Zhao Jia suddenly returned to Handan, which caught Zhao Yan off guard.

As early as the beginning of the succession, Zhao Yan wanted to summon Zhao Jia back to Handan, but was postponed by the other party on the grounds of serious illness.

At first, Zhao Yan was still a little worried about Zhao Jia's body, after all, the other party was his own son, or a single seedling.

But after a long time, Zhao Yan also found that Zhao Jia was obviously pretending to be sick, and he was always guarding himself in his heart, so he didn't want to return to Handan.

Zhao Yan was annoyed, but he gradually calmed down.

Although he was afraid that Zhao Jia would threaten his position, he also knew that he could not completely tear his face with Zhao Jia, otherwise it would be harmful and unprofitable for Zhao Guo.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia was very low-key during this time, not only sent people back to Handan to congratulate Zhao Yan on his ascension to the throne, even if Zhao Yan forced Lian Po to Wei, Zhao Jia never made any objections.

Zhao Jia's attitude also made Zhao Yan quite satisfied.

Without the power of the government and the opposition, Lian Po is in a high position in Handan, and it is impossible to threaten Zhao Yan's throne just by virtue of the land of Shenqi occupied by Zhao Jia.

It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Yan deliberately ignored Zhao Jia and allowed him to occupy the land of Shenqi.

Zhao Yan never thought that Zhao Jia would return at this time, nor did he expect that the other party would have the courage to return to Handan.

"Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to go back to the land of Shenqi?"

Zhao Yan frowned and thought, but said in his mouth: "Summoning Gongzi to come to the audience!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan sorted out the crown on his head, sat on the throne that only King Zhao could sit on, and waited quietly.

"Son, meet my father!"

Zhao Jia, under the leadership of Zhao Gan, slowly walked into the house, and saw Zhao Yan sitting on a high seat with a dignified face, and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"Will your condition improve?"

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Jia, who had grown up, and wanted to show off his majesty, but when he thought that the other party was his only son, he still sighed slightly after all.

When Zhao Jia heard this, his serious face also had a little soft color.

He knew that Zhao Yan asked like this to ease the deadlocked relationship between father and son for many years, and to release goodwill.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Zhao Yan lowered his head and said: "The child's body is fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Zhao Yan bowed his head, and then asked loudly: "Didn't you already send someone to congratulate the widow, why did you come to Handan in person, and the itinerary was so secret." ”

Zhao Jia raised his head, stared at Zhao Yan with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "For Zhao Guo'er!" ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Jia was doing when he returned to Handan.

"Say it!"

Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Gan, who was standing with a sword in the room, and Lu Yong, the eunuch who was waiting quietly next to him, and took a deep breath.

"Only my father and brother Zhao can know about this matter!"

Zhao Yan frowned, and his heart was full of suspicions, but he remembered what Zhao Jia had done over the years, no matter what means were used, the ending was beneficial to Zhao Guoda, and he immediately sighed slightly.

Since Zhao Qian's death, Zhao Yan has been grieving, but also deeply reflecting on what he had done.

Many times, Zhao Yan even secretly regretted that if he had been able to treat Zhao Jia better before, the father-son relationship would not have become like this, and Zhao Jia would also become his biggest help.

In fact, what Zhao Jia has done over the years, although it threatens Zhao Yan's position, it also makes Zhao Yan recognize his son's ability.

Zhao Yan knew that Zhao Jia's existence would be beneficial to Zhao Guo.

It was for this reason that after forcing Lian Po to Wei and cutting off the possibility of Zhao Jia threatening his throne, Zhao Yan would acquiesce to Zhao Jia's seizure of Shenqi.

At first, Zhao Yan summoned Zhao Jia to return to Handan, although he wanted to seize the land of Shenqi, but he also thought about making him the prince and becoming his right-hand man.

Now that Zhao Jia has taken a big risk to return to Handan, there is such a confidential matter that needs to be reported, which must not be a trivial matter.

"Stand down!"

Zhao Yan waved his hand, and after Lu Yong bowed his head and saluted, he slowly withdrew from the door.

Zhao Yan also walked to the door and shouted to the soldiers outside the door: "All of them are ten zhang away from here, and no one is allowed to approach the house until they get an order!" ”

The crowd agreed.

In this way, only Zhao Yan, Zhao Jia, and Zhao Yan were left in the house.

