Chapter 43
This was the first state banquet after the new emperor ascended the throne.
The inner palace hall has been preparing for half a month ago. The banquet is set up in the Hundred Flowers Auditorium. In early spring, the flowers are not yet in full bloom, but the auditorium is filled with flowers, and when you enter, you will feel a burst of fragrance.
Chen Zui was dressed in gorgeous clothes and ranked third after Zhao Zhun and Empress Dowager Yao and entered the auditorium.
Thunderous applause rang around, and the nobles dressed in costumes, as if they were endless courtesy to the royal family.
This is the first time that the royal family has attended an event collectively since the new emperor ascended the throne. Many media have arrived and the cameras are flashing.
"Today, many wealthy families of up-and-coming officials and noble families have arrived," Yao Yuanying said to Zhao Zhun after he sat down: "The emperor also looked at it and saw if there was any suitable one and chose the Empress of the Central Palace."
Zhao Zhun held the wine glass and looked down at the audience, and he saw many young girls.
He squinted his lips and said, "It's all mediocre and vulgar fans."
"How beautiful do you want?" Yao Yuanying was quite dissatisfied.
Zhao Zhun looked at Chen Zui and Lin Yunying next to him: "It's not worse than the eldest brother and the fourth brother."
Chen Zui is the stunning man among men, and Lin Yunying is the best among women. It is really difficult to find someone more beautiful than the two of them.
The new queen cannot be worse than them, and Yao Yuanying can understand it. However, it is rumored that Wen Liangchen is favored by her second son who has just ascended the throne, so she said, "The child is important now, so don't think about it, man."
Zhao Zhun said: "It's the same for everyone to marry, and the mother is the only one who decides."
Chen Zui sat down Yao Yuanying and heard some of it. He pretended not to hear it, and sat there drinking water with a straightforward look.
In this kind of public situation, it is not for him to eat casually. He has to pay attention to his demeanor. Even though he is a little hungry, he tries to drink only water.
After drinking too much water, he became a little anxious. He got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng bowed to him, Chen Zui smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"Is Your Highness okay in the palace?" Yu Cheng asked.
"If you have time, Lieutenant General cares, everything is fine. I will move out tomorrow."
Yu Cheng nodded and went into the bathroom.
Chen Zui looked at the guards in the corridor, looked back at Yu Cheng, and felt much more happy, and returned to his seat.
As soon as I sat down, Zhao Zhun stood up and the surroundings became quiet. He raised his cup and said, "This is the first time I have held a state banquet since I ascended the throne. Come and everyone raise their cups together. May our country be peaceful and peaceful from now on."
Chen Zui stood up with everyone holding the glass and everyone drank this glass. Who knew that after Zhao Zhun drank this glass, he said something that made the atmosphere solemn.
He said: "Since I ascended the throne and became the emperor, the country will have a new look. In the past, the former emperor was benevolent, but because of his kindness, some evil forces in China were flooded. For example, when I and the Empress Dowager first returned to the palace, they checked in the Hongmei Hotel, but who knew that someone was assassinated. I and my mother were protected by God, so I escaped. Now the case is still unresolved. I ordered the Beijing Guard Department to thoroughly investigate this matter last night. Under my governance, no evil forces will be allowed to do evil. For the sake of the safety of the people, guns and ammunition will be strictly controlled from now on. No matter whether it is the common people, anyone among you should treat everyone equally. If you have weapons at home, please hand over it immediately. Otherwise, you will be punished for regulating rebellion! Because from now on, if you have me to protect you and I am here, the country will be very peaceful, don't worry!"
As soon as he said this, he was in an uproar.
When the new official took office, his first fire burned to the aristocratic class.
Today's homes of high-ranking officials and nobles do not have their own guards, especially after just experiencing wars, people's hearts are unstable, and almost every family has weapons.
Yao Yuanying seemed to have no idea about this, so he leaned over and shouted: "Emperor."
Zhao Zhun looked at her with a smile, but turned a blind eye to her: "Everyone raises her glasses together to serve us in a new era of long-term stability!"
