Chapter 260: Father and Son Talk
After Zhao Gou said a few words, he left in a hurry, leaving Zhao Qi and Zhao Yougong, the father and son, the two of them stared at each other, but they couldn't say anything in their hearts. After all, it is not good for anyone to have such a thing happening, especially Zhao Yougong who always thought that his father was dead, but he didn't want this to be a situation at all, the two were only silent, and even the air seemed a little depressed.
"Gong'er, it's my father's fault all these years, and you've suffered a lot!"
Zhao seemed to be the first to speak out, and said the words that he had not seen for a long time, he had always felt that he owed Zhao Yougong a lot, since his mother's death, and he was dedicated to the court, he never gave him too much care, but he didn't want Zhao Yougong to take it to heart at all, but respected him very much, which made his heart ripple, tears in his eyes, really uncomfortable.
Zhao Yougong saw his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years, admit his mistake to himself, and his tone was full of guilt, which made him feel uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to say. The hardships in his heart have always been borne silently by himself, in order to prevent the Chu Palace's decay, he had to shoulder the burden, and finally embarked on the road of no return because of people's blindness; In addition, Zhao Yougong felt that his father's treatment was unfair, he didn't really want to usurp the throne, not to mention that Zhao Ji was his uncle, even he didn't believe that he would kill Zhao Ji ruthlessly, just wanted to ask for an explanation and give his father justice.
Zhao Ji's love for him is far greater than that of Zhao Yi's father, after Zhao Ji's death, Zhao Ji summoned him to the palace or came to the house in person as long as he had time, and talked to him about national affairs, in order to distract him, not to indulge in pain, everything Zhao Ji did Zhao Yougong remembered.
After that, Zhao Ji became a mediocre and incompetent talent alienated; When he saw the emperor again today, Zhao Yougong found that he was wrong, the emperor has always been very shrewd, but there are some things that he is unwilling to show and restrain his edge, and Zhao Gou, a cousin, let him understand that everything he does is under the control of the emperor.
At the beginning, Zhao Yougong apologized for his crimes, firstly, because he didn't want his father to have too much trouble with the emperor, and let his father take out the 'gold medal for avoiding death' to save him, he knew that his father's love for him was silent, he never showed anything, and he still stood up in times of crisis.
In addition, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong took care of him and cared for him, these Zhao Yougong kept in mind, so he didn't want Zhao Ji to be embarrassed, but he only died, but he didn't want to be stopped by Zhao Go. At that moment, Zhao Yougong realized that he was really blinded by hatred, ignoring Song Huizong Zhao Ji's love for him, but believing in things on the surface, which made him faceless to meet everyone.
"Father, you're right, it's wrong that your sons and daughters don't know people clearly!" Zhao Yougong lowered his head in shame, he really realized that he was wrong.
Zhao didn't seem to comfort Zhao Yougong out of the voice, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and asked puzzledly: "Gong'er, you mentioned before that after I faked my death, someone sent someone to assassinate me, and someone dug my grave, what is going on with this matter?" How can you think it's the royal brother's doing? ”
Zhao Yougong recalled: "It was a month after my father was buried in a fake death, a group of black-clothed people attacked the palace of the king of Chu at night, and at that time they did not kill the family members and slaves in the palace, but attacked me. At the time, I didn't think much of it, so I fought them. ”
"Judging from their martial arts, it was a move taught by the forbidden army, and in the end, several forbidden army tokens were dropped from the bodies of several of them, and then those people were indeed found after tracking. Looking back now, I realize that the assassination was very strange! ”
"Strange?" Zhao seemed to signal him to continue.
"Originally, they sent twelve men to attack me, but I defeated several of them, and in the end they were exhausted, and they were about to be killed, but they did not attack me, but retreated. At the time, I didn't think it was a conspiracy; Looking back now, I'm afraid that those people deliberately left tokens, so that I could mistakenly think that the emperor did it. ”
Zhao Yougong frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "After that, I will arrange more manpower in the palace to prevent accidents from happening again." Strange to say, after that incident, there were occasionally people sneaking around the palace, but they were not assassinated again; Then, when I was supposed to worship, I found another group of men in black on the road, and there was a fight with them, and they were about to dig their graves, and found the Forbidden Army token from their bodies. ”
"I'm afraid it's also a ploy, at that time my heart was full of anger, where did I think so much, and finally the two of them kept talking in my ear, and also mentioned what happened when my father and the emperor fought for the throne, they were old, and they had never seen them before, and then I found them, and I heard them say that they were under the command of my father before, and I believed what they said without tracking, and then the two of them kept talking about the previous things in my ear, which was nothing more than sowing discord!"
