Because of Zhizong's illness, Zhiyao, who originally didn't want to stay in "Xintian" for a long time, decided not to leave.
In this day and age, a small cold can become a serious illness. If you don't take care of it properly, your condition will get worse and worse, and you will end up dying of the disease.
Because of the underdeveloped medical technology, when you get sick, you have to rely on your physical fitness to endure it. If you get over it, you will naturally regain your health. If you can't get over it... it won't happen.
Zhizhuo is already sixty-two years old. In modern times, sixty-two years old is considered an old man. In the Spring and Autumn Period, those who lived to sixty-two years old were considered to have a long life.
It is easy for the elderly to get sick. Their body functions have deteriorated and their own resistance is no longer able to resist the disease. Many elderly people rely solely on their willpower to hold on when they are sick. Once the ambition in their hearts is exhausted, they will almost die.
Not good.
While Zhiyao carefully took care of Zhishuang in terms of materials, he often instilled some spiritual chicken soup. In short, he emphasized the importance of Zhishuang to the Zhi family, and the country also needed him, the "Yuanrong", to continue to be at the helm, and so on.
Seven days later, Zhizhu recovered from her illness, but her body was still a little weak.
After Zhizong was able to go out for activities, he chose to meet the king and expressed Zhizong's willingness to obey orders.
What order? The king asked the Zhi family to participate in countering the rebellion.
During those seven days, the chaos in the Jin Kingdom became more and more confusing due to the mutual victory and defeat of each family participating in the war. Generally speaking, it was difficult to tell which camp had the upper hand.
Perhaps because of the unclear situation, or because some of Zhiyao's operations played a role, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family once again recruited people, and externally accused the monarch and Zhao Yang of various crimes.
Are Shijishe and Zhongxingyin completely at odds? Otherwise, taking action is one thing, but publicly blaming the king of a country is another.
They accuse the king of various crimes, which is equivalent to completely blocking their own escape route. Even if they can get some good ending, at most they will take their fiefdom and defect to the king of another country.
"There is an old practice in the state of Zheng. The five clans were bewitched by Hou Jin and rushed to Jin with their land." Zhizong had just returned home from the palace. He heard that the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan were contacting the Qi and Wei states. He felt that Shijishe and Zhongxing
Yin is completely crazy.
It’s not surprising that Zhizong thinks so.
Qi is the small overlord of Shandong. In recent decades, it has repeatedly challenged Jin's position as the hegemon of the Central Plains. Although it has been beaten repeatedly by Jin, the damage to its strength is not too serious.
In short, Qi is a country that can challenge the hegemony of Jin. There is something to be said for Shijishe and Zhongxingyin wanting to defect to Qi, but it is completely ridiculous to defect to Wei.
In fact, Wei State developed earlier than Jin State, but it declined after being defeated by Chi Di once and the capital was moved.
The Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan disapproved of seeking a retreat before the outcome of the civil war. Shi Gaoyi thought it was damaging his own morale, but was angrily rebuked by Shi Jishe.
At present, Shigaoyi has come to "Xintian", and I don't know why the monarch chose to protect him.
Zhiyao knew that the monarch had made such a saucy move again, and said to Zhisong: "Your Majesty wants to weaken the Qing clan, not to destroy it."
Lao Zhijia has decided to join the war. In three days at most, Zhizong should leave "Xintian" and go to "Yin" land to meet his own army.
Wei Chi, who had only survived before, first fled to the "Pu" land, recruited a part of the private army on the spot, and then returned to the "Wei" land.
According to some not-so-reliable news, it is said that Wei Chi once again assembled three "divisions" of private troops, but they just stayed in "Wei" land and did not move.
In the civil war of less than a year in the Jin Kingdom, there were two semi-crossing attacks, which completely made Zhiyao understand that the rules of war among the Xia had changed.
In the midst of all the busyness, Zhiyao received the news that Confucius, who was in Wei State, accepted the invitation and would come to Jin State as a guest next year.
In addition, Confucius was not received by Nanzi in Weiguo, and no nobles were even willing to receive him. He had been living a wandering life.
If Zhiyao had not invited Confucius to visit Zhishi, Confucius would have gone to the Song Dynasty to seek opportunities according to the established process.
"Why did Confucius go to the Song Dynasty? The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were afraid that the princes would remember that he was a remnant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They had always followed the Zhou rites honestly, so how could they accept Confucius who was expelled from the country?" Zhiyao thought to himself.
If Zhiyao remembers correctly, no country would accept Confucius, so he had to live a wandering life for more than ten years. Later, through the efforts of a group of disciples, he was able to return to the State of Lu, and spent the rest of his life as the "Book of Lu".
"The library manager" has passed away.
The situation in Jin did not allow Zhiyao to pay too much attention to Confucius. He would participate in this civil war beside Zhisong, but he did not hold any specific positions.
The reason for not taking up the position is very practical. It is not that Zhiyao is not capable enough, nor is he too young. It is just because he has not yet held the crown ceremony.
In the feudal era, Zhu Xia attached great importance to the crowning ceremony. If the crowning ceremony was not held, it did not mean adulthood. The crowning ceremony was usually performed at the age of twenty-two. In special circumstances, it could be advanced or postponed. Many men under ten years old started early in the ceremony.
The crowning ceremony is used for important events, but some men in their thirties live like children without the crowning ceremony.
The grandparents of Lao Zhi's family are still alive, so even if Zhizong is willing to crown Zhiyao in advance, Zhiyao himself will refuse.
There is no special reason. It is simply that the old wise family has not reached that level yet. If you really do this, it is sending a signal to the outside world that the old wise family is a bit on the ropes and needs the younger generation to take on the important responsibilities.
The four "masters" of the Zhi family met in a place called "Yin".
This "yin" place is currently the fiefdom of the Wei family, and the person responsible for welcoming Zhishuang is called Bi You. He is the head of the Bi family, a small sect of the Wei family.
In addition, the Bi family was actually the main sect of the Wei family. Later, the Wei family became completely developed and replaced Bi family as the main sect in a long-term way. On the contrary, the former main sect became a minor sect. It was completely a "
Replace it".
"Fan Jun has returned to Sui, and you heard that the army and his subordinates have joined forces to form an 'army', which is very strong!" Bi You had one idea, that is, is it too few that Zhizong only brought four 'divisions'?
Shi Jishe was defeated first and then won, especially the three "divisions" of Wei Chi, which were completely annihilated. One can imagine how strong the morale of Fan's private army is now.
"I have my own opinion." Zhishuo said.
What can Bi You do? All he can do is shut up.
Zhiyao, who had followed all the way, looked at the situation in the "Yin" land and couldn't understand why she had such a strong desire to take the "Yin" land as her own.
The private army of the Lao Zhi family stationed in the "Yin" area, and the next day Shijishe sent an envoy.
What is strange is that the person who served as the envoy of Shijishe was Zhongxing Qi, the son of Zhongxing Yin.
"It is unwise to fight against each other from the same clan!" Zhong Xingqi looked distressed.
Yes, it is extremely unfortunate to have roommates fighting each other.
Just what can I do?
The Zhao family, the Wei family, the Han family, the Fan family, and the Zhongxing family all fell into the monarch's conspiracy. The Zhi family knew it was a conspiracy but had to get into it, otherwise the consequences would be extremely unpredictable!
