Chapter 4

Yin Chu spoke very slowly, and it was very difficult to say every word: "Before you become pro-government, you need to respect the Marquis of Changxin in everything, and don't be impulsive." ”

Yin Changying understood what his father meant: "In the future, there will definitely be people who slander in front of their sons, saying that Changxin Hou has monopoly power, disrespects the king, and intends to rebel." Before the son is fledgling, he must not be shaken by such slander and fold his arms. ”

His answer was formal, official, and nothing wrong.

But Ah Yu, who was "floating" on the side, couldn't help but look at his father in this life, and always felt that his sentence "don't be impulsive" had another deep meaning.

She suspected that Yin Chu already knew about Jiang Zhong entering the palace to see Song Ji last night.

Although Ah Yu "listened" to the whole process and knew that Song Ji and Jiang Zhong really didn't have anything to do yesterday, who knows what the whistleblower would say?

Even if there is no personal relationship, King Zhao's life is in danger, but the queen has a secret meeting with Xiangbang late at night, will she plan anything good?

In other words, any man, at this time, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will have to kill the "adulterer" before I die.

He wants to deal with Jiang Zhong, and the reasons are all ready-made - Gao Qiguan has been lost, should you, as the head of the ministers, step down?

The minister, who has a strong personality, even didn't need King Zhao to say, he directly committed suicide to apologize.

But Yin Chu endured it.

Because Yin Chu knew that it would be easy to let Jiang Zhong step down, but the next courtier in power, who knows if he has a bad heart?

It's not nice to say, let Jiang Zhong step down today, and tomorrow others will be able to replace the young King Zhao!

Jiang Zhong is not in a thousand ways, but his benefits are also obvious, first, he is not a Zhao person, and he has no foundation in Zhao Kingdom; Second, as a descendant of the Xia royal family, he was "willing to be obscene and run a lowly servitude" and went to business. And no matter how rich a businessman is, he is always despised by the nobles.

That is, Zhaoguo, there are many upstarts who have risen to the top with military merits, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, so that Jiang Zhong can be tolerated and tried in other countries? The ancestors are not the three emperors and five emperors, and the family is not a minister for many generations, and he is not even qualified to be an official, let alone be a minister of a country!

Yin Chu knows better than anyone that Jiang Zhong can sit firmly in the position of Xiangbang depends on nothing more than two points, one is the trust of the king, and the other is the great merit of expanding the territory.

And the latter is completely consistent with King Zhao's position.

With Jiang Zhongzhi's shrewdness, he naturally knows that his net worth and life have long been firmly tied to the status and safety of Song Ji and Yin Changying's mother and son, and even the fate of Zhaoguo.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Zhong is prime minister for one day, he will die to protect Yin Changying for one day, and he will never relax the pace of Zhaoguo's foreign development.

That's enough.

Yin Chu coughed a few times: "What else?" ”

Yin Changying understood what his father meant, and after thinking for a while, he gave a plan: "Although the son respects the Marquis of Changxin, he can't obey his orders. For generals, they should be rewarded for their merits, and if they have faults, they will be killed or pardoned depending on whether the person is available. ”

"To Zhu people, give Anquan Juntian house, gold and silver, and beautiful women, and no real power. Chu Qi and Chu Huan were quite talented, so they told their sons poems, books, and history, and gave them a princess to continue their in-law relationship. ”

Hearing this, Yin Chu couldn't help but nod with relief.

This well-versed king knows very well that once he dies, even if Yin Changying succeeds to the throne, he will not be crowned until he is twenty years old.

In the seven or eight years of this time, if Jiang Zhong is really allowed to say the same, it may not be possible that the tragedy of the Tian family on behalf of Chen will not happen.

After all, whether you can sit firmly is one thing, and usurping the throne is another.

What if Jiang Zhong is in power and is touted by the villain, thinking that King Zhao can sit on the throne himself?

In order to guard against this possibility, Yin Changying must do three things before he is not in power.

