Zhao Yong was dealing with government affairs in the palace, and suddenly saw the eunuch Ling Han Zhong walk in, holding a national letter in both hands. Han Zhong said in an uneasy tone: "Your Majesty, this is a document sent by the divination order about celestial phenomena. ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he put down the national letter in his hand, rubbed his tired eyes, and comforted: "Leave these things to them to do." You're not too young, how can you work so hard. ”

Han Zhong went through three dynasties and served Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Suhou, and Zhao Junyong. Han Zhong is old, his sideburns are gray, and his whole body is a little rickety. However, Han Zhong's eyes were bright, and he walked like a young man.

Han Zhong saw Zhao Jun stretching out his hand, bowed forward and handed over the national letter, took two steps back, and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the minister's body. ”

Zhao Yong took the letter of state, put it on the table, and did not rush to read the content of the letter.

Zhao Yong looked at the old man in front of him with a soft gaze, and quipped: "People who don't know still think that the widow is bullying the old man." Han Zhong! Do you want to be infamous by the widow? ”

Han Zhong said with a smile: "It is an honor for a minister to serve the king. ”

Zhao Yong saw that he was doing his best, working hard, and praised: "The widow has succeeded to the throne for twenty-five years, thanks to you." Only the widow can be busy with foreign affairs and do not have to worry about the affairs of the court. All these years, you have worked hard. ”

When Han Zhong heard this, a warmth surged in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "How can a minister be bitter if he receives the kindness of the ancestor and the king." ”

"Sit down!" Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "There are only widows and you here, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"Thank you." Han Zhong found the closest position to the monarch and sat down.

"Since the widow succeeded to the throne, how could he have believed in ghosts and gods." Zhao Yong glanced at the national letter on the desk, and reached out to pick up the national letter, "Yin Gao sent it overnight, it must be a vision from heaven." That's it! It's okay to be a widow, so it's okay to take a look. ”

Zhao Jun read the national letter, his breath was short, his expression was getting worse and worse, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

This strange atmosphere in the main hall is really frightening.

Han Zhong looked very bad when he saw that Jun Shang read the national letter.

Junshang's expression at this moment is like Zhao Suhou succeeding to the throne and seizing the land to quell the rebellion. Although Han Zhong didn't know what the content of the letter was, he had already guessed the content of the letter, which was not trivial. Han Zhong has gone through three dynasties, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings.

Zhao Yong put down the national letter, let out a long breath, and asked, "Han Zhong, what do you think of the celestial phenomena and ghosts and gods." ”

Han Zhong didn't know why Zhao Jun had this question, and replied: "The minister doesn't understand celestial phenomena, but he knows how to worship ghosts and gods." ”

"When Shang Tianzi was the son, I was a family with a prominent identity. King Wu fell, and my people surnamed Ying became slaves and were forced to migrate eastward. Wu Geng returned to the country and was suppressed by Zhou Tianzi, and my family surnamed Ying suffered another catastrophe. If there is a change in the world, there will be a vision. Zhao Yong said again: "But I have a family surname, worship ghosts and gods, and don't believe in the mandate of heaven." If it weren't for the ancestors, they knew their fate, but they didn't accept it, and dared to change their lives against the sky. The surname Ying, how can there be today. ”

"Your Majesty has a point." Han Zhong hurriedly said: "The people surnamed Ying have encountered disasters repeatedly, but the people surnamed Ying can fight well and dare to change their lives against the sky, so they can turn danger into safety from the disaster." ”

Zhao Yong's eyes were gloomy and he said: "The Duke of Jin slaughtered the tribe surnamed Ying, and only one lone remained. The tribe surnamed Ying suffered a catastrophe, and I thought that the man surnamed Ying would go into decline. The ancestors Zhao Wu and Zhao Ying, the two ancestors and grandchildren, once again revived the tribe surnamed Ying, and dominated the situation for half a century. The three families of Zhi, Han, and Wei jointly attacked me and fought with us in Jinyang. If it weren't for the protection of the gods, the ancestors in the heavens, and the tribe surnamed Ying, how could there be today. ”

Han Zhong said: "As the rhino head said in order to promote the harmony of the Three Jin Dynasty, it is difficult to prosper the country. ”

When Zhao Yong heard these familiar eight words, in the depths of his mind, he remembered the man who was angry and fearful, and the world rested. What a pity! The man who was vertical, horizontal, and commanding was now nowhere to be found.

