After Zhang Shumo learned of Cai Zhi's identity, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Cai's identity is so noble, why did he go to the northwest border to be a teacher?" ”

Cai Zhi sighed: "This matter is a long story! ”

"It's better to make a short story than Brother Cai, and see if the younger brother can help."

Cai Zhi thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm trapped by love!" Although our Cai family has a big family, it is not prosperous enough in my father's generation. My second brother died young, and my eldest brother didn't learn anything, so I naturally became the hope of the Cai family. So I started my career at the age of 17 and became my father's right-hand man at the age of 22. At that time, the emperor of the former dynasty gave me a marriage and let me marry the daughter of Dasi Nong, Lin. But I already had a sweetheart at that time, but she was a Qinglou woman! ”

"Your family won't approve of you being with a girl from a green house, so you ran away from home?" Zhang Shumo asked tentatively.

Cai Zhi shook his head: "At that time, I still took care of the Cai family in my heart, and my father also promised me that after marrying the Lin family, I could accept my sweetheart as a concubine." So, I happily married Lin, and then hurried to find my sweetheart, only to find that she was gone! After five years, I searched for her whereabouts, and finally found out that my sweetheart had been murdered, and it was my father who was the mastermind behind the grave! So I broke with my father in a fit of rage, resigned and retired, and vowed not to step into the public service again. ”

Zhang Shumo sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect Brother Cai to have such a heart-wrenching past, but I don't know why Brother Cai is willing to help me?" ”

Cai Zhi smiled bitterly: "When I first saw you, I felt that you were somewhat knowledgeable, not like an ordinary person. It wasn't until later that you said something that I was deeply moved. Establish a life for the sky, seek happiness for the common people, remove the scourge of war for the present world, and open peace for all generations! What kind of ambition can make such bold statements! Compared with Childe, Zhi was deeply ashamed, so he took the initiative to take refuge, hoping to do his part for Childe's ambition! ”

Zhang Shumo smiled and turned to leave. At that time, when he said that, he was indeed full of ambition, but after the Battle of the Northwest, he was a little confused. Just pacifying a northwest has displaced tens of millions of people and killed hundreds of thousands of troops.

That night, Chen Qing came to Zhang Yu's room to report on the investigation that day.

"Childe, Zhang Shumo has been in the capital for two days, and I have found out his whereabouts in the past two days."

"Speak!"

"Yesterday, when Zhang Shumo entered the city, he was stopped by Wu Lei, and later had a conflict with Cai Hua, and in the end, it was a martial artist next to Zhang Shumo who came forward, and Zhang Shumo apologized to Cai Hua and resolved the matter. Who knew that Zhang Shumo had a conflict with Li Bin in the Qinglou again today, and later Li Bin found Cai Hua, but Cai Hua actually scolded Li Bin and apologized to Zhang Shumo, which was very weird. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Yu tapped his finger on the table: "I had a conflict with Zhang Shumo yesterday, and today I actually started to apologize to Zhang Shumo, could it be that Cai Fu already knows Zhang Shumo's identity?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu immediately said to Chen Qing: "Quick, go and invite the teacher, just say that I have something important to discuss!" ”

Not long after, Xu Yi hurriedly came to Zhang Yu's room: "Son, I don't know what the urgency is to call the old man over so late?" Could it be related to Zhang Shumo? ”

"That's right! Chen Qing, tell the teacher the news you inquired about! Zhang Yu said.

So Chen Qing recounted that he had heard the news. Xu Yi looked at Zhang Yu after listening: "It seems that the master is really going to recognize Zhang Shumo!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Didn't Prince Wu Ang say today that the master was talking to Xue Liang about recognizing his relatives? Thinking that this matter has been confirmed, so Xue Liang will reveal the news to the Cai family and tell Zhang Shumo's true identity. Otherwise, there is no reason for Cai Hua's attitude towards Zhang Shumo to change so much in the past two days! ”

"Is that really the case? Is my father resentful of me? ”

Xu Yi hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't have to think about it, Zhang Shumo is the master's child, plus he has made great contributions, the master doesn't recognize him, I'm afraid it will make him chill, so I recognize him to stabilize him." ”

Zhang Yu snorted: "The teacher doesn't need to comfort me, my father recognized Zhang Shumo at this time, didn't he just want to tell the world that Zhang Shumo is also his son, and Zhang Shumo is also qualified to inherit the throne?" ”

Xu Yi was speechless when asked. Zhang Yu clenched his fists: "It seems that we have to act!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Lu, who was in the palace, did not fall asleep for a long time. He sat in front of the copywriter and looked at the secret security sent from the border of Yan Kingdom with some uneasiness: "Although I am extremely reluctant, I can only do this now!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu immediately summoned the little eunuch beside him: "Quick, pass on Tai Changqing to meet you!" ”

On the second day, before dawn, a little eunuch hurriedly came to the post house and knocked on Zhang Shumo's door.

"Master Zhang, Lord Zhang Lu is invited, so that you can meet you!"

Zhang Shumo was stunned and sat up: "Okay, father-in-law, wait a while, I'll come after a wash." ”

Lou Zaiying also asked in wonder, "Is there anything important for Master Zhang to call you over at this time?" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at the slightly dark sky: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the frontline." ”

Soon, Zhang Shumo was recruited to the court, and to his surprise, all the civil and military officials were there, and there was obviously something important to announce in this posture.

After a while, Zhang Lu came to the court with the courtier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today to announce something to you!" After Zhang Lu finished speaking, he sat down on the dragon chair upright.

At this time, the hall opened the pot, and people began to talk about it. Zhang Shumo also guessed: Could it be that Dad is going to announce that he is the emperor?

Zhang Lu looked at everyone's reactions, and then said slowly: "My second son, Zhang Rui, is written and written." Two years ago, he lurked incognito in the northwest region and secretly monitored the border army. Now that the war in the northwest has been settled, Gu recalled the second son Zhang Ruizhang Shumo, and hereby announced to the world! ”

After Zhang Lu finished reading, there was silence in the hall, and people looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise, and their mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

And Zhang Shumo's mind was even more blank, he didn't expect his father to recognize him so easily, wasn't he afraid of causing Zhang Yu's misunderstanding? ?

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Shumo expressionlessly, and couldn't help but regret in his heart: I was careless, I only found this sign yesterday, and my father announced it to the world today, it seems that there is no room for recovery in this matter. Then, I can only be more careful in the future, and I must grab the position of the prince!

Zhang Lu let out a long sigh and handed the edict to the ceremonial officer: "Go, tell the world the news!" ”
