General, please be a loyal minister!

Chapter 39 The Crown Ceremony

After Zhou Yuan abdicated, the head of the Song family became the new prime minister, and members of Zhou Wang's two families were removed from important positions one by one, and replaced by a group of people from the old clan.

On Liu Xuan's side, Jing Xiu didn't receive any substantial promotion, but Yu Wenxun took charge of the main military power in Liangzhou.

In the meantime, the complex game of power distribution will not be discussed one by one.

Yu Wenxun was surprised and excited when he took over the tiger talisman. Even Jing Xiu didn't get any benefits from this change. He didn't expect Liu Xuan to win such a position for himself.

Holding the Tiger Talisman tightly in his palm, Yu Wenxun kowtowed deeply to Liu Xuan.

Because of his meritorious service in resisting Dou Xiao's army when Wang Yang was defeated, Zhao Ji got a little promotion, but it was nothing compared to other people who "ascended to the sky" in the power change. Then he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Ji.

Liu Xuan felt very guilty towards Zhao Ji and asked him to be patient.

Seeing those people relying on their surnames to be on an equal footing with the current self, Zhao Ji didn't mind, but he gave in when he heard what Liu Xuan said.

Liu Xuan treats him as a brother, and he treats Liu Xuan the same way.

He knew Liu Xuan's difficulties.

One Zhou Yuan fell, and there are dozens of "Zhou Yuan" in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is not the root of Liu Xuan, and the people here are not with him, so he has to be with Liu Xuan, and stand firmly on Liu Xuan's side at this time.

Han Zhao is still a commoner.

It's not that Liu Xuan never asked him to be an official, but Han Zhao refused.

In Han Zhao's view, Liu Xuanmou now has Jingxiu, Yu Wenxun and Zhao Ji, so there is no need for him to add icing on the cake.

He was thinking about other things.

The cause of Wang's daughter's death has never been found and the murderer can be found, but Han Zhao has never been relieved.

The clues in that murder were clear, but Han Zhao couldn't solve them.

An ominous premonition lingered in his heart, making him feel that there was a sword hanging above his head, which would fall down at any moment.

……

After autumn, outside Liangzhou city, there were few horses and chariots.

Last year's failure hurt Liangzhou's vitality. The rebel army in the south took advantage of the internal chaos in Liangzhou and seized a large area of ​​Yizhou. Fortunately, Yu Wenxun drove the enemy in time to keep part of the fertile land.

The young master Liu Xuan followed Mr. Jing's advice to retreat and recuperate. After a year, Liangzhou regained some prosperity.

The investigation before entering the city led to a queue in front of the city gate. In addition to pedestrians, cattle and horses, there was also an inconspicuous gray carriage in the queue. The driver was an ordinary middle-aged man.

While waiting, a slender and thin hand raised the gray curtain of the car, and an elegant and handsome middle-aged man came out.

He glanced around and sighed: "This Liangzhou is more stable and peaceful than when I came here two years ago, it's not like it was defeated last year at all."

The coachman smiled heartily: "This is all because of the young master's good governance."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "I heard that the young master Liu Xuan is wise and kind, and now seeing commoners say the same thing, it seems to be true."

The coachman raised his head triumphantly: "Can there be a fake? The common people have a steelyard in their hearts. We know who treats us well and who only cares about their own family."

After speaking, he was puzzled again: "But then again, no matter how good Liangzhou is, it is far from the Eastern Capital. Why did you travel so far to this remote and desolate place?"

The man explained: "It's like this, my master has a junior who won the crown this year, and I was ordered to give him a congratulatory gift."

The coachman let out an "oh" and sighed, "Your master is really caring."

The man rolled his eyes when he laughed, he was happier than hearing a compliment.He responded: "Yes, the master is always thoughtful and considerate."

……

"On the auspicious day of the Lingmoon, start to add Yuan clothes, abandon Er's young characters, and Shun Er Chengde..."

"The auspicious moon is Lingchen, Nai Shen Erfu..."

