There is only one prerequisite for Zhiyao to keep the results of her hard work, which is to become the heir to the position of head of the Zhi family.
Then there is a cruel fact. Zhizhuo needs to die first, and after Zhishen becomes the head of the Zhi family, Zhiyao must be confirmed as the heir.
So, at least before Zhi Yao passed away, no matter what he did, no matter how he was expected to become the heir, his identity was not confirmed for a day, or even if he was confirmed as the heir, he would not become the head of the family until the day
With the arrival of the family, all efforts may be to lay the foundation for the family. Whether Zhiyao can enjoy the results is unknown.
"If possible, I still hope that my grandfather can live longer." Zhiyao thought to herself.
Of course he wants to take power as soon as possible, but he also hopes that his elders can live longer. Furthermore, once Zhishen is gone, with Zhishen's weak character, Zhishen will no longer have the power of 'Yuanrong', and he will surely fall into trouble again.
It's a period of decline.
As for how many more years Zhizong can live, Zhiyao, as a junior, does not seem optimistic.
Childhood misfortune made Zhizhu suffer from mental illness. His experience was not as miserable as that of Zhao Wu, but he could not cheer up like Zhao Wu.
The conflict between the Zhao family and Handan Zhao this time is very illustrative of the problem.
If you are a capable and tough "Yuan Rong", it is still possible to join one of the conflicting parties to make profits on the premise of not being a peacemaker.
Zhizong pretended to be deaf and mute throughout the whole process and did not take any action against Zhao Yang for imprisoning Zhao Wu. He also watched the Zhao family, the Han family confront the Fan family, the Zhongxing family, and the seemingly neutral Wei family also jumped up and down, all of a sudden.
Everyone saw Zhishi's weakness.
"There are many rumors, but it is not appropriate for someone to speak for a high official." Taihu felt humiliated.
People who cannot be tough are not suitable to serve as "Yuanrong" of the Jin State. On the one hand, they cannot make people respect (fear) them. On the one hand, the nobles are not optimistic that such "Yuanrong" can lead everyone to seek benefits for other countries.
There was a saying in later generations: "If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." When it was the turn of the Jin Dynasty, it became "I can't lead everyone to eat meat, so I will die as soon as possible."
It is completely conceivable that countless Jin nobles cursed Zhi Zhao to die quickly so that the tough-looking Zhao Yang would lead them to eat meat.
Zhiyao thought to herself: "If I were not a member of the Zhi family, I would definitely not want to be associated with such a high official. In a certain respect, Jin people's thoughts are similar to Maozi's, and they very much hope that the country will be governed by strong people;
The difference is that most of the time the Jin State at least follows unspoken rules and will wait for weak leaders to die and will not resort to resorting to means."
Taihu had just come from "Xintian" and brought some supplies to Zhiyao. At the same time, he also brought news that Zhishen asked Zhiyao to return to "Xintian".
It has been three years since Zhiyao left "Xintian". He is nine years old this year, and the time has come to 498 BC.
In the past three years, except for the intensified conflict between the Zhao family and Handan Zhao, and the gradually worsening relations between the Zhao family, the Han family, the Fan family, and the Zhonghang family, no major events occurred in the Jin state.
The Jin State was in a state where civil strife had not occurred. In fact, no major events had occurred in other countries. Generally speaking, most people were able to enjoy peace.
Zhishen has been to "Huangfu" many times. The longest time he stayed was less than half a year, and more often than not he left again after coming for about half a month.
During these three years, Zhiyao stayed at "Huang's Father" and became his own "inventor". Not only did he tinker with paper, but he also improved the writing brush... which meant that he took Meng Tian's job away.
With paper and improved brushes, Zhiyao found that she still had to improve ink.
Why does even ink need to be improved? The reason is of course that the previous ink was usually written on bamboo slips or wooden boards, and was rarely used to write on silk books. Once writing on paper, other issues need to be considered.
