This year is destined to be a year that will be recorded in history.

Just a few months have passed, and two major events have happened one after another.

In the west, under the leadership of Bai Qi, the Qin army defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces with few defeats and more, which shocked the world.

In the Central Plains, the Zhao army raided Shangdang County and under the threat of Qi, they still conquered Shangdang. The territory expanded again and became a major power that was striking the Central Plains.

The ceremony of the master's father's division was very grand, with red flags waving, and teams of Zhao soldiers came with their heads held high. Countless people in Zhao were lined up on the roads on both sides of the city gate, with crowds of people, and cheers were like tides.

"Look, that's Brother Wu Zhong! Before he went to the battle, he was just the commander of the sergeant, and now he is already a leader!"

"Hmph, what are you? Did you see that hero? That is my uncle! Now my uncle is already five hundred masters!"

After a word came to an end, everyone suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and their attitudes became much better when they spoke.

"Five hundred Lords? Lose respect and disrespect."

"I wonder if this hero is married? I still have a little girl and a hairpin in my family, and she is as beautiful as a flower..."

The atmosphere was very warm.

In the palace city, Zhao He and many ministers were waiting.

The Lord's father stood on the chariot and slowly entered from the palace gate that opened wide.

"Master Father!" Zhao He and many ministers saluted together.

The Lord's father laughed and suddenly said, "Wang, come in the car!"

Zhao He was slightly stunned and got on the chariot.

The master's father pulled Zhao He and the two fathers and sons stood side by side.

"Go to Taimiao!"

According to the convention, after going to the war to win, they would go to Taimiao to worship their ancestors, so that their ancestors would know how cows they had. Fortunately, they stayed at peace underground and didn’t have to be so angry that they lifted the coffin.

In the Taimiao, Zhao He followed the master's father, bowed in a stern manner and kowtowed.

The master's father handed over the axe and turned to look at Zhao He.

"Wang'er, you've done a good job!"

Exaggeration from my father has always been much more difficult than praise from my mother, so Zhao He was also a little proud.

However, I still have to say a few humble words: "Master, Father, in fact, Fat and others have made a lot of contributions, otherwise they will be unable to bear it at a young age."

This is the truth. Although he is blessed by time travelers, Zhao He, who has been a man for two lives, is still a novice in government affairs. If it weren't for the hard work of Feiyi and his old ministers, Zhao would not have been so stable.

The master's father laughed and said, "The king has affairs, the ministers have affairs, and the ministers have affairs. The widow's father will naturally know the loyalty and talent of Fei Yi and others. But if you had not made the decision properly, the widow's father would probably find it difficult to take down Shangdang this time. This is your contribution, but you don't have to be humble."

Zhao He said: "Yes."

The master's father was in a good mood and did not seem to leave the Taimiao immediately.

At this moment, there are only father and son in the Taimiao, which is a good occasion to talk.

The Lord Father said, "Wang, what do you think about the next situation?"

Zhao He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, father, son dare not speak nonsense."

Zhao He was indeed unsure.

Once Shangdang County is taken, it is no longer certain whether the direction of history has developed as we know it.

The master father looked at Zhao He with some dissatisfaction and said, "Don't hide it, just say it!"

In the eyes of the Lord Father, he, as a king, is good at everything, but he likes to hide his weaknesses.

Zhao He was speechless.

After thinking for a while, Zhao He said, "Master, my son believes that if we want to continue to grow and grow, then Qi and Qin must deal with it."

The Lord's father nodded in agreement and asked, "Then do you think it should be pre-Qin or first-Qin?"

Zhao He said: "Go first!"

The Lord Father asked, "Why?"

Zhao He said: "The State of Qi has been dominant for three generations since King Wei of Qi, and the princes are extremely wary of Qi. In order to attack Qi, it is not easy to attract other princes to dislike each other, and it is easy to attract allies. In the third place, Handan and Linzi are closer, so it is easy to dispatch troops and generals."

This view, actually Zhao He

This is not the first time it has been proposed.

The Lord Father nodded and smiled, "It's very good, so how do you plan to deal with Qi?"

