Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 141

After winning the ball, Zhao Zhen was in a good mood. He dragged Li Ce to a restaurant outside for a drink. Li Ce clearly remembered the Crazy Horse incident where Zhao Zhen was attacked last time. It was clear that someone wanted to murder the emperor. Zhao Zhen His identity had already been leaked, and the enemy might be watching in secret. He didn't dare to take the risk, so he kept Di Qing and Guan Zhen by his side, and with their protection, he could feel much more at ease.

Li Ce did not express his worries. After all, this is just his guess, and there is no strong evidence yet.

"Eunuch Lei, you don't have to follow, I'm just having a light meal with Li Ce." Zhao Zhen turned his head and said to the old eunuch who was with him.

Eunuch Lei?Li Ce finally figured out who this old eunuch was——Lei Yungong!Isn't it the one who made things difficult for him at the gate of the palace that day?I said, why does this old guy have such an angry face when he sees me, it turns out that he has recognized me a long time ago, this old guy holds a grudge.

However, Lei Yungong hastily knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave accompanied His Majesty out of the palace according to the order of the Empress Dowager, and this old slave never dared to leave His Majesty's side."

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, this Lei Yungong always followed, it was inconvenient to say a lot of things, who knows if he will report to the Queen Mother when he returns.

Li Ce also saw Zhao Zhen's displeasure, and he quickly figured out what the problem was. The Empress Dowager sent Lei Yungong out of the palace with Zhao Zhen, probably not only to serve Zhao Zhen, but also to monitor him.

Zhao Zhen put down a sentence: "Follow if you like!" He flicked his sleeves and strode away, ignoring Lei Yungong who was kneeling.

Li Ce turned his head and sneered lightly, beckoning Di Qing and Guan Zhen to follow.

Lei Yungong looked at Zhao Zhen's angry back with embarrassment, and saw Li Ce's mocking eyes, he couldn't help feeling furious, but he didn't dare to explode with Zhao Zhen, so he couldn't see the slightest anger on his face , he slowly got up, patted the dust on his clothes, and followed quickly.

Apart from Nanyuan, the two found a restaurant and asked for a private room. Li Ce and Zhao Zhen had a room alone, while Di Qing, Guan Zhen and Lei Yungong took care of them in another room.

Li Ce could see that Zhao Zhen seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Your Majesty has something on his mind?"

Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "You don't know something, I couldn't hold back this time, so I came out to take a look when I was worried, but I am very satisfied with what I saw today.

Everyone is paying attention to this Cuju competition. Xiaoyuan Wang Zhao Ji has long threatened that he will be the number one!Even the Queen Mother has frequently summoned him recently. I heard from Qin'er that the Queen Mother even helped him find a Cuju master. This... What is the Queen Mother thinking?Can't she see that Zhao Ji doesn't accept me as a big brother at all!Zhao Ji is Concubine Yang's child, I am the empress dowager's legitimate son, even outsiders can see that the empress is too partial to Zhao Ji, I..." Zhao Zhen felt aggrieved and even more indignant when he said this.

Li Ce was secretly startled, he kept thinking, is the unofficial history record really true?If this is the case, then looking at Empress Liu's recent movements, a storm may be coming...

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to help Your Majesty win the game!" Li Ce could only promise that he couldn't think of anything else to say to comfort Zhao Zhen.

"I really can't lose this time, I want to fight for it, Li Ce, do you know?" Zhao Zhen stared at Li Ce with hope and anxiety in his eyes.

Li Ce nodded, and Zhao Zhen said again: "I met you in commoner, and you are only a friend, so I can only say some things to you."

Li Ce was moved in his heart, he smiled and said: "I also regard Your Majesty as my friend." He said this is extremely bold. Head off.

Zhao Zhen looked at him appreciatively and said, "You dare to tell me that."

The two were talking, but they heard a noise, it seemed that someone was drunk and making trouble, the two didn't care at all, but the drunk person cursed loudly: "Even Your Majesty can't kill my father!" How about you, are you stronger than His Majesty?"

Zhao Zhen heard it right, he slammed his chopsticks on the table hard, got up and walked outside.

Li Ce frowned secretly, who the hell is so blind and so rebellious.

Zhao Zhen opened the door and glanced angrily at the lobby, only to find that a person was holding a small flagon in his hand, swearing drunkenly. Because he was drunk, he staggered and kept twisting and turning.

"Master Ding, I'm a small business, and I can't stand your troubles. You have been on credit for more than a year, and you have a full 200 taels of silver. The small shop can't handle it anymore, so you can do it." Okay, let’s settle a part of the bill first, this small amount of money is nothing to you, but the little old man’s family relies on it for food!" The shopkeeper of this restaurant, surnamed Wu, is 66 this year.

"It's more than 200 taels, and you're ashamed to ask. Let me tell you, I'll pay you 300 taels once I visit the brothel! Go away, don't get in the way!" The drunk young master pushed shopkeeper Wu vigorously, cursing and going out.

