The next day, Zhao Xin got up early, first sent his cousin Li Ji away, and then came to the palace with a yawn.

When he came to the gate of the West Palace, he saw Han Sheng also unexpectedly, so he hurried forward and bowed, "Uncle Han, why are you here?"

Han Sheng held the sword and looked at the sky, looked at Zhao Xin and smiled, "You guy got up early, and thought you were going to come later."

"How is it? I had fun yesterday, right? Everything is fine, Mr.?"

Han Sheng and Li Dui have known each other for many years, so they can be considered old friends. Logically speaking, he would not have been able to leave yesterday's birthday party, but five days ago, the father suddenly sent him north to do business, so he did not attend the birthday party.

Zhao Xin said with a smile, "Grandpa is in good condition, and I was very happy yesterday, and Uncle Han is worried."

Han Sheng nodded and said, "That's good, I'm so sorry I was not able to attend the old man's birthday party."

He took out a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to Zhao Xin. "This is the Han jade I asked someone to bring back from Kunshan. Mr. Suwen likes to collect jade. This is my gift this time. I have important tasks these days. I am afraid I don't have time to pay homage to the old man and Brother Li, so I'll ask you to hand it over."

Zhao Xin hurriedly took it and put it away. He only saw that the jade was crystal clear and cold, and he put it in the palm of his hand. It was thought that it was an extremely rare top-grade cold jade. It seemed that Han Sheng had put a lot of thought into making the Li family, so Zhao Xin also smiled and thanked her for her grandfather.

Yesterday was Zhao Xin's day of rest, and it was Li Wei's turn, but Zhao Xin looked around but did not see Li Wei's figure. He couldn't help but curse, "Why didn't that guy Li Wei see him? Could it be that he was lazy and ran out to fool around again?"

Han Sheng smiled and said, "You misunderstood him this time. I came to take him over early in the morning. He was vigilant all night, and I think I'm sleeping soundly in the barracks now."

Zhao Xin nodded with a "oh" and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Han, is there any arrangements for the Lord's father? Why do you want you to come in person?"

As the doctor, Han Sheng was in charge of the defense of the Nine Palaces. In addition, he was also responsible for the Lord's father's food, clothing, sleep and residence, and the promulgation of the King's pardon. He often left Handan to do business under the orders of the Lord's father. Therefore, he did not interfere in the specific defense of the West Palace, and was left to Zhao Xin, the commander of the Yulin Duke. Over time, Han Sheng and Zhao Xin formed a tacit understanding and cooperated with each other. Since Han Sheng came in person this time, he must have followed the orders of the Lord's father, so Zhao Xin asked this question.

Han Sheng glanced at the left and right, and was sure that no one was allowed to whisper: "The eldest son is back."

Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Honor Anyang is back?"

Han Sheng nodded and whispered, "I am ordered to go north this time, and I am urgently calling the eldest son to return to Handan."

Speaking of this, Han Sheng glanced at Zhao Xin and seemed to say something, "The story of the eldest son entering the city has not been announced yet. You must know sooner or later, so it is okay for me to say it to you. As for other people, it is best not to know that."

Zhao Xin naturally knew that Han Sheng was reminding him not to tell his father and uncle for the time being, so he nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle Han, I know the importance of what should be said and what should not be said. I know in my heart."

"This is the best." Han Sheng nodded, his expression calmed a lot, and he said with a smile, "But it won't be too difficult for you. The eldest son returned to Handan this time with the consent of the king, and there was no overreach. There were only some differences in the itinerary, which was a few days earlier than expected."

Zhao Xin seemed to have some insights. In the court that day, the father forcibly passed the incident of Anyang Jun returning to the court, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the two. Now that Anyang Jun suddenly changed his schedule and returned to the court early, Zhao Xin began to notice something wrong.

Did the father start to worry that someone would be unfavorable to Anyangjun on the way, so he personally sent Han Sheng to take him back?

This possibility is not ruled out. You should know that Anyang Jun holds heavy troops in Daidi and lives in the military camp for many years, so naturally no one dares to be unfavorable to him. But leaving Daidi is different. Most of the counties along the way belong to Zhao's domestic rule, and the main father's power is mostly in the border army, and his control in the internal rule is not strong, so if someone secretly acts and mobilizes surrounding troops to siege it, it is not impossible.

You should know that the master's father summoned Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang back to Handan to participate in politics, which has made the royal party alert. Zhao Zhang, the deposed prince of the previous dynasty, posed a great threat to Zhao He's throne in terms of blood relatives and military merits.

Zhao Xin met Han Sheng's look at him, and became more and more sure of his guess, and felt a little panicked. He suddenly realized that if the conflict between the master father and the king intensified, his uncle would definitely follow the king. His father was always close to his uncle, and he was also a royal party. And as the master father's most valued lieutenant, where would he go?

Zhao Xin's throat was a little dry. Looking at Han Sheng who was looking at him, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Han, do you think if one day the Lord's father and the king really reach the point of fighting each other, where will we go?"

Han Sheng's face suddenly sank and he roared in a low voice, "Bold, are you supposed to say this? I think you really don't want to live anymore!"

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Han, why do you have to cover me? With your identity and insight, you can't have thought of this possibility. Now we are all close ministers and confidants around the Lord's Father, and we are all honor and disgrace, so why don't you tell me honestly?"

Han Sheng was stunned for a while, then lowered his voice and said slowly, "Okay, you kid are really bold and careful. You should know that everyone is pretending to be confused about such things. No one dares to tell it out, and only you dare."

"If that happens, as close ministers around the Lord Father, do you think we can still have a choice? There is only one way to the end, and there is no way out. If the Lord Father loses power, you and I will be liquidated. My old man has followed the Lord Father for more than 30 years and has not participated in anything, so he will definitely be executed. As for you, you are still lucky. With your uncle and father, you will probably not lose your life. But don't think about your career, you can only be a rich and idle person in your life."

When Han Sheng said this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Besides... I am from South Korea and the eldest son's distant cousin. I'm enough to be liquidated by this relationship."

He looked up at Zhao Xin and said without understanding the silence: "I think you are a man who values ​​affection and friendship, so he treats you as his own person and tells you this. Don't let me down. You know, Zhao Xi and the others are all worried about you, because you don't have a choice like us, so I'm reluctant to tell you many things. Today I will tell you this, do you understand my feelings?"

Zhao Xin was already in a state of confusion at this time. Hearing this, he nodded subconsciously and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Han, the person I, Zhao Xin, admired the most in my life, is the master's father, and the person who treats me the best besides my parents is also him. I am not a traitor, and I still know the principle of repaying kindness. If anyone dares to be unfavorable to the master's father, I will stand up without hesitation, no matter who it is."

Han Sheng smiled and patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, the Lord Father has really read you wrong. What I admire most in this life is the Lord Father's wisdom of knowing people, and I have never missed a person."

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly when he heard this. It was really hard to calm down in his heart. If it were him a year ago, he would never have thought that he would have been directly involved in the power struggle between the highest levels of Zhao State, nor that he would have thought that he would have an extremely embarrassing identity. In fact, since he entered the Yulin, his life had changed. All this was like an invisible hand pushing him behind his back, causing him to fall deeper and deeper, and finally he could not extricate himself.

He looked into the palace gate and said calmly, "Uncle Han, can Anyang Jun be in the palace of the Lord Father?"

"Yes." Han Sheng nodded with a complicated expression.
