Chapter 5 The Lord's Coming

Handan, in the palace.

Since the founding of the Zhao family, it has changed the capital four times. First the capital was Jinyang, then the capital was moved to Daicheng, then the capital was Zhongmou, and finally the capital was established in Handan in the first year of Zhao Jinghou. Therefore, Handan is far less than the hundreds-year-old big cities such as Linzi and Yingdu. Even compared with the new cities such as Weiliang and Xianyang, it is much worse.

Zhao Di is bitter cold, and the people are close to Hu Feng, so most of the monarchs of all dynasties do not advocate luxury. Even the structure of Handan City is like a huge war fortress, not like a bustling capital of a great country.

In the same way, the construction of the Zhao Palace is also much rougher, far less exquisite and ingenious than that of Qi Chu, nor as luxurious as Qin and Wei.

After noon, the sound of reading loudly came from the hall, and the old and young people in the hall sat opposite each other. The elder was dressed in a crown and a Confucian robe. He was holding bamboo slips in his hand and talking. He was fully dressed as a scribe, but his face was a little dark, which did not look like the Chinese people, but like Rongdi.

The young man is a young man in gorgeous clothes. He is about twelve or three years old. He is fair-looking and handsome. Although he has been staring at the slips on the table, he is a little absent-minded.

The palace man who came in from the palace door bent down carefully lowered his head, gently replaced the melon and fruit tea on the table with fresh, and was about to bow his head and retreat. But he heard a heavy cold hum, and then a loud noise, and the fruit basin in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die." The palace man was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

Feiyi waved his hand with a gloomy face and said, "Go down, this has nothing to do with you."

"No." The palace's heart was relaxed, but his face did not dare to be different. He quickly bowed and stepped out.

"Does the king know what's wrong?" Fei Yi didn't look at the messy bamboo slips that were smashed on the table. He stood up and looked directly at Zhao He, looking extremely stern.

Zhao He looked away with a little guilty, and Nuonuo said, "I... What's wrong with me?"

Fei Yi snorted coldly and said with his back, "In the past, King Wei Huiwen died, and Mencius saw the new king and left. Left and right strange, asked, Mencius said, "It doesn't look like a man."

"Today, the king is absent-minded when he hears the way of the former king. Looking at his words and deeds, he is afraid that he is not a wise king. As a Taifu, the old minister is incumbent. Please give an edict to remove the position of Feiyi and put me in prison. After saying that, Fei Yi came forward and knelt down.

Zhao He panicked. He hurriedly sat down to help Feiyi and said, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong. I'm wrong. Master, don't torture me anymore. It's all my fault. Get up quickly."

When Fei Yi saw that Zhao He was willing to admit his mistake, he stood up and said, "Since the king has admitted his mistake, he should be punished. Please copy ten articles of Spring and Autumn. If you do it again next time, you should be punished twice."

As soon as Zhao He heard that he wanted to copy the book, he suddenly became bitter and knew that it was difficult to change the idea of Feiyi, so he had to nod and agree with an aggrieved face.

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by a burst of applause outside the palace gate, and a burst of loud laughter followed.

"Fat-right, fat-right, you are indeed the minister of my widow. In the face of today's king, you can directly point out his mistakes. Who else in the world is there besides your Feiyi? It seems that I entrust He Er to you, which is really an excellent choice.

Zhao He was overjoyed, hurriedly looked out of the door, and jumped up with a cheer.

"Father, what do you want to die?"

Zhao He hugged Zhao Yong and buried his head deeply in his arms. He is a burly man with a dragon face and a bird's beak. His face is black and light, his chest is three feet open, and his appearance is extremely powerful. He is Zhao Yong, the father of the State of Zhao today.

Zhao Yong also laughed, hugged his beloved son in his arms hard, turned three times before stopping, and the corners of his eyes were faintly moist.

The fat man beside him smiled and bowed slightly and took a step back. His heart was also moved by the father and son.

