Chapter 530 (1/2)
Kong Changhui looked at Tian Shu uneasily. Tian Shu under the hall was scolded and asked by Xiao Zimu, and his face was not surprised or flustered
He knelt there and respectfully replied: ”What your highness Qi said is very true, but what if the little marquis is not satisfied with it? He accepted the emperor's grace but was not grateful. He helped his highness King Mo and wanted to raise troops for rebellion. That's why he colluded with the state of Hu. Old general Zhao is estimated to know about it. Otherwise, how can his sons and daughters of the Zhao family be safe in the war, but the soldiers in the front line of carrying guns were poisoned?”
There was an uproar inside and outside the hall. Zhao Xingwen couldn't stand his slandering old general Zhao like this. He rushed to the fence and tore away the crowd while shouting at him: ”you talk nonsense and spit blood. Dare to slander Grandpa. I won't tear your dirty mouth...”
There was a commotion outside the hall. Most of the people still believed in general Zhao's character and even spontaneously stepped back to make way for him.
Guan Xi guarded the gate and looked at Zhao Xingwen who rushed over. He could only turn his head and ask Kong Changhui in his eyes.
Kong Changhui discussed with Jing Qibin and Feng Zhun: ”this little General Zhao is a soldier of the Zhao family. He was also in Hanyang at the time of the incident. He should be allowed to enter the hall and answer.”
Jing Qibin didn't have any opinion. They looked at Feng Zhun together. Feng Zhun secretly glanced at Xiao Yanjun without trace. Seeing that he nodded slightly, he also smiled and replied: ”I naturally have no opinion.”
Kong Changhui nodded to Guan Xi. Zhao xingwenyang rushed to the hall. Xiao Zimu was afraid that he would do bad things on impulse. He coughed gently and aggravated his language airway to him: ”General Zhao, since you are allowed to go to the court, you can reply well.”
Xiao Yanjun said, ”if General Zhao wants to tear his mouth in public in this hall, won't someone else poke you on the back and say you're guilty?”
At the beginning of summer, he looked at Zhao Xingwen's hand that had just been persuaded by Xiao Zimu to put down. He planned to lift it up again. He coughed and looked at Zhao Xingwen deeply, indicating that he should not be impulsive.
Zhao Xingwen clenched his teeth and forced himself to press down the raging anger in his heart, He arched his hand at the hall: ”what Zhao Jiajun's soldiers were exposed to was not poison, but a special powder mixed into the flour by Hu Guo's fine work. If they ate it for a long time, they would be weak in limbs. However, most of the daily meals of military rank above general were rice, which was not involved. The reason why he didn't mix it all was because he was afraid of being found by us.”
When Zhao Xingwen said this, he suddenly pulled off his robe and tore open his middle coat, revealing his scarred chest, arrow wounds, knife wounds and whip wounds, which were full of scars.
”We, the sons of Zhao family, didn't go to the front line to kill the enemy any time. I, Zhao Xingwen, joined the army when I was seven years old. I grew up in the army when I was a child and felt like brothers and sisters of Zhao family army. The scars on my body are our pride, the merit of bravery and the evidence of fighting. My grandfather, Zhao Dingshan, has been loyal to the king and patriotic since childhood. Our duty is to protect the son of Xiao People live and work in peace and contentment. ” Zhao Xingwen paused here.
He pointed to Tian Shu and looked angry: ”and this man actually said that my grandfather would collude with the state of Hu for his grandson, and even unite with his highness King Mo to rebel. Can you believe this nonsense?”
The people of the state of Xiao have always believed in general Zhao, just like a God.
Even if there are men in the family who want to perform military service, if they can enter the Zhao family barracks, it will be a glory.
Leaving aside the relatives of the soldiers who died in the war, many men in the families of the common people in the state of Xiao are still in the Zhao family barracks. Many people even watched Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu grow up in the army.
General Zhao is more critical of his descendants than ordinary soldiers, and they know it.
Therefore, many of them have just spontaneously made way for Zhao Xingwen.
