Zhi Zhuoyou remembered that when he first became the head of the Zhi family, the Zhi family was in an absolute disadvantage, and the Zhi family was established through Zhishuo and Zhiying!
As the heir, Zhishuo died young, and then Zhiying also died of illness before she could train Zhiying. Zhiying also had many plans that were not implemented and were lost.
In the Jin Kingdom, the strife between the various ministerial families has been very serious since a long time ago. Let’s not mention the long-standing struggle. The Zhao family, the Que family, and the Luan family perished or were kicked out in less than twenty years. At the corner, Luan, who had retired from politics, disappeared in a silent way.
The most evil person in the Spring and Autumn Period forced Luan Shu to plot his whole life, and the descendants of his descendants were also plotted to the point of disappearing. It is hard not to say that they reaped the consequences.
As for the Luan family's silent disappearance, it is probably because of the Fan family, the Zhi family, the Zhongxing family, the Wei family, the Han family, and the Zhao family that Luan Shu was responsible for getting rid of Duke Li of Jin's disgust. Otherwise, Luan Shu would be more likely to disappear. The more he does, the greater the chance that several families will unite to kill Luan.
Zhiying, who had been a "Yuanrong", was very greedy and repeatedly provoked the Wei family, Han family and Fan family. If Wu Zhongxing hadn't taken care of Zhiying at that time, it's hard to say whether Zhiying would have followed the footsteps of the other ministers who have disappeared. A descendant of the family.
Under the care of BOC Wu, although Zhishi has repeatedly lost various things in the past ten years, Zhiying was able to sit down in the position of "Qing".
Before Wu Shou of Bank of China passed away, the head of the Zhi family, Zhi Ying, passed away untimely again. It was Zhi Shuang's turn to take over the Zhi family, which seemed even more uncertain.
Fortunately, BOC Wu continued to protect Zhishi, but Zhishuang was different from Zhiying.
In the era when Zhiying was the master of the family, he actually did not pay much attention to the care from BOC Wu. Many times he would not give BOC Wu face, and at the same time, he always felt that he had ulterior motives for taking care of Zhao.
Zhiying, who wanted to do something to Mrs. Zhao, failed, and got the same result as her father Zhishuo, and died suddenly one day.
Zhizong, who took over the family at a young age, was extremely scared. Fortunately, although Zhongxing Wu was a "veteran" general, he only climbed to the position of sergeant in the whole life, but Zhongxing Wu was still extremely capable and handled the situation properly. There is a place for the Zhi family in the position of Qing.
Speaking of Zhongxing Wu, it is indeed a tragedy. He served as "Qing" in the era of Shigai, and later went through the ruling career of Zhao Wu, Han Qi, and Wei Shu. At one time, he could clearly compete for the "Yuanrong" throne, but only the Zhao, Han and The Wei family jointly suppressed it, and he himself made concessions.
The retreat of the Zhongxing family during the Zhongxing Wu era stimulated Zhongxing Yin to some extent. This was also one of the main reasons why Zhongxing Yin later felt that the Zhi family was a burden and went to have a good relationship with Fan's brother.
After Zhongxing and Wu Shou died, Zhishuang became a helpless person. Especially when Wei Shu came to power and Shi Yang came to power, the country of Jin became very terrifying.
Shi Yang is really too domineering, too bastard, and too greedy. With the support of the Zhongxing clan, there is no limit to what he can do. He can even do things like "removing the cypress wood from Wei Shu's coffin and ordering it to be buried according to the standards of a doctor." .
In other words, the Wei family did not fight against the Fan family, mainly because the Wei family could endure it at the time, and based on the mentality of "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge", his successors continued to strengthen their relationship with the Zhao family.
Therefore, the Wei family later stood on the side of the Zhao family, together with the Han family, and wanted to bring the Zhi family with them, but Zhizhuo backed down. The Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Han family all worked together to plot against Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin.
It can be said that the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were deceived.
Zhizhuo, who has lost his backer, has become more low-key. At that stage? In fact, Zhizhuo is in a state of "people are under the roof". Zhizhuang, who is accustomed to "bowing his head" during his growth stage, has relatively big problems in his mentality. Not only is there a lack of internal
Due to the centripetal force, even after Zhishi cleaned up the interior, Zhizhu was still a bit unable to be strong.
Jisong gave birth to his eldest son Zhishen. What's terrible is that Zhishen doesn't look like a person who can take on big responsibilities. What's even worse is that the other children are even worse.
Zhishen's mediocrity and the unbearability of the other heirs made Zhishen very anxious, which made it difficult for Zhishen to rise up.
In fact, Zhishen took Shi Yang's lesson a bit too far. He was worried that what he had done would arouse the resentment of other families. He was afraid that Zhishen did not have the intelligence to deal with the plots of his enemies and could not withstand the revenge of those families, so he took many measures that could
If you don't fight, you will choose to tolerate even if you lose your interests. To outsiders, you will look like a coward in disguise.
"The only time I showed my sharpness was when I plotted against the Qi family."
That time, Zhizong admitted that he was bewitched by Liang Ying's father. Wasn't it just a push-over?
The Liang family of Liang Ying's father is a small clan of the Zhao family.
Zhizong has been watching the current situation coldly. Although he has a lot of psychological defects due to the shadow of his childhood, he still has some "instincts" as the head of a large family. For example, he will seize the opportunity to plant a nail within the Zhao family.
"What I didn't expect was that Liang Ying's father could be such a waste, right? The chess piece only played a role in destroying the unity of the Zhao family, but he was attacked and killed in public during a mission."
