Chapter 609 Because of you
Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile helplessly. He turned around and looked at Zhao Xu and said, "I know I can't hide it from my elder brother, but this is also the fate between my second sister and Le Kong. Even the Buddha can't stop them, so my father and I can only help them as much as possible. ↑,"
The person who spoke was Zhao Xu. He saw Zhao Yan telling him the truth without hesitation, and a smile appeared on his face and came to Zhao Yan and said, "It's not only me that I can see it, I believe Han Qi and a few old foxes have also seen it. But they don't want to make their father dissatisfied because of this kind of thing, and they don't want to make enemies with you, the world-renowned erudite prince, so they remain silent. Otherwise, today's affairs might not be good!"
"So that's it. I said why Han Qi and the others are more honest than the other today. It turns out that this is the reason. It seems that I have to accept their love." Zhao Yan also said with a sudden look on his face when he heard this. Today, Zhou Shen and a few censors in the court objected a few words. Han Qi and several other ministers did not express their opinion. They did not express their opinion. Most of the court officials also made wood. This is also an important reason why the marriage was granted by Kong Kong to be successfully passed. Otherwise, even with Zhao Shu's support, it would have to take a lot of effort.
"Of course, Han Qi and others are all old-fashioned. They are unwilling to do things that are not good and offend people. What's more, the second sister's marriage does not have much conflict of interest with them. Since that's the case, they are even more unwilling to stand up for this matter." Zhao Xu smiled again and said. If he talked about things in the court, he would be much better than Zhao Yan.
"Haha~, it would be best if they don't want to intervene, which saves me a lot of trouble. But what do you think? Do you mind Lekkong's previous identity?" Zhao Yan said at the end, deliberately tempted Zhao Xu's opinion. Later, Lekkong became the son-in-law and became a minister of the Song Dynasty, while Zhao Xu was the future king of a country, so his view of Lekkong also affected Kong's life in the future.
"Haha, as long as the second sister is willing, I will never object. However, when it comes to Kong, it is not easy to grow from a monk to a generation of heroes on the sea. It also proves Kong's ability. Unfortunately, after he became the son-in-law, he needs to avoid suspicion of some things, and I don't know how to use him anymore. So I am afraid that at most he will be like his eldest brother-in-law in the future. No matter how great the contribution he makes, it will be difficult for him to enter the core of power of the court!" Zhao Xu said without hesitation.
"Haha. It's the best. I'm going to be the one who is the same. To a certain extent, we are all the same kind of people. If it weren't for the purpose of improving our identity, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to become a pirate. Now that the purpose has been achieved, he probably wouldn't have been to sleep with his second sister and be a carefree couple." Zhao Yan said with a smile when he heard this.
In fact, he also wanted to ignore the external affairs and stay at home, but unfortunately he had to come forward for some things. For example, for the safety of the Song Dynasty, he could not watch the Song Dynasty slide into the abyss, and he could not only care about himself and his children and grandchildren, and let them experience the catastrophe in the history of the Song Dynasty. That's why he did this, hoping to use his own strength to change the trajectory of history. Although he has achieved some achievements now, some history still has not changed, such as Zhao Shu's short life and Wang Anshi's reforms that are likely to come in the future.
When Zhao Xu heard Zhao Shu's words, he just smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he began to ask about the situation of the Rakshasa Army. Although Zhao Xu learned about these through official channels, he knew that with the relationship between Zhao Yan and Le Kong, he must have known more. Zhao Yan did not hide this and told him what he knew about the Rakshasa Army.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "In this way, in addition to Xu Yuan, the leader of the Rakshasa Army, there are two other important deputy leaders. They are commanding a Rakshasa Army, and these two deputy leaders did not enter the capital with Xu Yuan. It seems that Xu Yuan is also guarding against the court!"
Hearing Zhao Xu's last words, Zhao Yan felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what do you mean by that? Will Ko still worry that we will harm him?"
"Haha, third brother, as the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable. A sea hero like Xu Yuan must understand this better, so it is normal for him to be careful of us, and this is not necessarily his own arrangement. Perhaps his subordinates are not willing to come with him to take risks in the capital, so Xu Yuan came to the capital alone." Zhao Xu smiled again. When he asked about the situation of the Rakshasa Army, he actually wanted to incorporate the Rakshasa Army as soon as possible. After all, there is such an uncontrollable maritime force on the side of the Song Dynasty, which really makes people sleep uneasy.
