Chapter 133: Zhao Yu's Worries
Footsteps sounded, and Zhao Yu walked into the lobby and saw a hint of surprise flashing in Zhao Wuming's eyes: "Fourth brother, when did you come back?" Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Big brother". Zhao Wuming turned around and saw Zhao Yu, revealing a hint of surprise, and then came to his senses: "I arrived in Xindu at noon today, and it was a coincidence that I met my nephew just outside Xindu."
"Did you see Yong'er at noon today?" Zhao Yu's tone was full of doubt, and then he looked at Zhao Yong.
At this time, Han Yudie and others reacted, stood up from their seats, and saluted Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yong heard Zhao Yu's question, and smiled embarrassedly: "Today, the child skipped school and went on a safari, and I happened to meet my uncle."
"So you know you're sorry? For the sake of your uncle's face today, I will not bother with you about this matter for the time being." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wuming, and his tone was a little hurried: "You should have seen Xue Duwei."
"Not long after I met my nephew, I met Xue Duwei. In the afternoon, I chatted for a while in Xue Duwei's mansion, and then returned to the mansion to find my eldest brother. But I don't want my eldest brother to be in the house." Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, and just wanted to speak. saw Han Yudie looking at him: "The fourth prince is the first time in more than ten years to come to our house. The concubine wanted to take Yong'er and them down, and ordered her subordinates to prepare some wine and food."
"It's okay too". Zhao Yu knew that she didn't want to know too much about government affairs, so he immediately motioned for her to leave.
Han Yudie bowed to Zhao Yu and Zhao Wuming, turned around and walked outside with Zhao Yong, Xue Zimo and others.
As the people gradually left, the lobby was quiet. Zhao Yu walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at Zhao Wuming: "They left, and our conversation was a little clearer."
"Looking at Yong'er, the eldest brother has a successor, which makes the younger brother envious." Zhao Wuming thought of Zhao Yong and sighed at Zhao Yu.
Hearing Zhao Wuming mention Zhao Yong, Zhao Yu seemed to remember something, and his lips moved. After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "Actually, if the fourth brother hadn't made a big fuss about the ancestor worship ceremony, he would have the Anyang fief in his hands. It is estimated that the Yuyang Yun clan of Yanguo has already married Yan'er's sister to you. Your children can also go to school and play with Yong'er and Zimo."
"Yan'er?". Zhao Wuming didn't want to say more on this topic, so he immediately changed the topic: "It's all from the past, and it's useless to talk about it at this time." I went back to my home today to see Fan Shun and Gao Zhao and listen to what they said. Qingque is in Anyang, as if he has discovered something, and seems to be in trouble."
"Could it be that there is an abnormality in Anyang? It seems that this is the time when it is indeed an eventful time." Zhao Yu's heart couldn't help but sink gradually, and his father's health deteriorated. The dark tide in Xindu City has long been surging, and at this time, if Anyang is moving again, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of swords.
Zhao Wuming's expression gradually became solemn, thinking of Qingque: "It has not yet been fully confirmed what happened in Anyang, before coming to find the eldest brother." I ordered Fan Shun to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to investigate tomorrow."
"Don't, lest you startle the snake." As soon as Zhao Yu's words came out, a trace of doubt rose in his heart, and he immediately asked: "No, the soldiers and horses from where you came." If you use favors, transfer the Handan defenders. The slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe for us and others."
"Big brother, rest assured, the soldiers and horses in my hands are not the defenders of Handan." Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu seemed to think of something, and was shocked: "Didn't you return the three thousand soldiers and horses?" If this is discovered by my father, I am afraid it will lead to trouble."
"It's not the soldiers of those remote princes, the eldest brother is relieved of the soldiers and horses in the hands of the younger brother. Where exactly is the Tun gathered, King Zhao will never be able to find out." Zhao Wuming assured Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu looked directly at Zhao Wuming and continued to ask: "How many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands?"
"Not less than 10,000, if they attack the forbidden army, I don't dare to say that one is ten. But it is indeed easy to take one as three." Zhao Wuming hesitated a little in his heart, and then said less about the 20,000 pro-guards.
Zhao Yu didn't ask too many questions, so he could only persuade him: "Ten thousand soldiers and horses, how can such a big target letter be unaware." Fourth brother, do you know that gathering troops without permission is a capital crime, and once it is discovered by Zhao Wei and others, I am afraid that your life will be lost."
"At the beginning, outside Handan City, Zhao Wei and others complained to the king. If it weren't for Wei's surprise attack on Handan, I'm afraid I would have become a dry bone in the grave at this time." Zhao Wuming mentioned this matter, although it seemed to be very plain, but it was difficult to hide the anger in it.
Zhao Yu was not good at speaking, and the hall was silent, slightly depressed: "I was in the palace at the beginning, but Zhao Yan and Zhao Fan joined forces to add the eunuch order." I can only watch you being put in prison by your father. That night, Gu went to the palace to inform the queen mother about this, and the queen mother just sighed. But I didn't expect the Wei State to raid Handan, and you gathered the rout army to turn the tide, so you were spared."
"So this time the place where I can't camp my troops is extremely secret, even if Zhao Wei digs three feet into the ground in Xindu, he can't even think of finding out where the soldiers and horses are. If he doesn't move, he will be able to give him a thunderous blow." Zhao Wuming mentioned the word Zhao Wei, and his tone was mixed with a hint of anger. Obviously, King Zhao led the forbidden army to surround Handan City.
