Chapter 172 Like Walking on Thin Ice 2
The hall is quiet and depressing. Although it is daytime, it is still a little dark, and the hall is not very bright. The little eunuchs who came with tea on the side carefully stood on tiptoe for fear of disturbing the three people in the hall.
Zhao Yong sat in a high seat, picked up the tea cup with his hand and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He wrinkled his nose slightly and said, "Scent is fragrant, but after all, there is something missing. After all, it is not as high as strong wine."
Feiyi under the seat smiled and put down the tea cup and said, "What the master said is that just like the life in Handan City, although it is comfortable and comfortable, it is dull and tasteless, far less happy and comfortable as our horse grassland in those years. It's just that we are all old, and we can't do it if we don't accept old age.
Zhao Yong didn't seem to hear the implied meaning of Feiyi's words at all. He just looked at Feiyi and Lou Xu under the seat, and said slowly after a long time, "It's been a long time since the three of us have been together. It's really rare today."
Hearing that there seemed to be something in the master's words, Feiyi was just stunned, but he didn't know how to answer. He simply pretended not to know, but just arched his hand and said, "Lord, I summoned Weichen in the early morning and didn't know what to do."
Zhao Yong looked at Fei Yi with a smile and said, "What, can't I summon you if it's okay?"
Feiyi was a little uneasy in his heart, but he reluctantly smiled and said, "The Lord forgives the sins. It's my subordinate who made a mistake."
Zhao Yong nodded and said, "It should have been like this. You and I are so friends, and we should be scolded."
He looked at Lou Huan again, pointed to the stool brought up by the little eunuch and smiled, "You two sit down, don't stand there stupidly. Do you want me to sit down in person?"
Lou slowly smiled and sat down rudely. Feiyi hesitated for a moment and sat down with Lou Qian, but his buttocks were shallowly stained with the stool and straightened his waist, which was not as casual as Lou Huan.
"What's going on in the court these days?" Zhao Yong asked Feiyi with a smile.
Feiyi replied respectfully; "Lord, there is nothing important in the court today, only some complicated things. I have sent the daily official duties to you and the king, and the king will personally decide and deal with it properly."
Zhao Yong nodded, but he was absent-minded and gently tapped the throne with his fingers. Suddenly, he said, "Zhang Er has arrived in Handan and is now resting in the apse."
Feiyi was stunned, and his face showed a puzzled look: "Didn't An Yangjun's car arrive until the day after tomorrow? Why did you suddenly change the itinerary?
Zhao Yong took a look at Feiyi and said, "I received reliable news that someone privately said that Wang Ming mobilized the Jingxing garrison, and there seemed to be a strange movement. Unprecided, I have sent Han Sheng to pick up Zhanger in advance.
Fei Yi was shocked. Huo stood up and blurted out; "Is this serious?"
Zhao Yong stared at Feiyi's eyes and said slowly after a long time, "Do you think I will make such a boring joke?"
Feiyi walked back and forth several times anxiously and suddenly looked up and said, "Master, this matter is like a rebellion. It must be ordered to be thoroughly investigated. If it is found that someone has the intention to disturb our Zhao Sheji, it must be killed to serve as an example."
Zhao Yong snorted coldly, "Where to investigate? Jing Xingshou was confused when Wen Liang was in trouble. Unexpectedly, he easily believed the man who preached the decree and drove the army out of the city to set up an ambush. Fortunately, the deputy general Ren Chang reported it in time. Only then did he realize that the king's life and the tiger charm held by the person who sent the decree were all fake photos. After that, the person who sent the false will has taken poison and committed suicide. From then on, there is no proof of death. How to find out?
He was so confused that he suddenly realized that this might be a great conspiracy. If Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang died under the ambush of the army, the father who lost his beloved son must be furious, and the biggest suspicion is undoubtedly the king Zhao He. The angry father is likely to lead the army to launch a coup directly, depose Zhao He, and carry out a bloody cleanse of the ministers who may be involved in this matter. And the royal ministers who support Zhao He will certainly not be captured, and they will inevitably resist strongly, which is undoubtedly an unprecedented crisis for Zhao.
Fortunately, An Yangjun did not have an accident, otherwise the State of Zhao, which has been operating painstakingly for more than 30 years, will inevitably be in chaos, and the father and son will attack each other.
Thinking of this, Feiyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to speak, but he saw his father staring at him and slowly asked, "Feiyi, let me ask you, and you have to answer me truthfully."
