Chapter 87 The Great Dynasty Letter Palace 5
It has been 29 years since Zhao Yong ascended the throne. Among them, he was the 27th year of King Zhao and two years after his abdication.
Unlike any previous king, in the past 29 years, Zhao Yong spent most of his time patrolling the territory of the State of Zhao on war horses to understand the customs of various places. Compared with the strict system in the palace, he prefers the unrestrained life on horseback, so Handan is not close to him. He will only stay here for one or two months every year, and then start a new journey.
Over time, Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao, was a little strange to the ministers. Unless there are extremely important major affairs in the country, it will be dealt with by Zhao Yong. Usually, it will be discussed by Xiangbang and Sanqing, and then quickly reported to Zhao Yong after the final disposal, which also results in a situation of extreme power, and the king of Zhao firmly holds only military power.
I have to say that Zhao Yong is very knowledgeable. He has successively relied on the second generation of Xiangbang. Whether it is Zhao Bao, the early Yangquan Jun, or the fatness of the future, he is a respectful and cautious person, and he is loyal to the State of Zhao. During his tenure, he is dedicated to the country and selfless. This is also the reason why the king of Zhao has always maintained a high degree of centralization of monarchy, although he has not been in the country all year round.
But after Zhao Yong abdiced, the problem also appeared. He is no longer the king of the State of Zhao, but the "Master Zhao" who sounds extremely fresh, but the king is a confused child on the throne. The duties of the ministers have always been loyal to the kings, but there are two kings in the State of Zhao, one living in the palace, and the other leading the army to fight everywhere.
Since Xia Qijian was called queen, from the emperor to a small country of fifty miles, all kings have come to an end. Unless there is such a thing as a rebellion, I have never heard that any king will willingly retreat from the high throne. Zhao Yong's move is really unprecedented and unprecedented, which makes the world's ministers of the State of Zhao not know what to do.
Fortunately, although Zhao He is very young, he is extremely smart. In addition, he is modest and easy to learn. During the court meeting, he mostly sits on the throne and listens with an open mind. If he doesn't understand, he doesn't speak easily. After that, he calls Feiyi to ask one by one. Under the careful teaching of Xiangbang Feiyi, it didn't take long for Zhao He to gradually get started with the affairs of the court and dealt with it in the same way. The ministers in the court gradually did not dare to underestimate the young King Zhao.
Zhao Yong has not been in the middle of the country for many years, and the ministers have long been used to it. Now that Zhao He has not felt anything wrong with his accession to the throne, but the object of loyalty has changed from the original Zhao Yong to Zhao He on the throne.
And the most important thing is that the power of the public family, led by the prince, have been deeply affected by Zhao Yong's Hufu riding and shooting. Their interests have been greatly impacted. The fiefs have been continuously cut, and most of the slaves and maidservants have been forced to be released, and they have to wear those Hufu that make them feel ashamed to go out.
It has to be said that compared with the change of Li Slang in the State of Wei and the change of Shang Yang in the State of Qin, the Hufu riding shooting of the State of Zhao is an incomplete change. It is only inclined to the military level, but the political system is rarely moved. The power of the princes of the State of Zhao is deeply rooted and extremely powerful. Although the master's change has hit their power heavily, it still has not eliminated the hidden danger. It was only during the time when the master's father was the king, relying on Hehe's military achievements and highly concentrated royal power to forcibly suppress these hidden dangers, which made the State of Zhao maintain a very stable development momentum compared with the other six countries for more than 30 years.
But with Zhao He's accession to the throne, these politically sensitive national moths quickly sensed the opportunity. The public forces, with the prince as the leader, quickly united to Zhao He's side. They were not stingy with their loyalty and waited for the young Zhao with hope. The king grew up and took back everything he had lost from his master.
Over time, the powerful monarchy of the State of Zhao has been handed over quietly. Young Zhao He unconsciously inherited most of the rights of this huge country. Around him, he closely united almost all the ministers. Although the master's army is in control, the tiger charm for mobilizing the army must also be granted by the King of Zhao. If there is no tiger charm in hand, the generals of the State of Zhao can't even mobilize a soldier.
It's just that neither Zhao Yong nor Zhao He realized the change in status. In Zhao Yong's heart, Zhao He is still the beloved son, accustomed to relying on himself and following his own arrangements; in Zhao He's heart, Zhao Yong is still the father who spoils him, is used to subconsciously listening to his arrangement, and does not have the consciousness of being the king of Zhao in front of him.
Therefore, Zhao Yong still went his own way. He temporarily intended to reward Zhao Zhang. He did not reveal any intention to give Zhao He or Feiyi before, but subconsciously exercised his own royal power. But Feiyi stood up and objected. The minister Zhao Yong once thought was the most loyal to him, the minister who had followed him for more than 30 years. This also made Zhao Yong feel a little alert, but he just thought that he was the discomfort caused by leaving the center of power for a long time, and did not think of deeper and farther.
And the benefits of this, Li Dui, who has been watching coldly, is the clearest. These days, he has been working hard. At the top, he has successfully won the trust of Feiyi and the prince. Even the young King of Zhao looks at him differently. At the bottom, he is widely affiliated with his party members and is famous for his generosity and boldness in the court. His brother-in-law Zhao Jian is undoubtedly his most important political partner. He has united a large number of people with the two of them as the center. Although small officials are far from competing with the powerful public forces, they have also become a force that cannot be underestimated.
Zhao Yong and his son abandoned the frame, but walked forward with a light horse, laughing all the way, as if they were happy. The ministers followed slowly after that, and the accompanying cavalry could not enter the capital of Handan as usual, so under the leadership of Zhao Xi and other generals, they settled in the camp outside Handan.
Li Dui is a Si Kou, and also serves as a young man, ranking as the top minister, so the walking seat will naturally not be behind. But he deliberately slowed down and gradually deviated from the brigade. Zhao Jian, who was beside him, was aware of it and gently urged the horse to lean over.
"What do you think?" Zhao Jian slowed down his speed and walked side by side with Li Dui, but his eyes seemed to look into the distance inadvertently and asked softly.
Li Wei smiled and whispered, "It's not obvious. After the handing over, the father began to feel guilty about his eldest son. He wanted to compensate him for something, but he found that his superior authority had been shaken."
Zhao Ao looked at him and said, "It's gloating to listen to your tone. If I, Zhao, am in turmoil, it won't be good for you."
Li Dui opened his mouth and smiled and said with a smile; "You don't know anything about this. You fish in troubled water and win in chaos. This is the way to be an official. You nerd, no matter how many sage books you read, it's in vain. It's better to learn to be an official for your brother."
Zhao Ya said calmly, "I don't argue with you. What I want is just the way to govern the country. I can show my talent, but Zhao Cheng bullied me too much. If I don't get this in this life, it's really a vain father. You and I have been good friends for many years and are in-laws. I will naturally help you with whatever you want to do, but the only condition is that you have to find a way to avenge me.
Li Duan nodded and said disapprovingly, "Of course, you don't need to remind him many times. Among other things, Zhao Cheng is so to Xin'er, and I can't get through my uncle's face. However, at this time, there are only long pictures. Don't be in a hurry. Now Zhao Cheng is still very useful to us.
Zhao Jian said "en" and said no more. He was silent for a while and then asked, "What you said before seems to have been fulfilled one by one. The master did have a disagreement with the king, and Feiyi is also committed to safeguarding the king's power, rather than continuing to be loyal to the master."
"Is it true that, as you expected, my Zhao family, will give birth to a roommate?"
