Confirming that his old father passed away in his sleep made Zhishen completely lose his ability to think.
The first person to react was Expo Dao. He once again confirmed that Zhishen was dead. He was extremely sad in his heart and would not completely fall into grief and lose his thinking like Zhishen did.
"Your Majesty, I'll call you Guo on the spot, Xiao, and call Gongsun!"
Expo Road has not forgotten what happened today.
No matter whether it was a coincidence or something that Fuguo came to "Xintian" and went to Lao Zhi's house, he should never show his face despite knowing that Zhi Suo summoned Zhi Xiao.
It is the will of the vast majority of the core clan members and important retainers that Zhi Yao will take over one day. They firmly believe that even if Zhishen is mediocre, with such an outstanding successor as Zhi Yao, the momentum of development will still be unstoppable.
To put it bluntly, once Zhi Shuang passes away, many things will change when Zhao Yang takes over the position of "Yuan Rong". The mediocre Zhishen will definitely not be able to stop Zhao Yang's arrogance. With Zhi Yao's consistent performance, no matter whether Zhishen
It can fit any bag.
At the end of her life, Zhi Yao also helped Zhi family to make up a link, that is, Zhi Yao and Fen Ying were engaged, and there was a relationship of son-in-law. In addition, Zhi Yao would not be broken, so that no matter how arrogant and domineering Zhao Yang was,
You need to show some mercy.
"Yao? Yes, it's true." Zhishen came back to his senses, but his body went limp and fell to the ground.
Expo Road repeated the suggestion of confining Fu Guo and Cheng Xiao just now.
Zhishen's mind was completely numb now, and he asked with a blank expression: "Why?"
Expo Dao had no choice but to explain what happened when he led Cheng Xiao over to meet with him, and then he said again: "Regardless of the reason, it is true!"
He was now afraid that Zhishen would refuse, which would give Tang Fuguo the opportunity to bring Cheng Xiao into trouble.
Fundamentally speaking, Cheng Xiao has lost the ability to make trouble on his own. Even if he is the leader of the Cheng family, he cannot mobilize any large-scale force without the approval of Zhizhuo or Zhiyao under special circumstances.
The Fu Guo who was born early is different. Although Fu Clan looks relatively weak, Fu Clan's seniority shows that Fu Clan can also assemble a private army.
Cheng Xiao, who has become prefixed with "Cheng", is Zhishen's eldest son anyway, which makes some die-hard Zhi clan members naturally follow the order of eldest son inheritance.
Therefore, once Fuguo is given time to operate, it will happen to pull out a team to support Cheng Xiao's fight for the crown prince position, and it is very likely to attract the interference of the Zhao family, the Wei family, or the Han family.
As for Zhiyao's defeat of Cheng Xiao and the incidental defeat of the Fu clan who dared to interfere with the inheritance of the main sect, that was all a matter later.
Expo believes that Zhishen should be more decisive and not worry about his own or anyone else's feelings. Anyway, he should put Fu Guo and Cheng Xiao under house arrest first.
How do you feel? To put it bluntly, no matter what, Cheng Xiao is Zhishen's biological son. As a father, he would not be able to do something like putting his son under house arrest, and it would be too embarrassing to spread the word.
",???" Zhishen still didn't react.
Expo Road knew what kind of person Zhishen was before, but he still felt a breath stuck in his chest due to Zhishen's performance.
"Is this, is this too much?" Zhishen finally came to his senses and asked this question.
Outside, Cheng Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, felt a little numb from standing. As soon as he took a step, he was slightly close to the door, but Ran You moved to block him.
Because of his standing position, the sounds in the room came out, and Ran You, who was standing in front of the door, could still hear some vaguely. Although he was not 100% sure, he still realized what was happening in the room.
Now, Ran You waited for the order to come out from inside, and immediately captured Cheng Xiao, and then led his troops to capture the auxiliary fruit as well.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has been waiting for a long time!" Ran You shouted, making Cheng Xiao a little confused.
Zhishen's mind was already in a mess, and when he heard the shouting, he was even more anxious. His lips were trembling for a while, and he couldn't say a word.
Expo Road became fierce and shouted: "In compliance with the order of the Crown Prince, please invite the Cheng family and the Fu family to stay temporarily."
When Ran You heard the shouting, he immediately rushed towards Cheng Xiao who didn't understand the situation at all. Then he called on the others to quickly find the auxiliary fruit and captured it unanimously.
"Why? Why is this!?" Cheng Xiao did not resist. In fact, he could not defeat Ran You even if he resisted. He defeated Ran You and the other old warriors.
Expo Dao, who had established the established fact, came out of the room, glanced at Cheng Xiao who had been controlled, then glanced at the people present, and asked: "Where is Husband?"
"My husband is serving in Gongsun's courtyard." Ran You replied.
Expo nodded to Ran, leaned into Ran You's ear and gave some instructions before walking back into the house.
Zhishen, who was not deaf, could hear Cheng Xiao's question.
There was a short period of time as a buffer period to calm down. Zhishen was very grateful to Expo Road for making the choice for him, but he couldn't show it.
"What else is there?" Zhishen asked.
Expo Road is not worried about Fu Guo slipping through the net at all. The reason is that Fu Guo will come over to say goodbye to Zhisong when he leaves the house. If Fu Guo doesn't come, it means he is still in the house.
What this Zhizong retainer doesn't know is that sometimes certain things are just so fucked up.
