At this time, Han Zhong came to report, "Your Majesty, Feiyi, Li Dui, Pang Wu and Gongsun Pu and other ministers are waiting outside the palace. Whether you see it or not. ”

Zhao Yong, turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Da Ling, you said that the widow will see it, or will you not see it." ”

Han Zhong, his eyes rolled quickly, figuring out the meaning of the king's words, and bowed his head and said, "I don't understand the king's thoughts. ”

"Daling, do you really not understand, or pretend not to understand."

Han Zhong was silent, he really couldn't guess the meaning of the king's words. Zhao Yong, afraid that this old man would think far ahead and misunderstand the original meaning, looked at him with an innocent face, and said, "The ministers are here, widow, can you not see them?" Commander, you go and spread the word, and the widow will follow. ”

Han Zhong was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, the king meant to blame him for not blocking the minister, and arched his hand: "No." ”

Mu Jian quietly walked behind Zhao Jun, scratched his head and said, "The life of the king is really bitter." As soon as Lord Xiangbang left, another group of courtiers came. Alas, you have another headache. ”

Zhao Yong smiled bitterly: "Now I know that the position of the widow is uncomfortable!" ”

When Sima Wangzu heard this, he said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of a country, you don't work hard, who works hard!" ”

Zhao Yong seems to feel that he has heard this sentence somewhere. After thinking for a while, he stroked his forehead and said, "Wangzu, when you speak, how can you talk to the doctor." ”

Sima Wangzu said with a smile: "What Doctor Shang said is reasonable. Your Majesty, hard work is what it should be. ”

"Yes, the widow should work hard. You..."Zhao Yong, pointing to Mu Jian, who was watching the excitement, and said with a headache: "And you, you have to suffer with the widow." Widows, no matter how bitter and tired you are, you are no better. ”

Seeing that he was innocently implicated, Mu Jian lowered his face and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything." ”

"Hmph." Zhao Yong would not let him go because of the other party's aggrieved eyes, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Mu Jian, do you think you still have a choice?" ”

Mu Jian looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh my God! What did I do in my last life? ”

Sima Wangzu thought slightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers are here to discuss state affairs, so I won't go to participate." ”

Mu Jian hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, you are going to discuss state affairs, and I and the Wang clan will not join in the fun." ”

"Leave it to the widow less. What you can't hear, the words of the ministers? Zhao Yong, seeing that they sang and harmonized, retreated as advance, and said, "Let's go!" What are you doing here, let's go and meet the minister together! There are some things that not only people need to see, hear, and think with their hearts. You, too. Do you understand? ”

When Sima Wangzu saw that the king said so, he couldn't say that he couldn't say no. I had no choice but to follow the king and go together.

Fei Yi, Li Dui, Pang Wu and Gongsun Pu saw the arrival of the king, and hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Everyone, please be seated." Zhao Yong, sitting on the main seat, beckoned, and said to the ministers: "Several, I don't know what to do when I see the widow." ”

Li Dui, Pang Wu, Gongsun Pu and others looked at Fei Yi and motioned for him to speak.

Fei Yi raised his head and looked at Jun Shang, and said in a steady voice: "Jun Shang, how do you plan to deal with Zhao Yin's matter." ”

Zhao Yong was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Da Sima, what should the widow do?" ”

"Zhao Yin plotted against himself, but he deserved it." Fei Yi deliberately paused, observed the look of the king, and continued: "But, the ministers of the court, there are many people who are coerced, so they will make the wrong choice, please be merciful, don't be involved, spare them." ”

Zhao Yong, looking around at everyone, said, "That's what you mean." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, expressing their agreement with Feiyi's statement.

Zhao Yong said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, it's easy to kill people." But does killing really solve the problem? ”

"Widows, take this opportunity to rectify the rule of officials and clear the gloomy wind of officialdom. In this way, the widow can carry out the new policy and immigrate to the border. If the heavens are widowed, it only takes ten years for the widow to shape a beautiful government. Zhao Yong, the passion in his heart that he couldn't suppress, and his eyes revealed his ardent expectations, "If there are a few more doctors and the like, they will preside over the new policy." They will definitely be outnumbered. ”

"You have great ambitions, minister, I am very grateful." Fei Yi, his face changed, he changed his tone, and said with a pause: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

Fei Yi took a breath, sorted out the wording, and said: "There are many people in the Zhao clan, and there are different princes from other countries. Between the clans, the ravines and ditches are deep, and the exchanges are intimate. Zhao Yin has a prominent status and a noble status. If they don't follow the crowd, how can they build a high temple, and how can they protect themselves? Your Majesty, if you punish them, you will be implicated in a wide range of cases, and everyone will be in danger. If you are not careful, it will lead to new changes, which will lead to political instability. Once, it will mess up the country's politics and shake the foundation of the country. The king's beautiful politics is not empty talk. Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize the big picture. ”

Zhao Yong, staring into his eyes, said, "Why did you not go with the flow." ”

"Ministers are dull by nature, and stick to the truth in their hearts. I don't know how to go with the flow, and I don't want to go with the flow. The world is turbid, but it is clear. If you want to ascend to a high position, you go against your original intention. Don't want such an official. Fei Yi, frowning, continued: "If the career is not smooth, Handan will not be able to tolerate me." Big deal, I went back to Daidi, grazed and hunted, and I lost the rest of my life. ”

"A good sentence, everyone in the world is turbid, but it is clear." When Zhao Yong saw what he said, the words came from the bottom of his heart, and he was relieved: "Da Sima, the widow will not let you go back to the land to graze and hunt, and live a leisurely life." Today, the widows will not hold them accountable, as you say. However, there is a condition for the widow. They can't stay in Handan, let alone hold important positions. ”

"Your Majesty, Shengming."

