On the day of the beginning of summer, Xintian is sunny, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time, blowing the flowers in the pond and marsh of Yuqi Palace.

Summer is accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, and tributes from all over the world are also sent to Nitta: red carp caught in the river, reed mats from the mainland, raspberries and toons from Mianshangyuan, and ice to relieve the heat.

As the saying goes, "the ice is chiseled on the second day, and the ice is included in Lingyin on the third day", the ice cubes that were chiseled and preserved in the frozen Fenshui in December last year were transported out of the ice cellar and distributed to the palaces, which dissipated the heat of summer, so the main hall of Yuqi Palace was not stuffy at all, but immersed in coolness.

This is a clear proof that the Marquis of Jin is still the de facto ruler of the Jin State, at least he has not gotten mixed up to the point where he can't even collect tribute from his subordinates like Lu Hou.

However, although he lives a luxurious life, he is not in a good mood.

Mingtang sits in the north and faces south, and the Marquis of Jin wears a vermilion deep coat with a red jade, and sits high on the king's couch, feeling the difficulties of being a monarch.

As early as five days ago, the envoy who went to congratulate Zhao Qing's son and the ruling Zhao Wuxian of the Lu State came back. They rushed to congratulate him, but they returned with a funeral report, bringing the news that Handan doctor Zhao Wu died in Wen County, and a large number of complainants.

Zhao's eldest son, Bolu, and his retainer Fu Suo sued Fan and Handan to send dead soldiers to assassinate his brother Zhao Wuxian, resulting in Wuxian's leg and foot injuries and inability to come to Xintian to complete the court recruitment, and the death of Dr. Handan was also related to Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China.

The words of the prince of Wei Guo are even more appalling, he claims that Fan and the Bank of China have long had the intention of betraying the Jin, and the prince has conclusive evidence to prove that in last year's war, the second secretary has been in private contact with Qi and Wei, bypassing the Marquis of Jin and negotiating peace with the enemy army!

The incident immediately caused an uproar in Nitta. The Marquis of Jin urgently ordered Shi Mo, Han Hu, Wei Ju, Shangjun Sima Jiqin and others as witnesses to enter Xintian, and summoned the six Qings to gather in the Qiqi Palace to discuss together.

However, Liuqing has not yet arrived. Maybe it will never be even, but the envoys of Fan, Bank of China, and Handan have also come.

They confronted the Zhao clan in court. The Handan envoy cried that the Zhao family was the murderer of Zhao Wu, and asked the Marquis of Jin to uphold justice and allow them to break away from the Zhao family forever in patriarchal law.

Now, Marquis Jin could feel the tense atmosphere in the hall, and the people present, no matter which faction they belonged to, all looked at each other angrily, and they only drew their swords in the hall.

"Handan, the small sect of the Zhao family, is now gathering troops to rebel. The Zhao family will fulfill the family law, crusade against Handan, and hope that the monarch will allow it! Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China have been plotting rebellion for a long time, and have sent people to assassinate Wuxian several times, these traitors not only want to damage the cornerstone of the country, but also want to break the alliance between Jin and Lu! It's really painful for the relatives, and the enemies are fast! ”

This was Zhao's request, and Zhao's envoy was well-organized and had a tough tone. Moreover, with the key evidence in hand, Han and Wei were also obviously on the side, and their opinions could not be ignored by the Marquis of Jin.

"The Zhao family was brutal and unkind to Handan, and also suppressed Fan and Bank of China. I want to be as specialized as Zhuanlu! ”

Although Fan, Bank of China Erqing and Handan couldn't say a decent refutation, this sentence also made the thorn in Jin Hou's heart faintly itch, the Zhao family has indeed been a little too powerful in recent years.

"I hope you will check it out!"

His Highness quarreled. Jin Houwu felt very tired, he felt from the bottom of his heart. The Kingdom of Jin was really torn apart in his hands.

"It's all his fault, just stay in Lu Country. Why do you have to come back! Jin Hou Wu secretly blamed himself for the source of all his things.

