Chapter 320: The Mud Bodhisattva crosses the river and is difficult to protect himself
Zhao seemed to be sad when he said that his eyes were already moist, and tears slipped down quietly, crying silently. Since Song Qing's death, Zhao seems to have never mentioned her in front of anyone, and even Zhao Ji is tacitly reluctant to mention it, just because Zhao seems to have never forgotten Song Qing until now, and it can be imagined that he is very affectionate.
At this time, all that appeared in Zhao Ru's mind was Song Qing's loving and happy smile, no matter how tired he was, as long as he saw Song Qing, he was in good spirits. Zhao seems to have deep affection for Song Qing, and Zhao Yougong knows it. When he was young and ignorant, Zhao Yougong once asked about his mother, and Zhao's sad eyes remained in Zhao Yougong's heart and he never forgot it for a long time.
As a result, the entire palace kept silent about Song Qing's affairs, even if Zhao Yougong was a prince, there was still no way to know about his mother. In addition, after Song Qing's death, Zhao seemed to dismiss the maids and let them return to their hometowns with enough entanglements, and since then there have been no more women in the palace.
After Song Qing's death, Zhao seemed to be depressed, drunk every day, even if Zhao Yougong cried, he didn't pay attention, and finally Zhao Ji came out of the palace late at night to reprimand Zhao Xiang, so that he buried his thoughts in his heart, and what was shown in front of people again was the Zhao who was Xuan Yu and stood up to the sky.
"Thirteenth brother, what about your ambition?" Zhao Ji scolded with hatred, "No one wants the death of the princess, but she left an heir, have you forgotten what she said to you before she died?" In my opinion, the princess is happy, her wish has been fulfilled, and she walks peacefully without any pain! ”
"What do you look like now? Are you still the same King Cai who stands up to the sky? Is it still the thirteenth brother I know? Borrowing wine all day long to drown your sorrows, don't you know what to do with this? Do you want him to be lonely since he was a child? ”
"Mother is gone, if you, the father, are also gone, and your will is depressed, how can you teach Gong'er to grow up? If you really don't care, Gong'er will follow me into the palace, directly make me the prince, and I will take care of it, but I didn't do this, I don't want you to have no face to meet your brother and sister after returning in the next hundred years. ”
"Are you depressed all day long, are you still the Zhao she loves so much? If you want her to know and see her in the future, then cheer me up, don't forget that she wants you to take good care of Gong'er, if there is any mistake, how should you explain? That's all I say, you can do it yourself! ”
Zhao Ji turned around and left, Zhao seemed not to be really drunk, but he didn't want to admit it, looking at the back of the imperial brother leaving, Zhao Ji's tears flowed, he didn't know how many times he had flowed, but there were more tears in the past two years than he had for more than 20 years.
Zhao seemed to walk quietly to Zhao Yougong's room, looked at the sleeping child, as if he had made up his mind, and turned around and left without saying anything.
The next day, Zhao seemed to wake up very early, and went directly to the palace to participate in the court meeting, everyone was stunned, Zhao Zhao, who had not been to the court for a long time, appeared in front of people again, and looked much more mature, no longer as moody as before, completely restrained; Originally, King Cai's Zhao seemed to have made meritorious contributions repeatedly, and Zhao Ji was renamed the King of Chu!
"Father, didn't Mother know what you did?" Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Ji puzzled, "Why is this?" ”
Zhao Ji sighed: "Your mother's personality is not as calm as water on the surface, and she will unswervingly do what she really recognizes." Over the years, because of you, she and I have been respectful of each other, or from the beginning, only more coldly! ”
"Back then, you decided to abandon Wen Congwu and quietly leave the palace, for the sake of others' suspicions, and also to appease your mother's heart, I passed a decree to seal this palace, and no one was allowed to approach, but your mother came to visit three or four times, if it wasn't for your thirteenth uncle to find out and stop it in time, I'm afraid that your mother really dares to break in."
"It's just that your thirteenth uncle can't show up, and some things can only alarm the guards, and your mother no longer comes secretly when she sees that the guards are tight, but she is not willing to bow her head softly in front of me. You should know what happened after that, that is, when your mother was seriously ill, your uncle Wang happened to go to observe, and happened to find it in time, but I am afraid that some things are really irreparable, if it weren't for this, I would have revealed some news to make her feel at ease, otherwise she would not want to see me at all. ”
Zhao Ji sighed helplessly, Wei's temperament really made him unbearable, but after all, she was his favorite concubine, and outsiders didn't know that she was Zhao Gou's biological mother. Under the love house and Wu, Zhao Ji couldn't help her, so he let her go.
Zhao Gou never knew that his father was so affectionate to his mother, and he knew that the history recorded that his mother was completely dependent on Qiao Guifei to be favored. Now it seems that what is recorded in history is not the truth, and some things still need to be verified by oneself.
After all, history is written by the victors!
"Now that you know the truth of the matter, then the next step is my will!" Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong intently, making them have a bad premonition. Sure enough, Zhao Ji said solemnly: "Gou'er, your mother should have mentioned it to you, and she must know that this matter is what I meant, don't talk about your affairs for the time being, the most important thing is to have Gong." ”
Zhao Yougong stiffened his head and replied embarrassedly: "I'...... What's wrong with me? ”
"Chu King Zhao Yougong accepts the order!" Zhao Ji shouted coldly, Zhao Yougong hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, "Spread my will: Zhao Yougong, the king of Chu, is not young, and he has long passed the marriageable age, for the sake of the ancestors of the Zhao family, I order you to get married this year." ”
"Minister...... Commandment! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Zhao Yougong couldn't accept the holy decree with tears and laughter, he really didn't expect the emperor to make such a move, which made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, he was really helpless, and he had to find a way to get married.
The corners of Zhao Gou's mouth twitched, he looked at his father in surprise, and secretly thought: "My father is really ruthless, as expected!" The father must have known that his brother would find a way to shirk it, so he made a holy decree, even if he repented of it, it would be useless! ”
At the same time, Zhao Gou glanced at Zhao Qi again, and saw that he was gloating and watching, as if he had nothing to do with himself, and even wished that Zhao seemed to get married immediately, he couldn't help but tremble, and silently prayed for Zhao Yi: "Brother, I can't do anything about this matter, I can only rely on yourself!" ”
After all, Zhao seems to be followed by himself, Zhao Gou is mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect, how can he have kung fu to help, so he has to let Zhao seem to ask for more blessings. Before Zhao Ji could speak, Zhao Gou took the lead and hurriedly said: "Father, the child doesn't need to make an order, my mother has already told me, if I can't find her, I can't see her, the child will definitely go all out and never live up to the expectations of his father and mother!" ”
Zhao Ji originally wanted to give Zhao Gou a will, but it was a little different from Zhao. After all, Zhao Gou still has two years to go before the crowning ceremony, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. Before his words came out, he heard Zhao Gou's sworn voice, turned his head and saw Zhao Gou's unwavering eyes, even if he knew that Zhao Gou was seeing the move, Zhao Ji couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and agree.
