In the evening of the same day, Meng Zhong followed Zhao Xiangfeiyi to the latter's house.

In fact, before this, Meng Zhong had also been invited to Feiyi's mansion for a banquet, but at that time, there were other courtiers of the Zhao State or celebrities from Handan present, and the number of people was not much, and there were no less, about ten or twenty people each time.

Although those people also tried to win over Meng Zhong, Meng Zhong always felt out of place with these people, so after going twice, Meng Zhong simply refused.

However, today, Feiyi is feasting Meng Zhong alone.

Said to be a banquet, in fact, it can only be regarded as a small gathering, the two sit opposite each other, make a few ordinary dishes, burn a pot of wine with the fire, and talk while drinking - just like when they were in Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's mansion.

Compared to a banquet with many guests, Meng Zhong actually prefers a party with fewer people, especially not the presence of some guys who can't beat the eight poles.

The situation in Zhao Xiangfeiyi's mansion is similar to that of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, Feiyi's sons and grandsons all live in the fiefdom "Feiyi", that is, to the south of the military camp belonging to the Xinwei Army, which is a fiefdom with few people and no prosperity, but it is very quiet.

When he came to Feiyi's mansion this time, Meng Zhong saw Feiyi's wife, an old but very kind old woman, who is also said to be a native of Zhao, although her hair is now gray, but from the contours of her face, Meng Zhong is still willing to believe that this old woman must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

The old woman made some dishes herself, some side dishes that even Meng Zhong felt familiar with, such as stewed bean dishes, bean soup, and so on.

According to Fei Yi's explanation, when he was not a career back then, his family was also very poor, and he ate some beans, or dried fish, dried meat, etc., which he felt very tired at the time, but now he is in a high position, and he is used to the big fish and meat at every banquet for guests, but he misses the small dishes at home a little.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong was a little emotional, because he thought of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao was also a powerful courtier of Zhao State, but his favorite wine was still his own home-brewed wine, and called it "the most mellow taste" - and when Meng Zhong drank it, it was actually similar to other wines.

If you want to come to Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, the taste is not all the taste of wine.

When serving food and drinks to Fei Yi and Meng Zhong, the old woman introduced Meng Zhong to Meng Zhong that the ingredients for these dishes came from her own family: the dishes were grown by Fei Yi and her own, and the meat was also from the poultry she raised in the house.

In the end, Fei Yi was a little impatient, and urged the old woman: "I have something important to talk about with this kid, what are you talking about here?" ”

The old woman was not angry, but looked at her husband with disgust, and then left after instructing Meng Zhong to eat more wine.

However, after the old woman left, Fei Yi repeated the words she had just said, or had not had time to say, in short, to tell Meng Zhong that the ingredients of these dishes were all homemade.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Fat Xiang, your relationship with Mrs. Zun is really good......"

Fei Yi was stunned, and then he himself stroked his beard and laughed.

Soon, the wine pot on the stove came out with some aroma of wine, seeing that Fei Yi had signs of pouring wine himself, Meng Zhong sat up first, poured a bowl for Fei Yi and himself, and saw that Fei Yi nodded secretly, and the color of appreciation in his eyes was even stronger.

After taking a sip of wine, Meng Zhong asked Fei Yidao: "Fat Xiang, Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui, have they been waiting for an opportunity to regain power?" ”

Fei Yi also took a sip of wine, wiped the wine on his beard with his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "How much does the little brother know about Master Zhao's Hufu riding and shooting system?" ”

"All I know is that it is to imitate the costumes of the Hu people......"

"And the establishment." Fei Yi said in a deep voice: "The national system of my Zhao State, many of which are inherited from the Jin State, and the army of the Jin State was the clan system at the earliest, which is why there are "Six Qing Secretaries of the Jin State", that is, the six Qing Doctor families with the largest power in the Jin State, but in fact it is not limited to the six families...... In the past, the monarch of the Jin State mainly sent troops to attack wherever he wanted, and let these Qing doctors lead the clan soldiers to go out, and after winning the battle, the Jin monarch also rewarded these Qing Dafu families, and in the long run, it led to the power of the Qing Dafu family becoming more and more huge, and the office was weakening day by day...... Therefore, there will be three families divided into Jin, Wei, Han, and Zhao defeated the Zhi family, expelled the Jin State Office, and met Zhou Tianzi to become a prince. ”

"......" Meng Zhong nodded.

"In this regard, the former state minister of Wei "Li Kui" tried to get rid of this situation, he compiled a legal code, advocating the abolition of the hereditary family of the Qing doctor, advocating 'food and hard work and meritorious', calling those who eat without merit 'prostitutes', advocating 'people from all over the world since seizing the prostitution of the people'......"

"I see."

Meng Zhong suddenly realized.

He had talked to Le Yi about this earlier, and both of them knew that the foundation of Wei Wushu's strength was not all Wu Qi, but the treatment given to Wei Wushu by the Wei State, such as rewarding fields, houses, exemption from taxes, and so on.

Since Wei Wenhou, more than 100 years have passed, and Wei has at least successively trained 500,000 or 600,000 Wei warriors.

Now listening to Feiyi's words, Meng Zhong suddenly realized that when Li Kui, the former minister of Wei, implemented reforms, he had already recovered the titles and lands of many useless Qing Dafu families, so that the Wei royal family had a part of the abundant land to reward Wei Wushu.

