The Zhao family violated etiquette not once or twice, but compared with Zhao Yang who killed Zhao Wu who came to the door to hold the ceremony, killed Zhao Bolu, the eldest son, and Zhao Wuxie who chose to be born as a concubine, it is obvious that what happened next was more important.
Some.
Because Zhiyao's changes to history destroyed Zhao Yang's declaration in the "Iron War", Zhao Yang still robbed him of breaking the rule of direct inheritance.
With Zhao's example this time, it will not only cause turmoil for the Jin State, but also have a great impact on other countries.
From then on, I don’t know how many concubines of the family became interested in snooping on the heir apparent. We can’t blame the direct descendants of the family for being wary of concubines. Brothers fighting against each other may become very frequent.
As for Zhi Yao dethroning Zhi Xiao and becoming the crown prince of the Zhi family? Although there are not many similar examples, the problem is that they are not too few. The most famous one is that Han Qi deposed Han Wuji and became the crown prince of the Han family.
They are both direct descendants, so the influence is definitely there, but the impact is definitely not as great as that of a concubine compared to a direct descendant.
Zhao Yang faced all the "Qings" and only Hu Jie came in person. It was impossible that he didn't have thoughts in his heart, but he just didn't express his inner thoughts.
At the same time, many people came to witness Zhao Wuxie becoming the heir to the Zhao family, but one after another kept an expressionless face. People who didn't know better thought they were attending a funeral.
Then again, it seems that it is wrong to say that they came to witness Zhao Guanji's ascension with the mood of attending a funeral? What they witnessed was the collapse of an inheritance system!
"The Han family is close to the Zhao family. When did you learn about this?" Wei Ju asked Han Geng with a curious expression.
Han Geng didn't want to answer at all, and even felt that Wei Ju was mocking Han.
After all, Han Jue of the Han family gave various families a start, and using Han Qi to replace Han Wuji reminded each family that heirs can be replaced if they are not to their liking.
Zhiyao knew when Zhao Yang had the idea of replacing the heir apparent. It should have been the day Zhao Bolu showed that he was unable to bear the heavy responsibility, right?
It cannot be said that Zhao Yang did not give Zhao Bolu a chance, and gave him more than one or two chances. What he got from Zhao Bolu every time was disappointment.
"I heard Wuxie swear that the Zhao family after him will be the descendants of Bolu." Han Geng said this in a mosquito voice.
Clam!?
Zhiyao, who didn't know what was going on, had several names in his mind: Li Shimin, Li Tai, and Li Zhi.
Also faced with the problem of choosing an heir, Li Shimin was very hesitant about making Li Tai the crown prince, so he called Li Tai to have a conversation, and then Li Tai tricked him by saying "Kill your son to pass on your younger brother."
But, did the Zhao family specifically inform the Han family about Zhao Wuxie's oath? If it was the Zhao family who took the initiative to inform the Han family, the relationship between the two families was much stronger than imagined. Han Buxin's series of actions almost deceived the entire family.
, Han Geng not only cheated his father but also sold out the Han family.
Zhiyao and Wei Ju looked at each other and saw the shock and joy in each other's eyes.
Han Geng's face froze, perhaps because he knew he had made a mistake, but there was no fear in his eyes, but a sense of success.
"Zhao Wushe gave the position of head of the family back to Zhao Bolu's heir? Is this happening in history???" Zhiyao was reluctant to believe it, but she had to admit that it was a very likely thing to happen in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
Zhao Yang, who was standing in the main seat, was speaking. It was probably because of the family's misfortune that they were unable to ensure the orderly inheritance of the family, something that sounded like a family scandal.
Zhiyao admired Zhao Yang's opening remarks.
The original thing is that whether it is Zhao Yang's anxious mentality or the situation of the Jin Dynasty, mediocre people are not suitable to inherit the foundation.
Zhao Yang told those things directly, which was a generous approach, especially to give various families a chance to learn from it.
Therefore, many of the family heads who came to watch the ceremony began to show thoughtful expressions. They must be thinking: "That good-for-nothing in my family is not suitable to inherit the family business. If the family is handed over to him, it will most likely destroy the family. How about that?"
How about following Zhao Yang’s approach?”
Half of Zhiyao's attention was on the middle nobles. Seeing their faces, he knew that Zhao Yang had achieved some of his goals.
As far as the current situation is concerned, don't think that only Zhao Yang's direct heirs are either useless or naughty. Many nobles' direct heirs are in the same situation.
Of course, when you are still young, a waste may not really be a waste, and a playboy may become a pillar one day. A mediocre person may become a blockbuster one day, but most people simply cannot wait for the day when they break out.
In general, most of the second generation of the Jin Kingdom are either useless or too mediocre. Zhao Yang did such a big thing today because he said some words that made the family scandal public, and it evolved into arousing the anger of many participants.
Psychological resonance.
Zhiyao's eyes turned to Zhao Yang again, thinking: "It's true that people who can achieve great things are not simple."
After feeling that he had achieved his goal, Zhao Yang glanced at Gubu Ziqing, who was standing on the back porch.
Gubu Ziqing walked into the back door and disappeared for a while, then reappeared following Zhao Wushe.
Today, Zhao Guanqi put on clothes that he could not wear before. A set of clothes made of silk and satin. The main color is black, with red patterns embroidered on it. It is paired with a golden silk scarf and a pair of Dengyun boots.
