Due to the fragmentation of the memory of his previous life, Ah Yu only remembered that Emperor Zhao Yin Changying swept Liuhe and dominated the world, but he died violently on the way. With his death, the invincible Dazhao also went to an end in just a few years.

But who knows what happened in the process?

Those people who have appeared in the history books or have not been mentioned, they are all living people, and they also have their own thoughts, not the cold words in the history books.

is like her father in this life, King Zhao Yin Chu.

The one shown in the history books is almost a commodity in Jiang Zhong's hands. It seems that Yin Chu's ascension to the throne is all handled by Jiang Zhong, and Yin Chu himself is so cowardly that he can do nothing, first he can only be driven to Zheng Guo to be a proton, and then he can only let Jiang Zhong fiddle.

But Ah Yu really lives in Zhaoguo, and after understanding the system of Zhaoguo, he will find that he is very wrong!

After the reform of the self-defense monarch of Zhaoguo, for nearly a hundred years, the policies set by the monarch have been strictly implemented from top to bottom, and there is one of them - the son of Zhaoguo, if he has no meritorious service, he is no different from the common people.

It means that even if your father is King Zhao, as long as you are not the prince, then you want to lie down and be a noble lord? No way! You must make meritorious contributions to the country before you can be crowned an official and a knight, otherwise you will be driven out to be an ordinary person.

As for what constitutes meritorious service?

Quite simply, there are only two ways - war exploits, and, to go to other countries as protons.

Several generations of kings of Zhao, King Xiang, King Wen, and now King Chu of Zhao, all have the experience of being a proton, so they have more capital to compete for the throne.

Therefore, Yin Chu is not a pitiful little man who was driven to be a proton at all, he took the initiative to ask for help in order to accumulate credit, and took his life to gamble on a rich and noble madman.

If you win, you are alone, and if you lose, you will have no bones.

And at this moment, this crazy gambler in charge of Zhaoguo ordered the guards to stay at the gate of the palace from afar, and the servants in the palace retreated, leaving only the eldest son Yin Changying alone.

Ah Yu was very curious.

What will Yin Chu explain to Yin Changying before he dies? Will these words have an extremely far-reaching impact on "Emperor Zhao", and even directly determine the trend of two thousand years?

It would be nice if you could "hear" or even "see".

She was thinking like this, but she suddenly felt light, as if her soul had left her body, and she unconsciously flew towards King Zhao's bedroom.

In King Zhao's bedroom, the doors and windows are closed.

The fiery midday sun shines through the window paper and onto the smooth stone slabs, bringing a dazzling light; In the depths of the palace, however, there were only flickering lights, reflecting the withered face of the dying king, flickering and dark, and full of shadows.

King Zhao's bed had been moved to the wall, and Yin Chu sat against the wall with difficulty.

Due to the torture of illness, the king who was in the prime of life had already lost weight, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, and he stared firmly at the eldest son kneeling in front of the couch: "Chang Ying, do you know, why did Lone make you the crown prince?" ”

Yin Changying, who is not yet thirteen years old, is close to eight feet tall, his figure is the unique emaciation of a teenager, but he has a maturity beyond his age.

Obviously, he had thought about this question repeatedly for a long time, so he calmly replied: "Back to the father, the son does not know." ”

Yin Changying knew very well that his father didn't have much affection for their mother and son, otherwise he wouldn't have let them struggle in Zheng Guo for five years, but he never mentioned the matter of taking them back.

Although a large part of this was due to the fact that his great-grandfather was still on the throne at the time, the old king had already gone mad at war, and he was the only one in the country, and no one could oppose him. My grandfather and father are not in a stable position, and it is difficult to protect themselves, let alone be distracted to manage others.

But as soon as King Xiang died, his successor, King Wen, lingered on the sickbed, and Yin Chu, as the crown prince, was in charge of state affairs, and he had monopoly power, but he still did not take the initiative to ask Zheng Guo for Song Ji's mother and son, so that Zheng Guo originally wanted to take the opportunity to extort some benefits, but finally found that this was a hot potato, and had to take the initiative to send the two back.

