604. Chapter 604 Transformation
Mr. Zhao was grateful to Zhou Shao from the bottom of his heart, but he was unwilling to blame the prince in person, which made Zhao Xi come to seek death again. Mr. Zhao spoke for Zhou Shao and said, "Doctor Zhao, don't be ignorant of the good people's hearts. Your life was saved by General Zhou. Even if the force of pushing you is too strong and you can't stand it, but without this push, I'm afraid you will have blood splattered in my Handan Palace Hall."
Zhao Xi's face turned red and white, a little annoyed and a little ashamed. He was impulsive and anxious just now, because he was worried that Zhao Hou would punish the crown prince and even depose Zhao Yongchujun's status. Then how should Zhao Xi explain to his wife Meng Di?
Zhao Yong is also Meng Di's nephew, and it is the hope of the Meng family. If such a terrible ending was caused by an inappropriate advice she brought into the palace, then Meng Di would definitely not spare her, and maybe the couple would both part because of this.
After all, in this world, it is common for a woman to divorce her husband and leave her husband's family. Just like a husband divorces his wife, it is normal.
Zhao Xi is a person with extreme self-esteem. Although he is unwilling to seek death, he still dissatisfied. He replied to Zhao Hou: "The advice given by the ministers is not his own private opinion. Many ministers in Zhao State have the same views as me. I believe the king knows it too. Zhao Rong, who is the chief of the Zhao clan, and the younger brother of the king, is also a person who strongly opposes the convening of the joint meeting."
"I can stop making any suggestions, but Zhao Rong and other ministers may still be unable to convince me. The emperor must take care of the opinions of the subjects of Zhao State."
After hearing Zhao Xi's words, Zhao Hou not only did not take them seriously, but instead burst into laughter. Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Hou strangely, not knowing why he laughed.
Mr. Zhao held back his smile and said, "Doctor Zhao, you are too worried. You personally oppose the Zhao State to hold the Joint League Conference. It does not mean that others have the same views as you. It is a pity that you are talking about Zong Zheng Zhao Rong, but they have changed a lot."
Since Zhao Xi returned to Handan, he has not been to court, so he has not seen Zhao Rong either. How could he know that Zhao Rong was actually at the same time and his attitude became so fast?
Zhao Xi murmured to himself in confusion: "How is this possible? I remember that he was the leader of the past and opposed the lord the most. He also personally found me to jointly give advice. What's going on?"
Zhao Hou said, "Only you, Doctor Zhao Xi, hitting your head against the wall and never turning back, will make a turn. Why do you just keep thinking about it? Let's talk about the joint advice. In the end, you pushed you to the forefront and hid behind the scenes. You must also reflect on yourself, don't be always regarded as a leader."
Mr. Zhao knew Zhao Xi very well. Many years ago, Su Qin was appointed Prime Minister of Zhao. He was the first person to be introduced to give advice at the ceremony of Prime Minister's Residence. As a result, the words he made were not adopted, which made Mr. Zhao very dissatisfied with him.
Later, when opposing Zhao's congress and other matters, he was repeatedly pushed to the front desk and acted as a pawn, but Zhao Xi was happy. If Zhao Hou had not had a little favor with his straightness, he would have been replaced by a monarch who could not deeply understand the character of the minister, Zhao Xi would have long become cannon fodder on others' path forward.
Mr. Zhao taught Zhao Xi a few words in person, wanting to wake him up, he continued: "This morning, the minister of the court meeting, Zhao Rong, formally made suggestions to me that he would personally invite the various princes and envoys who came to attend the General Assembly in the name of the Zhao clan to be held before the General Assembly."
After hearing this, Zhao Xi widened his eyes in surprise and looked incredible. How could he believe that Zhao Rong, who had been standing in the same camp as him in the past, had become a person who supported the Union Alliance. Not only did he not object, he also made a request to invite envoys, which was exactly the intention of pleading with the monarch and Prime Minister Su Qin.
Zhao Xi cursed in his heart: "You treacherous Zhao Rong, at the critical moment, you became a turtle with your head shrink, and turned into a good man, and instead put me Zhao Xi on the fire to barbecue." At this moment, Zhao Xi never had to listen to Zhao Hou's lesson honestly again, and he lowered his head in shame.
Zhao Hou said again: "Everything must be flexible. It is impossible to do everything according to your wishes. If things do not follow your direction, you cannot just oppose it without knowing to be tolerant."
As Zhao Hou said, he also looked at his son Zhao Yong. He was the crown prince. These words of Mr. Zhao were undoubtedly to tell his son. Zhao Yong was afraid of his father's gaze and did not dare to look directly. He lowered his head and did not speak, but he felt that this was wrong, so he nodded gently.
Seeing that the prince had a little reaction, he stopped scolding people with a stern face. Zhao Hou said to Su Qin: "Since my younger brother Zongzheng Zhao Rong has this kind of intention, I think it is appropriate. My hospitality for the envoys can be officially held on the night of the alliance of the Huanshui Conference, which is considered a banquet held in the name of Zhao. However, before that, if Zongzheng Zhao Rong comes forward to entertain guests in the name of the Zhao clan, it can be even more polite and considerate."
Su Qin did not want to arrange a lot of concierge before the Union Conference was held, which would easily cause trouble. Even himself was not going to hold a banquet for all the envoys in the Peach Garden.
He thought about it carefully for a long time, but hesitated. Mr. Zhao had already agreed to his younger brother Zhao Rong in the morning, so how could he go back on his word?
Therefore, when Zhao Hou saw Su Qin pondering, he advised: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Su, although my younger brother has opposed the Union General Assembly before, he is a descendant of Zhao's family, so he still puts the overall situation first. Now, he has put this suggestion, and I think it's good, so I agree to him and hope that the Prime Minister will not stop him."
When Su Qin heard that Zhao Hou had agreed to Zhao Rong, the wood was already in line, so what else could he hesitate? He had no choice but to nod and agreed: "It's just that I don't object to me, but I'll make the decision by the emperor."
Zhao Hou said, "Well, that's right. Since you don't object, Prime Minister Su must go there on the day of the banquet, otherwise the envoys from various countries will not be able to see Prime Minister Su, and they may be surprised."
Zhao Xi thought of asking Zhao Rong in person: "Why did he change his mind so quickly!" He took the initiative to make a request and said: "I am not talented and I am willing to go to the banquet on the same day. I don't know if the emperor agrees."
Mr. Zhao thought Zhao Xi had come around, so he was very pleased and replied: "Doctor Zhao Xi can have this self-awareness, which is a great thing. Since you are willing to go, why don't I agree to you?"
