It seems a bit unethical to stage such a scene during Zhao Yang's funeral, but from another perspective, it is actually doing Zhao a favor.
Things always need to be contrasted in order to distinguish between good and bad.
It's better to negotiate with words than to grab it directly with weapons, isn't it?
Is the Zhao family defeated? In addition, when facing the declining Fan family, they chose to kill them all. Although the Fan family was miserable, how could the Zhao family maintain their dignity?
Of course, Mrs. Fan has nothing to be pitied for, and Mrs. Zhao also did it herself today.
For them to end up like this, do they have to blame the target for not dying honestly? No way!
There is a saying that "people who kill people will always kill them." People whose hands are stained with blood, no matter what the reason for staining them with blood, must be mentally prepared to die in the hands of others one day.
The struggle for interests has always been bloody. If you don't have the strength to give up something in your hands, it cannot be said to be a kind of weakness. It should be said to be self-aware.
Those who know current affairs are not derogatory when used in some places, on the contrary, it is a compliment!
After about a quarter of an hour, the people talking left the room.
Zhiyao saw several people, including his father, whose expressions were not very good, and understood that the conversation had broken down.
"Is that so?" Han Geng was a little dumbfounded.
Everyone is giving Zhao a chance!
Could it be that the Zhao family is unwilling to accept it and insists that everyone use force?
Or is it that Zhao Huo and Zhao Wuji, who are currently able to make decisions in the Zhao family, feel that the various families are too greedy, and they feel that the Zhao family still has the strength to struggle?
No matter what happens, Zhao Yang's funeral is being held now, and it is impossible to fall out on the spot. Whether we will continue to talk later depends on how Han Buxin mediates it.
Zhiyao stopped Han Geng who was about to leave and said, "Tell me the truth. If Zhao doesn't agree, what will happen to Han?"
Han Geng saw Wei Ju and Hu You staring at him, hesitating again and again, and finally said: "What will Ru Zhi do?"
What's the meaning?
During the last civil strife in Jin, the Zhi family chose limited neutrality, sitting back and watching the Zhao, Wei and Han alliances fight against the Fan and Zhonghang families. Later, the Zhi family and the Wei family allied to suppress the Zhao and Han families.
Hu You looked a little confused and said, "How can the Han family be like the Zhi family?"
This guy said very bluntly that the Han family did not have the hard power of the Zhi family.
Han Geng was speechless and said as if he had a bad temper: "Han and Zhao have been friends for generations, what can we do?"
That's right.
Following the general trend, Han joined the team to cut Zhao's flesh. If Zhao was not willing to lie down, considering that Han and Zhao had been friendly for so long, Han did not want to be beaten with Zhao, and Han did not want to be beaten with Zhao.
, you can only choose neutral.
Hu You thinks the funny part is that Han has no ability to protect himself, so he chooses to be neutral.
The Han family did not want to bear the reputation of bullying their allies, so they planned to be neutral at the beginning and collect the corpses for the Zhao family later.
Here, the Han family did not consider whether other families were willing to allow them to be neutral...or did they think of a way to make everyone accept it?
Shu Zhiyao has a limited IQ and cannot imagine how the Han family will let other families recognize their neutral status if they start a war with the Zhao family one day.
The funeral continued, but the atmosphere was a bit strange due to other reasons.
Every family has its own cemetery, and if conditions allow, they will build an underground palace.
To put it bluntly, it means digging out the ground and setting up some tombs, funerary chambers and the like.
A cemetery not only buries one person, but also buries generations of ancestors together in the underground palace, with their own individual tombs and burial chambers.
A sharp wailing sound appeared suddenly.
Zhiyao turned around and saw a group of women being escorted by soldiers. They were crying like tears, but their struggles were so weak.
What is going on?
What could be the situation? They were included in the burial list and had to go underground to continue serving Zhao Yang.
Other families in the Jin Kingdom have long ago not had this kind of thing, not only the Qing family, but also the small and medium-sized families can't afford it. The Zhao family is the only one who still retains this practice of burying people alive.
Is your surname Ying? It’s very particular about getting people to be buried with you.
The Zhao family has the surname Ying, and the official family of the Qin State also has the surname Ying. It is really unclear whether the surname Ying of the Qin State is the Zhao family or the Qin family.
According to the custom of the Spring and Autumn Period, the surname of the Qin State's Ying State should be Qin's surname based on the fiefdom or official position? However, it is recorded in the history books that the official surname of the Qin State was the Zhao surname of Ying.
Everyone watched quietly, no one stood up to do anything.
I heard, just heard, that the women Zhao used for burials were usually those who were slept with and did not give birth to a boy or a girl.
Therefore, if Zhao wants to seduce a man, the cost is really quite high!
They may not have done so voluntarily, but they may have wanted to change their own destiny by sacrificing themselves. Anyway, their status in the family would have definitely improved if they slept with them.
Now? With enjoyment, the consequences are also borne.
Zhao Wushe and his brothers carried Zhao Yang's coffin in, followed by carts of funeral objects and chariots.
The weeping women who were buried with him were finally escorted in. After they entered, the stone gate of the tomb fell down.