Shopkeeper Wu staggered and sat on the ground, he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, he quickly knelt up and climbed up to hug the drunk young man's leg, crying: "Master Ding, you can't leave, if you leave, I'll pay you the money." Who are you looking for?"

"Go away!" The man was angry and kicked shopkeeper Wu's stomach. After all, shopkeeper Wu was old, so he kicked him out. The kick was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe.

All the diners pointed and discussed, most of them criticized the drunk young man for being rude, but no one spoke out.

"Stop! What did you just say?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help shouting angrily.

The drunk young man had already stepped over the threshold of the restaurant with half a foot, but he withdrew after hearing the words, he turned his head and squinted his eyes and said: "Who shouted?"

When he turned his head, Li Ce was shocked, isn't this the dude who was beaten up by him on the street that day?His name is Ding Qi, and he is Ding Wei's youngest son!
The crowd backed away, and Zhao Zhen and Li Ce were quickly highlighted.

"It's you who shouted?" Ding Qi pointed at Zhao Zhen with his mouth full of alcohol.

"Who is your father?" Zhao Zhen asked coldly.

"My father is Ding... Damn it, it's you!" Ding Qi recognized Li Ce when he saw him. That's how the kid beat him, and his eyes are still swollen. For this, he was arrested. Those aristocratic young masters laughed at you for a long time. Damn, I searched for you every day. I never thought I would catch you today!

Li Ce sneered, and said in his heart: You won't be able to eat the things you don't want to eat today!He whispered to Zhao Zhen, "He is Ding Wei's youngest son, named Ding Qi."

"You dare to call my father's name directly? Bold!" Ding Qi pointed at Li Ce and threatened.

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Ding Wei?"

"Oh, you dare to call my father's name directly. You have eaten the hearts of bears and leopards. I must arrest you today!" Ding Qi came up angrily and wanted to hit someone.

"Open your mouth!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.

What Li Ce was waiting for was Zhao Zhen's order. Hearing this, he grabbed Ding Qi's collar abruptly, swung his right hand and gave him a beating!
"Woooo...you! Ah...father!" Ding Qi wailed incoherently after being beaten.

"Damn it, you're really thick-skinned, I'm numb from the beating." Li Ce scolded, he let Ding Qi go, and Ding Qi fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.He purposely strengthened his hands just now, fearing that Ding Qi's teeth would fall out after he returned.

Ding Qi is not stupid, after being beaten so violently by Li Ce, most of the wine has already been sober. Get beaten up by him!Seeing that he couldn't beat him, he had no choice but to pretend to be faint and fool him first. This kid was nervous about attacking, and both sides of his face were swollen as if they were on fire.

"My lord, don't let these people disturb our mood, let's go back." Li Ce glanced at Ding Qi, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, and said.

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhen glanced at Ding Qi who was pretending to be dead, and turned around with a flick of his sleeves.

The shopkeeper Wu was already frightened and stupid at this time, he hurriedly went behind the counter, as if this matter had nothing to do with me.

Back in the elegant room with Li Ce, Zhao Zhen lost his mood after being disturbed like this. Lei Yungong heard the noise and came over to ask, but was scared by Zhao Zhen's "Get out!" and backed out.

"Ding Wei doesn't take me seriously, even his son knows about it!" Zhao Zhen slammed the bracelet hard.

"Your Majesty... an ignorant and arrogant villain, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as him, and he has a long memory today?" Li Ce comforted.

"The emperor is really useless. When my father was in power, which one of them dared to be so arrogant?! They are bullying me!" Zhao Zhen hammered the table again, he clenched his fist hard, and he was very angry .

Li Ce said in his heart: It has been like this since ancient times, when the monarch is weak, the ministers are strong, especially the young emperors who succeed to the throne are mostly oppressed by the so-called Minister Gu Ming.

"When the Queen Mother returns to His Majesty, they will restrain themselves." Li Ce said.

"Returning the government?" Zhao Zhen asked in surprise, turning his head.

"Yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager's birthday will be two days away. The Empress Dowager is already old and has lost energy. I think it's time to return the power to Her Majesty." Li Ce carefully thought out the words and said carefully.He only knew that the Empress Dowager Liu E died when Zhao Zhen was in his 20s. Anyway, that's how it was played on TV, so he really didn't know when it was.

"You...do you think the queen mother will let me rule?" Zhao Zhen asked nervously.

Li Ce thought to himself: Isn't this nonsense, you are the emperor, who else can you be if you are not in charge.

"Of course, Your Majesty is ordered by heaven." Li Ce said respectfully.

"But I heard from Qin'er that the queen mother is a little bit interested in King Yuan, I..." Zhao Zhen didn't finish speaking, only heard a shout! ——"Search for me!" Immediately there was a ping-pong sound, mixed with exclamations from the diners.

The two were startled at the same time, Li Ce frowned, what happened today?He just wanted to get up to take a look, but before he got up, the door was pushed open!A man covered in armor, with a knife across his waist, strode in.
