General, please be a loyal minister!

Chapter 66 Expulsion Order

It was indeed Xu Chi who met Zhao Ji at the mansion.

Xu Chi is not Jingxiu, he has no teacher-student friendship with Zhao Ji, nor does he regard Zhao Ji as a junior like Yu Wenxun.

The two of them are just the diplomatic relationship between the prime minister of Liangzhou and the third son of Jingzhou, or the relationship between the prime minister and the general. There is not so much affection to take into account, and many things can be said straightforwardly.

The content of the conversation between Xu Chi and Zhao Ji was very simple: today is different from the past, Zhao Ji has an additional identity as the third son of Zhongshan King, and everything he does will have more meaning.For example, coming to Liangzhou this time, it can be a general returning to the court, or a son going on an envoy.If you are returning to the court, you should not bring Jingzhou's guards with you, and the first thing to do is to meet the lord; if you are an envoy, you should submit the letter of credence. trouble……

Of course, Xu Chi's wording was very euphemistic, but that's what it meant when he extracted it.

This kind of ambiguous development is not good for Zhao Ji or Liangzhou. He wants Zhao Ji to have a clear attitude on what to do.

Xu Chi is more inclined to regard Zhao Ji as the third son.Jingzhou has already spread the news, and the whole world will soon know that Zhao Ji cannot get rid of this identity.

Zhao Ji heard only three words in this sincere analysis of pros and cons: order to chase away guests.

He never thought that he would become a "guest" in Liangzhou, nor did he think that the land he fought for would not welcome him one day.

A sense of desolation suddenly rose in his heart.

Zhao Ji got angry, and he asked Xu Chi displeasedly: "I have sacrificed my life and bled for Liangzhou. What have you done for Liangzhou? Now you are talking to me like this?"

Xu Chi admitted that what Zhao Ji said was reasonable, and he was not angry because of the offensive words, and replied politely: "Everyone in Liangzhou remembers and respects what General Zhao did for Liangzhou, and Xu Chi believes that even if General Zhao stays in Liangzhou , the people of Liangzhou will respect the general as always. But, is this good for the general?"

Staying in Liangzhou Zhao Ji will not be reused, after all, there is no second Liu Xuan who will trust the son of a general of another force.

Liangzhou doesn't mind giving Zhao Ji's salary, but what about Zhao Ji?Is he willing to be idle at this age?

At present, Zhao Ji's best choice is to return to Jingzhou as soon as possible. In this way, Liu Ci can avoid Liu Ci thinking that his elbow is turned outward, and it can also eliminate the suspicion of Liangzhou courtiers about him.

The following words have already exceeded the limit of Xu Chi's identity, if someone hadn't asked him to persuade Zhao Ji like this.

Zhao Ji also knows what choice is good for him. He is an ambitious person, and he can climb the ladder, but he can't let go of Han Zhao: "I can leave Liangzhou, but Master wants to go with me."

Zhao Ji served in Liangzhou only for Liu Xuan, not loyalty, but righteousness.

Liu Xuan is gone, it doesn't make any difference to him to stay or go, all he wants now is Han Zhao, he said that in exchange for leaving for Xu Chi to persuade Han Zhao.

But he didn't expect that Xu Chi was invited by Han Zhao to persuade him.

Long before Zhao Ji arrived in Liangzhou, Han Zhao expected that Zhao Ji would come after him, so he communicated with Xu Chi in advance.

Although he didn't have a deep friendship with Xu Chi, he could only ask Xu Chi to persuade Zhao Ji to leave. Yu Wenxun couldn't do this kind of thing.

Xu Chi didn't expect Zhao Ji's stubborn insistence to be such a request. After being stunned, he sighed softly: "Third son, forgive me. Don't talk about apprentices, even a son will leave his father and go alone one day. You are not afraid of Mr. Han's troubles." ?"

——Xu Chi's address to Zhao Ji has changed several times, just like Zhao Ji's position on his own identity.

Xu Chi asked a question on the most sensitive point, leaving Zhao Ji speechless.

bothered?