The people below stood up reluctantly to raise their glasses. Han Cong took the lead and said, "Is this inappropriate move by Your Majesty?"
Zhao Zhun was stunned for a moment and looked at him.
Han Cong said: "Now that the war has just been settled and the social unrest is in turmoil. Your Majesty wants to confiscate weapons, and it should be slowed down for a while. The power of the Central Guard Department in Beijing is weak. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he pointed out his shortcomings many times. If all the social security is entrusted to the Security Department, not everyone will be at ease at the moment."
Zhao Zhun said: "I say I will protect you from peace. Lord Han, no one else can speak. Do you object because you are supporting you behind your back?"
"Your Majesty is too worried," Yu Cheng said next to him: "Hundred Flowers and Twelve Prefectures, each of the aristocratic families has their own armed forces, which is an old custom that has been passed down for a hundred years. Your Majesty suddenly wants to concentrate military power and revoke their power to have weapons. I am afraid that the country will be in turmoil. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so everything should be stable."
As soon as he said this, the nobles followed suit, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Zhao Zhun looked at Yu Cheng and Han Cong, then looked at the people around him. He probably felt the isolation of the emperor, and he didn't smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were a little sinister: "Since you all said that, let's discuss it again, and find out the case of Hongmei Hotel first."
It has been so long since Zhao Zhun suddenly mentioned this matter. It should have another purpose, right?
Who does he want to take the opportunity to destroy?
The first thing Chen Zui thought of was the Yu family.
After the banquet, everyone left the seat. When they got on the bus, Chen Zui suddenly heard a scolding sound not far away. He looked back and saw that it was Empress Dowager Yao, who was scolding Lin Yunying behind her.
Lin Yunying stood beside him with her head down, her face flushed.
In front of everyone, the Empress Dowager scolded her like this, obviously on purpose. Zhao Run begged for mercy next to her, and Empress Dowager Yao seemed unmoved.
It is reasonable that Empress Dowager Yao doesn’t like Lin Yunying.
Not only her, but also Zhao Zhun didn't like his sister-in-law. The mother and son were very dissatisfied with Zhao Run's marriage. If Lin Yunying hadn't been pregnant, she would have been afraid that it would be possible for her husband and wife to divorce.
After Chen Zui returned to Xiaorose Palace, he started to pack up his things. Qiu Hua and others were a little happy and waited for the next morning to move to the Yu family.
His royal status is still there, and there are many people who have brought him to serve. Qiu Hua brought the flower list and asked him to choose. Just as he was picking, Zhao Zhun came to the door drunk.
"You guys, go down." Zhao Zhun said drunk.
Qiu Hua and others knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is..."
"I ask you to get out," Zhao Zhun waved drunk: "Get out!"
Chen Zui took a step back, opened the drawer at the bedside, took out a gun from it, and hid it in his sleeve: "Your Majesty will not go back to rest after drinking too much, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Zhun squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that the queen's sister-in-law will leave the palace tomorrow. I am a little reluctant to let it go, come and have a look."
Chen Zui was so angry that he got goosebumps on his face, frowned and said, "It's late at night, Your Majesty, go back early to rest."
Zhao Zhun took two steps towards him.
Chen Zui's heart beat like a drum. He really didn't expect that Zhao Zhun would actually attack him.
"I am a widow at such a young age. The night is long. Is the queen and sister-in-law very lonely?" Zhao Zhun asked.
Chen Zui was too lazy to listen to his dirty words, so he directly lit the gun: "Get out!"
When Zhao Zhun heard this, his expression became sinister: "What did you say to me? I am now the emperor above thousands of people. What kind of thing are you? I really think you are the queen. If I ask you to kneel down and lick your feet, you have to kneel down!"
As he said that, he grabbed the gun in Chen Zui's hand. Chen Zui really didn't dare to shoot him, so he broke free and took the gun back two steps.
Zhao Zhun smiled: "Your long hair is so charming. People who don't like men like me will be moved when they see it. No wonder my elder brother and Yu Huaiyong both like you. Have they ever slept with you? I really want to taste what this man feels like."
