Chapter 497: Uncle and Nephew Conversation

Zhao Hongqing continued: "Sixth Uncle, please open your eyes and take a look at the Wei State. Today, the Wei State not only has strong soldiers and horses, but even millions of troops are out on the battlefield. The people in the country can still live and work in peace and contentment, and have meat to eat every day.

Wearing clothes every season, isn’t it possible that the Wei State, where the people now have enough food and clothing, is not what you want to see?”

Zhao Changping said harshly: "You are very sharp-tongued."

Zhao Hongqing shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, I didn't want to tell you these things to my sixth uncle, but since you talked about my father, I have to say it even to rectify my father's name. Can you?

Do you know why my father is determined to conquer all countries and unify the world?"

Zhao Changping said: "Isn't it because you want to be like the First Emperor and become a peerless emperor who has no one before or since?"

Zhao Hongqing said calmly: "There are some factors, but the real reason is that my father is afraid that the people in the world will suffer from war, so I need to use force to stop the chaos. Nephew, I don't need to tell you? You may not believe it, but the fact is

, indeed it is.”

Zhao Changping sneered and said: "He, Zhao Changqing, also cares about the people of the world? Ridiculous!"

Zhao Hongqing took a deep breath and said sternly: "Having said this, I won't waste any more words with you, Uncle Six. Today, I am here to ask you, Uncle Six, to move to the ancestral temple. There are many elders from the royal family there. Maybe, Uncle Six, you will also

I can see some familiar people.”

Zhao Changping snorted coldly, sat on the dirty ground, and said: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just here. Let alone acquaintances. Now, the people guarding the ancestral temple should be your father and emperor outside Luoyang City.

Selected from the Zhao clan, right?"

Zhao Hongqing smiled bitterly and said: "Is that true? Why don't you bother Uncle Six to do some hard work tonight? Wait until early tomorrow morning? Someone will force Uncle Six to come to the ancestral temple."

Finished? He is leaving.

After taking only two steps, Zhao Changping stopped him, "Wait a minute."

Prince Zhao Hongqing lowered himself very low and said, "I wonder if Uncle Liu has any other instructions?"

Zhao Changping took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his boots and threw it to Zhao Hongqing through the gap in the wooden fence.

Zhao Hongqing took the dragon-shaped jade pendant and asked puzzledly: "This is?"

Zhao Changping said calmly: "Your imperial grandfather gave it to me when I was born. Since I don't have much gift for my nephew, I will give you this jade pendant that I always carry with me."

Zhao Hongqing looked at this jade pendant and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhao Changping looked at him and smiled and said mockingly: "Don't feel sorry for me just because I gave you a jade pendant? Do you want to let me live? Tell you what? If I fall into your hands, I will know that I can't survive. You

My father will definitely try his best to make me die."

Zhao Hongqing asked: "Why did Uncle Six give me this jade pendant?"

Zhao Changping said: "Because of your uncle Liu."

After saying that, he turned around, faced the wall, and sat cross-legged.

Zhao Hongqing took a deep breath, bowed deeply to him and said, "Uncle Six, take a rest early."

As soon as he left the dungeon, he saw his mother waiting for him at the door of the dungeon.

He hurriedly went up to greet me, "Mother, how come you, a rich man, can come to a place like this?"

He Ning smiled and said, "What? You can come, but I can't come, queen mother?"

Zhao Hongqing smiled bitterly and said, "I don't mean that."

He Ning nodded, "Mother knows, what did you and your sixth uncle say?"

"It's nothing more than talking about the merits and demerits of the past few years. I have already told my sixth uncle that I will take him to the ancestral temple tomorrow so that he can repent in front of Grandpa Huang's memorial tablet." At this point, Zhao Hongqing took out the piece of cake.

He handed the dragon-shaped jade pendant to He Ning and said, "Mother, this jade pendant was given to me by my sixth uncle. He said he gave me this jade pendant because I called him uncle six."

Hearing this, He Ning sighed: "Why do you still rebel when you know that rebellion will inevitably fail? Sometimes, I really don't understand your father's brothers. The general trend of the world is already like this, why bother to let the people continue to have more wars?"

Zhao Hongqing thought for a while and said: "Perhaps as the queen mother said, my father and several of my uncles are among the best. As long as they live in this world, they will definitely compete for the supreme position. After all, Jiulong

There are nine real dragons to seize the direct descendants! My son once heard Uncle Yu Ming say that except for my father, any of my uncles who ascends the throne can manage the country of Wei very well, but only

Father, I have governed other countries."

He Ning nodded, "Go back to the palace."

Zhao Hongqing obeyed.

The next day.

Early morning.

Zhao Gao secretly whispered something into his ear, saying that the Sixth Emperor Zhao Changping had committed suicide.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Hongqing stood up suddenly and was shocked.

All the civil and military officials were talking about it, guessing what big event had happened.

Now that the rebellion has been put down, if anything happens, it will probably be a war outside.

Could it be that your Majesty's war is not going well? That he suffered a defeat?

Very likely!

Qin Hui came out and bowed: "Your Highness, there is a war coming from the front?"

Zhao Hongqing shook his head and said to the queen behind the curtain: "The queen mother and sixth uncle committed suicide in prison."

After hearing the sound, Murong Hening hurried to the main hall and asked urgently: "Are you sure it was suicide?"

Zhao Gao nodded and said with great conviction: "Queen, this matter is absolutely true."

They immediately announced the disbandment of the court, and then hurried to the Dongchang dungeon.

Civil and military officials all felt that the death of Prince Liu and Zhao Changping was a good thing.

When he died, everyone was happy and it was over.

If you don't die, if you stay, you will be a potential threat to the country.

After they arrived at the prison, they indeed saw the death scene of Zhao Changping biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Zhao Hongqing came to his cell and saw a few words written in blood on the wall of the cell:

"Brother, sixth brother, go ahead and wait for you to apologize to your father under the Nine Springs in the future."

The father in his mouth was Zhao Hongqing's imperial grandfather, Emperor Renzong.

After Zhao Hongqing took one look at his body, he shook his head and sighed.

He Ning said: "It would be better if you died. In this case, we would also like to thank your sixth uncle. It was him who saved your father from having to bear the life of a person of the same clan and lineage."

Zhao Hongqing said: "Should we tell my father about the news of Uncle Six's death?"

He Ning nodded and said: "Of course I have to tell you. No matter what, he is your sixth uncle."

Zhao Hongqing nodded, "What about Uncle Six's body?"

He Ning said: "Put it in the Xuanbing coffin first. After His Majesty's reply is sent, it will be properly placed. Whether it is a hasty burial or a funeral, everything will be decided by your father."

This is something that everyone didn't expect.

Zhao Changping actually chose the path of suicide in the end.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Anyway, history books record it truthfully.

Perhaps, as He Ning said, he did not want Zhao Changqing to bear the life of a brother of his own clan, and did not want people in the world to laugh at the fact that the Zhao brothers were at war with each other.
