Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 257 Going to Liang Jingyao

After going to court, Taishi Zhao hurried back to Taishi's mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Taishi Zhao ordered his men to find his son Zhao Shuyi and come back, while he went to the study first.

When Zhao Shuyi entered the study, he saw Taishi Zhao already sitting at the desk, his eyes full of repressed anger and unwillingness!

"Father, what's wrong with you? Has the emperor made things difficult for you again?" Zhao Shuyi asked worriedly.

Taishi Zhao slapped the table and said angrily: "The Yumu army invaded and Dongdan has fallen. Emperor Liang ordered me to fight against the Yumu army. If they cannot be driven out of Dongsui within ten days, Then our Zhao family will be wiped out!"

Zhao Shuyi couldn't believe it. In such a short time of ten days, not to mention that his father was just a civil servant, even if he brought a military officer, he would not dare to make such a guarantee. Liang Di clearly wanted his father and the entire Zhao family to die!

"Father, we can't sit still! Why don't we go and seek refuge with Liang Jingyao? He needs support just now. We still have time to go at this time. If Liang Jingyao invades the capital in the future, we will be passive!" Zhao Shuyi anxiously said.

Taishi Zhao nodded and said: "I think the same as you, but there are too many Zhao family members. If only one or two escape from the capital, there is still a chance. It is impossible for everyone to leave, so I want you to take Yongchang to escape the capital overnight. I'll let someone take care of the city gate."

Zhao Shuyi was dumbfounded when he heard that only two people could walk. He thought that at least the family members of the Grand Master's Mansion could escape, but he didn't expect that his father would only agree to two people to go. It was himself and his son Zhao who had just learned to walk Yongchang.

"Father, what about the others? Is there really nothing I can do? Where is my Wanyu? She is my wife, I can't just leave her behind! And my only daughter Zhenzhen, father, I really do No way!" Zhao Shuyi burst into tears as he spoke, his heart full of resentment towards Emperor Liang.

Taishi Zhao shook his head, and said helplessly: "If there are too many people, it will be too obvious. Shuyi, if you are afraid of hurting Wanyu, you should leave her in advance. Let Wanyu take Zhenzhen back to her mother's house. Wanyu is Dongfang The daughter of the Dongfang family, the Dongfang family is an aristocratic family, and they have not heard about the court for hundreds of years, Emperor Liang will not offend the Dongfang family because of the two women."

Zhao Shuyi staggered back a few steps. Since getting married, he and Wanyu have always been very affectionate. How can he say such cruel words about Heli?

"Father, is there no other way? Please, help your son!" Zhao Shuyi thought of the scene of his wife and children being separated, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

Taishi Zhao's face was ugly. He had been in the officialdom for many years, all for the bright future of the Zhao family's descendants, but he never thought that he would be reduced to the point where he would not be able to protect the entire Zhao family!
"Shu Yi, you can be content! Your younger brother Shu Jin still has to stay here, his family has no choice!" Grand Master Zhao sighed and covered his face with one hand.

Zhao Shuyi knew that it would be useless to stay here and continue to beg his father. There was not much time left, so he should hurry back and talk to his wife and children more.

"Father, Shuyi has made a mistake, so Shuyi will resign."

Taishi Zhao raised his head, called Zhao Shuyi to stop, and said, "Wait a minute, Shuyi. This is a letter I wrote, and it contains my token. When you see Liang Jingyao, you must give these things to him. Follow Liang Jingyao well in the future. The future of the Zhao family depends on you!"

Zhao Shuyi took the thick envelope with both hands, nodded in response and said, "Yes, my son will leave."

Not long after Zhao Shuyi left, Zhao Shujin walked in.

Grand Master Zhao glanced at his youngest son, his old face was full of guilt, "Shujin, have you got the news?"

Zhao Shujin nodded and said, "Yes. Father, are you really going to fight?"

Master Zhao said affirmatively: "Shu Jin is indeed my smartest son. Alas, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! It is the father who is sorry for you. If I can't drive away the army of the Yumu Kingdom in ten days, then you will all be killed." Killed by Emperor Liang."

Zhao Shujin thought for a while and said, "Father, we won't blame you, but my son has a request, and I hope father will agree."

Grand Master Zhao thought that Zhao Shujin wanted to say something like saving him and his wife and children, but Grand Master Zhao directly refused: "Shujin, father is at the end of his rope, there is really nothing he can do."

Zhao Shujin knew that her father had misunderstood her meaning. In this situation, any family would go to Gu Baoshuai. Since she is not the eldest son, it is completely impossible to expect her family to save her. The only hope is to save herself!
"Father, staying in the capital is also a torment. My son wants to accompany his father to fight against the enemy. Whether he wins or loses, his son will just treat it as a big gamble!" Zhao Shujin looked at Taishi Zhao expectantly.

Now that things are up to now, Grand Master Zhao can only gain a glimmer of life.

"Okay, you can go to the palace with me to face the saint. If the emperor agrees, I will take you with me." Grand Master Zhao stood up and said.

Zhao Shujin nodded, and replied, "Thank you, father, for making this happen!"

The next day, at dawn, Zhao Shuyi and his son Zhao Yongchang quietly left the capital under the arrangement of Taishi Zhao.

When the sky was bright, Taishi Zhao left the capital with a large army.

On the city tower, Emperor Liang watched the army leave with a satisfied smile on his lips. This was probably the most gratifying thing for him recently!

Because, as long as Grand Master Zhao is dead, there will be no more eyesores in the capital!
At this time in Yangming Town, Liang Jingyao had had breakfast with Lin Xiaoyue before someone called Zhao Shuyi and Zhao Yongchang in.

"Shu Yi, don't come here without any problems! You don't come to help Emperor Liang as a lobbyist, do you?" Liang Jingyao sat at the table, and when he saw Zhao Shuyi, there was no surprise in his eyes.

As Zhao Taishi's eldest son, Zhao Shuyi is also a well-known figure in the capital, so Liang Jingyao knew Zhao Shuyi, and they had crossed paths with each other when they were young and frivolous.

Liang Jingyao knew that Zhao Shuyi had come to find him at this time, and Emperor Liang probably sent Grand Master Zhao to deal with the army of the Yumu Kingdom, so Grand Master Zhao had the mentality of turning against him. He probably wanted to take Zhao Shuyi in and save some blood for his Zhao family. But why should I help them?They belonged to Emperor Liang's faction back then, and their family was exiled in the north, and Taishi Zhao often made trouble among them.

Zhao Shuyi pulled his son to kneel on the ground, took out the letter from Taishi Zhao and said: "Jing Yao, our Zhao family has offended you so much, I will kowtow to you to apologize! But this letter written by my father is as good as you can read it." One look!"

Liang Jingyao looked coldly at Zhao Shuyi knocking on the ground with a "dong dong" sound, and had no intention of answering the letter at all.

"Shu Yi, I saw you today to give face to your grand master's house, but why should I read your father's letter? Did your father forget that my father is still suffering in the north? What happened to your Zhao family today? , it’s all the karma planted back then, and I can’t do anything about it!”
