Chapter 150 Surge 9
The night was like water, and the sky was full of stars. The two teenagers lay quietly on the roof like this, thinking about their own thoughts, as if they had a tacit understanding. No one opened their mouth to break this rare tranquility, but just looked at the starry sky quietly.
It was probably quiet for too long. Zhao Xin couldn't help looking at Zhao He, but found that he also looked at himself with his eyes wide open.
Zhao He finally said first, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Xin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "What else can I think about? I'm a little sleepy. If the king hadn't shouted at me, I would have fallen asleep."
Zhao He showed a smile and said with a smile, "My father is right. You are really an interesting person."
Zhao Xin heard Zhao He talk about his father's evaluation of him more than once, and he couldn't help asking, "Does the master often mention me?"
Zhao He nodded and said, "At that time, when my father was fighting abroad, he often wrote letters to me, in which he often mentioned you, saying that you were very angry with him, both in terms of character and temperament. I can see that my father likes you very much.
Zhao Xin smiled and said sincerely, "In fact, the master is very easy to get along with. He has no airs and doesn't need to be served. It's not hard for me to be with him at all, but I have learned a lot of useful things."
Zhao He showed a yearning look in his eyes and said for a while, "Actually, I really envy you."
"Do you envy me?" Zhao Xin was dumbfounded, stretched out his waist and smiled, "Your Majesty, if your words spread out, I'm afraid you will laugh out the big teeth of the world. You should know that you are the king of the State of Zhao. With a million angry corpses and bloodshed, the honor and disgrace of the Zhao people are in your own hands. Look at me again. It seems to be beautiful every day. It's actually a matter of running errands and doing chores. From time to time, some people want to ride on my head and shit. What do you envy me as a little captain?
Zhao He heard Zhao Xin's funny words and couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you talking about An Pingjun bullying your family?" That's right. My uncle and grandfather have always been hot-tempered. Even my father and widow will give him three points, let alone you.
Zhao Xin curled his lips and said, "So the king, don't make small jokes. Why do you envy me?"
Zhao He stopped smiling and his face was a little gloomy. It took him a long time to shake his head and said, "What I envy is not this. What I envy is that you can always be by my father's side and get his love and care."
After saying that, Zhao He stood up and took a few steps forward. Zhao Xin also stood up.
"Zhao Xin, do you know? Every time I see my father praise you in my letter, I can't wait to be you, instead of sitting on the high throne every day and listening to the quarrels of the group of people below. I don't like to be the king of Zhao at all. I don't like it at all. I never thought of being the king of Zhao. It was my father who forced me to put me to the throne, but now I hate it because of this!"
At this point, Zhao He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. His words were a little choked, his face was full of grievance, and he had already talked about the emotional excitement. He looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Zhao Xin, do you know why my father appreciates you so much?"
Zhao Xin was aroused by his curiosity, so he followed his words and asked, "Why?"
"Because you are very much like him." Zhao He smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.
"This is what the master told me. He said that you were almost the same as your father when he was young. He was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was always restless. I think my father must be very disappointed with me and my eldest brother, so he will see his youth in you.
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao He's lonely smile and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Suddenly, he sympathized with the seemingly weak king of Zhao, who was going to shoulder the unimaginable burden. On his shoulders is the burden of the whole State of Zhao, tens of thousands of miles of territory, more than four million people, and a powerful State of Zhao, which is full of vitality and thriving.
So he doesn't dare to slack off at all. He is a conscientious learner's way to govern the country every day, dealing with all the government, big and small. At this age, most of those ordinary aristocratic children are just busy playing around every day. But even so, he still can't get the satisfaction of his beloved father.
In fact, the meaning of Feiyi and Zhao He is more obvious, that is, the master has been entangled in "the son is not like a father", so he favors Zhao Xin, a teenager who has nothing to do with his own temperament. Zhao Zhang's bravery and Zhao He's cleverness also won his favor, but they seemed to divide his temperament into two completely unrelated pieces. The two sons inherited one piece, but each other was like water and fire.
Zhao Zhang is a qualified general, but he is a little reckless; while Zhao He is a qualified king, but Qingming is a little weak. Compared with their father, the two of them are much less, which has become the father's biggest regret. He wants to find a candidate who can inherit his career completely, and although his two sons are outstanding, there is still something missing in his heart.
