Ten years later

When Zhao Nuo returned home, he saw such a scene.

Hearing the housekeeper's hasty confession, his forehead twitched. He only went out for a while, so why did he provoke such a great god to come to his house.

He didn't even need verification, this kind of behavior method didn't do what he thought at all except for the person in Tai Chi Palace.

Li Lian suddenly thought of his own home, no matter how troublesome he was, he had to entertain him respectfully.It's nothing if it's just like this, for the ministers, this is a great honor.

But Li Lian even knew the name of his wife's boudoir, and said that he hadn't seen her for a long time.Now the door is closed, and the lonely man and the widow are in the same room.Zhao Nuo had already staged several big dramas in his heart, even if he told himself that Li Lian was the Son of Heaven, he would never do anything stupid, and he couldn't put his heart in his stomach.

Which Holy Son of Heaven would share a room with his servants' wives!

But as soon as he entered the house, he was dumbfounded.Li Lian leaned on the table with his elbows, and couldn't see any expression on his face.But Mrs. Liang knelt on the ground, sobbing softly.It doesn't seem like there is an affair, but it seems like Li Lian is deliberately torturing the Liang family.

He had no intention of saluting. Seeing that Li Lian just raised his eyelids, he knelt beside Mrs. Liang, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't know your Majesty is here, and I didn't entertain you well. I hope you will forgive me."

Mrs. Liang raised her head at once, with a trembling voice, and begged Li Lian, "Your Majesty, this is all done by my concubine and has nothing to do with Zhao Sheren."

Zhao Nuo panicked for a moment. What did the Liang family do to offend Li Lian, and they called him such alien names. How could it be a bit like the one he met when he tried the case in Dali Temple? The bitter master who put aside the relationship.

Zhao Nuo managed to calm down: "Your Majesty, my wife is three months pregnant, can I ask for your Majesty's grace..."

"Madam, please get up." Before Zhao Nuo finished speaking, Li Lian let go and said with a sleepy expression, "Ming Qi also got up."

Zhao Nuo gently helped Liang Shi to get up, and carefully helped her to the soft couch beside him, for fear that Liang Shi would bump into something.After finishing this, Zhao Nuo saw Li Lian standing beside him holding a cup of tea, and stretched out his hand, "Ma'am, don't get excited, drink some tea and calm down."

Mrs. Liang didn't dare not take it, but she didn't dare to enter it either. She just held the teacup and looked up at Li Lian, her eyes sparkling.Seeing this, Zhao Nuo held her hand tightly, and patted her shoulder with the other hand, comforting her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Ah Ran, I'm here."

"If you're like this, it makes me look like a villain." Li Lian sneered, shook his head, and took another step forward, "Madam and I are old acquaintances, so I'm so scary."

When he saw his old friend for the first time, he just wanted to reminisce about the past, but as soon as Liang Ran entered the door, he knelt down to plead guilty and began to cry, and he couldn't persuade him.Now he had to coax Liang Ran with a good voice, he wanted to feel wronged for himself.

It took Liang a long time to whisper: "The concubine just found refuge with Zhao Sheren, and Zhao Sheren didn't know what the concubine had done. Dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness. Your Majesty is kind, and Zhao Sheren is wholeheartedly toward His Majesty." Yes. I just ask Your Majesty not to implicate Zhao Sheren because of the concubine's affairs."

"Aran?" Zhao Nuo couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't care about the rules of etiquette, so he asked Liang Shi in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Li Lian took a deep breath, and said in a gentle tone: "Ma'am, what did you say? I have nothing to blame you. Mingqi just asked for your order a few days ago. You said that you are so alienated. His heart is broken." I'm afraid it's going to be half cold."

Seeing that the two of them were silent, he went on to comfort him: "Madam scolded me a lot in the past, and I haven't pursued it once. How come I'm afraid of this now when I see you? Could it be that it's easy to think wildly when you have a body, that's right, When Liu Niang was pregnant, she often thought about it."