Zhizong really didn't expect that Liang Ying's father would be successfully attacked and killed. He was annoyed that so many plans on Liang Ying's father were in vain. He once wanted to kill Yu Rang quietly.
"Since when did I start to feel that my plan was not important? I even gave up on killing Yu Rang and letting out the bad breath in my heart."
In other words, Zhizong really wanted to kill Yurang at that time, but he immediately gave up the idea of killing Yurang just because Yurang once wanted to join Zhiyao.
What changed many of Zhi Yao's thoughts happened in 501 BC, which was the day Zhi Yao began to express himself.
Zhiyao began to exert his strength, and in just three years, the productivity within the Zhi clan increased by more than one step, and then he led his army to defeat the coalition forces of the princes.
All kinds of new tools appeared in Zhishi. As the "inventor" Zhiyao made many tools, but might have forgotten them. Zhizhuo, who had been observing Zhiyao, would not ignore them.
Zhi Yao has become a "collecting maniac" for a long time. As long as Zhi Yao invents something, he will not take it for a look right away, but he will definitely study it later.
That creates a phenomenon: if Zhiyao "invents" something and teaches it what to use it and how to use it, it is very likely that he will forget what he has "invented" later, so that the new tools "invented" by Zhiyao can really be used to their fullest potential.
The most valuable person is Zhizhu!
At this point, Zhizong did very smoothly. After all, he has been the head of a big family for such a long time, so he can clearly see what is beneficial and how to promote it in a suitable way.
And when Zhizong discovered that Zhiyao would always ignore the value of new tools, he told Zhishen more than once to be like him and not to interfere with Zhiyao's enthusiasm for "inventions", but to find ways to use those "inventions" in the right place.
He was actually very scared when he found out that his grandson could be such an outstanding intellectual.
I especially remember that Zhishuo also showed various intelligences at a very young age. He was able to participate in the management of the family at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but he died of illness early before he could take over.
Zhishuo's death was a very long process. He was diagnosed with illness when he was about ten years old. Later, he would have a serious illness every year. After a long illness, his body completely collapsed and his death was sudden one day.
"My grandson has been free from illness and disaster since he was a child and will not die young!"
This is Zhi Shuang’s long-term observation and it is also the biggest wish in life.
What Zhiyao shows is not only intelligence, but intelligence alone means she appears smart in some things.
Zhisong once thought that Zhiyao would be an enhanced version of Zhiying, but later found out that was not the case.
"My grandson is more like a gift from birth, an immeasurable treasure given to Zhishi by God!"
Zhizhuo had guesses about many things and even found the answers.
But? He didn't say anything. After discovering it, no matter how outrageous Zhiyao's request was, he would give Zhiyao every convenience possible, and also made Zhishen swear to do the same after taking over the position of the head of the family.
"Shen is a mediocre person, but he is a very good kid."
Zhishen was originally quite disappointed with Zhishen, but after discovering Zhiyao's abnormality, her feelings towards Zhishen also changed.
If Zhiyao is destined to lead Zhishi to a certain peak, the mediocre Zhishen will no longer be a mistake for Zhishi. On the contrary, Zhishen will become Zhishi because Zhishen is mediocre but self-aware and dotes on Zhiyao very much.
This is definitely something to be thankful for.
With this discovery, a big stone was removed from Jisun's heart, and her view towards Jishen also changed.
By the way, Jisung would not yell at Jishen before, but a father would always look at his son with disappointed eyes, which would still cause a psychological shadow on his son.
One day, Zhishen suddenly found that his father no longer looked at him with disappointed eyes. Although he couldn't understand what was going on, he felt really happy.
"It doesn't matter if your son is useless, as long as he recognizes his own abilities. My grandson has extremely strong domestic affairs capabilities and also has military achievements. What I saw may be a small part of what was shown?"
Just those discoveries made Zhizhu extremely satisfied and full of expectations for Zhizhi's future.
"My generation has merged with the Zhongxing clan. Although it will need to be returned to Zhongxing Qi in the future, for the time being, the fiefdom, population, and resources have undoubtedly become the largest in the country. Even if Zhao Yang is arrogant and domineering, how can he dare to easily provoke a war with the Zhi clan? I have doubts.
It’s the Wei family that belongs to them. Once they break their alliance and re-ally with the Wei family, the Zhi family will be in danger.”
Zhizong had never believed in the Wei family, and chose to form an alliance with the Wei family only out of the needs of the current situation.
"Yao saw the situation very clearly, and really weakened and controlled the next generation of the Zhao family, and made good friends with the next generation of the Wei and Han families. If he takes the first step, he will lead step by step."
"The biggest responsibility of Shen's generation is to settle things down. With his temperament, he will treat the Zhongxing family well. Zhongxing Qi is deeply favored by the Zhi family and cannot cause chaos."
"When Yao takes over the family, there is a high possibility that only part of the fiefdom will be returned to the Zhongxing clan, but I will bear the bad reputation."
Zhizong, who was thinking about something, seemed to hear a call? He wanted to open his eyes, but couldn't, and found that he seemed to be no longer breathing???
"Are you going to die? I always feel like I've lived for two more years."
"Is it appropriate for me to leave now?"
"By the way, where is Yao? Don't rush back because you are too eager, the guards you bring are too few!"
"I still have a lot of things I haven't said to Shen and Yao, and I haven't been able to protect them from the wind and rain."
Many things began to flash through Zhizong's mind, some confirmed, some not sure before, one by one appeared at an extremely fast speed.
"What Yao wants is not to become the strongest in the country. Isn't Yao trying to develop vigorously or even eagerly to suppress other families?"
"What does he want to do? Yes, that's what he wants."
“Having such a big heart, is it a blessing or a curse?”