Is Han Zhao troubled by him?

Obviously yes.

He never had a legitimate reason to stay by Han Zhao's side. He and Han Zhao were just mentors and apprentices, not husband and wife.

However, Zhao Ji refused to give up. He stubbornly replied, "He owes me an explanation."

What do you say?

Raise him and return him to his biological father?

From the perspective of the master-student relationship, there was nothing wrong with Han Zhao's actions, but Zhao Ji was unilaterally unwilling to accept it, so he decided that Han Zhao owed him.

This was the only reason he could grasp to stay by Han Zhao's side.

Xu Chi almost understood what kind of lawsuit this was.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, what should be said has been said, and the rest should be handled by Han Zhao and his disciples, and he will no longer keep Zhao Ji.

What makes Xu Chi feel strange is that Zhao Ji's dependence on Han Zhao is too much. This is not like the dependence of an apprentice who has not been a teacher on his master, but rather like the possessive desire of a young man who can't let go of his love for his sweetheart.

However, this idea only appeared in Xu Chi's mind for a moment and then he was laughed off. He felt that he was ridiculous enough, and it was fine as a joke, but now he was talking about other people's masters and apprentices.

……

It's not that Zhao Ji didn't listen to Xu Chi's words at all, at least he understood that he took the identity of the third son to Yu Wenxun's house to treat Yu Wenxun badly.

So after leaving the mansion, he stopped going to Yuwen Mansion and turned back to the small courtyard. To his surprise, Han Zhao also came back here and was tidying up the house.

Han Zhao stayed at Yuwen's house before because the place had not been tidied up and it was inconvenient to live in. Yu Wenxun and Wei Yao strongly invited him, so he stayed.

Now that Zhao Ji is back, it is inconvenient to stay at Yuwen's house to handle their master and apprentice's family affairs.

That afternoon, the master and the apprentice didn't say anything, one fetched water and the other wiped the ashes, and quietly finished cleaning the yard they regarded as their home, even tidying up the kitchen, which basically had no other function except boiling water.

In the evening, Han Zhao bought ingredients for Zhao Ji to light a fire, and cooked a meal himself.

It’s not that Han Zhao doesn’t know how to cook. He used to live with his sister-in-law and learned all kinds of housework. Cooking is not good, at least he can eat. He doesn’t do it because he hates doing it.

The dishes are very simple, three dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables.

Han Zhao served Zhao Ji a good meal, made another bowl of soup, and finally handed him the chopsticks.

Zhao Ji thought that all this was a sign of his reconciliation with Han Zhao, and happily picked up the bowl, but Han Zhao's next words made his hand holding the food stop.

"Eat this meal, let's go."

Zhao Ji looked at Han Zhao unexpectedly: "Master, what do you mean?"

Han Zhao said calmly, "I've asked someone to tell you everything that needs to be said. If you insist on pretending to be confused, I can't help it."

Having raised Zhao Ji to such an age, Han Zhao still doesn't feel that he fully understands Zhao Ji. He thinks that Zhao Ji should understand such a simple truth, but Zhao Ji just doesn't understand it, and he is stubborn with him.

For example, this time, Dengyun Road is already in front of him, but Zhao Ji just won't leave.

Just as Zhao Ji couldn't figure out why Han Zhao was so cruel, Han Zhao also couldn't figure out why Zhao Ji was so stubborn.

Zhao Ji belatedly realized the reason why Xu Chi said those words to him today, and he smiled bitterly and ironically: "Why are you pretending to be confused? What should you say? If you want to say it, just tell me directly, why bother?" Others?"

Zhao Ji blamed Han Zhao for refusing to face him at this moment.

Zhao Ji wants to listen to him, and Han Zhao can help him: "Listen, I'll just say it once. Go back to your father, fight for the world for him, and fight for the world for yourself. This is what I have worked so hard to pave for you. Lu, don't let your and my hard work for so many years go to waste!"

A short sentence contains a huge amount of information.

Fight for the world for yourself?Paved road?So many years of hard work?

