Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The cry of "Father" made Zhao Xu feel a little distracted.

But after he lost his mind, he felt even more guilty and couldn't help but shed tears.

His heart was filled with regret again. If he had been braver and known how to resist back then, would the result be different now?

But in this world, there is no regret medicine, and there is nothing that can turn back time.

Therefore, Zhao Xu could only regret in his heart.

Lin Yi saw Zhao Xu crying. He picked up the towel on the side and wiped Zhao Xu, and then continued: "Brother Xie probably doesn't know the truth yet."

"Since he doesn't know, then don't let him know, lest one more person be sad."

"Father, you can take care of your health with peace of mind. The empire can be left to Brother Xie with peace of mind. I will assist Brother Xie in managing the empire."

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he said in a somewhat astringent voice: "Da Xia, you two brothers, I can rest assured."

"Yi'er, if there is anything you can't solve in the future, just come to dad and dad will solve it for you."

This time, Zhao Xu did not call himself "I", but "Dad".

He had long wanted to say "Dad" to Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xu's words, another smile appeared on his face.

"Then dad, just take a good rest and recover your health. I will take you out to see the scenery of our empire."

After Lin Yi said this, he thought about it and said to Zhao Xu: "It's getting late. I still have some things to deal with. Brother Xi has been waiting outside for a long time. There are some things, dad, you still have to do it." It needs to be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise the longer things are delayed, the more it will arouse some people's ambitions."

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he understood what Lin Yi wanted to say, and he softly uttered the word "um" from his mouth.

When Lin Yi saw that Zhao Xu agreed to his proposal, he didn't say anything more. He just patted the back of Zhao Xu's hand, put his hand back under the quilt, stood up, and walked out of the house.

Lin Yi walked outside the house and saw Zhao He still standing in the yard. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders.

When Zhao He saw Lin Yi coming out, he stepped forward with some urgency.

"Brother, how is your father's situation?" Zhao He asked eagerly.

"Uncle has woken up and is in good spirits. You can go in and take a look. I will wait for you outside."

Lin Yi patted the snowflakes off Zhao He's shoulders, straightened his clothes, and then said.

"Okay, then I'll go see my father first." Zhao Xi knew that now was not the time to reminisce with Lin Yi, so he nodded to Lin Yi and immediately walked towards the back room.

Lin Yi looked at Zhao Xi's back with firmness in his eyes.

When Zhao He entered the room, Lin Yi waved to a chamberlain next to him.

The waiter ran over quickly.

"Your Majesty." The chamberlain came to Lin Yi and bowed to Lin Yi.

"Go to the cabinet and inform all your lords, and ask them to come and wait. Tell them that His Majesty is awake and there is something to be announced, and they must be present." Lin Yi said slowly.

"Yes." The chamberlain nodded quickly after hearing Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi had already guessed that after Zhao He entered, it would not be long before Zhao Xu officially announced Zhao He's succession.

As for matters like succession, people from the cabinet still need to be present, so that it will have more legal effect.

Moreover, Lin Yi felt that Zhao Xu would also take the opportunity to announce some personnel adjustments and leave some helpers for Zhao Xi to help Zhao Xi control the empire as soon as possible.

Although Zhao Xi is not a child now, he is in his thirties and has followed Zhao Xu in handling government affairs for many years. In the past, Zhao Xi only assisted from the side, but now, everything needs Zhao Xi's nod to implement.

The foundations of the two are different, so Lin Yi thinks that Zhao Xu will leave some manpower for Zhao He.

The men sent to the cabinet soon arrived. As soon as the cabinet ministers came here, they saw Lin Yi in the wind and snow, with a thick layer of snow on his shoulders. They knew that Lin Yi had been standing here for a long time.

As the person who was most familiar with Lin Yi, Li Fu quickly walked to Lin Yi's side.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy and snowy here, why don't we move in?" Li Fu said softly beside Lin Yi.

Li Fu's voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts. He came back to his senses after hearing Li Fu's words.

He smiled at Li Fu and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Lin Yi strode to a covered bridge.

Somehow, Lin Yi felt a little impetuous at this moment.

He felt that he should have been able to face Zhao Xu calmly, but after seeing Zhao Xu lying on the hospital bed, he felt a little more disturbed in his heart.

This made Lin Yi feel a little sad in his heart.

It was very lively under the covered bridge, and the servants had already placed a large number of braziers here.

As soon as Lin Yi walked in here, he felt a wave of heat.

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette, and he started groping around on his body.

However, I found that he seemed to have not smoked for a long time, so he did not always have cigarettes on him.

Li Fu on the side saw Lin Yi groping for something on his body and immediately understood what Lin Yi was looking for.

He leaned over, took out an unopened box of cigarettes from his pocket, and stuffed it into Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi saw the cigarette that Li Fu pushed over him. He smiled at Li Fu, then took out two cigarettes from it and handed one to Li Fu.

Li Fu took the cigarette, then took out a lighter and prepared to light Lin Yi's cigarette.

But Lin Yi directly took the lighter over and saw, what a guy, it's a zippo made of pure gold.

Lin Yi first lit a cigarette for himself, then for Li Fu, and then started to hold the lighter in his hand and start playing with it.

"Master Li, you said, when the truth of a matter will hurt many people, is it necessary to make the truth public?" Lin Yi took a deep breath of cigarette and then asked Li Fu.

When Li Fu heard Lin Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Yi to ask him this question.

But then, he began to think seriously, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the so-called truth is just an explanation that can make everyone believe it."

"If this explanation cannot be believed by everyone, or can only bring pain to everyone, then this so-called truth is not the truth."

"Being in the world is nothing more than seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Since things will hurt a lot the way they are, why not create a result that satisfies everyone?"

"My lord, sometimes, the truth is the result that everyone is willing to believe."

When Lin Yi heard Li Fu's words, he turned back to look at him in astonishment.

He asked Li Fu before, but he was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to, but he didn't expect Li Fu to be able to give an answer.

Because Li Fu's image in Lin Yi's heart has always been a relatively weak one.

As a result, I didn't expect that Li Fu would say such words today.

Lin Yi thought about Li Fu's words.

"Well, what you said is only true if people want to believe it."

"Master Li, you are very good. I owe you a favor today." Lin Yi said with a smile, then flicked the cigarette butt into the snow, and then put the cigarette and gold lighter that Li Fu gave him directly into the He picked up his pocket and walked out of the covered bridge.

Li Fu looked at Lin Yi's half-smoked cigarette and thought about why Lin Yi asked the question just now.

But as he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

The lighter he bought for two hundred imperial silver dollars was just taken away by Lin Yi?
