Chapter Ninety-Four: Rekindled

Zhao Shuo didn't know that his son's gaze at him had become a little weird, and he was talking about his own words: "Originally, I thought that although Yongjiahou didn't have any real power in his hands, as long as the emperor favored him and the prince was willing to get close to him, he was still a little capable, what he wanted to do, big things can't be done, small things are always fine." But as it turns out, I still overestimated him!"

Zhao Shuo took the return of Zhenxihou's father and son to Beijing as an example. In fact, he also heard it from others, but he pondered it in private, and he also felt that his ideas were very insightful.

Although the southwest border is not as prosperous and tranquil as the capital, he is a dignified marquis, and no matter where he is, who can wronged him? Although there are some old wounds on his body, some of them are treated by good doctors, even if they are not as good as the imperial doctors in Beijing, it is a big deal to return to Beijing to recuperate for a year and a half, and still go back to the southwest border to be a general in charge of one side, isn't it comfortable? Suddenly, the emperor issued an order summoning him back to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries, and said that it was grace, but in fact he had confiscated the military power in his hands. That's it, the emperor even summoned his family and son back to Beijing, instead of letting his eldest son stay in the southwest to take over his father's military power, isn't this obvious? The emperor clearly can't trust the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and wants to put the Su family father and son into idleness.

Who knew that after Zhenxihou returned to Beijing, the relatives and friends who came to visit came back one after another with some gossip, saying that this time it was Mrs. Zhenxihou who was not worried about her husband's old injury, and wanted her eldest son to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, so she begged her in-laws Yongjiahou to bring Zhenxihou's father and son back to Beijing. After Zhenxi Hou arrived at home, Jin saw the emperor, thanked him, and when he got home, he made a fire at his wife, and scolded the younger son for not being sensible, did not stop his mother from being confused, and let the little daughter-in-law go to beg the in-laws, even the in-laws complained, and the New Year also used the excuse of being injured to the body, and refused to come to the house to visit, and then he was still afraid that the emperor would hear the rumors, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the holy will, so he did not get angry anymore, and honestly invited the imperial doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment every day, apply medicine and take medicine, and recuperate with heart, in order to recover as soon as possible and return to the original position.

Zhao Shuo believes that although the matter of returning to Beijing is the grace that Mrs. Zhenxi Hou asked her little daughter-in-law to ask for her uncle, if she is a more careful and thoughtful person to do this thing, she will definitely do things more satisfactorily, instead of helping people with good intentions, and causing restlessness in people's houses and discord between husband and wife.

For example, Zhenxi Hou has an old injury and needs to return to Beijing to recuperate, but he is a high-powered general, and he has lost the military power in the southwest, so he must always make up for him in the capital, and arrange a decent real shortage, so that he can get face.

Another example is the eldest son of Zhenxi Hou, who has been trained in the southwest border for many years, and in terms of qualifications and talents, he is enough to take charge of himself, even if he can't be allowed to directly take the position of his father's chief general because of his age, he should also be given a deputy general, right? Wouldn't letting him stay on the southwest border to guard it would be more appeasing the morale of the army and reassuring the Zhenxi Hou Mansion? As for the heirs of incense or something, it can be done in the southwest. If a wife is afraid of hardship, she stays at her mother's house for a long time to recuperate, that is, his wife is not virtuous! The in-laws ordered the daughter-in-law to accompany the son, and the daughter-in-law can still disobey the order? If she is really a stubborn fool, it is a big deal to divorce her wife and remarry, and you must not really delay the incense. If it is because of the strength of the Yue family, he does not dare to divorce his wife, then he will take a second room from a good family, and he will not delay the birth of a son. Originally, the eldest son of the Zhenxi Hou was too cowardly, and his wife was not around, wouldn't he have taken a concubine?

Of course, Mrs. Zhenxi Hou was old and ignorant, and asked someone to ask for the emperor's decree and summoned her eldest son to return home. The eldest son of Zhenxi Hou has already returned to the capital, and he can't stay in the southwest to guard, and the Su family can only accept his fate. But Yongjiahou has always won the emperor's favor, and seeing that his niece's husband's family has suddenly lost military power, doesn't he know how to help with the dots? Not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to let the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenxi find a similar shortage around the capital, right? The three major battalions in western Beijing, as well as the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Imperial Forest Army, where can there not be a military attache of the third or fourth grade? In this way, the Su family can be reunited, the heirs are hopeful, and the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenxi will not lose their authority, and they will not be idle, wouldn't they all be happy?

Although the youngest son is expected to leave his original position and is really lacking, it will definitely not be in the southwest, the military power in the southwest has fallen, but the younger son cannot stay in Beijing, and the Zhenxi Hou family is finally reunited, and they have to be separated. Yongjiahou has done this thing, isn't there any shame in his heart?

Zhao Shuo's mouth was like a river, and he commented for a long time, but he only felt that it was cool, and he was dry, so he hurriedly took a cup and drank half a cup of tea, but when he turned around, he saw his son Zhao Mo sitting silently, staring at the ground, and I didn't know if Fang Cai was in a daze and didn't listen to his words.

Zhao Shuo was a little dissatisfied: "Did you hear all my words?!"

