Now he is not only taller than Zhao Huan, but his body has also become stronger. Especially the scar on his face looks fierce and has no trace of childishness. Anyone who sees him will no longer treat him as a child.
This year, Emperor Yuan Zhe was critically ill and urgently summoned Tu He, Zhao Huan, Er Zhuhua and Li Shou to the palace.
But Wu Zhijian was not summoned.
After Changsui City had been quiet for three years, it once again caused a big disturbance.
The atmosphere in the General's Mansion was extremely depressing, just like that day three years ago.
Mu Zhaojun got the news of Wu Zhijian's unusual movements, and after discussing with Lian Zhongyi, he concluded that Wu Zhijian was desperate to force the palace to seize power.
"He Zhi, take the dragon spear guards from the palace into the palace!"
He Zhidao: "Should we keep anyone in the house? What if Wu Zhijian sends people to attack the general's house again?"
Mu Zhaojun said: "He won't do it this time. Last time, Chen Xi was blocking the way, so he could take the opportunity to get rid of A Huan. But this time, his purpose is to kill A Huan, Tu He and others in the palace
, and then forced the emperor to make him a regent and regain his power, so he would not waste his power on us."
Lian Zhongyi said: "Madam, if Wu Zhijian is the only one to cause rebellion, this matter will not be difficult to solve, but I am worried that he has joined forces with Tu He."
Mu Zhaojun said: "The emperor summoned Tu He, A Huan, Er Zhuhua and Li Shou to the palace at this time. He should be appointing the four of them as auxiliary ministers. As the head of the auxiliary ministers, Tu He should not be harmonious.
Wu Zhijian joins forces."
Lian Zhongyi reminded: "Tu He and Wu Zhijian have been collaborating for many years. The two have many entangled interests. Maybe Tu He still has something in Wu Zhijian's hand, so we have to guard against it."
Mu Zhaojun thought for a moment and said: "Sir, what you said makes sense. Tu He's wife is a cousin of my Mu family. I will go to Tu's house personally and persuade Tu He's wife to send a message to Tu He. I believe Tu He
He can clearly distinguish the situation. Even if he has leverage over Wu Zhijian, when he becomes the head of the auxiliary ministers, what kind of leverage can shake him? He should want Wu Zhijian to die more than we do!"
Lian Zhongyi said: "Mrs. Mingjian!"
Hearing this, Zhao Er stepped forward and said: "Madam, since the house is safe, let me go this time!"
Mu Zhaojun looked at Zhao Er and said, "I have other plans for you."
After saying that, Mu Zhaojun looked at everyone and said sternly: "Go quickly! The future of the Zhao family is today!"
"yes!!!"
After everyone took the order and left, Mu Zhaojun walked up to Zhao Er and said: "Zhao Er, you are an adult now, so don't think that I underestimate you. The task I gave you is actually the most important."
Zhao Er's eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, please give me your instructions!"
Mu Zhaojun lowered his voice and said: "Ah Huan told me before he left that he knew there was a small road behind the emperor's palace, which was the shortest way out of the palace. If Wu Zhijian really wanted to force the palace, Taozhi would take him to that road.
Evacuate on the trail. You meet him on that trail!"
"yes!"
The 'Changsui Incident' happened as expected. In addition to Zhao Huan, the other three people who were summoned to the palace also had back-up plans. However, Wu Zhijian used all the power he had accumulated for many years, and a fierce and bloody battle still took place.
Yang Taozhi covered Zhao Huan's evacuation from the path Mu Zhaojun mentioned. By the time Zhao Er arrived, Yang Taozhi and Zhao Huan were under siege.
The two of them desperately escorted Zhao Huan out.
The carambola branches were covered with scars, and Zhao Er was hit by several arrows. If the arrows had not missed his vital points, he would have died.
Without Tu He's participation, the Changsui Incident ended with Wu Zhijian's failure.
Yuan Zhe died that night, and the new emperor Yuan Xiu ascended the throne. Tu He, Zhao Huan, Er Zhuhua, and Li Shou became auxiliary ministers to assist the ten-year-old Yuan Xiu in ruling the Dajing Empire.
