Zhiyao was very concerned about what Zhao Yang wanted to do because he knew that once Zhao in Handan was in trouble, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family would intervene.
The Jin Kingdom is currently divided into three factions. The Zhao family, the Han family and the Wei family are not allies but are allies; the Fan family and the Zhongxing family are allies of each other; the third camp is the neutral camp, and the Zhi family is the only neutral camp. The Qing clan and the rest are numerous small and medium-sized nobles.
Where have the Dukes of Jin gone? Since Luan Shu destroyed Sanque, the Dukes have declined precipitously. Later, Duke Ao of Jin saved a wave, but Duke Ao of Jin passed away very young and failed to consolidate the Gongs. The vested results of "recovering blood" were quickly divided up by the Qingwei family and other families.
At present, the Dukes of Jin are not too weak, they are just too scattered to be twisted into a unified force.
"With the current efficiency of doing things, even though Zhao Yang imprisoned Zhao Wu, if the Zhao family did not immediately gather troops to take action, it would have taken at least another year? Besides, Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin are not vegetarians, and things will definitely be okay. There has been a change." Zhiyao thought to herself.
He used a delicious meal to obtain some rights from Zhizong, including the ability to mobilize Zhizhi's retainers to purchase supplies outside the family, and the ability to take things at will from the family treasury.
It's not just about a delicious meal, it's about the younger generation being filial to their grandfather and father and winning the favor of the head of the family.
In the past, apart from Zhisong, the head of the family, only Zhishen had the power to mobilize retainers and use treasury materials. Now there is another Zhiyao, but Zhixiao, as the eldest son, does not have the power.
Zhiyao knew that Zhixiao would inevitably go to see Zhishuo to obtain the same rights.
This was also one of Zhiyao's plans to fight for the identity of the heir. In the past few years, he had repeatedly used similar tactics to force Zhixiao to fight again and again, which made Zhijuan and Zhishen increasingly feel that Zhixiao was asking for too much.
All current families are very realistic. Even direct members who do not contribute to the family, but instead make excessive demands, will not only make those in power feel greedy, but also make many vassals and retainers have a negative view.
Because of the failure of instigating Zhishen from the side, Zhishen was even surprised, and Zhiyao finally understood that she could not interfere in family affairs for the time being.
"Ancestor." Zhi Yao first observed Zhi Shuang outside the door of his office for a while, and then greeted him after noticing Zhi Shuang stopped.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, even in the late Spring and Autumn Period, there were no public houses...that is, offices set up by the government. Anyone with an official position usually worked at home, and only when important matters came up would they go to the palace to discuss them in the presence of the king.
You can see that there are many shelves in the room where Zhizong is, and bundles of bamboo slips are placed on the compartments of each wooden shelf.
"What's the matter?" Zhizong looked tired, but still showed a happy expression when he saw Zhiyao coming.
Zhiyao saluted again and said, "I heard that there is a wise man in Luoyi, and I would like to visit him and ask for his advice."
The Zhou royal family had long since declined. Where did the sages come from? Some of them were scholars from other countries who went to the "library" of "Luoyi" to borrow books.
Zhizong thought for a while and asked: "But the posthumous title Boyang?"
Not many people probably know who the posthumous name Boyang is. He is Li Er, also known as Lao Tzu.
As for "Luoyi", all the countries actually know who it refers to, and there is no one else except Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu was originally from the State of Li, which was destroyed and annexed by the State of Chu in the seventh year of King Zhou Jing (538 BC).
Therefore, I am now a Chu native living in "Luoyi" and only occasionally return to my homeland.
Zhiyao responded: "Exactly."
Zhizong twitched his beard, as if he was thinking carefully about the matter. After a short while, he said: "Yes."
In fact, he was thinking just now: "The Zhao family is going to destroy Handan Zhao. The Fan family and the Zhonghang family will never sit back and watch Handan Zhao's destruction. A war will break out between the two sides. My family will definitely be involved, and I still haven't decided which side to choose.
Which side might be able to imitate the story of Duke Wen (Chong'er)?"
Can Zhiyao, who is only six years old, run around? It depends on which family he is a child of. The bigger the family, the more they like their children to travel around to increase their knowledge; in the case of a small family, there is a lack of capital to maintain the family's operations, where can it come from?
