Not to mention the internal strife in the Song Kingdom, how the Wei clan arranged the affairs of the Le clan who defected, but said that Zhao Wuxian, the current leader of the Zhao family.

Today's Zhao Wuxian is over the age of old, approaching the year of the Cane Dynasty. Although it is still tough, it is inseparable from the crutches. In his early military career, he did not leave much pain on his body, but he experienced more iron bones.

At such an age, even if his body still looks strong, Zhao Wuxian has not set a successor, and even if Zhao Jia is his sister-in-law, he has not designated him as the next leader of the Zhao family.

As a result, some people secretly speculated, could this Zhao Wuxian also choose a capable person to live in like Zhao Ying? In this way, there are some people who think they are capable and ready to move, and they are connected in private, among which Zhao Wuxian's half-brother Zhongyang Jun Zhao Ni Zhao Wouji is the most active, this Zhao Ni Xiao Zhao Wuxian is nearly twenty years old, his qualifications and wisdom are not bad, and he is also very prestigious among the Zhao clan.

The second is Zhao Wuxian's son-in-law Handan Zhao Jia, who has won the support of many people as his son-in-law.

Then there is Zhongmu (now Hebi, Henan) Zhao Huan, this Zhao Huan is the grandson of Zhao Bolu, the son of Zhao Zhou, in the early years of Zhao Ying's succession, through the Gu Bu Ziqing physiognomy to set the concubine Zhao Wuxian to take over, and the son-in-law Zhao Bolu failed to take over. Later, Zhao Wuxian felt that he couldn't stand his brother, and in order to make up for it, he named Zhao Zhou, the son of Zhao Bolu, as the acting king, but this Zhao Zhou died early, and this Zhao Wuxian succeeded his grandson Zhao Huan as the acting monarch and appointed him to Zhongmu to govern this place. Therefore, some clansmen hoped that Zhao Wuxian would return the position of leader to Zhao Bolu's descendants.

This Zhao Wuxian is so old, I don't know when he fell ill, in order to know the information in the palace in time, he started to lay out in advance, and Zhao Ni, the Zhongyang Jun, had already returned to Jinyang in advance. And Zhao Jia also has his own lineage in Jinyang, some information came one after another, Zhao Jia learned about it, he didn't dare to delay more, once the wood was completed, it would be difficult to change it. So he made some arrangements for Handan, and drove back to Jinyang. Zhao Huan didn't go back, but still stayed in Zhongmu.

Jinyang City, Zhao Jia's official residence, Zhao Jia's second son Zhao Liang is telling Zhao Jia about some of Zhao Ni's actions in Jinyang.

"Father, since Uncle Zhao Ni returned to Jinyang, he has been widely contacted, and he has made a big announcement that the great-grandfather chooses the virtuous and not the heir, which is a long-term plan for the Zhao family for all generations, and I hope that my grandfather will follow the practice of the great-ancestor Many clansmen have been encouraged by him, and there are many people in the court who favor him." Zhao Liang stood down and said respectfully.

Zhao Jia sneered disdainfully, "Choosing a virtuous person or not choosing a concubine, could it be that he thinks he is very virtuous?" Where is he? What achievements can be made? It's just that his father sees him as a younger brother, loves him, and gives him some praise, and he really thinks he is very virtuous. ”

Zhao Jia's eldest son, Zhao Fengzi, said, "Since my grandfather is old, which of the people who have presided over the clan affairs over the years has not been handled by my father, and which one of the major external affairs has not been my father's agent?" With such merit and hard work, the people of the clan see it in their eyes, how can they allow others to distort it? ”

Zhao Liang echoed, "Yes, it was the last Handan flood, if it weren't for my father's good governance and good policy, it would be difficult to recover like this, who doesn't know such political achievements?" ”

Zhao Jia squinted his eyes, his fingers flicked the bookcase and was silent, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Fengzi, "That Zhao Ni has always been wrong with me, and I don't want to waste more energy with him." You go and see that Zhao Ni, ask him how He De wants to compete for the position of the sect master, if he can't say a thing or two, let him dispel this idea as soon as possible! ”

The next day, Zhao Fengzi came to see Zhao Jia angrily, "Father, that Zhao Ni is very rude!" I went to ask him at my father's behest, but I didn't want to be smashed out of the bottle by him, and you see, the wine stains on my robe have not yet dried! ”

Zhao Jia stared at Zhao Fengzi, "What did you say about this, how did Zhao Ni reply, and tell me in detail word for word!" ”

Zhao Fengzi said "yes", and then said indignantly, "I asked that Zhao Ni in my father's words, and that Zhao Ni roared and scolded when he heard the words, and said...... Say ......"

