Chapter 242: Anger Without Strength

/p> Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yao Ji's red eyes, and guessed in her heart: Although she is not sure of the identity of the man in front of her, she should believe it a little. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

He spoke: "When Yao Fengji left home, Yao Ji was still young; But you have an older brother who you should know his father. Is your brother in Yunnan now? ”

Yao Ji turned her head when she heard the sound. Zhu Gaoxu looked at her eyes and nodded his head.

She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "My brother is also in Yunnan. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief...... He usually cares a lot about Bigg, and seems to be useful; Now Yao Ji can trust him as a person, and believe that he will not do such a despicable thing. For example, find someone to pretend to be Yao Fengji and trick her into confessing who her brother is.

"Then why don't you go and find your brother now in order to confirm Yao Fengji's identity?" Zhu Gaoxu then asked kindly.

At this time, Yao Ji had calmed down a little, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "How did the prince recognize my father?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu gestured and said indifferently: "The technique of tying the belt." ”

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ma Peng again. Ma Peng said: "Yao Fang and you, are you okay all these years?" ”

Yao Ji didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I'll go to Bao'en Temple Street and find my brother first." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately responded: "I asked Wang Gui to send you there." ”

After Yao Ji left the restaurant, Ma Peng was very silent. He inserted his fingers into his sideburns, rubbed his head vigorously, and sat down on a wooden bench with his head buried in his head without saying a word.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, he speculated about the mood of the father and daughter, and at the same time pondered the stake of this matter.

After waiting for a long time, the Yao Ji brothers and sisters finally returned.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood at the door of the wing, his eyes stayed on Ma Peng's body, and he glared: "Dad?!" ”

Ma Peng stood up from the bench and looked at Hou Sheng: "You are Yao Fang?" ”

There is a square wooden table and four stools in the wing, which was originally a restaurant. Zhu Gaoxu sat on the innermost stool, he didn't make a sound, just carefully observed their reactions...... or because the children have changed a lot when they grow up, Ma Peng is not very sure of the appearance of the two children; But Yao Fang recognized Ma Peng. But that's enough.

Yao Ji said: "Brother, is he really our father?" ”

Yao Fang was still glaring at Ma Peng, he stood at the door, nodded without looking back, and couldn't speak for a while.

Yao Ji asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, why did you abandon us in the first place?!" ”

"Alas!" Ma Peng sighed again.

Zhu Gaoxu finally spoke: "There is a stool here, come and sit down." After so many years, a sentence or two may not be clear. ”

…… The three members of the Yao family sat together and told each other about the past, and the truth from many years ago gradually became clear. Zhu Gaoxu has been listening.

Before Daoyan became a monk, he was Yao Fengji's elder of the same clan and was regarded as an uncle; Originally, everyone was a member of the Yao family, and there were not many grievances.

But later, Yao Fengji, who was a hundred households in Jinyiwei, discovered Daoyan's secrets. In order not to be accused, Dao Yan preemptively set up a trap to frame Yao Fengji for colluding with pirates.

Yao Fengji was not Daoyan's opponent at all, he was defeated in that conspiracy, and after being convicted of a major crime, he was forced to abandon his wife and children and flee; His wife hanged herself.

After all, Dao Yan is also surnamed Yao, and he has some affection for his family, so he has affection for the two ignorant children and entrusts someone to raise them. Later, Dao Yan borrowed the grace of raising and won the loyalty of the brothers and sisters, and simply used them to work for them.

Dao Yan thought that Yao Fengji's matter had passed, and when he entered Beijing after the "Battle of Jingjing", he tore up Yao Fengji's conviction file back then, thinking that the truth would be forever sealed in the past and no longer known......

"I want to go to Beijing to kill Yao Guangxiao and avenge my unjust death!" Yao Fang's eyes were blood-red, and her voice was full of hatred as she gritted her teeth.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately persuaded: "Yao Baihu don't worry. ”

Yao Fang punched the square table, with tears in her eyes, she suddenly raised her head and laughed, and sneered: "I actually used my mother's killer as a dog, and I have been deceived for so many years!" If I don't kill the enemy, am I still human?! ”

Zhu Gaoxu observed his reaction, and said: "Dao Yan is now my father's most confidant of the emperor, and it is difficult to say whether Yao Baihu can succeed in assassination; Even if it strikes suddenly, you don't want to run. ”

"A life is worth a life!" Yao Fang stood up.

The voice of "Ma Peng" said: "Your brothers and sisters are miserable, let your father do this." ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped his palm on the table, and the three of them all looked at him sideways. Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Is it the husband's work to be so reckless?" Your family just didn't fight Yao Guangxiao back then, what happened to you? ”

The emotions of the Yao family's father and son finally eased slightly, and they fell silent together.

