The Abandoned Son of a Prince

Zhao Lin transmigrated to the Great Qi Dynasty, a period never before seen in history, becoming the long-lost true young master of the Zhenbei Marquis's family.

Although his predecessor w...

Chapter 284: Biological and Adoptive Children

"What?"

Everyone was horrified.

Li Jingzhong was the main general in suppressing the rebellion. He hadn't even gone there yet, but the rebellion had already been suppressed?

Zhao Chenhan was very surprised.

Because he had to escort the coffin, his speed was slow, so it took him five days to reach the capital.

But I didn't expect that it would arrive at the same time as the news of the rebellion being quelled.

"Who did it?" Li Jingzhong asked immediately.

"The prefect of Qingzhou is Zhao Lin." said the scholar.

"Is it him?" Li Jingzhong's face changed.

As the youngest number one scholar and the youngest prefect, Li Jingzhong had also thought about winning over Zhao Lin.

However, Zhao Lin always refused Li Jingzhong's attempts to win him over. In addition, due to the conflict between Zhao Chenhan and Zhao Lin, Li Jingzhong also gave up on winning him over.

Moreover, Zhao Lin went to Qingzhou to serve as the prefect, far away from the central government, and was of little help to Li Jingzhong, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But I didn't expect that I would hear Zhao Lin's name again in this matter.

Li Jingzhong's face immediately darkened. He asked, "What's going on? Doesn't Zhao Lin never go to the military camp?"

The scholar quickly replied, "Lords Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang are in Qingzhou. Upon hearing the news of General Ma's death, they feared the rebels would become more powerful, so they ordered Zhao Lin to take command of the army to suppress the rebellion. Zhao Lin, however, managed to defeat the rebel camp in just one afternoon and capture the leader alive. The two gentlemen are now personally escorting the prisoner carriage back to the capital."

“Damn it!”

Li Jingzhong cursed.

He could have used this opportunity to seize control of the military power, but now he has no chance.

Zhao Chenhan noticed a word: "Capture alive? Lao Debiao is not dead?"

The scholar said, "Your Highness, he's not dead. Not only is Lao Debiao alive, but more than a dozen rebel leaders, both large and small, are also alive. They were all captured alive by Zhao Lin and are being brought to the capital."

Zhao Chenhan's heart was pounding.

What's going on with Zhao Lin?

Lao Debiao saw with his own eyes that they killed Ma Dada.

Zhao Lin actually didn't kill Lao Debiao.

If he were to go to Beijing and meet people, and talk nonsense, how would I explain it?

I must kill him before anyone else does!

Zhao Chenhan made up his mind.

Li Jingzhong took a deep breath and said, "That orphan ruined all the good opportunities. Well, there are so many people rebelling now, let's wait for another opportunity."

With Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang around, Zhao Lin had all the reasons to take over the army to quell the rebellion, and no one could say anything.

"Oh, there's a little episode here."

The scholar said, "Originally, the commander of the army was the guerrilla general Yang Nantian. He didn't want Zhao Lin to lead the troops, so he volunteered to quell the rebellion himself. However, he was ambushed and injured along the way, and was forced to hand over the military command to Zhao Lin."

"What a waste!" Zhao Chenhan couldn't help but curse.

Ma Changshan was ambushed and died. Yang Nantian saw it with his own eyes. He didn't learn his lesson and was simply courting death.

"So, Zhao Lin's ability is even stronger."

Li Jingzhong analyzed the situation rationally and said, "They've lost three generals in a row. Clearly, the rebels are quite strong, but they were all defeated in a single afternoon by Zhao Lin. What methods did he use?"

The scholar said, "I am asking someone to find out."

Li Jingzhong nodded and said to Zhao Mingxiao, "Brother Changda has been avenged. We should thank Zhao Lin very much."

Zhao Mingxiao opened his mouth with mixed feelings.

The same is true for Zhao Mingzhu and other women.