After the three pluses, Zhao Ji wore a full set of formal attire. The solemn finery overwhelmed the flirtatious frivolity of his brows and eyes, and filtered out his handsome and sharp silhouette.

Han Zhao straightened the pendant beads on Zhao Jifa's crown, and said slowly, "Since you are an adult, you should be prudent and self-reliant in your actions in the future. I give you the word 'sacrifice', and I hope you will take this as a warning in the future."

Shen Si, this is really a strange word, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with his name.

Although Zhao Ji was suspicious, the elder dared not give it. Besides, as long as it was taken by Han Zhao, he would have no objection even if he was called a "stinky boy".

"Brother Ji is missing a person who knows what's cold and what's hot now." Wei Yao, who was speaking, supported his protruding belly and smiled brightly.When she was a young girl, she was able and smart, but now she is married and a woman, but she doesn't lose her momentum, on the contrary, she looks more dignified and radiant.

Because of her pregnancy, she stayed in Liangzhou instead of following Yu Wenxun in the South and North Wars.

Hearing this, Zhao Ji glanced at Han Zhao's reaction unobservably.

Seeing that Han Zhao said nothing, he settled down.

The next step was to deal with the continuous stream of guests. Han Zhao took Zhao Ji as an adult and should practice hard as an excuse, so he acted as a hands-off shopkeeper very unkindly. While drinking tea, he saw that Zhao Ji was so busy that he kept his feet on the ground.

Liu Xuan had a lot of work to do and was about to drive back to his residence after staying for a while, Zhao Ji saw the opportunity and hurriedly said: "I will see the young master off!"

How could Liu Xuan not know what Zhao Ji was up to, so he looked at him helplessly, and let him go with him.

Sure enough, after going out, Zhao Ji was still stuck behind Liu Xuan, and had no intention of turning back at all.

Liu Xuan also asked the guards to pull the horse away, and walked a little longer with Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji copied both hands, with a leisurely look: "Sister-in-law is about to give birth."

The sister-in-law he was talking about was naturally Zhou Wan.

Liu Xuan replied: "It's almost there, so I didn't come to your crown ceremony."

After speaking, Liu Xuan brought the topic to Zhao Ji: "Speaking of which, when will you marry a wife?"

Zhao Ji has been listening to these words for two years, but as long as Han Zhao doesn't urge him, he doesn't panic at all. Even when faced with the young master's question, he just waved his hand and said, "No rush."

Liu Xuan knew it was useless to persuade Zhao Ji's temper, so he just sighed: "When I was your age, Hui'er could already walk."

He was talking about Gong Zihui, the son of him and the daughter of the Song family.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously: "I don't like children. Besides, is Master still single?"

Liu Xuan felt that Zhao Ji's words were really childish, so he asked, "Could it be that Mr. Han has never married, and you will stay with him for the rest of his life?"

Zhao Ji blurted out: "I can't wait!"

The decisive and straightforward answer made Liu Xuan feel a strange feeling in his heart. For a moment, he felt that Zhao Ji's words did not come from a childish rejection of marriage, but that he really thought so...

Zhao Ji wants to be with Mr. Han forever!

This thought was too terrifying, but luckily Liu Xuan was interrupted before he could think it through.

It was Zhao Ji who bumped into him.

Zhao Ji didn't notice Liu Xuan's brief trance, and stretched out his hand to him: "Lend me the token."

Liu Xuan asked, "What do you want to do?"

Based on Zhao Ji's experience of often doing ridiculous things, Liu Xuan would ask him for reasons repeatedly for all his requests.

Zhao Ji felt very wronged: "Brother, who else can I cheat on you?"

As he spoke, he raised three fingers: "Swear not to do bad things."

Seeing that Zhao Ji said that Liu Xuan didn't want to get to the bottom of it anymore, he took out a sign from his arms and threw it into Zhao Ji's arms: "Return it to me tomorrow morning."

Zhao Ji held the sign and grinned: "Okay!"

