Chapter 128: How will the new emperor be determined?
To be honest, Zhiyao didn't look down on Fu Guo's uncle, but she really doubted whether Fu Guo was mentally ill.
Is it so easy to be an undercover agent? Of the ten people who went to be undercover agents, eight of them failed and were killed, one was turned into a double agent, and the remaining one turned himself into a psychopath.
"What's going on? Is he afraid of being liquidated, and then he does this?" Zhi Yao was wondering why Fu Guo did what he did, but still felt that things were developing in a funny direction.
Zhishen, however, was completely stunned by Fu Guo and said, "Since Zhao Yang covets my family, it's okay for you to do so."
Zhi Yao, who wanted to say something, stopped Fu Guo a step.
Fu Guo said: "Success or failure, failure will make the world despise the Zhao family."
This whole situation made Zhi Yao not know what to say.
Fu Guo is always prepared to choose death to throw dirt on the Zhao family if things go wrong, and he has already done so today. The only choice he can make is to let time pass and make everything dull, or Fu Guo really goes.
Play against loyalty.
"Perhaps there will be unexpected gains if you let Fu Guo play like this?" Zhiyao never thought that Zhishi would be without opponents, and it would be okay to play a few more chess pieces.
Is it just right? Zhi Yao doesn’t think she can easily manipulate Zhao Yang into applause, and she doesn’t see that Fu Guo has that kind of IQ. As for Zhishen, she should keep it a secret for the sake of family members.
Zhiyao, who was a little impressed by Fu Guo's show, said: "Uncle, it is as usual. If the Central Military Assistant asks, I will tell you."
Fu Guo only knows that he has passed the test and will not be resented by Zhi Yao for supporting Cheng Xiao in the past. At the same time, the mistakes he made before have been exposed.
When Lao Zhi's family is mourning, the core clan members will definitely not keep talking in secret.
Both Zhishen and Zhiyao need to stay by Zhisong's coffin. In a popular sense, it is a wake-up call. They are also responsible for saluting and thanking those who come to pay their respects.
One thing is that Zhishuang will definitely not be buried on the "Xintian" side. At the same time, the mourning hall on the "Xintian" side is only of a temporary nature.
The Zhi family will carry the coffin containing the Zhizong back to the place of "Zhi" and set up a formal mourning hall there.
This is that currently every family has its own family cemetery. Unless they are expelled from the family, otherwise the clan members will be buried in the family cemetery when they die. The difference is where the tomb will be because of the difference in status.
In addition, retainers who have made contributions to the family are also eligible to be buried in the family cemetery. Generally, they will be buried next to the master they serve.
Zhao Yang, Han Buxin, and Wei Chi successively came to Lao Zhi's house to pay their respects. They didn't stay much and left as soon as they had finished expressing their condolences.
Zhao Yang's move of bringing Fen Ying over was rather special. I don't know that Zhao Yang had some powerful people before, and they had their own opinions on Zhao Yang bringing Fen Ying over.
For example, Han Buxin and Wei Chi, their guess is that the Zhao family will not do anything to the Zhi family, and may even strengthen cooperation.
The other small and medium-sized families who also received the signal were extremely grateful for Zhao's statement and believed that their stable life was guaranteed.
"If you ask about despicable people, there is no one who can come close to the Zhao family." Zhishen was very angry.
In the dead of night, there were no guests at home, and Zhishuo's descendants kept vigil all night long.
The custom of stopping spirits has been around for a long time. Whether it is in the late Spring and Autumn Period or long into the future, as long as the inheritance of Zhu Xia's civilization is not cut off, I believe the custom will continue.
As for the wake? It’s hard to say when it happened, but it definitely happened in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
It takes three days to rest in "Xintian", that is to say, Zhishi will leave for "Zhi" after three days.
Zhishen was angry that Zhao Yang was plotting against Zhishi secretly, but he was showing off all kinds of friendly behavior in front of others.
Zhiyao was not arranging for her father, she thought to herself: "So it is good for Zhishi that Fu Guo did such a show. At least my father will not be deceived by Zhao Yang's hypocrisy."
Didn't get angry on the spot or Jishen's character is weak. If you were a person with a stronger personality, but your father had just died and you heard that someone was plotting against your family, do you believe that when you see someone, you would directly fuck them?
Fuguo, who is also at the wake, has been in a trance recently. People who don't know may think that he is mourning the death of his old father. Maybe there is also a sadness factor, but more importantly, he is racking his brains to think of how to play the role.
good.
Now Zhishi is in a state of "ownerless".
The Zhi family has welcomed the next head of the family. There is no need to wait for Zhi Shuang's funeral to end, but she needs to return to the "Zhi" place to complete some procedures.
The so-called procedure is that Zhizong summons the core members of the family and performs the "coronation" in front of them.
Three days passed quickly to the rest of the people, but seemed a bit long to the core members of the Zhi clan.
There are many reasons why it feels so long, lack of sleep is one of them, and then there is the sadness of losing a loved one, and there are quite a lot of etiquette that need to be followed.
On the day when it was time to set off, the army brought by Zhiyao lined up and waited in "Xintian" early. Their appearance made many people look askance.
The reason for looking at them sideways is not that the military uniforms of Zhi's new army are different, nor that they show an elite side. It is simply that Zhishuo died in the position of minister in Jin State. Although the "ranking" position in Jin State is higher than that of princes, but
It would be too much to create an army to protect the spirits.
