Zhao Zhengxiang looked at the children opposite, the girl was smart and sensible, and the boy was able to write and martial arts, which made him very satisfied, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "You are not young anymore, and the affairs of the family should not be hidden from you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info you also know some of the situation of the Zhao family now. Both the emperor and the crown prince regard us as a thorn in their side, and if we just walk poorly, we may invite the disaster of annihilation. That's why your grandmother and I are sick and shut up. ”

Zhao Mingjin, Zhao Mingxi, Zhao Mingyi, Zhao Jing'er and Lin Wan all frowned slightly, a trace of indignation flashed in their eyes, and they nodded, indicating that they understood the seriousness of what Zhao Zhengxiang said.

Zhao Zhengxiang continued: "However, now that I have discussed with your second uncle, I will no longer sit idly by and let others slaughter me." Instead of doing nothing, so that the emperor can't catch our family's mistakes, it is better to make some achievements so that the emperor will not dare to touch our Zhao family easily. Let him know that if it weren't for our Zhao family, he would face a greater risk, and it would be a disaster in front of him. ”

Zhao Fengwen nodded and agreed, confirming that this was indeed the result of his discussion with Zhao Zhengxiang.

Zhao Mingjin, Zhao Mingxi, Zhao Mingyi, and Zhao Jing'er were even more excited, nodded heavily, and expressed their approval of their grandfather's decision. After being locked up in the house for nearly two months, they were all about to die of grievance.

Lin Wan also agreed with Zhao Zhengxiang's decision, and today she heard Zhao Fengwen tell Zhou Changan that her parents' illnesses were almost better, and she had already guessed that Zhao Zhengxiang might not want to continue pretending to be sick anymore.

Since the emperor has not yet approved Zhao Zhengxiang's resignation, Zhao Zhengxiang can return to the Criminal Department at any time and continue to be the secretary of the Criminal Department. As for Zhao Fengwen, he just asked for leave to go home to serve his illness. Now that Zhao Zhengxiang's health has recovered, of course he can return to the Hanlin Academy as a scholar.

However, if the Zhao family begins to be active in the political arena again, and Zhao Fengwu returns to the Pingnan army safely. Zhou Changan will be even more jealous of the Zhao family, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

Lin Wan thought for a while and said worriedly: "Grandpa, do you think it's the right time for the Zhao family to return to the court now?"

Zhao Zhengxiang looked at Lin Wan appreciatively, nodded, and said, "Yes, it is an eventful time in the imperial court, and the emperor needs us now, so he should not want to touch our Zhao family for the time being." Even if the Nanyue Kingdom and our Great Feudal Kingdom are married, the emperor will not rest assured that he will ally with them. Therefore, the Pingnan army is very important now, as long as the Pingnan army is still in the hands of your uncle for a day, the emperor will not touch us for a day. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and looked at Zhao Zhengxiang seriously, waiting for him to continue.

Zhao Zhengxiang continued: "Moreover, we have received news that Zhou Tianhong has reached a consensus with Lan Ziheng, the crown prince of the South Yue Kingdom, and General Hong Qiong, and the South Vietnamese Congress helped Zhou Tianhong seize the throne as soon as possible, so what the emperor has to guard against now is his good son." ”

Lin Wan twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Zhou Tianhong is the crown prince, and the throne will be hiss sooner or later, why is he in such a hurry?"

Zhao Zhengxiang shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Wan'er, you don't understand. The emperor has so many sons, even if Zhou Tianhong is ninety percent sure that the throne will be hiss in the future, he doesn't dare to bet on the number of failures. What's more, the emperor is unpredictable, and he shouldn't even be fifty percent sure in his heart. Besides, the South Vietnamese Kingdom was willing to help him, but it was not willing to wait with him. The emperor is still in good health, and who can say to which son he will pass the throne to in many years?"

Lin Wan nodded slightly, thinking in her heart that Zhou Changan now looks really healthy. However, according to the plot development in the script, after a few years, Zhou Changan's body suddenly failed. dragged on to the end, and before the king of Pingnan, who was far away in Fengnan City, returned to Beijing, he had already died of illness. Could it be that it was because Zhou Tianhong couldn't wait and made a move in it?

Zhao Zhengxiang saw that Lin Wan seemed to have something in mind, and couldn't help asking: "Wan'er, what are you thinking?" You might as well say it, and everyone will study it." ”

Lin Wan thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure, I'm thinking, if Zhou Tianhong wants to get the throne sooner, he will definitely find a way to make the emperor have to pass the throne to him quickly." And the emperor is now in the prime of life, of course, he will not want to let go of the power in his hands so early. So, will Zhou Tianhong do that big rebellious thing?"

Zhao Zhengxiang was stunned, although what Lin Wan said was very likely. But no one wants to believe that a son would murder his own father.

Zhao Fengwen thought about it, nodded, and said, "What Lin Wan said, I have to guard against it." If Zhou Tianhong does this now, even if he can successfully ascend the throne, it will definitely lead to chaos in the world. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang also nodded, turned his head to Zhao Fengwen and said, "Fengwen, you immediately notify our eyes and ears in the palace, pay close attention to the emperor's diet, and the actions of the various factions in the harem. ”

Zhao Fengwen replied respectfully: "Yes, father, the child will do it in a while." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang looked at Lin Wan again, frowned and asked, "Wan'er, what is your father's attitude now, is he still biased towards the crown prince Zhou Tianhong?"

Lin Wan smiled, shook his head and said, "My father has never been biased towards any prince, he just looks at who has the best chance of winning, and he secretly supports whom." Moreover, as long as the emperor is still in the sky, he will not dare to show his feet. However, after some persuasion from Wan'er, he has now figured out that no matter which prince he helps to get the throne, it is not as useful as supporting his own sons and daughters. So, he now has to worry about my brother and me's decision. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Lin Zhihuai has been confused for so many years, and finally figured it out, where can anyone be more important than his wife and children?

Lin Wan wanted to say a few good words for Lin Zhihuai, but she was afraid of making Zhao Zhengxiang angry, so she had to echo: "Grandpa is right, my father was really confused back then, and he almost killed his mother." Even if I figure it out now, I already regret it. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang snorted coldly, slapped the table angrily, and scolded: "Hmph, don't say that Liniang won't forgive him again, even if Liniang forgives him, I won't send my daughter back to that beast!"

Zhao Fengwen looked at Lin Wan's embarrassed appearance, turned his head and whispered to persuade Zhao Zhengxiang, "Father, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Wan'er, do you know? We have found out that over the years, your mother's illness was really made by Lin Zhihuai's concubine, just because of the emperor's words, he went to poison his wife, and even the poison was given to him by the emperor." ”
