Wang Jian suddenly recalled that Zhao Yan said earlier that he was only born after eighteen months of pregnancy, right?
This matched!
Zhao Yan was Zhao Yingluo's son, and Zhao Yingluo was the woman who had a private engagement with Brother Zheng five years ago.
Eighteen months after Brother Zheng left the ferry, Zhao Yan was born.
Didn't this mean that Zhao Yan was Brother Zheng's son?
Thinking up to here, Wang Jian was so excited that his face was somewhat red.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty…"
Wang Jian stammered.
Brother Zheng frowned slightly and asked,"Old General, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so hesitant?"”
Wang Jian inhaled a deep breath of air before speaking.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yan might really be your son!”
"Old General Wang, don't talk nonsense." I know you love talents, and that kid is indeed liked by others. However, this kinship was not something that could be casually acknowledged!”
" No!" Wang Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said," What I mean is that when Zhao Yan was in my residence just now, he personally told me that before he was born, his mother was pregnant for eighteen months…"
" What did you say?!"
Brother Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, and the veins on his hand that was holding the globe popped out.
Suddenly learning this news from Wang Jian's mouth, even Big Brother Zheng was unable to maintain his calm too.
These few days, because of the news that Dun Ruo brought back, he almost couldn't sleep at night.
Brother Zheng knew very well how Zhao Yan was.
He still remembered when he was on the sand dune, this delicate child stood in front of him and said in a childish voice that he was his son.
At that time, Brother Zheng only found it a little funny.
However, as they spent more time together, Zhao Yan continued to show his magical abilities and became closer to Brother Zheng.
Brother Zheng couldn't help but think about how good it would be if this child was really his son.
Unfortunately, even if he was the emperor, he could not be careless when it came to recognizing his relatives.
Brother Zheng had no problem acknowledging Zhao Yan as his godson.
However, true blood relatives had to acknowledge their ancestors and enter their names into the Imperial Clan.
Because of this, these days, Brother Zheng urged Dun Ruo to investigate this matter thoroughly.
A few days ago, Dun Ruo brought back the final news, but it disappointed Brother Zheng.
The woman whom he had secretly promised to marry gave birth to Zhao Yan eighteen months after he left.
Even though he had told himself countless times that he had left without saying goodbye.
Zhao Yingluo waited for no results and finally promised someone else. This was human nature.
The knot in his heart was completely due to the relationship between Zhao Yan and Zhao Yingluo.
However, to be fair, did Brother Zheng really not mind at all?
No, it could be said that this was his greatest dilemma!
If Zhao Yingluo betrayed him before giving birth to Zhao Yan, how would he face Zhao Yan in the future?
Did he say that he didn't feel disgusted at all when facing Zhao Yan?
Brother Zheng himself did not believe such words.
He was the Ancestral Dragon, the First Emperor. In this world, no one knew better than him how much power an Emperor had.
When he faced Zhao Yan, he had lost his composure. To Zhao Yan, that was definitely a huge disaster.
Brother Zheng didn't want Zhao Yan to make a small mistake that would make him impatient or even annoyed.
He knew very well that Zhao Yan had not done anything wrong.
Ever since he met this little child, he had brought him too many surprises.
Moreover, he had also made up for the joy of family that he had not enjoyed in his early years because he had been busy with national affairs.
Under such circumstances, no matter what he did, it would be unfair to Zhao Yan.
Throughout Brother Zheng's life, no matter what difficulties he faced, he was able to face them calmly.
One was one, two was two, there was never any conflict.
However, he did not know how to deal with this matter.
Now, he heard Wang Jian say that Zhao Yan might really be his son.
For a moment, Brother Zheng fell into a huge ecstasy.
Turning around, he thought of what Wang Jian had mentioned before, that Zhao Yan seemed to have the intention of leaving.
Even though Brother Zheng's willpower was as strong as iron and stone, when he thought about it at this moment, he could not help but feel a faint pain in his heart.
These few days, I have indeed done wrong!
At this moment, the scene of his first encounter with Zhao Yan appeared in Brother Zheng's mind.
"I blocked your carriage to give you a punch!”
"Let go, let go. Do you want to murder your own son?”
"My master said that I'm your son. Otherwise, why would I come all the way here to find you?”
……
These scenes flashed through his mind.
