Outside Jinzhou City, Zhang Wenqi is saying goodbye to her father.

    Chang Anhou looked at his daughter and said, "Now the situation in the capital is changing, don't delay on the road, go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

    Zhang Wenqi responded and turned around and set off. The old man looked at his daughter's back and breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned on crutches and walked into the city step by step. When he was about to step into the city gate, he suddenly looked at to a familiar figure.

    If I read correctly, his son Zhang Wenli was in the woods.

    Zhang Wenli silently looked at his father in a hidden place. Seeing that the old man had discovered his figure, he turned and walked into the depths of the woods.

    The old man wanted to talk to Zhang Wenli alone, he refused the help of his entourage, and walked step by step in the direction where Zhang Wenli left. It is strange to say that Zhang Wenli walked very slowly, And he chose a good place to go, as if he was waiting for the old marquis.

    The old man didn't speak, just followed him like this. After walking for a while, Zhang Wenli stopped, he turned his back to his father, and his voice did not waver: "What does my father have? Do you want to talk to me?"

    Old Marquis looked at the thin back of his younger son, and guilt surged up, but now it's more important to take him back, "Wen Li, go home with me."

    Zhang Wenli turned around and looked at his father, looking at his hunched body, he didn't know whether it was sad or resentful for a while, he smiled: "Father, are you going to abandon me again? It's not right to say that. , was false before, and the crime I am committing now is true."

    These words are a bit poignant, but the old man did not regret what happened back then, his tone was very firm, "I know you are resentful, but as ministers, this is what we should do, It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been so proud."

    Although it has been so many years, even though Zhang Wenli understands his father's attitude very well, he can't help but feel sad, he laughed, not knowing who he was mocking: "Hahaha, father is right , it's all my fault!"

    "I joined the army since I was a child, it's my fault to fight for the country!"

    "It's my fault that I am arrogant and look down on the emperor's benevolence!"

    "I was slandered by the emperor and still complained, this is my fault!"

    Zhang Wenli's voice was sad and full of despair. He looked at the old man as if he was asking: "May I ask father what else is wrong with me?"

    The old man was speechless. This is the reason why he dared not face Zhang Wenli for so many years. I know you have grudges in your heart, but as a minister..."

     "Father, open your eyes, I am your child, a man of flesh and blood! I am not a pawn!"

    After so many years, Zhang Wenli and Chang Anhou have only said this sentence, but Chang Anhou always avoids him. He's been hiding like that all his life.

    The old man has not lost his conscience, but in his heart, protecting the family of others is more important than personal gains and losses, so he began to quibble: "I know that I was sorry for you back then, but you You can't take revenge on Daxin because of what happened back then, just go back with me and I can save your life."

    I knew for a long time that this was a fruitless negotiation, Zhang Wenli didn't get the answer he wanted, and now he is only heartbroken, he didn't answer the old man's question and talked about other things : "Don't father know that now the emperor regards his sister as a threat, and you let her go back to Beijing alone because you want to give up her."

    "This is what she should do, and this is her duty as a courtier."

    "Do you know that she will die because of this? You don't understand the emperor's mind."

    The old man was silent for a while, and finally said: "That is her life."

    Suddenly, a sound came from behind the old man. I don't know when, Zhang Wenqi has come here.

    Gu Yun tried to lure Zhang Wenqi here and let her hear all the conversations between the two. Zhang Wenqi couldn't believe that the emperor, whom she had respected for so many years, planned to slander her brother, and she couldn't believe herself The father was so heartless.

    Under the huge psychological blow, she couldn't help falling to the ground.

    Old Marquis saw his daughter with a look of disbelief and a chill in his heart, he explained anxiously: "Qi'er, it's not what you think."

    But no matter what the old man said, Zhang Wenqi didn't want to care anymore. She brought her father and brother back to Jinzhou City and canceled the plan to return to Beijing.

    And the emperor is also preparing to go to the expedition. As Wu You said, the emperor sent a person to monitor Wu Zhan, and this person was very enthusiastic. Said that this was the commandment of the Holy Spirit.

    Wu Zhan is not in the capital now, he has returned to his post, but this time he is not at the border.

    He still took his daughter's words to heart and took precautions against the people sent by the emperor. In short, it's not bad to be more careful, and Wu Zhan has sent Zhang Wenqi a lot of letters but There was no response, and Wu Zhan was uneasy, always feeling that something was wrong.

    "What is my father worried about? Sorrow."

    Hearing her daughter's caring words, Wu Zhan put down his worries for the time being. Wu You should have stayed in the general's mansion. When she came out, Wu Zhan had no choice but to take her with him.

