The ancestor of Zhao Ji is Zhao Chuan, and the ancestor of Zhao Yang is Zhao Dun.

The ancestors of the two were originally just cousins, but their relationship was very close and harmonious.

During the trouble in the imperial palace that year, at the call of Jin Jinggong, the nobles who had been oppressed by the Zhao family rose up and attacked the Zhao family.

Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo were caught off guard and were brutally killed.

Zhu Ji hated Yuan and raised his butcher's knife to his clan, venting out the hatred accumulated by the Ying surname over the years.

For a time, the ancestral temple was stained with blood, and the Zhao family was brutally exterminated...

Fortunately, Han Jue, who was grateful to the Zhao family for his support and kindness in the past, stepped forward and spoke up for Zhao family, which to a certain extent awakened the red-eyed Jinggong.

Jin Jinggong then ordered his nephew Zhao Wu to inherit the surname Ying, and ordered Qi Xi to return the fiefdom to the Zhao family.

Duke Jinggong of Jin established the authority of the monarch, and the purpose of recruiting the ministers was achieved, so Zhao Wu was restored.

Zhao Wu was about ten years old at that time.

How can an underage child control such an empty family?

Zhao Wu was young and could not manage the household, so he relied on Zhao Zhan to take care of his affairs both internally and externally. Fortunately, Zhao Zhan became mature after the disaster in the lower palace, and was no longer as arrogant and domineering as he was when he was young, and also lost his domineering capital...

This Zhao Zhan was actually Zhao Ji's great-grandfather.

In Zhao Dun's lineage, his sons were Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo begat Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu begat Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Cheng begat Zhao Yangling.

Zhao Wu is the grandfather of Zhao Yang.

In Zhao Chuan's lineage, Zhao Chuan had a son, Zhao Zhan, Zhao Zhan had a son, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng had a son, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu had a son, Zhao Ji.

So in terms of relationship, Zhao Ji is the younger brother of Zhao Yang, and the relationship is already relatively distant.

"Zhifu, my relationship with you is that we are brothers in the clan."

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the steps, smiled slowly and said: "In the past, you were the head of the Zhao family, a large sect, while I was just the head of the Handan family, a small sect."

"You are the king, and I am the minister. Now I am the king of Zhao, and I am the head of the Zhao family!"

"You are a minister, and I am a king!"

"Do you agree with this?"

Hearing this, Yin Duo, who was sitting next to Zhao Yang, his face darkened and he was very angry.

However, Zhao Yang calmly lowered his hands towards Zhao Ji and said, "I agree."

"good!"

Zhao Ji was quite satisfied with Zhao Yang's attitude. He smiled smugly and said again: "The king is the king, and the minister is the minister!"

"I am the king of the country and the head of a large clan. Should you, Zhao Yang, pay homage to me?"

"you!"

You Wujie, who was sitting on the side, stared with his eyes bulging with blue veins on his forehead. He could hardly hold back the anger in his heart and drew his sword towards Zhao Ji.

Fortunately, Zhao Yang held Wu Shi's thigh and glanced at him, signaling him not to act rashly.

"If the king wants Zhao Yang to salute, I...should obey!"

This is undoubtedly a very humiliating thing for Zhao Yang.

When had he ever been insulted like this?

In the past, Zhao Yang only paid homage to the marquis of Jin and the king of Jin, and it had to be in a serious occasion.

】

During normal banquets, Zhao Yang does not need to pay court courtesy to his monarch.

Now, once Zhao Ji succeeded, he actually asked Zhao Yang to do such an excessive thing?

It’s really too much of a lie!

Fortunately, Zhao Yang knew that a little impatience can ruin a big plan, so he stood up slowly, came to the banquet, flicked his sleeves, folded his hands, and saluted Zhao Ji who was sitting on the steps, and

He kowtowed and said: "I, Zhao Zhifu, see you as the king! I will be the king for ten thousand years!"

"good!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction.

The guests sitting at the bottom couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene.

Why is Zhao Ji so verbose with Zhao Yang?

Wouldn't it be okay to just throw a cup as a signal and let the swordsman come in and kill Zhao Yang to avenge his father's murder?

This is really...

Shebin is really afraid of long nights and many dreams.

If Zhao Yang were let go, not to mention how much trouble it would bring to the newly born Zhao State and Zhao Ji, Wu Wang Qingji would probably be furious and make Zhao Ji unable to bear the consequences.

As for Zhao Ji, he really wanted to humiliate Zhao Yang and was unwilling to let the latter simply die.

After all, the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable!

After Zhao Yang returned to his seat, Zhao Ji sneered again: "Zhifu, the dance music just now is boring to everyone watching."

"My ancestors of the Zhao family built their family with force, why don't we advocate force?"

"Bule."

Zhao Ji set his sights on his confidant General Bu Le, and said with a smile: "Your sword dance is very exquisite, I can let my father-in-law appreciate it and see it for the first time!"

"promise!"

Bu Le understood the idea and immediately drank a glass of wine. Then with a "swish" sound, he unsheathed his sword and came to the banquet to dance.

Bu Le's sword dance is indeed extraordinary. Every sweep and pick is full of masculine and chilling energy.

Suddenly Bu Le made a lunge, moving like clouds and flowing water, and the sword blade swept straight towards Zhao Yang's throat.

Zhao Yang was startled and quickly turned his head to avoid this fatal sword.

But Bu Le still refused to give in. After a few feints with his sword, he continued to approach Zhao Yang.

Where is the sword dancing here?

He clearly wants to use sword dance to kill Zhao Yang!

Zhao Yang's retainer You Wuxie finally couldn't stand it any longer and said in a deep voice: "It's boring for one person to dance with a sword. His sword skills are exquisite. You Wuxie should ask for advice!"

"Please enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, You Wujie decisively drew his sword out of its sheath, knocked away Bule's sword thrust towards Zhao Yang, and then stepped forward and rushed towards Bule.

"clang!"

The two swords collided, emitting violent sparks.

Bu Le and You Wujie looked at each other, their eyes darkened, and then they each waved their swords and started a hearty "sword dance".

It is said to be a sword dance, but in fact the two men used their swords to kill people with their moves, which can be said to be extremely sharp.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yang couldn't help but swallowed hard and rolled his eyes.

Zhao Yang suddenly had an idea and said to Zhao Ji who was on the steps: "Your Majesty, I would like to relieve myself..."

"Urine?"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown.

"Exactly."

Zhao Yang nodded and said: "As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs. After the king and I have had a rest, I will come back to have a banquet with the king!"

"inappropriate!"

The guests involved immediately stood up to stop him and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shangqing suddenly said that he wanted to relieve himself. This is clearly an excuse and he is contemptuous of the monarch!"

"Please give me a clear warning from your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guest did not forget to wink at Zhao Ji, signaling Zhao Ji to let people take action immediately.

Only then did Zhao Ji understand it.

"monarch!"

Just when Zhao Ji was about to throw down the wine lord, Zhao Yang suddenly shouted loudly, and then shouted: "I can't hold it in any longer! Go first!"

"Same goes for you, too!"

Yin Duo and You Wujie all followed Zhao Yang. When they passed a turning door in the hall, they saw the swordsman squatting here...

The atmosphere was very awkward.

"well!"

After a long while, Shebin looked at Zhao Ji who was stunned on the spot, stamped his feet in anger, and said angrily: "Your Majesty! What do you want me to say about you? Zhao Yang escaped with the excuse of urinating! How could you?

Let him go!"

"Quick! Send people to catch up! Kill Zhao Yang!"
