Chapter 3: Play with Li Er
Zhiyao was very concerned about what Zhao Yang wanted to do, because he knew that once Zhao in Handan was in trouble, Zhongxing and Fan would intervene.
Jin State is roughly divided into three factions: The Zhao family, Han family and Wei family are unagreeable; the Fan family and Zhongxing family are allies; the third camp is the neutral faction, and the Zhi family is considered the only noble family of the neutral faction, and the rest are many small and medium-sized nobles.
Where did the Duke tribe of Jin go? Since Luan Shu destroyed Sanke, the Duke tribe has become weaker and then Duke Dao of Jin saved a wave. However, Duke Dao of Jin died when he was very young. He failed to consolidate the vested results of helping the Duke tribe "recovering blood". He was soon divided up by the Qing family and the rest of the family.
At present, the Dukes of Jin are not too weak. They are just too loose to twist into a rope.
"With the efficiency of doing things now, even though Zhao Yang imprisoned Zhao Wu and Zhao did not gather troops to take action immediately, it would take at least another year, right? Besides, Shiji She and Zhongxing Yin are not vegetarians, and things must have changed." Zhiyao thought to himself.
He gained some rights from Zhishi with a delicacy, including being able to mobilize Zhishi's retainers to purchase materials outside the family, and being able to take things at will from the family's treasury.
It was not a delicacy, it was the younger generation who was filial to their grandfather and father and won the favor of the head of the family.
In addition to the head of the family, Zhixiao, he had only Jishen's power to mobilize the retainers and use the treasury supplies before, but now there is another Zhiyao, but Zhixiao, as the eldest son, does not.
Zhiyao knew that Zhixiao would inevitably seek to see Zhixiao and gain the same rights.
This is also one of Zhiyao's plans to strive for his heir status. He repeatedly used similar tricks in the past few years to force Zhixiao to fight again and again, which made Zhixiao and Zhishen feel that Zhixiao's requests too much.
All families at present are very realistic. Even if they are members of the direct line, they do not contribute to the family, but instead make the demands over and over again, which will not only make the people in power feel greedy, but will also make many vassals and retainers have negative views.
Because of the indirect agitation of Jisun's failure, Jisun even felt surprised, which made Jiyao completely understand that he could not interfere in family affairs for the time being.
"Ancestor." Zhiyao first observed outside the door of Zhiyao's office for a while, and found that Zhiyao stopped before saying hello.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, even in the late period, there were no public offices...that is, office spaces established by the government. Anyone with an official position usually works at home, and only when there is a major event will he go to the palace to discuss under the witness of the king.
You can see that there are many shelves in the room where Zhifeng is located, and bundles of bamboo slips are placed on the partitions of each wooden rack.
"What's the matter?" Zhiqi looked quite tired, but he still showed a happy expression when he saw Zhiyao coming.
Zhiyao saluted again and said, "I heard that there was a wise man in 'Luoyi' and wanted to visit him and ask for advice."
The Zhou royal family had long declined, so where did the wise men come from? Some scholars who went to the "Library" of the "Luoyi" from other countries to borrow books.
Zhiqiu thought for a while and asked, "Is it a posthumous posthumous name Boyang?"
Not many people know who the name Posthuo Boyang is. He is Li Er, that is, Laozi.
Regarding the wise men of "Luoyi", all the countries actually know who they refer to, and there is no one else except me.
Lao Tzu was originally from Li, but Li was destroyed and annexed by Chu in the seventh year of King Jing of Zhou (538 BC).
Therefore, I am now a Chu native who lives in "Luoyi" and occasionally returns to his hometown.
Zhiyao replied: "That's right."
Zhifeng pulled his beard and seemed to be thinking carefully. After a while, he said, "Sure."
In fact, he was thinking just now: "If the Zhao family wants to destroy Zhao in Handan, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family will never sit idly by and watch Zhao in Handan. There will be a war between the two sides. My family will definitely be involved. I still haven't figured out which side to choose to stand on, and maybe I can follow the story of Duke Wen (Chunger)?"
