Zhao Mo took Zhao Qi out of his father's house. He had already set a time for Zhao Shuo to leave Beijing, which would be the day after tomorrow. This time, Zhao Shuo would never have a chance to escape. It seemed that the latter also

I gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of it.

Zhao Qi has been hanging his head since he left the door, with red eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged. When Zhao Mo saw this, he comforted him: "Are you sad about father's neglect? Don't be sad, father is just neglecting you.

That's all, at least I didn't kick you out directly. Besides, after he went to Suning, you won't be able to see him twice in a year, so there's nothing to worry about." After saying that, he turned around and looked at the door behind him, "Wait until father leaves.

Now, let me change the people in the house. If you want to come back, you can come back at any time, and no one will make you angry again. I remember that the yard where you lived before was quite spacious, and it was better than your yard in other yards.

More spacious.”

Zhao Qi whispered: "I don't feel bad, and I won't move back. The yard here... I used to live with my aunt, and she didn't care about me. Staying and facing the old house is annoying. Big brother

Although the courtyard in the other courtyard is smaller, the entire courtyard belongs to me, and I live comfortably. Brother, don’t worry, I won’t disturb you. When you get married, I will just stay in the outer courtyard if anything happens.

Just tell Ah Shou and I won’t bother my sister-in-law."

Zhao Mo laughed when he heard this and patted his little head: "Where did you learn all these tricks like you?"

Zhao Qi blushed and lowered his head. He didn't dare to say that he overheard the maids and sisters talking and joking in private, and figured it out by himself. People said that newlyweds don't want to be disturbed. He is so grateful to his eldest brother and likes his sister-in-law so much. Of course,

I won't be that annoying person who waits without blinking.

The two brothers were standing on the roadside talking. At this time, an elder from the clan who lived not far away happened to pass by on horseback with his entourage. Seeing Zhao Mo here, he turned his horse and came over: "Isn't this Brother Mo?

?I heard that you returned to the capital at noon yesterday. I didn't expect to come to see your father so early in the morning. How is your father? I haven't seen him for several months. What has he been busy with all day?

Don’t pay attention to anyone either.”

Obviously, the elder of the clan was just polite in greeting Zhao Shuo. Less than five feet in front of him was Zhao Shuo's door. If he really wanted to see Zhao Shuo, he could just get off his horse and knock on the door. There is no need for special

Go ask Zhao Mo?

Sure enough, he quickly continued to ask what he was curious about: "Is this your little brother? He has grown so big. I hugged him when he was a child. He was much fatter and fatter than he is now. What's going on?

?You look so jealous, have you ever cried? Are you angry with your father again?"

Zhao Mo showed a shy smile, saluted and said hello to the elder of the clan, and asked Zhao Qi to greet others. Zhao Qi obeyed the instructions honestly, which is called a well-behaved and honest person, but also revealed a bit of timidity, which made him feel happy.

People can't help but feel affection when they see him. In addition, Zhao Mo hesitated to explain why his younger brother had red circles, and during the greetings he revealed that his father would rush to his fiefdom, Suning County, in the near future. The clan elder immediately expressed his concern.

I figured out the causes and consequences.

He said angrily: "Brother Mo, you have such a good temper! It's okay to be filial to your father, but you don't have to obey him in everything, right? He obviously has bad intentions and wants to gain power in your fiefdom.

! In order to prevent others from gossiping about him, he went around telling people that you forced him to go to Suning, but he didn’t want to go. You beat and scolded him. Even Uncle Wang Shuning couldn’t stand hearing it anymore.

After reprimanding him severely, he continues to spread rumors in the clan, as if we are all fools and will be deceived by his empty words."

Nowadays, the general view in the clan is that Zhao Shuo is slandering his son. He not only wants to gain power in his son's fiefdom, but also does not want to bear the bad reputation, so he lies everywhere, saying that his son forced him to go to the fiefdom. But in fact, Zhao Shuo

Mo returned to his fiefdom, and Zhao Shuo was still living well in the capital. No one forced him to do anything. On the contrary, Zhao Shuo himself transported his concubine and servants, a large amount of luggage, and even the furniture and furnishings at home in advance.

Suning went to Suning, not on his son Zhao Mo's boat, but on a separate fleet. Didn't this tell people clearly that he had been planning for a long time? While he was moving his people and things to Suning, he also took advantage of the opportunity.

Only a fool would believe his words if he goes around ruining his son's reputation when he is not in the capital!

Regardless of Zhao Shuo's past glory days, he seemed to have a wide circle of friends in Beijing and was quite popular in the clan. In fact, half of it was because of the help of the Wang family, and the other half was because other clan members thought he was famous.

Now that he has power and a bright future, he became friends with him. He doesn't know much about how to behave, and his communication skills are actually very poor. Once he doesn't have the Wang family to support him, and he loses his ambition, he will

He was no longer interested in socializing. He was originally from the Liao Prince's palace and grew up in Liao. He did not have many years of friendship with the royal family in the capital. When he was in glory, he only knew how to exchange benefits with others, but did not know how to make sincere friendships and accumulate friendship.

In addition, now that the friendship between the families has not been maintained, those clan connections have naturally gradually been lost.