The money and silk provided for his children to study abroad, and there were not enough escorts to accompany them.
In today's world, not only are there deserted areas everywhere, but there are also frighteningly large numbers of ferocious beasts in the wild. If you go out alone and wander around in the wild, you won't be able to go back.
"Where do you want to go?" Zhixiao realized that the commotion in the family was a bit big. After asking about it, she found out that it was Zhiyao who caused it, so she ran to Zhiyao to ask.
Zhiyao said: "Zu allowed me to go to 'Luoyi'."
The young Zhixiao was a little jealous at first, but then she thought: "If he goes out, I want it too!"
Zhi Yao looked at Zhi Xiao's back as he came and went, feeling a dull emotion in his heart.
Zhiyao looks only six years old, but his soul is that of an adult from later generations. After excluding the soul travel, he has to adapt to the various customs and customs of the Spring and Autumn Period. Indispensable, he has to adapt his thinking, logic and values, but he can still adapt from all aspects.
Crush Zhixiao.
Therefore, Zhiyao's "palace fighting skills" against Zhixiao are basically bullying.
Zhixiao, who left Zhiyao, went to see Zhishuo. She looked at Zhishuo and waited until Zhishuo was no longer busy before asking to see her. She also asked to go out for a trip.
Zhizong is very happy that the third generation of her family is so motivated.
He knew clearly that Zhixiao was competing with his brother again, but he still asked with a smile: "Where do you want to travel?"
There are only a few academics in the current era. Jin State has a lot of big names in name because it is the hegemonic country. The problem is that it is a bit biased, either leaning towards military affairs or legality.
When Zhi Xiao came, he thought clearly and said, "I want to go to Linzi to seek advice from Yan Zi."
Yan Zi is Yan Ying. He participated in the governance of Qi State at a very young age and created many stories. Among them, his mission to Chu State and Two Tao Tao Killing Three Scholars are the most widely circulated in the contemporary era.
After all, Zhixiao is also the grandson of the contemporary "Yuan Rong" of Jin State. Even though Qi State is prosperous under Yan Ying's governance, and Qi State and Jin State have not been at odds with each other for a long time, it is still a good idea to have the grandson of "Yuan Rong" of Jin State come to seek advice.
Will be met.
It's just that when Zhizong heard that Zhixiao was going to ask Yan Ying for advice, his face looked a little strange. After being silent for a while, he said, "Qi Zhengqing has been bedridden for several years. How can I teach you?"
Zhixiao was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't know many great sages, so he quickly started thinking about whom to ask his grandfather to visit.
While Zhisong had no problem with Zhixiao not knowing that Yan Ying was terminally ill, the problem was that Zhixiao was blind and deaf about Zhao's plan to attack Handan Zhao, and was dissatisfied with the current situation when he proposed to go to Qi.
If the Zhao family takes action against Handan Zhao, the civil war will break out in the central and western parts of Jin.
If the Fan family and the Zhonghang family decided to side with Handan Zhao, there would immediately be a chaotic war within the Jin state.
In the current situation, Zhixiao actually wants to go to Qi State, which may take advantage of it at any time? He is already twelve years old, why doesn't a child of a big family have the sensitivity to the current situation?
Why would Zhiyao be praised for going to the Zhou royal family? Of course, it is because the Zhou royal family does not have the strength to intervene in the civil war of Jin. Moreover, even if the Zhou royal family is already a sign, no one will easily cause trouble in "Luoyi" unless necessary.
Zhiyao who possesses enough force will be extremely safe in "Luoyi".
Zhisong thought to himself: "It would be better for Zhixiao to stay in 'Xintian', so as not to be deceived when he goes out."
At this time, a retainer came to report, saying that news came from the south, spying on Sun Wu's intention to return to seclusion, and that Wu State intended to launch an invasion of Yue State.
Sun Wu? That’s right, it was the Sun Wu who said, “Soldiers have deceitful ways.” He was the military sage who put an end to the “gentleman’s war” among the Xia.
When Zhixiao wanted to go out to study but was rejected, and when he saw Zhijuan starting to get busy, he was filled with disappointment and thought: "My grandfather and father are really too partial!"
