After the excitement of the wedding night, there is often a silent silence.

Until a long-pitched rooster crowed, and then the roosters in the entire Wen County crowed one after another, breaking the lonely early morning.

When I left the dormitory, the sky had changed from dark to a deep cobalt blue, but the stars were still shining, watching the car that was speeding in the Wenxian Palace.

Zhao Wuxian was wearing a deep coat and sat with his eyes closed on the car, and there was still a little coldness blowing from the slow morning fly. For the next day of the wedding night, he couldn't sleep with the bride in his arms, but was awakened by a violent knock on the door, he was naturally a little unhappy, and he didn't say a word along the way, until he felt that he was awake enough, he opened his eyes and asked the person next to him: "Tell me the situation in the hall again?" ”

"That's how it happened......"

The black clothes of the herald stood on Zhao Wuxian's car, and he was also ordered by Zhao Ying to dare to disturb this gentleman.

After listening to this, Zhao Wuxian seemed to be surprisingly calm, but there were many doubts inside: Handan Wu died, died on the feast, died in front of everyone, this is something he never expected.

However, what he saw along the way convinced him of this.

It was a hidden courtyard, and dozens of black-clad guards were guarding outside. "No one is allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the sovereign." Zhao Ying, with his iron will, had already issued one order after another to block this news and strengthen the vigilance in Wen County.

In the tranquility of the courtyard, Zheng Long stood outside the house in black armor and black robe, although he was still in good spirits, the bloodshot in his eyes indicated that he had not slept all night last night.

"Where is my father?"

"The Lord is inside." Zheng Long said as he pushed the door open.

The interior is brightly lit. But for some reason there was an inexplicable chill, Zhao Wuxian walked over. stood behind Zhao Ying's side.

"Coming?" Zhao Ying knew who it was, and he only summoned one person.

"Here we are." Zhao Wuxian replied softly. There was not the slightest dissatisfaction in his tone. In fact, Zhao Qing had already set aside a lot of time for his son's wedding night, and when he encountered such a big event, he who had always been irritable could endure it until the early morning of the next day after the incident.

Since the dispute on the night before, the father and son have been separated by a wall, and Zhao Ying seems to have raised Ji Huan as his own daughter, and I am afraid that he will not be able to easily accept Zhao Wuxian's feelings.

However, now it is a matter of the rise and fall of the clan, the life and death of the clan, and they can only cooperate sincerely.

Zhao Wuxian's gaze fell on the pu mat, and there was a person lying quietly on it. For a moment he could not make out the dead. That's right, the deceased with round eyes is Handan Wu, but he has lost his previous appearance as a graceful doctor, his face is blue, his speech is slightly open, and his expression is distorted, as if he has experienced extremely painful things before he died.

The person closest to the deceased was on one knee and wearing a white mask as he investigated the cause of death. It is the disciple of Yi Bian Que.

He is the son of a doctor in the land, because the doctor Bian Que first saved him, and then accepted him as a disciple and took him to Lu to practice medicine. Due to Zhao Wuxian's care, Dr. Yu also began to move closer to Zhao. After Zhao Wuxian's forces swept through the whole of Lu, Yi Bian Que also began to set his sights on various countries. The practice of medicine in the lower strata of society can only be carried out in the Song, Shandong, and Cao countries, and the rest of the countries. Or have to go up the route. For example, on the Jin side, let Yu Kuo be the medical officer of the Zhao family.

The healer is not shy about it. Even if he was facing a dead man, he had finished his journey and then put forward his own opinions.

"It was indeed poisoned and died."

"When was it poisoned?" Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian asked at the same time, which is very important.

