"What?"
Han Yuehua thought that her mood swings and health had been unwell for the past two days, and she started to hear auditory hallucinations.
She glanced at the three sisters Zhao Mingyue beside her and found that they also had confused and surprised expressions on their faces, as if they were also hallucinating.
Han Yuehua rubbed her ears vigorously and asked Zhao Chenhan, "Can you say it again?"
Zhao Chenhan said, "I want to work for my elder brother and learn from him."
"no!"
Han Yuehua immediately objected: "You can ask anyone you want to learn from, but not him."
Zhao Chenhan insisted, "Big Brother has been promoted four times in two years, from a commoner to the governor of the national river, and from a first-rank official, isn't this ability worth learning from?"
Of course, Zhao Chenhan didn't dare to say that it was Emperor Chengping who ordered him to serve under Zhao Lin.
You can only find other reasons.
Han Yuehua objected, "It's just a mean-spirited way of flattering others. What's the point of learning it? If you want to learn it, anyone in the court can do it. Ask your father to ask for it himself. No one will refuse, but definitely not him."
Zhao Chenhan asked, "When I approached Fu Chengwang, didn't he refuse?"
"you?"
Han Yuehua was furious, but facing her beloved son, she couldn't bear to scold him. She could only scold her daughters: "Are you all dumb? Just watching and not saying anything?"
Zhao Mingyue then spoke: "Chenhan, mother is right. If you want to learn, any senior official in the court can do it. People like Fu Chengwang are still a minority. Why do you have to choose Zhao Lin?"
Zhao Mingxiao continued, "Yes, everyone knows how Zhao Lin got promoted. It's nothing more than bullying the weak and fawning over the strong. It's not worth learning from."
Zhao Mingyu followed up with, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry, just follow the steps."
Zhao Mingya followed her three sisters and said, "Yes, Zhao Lin's rise is as rapid as his fall. He never knows when he'll be thrown into the prison and never get out. You might be slower, but you're more cautious. Why rush it?"
Zhao Chenhan felt bitter at the advice of his four sisters.
Of course he knew that he couldn't be impatient, as Zhao Lin's success could not be replicated.
But now that things have come to this, it is no longer up to him to decide.
Zhao Chenhan said, "Mother, my four sisters, you are all right. But I think the misunderstanding between us and my eldest brother should be resolved. We let it go before, but now my eldest brother is the governor of the river and has the title of minister, a first-rank official. If he really wants to make things difficult for us, it will be difficult for father to deal with it, let alone other things."
Zhao Chenhan looked as if he was ready to sacrifice himself. "If I go to him, he'll just embarrass me and won't cause any trouble for Dad. Once he's vented his anger, maybe he can reconcile with his family."
Han Yuehua, Zhao Mingyue and the other two sisters remained silent.
What Zhao Chenhan said was true.
Zhao Lin is now in charge of the country's rivers. Everything else is easy, but his control over grain transportation is very serious.
As long as Zhao Lin makes some random moves and causes problems with the food arriving at Zhenbei Pass on time, the entire Zhenbei Pass will collapse.
This is also why the National River Governor, who is only an official in charge of managing rivers, surpasses all other governors and becomes a first-rank official.
food!
This is the lifeline of the country!
It is in the hands of the Governor of the River.
Han Yuehua said comfortingly, "You've grown up and know how to share the burden of the family. This is a good thing, and I'm very happy. But there are many ways to prevent Zhao Lin from causing trouble. There's no need to go to that rebellious son. He will harm you."
Zhao Chenhan's heart ached, but there was no other way. He had to go, so he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother. Big brother is definitely not that kind of person."
"Humph, of course not?" Zhao Mingxiao snorted coldly, "If he wasn't that kind of person, why would he kill Dada?"
Zhao Chenhan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Zhao Mingyue advised, "Zhao Lin is a sinister and vicious man who will take revenge for any slight. You can't go."
Zhao Chenhan was anxious, but didn't know what to say.
At this time, Butler Fang hurried over to report: "The eldest lady is here."
Zhao Mingzhu walked in quickly. Before she could say anything, Zhao Mingya said, "Come quickly, big sister. Chen Han insists on going to Zhao Lin's place. Please persuade him."
Zhao Mingzhu was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Why do you want to persuade me? Isn't it nice to go there?"
"He will kill Chen Han." Zhao Mingya pouted and said, "Zhao Lin even killed my third brother-in-law. He has a vicious mind. We can't let Chen Han go."
Zhao Mingzhu's mind raced as she said, "But I have to go, right?"
Zhao Chenhan was so shocked that he couldn't even keep his smile.
Zhao Mingzhu gave Zhao Chenhan a meaningful look and said, "If I don't go, with Zhao Lin's mind and means, he will definitely cause trouble for Dad. If Chenhan goes to his place, he will focus on Chenhan, and Dad will be safe."
Zhao Chenhan breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "Yes, I think so too."
Han Yuehua said angrily: "Zhenbei Pass is the first line of defense against the Northern Di people. It involves the safety of the country. How dare he cause trouble?"
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Mother, don't underestimate Zhao Lin. With his skills, he can definitely do it."
Han Yuehua was angry and then silent.
Zhao Mingya quickly said, "But Chen Han is currently working in the Hanlin Academy, so how can he go to Zhao Lin's place?"
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Then resign from the Hanlin Academy."
"This...will the emperor agree to it?" Zhao Mingyue asked.
Zhao Mingzhu just smiled and said, "After Chenhan goes to Zhao Lin, be nicer and more humble. Even if Zhao Lin is embarrassed, he won't kill you."
"Yes." Zhao Chenhan said.
Han Yuehua angrily said, "I disagree! Chen Han is the heir of the Marquisate, how can he serve under that rebellious son?"
Zhao Mingzhu said coldly, "Mother, Chen Han has been his subordinate for a long time. The deputy inspector of the Flower and Stone Commission two years ago, and the deputy governor of Qingzhou last year, weren't they both Zhao Lin's subordinates? You are too prejudiced against Zhao Lin! If you had listened to me earlier, why would it be like this today?"
