Chapter 27: The Lord of the Fu Family (Happy New Year's Day!)
It took Zhiyao half a month to travel back to "Xintian", but when she got home, she heard the news that Zhishu was ill.
It was not a fake illness to offend the monarch or anyone else. It was most likely that Zhi Shuang was really sick because of his worries.
Although she is very reluctant to arrange for her elders, Zhiyao can't help but think that "their mental endurance is really bad."
A high-ranking person who always gets sick when something happens happens. Faking illness with ulterior motives is a common trick of the old Yin Bip. He is just hiding in the dark and waiting for the Yin person.
As long as you are a powerful person in any era, you must not get sick frequently, otherwise you will not be able to accomplish anything, and it will be doomed for you to lose power.
Zhiyao saw Zhisong again and found that her grandfather had become exaggeratedly thin in just over two months!
Once an elderly person in his sixties loses weight suddenly, the situation will be very bad!
"Ancestor, please take care of yourself!" Zhiyao was worried.
For the old wise family, the wise man must not fall down at present.
In terms of family ties, Zhiyao sincerely hopes Zhisong can live a long life.
"I feel the wind and cold occasionally, it's nothing serious." Zhizhuo didn't sound so weak, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't eat all your delicious food?"
Huh!?
If this trend continues, will Zhiyao have a name similar to "Yiya"?
When a person with a cold eats anything, it tastes tasteless. What Zhizong said gave Zhiyao some comfort, but she couldn't help but become more worried.
Zhizhuo coughed a few times, calmed down before asking: "What's the matter with Yao's return to 'Xintian'?"
This requires Zhiyao to first ask Zhisong if he knows about the recent developments.
"I know." Zhizong showed a hesitant expression and said, "Qi, Guo and I have been coming here together recently..."
Qi's full name is Zhongxing Qi, and he is the son of Zhongxing Yin.
Guo is Fuguo, the head of the Fu family's small sect separate from the Zhi family.
Their frequent requests to see Zhizong must be to get Zhizhi to join the Zhongxing and Fan camps, but they don't know whether it was just the rhetoric or the price they offered that made Zhizhu so hesitant.
"Yao is back and has some advice for his ancestors." Zhi Yao knew that she couldn't delay it any longer. If the old Zhi family really sided with the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, even if they could win in the end, it would definitely be a miserable victory.
Looking at what Shijishe and Bank of China did after they raised their troops, can we still see that it will be a doomed outcome?
Needless to say, some people really can't see it and even think that the Fan family and the Zhonghang family will win.
Just from the monarch's series of operations and Zhao Yang's firm will and clear goals, Zhiyao did not think that Fan and Zhongxing, who had not understood the situation, could still be saved.
So, if the Zhi family can join the Zhao family to feast on the Fan family and the Zhonghang family without much risk, why should they join the Fan family and the Zhonghang family to play hell mode?
The most important point is that Zhiyao doesn't think Shi Jishe or Zhong Xingyin can listen to advice. If they can really listen to advice, it is impossible for all members of the Fan family and Zhong Xing family to be fools. Someone must offer other strategies.
But it was not adopted.
There is a saying that "it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words"!
Zhiyao recounted the possible progress of the situation, and then described the mentality of the monarch and Zhao Yang when he discovered it, and then finally said: "At this time of life and death, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family are still lucky, how can they not perish?"
The sick Zhizong was a little confused at first, but when she listened to Zhiyao's story, she was startled by her repeated hesitations and sweated. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, she sweated even more, but her willpower became completely clear.
"In your opinion, when will my family join the war?" It was very difficult for Zhizong to say this. It was not due to physical factors, but simply because he felt uncomfortable at the thought of standing on the opposite side of the Zhongxing family.
If Zhizong had not been sick, Lao Zhijia had already assembled a private army, waiting for the right time to join the war immediately.
The key is that Zhizhuo is ill and needs to recover before he can join the war.
When Zhizong saw that Zhiyao didn't answer but just looked at him, he smiled reluctantly and said, "I sweat a lot from ginger soup."
Drinking ginger soup when you have a cold can help remove moisture from the body and help relieve cold symptoms. However, this kind of thing was only in the hands of a few people in the past, but for Zhiyao, it is a basic common sense.
Zhiyao ordered people to bring more blankets.
The servant looked at Zhishuang.
That's right, Zhiyao is a direct member of the family, but she is not the head of the family. If the head of the family is present, how can the servants dare to obey instructions that exceed their superiors?
"From now on, Yao's words will be like mine." Zhisong said.
The retainers and servants present quickly saluted Zhiyao to express their understanding.
What does it mean? It means that Zhishuo has given Zhiyao the authority that belongs to the head of the family. In the future, whatever Zhiyao wants to do, the retainers and servants do not have to ask for Zhishuo's consent before executing it.
Realizing what had happened and how much impact it would have on Zhiyao, he stood up from his knees and bowed to Zhiyao cautiously.
Using You Ming's way of cognition, what Zhi Yao did today directly led to Zhi Yao becoming a "grandson".
This time Zhizong was no longer hinting, but was completely making his position clear.
In one aspect, Zhishuo was satisfied with Zhiyao before, and secondly, Zhishuo was so satisfied with Zhiyao's analysis of the situation that he did what he did.
Zhizong also called the clan members and retainers at home and repeated what he had just said.
Fuguo, who was also a witness, suddenly lost his expression.
The Spring and Autumn Period did not deliberately emphasize "filial piety", but it must have the meaning it should have.
Waiting for Zhishen to become the head of the Zhi family, and not wanting to bear the reputation of being unfilial, he could only choose Zhiyao as his successor.
Zhiyao noticed something unusual about Fu Guo, and her eyes became sharp as she thought of something.
Of course there are people in the Lao Zhi family who support Zhi Xiao, and don't forget that Zhi Xiao is currently "exiled" to the Fu clan.
Fuguo was one of Zhixiao's supporters in the past, and since Zhixiao has lived in "Fu" for a long time, the two parties were "bound" to a certain extent.
"Lord, Yao is young..." Fu Guo didn't finish his words.
"Shut up!" Zhizhuo interrupted, and then said: "Guo returns to the 'auxiliary' and recruits two 'brigades' of troops to be dispatched by Yao Yao."
The strength of two "brigades"? With the size of the Fu family, wouldn't it be hollowed out all of a sudden?
Fuguo's expression kept changing, and he felt extremely unhappy. He did not dare to disobey the order of the master of the sect, so he responded in a low voice: "Promise!"
To use "nuo" is to accept one's fate from below.
Using "WEI" means "obedience" respect.
It seems that Fuguo still expressed his reluctance, otherwise he would have responded with "Wei" at this time.
While the main tribesmen and retainers were all present, Zhizong issued some other orders. The general idea was that Zhiyao would assume Zhishen's power on behalf of Zhishen. Everyone should not hesitate to receive orders from Zhiyao and must execute them immediately.
As long as they are not too slow, they should understand that the old Zhi family is going to make a big move, and Zhi Yao's role in this big move will be very important!
