Chapter 635 Wei Qing’s Plan
Yan Zhuo was lucky. He was still alive after the explosion and was carried away for treatment.
However, having one breath left is not a good thing.
Yan Zhuo violated the Yan family rules and must be punished according to the rules. The punishment will not be light. Even if he survives, he will have to suffer the torture again.
No one cared about Yan Zhuo.
Zhao Shu respectfully invited Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye to the living room.
The Zhou Emperor also went.
Emperor Zhou still did not reveal his identity and just sat in the living room.
Now, the result is obvious, and Zhao Shu and Emperor Zhou can no longer pretend to be stupid.
However, this traitor doesn't have any special abilities, so there's no need to keep him around.
Of course, the best thing to do is to hand the person over to the Yan family and not offend them.
Zhao Shu looked at Yan Xiaoduan with a sincere expression: "It's because I'm shortsighted and don't know how to be friendly with people..."
"You are quite stupid." Yan Xiaoduan said bluntly.
Zhao Shu: “…”
He took a deep breath and said, "I was also deceived by that traitor from the Yan family..."
"The prince's title is 'Rui'. I thought he was very wise, but it turns out he is so easily deceived?" Yan Xiaoduan looked shocked.
But he remembered that Zhao Shu was Lao Tang's enemy.
Now that he had the opportunity to help Lao Tang get revenge, he certainly wouldn't let it go.
Zhao Shu's face looked very unhappy.
Father is here.
Young Master Yan didn't give him any face at all. Saying such things just made things worse, and the impression he left on his father became even worse.
Even though he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it under the circumstances.
He forced a shamefaced smile, "It's my fault. How about Young Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan stay in the capital for a while, giving me a chance to make amends?"
"We are here to deal with the traitor. Now that we have caught the traitor, we should rush back to the Yan family. Prince Rui wants us to stay in the capital. Does he want my fourth uncle and I to be blamed by the head of the family?" Yan Xiaoduan said.
"That's not what I meant. If I really cause you two to be blamed, then I will be guilty of a great sin." Zhao Shu said hurriedly.
The conversation between Yan Xiaoduan and Zhao Shu ended in a bad mood.
After Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye left, Emperor Zhou also left.
"Father," Zhao Shu called out hurriedly, "I'll take you there..."
Emperor Zhou raised his hand to stop his action and walked away without looking back.
As soon as Emperor Zhou left, Zhao Shu's body softened and he sat back in his chair.
The emperor didn't look back, and he could imagine the disappointment in the emperor's eyes.
This time, he completely disappointed his father.
What a bullshit god!
Found him a traitor from the Yan family!
Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was also disliked by his father!
Zhao Shu was so angry that he stood up and kicked the chair hard.
…
Yan Xiaoduan was about to leave the capital, but he still went to see Tang Li and say goodbye to her.
Marquis' Mansion.
"Lao Tang, you didn't see it. I almost died of laughter. Yan Zhuo fired the cannon with full confidence, but ended up blowing himself away."
"Bang! Just like that, he flew out and landed on the ground!"
Yan Xiaoduan described the situation with his hands and feet, completely lacking the composure that Zhao Shu had seen him show.
In front of Tangli, he was still a child and did not hide it at all.
Tang Li had heard about this matter a long time ago, but after listening to Yan Xiaoduan's vivid description, he still found it very interesting.
Yan Zhuo really deserves it, he got what he deserves!
Yan Zhuo was a traitor to the Yan family and didn't know how to make firearms. But in the novel, this man was actually favored by Zhao Shu, enjoying endless wealth and glory. In the end, he helped Zhao Shu unify the Three Kingdoms and left his name in history.
Tangli sighed again, it turned out that the way of heaven was really unfair.
Tang Li originally thought that Zhu Chunjiao's Heavenly Dao had disappeared, and she was no longer the Child of Destiny, and the plot in the novel would not happen. However, Zhao Shu still found Yan Zhuo, and fortunately, Doctor Su saved the head of the Yan family, changing the course of events, otherwise the plot would have overlapped with the novel.
It seems that Zhu Chunjiao's heavenly way may not have completely disappeared.
Could it be that...
Tangli has a guess.