However, Zhao Yan still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Zhao Xu's words. Even Zhao Xu said goodbye to him, he just perfunctorily and boarded his own carriage. However, he did not go home, but ordered the coachman to take him to the inn where he stayed, and then waited for Kong to come back in the living room. He wanted to ask in person.
Zhao Yan waited until almost afternoon, and then Lekong returned from the palace. Seeing his smiling face, he probably had a good chat with Zhao Shu. However, when Lekong saw Zhao Yan waiting for him, he was stunned, and then stepped forward and smiled, "Why didn't the prince go back? Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Yan felt very uncomfortable at this time, because he regarded Likong as a friend, but this friend was on guard against him, so he became more and more angry the more he thought about it. Finally, he simply asked: "Likong, in addition to you, there are two deputy leaders of the Luosha Army, Yu Niang and Evil Ghost. They are in charge of part of the Luosha Army's troops, but this time they did not enter Beijing with you. Are you guarding against the imperial court?"
When he heard Zhao Yan's questioning in a blunt manner, Lekong was stunned at first, and then he was silent for a long time. When Zhao Yan was about to wait in time, he saw Lekong and then said, "Prince, there is a small river behind the inn. The scenery by the river is not bad. Why don't we go there and talk while walking. I just want to talk about some things. I also want to ask someone to talk about it."
"Okay!" Zhao Yan nodded immediately and agreed. It seemed that Kok was indeed hiding something from him, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. He followed Kok to the river behind the inn. The river bank was full of willow trees, and the cool breeze blew, which was very comfortable.
"You can say it now!" Zhao Yan urged in a very unhappy tone.
At this moment, Lekong first glanced at Zhao Yan, then sighed and said, "Your prince just said it right. I am indeed guarding against the court. In fact, before I came, I told Yu Niang and the others that if the court was not good for me, then they would take people to Goryeo or Japan. With their strength, it should be easy to take root there."
"Why, don't you even believe me and my second sister?" Zhao Yan said incomprehensible at this time. He and Lekong can be regarded as a friend of life and death. Even Zhao Yan is still Lekong's brother-in-law. In Zhao Yan's heart, he also regards the other party as his best friend, but Lekong is guarding against him, which makes him unable to understand anyway.
"Oh, of course I can trust the prince. Just the prince, you are just a prince. The Song Dynasty court is not the only one who decides. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are above you. You have also told me that there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. The existence of our Rakshasa Army has threatened the safety of the coast of the Song Dynasty, so I have to be careful!"
After hearing Kong say this, Zhao Yan was about to refute it, but when Kong saw Kong, he smiled and interrupted him and continued: "Maybe the prince thinks that I do this is a distrust of you, but the prince should know that people will change. Although I have developed very smoothly in the past few years, I have also seen too many ugliness in the world. For a little benefit, brothers can turn against each other, fathers and sons can become enemies, and friends are countless, and even couples cannot fully believe it. Prince, you have always said that I have changed a lot. In fact, even I have found that I have changed a lot, but with my current state of mind, I am afraid I will never be able to return to my previous appearance."
When Zhao Yan heard Kong's words, his expression changed. He didn't expect that three years of life on the sea would have such a big impact on Kong, and even friends could not fully trust him. Is this kind of Kong still the one that his second sister liked?
When Lekong saw the change in his expression on Zhao Yan's face, he guessed what he was thinking. He immediately spoke again: "But although my changes have been great, my feelings for the princess have not changed at all. He just likes to leave a way out for himself when doing things."
"I know, if your relationship with your second sister changes, I'm afraid you won't risk coming to the capital and sending the forces you have worked hard to build to the Song Dynasty." Zhao Yan nodded immediately.
However, just as Zhao Yan finished speaking, she saw Kong unexpectedly and shook her head, then pondered for a moment before showing a frank smile and said, "The prince is wrong this time. Although the main reason I came to the capital is for the princess, in addition to the princess, there is another person who has to come to the capital!"
"Oh? Do you like another woman?" Zhao Yan was surprised and angry when she heard this. Her second sister is a princess, and by the way, Li Kong is so infatuated. She has been waiting for him for three years, but Li Kong actually has a woman she likes, so I'm so sorry for her.