Yu Kuo said: "The long is ten days, the short is three days, this should be an extremely rare chronic poison, hidden in the lungs, making people chest tight, suffocation, until death." It wasn't until last night that I had a sudden attack because of a certain trigger, and as for what kind of poison it was, I had to take a caesarean section to find out. ”

Chinese medicine has a tradition of dissection since ancient times, and now the scattered medical book "Lingshu" contains: "A man with an eight-foot man, his skin and flesh are here, and he can be measured and followed outside, and his death can be dissected and regarded as it." The brittleness of its organs, the size of its intestines, the turbidity of its blood, and the amount of qi are all large. ”

In addition, at the suggestion of Zhao Wuxian, the Yibian Que sect had begun to systematically dissect and record the human body, and asked the disciples to record the findings of each autopsy in the form of experimental reports from later generations. Among them, especially Yu Kuo was the most enthusiastic about the art of anatomy, but Le Lingzi frowned at this bloody way. "Not necessarily." It is rude for people to die, and it is rude to hurt their bodies after death, especially among the nobles, and the same is true for Zhao Ying, not to mention that the body of Handan Wu will be disemboweled and then sent back, and Handan will probably blow up the nest even more.

After Yu Kuo retreated, Zhao Ying said with a gloomy face: "Three days ago, Zhao Wu just arrived in Wenxian County ......"

"Ten days ago, he was still in Handan, and he passed by Chaoge ......," Zhao Wuxian said quietly.

……

The rising sun dotted the top of the hall with bright crimson, but the walls on the outskirts of Wenxian County were still in the dark night, and the outer kingdom was so quiet that the guests and the people did not know that war was coming.

Le Lingzi was also kept in the dark, although Zhao Wuxian was called away by a hurried knock on the door early in the morning, which gave her a sense of foreboding.

But she didn't have the strength to think about it, Zhao Wuxian had to ask too much last night, of course she couldn't bear it, and soon fell asleep deeply. Now that I woke up again, not only was the private part of my lower body hot and painful, but my body bones were almost kneaded, and I didn't have any strength in my body. As soon as she thought of last night, from the stiffness and restraint at the beginning, to the involuntary pandering later, she couldn't help but blush.

But it must be held on, there are still many things to do today, and on the second day of the wedding, the bride still has a procedure to go through in the temple to visit her aunt.

So she got up as soon as the rooster crowed, bathed, groomed, and followed Yousi to wash her hands and make soup, and then brought it to the outside of the temple, and offered it to Zhao Ying, as well as Zhao Wuxian's brothers and sisters.

Even though something big happened last night, Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian naturally didn't miss this solemn ceremony, and hurried over from another place.

Zhao Ying sat in the hall, and after receiving his daughter-in-law's soup, he stroked dates and chestnuts with his hands. took Zhao Wuxian and Le Lingzi to worship the ancestors of the Zhao family, and told them that there was another bride in the family. Then give the bride liquor, preserved and other things - China has been a foodie country since ancient times. Any ritual is inseparable from eating, even the solemn sacrifice to the gods. There is also a hint of pyrotechnics.

After eating, Le Lingzi withdrew, and her concubine Kongjiao ate the bride, which also has a meaning, if the lady of the main room is infertile or has an accident, she must take this position and responsibility.

After the ceremony, Le Lingzi came from the east steps of the temple, and Ji Huan, who had been absent for a long time, was late.

In this regard, Le Lingzi was a little surprised. As the eldest sister of the clan, Ji Huan did not enter the temple, what is the meaning of this? Does the husband's absent-mindedness yesterday have anything to do with it?

However, she didn't ask a word, put on the vermilion dark clothes that the Jin people liked, and she took Kong Jiao and Ji Huan to bow to each other, which meant that the bride would assist the eldest sister of the Zhao family in presiding over the family affairs.

"The affairs of the Zhao family's family will depend on Lingzi from now on." Ji Ying said with a smile.

"Only, dare not listen to my sister's orders." Le Lingzi is obedient. Very submissive.

Everything seems to be harmonious, but who knows what the woman's family is thinking, but Zhao Wuxian didn't have time to feel this Shura field, after completing the ceremony. Only then did he have time to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Ying.

……

"Father, the Fan assassins who followed Zhao Wu have finished interrogating, and some of them can't stand the torture. said that in addition to waiting for an opportunity to assassinate my father and me, he also had to monitor Zhao Wu. From this point of view. Nine times out of ten, it must be a good thing done by Fan! "Continue with the morning analysis. Zhao Wuxian was determined to be the real murderer.

