The mother-in-law Zhao Li didn't say anything, and responded with silence, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Zhao Jie looked at this situation, couldn't help but burst into tears, and shouted affectionately: "Mother! ”

Zhao Huan, the younger sister on the side, heard Zhao Jie's voice, and also murmured affectionately: "Mother! ”

Subsequently, Zhao Jie, Zhao Huan and his mother hugged each other and cried. On this day, Zhao Jie rarely spent the whole day with his mother, during which his father never came to visit them.

In the end, under the persuasion of his mother, Zhao Jie gave up the idea of destroying the marriage. Since then, Zhao Jie has often entered the palace to accompany his mother in order to fulfill his filial piety. After a long time, Zhao Jie found that his mother's body was getting thinner and thinner, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

In October of the first year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Xiangtian Shan left Zhongyang with the triumphant army of Zhao and returned to the territory of Zhao.

In this battle, Zhao mobilized a total of 200,000 troops, including 100,000 in the central garrison and 100,000 in the northeastern border, and killed nearly 100,000 Yan troops, including more than 50,000 invading troops and more than 30,000 Zhongyang garrisons. This battle is roughly divided into three sections, the first stage is the siege of Wuyuan, which relieved the siege of Wuyuan, an important border town of Zhao, saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Wuyuan City, and disrupted the plan of the Yan army to gain a foothold in Zhao; The second stage is to break through Zhongyang, which captured Zhongyang, the border town of Yan, and gained a foothold on the border of Yan; The third stage is to break the reinforcements of the Yan State, this battle ensured the safety of the garrison army and the operation of Zhongyang, and achieved the momentum and absolute suppression of the Yan State.

Overall, the entire campaign ensured peace on the northeastern border of Yan for nearly a decade. This battle field is indispensable! Zhao Kuo's contribution to this battle is indispensable! The soldiers and civilians who participated in this war have made great contributions!

On the way back to Handan, the military exploits are brilliant, the legendary Tiandan has won the great support of the people of Zhao State, local governments at all levels have organized the people to open the road with loess, sprinkle water and burn incense, welcome the army, banquet generals, for a time, Tiandan's limelight has reached its peak, no one can match, almost like Zhao Hao after the battle of Que and the war in the past, and even exceeded.

No one can betray their birth, and Tian Dan, who came from the Qi Kingdom, was naturally divided into the Later Sect. After he returned to Handan, he naturally became the leader of the post-faction, injecting a shot in the arm for the post-faction. With the leader's exploits and the support of Empress Zhao Wei, the latter faction also became in the limelight for a while, comprehensively suppressed all other factions, and achieved an absolute position in the court.

"Book of Qin * Biography of King Zhaoxiang" contains: "In the 43rd year of King Zhaoxiang, the prince of Qi and Zhao Riqin, the king feared that the six countries would be united again, and the special envoy was sent to Zhao, and he was willing to send protons to Zhao to ease the enmity of Zhao and Qin and appease the heart of Zhao State.

In the second year of Zhao Xiaocheng's reign, at the beginning of the year, an envoy from the Qin State came to Handan and brought the resolution of the Qin State - to change the quality. This news once again stirred a pool of spring water in Handan City.

"The Qin State wants to send protons to our country and be friendly with our country, what do you think?" On the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Dan asked lightly.

"Father, the ambition of the wolf son of the Qin State must not be gullible, and the matter of the proton must not be done!" As soon as he heard about the proton, Zhao Jie immediately felt a sense of conspiracy, so he took the lead to stop him.

"If I, the Zhao State, do not agree, and the Qin State army comes to attack, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have the confidence to lead and defeat the Qin army?" Tian Dan was not angry, and said in a flat tone.

"I ......" Zhao Jie opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Tian Dan's words: "Once the Qin State fights with all its might, Yanhan, Wei and Chuqi are likely to take advantage of the fire to rob, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have the confidence to go against the whole world?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be asked to think carefully before answering me! ”

Zhao Jie was stunned when he heard this, paused slightly, and then said loudly: "If my Zhao State can defeat the Qin State once, I can defeat it for the second time." If the Qin State dares to fight with all its might, I, the Zhao State, will also resist with all my might, they are all carrying a head on both shoulders, and my Zhao people are no worse than the Qin people. As for the prime minister's statement that the world is the enemy, I can only say: 'As long as all Zhao people fight with all their might, no enemy in the world will be broken, and as long as all Zhao people are single-minded, there is no place in the world to go.' Those who invade my Zhao realm have no return; Those who commit me will be punished even if they are far away. ’。 ”

Tian Dan couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this: "Your Highness's ambition is very admired by the next, but it's just ......" Tian Dan shook his head, smiled, and then said to the arch: "Changing quality is a state affair, but it is also a king's family matter, please make your own decision!" ”

Tian Dan paused, and then said: "However, as a Xiangguo, Weichen has to remind the king that now Zhao is not the opponent of Qin, and the overlord should not be taken lightly.

Different from Zhao Jie's impassionedness, Tian Dan's tone was flat and calm, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression, and the facts he narrated made people can't help but want to believe it.

Zhao Dan pondered for a while when he heard this, and then said unwillingly: "I decided to send the crown prince Ru into Qin as a hostage to show my Zhao State's respect for the overlord!" ”

Zhao Jie couldn't help but stand on the spot when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do for a long time, as if he was stunned!

"Come on, send the prince back to the prince's mansion! And quickly send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat! Zhao Dan saw Zhao Jie's stunned appearance and said with concern.

The carriage creaked towards the prince's mansion, and Zhao Jie slowly recovered. After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Jie understood his father's consideration: he was not only Zhao Jie's father, but also the king of Zhao State, and he could not exchange Zhao Jie's peace of residence at the expense of the entire country.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jie couldn't help laughing at himself, and then muttered: "As a child of the royal family, you can't help but dedicate everything to this country." Just let me do what I can for this country! ”

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Jie found that everyone in the Mansion who knew the news had gloomy expressions, so Zhao Jie asked Yan Jingdao: "Why is this so?" ”

Yan Jing showed a wry smile and said: "Your Highness is going to Qin Country here, for Zhao Proton, it is difficult to return to your homeland, and we are all worried about Your Highness." ”

Protons are hostages sent to the enemy or other countries, mostly princes and other people of noble origin. The nature of protons can be roughly divided into the following two types: one is that countries send princes to each other's countries as hostages in order to show the fulfillment of the covenant to ensure the smooth implementation of the covenant. Zhao Jie obviously belongs to this type. The other is that when the two countries are at war and suing for peace, the losing side sends close relatives to the other side as hostages in order to show its submission to ensure that it is trustworthy.
