Open the simple mode after wearing the book

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

Chang Anhou looked at his daughter and said: "Now the situation in the capital is changing, there should be no delay on the way, return to Beijing as soon as possible."

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

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

Zhang Wenli looked at his father silently in the hidden place, and seeing that the old Hou Ye had spotted him, he turned around and walked deep into the woods.

The old Hou Ye wanted to talk to Zhang Wenli alone. He refused the support of his entourage and walked step by step in the direction where Zhang Wenli left. It was strange to say that Zhang Wenli walked very slowly, and he only chose easy places to go. It's like waiting for the old master.

The old Hou Ye didn't speak, just followed him like this. After walking for a while, Zhang Wenli stopped, his back turned to his father, and his voice was calm: "Father, what do you want to say to me?"

Looking at the thin back of his youngest son, the old Hou Ye felt guilty, but now it is important to take him back, "Wenli, come home with me."

Zhang Wenli turned around and looked at his father, looking at his hunched body. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was sadness or resentment. He smiled: "Father, are you going to abandon me again? It's not right to say that, it was fake before, and I The crime committed now is real."

These words were a bit heart-wrenching, but the old Marquis did not regret what happened back then. His tone was very firm, "I know you are resentful, but as a subject, this is what we should do. If you were not so proud back then, you would not be so proud." Those things happen."

Although so many years had passed, even though Zhang Wenli understood his father's attitude very well, he still couldn't help feeling 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, and it was my fault to fight for the country!"

"It's my fault that I look down on the emperor's benevolence because of my arrogance!"

"I was slandered by the emperor and still complained, it's my fault!"

Zhang Wenli's voice was sad and full of despair. He looked at the old Hou Ye as if he was asking, "May I ask Father, what other mistakes do I have?"

The old Hou Ye was speechless. This is the reason why he dared not face Zhang Wenli for so many years. He felt ashamed in his heart. Seeing Zhang Wenli calm down a little, the old Hou Ye continued: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but you can't face it. For my subjects..."

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

For so many years, the only thing that Zhang Wenxiang and Chang Anhou said is actually this sentence, but Chang Anhou always avoids him. If it wasn't for this time that he wanted to make him obey the law through family affection, he might just hide like this in this life .

The old Hou Ye has not lost his conscience, but in his heart, it is more important to protect the country of this other family than personal gains and losses, so he began to quibble: "I know that I was the one who was sorry for you back then, but you can't retaliate because of what happened back then. Daxin, come back with me and I can save your life."

He had known for a long time that this was a fruitless negotiation. Zhang Wenli didn't get the answer he wanted, and now he could only feel ashamed. He didn't answer the old Lord's question and talked about other things: "Don't father know that the emperor now You see your sister as a threat, and you let her go back to Beijing alone, you probably want to give up on her."

"This is what she should do, this is the duty of a courtier."

"Did you know that she would die because of this? You don't understand the emperor's thoughts."

Old Hou Ye was silent for a while, and finally said: "That is her fate."

Suddenly there was a sound from behind the old Hou Ye. At some time, Zhang Wenqi had already arrived here.

Yun Gu managed to lure Zhang Wenqi here so that she could hear the entire conversation between the two. Zhang Wenqi couldn't believe that the emperor whom she had respected for so many years planned to slander her younger brother, and she couldn't believe that her father was so heartless.

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

Seeing his daughter's expression of disbelief, old Hou Ye felt a chill in his heart, and he hurriedly explained: "Qi'er, it's not what you think."

But no matter what the old master said, Zhang Wenqi didn't want to pay any attention to it. She brought her father and younger brother back to Jinzhou City and canceled her plan to return to Beijing.

And the emperor was also preparing for the expedition. As Wu You said, the emperor sent someone to monitor Wu Zhan, and this person was very enthusiastic.

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 was on guard against the people sent by the emperor. In short, there is nothing wrong with being more careful, and Wu Zhan has sent many letters to Zhang Wenqi but has not received a response. Uneasy, always feel that something is wrong.

