Chapter 249 Yu Jiashu Attends the Banquet of King Zhao
The servants in the room hesitated for a moment, but seeing the master's sharp eyes, they still stepped forward and pulled Yu Tianzong away.
Yu Tianzong was still yelling, "I won't apologize! I won't apologize!"
Tears welled up in Li's eyes as she knelt on the ground, pleading with Yu Pengze, "Master, Tianzong is still young, please spare him..."
"He's still young! He's sixteen!" Yu Pengze paced back and forth angrily. "Beat him! Give him a good beating!"
Li knelt on the ground and wept.
She regretted it; she regretted marrying Yu Pengze.
She had seized the position of Wang's legal wife and driven Wang and her son out.
Yu Pengze used sweet words to deceive her, making her believe that she was the love of his life.
But later, Yu Pengze no longer needed the Li family, so he gradually became indifferent to her and even took more than a dozen concubines.
The Li family's business depended on her, but her position at home plummeted. Her husband doted on his concubine, and she didn't dare utter a sound.
She later realized that a person who could drive away his wife and son could not be a good person.
She naively believed that he did all these things because he loved her.
The result... well...
Marrying Yu Pengze is worse than marrying a dog!
Yu Tianzong was pressed firmly onto the bench, and the cane fell one after another with a dull thud. After ten blows, blood appeared.
Yu Tianzong howled like a banshee, and after twenty blows, he finally gave in: "Father, your son knows he was wrong! Your son kowtows to my brother to apologize!"
Yu Jiashu remained silent.
I thought he was so principled, but this is all?
The flogging finally stopped, and Yu Tianzong lay slumped on the bench as if he were dead.
With the help of his servants, he limped into the house.
Li was crying uncontrollably and rushed over to check on Yu Tianzong's injuries.
Yu Tianzong approached Yu Jiashu, and a servant helped him kneel down. He kowtowed to the ground, saying, "Brother, I know I was wrong! I apologize to you!"
Yu Jiashu smiled and helped the man up: "We are brothers, these are all trivial matters, little brother, you don't need to worry about them."
Yu Pengze was finally satisfied.
The eldest son is the most sensible.
Yu Pengze had a doctor examine Yu Tianzong's injuries, and then ordered him to stay in his room and reflect on his actions, forbidding him from leaving.
Yu Jiashu was fairly satisfied with the result.
I fell into the water myself, and this is the result I got, so it's not too bad.
However, he could not forgive Yu Pengze because of this.
Then he remembered that he had been back at the Yu family for several days and needed to do some serious work, such as collecting evidence of Yu Pengze's crimes.
It's just a bit difficult.
Yu Pengze was still wary of him after his return, and had not yet discussed business matters with him. He had even sent his servant, Ah Hu, to keep an eye on him in secret, and he knew all of this.
-----------------
Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Yu Jiashu was a little nervous when he first met King Zhao.
He had only recently entered officialdom and had not met many high-ranking officials.
He also prepared gifts: a fine sword for King Zhao and an exquisite gold hairpin for the princess.
Of course, all the money came from Yu Pengze.
Yu Jiashu felt that Yu Pengze had never supported him or given him a single coin over the years, so he felt no guilt about using Yu Pengze's money.
Therefore, he explained in detail to Yu Pengze the importance of maintaining a good relationship with King Zhao.
King Zhao maintains a neutral stance on the surface, but in reality he has already pledged allegiance to the Emperor and is now in an opposing camp to King Zhan.
However, neither the War King nor his cronies knew about this matter; they were still hoping to win over the King Zhao.
Yu Pengze felt that if his son caught the eye of King Zhao, or even married King Zhao's daughter, it would be possible to win King Zhao over to the War King's camp, which would be a great achievement. If King Zhao gained power, his family would surely rise to prominence, so he specially prepared valuable gifts.
Yu Jiashu waited in the guest hall for a short while before King Zhao appeared with his daughter.
Today, Xiao Sirou wore a purple dress that accentuated her shapely figure. It was clear that she had dressed up carefully. Yu Jiashu was stunned and blushed.
