Chapter 538 Zhang Zhiyao's Letter of Submission
Zhang Dong was questioned to the point of doubting his life, but Zhang Zhiyao didn't believe him at all. After a tantrum, he sent all the servants out of the room.
"Dad, why are you so serious? Don't scare me. I really changed. I..." Zhang Dong saw Zhang Zhiyao's solemn face and subconsciously took a step back.
He just couldn't change his nonchalant attitude anytime soon. He really had no ill intentions that day!
Besides, the Shen family was just exiled here, why is his father so afraid of them?
Zhang Zhiyao felt extremely irritated when he saw his cowardly look. He took a deep breath and calmed down. "Have you heard the rumor that the former crown prince is not dead?"
"Of course you must have heard of it. Mr. Qi's manifesto has been published. There should be everyone in Dajin who doesn't know about it," Zhang Dong blurted out.
Zhang Zhiyao pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice: "The former crown prince is in northern Hubei!"
"Ah" Zhang Dong opened his mouth blankly, "Isn't this a rumor?"
Liang Cheng personally came out to refute the rumor, could it be true?
Zhang Zhiyao secretly held his forehead. It was his fault for giving birth to such a troublesome and hopelessly stupid son. It seemed that his decision was right.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyao stared at Zhang Dong solemnly and said, "You just need to know that the former prince is in northern Hubei, and that he is protecting the Shen family. Stay away from them in the future. Remember?"
Zhang Dong was about to nod out of habit, but he immediately raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Zhiyao in disbelief, "No, Dad, you are the emperor's man. If the former crown prince is really in northern Hubei, shouldn't you..."
Should we report this to the court, accuse Liang Cheng of treason, and then replace him?
Unfortunately, Zhang Dong didn't have the chance to say what he wanted to say next.
Zhang Zhiyao suddenly roared, "Shut up! Don't ever say anything like that again! Otherwise, I'll lock you up in this mansion forever and you won't be allowed to go anywhere!"
My son is so stupid, he is so tired!
Is there any need to explain the current situation? Sheng Zhan has already given up on northern Hubei!
If he, a nominally appointed official of the imperial court, fails to understand the current situation, then he will not only be labeled a traitor, but will be killed to silence him!
Before, Zhang Zhiyao had never thought of going against Liang Cheng. He was just making a public gesture to let the court know that he was still in control.
But recently there has been no news from the court, and he has become an isolated minister. Zhang Zhiyao knows very well that Liang Cheng has not touched him yet because the Hubei Northern Army has many more important things to do, and he did not cause them trouble before, so they let him go temporarily.
Zhang Dong trembled all over after being yelled at. Seeing that Zhang Zhiyao was very angry, he quickly shrank his neck and kept silent.
Zhang Zhiyao took several deep breaths before leaving, saying, "You are not allowed to leave the house for the next few days!"
He was really afraid that his foolish son would disrupt his plans, which would be too late for regret!
Zhang Zhiyao asked someone to prepare a car as soon as he went out, as he was going to the army.
"Master, if you go now, I'm afraid the general won't have time to see you," Zhang Zhiyao's attendant said cautiously.
Zhang Zhiyao closed his eyes tiredly, "He will."
After all, he was going there to show his loyalty, and Liang Cheng would definitely not refuse.
In the Hubei Northern Army, Sheng Ze and Liang Cheng were discussing the recruitment plan for the Hubei Northern Army when they heard a personal guard outside the house report, "General, Lord Zhang wants to see you."
"What is Zhang Zhiyao doing here?" Liang Cheng raised his eyes, glanced at Shengze, then lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the map of northern Hubei.
"Chapter 8 is here! Ahem, well, I still owe you 13 chapters, but you have to believe me, I'll definitely pay it back!"
