Chapter 1189 Knowing But Can't Say
"Is Zhao Kuangyi engaged? With whom?" Fan Zhi frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this matter. An in-law who attracted Zhao Kuangyin's heart must not be an ordinary person.Besides, Zhao Kuangyi didn't leave the barracks recently, how could there be a woman?Unless this person is in Cangzhou.

The person in Cangzhou who can make Zhao Kuangyin fall in love with him...is none other than Fu Yanqing.Moreover, Zhao Kuangyi and Fu Xuande are of the same age. Now Zhao Kuangyi is 18 years old, and Fu Xuande should be 11 or 12 years old. I will marry her in two or three years. The age is just right.

If Fu Xuande was really the case, Fan Zhi would have to pay more attention.If Zhao Kuangyin and Fu Yanqing became a family, then he would have the courage to usurp the throne.

Fan Zhi knew very well that there were not many people who could restrain Zhao Kuangyin. The reason why Chai Rong could rest easy and hand over a lot of power to Zhao Kuangyin was not because Chai Rong didn't know Zhao Kuangyin's ambition and strength.It is because there are two restrictions to ensure that Zhao Kuangyin cannot usurp the throne and can only work for Da Zhou.

The first restriction is Fu Yanqing's Cangzhou. As long as Fu Yanqing does not want this person to be the emperor, this person is absolutely not qualified.The second restriction is Tianya who has been hiding in the dark. As long as Tianya is still alive, Zhao Kuangyin will never dare to act against his family.

Tianya is someone who absolutely doesn't mind who is the emperor, but Tianya will mind who hurts his family.So Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to attack Chai Rong, and Chai Rong could also hand over power to him.

But...if Zhao Kuangyin and Fu Yanqing become in-laws, then the first restriction will be gone.As for the second limitation.There are good and bad things about Tianya hiding in the dark. No one knows what is going on with him, and neither does Zhao Kuangyin. If Zhao Kuangyin had a fluke mentality, he might not dare to act.

Now that Zhao Kuangyin has made great achievements, the incidents of Western Shu and Southern Tang have given him a very high reputation in the army. He can almost be said to be the number one general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the soldiers hear Zhao Kuangyin's name, they will be in awe.Now that Khitan was defeated and Yeluzhen was singled out, it was all his good deeds. The soldiers almost regarded him as a god of war. Zhao Kuangyin said that they would dare to do anything they asked the soldiers to do.

This is not a good thing, Zhao Kuangyin's achievements are already too high, if he really has the intention of treason, no one can stop him.

The attack on Youzhou is also very important this time. As long as Youzhou is captured and His Majesty sends another confidant to garrison, then Fu Yanqing's right to speak will not be that important.Who is the best to send to guard?Of course it was someone like Zhang Yongde, because Zhang Yongde would never help outsiders deal with his family.

Everyone looked at Zhao Kuangyin, wondering which family Zhao Kuangyi was engaged to.Those who understand are worried or even afraid, while those who don't understand, such as Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, are purely out of curiosity.

"Who else could it be? Of course it is Fu Xuande, the third daughter of Wei Wang Fu Yanqing's family."

When Zhao Kuangyin said this, the faces of several people on the spot changed instantly.Fan Zhi, Wang Bo, and Wei Renpu looked very ugly, but the others looked very happy.

"Okay~ No wonder she is so sensible, she is the daughter of Wei Wang Fu Yanqing's family. It's no wonder, he already has a queen in his family, so the girl is so sensible." Zhang Yongde didn't take this matter to heart at all, with a look on his face happy.

Li Chongjin said: "You must invite us to celebrate when the time comes, and I will prepare a generous gift for you."

"sure."

Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin regarded him as brothers. Of course, this is also Zhao Kuangyin's deliberate closeness, because he must get the support of these two if he wants to rebel.They don't need to directly support them, because these two people will definitely not be there when the rebellion happened. They just need to prepare themselves in advance.When all the dust settles, they will only be forced to support.

"Zhao Kuangyin, it's not good for you to do this."

"What's so good about being engaged to my younger brother? This younger brother and sister are quite sensible, and they are not too old to understand the general situation, so I agree. What's more, the engagement tokens have been exchanged with each other. Do you want my brother to ruin the marriage?" ?" Zhao Kuangyin knew that Fan Zhi was smart, but he couldn't do anything about this kind of thing.

Not only Fan Zhi, but Zhao Kuangyin also saw that Wang Bo and Wei Renpu saw his ambition.But these two people were just a little depressed, not as angry as Fan Zhi.

In Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, Fan Zhi is really a grandson. Didn't Chai Rong just find him a concubine?He is now [-]% loyal to Chai Rong, and he has already noticed his ambition, but he can't tell anyone about this kind of thing, and there is nothing he can do, so don't worry about it.

"Okay, okay, Fan Xiang should have finished what he said. My health is still not good, so I will go back to the camp to rest."

Zhao Kuangyin turned around and left, and he didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Fan Zhi.The rest of the people also left one after another, except for Fan Zhi who was worried about Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion.But the three of them didn't speak, because some things were understood or even affirmed in their hearts, but the meaning was completely different when they said it out of their mouths.

