Chapter 315: Zhao Chen's strategy
There is no doubt that Emperor Liu Pei is unwilling to marry his daughter to this gentleman from the bottom of his heart, maybe others can't see it, thinking that the emperor is pretending to be considerate, but Zhao Wuji is keenly aware of the trace of hesitation and ... Abhor!
Zhao Wuji was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart, his son was the next head of the Zhao family, even if he had Zhao Chen on top of it now, but was the identity of the heir of the Zhao family not worthy of a mere seventh princess?
In Zhao Wuji's heart, his son is the best, and those rumors, even if there is conclusive evidence, are still considered slanderous by him.
Just because Zhao Yang behaved too well in front of him, and never disobeyed his will, as long as it was something he ordered, Zhao Yang did it beautifully every time, and when something spread outside because of something, and even someone came up with evidence to break into Zhao's house and send Zhao Yang high, Zhao Yang was slow to say a lot of reasons, in short, so he naturally believed in his son, and the outsiders' statements were judged by him to be slanderous.
In such a situation, anyone who dared to say that Zhao Yang was wrong was either expelled or secretly sent to kill by Zhao Yang, and some were killed by Zhao Yang's assassination mission.
Relying on the prestige of the ancestor Zhao Ji, the Zhao family can be said to be standing above the royal family, although Emperor Liu Pei knows everything Zhao Yang has done.
Once Liu Pei also vaguely mentioned it several times in front of Zhao Wuji, which probably means that he has received complaints from many people, saying that Zhao Yang of the Zhao family is tyrannical in Yanjing, bullying and dominating the market, which makes people angry, and wants Zhao Wuji to pay a little attention to it, maybe he can check it in person.
It's just that Zhao Wuji smiled and said that this is just a child's play, and they adults don't need to care, he believes that his men will not do such a thing, and in the end he will be forgotten like this.
After reminding him many times to no avail, Emperor Liu Pei gave up, and as long as Zhao Yang did not threaten the royal family, he would let it go.
"Emperor, is this very difficult for you?" Zhao Wuji asked in a deep voice, in front of everyone, he still has to give the emperor a face, the title of emperor is still indispensable, there are some things, everyone understands in their hearts, and if they say it, they will break the rules, which is absolutely unacceptable.
It is indeed difficult, and it is very difficult, if this Zhao Yang is a real gentleman, or a strong man, or even an ordinary person, he will nod without hesitation.
But as a father, a father who loves several children, he can't be ruthless, but he doesn't want to destroy the friendship between the Zhao family and the Liu family, let alone offend the family of the holy son Zhao Ji, the choice is difficult, and he can't make a decision for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yang had scolded countless times in his heart, but on the surface he was still respectful, he didn't want to show his feet in front of his father.
Just as he wanted to say something so that the emperor nodded and agreed, Liu Xiang over there had already noticed this, and heard the conversation between them with his own ears, his face suddenly changed, and her pale face made her look a little more poignant, and she barely thought about it, so she rushed over and said loudly: "I won't marry him!" Even if I marry a pig, I will not marry such a person! ”
After saying this, she realized that what she said was a bit excessive, after all, Zhao Yang is still a member of the Zhao family, and saying this in front of so many people will inevitably make the Zhao family unable to come to the stage.
"Bastard!" The emperor's face sank, and he was not angry, "How can you object to the words of your parents' order and concubine?" Besides, I haven't agreed yet, why are you in a hurry? ”
This scolding also faintly moved back a little face for the Zhao family, and then he continued to say to Zhao Wuji as if he was remedy: "Hehe, Brother Zhao, this child has been spoiled by me since he was a child, he is almost eighteen years old, and he doesn't speak through his brain, but she has no malicious intentions, I hope I don't keep it in my heart." ”
Zhao Wuji's face softened a little, but he was still a little uncomfortable, he turned his head to look at Liu Xiang, he was really a beauty, although he was still young, but he was very smart, and his temperament was noble and generous, he was indeed very suitable for being the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, he asked in a deep voice: "I want to know why you are so opposed, if you can give a reasonable reason, I can let Zhao Yang give up this marriage proposal." ”
"Daddy!" Zhao Yang was anxious, and couldn't help but shout anxiously.
"Shut up, you're listening." Zhao Wuji's face sank, and he immediately scolded Zhao Yang, and then continued to say to Liu Xiang: "Little girl, you can talk now. ”
Liu Xiang ignored Emperor Liu Pei's warning eyes at all, and said angrily: "Why? You can ask the people of the entire Changshan City, ask them what kind of person Zhao Yang is, marry such a person, I am afraid that I will be poked in the back by the people of the entire Yanjing. Uncle Zhao, you have always been someone I admire, but if I marry someone I hate because I admire you, please forgive me for not being able to do it. ”
disgust, this is still light, she didn't say that she really wanted to kill Zhao Yang with a knife, it was already very good.
mentioned 'people like Zhao Yang' several times in a row, Zhao Wuji was a little displeased, what happened to Zhao Yang? Isn't your own boy good?
