Chapter 178 A loving mother and a filial son
"Girl, come with me."
After the banquet ended in the evening, Zhao Cuo followed the King of Huainan out of the palace through the side door and walked along a small path towards the depths of the palace.
"Should you wait here, this lady."
When they walked to a palace gate, the King of Huainan suddenly spoke and stopped Empress Dowager Zhao, who was wearing a veil behind Zhao Cuo. The originally harmonious atmosphere instantly solidified.
"I am ordered to take care of Mr. Zhao without leaving any steps."
Before Zhao Cuo could speak, the Queen Mother replied in a cold tone.
"My nephew..."
The King of Huainan was not tough, and he looked at Zhao Cuo with a embarrassed look and said in a negotiated tone:
"That distinguished guest said that I saw you alone. Wujiu, please let this female gentleman rest for a while. Can you still believe me?"
'Zhao Cuo, you told him that this palace can only leave you for half an hour at most. If I haven't seen you after this time, I will take action directly.'
The cold and chilling voice of the Empress Dowager rang in Zhao Cuo's mind, calming down his mood and nodding quietly.
"Please forgive me, the elders in my family have given the death order to Miss Lan. I must not let me leave wherever I look at it for half an hour..."
Zhao Cuo said hesitantly.
"Half an hour is enough."
When the King of Huainan responded quickly, he said.
"Thank you, my brother, for your understanding."
Zhao Cuo sighed relieved and bowed.
To be honest, he didn't think that King Huainan would attack him at this time.
Even if he kills him, what's the use? Huainan Kingdom's goal is to pass through him, Duke Zheng, and he, a junior, is actually nothing.
"My nephew, please."
He followed the King of Huainan alone through a long corridor and came outside a villa where there was no silent place.
"Your Majesty can tell me the identity of that distinguished guest now?"
Zhao Cuo acts casually and naturally.
"Wujiu must have guessed it?"
The King of Huainan looked at him with a smile.
"I am already a prince who ruled a country. There is only one person in the world who can make me respectful."
"Is it because the Empress Dowager of the Divine Dynasty was in this courtyard?"
Mr. Zhao asked in surprise.
"Where is your little master who wants to go?"
The King of Huainan was immediately amazed and cried, and then shook his head with a restrained smile, and said solemnly:
"The distinguished guests in the courtyard wear one more white hat than I."
"white……"
Zhao Cuo was stunned at first and then his face changed drastically!
Wear more white hats than the prince?
Isn't this the emperor?
"My nephew, please come in." The King of Huainan smiled and made a "invitation" action, "Don't let the distinguished guest wait for a long time."
He quickly calmed down and stepped into the yard. After passing through the antique front door, a young man sitting in front of a chessboard under a peach tree appeared in his eyes.
"Zhao Qing really made me wait."
When the young man in brocade robe saw Zhao Cuo, he immediately showed a gentle smile that made people feel like spring breeze. He stood up to greet him, raised his hand amiably and tidied up his somewhat messy collar for him.
"At the New Year's Day dinner, we met in a hurry. At that time, the Prince of Qi fell into the water and died and could not say anything. We have to have a long talk today!"
"His Majesty?"
He looked at the gentle young man in front of him in disbelief. This person was Emperor Yongzhao who he had met during the Spring Festival! The legitimate monarch of the Dayu Dynasty!
When he ascended the throne, the name he passed on to the world was Chu Rong.
The word rong can be interpreted as a blessing for the country.
"Is Zhao Qing surprised to see me?"
Yongzhaodi smiled calmly.
"I remember the Queen Mother ordered His Majesty to supervise the country..." Zhao Cuo forced himself to calm down and bowed, "See the Emperor."
He recovered now and thought about it, he knew what was going on. What else could Emperor Dayu do besides rebelling when he appeared in Huainan? This wave was a kind mother and a filial son.
"You and I don't need to be too polite to you or my ministers in times of trouble."
The young Emperor Yu, who had been in power for three years, intimately held Zhao Cuo's hand and sat opposite each other on both sides of the chessboard.
"You and I are the same age. Today, regardless of the king and the minister, is it good to be called brothers?"
He said eagerly holding Mr. Zhao's hand.
"I dare not mess with the way of the king and the minister." Zhao Cuo added in his heart, "I am your Shangfu."
"Don't say such a strange thing. Zhao Qing is the humeral minister of my Dayu, and the Zhao family is the pillar of the world."
Emperor Yongzhao persuaded him intimately but without losing his dignity, but no matter what he said, Mr. Zhao just refused to accept being brothers and brothers with him.
"Does Zhao Qing know the allusion of the founding Taizu of Dayu and the first Huainan king who cooked wine and discussed heroes four hundred years ago?"
Emperor Yu Churong smiled and took the wine pot on the kang next to him in a friendly manner, put the cup on the chessboard, and poured a cup of hot wine for Zhao Cuo.
"I naturally know that when the Demon Court in Mobei broke through the Daxuan capital of the previous dynasty, Emperor Taizu discussed the general trend of the world with the Huainan King who was also a commoner in Huainan."
Although Zhao Cuo didn't know what he wanted to express, he still responded.
"At that time, our human race would perish the world. Taizu raised an army in this fertile soil south of the Ba River and finally drove the demon barbarian back to the grassland."
Emperor Yongzhao sighed, then his face suddenly became solemn, and he said word by word:
"Is Zhao Qing willing to pass on such an eternal story with me?"
He said and stood up with passion again.
"Now the Demon Court in the Mobei Province is eyeing each other, and the seven major vassal kings in the country are preparing for war. It is the time for the men of Dayu to make achievements. Who else can be defeated?"
"What does Your Majesty mean is to be an enemy of the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Cuo was not confused by his incitement and remarks, but directly made it clear. Anyway, Emperor Yongzhao could not kill him now.
"Zhao Qing's words are wrong."
Emperor Yu Chu Rong shook his head.
"Isn't I an unfaithful person who is ignoring my mother's disloyal? This time I am trying hard for my mother's queen. I wish I could cut off my liver and gallbladder and share my worries with my mother's queen. It is precisely this way that I chose to take this step."
"Where is your Majesty's ambition?"
Mr. Zhao asked in the eyes of him.
"I want to use Jiangnan, Huainan and southern borders as the basis, and redefine the mountains and rivers like Emperor Taizu back then and create unparalleled achievements!"
Emperor Yongzhao said in a resolute tone without hesitation, his eyes full of energy, and anyone who is in his heart may have the word "heroic master" appear in his heart.
‘Good guy!’
Zhao Cuo said in his heart that he was a good guy! This gentle and gentle puppet emperor was actually such a tough character? He knew that he could not regain power from Empress Dowager Zhao in the palace, so he wanted to use force to fight the Chu family back. What courage was this?
He heard that he had already taken over Huainan and southern Xinjiang. If he had taken over Jiangnan Prefecture again, half of the richest fertile southern land would be the one that would take over.
In this way, Emperor Yongzhao will become the strongest prince who surpasses the King of Yan!
"Does Zhao Qing know why my mother is so fond of you?"
When Chu Rong saw that Zhao Cuo didn't say anything, he suddenly changed the subject.
