forced a smile and said nervously, "Let go of me first. We can talk it out, get to know each other slowly, and cultivate our feelings, okay"Li Chen leaned in and sniffed at Jin Xueyuan's snowy neck,...Chapter 1123: Suspicion

As soon as he heard it concerned the Liao army, the steward immediately knew this was something he couldn't ask a single word about. He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, sir."

He went to the study and saw a letter on the desk. The steward only saw the words "Personally written by Yelü Shenxuan, Prince of Liao," and his heart skipped a beat.

He held the letter in both hands, not even daring to glance at it a second time. He discreetly tucked it away close to his body and immediately went out on an errand.

He knew very well that it didn't matter if his own head fell off, but this letter had gone wrong, and he would suffer worse than death.

At this time, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi had already arrived at Zhao's mansion gate.

Two sedan chairs, one after the other, were placed at the front of Zhao's house, waiting for the two people to get on and go home.

Zhang Biwu suddenly sighed and said, "In the past, Zhao's house had its threshold replaced every two or three years because so many people came and went that it was worn down. Now, it seems that we won't need to replace it for a long time."

Fu Yuzhi said expressionlessly, "Zhang brother and my family, are not they in a similar situation"

Turning his head to glance in the direction of the East Palace, Zhang Biwu sneered: "This time, with so many officials arrested, almost 90% of the institutions and departments in the court are unable to function. The East Palace still has the audacity to talk about reforms, it's truly reckless."

"Zhang xiong, words spoken too often are bound to be flawed. There's no need to say these things." Fu Yuzhi reminded him.

Zhang Biwu turned around, leaned close to Fu Yuzhi, and said, "Fu brother, we've known each other for decades, both knowing each other well. Now I ask you a question, tell me the truth."

Fu Yuzhi was taken aback and said, "Brother Zhang, just ask directly if you have something to say. I will certainly tell you everything I know."

Zhang Biao pulled Yu Zhi aside. Even though there was no one around at the moment, he still lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Fu, did you feel that Lord Ge just now was hiding something from us"

"Fu Yuzhi nonchalantly replied, 'There's nothing strange about that. The Elder may not explain everything to us. There have been similar situations before. He naturally has his reasons.'"

"Things are different now!" Zhang Biwu said in a low voice.

"The past is the past, the present is the present. What are we like now How can we compare ourselves to before"

"Not to mention that day in the Qianyuan Palace, when the Emperor suddenly woke up. The matter itself was strange. What did Ge Lao and the Emperor discuss Why was there such a huge difference before and after He didn't tell us anything about it."

"At that time, you were at Shenwu Gate. I urged him several times to just go all out and bombard Qianyuan Palace, to end things completely, but he opposed it every time."

"If you had listened to me that day, we would now be... founding heroes!"

Hearing this, especially the last four words "national hero of founding," Fu Yuzhi's snow-white beard trembled, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Are you crazy You dare to say such things!”

"What are you afraid of We've done everything we need to do, so what's there to be worried about" Zhang Biwu said nonchalantly, even with a sense of reckless abandon.

He continued, "Let's forget about the past grievances between the Emperor and the Grand Tutor. Why doesn't he mention them But today, do you still remember what he said First, he claimed that the Donggong reform plan was meant to cut off our way forward, then he insisted he knew nothing about the details of the plan. There must be a lie hidden between these two contradictory statements."

He can hide, but he cannot conceal, nor can he deceive. Fu Xiong, do you agree with what I'm sayinged the feeling of almost forcing a coup at the Eastern Palace alongside Zhao Xuanji back then, just like Li Chen did.Even then, they only threatened and did not actually move their troops.Now, being c...
