Chapter 793: Confession (2)(2/2)
He shook his head and said, "I don't care at all whether Juancheng Hou can inherit the throne."
This made Master Chen excited.
It has to be said that the moment before, Grand Master Chen suspected that Zhao Yu wanted his future father-in-law, Li Liang, to inherit the throne, so he dominated the Handan Incident and killed the Emperor of Jin with Yang Xiong's hand, Prince Li Xu, Emperor Li Xin and others, so he was very angry.
But now, after understanding the reason, Master Chen changed his mind instead.
After all, it would be better to let Juancheng Hou Li Liang inherit the throne than to defect to Jiangdong Yishi and replace his brother Zhao Bohu to overthrow Jin State in one fell swoop.
That is the country he has been loyal to for his life!
Looking at Zhao Yu who looked indifferent, Grandmaster Chen's right hand was gradually clenched with his right hand on the seat's deputy.
In his life, Tai Shi Chen, who has been through life and death countless times, has never been as nervous as he is today.
He was afraid that the adopted son in front of him would refuse, so he insisted on joining the rebels of Jiangdong to create turmoil in the world. If so...
He gradually clenched his deputy tightly, and a little struggling flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Yu also noticed the strangeness of Grand Master Chen and tentatively said: "If I reject Grand Master, Grand Master wouldn't have shot me to death in this study, right?"
“…”
Grand Master Chen looked at Zhao Yu a few deep eyes, and after breathing a long sigh, he suddenly sneered: "Don't be proud, boy. I just don't want another turmoil in my Great Jin Dynasty, so I kindly advised me, but if you are stubborn..."
He took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Yu and said seriously: "Even if I am eighty or two this year, I still have the strength to take your head at the head when the two armies are fighting!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed instead.
It is undeniable that even though Grandmaster Chen is 80 years old, he is still getting stronger. But it would be a bit too much to say that he can still take the head of the general in the chaos.
It's almost the same to replace Xue Ao.
He shook his head and said, "So far, I have never thought of being an enemy with the Grand Master, and in the future, I will not want to be an enemy with the Grand Master..."
“…”
A trace of warmth flashed in Grandmaster Chen's eyes, and then he snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, why not accept my husband's suggestion and be a prince consort?"
Zhao Yu laughed, then said in a complicated tone: "Although the Grand Tutor's proposal is good, I always feel that this is a owe to my brother... After I repelled Guan Shuo and Chen Xu in Kunyang, I met my brother once. He wanted to stop me from taking revenge at that time, why did he say that he is the legitimate son of Zhao in Luyang, so he should be responsible for the revenge. Only when he dies will this responsibility fall on me... Now, he is dead."
“…”
Master Chen's eyelids twitched slightly.
Even though he wanted to stop the adopted son in front of him from doing something, he could not speak after hearing this.
After a long silence, Grand Master Chen said in a deep voice: "I used to give you the word "Juzheng" to you, which means that you can act correctly, sit upright, and be worthy of the world. Today, I hope you... put the world first. If you insist on inheriting your brother's will and trying to destroy the country where I have been loyal to my life, I will not be as you wish!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu asked back: "Even if the people in the world are all loyal to the righteous teacher?"
“…”
Master Chen frowned slightly, stroked his beard without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu nodded in a clear way, then bowed and said, "Then let's wait until I come back from the Jiangdong Yishi Master."
"You really want to go?" Grandmaster Chen's eyes sterned.
"Taishou, you said, my brother is gone, and there is no one to restrain the generals of Jiangdong Yishi, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no bad apples and ambitious people. The Taishou does not want Jiangdong, Jiangnan and other places to become battlefields for those people to fight for power and profit... I will surrender them, so that those people will not do anything randomly."
“…”
Grand Master Chen stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then asked Zhao Yu, "What? Take that rebel army to attack my Dajin and fulfill your brother's will?"
"It depends on the public opinion in the world." Zhao Yu spread his hands: "There is a Grand Master in Handan, Brother Zou, Brother Xue, how dare I do anything randomly?"
Master Chen stroked his beard and thought about it carefully.
Considering that Jiangdong Yishi's Yishi may have no leader or implicated Jiangdong and the innocent people in Jiangnan, Grand Master Chen felt that it might be a good idea to "let the adopted son in front of him" to take over Jiangdong Yishi.
"I'm afraid this kid will...
After weighing the pros and cons, Master Chen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I hope you... won't disappoint me."
Zhao Yu bowed his hand and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, a few struggling suddenly flashed across Grandmaster Chen's face. Until he saw that Zhao Yu was about to walk out of the study, he shouted: "Wait!"
Hearing the shout, Zhao Yu stopped and turned around. He saw that Grand Master Chen had to stop talking a few times, and finally asked him with a complicated expression: "Have you achieved your wish to avenge the Zhao family in Luyang?"
As smart as Zhao Yu, he immediately understood what Grand Master Chen meant. After a brief thought, he said truthfully: "Although I have thought about killing my enemies with my own hands many times, I came one step later. 'He's indeed seriously injured by a general named Ma Cheng of Liangzhou Army. I did not do anything in this matter... The only thing I did at that time was to sit next to his couch, take off his mask, and chat with him for a few words, so that he could understand how stupid he was doing back then... that's all."
After saying that, he bowed to Grandmaster Chen, turned around and walked out of the study.
Seeing Zhao Yu's back disappearing outside the study, Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
After Zhao Yu personally admitted that the Handan Incident was his first-hand leadership, Grand Master Chen hesitated whether he should ask the true cause of Emperor Jin's death. After all, if Zhao Bohu was the former's knot, then Emperor Jin was his knot.
Now that he learned that the Emperor of Jin was not harmed by Zhao Yu, Grand Master Chen felt relieved.
After all, if we talk about other things, including the punishment of Zhao Yu leading the Handan Incident, he could use the tragic experience of the Zhao family in Luyang that year and the current crisis of the court to "the overall situation is the most important thing", then "king killing" is the last bottom line in Taishi Chen's heart.
Fortunately, his adopted son never stepped out of this line.
『……I must take advantage of the time when this kid takes over his brother’s old subordinates to deal with the Yang family in Liangzhou as soon as possible, otherwise the court will be passive…』
