Lawless in Great Song

In the third year of Jingyou, during Emperor Renzong's reign of the Song Dynasty, an unruly young man fell into the back garden of the Great Song Imperial Palace, thus beginning a life that wou...

Chapter 11: Zhao Zhen is a coward

So no matter how you say it, it’s not good.

"Look, Uncle Nima, if this matter were put on you, you wouldn't be able to make the decision yourself."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "You have to put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you were in Zhao Zhen's position, you would definitely consider the matter of deposing the empress. You should marry a virtuous wife. Zhao Zhen, that old pervert, originally liked Zhang. He was forced by Liu E to make Guo the empress, so he was naturally rebellious. Plus, Empress Guo was not virtuous, so it was normal for her to be deposed."

"The only problem was that Zhao Zhen was too mean. If he was going to depose Empress Guo, he should have done it right away instead of dragging it out. When Empress Guo grew up a little, he thought she was beautiful and wanted to bring her back to the palace. Empress Guo still wanted to be empress again, but Zhao Zhen couldn't agree to it because of Empress Cao's issue, so he took his anger out on Cao."

"Empress Cao was such a good person. Even after she married into the imperial palace, her family had to borrow money to raise her dowry. But Zhao Zhen didn't even give the Cao family a penny, he was extremely stingy. She was also very wise in managing the harem. When Song Yingzong ascended the throne, she didn't control the government like Liu E did. She quickly handed power over to Song Yingzong. She is a famous virtuous empress in history."

"I guess it's because Zhao Zhen was used to Empress Guo's bad temper, so suddenly meeting an empress with a good temper and docility made him feel bored. To put it nicely, this kind of person is nostalgic and only appreciates the good of others after they lose them. To put it bluntly, he deserves a beating and is a scumbag."

After saying this, Zhao Zhen's anger was almost uncontrollable.

At first, I was just an unlucky guy.

Then it became more and more outrageous, people started calling him a fool, a pervert, and a jerk. Now they all started calling him a scumbag.

Who can stand this?

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was on the verge of exploding and was trying to get past them to grab a bench, Lu Yijian hurriedly joined Wang Zeng and the others in forcing Zhao Zhen out.

"Official, forget it."

When they were far enough outside to be out of earshot, Lü Yijian stopped him and said, "Zhao Jun is judging us with the eyes of later generations. His words are a bit vulgar, which is understandable."

"Is that a bit vulgar?"

Zhao Zhen was furious, his blood pressure soaring. He pointed at the distant house and shouted, "He's almost pointing at my nose and cursing me. This is slander, this is defamation of the emperor. I will punish him!"

Wang Zeng also advised, "Your Majesty, didn't we agree on this at the beginning? In order to get the information out of Zhao Jun, we have to pretend that this is Nini Village. We are just spectators. Your Majesty, please be patient."

"Be patient?"

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he laughed and said, "So he wasn't scolding you. He was just saying good things about you, saying that you are good officials and loyal ministers to me!"

After hearing these sarcastic words, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng both coughed awkwardly and pretended to look at the ground.

Cai Qi continued, "Your Majesty, we don't want him to continue. What if he says something unpleasant about us? But for you, Your Majesty, and for the sake of the Song Dynasty, we have no choice but to do this."

"Yes, this is all for the sake of the emperor and the Song Dynasty."

"Officials, please be patient."

Wang Sui and Sheng Du also echoed.

"Okay, I'll endure it!"

Zhao Zhen took several deep breaths to bring his soaring blood pressure down, then said to them, "Come on, I want to see what that bastard has to say about me."

He walked to the door first, with his foot still hanging above the threshold and his other foot not yet in, when he heard people talking inside.

"Empress Guo was also pitiful. She entered the palace at the age of twelve. Zhao Zhen, that pervert, didn't even let a twelve-year-old child go. What does the child know? She must have listened to Liu E. Liu E instilled some messed-up ideas in her, causing her to stand on different sides from Zhao Zhen."

"If Zhao Zhen had been smarter at this time and had spoken to Empress Guo, telling her that it was you, not Liu E, who would be with him for the rest of his life, would Empress Guo still have helped Liu E spy on him?"

"It's a pity that Zhao Zhen is such a fool. He just can't figure out how to transform internal conflicts into external ones."

"There's also the issue of jealousy. Every woman gets jealous, so why not spend more time on someone? But he ends up getting bored easily and falling in love with every woman he sees. This old pervert gets so choked up by the sight of a beautiful woman, and he's not considerate of Empress Guo, which makes her angry."

"Children in their teens are naturally willful, but Zhao Zhen didn't care and was only concerned with his own romantic pleasures. As a result, his wife got jealous and accidentally slapped Zhao Zhen. Then, he deposed his wife on the pretext of having no children."

"After Empress Guo grew up to be in her twenties and was as beautiful as a flower, he was attracted by her beauty and wanted to return to her. He even took his anger out on Empress Cao because of her problems. He is truly a scumbag."

"In the final analysis, the tragedy of Empress Guo and Empress Cao was caused by Zhao Zhen. In my opinion, Zhao Zhen is a scumbag and a complete jerk."

"Even though he was the emperor, he had three harems, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. If he were a commoner in ancient times, he would have been thrown into a pig cage. If he were to live today, he would be guilty of bigamy and raping a young girl, and he would be shot a hundred or eighty times."

Zhao Jun was talking eloquently inside, while Zhao Zhen's blood pressure outside was getting higher and higher.

In the end, even Lu Yijian could not hold him back. He picked up a bench and suddenly rushed out. He ran to the door of Guanjia Hall and smashed the marble steps on the ground.

"Bang!"

And it wasn't just once, it was "bang bang bang"!

The loud noise traveled far away, causing Zhao Jun to wonder, "Huh? What a loud noise! ​​Did something crash into the village?"

"mouse!"

Yan Shu thought quickly and replied, "There are mice in the house, and they smashed things."

"oh."

Zhao Jun said, "Rats are one of the four pests. Uncle Lari, remember to buy some rat poison to get rid of them."

"Okay, okay."

Yan Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his back felt cold.

Official.

I hope you are not mad to death.
