Chapter 186 Like Walking on Thin Ice 16
Zhao He nodded and said thoughtfully, "It turned out to be my father's order, so no wonder big brother."
Although Zhao Zhang heard that Zhao He's tone was plain, there seemed to be something in his words. He thought that he was dissatisfied with the master's favoritism himself. He sneered secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
I heard Zhao He ask again, "Big brother, do you have a residence in Handan?"
"Yes." Zhao Zhang nodded, "It's still the previous house, which has never changed."
After Zhao Zhang was deposed as the crown prince, he could no longer stay in the palace, so he was forced to move out of the palace and live outside the palace. After all, the master still felt a little guilty about him, so he helped him find a big house to reward him, and he was also more at ease. Zhao Zhang rarely came to Handan in recent years, but the servants and maids in the house are still available and have never been abandoned. When Zhao Zhang came this time, he naturally moved in.
"Xiao Xian." Zhao He looked back and shouted at the concubine.
"The old slave is here." Yan Xian hurriedly bowed back and said.
"Go to the craftsman's house and send some skilled craftsmen to help Anyangjun repair the house. You must make the best of everything, and all the expenses will be paid by the palace treasury."
"No." Concubine Xian bowed and stepped back a few steps and called a small eunuch to order him to go down.
Zhao Zhang hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Zhao He had ordered it, he didn't say more. Just bowed and thanked; "Thank you, my lord."
Zhao He smiled and said, "Big brother, why are you so polite? You and I are relatives, and this little thing is not worth mentioning."
"If you need a big brother in Handan, you can come to me. As long as I can, I will try my best."
When he said this, Zhao He's tone was true, and his expression was not fake, as if he was true. It's just that in Zhao Zhang's eyes, he didn't feel this way at all. He just felt that Zhao He deliberately said it and wanted to ridicul himself as a victor, so he just said with a contemptuous smile and a cold expression. "It's not bother to bother the king. My father has given me everything. As for the other missing me. I will buy it myself."
He sneered in his heart and said: What I want is this throne that belongs to me. Will you give it to me?
Zhao He saw that he treated him coldly and his words were extremely disrespectful. Obviously, the estrangement in his heart had already arisen, but now it is difficult to return. My heart is a little gloomy, and I don't know what to say.
Zhao He has lost his mother since he was a child. In the past, all his favorites were given by his closest father, but now his father regards him as an opponent, which has to make him sad. As for Zhao Zhang, the eldest brother, he is undoubtedly the closest person in the world except for his father. He has taken good care of him since he was a child, but now he has turned against him because of the throne.
For the sake of this throne, Zhao He lost almost all his relatives. His father and brother turned against each other and regarded him as a thorn in his side. He was too immature on his shoulders, carrying the whole State of Zhao, but at the age of fifteen, he was forced to form a party to protect himself.
This made him feel sad. He thought more than once that if his father had not deliberately imposed the throne on him at the beginning, he would have been much better now. The father will still love him, and the eldest brother will naturally inherit the throne and still care about him. When he becomes an adult, he may be an auxiliary minister. The two brothers work together to govern the prosperous State of Zhao and jointly realize the wishes of the father.
But all this has become like this. Because of his mother's request before his death, the master's father took him to the throne, but because he felt sorry for his eldest brother and tried his best to compensate him. The eldest brother hated himself more and more, thinking that he had robbed him of the throne that should have belonged to him.
Zhao He didn't think about letting go. At worst, he didn't do this King Zhao. He also told his master Feiyi more than once that he wanted to give up the throne, but Feiyi resolutely opposed it.
The reason given by Feiyi is very simple. All the deposed monarch, no matter who his successor is, will definitely kill the deposed king and settle the country. At the same time, the state of Zhao is bound to be chaotic because of the change of the throne, attracting the peerage of the princes.
Feiyi is very clear in his heart that although Zhao Zhang is a good general, he is not a benevolent king. He has the ambition of his master, but he does not have the courage and courage of his father. He is narrow-minded and happy. If he is the king, it will inevitably lead to the continuous war of the State of Zhao and the gradual decline of its national strength. In addition, he is not in a position, and he is separated from the sergeant and doctor. Sooner or later, there will be civil strife.
This is the reason why Feiyi resolutely opposes Zhao He's concession. He quoted a sentence on the grassland, that is, "the arrow shot out, there is no reason to turn back." If Zhao He has never sat on this throne, he can naturally get along well with Zhao Zhang and go hand in hand. But now if he abdicate, there is no other result but death.
It was after listening to Feiyi's advice that Zhao He also made up his mind to be strong in order to protect himself. In the dynasty, he has the support of Xiangbang Feiyi, and at the same time, he has the support of Gongzi Cheng, who represents the Gong clan, and Li Du, who is the representative of the family, and firmly holds the justice of the king and ministers, so he has an advantage in several confrontations with his master. However, because of his obedience and dependence on the master's father, he always habitually chooses to give in whenever he is tough on his master. Now he acquiesce to An Yangjun's return to the court and adds a strong opponent to himself.