Zhao Yong has three sons. The eldest son is the prince, that is, the deposed prince of the previous dynasty; the second son is Zhao He, the king of Zhao today. The young son Zhao Shengshang is in a baby. Prince Zhang has been the crown prince for more than ten years and has been trained as an heir by Zhao Yong, so he has many military achievements and is loved by military generals. Originally, Zhao Zhang succeeded to the throne, but an incident that happened in the 16 years of King Zhao Wuling caused a crisis in the position of his crown prince.

That year, Zhao Yong traveled to the tomb. One day, he dreamed of a girl playing the piano and singing: "The beauty is shining, and the face is full of glory. Life is a matter of life, and there has never been a me.

Zhao Yong was very nostalgic for the girl in his dream. He told everyone about the dream at the banquet and specifically described the image of the girl. After hearing this, Minister Wu Guang felt that the girl Zhao Yong said was too much like his daughter Meng Yao, so he dedicated Meng Yao to Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong spoiled Meng Yao very much, and Zhao people called him Wu Wa. In the next three years, Zhao Zhang's biological mother, the former queen, died of illness, and Wu Wa became King Zhao. In a few years, she gave birth to Prince He for Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong loved him very much.

With no too many teenagers, Wu Wa died of illness. Before her death, she had never asked Zhao Yong to let Zhao He sit in the position of prince. So Zhao Yong abolished Zhao Zhang with tears, made Zhao He the crown prince, and then Zen in him, claiming to be Zhao's father. Zhao He lost his mother when he was a child. Naturally, he was very dependent on this father, but Zhao Yong led the army for many years, and it was really difficult to meet him.

Zhao Yong patted Zhao He on the shoulder with a smile for a long time, and then reluctantly let go and looked back at Feiyi with a smile. Feiyi took a step forward and bowed and said, "See your father."

"Exemption from courtesy." Zhao Yong stretched out his hand to help him, and Fei Yi stood up straight.

Zhao Yong took a step forward and joked, "I said, old brother, do you use these false gifts between you and me? It seems much more strange. Look at our brothers back then, and you still talk about these false salutes all day long. It's annoying to watch.

Feiyi cautiously retreated slightly and said in a humble voice, "The etiquette of kings and ministers cannot be abandoned. If you can naturally be simple in the army, you can live above the court."

Zhao Yong laughed and patted Fei Yi's shoulder hard. "You are obviously a savage, but you value these sages and Zhou Gong's gifts more than us. It's strange."

Fei Yi smiled and heard that Zhao Yong was joking with him and didn't pay attention to it. He was similar to Zhao Yong in his age. When Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, he began to assist him wholeheartedly. At the beginning, Zhao Yong tried his best to help him when he rode and shot in Hufu. Now that Zhao Yong has devoted himself to the military after his abdication, almost all the political affairs in the country are handed over to Feiyi to help the young Zhao He. It can be seen that Zhao Yong's deep trust in him is no longer the simple righteousness of kings and ministers, but a brotherhood.

This is Zhao He interrupting: "Father, didn't you just write a few days ago that you just came out of the frontier of Qin, why did you return to Handan so quickly?"

Zhao Yong sat on the throne and said with a smile when he heard the words, "Wang'er, you guess what your father is thinking, so that let me see if you have grown up during this period."

When Zhao He saw that his father sat on the throne that should have belonged to him at will, he did not feel anything wrong, but tilted his head to concentrate on it. On the contrary, a trace of strange color flashed on Feiyi's face, and a little worry appeared in his eyes, but Zhao Yong didn't realize it.

"Oh... I know. My father must have done it on purpose. In this way, people with ulterior motives are caught off guard, right." Zhao He figured out the key and said excitedly.

Zhao Yonghan nodded with a smile and said with satisfaction, "Yes, Wang Er has finally grown up and can guess what her father is thinking. You should remember that for the king, you must let your subordinates think about your thoughts at all times, but never let them know your whereabouts. I traveled in a light car, and there was no brigade of guards to follow me on the road. If there was a scheme who wanted to be unfavorable to me, I was afraid that it would change. So I walked day and night, but I sent messengers to inform them first, which was also the way to protect myself. You are already the king of Zhao. Remember this at all times. At any time, you should firmly hold the initiative in your hand so that others can't guess what you are thinking. Do you understand?