Zhao Yong glanced at it again, and the national letter placed in front of him was a little sad in tone, "Do you know what the national letter says." ”

Han Zhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's better for the minister not to know the content of the national letter." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yong trusted him and did not hide him, "The sky is killing, and the stars are moving." The celestial phenomena are overturned, the glow is confused, and the Beidou is urging hiding. Do you know what these 20 words mean? ”

Han Zhong said ashamedly: "Minister, I don't know." ”

Zhao Yong's eyes showed a little desolation, "This is a sign of chaos in the world." ”

Han Zhong hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is here, how can the world be in chaos." ”

"In the later years of Duke Qi Heng, traitorous ministers made trouble, and there was a vision in the sky." Zhao Yong said with a sympathetic expression: "Qi Heng Gongzun Wang Zhengyi, the princes of Jiuhe, how heroic is the world. Who knew that the overlord of the first generation was imprisoned by the rebellious ministers in his later years, and his children killed each other. The corpse of Qi Henggong was shelved in the Shou Palace for 67 days, and no one buried the maggots, and his fate was really pitiful. ”

Han Zhong saw that the monarch mentioned the bleak scene of Qi Henggong's later years, it was not today's celestial phenomenon, and the same was true. The more Han Zhong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he kept swallowing saliva to calm his chaotic state of mind.

Zhao Yong said again: "Duke Qi Heng has become the laughing stock of the princes of the world, and now that it is the turn of the widow, how can he sit idly by." How should the widow avoid the disaster and avoid this calamity? ”

Han Zhong asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to avoid disasters and disasters?" ”

Zhao Yong was silent for a long time, and said: "Zen position to avoid trouble." ”

"The monarch is in the prime of life, and his youth is in his prime, how can he Zen to avoid trouble." Han Zhong was shocked and said: "The princes of the world, how can there ever be a Zen concession. The king must have forgotten that King Yan followed the example of the ancients and practiced Zen. As a result, the Yan civil strife was caused, the Qi State attacked the Yan capital, and the Guozuo almost disappeared. Your Majesty, the lesson that Yan Guo has brought us is too profound. ”

"Definitely!" Zhao Yong said: "King Yan's Zen position to the right of the courtiers is a helpless move. The clan surnamed Ji was not satisfied, and there was a catastrophe in the Yan Kingdom. The widow gave the throne to the crown prince, but he was just allowed to succeed to the throne in advance. ”

Han Zhong hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, kings have pursued a lifelong system. This move not only broke the etiquette system, but also became the first person to give the throne to the prince in advance. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting. ”

"The widow is the first person to go to the king and claim the king, and he is also the first person to learn from Beihu and promote Hufu riding and shooting." Zhao Yong's eyes were clear, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, "How about being the first person to break the tenure system and Zen in advance." Even if the people of the world do not understand the widow, the behavior of the widow makes the world laugh. ”

"The king is in the prime of his youth, how can he do ridiculous things." Han Zhong was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, you must not! ”

Zhao Yong took a breath and said: "The world is unpredictable, and people have good and bad luck. ”

When Han Zhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond.

Zhao Yong said solemnly: "Father, mother, queen, and lady are not young and left the widow." The widow is out all the year round, if there is an accident. How should the country of Zhao be. ”

Han Zhong said: "The gentleman's body is safe and the blessings are profound, how can there be the word accident?" ”

"King Wu of Qin attacked Korea, pulled Yiyang, passed through Sanchuan, and looked at Jiuding, what was the result. King Wu of Qin, a young man who was talented and talented, died suddenly, leading to the rebellion of the princes. The Qin State was greatly injured, so we had a chance to take advantage of it. The widow does not want to see his heirs kill each other for the throne. This led to the weakening of the country and the interference of the princes in the affairs of the country. ”

Han Zhong knew very well that the death of the queen Meng Yao was a great blow to the king. But he never thought that the king would do such a ridiculous act. The monarch is at the peak of his youth, and he gave the throne to the prince in advance, which is unprecedented! This move is not only absurd, but also makes the princes laugh.

At this time, Gongzi Cheng, Fei Yi, Tian Buli, Li Dui, Lou Xuan, Sima Wangzu and other meritorious ministers came to the palace.

Zhao Yong saw that several ministers came to the palace by appointment, and he also saved time to find them, and asked bluntly: "Today, there is a vision in the sky, and the country will be in chaos." In order to avoid the disaster, the widow decided to Zen to avoid the disaster. ”

When everyone heard this, "Look at me, I look at you," they objected in unison.

Zhao Jun was in the prime of his youth, how could he do what his predecessors had not done, and do the act of Zen in advance. In order to avoid trouble, Zhao Jun's absurd and ridiculous move spread out, wouldn't it make the princes of the world laugh. Everyone also felt a headache, and their monarch had not been relieved for a moment since he succeeded to the throne.