The next day, a court meeting was held. In the past few days, the situation in Zhao State has changed abruptly, making the courtiers panic all day long. In addition to their physical devastation, they also have a layer of mental torment. Those who should come will come, and those who should go will not stay.

Zhao Yong ordered someone to carry out three boxes of collected evidence, and ordered Han Zhong to hold a torch and light it in front of everyone. These people, the mistakes they made in the past, Zhao Yong can not be held accountable, and he will also give them a chance. However, he will not forgive those who follow the national captain Zhao Yin to commit crimes. The courtiers seemed to understand the intention of Zhao Yong's move.

In the face of this kind of reward and punishment, the courtiers knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is Shengming." ”

After the court meeting, Zhao Yong stood in the high pavilion of Longtai and witnessed the color of the sky dyed red by the setting sun. Looking up at the rows of birds between heaven and earth. A piece of bird's white feathers caught Zhao Yong's eyes, and he saw the white feathers swaying with the breeze. Zhao Yong stretched out his left hand, and the white feather fell lightly on his hand. Looking closely at the feather in his hand, such a tiny thing can make a bird cross the sky for nine days.

After a long time, Zhao Yong looked at the person behind him and asked, "Doctor, do you have any complaints in your heart about this move." ”

Tian Buru, bowed his head and pondered, and did not speak.

Zhao Yong, in a rather calm tone, said: "You will say that the widow should not let those people live." The widow should have them beheaded as a warning to his subjects. However, the widow, with a fire in his hand, burns the evidence that you have worked so hard to gather. Let your efforts be in vain. It is reasonable for you to complain about the widow. ”

"My mission is to collect incriminating evidence for you. It is no longer my job to deal with incriminating evidence. The king was merciful and spared their lives. But..."Tian Buli, glancing, continued: "They will not be grateful for the kindness of the king. They are like a cancer, if they are not removed by the roots, they are afraid that in the future, they will be infinitely harmful. Your Majesty, you can't be merciful to these people. ”

Zhao Yong doesn't know about these. Zhao Jun's move is indeed contrary to the original intention. However, as a monarch, he has too many factors to consider. His fire not only burned the evidence of the minister's mistakes, but also stabilized the situation and the foundation of the Zhao State. The most important thing is that Zhao Yong understands that Zhao Guo is sick and needs time to govern, and he can't rush in.

Zhao Yong, his face was calm, his heart was rippling, and he said: "These days, I have worked hard for you." The widow is tired, you can retire! ”

Tian Buli wanted to speak and stopped, he boasted that he had read countless people and was good at figuring out the thoughts of others. The young man in front of him, he really couldn't read it. The wise man stopped talking, he would not choose to be a fool, and saluted, "No." ”

After Tian Buli left, the historian greeted him and asked, "Your Excellency, how should you record what happened recently?" ”

Zhao Yong turned around and said, "How do you want to record." ”

"Zhao Yin's rebellion is an unforgivable crime, and the responsibility for their crimes should be announced to the princes and countries." The historian Kaikai talked, but he didn't get a response from the monarch for a long time, and he was observant, knowing that his words didn't hit the point, so he stopped in time and asked, "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Yong looked confused, looking at the clouds in the sky, and suddenly felt a little sad, "We always love to remember the mistakes made by others, but we ignore the achievements of others. Is it just because you make a mistake once, you can completely deny the life of others? ”

The historian deeply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise, how could he have heard the monarch say such nonsense. Zhao Yong waved his long sleeves, and the historian bowed and retreated. He didn't understand how he could upset the monarch by arguing on his own merits. Han Zhong saw the historian muttering to himself, lost his mind, and almost bumped into him, and stopped, "My lord, what's wrong with you." ”

The historian came back to his senses and said apologetically: "I was distracted just now and almost hit the big order." Please also give a big order, don't be surprised. ”

Han Zhong asked, "My lord, why are you traveling?" ”

"Not yet... Alas" The historian sighed heavily, and when he saw what had just happened, he lowered his voice and said, "Great Order, what does the king mean." ”

"You still don't understand what you mean." Han Zhong reminded him: "What does the king mean should be written and what should not be written." ”

Now, the historian's brain is even more confused, as a historian, he should write according to the truth, what is the crime.

"The crime committed by the national captain, doesn't that mean that the ancestor is stupid and incompetent, and does not know people? Your Majesty, Respect the Ancestors. As a son of man, how can he not cherish his father's reputation? Han Zhong reminded him: "It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. It is better for you not only to let the people know, but also to make it known to the princes. Where are you putting the face of the king? The pen in the hand of the adult, is it really so easy to hold? ”

The historian suddenly brightened up and said goodbye.

