Zhao Gou was confused by this holy decree, he really couldn't understand what his father thought. If the decree is true, then there are only two paths in front of him, one is to go to the competition for the crown prince, and the other is to leave the capital and go to Yanjing.

Since there is constant trouble in staying, it is better to go quietly. At present, Zhao Gou really didn't think about competing for the throne, the timing was not right, and he didn't have that idea. It doesn't matter who is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as that person treats the people of Li well and is the Ming monarch.

However, is the emperor really willing to let him go?

This is not only Zhao Gou who doesn't know, but even others don't know. Only after Zhao Gou re-enters the court can we know the final result. As long as Zhao Gou was awarded the title of King of Yan, whether to leave the capital or stay in the next step was decided by a holy decree.

In the end, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Yougong also left Zhao's Mansion and returned to his Chu Palace. The moment he stepped through the door, he realized that something was wrong. Then, after entering the mansion, he went directly into the study, opened the bookshelf, and opened another door.

"Father!"

When Zhao Yougong entered the secret room, he saw his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At this moment, when he saw Zhao Xiang, he found that Zhao Xiang was a little different, just because Zhao Xiang's face was a little yellow, and there were many bloodshots in his eyes, and he knew that he was not sleeping enough.

Zhao Ru nodded in response to Zhao Yougong's greetings, and Zhao Yougong bluntly expressed the doubts in his heart, "Father, where have you been these days?" ”

"I'm out on a trip, I have something important to do!" Zhao didn't seem to answer directly, he raised his head, glanced at Zhao Yougong, and said lightly: "What you want to ask is why the emperor suddenly added the status of the little ninth prince, and why did he depose his title in front of many courtiers before, and remove him from all official positions and positions?" ”

Zhao Yougong did not deny it, his eyes widened and waited for his father's answer. Since the last incident, Zhao seems to have not shown up for a long time, which makes Zhao Yougong a little suspicious. No matter what method Zhao Yougong used, he couldn't find it, and the only possibility was that he was not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Well, I'll tell you all about it!" Zhao Ru sighed, "You should have traced my whereabouts, but you don't know where I am, in fact, I have been in the palace all along, and I have never shown up." Because there are some things that I don't want to do, it's all for the sake of the big picture. ”

"Now that Xiao Jiu is married, the time is ripe, what I want to say next, you must keep it strictly confidential, not allowed to mention it to anyone, and not allow half of it to be revealed. Because this matter involves a lot of things, and it is by no means a single person can solve it. ”

Zhao Yougong nodded solemnly, he rarely saw his father so serious, it can be seen that this matter is not trivial. So, Zhao Yougong told Zhao Yougong all the ins and outs of the matter, and Zhao Yougong was dumbfounded and speechless after hearing it.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Yougong asked, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

"There is no other way!" Zhao replied succinctly.

"No wonder it's like this...... No wonder! ......" Zhao Yougong suddenly realized, he finally understood everything, but he really denied this method in his heart, and Zhao seemed to be able to see that kind of look, but he knew Zhao Yougong too well, as long as he agreed, he would never interfere, because this was the emperor's will, and it was for the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yougong only understood why Zhao Gou was suddenly crowned king, and why he was deprived of everything, just because the person behind this matter is the son of today, and he is Zhao Gou's father, and his own father is also involved, he knows this secret, that is to say, he must also join it, and must not have any personal feelings.

"Now that you know everything, you should know what to do next!"

Zhao Yougong nodded bitterly, he knew, but regretted it, this was not the answer he wanted, but he had to accept it.

"It's unfair to the ninth brother, and it's also unfair to the people, why did the emperor do this? If an accident does happen, how can it be resolved? What does the emperor think, how to use such a method, isn't this just ......"

Zhao Yougong wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao seemed to sigh, "Although there will be such a situation in the short term, in the long run, it is reasonable and the best solution." Now I give it to you, and you must keep it safe, and you must not leak anything. ”

"If you don't finish it well, then you will live up to my expectations and the emperor's expectations, and the future of the Great Song Dynasty will be handed over to you!"

"I'm afraid I can't afford it!" Zhao Yougong cried with a sad face, and said helplessly: "If it's someone else's business, I don't have anything, but this matter is too involved, and too many people are involved. ”

"If it's fate, there's nothing to be done!" Zhao seemed unwilling to implement such a plan, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it and could only appease it.

Zhao Yougong first got a glimpse of the secret, and his heart was also up and down, and it was difficult to stay calm. If he really follows the path envisioned by the emperor, as long as everything goes well, then he is really relieved to be in the Great Song Dynasty. The current emperor is like a gambler, giving it a go, desperate.

Zhao Yougong took the things handed over by his father, and then Zhao seemed to say a few words, and then got up and left. Because he had more important things to do, he left Zhao Yougong alone. Zhao Yougong looked at the things in his hands that weighed only one or two pounds, if it was really made public, I was afraid that the world would be in chaos.

At this time, Zhao Yougong felt that the thing in his hand was like a hot potato, and it was not clear who he put it in. Now he has guessed the result of Zhao Gou, but he can't leak half a point, if it does, it will be really dangerous.

"What should I do? ……”

Zhao Yougong dragged the thing in his hand stubbornly, he really felt that this thing was not much better than there. Without it, you don't have to worry about anything, and some things can happen without it. It's just that with it, he needs to take on greater responsibility, and he himself has no confidence.

The bridge to the bow of the boat is naturally straight!

Zhao Yougong thought for a moment, but he could only agree, and then carefully put the thing away. Because this thing is related to the society of the Great Song Dynasty, and to the safety of the lives of the people of the world. However, Zhao Yougong was powerless to refute, this is the responsibility he should bear, just like Zhao.

Zhao seemed to tell Zhao Yougong all the truth, which made his heart heavy and made him feel breathless. used to be Zhao Yougong alone, but now there is Zhao Yougong. Sometimes the truth is not what you like, and it is not necessarily the way you think, and you end up disappointed and even a little afraid.

At this moment, Zhao Ru's heart is like this, this hot potato is thrown to him, that is, the entire Great Song Dynasty is pinned on Zhao Yougong. Zhao Yougong really felt that it was okay not to know the truth, but knowing it would affect his mood and even more affect his judgment.
