Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingya and others all agreed.
Zhao Mingzhu just sighed.
What can she do?
Unless Zhao Jingzhou and Han Yuehua agreed, if she dared to act on her own, she would only anger them both.
Zhao Mingzhu knew in her heart that her parents loved Zhao Chenhan the most.
If anyone does anything that threatens Zhao Chenhan, even if it is his own daughter, he will not be tolerated.
What's a princess?
Now Li Jingzhong still has to rely on Zhao Jingzhou's support to seize power.
So even though Zhao Mingzhu figured out a lot, she could only feel regretful.
It would be great if Zhao Lin hadn’t gotten lost.
…
"Daddy is gone?"
Fu Liqing was very disappointed when he heard that Fu Chengwang had left in a hurry.
I finally got the chance, but I can't see him.
Zhao Lin smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry. My father-in-law has already recognized me. After I finish my work here, I'll take you back to propose marriage."
"Really?" Fu Liqing asked in surprise.
"Why would I lie to you?" Zhao Lin said.
Fu Liqing was so excited that he almost cried.
Although she never regretted eloping with Zhao Lin.
But not being recognized by my father has always been a pain in my heart.
Now she can't wait to return to Beijing.
"By the way, I have some news for you too."
Fu Liqing kept it a secret: "Guess what I found out?"
Zhao Lin's mind turned, and he said, "Is it related to Zhao Chenhan?"
"Yes. His father was a poor scholar. He fell in love with Han Yuehua in his early years, but was opposed by the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. Han Yuehua even threatened to commit suicide, but it didn't work. In the end, she married Zhao Jingzhou." Fu Liqing said.
Zhao Lin immediately understood: "So this is Bai Yueguang's son?"
"White Moonlight?"
Fu Liqing didn't understand the meaning of the word, but that didn't stop her from understanding: "It's quite fitting. It's said that the scholar's wife died young, and he himself was seriously ill and dying. He had no other relatives, so he entrusted the child to Han Yuehua."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "I understand now. I never thought Han Yuehua had the talent to be a romantic heroine."
Fu Liqing laughed and said, "Where did you hear these new words?"
Zhao Lin asked, "Did Zhao Jingzhou never doubt it?"
Fu Liqing said, "Han Yuehua kept it a secret. If we hadn't found the old maid who worked for her and threatened her family, she wouldn't have revealed it. And if a man could still suspect it was an illegitimate child, then when you first went missing, Han Yuehua was heartbroken and it's understandable that she would adopt a child. So Zhao Jingzhou didn't ask much."
"wrong."
Zhao Lin shook his head: "It's not that simple. If that were the case, Zhao Jingzhou shouldn't be so fond of Zhao Chenhan."
Fu Liqing was surprised and asked, "Are you saying that Zhao Jingzhou still has secrets that we don't know about?"
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "What could make you feel that a child is closer to you than your own son?"
Fu Liqing said: "Of course it's another biological son."
Fu Liqing was suddenly shocked: "No way? Zhao Chenhan is Zhao Jingzhou's illegitimate son?"
Zhao Lin said, "That's possible. Think about it. Zhao Jingzhou was able to stay in Zhenbeiguan for twenty years, forcing the Northern Di to not enter the pass and move south. How could he be so shrewd and calculating? How could he be deceived so easily by Han Yuehua? I suspect that the so-called Bai Yueguang's son is fake. It was a play put on by Zhao Jingzhou and that poor scholar, just to make Han Yuehua accept the child."
Fu Liqing was shocked and said, "Isn't this too much?"
Zhao Lin sneered, "What's so excessive? They're deceiving each other, competing to see who's the better of them. So far, it seems Han Yuehua has lost."
In this society where blood ties are more important than anything else, there is only one reason why Zhao Jingzhou regards an adopted son as more important than his biological son.
That is, the adopted son is another biological son.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain all of Zhao Jingzhou's actions.
"People say that Zhao Jingzhou loves Han Yuehua and doesn't want to find a concubine, and that's why he has a good reputation. It turns out that it's not that he doesn't want to find one, but that he does it secretly."
Fu Liqing said angrily: "There is no good man in this world."
Zhao Lin touched his nose: "I'm not?"
Fu Liqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think you're a good man if you kidnap someone's daughter?"
"Haha." Zhao Lin laughed.
Fu Liqing said, "It's a pity that there is no evidence. Otherwise, if the news that Zhao Chenhan is Zhao Jingzhou's illegitimate son was passed on to Han Yuehua, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would definitely be in turmoil."
Since Zhao Lin chose to be the enemy of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Fu Liqing would naturally help him to deal with the enemy.
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Indeed. So we must find that scholar as soon as possible. As long as we find him, all the mysteries will be solved."
Fu Liqing said: "I have arranged for someone to look for him. I hope Zhao Jingzhou didn't kill anyone to silence him."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "As expected, I have a good wife at home. Everything is arranged properly."
Zhao Lin now has few trustworthy people under his command. If Fu Liqing hadn't helped, Zhao Lin would have to arrange this matter himself.
He is now very busy dealing with the affairs of Qingzhou and managing the military, so it would be great to have someone to help him.
Zhao Lin added, "Whether there's evidence or not, let's spread the word first and let Han Yuehua know. Let her help us find it."
…
Imperial Palace.
Cheng** is admiring the beautiful stones.
Zhu Zhongyan came over and said, "Your Majesty, good news."
Cheng** said happily, "Another beautiful stone has been delivered?"
Zhu Zhongyan's mouth twitched, and he said, "No, it's about the Qingzhou rebels."
Cheng** immediately lost interest: "Go ahead."
Zhu Zhongyan said, "With the support of Lords Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang, Zhao Lin mobilized his 20,000 troops and defeated the rebels in a single afternoon. He captured the rebel leader, Lao Debiao, and a dozen others, both large and small. They are now being taken to prison carts and are heading to the capital."
Cheng ** was a little surprised and asked, "So, the Qingzhou rebels have been pacified by Zhao Lin?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhongyan said.
"snort!"
Cheng **'s face suddenly darkened and he cursed, "Those rubbish like Ma Dachang, as well as useless people like Li Chengqian and Shao Yutang, shouldn't they have let Zhao Lin go earlier?"
Zhu Zhongyan took the opportunity to say, "They just can't stand seeing others prosper. Zhao Lin is so young, but he's already a prefect. If he makes more military achievements and is employed by His Majesty, he'll rise to prominence in the future. How can they afford to live such a good life?"
Cheng ** nodded: "You are right, they just can't stand seeing Zhao Lin get ahead. The more they can't stand seeing him get ahead, the better I will treat him. Draft an edict."
The scholar serving nearby immediately prepared pen and ink.
"Qingzhou Prefect and Garrison Commander Zhao Lin, for your meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, is rewarded..."
Cheng** frowned and asked, "What's the good reward?"
Zhu Zhongyan said: "Rewards are nothing more than promotion and wealth."
Cheng** hesitated and said, "The next step up from prefect is governor, and he's so young..."
Zhu Zhongyan smiled and said, "Young people are more motivated. But your Majesty's considerations make sense, and suppressing the rebellion has nothing to do with him being a prefect. It would be better to reward him with a military post."
Cheng** said, "That's right. Let's promote him to General Xuanwu and let him continue to lead his 20,000 troops."