Han Zhong's style of doing things is indeed very different from that of the previous monarchs. The boy stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering. Zhao Yong looked up at the clouds overhead, and the huge clouds were surging with the wind, gathering or scattering.

Zhao Yong looked at Han Zhong, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Great Order, did the widow do something wrong?" ”

Han Zhong said: "The intention of the king, how can people like me comprehend it. Your Majesty, don't torture me. ”

Zhao Yong, facing him, asked, "Black-clothed order, what's going on." ”

Han Zhong arched his hand and said, "It was left to the king by the first king." ”

Zhao Yong, with tears in his eyes, said, "Father..."

Han Zhong said, "The first monarch asked me not to tell you about the black-clothed guard. ”

Zhao Yong, looking up at the sky, didn't let the tears fall, and said abruptly: "Da Ling, you tell the widow about the black-clothed guard." ”

"No."

The black-clothed guard was a guard formed by the queen when Xianjun Yu was the crown prince. The original purpose of this guard was to protect the safety of Zhao Yu and the East Palace. The Zhao family is both strong and vulnerable. Whenever the new monarch alternates, the external troubles are continuous, and the internal strife is endless. The queen, seeing that Zhao Chenghou was old, especially after the Battle of Handan, his health deteriorated. The queen is afraid that if her husband ascends the throne, there will be rebels. In order to share the worries of her husband, the queen established this black-clothed guard.

Later, Zhao Chenghou became seriously ill and passed the throne of the monarch to the crown prince before his death. Gongzi Fan and Gongzi were not convinced and rebelled. This black-clothed guard has become a force to turn the tide. Zhao Suhou stabilized the government, and whenever he saw this black-clothed guard, he would always think of the sadness of the same room, and he intended to dismiss this guard. But because of the black-clothed guard, both his military exploits and his wife's friendship, Zhao Suhou Yu kept him.

Zhao Suhou felt that the limit was approaching, and he could not rest assured that he could not leave the child and this mountain and river. On that day, he ascended the high pavilion, looked at the mountains and rivers of Zhao Guo, and said, "Han Zhong! After the death of the widow, can Yong'er stabilize the country and sit firmly in the position of king? ”

Han Zhong said: "Your Majesty, you are in the prime of your youth, how bad it is to say these unlucky words. ”

"You! Don't comfort the widow. The widow's body doesn't understand it yet. Zhao Suhou took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the depressed breath in his heart and lungs, and his tone was gloomy and vicissitudes, "The time left by God for the widow is running out. Before the widow left, the most reassuring thing was Yong'er and this mountain and river. ”

"Your Majesty..."

Zhao Suhou waved his hand and said, "After the widow goes, my son can't control his subordinates, and maybe someone will rebel." Yong'er, I'm afraid I can't hold this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! Today, the widow handed over the black-clothed guard to you, you have to help the widow, take care of this country, and Yong'er. ”

Han Zhong paused and said: "Your Majesty, my qualifications are dull and my talent is insufficient, please choose another meritorious." I'm afraid I've failed the king's trust. ”

Zhao Yu looked at him deeply and said, "If the widow doesn't rely on you, who else can he rely on." ”

"The chief priest, the prime minister is highly respected, and he is a clan, so he is the best candidate."

Zhao Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Because of this, the widow is not at ease!" Their abilities are too prominent, and Yong'er is difficult to balance. The man who wants the widow is the one who is loyal to the king. The widow has been lustful for more than 20 years, and you are the best candidate. ”

"Your Majesty, Captain Tu Du can take on the heavy responsibility."

"Tu Duwei is too impatient, easy to be impulsive, and has no city government, so it is difficult to deal with the ministers. The widow handed over the black-clothed guard to him, which would ruin the widow's arrangement. Han Zhong! Don't let down the trust that the widow has placed in you. "Zhao Yu, gloomy, if that person was still alive, it would be great.

Han Zhong explained the matter explained by the first monarch to the monarch and Pan. Zhao Yong listened to it and thanked him for the virtue of his father. Han Zhong saw Jun wave his sleeves and retreated. Zhao Yong rectified the rule of officials and removed the national captain, if it wasn't for the planning and arrangement of the monarch's father, I am afraid he would be defeated.

Zhao Yong didn't know that the people in the doctor's mouth were a cancer. However, he is no longer the impulsive teenager. Zhao Guo is like a child who has just recovered from a serious illness, a little better, and he can't withstand the toss of strong winds and waves. He has to consider the overall situation of Zhao State. Perhaps, some people will say, he went against his original intention, so what does it matter. The matter of Zhao Yin, the national lieutenant, and Li Xiang, the commander of Handan, involved a wide range of things, and the ditch was very deep. The slightest carelessness in handling it will shake the foundation of the country. Zhao Guo's safety, compared with his original intention, he chose the former.

Zhao Yong stood in the high pavilion of Longtai and looked down on Handan. The sun sets over the valley, and a full moon rises. As the wind struck, Zhao Yong closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and said, "The widow must hold on, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains left by the monarch's father for him." ”