Qiu Hua was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He knelt down to pull Zhao Zhun's leg. Zhao Zhun kicked her chest directly. Qiu Hua called out and fell to the ground.
"Qiuhua!" Chen Zui immediately raised his gun: "Zhao Zhun, if you are arrogant, I really shot."
"You drive, drive here." Zhao Zhun said: "You are not afraid of death, and you are not afraid of the people in this palace accompanying you to die. You are in my heart." Zhao Zhun said: "I am dead, and my people can torture you all to death. Do you believe it?"
He took a step towards Chen Zui and pointed at his gun: "Do you think my life is so easy to obtain?"
Chen Zui pursed his lips tightly, and bypassed Zhao Zhun, he was about to run outside. But Zhao Zhun waved his hand and someone blocked the door with a gun. He took a step back, and Zhao Zhun quickly walked behind him and hugged him in his arms.
Holding her warm body in her arms, she felt like she came out all of a sudden, as if she had warmed Zhao Zhun's heart.
Chen Zui directly hit Zhao Zhun's chin with his elbow. Zhao Zhun probably had drunk too much and was not sensitive enough, so he hit him directly on his chin. He roared in pain and let go of Chen Zui. Qiu Hua hurriedly held Chen Zui who was about to fall to the ground and cried, "Your Highness..."
This was really surprising. They couldn't even go out to report the news, but if they really killed Zhao Zhun, they might not be able to survive.
Zhao Zhun's eyes were red in pain, and he covered his chin and shouted: "You dare to hurt me. I am the emperor. Do you dare to hurt me!"
He seemed a little crazy, covered his chin and patrolled around, and seemed not to find what he wanted, so he said to the guard at the door: "Go, go and get my whip!"
After a while, someone took the whip and came over. Zhao Zhun held it in his hand and said to Chen Zui: "Kneel down!"
Seeing that Chen Zui didn't kneel down, he said to the guard: "Take one away, strip her clothes and beat me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came up to pull Qiuhua. Chen Zui pushed the guard away, his eyes turned red, his lips tightly pursed, and he knelt on the ground.
As soon as he knelt down, Zhao Zhun whipped his back with a whip.
"Your Highness!" Qiuhua cried.
Chen Zui was pulled to the ground, his body trembled and got up, his head was like a fire, his eyes were red, and he looked at Zhao Zhun.
Zhao Zhun immediately whipped another whip.
The whip blew his robe, revealing blood stains. Qiu Hua could no longer help and threw himself on him: "Please be kind to your Majesty. Our highness has not healed his old wounds, please don't hit him again!"
"What do you think you are worthy of being whipped by me and pull her away!" Zhao Zhun said to Chen Zui: "I want you to know what the consequences will be if you go with the Yu family and go against me! If I want you, you should take off your clothes and climb to me with your butt sticking out your ass!"
After he finished speaking, he sucked wildly again.
When Zhao Run arrived after hearing the news, Chen Zui's clothes were already torn, bloody and bloody, and his long hair was sticky and sticky to the flesh and blood on his back: "Second brother!"
He grabbed Zhao Zhun's whip and snatched it from him.
Zhao Zhun looked at him panting: "Second, why are you here?"
"Second brother, what are you doing?" He immediately said to the trembling palace maid next to him: "Why don't you help Your Highness up and call the imperial doctor!"
"I want to teach this queen who doesn't know how high the sky is, and let him know, and let everyone in the world know what the heavenly power is!" Zhao Zhun threw the whip in his hand, and his palms were red: "No matter how noble you are, in front of me, you can only bow your head and bow your head. If you dare to go against me, I will not let you go one by one."
As he said that, he walked outside: "Send Your Highness Chen to the Yu family. Ask Yu Rong and the others to have a good look."
If this society with a distinctly hierarchical cannibalism is not strong enough, let alone peace, even the minimum dignity may not be able to be.
Chen Zui's eyes were red, tears mixed with blood, and she slid down from the corners of his eyes, and there was nothing else on his face except hatred.