"I ask that the crown prince will not mourn for the time being." Expo Road saw Zhishen's expression changed drastically and explained: "Gongsun is not here, the middle army assistants, the lower army assistants, and the lower army generals are all in the capital."
The battle between the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Fan family did not come to an end so quickly. How could Zhao Yang and Wei Chi, who had such a big family to manage, stay on the front line all the time.
Zhishen's death was so sudden. The Zhi family was completely unprepared. Zhi Yao, who could make decisions and dared to make them, was not in "Xintian". Looking at Zhishen's performance just now, you knew that if you make a bad decision, you will have to think about it over and over again.
Expo Road can only recommend that the news of Zhizhuang's death not be announced for the time being.
"This" Zhishen couldn't agree to clearly in words, so he said with a cry: "Wall Yao back quickly!", and the following words were a tacit suggestion.
Expo Road had just asked Ran You to send someone to inform Zhiyao's personal retainers.
The husband is very aware of the urgency of the matter and will inform Zhiyao as quickly as possible.
Zhishen looked at his father who looked like he was sleeping. He couldn't control his sadness and burst into tears.
Cheng Xiao, who was under control, had not yet been taken away. The sudden control, coupled with the fact that Zhishen was crying so heart-wrenchingly in the room, suddenly made him think of something.
Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment when he realized what had happened, then his expression changed again and again, and finally he cried and said, "Why is this? Xiao knows Yao's ability, how can he want to get involved in the throne of the heir apparent."
Those present wished they were born deaf.
The most unfortunate thing for a family is that civil strife breaks out in a certain position, and whoever dies as a result will shed the blood of the same family.
They didn't think Cheng Xiao had the ability to challenge Zhiyao, but they really couldn't hear some words!
After a short while, Zhishen came out, choking with sobs, and said to Cheng Xiao: "The Zhao family is watching eagerly, the Wei family, and the Han family are standing side by side. There must be no disturbance in my family."
At this time, a sound of rapid running came from far and near.
Ran You ran back with a pale face, not caring that Cheng Xiao was also there, and reported: "The Xunfu clan is nowhere to be found!"
Expo Road's face turned a little pale all of a sudden.
"Or going out to visit friends?" Zhishen said softly.
Ran You and Bo Bo Dao looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
At that moment, they might be thinking: "Thankfully there is Zhiyao, otherwise the old Zhi family would have been completely wiped out by the Zhao, Wei and Han families!"
Fu Guo did not formally resign, but he was not at the house and did not tell where he was going?
There are two possibilities for this situation. The first is that you may happen to go out and you will resign before you actually leave "Xintian"; the second is that you greeted Cheng Xiao and knew that you were in trouble and wanted to hide.
stand up.
The mediocre Zhishen thought that Expo Dao wanted to imprison Cheng Xiao and Fu Guo because they were worried about problems in inheritance. He completely failed to realize that Zhishuo's sudden death had the opportunity to do many things to the Zhao, Wei and Han families.
The reason why Expo Dao adopted this strategy was simply because they did not want Zhisong to die too suddenly, and the completely unprepared Zhi family to give the Zhao family, Wei family or Han family any opportunity to take advantage of.
When Ran You saw that no one was talking, he had to say: "Don't want to search for the Fu clan."
Expo Road immediately agreed.
The current situation is that no matter what the reason for Fuguo leaving the house, he definitely didn't know about Zhizong's death.
If Zhishi sends people to look for auxiliary fruits in a big way, or even looks for auxiliary fruits without making any big fanfare, as long as the search behavior is carried out, there will most likely be unpredictable subsequent developments.
Therefore, they cannot look for auxiliary fruits, and the best response is to wait for auxiliary fruits to appear on their own.
"I am deeply saddened and my heart is in chaos." Zhishen felt that he could bear it well enough without fainting.
Expo Road looked at Ran You again.
Are they? Bo Dao is Zhishen's personal retainer, and Ran Youze was recommended by Zhi Yao to serve Zhishen. From a standpoint, they are all on Zhi Yao's side. Something sad has happened, and what he wants to do is
Prevent other more tragic things from happening.
To put it bluntly, both Expo Dao and Ran You wanted Zhishi to be able to survive the loss of the head of the family smoothly, and for Zhiyao to become the heir apparent smoothly.
In order to achieve the above goal, Bobo Dao and Ran You are willing to do some excessive things, even if they will be punished by Zhishen afterwards. When Zhiyao takes over the position of the head of the family, even if they are gone, future generations will not
Will be forgotten by Zhiyao.
Zhishen went back to the room again. Before leaving, he wondered if he had forgotten Cheng Xiao and did not tell him what to do.
""Bo Dao and Ran You looked at each other for the third time. To be honest, they were a little speechless towards Zhishen.
In the end, it was Expo Road that presided over the house arrest of Cheng Xiao, and then Ran You was responsible for handling other matters.
Cheng Xiao didn't put up any resistance. He seemed to be crying in confusion. He didn't know whether he was crying for his grandfather's death or for his own fate.
After six days.
Zhiyao, who had taken over "Handan", was planning something. When she heard the report from her husband who came to "Handan", she didn't know whether it was a secret induction or a related psychological preparation. In short, she felt a sudden change in her heart.
Waiting for Zhiyao to see her husband, she didn't need to use any words to report. Just seeing her husband's embarrassment and the expression on his face directly made Zhiyao's eyes flash with stars, and then the whole world fell into darkness.
