Zhao Chen didn't move for a long time after receiving the letter from the bamboo tube bird.Zhao Yuan was wiping his knife, and when he saw this, he moved behind his father to take a look.

"Come here," Zhao Chen grabbed him, frowned, and said, "I have something to tell you."

Zhao Yuan sat down cross-legged opposite him in a daze: "You...you tell me, I'll listen." So serious, did something happen in Xiguan?

Zhao Chen said directly: "Young Master Yu is under house arrest, I'm afraid something will happen to Lingwu Palace."

"Young Master Yu is under house arrest?" Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately reacted, "Father sent someone back to Jiangcheng to contact Cui Zhi to send a letter, so it's possible that Mrs. Lingguo wanted to push Zhao Yu out, but was discovered by that person? "

His speculation was completely close to the truth, just like what Zhao Chen thought.

Zhao Chen looked at his son seriously: "Anu, Mrs. Lingguo may be dead." He thought deeper and knew the monarch better than others.If Mrs. Lingguo intends to exchange Zhao Yu with him, there is absolutely no way the monarch will let her go, and the blood relationship between mother and child must be relied on.

He had guessed Mrs. Lingguo's death, but he didn't know that the other party's death was actually just an accident.However, Mrs. Lingguo has such an idea, and death is only a matter of time.

It took Zhao Yuan a long time to realize the purpose his father emphasized.

Oh, that's right, Mrs. Lingguo seems to be his grandmother... According to what his father said, if his grandmother hadn't protected him back then, he would have been reincarnated with his parents long ago.

Zhao Yuan was quiet for a while, then asked, "Do you think Zhao Mian killed her?"

Zhao Chen looked at the vast snow field outside the tent, and said in a gloomy voice, "There are more bad luck than good luck."

Zhao Yuan didn't know what to say.In fact, he has no impression of that lady at all. The last time he entered the palace with his father was seven years ago. He was rescued by Liao Ting when he was in danger, and he stayed in Lingwu Palace for a short while... Just like that, she I didn't see him either.Feelings are out of the question at all, if you want to say sad, it's actually a little bit.

He tugged at his father and asked in a low voice, "Is this what you planned?"

Zhao Chen shook his head, grabbed his chin seriously, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't think about it. A father wouldn't do such a thing." He gently pinched his son's pointed chin, "I I originally planned to spread your background through the Lu family and bring over Lu Tuo's old department, the most important thing is to let her figure out her position and win over Liao Ting... It seems that she is more afraid of me usurping the throne, and would rather abandon her son and favor her grandson as the leader."

He murmured as he spoke.

In fact, he didn't think about what to do to Qi Gong, but if the Lu family is not dead and she is as he guessed, it is not impossible.He can't move the Zhao royal family, but Jiangcheng?He wants to grab it.

Zhao Yuan grabbed his father's hand and took it off, and asked with a relaxed expression, "What should we do now?"

The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth curled up and he said, "Everything is business as usual, the safety of Lingwu Palace is unknown for now, Liao Ting is firmly in my hands, and he cannot escape."

Zhao Yuan didn't quite understand this point.Isn't Liao Ting from Zhao Mian?Otherwise, how could you just turn your back on it?

A certain father looked at him and said with a smile: "It's normal if you don't understand. Liao Ting's most important person is in Lingwu Palace, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the monarch. Do you think he should be obedient?"

"That's how it is. I said he has such a close relationship with Lingwu Palace, why didn't he help me and help that bastard instead!" Zhao Yuan punched hard, "Now if something happens to my grandmother, see if Liao Ting can't help it!" Go all out with that bastard!"

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said his important person is the Lu family?"

what?

"Lan'e, the grand maid next to the Lu clan, is Liao Ting's own sister."

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth wide and looked at him.

"After Liao Ting entered the palace, his sister was almost betrayed. It was the Lu family who sent people to rescue her, and then took him to serve him. Liao Ting was able to get to the head of the inner court guard, and the Lu family contributed the most." Zhao Chen said flatly, " That's why Liao Ting can be threatened by the monarch, because his relatives and benefactors are all in Lingwu Palace."

He stood up and pulled out his lingling long knife from the haystack, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Anu, we will be able to return to Xiguan soon, and I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you in the Qiqi Palace for my father."

At the end of November, Liao Tingguo, as Zhao Chen expected, beheaded Yuan Chu with lightning speed, put Yuan Jue under house arrest, and regained control of the Xiguan Camp.Within a few days, Liao Ting led his troops to welcome Zhao Chen and his son back to camp.

Almost at the same time, there was an uproar in Jiangcheng.The grand maid of the Lingwu Palace escaped from Miyagi, claiming that Duke Zhao was insane, murdered his mother and imprisoned his son, and claimed that Zhao Yuan was the son of Lutuo.

Back then, when the Lu family dominated the harem, all the wives of the rich and powerful families had entered the palace to have an audience, and the maid Lan'e around her had been seen by everyone, and she couldn't fake it.Besides, it is true that Young Master Yu has not shown up for a while, there are rumors in the palace that Lu's family is seriously ill and Young Master Yu is sick, but who knows the truth?

