When Zhao Yan left the Suning County Palace, it was already dark.

At this time, it is late autumn, and the wind is cold at night. Zhao Yan tightened the collar of the brocade robe on his body, arranged the cloak, and limped into the carriage and drove in the direction of the Liao Palace.

Zhao Mo's advice to him really surprised him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal. Zhao Mo had actually revealed this aspect before, but he had never said it in such detail. This nephew's temperament is really different from his Lao Tzu, and he is a rare honest person. If it weren't for the fact that he had been in contact with his nephew these days and had formed a good friendship, he would have been in contact with his nephew for more than ten years of grievances in the past, I am afraid that his nephew would not have helped him with this.

If you can really get the clan knighthood, it will naturally be great. He has grown so big, he didn't talk about the marriage, and he didn't even have a shadow of the title. At that time, his brother Zhao Li had an accident in the capital and entered the prison of the Zongren Mansion, and there was no hope for the position of the prince, and the whereabouts of the title were gone, and even the knighthood of his younger brother was delayed. Changed to the heirs of other princes' mansions, how many of them have not yet had an official title at his age? Now that he has stood up, he is only the son of the King of Liao, and he does not even have the title of lieutenant of Fengguo from the sixth grade. Those people all felt that his two brothers had lost their reputation and had no hope of receiving knighthoods, but they were just bald heads of the clan, and now that their father was a prince, they could still play prestige, and when their father died, their status in the clan would plummet.

The King of Liao and the step-concubines of the King of Liao were not in a hurry, because they felt that Zhao Li would be able to regain the position of the prince of Liao sooner or later, and after the elder brother became the prince, he would naturally ask for grace for his younger brother, even if he did not have a title, he would inherit the palace in the future, and he would take care of his younger brother. But Zhao Yan knew in his heart that now their brothers were already incompatible, if he really didn't have a knighthood, he would have to rely on Zhao Li's snort in the future, and he would definitely be trampled into the mud. When his father and mother were there, Zhao Li still had concerns, and once they died, they would never have a good life.

Zhao Mo's proposal was too tempting. Zhao Yan even felt that if Zhao Mo could guarantee that he would receive the title of county king, or at least the title of a general of the town country, he might have agreed to it. But if it was just the position of an auxiliary general, he couldn't help but hesitate. The grandson of the prince of the county is not the grandson of the elder to be named the general of the auxiliary country, which is also too far away.

But Zhao Yan also knew that it was not that Zhao Mo was unwilling to contribute to him, but that such conditions were attractive enough. Just like Zhao Mo said, the title is lower and easier to get. The Liao Wangfu is not a saint, his reputation is not very good, and he has no parents and brothers to fight for him, why should he be the king of the county and the general of the town? Not to mention that he is still a disabled ...... If he has the ability, even if the temporary knighthood is a little lower, there is no hope of promotion in the future. It's just the reaction of the parents, but they have to guard against it......

Zhao Yan's heart was in turmoil, and when the carriage stopped and the coachman called him, he woke up and the Liao Wangfu had arrived.

He got out of the car and walked to the yard where he lived, but he didn't expect to meet his brother Zhao Yan on the way.

Zhao Yan looked at him with disdain: "Where have you gone in this half-day effort? The concubine is waiting to see you, why don't you hurry to the main courtyard?!" Without waiting for Zhao Yan to respond, he flicked his sleeves and took the first step.

Zhao Yan was secretly annoyed, but his mother summoned him, and he couldn't really ignore it, after all, he was ordered by his mother to go out to find out the news today, so he had to go to the main courtyard with anger.

The King of Liao and the step-concubine of the King of Liao were present. The latter saw his youngest son and asked a little casually: "What's the matter?" Zhao Moke said, why did Zhao Shuo reconcile with the Xiao Wang family? In the past few days, Zhao Shuo's house has suddenly become much more heavily defended, what happened?"

Zhao Yan spent the whole afternoon in the palace of Suning County, focusing on his mother and brother, where can he care about inquiring about the news? I'm afraid that my mother will be in a hurry, so I have to come back to see you first. Tomorrow, my son will go to Suning County Mansion again, and he will definitely find out the truth from Zhao Mo's mouth!"

The step-concubine of King Liao was a little disappointed, but still said: "That kid has always been very cunning, naturally it is not so easy to tell you the truth, you just go tomorrow and coax him more." But don't just work on him, I will send two henchmen with you, so that they can find the people around Zhao Mo to find out the news. She remembered that the place where Zhao Mo lived now was the "Suning County Palace", and she was a little embarrassed. Her son has not yet been crowned the king of the county, Zhao Mo is a little rabbit cub, he has been the king of the county for a few years, and he has also obtained a fief, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to withstand such a great blessing? !

Although Zhao Yan was reluctant to take his mother's people to Zhao Mo's place, he didn't care too much, and when he entered the Suning County Palace, where the two of them would be arranged to wait, and who they could see, it was up to them to decide. He accepted his mother's arrangement without any psychological obstacles.