It can be said that Yin Chu's move went through certain political considerations and finally got a good result. But in turn, it can prove that he doesn't care about Song Ji's mother and son.

No one can guarantee that Zheng Guozhen will send them back, and it is not impossible to keep them in his hands as hostages, didn't Zhaoguo pinch King Zhu's eldest son Chu Qi and second son Chu Zhu, and never send them back to Zhuguo?

Hearing his son's answer, Yin Chu was not the slightest dissatisfied, because he knew that Yin Changying was not really unaware of this question, otherwise Yin Changying would have answered the standard answer of "orderly young and old".

But obviously, the real reason is not this.

Yin Changying can't say it clearly, because I am better than my half-brother, so you made me the crown prince, and the son and the noble mother made my mother the queen, completely consolidating my identity. And not because, I am your firstborn.

After all, this truth violates the secular perception of "primogeniture".

Being able to realize this, Yin Changying is already much better than the vast majority of his peers.

In this world, there are so many fools who think that the inheritance of the eldest son is a matter of course, just like the common people kneel down to worship the minister, and the minister's allegiance to the Son of Heaven is the eternal principle of heaven as the rising sun and the setting of the moon.

But don't they want to think about how the Xia Dynasty fell if everyone was reasonable? How was the Jin Kingdom divided? How was the state of Chen stolen and usurped by his courtiers?

"Ah Zheng, listen up." Yin Chu said word by word, very solemnly, "'The words of the sages' and 'rules of etiquette' are only used to control the courtiers. As a king, you just need to know your environment, what you have to do, and what the people around you should do. Then, threaten it and lure it to profit! ”

"Whoa!"

Yin Changying solemnly agreed, but Yin Chu was afraid that his son would not remember it well enough, even if he had to endure the pain of the hammer in every sentence, and it was very difficult to speak, he still carefully explained Yin Changying's doubts: "Everyone in the world can be the heir of the father and the king, because Jiang Zhong, the Marquis of Changxin, bribed Mrs. Shouyang with a lot of money." As everyone knows, if you are lonely and have no great achievements, and are remembered by your father and ancestors, everything will be in vain. ”

This is also the most proud thing in Yin Chu's life.

His biological mother was extremely unfavored, and his father and grandfather didn't even remember him as a person! As a result, Yin Chu didn't even have the opportunity to read and write, let alone practice martial arts.

Illiterate and martial arts means that in Zhao's system, even if he joins the army, he can only be a pawn, not an officer, even if he is a prince and grandson! But if he is not an officer, how can he enter the eyes of his father and ancestors?

Yin Chu has always longed for a chance to get ahead, not to be driven out of the palace when he grows up like a servant, and become a commoner, running a lowly job, and running around for a living all day long!

And in his life, there is only one chance to come out, that is, his uncle mourns the death of the prince!

The crown prince died of illness, and naturally a new prince was needed. The first candidate in the nomination is King Xiang's second son, Yin Chu's father An Guojun, who later became King Wen.

But at that time, An Guojun was sent to Zheng Guo as a proton, and if he wanted to fight for the crown prince, he had to return to China as soon as possible.

At this time, he was faced with a problem, Zhao must have a proton in Zheng, who will change An Guojun back?

If no one is willing to change An Guojun back, then it is likely that the result is that the crown prince will not fall into the hands of An Guojun at all. Before he returned home, the whole thing would be settled.

An Guojun's brothers naturally refused to give up the opportunity to compete for the crown prince, and went to Zheng Guo to be a proton, and the candidate for this proton could only be chosen from his son.

But at that time, the relationship between Zhao and Zheng deteriorated for a while, and everyone could see that in order to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, within a few years, there would be a big war between Zhao and Zheng. If you go to Zheng Guo to be a proton, you will probably lose your life.

At this time, Yin Chu, who was the most unfavored and almost forgotten by everyone, jumped out and said, I am willing to go to Zheng Guo to exchange for my father.