Just now they were all calling for the killing of Zhao Lin, but in the blink of an eye he became their benefactor.

Li Jingzhong added, "It seems that it wasn't Zhao Lin who was colluding with the rebels, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the rebel leader here alive."

Zhao Chenhan was so angry that his teeth were itching.

He didn't understand what made Zhao Lin so confident that Lao Debiao wouldn't tell the truth.

But no matter what Zhao Lin thought, Zhao Chenhan couldn't let Lao Debiao speak.

Zhao Chenhan said, "If Lao Debiao arrives in the capital, the worst he'll do is behead him. Your Highness, I want to kill him myself, to avenge my brother-in-law and my lost ear."

Li Jingzhong thought for a moment and said, "He's just a small rebel. If you want to kill him, just kill him. But you have to do it cleanly so no one finds out."

Zhao Chenhan said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't cause any trouble."

Han Yuehua was in a complicated mood.

Just now she wanted to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice and let Li Jingzhong kill Zhao Lin.

But he didn't expect that in just a short while, he would receive news of Zhao Linping's rebellion.

Han Yuehua gathered her thoughts and said, "No matter what, the rebellion has finally been put down. Han'er doesn't need to go to Qingzhou anymore. He can just stay in the capital after making some arrangements."

Li Jingzhong said: "I will find a good position for him."

Wait until we return to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Zhao Chenhan said: "Mom, I still want to go to Qingzhou."

Han Yuehua sighed and said, "Zhao Lin is a born lowly person. Don't compare yourself to him. Stay in the capital, the closer you are to the emperor, the better your future will be. If your brother-in-law starts a fight and you're away and can't come back, wouldn't that be a waste of such a great opportunity?"

Zhao Chenhan suddenly realized: "I was wrong."

Han Yuehua said comfortedly, "I'm glad you understand. The most urgent matter is your brother-in-law. When he succeeds, your father will be the King of Zhenbei, and you will be the prince, the future Nine Ministers. Even if Zhao Lin has great ability, he can't surpass you."

Zhao Chenhan said obediently, "It's all up to mother to arrange."

After Zhao Chenhan left, Zhao Mingyu said, "Zhao Lin is so amazing. It's really unexpected."

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Mingyue both nodded.

Only Zhao Mingya was unconvinced and said, "It's just good luck. If Chen Han had such luck, he would have put down the rebellion long ago."

Han Yuehua glanced at Zhao Mingya indifferently.

Zhao Lin's methods were beyond her expectations.

The rebels that caused the Ma Changda brothers to be defeated one after another were easily pacified by Zhao Lin. It must be said that Zhao Lin's methods were extraordinary.

Now Zhao Lin has Zhu Zhongyan as his internal support and Li Xingye as his external backer. In addition, he is the prefect of Qingzhou and holds military power in his hands. It seems that he is out of control.

Compared with Zhao Lin, Zhao Chenhan is indeed far behind.

But Han Yuehua really couldn't get close to her own son.

She put all her thoughts on Zhao Chenhan.

"It's a pity that Zhao Lin doesn't want to come back, otherwise if he and Chen Han joined forces, our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would really have to be changed to Zhenbei Prince Mansion." Zhao Mingzhu sighed.

Zhao Mingyue said, "It's better if he doesn't come back, otherwise who will be the crown prince?"

The women nodded in unison.

There is only one Crown Prince. If you want Zhao Lin to come back, you must give him the position of Crown Prince. Where would that put Zhao Chenhan?

In their hearts, Zhao Chenhan is still closer.

"But Daddy really wants him back."

Zhao Mingyu said, "Don't forget, Dad values ​​him very much now. If he knew that he is also capable of leading troops, Dad would definitely be very happy."

Han Yuehua's face darkened and she snorted coldly, "If he's disobedient and unfilial, what good is his ability? And who knows how he managed to put down the rebellion? Maybe he's colluding with the rebels, which is how he was able to put it down so smoothly."