"Say what? Don't be afraid! ”

"Yes! He said that if you are not the eldest son, father, how can you take on the important responsibility of Handan with your little intelligence, and it will be difficult for you to even be a village. said that the reason why you were able to cure Handan was because of the great help of Guanqin and others. As for his merits, he said that when Zhiyao besieged the Zhao family, he was controlled by his grandfather, fought all the way, and fought countless enemies in Jinyang, if he didn't have such military exploits, how could he be named Zhongyang Jun? After saying that, he smashed me with a wine bottle, and Zhao Hu and Zhao Evil also stepped forward to push me, and said evilly, 'If it weren't for the fact that you are the eldest grandson of the sect master, I will beat you out!' 'This Zhao Ni father and son are so rude, father, you are the master of the child! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jia calmed down and walked around the hall, and after a while, Zhao Jia beckoned Zhao Fengzi and whispered in his ear, "You find a chance to meet Ji Gang under Zhao Ni and ask him to come to see me." Zhao Fengzi understood.

A few days later, in a secret room, Zhao Jia met with Ji Gang alone.

"Master, what did you command Ji Gang?"

"Then what unusual behavior did Zhao Nike have?"

"That Zhao Ni had secretly talked to his henchmen a few times in private, and he was tightly guarded, and I never found out the content, and then there were many more people in this Zhao Ni's house, although he was dressed as an ordinary person, but he could see that he was a brave warrior. Moreover, many carts of goods were transported many times, covered with grass, and the condition was like swords and armor. ”

"Oh? Can you be sure? ”

"Be sure! I have seen a corner of Nago Tip exposed. ”

"Hmmm! How many people are added to that house? ”

"There are about 100 people, but I also found in Zhao Ni's other rooms, and it is estimated that there are nearly three or four hundred people."

"Shhh So much! What is he going to do? Rebellion fails? Zhao Jia frowned, then stretched out and said to Ji Gang, "Okay, I know about this matter, don't mention it to others." ”

Ji Gang nodded and said yes, and then retired.

This Zhao Jia Haosheng sorted out his thoughts, slowly got up and came outside, looking at the sky, feeling suddenly enlightened. He shouted to his entourage, "Prepare the car and go to the palace." ”

Along the way, Zhao Jia thought about the words, and came to Zhao Wuxian's palace in a moment. Zhao Wuxian had just taken a nap at the moment, he was older, and he had more naps, and he was lying on the bed half-squinting at the moment. At this time, a palace maid came to report that Gongzi Jia came to ask for peace. Zhao Wuxian motioned for him to come in.

Zhao Jia respectfully stepped forward and knelt down to say goodbye, Zhao Jia admired his father very much, after the difficulties of Jinyang, it was his father who turned the tide in the crisis, not his father, Zhao may have disappeared in the long river of history.

"I've only seen you once since I've been back for so long, what are you busy with?" Zhao Wuxian asked with his eyes closed.

"Erchen is sorting out the political affairs of Handan and preparing to file with Taishi."

"Hmmm! Yes, there are also traces to follow when local political affairs are recorded, providing reference for future generations. Is there anything else you can do? ”

Zhao Jia was silent.

Seeing that there was no sound, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but open his eyes and squinted at Zhao Jia, "What's the matter, if you have something to say!" ”

Zhao Jia thought for a moment and said, "Erchen happened to get news that Uncle Zhao Ni's mansion suddenly increased a lot of warriors. ”

"Warriors? Wuji has always liked to watch people wrestle, and he is still like this at this age. ”

"It's just a bit of a lot."

"What's the law?"

"There are about four or five hundred people living in the four places."

