Chapter 526
Zhao Yu closed his eyes, the right and wrong of these years appeared in front of his eyes, he sent Xu Xiaozu's son away, but he had no intention of doing it.

He allowed Zhao Yuanshen to have the status of his son, but he ignored this precocious child, who actually realized the truth early on. Even though it was only part of it, it was already quite important.

He sent Xu Jiatong and Xu Xiaozu as his daughter. After 16 years of hard work, the secret person updated her every month. He watched her from afar, waiting for her to grow up day by day, until she had the ability to live in the palace. The ability to gain a foothold is enough to become the empress of Datong.

He once regretted such an arrangement, and he also regretted it. He wanted Zhao Yuanshen to marry the daughter of a general like the princes of all dynasties, so as to get help in military strength, but Zhao Yuanshen refused.He wanted to find a wealthy but stable marriage for Xu Jiatong, but Xu Jiatong and Zhao Yuanshen got closer and closer.He hoped that Xu Xiaozu's son would never come back, but he became the hostage of the Khitan, first went to the Central Plains Dynasty, and then came to Datong.

Everything was counterproductive, or in other words, everything was proceeding according to the direction he had planned earlier... No matter, no matter, maybe everything is fate.

"Since you came to ask me, you already know something, what do you think about the matter?" Zhao Yu smiled wryly.

Zhao Yuanshen said: "It doesn't matter who I am, the key is who you want me to be, or who you think I am."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded, he was worthy of being the heir to the throne he was cultivating with all his heart, but it was very difficult for him to tell the truth, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Okay, it's frank enough, but you are not afraid... I said you are not Concubine Chen's son, and lose everything?"

"Rather than live in fear for the rest of my life, I would rather know. I have only recently realized this truth. Rather than everyone living an unsafe life, it is better for me to bear all the consequences. Although I was still young when I became Zhao Yuanshen, I had no control over it. But after all, I have also enjoyed the honor of His Royal Highness Sheng Wang. This is 17 years, or 21 years. Now that I am honest, I will not hide it from the king. As early as ten years ago, I was doubting myself It’s my life experience.” Zhao Yuanshen said frankly, since he decided to spread the matter out, there is no difference between saying one sentence and ten sentences.

And in the past ten years, Zhao Yu has been comparable to him, let alone the father and son of the Tian family, even the closest father and son of ordinary families.If he is not honest, he still has to hide it at this time, he is not even worthy of being a human being.

If it is false, it cannot be true, if it is true, it cannot be false. If he cherishes this father-son relationship, he should not occupy the country that Zhao Yu and the Zhao family have risked their lives to lay down.If Zhao Yu is assured of him, knowing that everything will be handed over to him, he will definitely use everything he has to protect the safety of Datong.

"Okay, I became suspicious at that time. Have you ever thought that if you are not my son, you are plotting against my country, plotting something that should not belong to you." Zhao Yu laughed.

Zhao Yuanshen said: "Whether it counts as a conspiracy or not depends on whether you will give it or not. I haven't thought about this issue, but...if among the princes, there is a candidate who is more suitable for the unification, I will naturally not fight. But I can't watch Datong Jiangshan fall into King Xiang's hands, please understand my intentions. But now, as long as you say I am not, I will definitely hand over King Sheng's army, I just ask you to see that they are good at fighting For the sake of it, don’t worry about the fact that they once had an old master like me.”

Zhao Yu looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly laughed loudly: "Frank and ambitious, what is rare is that he is responsible, willing to let go, good, good, I have lived up to my painstaking efforts over the years." He paused and laughed Said, "In your heart, do you believe that you are the son of Concubine Chen? Tell me, why?"

Zhao Yuanshen glanced at him and lowered his head. He felt a little embarrassed when he said these words: "You have raised me for many years, and I know very well...you have a heart that does not flow to outsiders. You take care of the old ones, and you spend money and effort to raise their children. , You have always favored relatives related to the royal family, marrying your daughters and sisters to them and their nephews. But when it's your turn to establish an heir and inherit this dynasty, you will not choose an outsider who has no blood relationship with you. "

Well, sure enough, knowing his thoughts, Zhao Yu laughed again, walked up to him, and helped him up personally: "Don't think too much, you are indeed the son of Zhen and Concubine Chen, you were born as early as the Queen's daughter Three years and nine months before the birth. When the child was more than two years old, I sent him away and brought you in the abandoned palace under the tent. This arrangement was made as early as when you were born Because of this, the people who served you regarded you as 'Zhao Yuanshen' from the very beginning. It is normal that you do not have the memory of being the son of Concubine Chen, because when you came into this world, you almost never came to this world as the son of Concubine Chen. existed."

Less than three days after Concubine Chen gave birth, she was hanged by Queen Wu with white silk, and Concubine Chen's son was taken outside the palace by the palace people to be drowned.It's just that Queen Wu didn't expect that the palace man responsible for drowning Concubine Chen's son was actually Zhao Yu's man, and he brought Zhao Yu back to the abandoned palace to raise him.The most dangerous place is the safest place. It took more than a year to hide it like that. After that, he was transferred to a secret house outside the palace to be raised... In other words, the so-called son of Concubine Chen only survived for three days. It was the reborn Zhao Yuanshen who had no memory of what happened when he was the son of Concubine Chen.

Zhao Yuanshen was still in shock, Zhao Yu was more thoughtful than he imagined, everything was in his arrangement, but even so, he couldn't save Concubine Chen.

Zhao Yu said: "You can still call me King Father, you are the son of Zhen and Concubine Chen, it's true." He looked at Zhao Yuanshen expectantly, waiting for him to call him King Father again.

The corners of Zhao Yuanshen's eyes were itchy, Zhao Yu's love for him probably started before he was born, otherwise why would he have planned so much for him.

"Father." Zhao Yuanshen saluted respectfully.

Zhao Yu helped him up, and patted him on the shoulder a few times: "Remember, the military power cannot be handed over casually. You are my son, how can you hand over the military power to others? If you hand it over to me, it is yours." In the future, how many generals among them will be able to die well for the new kings in the future? Over the years, I have been thinking about it. Only when I entrust my country to you can I rest assured. King Sheng will be the real king of Datong. Hold it firmly in your hand, let go? Not even for a moment."

"Father...you..." Zhao Yuanshen already knew that he was the closest to the son, or even the king of Datong, but when he heard this answer with his own ears, he couldn't help but sigh, "My son respectfully obeys the father's order. It's just my father..."

Zhao Yuanshen's voice was a little choked up, he looked at the old Zhao Yu, with withered fingers, old face, and gray hair, he faintly had a bad premonition.