But Zhao Li sneered on the side: "Hasn't the third brother always been good friends with Zhao Mo? I went to him two times in three days, I thought that the third brother and Zhao Mo were really so close, but I didn't expect Zhao Mo to be still on guard against the third brother, and he refused to even say a few words of truth? Or didn't the third brother really help his mother and me inquire about the news? In fact, the third brother didn't want the mother and me to grasp Zhao Shuo's handle at all, pull him down from the position of the prince, and then replace him by me, right? The third brother is not very kind to do this. If you don't want to help me, it's better to make it clear earlier, and the mother concubine can also send someone else who can use it, so that you don't have to waste any more time. ”

Zhao Yan was suddenly furious: "What do you mean by this?! Kindly help you do things, just because it doesn't go well for a while, you have to be complained about, right? Since you can't trust me, then why do you want to instruct me to run errands? ! I'm still injured, I can't move, and I can't bear the pain every day to run for you, and you still don't appreciate it." If I want to help you, wouldn't it be a shit?!"

The King of Liao shouted angrily: "Shut up for me! My own brother, what are you talking about?!"

Zhao Li hurriedly said: "Father, it's not that the child is too careful, such a simple matter, the third brother spent half a day's effort, but he couldn't get any useful news, I really have to wonder if he really wants to help!"

Zhao Yan also sneered: "Father, since the second brother can't trust me, why bother asking me to run errands again? It's thankless, I don't need to find guilt." ”

Seeing the two sons arguing, the step-concubine of the Liao King also became angry: "Shut up! In front of your parents, what nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you want to be angry with your father and the princess?" After scolding, she counted Zhao Yan again, "You are not doing things well, your second brother is just complaining, what are you angry about?" Tomorrow, when you inquire about the matter clearly, go home and report it, your second brother will naturally compensate you. You are siblings and brothers, and you should support each other, but you quarrel with your brother every day, fighting like a black-eyed chicken, do you remember what filial piety and friendship are?!"

It was obvious that Zhao Yan was the first to provoke the thorn, but now that the mother concubine blamed him, Zhao Yan was so angry that his face turned white.

But even King Liao didn't level a bowl of water, but said: "Okay, don't quarrel, let's not say a word to the two of us." It seems that each of them has fifty boards, but in fact, it also has no intention of making decisions for Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan smiled angrily, looked at his parents, and felt that they might not think that he was the one who had been wronged, and then looked at Zhao Li, looking at himself with disdain, and clearly did not take him as a fellow brother in his eyes, and talked about brothers, friends, and brothers? In the final analysis, it was because he had become disabled, and he had long been a waste in the eyes of his parents, and in the eyes of his brother, he was a competitor, and he was no longer worthy of being a competitor. Everything he thought was no longer important to them. All his rights and interests can be sacrificed for the position of his brother's son.

Zhao Yan suddenly felt extremely bored. What else does he have to worry about? No matter how good the Liao Wangfu is, what does it have to do with him? Does he have any status in this family?

It's really better to stand on your own, even if it's an auxiliary general. He didn't want to stay in Liaodong anymore, because the winter was bitterly cold, and his leg injury was not good. If he can ask his nephew for help and stay in the capital to settle down, then he will no longer have to look at Zhao Li's face. As for his parents, they can't take care of him anymore, they only have Zhao Li in their eyes, what else does he have to care about them?

What's more, the tone revealed by the Chen family does not seem to be fake. Zhao Mo's attitude towards this news is enough to prove that the palace does have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Liao Palace. If one day, the emperor really plans to get rid of the Liao Wangfu and take back the Liao land, what will be the fate of the Liao Wang's family? If the Liao King had not made a big mistake, he might have been able to keep the title of a county prince and change it to a smaller fief, or he could have an empty title of prince but no fief of his own. But Zhao Li is not to say that he is the son of the world, just with the stain of his past, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a formal title, right? As for himself, with the current attitude of his parents, he naturally has to take a step back. Zhao Li will not be knighted for a day, and he has no hope.

But if he relies on Zhao Mo's relationship now, to seek a title, even if it is lower, he will not have to look at his brother's face in the future, maybe Zhao Li will have to slap him in the future. When the time comes, as long as he gives his brother a smiling face and leaks some money and food between his fingers, he can exchange for the reputation of a good brother, and no matter how unwilling his father and mother are, they can't accuse him of anything, right?

When Zhao Yan walked out of the main house, his heart suddenly ignited great enthusiasm for the future. He couldn't wait to see Zhao Li whispering in front of him. It is impossible to count on his father, queen and mother, and his future status and future will still depend on his nephew Zhao Mo.

Zhao Li's voice faintly came from the main room: "Mother, I have already said that the third brother has always been dissatisfied with me, and he will lose his temper at me whenever he has the opportunity." You really have to take care of him! Where does he look like a younger brother? He hurt his leg, and I feel sad, but he can't think that I am the one who harmed him, and then indiscriminately curse people, right?!"

"Alright. The step-concubine of the King of Liao comforted her eldest son, "You don't have to say a word, he is running errands for you today after all." If he really does not do well, you should blame him, but this is only half a day's work, and it can't prove that he has neglected. Tomorrow he can't get any useful news, and it's not too late for you to complain about him. ”

Zhao Li reluctantly accepted: "Since the mother concubine said so, then I will wait for him for another day." "It seems to be very tolerant.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth, and he glanced back at the swaying figure in the room coldly, and then threw his sleeves and left.