All in all, Zhiyao has become an "inventor" in the past three years and has invented countless things, but a lot of them need to be kept secret, that is, they cannot be shown to others publicly.
It’s not that you’re afraid of being imitated. Currently, there is actually a “patent right” thing, which is not restricted by law, but completely protected by secular rules. To put it simply, if you dare to imitate, you must be mentally prepared to be beaten. If you cannot bear it, you will be beaten.
He deserves to die and be reviled for generations.
"Would Danzi be willing to go to 'Xintian'?" Zhiyao asked.
Three years ago, I said I was only willing to stay in Jin for one year. However, three years later, I still stayed at "Huangfu" as a guest.
In addition to teaching Zhishi's group of teenagers, he usually discusses with Zhiyao the relationship between "Tao follows nature" whenever he gets the chance.
At first, Zhiyao could still talk about "Tao" with me. Later, Zhiyao's limited knowledge was emptied. He hid whenever he could. If he couldn't, he would change the topic.
I will be served very comfortably at Zhishi. I have new research topics and all the resources I want, so I simply won’t be able to stay for a long time.
The number of study companions transferred by Zhiyao to "Father Huang" has increased to two hundred. Most of them cannot actually be trained to become elites. After all, only a few people can become talents.
In addition to learning various liberal arts knowledge, they will also have Zhiyao personally serve as an instructor for military-related training.
Zhiyao actually picked out some of the skills he learned when he was a soldier in his "previous life" and combined them with the needs of today's era to teach them.
The father summoned him, and he didn't say why yet, so he couldn't tolerate Zhiyao's refusal.
After arriving in Jin, the last place I wanted to go to was "Xintian". He learned that Zhiyao was leaving "Father Huang", and then he thought that the knowledge that should be taught had been taught, so he said goodbye to Zhiyao solemnly, saying
He is going back to Chu State.
Zhiyao tried to persuade me to stay, but seeing that I was resolute, she gave him gifts and arranged for family warriors to escort him.
What Zhiyao didn't expect was that I would come back on my own later!
Before the snow season came, Zhiyao arrived at "Xintian".
When Zhiyao returned to "Xintian", the first thing she did when she entered the mansion was of course to say hello to her grandfather. While waiting outside the door, she overheard the speech inside.
Around the summer of this year, the great event of "falling the three capitals" occurred in the State of Lu.
The background is that some of the retainers and dependent nobles of the three states of Lu State were out of control. Among them, the "Fei", "Tai", and "Cheng" cities were the most out of control. The county magistrates (county magistrates) who controlled these cities not only refused to execute the orders from the family heads.
With the order, he also privately expanded the city and raised the city wall.
Confucius, who had just been promoted from Zhongdu Zai to Sikou, didn't know what he was thinking, so he went to Lu Jun Song to propose severe punishment.
A long time ago, Lord Lu was unable to actually control the Kingdom of Lu, and most of the power fell into the hands of the Jisun, Shusun and Mengsun clans.
The kings of Lu in the past have always wanted to take back their power, but every generation of kings of Lu has failed.
Of course Lu Junsong did not dare to make the decision privately, so he asked Sanhuan and got his consent.
With the acquiescence of Lu Jun, Song and Sanhuan, Confucius, who was promoted to Sikou, suddenly found that he had become very powerful. Not only did he get what he wanted, he even had an army that obeyed his orders, so he ordered the minister who was serving as the head of the Ji family.
Zilu led his troops and set off.
"Confucius originally wanted to increase the power of Lu Jun, but the Ji Shu family and the Meng Sun family took advantage of it. The Lu Gong family was also stupid. This move will definitely cause chaos in Lu, and the one who benefits will be Qi!"
Zhiyao heard the stranger's speech and thought about it carefully before recalling that it was Zhao Yang's voice.
What's going on?
Zhao Yang actually came to Lao Zhi’s house? What a rare guest!
