Chapter 313: The Tiger Father Produces the Dog
The main seat of the Zhongjun tent was vacant, Zhiyan and Zhiguo each knelt on one side, and in front of them, the Zhi clan, the retainer lord, and the Zhiyao disciple stood in three groups according to their respective identities and positions, and there was a faint tendency of opposition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, if you count by generation, Zhiguo is Zhiyan's grandparents, and Zhiyan is not qualified to sit with him at all, but in the order of inheritance, Zhiyan is far superior to Zhiguo.
The Zhou system is the eldest son who succeeds to the throne, which is a large sect, and the rest of the houses automatically become small sects. There is no eldest son before it is the turn of the second son, although now that the rites are broken, no one strictly abides by these, but the rules are the rules, once someone brings it up without enough reason, no one can break it, and if it is true about inheritance qualifications, Zhiguo is not even as good as Zhiyan's younger brothers.
From a practical point of view, Zhijia now needs a mature head of family who can control the overall situation. The so-called Guolai Changjun, for a family in troubled times, the harm of Huangkou Zhi'er in charge of the family is far greater than the rebellion within the family, so even if it is really Zhiguo who murdered Zhiboyao, as long as Zhiguo denies it, the people of the Zhiguo family can only grit their teeth and swallow this bitter fruit.
In addition to Zhiyan.
What will happen to the abandoned eldest son, even if Zhiyan is not familiar with the world, he will never hear or see it, he must fight, otherwise he will die inexplicably one day
Zhiguo may not do this, but as an unstable factor in splitting the family, Zhiyan's existence itself is a threat to the Zhiguo, and the number of people who are willing to take the initiative to help Zhiguo do this unspeakable thing will be unimaginably more after Zhiguo really takes power.
Sacrificing the position that should belong to him for the sake of the family, and even sacrificing his own life, he has always been sheltered under Zhiyao's wings, how could Zhiyan, who is pampered, be willing to accept it like this?
Moreover, the strength to support himself now is not weak, and his father, who has always been strong, is not unprepared, even if he dies in a hurry, he still leaves himself a big hole card - a hole card that is enough to turn the tables or save his life.
"I'm not greedy for a high position, it's just that current events have to do it. Yan'er, I swear by heaven that I will treat your brothers well, and when the Zhi family gets through the current crisis, I will return it to you and others in its entirety. "When Zhiguo was pushed into this position, he knew that today's matter was difficult to give up, as the most suspicious person, he sat in this position and at the same time sat down to murder Zhi Boyao, it was difficult to escape the pen of the historian, and the reputation of later generations is estimated to be inseparable from the murder of the master.
However, he didn't have a choice, for the sake of the Zhi family, it was already the best choice for him to sit in this position, and the reputation of the future generations was really out of mind at the moment.
Now in order not to split within the family, he is making the last pale effort. As long as Zhiyan gives up the competition, the faction that supports him will lose the backbone, and the Zhijia will be preserved to the greatest extent.
"Uncle and grandfather......" Zhiyan is actually willing to believe Zhiguo's promise, but how can this kind of thing be guaranteed by a promise? Zhiguo said that he was willing to return to Zhiyan, so is Zhiguo's son willing? Are those who follow the wisdom fruit and reap the benefits willingly?
Zhiyan just lacks experience, and he is not as naïve as he imagined when he was exposed to political struggles since he was a child.
After a brief silence, he chose to remain silent.
This is a smart decision, even if it fails in the end, it can be regarded as leaving a way back for yourself not to be killed on the spot. But all the people of the Zhi family shook their heads, and gave up their last hope for him.
For the head of the family, wisdom and wisdom naturally have the help of a guest strategist, and the first thing to have is the courage to move forward.
When the victory or defeat is not scored, you don't even have the courage to fight to the death, so why should the people below go with you?
After all, "Rush me!" And "Rush with me!" "In terms of expression, they are two completely different directions.
The retainers and lords were also disappointed. They all have their own selfish intentions, and now they have one less leader to fight against Zhiguo. Originally, Zhi Boyao did have a lot of flaws in his personality, but at this time, he would definitely stand up and show that everyone here is rubbish, and this kind of self-sacrificing momentum will invisibly offend many people, but he is also very capable of holding together with his own people.
The momentum on Zhiyan's side suddenly stagnated.
"Since this is the case, then we will make Zhiguo the head of the family and Zhiyan as the son, what do you think?" The elder of the Zhi family in the back row stood up in time and gave his opinion seemingly fairly.
This is also equivalent to the decision of the Zhi family, although Zhi Yan is given the second priority, it is equivalent to giving up completely in fact.
Zhiyan had already realized that he had made a big mistake just now when he was cowardly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Wait!"
At this time, Shen Buxian suddenly stood forward with a happy face. He had just received the news that the secret sentinel that had been arranged around Zhiguo's tent by an idle man had gained something, and he had caught the secret envoys of Han Wei who had contacted Zhiguo two days ago.
These secret envoys are really fierce, and they still killed half of the elite guards in the siege, and most of them also chose to commit suicide at the first time, but in the end, they still caught two live mouths, and they have been escorted outside the tent of the Chinese army at this time.
Shen is also helpless, among these retainers, he is the most powerful one who jumps out of the ground, if Zhiguo is really in power, even if it is to kill chickens and scare monkeys, he will not have his own good fruit to eat, Zhiyan retreated at this time, and had to force him to the forefront.
With his identity, he was not qualified to fight with Zhiguo in the first place, but now it is different, he has enough evidence in his hand to identify Zhiguo as the murderer of Zhi Boyao!
Even if everyone knows that it may have been done by Zhiguo, as long as no one points out it, everyone can tacitly assume that this incident has not happened. But if there is solid evidence to prove this, whether it is the people of the Zhi family or the retainers, for whatever reason, they have to be forced to abandon him.
The name of righteousness, sometimes it is indeed not as good as bullshit, but sometimes it is the underwear that covers the last bit of privacy, once it is revealed, anyone who is a little shameless has to protect this last bit of fig leaf.
For example, Zhiyan, if there is tangible evidence that Zhiguo designed to kill Zhi Boyao, then he can only choose revenge. The hatred of killing his father is not shared, and if he can't do this, he just won't be a son of man, and he won't even have the qualifications to be a man.
The same applies to the disciples raised by Zhi Boyao, as long as they still want to be individuals, then they have no choice.
All eyes were suddenly focused on the camp gate.
"Inhuman, Zhiguo!" An angry voice with a muffled snort of pain, the messenger who was kicked in was a follower of a member of the Amaterasu Space martial arts team, and the identity of the C-class plot character also had a bit of a say. The other is an ordinary plot character in this world, who is now trembling with fear.
With just this sentence, the clansmen of the Zhi clan invariably pulled out the blades in their hands and stabbed them, while Shen Buxian and several other retainers and lords protected him behind.
Zhiyan's body trembled slightly, and one hand grabbed the mat on the ground hard, and his knuckles became a little twisted from excessive force.
"It's not a pity for me to die!" The messenger's hands were tied, his face was full of sneers, and he motioned for Shen Buxian to take out a silk document from his arms, and then stopped talking, just closed his eyes and waited for death.
"After the deed is completed, there will be 3,000 households in Fanchuan, and Quyang in the Ueda clan and the Vayu clan." Shen Buxian said aloud. The handwriting on the silk is slightly blurred, but it can still be clearly distinguished, and under this handwriting, it is covered with Zhiguo's private seal.
This instrument is true!