No one wants to speak first, because speaking is a capital offense, as long as they speak, they and Zhao Kuangyin must die, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

"I plan to resign." Wang Bo said: "After I return to Bianliang, I will ask His Majesty to resign. Anyway, I am the prime minister given by Master Zongxin. Now that Master Zongxin is dead, Your Majesty is only in the way of the late emperor. The last words did not remove me from my position, but in fact I am useless in the court, it is time to retire and return to my hometown. I have also made a lot of money over the years. After returning to my hometown, I bought a house and land, drank some wine every day, listen to That will be the case for the rest of my life."

"That's not bad...I'm so envious of you." Fan Zhi said, "Actually, I don't want to do it anymore, but I can't help it~ Eat the King's Lu to take care of the King's worries, I'd better handle some things myself. Master Wei, what do you think?"

"I don't express my opinion, just take one step at a time, the one who laughs the last is the one who laughs the sweetest." Wei Renpu said: "There are some things we can't do anything about, as long as we do our own things well. The most important thing now is to attack Youzhou, as long as Youzhou City is broken, the world will be peaceful, if Youzhou is not broken... then it is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it."

Although Wei Renpu's words are a bit harsh, they are true.All three people have different choices, which is also human nature.

Wang Bo was originally born as a farmer. He didn't like such open and secret struggles, so he chose to resign and go into seclusion.Fan Zhi still cared about the world and didn't want Zhao Kuangyin to do anything wrong, so he chose to continue fighting.Wei Renpu is a fool on the wall, ready to see the situation before making a decision.

"Forget it, people have their own aspirations and can't be forced, keep drinking."

"Please~!"

The three of them continued to drink in the camp. Although there were many things to worry about, they were still drunk because of the wine.

…………

"Your Majesty, there are some things I want to say, but I don't dare to say them." Zhao Kuangyi said: "Actually, it doesn't make much sense to say them, I just want to ask for His Majesty's opinion."

"You don't mean to say that Zong Xin is not dead yet?"

"Your Majesty... how would you know?"

"How could Zhao Kuangyin beat Yeluzhen? Unless someone helps Yeluzhen, who can make Yeluzhen seriously injured but not die, it is hard for me to think of the second one except Zong Xin." There is no evidence, and it is really meaningless to say it. You came to me today for this matter, right? "

"It's okay anyway, let's chat with His Majesty. I know that Fan Xiang invites the second elder brother and the others to drink. I'm too low-ranked to drink Fan Xiang's wine, so... come to chat with Your Majesty, and take a look at His Majesty's physical condition." How about it. I am also a martial arts practitioner, if your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, I can give you some true energy and internal strength."

Chai Rong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, just take a walk with the widow, it will be much better if you can breathe fresh. In fact, Fan Xiang also mentioned this matter to the widow, and most of the army thought that the Northern Expedition was too smooth, smooth It looks like a trap deliberately set by Yeluzhen. But in fact, Yeluzhen is just a helpless move, and Fan Xiang just invites them to drink to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Oh~ So that's what happened. Prime Minister Fan is indeed the pillar of the country. He always thinks of His Majesty."

"It's okay. If I hadn't helped him find a concubine, how could Fan Zhi be so loyal? I have to thank your second brother for this matter. That kid Zhao Kuangyin really has a lot of ideas, and he can think of this way in exchange for Fan Zhi's loyalty." .” Chai Rong chuckled lightly and said, “Hey~ Is that person in front Zhang Yongde?”

"Seems to be."

Zhao Kuangyi supported Chai Rong for a walk in the barracks. Chai Rong's health was indeed getting worse day by day. Although Chai Rong often said that it would be good to take a rest, he knew in his heart that he didn't have much time and maybe he would never get better again.But as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at least on the surface, no one can see that he is dying, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos.

The two of them walked slowly, and there were tents in the army blocking them, so they saw Zhang Yongde, but Zhang Yongde did not see them.

Is this a coincidence?Of course not, Zhao Kuangyi had already calculated the route and deliberately led Chai Rong in this direction.Deliberately reclusive to avoid being discovered by anyone, just to meet Zhang Yongde here by chance.

Zhao Kuangyi suddenly raised his head and looked up. Chai Rong saw Zhao Kuangyi looking up and subconsciously looked up himself, but there was nothing on it...

"It's still early, Your Majesty, let's go find Zhang Yongde for a drink."

"Also~"

Zhao Kuangyi had already prepared a copper coin in his hand, and struck directly at Zhang Yongde's waist.Chai Rong just lowered his head, he didn't see any copper coins at all, but he saw a kit dropped from Zhang Yongde's waist.The kit was cut directly, and a paper contract fell into a bamboo basket next to it.

"Zhang Yongde dropped something..." Although Chai Rong wanted to stop Zhang Yongde, he suddenly realized, isn't this the tip Zong Xin gave him?Zhang Yongde has been carrying it with him for fear of losing it, and he has never opened the remaining two kits to the outside world.
