Nowadays, nobles generally don't want to have children too early. One of the key reasons is that their careers are in a critical period and they don't have much free time to accompany them.
For example, Zhiyao has a child in her early twenties. She has reached the age in life when she should strive for the most. How can she have enough time to spend with her wife and children?
There is another point. After ten or twenty years, the children will reach the age where they want to do something. If the relationship between father and son is not good, there will be many gaps that cannot be eliminated when they grow up.
If it is that kind of powerful family, the relationship between father and son will definitely become more complicated.
It's useless to say so much now. Zhiyao has a child. Unsurprisingly, Zhikai, as the eldest son, will inherit everything from the old Zhi family. Let's think about how to educate him.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhiyao to travel around the world with a young child.
According to custom, it is not suitable to travel far away until the age of thirteen. This is a measure taken by contemporary people to protect their heirs. The reason is of course that even the conditions for nobles to go out are still difficult.
Fen Ying, who was sitting on his knees by the door, saw that Zhi Yao did not have any interaction with Zhi Kai. She pursed her lips for a while, and her eyes gradually turned red.
To be honest, Zhiyao and Fen Ying had a rough time when they first got married. Less than half a year later, Zhiyao spent at least half the year away from home, spending less time with his wife and children and more time away from her father. The same time she spent with her father.
What kind of big undertaking is it that makes you so busy that you even neglect your loved ones?
There are many people who are running around for life. Even if they are not doing any big business, isn't it difficult to have free time for their families?
If you can understand, you will cherish every moment together, but no matter how much you understand, it can't change the fact that you are gradually becoming the most familiar stranger.
Is it good to be enterprising? Of course it is good.
Is it right to be so busy that you don’t even spend time with your loved ones? It’s definitely not right.
However, isn’t it difficult to have the best of both worlds?
"Yao, we have the land of Jishui and the capital of Qi. How can we share the wealth with you?" Zhishen held Zhikai in his arms, while the child was trying to pull his grandfather's loose goatee.
Your Majesty? Lord Jin, chisel.
Zhiyao said: "As usual?"
His voice attracted Zhikai's attention.
Because Zhiyao just sat without speaking or moving, maybe Zhikai didn't notice at all?
Zhikai milk is Fen Ying's own milk, but there is definitely someone around her at all times.
Why do some people become “arrogant”? It’s precisely because of the environment in which they grow up.
For example, Zhikai, there are always people around him, and it is impossible for everyone to interact with him. After getting used to being around people for a long time, it becomes natural to develop the habit of ignoring some people.
Perhaps, Zhikai has forgotten who Zhiyao is and just regards him as no different from those people who are always guarding him?
Don't expect a three-year-old child to know how to identify clothes and identify his or her identity from the clothes. It is more reliable to say that he can recognize faces.
There is a certain amount of wisdom, but there is awareness. For example, those who can speak, and those who never speak, are two different types of people in his cognition.
So, when Zhikai noticed Zhiyao speaking, he immediately stared at Zhiyao with a pair of big black eyes, staring curiously.
Zhiyao was also looking at Zhikai, but there was no other interaction. She said to Zhishen: "Zhao Huo has been dismissed. Now my brother is serving as a guard. Don't be stingy with the little money."
The current guard is Cheng Xiao. He becomes the next guard after Zhao Huo, which is a good thing for him and the Cheng family, and it is also a mixed blessing for the Zhi family.
The good thing is that it is easier to grasp every move of Jin Junzhe, and it is very convenient to take action. As for coercing the king to order the Jin Dynasty? If you really do it, the Zhi family will lose more.
After all, the Jin State was no longer a centralized state. The Zhi family first restored the authority of the monarch before they could use the monarch to do something. Zhi family really wanted to use the monarch to do something, and it could be done without having to control it all the time.
So, why would you do something like making the game more difficult for yourself?
The disadvantage is that once Jin Junzhe does something wrong, Zhishi will definitely have to bear the relevant responsibility.
Another advantage is that as a guard, Cheng Xiao can record or control the people coming and going in the palace.
In the years when the power of the Jin Dynasty was complete and usable, the people who served as guards were either from the public family or close relatives; later..., it should be the generation who served as "Yuan Rong" from Han, and the original rules were broken
Already.
The rules that were broken were not only who should serve as guards, but also the profit sharing to the monarch from external harvests.
Under the old rules, the share of profits required for external harvests to the monarch varied from 20% to 40%, depending on how the family that needed to pay the share of profits fought for it.
In the past, the king used close ministers, but later he used favored ministers. When Xu Tong of Duke Li's generation had the opportunity to cause trouble, it was actually because Xu Tong took advantage of some of the powers given by Duke Li of Jin. Otherwise, how could the Xu family, which was in total decline, follow
Queshi shook hands.
The rules for obtaining harvest profits and giving them to the king changed during the period when Shi Yang served as a "Yuan Rong". He could always find an excuse to embezzle it for himself. If there were any flaws, he would use Fan's tyrannical strength to smooth them out. If he couldn't solve them with words, he would use physical methods.
Already.
There was such a thing. Zhao Yang kept saying that he wanted to strengthen the authority of Jin Dinggong. What could be more convincing than giving him what he deserved?
If you only have an identity, you don’t need money, and you don’t need people, how can you use the authority that comes with your identity?
