Chapter 142 - Departure
When Zhao Chen returned to the Dry Clear Palace, he was still a little anxious!
In his view, killing Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen and the others was not wrong, but for some reason, he felt that he had let down Zheyue Ru! He also remembered the scene where Zheyue Ru suddenly appeared during the Spring Festival. Zheyue Ru should be sincerely treating him well and had no other intentions! She had caused this woman to die, her entire family had been killed, and she was the only one left in this world! This caused him to feel guilty in her heart!
"It's just a woman, do you need to think about it? "Now that there are so many important matters in the court, I have to think carefully about what I should do in the future!" Zhao Chen got rid of the bored thoughts in his mind and started to think about governing his country!
Right now, his main enemies are Valkyrie and Emperor Kang, and to defeat these enemies, he had to have a strong army! The premise of a strong army was a rich country, while a rich country's premise was a rich people!
Zhao Chen sat in front of the table and wrote down all of the plans he had for getting rich!
During the past year, he had been thinking about related things every day, and he had already come up with his own ideas!
"Your majesty, Yang Shi, Zhao Ding requests to see you!" It was at this time that Kang An's voice came from outside!
"Let them in!" Zhao Chen thought for a moment, and said.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside. Yang Shi, Zhao Ding had entered the room!
When they saw Zhao Chen sitting down to write, they were all slightly shocked! They had already seen Zhao Chen a few times, but this was the first time they saw him writing calligraphy! In their hearts, Zhao Chen was an unconscious ruler, so he should be continuing to be a carpenter in the Dry Clear Palace.
"Yang Shi, Zhao Ding greets your majesty!" After learning their lesson, Yang Shi, Zhao Ding, and the rest still kneeled on the ground!
"You should rise!" Zhao Chen did not even look at the two as he blandly said.
Yang Shi and Zhao Ding stood up, and the two of them looked at each other. Yang Shi was the first to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, there are some rumors outside that Zhe Keqiu was killed by Your Majesty, was this true?"
Zhao Chen nodded, and said: "That's right!"
Yang Shi laughed coldly, and said: "Your Majesty is joking! Master Fold is completely loyal to His Majesty, how could he kill the emperor? "
Zhao Chen said: "He really did kill the monarch! As for what he is thinking, I am not sure either! "
Yang Shi's eyes were filled with ridicule: "From what I know, Jingyuan Army has already entered the Hanzhong City! It was the Jingyuan Army who went against the laws of nature, attempting to rebel and kill Zhe Keqiu! Isn't that so? "
Zhao Chen finally raised his head and looked at Yang Shi, and laughed: "Mr. Yang can really make wild guesses! The reason why the Jingyuan Army appeared around the Middle Han Area was because she wanted military rations. In the future, she would just need to escort military rations! That day when the palace was in chaos, I was terrified and that's why I called them into the palace! "
Zhao Ding frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, may I know where Curved End is? Could General Qu please come out and have a chat with us? "
Zhao Chen asked: Curved End? He is the throttling of the Jingyuan Army, he should be in the Plains of the Nine Prefectures now! If you want to see the General Qu, you better go to the Plains! "
Yang Shi was enraged, and said: "Your Majesty, why are you being so perfunctory? We already knew that the Jingyuan Army had entered the Middle Han Area, we already knew that the Curved End had taken control of the Middle Han Area's power, and His Majesty even said that he was in the middle of nowhere! Aren't you treating us all like fools? "
Until now, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding had thought that it was Curved End who had instigated the rebellion, and wanted to replace Zhe Keqiu to seize the heaven and earth to order the dukes! In their eyes, Zhao Chen was still an unconscious king, a youth that wasn't even worth mentioning! They were still looking down on Zhao Chen, and looking down on him! After arriving at the Imperial Palace, they only wanted to see the Curved End, so they were not willing to talk to Zhao Chen too much!
Zhao Chen slowly said: "I am not lying to you, Curved End is indeed not in Hanzhong City!"
