Before something is finally confirmed, any iteration is normal.
Zhiyao's thinking logic is not chaotic.
Is Wu really not going north in the short term, or is he releasing false news and suddenly going north? In fact, it is right for Zhiyao to make relevant preparations.
In the same way, no matter who was involved in sealing the ritual vessels or participating in the assassination, Zhiyao treated everyone as a suspect, remained vigilant enough, and imagined possible plans, which was basically enough.
The path Zhiyao wants to take is a bit different. She is destined to have only three types of interpersonal relationships: partners, enemies and available objects.
To put it bluntly, what is it? Even if the Wei family participates in the assassination, as long as their existence is beneficial to what Zhiyao wants to do, and they can even cooperate in the short term, it is the same to Zhiyao whether they participate in the assassination or not.
Therefore, unless one day the Wei family can become a member of the country founded by Zhiyao, they will eventually be the ones who need to be eliminated. Zhiyao has already figured out the relationship a long time ago, and there is nothing worth hesitating or hesitating about.
Zhiyao expressed such an attitude to various families and made the assumption that Wu Jun would go north, which can be regarded as creating a tense atmosphere.
Keeping the atmosphere tense is in Chi's interests, both internally and externally.
"No, all the families are devoted to my family, and we need to pay attention to it." Zhiyao felt that there were too many things that she needed to explain to Zhishen.
There is another thing that Zhiyao needs to solve urgently, which is to unify the thinking of the top leaders of the Zhi family.
Zhiyao said to Zhishen: "Winter is coming this year, so I need to call everyone to Ye."
Having made up his mind, Zhishen was willing to cooperate with whatever request Zhiyao asked. Even though he didn't understand what Zhiyao wanted to do, he still agreed.
It's just that Zhishen is a little confused as to who is on the list to be invited.
Zhiyao had already made a list, handed it to Zhishen, and said, "The people of Lu can send them to Lu or to Yue."
So when we went to the city of "Ye" to hold a conference, we had no intention of including the Lu people.
It's not just Zhiyao who has a problem with them. One of the reasons is that some people are more loyal to their teachers than Zhishi. Once they trust and are betrayed, the price will be high.
Some people will appreciate such people more, but Zhiyao is not one of them.
One day, Han Geng came over and said directly: "My father is ill."
Han Geng's words made Zhi Yao stunned.
Sick?
The first thing Zhiyao thought of was a certain King of Chu, which meant that being sick meant being lustful.
After reacting, Zhiyao realized that Han Buxin was already a bit old and being sick was not a good sign.
At the same time, Han Geng said that Han Buxin was ill, which did not mean that he was ill. The correct direction of understanding should be that Han Buxin had a psychological illness, which is called mental illness in modern medical terms.
Zhiyao asked: "Why?"
Han Geng replied: "Internal worries will not stop, and external troubles will never end. This is the case."
This will test whether Zhiyao has studied the history well.
There was once a person whose symptoms were the same as Han Buxin's. That person was named Shi Xie.
The head of the Fan family, that is, Shi Xie, faced with the situation of internal and external troubles in Jin, and advised several colleagues to stop fighting internally and not to attack Chu too hard externally.
In fact, Shi Xie was the first person to put forward the theory of "being born in sorrow, dying in happiness, being invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish". Later, Mencius elaborated in his book "Gao Zixia" that "being invincible to foreign patients, the country will be destroyed".
There is no source for this view of eternal death.
Then, Han Geng's purpose of coming to Zhi Yao is relatively clear. He mentioned that Han Buxin was mentally ill, reminded Zhi Yao of the current situation Jin was facing, and implicitly asked Zhi to let Zhao go.
Of course, the above is Zhiyao’s understanding and may not be accurate.
Zhiyao said: "Don't worry about me, I can get rid of foreign troubles."
After receiving a clear rejection, Han Geng stopped making any hints and after chatting with Zhi Yao for a while, he chose to leave.
In the following days, something happened that Zhiyao did not expect.
Some retainers of the Han family came to the Zhi family to inform them that Han Buxin had died on the way back to his fiefdom.
Is this because Zhi Yao misunderstood what Han Geng wanted to express a few days ago, or was it because Han Buxin wanted to be worthy of his friendship with Zhao before he died and tried to help Zhao make peace with Zhi?
Han Buxin's death was sudden because there was no news of his illness before.
"Perhaps it's to avoid disaster?" Expo Road guessed.
Since Zhi Yao clearly expressed her refusal to make peace on behalf of the Zhi family, and since the Wei family had recently begun to target the Zhao family, the Han family had no choice but to do extraordinary things if they did not want to get involved.
Shi Xie once went on a hunger strike and died because he did not want to be involved in the civil strife. This really helped the Fan family avoid being involved in the civil strife. Only then did the Fan family sit firmly on Diaoyutai amid the strife among various families.
Now Han Buxin is definitely studying for Xie, hoping to use his own death to free the Han family from the whirlpool of civil strife.
There is only one question left: did Han tell Zhao about his discovery of Zhi and Wei?
Judging from Han Buxin's resolute attitude that he would rather die than get involved in civil strife, it is very likely that Han did not inform Zhao of his discovery, right?
The situation has become very clear. Once Han Buxin dies, some things simply cannot be delayed!
Regarding this point, Zhiyao understands that the smart people in the Zhao family can think of it, and some others will not ignore it.
Therefore, after the Han family cheated the Zhao family in the last civil war, they cheated the Zhao family again. This time, I am afraid that the Zhao family will be expelled from the Jin Kingdom.