"The justice of the world is not in black and white right and wrong, but in the success or failure of strength and weakness." Zhu Gaoxu exhaled a breath, his tone was a little softer, and he said in a deep voice, "Anger without strength is meaningless. ”

Yao Ji's voice said: "Father and brother, don't be impatient, please listen to the words of His Royal Highness the King of Han." I have been by the prince's side for a long time, and I believe in the prince's knowledge. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the left and right and said: "Yao Guangxiao is almost seventy years old, he has no family and no children, even if he is killed, what will happen? Whether you should be a sinner or a sinner, his name will go down in history for centuries to come. How interesting is that? ”

Yao Fang looked at Zhu Gaoxu with red eyes and said, "Your Highness thinks, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Only hatred can't make you successful. What's more, the enemy who is close to old age, what he cares about most is not his life; Even if Dao Yan was assassinated, he was still not defeated! Only by destroying what he cherishes the most and completely letting him taste defeat will it be enough to avenge your family's grievances and blood feuds for so many years. What does Yao Baihu think? ”

Yao Fang nodded silently.

"Good." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Yao Baihu is a traitor and spy under Dao Yan, and he should understand that Dao Yan wants to deal with me; Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you, a henchman, to Yunnan to keep an eye on me. As long as you can vote for me, you will be a very big threat to Yao Guangxiao, and sooner or later you will have a chance to take revenge! ”

His expression was grim, and he said firmly: "I am the emperor's concubine, I have all the money, food, power, soldiers and horses, and I am strong. Only I, Zhu Gaoxu, have the ability to avenge you; Only I can give you a future! ”

Zhu Gaoxu gradually regained his composure, and continued quietly: "What's more, Yao Ji is someone close to me, and I will give her a title in the future." If you follow my command and have some credit, will you be treated badly in the future? ”

The father and son glanced at each other, and Ma Peng, who had just been appointed by Zhu Gaoxu and temporarily commanded the Yuezhou Guard, looked at Yao Fang and nodded slightly. The two of them stood up one after another, knelt down on one knee together, clasped their fists and said: "If His Royal Highness the King of Han does not give up, the father and son of the last general are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, and he stepped forward to help them up with his own hands: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu noticed that Yao Ji was sitting silently on the side, her face expressionless, her face blank and cold.

Yao Fang stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, there will be two meeting gifts at the end, and I hope that the Lord will accept it with a smile." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at him expectantly.

Yao Fang said: "One is a person, he sent a letter to the Tiren Gate of the Han Wangfu for Ping'an, and the last general went to cut off his head and presented it to ......"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned at first, and then gave a thumbs up in surprise: "Such a person can also be found by you, admire and admire." ”

Yao Fang continued: "The other is the list of traitors and spies in the Han Palace. ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait to ask, "Who are they?" ”

Yao Fang said: "Long history Li Mo, guard the general flag Chen Gang, and the rest of the army is green." ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold back for a while, laughed "ha", and said, "Dao Yan is already about to taste failure. ”

……

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace, met Yao Fengji alone, and ordered him to find a place to hide himself in Dongshan, Yuezhou (Ping'an); Because Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was too dangerous to stay in Kunming City safely, and it was not a long-term way.

Yao Fengji agreed, saying that there was a prey in the dense forest on his territory and had just moved away; It is okay to ask the person who is hiding to pretend to be an Orion, and he does not have to interact with people.

Back in the harem, Zhu Gaoxu went to see Yao Ji again.

She sat a little lonely in front of the window, and did not come to salute, but just stayed there in a daze.

Zhu Gaoxu found a stool by himself and sat in front of the window. He followed her gaze and saw that there was only an inconspicuous peach tree over there, and there was really nothing to see.

Yao Ji's voice said: "I finally found my father, but I don't know why, and now it's not the same as I thought before...... But I'm very grateful to the prince, thank you very much. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened silently.

After a while, she muttered again, "I thought that when I found my father, everything would change; I will have a loved one who will take care of me and will think of me in everything...... But my father and brother don't seem to care about me. ”

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu say, "You can't blame them too much. Family affection is more than blood relationship, you haven't been with your family since you were a child, and it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar when you meet suddenly. ”

Yao Ji finally took her eyes off the inexplicable peach tree at that moment, turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Lord Wang, it took you so much effort to find my father." I can't help you when I say these words of loss now. ”

"Nope. You don't have to think so. Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, "To be honest, I have my own considerations for Yao Fengji; And you want to find Ling Zun so much, I also want to help you find it, I want to see you happy. ”

"Lord Wang......" Yao Ji's eyes suddenly widened, and her gaze lingered on Zhu Gaoxu's face.

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "We tend to expect too much from everything. Why didn't Yao Ji think differently? Now that you have a father who is a military general, at least not as unidentified as you used to be. That's a good thing. ”

Yao Ji listened, and some incomprehensible smiles gradually appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