Yang Shi said angrily: "Then where is he now?"
Zhao Chen replied: Didn't I just tell you? He's in the Jingyuan City! "
Zhao Ding stood there and thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, your wedding is over. I was originally here to congratulate you, so it's time for me to leave!"
Zhao Chen nodded, and said: "Goodbye! When you guys return to Linan, tell my Ninth Uncle that he usurped the throne and ascended the throne, he is a traitor. When our troops are ready, we will go punish him and pull him down from the throne! "
Yang Shi was so angry that his face turned red, and he asked: "What did you say?"
Zhao Chen had already lowered his head and wrote, no longer caring about him!
Yang Shi was extremely furious, he wanted to rush up and argue with Zhao Chen, but Zhao Ding anxiously grabbed onto Yang Shi, and dragged Yang Shi out!
"Why did you pull me back?" They were already outside of Dry Clear Palace, but Yang Shi was still furious!
"This is Emperor Xuanwu's territory, did Mr. Yang forget what happened that day? We were smashed to our knees! Let the little Emperor take advantage of his words now. In the future, there will be times when he will feel uncomfortable! " Zhao Ding said.
"Humph!" At first, he was oppressed by Zhe Keqiu, but now, he was about to be oppressed by the Curved End! He had been a puppet his entire life! Forget it, arguing with him is meaningless! Let's leave the Middle Han Area and return to Jiangnan! " Yang Shi said.
"We still need to know where the Curved End is. We need to know how strong she is!" Zhao Ding said.
"But the little Emperor isn't even willing to tell us. How do we know?" Yang Shi said.
"According to my speculations, Curved End must have gone to the southern part of the Shu Dao! Although he had captured the Middle Han Area unexpectedly, there was still Zhe Keqiu's son Zhe Yanzhi in Shu Chuan. He must be heading to Shu Dao to deal with Zhe Yanzhi! I heard that Zhe Yanzhi is just an idiot, he is definitely not a match for Curved End! " Zhao Ding said.
"Will this Middle Han Area and Shu Chuan really belong to the Curved End from now on?" Yang Shi said somewhat disgruntled.
"There's no other way! Zhe Keqiu was a formidable character, but unfortunately, the Curved End was even more skilled than him! When we find out the strength of Curved End, we will immediately report it to him and have him deal with it carefully! I believe that not long from now, the news will spread to the true female disciples, and at that time, the true female disciples will take advantage of the chaos to attack the Middle Han Area, Chuan Shu s, and at that time, Emperor Jianyan will have the chance to head west! " Zhao Ding said.
"That's right!" Zhao Ding, what you said was too good! There would definitely be chaos in Middle Han Area and Chuan Shu, forget about others, just over a hundred thousand Home Breaker s would not obediently listen to their orders! Now that Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen and the rest were killed, the Home Breaker was only temporarily deterred, and did not dare to move an inch! But before long, the Home Breaker will definitely cause a huge commotion, and there will definitely be someone who will seek revenge for Zhe Keqiu, and that will be our chance! " Yang Shi said excitedly.
"So, on one hand, we have to observe the strength of the Jingyuan Army and whether she can take down the Chuan Shu, and on the other hand, we have to observe the situation of the Home Breaker and see how much trouble the Home Breaker can cause the Middle Han Area!" Zhao Ding said.
"Yes!" Let's go to the Southern Zheng first? " Yang Shi said.
"That's right!" Zhao Ding nodded!
Regarding the two of them, Zhao Chen did not take them too seriously. He did not make things difficult for the two of them! Amongst the two of them, Zhao Ding could be considered to be a wise man. The tide of this era was vast and mighty. The one who went with the flow would die while the one who went against it would die! Zhao Chen had endured it for such a long time since the later generations, analyzing the way of governance and the situation of the era every single day. Although Zhao Ding was strong, he was definitely not his match!
He had only sent a few people to follow Yang Shi and Zhao Ding secretly, and have them report their whereabouts to him unceasingly! If these two did not do anything out of line, they would smoothly leave Middle Han Area!
