As a "Yuan Rong", Zhisong is destined to have more contact with the monarch. Several times, he has spied on the monarch being very disgusted with Shijishe, and even Zhongxingyin, who is very close to Shijishe, is also disgusted.
Although the Jin State said that the king had lost power, it was not enough to say that he could not leave the palace. A considerable number of nobles were still willing to obey what he said.
"This is the reason why your superior dislikes your subordinates." Zhishuo said.
If that were not the case, no matter how arrogant and domineering Zhao Yang was, he would not openly start a war with the Fan family.
The reason why Jin Junwu disliked Shijishe was that Shijishe was too greedy, and then there were so many people who repeatedly talked nonsense.
Zhisong said: "Yao has made such a decision at such a young age, which is really a blessing for my family."
In the old Zhi family, not only Zhizhuo likes Zhiyao, but also many elders like Zhiyao. Naturally, too many elders like Zhiyao, so the elders who have always chosen Zhixiao's side do not like Zhiyao.
.
As a father, Zhishen has always been caught in the middle. He often doesn't know what to do. Seeing Zhishen speaking so openly, he smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao and Yao are both my sons and legitimate children; however,
Xiao is the eldest son..."
Zhisong asked: "What would happen if the Han family did not have Han Wuji and the wise Han Xuanzi (Han Qi)?"
Can that be the same?
Han Wuji is Han Qi's elder brother. The problem is that he was injured when he was a child, causing his right arm to be fractured and deformed.
Having a disability means that you cannot fight in battle. At that time, the Han family had just changed from a public clan to a Qing clan. Then the struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu was in full swing. The heirs had to fight again and again. Therefore, Han Wuji was not suitable to die in Hanjue.
Later, he inherited the position of the head of the Han family.
Zhishen is the beneficiary of the primogeniture system, so no matter how much he likes Zhiyao, he will still have some scruples.
For example, Zhishen was worried that choosing Zhiyao as his heir would most likely cause problems on Zhixiao's side, and some conservative tribesmen and retainers would disobey, causing civil strife in the family.
"Xiao has no serious crime." Zhishen said.
"You are mentally ill!" Zhizhuo, as a father, could scold him unscrupulously. He asked, "Can I take care of the family business with my ability at night?"
Jishen has nothing to say.
There is a proverb in Zhu Xia: Three years old is considered old, seven years old is considered old.
Zhixiao was like most children when she was a child. She showed no special characteristics after enlightenment, but as she got older, she tended to become a playboy.
The main reason why Zhiyao gained Zhishuo's favor was that Zhishuo had seen Zhiyao's intelligence since he was a child. He still did not grow crooked until he was nine years old, and he could increase the productivity of the family and express correct opinions in politics.
.
When a large family chooses an heir, and the external environment can ensure the safety of the family, it naturally follows the eldest son inheritance system; under special circumstances, the most correct choice is to select the best and eliminate the worst.
"You are like me. You can't help me with the housekeeping. You can only maintain the success." Zhishen became angry when he saw Zhishen showing a wry smile again. He frowned and continued: "My family has been in decline for more than sixty years. You can no longer maintain the success. You need to
There is a leader who can rise up. If not, what happened in Lu will happen again in my family."
What happened in the State of Lu? The fact that a retainer was sitting on the head of the family made it known to all the countries in the Central Plains. Everyone in the Central Plains didn't know how to laugh at it, so they were really alert.
Zhisong looked at Zhishen who was thoughtful, and continued: "If Handan Zhao is destroyed, the Zhao family will become more powerful, and I, as the chief minister, must avoid their sharp edges. Zhao Meng's rule will be changeable! Don't forget the Xian family.
, the death of the Xu family, the Hu family, the Que family, and the Luan family!"
The internal fighting in the Jin Kingdom has always been bloody, especially in this era of "princes, generals and prime ministers having their own kind", it is even more cruel.
Zhizong thought about it, the monarch will soon order an attack on Handan Zhao, which means that the Zhao family, Han family and Wei family will soon have a showdown with the Fan family and the Zhonghang family. There are monarchs on the side of the Zhao family's camp, which means there are quite a lot of people.
A large number of small and medium-sized nobles and noble families were also assigned to the Zhao family's camp.
Therefore, not to mention that the Fan family and the Zhonghang family are not as powerful as they seem. Even if the Fan family and the Zhonghang family are really powerful, the two families cannot withstand the siege of 60% of the nobles headed by the Zhao family, the Han family, and the Wei family.
"Your Majesty, it's true..." Zhishen is an insider, but he still feels unbelievable.
Zhishen's appearance made Zhishen even more convinced of the necessity of choosing Zhiyao as his successor.
The situation is always like that, almost unchangeable, something is bound to happen, and as a result, Zhishen still looks like this.
If it's not that Zhizong has no choice, that is, there are no other direct heirs, or else they want to find a successor.
"I just hope Shen doesn't live a long life, otherwise the family may be in danger..." As a father, Zhizong doesn't want to think this way, but as the head of the Zhi family, he really hopes that such a thing will happen.
In the Lao Zhi family, there have been several generations of family heads (heirs) who died of illness in middle age. Zhishuang's life of sixty-two years old and Zhishen's life of forty-two years old are both considered longevity.
"Sir..." Zhishen's words were interrupted by the voice outside.
Jishe, the informant from outside, and Zhongxingyin came together to ask for an audience.
These days, without sending clan members or retainers to inform in advance, who would rush to someone else's house? Not to mention that he is the head of two big families.
Zhizong really didn't want to see Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin. He felt that it would be bad if he did, but he couldn't help but see them.
"You go ahead and bring him in." Zhishen told Zhishen.
Nowadays, when distinguished guests come to your door, you must show enough etiquette. Zhishuo is the head of the Zhi family and is also the "Yuanrong" of the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, because of her age, it is appropriate not to greet them in person.
, Zhishen couldn’t be rude, so it was appropriate for Zhishen to greet her.
There were more than one example in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as a certain nobleman's lack of etiquette in entertaining visiting noblemen, and then the nobleman who felt insulted turned against him on the spot, and later even summoned the family's private army to start a war; there were even monarchs who did not respect their own military (
The relationship between the charioteer and the charioteer caused the imperial army to surrender in front of the enemy general.
Zhishen went out to greet him. Before he could say some polite words, Zhongxingyin, who looked anxious, spoke up first.
"The etiquette can be abolished! Where is the Prime Minister? Please introduce me quickly!" Zhong Xingyin was really not polite at all.
Zhishen had just noticed that Zhong Xingyin and Shi Jishe looked very bad, and he saw that the number of guards they brought with them was unusually large, and he also saw a vehicle carrying luggage.
Zhiyao, who had something to go out, came here and was almost hit by Shijishe who was walking in a hurry. He saw a group of people including Shijishe and Zhong Xingyin entering the queue very quickly, followed by Zhishen with a solemn face.
"Yao, don't leave home!" Zhishen said with an unprecedented serious expression.
Carry-on salutes generally only occur when leaving a place.
In view of the increasingly obvious relationship between the situation, Shijishe and Zhongxingyin will definitely not stay in "Xintian" to wait for death, and will definitely return to their respective fiefdoms to gather troops!
But, what were they doing at Lao Zhi's house before returning to their fiefdom?