Fei Yi looked at Junshang's expression and said in his heart: "After Mrs. Jun's death, Junshang's whole state of mind has changed slightly. Now the king has become a little unknown to him. ”

Zhao Yong looked at everyone's panicked expressions and said lightly: "You don't have to panic." The widow is just a Zen position in advance. ”

Gongzicheng asked: "The king is in advance of the throne, what about the national politics of Zhao State." ”

Tian Buli also said: "Hu Jiang has just been stabilized, and the king's move to take the throne will also exacerbate Hu Jiang's turmoil." ”

Li Dui also said: "The king is on the throne, and the hearts of the people of Zhao are unstable. How do we deal with the complex situation in the Central Plains and deal with the princes? ”

Fei Yi said sharply: "Please take back your life and focus on the overall situation." Please think twice. ”

Everyone also said in unison: "Please think twice." ”

Zhao Yong saw that all the ministers did not understand the true intentions of his Zen position, and he was not angry in his heart. That's right, after thousands of years in China, I have never heard of the king and gave the throne to the prince in advance. But Zhao Jun still insisted on abdicating early.

Zhao Yongxin said: "If the Duke of Qi Heng can give the throne to the prince in advance, he can not only keep the wisdom of 'respecting the king, the princes of Jiuhe, and the world'." In his later years, how could Qi Henggong end up in a miserable situation. ”

Fei Yi saw that Zhao Jun did not answer, and said: "Under the governance of the king, Zhao Guo has gone from weak to strong. If you are not at fault, how can you be in a Zen position. ”

Tian Buli also said: "We meddled in the internal affairs of Yan and Qin; several times in Zhongshan, crossed the river to the west and recovered the counties in the northwest of the river; Hit Sanhu and expand Hujiang. The king has established a foundation of merit and immortality. How can it be changed because of a vision in heaven? ”

Li Dui also said: "The fact that Zhao Guo can have today is the work of the king. Your Majesty, how can you take the initiative to meditate because of the vision. ”

Gongzi Cheng also said: "Zhao Guo has changed its master, and people's hearts are not aligned. The good things we have achieved have been in vain. ”

Sima Wangzu didn't say a word on the side, because he knew Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun is a man who is the king and the hegemon of all the princes in the world, but he is 'willing to fall' to become the king; He is a man who doesn't care about the eyes of the world, dares to break the etiquette system, and promotes Hufu riding and shooting. There is something he doesn't dare to think or do.

What Sima Wang has to do is that no matter what decision Zhao Jun makes, he will support it unconditionally.

Zhao Yong's eyes were quiet, looking at everyone, and he said in a firm tone: "There are four reasons why the widow is in advance of the Zen position. First, the heavens warn the few people with the difference in the heavens. The widow must not ignore it. Heaven told the widow that there would be a big mess in Zhao Kingdom. The widow must not be left unguarded. Since it is the widow who has a loss of virtue, let the widow bear it alone. ”

"Second, the Zhao clan is divided into Jin with Han and Wei, with the largest territory and the strongest national strength. Why is it that in just a few decades, our national strength is not comparable to that of Wei. Wei also brought difficulties to our country, and Zhao's wisdom was almost destroyed. Zhao Yong saw that everyone was silent, and said gently: "First, it was Wei Wenhou who set off a wind of reform and law change in the Wei State, and tempered a Wei warrior who was a prince of the princes; Second, the Zhao family fell into infighting and wasted national strength. If you have a widow who meditates in advance, you can avoid this catastrophe. ”

Everyone also understands that since the founding of the Zhao family, internal friction has become a trend to damage the national strength. This is also the Zhao family, who wants to put an end to it, but it is getting more and more intense. Zhao Jun took the throne in advance, which can not only establish the majesty and status of the new monarch, but also escort the new monarch. Everyone thought about it and thought that this was a good way to solve the Zhao family's infighting. However, everyone's hearts are also full of doubts, Zhao Jun Zen in advance can really put an end to the phenomenon of internal friction.

"Third, the widow can concentrate on the military and political offensive and expand the territory." Zhao Yong exhaled deeply, and his tone was sad, "Even if the widow dies in battle, the regime of Zhao State can survive smoothly." Princes and other countries have no chance to meddle in the internal affairs of our country. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yong said three reasons, Gongzi Cheng didn't speak, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is another reason?" ”

"It is faithful and righteous for a widow to go to the king and claim the king, and swear not to be king for the rest of his life. A widow cannot be king, but the son of a widow can be king. Zhao Yong's tone was clear and passionate, and he had the world in mind, "Zhao Guo should also follow the royal road to fight for the world." ”

Doing the royal road and fighting for the world is the common ideal of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State. When everyone heard the words of the king, they were reasonable, and they did not dissuade the king from taking the throne to avoid trouble.

Although Fei Yi saw that the king said four reasons. But there is a more important reason, which the king did not mention. That is, as a king, the most chilling thing is that the heirs cannibalize each other. Zhao Yong's advance of the Zen throne can also avoid the tragedy of cannibalism.