First, Jiang Zhong is trusted in military affairs, and no matter who slanders, he will ignore it; second, find a way to hold the army firmly in your hands; Third, you can't really make Jiang Zhong decide everything big and small, and you need to create certain enemies for Jiang Zhong.

Those Zhu people who stayed in Zhaoguo are very good chess pieces.

Since King Hui, four successive generations of the royal family have married with Zhu Guo, and Zhu Zhao is not uncommon. Many famous ministers and good generals in Zhao are Zhu people, forming a large force in Zhao State.

Among the two current Queen Mothers of Dazhao, Yin Chu's mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Shouyang, is the daughter of the Zhuguo Sect. And in Yin Chu's harem, there is no shortage of noble girls.

An Quanjun is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Shouyang, who is greedy and incompetent, so he only gives Tian Zhai gold and silver and other physical goods, and does not allow this person to interfere in national affairs.

Chu Qi and Chu Huan are the sons of the current King Zhu and Princess Zhaoguo, and they are Yin Changying's cousins in terms of seniority.

In this way, the people will be divided into two forces, An Quanjun is jealous of the power of the Chu brothers, and the Chu brothers, as the descendants of the royal family, will naturally not bow to the clan. They will fight among themselves, but when it comes to facing Jiang Zhong, they will hold together again.

This is the best state in King Zhao's heart, in Zhao's wish - not enough of a threat, but it is a force that cannot be ignored and can be used by Zhao.

Besides, these people are all "their own relatives", and the king uses his relatives, which is a matter of course, who can refute it?

More importantly, according to the rules of Zhaoguo, before Yin Changying was not in power, major military affairs must be stamped with the double seals of King Zhao and the Queen Mother, and the edict can be effective.

Song Ji is incompetent, confused, and easy to control, and Yin Chu must beware of the power in the hands of this woman causing damage to the country.

So he asked Yin Changying to promote Zhuren and use Queen Shouyang to contain Song Ji.

But at the same time, Yin Chu also knew very well that the destructive power of ten Song Ji was not as good as that of one Queen Mother Shouyang. Because Song Ji doesn't understand politics, but the Empress Dowager Shouyang does.

Even if Song Ji has no political wisdom, she understands that her son is her talisman, Yin Changying is here, she is the queen mother, Yin Changying is gone, she is nothing.

And the Empress Dowager Shouyang can only cooperate with her, which is absolutely not credible.

If it weren't for the purpose of containing the Empress Dowager Shouyang, when Yin Chu succeeded to the throne, he would not have tore his face personally, and he had to set up his biological mother Xia Ji as the empress dowager at the same time, which caused an unprecedented situation where the empress dowager of the two palaces stood side by side.

It stands to reason that he passed on to the Empress Dowager Shouyang, and nominally has nothing to do with his biological mother. But the king is shameless, and if he wants to do a small thing that does not affect the country, he can often succeed.

Although the Empress Dowager Xia is cowardly and incompetent, she has the identity of "Queen Mother", so she has her usefulness.

Yin Chu noticed that his strength was gradually declining, and he was afraid that he didn't have much time, so he took stock of the things in Zhao Kingdom, inside and outside, and then asked: "Zhao, what will happen internally, and what will happen externally?" ”

"Internally, recuperate, retrain and strengthen the army, reward fierce generals, ministers and lobbyists, absorb talents from all over the world, first take Gaoqi Pass, and then take Anye and Changming two counties." Yin Changying said without hesitation, "If Gaoqi Pass is not recaptured within fifteen years, my son will ask Zhu Guo to marry a princess and be my queen of Jokhang." ”

Yin Chu reminded: "There is also Ah Yu." ”

This sentence surprised both Yin Changying and Ah Yu.

They didn't expect that when they were dying, Yin Chu would still think of her.

In Ah Yu's memory, this father was a passerby to her at all.

In the past four years, Yin Chu has only seen her a handful of times, and the father and daughter have spent no more than a day together, and they have said less than a hundred words.

Ah Yu thought that this King Zhao had forgotten her daughter at all.

I saw Yin Chu advise: "If Zheng Guo recovers, you must marry Ah Yu to Zheng Guo to become the queen." ”