These are all directions that Zhao Ji dared not think about. Now that Han Zhao said it in one breath, something seemed to crack in his heart.

Finally, he had to face something.

Suppressing his mixed emotions of anger and disappointment, he questioned Han Zhao, "Did you know that earlier?" He knew that he was Liu Ci's son.

Han Zhao looked silent: "Yes."

At this moment, some questions that Zhao Ji had since he was a child have also been answered.

No wonder Han Zhao never taught him "loyalty" and let his ambition grow wildly, because the king does not need to be loyal to anyone.

If the young master of Liangzhou hadn't been Liu Xuan, if Liu Xuan hadn't treated him so sincerely in exchange for his sincerity, he would have usurped power and become the master of Liangzhou long ago.

Zhao Ji asked again: "From the time you rescued me, did you expect today?"

Han Zhao replied again: "Yes."

Han Zhao didn't have a plan for saving him. Zhao Ji knew about it long ago, but he didn't expect to have such a far-reaching plan.

"You want me to do it—" Zhao Ji paused before asking the word that he had never thought about, "Emperor?"

"Yes."

Zhao Ji never knew that Han Zhao had such high expectations for him, or he never knew that Han Zhao had such great ambitions.

But at this moment, he strangely felt that this was not bad. As long as Han Zhao still had expectations of him, it would be great news for him. In this way, he would have leverage to negotiate terms with Han Zhao.

How humble...

Zhao Ji: "You follow me, and I will fight for the world."

However, Han Zhao didn't even answer whether it was good or bad for this question, and only reprimanded in a deep voice: "Zhao Ji, you are not a child anymore, don't make such childish conditions."

childish?Yes, it is childish.

Han Zhao felt that he was naive, and treated him as a junior who needed him to make decisions for him from the beginning to the end, rather than an independent man, so he never noticed his almost overflowing love.

Zhao Ji broke out in grief and anger, and he asked Han Zhao: "Then tell me how can I not be naive? Be as hard-hearted as you?"

Because of being too excited, Zhao Ji accidentally overturned the table when he got up, there was a loud noise, the bowls and chopsticks were scattered all over the floor, the candlestick also fell to the ground, and went out suddenly, and the room was plunged into darkness.

In the dark, Zhao Ji finally dared not to suppress his feelings anymore, and looked at Han Zhao with eyes full of emotion and sadness.

He hated Han Zhao, hated him as much as he loved Han Zhao, hated him for being so ruthless to him, hated him for still being indifferent to his pleas to put down his dignity.

Every time.

Would Han Zhao refuse to love him?Even just a little bit.Could it be that he couldn't warm Han Zhao's heart, which was colder than ice, in this lifetime?

Han Zhao didn't answer Zhao Ji's question, just sat there like a stone statue.

He didn't know Zhao Ji's admiration for him, so Zhao Ji's entanglement was very unreasonable in his eyes.

Of course he can pretend to love Zhao Ji - the premise is that he has no expectations and care for Zhao Ji in his heart.

From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, Han Zhao paved the way for Zhao Ji to be the best for Zhao Ji and for him. He did what he thought was right, and did not consider Zhao Ji's feelings, because he never considered own feelings.

He knew that he had a problem, and he was pushing Zhao Ji onto a road of no return for his own purpose.

He never asked Zhao Ji whether he wanted to be emperor or not. The only choice he gave Zhao Ji was to let Zhao Ji decide whether to put his hand in his palm or not in Yicheng.

While Zhao Ji owed him, he also owed Zhao Ji.

But emotional accounts have always been Han Zhao's worst thing. He can't figure out whether Zhao Ji owes him more or he owes Zhao Ji more.He could only say that if Zhao Ji still felt that Han Zhao owed him something when he took the position of Supreme Being, then feel free to ask for it!

In the silent darkness, Zhao Ji looked at Han Zhao, and Han Zhao looked at the open space left by the overturned table. Neither of the two masters and apprentices spoke. They were so close, but they didn't know how to let the other know how much they felt for him. like……
