Call me more
When Xia Yuan received the summons and came to the side hall of Kunning Palace, although Emperor Hongzhi had calmed down, his face was still as heavy as water.
Looking at such a face, Xia Yuan did not dare to call him daddy, and bowed politely, "I have met your majesty."
"Um."
Emperor Hongzhi responded and asked with a dull face: "Have you, the husband-in-law, ever known about Xiurong's situation in the Zhao family these years?"
After hearing this, Xia Yuan roughly understood what was going on, and said sincerely: "I can guess some of it."
"Guess some?"
"Well, I can roughly guess that Xiaolizi's life in the Zhao family is not very good, so I don't ask her about it for fear of arousing her sadness."
This was said very honestly, without any deception. Xia Yuan really didn't ask these questions, and he was indeed afraid of bringing back those bad memories of Xiaolizi, not to mention she was still a little crybaby.
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's expression seemed to soften, and he immediately handed over the secret report in his hand, "Take a look at these."
Xia Yuan stepped forward and took the secret report, and read it line by line. He found that there were some educated people in the Dongchang, and the report written was not in vernacular, and there were quite a few idiosyncrasies in it.
It's a comparison and a confrontation.
When he saw the content recorded here, he instantly understood why the emperor was in such a state.
After waiting for a while, Emperor Hongzhi estimated that he had almost finished reading, and asked, "How does Ju Zheng feel after reading this?"
"It is shocking. I am filled with anger. I have nowhere to vent my anger. I wish I could punish the Zhao family immediately!"
What he said was a bit deceptive. Emotionally, Xia Yuan was indeed very angry, but intellectually
It is normal for an adopted daughter to be unsatisfactory because she is not a biological child and does not have a mother. It is actually understandable to be called a little bitch.
After all, she is an adopted daughter. Only her mother is dead. She doesn't even know who her real father is. In my memory, the mistress of the Zhao family is a mean person. It is normal for her to be called a bitch.
But now it is clear that his biological father is the emperor.
She is a little bitch, then the emperor is a big bitch. This is really insulting.
Tianhuang Noble, the Supreme Being of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, who obeys the destiny of heaven above and has the virtue of ancestors below, rules all directions in Jiuzhou and governs hundreds of millions of people. Suddenly he was labeled as a bitch.
Can this be tolerated?
Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people cannot bear it.
"Ju Zheng wishes he could be punished immediately, and so do I. Just now we sent factory guards to arrest the Zhao family!"
When he said this, Emperor Hongzhi was filled with anger, and his whole body seemed to be exuding an invisible evil spirit.
Xia Yuan felt a sudden change in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, are you going to kill this member of the Zhao family?"
Emperor Hongzhi was startled when he heard this, kill?
Going back more than an hour, when he first saw the contents of the secret memorial, when those three words brought out the dusty memories, and then became extremely angry, his first thought was to kill the Zhao family.
Get it all clean and kill everyone!
but now.
Zhu Youtang was not a cruel and murderous emperor. On the contrary, he was known for his tolerance and kindness. Now, his murderous intention has gradually subsided, but his anger is still there.
And he was not unreasonable. No matter how you put it, his daughter was raised by the Zhao family. Although her life was unsatisfactory and she was called a little bitch, she was raised well anyway.
What's more, the Zhao family didn't know that their adopted daughter had such an identity.
Not to mention Xiurong, even I was also attracted by that Wan Guifei.
This concubine Wan Gui even killed his biological mother.
When Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, Concubine Wan Gui had been dead for more than half a year. Some censors proposed to remove Concubine Wan's posthumous title and arrest her family members.
There was clearly an opportunity for revenge, but he did not take it and chose not to pursue it.
Naturally, there is no point in taking revenge on the dead, and it also makes oneself tyrannical.
But his character does have a tolerant side.
Now, should I care about a small businessman?
Emperor Hongzhi asked himself for a while, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, "I don't want to kill them, but I want to teach them some lessons after all, so I will take them back and put them in prison for a few days first."
"Your Majesty is merciful."
"Isn't being upright also kind?" Emperor Hongzhi asked back, and then his face finally showed a soft meaning.
"When you encountered the marriage fraud incident, you did not go to the Zhao family to reason, nor did you make the matter a big deal. You decided to end the matter in the Xia family's ancestral hall. I accept your sympathy."
In this era, honor is of the utmost importance for women. If the son-in-law could not bear the humiliation and took his clan members to find the Zhao family, whether to break off the engagement or to demand an explanation, he would have made the matter bigger.
At that time, the only way to go is suicide.
"I'm afraid of getting into trouble."
"Timid?"
Hearing this, Zhu Youtang actually smiled, "Everyone in this world may be a timid person, but you. I have never seen anyone who dares to hold on to my sedan curtain and compete with me."
Hearing this, Xia Yuan seemed to be energized and asked: "Your Majesty, I told you about the collapse of the earth yesterday."
"get out."
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important."
"go out."
Emperor Hongzhi's face was already downcast again. We were chatting happily, and our relationship with our father-in-law was harmonious. But then you came up with this earth-collapse incident again.
Isn’t this what the pot is when it’s not opened?
He couldn't listen to this.
"Your Majesty, minister."
Xia Yuan still wants to fight for it, even if he borrows a few imperial doctors. These old bastards are just waiting to die in the palace and have not cured anyone. They might as well send them to the disaster area to shine.
"Get out, don't let me send people to chase you away."
"oh."
Seeing that people were about to be chased away again, Xia Yuan had no choice but to go out, but did not leave. He stood in the courtyard of Kunning Palace, peering into the main hall of Kunning Palace for a long time, but saw no one.
Then he coughed vigorously several times, but no one came out.
not here?
Xia Yuan increased his efforts and coughed hard several times. This time, he brought Xiao Jing out of the side hall, "Master Xia, the emperor asked you what are you coughing for outside?"
"Where is my wife?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Empress went to Shoukang Palace to talk to the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother?
Xia Yuan thought for a while, he had never seen her before, and he didn't know her. He bowed his hands to Xiao Jing and said, "Goodbye."
He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Jing, "Master Xia, wait a minute. Please tell me what you are coughing about so that we can go back and recover."
"Oh, my throat has been a little uncomfortable lately."
"Then can we find some imperial doctors for you?"
"No"
Xia Yuan just wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but then suddenly changed his mind and nodded repeatedly: "Then please help Eunuch Xiao to call a few more imperial doctors, um. His Highness the Crown Prince has also been feeling uncomfortable in his throat recently. It may be a cold. This thing is contagious. I should have been infected by the Crown Prince."
Infectious.
Regarding the situation involving the prince, Eunuch Xiao should call more imperial doctors, I will be waiting at Zhan Shifu in the East Palace."
