Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 695 Conceal the truth! (3)
"Father, my son knows. But the late emperor was kind to his son. The late emperor has confessed to him long ago. If he has any accidents in the future, he will definitely ask me to support the fourth prince with all my strength. But now?"

"Now it is Xiao Yunfang who is enthroned as emperor, not the fourth prince you mentioned. Zhao Shuang, do you know what you are doing?"

The old man's face was extremely ugly, could this son be dazed?Now that the fourth prince is dead, he was posthumously crowned King of Xiang by the emperor's order, why doesn't he understand?Why make more troubles?If the entire Zhao family is involved again, it will really be a bloodbath for the capital.

"Father, the fourth prince is not dead. He was secretly taken away by the former emperor." Zhao Shuang became sober, straightened his upper body, and looked persistent, "Father, the fourth prince is living well now." Damn, if the Sangqiu family hadn't helped the Queen set up a trap, Concubine Rong would not have died, and the Fourth Prince would naturally ascend the throne smoothly."

"You also said that's what if!" The old man interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his sentence, "Where are there so many ifs in this world? The fact is that he has already lost! Concubine Rong is also dead. Don't you Still wanting to support the fourth prince who has no power behind him? Are you crazy?"

"No! Father!" Zhao Shuang walked two steps on his knees, came to the old man, raised his head, and said earnestly, "Father, behind the fourth prince is the support of the Liu family of Luanhe. It was given to General Lin who was stationed in Yunzhou, and once the Fourth Prince takes the token to look for it in the future, then General Lin's 10 horses will also be dispatched by the Fourth Prince."

General Lin?
The old man suddenly remembered that the [-] soldiers stationed in Yunzhou were none other than Lin Shaokang's cousin.

If General Lin took refuge with the Fourth Prince, what about Duke Dingguo's Mansion?
Although Lin Shaokang doesn't have such a large military power in his hands now, but with his prestige in the barracks, it is not impossible to mobilize tens of thousands of horses.

However, how could the emperor fail to consider this level?
What's more, there is a son Sancho by the emperor's side!
That man, although young, is very wise and close to a demon.With such a person assisting him, they had to guard against it.

"Stop talking! Even with their support, the Fourth Prince would not have won. He is too young. Even if he had won the favor of the previous emperor, how can such a young prince be compared with the current Holy Majesty? After all, the current emperor is obvious to all. Zhao Shuang, why don't you think about it, no matter who is the emperor, this is a member of the Xiao family, and Zi Ye is still a member of the Xiao family, what's wrong with that?"

"No! Father, you don't understand." Zhao Shuang's face seemed to be in pain, but there was a bit of forbearance, as if there was an unspeakable secret, which made people think too much.

"But what reason do you have, that it fell into the hands of the fourth prince?" The old man has been in the officialdom for most of his life, how could he not understand this level?
Zhao Shuang was embarrassed at first, then shook his head hastily, "No! No!"

"Really not?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head, bit his lip, "Go back to father, really not!"

The old man also saw Zhao Shuang's persistence, and his gray beard trembled slightly, "Have you ever thought about it, if you help the fourth prince fail, what will happen to my Zhao family and nine clans? Concubine Zhao in the palace is now pregnant. That's your own daughter! Don't tell me, you want to watch her die by the knife together with the fetus in her womb?"

Zhao Shuang's face was slightly pale, and there were faint sweat stains on his forehead.The palms hanging on both sides of the body were already stained with sweat.

"Father, my son has no other way to go. The emperor left a secret edict before, and my son must obey it."

"Secret order? Where is it?" The old man's voice was not high, but it was full of majesty.

Zhao Shuang's lips trembled a few times, and then he said cautiously, "It's in the son's study. The emperor has already made preparations. He seems to have noticed that the queen and the second prince will do something, so he arranged everything secretly, just to Save the fourth prince. But I didn't expect that we, the courtiers, are still defeated."

Zhao Shuang lowered his head a little dejectedly, as if he was repenting for his incompetence.

"You also said that you are defeated. Since you are defeated, you must look like you are defeated. Zhao Shuang, I don't care where the fourth prince is now, and who is behind him to help. Don't forget, we Fuyang For more than a hundred years, the Zhao Clan has been able to achieve what it is today. It is really not easy. If you sent the nine clans to the guillotine because of your careless move, would you really have the heart?"

"No! My son will be fully prepared."

The old man snorted contemptuously, with an extremely sarcastic smile on his face, "You? Just by you? How can you be fully prepared? Our Zhao family is well-known for a lifetime, and it is also a scholarly family. You are not a general, you What do you use to support the Fourth Prince? Do you want all the sons of my Zhao family to fight the enemy?"

Zhao Shuang's face became even paler. He knew that what his father said was true. Their Zhao family was indeed not a family of generals. The only second brother who had the chance to become a general passed away early. The Zhao family was indeed not suitable for him. To fight for power.

"Father, what do you mean, is the son going to break his oath to the late emperor?"

"I don't want you to abandon anything, but I just want you to think clearly. You are the head of the Zhao family. It took several generations for my Zhao family to achieve its current glory. It is really not easy. If you are ruined by you, it is better to let I'll send you directly to see your ancestors first."

After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to close his eyes in pain, while Zhao Shuang, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely dumbfounded!
What's the situation?
How could father say such a thing?

Since his father retired, he has rarely asked about world affairs. What happened today?Besides, even if he wants to persuade himself, there is no need to utter such cruel words, right?
Zhao Shuang looked at the old man in a daze for a long while, then said, "Father, what happened to you today? My son didn't do anything outrageous."

The old man opened his eyes weakly, and glanced at him, as if to confirm for the last time, "Are you really unwilling to change your original intention?"

Zhao Shuang hesitated for a while, and finally, after a fierce struggle in his heart, he nodded heavily, "Father, the son must not lose his promise to the late emperor. It is really not easy for the son to be what he is today. Without the promotion of the late emperor, how could the son be able to do so?" Today? Although my son is a civil servant, the position of Minister of Dali Temple is still very important in Ziye. My son will not make a move first, he will always see their strength before making any plans."