So the master's father divided his career into two parts, allowing his eldest son Zhao Zhang to lead the army outside, and Zhao He became the king in the court. He originally wishfully thought that as long as the two brothers were close and united, they would be able to inherit his career completely. The State of Zhao had maintained a thriving rising stage. However, he finally ignored people's selfishness. As the deposed eldest son, Zhao Zhang could not be willing to serve under his young brother's knees, and Zhao He, who was gradually growing up, would never rest assured that his brother, who held heavy soldiers, would lead the army outside.
These Zhao Xin actually understand it in his heart. He followed his master for many days, and his daily affairs did not deliberately avoid him. He had long been aware of some clues. Coupled with the influence in the palace in the past few months, and his father's repeatedly warnings, he could not see the situation clearly, but he didn't expect that the relationship between father and son would suddenly become stiff because of An Yangjun's return to the court.
Looking at Zhao He's lonely back, his thin body looked extremely thin in the night wind, but he still stood up stubbornly and looked up at the starry sky with his head high. At this moment, Zhao's confidence suddenly flashed a heart,
Even if he is ninety-five, above tens of thousands of people, he may not be happy in his heart. As the lord of the State of Zhao, he can determine the life and death of others and have supreme royal power, but after all, he is still a layman and can't escape the shackles of family affection. Just like Zhao He, everything he has done since he ascended the throne is nothing more than trying to get the approval of his father through his own efforts, that's all. Now he is getting used to this role, but at this time his father suddenly began to change his mind, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Zhao He looked at the distance and said for a long time, "So Zhao Xin, I said that I envy you very much. You can get his favor by your father's side. Do you know how envious I am every time my father praises you? I can see that every time he talks about you, he is actually disappointed in me. He wants me to be the kind of person he wants, but I can't do it.
Zhao Xin comforted him softly, "Wang, in fact, my father still loves you very much. I have been with him for so long, and he tells me the most about you. No matter how busy the march is, he will write to General Han to send you every five days without interruption.
"But my father doesn't love me anymore." Zhao He clenched his fist and said with sadness on his face, "He just regards me as a stumbling block now, as his opponent, not his son. Zhao Xin, do you know that many people keep saying bad things about my father in front of me every day, saying that he wants to depose me and lock me up, saying that he wants to be the king of Zhao again, and even the master told me that my father wants to deal with me and ask me to be careful.
"I don't understand what I did wrong. My father wants to do this to me. He asked me to be the king of Zhao, and I did it. In order to meet his requirements, I have been going to bed late and getting up early every day for years. There are two things to do every day, reading and reading chapters, and I don't even have a chance to be lazy. But I have done this. Why is my father still not satisfied? Now my eldest brother hates me, and my father no longer likes me. I am around all day reminding me to be careful of my father and my eldest brother. I'm scared. I'm really scared. I don't know how things turned out like this. Why do you think so?"
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao He, who was already full of tears, but didn't know what to say. He just stood aside silently and looked at the king of Zhao, who was high in the day, unabashedly revealing his vulnerability.
In fact, he was also very confused. He suddenly realized that the crisis in Zhao's internal part was much higher than he expected. The conflict between his father, King He Zhao, was deteriorating and it seemed to be irreconcilable. Among them, An Yangjun and the help of the ministers and ministers undoubtedly played a role that could not be ignored.
In this way, the two stood quietly on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking about their own thoughts. Unconsciously, the moon had fallen and the stars were sinking, approaching the end of the night.
At this time, Zhao He has regained his previous look, and his tears have long been dried by the wind. He turned around and looked at Zhao Xin and said with a smile, "Thank you for accompanying me."
Zhao Xin smiled and was not too polite. He just said with a smile, "Your Majesty is serious. Thank you for trusting me so much."
Zhao He smiled and said, "I heard from my father that you have excellent character, and my father's eyes will not be biased, so I naturally trust you very much. But I don't want my father to know what I said to you today. Can you do it?
Zhao Xin bowed and said, "The last general will never say it. Wang Shangda can rest assured."
PS: At the end of the exam, I resumed two update a day. I'm sorry for this period.