"Although Handan's father and brother strongly opposed, Zhao Wu already had the idea of returning to the Zhao family, Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China could not stop it, in order not to lose Handan, they secretly poisoned it, calculated the time, let Zhao Wu die in Wen County, and then blamed the Zhao family......"

He really underestimated Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China before, but Zhao Wu is the brother-in-law of the Bank of China, but he can get rid of it without hesitation, and he is ruthless, Zhao Ying, Zhao Wuxian are not as good.

"Although Handan Wu died, the plan does not have to be changed, it is better to open the stomach by caesarean section, let the doctor see what poison he was in, and then combine the confessions of those Fan's dead soldiers, and inform the monarch of the assassination of the second secretary and the treason of the second secretary of the second secretary...... "When discussing the countermeasures, Fu Su was cautious and advised.

"It's unreliable to expect the monarch and the Zhishi, so it's better than nothing to do this."

This time, the father and son reached a consensus, and Zhao Ying also had this awareness.

"Since Erqing has done this kind of thing, the road to Xintian in the west is not safe, and going to Qiqi Palace in person at this time is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, and the strength of Fan and Bank of China in that area far exceeds that of the Zhao family."

Zhao Wuxian bowed his head and said: "I will stay in Wen County, mobilize the soldiers of the Lu State, and make a decision after observing the changes in the situation." ”

"Transferring Lu soldiers into Jin? I'm afraid this ......" Fu Chau still hesitated.

"The south of Jianjin is not the territory of the Jin Kingdom, but the common occupation area of the Jin and Lu Kingdoms, and it is understandable to transfer troops so far." Zhao Wuxian is not afraid, in the current situation, it is safe to have soldiers by his side.

"That's right, now is not the time to hesitate, second and third sons, war, or has already begun!" Zhao Ying announced to the core retainers.

Zhao Wuxian took a deep breath, he remembered that before waiting for that assassination yesterday, he had self-deprecatingly imagined himself as the Austro-Hungarian Grand Duke Ferdinand who caused the First World War, and now it seemed that Handan Wu was.

In addition to Zhao Wu in the Handan clan, those fathers and brothers, as well as his heirs, all have the heart of rebelling against Zhao, and Fan and Bank of China saw this clearly and dared to act like this.

Zhao Wu's death is like a small spark in the pile of dry firewood in the Jin Kingdom, which will trigger a fierce flame, the flame will start from Handan, burn all over the Fan and Zhongxing territories east of Taihang, and then lead to the Zhao family and the Han family, and the Zhi, Wei, and Jin marquis west of Taihang may not be spared, and maybe the entire northern princes will be involved.

He had expected this, but he didn't expect it to be like this at the beginning.

"Father is right, so we must act immediately."

"Although Dong Zi has done a lot, is the Zhao family really ready?" Fu Chau was still a little worried.

"In the face of war, no one dares to say that they are ready, including the opponent, including ourselves." Zhao Wuxian shook his head.

"I can only guarantee that Dongzhao is prepared earlier than anyone else, and he is well prepared!"

……

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, as the saying has been around for a long time.

There is no fire in the world that cannot be contained in paper. This is a new proverb that appeared after paper was gradually accepted and used in the Jin Kingdom.

Although it was claimed to the public that Zhao Wu was just drunk and unconscious. But Zhao couldn't detain all the guests, and he couldn't gag them.

Late March. Zhao Wu, who went to Wen County to attend Zhao Wuxian's wedding, did not return for a long time, and his son Zhao Ji was anxious, but he learned the news of a five-thunder explosion.

Zhao Wu died.

This news caused an uproar within the Handan clan, and Zhao Ji's ancestors, fathers and uncles rushed from various counties. The meeting was held in the Zongmiao in Handan City, which is the same as the Zongmiao in Wenxian County, and also worships Zhao Zaofu, Shudai, and Zhao Shu, but the back is very different, but the first generation of Handan Jun Zhao Chuan.

