Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The living people are naturally Gao Taotao, Zhao Hao and Zhao Xu.  When this issue was just mentioned, Shi Jianfei hurriedly came to report that Mrs. Muhou (to Queen Xiang) set fire to Funing Palace. Zhao Xu's son only rescued one daughter, and the other four boys were all burned to death.  There was a sudden sigh in the court hall. Some people lamented, some were gloating, and some were secretly looking at Zhao Zhao.  Suspicions and misunderstandings are inevitable, as are rumors.  Zhao Zhao didn't care about being misunderstood by others. Even if those people thought it was his handiwork, so what?  Zhao Zhao felt a little sad, mostly because of Xiang's choice.  She was obviously given a way to live, but she still made such a choice. A gentle and chaste woman, Zhao Xu had a wife like this, she could die in peace.  Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao were brought up. Zhao Zhao originally thought that a conceited woman like Gao Taotao would probably choose to go to extremes if she failed, and would do something like the Empress Dowager Liang who set herself on fire.  But she didn't, and became a prisoner like this. She didn't beg for mercy or curse, just silent.  Zhao Hao was different. As soon as he entered the grand celebration, he started to curse, claiming that Zhao Zhao had killed Xiang and several of his nephews.  Zhao Zhao was unwilling to explain, and he didn't bother to explain. What was strange was that Gao Taotao actually opened his mouth, yelling at Zhao Hao and telling him to shut up.  He also explained that it was Xiang who set herself on fire and burned her own child to death.  Zhao Zhao smiled. After all, Gao Taotao was a sensible person. When he knew that four children were burned to death in Funing Hall, instead of three, she knew there was something inside.  If the children had not been settled, Xiang would not have died calmly.  Maybe in this matter.  We should thank Zhao Zhao.  ¡°At least he left a way for his grandson to survive, to this point today.  Gao Taotao knew that both he and his second son were bound to die.  All the honor and power of the two generations were gone, and the only thing they thought about now was those children.  She also doesn't want to have any descendants after her death. The continuation of her bloodline is probably the greatest comfort before she dies!  Zhao Hao stopped talking. He was full of awe in front of his mother at any time.  But he was a little stunned, and his heart was full of anger.  Also filled with fear.  In his opinion, his four nephews had been burned alive, how could he possibly survive?  In fact, when Zhao Zhao entered the city, he had the idea of ????committing suicide, but unfortunately he did not have the courage and has delayed it until now.  After learning that both his father and eldest brother¡¯s imperial titles were taken away and they were given the titles of marquis and evil posthumous title.  Zhao Hao felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.  It seems that Zhao Zhao can't do anything to him openly. Maybe he has to give himself some rewards. Maybe he will lose some freedom and status in the future, but he should be able to survive.  After all, the blood of Emperor Taizong remains in his body, and he is still a relative of the emperor.  If you have no choice but to die.  Then you have to feel disgusted with Zhao Zhao.  Using his own death to smear Zhao Zhao's reputation can be regarded as a kind of revenge.  Although he was in a weak position and was at the mercy of others, no matter what Zhao Zhao did.  I "don't suffer any loss".  Maybe this is Zhao Hao's last triumph, Ah Q's last chance.  He cherished it very much, and even had a bit of weird pride on his face.  Zhao Zhao just smiled and was completely dismissive. Zhao Hao was not worth looking at.  To put it bluntly, he is just a top-notch dandy. He has the background of a prince and the status of a prince, otherwise he is just a piece of shit.  Compared with his brother Zhao Xu, the truth is far different.  At this point, I still refuse to repent, and I still want to make myself sick.  I guess Gao Taotao has similar thoughts. Want to embarrass me?  Zhao Zhao shook his head gently, in that case, let the ball go to yourselves!  Life or death is yours to choose!  Zhao Zhaolang said loudly: "You are guilty of a big crime for trying to murder and usurp the throne and bring harm to the country! The third brother died at a young age and died with his eyes open. Logically speaking, I should avenge him. You are unforgiving and should be punished for your crimes. You should be executed. But I think that everyone agrees with me.  For the sake of Taizong's descendants, let God decide life and death based on the principle of mercy. I think this is worthy of you mother and son, and the soul of the third brother in heaven will not blame me! " "Zhao Zhao, don't talk nonsense, what do you want?  ? "Zhao Hao is still very arrogant, but in the eyes of most people, this behavior is completely stupid!  Sure enough, Zhao Fukang stepped forward and gave him a slap in the face, saying coldly: "He is good at calling the emperor by his first name, and calls his elders by their first names. He has no regard for the emperor and does not know the superiority of elders and younger ones. Thirteenth sister-in-law, this is the good son you raised!"  " Gao Taotao was speechless. The second son's true nature has been exposed during this period, which is really disappointing.  At this time, even if he was deliberately disgusting Zhao Zhao, he shouldn't be so embarrassed.  It's okay to die, but the minimum dignity should be retained!  Zhao Zhao smiled and said: "Sister, don't argue with the ignorant juniors. Again, life and death are determined by fate, God chooses. Let him choose by himself when it comes to the lottery of life and death!"Sign up!  Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao both felt nervous. This move was indeed wonderful, waiting for the ball to be kicked to them.  The result will be whatever it is drawn out. The real fate of life and death depends on one's destiny. No one can blame others.  