Zhao seemed to recall that those two were the former protectors of the Ming Sect, and then they were killed by Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong, and said in surprise: "Then when did you know their identities?" ”
Zhao Yougong smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is thanks to Zhao Gou's help, otherwise I wouldn't know that their identities are suspicious!" ”
"What does this have to do with Gou'er?" Zhao seemed to be even more incomprehensible, and looked at Zhao Yougong curiously.
Zhao Yougong replied: "Actually, Lao Jiu led a large army to conquer Fang La and won the victory; Later, when Fang La was escorted into Beijing, I was also in the crowd, but I found that there was something wrong with the eyes of the two of them, and I always felt weird. ”
"You just followed the vine and traced it, only to find out that what the two of them said before was a fictitious thing!" It was only at this time that Zhao seemed to understand the general situation of the matter.
Zhao Yougong nodded and said, "Yes, it's also a coincidence to talk about this matter!" If it weren't for Fang La's escort to Beijing, and their strange behavior, I wouldn't have been able to find out the truth of the matter, and finally traced them down to find out that their identities were very suspicious. ”
"It's just that at that time, I didn't know that they were the remnants of the Ming Sect, and I thought they were thieves who colluded with Fang La, and finally found that they quietly met with another person, who called him the Dharma Protector, and I realized that they were people from the Ming Sect, and I knew that they had bad intentions."
However, at that time, Lao Jiu had already begun to track down the affairs of the year, and he had no extra energy to deal with them, and some things still needed to rely on the ability of the two of them, so he had not been investigated; It wasn't until this happened that I remembered all the things that happened before, it should be that they were behind it! ”
Zhao seemed to hang his head thoughtfully, bowed his head silently, and thought about everything carefully, the matter of his fight for the throne with the imperial brother, as long as anyone knows about it, at that time, they were on the same surface on the surface, but in fact the relationship was very good, not many people knew, and some things could be known by tracing carefully, so the two of them mentioned some living habits and opinions, but I was afraid that Fang Zheng had a knee-to-knee conversation with him, so Zhao Yougong misunderstood that there was such a scene, and the final rebellion was also a last resort. Things have come to this point and there is no turning back, so Zhao Yougong will continue to make mistakes regardless of it.
"You're so confused!" After Zhao seemed to associate the ins and outs of the matter, he found that there were many loopholes, which were ignored by Zhao Yougong, and he blamed him heavily, but Zhao Yougong did not refute it, the matter was indeed done by him, and some links were not carefully considered before making a big mistake.
"During the years that I was away, you can just think about the attitude of the imperial brother towards you, and the things you did when you were a child, you are really confused, and you actually made such a big mistake. If it weren't for the benevolence of the royal brother, and there was a structure in the middle of the intercession, I was afraid that this time I would really be in a different place! ”
Zhao seems to hate the iron and scolding, since he was a child, Zhao Yougong has shown a unique maturity and stability, and he is actually confused, which makes him very heartbroken, and suddenly remembered that he mentioned another person before, frowned and asked: "You mentioned before that the two of them have seen another person, do you know the identity of this person?" ”
Zhao Yougong thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "At that time, I just thought that the two of them should not destroy the plan, and I didn't track that person, let alone track down, if I really acted, I am afraid that things will not go so smoothly, but the only person who is sure is a woman, although I have not seen her face, but I heard her voice, this is certain!" ”
"Woman?" Zhao Ru lowered his head and muttered to himself, his face showed a solemn expression, he felt that the matter of Mingjiao was not over yet, but he was afraid that there would be more storms waiting for them in the future, but he couldn't grasp the point, which made him have to think about it carefully.