Zhao Zhang saw that Zhao He didn't say anything for a long time, but he looked at himself and didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
In the final analysis, Zhao He is now the king of Zhao. He is no longer the young and ignorant brother of that year. If he embarrass himself, there must be many ways.
Fortunately, this scene did not last for a long time. Zhao He soon came to his senses and apologized to his brother and said, "The eldest brother is right. My father is naturally considerate, which is my younger brother."
When the two brothers talked outside the hall, the ministers who passed by stopped and watched from afar and saw that the king of Zhao spoke decently. They did not lose the demeanor and calmness of the king because of his young age. They couldn't help cheering secretly and looked up at King Zhao even more in their hearts. It was An Yangjun's mind that was completely imprinted on his face, and he looked disrespectful, which disappointed many speculative people.
At this time, after a while, the ministers in front of them bowed and retreated to both sides, and several people came this way. The sharp-eyed concubine has been recognized as the master's father and his party. He quickly reminded Zhao He in a low voice, "Your father is here."
"What are you two brothers talking about?" Zhao Yong pressed his sword and strode over with a smile. His eyes first glanced over Zhao Zhang, and finally fell on Zhao He.
The master is still dressed as a cavalry general today. He wears light armor and wears red armor, and his spirit looks very good. Behind him were more than a dozen Yulin, led by Lang Zhongling Han Sheng, and a little more was Zhao Xin with a solemn expression.
Zhao He saluted and said with a smile, "Father, I'm asking my eldest brother about his habit of living in Handan."
Zhao Yong laughed and reached out and patted Zhao He on the shoulder. Only the force was a little too much, and the smile on Zhao He's face seemed a little reluctant.
"Where can't I settle down? How can I have so many requirements? Your eldest brother has been in the army for many years and has been stationed in the bitter cold place in the north for a long time. He has long been used to the military life of eating and sleeping in the open air. I don't think he will be more picky.
Zhao Zhang also smiled and said, "Father is right."
Zhao He couldn't help but look a little ugly. The person who doesn't mean to listen to the person has a heart. The master just said what he said casually, but it was a little uncomfortable in Zhao He's ears.
The son is not like a father. It is a great taboo for the succession of kings, and it is also the biggest heart disease in Zhao He's heart. The master's father has never said similar words in public on various occasions, that is, dissatisfaction with Zhao Hewen's weak personality.
When his father mentioned this matter again this time, Zhao He felt even more uncomfortable. He bowed his head and didn't know what to say there.
The master didn't notice the change in his son's face. He just looked at the virtuous and said, "It's getting late. Let's start the morning meeting."
"No." Yu Xian bowed to his order, and immediately cleared his throat and stood in the middle of the door of the hall and shouted loudly, "The court will open, and all doctors, please enter the hall."
The master walked in the front with his head held high, and Zhao He took half a step behind him. Zhao Zhang hesitated for a moment and strode to follow. The doctors also entered the hall one after another, each in their own positions, waiting for the master father and the king to sit down.
Zhao Zhang saw the black pressure of people's heads, but he didn't know where he should stand. When he was hesitating, he saw the prince Cheng wave his hand to him. Then he woke up and hurried over and stood at the lower position of the prince.
Zhao Zhang whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Zu."
Mr. Cheng snorted gently, but replied faintly: "Don't gossip, concentrate on the meeting."
"Yes." Zhao Zhang nodded quickly and took a look at Tian Bure again. Although it was his first time to participate in the court meeting of the State of Zhao, he was idle and stood at the end calmly.
In terms of authority, Tian is just an unintroited Sima in the army. He is not qualified to participate in the court meeting of the State of Zhao, but only the master's father's permission to enter the court. Tian Bure ignored the curious eyes of the people around him and just stood there with a smile on his face.
As always, the process of the court meeting is that each department has reported political affairs, and most of Feiyi has been approved. It's just that the king of Zhao will listen to it, but there are some important things that will be decided by the king of Zhao himself. Zhao He was still as usual, just listening attentively, asking a few puzzled things from time to time, and Feiyi explained patiently one by one. When Zhao Jian, the internal history, reported the mobilization of officials and the corruption of the Yangyi county magistrate, Lou Huan beside him was shocked. Suddenly, he couldn't stand still and shouted in his heart. He hurriedly wink at the master's father, but he saw that the master was sitting in the chair and squinting slightly and did not look at himself, so he had no choice but to give up.
Zhao Yong was not very interested in these tedious things, so he just closed his eyes and did not participate much. Everything was left to Zhao He and Feiyi. After hearing the report of the ministries, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to announce."