"But I'm ...... Zhao Guo"

As he said this, Fei Yi shook his head.

It turned out that unlike the Wei State after Li Kui's reform, the Zhao State still continued the system of the Jin State, which led to the expansion of the rights of the Qing family, and it was difficult for the Zhao royal family to effectively restrain the former.

What's more, with the growing strength of the Qing family, almost every time the royal power changes, a civil strife breaks out in Zhao.

For example, Zhao Jinghou, the great-grandfather of Lord Zhao's father, and his cousin "Zhao Chao (or Zhao Shuo)" rebelled.

and then to Zhao's grandfather's grandfather "Zhao Chenghou", and his brother "Gongzi Zhao Sheng" competed for the throne and launched a rebellion.

When Zhao's father's father "Zhao Suhou" succeeded to the throne, Zhao Suhou's "Gongzi Zhao Yan" and "Gongzi Zhao Fan" rebelled and rebelled before and after.

Obviously, Zhao Jinghou, Zhao Chenghou, and Zhao Suhou were all new monarchs who succeeded to the throne justifiably, and they also received the support of a large part of the people and defeated the rebels, but why did there still be people in Zhao who rebelled?

In the end, this is actually a confrontation between the new nobles of Zhao and the old nobles - the old nobles are not willing to lose their land and power, and try to prevent their families from being purged by the new regime by supporting the rebellion of the new monarch's brothers.

And this is the result of the imperfection of the country's legal system - the Qing family wants to be hereditary in power, while the Zhao royal family wants to centralize power, in this case, of course, the two are in conflict.

Only the generation of Zhao's father's father, the situation is a bit special, because Zhao Suhou is too strong, which led to the five kingdoms of Wei, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan uniting in an attempt to carve up Zhao.

Therefore, there was no rebellion among the children of the Zhao family in the generation of Lord Zhao's father, because the Zhao royal family had compromised with the old aristocratic forces.

This point can be fully proved when Master Zhao advocated the reform of "Hufu Cavalry and Shooting".

The reform of Hufu cavalry and archery began in the first month of the nineteenth year of Zhao Wangyong, that is to say, at that time, Zhao's father succeeded to the throne of Zhao for a full nineteen years, but when Zhao's father decided to implement the Hufu cavalry reform, he was still strongly opposed by the courtiers led by Zhao Cheng, Zhao Wen, Zhao Jun, Zhao Zao and other Zhao clan nobles such as Anpingjun, and almost let Zhao's father give up this reform.

"At that time, I objected, wasn't it because the Chinese people resisted to wear Hufu instead?"

Meng Zhong asked puzzled.

Hearing this, Fei Yi said with a smile: "Then after Master Zhao persuaded Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, why did the Hufu cavalry and archery reform be successfully implemented?" ”

"Uh......" Meng Zhong was asked.

Fei Yi is right, Zhao itself is a mixed ethnic country, there are many non-Central Plains ethnic groups in the country, even if some people have objections to Hufu, it is definitely not enough to influence the king.

Taking a step back, if the opposition of the people is really high to such a level, then why was this reform suddenly implemented smoothly after convincing his uncle An Pingjun Zhao Cheng?

To put it bluntly, the resistance to this reform did not come from the people at all, but from the old aristocratic forces such as Zhao Cheng, Zhao Wen, Zhao Jun, Zhao Zao, and Li Dui, who did not want to lose the power in their hands.

"Does the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery have such a big impact?"

Meng Zhong frowned and asked Fei Yidao.

Fei Yi nodded and explained: "The biggest change in Hufu riding and archery is the ...... of war horses."

According to his explanation, Zhao's previous army establishment model was no different from the rest of the Central Plains countries, that is, chariots mixed with foot soldiers, but after the Hufu cavalry system was determined, the chariots were eliminated in large numbers, and the saved war horses were organized into cavalry, and this cavalry was in the hands of Zhao's master.

Oh, the Zhao general "Niu Qian" who is silent on the matter of "one country and two kings", he is the confidant and favorite general of Zhao's father.

As a new class of cavalry on the battlefield, it was firmly grasped by the Zhao lord's father, to be precise, the Zhao royal family, which weakened the old aristocratic family in disguise.

And secondly, there is the source of soldiers.

After the reform of the Hu Fu cavalry and archery in the Zhao State, the relationship between the native Zhao people of the Zhao State and the foreign races such as the Di people, Lou Fan, the Xiongnu, and the Lin Hu was greatly shortened, and a large number of Di people, Lou Fan, Xiongnu and other foreign people went to the Zhao State to join the army, so that the Zhao master father was supported by the foreign soldiers, and the royal power was further strengthened, which also meant that the power of the domestic family of the secretary and doctor was further weakened.

Generally speaking, the reform of "Hufu Cavalry and Archery" advocated by Zhao's master's father did not almost completely solve the old aristocratic forces of "fruitlessness" like Wei's "Li Kui Reform", but it also greatly enhanced the power of the royal family, so that Hufu Lord's father, who needed good words to plead with Anpingjun Zhao Cheng to support the reform before the Hufu Cavalry Shooting, can now face Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others with full confidence.

Faced with this situation, how can the old aristocratic forces such as Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui be at ease?