Lan'e's words quickly spread throughout Jiangcheng, and the government and the public were shocked.

This era is not like the later generations, the aristocratic family has been annihilated in history, leaving only the supremacy of the monarchy.At this time, the big family lasted for hundreds of years, and the number of ancestral tablets added up was even more than that in the royal family's ancestral temple.Moreover, the various families are married to each other, and the genealogy is intertwined and intertwined. Counting up to two or three generations, the blood of each family can always be found.

At the beginning, the extermination of the Lu family was too sudden, and it was also because the monarch was worried that the family would intervene.He destroyed the direct branch of the Lu clan, but he couldn't destroy the daughter of the Lu clan who had passed away in other people's families, and he couldn't destroy the children of the other surname who were bleeding the blood of the Lu clan.

Since Zhao Mian succeeded to the throne, the nobles have been suppressed one after another, military officers have no soldiers, and civil servants have no power. How can everyone be reconciled?

Lu Hui soon received more than ten or twenty letters of worship, and each family had hundreds or thousands of private soldiers, ready to move, and it was only a start.At this time, everyone discovered that the Lu family still has a pure and impure bloodline, the eldest son and grandson!Still a well-known little general!The son inherited the father's business, what else is there to say?

"...deeply hated the extermination of the family back then, everything in the family is ready, I don't know when I will see Yuanlang..."

Lu Hui read the short note in her hand, her brows loosened, and she laughed loudly.

It's done!

He looked up at the hidden guard beside him, and said, "Give my letter to Concubine Qi, if you want to save Young Master Yu, show your sincerity."

The dark guard took the order and left.

In December, heavy snow.Zhao Chen led his troops to the south and went straight to Jiangcheng.Zhao Yuan stayed behind in Xiguan, gathered more than a dozen herdsmen in the northern grassland, and set up three counties and 27 counties. Wu Rilan's family controlled one of the counties, and Dolan's father directly became the county guard.As a result, the father and son's army directly increased by more than [-] troops, and most of them were incorporated into the elite cavalry, which greatly increased their strength.

Zhao Chen's army approached outside the city gate, but there was no one guarding Jiangcheng.The Jinwu Guard is in the hands of Cui Zhi, and the Cui family even sent [-] soldiers from Qinghe to assist Zhao Chen. The inner court guards are only a few hundred in the Qi Palace, and they can't even get through the Taoist sect, let alone Protect Zhao Gongan from danger.

Yuan's marriage to Zhao Jing was destined to stand on the opposite side of Zhao Chen.Seeing that the Zhao royal family was on the brink of collapse, the original family head Yuan Miao ordered Yuan Hexiu to abandon Zhao Jing and put Zhao Jing under house arrest, hoping that after Zhao Chen entered the city, he would trade her for the safety of the whole family.Yuan He refused to obey, but was stabbed to death by Yuan Miao's sword in a rage.

Zhao Jing escaped from the original mansion that night, but was stopped by Cui Zhi before passing through the Xuanmen, and was imprisoned in the Jinwuwei prison.

A few days later, Zhao Chen let him go, and Qi Concubine took Young Master Yu out of the city, all the way to the south, and one after another, there were families of all sizes following him out of the city. Most of these were civil servants, and they were more willing to support Young Master Yu.

Zhao Chen rode on a tall horse, dressed in black armor, looking down at the mother and son who had fled in a hurry from under the first armor.

"I don't know what your plan is, sir?"

He asked condescendingly, Qi Pin's eyes became hot, and he was about to bow down while pulling Young Master Yu.

Zhao Chen waved his hand, and there were soldiers beside them firmly supporting the two, preventing them from kneeling down.Young Master Yu didn't want to salute Zhao Chen at all. In his opinion, this was a rebellious minister who took away his father's family business!

"Zhao Chen, even if you succeed to the throne, it's not justified!" He stood there stubbornly, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.The black cavalry soldiers around immediately drew out their long knives in unison, flashing them threateningly.He had never seen such a scene before, and he was not as powerful as others, so he immediately fell silent.

Zhao Chen didn't take it seriously, got off his horse and walked up to them.

"Xiaojun, I have no intention of becoming king, but for the long-term safety of Zhao, I can only wrong you to go to the south. There is a city, surrounded by four counties and 39 counties, which is suitable for you." He smiled slightly. The soldiers handed him a map.

He handed the map to Concubine Qi, and said sincerely: "I also hope that after your father succeeds your son, Yu, you will decree to make me Marquis of Zhao, so that I can manage the land under my name, righteousness, words and obedience."

Young Master Yu lowered his head in shame, but Qi Concubine saluted gratefully, and said: "I will definitely urge Young Master Yu to remind him not to forget Marquis Zhao Ende, and I will accept this map."

Zhao Chen immediately looked at her appreciatively.

Sometimes, even women are better at judging the situation than men.

Concubine Qi was smarter than he thought, she sent someone to send a jade scroll directly, and forced Gongzi Yu to write the Marquis Edict, which was stamped with her private seal.

"This jade scroll can be used as a token." She offered the jade scroll with both hands, "When Yu'er succeeds to the throne, I will send the official jade scroll right away."

