao Zewu also finished discussing with the people from the Ministry of Industry's Cleaning Department.

At dusk, everyone went home, but Zhao Zewu called Rong Youtang to a secluded place.

"What is your Highness' order?" Rong Youtang asked warily.

"A few days ago, you were so frightened that you rolled around in the street. Master Wu gave you a good thing to calm your shock." Zhao Zewu said generously.

Rong Youtang had a bad intuition, and decisively declined: "It's okay to be an official, I dare not accept the good things from Your Highness."

"Tsk, you must like it! Master Wu worked so hard to hide it."

As soon as Zhao Zewu pouted, his bodyguard handed over a jade box that was as big as a palm and several inches high, Zhao Zewu stretched out his hand to take it, and lamented: "Now that I'm being watched closely, I shouldn't let the treasure fall into ashes, it's my right to make an apology for teasing you. Take it!" After finishing speaking, she forced herself into Rong Youtang's arms, got on her horse and left.

"Wait! His Royal Highness——"

Rong Youtang hurriedly chased after him, but failed to return it, he held up the jade box and looked down curiously, wondering whether to laugh or cry.
