Chapter 533 let go

   This was too urgent, he thought, they had tacitly understood.

   Zhao Zhongyu was slightly displeased, but he put down his pen and left the study.

   Zhao Hanzhang was looking up at the sycamore tree in the yard, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned around and did not salute, but pointed at the swaying sycamore tree and said, “It was roasted by the fire a few days ago?”

  Zhao Zhongyu said “um”: “Although it is far away, it still has some influence.”

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, “I remember when my grandfather was still there, he used to test his uncle and eldest brother’s homework under this plane tree.”

   Zhao Zhongyu also fell silent when he heard it. He is much older than Zhao Hanzhang, and his sophistication has long been perfected. When Zhao Hanzhang mentioned Zhao Ji and Zhao Yi at this time, he still started with such a warm beginning.

This surprised him a little. He didn’t expect Zhao Hanzhang to take a step back and intercede on their behalf. When we met this morning, her words were clearly sharp, and even Zhao Ji was not seen two days ago. looks like.

   Zhao Hanzhang knew that he understood, and she was silent for a long time before she said: “Yuncheng is too far away, the eldest sister is still young, I am afraid that she will not adapt to the situation. Since the eldest brother is going back to Xiping, let him take care of the sisters.”

   Zhao Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, “Okay.”

   He paused and asked, “Then Mr. Wu…”

The corner of Zhao Hanzhang’s mouth picked up lightly: “The aunt will ask the uncle to take care of it, and the uncle and grandfather will be punished as appropriate when they arrive in Yuncheng. The road is always inconvenient, after all, following your majesty, and the eldest sister and the second sister are already engaged, so they will get married. needs time.”

   This is to change from immediate execution to death reprieve.

   Zhao Zhongyu was both moved and chilled in his heart.

  I was moved by Zhao Hanzhang’s willingness to recite the love of blood, and was willing to open up, which made him more willing to be this hostage;

  The reason for the cold is that she had calculated all his plans clearly. In order to calm her anger, he really wanted Wu to be “sick” tonight and go on the road with her illness. In a few days, she will die because of the soil and water.

   He will bring Zhao Hewan along, and she will take care of Wu.

  She is already engaged, this time her mother will keep her filial piety for three years. In order not to delay the man, he will break off the marriage. When she arrives in Yuncheng, she will be sent to become a monk or a monk, or she will choose another marriage after her filial piety period expires.

   But if she gets married again, she won’t get a good marriage, and her life may be ruined like this.

   Zhao Hewan was not the only one who was also delayed. Zhao Erniang and Zhao Siniang also had to keep their filial piety for three years. There were many changes in the three years, and no one knew what their future would be like.

   He felt that this was enough for Zhao Hanzhang to calm down, but he didn’t expect that she would be willing to take a step back and allow the Wu family to live in Yuncheng.

   Don’t look at this little time difference, the consequences are different.

   Zhao Zhongyu fell silent, the grandparents and grandchildren rarely stood so quietly, and they were not nervous.

   Zhao Hanzhang was looking at the plane tree and the table and chairs under the tree, where she and Zhao Changyu first met.

  If it was him, he wouldn’t want her to be the first and second wife of Zhao’s family, right?

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed.

   Zhao Zhongyu also sighed.

   He said: “His Majesty thought of Yuncheng and summoned the clan and the provincial governors, including the governor of Bingzhou, Liu Kun.”

Hearing this, Zhao Hanzhang sneered, “Is it Gou Xi’s proposal, he wants to order the world through the emperor? But don’t forget, half of the clan’s sons are in Shi Le’s hands. After the Eighth King, how many people are still alive in the Sima family? indivual?”

“There are still dozens of them,” Zhao Zhongyu said: “What I worry about is Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou. He is now guarding Jinyang, and it is very difficult to guard that side of the land. Once he leaves, I am afraid that Liu Yuan will not let go. take this opportunity.”

“Once Liu Yuan conquers Jinyang, the entire Bingzhou will be his,” Zhao Zhongyu said: “With Liu Kun in Bingzhou, he can contain a lot of Xiongnu troops for you. If Jinyang is lost, Luoyang and Yuzhou will be lost. You will face all of Liu Yuan’s forces.”

   He whispered: “The imperial court specially ordered him to come back, and intentionally gave him the position of the prefect of Jizhou. I suspect it was Gou Xi’s plan to make Liu Yuan fight with you.”

   Zhao Hanzhang: “…he hasn’t left Luoyang yet, so he thinks a lot.”

   Zhao Zhongyu, “You have to contact Liu Kun and convince him to stay in Jinyang.”

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded, finally showing a smile, “Thank you uncle and grandfather for reminding me.”

   Zhao Zhongyu: “Isn’t that what I went to Yuncheng for?”

   One is to be a hostage, the other is to be a bridge between the court and Zhao Hanzhang, and the third is to provide information about the court to Zhao Hanzhang.

  He looked up at Zhao Hanzhang and looked at her very carefully.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked back suspiciously, “Uncle?”

  Zhao Zhongyu: “You have changed a lot from more than two years ago. I never knew that you are such a person. Even now you are very different from the morning.”

   Zhao Hanzhang said: “Someone told me just now that it’s time for retribution.”

   She stretched out her hand to show him, and said, “We are blood relatives, broken bones connect tendons, I have resentment, but I can’t deny our flesh and blood.”

   “Besides,” she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Zhongyu, “for the overall situation and for the clan, this grievance seems to be nothing.”

   Zhao Zhongyu looked at her palm for a long time without speaking.

Zhao Hanzhang folded his palms, put his back behind him, and smiled slightly: “Since I left Beijing, I have experienced life and death, wars, and many, many things. In order to survive, I have to change, and the better and better, this is not growth. ?”

   Zhao Zhongyu sighed after being silent for a long time, “Yeah, after experiencing it, you will grow up, your position will change, and your thoughts will also change.”

“I’ve always disliked your grandfather,” Zhao Zhongyu, who had figured it out, walked to the mat under the plane tree and sat down with his legs crossed, “Since I was young, everyone has praised your grandfather for his talent, and I’m not as good as me. .”

   Zhao Hanzhang walked across from him and sat down with his legs crossed.

   The waiter immediately brought tea and snacks up, and after putting them away, he bowed and retreated into the distance, standing with his head lowered.

   “When I was young, these discussions were more and louder. Your grandfather insulted me in front of everyone. I have always remembered it in my heart, so I have always had a grudge against him.”

   Zhao Hanzhang understood that Zhao Changyu also told her before his death that the one thing he regretted most in his life was being frivolous when he was young, and he once looked down on Zhao Zhongyu in public.

   However, she felt that his remorse was not complete, because Zhao Changyu had always looked down on Zhao Zhongyu, and hated this younger brother until his death, and felt that it was difficult for him to be the patriarch.

   But this is such a person, for the sake of the clan, he is also willing to give up the interests of the small family, like Zhao Changyu, and prefer the interests of the clan.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked up at him.

“Our brothers were originally separated from each other, but Empress Jia made an obstacle. Our brothers knew each other well and were happy to fight with each other as she wished. It was originally a half-truth, but in the end, it turned out to be false. The drama is really done, and the relationship between the two families is getting worse.”