The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. The only thing that maintains the relationship between the two families is that Zhao Wu is afraid of Zhao Ying, and the other is that the Zhao family regained the patriarchal right over the Handan clan from the Marquis of Jin the year before last.

Theoretically, even if Zhao Ying really killed Zhao Wu, it was just an internal family matter, but in the hearts of everyone in the Handan clan. This is not the case.

Mrs. Zhao Wu, who suffered from the loss of her husband, described her as haggard, and it is said that her eyes were hollow, like a person haunted by nightmares, and she could no longer attend the meeting. As the eldest son in the family. Zhao Ji sat on the main seat, next to him was the head of the family, and the clan fathers and brothers sat on the left and right sides.

"There's news from Fan's side. My father has been poisoned by the Zhao family at the feast! He said through gritted teeth.

What followed was an ongoing bickering. Until late at night. The old lord is dead, but the new lord has not been established. The wolves are leaderless, and every clan member and retainer has the right to speak...... or yelling, or swearing, or knowing the reason, from time to time someone left the table in anger, and then came back with a calm face.

The news is almost confirmed to be true, and now the controversy is where the Handan clan will go.

"The old man still thinks that he has to send someone to talk to the Zhao clan sect master first and ask the reason." So says the conservative side.

"Why? That's why my father is dead! ”

"But the Zhao family has sent a funeral report, saying that it is the death of the Fan family who poisoned it, which seems to be justified......"

"Ridiculous!"

A nameless anger suddenly filled Zhao Ji's heart, he hated the whole world, hated the small sect must obey the patriarchal system of the big sect, hated Zhao Ying who oppressed the Handan clan, hated Zhao Wuxian, who is now thriving in the Lu country, and hated the cowardly members of the clan.

Like most members of the Handan clan, he didn't believe it at all.

The guest who had a close relationship with Fan and the Bank of China retorted: "This is Zhao's excuse for himself, the one who kills the lord and monarch, Zhao Ying, Zhao Wuxian is also!" ”

"Yes, Handan's father, brothers, and brothers!" Zhao Ji finally couldn't help it, he shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the room.

"Let's listen to the kid tell me what I think of the Zhao family!" He took a sip. "The Zhao family has always been fortunate to Handan, Zhao Ying regards Handan as a dog, and Zhao Wuxian is the same, why can they sit in Jinyang or Qufu, and they can point fingers at Handan, recruit soldiers, and forcibly collect taxes? By thin blood? By virtue of the fact that they are the so-called large quantities? Handan and Zhao are already incompatible, why can't they take care of themselves? Now that this father and son have done such things, the hatred of killing their father is not shared, and I will never bow to the Zhao family again! ”

"However, the king humiliates the ministers, let alone dies? This is the revenge of the Lord. He took out his long sword and put it on the table in front of him, and the blade flashed cold light on the rough wood. We should talk to the Zhao family about this. ”

A group of people cried in and others agreed, shouting or slapping the table with fists and drawing their swords.

"But the Zhao clan is strong, and the Western Zhao alone is twice as strong as Handan, not to mention the Eastern Zhao that is closer to this...... "There are still people who are worried and unwilling to go to war.

Shebin is full of confidence: "Handan also has friends!" Fan and Bank of China not only sent people to report the funeral, but also strongly supported Handan, in addition, Dr. Zhongmu will also become our help, and the ruling and monarch will definitely uphold justice for Handan! ”

"But first, we want to let the entire Jin Kingdom know what the Zhao clan has done!"

Zhao Ji asked the erector to bring the prepared things, and after a while, he tied a black belt for mourning on his head and wore sackcloth, as did his father, brothers, and retainers.

He brazenly announced: "I am Handan Ji, not Zhao Ji!" Handan, from today to break away from the Zhao family, the two families broke off, since then, there are no big sects and small sects, only Qiu Ju! ”

Shi Mo's "Ride" said: In the spring and March of the fourteenth year of the Gong, Zhao Wu died in Wen, and in April, Handan Ji and Shibin rebelled against Zhao in Handan!
