Chapter 111 - Breaking Family Daughters
The next morning, the snow had already stopped, but it was still very thick.
Zhao Chen practiced sword techniques with Wang Chongyang, after finishing breakfast, he rode his horse back to Middle Han Area!
Along the way, Zhao Chen looked at Kang An a few more times, his expression also becoming much gentler! However, no one noticed the difference in Zhao Chen!
In the eyes of Lin Bao and the other guards, Zhao Chen had always been very kind to his subordinates. Zhao Chen's eyes were always very gentle, so they didn't feel that Zhao Chen was any different from how he was in the past!
Zhao Chen was a little hesitant, should he tell Kang An his intentions of paralyzing Zhe Keqiu, so that Kang An would not see that he was not thinking of advancing, and feel cold?! But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Chen still kept such a thought in his heart! Right now, he only believed in Kang An, but he was still unable to make up his heart to others! If Kang An was a spy arranged by Zhe Keqiu, even if there was a one in a thousand chance of success, he would still be completely exposed. At that time, even if he didn't die, he would be completely controlled.
Therefore, he still had to endure and probe!
Therefore, he would still be the same as before, working as a carpenter and hunting everyday. He would not have any changes, and he would also not explain anything to Kang An. Only in the future, when he truly and truly treated Kang An as a trusted aide, would he explain these things!
"Let's go!" The weather is so cold today! " The cold wind whistled as Zhao Chen rode the Moonlight Lion forward, laughing heartily.
At this moment, outside the palace, the horses were also exceptionally excited. Not long later, the horses brought Zhao Chen to the city gate, and Lin Bao, Kang An and the rest had not caught up yet!
Zhao Chen waited here for a while, and when they arrived, he then returned to the Imperial Palace together with them!
After arriving at the Imperial Palace, Zhao Chen couldn't wait and started learning how to be a carpenter from Wang Pu!
Zhao Chen only stopped when it was night time! After he ate dinner, he started to read Taoism in his room!
When Lin Bao saw that Zhao Chen was reading a Dao book, a smile appeared on his face!
The snow outside started to fall again, Lin Bao gave an excuse and went out to prepare supper for Zhao Chen!
He headed in the direction of the Supreme Harmony Hall, where Zhe Keqiu was currently waiting for him at the entrance!
"This servant greets Master Fold!" Lin Bao respectfully said as he knelt in the snow.
"Get up!" You two stayed outside the whole day and stayed in the Changchun View for the night. Your Majesty didn't do anything out of line, right? " Zhe Keqiu said.
"His Majesty was constantly hunting and was in high spirits. Later on, he learned swordsmanship from a young Taoist, and later, he learned Dao books as well! After his return today, His Majesty had worked as a carpenter for the whole day and was reading Dao books again tonight! During this period of time, His Majesty has never done anything out of line! " Lin Bao stood up and said.
"Very good! This is my king! Hmph, he'd better do this for the rest of his life. Then I'll support him for the rest of his life! It's just raising a pig, it's nothing! " Zhe Keqiu sneered.
"Master Fold is so kind!" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.
"Lin Bao, I won't forget your contribution! "Next year, I will let you hold the position of a court master, first being a Young Master, and then slowly being promoted!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Thank you, Master Fold!" Lin Bao was overjoyed. He once again kneeled down, kowtowing as he spoke.
The authority of the eunuchs in Song Dynasty was great, many eunuchs held high positions! For example, a few years ago, a famous eunuch, Tong Tong, had even served as Privy Envoys, as the Northwest Guard, until he was conferred the title of County King! The rest, like Chief Eunuch Yang Jian, was once a throttling, an official to the Imperial Tutor! Chief Eunuch Liang Shicheng was known as the Concealment Faction! The reason why Lin Bao entered the palace, was for the sake of being rich and powerful. Now that Zhe Keqiu had given him such a promise, his heart was filled with extreme joy!
"Work hard, I won't let you down!" Zhe Keqiu laughed and left the palace in big strides!
After an hour, Zhe Keqiu returned home!
The cold wind was blowing outside, but Zhe Keqiu's house was warm and harmonious!
Zhe Keqiu took off his outer robes and said: Go and call Yan Wen over!
After a while, Zhe Yanwen arrived at Zhe Keqiu's room. He first bowed respectfully, then sat down!
"Father called me over. What's the matter?" Zhe Yanwen said.
"I want to discuss a very important matter with you! It's about your sister! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhe Yanwen was shocked, he did not dare say more, and waited for his father to continue speaking.
"These days you have been recruiting soldiers and you have also been to the people many times. How do the people describe you as a father? Describe us to breaking house? " Zhe Keqiu did not talk about his daughter, but suddenly asked about it.
"This …" Zhe Yanwen was a little hesitant, and did not reply.
"Say what they say!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"They say we're the ones with the most power! There are even some people who say that our Zhuo Family is the world's greatest traitor, and that we have treated the Emperor as a puppet! " Zhe Yanwen said.
