Qiao Kun pointed at his mottled face, "I escaped from the pack of wolves. Half of these scars are left by swords, and half are left by wolves. It is said that wolves are heartless, but people are sometimes more vicious than wolves. There are too many. If I find you, I am afraid I will not live today."

Zhao Yin vaguely felt that this incident might have something to do with his uncle, General Cen.

He asked, "General Joe, what's going on?"

"Back then, General Cen gave me three thousand soldiers and sent me to fight. He said that the scouts came to report, but Beiyan had less than two thousand soldiers. I wanted to investigate again, but he ordered me to go immediately. But in fact, the other party There are soldiers and horses, well-equipped. We have been struggling for more than half a month, but we have not yet received reinforcements from General Cen."

Qiao Kun looked at Zhao Yin, whose eyes were full of shock, and sneered, "General Cen and Sun Tian then led troops to wipe out the few remnants of the Northern Yan army, and rewarded themselves and Sun Tian for their military service. It was a great achievement to impeach me, and I was ambushed when I led the army without authorization. Fortunately, they arrived in time and completely annihilated the Beiyan army."

Zhao Yin stood there in disbelief, unable to speak a word.

What he knew was exactly what Qiao Kun said later.Uncle and Sun Tian were promoted and honored because of that battle, and their glory was boundless.

But Qiao Kun died on the battlefield, but was still demolished and confiscated, the men were executed, and the women were sold by their relatives.

If my uncle knew that he was still alive, he would definitely kill the grass.It is the best way out for him to seek refuge with the prince.And the prince was also happy to seize the handle of General Cen.

Then a few days ago, my uncle was so decisive in order to execute Sun Tian, ​​it must be to take advantage of the trend to silence the insider.

After a long time, he said, "You two are two heroes in the north, uncle, why is he here!"

Qiao Kun smiled sarcastically, "It's really ridiculous for the third prince to say this. Back then, I was victorious in countless battles and had the potential to overwhelm General Cen. You, the third prince, will lose the power behind the Dingbei Army, so don’t even think about participating in the struggle for succession."

Zhao Yin sighed heavily.

Sure enough, I committed a crime unknowingly.Three thousand soldiers and horses, Qiao Kun and his family died in vain because of him.

He had never thought of contending for the heir apparent, but it didn't mean his uncle didn't want to, or his mother and concubine didn't want to.Even his subordinates and his concubines secretly hoped that he would take a step forward.

Zhao Chen looked at him and said in a low voice, "If you don't kill Boren, Boren died because of you. The crimes you committed are more than that. Do you know who bought Qiao Kun's wife and daughter?"

Zhao Yin shook his head slowly.

He could no longer imagine how many unknown secrets were waiting for him.

Zhao Chen said, "It was bought by the Marquis of Yongping for him to play with. The purpose is to force Qiao Kun to show up if he is still alive. If he hadn't acted alone, Qiao Kun might have been caught by the Marquis of Yongping."

With scarlet eyes, Qiao Kun was emotional, "My two daughters, one was fifteen years old and the other was only twelve years old! That beast in Marquis Yongping... When I tried to rescue him later, the three of them, mother and daughter, had committed suicide Died! Third prince, if you sympathize with Han Qingwan here, who will sympathize with them!"

Zhao Yin closed his eyes, his face clouded over, "Marquis Yongping...does he have a relationship with General Cen in private?"

Zhao Chen glanced at the gate of the courtyard lightly, and said, "You don't know, you have always been a candidate for Marquis Yongping, right? Otherwise, why did Han Qingwan approach you so many times? If Gu Ruo does not marry, there is still you, There will always be someone who will marry her. Whoever marries her will be the future emperor, who will come to protect the Marquis Yongping's mansion forever. Even now, if you take Han Qingwan out of the princess mansion, maybe the forces left behind by Marquis Yongping will help you Take the heirloom."

Zhao Yin originally thought that he was clear enough to stay away from Han Qingwan in time without causing trouble.But it turned out that he was still in the prince's calculations.

If one day he took Han Qingwan away from the Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid he would face a catastrophe that day.

His elder brother is not much less than Yongping Hou, he is really scheming one after another, no matter how he responds, he is trapped in a predicament and cannot escape.

"Brother Huang said so much, it is nothing more than saying that the younger brother deserves to die. But these are all your one-sided words. It is the first time that there is no basis for many years. The matter is so important that no one dares to believe it."

Zhao Chen said in a low voice, "Third Brother is scared."

Zhao Yin smiled wryly, "Ants are greedy for life, but my brother still wants to live."

"I don't know, I have been lied to so many things."

Emperor Qingming walked in from the courtyard door, dressed in ordinary clothes, his face was clouded, and he was imposing.

Zhao Yin's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down on one knee, "Father!"

Emperor Qingming looked down at his valued son. He was on all possible precautions. He never expected that the people behind Zhao Yin would become so greedy.

I'm afraid that at least half of the hidden sons buried by Marquis Yongping were set up around the third prince, right?
Maybe, General Cen is his secret son.

Emperor Qingming asked, "Are you ignorant of these things, or are you pretending not to?"

Zhao Yin cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son is obsessed with military affairs all day long and has no distracting thoughts. I don't know anything about these things!"

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "Of course you don't admit it. No one can afford thousands of lives."

Zhao Yin knelt there and suddenly realized that this was also a part of the prince's scheme.

The father had already wanted to kill him because of his concubine Sun, but he must have been unable to make a decision, otherwise he would not have summoned him into the palace until now.

Coupled with this incident, the emperor's murderous intention towards him became even more serious.

Although these are just Qiao Kun's one-sided remarks, it is extremely difficult to obtain evidence. After all, all the people who fought with him in the battlefield died.And later, General Cen actually went to the battlefield again.Otherwise, the prince wouldn't have dragged on for so many years without revealing the matter.

But now, just now that Sun Tian seized the military merits, and his father did not trust him very much, Qiao Kun's words became very credible.

Zhao Yin lowered his head dejectedly, "I can't argue with anything. Even if I don't know about it, General Cen's greed is caused by my existence. I dare not shirk responsibility."

As he said so, Emperor Qingming didn't blame him any more, but looked at Qiao Kun who was kneeling on the ground.

"General Qiao, you have been wronged."

Qiao Kun's eyes were flushed, and he cupped his hands and said, "The sinners dare not be called by the emperor. Back then, the sinners were wearing a sinful body and dared not face the saint. I beg the emperor to forgive their sins!"

Emperor Qingming said in a deep voice, "Since you have been wronged, why are you guilty? General Qiao, who made the Northern Yan army fearful, is capable of fighting an army ten times larger with three thousand soldiers and horses. From now on, you will be reinstated .I will give you justice."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Qiao Kun knelt down and kowtowed, he said, "It's just that the grassroots have been away from the battlefield for many years, and their faces are like ghosts. I'm afraid that I won't have the energy to lead the army again, and I'm afraid that I'll let down the love of the emperor. Now the grassroots just want to feel at ease. Be a bodyguard and end your life."

Emperor Qingming stroked the jade wrench finger.

Now Qiao Kun is obviously the prince's man. If he regains control of the army, General Cen... I am afraid that the Dingbei army will become the prince's power in an instant.What the prince has done recently makes people think deeply.

"Since your ambition is not on the battlefield, I will not force you anymore. I will compensate you."
