Chapter 258 Kneeling and Refusing to Leave
Zhao Shuyi felt extremely ashamed. Prince Rong's family had indeed been wronged back then, but now that he was here today, he was determined to convince Liang Jingyao no matter what. This was the Zhao family's greatest hope!
"Jing Yao, although my father has committed serious crimes, you also know the power of our Zhao family. When you attack the capital, it will be much easier with the support of our Zhao family! I still hope you can reconsider." Zhao Shuyi said sincerely.
Liang Jingyao was silent for a while. Just because Emperor Liang ascended the throne smoothly back then, the importance of Grand Tutor Zhao was self-evident. But if he trusted them too easily, all the suffering his family had endured back then would have been in vain!
So, Liang Jingyao decided to make things more difficult for him and asked, "Your father has been sent to fight by Emperor Liang. He wouldn't be so shameless as to ask me to help him, would he? I'm not that stupid!"
Zhao Shuyi was very smart. He didn't say it directly. Instead, he held the letter in his hand and said, "Father's words are all in the letter. Anyway, I will definitely not let you down!"
Liang Jingyao's hands remained motionless as he refused, "Why should I believe his letter? I won't read it. Now you should go and ask Emperor Liang for help. After all, your Zhao family played an indispensable role in his becoming emperor!"
Zhao Shuyi said with deep regret, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Jingyao, if you want to kick me out, I have no complaints. It's our Zhao family's debt to you! I just hope my son can stay here, grow up safely, and be an ordinary person."
Zhao Yongchang wiped his tears and refused, "Father, please don't abandon me!"
Liang Jingyao looked at the little boy kneeling beside Zhao Shuyi. There was resentment on the little boy's young face. If he really kept this child, wouldn't he be leaving an enemy for himself?
"No! I don't keep idle people here, and your son is so young. We are busy fighting and killing, so we don't have time to take care of your son. Take your son away! Come on, show him out!" Liang Jingyao was very impatient and asked someone to drive Zhao Shuyi and his son away.
Lin Xiaoyue poured Liang Jingyao a glass of water and comforted him, "Brother Liang, don't be angry. Those who framed your family will get their comeuppance. Just wait and see!"
Liang Jingyao sighed and said, "I know, but when I see those faces, I want to tear them into pieces! You don't know that my father was originally in good health, but after being exiled to the northern border, the cold climate there has caused him great suffering. I really hope to bring him back soon."
Lin Xiaoyue asked in confusion, "Is it okay now? We've already broken off relations with Emperor Liang, so let's take him back!"
Liang Jingyao was a little moved, and hesitantly said, "You are right, but there are the Zhenbei Army stationed in the northern border. They are all troops serving the emperor. Once my father sets out, the Tiger Roar Army will have to escort him all the way. Such a large army will definitely attract the attention of the Zhenbei Army, and then a battle will be inevitable! The Zhenbei Army has too many people, almost twice as many as the Tiger Roar Army. If the Tiger Roar Army cannot defeat the Zhenbei Army, my father's life will be in danger!"
Since it concerns the safety of Prince Rong, Lin Xiaoyue also feels that it is right for Liang Jingyao to be cautious. If anything happens to Prince Rong, Liang Jingyao will probably never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
"Then we can only wait a little longer! If Brother Liang is really worried, you can let my father go to the northern border to take care of the prince's health before coming back. Here, as long as we spend money, we won't have to worry about not being able to hire a doctor." Lin Xiaoyue suggested.
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "I have thought about this, but my father will not agree. Even if the drunkard comes over, my father will drive him away and won't see him at all."
Lin Xiaoyue suddenly thought of a sentence: How pitiful are the parents in the world!
"Ah, I see! But Prince Rong shouldn't have to wait too long. Emperor Liang sent Grand Tutor Zhao to attack Yumu Kingdom, tantamount to sending him to his death. Once the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion falls, it will mean that Emperor Liang has lost a person who can threaten his power. In fact, the ministers in the court will be insecure and will no longer spend more time on the country. The demise of such a country is only a matter of time."
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "You are right. As long as we can lose the support of the people, Emperor Liang's throne will be over. Then our attack on the capital will be a piece of cake!"
At this moment, Zhan Hu walked in and said, "Master, Zhao Shuyi and his son are insisting on kneeling on the ground and refusing to leave. Do you need us to carry them away and throw them out?"
Liang Jingyao frowned, he knew that Zhao Shuyi would not be so easy to drive away!
"If they want to kneel, let them continue kneeling! My father is suffering in the northern border, let them taste the pain too!" Liang Jingyao said angrily.
Zhan Hu also felt that this was very satisfying, and agreed: "Yes, I will take my leave!"
Liang Jingyao felt very depressed. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, but saw Lin Xiaoyue staring at him.
"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?" Liang Jingyao said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "No flowers, but I see that you are soft-hearted. Do you want to keep Master Zhao's son and grandson?"
Liang Jingyao gently tapped Lin Xiaoyue's head and said with a smile, "You really can't hide anything from me! Keeping them here is just a temporary solution. There are many disciples of Grand Tutor Zhao in the court. I'm letting go of the past now and will make arrangements for the future when I return to the capital. However, if they want to stay, it's impossible not to make them suffer a little. I'm not that tolerant yet!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "That's right, let them kneel down. I'll go to Dad to help!"
Liang Jingyao stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
Under the consultation tent, Jiu Laoguai had just written a prescription for a patient when he saw Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao walking towards him, one in front and one behind.
"Jingyao, I heard that Grand Tutor Zhao's son is here? How come you still have the mood to come to me?" The drunkard looked at Liang Jingyao appraisingly.
Liang Jingyao said with a smile: "Why am I in a bad mood? I'm in a very good mood now! The Zhao family kicked me when I was down, but I never thought they would ask me for help one day!"
The drunkard asked curiously, "What are they asking you for? To not go after Emperor Liang? Or to spare the Zhao family's life when you achieve great things in the future?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "Neither. Grand Tutor Zhao was sent by Emperor Liang to attack Yumu Kingdom. Perhaps Grand Tutor Zhao also felt that this time he would not return, so he asked Shuyi to come to me, probably hoping that I would take them in and leave some bloodline for the Zhao family. The old fox really has a good plan, and I will not let them have their way!"
The drunkard slammed the table angrily and said, "Yes, give him a good beating. Master Zhao has been an official for many years and has done a lot of bad things! He deserves to have no descendants! Jingyao, don't be soft-hearted!"
