Chapter 281 Farewell
When Zhao Bing met the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he had already thought that he would be detained here, and made arrangements in advance before leaving. ?? �
To Zhao Bing's surprise, the young emperor had already felt the crisis. Nowadays, the ministers were strong and the kings were weak, and the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of war, the morale of the army was unstable, and the party struggled continuously. Not only was it unable to recover the lost territory, it was also difficult to defend the last base, and sooner or later it would exhaust the last power in the displaced. Thinking that the destruction was right in front of him, the young emperor could not sleep, but when he appeared King Wei had made a fortune in Qiongzhou, he saw hope again, especially after defeating Liu Shen, he placed his hope on his restoration.
However, the little emperor Zhao just buried his thoughts deeply in his heart and did not mention them to anyone, because he knew that such matters not only affect the rise and fall of the country, but also the life of King Wei. Ordinary people think that he was young and ignorant, but in fact he had experienced the change of imperial power and saw the bloody and ruthlessness of politics. After the death of the late emperor, Empress Dowager Xie summoned all ministers to discuss the establishment of the emperor. Everyone thought that Zhao, born to Concubine Yang, was appointed as the old one, but Jia Sidao and Empress Dowager Xie both advocated the establishment of the legitimate son, so Zhao Xian was appointed as emperor. At this time, he was only four years old and young, so the Empress Dowager Xie ruled behind the curtain, but the real power of the court was actually in the hands of Prime Minister Jia Sidao.
Zhao lost the throne because of his low status as a mother, but he was also spared from being the king of the country to be destroyed. He became the emperor by chance, but he still could not get rid of the fate of the powerful ministers in charge of the rule. However, Jia Sidao was replaced by Chen Yizhong at that time. He thought that he would grow up one day, but now he was unable to resist, so he could only endure it. Seeing that Chen Yizhong left his brothers in the palace again, he knew that he did not want the imperial power to be independent, so he could continue to take power, which made him unable to sit idly by.
But Zhao did not act rashly. He knew that once the matter was exposed, both brothers would be in danger. Therefore, he could only test in his own way whether Zhao Bing could really control the general's army. Of course, his method seemed very naive to outsiders, but he just happened to hide it from the spies around him, and also allowed Zhao to conclude that his brother had completely controlled the power of Qiongzhou. So he used a joke to grant the brothers the power of the army and decided to let him leave the court as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams...
"Fifth brother, is the one who picked you up?" Zhao was the two brothers in the cabin of the imperial ship. He helped up the brother who greeted him with great gifts and asked in a deep voice.
"Well, they are here!" Zhao Bing nodded, but there was no joy in getting out of trouble, and his mood became heavier.
"Fifth brother, you are so nice. There are a group of loyal subordinates who are willing to go through fire and water for you." Zhao's envy was beyond words, but there was no trace of jealousy in it.
"Emperor brother, they are subordinates of my brother, and even the emperor's brother, they will live and die for you." Zhao Bing looked up at the little emperor and said solemnly.
"Okay, when we drive away the Tartars in the future and restore my ancestors' country, I will reward them well." Zhao Shi patted the young emperor who was one shorter than himself and squeezed out a smile and said, "Fifth brother, you are the youngest among brothers. You should have kept you by your side to take care of you, but I am limited by my age and cannot rule in charge. Everything depends on you, which is really shameful for me."
"Don't be sad, brother, why don't you go back to Qiongzhou with me, I will definitely help you to rule." Zhao Bing politely said. However, what he said this time was the truth. If he didn't say anything else, this strong brotherhood made him feel worthy of his efforts.
"Haha, I know that the fifth brother can do it, but you have only been in the past year and your foundation is not stable. You can't fight against the treacherous slander in the court. When you are full of wings, you will be determined to share the country with you." Zhao Shi touched his brother's head and said with a slutty smile. He knew that his brother seemed to be strong, but the army controlled by the court officials should not be underestimated. Even if he could win the battle, his strength would be greatly reduced and he was unable to deal with the invasion of the Tartars.
"Brother, but..."
"Don't say more. Remember to be patient when you are not sure and never act without action, so as not to miss the big thing." Zhao Shi said solemnly when he saw that he was not giving up.
"I understand!" Zhao Bing whispered, but he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to meet again when he was gone.
"Don't cry, it's okay for me." Zhao Shi raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his brother's face and said sadly.
"Well, the emperor must take care of himself. If you have any questions, you must tell me. Even if you have a lot of mountains and rivers, you must lead your army to serve the king." This was the first time that Zhao Bing came to this world and she cried, but she said why she cried. She was just sad. He choked up and said.
"Brother, take off your top!" Zhao Shi nodded and said.
"..." Zhao Bing was a little surprised at his request. He wondered whether he wanted to learn to tattoo his mother-in-law and to write the words "Loyalty" on his back on his back, but he still took off his clothes as he said.
"This is the seal of the Marshal of the World's Military and Horse Capital. I have personally given you so that you can dispatch the military and horses of the world, appoint local officials, and recruit new troops." Zhao took off a brocade bag from his waist and tied it to his brother's waist with his own hands, put on his clothes and said.
"Thank you!" Zhao Bing put on his clothes and felt that his waist was heavy. Fortunately, he was wide and fat, and was not conspicuous after being covered by a robe. As for the emperor's private seal letter, he also understood that his edict must have been suppressed by Chen Yizhong and others, so he bypassed them and authorized him directly. As for whether it was useful, he really didn't like it.
"You remember everything I said!" Hearing a sound of footsteps outside, Zhao knew that someone was coming, so he hurriedly wiped the tears on his brother's face, and then asked softly in his clothes.
"Well, I have all recorded it!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.
"Liu Dong, is my fishing rod ready? King Wei can't wait!" Zhao Shixiao shouted outside the cabin. Liu Dong was his close yellow gate.
"Your Majesty, I have seen it. There are big fish at the stern of the boat. I will definitely catch a few today!" Zhao Bing responded loudly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Queen Mother and the Prince Chen have arrived!" Liu Dong ran in panic, holding two fishing rods in his hand.
"Fifth brother, let's go and see my mother!" Zhao said with a smile by holding Zhao Bing's hand.
"Okay..." Zhao Bing nodded and sniffed hard, looking at the emperor who was also tearful and blurred, saying, "He knew that the time for farewell was coming, and goodbye might be the separation of yin and yang... (To be continued.)
