Zhao Hao whispered while passing the handkerchief to his father to wipe his tears:
"This morning, I received news. Yesterday, several prominent officials came forward to impeach me, saying that the earthquake the night before was caused by someone mining coal in Xishan Mountain, which damaged the dragon's veins and caused the earth dragon to turn over."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Shouzheng blew his nose hard and said with a loud voice: "Since the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Beijing has been shaken twice every year. So it was basically caused by the Huaxian earthquake, and it was caused by coal mining. What does coal mining have to do with it?¡±
"Yes, even father can understand the truth, how can they not understand it?" Zhao Hao sneered: "It can be seen that he is deliberately trying to blame father."
"Uh" Zhao Shouzheng always felt that his son's words were strange, but this was not the time to find fault. He held his son's hand tightly and said:
"Son, isn't it true that the person who speaks about policy is not guilty? How come you are here to be punished for your words?"
"Because they linked their father's strategy to Xishan Coal Industry." Zhao Hao said with a gloomy face:
"I impeach you for colluding with the eldest princess to speak for her Xishan Coal Industry"
"Collusion." Zhao Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it's not collusion."
"Father, don't worry. What if people know about the matter between you and your godmother?"
Zhao Hao felt that he had to untie his father's knot first, otherwise, if he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in this state, he would be scared to death by those censors.
"How do you say this?" Mr. Zhao looked longingly at his son. Zhao Hao's guess was correct. He had been acting like a thief recently.
"As long as His Majesty has no objection to this kind of thing, there will be no problem. As for the officials, can they get evidence? At most, it can only be heard and turned into a piece of peachy news."
Zhao Hao sighed and secretly said with embarrassment, is this what I, a child, should say?
"As long as your godmother doesn't care about this kind of sexy news, what are you afraid of? Others will only say that you are capable and just fierce."
Hey, for the love of my parents, is it easy for me? Pimping, covering up, and having to provide psychological counseling to the man, the whole person is not pure
"Oh, that's it." Zhao Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your grandfather scared me. He told me that day that seducing the eldest princess is a third-degree crime compared to seducing a chaste widow."
"I'm telling you" Zhao Hao covered his face with his hands and said to himself that his grandfather really spared no effort to break up the miserable couple.
"Don't worry, you can afford to disgrace this person, and the royal family can't afford to disgrace him. He will never get to that point."
"Then I'm relieved." Zhao Shouzheng finally put his heart back into his stomach, put his arms around his son's shoulders, and said with a happy smile: "My son is still facing me, unlike your grandpa, who is wilted and bad."
"Hey" Zhao Hao sighed, thinking to himself that he really didn't know what his godmother was trying to do with his father. Can he read poetry?

Putting aside the biggest worry in his heart, Zhao Shouzheng asked Zhao Hao: "Then when the censor cross-examines him later, how should I answer?"
"Grandpa said that he had already given you official advice." Zhao Hao said lightly.
"Oh?" Zhao Shouzheng patted his head when he heard this, and said suddenly: "Is it appropriate to be slow?"
"That's right, no matter what they ask you, you don't know anything about it." Zhao Hao taught earnestly: "I concentrate on my career and ignore the secular affairs. My son handles all the affairs at home, so I don't know about it."
¡°I can¡¯t answer this matter at the moment. I¡¯ll make some inquiries when I go back and then I¡¯ll get back to you, sir.¡±
¡°If I can¡¯t produce any evidence, I will sue you for false accusation.¡±
"With these three golden sentences, it is enough to cope with it to the end."
"Is it that simple?" Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son with wide eyes.
"Does father not believe grandpa, or does he not believe me?" Zhao Hao looked at him lightly.
"I don't dare, I believe it! I will do it!" Zhao Shouzheng quickly corrected his attitude and agreed loudly.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Hao patted his father on the shoulder, gave him strength and said, "You are now the top scholar, no one can do anything to you."
"Well, okay!" Zhao Shouzheng nodded and smiled at his son: "As long as you are the backbone, I will not panic at all as a father!"
"That's good. Go ahead and show off your toughness like a champion!" Zhao Hao opened the car door for his father.
While the father and son were talking, the carriage had already arrived at Xingbu Street, located in the southwest corner of the inner city Like Nanjing's regulations, the Three Law Departments were far away from the civil and military yamen.
Seeing Zhao Shouzheng get out of the car and enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Hao took a deep breath and punched the wall of the car hard.
"It hurts so much,"It hurts" Mr. Zhao, who had thin skin and tender flesh, held his red right hand and blew hard, the pain was so painful that he almost shed tears.
"What happened to uncle?" Zhao Shizhen quickly opened the car curtain to check.
"It's okay." Zhao Hao was too embarrassed to speak, and grinned: "Go to Shiwangfu Street."

From the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Shouzheng was brought into the interrogation room.
As a rule, when the Metropolitan Procuratorate summons an official, two censors must be present, one to question and the other to record.
Pang Shangpeng, the censor of Youqiandu, who was responsible for questioning, and Wu Xueshi, the censor of the right capital who was responsible for recording and supervising, heard the report from the clerk's office and walked from the duty room to the interrogation room.
Pang Shangpeng was promoted to the fourth rank of Youqiandu Yushi by Xiaoge Lao after he took the lead in overthrowing Gao Gong's accomplice, the bachelor Guo Pu, last year.
Usually, this official position will be transferred to the governor of a province, or a lucrative position such as salt patrol or canal patrol.
At present, Pang Zhongcheng¡¯s whereabouts are undecided, so naturally he has to continue his efforts and show off to Mr. Xiao Ge.
"Just now, did you hear clearly what Mr. Zongxian said?" He glanced at Wu Xueshi who was standing aside. This boy had just left the hall, and he still had a bookish air. He needed to be disciplined.
"I heard you clearly." Wu Xueshi nodded.
"Don't give him a good look later just because he is the number one scholar." Pang Shangpeng said solemnly: "Many people will become weak after entering the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you scare them again, they will do anything. "
"Yes." Wu Xueshi nodded again, not daring to ask, what if they don't recruit him?
While we were talking, the interrogation room arrived and the clerk opened the door.
They saw Zhao Shouzheng sitting on the stool with his arms straight. After the two censors entered, they stood up to pay their respects.
Wu Xueshi couldn't help but look at Pang Shangpeng, thinking that he didn't seem to be soft, he was quite tough.
Pang Shangpeng also murmured in his heart, anyone who is invited to tea by the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the first day of work should be panicked, right?
Why doesn¡¯t Zhao Shouzheng know how to be afraid?
I had no choice but to suppress my doubts and sit down behind the desk.
Wu Yushi Daheng sat at another table, prepared his pen and ink, spread out the book, and nodded towards Pang Shangpeng.
Pang Zhongcheng then shouted in a deep voice: "According to the order of the General Constitution, we interrogate the censors Zhou Ying and Feng Bijin about the impeachment of the new scholar Zhao Shou. If there is any truth, we must not hide it!"
"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, took a deep breath, and then heard Pang Shangpeng take out a magazine and read it in a bad tone.
The content of the bullet is quite different from what Zhao Hao said. But the words are very harsh, and Pang Shangpeng deliberately uses his tone to put pressure, which is really scary.
"But Zhao Shouzheng followed his son's instructions and allowed him to storm, but I remained unmoved.
"I would like to ask you now, is this true?" Pang Shangpeng finished reading the bullet and slammed the table.
"I concentrate on my career and ignore worldly affairs. All matters at home are handled by my son, so I don't know about it."
" Then I saw Zhao Shouzheng spread his hands and answered solemnly.
