Chapter 96 - Wang De Leave
At noon that day, Zhao Chen ate lunch with Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian. In the afternoon, Zhao Chen sent the three off with his eyes!
Zhao Chen had originally wanted to personally send the three of them out of the Hanzhong City, but before he could even reach the entrance of the Han Palace, Kang An had already stepped forward to block his path, and said: "Your Majesty, you cannot leave the Imperial Palace!"
Zhao Chen said: "I am only sending the three of them off! You can follow me and protect me! When I reach the entrance of the Hanzhong City, I will naturally return! "
Kang An said: "When His Majesty travels, it is a great matter of the imperial government! Without the Master Fold's order, I cannot let His Majesty leave! "
Yue Fei frowned and said: "General Kang, His Majesty is the master of the Song Dynasty, this Middle Han Area is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the Han palace is the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty! Can't His Majesty leave this place as he pleases? "
Kang An only shook his head, and said: "Unless I have Master Fold's order, I don't dare let His Majesty leave!"
Yue Fei still wanted to say something, but he was already laughing, and said: "Master Fold is also thinking about my safety! I was assassinated twice that day. Now that I think about it, I am really scared!] Alright, Yue Fei, the three of you can leave on your own! From today onwards, all of you will become the scam of Henan Province! Speaking of which, you all advanced three levels consecutively! And the Summoner is a third ranked military general! "
Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian all looked at each other, then kneeled on the ground. Yue Fei said: "This subject will take his leave first! Take care, Your Majesty! "
Zhao Chen waved his hand, and said: "Go! Go! I hope that we will meet again one day! "
Looking at the backs of Yue Fei and the other two as they left, Zhao Chen sighed lightly! He didn't know if he could see the three of them!
Even though he had been comforting himself and telling himself that he was the "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss", he was tolerating it! However, he didn't know whether this patience would work or not. He also didn't know whether or not his plans would work in the future! He did not know whether it would be him killing Zhe Keqiu or Zhe Keqiu controlling him completely in the future! At this moment, his heart was unavoidably lonely!
However, very quickly, that lonely expression disappeared!
He had to be strong! In this chaotic world, if one was not strong, not to mention defeating the enemy, even preserving his own life would be difficult!
"Li Ruoshui, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and the rest are already outside! Although Wu Jie didn't openly rely on me, I believe that Li Ruoshui will rope them in! They are all accumulating power for me, working hard for this Great Song Emperor of mine! I must not be weak! Right now, other than learning every day, I have to show that I am weak in order to numb Zhe Keqiu! Very well, let us return to the Dry Clear Palace! From now on, there was no one in the palace who could trust anyone! I've never experienced such an environment before. Even on the way back, I had a few trusted aides by my side! However, I like this environment! I, Zhao Chen, like challenges, the more I challenge, the happier I will be! " Zhao Chen clenched his fists tightly, and his face revealed a smile!
After Yue Fei and the other two left, Zhao Chen's performance in the palace was no different from before!
He still studied every day, morning assembly every day!
There was still no change in the situation of the imperial government. As before, whatever Zhe Keqiu said, the ministers below would agree to it. Whatever Zhe Keqiu objected to, the ministers below would oppose it together! Zhao Chen still did not speak much in the imperial government, and speaking occasionally was in agreement with Zhe Keqiu! No matter what Li Gang said in the imperial court, the ministers did not agree!
The imperial government's taxes would still be sent to the Home Breaker! During this period of time, Home Breaker began expanding her army, and had already recruited over 30,000 soldiers! These were all information that Zhao Chen had heard from the imperial government. Other than the imperial government, he had no other sources of information. The guards around him had all been replaced by Zhe Keqiu's men, and these people definitely wouldn't and wouldn't dare to tell Zhao Chen anything!
Zhao Chen had not seen Wang De or Li Gang in this period of time either! thought that it would be impossible for the two of them to enter the Han Palace! With so many guards outside, they would surely be able to stop these two!
It could be said that Zhao Chen was truly "alone" now!
By the 20th of August, it began to rain heavily!
On the 25th of August, the rain became even heavier!
Because of the rain, the weather was too dark, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with candles! The cold wind was blowing outside and the candles were shaking!
"If you have anything to say, you can start now. If you have nothing to do, then leave the court!" The guard above shouted.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject has something to begin!" One of the ministers stood forward and said.
This man was Zhe Keqiu's trusted aide, the Minister of Rites's assistant, Han Ping!