Zhu Chunjiao is the heroine of the novel, and Zhao Shu is the hero. Because it is a novel with a strong female character, Zhu Chunjiao is the child of luck. Zhu Chunjiao was abandoned, so could it be that the luck was transferred to Zhao Shu?
However, no matter who this Heavenly Dao is in, it will be abolished with her presence.
She just needs to be careful.
"Lao Tang, I'm leaving. I don't know when we'll see each other again. I really don't want to leave you~" Yan Xiaoduan said.
Tangli was also feeling a little sad.
Yan Xiaoduan was a boy she liked, so she bought him to be her servant. Even though he was best at eating, Tangli still indulged him...
Yan Xiaoduan now has to take over the burden of the Yan family and cannot be free. Now that he leaves, I really don’t know when we will meet again.
Tangli touched his head and said, "All good things must come to an end. We will meet again if we are destined to."
Yan Xiaoduan nodded, chin raised: "Lao Tang, the next time we meet, I won't be the same Yan Xiaoduan I am now. By then, I will definitely be very powerful."
Tangli chuckled: "Let's wait and see."
Yan Xiaoduan was stared at by her. Lao Tang looked at him with such gentleness and doting eyes that made him feel warm in his heart.
He must work hard to become excellent, become a big boss, and become Lao Tang's pride.
When Lao Tang needs help, he can help, and he wants to be Lao Tang's backer!
Yan Xiaoduan's heart was full of ambition.
Yan Xiaoduan waited until evening until Wei Ziang and Xu Jue came back. After saying goodbye to them, he left.
Tang Li and Wei Qing stood at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and watched him go away.
Tang Li leaned her head on Wei Qing, who hugged her. Knowing that she couldn't bear to leave Yan Xiaoduan, he comforted her silently.
Two handsome young men followed him all the way and sent him far away.
"Brother Xiaoduan, please write to us often." Wei Ziang said.
"Oh, man, why are you so fussy?" Yan Xiaoduan said with disgust.
Wei Ziang smiled gently: "I can't bear to leave you."
Yan Xiaoduan's eyes were slightly red: "I can't bear to leave you, Lao Tang, and the big guy..."
However, all good things must come to an end.
Yan Xiaoduan walked forward quickly, not daring to look back.
The next day.
Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye, taking the seriously injured Yan Zhuo, got on a carriage and returned to the Yan family.
Yan Xiaoduan kept lifting the curtain and looking back, his eyes wide open.
"Are you so reluctant to leave? Is the capital so fun?" asked Fourth Master Yan.
Yan Xiaoduan said, "Actually, it's not the capital that's fun, and it's not the capital that I'm reluctant to leave, but the people."
"People?" Fourth Master Yan asked in confusion.
Yan Xiaoduan asked, "Yes, I can't bear to leave so many people. Does Fourth Uncle have someone he likes?"
A face emerged in Fourth Master Yan's mind. When he first saw that face, he was completely captivated, his heart pounding...
Damn it!
What does he want that person to do!
nausea!
Fourth Master Yan's expression froze, and he said coldly, "No!"
Yan Xiaoduan didn't notice anything unusual about him and just watched him eagerly.
Goodbye, Lao Tang.
See you later.
…
Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye left.
However, the aftermath caused turmoil in the court.
The emperor removed Zhao Shu from his position as commander of the Firearms Department.
According to the Yan family rules, gunpowder cannot be used to make firearms.
Yan Zhuo is a traitor. If Da Zhou dares to use things made by a traitor, it would be tantamount to offending the Yan family.
Da Zhou did not dare to offend the Yan family.
Therefore, the Firearms Department was also closed down.
Zhao Shu's complacency was gone.
As majestic as Zhao Shu was before, he is now in such a miserable state.
Prince Rui's Mansion, which used to be bustling with guests, has now become deserted.
In the palace.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is asking for an audience outside the palace." Eunuch Deshun reported.
Emperor Zhou looked worried: "No."
This time, he was completely disappointed with his son!
He gave him chance after chance, but he messed it up every time. It can only be said that this is a hopeless case!
"What has the Sixth Brother been doing recently?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"The Sixth Prince is in the Hanlin Academy." De Shun said.
Emperor Zhou was somewhat surprised. "Still in the Hanlin Academy? I remember he's been there for almost a year, right?"
His son has always been playful and restless, so he was really shocked that he could stay for a whole year.
