Chapter 354: Zhao Huan: Must I wear this big hat?

As for whether this would affect his reputation and give others a reason to attack him?

As long as he doesn't openly bring Zhu Lian into the palace, there is naturally room for maneuver.

After all, it is the norm for the emperor of a new dynasty to accept the harem of the fallen monarch of the previous dynasty.

That Heavenly Khan, who was widely praised by Confucian scholars and regarded as a model for monarchs,

did things like killing his brothers, imprisoning his father, and taking his sister-in-law and sister-in-law as concubines.

It can be seen that for a monarch, as long as there are achievements in the great virtues of civil and martial arts,

people often have great tolerance for his private virtues.

And Zhang Jie, although he dare not compare with the Heavenly Khan in civil and martial arts,

absolutely surpassed most emperors in the history of this world,

not to mention sitting three and looking at two, he definitely entered the top ten.

At the very least, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which were unreachable and unattainable for every Song emperor from Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi to Zhezong and Huizong,

and almost became the heart disease of every Song emperor, were taken back by him.

If you add the southern expedition to Dali and the toes, the eastern pacification of the Wa-Slave State,

the northern collection of the grasslands, the western destruction of Western Xia, and the incorporation of Central Asia, that is simply incredible.

This Heavenly Khan thing, Tang Taizong can do it, but Gan Taizu can't?

He, Zhang Jie, is destined to be the strongest carbon-based organism in the world in the 12th century!

As for the strongest carbon-based organism of the 13th, 14th, and even 21st centuries, he, Zhang Jie, might not be unable to do it.

After all, even for the several Zhang Jies in the shared space,

immortality, which is crazily pursued by countless emperors and generals, who are willing to pay everything,

and are willing to do countless insane things,

is no longer a dream, but a mature fruit that only needs a little more effort

to be truly held in the hand.

……

"You, you!"

Having said this, Zhao Huan knew what had happened.

This Zhu Lian didn't come back all night last night, and only came back at this time today,

this clearly gave him a big green hat.

As for who the adulterer was, it was obvious from these two decrees.

Zhao Huan only felt a wave of dizziness.

He said why this little yellow gate so easily revoked the big hat of resisting the order,

it turned out there was another original-colored hat waiting for him behind.

Zhao Huan's accusation: Must I wear this big hat?

Zhang Jie, who had already cooked the raw rice into cooked meat, nodded: That's exactly it, Ning Wang, you just wear it~

"Bitch, you shameless bitch!"

Zhao Huan, who couldn't suppress his anger, pounced on Zhu Lian, wanting to teach this shameless woman a lesson.

"This concubine, this concubine…"

Zhu Lian also had bitterness that she couldn't speak of.

She was a weak woman, how could she be the opponent of a strong young man like Zhang Jie.

Not to mention that the young man who forced her was the supreme master of the Great Gan dynasty that replaced the Song.

Facing Zhang Jie, who held the power of life and death, for the sake of their husband and wife's life and death honor, she shamefully surrendered.

"Ning Wang, don't forget your identity!"

Seeing Zhao Huan's fist about to fall on Zhu Lian, the little yellow gate's eyes were about to split,

as if Zhao Huan was about to hit his biological parents, and scolded sternly.

At the same time, he rushed out and hugged the furious Zhao Huan.

No, looking at the little yellow gate's actions, Zhu Lian was afraid that she was even more important than his biological parents by three points.

And this is not wrong, he was able to serve as the eunuch who came to announce the decree,

naturally he had some understanding of the ins and outs of this incident.

With His Majesty's degree of doting on this Lady Zhu, even if she couldn't enter the palace because of her identity,

her status was definitely not lower than any concubine.

For him, a slave of the Son of Heaven, any concubine or beauty is an object that must never be offended.

After all, the most powerful wind in this world is the pillow wind!

If you offend these beauties and concubines, as long as they whisper a few words on the Majesty's dragon bed,

you can teach these eunuchs to eat and carry trouble.

'My identity?!'

Zhao Huan, who had been scolded, could not help but pause in his movements upon hearing this.

His face was full of bitterness.

Although the young eunuch addressed him as "Prince Ning," this was merely a respectful form of address.

Because his title of Prince Ning was one he had received before being named Crown Prince of the Great Song.

But now that his Great Song had fallen, the title of Prince Ning naturally vanished along with his titles of Crown Prince and Emperor.

Zhao Huan: Forget it, my Great Song has already fallen~

He had not received any titles specifically for fallen monarchs from the Great Gan, such as "Duke of Anle," "Duke of Shanyang,"

"Marquis of Guiyi," or even "Marquis of Niming" or "Duke of Hundu."

So, his current status was still that of a criminal who had not yet been sentenced.

And Zhu Lian was previously his Empress, with a status not equal to his.

Yet now, she was truly and certainly the Lady of Chastity of Jingkang Commandery of the Great Gan, with treatment comparable to a first-rank noble lady.

Now that their positions were reversed—one a criminal, one a first-rank lady—

coupled with the relationship between Zhu Lian and the Gan Emperor that was practically out in the open,

it was easy to imagine which side people like this young eunuch would take.

"I..."

Thinking of the gap in their status, Zhao Huan felt all the strength he had mustered dissipate.

He could not even stand, collapsing and falling to the ground.

Looking at Zhao Huan, who seemed to have had his spine removed just because of the young eunuch's threat,

a look of disappointment flashed through Zhu Lian's eyes.

Although Zhao Huan, this Qinzong, was a scapegoat forced onto the throne by his father Zhao Ji to avoid being the monarch of a fallen state,

and he hadn't even sat on the dragon throne for an hour,

making him the greatest "scientific" fallen monarch in history, regardless of how you put it,

he had once been the Emperor of the Great Song, representing the final dignity of the Great Song.

Yet, this person who should have preserved the last shred of the Great Song's dignity,

giving this dynasty that had lasted for over a hundred years a relatively decent ending,

was so pathetic that he couldn't even bear the responsibility of someone who was once a servant.

"My husband, be careful!"

But regardless, Zhao Huan was her husband, so Zhu Lian still leaned over to help him up.

"This bitch!

She clearly committed the illicit act that betrayed me, yet now she puts on this hypocritical look!"

Looking at the concern on Zhu Lian's face, Zhao Huan roared in his heart.

Unfortunately, given his current status and situation, it was impossible for him to carry out any punishment.

"Sigh!"

"Is this the cycle of karma, the inescapable retribution?"

Thinking of what his ancestor Taizong had done to the Lady Huarui of the Later Zhou, Zhao Huan sighed deeply in his heart.

"Husband, let's rest for a while."

Zhu Lian helped the weak-legged Zhao Huan to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Only then did she notice that the young eunuch who had delivered the decree had not yet left.

She hurriedly bowed and asked, "Does the Heavenly Envoy have any other matters to convey?"