"What is father worrying about? Frowning."

Hearing his daughter's words of concern, Wu Zhan let go of his worries for the time being. Wu You should have stayed in the general's mansion. The emperor didn't let her go to the battlefield, but this child sneaked out somehow. Wu Zhan had no choice but to let her go. Can take her with me.

"I have sent many letters to Marshal Zhang but there is no response. I have tried my best to procrastinate. I have to let her come back quickly, otherwise I will really become a traitor."

Wu You curled her lips, as if she was joking: "Maybe, maybe there will be a prince to force the palace or something."

Wu Zhan was taken aback in his heart. It was a bit treasonous to say the truth. He seriously reminded his daughter: "You can't say this, and be careful not to cause trouble."

In the past, Wu You might have been afraid, but now she has seen clearly that no matter how careful and loyal they are, they cannot escape persecution, because in the eyes of the emperor, they are all terrible threats.

Wu You didn't argue with his father, this battle will never be fought, Wu You was worried that his father would be assassinated, so he followed quietly, and Azi had already planned the rest of the matter.

I have to say that the crown prince is really stupid, he just lied to him and really believed that Wu Zhan would help him kill his father and seize the throne, but this is also good, and it saves a lot of things.

Seeing her leisurely look, Wu Zhan knew that she didn't take this matter to heart, so he couldn't help but sighed and wanted to remind his daughter again.

A soldier hurried over: "Report! Zhang Wenqi raised his troops to rebel! Jinzhou and the border areas have all fallen."

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and Wu Zhan couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but stood up and asked sharply, "Who are you talking about rebelling?"

"Report to the general, it's Zhang Wenqi."

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

"It is said that the emperor is not benevolent now and wants to clean up the family 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 the bad news.

"Report! The crown prince forced the palace, please general rescue the emperor as soon as possible."

Wu Zhan's heart sank, this was exactly what Wu You said, Wu Zhan couldn't help but look at his daughter, seeing her calm expression, not surprised by what happened one after another.

Although he had doubts in his heart, now was 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, and on the other hand, sent people to the direction of the capital to rescue the emperor.

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

Wu You didn't deny it; "Yes, father."

Wu Zhan felt a little anxious, but after so many things, he was not as impulsive towards Wu You as before. He tried his best to restrain himself, and just asked softly, "Why? Who is helping you?"

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."

Tears welled up in the corners of Wu You's eyes as she spoke, "Does father know? How panicked I was when you disappeared."

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

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

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

Wu You wiped the tears from the corners of his 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 the current law, his ending is inevitable. I just want to protect you."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but my father has worked so hard all these years, and he only praised him verbally. Zhang Wenli was once praised by the military as the next Marquis of Chang'an. Now everyone has changed the saying, saying that Aunt Zhang is better than Chang'an back then. Even better, but these two people rebelled inexplicably, does father just think it's a coincidence?"

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

Wu Zhan read the letter, his heart was full of turmoil, and he sat on the stool in a daze.

Wu You didn't urge him to make a decision, but just watched him quietly from the sidelines.

After a long time, he sighed: "Forget it, you can do it if you want."

Wu You was delighted to see that the matter had come to fruition, and seeing the uncontrollable exhaustion on her father's face, she felt distressed: "I don't want to force you like this, but if I don't..."

In fact, Wu Zhan was not angry, he just figured it out, he smiled and explained to his daughter: "I understand, your mother, my sister, was killed by the emperor, and later the emperor rescued me, it's not indebted to both." Well, when I joined the army, I just wanted you to have a better life, and then I fought for more than ten years, and the people on the border are simple and honest, looking at their smiles, it seems that all the hard work is worthwhile."

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

"I am loyal to the people, not to the emperor. In this way, I am no different from the rebels, hahaha!"

After laughing, Wu Zhan asked Wu You cautiously: "Can you still call me father?"

Wu You suddenly felt sad, "Of course, no matter in the past or now, you are my father. What I recognize is not blood but love."

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