When Zhao Ji returned to the mansion, the guests had all dispersed, leaving only the leftovers.

Han Zhao sat alone in the main room, with his head slightly lowered, unable to see his expression clearly.

Zhao Ji was a little guilty after sending someone off to the main room. He cautiously walked into the main room and found that Han Zhao didn't seem to notice him.

Han Zhao is looking at the system panel that 1.0 called up for him. All the daily and side tasks on it have disappeared, leaving only the last one: let Zhao Ji recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

It's finally here...

These two years have been two years of great changes in the world.

While Liangzhou is changing, other places are not peaceful either.

Yi Wang Liu E, the leader of the most powerful Red Scarf Army among the rebel forces in various places, died of a sudden illness last year. Liu E has no children, except for a half-brother, Liu Fei.

Some people in the Red Turban Army believed that Liu Fei should be allowed to succeed on the basis of blood relationship;

The struggle for power continued into this year, ending with the split of the Red Turban Army into two groups.

Among them, Liu Ci led the [-]-year-old horse to set up a new mountain.

The puppet dynasty, which had been forced into a precarious state by the successive attacks of the Liangzhou Army and the Red Scarf Army, was also able to breathe and recover during this period.

The overall situation of the world today is basically the same as the later period of this troubled time recorded in the data, that is to say, this troubled world is about to come to an end.

So the system began to ask him to send Zhao Ji, the future "Master of ZTE", back to his father.

Han Zhao waited for this day for the past eight years, but he found that he didn't seem as excited as he thought.

The battlefield and court seem to have happened a long time ago.

The clearest thing in his mind now is actually the details of the eight years in the northwest with Zhao Ji, the green plum blossoms in their yard blooming and falling every year, and the fact that Zhao Ji always cheated when he couldn’t wait for the green plums to mature. Sour brows...

Before he knew it, he seemed to have corroded the blade.

When he was alone in Yumen Pass, he could endure the desolate frontier every day to sharpen his edge; now he is with a brat, but he only remembers trivial things, what is the difference?

Han Zhao didn't understand, he frowned in distress.

Zhao Ji didn't like to see Han Zhao frown. He didn't like any loneliness and loneliness in Han Zhao's eyes. There were many stories hidden in it, but he didn't know, and Han Zhao didn't want to tell his stories.

Zhao Ji wanted to warm up his fingertips and wipe away the furrows on Han Zhao's frown one by one, but this was too ambiguous and too transcendent... there was a distance between them that he couldn't cross now.

So he just sat down opposite Han Zhao, poured a cup of tea and drank it up, then put the cup away.

Zhao Ji's actions successfully brought Han Zhao back to his senses, and he looked at this brat who "knows how to pick the best time" to come back.

Zhao Ji propped his head and said to Han Zhao with a smile, "Master, I've thought about the gift I want."

Han Zhao asked leisurely, "What do you want?"

Zhao Ji stretched out a finger: "I want one wish to become three wishes!" Then he changed to three fingers.

Han Zhao looked at Zhao Ji with the eyes of "you're thinking about shit" and said, "Impossible."

Zhao Ji refused to accept it, and retorted: "Why is this not considered a wish?"

Han Zhao gave him a warning look, Zhao Ji didn't dare to be shy again, and said, "Okay, okay. I promise one seriously."

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then rolled his eyes and said: "When I was young, Master always supervised my drinking, so I want Master to accompany me to drink till I get drunk tonight."

Such an inappropriate request?But thinking about it, it does resemble Zhao Ji's temper.

Since I agreed to Zhao Ji's request, if I don't break the bottom line, why not follow Zhao Ji's wishes.

So he stretched his brows: "Yes."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji hadn't finished yet, so he said, "I'll decide the location."

What's up with this kid?Han Zhao glanced at Zhao Ji with a half-smile, and agreed, "No problem."

Zhao Ji took out the token Liu Xuan gave him and threw it to catch it, grinning and said: "Then let's set off, there is still a long way to go to Beiwang Mountain."
