"hehe!"
Pang Zhuo sneered twice and said, "So what if they have different opinions? Just ask yourself, who in this world has Zhao Lin's skills? In the entire Daqi, there are tens of millions of people, but there is only one person like him. It's a pity. If I had known him earlier, I would have married Jiao'er to him, and not let that old man Fu Chengwang get away with it."
Zhao Jingzhou's expression changed at this point: "Old Master, do you think so highly of Zhao Lin?"
Pang Zhuo said indifferently: "Zhao Lin is qualified."
Zhao Jingzhou said, "But he acted too aggressively, and sooner or later he will suffer the consequences."
Pang Zhuo said with disdain, "If you are here just to slander Zhao Lin, you can leave now."
Zhao Jingzhou then said, "Old Master, you have misunderstood. I am only speaking the truth. Okay, now let me tell you why I came here. I want to arrange an early wedding for Han'er and the others."
Pang Zhuo snorted coldly, "Humph! His reputation is already tarnished. How can I let this old man marry Jiao'er to him?"
Zhao Jingzhou said, "Han'er is kind-hearted by nature, and he was just impulsive. There was no relationship between him and Rong Fei. He just wanted to win Rong Fei over to gain merit with Prince Yu, and he had no other intentions."
"Really? But why did the news I heard say that the two of them were caught in bed together by the Emperor after they had taken off their clothes?"
Pang Zhuo glanced at Zhao Jingzhou calmly and said, "Zhao Jingzhou, I personally promoted you. Do you think I'm already senile and confused?"
Zhao Jingzhou said quickly, "Old Master, please calm down. I didn't mean to lie. Han'er is too soft-hearted and easily deceived. His original intention was good. He wanted to win over Concubine Rong and open the palace gates at a critical moment. However, he was too young after all, and was eager to make a contribution, so he was deceived by Concubine Rong."
After all, it was someone else's fault and had nothing to do with Zhao Chenhan.
Pang Zhuo just sneered.
Zhao Jingzhou asked, "What exactly does the old man mean? Is this marriage going to happen or not?"
Pang Zhuo has a high position and rich experience, but he has not led troops for many years.
However, Zhao Jingzhou is currently the number one general of Daqi, so after compromising, he became impatient and straightened his back to ask.
Pang Zhuo said calmly, "You can get married, but you must have a child immediately after the wedding. If it's a son, he will be made the Crown Prince immediately. You can send him to me to teach personally, and Zhao Chenhan should not interfere."
This is because the overall situation must be resolved, but he looks down on Zhao Chenhan, so he simply lets him give birth to a son and kick him away, and when the grandson grows up, he will directly become the master of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
As for Zhao Chenhan, he can go wherever it is cooler.
Zhao Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Just do as the old man says. But the old man has misunderstood Han'er, and he will understand in the future."
Pang Zhuo asked, "When are you going to set the date?"
Zhao Jingzhou said, "December 18th is a good day."
Pang Zhuo nodded: "Okay."
After the marriage was settled, Zhao Jingzhou felt relieved and asked, "Old Master thinks so highly of Zhao Lin. Have you ever met him?"
"No." Pang Zhuo said.
"This boy is cunning. If you meet him, you must be careful," said Zhao Jingzhou.
Pang Zhuo laughed: "He's just a kid. Even if he has talent and ability, he's not something I should be wary of. But your son, who has been exiled by the emperor to serve under him, is someone you should be wary of."
Zhao Jingzhou also smiled and said, "He has no control over Han'er."
Pang Zhuo asked, "You seem to have a problem with Zhao Lin? I don't think you've ever met him before?"
Zhao Jingzhou said, "I've never seen him, but from what he's done along the way, I can tell he's not a good person."
Pang Zhuo shook his head and said, "You're wrong. I think this boy is not only kind-hearted, but also has excellent character. How many civil and military officials in the court could have done what he did in Qingzhou? Even if Li Chengqian were to go there, he wouldn't be any better."
Zhao Jingzhou was not happy with how his old boss Pang Zhuo was exaggerating Zhao Lin. He said, "He's just trying to gain fame. Seeing how he killed Feng Siyuan and Xiong Hui and Xiong Guang, you can see that he's incredibly cruel. No one can compare to him."
Pang Zhuo said, "Zhao Lin did nothing wrong regarding Feng Siyuan and the others. If he didn't kill them, would he have waited for them to kill him? But you're wrong about one thing. Feng Siyuan committed suicide, and the deaths of Xiong Hui and Xiong Guang were accidents. There's no evidence to prove it was Zhao Lin's doing, and even the Xiong family has nothing to say. Jingzhou, you're likely to cause Zhao Lin's dissatisfaction by saying this."
Zhao Jingzhou said disdainfully, "So what if he's dissatisfied? Can he still attack me?"
"Why not? He is now the governor of the river, in charge of the transportation of grain in the world. What will you do if he cuts off your food supply?" Pang Zhuo said.
Zhao Jingzhou sneered, "The food stored in Zhenbei Pass is enough to last for half a year. How dare he not send food and fodder to Zhenbei Pass for half a year? Besides, land transportation will only take a little longer. Even if he doesn't send food and fodder to Zhenbei Pass, there will be no shortage of food."
Pang Zhuo frowned and said, "Your opinion of him is too extreme. Is it because your son suffered at his hands?"
Zhao Jingzhou was unwilling to explain, saying, "I've never been wrong in my judgment of people. If Zhao Lin gains power, he will surely be a traitor and a traitor to the nation."
Pang Zhuo laughed and suddenly said, "If that's your opinion, why not submit a petition to take the Qingzhou Army away from him when you go to court? Without this knife, he will be obedient."
Zhao Jingzhou nodded and said, "I think so too."
Pang Zhuo was unwilling to discuss Zhao Lin's affairs with Zhao Jingzhou anymore, and instead asked, "The struggle for the throne has always been a life-or-death struggle; there's never a third way. Are you sure you're ready?"
Zhao Jingzhou said solemnly, "This opportunity is rare. Don't you want to fight for a hereditary title for your family?"
Pang Zhuo sighed, "Of course I do. But once war breaks out, all lives will be destroyed."