Until he was far away from Jiangcheng, Gong Ziyu was still brooding.

He looked at his mother and said, "You said that Ah Weng is waiting for us in Yaojiang, it is a lie. Ah Weng will never run away."

Qi Pin said indifferently: "So what if it's fake? Zhao Mian doesn't regard you as his son at all. Even if there is no Zhao Chen, he may not pass the throne to you in the future. It's better like now. The four counties are not small. Now there are dozens of countries as big as the Central Plains, and there are still others smaller than us..." She laughed again as she spoke, and looked at her son earnestly, "Govern the country well, raise soldiers and expand the land, and after several generations, It may not be worse than your father."

She thought to herself, what's more, Zhao Chen is a warrior, if he can fight, no one can beat him, but it is not easy to govern a big country, so it will not be easy for them by then?

If it were a month ago, Young Master Yu would definitely not listen to Qi Bin's words, nor would he abandon his father.But Zhao Mian's behavior of putting him under house arrest made him completely cold-hearted, and he was even more afraid of his father's madness, for fear that one day he would listen to the instigation of others and kill him later.

He comforted himself, since Zhao Chen didn't kill them, he probably wouldn't kill Ah Weng either.

How did Young Master Yu know that Zhao Chen did not intend to kill Zhao Mian, firstly Zhao Mian was not sober, and secondly, he was not qualified to kill this person, the one who was qualified was his son.

The only son of Lutuo and Zhuang Ji.

On the fifth day of December, Da Sima opened the city to welcome Zhao Chen.The army entered Jiangcheng mightily.

On that day, he was proclaimed marquis.

Zhao Yuan straightened out all the affairs in Xiguan, and finally returned to Jiangcheng before the winter solstice.He was greeted by Hou Shizi's Yijia at the gate of Jiangcheng, posing in a grand manner, ostentatiously, Jiaxun and others were all wearing silver-polished armor, looking at him with smiles.

"Welcome the prince into the city!" Jia Xun said with a smile, "Marquis Zhao is waiting for you!"

The corners of Zhao Yuan's mouth twitched, and he brought Juhe Zhao Da and Zhengyang Huaixi's four guards into the city first.

In the past, horses were not allowed in Fang City, but this is different from the past. Now in Jiangcheng, his father is the eldest and his second child, and no one dares to stop him.He rode his horse through the gates of various squares and entered Shangfang. From a distance, he saw a tall figure standing on the steps of the old house, looking at him.

"Father!!" Zhao Yuan yelled, and threw aside the shelf he was holding just now, and Ma Liu jumped off the horse and ran towards the gate of the Zhongjun Mansion.

Zhao Chen opened his long arms from a distance, and directly hugged the young man who rushed over into his arms, and held him up high under his armpits.

Zhao Yuan blushed with embarrassment, bowed his head and shouted: "Father, put me down quickly...it's so embarrassing..." Boom.

"What embarrassment!" He stared, then sighed, and hugged Zhao Yuan into his arms, "I see you've lost weight?"

Zhao Yuan's excitement just now was all oiled up, and he used his dark energy, but he couldn't pull his face out of his father's chest.A certain father messed up the bun that Li Xia made for him, so he let him go, and entered the mansion with half his arms around him: "Let's go and meet you, Uncle Lu!"

The two walked through the vestibule and walked all the way to the inner courtyard.

"Father, why are you waiting for me at the Zhongjun Mansion?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously while looking at the familiar Wubo Lake.

Zhao Chen smiled: "This is our home, I'm not waiting for you here, where should I be?"

Zhao Yuan's heart suddenly warmed up, and he rubbed his father's shoulder embarrassingly.

In fact, although he was happy when he came, he was a little scared when he slept in the tent at night.His father is considered king and hegemony now, but what about in the future?Life is not a fairy tale book, it is over when it ends, and there are still decades to live.Just look at Zhao Mian's family and his family to know how terrible the monarchy is.Will his father change in the future?Will you marry a wife and a concubine?Will you be afraid of him?

But from the moment he saw his father just now, he wasn't afraid anymore.

Father is Father.

No one followed behind, and after entering the vertical flower gate, there is a garden path.

Zhao Chen hugged Mou Yuan with one arm, turned around and pressed against the flower wall, and bit his mouth, sucking the tip of his tongue.

"Hmm..." Not to be outdone, Zhao Yuan put his arms around his father's waist, and pinched his father's butt with one hand.

Zhao Chen panted heavily, and parted his lips.His eyes were full of meaning, and he said: "Anu, your birthday will be in a few days, and I will ask Mr. Lu to plan your coming-of-age ceremony for you. You have to prepare well in these few days."

Zhao Yuan was struck by five thunderbolts.

lying trough-

He forgot.

Is that a coming of age ceremony?Is it the young master's broken chrysanthemum day? ! !

Zhao Chen smiled ripplingly and gently.

"Baby, I have prepared the same Zhenghong dress for our father."

Just consider it a marriage.

On the ninth day of December, Zhao Gongmian died of illness and was known as Zhao Chenggong in history.