He asked, "Then tell me, what kind of person is Zhao Yang?" Why do the people of Yanjing poke you in the back when you marry him? ”
Before Liu Xiang could speak, a figure walked over slowly, although his steps were very slow, but the strange thing was that every time he took a step, he would move several meters, and it looked like he was breathing naturally, without any abrupt feeling, he came to the hall in a few steps, and as soon as he stepped into the hall, he said: "You won't believe what she said." ”
Someone had already noticed the figure, and at this time the eyes of the rest of the people also moved to the young man.
That's right, it was Zhao Chen who spoke, only to hear him say lightly: "In your heart, your son is the best child in the world, what anyone says is slander, any evidence is fake, you are a good family head, and you are a good man, but you are not a good father, the reason why Zhao Yang is like this is all because of what you are used to." ”
Seeing Zhao Chen appear, somehow, the people around him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Including the emperor, everyone nodded secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say this, and only Zhao Chen, the young master of the Zhao family, who seemed to be a higher level than the head of the Zhao family, dared to talk to Zhao Wuji like this.
"Young Master." Zhao Wuji's voice paused, "Although you are a young master, you have only been in Yanjing for half a month, don't listen to other people's rumors." ”
Shaking his head, Zhao Chen sighed and said, "Look, you can see for yourself your current attitude." I haven't said anything yet, I just said this point, and you think it's a rumor, and I haven't even said any facts, and you already think I'm wrong, isn't this exactly what I just said? ”
Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then, please tell the young master, if the truth is like this, I will never favor Xiaoyang at all." Speaking of this, he glanced at the people around him, "But if it is slander, I hope that the young master can hand over the person who speaks nonsense to me." ”
"Dad, don't..."Zhao Yang was shocked.
"Humph! Let the young master say, the body is not afraid of the shadow, what are you afraid of? Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, it sounded like he was teaching Zhao Yang a lesson, but in fact he was expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, he was serious this time, and he must return his son's innocence this time.
Zhao Chen smiled weirdly, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a graceful amplitude, so that Zhao Yang, who had been paying attention to him, couldn't help sweating in his heart, his palms were cold, and his feet couldn't help but tremble, and then Zhao Chen said something that surprised everyone: "As you said, I have only been in Yanjing for less than half a month, and many things may not be understood clearly." ”
This is only the first half of the sentence, but then he changed his words: "But there are thousands of people in Yanjing, they should always understand, right?" ”
He continued: "I hereby guarantee that as the first person under Zhao Ji, the ancestor of the Zhao family, everyone can speak freely, anyone can talk about Zhao Yang's deeds, and some of them can even say that the Zhao family will never retaliate, if anyone dares to retaliate, I will definitely kill it, if I can't beat it..."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Then I will ask the ancestor Zhao Ji to take action personally!" ”
This guarantee is enough, and at the same time, everyone finally understands Zhao Chen's identity in the Zhao family, the first person under the Holy Son, such an identity, I am afraid that no one dares to provoke anywhere in the Dream Continent, even if it is the rest of the Holy Son's family, it is impossible to easily offend such a person.
In fact, many people have long held back their complaints in their hearts, their resentment towards Zhao Yang is no less than Zhao Yang's resentment towards Zhao Chen, after Zhao Yang made a guarantee, they almost couldn't help but want to stand up and speak, but they still hesitated.
"Does the head of the house agree with this?" Zhao Chen said lightly.
Zhao Wuji nodded: "I agreed to this." In fact, he thought to himself: Isn't this better? As long as the Zhao family does not pursue and does not retaliate, then what everyone said must be the closest to the truth, but this alone is not enough insurance, he added a condition: "But if someone tells a lie and deliberately slanders, then I reserve the right to investigate." ”
Well, now it's finally time to accuse this wicked bastard without any scruples.
Everyone was overjoyed, and at the same time, they also admired Zhao Chen, and used such words to block Zhao Wuji's revenge, so that everyone had no worries, and let Zhao Wuji know what kind of scum his son was.
The only thing that couldn't accept it was Zhao Yang, at this moment, his face changed drastically, he couldn't help it anymore, stepped out, and shouted: "Zhao Chen, when did I offend you, why did you frame me like this, these people knew at a glance that they wanted to slap you, and now that you say such a thing, even if they are fake, they have to follow your meaning." It's unfair to me! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wuji's face changed again, and his gaze at Zhao Chen became a little different.
"Do I need to slander you? If I really want to deal with you and kill you with a single sword, who will dare to stop me? I'm not afraid to tell you, even if I lift the Zhao family, the ancestors will definitely not object, do I need to be so troublesome? Zhao Chen smiled coldly, "Family master, if you don't believe it, you can try, I will kill Zhao Yang now, you go and ask the ancestor to see if he will blame me." ”
There was murderous intent flashing in his eyes, if Zhao Wuji dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction, he would kill people at all costs.