"I hear you. Zhao Mo replied calmly, but he remembered that when he went to Chengenhou's Mansion, Qin Jian told him about the recent situation of his little aunt Qin Jinyi at her husband's house. Zhenxihou is indeed not very happy to return to Beijing, but the holy decree has come down, and his injuries really can't be delayed any longer, and it is natural for him to return to Beijing to recuperate, and he does not have as much dissatisfaction as rumored. As for his eldest son Su Boxiong, he had no complaints, but was happy to be able to invite the gynecological holy hand of the Tai Hospital to recuperate for his wife after returning to Beijing.

As for Su Zhongying, the second son of Zhenxi Hou, in fact, both of them want to leave the capital and go out for a few years. Out of filial piety, they did not dare to have any objections to the method of raising their children and grandchildren by their mother, Mrs. Zhenxihou, but they were worried about their sons in their hearts. This time, I have to go anyway. Even if the father and brother are against it, they have to get things done. At this point, Zhao Mo heard gossip from Qin Hanzhen.

Several parties of the Su family in Zhenxi Hou Mansion thought about it, which was too far from what his father Zhao Shuo thought. Zhao Shuo was self-righteous, feeling that Yongjiahou Qin Bai had not done a good job in this matter, so he deduced that Qin Bai had no holy dependents, he really had no authority, and even his ability was very problematic, and it was useless to get close, and he also advised his son to have less contact with the people of Yongjiahou's mansion.

He said to Zhao Mo: "In the past, you were close to the Yongjiahou family, and his youngest granddaughter, the age is also compatible with you, if you get married in the future, it will be a good marriage." At that time, you were still young, and you didn't have much weight in front of the emperor, I thought that if you became the grandson-in-law of Yongjiahou, at least one county king would still be able to sit firmly, and I would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and I would no longer have to worry about you. But now it's different, Yongjiahou is not as capable as we thought, and the cold-hearted and cold-hearted ones may not be interested in you. I have given him a gift for a few years, and he has never looked at me differently? If he had the slightest concern for you, he would not have neglected your father like this. No matter how much I tried to woo him, he ignored it. I think you should not waste your efforts with him, if you have this time and energy, why don't you make friends with a few more powerful courtiers and famous generals? Even your marriage can have a better choice. You are a dignified and powerful county king, and you are afraid that there will be no princess and daughter and famous ladies to marry? Why do you have to be the eldest daughter of a widow who was raised by a village woman?"

Zhao Mo's face instantly became gloomy, and he glanced up at his father faintly.

Zhao Shuo met his eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on his body, and couldn't help but annoy: "What kind of eyes are you?!Could it be that I'm not for your good?!"

Zhao Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth, it seemed to be a smile, but it always made people feel more like mockery: "Then my father thinks, which courtiers and famous generals should I get close to? And which famous daughter should I marry? I know these people, and I married such a wife, what do I want? I am not yet eighteen years old, and I am already the king of the county with real power, and the fief is also running well." My father thought, "Who else do I need to curry favor with?" What good can I do if I go to such great length?"

Zhao Shuo's face was elongated, and there were countless jealousy and hatred in his heart: "You became the king of the county before you were eighteen years old, and you also had a fief, you are very proud, aren't you?! Who do you think this depends on?! Do you think your wealth can be enjoyed for a lifetime? You can't take a long-term view? You are so ambitious, and you also have the face to be my son?!"

Zhao Mo took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He can still tolerate his father's stupid words before, just go in the left ear and out the right ear. However, his father even arranged for Cousin Qin, and even calculated his marriage, instigating him to sacrifice for his own power and interests, so why should he be? ! He now lives a better life than his father, more power, more money, more connections, a more stable position, and no lack of love from relatives and friends. There's nothing to be afraid of him.

Zhao Mo looked at his father straight like this, and didn't speak.

Zhao Shuo was stared at by him for a while, but he couldn't sit still at first, and stood up suddenly, not even doing anything to cover up: "Okay, what can you know as a child?" In short, on the palace banquet on the seventh day of the first lunar month, you will honestly stay aside for me, accompany me to meet a few marshals and generals, and then go to meet a few Shangshu lords and grandfathers. If you do it well, you will have a good marriage waiting for you. Don't worry, you won't really be asked to turn your face with the Yongjiahou family, and your in-laws will naturally be in-laws in the future. As long as you do what I say, your position as the king of the county will only become more and more secure, and it is not impossible to be promoted to prince in the future. But if you disobey me...... Don't blame me for ignoring the love between father and son!"

He threw up his sleeves and left, leaving Zhao Mo to sit alone in the warm pavilion, holding a tea bowl in his hand with a thoughtful expression.

What kind of life his father has lived in the past few years, even if Zhao Mo doesn't know the details, he can know a rough idea. He suddenly became so active, it seemed that he still had the intention of marrying through his eldest son, could it be that he had found a new target? Could it be that someone else was instigating him behind his back? And what was the purpose of him specifically mentioning the Zhenxi Hou Mansion?

Zhao Mo still remembered the unidentified messenger "little guy", his father said that it was his "uncle", but he didn't know which uncle came to Beijing? If the children of the clan in the capital were so arrogant and arrogant, they would definitely act more flamboyantly on weekdays, how could the people of the Liao Wangfu not recognize him? Could it be a clan outside Beijing? But I don't know which one it was? Is there any connection between him and Zhao Shuo, who has rekindled his ambitions?