Zhi Yao didn't know how other people felt after watching such a scene, but he couldn't accept it anyway.
Of course, Zhiyao didn't say anything, let alone do anything.
In fact, what can Zhiyao do? Stand up to stop it, and then start a fight with Zhao on the spot?
If Zhiyao had martial arts skills that could make him an enemy of thousands of people, and had no ties to his family, he might have stood up to stop him.
However, Zhiyao not only has relatives, but is also involved in the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, so she cannot do anything impulsively based on her own personal feelings.
Zhao Wuxie began to salute everyone who came to attend the funeral, and he was still followed by a large group of brothers.
Throughout the funeral, except for those women who were buried with the Zhao family, the presence of other women was quite weak.
The funeral was over, the due responses were completed, and outsiders began to leave.
"Bolu is outside." Wei Ju said.
Yes, Zhao Bolu was still in the state of Dai, and he probably didn't know that Zhao Yang was dead and buried.
Seriously speaking, if you want to criticize Zhao Yang's funeral, the mere fact that Zhao Bolu did not appear at the funeral can indeed be used to make an issue.
One thing is that Zhao Guanjie did not officially take over and become the head of the Zhao family at the funeral.
Whether it was the disruption caused by Han Buxin, Wei Chi, Zhishen and Hu Jie that prevented the inheritance of the power of the Zhao family, or whether there was a problem within the Zhao family itself, we can only see the subsequent development.
According to custom, Zhao Wushe and his brothers and sisters need to stay in "Zhao" for at least three months, but Zhao Huo can leave after only three to five days.
If Zhao Huo is the reason why Zhao Wuji cannot take over the power, then the Zhao family will inevitably stage a family ethics drama on its own.
What is the situation of the Zhao family, it is the same for other families.
After attending Zhao Yang's funeral, everyone returned to "Xintian" together again, and then left "Xintian" one by one for their own fiefdoms.
What Zhiyao and Zhishen returned to was not the "wisdom" place.
At present, the center of gravity of the Zhi family is in the east, and the fiefdoms close to the Qin State are migrating their populations to "Handan" in an orderly manner. The "Zhi" land is more like a nominal home.
The reason why they don't stay in "Xintian" is very practical. Jin Junwu, who goes crazy repeatedly, doesn't know how he will drag people into trouble. Whether it is to send troops to the north next year or to prevent Zhao from killing a certain family, they will stay here anyway.
"New field" is definitely not a wise option.
Until the arrival of the spring season of the new year, the head of the Zhao family was still in a state of uncertainty.
However, Zhao Wuxie did not do anything like half of the mourners and ran away. There was his aunt Bu Ziqing running around in Zhao Wuxie's place.
Gubu Ziqing did not lobby back and forth among the various families with high positions. The first place he went to was "Jinyang".
At present, Zhao's "Zhao" is not the focus of their development, but "Jinyang" far to the north is.
If anyone can master "Zhao" and then control "Jinyang", it is actually equivalent to holding the Zhao family's right to speak. The reason is that the Zhao family's ancestral temple is in "Zhao", a large amount of supplies and the only remaining "Zhao family"
The "regular army" is stationed in "Jinyang".
After the ice and snow melted, various families did not immediately issue recruitment orders.
It is still uncertain whether a war will break out this year, with the Zhongshan Kingdom attacked first, or whether the Zhao family will be attacked in groups for some reason.
The strange thing about the Jin State now is that there is no "Yuan Rong", and there is no one to name the new "Yuan Rong". The king's words are useless, resulting in a leaderless state.
Fortunately, it is still the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the country only has a few "counties" directly under the central management, and the rest are the fiefdoms of various noble families.
Of course, the nobles' fiefdoms are managed by themselves, and no one else has to worry about them.
Jin is in such a situation. What do the other princes think? Anyway, no princes can be seen making any changes for the time being.
Zhiyao did not call back the troops stationed in "Cui" of Qi State.
The Wei family has at least one "division" stationed in "Hulao" for a long time.
There are no princes around Jin who are closely watched by the Qing family, as well as Wei, Qin, and Chu.
Weiguo now just wants to be a little transparent and pray to God to let everyone ignore him.
The Qin State has been in isolation for decades, and there are no signs of coming back eastward for the time being.
The State of Chu once again came into conflict with the State of Wu because of Wu's invasion of the State of Chen, so where did it find the extra energy to cause trouble with the State of Jin?
Zheng is the only country that has the energy to cause trouble. How stupid can he be to provoke Jin at this moment?
After the spring sowing was over, Zhishi was the first to issue a recruitment order, and it was expected that four legions of troops would be recruited.
Afterwards, the Wei family, the Han family, the Hu family... one family after another, actively or passively, they all tried their best to assemble an army.
Among them, the person who issued the recruitment order from the Zhao family was Zhao Huo. Whether he wanted to protect himself or carry out revenge against the Zhongshan Kingdom is anyone's guess.
As for the opinions given by each family to the Zhao family, the most they can do is wait until the day when the armies of each family gather together. If they continue to delay, they need to understand what "don't say it is unforeseen" means.