Mrs. Liang nodded in doubt, "Your Majesty is merciful."

"Ranniang," Li Lian suddenly changed his old name again, "raise your baby with peace of mind. I've found out something about her, so I won't talk about it with you."

After arriving at Zhao Nuo's study, Li Lian did not hide his anger, and asked Zhao Nuo to blame: "Zhao Mingqi, you are so courageous, you dare to marry anyone, do you know her identity?"

Zhao Nuo immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I'm guilty of death. I know that she is a female official of the former court, and she was released to marry when she was old."

"The female official of the former court," Li Lian said angrily in a low voice, "you dare to touch the word "former court" even if you know the word "former court" is attached to it."

Zhao Nuo felt that he had been innocently wronged. The previous court was not the previous court when he married Liang Shi.He defended in a low voice: "At that time, the minister was no more than a small official in Hejian, so he was considered a good family." What's more, his wife who is a mess does not go to court, so he can't just abandon her just because his official career is getting smoother.

"But you are now a close minister of the emperor. Your first wife is a former court lady, or a maid accompanying Chen Zhao." Li Lian threw another heavy weight, with a bit of hatred for iron and steel, and told him Said, "If someone exposes you, no one can protect you."

Mrs. Liang didn't mention much about his previous affairs, and Zhao Nuo didn't ask. He originally thought that Mrs. Liang entered the palace as a son of a good family, and then released when she was old. He never thought that she would be the maid beside Zhou Emperor Chen Zhao... No wonder Li Lian knew each other.

Zhao Nuo immediately understood that Li Lian's anger was not because Mrs. Liang was a court lady in the previous dynasty, but because Mrs. Liang was once a person close to Chen Zhao.If he really let others know this, his official career would be considered over.Now Li Lian meant to protect him, that is, to make him abandon the Liang family.

Zhao Nuo leaned over and bowed: "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful." It is self-evident what kind of merciful

Li Lian snorted coldly, and said to him, "Say it again. Think carefully about how to say this."

Zhao Nuo did not change his words, and still said: "I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

"You really value affection," Li Lian still didn't let him get up, but said, "It's only three things. Say it again, and answer after you think it through."

Zhao Nuo took off the Futou and pleaded guilty: "Please Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Lian interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Stop talking, get up, I won't ask any more."

"She has helped ministers a lot, and now she has the flesh and blood of ministers, so I can't do anything like abandoning my wife and son." Zhao Nuo gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile, "I wish to help Your Majesty create a prosperous and peaceful world, but by accident... ...The minister is willing to resign."

What is it all about? How did I become a mandarin duck beater?Li Lian cursed secretly, his original intention was just to let Zhao Nuo ask him a few words, and he helped him resolve the matter, but Zhao Nuo directly understood that he wanted him to abandon his wife and son.He sneered in his heart, if that was the case, there would be no need for him to coax Liang Ran in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go." Li Lian raised his eyebrows, and threw a piece of cloth into Zhao Nuo's arms angrily, "Take your family and go to Yuzhou."

Zhao Nuo took a deep breath, and resignedly opened the cloth, but on it was a draft edict—an edict to appoint him as the governor of Yuzhou.

He is now a member of Zhongshushe, and his official position is only lower than the fifth rank, but the governor of Yuzhou is an official of the fourth rank, and he is still the task of controlling real power in a state.

No matter how dull Zhao Nuo was, he still understood Li Lian's intentions, and Li Lian really didn't intend to kill all the officials in Yuzhou.He immediately thanked him: "Your Majesty is grateful."

Li Lian called him up, and still said to him without a good face: "You can leave in two months at most. You don't want to enter the court again in five, six, seven or eight years."

He withdrew a word without saying, the governor of Zhongzhou, the great official of the frontier, can worship the prime minister when he enters the court again.He thought, whoever made you unable to speak, I will not tell you this sentence.
