Chapter 180
"What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Cuo frowned when he heard the words.

"Does Aiqing think that she has won the favor of the queen mother because of her repeated outstanding achievements?"

Emperor Yongzhao sighed again while speaking.

"Please also ask the Holy Spirit to speak clearly."

He forcibly kept himself calm on the surface, but he unconsciously clenched his hanging hands tightly, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

"When I first met Zhao Qing that day, I kept my expressions on the ground, but there was an uproar in my heart, thinking that you must be the savior bestowed by the heavens on Dayu who is in danger."

He looked at Zhao Cuo with eager eyes, but then shook his head with a sigh, and said with a sad face:

"After the ecstasy, I thought of my mother again, and immediately understood why she favored you, the martial arts practiced by her old man..."

When Young Master Zhao heard this, he already vaguely understood what he wanted to say, and his originally turbulent mood suddenly calmed down, but there was a shadow in his eyes.

"Your Majesty may wish to speak more clearly."

he said quietly.

"My cultivation level is not as good as my mother's, but I can also see that Zhao Qing is pregnant with my great fortune. Do you think she will not know?"

Emperor Yongzhao finally made his words clear. He looked at Zhao Cuo sincerely and said:
"The queen mother is obsessed with martial arts, and she didn't know that something went wrong in her practice. I really can't bear to tell you about my love and your untimely death."

"Your Majesty is saying that the Empress Dowager wants to harm me?"

Zhao Cuo took the initiative to make his face gradually stiff under his gaze.

"As a son of man, I really shouldn't talk about my mother behind my back..."

Emperor Yu Chufeng's eyes were filled with pain.

"What should I do in His Majesty's opinion?"

Zhao Cuo lowered his gaze and said helpless and hesitant words.

"Zhao Qing can rest assured! As long as I live for a day, I will never let you ruin your good life."

He took half a step forward and firmly held Grandpa Zhao's hand.

"What does the emperor want me to do?"

Zhao Cuo's tone was still hesitant.

"My first priority when I come to Huainan Kingdom in person is to put down the seven kings who are about to make trouble, but Zheng Guogong's support is indispensable for this matter."

What Emperor Yongzhao said could not be faulted at all. He was obviously plotting against the people, but he said it as if he was wholeheartedly for the public.

"I hope that Aiqing can persuade Zheng Guogong to make contributions with me."

He finally wanted to see him.

"This……"

Zhao Cuo lowered his head and seemed to be struggling.

"After this is done, I should call your father King Zheng."

Emperor Yu spoke softly and unhurriedly in front of him.

"However, Young Master Zhao, you will not become a young prince. I want to make you the King of Zhao. Your Zhao family has devoted themselves to Dayu for 400 years and will become a double king."

"It's about the wealth and lives of more than a dozen members of my Zhao family. It's hard for me to make a decision for a while. Please give me a day to think about it."

Zhao Cuo stood up short of breath and said.

"As it should be."

Emperor Yongzhao smiled as if he was satisfied with his reaction.

"Zhao Qing, go back and make a plan. If you have a decision in your heart, you can come to the palace to see me at any time. The words just now will be valid forever."

"The minister will take his leave first."

After Zhao gave a wrong salute, he turned around and walked away quickly. He didn't notice his front foot before leaving, and a man hiding in a green robe came out.

"Mr. Gu."

Emperor Yongzhao held the gift of his disciples and bowed his hands to pay tribute.

"If he is unwilling to surrender, I will draw out the national fortune from him to add another chance of winning for the great event of the Holy Majesty."

The green-robed man said to him casually.

"Don't kill anyone at will."

Chu Feng smiled amiably.

"If Mr. Zhao is unwilling, then forget it. We will leave him in Huainan Kingdom for the time being. We shouldn't do anything wrong."

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this luck. Its price is no less than an army of 10 people. This is destiny!"

"I will uphold the righteousness and let the subjects of the world return to their hearts. Those who achieve great things will walk the road. It has been like this since ancient times."

Emperor Yongzhao's usual easy-going tone became unquestionable.

……

"The king's honored guest did not disappoint you, did he?"

King Huainan, who was waiting outside the yard, looked at Zhao Cuo who came out with expectant eyes.

"The junior will have to come and bother the king tomorrow."

Zhao Xiaogong said politely, cupping his hands.

"My king welcomes you at any time."

The two exchanged greetings and walked outside. Zhao Cuo was relieved when he saw the woman in the black chest-length skirt waiting at the entrance of the corridor, and stepped forward quickly.

"Leave it alone for now."

He did not talk to the empress dowager, after saying goodbye to King Huainan, he remained silent until he left the palace.

"Your Majesty, please give me a decree immediately and send me to the camp where the imperial court garrisons are stationed. I must immediately dispatch troops to control the palace!"

As soon as Zhao Cuo got into the carriage, before the wheels moved, he spoke to the Queen Mother Zhao who had just taken off her veil, with a solemn tone.

"Who did you see?"

The empress dowager frowned, and before he could reply, she leaned forward and groped on him, as if she was worried that he would be hurt after being separated for such a long time.

"Dayu Yongzhao Emperor Chufeng."

Zhao Cuo replied without hesitation.

"You...all what you said is true?"

Zhao Qinglan was taken aback when she heard his words.

"Emperor Yongzhao has already captured Huainan and Southern Xinjiang. He wants me to persuade my father to sacrifice Jiangnan, so that he can use the fertile soil in the south as a foundation to conquer the world."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong directly sold out Emperor Yu who treated him with great courtesy.

"Ah!"

The Empress Dowager Dayu reacted quickly with a sneer after a short shock.

"It's just that I underestimated this cheap son, and actually had the courage to run to Huainan to set up his own family when I delegated power to him on the southern tour. He looks like a descendant of the Chu family."

"I also ask you to make a decision early. Now is the best opportunity to kill Emperor Yongzhao, and don't let him become a serious worry in the future."

Zhao Cuo knew that all the princes and kings wanted Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice. If Emperor Yongzhao couldn't win him over, he would definitely find an opportunity to send troops. He couldn't let the situation go to this point.

"After returning to the mansion, I will write a decree, and then go to the garrison camp with you, and dispatch troops to kill the traitor."

While they were talking, the carriage had already stopped, and the residence arranged by King Huainan for Zhao Cuo was only one street away from the palace, and it would take less than half an hour to walk back and forth between the two places.

The two got out of the carriage as usual and slowly returned to the room. No one noticed that they had left at a certain moment. Even if Emperor Yongzhao was killed, he would never have thought that his mother was in Huainan Kingdom.

If it weren't for the fire lifter, Zhao Cuo knew that he would definitely not be able to fight Chu Feng this time.

"There must be King Huainan's eyeliner in the barracks garrisoned by the imperial court. You can't hide the movement of the soldiers from my son. When you gain military power, you must first seal off the camp and prohibit entry and exit, and then use the fastest speed to gather the soldiers and horses. To the palace."

Empress Dowager Zhao took him to the camp of the imperial garrison and gave her final instructions. Because of the emergency, she didn't have time to ask Zhao Cuo and Emperor Yongzhao what they said specifically. If it was someone else, she would definitely not hand it over easily. A token that can mobilize troops.
