Chapter 358: The Throne of the Son
At the end of November, when Zhiyao's comments on his peers in the Jin Kingdom circulated, the teenagers who had just won the crown or those who had not yet won the crown had mixed reactions.
Zhao Bolu and Han Hu's personalities dictate this, so they just laughed at it and didn't think so; Wei Juming's face was also light, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
As for the twin brother who drowned in the river, Fan He, the remaining lone seedling of the Fan family, was angry in front of the black humerus of the Bank of China, and scolded Zhiyao: "His mother and maid are also!" ”
He immediately made a vicious motion to wipe his neck, and the next sentence was: "After the dead soldier is trained, it is better to kill the Zhi's erector together!" ”
For more than a year, Zhao Wuxian was busy opening up his future in the west of Lu State, and Wei Ju was busy picking up Zhao Wuxian's teeth, but it was difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it was unknown what it could do.
As for Bank of China Heiqiu and Fan He, they have recently focused on another path, that is, spending a lot of money to recruit dead soldiers.
Bank of China black humerus was rated as "strong and timid" by Zhi Yao, saying that he did big things and spared his life, and forgot his life when he saw small profits, he was "the dog of the household", he had a gloomy face, but he forcibly endured his dissatisfaction and admonished Fan Hedao:
"My cousin is already arrogant, he doesn't even care about his brother Zhixiao, and his temperament is a little more disgusting than Zhao Wuxian, this time he has offended all his peers in the Jin Kingdom. If this matter is calculated in the future, sooner or later he will be asked to pay the price, and now the plan is to cut off the head of the unsympathetic concubine as soon as possible, and revenge for Fan Zi is the right way! ”
He and Fan He's vision is like this, and they are worried about Zhao Wuxian's "killing" of Fan Jia but escaping with his life. After running away without shirts, they went to the country of Lu, and suddenly they became prosperous, which made them even more jealous and hateful. They can be thousands of miles apart. is also in a foreign country, although the two of them are domineering in the clan. But the whip couldn't reach it, so he came up with such an idea.
"There are many warriors who are willing to serve their lives for the lowly people. He is heavily guarded, and he needs a skilled swordsman to get close to him! ”
The Bank of China is a good soldier when he dedicates his son and Mu Zi from the middle bank, and there are naturally many capable people under his command, Fan's wealth is abundant, and the brave Pi Leopard raised by Fan Ying is famous all over the world, and the two gentlemen work together, and they really found a lot of people who dare to die, and now they are all listed in the hall.
In the plan of the Bank of China Heiqiu and Fan He, they will spend months. Train and select the good fighters among them, and send them to Lu State one after another to do assassination!
At the end of the column, there was a young man wearing a green scarf and a strong suit, who was first from Fan Jia, and then Yu Rang who was asked for by the Bank of China's black humerus! It's just that there are already several more scars left by the battle on his face and arms, and he has lost the hesitation and ambition he had when he first defected to the middle bank, and at this moment he is in the company of the vulgar swordsmen, just hanging his head and sighing secretly.
"I thought that it would be reused after being entrusted to the Bank of China. Although the Xing clan respects the sages and the capable, it cannot be reused; Although the unscrupulous are unscrupulous, they cannot be rejected. In Zhongxingzi's heart, I am just a light man and a dead soldier. You can throw out the utensils that hurt people at any time, and he's the same as the dead fan, and he meets me with everyone......"
But the ministers are loyal. Although the black humerus of the Bank of China could not satisfy him, it did not treat him too badly. In the face of the king's order, Yu Rang, who preclaimed himself as a "scholar", had to obey.
……
What Fan He did in Lingyi was relatively secretive. But the suzerain Fan Jishu knew it clearly, and when the retainers asked whether to restrain and persuade him, he gave a negative answer.
"Let him go......"
In Fan Ji's opinion, this impulsive and murderous younger son is not as much as the dead eldest son, but this desire to avenge his brother is good. Let him go for the time being, if he can succeed, it will be good, but he can't expect too much, relying on power to contend with the Zhao family is the right way.
He received a guest from the Chen clan of Qi today. The two countries of Jin and Qi are hostile, and the border is already in a semi-blockade state, so it stands to reason that Fan and Zhongxing are friendly, and if there is a piece of Fan's talisman, it can be taken by boat from the east bank of the big river near Yiyi. However, this guest was a thief, but instead made a detour to defend the country, and only arrived at Chaoge after walking a big circle.
The reason for this is that what the Chen family is planning is not good for the Bank of China!
Fan and Chen had a close relationship in the Fan Dynasty and after Fan Ying's death, Fan Jiji, who was the last of the Six Emperors, also hoped to get a strong reinforcement abroad, so he wanted to maintain this relationship, but because the two countries were hostile, everything had to be done secretly.
For these filthy things, Fan Jishu didn't dare to let the Zhongxing clan of the alliance know, just because the Zhongxing clan has always been the vanguard of the battle since the era of the Zhongxing Xianzi. Moreover, the two counties of Yanpu and Yiyi, their main territory "Dongyang", are adjacent to Chen's Gaotang and are across a large river, so they are not very friendly.
From the documents sent by the Chen family, Fan Jijiao learned that the Chen family was currently trying to encourage the Marquis of Qi to take advantage of the Qufu Rebellion to attack Lu. However, under the strong advice of the dying Yan Zi, Qi Hou changed his mind and decided to change the main target when he recruited troops in the next year.
