Wei and Jin cooks

This was too hasty, he thought they had a tacit understanding.

Zhao Zhongyu was slightly unhappy, but he still put down his pen and left the study.

Zhao Hanzhang was looking up at the sycamore tree in the yard. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and did not salute. Instead, he pointed at the slender sycamore tree and said, "Has it been roasted by the fire of the past few days?"

Zhao Zhongyu said "hmm" and said, "Although we are far away, we still have some influence."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "I remember that when my grandfather was still here, he would often test his uncle and elder brother's homework under this sycamore tree."

When Zhao Zhongyu heard this, he also fell silent. He was much older than Zhao Hanzhang, and he was already well-versed in human relations. Zhao Hanzhang mentioned Zhao Ji and Zhao Yi at this time, but he still started with such a warm start, which was obviously to be open to the public.

This surprised him a little. He didn't expect that Zhao Hanzhang would take a step back and intercede on their behalf. When they met this morning, her words were clearly very sharp. Two days ago, she didn't even see Zhao Ji, and she didn't give up until she was severely punished. appearance.

Zhao Hanzhang knew that he understood, and she was silent for a long time before saying: "Yuncheng is too far away, and the eldest sister is still young, so she may not be accustomed to the local environment. Since the eldest brother is going back to Xiping, let him take care of the sisters."

Zhao Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."

He paused and asked: "Then Wu..."

Zhao Hanzhang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Auntie, please ask your uncle to take more care of you. When you get to Yuncheng, my uncle will punish you as appropriate. The road is always inconvenient. After all, you are following your majesty. Moreover, the eldest sister and the second sister are already engaged, and they will get married." needs time."

This is to change from immediate execution to death penalty.

Zhao Zhongyu was both touched and cold in his heart.

He was moved that Zhao Hanzhang was still willing to think about the blood relationship and be willing to give in, which made him more willing to be the hostage;

The reason for the cold was that she knew all about his plans. In order to calm her anger, he really wanted Wu to get "sick" tonight and go on the road sick. She would die from acclimatization in a few days.

He will take Zhao Hewan with him and let her take care of Wu.

She is already engaged, and this time her mother will observe mourning for three years. In order not to delay the husband, he will break off the engagement and either send her to become a monk or a monk when she arrives in Yuncheng, or choose another marriage when her mourning period expires.

But if she gets engaged again, she won't get a good marriage, and her whole life may be ruined.

Zhao Hewan was not the only one who was also delayed. Zhao Erniang and Zhao Siniang also had to observe mourning for three years. There were many changes in these three years, and no one knew what their future would be like.

He felt that this was enough to calm Zhao Hanzhang, but he did not expect that she would be willing to take a step back and allow Wu to live in Yuncheng.

Even though it is just a small time difference, the consequences are different.

Zhao Zhongyu fell silent. It was rare for the grandfather and grandson to stand so quietly without feeling nervous.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the sycamore tree and the tables and chairs under the tree. This was where she and Zhao Changyu met for the first time.

If it were him, he wouldn't want her Zhao family's first and second wives to be righteous, right?

Zhao Hanzhang sighed.

Zhao Zhongyu also sighed.

He said: "Your Majesty thought of Yuncheng and summoned the clan members and governors from various places, including Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou."

Zhao Hanzhang sneered when he heard this, "Is it Gou Xi's suggestion? He wants to command the world through the emperor? But don't forget that half of the clan is now in the hands of Shi Le. After the eight kings, how many members of the Sima family are still alive? indivual?"

"There are still dozens of them," Zhao Zhongyu said: "What I'm worried about is Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou. He is now guarding Jinyang and has a very difficult time holding that land. Once he leaves, I'm afraid Liu Yuan will not let him go. Take this chance.”

"Once Liu Yuan captures Jinyang, the entire Bingzhou will be his," Zhao Zhongyu said: "With Liu Kun in Bingzhou, he can contain a lot of Xiongnu troops for you. Once Jinyang is lost, Luoyang and Yuzhou will be lost." We will face all Liu Yuan's troops."

He whispered: "The imperial court specially ordered him to come back and gave him the position of governor of Jizhou. I suspect it is Gou Xi's plan to make Liu Yuan fight with you."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...He hasn't even left Luoyang yet, but he has a lot on his mind."

Zhao Zhongyu said, "You have to contact Liu Kun and convince him to stay in Jinyang."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and finally smiled, "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

Zhao Zhongyu: "Isn't this why I went to Yuncheng?"

The first is to be a hostage, the second is to be a bridge between the court and Zhao Hanzhang, and the third is to provide Zhao Hanzhang with information from the court.

He looked up at Zhao Hanzhang and looked at her carefully.

Zhao Hanzhang looked back in confusion, "Uncle?"

Zhao Zhongyu: "You have changed a lot more than two years ago. I never knew you were such a person. Even you are very different now than you were in the morning."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Someone just told me, when will the injustice be repaid."

She spread her hands to show him and said, "We are flesh and blood. Broken bones are connected to tendons. I have resentment, but I cannot deny our flesh and blood relationship."

"Besides," she raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Zhongyu, "for the sake of the overall situation and the sake of the clan, this grudge seems to be nothing."

Zhao Zhongyu looked at her palm and said nothing for a long time.

Zhao Hanzhang clasped his palms together, put them behind his back, smiled slightly and said: "Since leaving Beijing, I have experienced life and death, war, and many, many things. In order to survive, I have to change, and I have to change for the better. Isn't this growth? ?"

Zhao Zhongyu sighed after being silent for a long time, "Yes, you will grow up after experiencing it. When your position changes, your thoughts will also change."

"I have always disliked your grandfather," Zhao Zhongyu, who had figured it out, went to sit cross-legged on the mat under the sycamore tree and said, "Ever since I was young, everyone has praised your grandfather for his great talent, but I am not as good as him. ."

Zhao Hanzhang walked to the opposite side of him and sat down cross-legged.

The attendant immediately brought tea and snacks. After putting them away, he bowed and retreated far away, standing with his head lowered.

"When I was a young man, these discussions were more frequent and louder. Your grandfather once insulted me in front of everyone. I always remembered it in my heart, so I always had a grudge against him."

Zhao Hanzhang understood that Zhao Changyu also told her before his death that the one thing he regretted most in his life was that he was frivolous in his youth and looked down on Zhao Zhongyu in public.

However, she felt that his remorse was not complete, because Zhao Changyu had always looked down on Zhao Zhongyu, and until his death he hated his younger brother with a passion, and felt that it was difficult for him to be the leader of the clan.

But even for such a person, for the sake of the clan, he is willing to give up the interests of his small family and prefer the interests of the clan, just like Zhao Changyu.

Zhao Hanzhang looked up at him.

"We brothers were already estranged from each other, and Empress Jia got in the way. The two of us knew each other well, and we were happy to fight each other as she wanted. It was a half-truth, but in the end, it turned out to be a lie. As the drama unfolds, the relationship between the two families becomes even more discordant."
