"It seems that today, we can only talk about it here."

After a full half of the ring, Meng Zhong took the lead in standing up and arched his hand towards Zhao Wanghe, and at the same time did not forget to add in a slightly mocking and joking tone: "Maybe tomorrow, the king will not invite the ministers to accompany you in this palace again, of course, it is also possible that the ministers will not come again...... The minister retired. ”

"......" The corners of Zhao Wanghe's mouth twitched slightly.

After a few hesitations, he finally called out to Meng Zhong, who was about to turn around and leave: "Wait." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong turned around, blinked and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Does the king have any other orders?" I thought that today's conversation could only end here......"

"......" Zhao Wang He pursed his lips and looked at Meng Zhong, suddenly let out a long breath, and said, "That's just Qing thinks...... Please sit back down. ”

The trick of retreating as advance should still be suitable, and Meng Zhong certainly understood this truth, so he accepted it when he saw it and sat back in his seat.

At this time, I saw Zhao Wanghe staring at Meng Zhong for a few breaths, and said with a little unhappiness: "Qing's radical method is very shoddy......"

"Huh."

Meng Zhong didn't care that his tricks were exposed, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Because the minister is bent on talking to the real king, however, the king always has concerns and refuses to show his true side in front of the minister, so the minister has no choice but to make a decision......"

"A real widow?" Zhao Wanghe's eyes flashed a few different colors.

"yes." Meng Zhong looked at Zhao Wanghe and said in a low voice: "Although the minister has not been in contact with the monarch for a long time, the minister can feel it, and the monarch may not be as ...... as outsiders think."

He didn't say anything, through his contact with Zhao Wanghe, he faintly felt that Zhao Wanghe's city government might not look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all.

Just as when Fang was in the main hall, when Zhao Wang He asked Meng Zhong to sit next to the king's case but was dissuaded by the eunuchs next to him, Meng Zhong actually saw Zhao Wang He frowning imperceptibly, thinking that he was a little unhappy about this, but in the end, Zhao Wang He still restrained himself and led Meng Zhong to this side hall very "smartly", neither scolding the eunuch, but also not really obeying the eunuch.

From this point, Meng Zhong can see that Zhao Wanghe may not be as cowardly and assertive as others think, he actually has his own opinions.

But think about it, how can a national inheritor who has lived in the palace since he was a child really lack scheming and city government like ordinary peers?

"Qing is really a very bold person......" Staring at Meng Zhong, Zhao Wang He slowly spoke: "No wonder there were rumors a few months ago that Qing once threatened Yang Wenjun with a sharp sword on his neck...... At that time, the widow thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, he let out a long breath and asked, "Qing wants to know about the widow and the master's father?" ”

"Yes!" Meng Zhong arched his hand and said, "Because the minister hopes to resolve the conflict between your father and son." …… The minister didn't want to betray Lord Zhao's father, but he didn't want to be an enemy of the king, so he could only find another way......"

"Your devotion to the Lord Father...... No wonder fat is so much praise for you. ”

Zhao Wanghe nodded slightly, and immediately, he closed his eyes, and after a few breaths, he said slowly: "From beginning to end, the favored by the master father is just a widowed mother......

"Huihou?" Meng Zhong asked.

"Hmm." Zhao Wanghe opened his eyes, nodded and said, "Qing said that the widow is not close to Lord Zhao...... Oh, I want to be close to the Lord's father, but how many sons in this world refuse to be close to their biological father? It's just that the master father is not close to me......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Zhong, and seeing the latter's face showing surprise, he smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, and asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it?" ”

Meng Zhong shook his head and explained, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I ...... I think it's incredible. Why isn't Lord Zhao's father close to the king? It stands to reason that Lord Zhao's father favors Empress Hui, and he should also love you. ”

"Probably because the widow has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he is not like the main father......"

As he said this, Zhao Wanghe raised his right hand and looked at it, and a few traces of resentment flashed in his eyes.

It's not a resentment towards Lord Zhao's father, but a resentment against his own body - why he has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he can't be as strong as his brother Gongzi Zhang to please his father.

"From childhood to adulthood, widows also hated widows, why are others healthy, but widows have been weak and sick since childhood?" Zhao Wanghe looked up at Meng Zhong and said in a tone of envy: "How much the widow hopes that he can have a healthy and strong physique like his brother (Gongzi Zhang)...... I, Zhao Guo, have always been martial, Zhao Suhou is martial, the master father is martial, and the son Zhang is martial, is it the only widow who is not martial? It just can't be done...... Gongzi Zhang can lift a sword to split stones, and the widow is out of breath when he swings the sword twice casually, dizzy, chest tightness and hard to breathe, what kind of martial arts does this make the widow still martial arts? ”

Listening to Zhao Wanghe complaining, Meng Zhong listened silently.

He felt that the new monarch opposite him may have accumulated a lot of resentment, but these resentments have been buried in his heart.

"Master Father...... In fact, I have always disliked widows, because widows are not like him. Fei Xiang often mentioned to the widow, mentioning the widow's grandfather Zhao Suhou, who fought in various countries all his life and never showed weakness to others, and also mentioned the master's father, saying that the master's father succeeded to the throne at the age of fifteen, and thwarted the conspiracy of Wei, Qi, Qin, Yan, and Chu to try to carve up my Zhao State......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said in a low tone: "The throne of the widow was obtained for me by my mother, in this world, the deceased mother is the best person for the widow, and I do not allow anyone to speak ill of her, even if she did do something bad......"