"Huh? So much? What does he want so many warriors to do? ”

"I don't know. And some people saw that he secretly transported a lot of swords and armor in the mansion. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhao Wuxian sat up and leaned on the bed, "What did he do with so many warriors and swordsmen?" Are you serious? ”

"Seriously, how dare my son deceive my father. Moreover, Erchen also heard that Uncle Zhao Ni was trying to prepare for the succession by recruiting people everywhere, saying that his father, your successor should be a virtuous person. At the moment, there are a lot of supporters from outside. ”

"Why don't I know about this?" Zhao Wuxian said coldly. Older rulers are particularly interested in this power, for fear that others will take advantage of their old age to seize power. "Come on, pass Zhao Yi to come."

It didn't take long for Zhao Yi, the chief of the guard, to come.

"Have you heard any rumors out there lately?" Zhao Wuxian has a lot of trust in this chief of guards, and at this juncture, the first thing to ask about the news is to ask the chief of guards.

Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Jia, and then arched his hand, "I heard from the brothers below that there are many more people in Lord Zhao Ni's mansion, and there are also rumors about your successor. ”

"What's going on?"

"One is to support Lord Zhao Ni, and the reason for support is to follow the virtuous people of the ancestors; One is to support Gongzi Jia, and the eldest is the superior; First, I hope that you will return the position of the suzerain and the grandson of the deceased Lord Berlu. ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Zhao Wuxian patted the bed, "I'm not dead yet, I can't wait to wait for it, and I actually prepared troops." What's to be done? Is the army chaotic with my Zhao Palace? Isn't the rebellion in the lower palace long enough to remember? Zhao Wuxian roared and gasped.

Zhao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked Zhao Wuxian's chest. Zhao Wuxian eased down slightly, and pointed at Zhao Jia, "You, quickly mobilize troops and horses to arrest Zhao Ni, if he bows his head and confesses, he can still spare his life, otherwise he will be condemned for rebellion!" ”

Zhao Jia was secretly happy in his heart and took the order.

This Zhao Jia didn't wait for the news overnight, and after he went back, he immediately mobilized troops and horses to surround Zhao Ni's mansion. When Zhao Ni heard that Zhao Jia was coming with his troops and horses, he hurriedly led the generals and soldiers of the palace to prepare to meet the attack. Zhao Ni and Zhao Jia looked at each other, and asked loudly, "Zhao Jia, why did you lead troops to surround my official residence, did you ignore family affection and the law code in the clan?" ”

Zhao Jia sneered, "Uncle, you have destroyed yourself in the matter of your ancestors, why did you come to ask me about the code." Now that you want to seek the position of the suzerain, you have hidden the warriors and hidden swordsmen, and you have been known to the suzerain, and Jinjia has come to take you on the orders of your father! If you bow down and confess your sin, your father will spare your life, otherwise you will regret it too late! ”

When Zhao Ni heard this, he shouted, "You kid, you must be plotting against me!" If I bow my head, I will be poisoned by you. Anyway, in this case, the Zhao family may not be able to keep me! Zhao Jia, for the sake of my uncle and nephew, how about letting me go? ”

Zhao Jia asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Zhao Ni said wistfully, "Since the clan can't keep me, I have no choice but to go to Qindi." ”

Zhao Jia said again, "It's just that I let you go, and my father can't make a difference." ”

Zhao Ni's eyes widened, "If you don't let me wait, you will die left and right, it is better to fight and break the net!" I will die in battle, and I will kill hundreds of your soldiers!" ”

When Zhao Jia heard this, he pondered that what Zhao Ni said was indeed reasonable, if he really didn't let him go, he wouldn't have much advantage after this fight, and at this moment, it was all about morality to gain the upper hand, and Zhao Ni also had warriors from other mansions. Then he nodded and said, "Well, then you will leave, and I will bear it for you at my father's place." You just can't leave like this, you need to swear! ”

Zhao Ni looked at Zhao Evil and Zhao Hu on the left and right, sighed, and swore in public. As soon as this oath is made, there will be no Zhongyang Jun in this Zhao land in the future.

Subsequently, Zhao Ni took his own clan and defected to the Qin State under the care of Zhao Jia.

This Zhao Ni was deported, even if there are still many people who have anything to do with it, but it will not affect the overall situation. Zhao Jia is so bloodless to eliminate a political enemy, he is proud. The choice of the next sect master is almost none other than himself, and as for Zhao Huan, he is probably not his opponent, so he is not worried.