The Zhao family repeatedly conquered Weiguo, and all the harvests were sent to "Jinyang", but Jin Dinggong didn't get a hair.
Maybe Zhao Yang thought that the stronger the Zhao family could better serve Jin Dinggong? Who knows.
Zhiyao never felt that the Zhi family had any resources that could be squandered or wasted, and some supplies that maintained mutual respect could not be spared.
Why did Zhao Yang leave a very bad reputation in the Jin Kingdom? It was not just the killing of Zhao Wu who came to his door, but it was actually the accumulation of many things in daily life.
The Zhi family also fought in the north and south, and even destroyed four countries. Regardless of their reputation abroad, their domestic reputation is not completely negative.
As long as someone participates in the Zhi family's foreign expeditions, no matter how big or small the credit is, they will definitely get their share, no matter how small the profit should be given to the monarch. This is the main reason why the Zhi family has a good reputation.
They are good people. It doesn't matter whether any of the Zhi family members did anything arrogant or domineering.
If a family is big enough, it is impossible not to have troubles. Even if it is not looking for trouble, it is because the family is really strong, and it will inevitably behave stronger when dealing with things. Just in terms of strength, many people who come into contact with it
People can regard it as provocation.
"Is everything going on in the palace?" Zhiyao asked.
Zhishen said with a strange expression: "Nothing."
This made Zhiyao feel strange when she saw it, and she couldn't tell whether Zhishen was caused by Zhikai naughtily grabbing his beard, or whether Jin Junzhe had done something wrong.
Zhiyao has also started to grow a beard.
Lao Zhijia does not have the gene for a beard, just a small beard on the chin.
In addition, after all, Zhiyao is still young, and his beard is only a little sparse. It is really out of scale, and it is almost equivalent to having a lonely beard.
Zhishen's small beard was pulled by Zhikai, and his face was wrinkled in pain, but he looked like he was enjoying it.
"My Lord and I have banquets every day, and sometimes we have sex during the day," Zhishen said.
Zhiyao knew about this and had no intention of intervening.
If it were Zhiyao's turn to intervene, it would only be the day when Jin Junzhe's signs of using Cheng Xiao were discovered.
Zhiyao said: "This is a promising king."
What Zhishen was afraid of was what Jin Junzhe wanted to do, which would lead to him taking advantage of or complicating Cheng Xiao.
Yes, Cheng Xiao was re-employed due to the failure of internal competition, but nothing could erase the fact that he was Zhishen's son, and the Cheng family was also one of the Zhi family's small sects.
Cheng Xiao's background alone has something that can be used, and if used well, it will even be very useful.
In the past, Cheng Xiao stayed in his own fiefdom, and few people would take the initiative to seek out relationships with him under special circumstances. It was considered peaceful for more than ten years.
Now that Cheng Xiao is working in "Xintian", it is equivalent to returning to the center. The position is quite special. He has plunged into the power center with no real power. He is suitable for doing something. If he doesn't want to do anything, there will be people who want to get close to Cheng Xiao.
What did Xiao gain?
Therefore, Zhishen was very worried about Cheng Xiao. What was terrible was that he could not think of a proper solution. He had been worried for a long time.
Of course Zhi Yao could understand Zhishen's worries, but Cheng Xiao had to do something if he didn't want to wait for death, right? The problem was that Cheng Xiao was not good at internal affairs or military affairs, so he only had to accompany the king to eat, drink and have fun.
"Brother is enjoying it, and with Wu by his side, he will be fine," Zhiyao said.
This is the reason why Zhishen is in a complicated mood. Cheng Xiao, who is incompetent, wants to do something. As a father, he has been deprived of his status as an heir. How can he not be unable to meet his demands?
Zhishen was just worried and did not intervene. In fact, it was Zhiyao who made the relevant arrangements. He believed that Zhiyao would ask Cheng Wu to ensure Cheng Xiao's safety.
It may be a bit contradictory. For example, if Zhi Yao usurped Cheng Xiao's position as heir, logically he should be suppressed? However, that is not the case in the current era.
Zhiyao stood up slowly and reached out to Zhikai.
In an instant, people in the corridor outside the door showed expectant expressions, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that Zhikai would run over and hold Zhiyao's hand.
But Zhikai was playing with Zhishen's beard, or Zhishen stood up, hugged Zhikai and stuffed him into Zhiyao's arms.
"Ada is very well-behaved." Zhishen said with a smile.
Oh, really?
What little kid is not naughty, especially a three-year-old like Zhikai who is indulged in everything? It must be his nature to run around after learning to walk.
No, Zhikai noticed the change of arms, looked up at Zhiyao, and found that the person was unfamiliar, and seemed to be about to cry?
Fen Ying stepped into the room on small steps and looked at Zhiyao with her head down and eyes down, looking aggrieved and well-behaved.
"..." Zhiyao knew that she had neglected Fen Ying, but there really was no other bad behavior.
To be honest, Zhiyao was not messing around outside. If he needed anything, it would be either Shi Yiguang or Zheng Dan. And the latter two were Zhiyao's lovers. In the current era, they were definitely not stealing or flirting.
Zhishen looked at the backs of Zhiyao holding Zhikai and holding Fen Ying's hands as they left, and thought to himself: "Family is family, family is family. It's all the fault of that brat Zhao Wuji that it's like this!"