Zhao Yan pressed his sword to Zhao Yan's side, and looked at the defenseless Zhao Jia with a little vigilance.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia didn't care, took out a stack of letters from his arms, and then raised his hands in front of him, and said, "Father, it's better to read these letters first." ”

Zhao Yan frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "What is the content of the letter?" ”

Zhao Jia still lowered his head and said, "Father will know at a glance!" ”

Zhao Yan motioned for Zhao Yan to take the letter, and looked at the letter with some curiosity, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

In the end, he shouted at Zhao Jia: "You know what a crime it is to frame the important ministers of the court!" ”

Zhao Jia raised his head and said: "The words on the letter are true, whether the matter is true or false, as long as my father wants to track it down, it is not difficult to find out the truth." ”

"What's more, even if you give your sons a bold son, you don't dare to frame so many important ministers in the court."

"Today's Zhao State, although there is a sign of Zhongxing, but Qin is dead, my heart is not dead, the Manchu Dynasty ministers seem to be the country and the king, but there are not a few people who have ghosts in their hearts."

"Has my father discovered that these ministers who accepted bribes from the Qin State and colluded with the Qin State are all advocates of peace with the Qin State?"

Zhao Yan frowned, thinking back to the past of those people mentioned in the letter, and really found that they had many intentions to defend the Qin State, and strongly advocated an alliance with the Qin State.

"Click!"

Zhao Yan pinched the letter with his right hand, crumpled the originally smooth letter together, and his face became a little hideous and distorted.

"The vain widow trusts Han Cang so much, that guy actually accepted so many bribes from the Qin State, it's damn it!"

Guo Kai and Han Cang were the first to take refuge in Zhao Yan, when Zhao Yan had just become the crown prince, and the two of them had also tried their best to defend Zhao Yan over the years, so Zhao Yan trusted the two very much.

If there is no appearance of Zhao Jia, Guo Kai will not only not die, but will also become the minister of Zhao after Zhao Yan inherits the throne.

Because of Zhao Jia, Guo Kai was killed, and Zhao Yan poured his favor and trust into Han Cang.

Although he had known that Han Cang was greedy for money, he didn't care about it, thinking that as long as Han Cang was loyal to him, some shortcomings would not be shortcomings, but would be advantages.

Because the king does not like too perfect courtiers, but feels that flawed and weak courtiers are easy to control.

This is also the reason why even some saintly monarchs in the past dynasties will use villains.

Out of trust in Han Cang, Zhao Yan even prepared to appoint Han Cang as the Minister of State soon, so that he could share rights and wealth with himself.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that his trust and respect would be betrayal and disloyalty.

"Zhao Gan, you quickly sent people to arrest these people, if it is found that they are really colluding with the Qin State, you will not be spared!"

For Zhao Jia's intelligence ability, Zhao Yan still trusts him very much.

When he saw the long list of letters, he felt a great deal of fear.

He never thought that there were so many people in the court of Zhao State who were not clear with the Qin State, so he became angry and wanted to cleanse the court.

Although Zhao Yan sometimes seems to be more dim, he also knows the big right and wrong, and knows that Zhao Guo's country is his foundation.

Now that the roots are half rotten, how can Zhao Yan tolerate it?

"Father, never!"

However, at this moment, Zhao Jia spoke out to stop him.

Zhao Yan frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Jia lowered his head and said: "As the saying goes: when the water is clear, there are no fish." Although these people colluded with the Qin State and received a lot of bribes from the Qin State, the people who really wanted to betray the Zhao State were only partial, and their father had just inherited the throne, so they still needed these people to help manage the Zhao State. ”

"After a long time of secret investigation, the sons found out the details of these people, if the father and the king catch them all, it will not only cause turmoil in the court, but also difficult to ensure that the newly promoted people will not be bought and corrupted by the Qin State."

"According to the opinion of the sons, the father can know the details of these people in his heart, and he can pretend not to know on the surface."

"Father, so and so."

Zhao Jia kept telling the opinions he had thought of a long time ago, and Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan were all eyes flashing.

"Wouldn't this not only keep the interests of Zhao State from being infringed upon, but also convey misinformation to Qin State through the mouths of these people?"

Zhao Yan took a deep look at his son, but he felt speechless.

At the same time, his jealousy of Zhao Jia deepened more and more.

Zhao Jia seemed to see what Zhao Yan was thinking, and said with his head held high: "Whether it is the father or the son, they all hope that the Zhao State can become strong, if the father feels that the son and the son are self-reliant, threatening the interests of the Zhao State, the son is willing to offer the land of Shenqi with both hands." ”

"Erchen wishes that Zhao Guo will be rich and strong, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"

"As long as the Zhao Kingdom can be strong, whether the father or the rest of the clan inherits the throne, the sons and daughters don't care!"

After speaking, Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Yan calmly, and the father and son looked at each other like this for the first time.