When Brother Zheng came back to his senses, he realized that the corners of his eyes were actually a little sore.
This child must have had a hard time all these years, right?
Brother Zheng knew without asking.
Among the people, a woman who had a child out of marriage would be looked down upon by many people and cursed behind their backs.
Zhao Yan was only three years old, but he had traveled thousands of miles to find him.
As soon as they met, he saved her life and helped her eliminate the hidden danger around her.
However, he actually suspected the mother and son!
Zhao Yan's intention to leave was most likely because he felt that he was being neglected.
These few days, he had repeatedly asked to see him.
However, she was unwilling to see him because of the knot in her heart.
Brother Zheng could guess that the reason why Zhao Yan wanted Jane was to give him a globe.
This child had a heart full of fists, but he had coldly rejected her.
No wonder he was disheartened and wanted to leave.
Although Brother Zheng had always doted on Zhao Yan like a three-year-old child, he had never doubted Zhao Yan's ability and thoughts.
Even an adult couldn't accept being treated like this by him.
Furthermore, no matter how mature Zhao Yan was, he was still a three-year-old child.
Other children at this age only knew how to ask their parents for food and drink when they were hungry and thirsty.
If she was unhappy, she would complain to her parents.
When she was happy, she would share her joy with her parents.
But what about Zhao Yan?
Brother Zheng didn't even dare to imagine how Zhao Yan had survived after Zhao Yingluo's death.
Perhaps, his life of having no one to rely on had long taught him to be optimistic in the face of setbacks and setbacks in life.
It was precisely because of this that he was so sensible.
Even though there were some actions that gave people a headache, when they thought about it carefully, most of them were just some funny things that made people laugh and cry.
It could be said that Zhao Yan was a happy child.
No matter what he did, he would not be annoying.
He was smart and sensible.
However, the habits that he had revealed were not something that he was born with.
How much suffering and disdain had he experienced behind his likable personality?
I owe them too much!
Brother Zheng's expression kept changing. In the end, his expression gradually became firm.
He turned his head and smiled bitterly at Wang Jian."I was taking it for granted."
"Eighteen months of pregnancy. Although it's rare, it's not something rare."”
He was right.
Take Lao Tzu for example. It was rumored that Lao Tzu was born when his mother was seventy years old. He was born when his left armpit was cut off. He was born with a white head, so he was called Lao Tzu.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas also had records of this. For example," Lu Zhong married the sister of the king of Guifang, known as Nu, and gave birth to six children. Three years later, three people came out from his mother's left flank and three from his right flank."
Compared to these rumors, being born after eighteen months of pregnancy was nothing.
"Where is Dunruo?"
Soon, Dunruo strode in and knelt on one knee in front of Brother Zheng.
"Quickly head to the ferry and find out if Zhao Yingluo was married back then!”
Dunruo accepted the order and left quickly.
"Your Majesty, no matter how fast the Black Ice Platform is, it will still take some time to investigate. However, I see that Zhao Yan has already made up his mind to leave. I'm afraid that the day of his departure is right before us.”
Wang Jian said after Dunruo left.
Instantly, a hint of panic flashed across Brother Zheng's face.
Even though Patunruo went to investigate this matter, Brother Zheng knew that the final result would most likely be the same as what Zhao Yan had said.
In reality, he had already acknowledged that Zhao Yan was his biological son.
Because of her neglect, Zhao Yan was disheartened and decided to leave.
This was definitely a novel experience for Brother Zheng.
Unfortunately, this experience was not very wonderful.
Brother Zheng didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
At this moment, Wang Jian said from the side,""Your Majesty, this matter is just a misunderstanding. If you explain it to Zhao Yan personally, everything will be fine.”
"Zhao Yan's nature is pure and innocent, and he hasn't been loved for many years, which is why his reaction is so extreme. Since he had specially asked me to give this globe to Your Majesty before he left, it meant that his feelings for Your Majesty had not changed.”
"Moreover, Zhao Yan is just a child after all. He doesn't hold grudges. Between father and son, was there anything that couldn't be said?”
Speaking up to here, Wang Jian could not help but smile.
He thought back to how he had misunderstood Zhao Yan back then and hadn't taught him the art of war properly. In the end, he had been played by Zhao Yan.
After he corrected his attitude, Zhao Yan did not take the previous matter to heart. He was respectful and polite to him and no longer teased him like before.
