I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 16
From the perspective of size, the Zhi family is undoubtedly a big family. However, from the death of Zhi Ying to the takeover of Zhi Bi, there were about 40 years in a state of loss of control.

To put it bluntly, several generations of Zhi clan's patriarchs lived short lives, which made it difficult to implement any plans, and the control over retainers and some vassal nobles was out of balance.

If it hadn't been for Zhixuan who spent nearly 20 years stabilizing the interior, what happened to Lu Guosanhuan might have happened to Zhishi.

"Starting today, my house will be closed." Zhibi said.

But Zhishen asked, "Has your majesty ordered to attack Handan Zhao?"

In fact, the monarch only expressed his position to Zhibi and Zhao Yang several times, but the order has not yet been issued.

According to the king's intention, he wanted to directly define Handan Zhao as a rebel, and summon the nobles in the country to besiege Handan Zhao in the form of counter-insurgency.

So, why did the monarch want to destroy Handan Zhao?Things are a little more complicated inside.

Zhixuan asked Zhiyao, "Do you know why your majesty is like this?"

Recently, Zhiyao is trying to make up for the history of Jin, otherwise it is very likely that the answer is wrong.He thought for a while and said, "Follow Luan's story?"

"Of course!" The disappointment and defeat on Zhibi's face receded, and a gratified expression replaced it.

Zhiyao said: "It was Duke Li's plan to attack the Luan family. Luan Wuzi couldn't bear the disturbance of Uncle Ju (Que Qi), so he pushed the boat along..."

The Que family had great kindness to the Luan family, but after Luan Shu became the "Yuan Rong" of Jin, Que Kai and Quezhi relied on the Que's kindness to the Luan family, and it was fine to disrespect Luan Shu, and let the Luan family do it several times. Can't get off stage.

It just so happened that Duke Li of Jin's concubine had enmity with the Que family, and the situation of the Jin state at that time did not allow the Que family to continue to grow, so a conspiracy was brewed.

The Que family became the second family to be besieged after the Zhao family. The difference is that the Zhao family was soon reestablished, but the Que family members were killed from top to bottom, and there was no blood to reestablish the Que family. .

Speaking of the Que family's Jin family, under the custom of not marrying with the same surname, there is no Zhao Zhuangji in his family, let alone a Zhao Wu.

"Xia Junzuo has repeatedly disobeyed the monarch, and the Zhongxing and Zhao clans have a lot of filth. The monarch knows that the Fan and Zhongxing clans will help Handan Zhao, and they are trying to weaken the Fan and Zhongxing clans." , He made it clear in a few words.

Zhibi looked at Zhishen who was ashamed, and said, "What do you think?"

What can Zhishen say?Even if he knew the ins and outs, he was still confused about many things, but it was impossible for Zhiyao, who had a good news channel, to be right just relying on some guesses.

Explain what?It only shows that Zhiyao's views on form are completely correct, especially she has a delicate heart that is sensitive to the current situation!
Zhishen said, "My son knows!"

The head of the family and the heir finished their riddles, and Zhi Xiao's fate was sealed if nothing else happened.

This is Zhiyao's accumulated success over time, it is not a victory achieved overnight!
Zhiyao, who was at the scene, realized something, but she couldn't be sure. It was only when Zhixiao was sent to the "auxiliary" place that she really tasted it.

The eldest son of the family is usually brought by his father to teach him something, or observe his talents and character nearby.

Zhiyao heard that Zhixiao didn't go to the "auxiliary" land as a guest, but would live in the "auxiliary" land for a long time, and it would be strange if she didn't understand what happened.

At present, the "Fu" land is the fiefdom of the Fu clan, and the Fu clan is regarded as the Xiaozong of the Zhi clan. According to the current customs, there are two families.

However, under normal circumstances, the Xiaozong will still obey the orders from the Masterzong, and it becomes a kind of relationship that is separated but still connected with each other.It's hard to say how long this relationship can last, it depends on the situation of the main sect.

Because Zhishen is not yet the head of the family, it is still early to confirm his successor, but Zhiyao later gained more power, even including the right to mobilize the family's private army. Anyone who should understand this will understand.

If people who don't understand or understand still choose to stand on Zhixiao's side, after Zhishen becomes the head of the family, in order to avoid civil strife in the family in the future, they should be marginalized.

Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin left "Xintian" with their people, not only the clansmen left cleanly, but there was not even a single armed force and servant left.

The hearts of all the people who heard the news immediately twitched. The timid nobles immediately packed up their belongings and returned to their fiefs, while the nobles who did not leave were always waiting for the order of the monarch.

When the season came to autumn, the monarch began to act on his own. He frequently summoned all the "qings", and left Zhixuan several times to play against Zhao Yang. The matter they talked about was not to restore the hegemony, but to discuss how to deal with the outbreak of civil war.

Zhibi is very worried about the upcoming civil war, and of course he does not want a civil war to break out.

However, Zhao Yang has already deployed, especially with the support of the monarch, how could his efforts go to waste?

So, the rumors about Zhao's treason in Handan became more and more endless. Those who knew what was going on thought to themselves, "Zhao Yang just knows how to play", while those who didn't know the actual situation were stunned.

After the rumors spread to "Handan", Zhao Wu didn't know what he was thinking. He rushed to "Xintian" to ask to see the king, but when he was rejected, he ran to see Zhao Yang.

"Doctor Handan is going to Zhao Mansion?" Zhiyao was surprised when she heard the news from Zhixuan, and then said like a prophecy: "Life goes in and death goes out!"

At this stage, Zhishen is not in the "Xintian" family. He is running around in various fiefdoms as an heir, and what he does is to gather the family's private army.

Zhixuan found that Zhiyao was extremely smart, and Zhiyao was also very insightful in judging some current situations, and gradually let Zhiyao participate in family decision-making.

Is it an exaggeration to participate in family decision-making at the age of nine?If it was an ordinary child, such a thing would naturally not happen.

There is a precedent for the old Zhi family to participate in family decision-making before the age of ten, that is, Zhi Shuo, who is known as the second talented man in the Jin Kingdom, began to participate in the management of the family at the age of seven.

Because of the precedent of Zhishuo, it didn't seem so abrupt for nine-year-old Zhiyao to gain management rights. What the Zhi clan and retainers need to worry about is whether Zhiyao will die young like Zhishuo.

Zhixuan didn't know how Zhiyao's judgment came about, he could only feel unbelievable, and said: "The Zhongjun Zuo is crazy?"

Logically speaking, Zhao Yang wouldn't be that crazy, right?

However, follow-up news came, saying that Zhao Yang killed Zhao Wu who came to the door in the mansion!
Zhao Yang cast a punishment tripod, right?
About Handan Zhao's treason is a conspiracy, there is no real evidence, is there?
Zhao Yang, who cast the punishment tripod, said that he should respect the law and should not be killed without a trial, but what he did was to kill Zhao Wu without any real evidence.

This is really "holding the grass!"!