King Zhao was tall and had the bearing of a military general.
Yu Jiashu quickly stood up and bowed: "Your subject pays respects to Prince Zhao and Princess."
King Zhao looked at the Yu Jia tree and said, "No need for formalities."
Yu Jiashu raised his head.
King Zhao was indeed taken aback when he saw him.
He is indeed a handsome man; no wonder his daughter likes him.
Yu Jiashu quickly presented the prepared gifts.
King Zhao looked at the precious sword that Yu Jiashu had sent him. It was clearly a fine sword that could cut through iron like mud, and King Zhao picked it up and couldn't put it down.
Xiao Sirou was playing with the gold hairpin that Yu Jiashu had given her. It was a very exquisite design, and she liked it very much.
This was the first time in her life she had received a gift from a man, and it was from Yu Jiashu, so she was very happy.
King Zhao felt even more favorably disposed towards the young man, thinking that he was capable and courteous.
As the banquet began, King Zhao and Yu Jiashu started talking about the future.
"Do you want to develop your career in Kyoto in the future?" King Zhao asked.
This issue alerted Yu Jiashu.
He vaguely sensed that this question was very important to King Zhao, and even Xiao Sirou was looking at him with wide eyes.
Yu Jiashu replied, "These matters must be arranged by Your Majesty. However, if I had a choice, I would actually like to lead troops into battle."
King Zhao was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to lead troops into battle.
"Are you a martial artist? Do you understand military strategy?"
Yu Jiashu replied, "He is a martial artist with some knowledge of military strategy."
The two then discussed many things related to the battlefield and military strategy.
Xiao Sirou couldn't understand either, and she was getting sleepy.
When the conversation reached its peak, King Zhao laughed heartily, feeling as if he and the young man had hit it off immediately.
King Zhao felt it was inappropriate to directly ask if they were willing to come to Huaiping, since it was their first meeting.
So I subtly inquired and discovered that he was not opposed to joining the army in Huaiping.
Anyway, I'll stay in Kyoto for a few more days and ask my brother for people when the time is right.
Find a husband for his daughter to live with him!
King Zhao and Yu Jiashu chatted until very late before Yu Jiashu went home.
When Yu Jiashu left, Xiao Sirou awkwardly went up to him and presented him with a handkerchief she had embroidered.
Yu Jiashu took it and saw that there was a pair of mandarin ducks on the handkerchief.
The princess's intentions are very clear.
Yu Jiashu took the handkerchief and thanked him repeatedly.
Xiao Sirou felt a sweet warmth in her heart when she saw Yu Jiashu accept the handkerchief.
However, she felt a little uneasy.
Many people already know about my past.
I don't know if Yu Jiashu knows about her past.
She didn't dare mention it at all.
Let's try asking again next time we meet.
-----------------
Yu Jiashu returned to the Yu residence with a delighted expression.
He was in a great mood, everything looked pleasing to the eye, and he felt as if the trees and birds on the road were smiling at him.
Every now and then, he would take out Xiao Sirou's handkerchief, carefully unfold it, and look at it; it smelled sweet.
Upon returning home, Yu Pengze immediately asked how it went. Yu Jiashu said that King Zhao admired him greatly, but didn't say much else.
Yu Pengze was overjoyed; his son had gained the favor of King Zhao, which was a great thing.
"Then, is there any chance for you and King Zhao's daughter?" Yu Pengze asked.
Yu Jiashu blushed. "It's not even close to happening yet."
Li overheard the conversation between the father and son outside the door and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Before, Yu Jiashu was like a little beggar.
Now, he has become the head of the Ministry of War and has also gained the favor of King Zhao. He may marry a princess.
On the other hand, his son was beaten, kowtowed to him to apologize, and was even grounded.
Li felt increasingly uneasy.
She was really curious and decided to go out and find out what kind of person this Princess Zhao was.
Day two.
Xiao Sirou felt it would be better to tell Yu Jiashu about her past.
Unable to bear it any longer, he went directly to the Yu family to find him.