Nowadays, everyone knows that Zhao Shuo was not favored by the Holy One, and he had reconciled with the Xiao Wang family. He had also been involved in a rebellion case. There were some unclear things, and he even lost his title. Although there was someone who was favored by the Holy One.

You can take care of your son to a certain extent, but he insists on trying hard to get along with this son. He talks about his son in front of others all day long. Some of the clan members have already recognized his nature in their hearts, and they turn against him and disdain to associate with him;

If you have a clear concept of black and white, you will never believe what he says if you think he is a bad person; there are also people who are on good terms with Zhao Mo and naturally side with Zhao Mo; in addition, there are people who see Zhao Mo gaining power and Zhao Shuo losing power.

, even if it is for profit, he still knows how to stand in line... In short, it can be said that there are only a few clan members who are willing to give Zhao Shuo a good face. Zhao Shuo can do this, which is rare among the clans of this dynasty.

He thought he had escaped the clutches of his eldest son and spent more than a month freely in the capital. In fact, he just sat back and watched his reputation being destroyed by various rumors, and watched as he became the most unpopular person in the clan.

He is a character, and no one believes him even if he makes every possible excuse. He knows that his current situation must have something to do with his eldest son, but he has no choice but to feel some regret in his heart. If he had known that he would have died more than a month ago.

He left. At that time, his reputation was not bad. Even if he went to Suning, he would still have a chance to make a comeback. But now...does he still have a foothold in the capital? Even if he could come back, not a single person in the clan would say a good word for him.

There are no people in the palace, and the palace will not announce his promotion, so how can he turn around?

The reason why Zhao Shuo gave up the struggle, accepted the arrangement of his eldest son, and went to Suning honestly was because he realized how cruel the reality was. He finally knew that he could not truly become the emperor's heir. He was not the material at all!

He is no match for his son who has not yet reached the crown, so how can he participate in the battle for the throne? He is still alive and well today, with his concubine by his side, and he is about to have another son. He is really lucky.

Of course, it is impossible for other clans to know these thoughts of Zhao Shuo. The clan elder who met Zhao Mo and Zhao Qi still believed that Zhao Shuo was an unkind father. And when he learned that Zhao Shuo was about to go to Suning, he

His heart was filled with worries about Zhao Mo: "You must remember to tell the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince about these things! I will also go to the Zong Ling to talk about it. We must guard against this kind of thing! You

If you are willing to take your father to the fief to support you, that is your filial piety, but it is your father's fault to take the opportunity to plot against you. Your fief is yours, and no one can take it away. You must not do it because you want to

Out of concern for filial piety, you foolishly gave up the power given to you by the Emperor!"

Zhao Mo still had a gentle and shy smile on his face: "Don't worry, my nephew knows what to do." Then he added, "Father would never do such a thing, you are overly worried."

The clan elder sighed, reminded him a few more words, and left. He felt that it was necessary to tell people, why is this kid Zhao Mo so stubborn? I really don’t know what it is about a person like Zhao Shuo.

He gave birth to such a good son. Is it really true that Marquis Yongjia taught him well? Yes, the students under Marquis Yongjia are all very knowledgeable and talented, and their conduct is impeccable. Zhao Mo can study with him, which is really better than Liu

It's much better to be with my biological father...

Zhao Mo watched the elders of the clan leave and looked down at Zhao Qi. The two brothers smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, and Zhao Mo raised his hand, and a carriage came to pick them up.

Zhao Mo and Zhao Qi left, and Zhao Shuo's house fell into chaos. Although Ma Meiniang and a large number of maids and servants had brought a batch of furniture and furnishings, they were sent by Zhao Mo on a ship to Suning a month ago.

, but there are still a lot of people and luggage left in the house. We are going to leave the day after tomorrow, and we have a lot of things to pack, and I don’t know if I’ll make it in time.

Jiang Chenghui stayed at the house, while Shao Lusheng continued to manage the property. Lan Fusheng was confirmed to be a Beirong spy and his whereabouts had long been unknown. Only Zhen Zhong was left, who still stayed with Zhao Shuo and would serve him to Suning in the future. Zhen Zhong ordered his men

After he packed up his things, he stood in the front yard and watched the Zhao Mo brothers leave through the threshold, feeling a trance in his heart.

At that time, Zhao Shuo abandoned his wife and son and pursued the throne of the emperor. As a servant, he also actively used the banner of loyalty to teach Zhao Mo a lesson and reprimanded Zhao Mo for his own ambition. He thought that Zhao Mo was a burden to his master and refused to obey the arrangements.

Who would have thought that seven years later, he and his master Zhao Shuo would be defeated in Suning in disgrace, unable to show off any dignity?

Because Jiang Cheng once expressed goodwill to Zhao Mo, he could continue to maintain his current life; Shao Lusheng had some ambiguity with Zhao Mo for a long time, so naturally he would not lose his job; but he became the one who was expelled

1. Did he do something wrong back then? If he had been a little kinder to his little master at that time, would he not be in such an embarrassing situation today?

Zhen Zhong asked himself, but could not get the answer. He could only drag his heavy footsteps and go back to serve the master he was loyal to. He had been loyal to Zhao Shuo for many years, and he could only continue to be loyal, otherwise his life would be ruined.