"Your Majesty, yes, he is good friends with Lord Wu's two adopted sons. Those two work in the Hanlin Academy, and the Sixth Prince goes in and out with them." Deshun continued to report.
Emperor Zhou had a thoughtful expression.
After a moment, he said, "I will sleep at Concubine Liang's place tonight."
At night, Emperor Zhou went to Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang has been in a good mood recently.
Concubine Wang is her mortal enemy, and the Third Prince is her son's competitor for the position of crown prince. Naturally, Concubine Liang is well aware of all these developments.
Previously, because of the matter of the Firearms Department, Zhao Shu was highly valued by His Majesty, and Concubine Wang was also particularly favored.
Since Concubine Wang was favored, Concubine Liang naturally had to suffer and had to endure it in silence.
Now, we really see his building rise and fall!
She originally thought that Zhao Shu had taken advantage of the Yan family, but now she realized that the person she invited was a traitor of the Yan family and had offended the Yan family. It really made her laugh to death.
Princess Liang was in a good mood, and she looked very energetic and exceptionally beautiful.
She served the emperor with utmost devotion, and the two of them were so affectionate and loving that it seemed as if they had returned to the time when she had just entered the palace and was the only favored emperor.
"Jingxuan has made a lot of progress. He has been in the Hanlin Academy for almost a year..." said Emperor Zhou.
"You're not a child anymore, you have to make some progress." Concubine Liang said with a smile, feeling somewhat relieved.
"He's certainly not young anymore, almost eighteen. It's time for him to share my worries." Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment. "Bandits are rampant in Liangzhou. There's a village called Tianba Village that has gathered ten thousand bandits. They're so arrogant, even the county magistrate and prefect are helpless. I'd like to entrust the task of suppressing the bandits to Jingxuan. What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Princess Liang was suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts.
The mountains and forests of Liangzhou are treacherous, and the bandits are fierce. Jingxuan has little experience and has never suffered any hardship. He will definitely suffer and be in danger if he goes there. He might even be in danger of his life...
He was her only son, so naturally she was reluctant to let him go.
However, he also knew that His Majesty was disappointed with Zhao Shu, so he valued Jing Xuan and intended to test him.
This is a rare opportunity.
If Jing Xuan can handle this matter well, he will have a chance to become the crown prince!
The position of crown prince is bound to be full of difficulties and obstacles.
If I don't fight now, I will be at the mercy of others in the future.
All thoughts are just a thought.
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "It's all up to your majesty to arrange."
Soon the news reached Concubine Wang's ears, and her face turned pale.
Your Majesty is intending to train that kid Zhao Jingxuan!
Shu'er really made him mad!
Hou Mansion.
There were only Tang Li and Wei Qing in the room. The door was closed and the couple were talking in private.
Wei Qing talked about Zhao Jingxuan.
Tang Li raised an eyebrow: "It seems that the emperor is completely disappointed with Zhao Shu. Jing Xuan is a promising kid."
Wei Qing was also in a good mood. Before, Zhao Shu had been showing off in front of him every day. Even though he didn't take Zhao Shu seriously, he was still annoyed to death by a fly buzzing in front of him every day.
Now, the flies are finally gone.
"Husband, what are your plans for rehabilitating the Xiao family?" Tang Li asked.
Ever since she knew that it was Emperor Zhou who killed the Xiao family, her husband's previous plan was put on hold, for fear of being discovered.
However, Tang Li knew that her husband had not done nothing and must have his own plans.
"If the emperor exonerated the Xiao family, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?" Wei Qing said, "It's basically impossible for the current emperor to admit his mistakes. The only way is to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne..."
Tang Li nodded. So this was what her husband planned.
Make a deal with a prince, help him ascend the throne, and then redress the Xiao family...
This is indeed the best solution at the moment.
In fact, there is another option, which is for her husband to become the emperor himself.
Her husband has royal blood and is the crown prince, so it is understandable that he wants to be the emperor.
If her husband wants, she will also help him.
However, it was obvious that her husband was not interested in the throne.
In fact, Tang Li didn't want her husband to be the emperor.
She just wanted to live a free and easy life with her husband.
"Husband, did you choose Zhao Jingxuan?" Tang Li asked.
Wei Qing nodded: "I hope this child won't let me down."