Although this child was young, he was actually very clear in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jian's suggestion that he thought was perfect did not receive Brother Zheng's approval.
"No!"
Brother Zheng said subconsciously.
After saying that, he realized that he had lost his composure.
Brother Zheng coughed dryly and said to Wang Jian,"I've been busy with government affairs recently and really can't free myself. Why don't we do this? The old general will personally go and ask that kid to stay. How about that?”
Wang Jian widened his eyes.
It was clearly your emperor's fault. Why did you let me, an official, take the blame?
If it was something else, then forget it, but this is ultimately your family matter.
It's not appropriate for me to get involved, right?
"You taught that kid the art of war, so you are his master and disciple. He will definitely listen to your words.”
Wang Jian could clearly feel that when Brother Zheng said this, his tone clearly lacked the usual confidence of his words being of great weight…
Sigh, the burden of being an idol killed people!
Wang Jian understood that Brother Zheng could not let go of the majesty of an emperor and was unwilling to personally come forward to do this kind of thing.
However, he was not willing to do this either!
Brother Zheng and Zhao Yan were father and son, after all. No matter what, they were still fine.
But what right did he have?
Zhao Yan, this devilish brat, was very eccentric and had his own opinions.
Back then, it was precisely because he realized that Wang Jian was fooling him, but after tormenting him with all his might, it made Wang Jian suffer unspeakable.
If he really made up his mind to leave, Wang Jian really did not have the confidence to persuade him to stay.
As the saying went, the one who tied the bell must untie it. This matter, Wang Jian always felt that it was inappropriate to handle it this way.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yan is extremely intelligent. I really don't have the confidence to convince him.”
Brother Zheng's beauty gradually stood up.
"He's just a child who's throwing a tantrum. Can he turn the world upside down?”
After a pause, Brother Zheng waved his hand and said domineeringly,"Old General, you don't have to worry. If he really doesn't listen to my advice, we can just force him to stay. Even if the soldiers were to guard him, he was not allowed to leave Xianyang City!”
" This isn't good…" Wang Jian was dumbfounded.
Brother Zheng waved his hand, clearly determined.
Seeing Wang Jian's troubled expression, Brother Zheng thought for a moment and finally said.
"Old General, you can tell him that I'm going to see him tonight. If he's dissatisfied, he can tell me face to face!”
Wang Jian immediately let out a long breath.
With these words, this task was much easier to handle.
Even though Brother Zheng still didn't look like he was willing to lower his head to Zhao Yan.
However, as long as he was willing to meet Zhao Yan, there shouldn't be any problems.
He only needed to make Zhao Yan stay until night. Wang Jian was more or less confident in this.
After bidding farewell to Brother Zheng, Wang Jian rushed to Zhao Yan's new residence without stopping.
He rushed into the backyard and found Zhao Yan's place. He saw that there were already many bags packed in the courtyard.
The back door of the courtyard was wide open, and a carriage was already parked outside.
At this moment, Zhao Yan was standing on the steps and speaking to the servants and maids gathered in the courtyard.
"Master and servant, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Later, go to the butler and ask for the dismissal payment. Everyone has it…"
Instantly, Wang Jian did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yan.
Wang Jian waved his hand at the butler, who was standing at the side with a flustered expression.
Instantly, the butler felt as if he had been pardoned and fled with the people in the courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhao Yan and Wang Jian were left in the courtyard.
"Are you really leaving?"
Wang Jian looked at Zhao Yan somewhat helplessly.
In terms of stubbornness, this child really took after his father!
A harmless smile hung on Zhao Yan's face. He patted the beast skin bag that he had already carried on his back and said,
"Old General, are you here to send me off?”
Wang Jian said angrily," His Majesty is the Emperor after all. Before you invented the art of making paper, the bamboo tube he used to handle government affairs every day weighed several hundred catties.”
"His Majesty is so busy. It's not normal for him to play with you every day. It's just that you haven't seen him for a few days and you're throwing a tantrum. This isn't right!”
Zhao Yan rolled his eyes.
If anyone else had made this expression, they would have been extremely asking for a beating.
However, he looked a little cute when he did this.
Wang Jian also felt that it was cute, but he had the urge to beat someone up.
He understood what Zhao Yan meant.
Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?