He looked at Meng Zhong with a warning look.

However, Meng Zhong was not disgusted by this, but nodded and said: "Mother is indeed selfless dedication to her children, Chen's mother, she is not as noble as Empress Hui, but after the death of her father, my mother raised my brothers with hard work, hard work in farming, Chen often wanted to help his mother participate in farming when he was young, but she always refused to ...... because the minister was too young."

Listening to Meng Zhong's words, Zhao Wanghe's eyes gradually became much gentler.

Because yesterday he heard Meng Zhong tell about the former's family, of course, he also knew that since Meng Zhong's father Meng Qu passed away, it was his mother Ge Shihan who worked hard to raise Meng Bo and Meng Zhong brothers, and at that time Zhao Wang He felt that it was a respectable mother.

Chatting and chatting, the two expected the topic of "the contradiction between Zhao Wanghe and Zhao's father", Zhao Wanghe shook his head and said: "The widow has no resentment towards the master's father, although the master's father only favors my mother, but he has never treated the widow badly, not to mention that the master's father made the widow the prince, and then passed on to the widow, and the widow is only grateful to the master......

"Is it just gratitude, but not closeness?" Meng Zhong interjected and asked.

Zhao Wanghe glanced at Meng Zhong, and after being silent for a while, he said, "It's the master father who doesn't want to be close to me." ”

Meng Zhong thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Although this is just one side of Zhao Wanghe's words, Meng Zhong has also stayed in Zhao for more than half a year, and he has seen what happened when Zhao's father came into contact with Zhao Wanghe many times, he must admit that Zhao Wanghe has indeed achieved the respect that he should have for his father as a son, and the problem is on Zhao's father's side - after the death of Empress Hui, Zhao's father regretted passing the throne to his second son Zhao He, who was not like him, and hoped that the throne would be passed on to Gongzizhang, who was more like himself, which was one of them.

Second, Master Zhao, who is still in the prime of life at the moment, regrets passing on the throne so early.

Just those two reasons.

But even so, Meng Zhong still felt that the contradiction between Master Zhao and Zhao Wanghe could actually be resolved, but the process was not so easy.

"Have you ever thought about resolving the conflict with Master Zhao?" Meng Zhong thought for a moment and asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Wanghe chuckled and asked, "Qing thinks the widow hasn't tried?" ”

"What the minister means is that the king has a good talk with Lord Zhao's father, and talk about it from the bottom of his heart." Speaking of this, Meng Zhong paused, and finally decided to tell Zhao Wang He some of the reasons he guessed: "Your Excellency, this is just the minister's speculation, but the monarch can be used as a reference: the minister thinks that the contradiction between Master Zhao and you now is about these two points. First, when Lord Zhao passed the throne to you, it was because of Empress Hui's plea, and on the other hand, it was also to be able to concentrate on dealing with Zhongshan and Qi...... It's just that Lord Zhao didn't expect that when he passed the throne to you, he gradually lost power. You must know that Zhao's father succeeded to the throne when Zhao was in the most critical situation, and thwarted the conspiracy of the countries, and after that, he united the Song State, the Yan State, and even the Qin State, so that the Zhao State developed to the point where it is today, and the minister believes that without the Zhao Master's father, there would be no Zhao State today. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Wanghe nodded.

He also admits this.

“…… However, such a male lord who led the Zhao State to this day, gradually lost his power in the prime of life, out of the human nature of the world, the courtiers of the Zhao State gradually surrendered to the king's side, and the king put himself in the shoes of the king, if you are the father of the Zhao lord, will you have a grudge against this? ”

"Hmm......" Zhao Wanghe nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong said again: "But this point is actually not difficult to resolve. The ancients did what they liked, since Master Zhao wanted to be supported, you can satisfy him from this aspect. …… For example, the seat at the palace banquet, now you are on an equal footing with Master Zhao, but the minister suggested that you might as well put Master Zhao in a more honorable position, such as making Master Zhao's case bigger and more luxurious. For another example, even if Lord Zhao's father has moved to Xindu, the king can still leave the largest palace in the Handan palace to Lord Zhao's father. The minister heard that the monarch of Qi had built a palace for his father at the expense of building a palace and respecting his biological father, which was also filial piety, who would blame anything for this? After all, even the king of a country has a father! All in all, you just need to make people feel that Master Zhao is more noble than you, and not just the title of 'Lord Father', and in the long run, Master Zhao will be satisfied. ”

"Qing ...... this suggestion"

A few hints of discoloration flashed in Zhao Wanghe's eyes, because Meng Zhong's suggestion had really not been proposed to him before.

"But what about the second point?" He asked Meng Zhongdao.

The so-called second point, that is, "Master Zhao's father hopes that his character is more like his son-in-law Zhang to inherit the throne", which is also the most difficult point in the contradiction between father and son.

Meng Zhong thought for a moment and replied, "There are two solutions to this second point. The best strategy is to reconcile with Gongzi Zhang, and secondly, to persuade Lord Zhao's father to ......"

“……”

Zhao Wang He frowned when he heard this, after all, these two solutions were not easy to do.

"It's ...... It's not easy. He said with a frown.

"It's man-made." Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "I tried, at least there is a glimmer of possibility; If you don't try, you may not even have a silver line. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wanghe nodded slightly.

Indeed, it is very difficult to convince Master Zhao!

And convincing Gongzi Zhang, it's even harder!

But if he can really reconcile the contradictions within his Zhao royal family, then he Zhao State does have the opportunity to change the law and reform.

It is, indeed, worth trying.