"What is it?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your majesty, that day, King Wang De escorted Your Majesty out of the Kaifeng City, the contributions were great, so this humble subject recommended Your majesty Wang to be the assistant envoy for Shaanxi Province!" Han Ping said.
Zhao Chen's face slightly changed, he knew that Zhe Keqiu's hand was finally reaching for Wang De! After Yue Fei and the other two were expelled, Zhe Keqiu finally decided to chase Wang De away from his side! Wang De was currently the Commander of the Palace. Although he was the Head Guard of the Palace in name, in reality, the Head Guard of the Palace was Kang An! Wang De didn't have the slightest bit of power now, and was usually unable to enter the Imperial Palace nor see Zhao Chen, but Zhe Keqiu still decided to drive him away from Zhao Chen's side!
Furthermore, Zhe Keqiu was extremely vicious! Right now, the Curved End is the messenger of Shaanxi province, so the yamen of Shaanxi province is in the Jingyuan City, if Wang De becomes the messenger, then Wang De will definitely go to the plain! At that time, Curved End will only think that the crown prince will not be able to tolerate Wang De! As a commander-in-chief, he could not tolerate an outsider. The simple method was to make that outsider die in an accident!
In that moment, Zhao Chen thought of many things! After going through countless things, reading history books everyday and learning non-stop every day, Zhao Chen had become unusually sensitive politically! But he couldn't do anything now!
"Your Majesty, this humble subject is not willing to leave your side!" Wang De knelt down and cried.
Zhao Chen looked down at Wang De, a warm glow flashing across his eyes! How could he be willing to let Wang De leave his side? When he came to this era, the first person he met was Wang De! That day at the Kaifeng Palace, it was Wang De who brought the double, Little San'er. Then, it was Wang De who used all his strength to break into the Imperial Palace, and brought him and Li Gang to leave the Kaifeng City! If not for Wang De, he would have died in Kaifeng City long ago! His feelings towards Wang De could be said to be that of a teacher and a friend!
"General Wang, we are also not willing for you to leave! However, with your martial arts and abilities, I am not willing to let you waste your time and time in Middle Han Area! Lord Han recommended you to be the deputy emissary for Shaanxi Province. That's for your own good, you should be happy! You will be invited to a banquet in the Imperial Palace and sent off! " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty! "No way!" Li Gang shouted loudly.
From Li Gang's point of view, Yue Fei and the other two had already left. Although it was very difficult for Wang De to enter the Imperial Palace at the moment, within the Hanzhong City, he could also rush to the Imperial Palace if anything were to happen to the Imperial Palace! But once Wang De became the so called "Vice Envoy Xuan Fen", it would be impossible for him to rush to the Imperial Palace!
"There's no need to talk about this anymore!" Senior Han recommended General Wang to be the deputy emissary for Shaanxi Province, I am truly happy! Thank you, Sir Han! " Zhao Chen said.
"This humble subject does not dare accept the honor!" Han Ping looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes revealing a look of contempt, and said.
In his view, this Emperor Xuanwu was really muddle-headed to the extreme! He was clearly driving the Emperor's trusted aide away from the Emperor, and this Emperor actually thought that he was helping his trusted aide ascend to the next rank! But then again, the Emperor was only eleven years old, Han Ping already understood it, and did not think much of it!
On the other hand, Zhe Keqiu had a satisfied expression!
That day at noon, Zhao Chen and Wang De ate lunch together!
This was the first time Wang De had been so close to him in the past few days. Thinking of leaving with Zhao Chen, Wang De swallowed his food with difficulty, feeling choked with sobs!
"Your Majesty, Zhe Keqiu is an ambitious wolf! Yue Fei and the other two have already left, I will also leave today! What if you are in danger? " Wang De said.
"Yes!" But this humble subject is still unwilling to leave! " Wang De said.
"After you arrive at the Holy Land, don't meddle in anything, don't ask about anything! "After you get there, you can only be an idle person and roam around every day!" Zhao Chen thought about it and said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wang De looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief.
"I was afraid that the Curved End would not be able to tolerate you once you reach the Endless World, which was why I came up with this plan! I think that not too long from now, Li Gang will also be expelled. At that time, you can contact him and he will advise you according to the situation at hand! " Zhao Chen said.
Wang De nodded and remembered it!
In the pouring rain, Zhao Chen sent Wang De out of the palace!
As he watched Wang De leave, a wave of loneliness once again emerged in his heart!
"Li Gang's reputation in the world is extremely high, Zhe Keqiu will not rashly expel Li Gang! I wonder what method he will use? " Zhao Chen secretly thought.