Can Zhiyao, who is only six years old, run around? It depends on which family the child is. The larger the family, the more they like the children traveling around to increase their knowledge. For small families, there is no capital to maintain the family operation, so where can the money be provided for the children to study? Then there are no more guards to accompany them.
With the current years, not only are there empty areas everywhere, but there are also many beasts in the wild, so you can't go back if you go out alone and go out for a walk around the wilderness.
"Where are you going?" Zhixiao found that the family was a little disturbing. After inquiring, he found out that it was Zhiyao who attracted him and ran to Zhiyao to ask.
Zhiyao said, "Zu promised me to go to 'Luoyi'."
The young Zhixiao was a little jealous at first, but then he thought: "I want it too when he goes out!"
Zhiyao looked at Zhixiao's back and forth, but actually felt a boring feeling in his heart.
Zhiyao, who looks only six years old, has a soul from later generations. After excluding the soul-destroying, he has to adapt to various customs and customs of the Spring and Autumn Period. He also has to adapt to the logic and values of thinking, and he can still crush Zhixiao from all aspects.
So, Zhiyao is simply bullying people when playing "palace fighting skills" with Zhixiao.
Zhixiao, who left Zhiyao, went to find Zhixiao, and she looked at him very much. She waited until Zhixia was not busy and asked for a visit, and she also asked to go out for a trip.
Zhifeng is still very happy that his third generation is so motivated.
He knew that Zhixiao was competing with his younger brother again, but he asked with a smile: "Where are you going to travel?"
There are only a few academic experts in the current era. Jin State has "named" many bigwigs because of its hegemony. The problem is that it is a bit serious, either inclined to military or legal rules.
Zhixiao thought it through when he came and said, "I want to go to Linzi to ask Yan Zi for advice."
Yan Zi was Yan Ying. He participated in the governance of Qi when he was very young and created many stories. Among them, the mission to Chu State and the killing of three soldiers in the second Taoist country are the most widely circulated in contemporary times.
No matter what, Zhixiao is also the grandson of the contemporary "Yuan Rong" of Jin State. Even if Qi is prosperous under the rule of Yan Ying, and Qi and Jin State have not been dealing with each other for a long time, the grandson of Jin State "Yuan Rong" of Jin State will still be met if he comes to ask for advice.
But Zhiqi's expression was a little strange when he heard Zhixiao's desire to ask Yan Ying for advice. He was silent for a while and said, "Qi Zhengqing has been ill in bed for several years. How can he teach you?"
Zhixiao was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't know many great sages, so he quickly started to think about who to ask his grandfather to visit.
Zhixiao didn't know that Yan Ying was terminally ill. The one who had objected that Zhixiao was blind and deaf about Zhao's attack on Handan Zhao, and was dissatisfied with the current situation of proposing to go to Qi.
If the Zhao family attacked Zhao in Handan, the location where the civil war broke out would be in the central and western parts of Jin.
If the Fan family and the Zhongxing family decided to stand on the side of Zhao in Handan, there would be a big chaos in Jin.
In the current situation, Zhixiao actually wants to go to Qi State, which may take advantage of the situation at any time. He is already twelve years old, so why isn't the child of a big family sensitive to the situation?
Why would Zhiyao get praise when he wanted to go to the Zhou royal family? Of course, it was because the Zhou royal family did not have the strength to intervene in the civil war in Jin State. Moreover, even if the Zhou royal family was already a sign, no one would easily cause trouble in "Luoyi" unless necessary. Zhiyao with enough force would be extremely safe in "Luoyi".
Zhiqi thought to himself: "It would be better to let Zhixiao stay in 'Xintian' so as not to be cheated when going out."
At this time, a retainer came to report that it was news from the south that he could see that Sun Wu had the intention to retire, and then Wu was interested in launching an invasion of Yue.
Sun Wu? That's right, it was Sun Wu, who said "war is a treacherous way", who ended the "gentleman war" in the Xia Dynasty.
Zhixiao was rejected when she was about to go out to study. When he saw Zhixiao getting busy, he thought with a loss in his heart: "Grandfather and father are so partial!"