    "I have sent many letters to Marshal Zhang, but there is no response. I have tried my best to delay it. I have to ask her to come back quickly, otherwise she will become a rebel."

    Wu You pouted, she seemed to be joking: "Maybe, maybe there will be a prince to force the palace or something."

     

    In the past, Wu You might be afraid, but now she has seen it clearly, no matter how careful and loyal they are, they can't escape the persecution, because in the eyes of the emperor, they are all terrible threats.

    Wu You didn't argue with his father, this battle was never going to be fought, Wu You quietly followed up because he was worried that his father would be murdered, and Azi had already planned the rest.

    I have to say that the crown prince is really stupid, and if he cheats, he really believes that Wu Zhan will help him kill his father and seize the throne, but this is also good, it will save a lot of things.

    Wu Zhan knew that she didn't take this matter to heart when she saw her leisurely appearance, she couldn't help but sighed and wanted to remind her daughter again.

    A soldier came in a hurry: "Report! Zhang Wenqi raised his troops to rebel! Jinzhou and the border areas have all fallen."

    This news was like a bolt from the blue, Wu Zhan couldn't believe it, he couldn't help standing up and asked sharply, "Who are you talking about rebelling?"

    "Reporting General, it's Zhang Wenqi."

    Wu Zhan's body shook a little, Wu You was afraid that he would fall and hurried up to support him, Wu Zhan refused Wu You's support, he quickly calmed down: "Why did they rebel?"

    "It is said that the emperor is not benevolent and wants to clear the door for Gaozu. They have Gaozu's edict in their hands."

    Wu You watched from the side, thinking that the time was up, and after a while, another messenger soldier brought bad news.

     "Report! The prince is forcing the palace, please the general to rescue the emperor as soon as possible."

     

    Although he had doubts in his heart, but now is not the time to care about this, Wu Zhan quickly arranged, on the one hand, sent troops to stop Zhang Wenqi from trying to negotiate with her, on the other hand, sent people to the direction of the capital to rescue the emperor .

    After the soldiers were ordered to leave, only Wu Zhan and Wu You were left in the room. It seemed that after thinking about it for a long time, Wu Zhan asked his daughter, "Did you do this? of?"

    Wu You did not deny; "Yes, father."

      "

    Wu You raised her head with a very calm expression: "Because family is the most important thing in my heart, and I know the emperor is a threat."

    Wu You said with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Does father know? How panicked I was when you disappeared."

    This stubborn and sad look successfully extinguished Wu Zhan's anger, he softened his attitude: "I know you are worried about me, but His Majesty he..."

    "Is he really benevolent? How did my biological parents die? Father, you should know."

    Of course Wu Zhan knew it, but he didn't expect that Wu You already knew his life experience, he suddenly panicked: "You already know."

    Wu You wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I know, but I don't want to avenge them, I also know that my biological father is the son of a repeat offender, according to today's law, his The end is inevitable, I just want to protect you."

    "Your Majesty benevolent, but my father has worked so hard for so many years, and he just praised him verbally, and Zhang Wenli was once praised by the military as the next Marquis of Chang'an, but now everyone has changed his words. , said that Aunt Zhang was even better than the Marquis of Chang An back then, but both of them rebelled inexplicably, does my father just think this is a coincidence?"

    Before Wu Zhan could speak, Wu You handed the letter written by Zhang Wenqi to Wu Zhan, "This is what Aunt Zhang asked me to give to you. My father has worked with Aunt Zhang for more than ten years. What is she? You should know best of such a person, I don't need my father to be with us, but I want you to do nothing."

    Wu Zhan read the letter, and a storm surged in his heart. He was a little lost while sitting on the stool.

    Wu You did not urge him to make a decision, but just watched him quietly.

    For a long time, he sighed: "Forget it, just do it if you want."

    Wu You was overjoyed when she saw that things had come to an end, and when she saw the uncontrollable fatigue on her father's face, she felt distressed: "I don't want to force you like this, but if you don't..."

      Since I joined the army, I just wanted you to have a better life. Later, when I fought for more than ten years, the people on the border were simple and honest, and looking at their smiles, it seemed that all my efforts made sense. "

    Wu You was a little surprised: "What did your father mean?"

    "I am loyal to the people, not the emperor, so I am no different from a rebel, hahaha!"

    After laughing, Wu Zhan asked Wu You carefully: "Can you continue to call me father?"

    Wu You suddenly felt a little sad, "Of course, no matter in the past or now, you are my father, I don't recognize blood but love."

    These words completely relieved Wu Zhan, and he laughed a few times: "Okay!"