The king of Dai has accepted Zhao's invitation and agreed to visit "Jinyang" in spring next year.
If Han Buxin really wanted to use his own death to free the Han family from the whirlpool, dying near winter would undoubtedly be the most appropriate time to choose.
Another "Qing" of the Jin Kingdom died? Although Han Buxin was already over sixty years old, and the current average life expectancy is only twenty-five years old, it is considered a happy death, but it is undoubtedly a big event, especially when the Jin Kingdom is in the midst of a crisis.
In an atmosphere of actively dealing with foreign enemies.
What kind of foreign enemy? It was the atmosphere created by the Zhi family that determined that the Wu State might move northward in a short period of time, and that the princes would form a coalition to invade the Jin State.
If that kind of atmosphere had been deliberately created before, Han Buxin's death would most likely make that thing come true.
It's really not slander, it's just that the Wu State took advantage of people's danger and mourning to attack. They most likely took advantage of the Han family's mourning period, when the Jin State lost a high-ranking family to participate in the war, and sent troops north to challenge the Jin State.
"Why is this..." Wei Ju and Zhiyao were in the same car.
The teams of the Zhi family, the Wei family, the Hu family and the Zhong family very deliberately avoided going with the Zhao family's team and were on their way to the "Han" land.
After they became literate, the first thing they did was to study history. After repeated study, the history of their country would become familiar to them. Who doesn’t know Shi Xie’s past?
Hu Jie and Zhong Wu were in the same car, and they had many conversations on the road about how the Wei family would join the ranks against the Zhao family. It was because both families were moving closer to the Zhi family, and they were glad that the Wei family could take the same stance.
As for saying that Zhiyao is the son-in-law of the Zhao family but rejecting the Zhao family? It's just a marriage. When you recognize him, you are a relative. If you don't recognize him, that's it.
A true marriage can maintain friendship. Their family history is so long. How can the Zhao family who is not named Ji and other high-ranking families not have a history of marriage? I have never seen anyone choose to be merciful because of marriage.
.
When they arrived at "Han", Zhao's team had already arrived first.
As the leader of the Zhao family, Zhao Bolu should have arrived early. It seemed a little unusual not to see the other core figures of the Zhao family.
If it were the others, knowing that they were being targeted, what they would do is seek to regain harmony. Zhao Bolu tried a few times and stopped trying, but it didn't look like he had recognized the reality and was preparing to resist. On the contrary, he seemed to be
Feeling at a loss and not knowing what to do.
From Zhao's point of view, it's a good thing that there are still people who can do Zhao's idea and not let Zhao wait for death in this state.
Zhao Wuji, who had been staying in "Jinyang", changed his original intention of inviting Dai Guo to come over not to kill him, but to want to continue the marriage, seek Dai Guo as a foreign aid, or regard Dai Guo as his
This is Zhao's retreat.
Zhiyao still admired Zhao Wuxie's ability to adapt to the situation, and she knew even more clearly that Zhao Wuxie's changes were very timely.
"I heard that the Zhao family sent people to 'Yong'." The 'Yong' Zhiyao mentioned was not the 'Yong' land of Jin State, but the capital city of Qin State, 'Yong'.
What's more interesting is that this was "accidentally" revealed by the Han family before being known to the Zhi family. Unsurprisingly, someone from the Han family would also "accidentally" leak it on the Wei family side.
So you can see that Wei Ju's expression did not change after hearing this.
As the saying goes, things in the world are impermanent, which is quite normal.
Zhiyao is good at taking advantage of the situation, and others will not close their eyes and wait for death when faced with difficulties.
To be honest, even if Zhao Wuji suddenly formed an alliance with Qin, Wu, or other countries, Zhiyao would not be surprised at all.
Accusing something? Zhiyao would accuse, but in her heart she was even more certain that Zhao Wushe was the same person as herself to some extent.
People who would think this way must include Fu Chai and Gou Jian.
In the current era, they are all the kind of people who would do whatever it takes to do great things.
They met and couldn't hide even if they wanted to. Logically speaking, Zhao Bolu should seize the opportunity to contact Zhishen or Zhiyao, but Zhao Bolu avoided them and tried his best to avoid eye contact.
Why did Zhao Bolu do this? His thought was: "I know that I have been ignored. Maybe the ritual objects and the assassination were done by Zhao Wushe and some people from the Zhao family? How can I ask for forgiveness from the Zhi family?"
If you are so honest and honest, you are destined to suffer losses no matter what age you are.
Seeing how honest and honest Zhao Bolu was, it really made Zhiyao feel some compassion, and her feelings of compassion were soon submerged under her ambition.
"The land of 'mulberry picking' belongs to me, 'Jinyang' belongs to the Zhi family, and the rest can be obtained by the Hu family and the Zhong family?" Wei Ju asked.
They were watching Han Buxin's coffin being taken into the underground palace.
Zhiyao glanced at Zhao Bolu, whose face was full of sorrow, and observed Hu Jie and Zhong Quan from the corner of his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "I want Bolu to stay in Qin."
Wei Ju was obviously stunned for a moment, thought for a moment before responding positively, and said, "Yes."
The Zhao family of Jin State and the leader of Qin State have the same ancestors. Even if Zhao Bolu fled to Qin State alone, he would still be rich and glorious, right?
Wei Ju would not be as innocent as before. He felt that Zhiyao was caring about his feelings and thought: "If the Zhao family is destroyed, will it be the Han family's turn next?"
Why does he think so?

Okay, the foreshadowing seems to be a bit of a failure. No more foreshadowing, just go straight to the meaty scenes.
