Chapter 604: Transformation
Zhao Hou was grateful to Zhou Shao in his heart, but he was unwilling to blame the prince in person, provoking Zhao Xi to seek death again. Zhao Hou spoke for Zhou Shao and said: "Doctor Zhao, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, your life was saved by General Zhou, even if the force of pushing you is too fierce, so that you can't bear it, but without this push, I'm afraid you will also be bloodstained in my Handan Palace Palace." ”
Zhao Xi's face was red and white for a while, a little annoyed and a little ashamed. He was impulsive and anxious just now, because he was worried that Zhao Hou would punish the prince and even abolish the status of Prince Zhao Yong, so how should Zhao Xi explain to his wife Meng Di.
Zhao Yong is also Meng Di's nephew and the hope of the Meng family, if such a terrible ending is caused by an untimely admonition that he pulled into the palace, then Meng Di must refuse to spare himself, maybe the husband and wife will break up because of this.
After all, in this world, it is common for a woman to divorce her husband and leave her husband's house, just as it is normal for a husband to divorce his wife.
Zhao Xi is a person with extreme self-esteem, although he is unwilling to seek death and life, but he is still unconvinced, he replied to Zhao Hou: "The advice of Weichen is not his own private opinion, and many ministers of Zhao State have the same opinion as me. Presumably, the monarch also knows the Tao, that is Zhao Rong, the younger brother of the Zhao family, and he is also a person who strongly opposes the convening of the joint vertical conference. ”
"Weichen can no longer speak, but Zhao Rong and other ministers are probably still unconvinced. The monarch can't help but take care of the opinions of the subjects of Zhao State. ”
Zhao Hou listened to Zhao Xi's words, not only did he not pay attention to it, but he laughed out loud, Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Hou strangely, I don't know why he laughed.
Zhao Hou held back a smile and said, "Doctor Zhao, you are too worried, your personal opposition to Zhao Guo holding a joint conference does not mean that others must have the same opinion as you. It's a shame that you still talk about Zongzheng and Zhao Rong, and people have changed a lot. ”
Since Zhao Xi returned to Handan, he has not been to the court, so he has never seen Zhao Rong, how could he know that Zhao Rong is actually the first to be at both ends, and his attitude has become so fast.
Zhao Xi muttered to himself in confusion: "How is this possible, I remember that he was the leader before, and he was the most opposed to the alliance, and he also personally found me to join forces." What's going on here? ”
Zhao Hou said: "Only you, Dr. Zhao Xi, hit your head against the south wall and don't come back, everyone will turn around, why do you just bite a thought." Let's just talk about the joint admonition, but it didn't push you to the forefront, and people hid behind the scenes. You also have to reflect on yourself, don't always be seen as a bird. ”
Zhao Hou knows Zhao Xi very well, many years ago Su Qin was appointed as the prime minister of Zhao State, he was the first person to be pushed out to admonish at the Prime Minister's Worship Ceremony, but the words were not adopted, but made Zhao Hou very dissatisfied with him.
Later, in matters such as opposing Zhao Guo's holding of the joint vertical conference, he was repeatedly pushed to the fore and acted as a pawn, but Zhao Xi was never tired of it. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Hou himself still had a little bit of a good impression of his rectum, and was replaced by a monarch who couldn't deeply understand the character of the minister, Zhao Xi would have become cannon fodder on the way forward for others.
Zhao Hou taught Zhao Xi a few words in person, wanting him to sober up, and then he continued: "At the court meeting this morning, Zhao Rong, the head of the family, formally proposed to the widow that he should personally invite the princes and envoys from all walks of life who came to participate in the conference in the name of the clan surnamed Zhao. ”
Zhao Xi's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, with an incredible expression, how could he believe that Zhao Rong, who had sworn to stand in the same camp as him before, actually took a step ahead of himself and became a person who supported the alliance of the alliance and the alliance of the alliance and the emperor of the alliance of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the emperor and the emperor of the alliance of the alliance and the emperor of the alliance of the alliance and the emperor of the alliance of the alliance and the emperor of the alliance
Zhao Xi secretly scolded in his heart: "Okay, you old and cunning Zhao Rong, at the critical moment, you became a shrinking turtle and turned into a good person, but instead put me Zhao Xi on the fire for barbecue." Zhao Xi no longer had to listen to Zhao Hou's lesson honestly at this time, and he lowered his head in shame.
Zhao Hou said: "Everything has to be flexible, it is impossible to do everything according to your wishes, if things do not go in your direction, you can't just care about opposition, and don't know how to tolerate it." ”
Zhao Hou said, and also looked at his son Zhao Yong, he is the crown prince, Zhao Hou's words are undoubtedly for his son. Zhao Yong was afraid of his father's gaze and didn't dare to look directly, he lowered his head and didn't speak, but he felt that this was wrong, so he hurriedly nodded lightly.
Zhao Hou saw that the prince had a little reaction, so he no longer trained people with a straight face. Zhao Hou said to Su Qin: "Since the widow's younger brother Zongzheng Zhao Rong has this kind intention, the widow also thinks it is very appropriate. The widow's reception of the envoys could be officially held on the night of the alliance of the Huanshui Conference, which was a banquet held in the name of the Zhao State. But before that, Zongzheng Zhao Rong came forward to entertain the guests in the name of the Zhao clan, and it was even more polite and thoughtful. ”
Su Qin didn't want to arrange a lot of protocol entertainment before the meeting, it would be easy to cause extraneous branches, even if he himself was not ready to hold a banquet in the peach garden to entertain all the envoys.
He thought carefully for a long time, and hesitated. Zhao Hou had already promised his younger brother Zhao Rong in the morning, how could he go back on his word.
Therefore, when Zhao Hou saw that Su Qin was indecisive, he persuaded: "Prime Minister Su, don't worry, this younger brother of the widow, although he has opposed the Hezong Conference before, but after all, he is the descendant of the Zhao family, and he still puts the overall situation first." Now, he made this suggestion, and the widow thought it was good, so he agreed to him, hoping that the prime minister would not stop him. ”
Su Qin heard that Zhao Hou had promised Zhao Rong, and the wood was already in the boat, so what else did he have to hesitate, he had to nod and promise: "If the minister does not object, it is, but it is up to the king to decide." ”
Zhao Hou said: "Well, that's right. Since you don't object, on the day of the banquet, Prime Minister Su Cheng must go to enjoy the light, otherwise the envoys of various countries will not be able to see Prime Minister Su, and I am afraid they will also feel surprised. ”
Zhao Xi thought about asking Zhao Rong face to face: "Why did he change his hexagram so quickly!" He took the initiative to make a request and said: "Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to go to the banquet on the day to celebrate the grand event, I don't know if the king agrees." ”
Zhao Hou thought that Zhao Xi had turned a corner, he was very relieved, and replied: "It is a great thing that Doctor Zhao Xi can have this self-awakening, since you yourself are willing to go, why shouldn't the widow allow you?" ”
He thought for a moment, and then said: "The widow didn't want to show up too early before the meeting, since Dr. Zhao Xi is willing to go, then you can accompany the prince to go with you." ”