, which made Zhao Wuxie change his previous shabby image and look full of nobility.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Zhao Guanjie, who showed nobility, once again proved this point.
Zhao Wuxie's appearance can make people feel nervous to some extent.
Because of Zhao Yang's words, the atmosphere changed. The middle-class nobles no longer looked at Zhao Wuxie with absolute rejection, but looked at Zhao Wuxie with a critical eye.
Zhao Guanjie, who had received so many scrutinizing glances, seemed to be a little more nervous, and his body was quickly blocked by Zhao Yang.
There are related etiquette and different levels for establishing a heir apparent.
If it is the Zhou royal family, their title is the Crown Prince. A long time ago, only the princes were eligible to appoint the Crown Prince. Later, the Jin Dynasty's high-ranking families could also register the Crown Prince, and gradually it evolved to the point where every heir of a noble family could be called the Crown Prince.
That is in line with the evolution of history. Many noble titles gradually become common, which means that the old authority is being lost and new authority is being established.
Today, what Zhao Yang is doing is destroying the old authority. No matter who discovers it or not, the impact will be far greater than imagined.
After completing the registration process, Zhao naturally needed to host a banquet to entertain the guests.
Since only Hu Jie is among the "Qings"? The established seating arrangement must be adjusted. Hu Jie's actions are arranged opposite Zhao Yang. It means that because Hu Jie gave face today, Zhao is repaying Li Toutao.
matter.
In other words, Zhao Yang recognized the fact that the Hu family had become one of the noble families. Today, the middle-class nobles who came to witness the crown prince's appointment also witnessed the Zhao family's return of goodwill to the Hu family.
The actions of Zhiyao, Wei Ju, Han Geng and Zhao Wuxie were arranged in the same row. This arrangement was of course intended to confirm Zhao Wuxie's status as the crown prince.
The tableware and food required for a banquet were all there, as well as some new dishes created by Zhao Bolu, but the banquet still didn't look so lively.
Of course, lack of enthusiasm is a matter of mentality.
Zhao didn't have his own band, so he definitely didn't have the Sound of Music. Furthermore, Zhao didn't have any actors or dancers, so he lost a lot of shows.
In fact, whether any family has a band depends on whether the Emperor Zhou has given it to them. Some princes who own bands can also split their own bands and give them away, but under normal circumstances, princes who own bands will never do that.
Ritual and music needed to be separated during the Spring and Autumn Period. Music was part of the rites and represented a certain kind of privilege, which made owning a band something worth showing off.
Wei Ju ignored Zhao Wuxie, and Zhiyao and Han Geng actually had no interaction with Zhao Wuxie.
Other middle-class nobles need to be very shameless to interact with Zhao Wuxie. Whenever they want to save face and want to lick the Zhao family, they should not start from Zhao Wuxie.
So, today is obviously a very prosperous day for Zhao Wuxie, but no one is paying attention to him, which makes Zhao Wuxie look very lonely.
"When we go south next year, will the Chu army fight?" Hu Jie was just looking for something to say, otherwise it would be really embarrassing to just stare.
Zhao Yang glanced at Zhao Wushe, then moved his eyes to Hu Jie, and said with a smile: "The leader of the Zhi family is ill, and everything has not been settled yet."
By the way, Zhishen is ill. Without the approval of the head of the Zhi family, many things may not count for anything discussed by the Zhao family, the Wei family, the Han family and the Hu family.
Hu Jie held a banquet and invited him to drink, thinking quite relaxedly: "It's just the right time for Zhishen to be ill."
Right? Jishen's illness prevented many major national affairs from being discussed, and it also gave the Fox family more time to adjust their family structure.
Last year, Han Buxin led the army south as the "general". The main reason why the battle could not be fought was because Hu Jie did not intend to fight hard.
Hu Xie went to fight the Chu army at this stage because of his troubles. The answer he gave to Han Buxin's inquiry was: I am free, you make the decision.
Han Buxin, who lacked confidence, did not dare to fight the Chu army. Looking at Hu Jie's behavior, why did he fight?
Now, Hu Jie just wants to draw nutrients from the public clan. He doesn't necessarily need to obtain military resources, but chariots, weapons, armors, whatever materials he can get, and it will take a while to complete the reshaping of the family.
What does it mean? In fact, it means that the Hu family needs to de-Huhua, let their family undergo internal feudalism again, reappear the "scholar" and "disciple" classes, and then restore the Xiahua.
"Yao." After Zhao Yang finished greeting Hu Xie, he suddenly called Zhi Yao.
Zhiyao, who was having a low conversation with Wei Ju, turned her head when she heard the call, and at the same time, the conversation in the banquet hall also stopped.
Zhao Yang made a gesture of coming forward, and waited for Zhiyao to come over before saying, "Bolu came to visit you?"
Zhiyao answered truthfully: "We were saying goodbye to each other. To avoid causing more trouble, Zhiyao did not leave the city to see us off."
Zhao Yang looked like he was listening attentively. After Zhiyao finished speaking, he said, "After the banquet, do you want to go see Fen?"
"What are you doing? What are you implying to me by mentioning the love between children on this occasion?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
Look, not only Hu Jie showed a strange expression when he heard it, but also people who were close to him also showed thoughtful expressions.
