Judging from the size of the family, the Chi family is undoubtedly a big family. However, from the time when Chi Ying passed away to when Chi Su took over, the family was out of control for about forty years.
To put it bluntly, several generations of the family heads of the Zhi family were short-lived, which made it difficult to implement any plans, and the control over retainers and some vassal nobles was unbalanced.
If Zhizong hadn't spent nearly twenty years stabilizing the internal affairs, what happened to Sanhuan of Lu State might have happened to Zhishi.
"From today onwards, my house will be closed." Zhishuo said.
Zhishen asked: "Your Majesty has ordered the attack on Handan Zhao?"
In fact, the monarch only expressed his position to Zhizong and Zhao Yang a few times, and the order has not been issued yet.
According to the monarch's wishes, he wanted to directly label Handan Zhao as a rebel and summon the nobles of the country to besiege Handan Zhao in the form of counter-rebellion.
So, why did the monarch want to destroy Handan Zhao? The situation inside is a bit complicated.
Zhisong asked Zhiyao, "Do you know why your Majesty is like this?"
Zhiyao has been making up for the history of Jin recently, otherwise he would probably answer the question incorrectly. He thought for a while and said: "Imitate the Luan family's story?"
"Of course!" The loss and dejection on Zhizong's face retreated, replaced by an expression of relief.
Zhiyao said: "Luan's attack on Sanque was the plan of Duke Li. Luan Wuzi couldn't bear the disturbance of Ju Bo (Que Qi), so he just followed the trend..."
The Que family was very kind to the Luan family. However, after Luan Shu became the "Yuanrong" of the Jin Kingdom, Qu Qi and Quezhi relied on the Que family's kindness to the Luan family and just disrespected the Luan family. Several times, they even let the Luan family Can't get off the stage.
It happened that several of the lovers of Duke Li of Jin had a grudge against the Que family. The situation in Jin at that time did not allow the Que family to continue to grow, so a conspiracy was hatched.
The Que family became the second family to be besieged after the Zhao family. The difference was that the Zhao family quickly resurrected, but the Que family members were all killed. There was no bloodline that could revive the Que family. .
Speaking of the Jin clan of the Que family, due to the custom of not marrying with the same surname, there is no Zhao Zhuangji in his family, let alone a Zhao Wu.
"The subordinates of the army have rebelled against the monarch many times, and the Zhonghang family and the Zhao family are often dirty. The monarch knows the Fan family well, and the Zhonghang family will help Handan Zhao, trying to weaken the Fan family, and the Zhonghang family is also." Zhiyao told the monarch and Zhao Yang's conspiracy , I explained it clearly in just a few words.
Jisong looked at Zhishen who looked ashamed and said, "What do you think?"
What could Zhishen say? Even if he knew the ins and outs, he was still confused about many things, but it was impossible for Zhiyao, who had good information channels, to get everything right by just relying on some guesses.
What does it mean? It just means that Zhi Yao’s views on form are completely correct, especially because she has an exquisite heart that is sensitive to the current situation!
Zhishen said: "I know you!"
The head of the family and the heir seemed to have finished talking in a riddle, and as expected, Zhixiao's fate was decided.
This is Zhiyao's accumulated success over time, not a victory that comes overnight!
Zhiyao, who was at the scene, realized something, but she couldn't be completely sure. What happened next was when Zhixiao was sent to the "auxiliary" place, and she could truly appreciate it.
The eldest son of the family is usually taken by his father to teach him, or to observe his talent and character closely.
Zhiyao heard that Zhixiao was not going to the "auxiliary" place as a guest, but would stay in the "auxiliary" place forever after that. It would be strange if she didn't understand what happened.
At present, the "Fu" land is the fiefdom of the Fu clan, and the Fu clan is considered a small sect of the Zhi clan. According to current customs, they are two families.
However, under normal circumstances, the small sect will still obey the orders from the main sect, forming a relationship of separate families but still connected with each other. It is hard to say how long this relationship can last. It depends on the situation of the main sect.
Because Zhishen was not yet the head of the family, it was still early to confirm his successor. However, Zhiyao later received more power, including the right to mobilize the family's private army. Everyone who should understand this will understand.
If people who don't understand or understand still choose to side with Zhixiao, when Zhishen becomes the head of the family, they should be marginalized in order to avoid civil strife in the family in the future.
When Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin left "Xintian" with their people, not only all the clan members were gone, but no one with any weapons or servants was left.
Everyone who heard the news immediately felt their hearts twitching. The timid nobles immediately packed up their belongings and returned to their fiefs, while the nobles who did not leave were always waiting for the king's orders.
When the season came to autumn, the monarch began his own actions. He frequently summoned the "Qing", and several times left Zhizong and Zhao Yang to have a duel. The matter they discussed was not to restore hegemony, but to discuss how to deal with the outbreak of civil war.
Zhizong is worried about the upcoming civil war, and of course he doesn't want it to happen.
However, Zhao Yang has already completed his deployment, especially with the support of the monarch. How could he let his efforts go to waste?
So, the rumors about Zhao Yang's treason in Handan are getting longer and longer. Those who know what is going on secretly think "Zhao Yang is good at playing", while those who do not understand the actual situation are shocked.
After the rumor spread to "Handan", Zhao Wu didn't know what he thought. He hurried to "Xintian" to ask for an audience with the king. When he was rejected, he ran to ask for an audience with Zhao Yang.
"Doctor Handan is going to the Zhao Mansion?" Zhiyao learned the news from Zhishuo. He was surprised at first, and then said prophetically: "Life will come in and death will come out!"
At this stage, Zhishen is not at home in "Xintian". He is traveling around various fiefdoms as the heir, and his job is to assemble the family's private army.
Zhizong discovered that Zhiyao was extremely smart and that Zhiyao was also very insightful in judging some current situations, so he gradually allowed Zhiyao to participate in family decision-making.
Is it exaggerated to participate in family decision-making at the age of nine? If it were an ordinary child, such a thing would naturally not happen.
There is a precedent for the old Zhi family to participate in family decision-making when they were less than ten years old. Zhishuo, known as the second most talented person in the Jin Dynasty, began to participate in the management of the family at the age of seven.
Because of the precedent of Zhishuo, it was not so sudden for the nine-year-old Zhiyao to obtain management rights. What the Zhi clan and retainers need to worry about is whether Zhiyao will die young like Zhishuo.
Zhizong didn't know where Zhiyao came from that judgment. He could only find it unbelievable and said: "Zhongjun Zuo is crazy?"
Logically speaking, Zhao Yang is not that crazy, right?
However, subsequent news came that Zhao Yang had killed Zhao Wu in the mansion!
Zhao Yang made the punishment cauldron, right?
There is no real evidence that Handan Zhao's treason is a conspiracy, right?
Zhao Yang, who built the torture cauldron, said that the law should be respected and that people should not be killed without trial, but what he did was to kill Zhao Wu without any real evidence.