"Why do you know about this? Did you dictate it?"
"There is no such thing."
Feiyi said decisively, "Master, the king is your son. Who knows what kind of temper he is better than you. Even if the king is dissatisfied with An Yangjun, he will never do such a thing. Even if the king wants to do it, it is impossible to completely avoid me to do it.
Zhao Yong stared at Fei Yi, his eyes were a little scary, while Fei Yi raised his head and did not flinch, looking calm.
After a while, Zhao Yong looked away, believed most of Feiyi's words, and put down a stone in his heart.
You should know that the last thing he wants to see is that his two closest sons fight for the throne, or even kill each other, which will undoubtedly make him feel extremely painful and chilled. Fortunately, Zhao He was not involved in this conspiracy, otherwise it would be difficult for him to imagine how he would deal with his beloved son in the past.
"Okay, I believe you."
Zhao Yong gently tapped the throne with his fingers, looking thoughtful. All three of them were silent, and the huge hall was suddenly quiet and scary. Fei Yi gently looked back at Lou Huan beside him, only to find that he was also looking at himself behind his back.
When Lou slowly saw Fei Yi's face, he squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and his face was slightly apologizing. Fei Yi suddenly made it clear in his mind. Lou Huan must have known about this for a long time, but he didn't mention it to himself. He Lou Huan, the two former old friends of his father, had excluded him.
The tapping finger suddenly stopped, and Zhao Yong looked at Feiyi and said, "Feiyi, I want you to ask for a reward."
Fei Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The master is serious. I am the minister of the Zhao family. How can I ask for the reward?"
Zhao Yong smiled and didn't say much. He just said calmly, "I've been thinking about it. The conflict between Zhang'er and He'er is nothing more than the throne. There is only one seat for King Zhao. Since I gave it to He Er, I will naturally feel sorry for Zhang Er. So I deposed his prince's position. He didn't have a trace of complaint in front of me, but he was extremely sad. In addition, this kind of thing happened this time, and I really felt guilty about him. If it hadn't been for my original intention, he would have been the king of the State of Zhao sooner or later, but now he would kneel down to his younger brother.
Feiyi's heart has been sinking, and he suddenly has a hunch that what the master will say is most likely what Li Dui said to him before.
Sure enough, Zhao Yong continued to say, "Zhang Er and He Er are both my sons, and I don't want to owe anyone. Since the contradiction between them is only the throne, it is better to turn one throne into two. He Er still sits on his king of Zhao, and Zhang Er can be the king on his behalf. If so, the two brothers will be able to resolve their heart knots and work together to create Zhao's hegemony, and you and I will..."
Before Zhao Yong finished his words, Fei Yi had already shouted out to interrupt him.
"This is a must!"
Zhao Yong was stunned, and his face suddenly became very ugly. He said with a gloomy face, "Why not?"
Feiyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Huo Ran opened his eyes and said with an extremely firm face, "Master, if you do this, it is not good for the two sons, but also harms them and our State of Zhao. Internally, dividing the State of Zhao into two will inevitably greatly weaken the strength of the State of Zhao. When the king becomes an adult, he will not be willing to divide the State of Zhao into two. Although Anyang Jun has been able to claim the kingdom, he will never be satisfied with just a corner of the king's land. Sooner or later, there will be a war. Has the father forgotten the old story of the State of Jin? In those years, it was because of the benevolence of Zhaohou's women that the State of Jin was divided into two, which led to two bloody battles in the State of Jin for more than a hundred years. Quwo's Xiaozong finally replaced the original capital and became the master of the State of Jin, and the Duke of Jin was also lost in this catastrophe. In addition, the State of Zhao, if If it is divided into two, it will inevitably cause the covex of other countries. At that time, I'm afraid there will be no peace.
(PS: Quwo Daiyi, in 745 BC, the Marquis of Jinzhao made his uncle Yu Quwo, known as Uncle Quwo Heng. At the time of the division, Uncle Quwo was 58 years old at this time. He had quite rich political experience, and he was "good virtue", which was very popular with the people. "All the people of the State of Jin were attached". Under his management, Quwo became the second political center of the State of Jin and launched a long-term struggle for power with the Duke of Jin on the wing of the capital. Quwo's forces continued to challenge the Jinjun Dazong, including military strikes, political disintegration, and diplomatic isolation, cultivating Jin's internal forces against Jinjun, encroaching on the leadership of the Marquis of Jin, and finally seizing the power of Jin and replaced him.)
