"Mother!"

When Gao Zhong came back, the old lady had not rested, and she didn't see her son come back, so how could she sleep. Therefore, it has been waiting. Until Gao Chong came to say goodbye, her cloudy eyes lit up with a light, just because Gao Chong was still wearing a battle armor, and the whole person looked even more heroic.

"Is something wrong with Your Highness?" The old lady ignored the government, but she was not old and confused, and she couldn't see anything.

When Zhao Gou came back, she noticed that something was wrong, especially the eyes of Steward Wang and the others were full of worry. The old lady was waiting for Gao Zhong here, firstly looking forward to her son's return, and secondly, she also wanted to ask what happened to Zhao Gou.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Gao Zhong was stunned, he didn't expect his mother to ask about this, and he didn't answer truthfully, so as not to worry his mother, so he lied.

How smart the old lady was, she knew the temperament of Gao Pet, and she categorically wouldn't lie, so she didn't delve into what it was. However, she still solemnly admonished: "I don't care what others think, but you must follow His Highness's side, you know?" ”

"Mother, the child knows!" Gao Zhong nodded solemnly.

The old lady continued, "Although I don't know what happened, I believe that with His Highness's ability, he will be able to save the day. Even for ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with that. However, you have to remember not to betray and just keep this agreement. ”

"If it weren't for Your Highness, there would be no good life for our mother and son today. If you choose to leave at this time, then you will no longer be my son, nor will you be a descendant of the Gao family. There will never be any ungrateful people in the Gao family, do you understand? ”

"The child understands!" Gao Zhong nodded in agreement, and then sent the old lady back to her room to rest.

When Gao Pet withdrew, he did not return to the room immediately, but came to Zhao Gou's residence. If it weren't for his mother's obstacle, he would have come here with his own intention. Because he had important news to convey to Zhao Gou, he didn't care if Zhao Gou was resting.

Gao Chong saw that the light in Zhao Gou's room was on, and he knew that he had not rested, and was about to knock on the door, when Zhao Gou's voice came from the room: "Come in!" ”

"Young master!" Gao Zhong shouted respectfully.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Father asked you to come to deliver the decree?" ”

"Yes!" Gao Zhong was stunned, he came back in a hurry to convey Song Huizong's will, and his meaning was also very clear, that is, he didn't want Zhao Gou to really live on the streets and have no houses to live in, and said that they would continue to stay in this mansion.

This was conveyed by the eunuchs of Song Huizong after the celebration banquet. Because Song Huizong knew that if he didn't say it, Zhao Gou's temperament would definitely really move out of this place, which would really backfire. Therefore, Song Huizong asked him to hurry back to the house, and be sure to bring the words.

Zhao Gou nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Young master, why don't you want to fight for it?" The more Gao Pet looked at it, the more he didn't understand, he always had a doubt in his heart, if it wasn't solved, it would really be difficult to sleep.

Zhao Gou smiled: "You really want to know? ”

"It's not just General Gao who wants to know, I want to know too!" As soon as Zhao Gou's words fell, he saw that the door was vigorously pushed open, and what caught his eye was Zhao Yougong's angry face, and this sentence was also said by him. Because he also wanted to know what Zhao Gou's plans were, he could have fought for it, but let it develop naturally, and finally ended up like this, which really made him angry.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Gao Zhong stood up respectfully.

"Lao Jiu, what do you think?" Zhao Yougong didn't care about Gao Gou, he stepped forward angrily, sat directly opposite Zhao Gou, and Steward Wang and others also followed, they looked at Zhao Yougong with tears and laughter, and were about to explain, but they were motioned by Zhao Gou to go down, and they were not allowed to know.

Steward Wang and the others were about to rest, when they heard someone quietly entering the mansion, which made them all cheer up and immediately went to check. Unexpectedly, seeing Zhao Yougong's angry face, everyone guessed in their hearts, but no one asked, and Steward Wang and others stopped him, but they didn't stop him.

Steward Wang and the others were a little surprised when they saw that Zhao Gou was not resting at all, and Gao Zhong was also in the room. However, Zhao Gou motioned for them to go out and strengthen their defense. Therefore, they didn't care about anything else, and just turned away, leaving the rest of the time to them.

"Lao Jiu, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Yougong didn't dare to appear blatantly here, so he could only sneak in. However, he also returned to the Chu Palace, but he didn't see his father, and he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

Zhao Gou smiled: "Second brother, do you really think that if you fight for it in the court, you will be safe and sound?" ”

Zhao Yougong was silent, recalling the scene at that time, even if Zhao Gou fought for it, there would be no change.

"I'm sure you've already guessed it!" Zhao Gou said, "At that time, even if I argued, it would be useless. Since it's useless, then what am I fighting for? Recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I am the boss, this feats are unparalleled, but it is also fearful. ”

"The outstanding military achievements seem to be supremely glorious, but they also hide infinite killing opportunities, and the slightest carelessness is a place of no return. It just so happened that I didn't know how to end it, so I took this opportunity to quit directly. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the faster you die, this is officialdom. ”

"Now that I'm a commoner, wouldn't it be happy!"

Zhao Yougong was shocked: "So, all this is your retreat?" ”

"So to speak!" Zhao Gou smiled, "Otherwise, how could I clash head-on with my father, this is just a retreat for me." Because I know that in terms of military exploits, and the favor of my father, everything will be fine, at most it will be deprived of the title, which is exactly the same as I thought. ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to retreat if you want to!" Zhao Yougong smiled bitterly, and Gao Zhong also smiled helplessly.

Zhao Gou was puzzled: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"You didn't say that?" Zhao Yougong glanced at Gao Zhong suspiciously, saw him shake his head, and then said: "Okay, then let me say it!" ”

So, Zhao Yougong told everything that happened at the celebration banquet.

It turned out that Song Huizong invited all of them to the banquet, and in addition to them, the crown prince Zhao Huan also participated. During the banquet, Song Huizong intentionally or unintentionally asked them to assist the prince more, and even asked the prince to toast one by one.

Song Huizong's meaning by doing this was nothing more than to tell them that the crown prince was the future prince, and let them assist them more. In addition, they were reluctant in their hearts, not to mention the generals who had been following Zhao Gou's side, and they were even more unwilling.

Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi and more than a dozen people didn't give the crown prince Zhao Huan face at all, and he ignored the toast. Only Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze, Song Jiang and others took care of Song Huizong's face and reluctantly returned the favor. However, they are also unwilling in their hearts, but they are helpless.

Because of this, this celebration feast was not happy. However, these people did offend the crown prince Zhao Huan and provoked him to hold a grudge. If such a thing hadn't happened, Zhao Yougong would have come late at night. Because after they left the palace, they went back to their homes, but Zhao Yougong knew that these people would definitely come tomorrow.

If this is the case, then Zhao Gou has no way to retreat. After all, he can only be a general in the DPRK and China as a common man, which will arouse the suspicion of others. At that time, it was really dangerous.

When Zhao Gou heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the result. thought that they would put down their military exploits and be willing to be a common man, just wanting to keep the reward they had won so hard. If they come in defiance of the holy decree, I am afraid that the reward will be followed by the same consequences as him, or even worse.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou frowned and fell silent.
