Chapter 602: Zhao Wen who suffered a catastrophe
There is no final conclusion about the cause of Zhao Guifei's death and who is the instigator behind Zhao Wen's disability. This has become a headless public case.
Although the first emperor gave Zhao Wangfu a lot of gold and silver rewards, he did not give Zhao Wen a fair explanation, which put all the crimes on the heads of the people of the Liao Dynasty in the north.
This matter was controversial in the way the emperor dealt with it.
After this incident, Zhao Lao Taijun asked Zhao Qiang to hand over military power to the emperor.
Zhao Wangfu never valued power. In Mrs. Zhao's view, the most important thing is the safety of the family.
For the sake of her family's safety, she would rather weaken her own power.
The biggest victim of this incident is Zhao Wen.
Overnight, Zhao Wen's life was turned upside down.
Zhao Wu can be said to have witnessed the changes in Zhao Wen's life, and saw his most admired brother, from a high-spirited young general to a taciturn person.
Zhao Wen is not a weak person, but no matter how strong he is, he can't endure such heavy physical injuries and such heavy blows.
What a spirited man he was before he was twenty-four. He was not only a once-in-a-century general, but also a brilliant scholar. Zhao Wu saw his elder brother debating with people in the imperial court, and he was not inferior at all.
Overnight, Zhao Wen became a disabled person who couldn't even walk.
If Zhao Wu had such an experience, he would not accept it. I'm afraid it will be worse than Zhao Wen.
Fortunately, for so many years, Zhao Wen has been accompanied by Rong Yu. It is also a great blessing to be able to walk through the most painful time of your life hand in hand with your loved ones.
However, although Zhao Wen has now walked out of the tragedy, his character will not be the high-spirited young man he was before the age of twenty-four.
He did not speak and became reticent. When something happens to him, he thinks about it for a long time, and he becomes very scheming.
Although the eldest brother is still the original eldest brother, Zhao Wu knows that this has never changed.
However, he also knew that after the accident, Zhao Wen could no longer teach him to ride a horse and shoot arrows as before.
Today's Zhao Wen has changed from a general in command to a strategist who gives advice.
The same thing, he never looked at the surface.
Now the court's favor to Zhao Wangfu, in Zhao Wen's eyes, is enough to make Zhao Wangfu vigilant.
His experience is a lesson from the past.
This time, Zhao Jiajun went to Heihuling to suppress bandits, but nothing happened. Zhao Wu almost died as before.
"Our Zhao Wangfu always cherishes ourselves. Even if the Pang family wants to win over, we have to agree. Rong Yu, who was standing behind Zhao Wen, stretched out her hands and put them on her husband's shoulders.
Compared with her husband, who is now sad, she still misses her former husband and the husband who rode with her on horseback in the northwest grasslands.
That's not to say she doesn't like Zhao Wen right now. No matter what Zhao Wen looks like, she won't hate him. Rong Yu just felt that Zhao Wen's current mentality was becoming more and more depressed, so it was easy to have a short life.
In Rong Yu's opinion, the imperial court gave Zhao Wangfu a reward, but this was not a good thing in Zhao Wen's opinion.
She didn't understand. Can't her husband make things easier?
Although she has been married to the Central Plains for more than ten years, her mind is still a brave girl living in the northwest grassland. She can't adapt to the trickery of the Central Plains people.
Zhao Wen and his wife are on the same page. Listening to his wife's words and feeling his wife's hand on his shoulder, he understood that Rong Yu didn't want him to think too much.
Zhao Wen didn't want to talk about these deceitful things in front of Rong Yu, so he pursed his lips and never spoke again.