Zhao Yu smiled dumbly, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Anyang, if there is any change. What can 10,000 soldiers and horses do? What a big risk, why is it difficult to gather troops privately. Thinking of this, he immediately diverted the topic: "The fourth brother knows that a year ago, the Daijun Taishou told the elder, and his father appointed the third brother Zhao Fan as the Daijun Taishou. There are 300,000 soldiers and horses on behalf of the county, and the nobles of the county can gather 100,000 private soldiers. The north defends Lou annoyance, and the south rejects Zhongshan, which is high and powerful. and Zhao Yan, one inside and one outside, echoed each other from afar, making the position of the prince almost crumbling under the power of the two."
"I heard Xue Duwei talk about it today." Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, looked at Zhao Yu and thought of the killing intent in Zhao Fan's eyes and the thrilling scene when he was on the safari that day, and couldn't help but ask: "Big brother has a question, I don't know if to ask."
"You brothers, what can't you ask?" Zhao Yu asked rhetorically at Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming's lips moved, and he asked Zhao Yu for a while: "Zhao Yu took away my fiefdom, so he has murderous intent towards me, I can understand this." But why is Zhao Fan's killing intent better against me? I don't have much of a grudge against him."
"Fourth brother, are you sure you have no grudge against him?". Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming meaningfully, not knowing if he really forgot or deliberately didn't know.
Zhao Wuming thought for a long time, and then shook his head: "Please also tell the eldest brother."
"You and Zhao Fan only have one grudge, but you have two with Zhao Fan. I only know one of them, and if there is any chance of the other, you can ask the father or the queen mother." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he lightly highlighted two words: "Yun Yan".
"Yan'er?". Zhao Wuming's brows gradually furrowed, and he didn't understand why there was no reflection of such a thing in his mind.
Zhao Yu's train of thought seemed to have returned to the past: "Yun Yan sent her family to my Handan for refuge, but for some reason she fell in love with you. At first, I didn't know anyone, until Zhao Fan expressed his admiration for Yun Yan and asked his father to propose to Yan'er's sister's parents. was forced by Yan'er's sister to die, so she gave up. Zhao Fan was suspicious in his heart and secretly investigated Yan'er's sister, which made the relationship between you and her known to us. I heard that Zhao Fan is worried about this matter and wants to put you to death as soon as possible. However, Lone guessed that this incident may only be the superficial reason. As for the real reason, it should be the second thing. It's a pity that Gu was young at the beginning, and his father gave a gag order, so he couldn't remember."
"Young? Can it still involve the grievances of the previous generation? “。 Zhao Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and asked in disbelief. Such a bloody thing, I didn't expect it to happen to me.
Zhao Yu nodded slowly, looking at Zhao Wuming and admonishing him: "You don't need to investigate this matter, unless the king speaks." Otherwise, even someone who knows will not say half a word to you."
"That's it, just follow the fate. I will know when I should know, why force when I shouldn't. I heard that King Zhao was seriously ill, but I don't know how sick he was." Zhao Wuming knew that there was no result in asking, so he thought of King Zhao's body and immediately asked.
Zhao Yu listened to King Zhao's two words, and showed a wry smile: "My father is seriously ill, and the imperial doctor has words." If the father can recuperate in peace, he can last for five years, if he still works as hard as usual, he can only last for two years, and if his mood swings are too great, he may die at any time. When the fourth brother arrives at this time, don't you still refuse to call him father? “。
Zhao Wuming was silent, not knowing how to answer Zhao Yu for a while.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu then persuaded: "No matter what, he is your father, even if you don't call him your father, it is better to call him the king than King Zhao."
"Listen to the words of the eldest brother and call him the king in the future." Zhao Wuming thought about it, after all, King Zhao was very old, and he was a blood relative. No matter how much you complain about him, it's better to put those grievances aside for the time being when he is seriously ill.
Zhao Yu saw that Zhao Wuming's attitude was loose, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Father will be overjoyed when he knows."
"Big brother, it's not that you don't know the character of the king, even if he does, he may not have a little sense of joy." Zhao Wuming shook his head, he didn't have any hope for King Zhao.
Zhao Yu was silent, and at this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Huang Hao walked in and saluted respectfully to Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu: "Prince Qiqi, the fourth prince, someone in the palace is coming." King Yan said that the envoys of Wei were about to enter the palace, and the prince was summoned to go immediately, and if the fourth prince was in the prince's mansion, he could go together."
"The envoy of Wei has arrived?". Zhao Yu was a little surprised, he didn't receive the news when he just left the palace.
Zhao Wuming thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Yu: "Big brother doesn't know, when I came here today, I happened to meet Shen Tuxiu with the forbidden army. In the name of escorting the envoys of the Wei State, he drove pedestrians to block the way for his nephew to return home. If it weren't for Huang Hao's timely arrival and delay for a while, I'm afraid that Shen Tuxiu would have tied up my nephew to your mansion to ask for guilt."
"Boldly apply for Tu Xiu, and dare to bully Gu like this. It seems that this person has made up his mind to completely take refuge in my good second brother." Zhao Yu was furious after hearing this.
Huang Hao saw that Zhao Yu was angry, and his lips moved, but he still couldn't help but not speak.
Zhao Yu was still angry, stood up directly from his seat, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "Fourth brother, I will enter the palace together, and we will see how he Shen Tuxiu explains this matter in front of his father."
"The eldest brother has a life, and the younger brother should accompany him." Zhao Wuming also stood up from his seat and followed Zhao Yu outside.