It is natural for the Jin people to produce elites from the Jin State. They look like elites, but until they are actually taken out to fight and prove themselves with the blood of the enemy, the appearance is not worth a moment's surprise.
Are there any differences in military uniforms? The Jin State is a country that is very accustomed to innovation. Otherwise, it would not be the Jin State's turn to be the hegemon, and it would maintain its hegemony intermittently for more than a hundred years.
When Zhi Shi moved Zhi Sui's coffin, no family members came to see her off, and only onlookers watched as a personal act.
Each family will later go to "Zhi" to attend Zhi Shuang's funeral.
Before moving Zhisheng's coffin, Zhishen had already gone to the palace to meet the monarch. The procedure followed here was to set the funeral specifications, and then the monarch should discuss with the other serving "qing" what posthumous title should be given to Zhisheng.
As for the posthumous title, Zhishi fought for it more, while Zhishen proposed "Wen".
Unless the king hates someone very much, he will not refuse in such a matter. Once he refuses, he will be showing off his prestige as the king of the country, but he will definitely be resented.
Zhao Yang is not a scholar, so he will not embarrass the Zhi family on the dead.
Wei Chi and Han Buxin did not have any deep grudges against Zhishen. In particular, they felt that Zhishen, who was the master of the family, could have other expectations, let alone reject the posthumous title proposed by Zhishen.
Therefore, the final conclusion of the posthumous title for Zhi Sui is the beautiful posthumous title "Wen".
The Zhi family left "Xintian", and a new battle in the Jin Kingdom began.
The Fox family has been recalled by Jin Junwu.
Jin Junwu had received the support of Zhishuang before. Not only would he retain the six ministerial positions, but the Hu family would also obtain the ministerial position.
Now? Should the Jin Kingdom retain the six ministerial positions, and whether the Hu family can obtain the ministerial position? Anyway, it has not become a final decision, and then Zhisong died.
The sudden death of Jin Jun Wushi Zhishuo caused him to lose a lot of strength. He doubted that Zhao Yang, who once showed support for his desire to restore the strength of the clan, would break the disguise after taking care of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family.
This Hu family has been away from Jin for a very long time, more than a hundred years anyway.
They had an irresolvable conflict with the Zhao family. At that time, Zhao Dun was still quite arrogant and domineering. Feeling that she could not defeat Zhao Dun, Hu Shegu chose to take the Hu family and leave the Jin Kingdom.
Later, the Hu family went to the northwest of the Jin State. They quickly got together with the Di people, and they still maintained a distant relationship with the Jin State.
Later, during the periods of Duke Li and Duke Ao of Jin, the Jin State repeatedly expanded to the northwest, playing with the Qin State on one side, and plotting against the Red Di on the other. Finally, during the period of Duke Ao of Jin, the Jin State finally killed the local Red Di.
At that time, the Hu family had almost completely transformed into barbarians, but they still remembered that their ancestors had lived in the Jin State and once tried to return to the Jin State. The problem was that the person in power at that time was Zhao Wu.
The Hu family considered that they would be forced to leave the Jin State by the Zhao family, and after much thought, they decided not to return to the Jin State and let the Zhao family manipulate them, but to move to be neighbors with Bai Di (Bai Zhai) and Lin Hu.
Jin Junwu's greeting to the Hu clan was completely helpless. He himself was not so sure whether the Hu clan was still a member of Zhu Xia, and he was not very clear about his strength. It was just a bad idea that he had no other choice.
"Zhi Qing has gone, what can I do?" Jin Junwu took advantage of the fact that Zhishen of the Zhi family had not yet become "Qing", and thought of testing Zhao Yang one more time.
There are currently only three "ministers" in office in the Jin State, which not only messes up the organization of the three old legions, but also makes it impossible to handle many government affairs.
No kidding!
Any "Qing" has multiple positions. For example, the general of the central army is the commander-in-chief of the entire army or in power; in the four-legion organization, the new general must also serve as the commander of the army, and in the three-legion organization, the subordinate general will be the commander.
He also holds the position of Sikou.
The other ministerial positions such as Zhongjun Zuo, Shanjun Zuo, Shanjun Zuo, etc. also hold multiple positions.
The demise of the Fan clan in the Jin Kingdom left a vacancy for Shishi (chief judge). The demise of the Zhonghang clan also left a vacancy for Situ. This is equivalent to saying that the Jin Kingdom has been completely walking on a single wheel in recent years. It is not because some inertia is still there.
Play its role, this will definitely end if it lasts for a long time!
Zhao Yang looked straight at Jin Junwu but said nothing.
Although they didn't know that Zhishuo had died long ago, the official mourning only lasted three days.
Jin Junwu has never said anything about who will serve as "Yuanrong". If he wants to trade the position that "originally" belongs to Zhao Yang, what will Zhao Yang think?
Han Buxin said softly: "Your Majesty, your position should be decided early."
Younger brother, isn't it right to rush into battle for your elder brother when needed?
Wei Chi, who was sitting there with half-squinted eyes, said "haha" in his heart.
The Zhao family has been very busy these days. A large number of princes and middle-level nobles came to visit. Isn't it Zhao Yang's turn to dominate according to seniority ranking?
However, when Wei Chi saw Zhao Yang and Han Buxin performing, how could he not laugh in his heart that Zhao Yang was too impatient.
"Many positions are vacant, and state affairs are difficult to decide!" Jin Junwu will not give in easily. If he waits for Zhi to fill one of the ministerial positions, it will be too late by then!
