Han Shizu

Chapter 1835 Confession
The night was getting deeper and darker, shrouded in Rongguo Gongfu. Zhao Kuangyin was still sitting behind the food table, but he had stopped his cups and looked deep in thought. The lights in the tea room seemed a little dim, shining on Zhao Kuangyin's face, It is even more dark.

After seeing off Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Defang walked in slowly, glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, bowed and said, "Father, third uncle is gone!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Kuangyin responded, straightened up a little, and told the maid next to him, "Remove all the wine and meat!"

"Yes!"

The maid is very beautiful. After all, she is a court lady bestowed by Emperor Liu. She has a beautiful appearance, a charming figure, outstanding temperament, and decent manners. She is good at taking care of others. Zhao Kuangyin has always loved her.

However, seeing her and the two servants taking down the food and drink, and noticing her graceful back when she left, her somewhat blurred eyes gradually became sharper, filled with coldness, and said to Zhao Defang: "You will take this The woman has dealt with it!"

Zhao Defang was slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Why? She is your maidservant who has always been loved by you, not to mention, it was bestowed by His Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, waved his thin hand weakly, and sighed: "It is because of His Majesty's gift that we have to deal with it. Just now, your third uncle and I were really careless and had to do it."

Perhaps in order to express his guilt, Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, and then ordered: "It is said that she fell into the lake by mistake and drowned. In addition, you can pay a sum of money from the warehouse and send it to her family according to the situation. Pay her for the hard work of serving me all these years!"

"Yes!" Hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhao Defang nodded and responded softly: "I will make arrangements later!"

Although Zhao Defang is a gentle gentleman, he is definitely not aimed at those ordinary people. As for these servants who are dependent on personal relationships, they are even more inappropriate. Of course, the maids who were dealt with came from the palace, which is probably a relatively special place, but Need some excuses, do it right.

Here, Zhao Kuangyin was holding on to the food table to get up, probably because he had been sitting for a long time, and his body was a little stiff. Seeing this, Zhao Defang hurried forward to help him.Observing the old man's aging, sick and frail appearance, Zhao Defang said with a choked up voice, "Father, take care!"

Seeing his sympathy, Zhao Kuangyin regained his energy in an instant, and lightly reprimanded: "What a good man, why are you acting like a woman and put away your tears!"

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin, who was still strong and strong, Zhao Defang opened his mouth and tried his best to calm down the sadness lingering in his heart, but his eyes were still red, and said: "You are so sick, why are you here?"

Sensing Zhao Defang's indignant questioning, Zhao Kuangyin also asked back: "Why?"

Leaning gently on Zhao Defang's body, and walking slowly towards the outside, Zhao Kuangyin's old voice was free and easy: "Why are you here! I have suffered so much from this illness over the years, rather than being tortured to the last To die, it is better to have a good time, to go happily..."

That's what I said, but it's not easy to see through life and death, especially for a hero like Zhao Kuangyin, who is called free and easy, but is actually depressed and has no choice. The sadness and sadness in it are beyond anyone else's understanding of.

Walking slowly among the corridors in the mansion, the night breeze finally became a little cooler, Zhao Kuangyin's alcohol dissipated a lot, and said to Zhao Defang who was supporting him: "The court will not calm down in a short time, the tax reform, the controversy Incessantly, once it is officially launched and the order is issued, I am afraid that it will be full of troubles, and there will be no shortage of troubles.

There are not a few people in the whole court, no matter honorable or official, who can't understand the situation clearly, and there must be someone who wants to fight against the great government.

I know these people, and I also know Your Majesty, if there is anyone in this world who can stand up to the nobles, officials, and landlords in the world, then there is Your Majesty!

Just watch, people will die, many, many people will die!Next, the blood of the big man will be much more than that of dealing with some lawless nobles and corrupt officials, you have to be careful..."

As he walked, Zhao Kuangyin confessed to Zhao Defang: "Some preparations can be made in advance, such as taking a clear inventory of property and land, including servants, hired workers, and tenants, and registering and registering, especially the land. What is concealed and concealed, everything is recorded according to the facts...

In addition, I have drawn up a list of members, old friends, and disciples of my Zhao family. You write a letter on my behalf, telling them that the family has family rules, but the national law must come first.

Let them keep themselves safe, behave well, don't cause trouble, no matter what they do, they should abide by the law and obey the law, not to be unscrupulous, let alone fight against the great government of the court.

If he violates the law, I will not allow him first!The content is roughly the same, the wording can be stricter, after you think about it, send the letter..."

As he spoke, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sighed heavily.

Listening carefully to Zhao Kuangyin's instructions, Zhao Defang seemed a little hesitant, and said in a low voice, "Is it more appropriate for my elder brother to do these things?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised, turned his head to look at Zhao Defang in surprise, pondered for a while, and said gently: "Isn't he in Xiangzhou?"

After a short pause, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Give your brother a letter and let him know. I'm very relieved of him, he can handle it well!"

"Yes!" Seeing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhao Defang replied solemnly.

For his only second son, Zhao Kuangyin has always been very fond of him, and it seems that he can faintly see his youthful temperament from his young and handsome face.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuangyin talked again: "For my father now, what worries me is not the suspicion within the palace walls, nor is my life in the near future!

There are two things that worry me the most. One is your sister. Within the East Palace, the dispute between the two concubines, the Zhao family and the Murong family, and the heir's dispute, these have already begun and will only become more intense in the future. , It's just that I can't see that day anymore, and I can't provide much help. In the future, I can only rely on you brothers..."

Zhao Defang listened quietly with a serious expression, and couldn't help saying: "Isn't there still a third uncle?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and sighed again: "The second worry is precisely your third uncle. Your third uncle has great ambitions and a high reputation. In terms of intelligence, he is far better than me. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely become a famous A generation of ministers in history.

But his thoughts are too complicated, and he is too eager for fame. Although he is scheming, he has become more and more impatient in recent years.

After talking with him tonight, I am even more worried. With his current mentality, facing the current political situation of the big man, he is likely to stumble, or even be lost...

He has a firm mind, I can't persuade him anymore, and there's no law to persuade him, if something happens, I'm afraid your brothers will be implicated too!
Therefore, you have to remember that as long as His Majesty is in power, you must keep a distance from your third uncle as much as possible, and don't get involved in his affairs.

In this way, even if there is something wrong, my hard work in this life may still save you brothers..."

"You have been an official for some years. When I die, find a chance and let me be an official. In the local area, you can also stay away from the disputes of the court and keep your useful body. It is the same sentence, Your Majesty will be in one day. , don't go back to Beijing..."

Listening to Zhao Kuangyin's tireless and tireless teaching, and feeling the sadness in his words, Zhao Defang burst into tears before he knew it...
