"I'm sorry for not taking good care of your daughter." Zhao Jin knelt in front of Duanhou and Shen's mother, his face was full of repentance, his eyes were sunken on his face, and his beard was unshaven.
Shen's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were red and swollen. Duanhou stood beside her, the expression on his face was obscure, but the moment he heard Shen Ya fall off the cliff, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.
No wonder, he's been restless these days.
Shen Yan even fell into a trance in shock after hearing that Sister A had fallen off the cliff, and said vigorously in his mouth: "No, it won't, how is it possible!" "I can't accept the fact that my sister fell off the cliff at all.
"Brother-in-law, you tell me that this is not true." Shen Yan stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Zhao Jin's collar, and roared with all his might.
Zhao Jin didn't care about humility and let him hold on to his collar.
"Yan'er, don't be presumptuous." Duanhou shouted loudly and pulled Duanyan back, who seemed to have lost his mind. Then stepped forward and respectfully helped Zhao Jin up: "The child is not sensible, I hope the prince will not mind." ”
Zhao Jin stood up, waved his hand, looked at the second elder and Shen Yan's eyes were firm and painful, his eyes were red, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Don't worry, two second elders, I will definitely find Ya'er back." ”
Shen's mother was still just crying, she was very satisfied with this son-in-law, and Ya'er couldn't blame him for such an accident. Now looking at his emaciated appearance, Shen's mother really doesn't want to say anything, she just hopes that he can find Ya'er as soon as possible.
Duanhou also said at this time: "Benhou will also send someone to look for it, don't worry." ”
Zhao Jin nodded, and then left Duanhou to discuss important matters in the study, Shen's mother and Shen Yan had not seen each other for many days, and there was a lot to say, so Zhao Jin arranged a room for them to reminisce about the past.
"Master Hou, this assassination, you must have guessed who it was? I hope that Hou Ye can help me this time. As soon as Zhao Jin came back from Lujia Village, he threw himself wholeheartedly on this throne, and he didn't have a good rest for several days, and now it was dark and green.
The thought of avenging Shen Ya had already occupied all of him, and as long as he thought of Shen Ya's fall off the cliff that day, and the child in her womb, his eyes turned red with hatred.
Even Chongwu and Ruan Hua have been terrified these past few days.
Duanhou also saw that something was wrong with Zhao Jin, compared with the indifference and calmness of the past, there was a little more anger in his eyebrows. He frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "This revenge is not a matter of one or two days, don't be too anxious, so as not to mess up the plan." ”
It's a pity that the current Zhao Jin can't listen to it at all. He just wants to take the throne as soon as possible and avenge Ya'er.
Seeing him like this, Duanhou sighed and shook his head, there was nothing else to do but help him at the moment.
This kid is too obsessed, and he makes a bold move at this time, but I'm afraid that the world will be chaotic.
Ya'er is by his side, and he can still make him scruples, slowly trying to figure it out, right now, he is really anxious.
It's a pity that Duanhou underestimated his son-in-law after all.

In the thirty-ninth year of Zhou Zong, winter, the thirtieth day of the lunar month, night.
Tonight, the palace, which was supposed to hold a lively New Year's banquet, fell into chaos because Zhou Zong drank a glass of poisoned wine and vomited blood at the banquet and fell into a coma.
Someone reported to the Empress Dowager that the cup of poisoned wine was prepared by the third prince Zhao Kuang, and a series of evidence pointed directly at the three princes.
That night, the three princes, who were supposed to be in prison, disappeared overnight.
Lao Xiu stayed by the emperor's side and detoxified him with acupuncture. Zhou Zong, who woke up quietly, was so angry that he fell into a coma again after learning that the poisonous wine was prepared by the third prince.
Lao Xiu sighed. When he faced the saint and mentioned to him the wolf ambition of the third prince, Zhou Zong refused to believe it anyway, and finally tested it with his own body, but he didn't expect that the three princes really didn't care about the relationship between father and son, and poisoned Zhou Zong.
Thanks to the fact that he let the emperor eat an antidote pill that day, otherwise the poison thrown by the three princes, it would not take a moment for Zhou Zong to bleed to death.
After another three days, Zhou Zong woke up quietly and was furious when he learned that the third prince had led his army to the city. "Rebel, this rebel! The order went down, the three princes poisoned and murdered me, and the wolf son was ambitious to usurp the throne, and there was no forgiveness for killing! ”
One sentence of killing without mercy shocked the government and the opposition.
Then, a series of news came to report that the third prince Zhao Kuang colluded with the enemy country and was about to break through the city gate, and the people in the city were panicked.
At this time, in the southwest direction outside the city, three thousand elite soldiers suddenly appeared, and the defenders led by the seven princes in the city joined forces inside and outside, and started a fierce battle with the three princes.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights.
In the past three days and three nights, the Son of Heaven, concubines, ministers, and ordinary people in the imperial city were all nervous and panicked.
On the fourth day, the front finally came with good news, and the seven princes won a complete victory, capturing the third prince Zhao Kuang, the chief general of the Boni Kingdom.
Zhou Zong directly ordered the death of the three princes, Ruan Guifei was sent to the cold palace for the crime of harboring, and his mother clan and the ministers who colluded with him that day were all punished by the nine clans.
It is rumored that outside the noon gate of Bianjing City that day, blood flowed like a river, and the screams were endless. The seventh prince Zhao Jin personally served as the supervisor and killed the third prince Zhao Kuang.
The family members of the three princes, except for Duanhou who personally begged the emperor, spared Duan Qingya from the death penalty. The rest were all confiscated.
Zhou Zong's anger did not stop because of this, in February of the same year, the criminal department found out that the eldest prince Zhao Yin was the heir, using power for personal gain, co-opting the court officials, was removed from the status of the prince, demoted to the county king, left the capital, and went to the fief.
His mother, the queen mother, was grounded for three months, and all the affairs of the harem were left to other concubines.
In just a few months, so many changes have occurred in Beijing, and it has become a topic of conversation among the people in the city for a while.
In the forty-first year of Zhou Zong, the emperor passed the throne to the seventh prince - Zhao Jin on the grounds of physical discomfort.
In the same month, Zhao Jin ascended the throne and changed his name to Qiande, which was Emperor Qianzong, and on the day of his accession, he granted amnesty to the world, and the whole country was jubilant.
After Qianzong ascended the throne, he vigorously encouraged the reclamation of famine, developed agricultural production, expanded the scale of the imperial examination, compiled large-scale books, set up examination institutes and examination courts, and strengthened the inspection and selection of officials.

A few more months passed, the Royal Palace, the South Study.
Before Duanhou bowed to the case, his eyes swept over Zhao Jin, who had taken more than a year to become the emperor, and he was greatly emotional.
When Zhao Jin revealed to him that he wanted to do it, he felt that it was too vulgar and had many worries in his heart, but he didn't expect that in just one year, he really sat in that position.
His son-in-law is deeper than he imagined, and the city is simply unfathomable.
Duanhou has always felt that Emperor Zhouzong is the one who controls everything behind his back, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jin's scheming was even worse than Zhouzong's, and finally forced him to abdicate. Now that he has become the emperor and retired in Nanhuayuan, it can be regarded as a complete merit.
Fortunately, fortunately, he is his son-in-law, and since Ya'er's whereabouts are unknown, he has always been indebted to them, so he did not get angry with Duanfu because his second brother helped the third prince seize the heir.