If you really want to blame it, you can only blame your own luck.  It¡¯s just is it really a 50-50 chance of life and death?  Zhao Zhao smiled and said: "In this case, for the sake of fairness, I invite Ouyang Gong and Fu Xianggong to come forward, write it in person and prepare the signature." "Yes!" Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi stepped forward, and Zhao Zhao whispered:  The expressions of all the old ministers were slightly stagnant, and their eyes were slightly shocked.  Zhao Hao stood in the distance and could see clearly, didn¡¯t he just want to know that I was about to die?  Humph, you really think I¡¯m stupid!  Soon, two signatures were ready.  It was placed in a brocade box and brought to Zhao Hao by the chamberlain Xiao Hai.  "Life or death, you choose your own destiny!" Zhao Zhao said: "I gave you the opportunity. Whether you seize it or not is up to you If something unexpected happens, you can't blame others!" Zhao Hao sneered, stepped forward and took out a signature, but did not open it.  Instead of opening it, put it into your mouth, chew it a few times and then swallow it.  Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhao shook his head gently.  Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi also looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They concluded that Zhao Hao was dead.  "Zhao Zhao, at this time, you can kill or behead as you please. Why are you so pretentious and hypocritical? A life and death lottery? Don't think that I don't know what your intention is. I didn't read this one. Since it is a life and death lottery, then  It's obvious just by looking at what the remaining one is, right?" As he spoke, Zhao Zhao sneered, even a little proud and mocking.  Gao Taotao had a bad premonition in his heart. Looking at the unchanging smile at the corner of Zhao Zhao's mouth, he seemed to realize something.  Zhao Zhaodao: "That's right, well Then please ask Bachelor Sima to come forward and open the label and see what's on it!" Sima Guang stepped forward with the order, and the remaining label in the brocade box was opened.  Under the public gaze, everyone can see clearly.  The word "Éú" is clearly written on it!  As if he had seen a ghost, Zhao Hao immediately jumped up and said in horror: "No, no, no, nohow could this happen" "You are smart!" Zhao Zhao said: "What do you think? You have recognized me.  They will use despicable means to harm you, both of them have the word "death" written on them. Then you think you are right and swallow one of them so that I can suffer a loss, right? You are already a prisoner, and I rule the world with you.  Do I have to use such despicable methods to deal with you? Even if you don't believe me, you should still believe Ouyang Gong and Mr. Fu! " "No, it's impossible. How can you let me draw lots?"  With a look of disbelief on his face, he looked at Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi fiercely, and sneered: "They are all taking orders from you now, is there any fairness?" After Zhao Hao finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu, an old and well-mannered man over there, said loudly:  "Of course it's not fair." "Look, I was right, Zhao Zhao, you are a despicable person." Zhao Hao suddenly felt extremely proud, as if he was a gambler who got a small win before losing all his money.  Victory is enough to comfort people.  But Fu Bi shook his head and said: "Zhao Hao, you have wasted all your majesty's compassion and painstaking efforts. On the two signatures, Ouyang Gong and I both wrote the word 'Éú'. Your Majesty has kind thoughts and gave up being the King of E."  I want to take revenge, but I am willing to let you live. But you are narrow-minded and think so badly of His Majesty that you are seeking your own death because of your own cleverness! You can be forgiven for doing evil by yourself, but you will not survive if you do it yourself!  "Zhao Hao was a little unbelievable and couldn't accept it at all. The script shouldn't be like this The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty saw clearly that His Majesty the Emperor was kind-hearted and intended to let Zhao Hao go and give him a chance to live.  It's a pity that Zhao Hao was so smart that he judged a gentleman's heart with caution, and he fell into a dead end.  This is a typical self-inflicted crime situation, and there is really nothing to say about it.  The kindness of His Majesty the Emperor is in sharp contrast to Zhao Hao's stupidity and ugliness. The contrast is huge.  Of course, there are some people who see further. They can see that His Majesty the Emperor does have the intention to kill Zhao Hao, but the method is quite clever. They have grasped Zhao Hao's little thoughts and his character flaws and exploited them.  Using the most merciful means to set up a certain death situation for Zhao Hao, it is related to the stability of the throne, and there is nothing wrong with it.  Although the emperor's move was not glorious, the method was extremely clever.  Of course, if Zhao Hao hadn't committed suicide himself, this wouldn't have been the result.  If he really went to draw lots, he would still be able to survive no matter what. In the end, he would still be the one to blame. There is nothing to say.  "Nonoit's not like this, it's not like this!" Zhao Hao has collapsed to the ground and doesn't believe it.This is a fact, and he is seeking his own death.  After all, he is still afraid of death!  Gao Taotao sighed softly, turned around and stopped his son, and said softly: "Zhong Ming, let's go!" Half an hour later, Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao hanged themselves in the woods outside the fire scene of Funing Hall!  PS: Chapter 2!  The new book "Zaifu" has been released and can be searched.  Computer users can see [Author Information] - [Other Works of the Author] on the "King of Song" page; mobile phone readers, please turn one more page to the last page, where there is [The author has also written] below to see new books.  "Zai Fu".  ??In the new book issue, clicks, collections and recommendation votes are very important.
