Chapter 235 Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng
Zhao Heng stood up and slowly walked to Zhao Kang. He looked down at him with deep disappointment in his eyes. His face was gloomy and he said in a heavy tone:
"To achieve your goals, you've resorted to any means necessary, even failing to distinguish friend from foe and disregarding the rules of the court. With such behavior, how could you possibly convince the people even if I passed the throne to you?
How can you govern this world? Do you think you can secure your throne by relying on schemes and cruel tactics?
Zhao Kang's body trembled violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt. His face turned pale in an instant, his voice filled with tears, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness. He trembled and said, "Father, I..."
Zhao Hengzhen interrupted him mercilessly, his face full of anger, his eyebrows raised, and he shouted loudly:
"Also, look at the followers you've gathered around you. Most of them are just people who curry favor with the powerful. They're only interested in your status, not in truly supporting you.
Once you lose power, they will scatter like monkeys when the tree falls and disappear without a trace."
Just then, a eunuch hurried in and whispered a few words in Zhao Hengzhen's ear.
"What? Impossible?" Zhao Hengzhen's face was full of astonishment, his eyes wide open.
Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Kang, who was crying and looking miserable, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in a slightly softer tone, "
"Kang'er, go back and think about it. Your father has kept you from being deposed for two years, and this time I left the palace to give you a chance."
Hey! I gave you a chance, but you couldn't grasp it!
Zhao Hengzhen sighed secretly in his heart.
"Go down and think about it first. I can only help you up to this point!" Zhao Hengzhen said, waving his hand with helplessness and fatigue on his face, signaling Zhao Kang to leave.
"Kang'er, take some time to go see your mother. You got lucky this time, but next time your mother won't be so lucky."
Just when Zhao Kang walked to the door of the imperial study, Zhao Hengzhen suddenly said this.
Zhao Kang was startled, his face turning pale as paper in an instant: "Finally, I finally found out..."
After watching the prince walk out of the door in a daze for a long time, Wu Wei approached cautiously and said, "The prince has done something like this, he will not let it go easily."
"I can't kill him. I'll give him another chance, but I definitely can't keep this prince."
Zhao Hengzhen frowned, his expression solemn, and he showed no optimism about Zhao Kang's future.
However, our ancestors had strict family rules that stipulated that the eldest son should be the heir apparent. Unless the situation was extremely critical, the position of crown prince could not be easily changed.
Wu Wei's eyes rolled slightly, his expression cautious, and he lightly changed the subject: "Regarding the matter of the Sixth Prince, it has been verified to be true. There is indeed such a person."
"He's not dead? Then why did he become Li Xin's consort?..."
Zhao Hengzhen was full of doubts and surprise, frowning tightly. Who gave the Prince of Dingzhou the courage to let his own flesh and blood marry into his family?
He could only bury this suspicion deep in his heart. After all, such matters were not something that could be discussed openly.
Zhao Hengzhen's face was gloomy. He looked at Wu Wei with a sharp gaze and said, "Then please tell me in detail. What is the connection between these two things?"
Wu Wei bowed slightly, looking nervous, and replied cautiously:
"Your Majesty, this matter is quite complicated. According to my investigation, the Sixth Prince met Li Xin's daughter while living among the common people. Perhaps they fell in love, so he married her. However, whether there are other people secretly plotting this, we need to investigate further."
Zhao Hengzhen snorted coldly, his expression growing even uglier. "Mutual affection? I don't think it's that simple. Doesn't the Prince of Dingzhou know the rules of the royal family?"
Wu Wei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps the Prince of Dingzhou was just confused for a moment, his mind clouded by his own romantic feelings."
Zhao Hengzhen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in his gaze, and said sternly, "Confused? I think he's incredibly audacious! If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, where will the dignity of the imperial family be?"
Wu Wei quickly responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to get to the bottom of this matter."
Zhao Heng was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is the Sixth Prince doing now?"
Wu Wei hesitated for a moment, a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince seems safe and sound in Li Xin's residence, but we do not yet know what he is thinking."
Zhao Hengzhen frowned and paced back and forth, looking anxious: "What should I do? If the Sixth Prince harbors resentment..."
The emperor never cared about why the sixth brother came back to life.
Luancheng, after suffering a brutal war, quickly resumed production.
What the city lacks most now is food, and what the army lacks most now is weapons and ammunition.
"Speed up the production of gunpowder. The next focus will be on purchasing the raw materials for gunpowder, and this must be done in secret." Zhao Sheng had a serious expression and a firm gaze.
"Sir, there is a shortage of food in the city right now. Shouldn't we purchase some food first?"
Zhao Yongsheng looked at Zhao Sheng in astonishment, with a face full of confusion. According to this gentleman's character in the past, the first thing he considered was the people's livelihood.
"Look at how much food we have now, and how much raw materials we have left to make spices." Zhao Sheng frowned slightly and continued to speak to Zhao Yongsheng with a focused expression.
"Sir, these statistics were always done by the princess in the past. I, I have never participated in the statistics." Zhao Yongsheng looked embarrassed and scratched his head.
When he heard Zhao Yongsheng say this, he remembered that Zhao Zhen had been in charge of this matter before, and he was usually responsible to Li Shuya.
Liang Dong, who was leaning against the door frame, saw Zhao Sheng looking at him and quickly stood up and came over.
"My Lord, is there something wrong?" Liang Dong said respectfully.
"Zhao Zhen, where are you?" Zhao Sheng asked.
"Miss Zhao, I'm staying with the princess today." Liang Dong replied quickly.
Mr. Zhao nodded to show that he understood. He planned to ask Zhao Zhen when he had time to visit Li Shuya.
Unexpectedly, Liang Dong asked, "How about I go and pick up the young lady?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Sheng agreed involuntarily, but felt a little regretful afterwards. Although the workshop was not far from the princess's mansion, he didn't want this girl to run back and forth.
After Liang Dong left, Zhao Sheng continued to discuss other things with Zhao Yongsheng.
"Gatling has rushed out another one, and Master Lu asked if we should continue production?" Zhao Yongsheng said seriously.
"We are too slow in making bullets, and these guys are feeding them too much bullets. We should not make them for the time being. We can consider improving the rifles, preferably making sniper rifles." Zhao Sheng had already made plans, and his eyes flashed with thought.
The most important thing is that Mr. Zhao has already started considering producing silencers.
"Also," Zhao Sheng continued, "I designed the RPG, combined it with the crossbow's firing ability, and made more warheads."
"Okay." Zhao Yongsheng is now the leader of the security intelligence agency and also a member of the Zhao family. Zhao Sheng has brought wealth to their family. As a member of the Zhao family, he swears to defend this hard-earned wealth to the death, and his face is full of determination.
Liang Dong and Mao Wang escorted Zhao Zhen over. Zhao Sheng asked Mao Wang, "Why are you here?"
Mao Wang scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Prince Consort, I want to use your connections to get me into the combat unit with you."
Mr. Zhao felt that something was wrong with Mao Wang today, but he did not rush to answer his question. Instead, he pulled Zhao Zhen over, asked her to sit on a chair next to the conference table, and told her his plan.