Under the auspices of Tu He, Wu Zhijian was executed by the Nine Tribes.
The position of Da Sima was vacant, and Zhao Huan became the new Da Sima of Dajing.
Zhao Huan, who had become low-key for a long time, approached Tu He to obtain the executive power. At the risk of being retaliated by Wu Zhijian's remaining party, he drove out the Wu family and exterminated them all.
Because he promised Zhao Er that he would avenge him.
After Zhao Er recovered from his serious injury, he was no longer called Zhao Er.
His name became Zhao San.
After that, Zhao Huan finally asked Zhao San and Yang Taozhi to take him to the battlefield for training, just like He Zhi.
A year later, Zhao San blocked Zhao Huan's arrows on the battlefield and changed his name to Zhao Si.
This year, Zhao was forty-six years old.
After becoming the auxiliary minister, Zhao Huan remained as low-key as ever, never seeking credit, making enemies, or forming cliques, and gradually became the least transparent among the four auxiliary ministers.
Taiwei Erzhuhua developed his own power crazily and formed an alliance with Tu He to form a party of powerful ministers.
At the same time, the later party Feng was involved in politics and competed with the powerful party.
But no matter which side is stronger, it is the little emperor who suffers.
It has been many years since the founding of Dajing, and the imperial power has been declining from generation to generation. Er Zhuhua is even more arrogant than Wu Zhijian at the time. He beat and scolded the emperor, and even said that he should replace him frequently came from the Taiwei's mansion.
It was not until the "Feng Yuan Massacre" that the Quan Dang and the Hou Dang were completely eliminated, and Li Shou was also executed.
Zhao Huan and Yuan Zhang helped Yuan Xiu seize power. One became the prime minister and the other became the champion.
The status of the Zhao family reached its peak in Dajing.
But Zhao Huan still kept a low profile, because he knew very well that although the court no longer had Wu Zhijian, Er Zhuhua and Tu He, but...
There is also an emperor.
This emperor was not like his father, who trusted Zhao Huan so much that he could even save his life at a critical moment.
This emperor regarded him as a thorn in his side.
The emperor is more deadly than his political opponents, especially since the emperor grew up in a puppet environment and was very suspicious.
Therefore, Zhao Huan ignored Yuan Zhang's control of the empire's military power and replaced him as the number one military commander. He also ignored that his student Wen Tai was promoted by the emperor and gradually took away the power in his hands.
He even fully cooperated with the emperor's order to abolish the Dragonlance Guards and never complained.
He was low-key and peaceful, just to tell the emperor and the eldest princess that I, Zhao Huan, was deeply favored by the late emperor and was a loyal minister of the Jing Kingdom.
Even if the emperor doesn't think so.
Dajing reigned for five years.
Zhao Huan took his eldest son Zhao Cheng, escorted by fifty Prime Minister's Manor soldiers led by Yang Taozhi and Zhao Si to the Qingping Manor outside the city.
Qingping Manor is located on the mountain east of Changsui. It was a summer resort given to Wen Tai by Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu never gave the manor to Zhao Huan, but he gave it to Wen Tai, which shows how favored Wen Tai was.
Wen Tai invited the teacher to the manor for a banquet, perhaps with the intention of showing off.
But Zhao Huan didn't think so. Wen Tai was his most outstanding student, and the relationship between the two had always been good since they met. Although Wen Tai's rapid promotion affected Zhao Huan's power, Zhao Huan never blamed Wen Tai.
Wen Tai's attitude towards Zhao Huan has never changed and remains as respectful as ever.
After receiving Wen Tai's invitation, Zhao Huan thought that the meeting place would not be in Changsui City, but at a manor outside the city. It must be that Wen Tai had some secret matters to discuss.
Therefore, Zhao Huan did not engage in any major war, and he only led less than a hundred people, so he traveled lightly.
He didn't know it at this time.
This trip will change the life of his eldest son Zhao Cheng.
It will also completely change the fate of his Zhao family.