Since Zhao Wuxian began his journey back to Jin, the atmosphere of the Jin Kingdom has been like a firewood storehouse, and any spark can cause a fire, but unfortunately, Zhao Wu played such a role.

According to the news of the Zhi clan, Zhao Ji, the young lord of the Handan clan, has erected the ink-dyed mourning flag, he killed three pro-Zhao Kundi in a row, announced that he would not share the sky with the Zhao clan, gathered his retainers, and was gathering troops in Handan at the moment. The Zhao father and son in Wen County were not idle, and the instructions for the transfer of troops were sent to Jinyang and the eldest son one after another, and if this continued, it would be a matter of time before a bloody conflict broke out between Zhao and Handan.

The situation now is that no matter which side the Marquis of Jin leans on, a civil war seems inevitable. The Zhao family and the Handan family have already stood in front of the stage, and Han Wei, Fan, and Bank of China are also gearing up behind their backs because of the conflicts accumulated over the years, and they may join in at any time.

The difference is only that Zhao and Handan, who is the first to attack them, this point will be determined by him!

Since Chong Ling succeeded to the throne, Jin Wu has been the monarch for 14 years, and he has never felt so sad. The Jin State Office has "not driven a horse, and there is no military march; There is no one in the public car, and there is no long line", the strength of the Marquis of Jin is not as good as any of the ministers, and he can't stop the war. His only power is an empty shell that conforms to etiquette and law, and whoever gets his support will be able to get the support of the people of Xintian country, which is the reason why Liuqing still puts him in his eyes.

After all, he still couldn't make a decision, and invited Tai Shimo to consult, and Shi Mo didn't mention his own opinion, but arched his hand and said: "Before his death, the first monarch said that if the six kings attack each other, the king can choose the one with the greatest power and choose the winner from it......"

……

Jin Houwu remembered that his father Jin Qinggong did say this before he died, which was the only way to deal with the struggle of the Qing clan after the monarchs of the Jin Dynasty mourned the monarchs.

It doesn't matter which side is more reasonable.

"But whether it is Zhao Wei and Han who are powerful, or Fan, Bank of China, and Handan who are powerful...... Thinking about this, Jin Houwu felt very ridiculous, these people are all his own courtiers, but now they have to look at the map to find a stronger party to support, in order to ensure the survival of the Jin State Office, it is really a big mistake in the world.

Fortunately, Shi Mo is erudite, not only through the past and the present, but also aware of the current situation at home and abroad, he analyzed, Fan, Bank of China is an old strong Qing, Handan also has four counties, the combined army is full of 70,000 people, although their center of gravity is east of Taihang, but west of Taihang Jin hinterland also has a lot of territory.

As for Zhao Weihan, he is either a new Qing who has risen in the past fifty years, or an old clan like the Zhao family that has come back to life, and there are nearly 70,000 troops.

"But don't forget, this is just the 'Western Zhao' of the Chinese Army, in the land of Haidai in the east, there is also a so-called 'Eastern Zhao', Zhao Zitai has a thousand times the strength, 30,000 soldiers, and a large number of allies. and the enemies of the Jin Dynasty. ”

"In this way, it seems that Zhao Weihan's side is stronger? Taishi thinks. Should the widow support the Zhao family? Jin Houwu also suddenly remembered that the rotten and corrupt hegemony of the Jin Kingdom still had some face. It's all up to the Zhao family to sustain it.

But he suddenly became scared again, if the Zhao clan was controlling Handan and his strength increased greatly, would he do what Zhao Wuxian did in the Lu State in the Jin State again? What if Fan and Bank of China felt that they had handled it unfairly, and really betrayed the Jin State and went to join the Qi State?

Shi Mo was already drooping, his beard was trembling slightly when he spoke, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his eyes, and he saw the monarch's face hesitant. He also said: "Your Majesty, the ancestor has another sentence, the major affairs of the country cannot be decided, but you can ask the ...... Zhibo."