Yang Shi, Zhao Ding, and the others arrived at the Southern Zheng first. They thought that the Home Breaker's army camp would be in chaos, but after arriving here, they realized that the place was very orderly and there was not the slightest chaos!
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the military camp, soldiers immediately stopped them. The soldier asked, "Who are you people?"
Yang Shi looked at the soldier with slight disdain, and said: "Who are you, to be worthy to talk to me? Get your General of Home Breaker out here and talk to me! "
Soldier's face turned cold: "What are you?" How dare he trespass into the army camp? Furthermore, this is not the Home Breaker, this is the Imperial Guard! "
Yang Shi was originally extremely furious, but when he heard that this place was not Home Breaker, but instead a forbidden troop, he was stunned in place for a moment, and said: "Forbidden army? How did this place become a forbidden army? Didn't the Imperial Guards all get annihilated by the Nvzhen?
The soldier sneered: "Kai Feng's Imperial Guards have all been annihilated by the Nvzhen. We are a newly formed Imperial Guard! His Majesty personally gave us the names, allowing us to regain the glory of the Imperial Guards! Who are you? Quickly report your identity! "If not, don't even think about leaving this place today!"
Yang Shi was still standing there in a daze. Zhao Ding, however, asked in disbelief, "Your majesty is personally naming you two? Your majesty has been here before? "
The two of them had been locked in the inn for the past few days, so they did not know about Zhao Chen's previous visit! Furthermore, Zhao Chen being in the army camp was a confidential matter, so most of the officials in Hanzhong City did not know about it.
The soldier looked at the two of them coldly and said, "His Majesty stayed with us for a few days. His Majesty is the most benevolent Holy Lord in the world, he forgives all of our crimes and he even compensates us with all of Zhe Keqiu's military pay! If we soldiers have any grievances, we can tell His Majesty. Your Majesty, please find a way to deal with it for us! He loves his soldiers like their sons, we are all loyal to His Majesty! The two of you shouldn't be a part of Zhe Keqiu's group, right? "If you do not reveal your identities and origins, I will capture you right now!"
The soldier gave a cold shout and the surrounding soldiers all drew their weapons to surround him!
Yang Shi was shocked and anxiously shouted: "We are emissaries who came to Middle Han Area on the orders of Emperor Jianyan to celebrate his wedding, and are definitely not a group of traitors with Zhe Keqiu! We still have the order badge from the Emperor Jianyan, you can check it! "
The soldier snorted and spat on the ground fiercely, "What Emperor Jianyan, he's just a traitor, a small marten on the same side as Zhe Keqiu!"
He carefully checked the two people's identification before believing their words, "When the two countries fight, we don't cut them down! You guys are lucky today, I'm not going to argue with you guys! However, you must leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be courteous to you! "
Yang Shi hesitated in his heart, he did not know whether to continue staying here or leave this place! He had a rough personality and was often angry, but once he saw that others were stronger, he became abnormally weak and wanted to retreat! Zhao Ding, on the other hand, laughed, cupped his hands, and said: "I wonder who is the general in your troop? We wish to pay our respects to the general of your troop! "
The soldier snorted: "General Yue is busy right now, I don't have time to see you! You guys hurry up and leave! "
Zhao Ding handed over a piece of silver, and the soldier's complexion slightly improved, and he said: "I'll help you guys report this!"
Although Yue Fei had already joined this army, it was impossible for this army to have a fundamental change in just three to five days! The soldiers all felt that accepting bribes was the most normal thing to do! However, their loyalty to Zhao Chen was actually real. Although Zhao Chen had only stayed in the army camp for three days, after going deep into the army and doing things that previous generations of monarchs did not do, the soldiers were indeed extremely grateful! Right now, there might be a few generals who were loyal to Zhe Keqiu, but the soldiers were all loyal to Zhao Chen!
Yang Shi, Zhao Ding had no choice but to leave the army camp!