"You're right!" Our Zhuo Family is now in charge of the government, we chased Li Gang out of the government, and many officials from different places have been removed by us, to be our trusted aides! "It would be strange if the people didn't say that!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Father is right!" The people of the world, many of them still favored the Great Song Emperor! Even though our Zhuo Family has an overflowing amount of power and influence, we are not the target of the public's desire! " Zhe Yanwen sighed softly and said.
"Of course! The Song Dynasty had ruled the world for more than a hundred years. For example, when Cao Cao was still alive, he did not dare ascend to the throne, but feared that the people would oppose him! At that time, Cao Cao had ruled the North for decades, but the people of the North were still loyal to the Han Dynasty! It was not until after Cao Cao's death that Cao Pi dared to ascend the throne and become emperor! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"Father, are we going to have to wait for decades as well?" Zhe Yanwen said.
"I have been thinking about this these past few days. Actually, winning over the hearts of the people is not impossible! At the very least, we can make the people of the world less opposed to us! Let the people of the world not speak of our power! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"May I know what it is?" Zhe Yanwen asked tentatively.
"This has something to do with your sister!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"What does this have to do with my sister?" Zhe Yanwen asked curiously.
"In this world, it is not only Cao Cao Cao, there is also another person in history who used the Son of Heaven to order dukes around. His name is Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian!" His work was more successful than Cao Cao's! "Think about it carefully about what happened with Yang Jian!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Yang Jian?" Zhe Yanwen was startled, and started to think carefully!
After a while, Zhe Yanwen's face revealed a shocked expression, and said: "Father, you want to learn from Yang Jian?"
Zhe Keqiu laughed and said: "That's right, I want to learn from Yang Jian! Back then, Yang Jian had married his daughter to Northern Zhou Empire's Emperor Yuwen, and later killed Yuwen and allowed his grandson, Zhou Jing Di, to succeed the throne! Zhou Jingdi was young, and Yang Jian was the father of the empress dowager. He was the legitimate ruler of the imperial court and had the world under his control. In the future, Yang Jian would easily replace him with Zhou Jingdi! He did this much more securely than Cao Cao! I can also learn from you! "
Zhe Yanwen said in shock, "Father, you want to marry little sister off to that useless Emperor. Wait until little sister is pregnant, then we can kill the useless Emperor. In the future, taking over the world would be much easier! Father, how can you be so malicious? Your younger sister is your daughter, how can you push her into a fire pit? Let her be a widow at such a young age? "
Zhe Keqiu coldly snorted, and said: "Yan Wen, you think too much. I only wanted your sister to marry the Emperor, and become the Queen! This way, I will become the National Elder! Now, the people of the world say that I am the ruler of the country. When that time comes, I will be the ruler of the country and manage the affairs of the country for the young emperor. The people of the world will not say anything! After all, I am a relative of the emperor. The emperor is young, so I have the qualifications! "After all, we are outsiders to the emperor, and the name of the country we are managing is not fair. That is why the citizens of the world are talking about it!"
Zhe Yanwen frowned. After a while, he said: "Father, this still won't do! The Emperor was just a good-for-nothing, how could he marry his sister to the Emperor? "What's more, Father, you'll have to replace him in the future. What about Little Sister then?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "If worst comes to worst, I'll just entrust him with the position of Marquis. At that time, your sister will still be considered a rich and powerful person! Don't worry, she's my daughter. Why would I harm my daughter? "
Zhe Yanwen said: "But, Father, this is still not appropriate! The Emperor is too young! "
Zhe Keqiu laughed out loud, and said: "This year, the Emperor is already eleven, and next year, he will be twelve. Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty also married A-Jiao at the age of twelve! He has also reached Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty's age! "
Zhe Yanwen became anxious and said: "Father, I don't want my sister to marry a trash! "Sister is a rare talented girl in ancient and modern times, that piece of trash is not worthy of sister at all!"
Zhe Keqiu laughed coldly, "No matter what, that trash is still an emperor. With his status, he is worthy of any woman in the world! "So what if your sister is pampered? She actually dares to be picky about the Emperor?"
Zhe Yanwen was abnormally unwilling and said: "Father, we should still inform Second Brother, or after Second Brother returns, we should think about it carefully!"
Zhe Keqiu said: "No need, your second brother has no plans, he won't have any ideas even if he returns! Tomorrow, I will think of a way to make this happen. Next year, I will definitely become the country's head, and at that time, I can pacify the hearts of all the people in the world! Wasn't it a good thing for a daughter to be able to pacify the people in the world? "Daughter, no matter how talented she is, she belongs to someone else. If she can help me accomplish something big, what else can she not do?"
Zhe Yanwen said: "Father, think twice!"
Zhe Keqiu said: "I have already thought about it for a few days, and have already thought it through properly, so there is no need to think about it anymore! Tomorrow, I'll go see your sister and have a talk with her first! "
Zhe Yanwen was anxious, he thought of a way to stop his father, but no matter what, he couldn't think of a way!
It was already deep into the night, so if Zhe Keqiu wanted to go to sleep, he could only leave!
