Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zou Tai had never seen Zhao Liangchen in such pain. He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said, "Liangchen, don't worry. We were together when we left the city. I know that Zhao Kuo and the others were replaced and it had nothing to do with you. I will go and testify for you tomorrow. You will be fine soon."

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "It's not this."

Zou Tai was puzzled: "If it's not this? Then what is it?"

Zhao Liangchen said with a sad expression: "Zou Tai, I may have done something very wrong. I have hurt a lot of people."

Zou Tai asked in surprise, "Could it be that the replacement of Zhao Kuo and the others really has something to do with you?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know if it has anything to do with my father, but it definitely has nothing to do with me."

Zou Tai let out a long sigh and slapped him: "You scared me to death. I'm glad it has nothing to do with you. As for your father, he holds a high position and is responsible for the lives of the entire clan. He would not do such a stupid thing for a clan member."

Zhao Liangchen sneered in his heart. He was indeed the one who did this stupid thing. He didn't know how his father had gotten away with it in front of Tong Zhongqian in his previous life, but nothing happened in his previous life, so he had been kept in the dark.

Zou Tai asked again with concern: "If it's not this matter, why are you still worried? You are so kind-hearted, who can you hurt?"

Zhao Liangchen said with a painful expression: "Wu Bin and the other Imperial Guard brothers and Lord Su's family."

Zou Tai was puzzled. "How could you have harmed them? It was clearly their own fault for embezzling disaster relief funds. Even though it was you who found out about Zhao Kuo, it was their own fault. Don't take it all on yourself."

As both were imperial guards, Zou Tai's father and elder brother were generals guarding the border. Zou Tai was naturally the target of the emperor's wooing, so privately he and Zhao Liangchen were both on the emperor's side.

He knew that Zhao Liangchen was sent to investigate the case of disaster relief funds and had assisted in it.

Like Zhao Liangchen in his previous life, he firmly believed that Su Jijing had embezzled disaster relief funds. Even though he found out today that Zhao Kuo had been replaced, he still thought that Zhao Kuo and others had used their connections to escape from the crime, and never thought that Su Jijing and others were being wronged.

Zhao Liangchen held his head in pain. "They might have been wrongly accused. Someone had me arrested because they wanted Zhao Kuo to frame Su Jijing and remove him from his position as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Then they could place their own people in control of the Ministry of Revenue."

Zou Tai: "How is this possible? Who would use you to frame Lord Su? How can others know that you can do it and that the emperor will believe you?"

They are all imperial guards and often go to the palace to be on duty. It is normal for them to have a good relationship with the emperor, but knowing that they are secretly on the emperor's side, few of them will do things for the emperor. The emperor cannot develop his own power and let the whole world know about it.

Zhao Liangchen: "Others don't know, but my father does."

Zou Tai was horrified. "Are you saying your father used you to frame Lord Su? How is that possible?"

Zhao Liangchen smiled bitterly: "How is this impossible? You know what my situation is at home. I would only believe it if my father was using me."

Almost everyone in the capital knew that Zhao Jian didn't like Zhao Liangchen. However, in recent years, because Zhao Liangchen had made a name for himself and gradually became famous, Zhao Jian's attitude towards him became much better, and everyone gradually forgot about it.

Zou Tai was stunned and murmured, "How is this possible? You are his son. Even if he dislikes you, he can't push you to die. Didn't you say that he supported you when you worked for the emperor?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes, he supported me to go, but now I think about it, he had the intention of using me at that time, to place his son next to the emperor. The emperor trusted me, how could he have thought that my father had two hearts for him? This way, he could know everything about the emperor at all times and use me to influence the emperor's judgment, just like this time in the case of Lord Su."

Zou Tai felt a chill run down his spine as he shuddered, unable to contain his disbelief. "How could someone be so cruel to their own son? He knows that by doing this, he's putting you on the opposite side of his own. No matter who's behind this, you'll be dead when he makes his move against the Emperor."

Zhao Liangchen's eyes were filled with hatred and coldness. "He never considered me his son. My existence is a disgrace to him. He's eager to get rid of this disgrace of mine. But before he does, he has to do something for me and squeeze out all my value, so that he won't give birth to me in vain."

Zou Tai's family was very harmonious. Although his father and elder brother were stationed at the frontier and seldom came back, their love and care for him never diminished. They were afraid that he would die on the battlefield, so they used their connections to send him to the imperial guards. His grandmother, mother, and sisters at home all doted on him, so he really couldn't understand Zhao Jian's behavior of betraying his own son.

He had the obvious thinking of a military commander and simple ideas, so Zhao Liangchen explained it more clearly, fearing that he would be used by others.

In the previous life, the first thing those people who rebelled did was to eliminate the military generals who were loyal to the emperor. The Zou family was the first to be hit. The Zou family was falsely accused of treason and the entire Zou family was killed. Although the emperor tried his best to save them, he had no say at that time. Most people in the court believed that the Zou family had colluded with the enemy. Zou Tai was also implicated and executed, and died before Zhao Liangchen.

Although Zhao Liangchen did not believe that the Zou family was collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country at that time, he was as powerless as the emperor and could only watch his brother being executed.

In this life, he not only wants to change his own destiny, but also the destiny of those around him.

However, the incident with the Zou family will happen in a few years, so it is not a top priority. It is enough to just remind them to pay attention. The most important thing now is to save the Su family.

He looked at Zou Tai and said solemnly, "Zou Tai, the people behind my father have great ambitions. My father can even use me. You and your father are both loyal to the emperor. When they control the court, generals like your father will be the first to be eliminated. So you must be careful not to be used by others. You must also write a letter to remind your father to pay attention to whether there are spies in the army.

I believe that if they want to get rid of your father, they will definitely find a way to plant their people in the army."

Zou Tai's expression also became serious, and he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will write to my father later and ask them to conduct a thorough investigation in the army."

Then he remembered something and asked, "But do you know who is behind your father?"

Zhao Liangchen sneered: "Aren't there only a few people who are qualified to ascend the throne? If something happens to the emperor, whoever is qualified to ascend the throne first is the one behind my father."

Zou Tai lowered his head and thought for a while, then counted the names of the royal family members on his fingers.

After much calculation, one person was the most likely, yet also the most unlikely. He muttered, "This is impossible. He is the one who supports the emperor the most. He is the main reason why the emperor can sit on the throne. If he wanted the throne, he would have ascended the throne five years ago."

Zhao Liangchen let out a mocking smile: "Yes, who would have thought that the person who helped the emperor to sit on the throne against all odds would be the one who wanted to replace the emperor the most."

Zou Tai's eyes widened. "It really is him! How is this possible? Who would believe it if I told anyone else?"

Zhao Liangchen: "What's impossible? It's because no one believes it that it's convenient for him to operate behind the scenes. Who would be wary of someone who is dedicated to assisting the emperor?

If I were to go out and say that my father was benefiting me and pushing me to death, no one would believe me. Isn't that the truth?"

Zou Tai fell silent. The human heart was unpredictable. Who could tell who was behind a kind person? After a long while, he accepted the fact and calmed down before asking, "So what are you going to do now?"
