The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1114

[Chapter 1114: Prime Minister Zhao’s Past]

Huang Feng looked at Lin Tian seriously, and then asked Lin Tian.

Lin Tian did not expect Huang Feng to ask him directly. He originally thought that he would not ask him in a roundabout way, but he did not expect that he would go straight to the point.

“Yes, you guessed right. Prime Minister Zhao did not retire, but was assassinated. Now he has…”

Lin Tian said, his face showed a look of grief and anger.

“This…”

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Huang Feng was also stunned, and then tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

“In the final analysis, this matter is still my fault. I blame myself for not thinking so carefully. I thought that the target of the assassins of Qi State was His Majesty, so I only arranged people to protect His Majesty. I did not expect that their target was also the ministers in the court of Yan State.

It was my negligence that caused Prime Minister Zhao and several other ministers in the court to be assassinated. This is my responsibility.”

Lin Tian spoke again, and said to Huang Feng in grief and anger.

Huang Feng originally heard Lin Tian’s words and thought that it was Lin Tian who caused the death of Prime Minister Zhao, so he looked at Lin Tian with red eyes. After hearing Lin Tian’s explanation, he turned his eyes away.

However, what surprised Huang Feng was that he really didn’t expect that Lin Tian actually had such power in the court, since he could mobilize people to protect the emperor.

And his unpredictable mind could actually guess that Qi would send people to assassinate the emperor and the ministers in the Yan court.

“No, this matter is not your fault. If it were someone else, I’m afraid they would not have thought that Qi would send people to assassinate the emperor and the ministers in the Yan court. Even Prime Minister Zhao, who was the prime minister of Yan at the time, probably didn’t expect that Qi would send people to assassinate the emperor and the ministers in the Yan court.

But now, although Prime Minister Zhao and some other ministers in the court have been assassinated, fortunately the emperor is fine. If the emperor was in danger, I’m afraid that even if Prime Minister Zhao and others were not hurt, there would definitely be civil unrest in Yan.

The current situation is already the best situation for Yan and its people. You don’t have to feel guilty.”

Huang Feng Lin Tian heard the reason why Lin Tian was sad from Lin Tian’s words, so he opened his mouth to comfort Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was very clear in his heart. He knew that what Huang Feng said was true, but he still couldn’t help but feel sad for Prime Minister Zhao and the Yan court officials who were assassinated by the assassins of Qi.

“I have something to ask the general, but I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

Although Lin Tian was sad, he was very clear in his heart. He found something suspicious about Huang Feng. Since he knew that Huang Feng was a straightforward person, he didn’t hesitate and asked Huang Feng directly.

Huang Feng didn’t say anything when he heard what Lin Tian said, but just nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to let Lin Tian ask.

“I’m very curious. When I said that Prime Minister Zhao retired and returned home, the general obviously showed a look of disbelief, and just now the general asked me directly.

So, I want to know how the general knew that Prime Minister Zhao didn’t retire and return home.”

After seeing Huang Feng’s actions, Lin Tian told Huang Feng his doubts.

“I’m afraid you don’t know yet, but Prime Minister Zhao and I have known each other for many years. At that time, we were not officials yet, and we were still young men in the countryside who had accomplished nothing. However, Prime Minister Zhao had great ambitions at that time and wanted to pass the imperial examinations.

I don’t have the same eagerness for learning as Prime Minister Zhao. I’m just interested in some sword techniques. So at that time, the two of us made up our minds together to make a name for ourselves in the State of Yan.

So, the two of us said goodbye to our hometown and came to Jizhou, the capital of the State of Yan. Prime Minister Zhao was honored to be noticed by a private school teacher and was introduced to study in the school. I was not interested in these, so I chose to leave.

When I left the city gate and wanted to go to other places, I encountered danger in a deep mountain outside the city. Fortunately, I was rescued by an old man passing by. I So she recognized him as her master and learned some skills of wielding spears and sticks from her.

When I met Prime Minister Zhao again, he had become a minister in the court of Yan State, but he did not become the prime minister at that time. He recommended me to a training ground in Yan State to train the army. At that time, I was officially a soldier.

Then we both made a great reputation in our own understandings. He became the prime minister of Yan State, and I became a general of Yan State. On weekdays, we can also attend court together and have a good chat when we have nothing to do.

Later, I became a general and was sent to the border by the former emperor, taking on the heavy responsibility of guarding the border with my husband and wife. The two of us had to separate again.

At that time, I didn’t know that the separation would become the day when we would never see each other again. “

Huang Feng said to Lin Tian.

When saying these words, Huang Feng was obviously in a state of recollection, with tears on his face from the initial nostalgia, joy to the end, grief and indignation.

After hearing what Huang Feng said, Lin Tian finally understood that Huang Feng and Prime Minister Zhao were close friends before, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were brothers. The emotions of Lin Tian and Chen Huifang were also aroused by Huang Feng, and Chen Huifang also shed tears of emotion.

After hearing the story of Huang Feng and Prime Minister Zhao, although Lin Tian wanted to say something, he couldn’t say it and could only remain silent.

“We had an agreement before that since we have come to Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, together, we will return to our hometown together. So when you told me that Prime Minister Zhao had resigned and returned home, I already had a guess in my heart, but I was not sure, and I didn’t want to believe the truth of this matter from the bottom of my heart, so I asked you with a glimmer of fantasy.”

Huang Feng spoke to Lin Tian again.

When Lin Tian heard this, the doubts in his heart had been answered, so he didn’t continue to ask, after all, he didn’t want to mention this sad thing in front of Huang Feng.

“You don’t have to do this. Since these things have happened, let him go. I believe that the people of Yan, the emperor and the ministers in the Yan court will remember him, and he will not be dead in this life.”

Huang Feng said, while he raised his head and looked at Lin Tian and Chen Huifang. Seeing that they were silent, he spoke to Lin Tian and Chen Huifang.

However, Lin Tian and Chen Huifang still heard the sadness in Huang Feng’s words, but they didn’t know how to persuade Huang Feng.
