"The Book of Qi * Anping Jun Biography" contains: Tian Danhou was Zhao Xiang, and he was named Pingjun, and Zhao changed his land for dozens of miles in Pingyi.

As for when the Hou faction contacted Qi State, after the court meeting, Zhao Jie has been puzzled. It wasn't until later, when Zhao Wei died and the Hou faction split, that Zhao Jie knew the ins and outs of the matter through the narrative of the parties: when Zhao Guo was anxious about the assassination case, a group of people from the Hou faction secretly promoted one thing - the development of the matter of exchanging border cities for land orders.

It is still unclear whether Tiandan to Zhao is good or bad for Zhao, but according to the current situation, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages: the phase competition has come to an end for the time being, and the government tends to stabilize; Someone can lead the troops to retreat and regain the lost territory.

So, Zhao Jie endured it, looked at the war that happened in Yan Country with a cold eye, looked at the things in this world, and calmly waited for the moment to counterattack!

In April of the first year, hundreds of thousands of troops of Yan State brazenly invaded Zhao State, and the border army of Zhao State was defeated and retreated to Wuyuan.

In May of the first year, Qi Xiangtian went to Zhao in the name of refuge, and the king of Zhao named him the king of Duping, and then appointed Zhao Xiang.

In the sixth year of the first year, Wuyuan City was in danger, Zhao Xiangtian led 100,000 troops to rescue, defeated, beheaded more than 30,000 people, captured more than 50,000 people, but the Yan army, the siege of Wuyuan was touched.

In July of the first year, Zhao Xiangtian took advantage of the victory to pursue, entered the Yan realm, pulled out the three cities, and surrounded Zhongyang. The Yan Kingdom shook up and down, and urgently sent the elite garrison of Wuyang City to rescue it.

In August of the first year, Zhao Xiangtian set up an ambush outside Zhongyang City, defeated the Yan army, beheaded more than 20,000 people, and captured more than 10,000 people.

At the beginning of October of the first year, Zhao Xiangtian single-handedly attacked Yandi Zhongyang and occupied it.

Zhongyang, an important town of Yan State, was the land of the Tang Marquis in ancient times. Emperor Yao Fangxun was born in the Tang Dynasty, was named the Marquis of Tang, ruled Yangyi, and called the Marquis of the Ancient Tang Dynasty.

Zhongyang City and Wuyang City of Yan are two important towns located in the north and south of the defense line set up by Yan against Zhao State, facing each other from a distance, and they control the traffic artery of Zhao State to the east of Taihang Mountain. The capture and consolidation of Zhongyang City gave Zhao a strong logistics base for attacking Yan, which marked Zhao's presence east of Daxing Mountain.

In November of the first year, Yan Guo sued for peace, cut the land of Zhongyang Baili, and Zhao Xiangtian returned to China with a single class.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Kuo, the horse service who participated in the battle with the army, shined in this battle, led the army in Wuyuan to kill through the Yan army array, and it was he who sent grain and grass to the defenders of Wuyuan, and when attacking Zhongyang City, the first army to gain a foothold in the city was he who led the soldiers, and in the ambush battle outside Zhongyang City, thanks to his insistence on the escape route of the Yan army, the elite of the Yan army was lost. As a result, Ma Fuzi has also attracted the attention of people all over the world.

When the soldiers were fighting bloodily outside, the situation in the court of Zhao State had new changes.

Due to the strong intervention of Empress Zhao Wei and Tian Dan, the latter faction temporarily dominated the general trend of the court. The clan faction gradually leaned towards it after seeing the reality of the latter faction, and the two were gradually converging.

The other party, the Wang faction and the remnant faction, who had cooperated closely, also had to huddle together to keep warm in the face of such a situation, and under the protection of Zhao Dan and Zhao Jie, they tried to survive the cold political winter.

Handan Palace, Tianshou Palace. In the golden hall, an old man was listening carefully to the words of a young man.

"Since ancient times, the royal family must not have children, otherwise the government will be usurped and the country will perish. Nowadays, the king has only one son and one daughter, all of whom are from the Zhao Li family, and the son is thin, not the image of the royal family, and the minister asks the queen mother to enrich the harem for the king. The young man said righteously.

"Yan Qing, you are too Meng Lang, you should directly advise the king about this matter, and talk to the old body, what is the reason?" The old man smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and then said: "The king is already an adult, if he wants to enrich the harem, he will enrich the harem, do you want me to force the king to spread rain and dew?" ”

"The queen mother is the mother of the king, and it is okay to take a concubine for her son." The young man continued to say solemnly: "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, all over the world, is not the royal family!" ”

"Yan Qing, what you said seems to be quite reasonable, let the old body think about it again!" Zhao Weihou thought about it for a while, and then replied: "If there is nothing else, let's retire first!" ”

"No!" The young man said yes when he heard this, and then slowly withdrew from the Tianshou Palace.

"Where did the king rest last night?" After the young man walked away, Zhao Wei found the female official in the palace and asked.

"The king has been resting with the queen for the past few days." The female officer flipped through Zhao Dan's living note, and then replied.

"Transfer the king's daily life for the past three months to show the old body!" Zhao Weihou continued.

"No!" The female officer answered and also withdrew from the Tianshou Palace. After a while, more than a dozen palace maids moved more than a dozen rolls of bamboo slips and stood in front of Zhao Weihou.

Zhao Weihou slowly walked in front of each palace maid, picked up a scroll of living notes, and read it carefully. For a while, there was almost silence in the Tianshou Palace, only the sound of breathing and the turning of bamboo slips sounded from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Weihou finished reading all the living notes, and said to all the palace maids in the palace without being angry: "No one is allowed to say anything about today's matter, otherwise the old body will make you worse than dead!" Let's all step back for now. ”

As soon as Zhao Weihou's words fell, the maids in the hall fled and left the Tianshou Palace. So only Empress Zhao Wei and Tian Bi, the dowry maid who had accompanied her all her life, were left in the palace.

"Am I really that scary?" Zhao Weihou asked Tian Bi, the personal old slave, with a smile.

"The old slave has always followed Her Royal Highness the Princess, and has never felt that Her Royal Highness is terrible!" Tian Bi also smiled back, and then said: "These maids just haven't seen the world!" ”

Zhao Weihou smiled, and then said self-deprecatingly: "Old, I think at the beginning, we were not similar to them!" ”

Tian Bi also smiled self-deprecatingly when she heard this.

"Let's get down to business!" Zhao Weihou continued: "Just now, the old body looked at the living note, it seems that my son is dedicated to this Zhao Li family!" ”

"Together, we are naturally affectionate!" Tian Bi replied: "Where love goes, it is natural to be favored." ”

"But as Yan Qing said, favoring Zhao Li's family has also caused my son's thin income, which is not a good thing for the country's society." Zhao Weihou continued to confide: "Since the old body was the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, you must plan for the future of the Zhao family, otherwise you will enter the earth in the future, and I am afraid that you will not be able to see the ancestors of the Zhao family." ”

"Then enrich the harem with the mother's life for the king, but ......" Tian Bi paused, and stopped talking.

"You and I have been servants for many years, and if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." Zhao Wei ordered.

Tian Bi continued when he heard this: "According to the rules of the Zhao family, the will of the king to select concubines among the people needs to be stamped with the queen's seal, will the current queen Zhao Li agree?" ”