Zhao He said in a deep voice: "Now, the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao and Qin are the strongest in the world. The most ideal situation is to let Qin and Qi fight, and I, the Great Zhao, reap the benefits of the fisherman. The second situation is to Zhao and Qin join forces to attack Qi together. The worst situation is to Qin and Qi join forces to attack our Great Zhao from both east and west directions."

The Lord Father thought about it and said for a while, "So, in your opinion, which of these three situations will eventually happen?"

Zhao He said: "Everything is possible, and what we need to do is to try to make things develop in the favorable side of our Da Zhao. I believe that in this battle, the one who wins in the end will definitely be Da Zhao!"

The master father laughed and patted Zhao He on the shoulder hard: "Okay, my son is really domineering! By the way, I heard that after the widow's father left, the messenger of Qi came to his house?"

Zhao He nodded and said, "It's for marriage."

The Lord Father said, "What do you think of this marriage?"

Zhao He said: "I don't have any opinion, but I think it's necessary to continue this marriage."

"Oh?" The master father glanced at Zhao He and said, "The King of Qi just asked Kuang Zhang to lead his army to surround you, but you still want him to be your uncle (father-in-law)?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "Now that the Three Kingdoms are competing for hegemony, and Zhao has just defeated Qin, so he will definitely be hated by the King of Qin. It is better to marry Qi first than to let the King of Qin join forces with Qi. In this way, at least our Zhao State can be invincible."

The Lord Father was silent for a very rare moment.

Just as Zhao He began to feel a little nervous and wondered if he had said something wrong, the Lord's father suddenly smiled again on his face.

"You did it right. Although Qi State is against the Great Zhao State, if the princess of Qi State marry into Handan, she will naturally be my Queen of Zhao State. This matter cannot be changed and there is no need to question it. It is very good and rational to think about Zhao State to accept this marriage."

After a pause, the Lord's Father suddenly spoke, "But Wang, what the Widow Father wants to tell you is that you are sometimes too rational."

Zhao He was slightly stunned.

The master father looked at Zhao He and said in a deep voice: "Zhang'er wants to seize your throne, and Zuo Master wants to plot against you. It is natural for you to kill these two people. But have you ever thought about what would happen if you could let them live together?"

Zhao He didn't say anything.

The master father said: "Widow's wife was in the Hu clothing, riding and shooting changes. The Zuo Master obstructed him many times, and even ruined his face. If it were based on your situation and style, the Widow's wife would have killed the Left Master long ago, but do you know why the Widow's wife let the Left Master live for so many years?"

Zhao He said: "I don't know."

The Lord's Father sighed and said, "It is true that there will be some troubles in keeping his life, but it will also help the reputation of the widowed father, so that the widowed father and Zhao can attract more talents. But if he is killed, wouldn't the widowed father become a tyrant who uses any means for power and is criticized?"

Zhao He opened his mouth and said nothing.

The master father seemed to know what Zhao He was thinking and said with a smile: "You are trying to say that Zuo Master is actually possible, right? But that's just because someone gave him this possibility. Even if it's not Zuo Master, as long as that person is willing to give him a chance, there will always be other people with ulterior motives who will get this opportunity, right?

My widow's father told you this not to blame you. Instead, he felt that sometimes you do things too extreme. Decisive decisions are not bad things. However, everything is in moderation, and too much is not enough.

Sometimes you think you are a decisive decision, how can you know what you are in the eyes of the world?

If everyone in the world thinks you are a ruthless tyrant, then no matter how powerful you are, you are just a mirror and a moon."

The Lord Father patted Zhao He on the shoulder and said earnestly: "A king is ruthless, but not ruthless. This is the life experience that the widow has experienced for many years. The widow's father said to you today. I hope you think and experience it well."

Zhao He was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."

The Lord's Father laughed: "Okay, it's been a long time too, let's go out. Otherwise, the people outside should be anxious."

The father and son came out side by side. Outside the Taimiao, countless subjects roared over and bowed to worship.

The sun is brilliant and the sun is shining.

What a great scene for a strong country.