Zhao He nodded as if he didn't understand and said, "I understand a little, and I don't understand a little. Father, let me go back and think about it."

"There is no need to worry. Your father is still in the heyday of spring and autumn. It's not a problem to live for more than ten years. With me, I will be able to hand over a strong State of Zhao to you." Speaking of this, Zhao Yong looked at Zhao He's eyes full of expectations, then looked back at Feiyi and said with a smile, "Feiyi, it seems that you have been doing your best for more than a year. You should remember a lot for you."

Fei Yi slightly bowed; "The master's father is overreputed, and the minister is Taifu. What's the credit for teaching the king to be my part? The rewards of the Lord and His Majesty should be mostly used for the meritorious men in the frontier. They are the pillars of Da Zhao.

Zhao Yong waved his hand and insisted, "This is not right. Of course, those who have meritorious deeds in the frontier should be rewarded, and the meritorious ministers in the court should also be rewarded. You have carefully taught me the king of Zhao and cultivated a generation of wise masters, which is the great achievement of my Zhao Kingdom. It should be rewarded, it should be rewarded!"

After saying that, he didn't give Fei Yi a chance to refuse, so he looked at Zhao He with a smile and said, "Wang Er, I'll test you again. What kind of reward should Xiangbang give according to Zhao Lv?"

Zhao He has already been familiar with Zhao Lv many times. After thinking about it for a while, he already had an idea in his heart, so he said aloudly, "I told my father that the king, the merit of the state lies in the community, as a bounty of a hundred catties, plus thousands of households."

Zhao Yong nodded, "It's settled." Looking at Feiyi again, a trace of joking flashed in his eyes and said, "What do you think of your students? Is it in line with the law of the country?"

Zhao Yong's questioning like this made Feiyi laugh and cry. It's not good to say "not good" or "good".

If you say "not good", it is obviously against the king's edict. Moreover, what Zhao He concluded is based on Zhao Lv, and there is no fault. If you say "good", it seems to be shameless. It was really a dilemma, so I had to bow and smile bitterly and said, "Master, stop playing with the old minister. I have not been your opponent for more than 20 years. I am really afraid of you."

Zhao Yongfei and Yi looked at each other and smiled, but they couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere in the hall was happy.

"Wang'er, you go and issue the imperial edict to reward the state first."

"No." Zhao He took the order loudly and hurriedly turned around and left.

When Zhao He went far away, Fei Yi turned around. The smile on his face had dissipated, and he said calmly, "Lord, you go to Xianyang to check this time. Can you take it from the State of Qin?"

PS: Lou Qian entered Qin: After the violent death of King Wu of Qin, many brothers competed for the throne because he had no descendants. In order to intervene in the affairs of the state of Qin, the most powerful country at that time, King Wuling of Zhao joined hands with the concubine of King Huiwen, Mi Bazi and his brother Wei Ran to welcome the prince Ji, who was a proton in the State of Yan, as the king of Qin. He was the king of Qin Zhaoxiang, and his mother Mi Bazi was respected as the empress dowager Xuan.

However, in order to prevent the king of Qin from being at the mercy of King Zhao Wuling, the Empress Dowager Xuan set the King of Qin Ji in power in person, and the requirements for King Zhao Wuling were also perfunctory. This made King Zhao Wuling very angry, so he put pressure on the State of Qin to force Empress Dowager Xuan to appoint Zhao Renlou as Qin Xiang in order to gain more benefits for the State of Zhao. At that time, the chaos in Qin had just come to an end, and the south was about to fight with the State of Chu. Because he was afraid of the strong military strength of the State of Zhao, he was forced to agree to Lou to enter Qin as the prime minister.