This time, the Chen family specially sent an envoy to secretly inform the matter, and at the same time hoped that the Fan family would not interfere too much, so as not to exchange troops between the two families and hurt the peace.
Because the land belonging to the Zhongxing clan was too critical, even the Chen clan was a little moved.
"Chen, do you want me to do my hand?"
Chen's trip has a lot of meaning, one is to win the trust of Fan, and the other is to play a little trick. Whether Fan Jijiao told the BOC or not, it was in Chen's interests: if the BOC was unprepared, then Chen could take the opportunity to be the vanguard and seize the city. If the Bank of China is prepared, find an excuse to let the Qi Princes and Gao soldiers go to consume first.
Fan Jijiao has a headache, now that the six Qings are centrifuged, the ruling Zhibo is indifferent to the matter of fighting for hegemony, and it is difficult to reproduce the matter of sending troops together like this year, so that the Qi people only dare to shrink and dare not face the enemy. Even if Jin Qi went to war, his Fan clan, as an ally of the Bank of China, was not willing to let the clan soldiers shed blood.
Because the power of the two secretaries is absolutely no match for the whole country to attack, let alone the other four secretaries?
Now that he finally knows the difficulties of being the master of the house, he also begins to miss the time when his father Fan Ying was still there......
It was really Fan's golden age!
……
On the Zhao side, Zhao Ying immediately summoned his retainer Fu Su after sending away the visiting Han Buxin's father and son.
"Sure enough, as Dong Zi and Doctor Fu expected, Han Bo came to test me, and praised his achievements in Lu Guo during the banquet. He also mentioned that Fan Wuzi was enshrined in the past, so he was separated from the Shi clan, and the Bank of China Huanzi was the lord of the Bank of China, and the Zhuangzi was sealed in the Zhi, so he separated from the Xun family, implying that since Wu Xian has this merit, I can completely emulate my predecessors and make him a small sect in the side room......"
Fu Su saluted and said, "How does the Lord plan to deal with it?" ”
Zhao Ying sat down on the seat, stroked Meishu and said: "I politely refused, the reason is that I am still young, the Zhao family still thinks that there are too many small sects, why rush to come up with a new branch?" The five fingers can only be clenched into a fist to hurt people, and if they are centrifuged, they will be broken by each person, and it is not too late to talk about it later. ”
Fu Su said: "This reason is good, it is related to the internal affairs of the Zhao family, even if Han Bo will be disappointed, it will not hurt the relationship between the Zhao and Han families." It's just that the lord, this matter is not a solution after all, and we have to find a way to solve it......"
Thinking of this, Zhao Ying was a little irritable, sat on the desk and tapped the table with his index finger, and said in a gloomy voice: "The doctor should know that this matter cannot be solved if there is no mercy and no return." ”
Fu Sue was a spirit, and immediately got a glimpse of Zhao Ying's true thoughts!
"That's nature, the subordinates know!"
After the last Zhao Ying fainting incident, although the main retainers of the Zhao family have not yet made public their opinions, most of them have already decided to stabilize the situation Zhao Wuxian, hoping that this shrewd and capable gentleman will become the future head of the family.
The Zhao family has always been a meritocracy, and there have been several times when the concubine counterattacked the concubine and was elected as the new head of the family, so there is little resistance in terms of tradition.
The real obstacle was the sudden accident, Le Qi died, Fan Jia fed the fish, and Zhao Wuxian went into exile in Lu. Generally speaking, exiles were sentenced to death for the political development of their country, so many retainers quietly withdrew their votes and turned their attention to the other three sons.
But with Zhuyu in front of him, the three sons feel unbearable no matter how they look at it, except for Berushang, who can be called filial piety......
However, it has only been more than a year, and Zhao Wuxian has faintly risen in the Lu State with his own efforts, and the speed at which his power has increased is shocking, and the thoughts of his retainers have begun to drift again.
"The gentleman may be able to return again like Fan Wuzi and Fan Xianzi......"
This is very possible, in the long run, Zhao Ying is in the prime of life, and he is only sixteen without compassion, and Zhibo is old, and the life span of the head of the Zhi family has never been long, maybe he will die in a few years. At that time, Zhao Ying will be the Zhengqing, and he will be promoted to the right, and a pardon will be issued to the Lu State, unless the Fan family rebels, who can prevent the unsympathetic from returning to the country?
As soon as he thought of this, many retainers returned to the wait-and-see attitude, and Fu Sue was one of them.
Just the golden jade Jiarou sent by Zhao Wuxian on festivals such as the winter solstice, as well as the promises and gestures between the lines, were enough for Fu Sue to say some good things for him.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment and made a decision: "The side room can be erected, but it is not necessarily Wuxi, and it is not now, Bolu is pure and filial, you should understand my mind......"
Fu Sue secretly sighed in his heart, Lord, in fact, two years ago, there was an opportunity to cut through the mess quickly, and he could untie the knot between Zhao Han as soon as possible, and even avoid the accident of being expelled without mercy!
After all, it is his own lord whose personality is too anxious, too strong, and too emotional, and he is a little less calculating. However, this is also one of the reasons why Fu Suo, as well as many scholars in the world, are willing to be loyal.
Zhao Ying's mind and heroism can largely make up for his shortcomings.
But Fu Su still had a little regret: "If the lord didn't rush to finalize the marriage between the gentleman and the daughter of the Le family, and in turn let him marry the Han family, and take the daughter of the Han family as the wife of the main family, then even if he became the son and the sect master, there would be more relationship with the Han family, and there would be a little less worry!" (To be continued......)