……

"Zhibo is out of the gate of the Chinese army's general's mansion!"

"Zhibo's car has arrived outside the Qiqi Palace!"

The next day after the beginning of Xia, Zhi Boqing's whereabouts were sent to the Zhao family's mansion one by one and sent to Fu Suo and Zhao Bolu.

"Zhihu said that he was sick and closed for many days, and now he finally goes out." Fu Chau said.

As the mastermind of the Zhao family, who is most feared and knows Zhibo the most, Fu Suo dragged his old body to Xintian to preside over the first complaint. What he cares about most is Zhi Boqing's actions and whereabouts.

"If he doesn't move, I won't be able to stay in this new field."

Zhao Bolu said this with a wry smile. Quietly wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and I didn't know if it was hot or nervous.

In his senses. This Xintian Zhao Mansion, which has become so familiar that it can no longer be familiar, seems to have become a tent before the war. A scout came with military intelligence, and he and Fu Chau. It was the former enemy generals and strategists who witnessed the opening of this great war.

As for the commander and deputy marshal of the Zhao family, his father and younger brother are still far away in Wen County.

On the way to Xintian, you have to pass through the territory of the hostile Qing clan, and the strength of the Zhao family in this area is very small compared to the other five Qings, which is the evil result of the loss of land and land in the palace back then. Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian are the first of the two Zhao in the east and west, and at this critical moment, I don't know if Fan and the Bank of China will continue to attack along the way, so they can't get involved lightly.

After completely giving up the position of the prince, Bolu felt a lot more at ease, and compared to the fear of the past, this time he was willing to do something for the Zhao family. But when the matter came to an end, he realized that he was not suitable for this kind of thing, and he admired more and more how Zhao Wuxian won in the Lu State Rebellion and obtained the supreme position.

The Zhao clan and Handan are ready to fight at any time. At this time, only one sentence from the Marquis of Jin was missing, so that the Zhao family could detain the charge of "the first troublemaker" on Handan Ji's head, and let the Fan family and the Zhongxing family become the public enemies of the Jin State.

"Zhibo got out of the car and entered the palace with a different step, and Taifu Liangying's father and Tai Shimo accompanied him!"

Another piece of news came, and at this point, it was the end of Zhao's eyeliner.

In recent years, although Fu Su has worked hard to install people around the Marquis of Jin, there has been no result after all, and the foundation laid by Zhao Wuxian when he entered the Qi Palace has also been wasted, and the reason is that the three sons of the Zhao family cannot establish a close relationship with the Marquis of Jin.

In addition, the Zhi clan regarded the court as their own territory, and kept an eye on it very tightly, pulling out the nails of the rest of the princes one by one.

Fu Sue sighed: "Although reluctant, I have to admit that now the monarch obeys Zhi Boyan, and his entry into the Qi Palace this time determines the attitude of the monarch and the people, this is his terrible thing, if you don't make a move, you can decide the outcome as soon as you make a move!" ”

A fear staggered in his chest, making Zhao Bolu tremble more and more, he felt more and more that he was wise to let Xian's move, with his weak will and indisputable temperament, it was really not suitable to decide these matters of life and death.

Wait for this matter, let your father and Wuxian host everything, and I'm still suitable for teasing my son......

"How will Zhibo choose? Zhibo sent someone to show favor to my Zhao clan and was willing to marry, but my father planned to make a false ...... for the sake of the clan's great plan, regardless of the unsympathetic opposition."

"I don't know, I don'......t know," Fu Chau shook his head, "If people can easily guess it, he is not a Zhibo." ”

He suddenly became serious: "Gentleman, if the Zhi clan suddenly falls to Fan and Zhongxing, and sends troops to besiege the mansion, you must remember that you must let the black clothes escort you to the Han mansion to seek refuge, the Zhao clan's strength near Xintian is too weak, once the chaos starts, I am afraid that this Zhao mansion, and even the lower palace, will have to give up completely!" ”
