Chapter 701 Shocking Inside Story
Li Zhong walked out alone in his armor.
Zhao He walked forward and nodded to Li Zhong: "Hello Uncle Li."
Li Zhong said indifferently: "Tonight is not good."
Zhao He remained silent. After a moment, he looked behind Li Zhong. Nearly a hundred personal soldiers in armor were crowded at the gate. Everyone was staring at Zhao He with great enthusiasm. Both sides were not far away. Once the situation changed, they would rush out immediately, capture the thief and capture the king first, and take Zhao He.
Zhao He waved his hand and signaled everyone behind him to go away. He wanted to have room to talk to Li Zhong.
"Your Highness..."
Hu Zhibing was a little worried and wanted to persuade him.
"Quit"
Hu Zhibing didn't dare to speak, so he had to retreat. Zhao Bolin and Zhao Dezhao looked at each other, shook their heads, and then retreated for more than ten meters.
Zhao He looked at Li Zhong and said in a low voice: "Uncle Li, you know that I have no intention of harming you."
Zhao He has a very deep relationship with Li Zhong, and this deep relationship even surpasses Zhao Zhi, who is a father.
Zhao He has been taciturn since childhood, and his appearance and talent are not outstanding, so he is not favored by Zhao Zhi. As Zhao Zhi's eight-year-old friend, Li Zhong watched Zhao He grow up and took great care of him. Zhao He's riding and arithmetic were taught by Li Zhong step by step. Until Zhao He was twelve years old, Zhao Zhi sat on the throne of the emperor and valued Li Zhong. Li Zhong left Fengjing and went to the north of An. The two rarely met, but they were quite frequent in letters, and Li Zhong was always very concerned about Zhao He.
This situation lasted until the eighth year of Guangyuan. Eight years after Li Zhong left home, Anbei's military stability was stable. Then he returned to Beijing to report his work. The two met soon. It was this time that Li Zhong found that Zhao He had changed, as if he had changed a person. He was no longer aware of himself. At the age of twenty, he had already had a deep cunning life. As the oldest among many princes, although Zhao He was born in a vain, he began to have great ambitions and desire for power.
After Li Zhong returned to Anbei, Zhao He sent letters many times, with his words tactful and obscure, but his meaning was obvious. He hoped that Li Zhong would fully support him. At this time, Zhao Zhi was in his prime and some things should not have appeared at this time. Moreover, Li Zhong had a very weak desire for power and did not want to participate in those complex political struggles. Therefore, Li Zhong finally chose to refuse Zhao He's win-win and request, and from then on, he began to deliberately alienate Zhao He. There was no conflict or conflict between the two, but the previous intimate relationship disappeared from then on.
"I, Li Zhong, have never seen it in person. This kind of formation is far worse than when I fought against the Hu clan."
Li Zhong looked at Zhao He and said in a deep voice: "Zhao He, even if you launch a coup successfully, it will be unpopular. People in the world will not obey you. If you get something from the wrong way, you can't hold it."
Zhao He was silent again. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Li, the armor on your body is very beautiful. If it is stained with blood, it will be a little unbeautiful."
Li Zhong said coldly: "The emperor is as kind as a mountain to me. I, Li Zhong, will never sit idly by and ignore his safety."
Zhao He said indifferently: "The general trend is that you can't change anything by yourself. You are the elder that I, Zhao He, admired the most. I don't want to hurt you."
Li Zhong looked at Zhao He's pale face and some pictures flashed through his mind. Everyone was lively and a thin child was standing in the distance. He looked at everyone, with desire in his eyes, but also deep stubbornness.
Zhao He's biological mother was humble and died of having a son. In Zhao Zhi's view, Zhao He's birth may be a misunderstanding. In a long-term indifference and cold-eyed environment, his mind and psychology are different from ordinary people. Zhao He's self-reliance faces difficulties and shows his extremely deep strength. The reason why this is this may be hidden in the depths of his personality, his deep stubbornness and obsession.
Li Zhong looked at Zhao He with a hint of softness and said softly: "He'er, it's not your own thing, let's forget it. Life may be hard, but at least you can live."
Li Zhong was warning Zhao He that it might be too late to stop now, and after the matter, he would do his best to save Zhao He's life and continue.
Zhao He looked at Li Zhong blankly. His expression and tone were childhood memories and the only beauty that he once had. After many years, he didn't expect to see him again in such an environment.
Zhao He suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, tears of laughter came out.
Li Zhong sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that nothing is useful, and Zhao He obviously can no longer look back.
Li Zhong looked at Zhao He and became cold and deep again. He had a thought. Although he had no weapons on him, with Zhao He's weak body, he might not be able to stand his own two moves. As long as he took him down, everything could be over in advance.
Perhaps feeling the murderous intent from Li Zhong, Zhao He stopped laughing and slowly retreated. Hu Zhibing and others also felt something, so they hurriedly met him, and more than a dozen people stood behind Zhao He.
Zhao He looked directly at Li Zhong with his eyes. After a long time, he said at the end: "Uncle Li, you are wrong. It was King of Hengshan who launched the coup tonight, not me. I am now going to the imperial city to quell the rebellion and protecting my father."
Hearing this, Li Zhong was slightly stunned: "Impossible, what qualifications does Hengshan King have to rebel?"
Zhao Bolin bowed and said, "Mr. Zuo Prime Minister, everything that Your Highness, the words of Your Highness, are true. The King of Hengshan, joined forces with the General Changsun Wuyang of Yulin Guard, launched a palace coup. According to the latest news, half an hour ago, King of Hengshan Zhao Ke had led 30,000 imperial guards into the imperial city and joined the Yulin Guard of Changsun Wuyang. The army exceeded 50,000. The emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince were probably already..."
Li Zhong said a little lost: "The 50,000 army rushed into the imperial city half an hour ago. After such a long time, the emperor and the prince may be in danger."
Zhao He said indifferently: "I will avenge my third brother and my father."
Li Zhong came to his senses and stared at Zhao He with his eyes tightly. After a while, he nodded with a heavy focus: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole are behind him. Zhao He, your scheming and power have surpassed your father."
Although Zhao He only spoke a few words and didn't say much, he expressed his plans for the whole coup.
What causes Changsun Wuyang, who has no political ambitions, has worked diligently, is low-key and cautious for decades, and has been sincere to Zhao Zhi all his life. What causes him to dare to put all his wealth and life on Zhao Ke and launch a coup.
What is the reason? The Central Army of the Imperial Army has a counterattack. Although this army is full of shadows of aristocratic families, even if it is successful in the rebellion and coup, the new emperor who succeeded to the throne will never have any trust in them. Instead, it is very likely that the new emperor will destroy the bridges and turn against them ruthlessly.
Li Zhong couldn't understand many things, but if something went wrong, there would be a demon, and there must be deep reasons that he didn't know.
But one thing Li Zhong has already understood that the coup of King Zhao Ke of Hengshan, regardless of success or not, can only be a wedding dress for others, and failure is the inevitable result.
