Chapter 104: The Assassination at the Funeral(1/2)

Chapter 104 Assassination at the funeral just asked for votes, and it was the end of the month. I beg you all to vote for it and thank you

Looking up at the door, Zhao Wu understood.

Outside the palace gate, the power of five major families was set up: there were eight Zhengqings in Jin State, and the warriors standing outside the gate included four Zhengqing's family warriors. In addition to the family warriors of San Xun, even the warriors left by the Zhao family were among them. The leader of the warrior Wu Yu was laughing at Zhao Wu among the crowd.

Among them, there are Fresh Warriors, and Han Bo, who has always been an old fox, actually sent a team.

Look, a Han warrior leader also showed a silly smile behind Jiaojiao.

The four great ministers and five families joined forces. This is a force that is enough to depose the king. When Duke Li was killed, he just used the power of the two families of Xun Yan when he walked around.

Now there are five families who block the door.

Who dares to stop this power

When Zhiji saw Zhao Wu appear, Li Fu pointed at Zhao Wu's nose and asked: Lord, my brother is dying, my father is looking for you everywhere, you have been out for a year and have been back in China. I don't know if you go home quickly, but drink and have fun everywhere. Is this attitude the attitude that the head of the family should have

Zhao Wu was thinking about words in his head, and Duke Dao came from behind: This is all my fault. I am about to go to the princes of the Mongke. I want to know the situation in the south, so I chatted with General Situ Zhao for a while, and I was taken away from the general's return home. I asked Zhao Zhiji to forgive me.

Zhiji is not polite: Inquiring about the military situation in the south, the emperor can talk to the army commander, even if my father is too busy. There is also the deputy commander Fan Zi, my husband is just a small military general, how can I know too much military situation

Duke Dao smiled and replied: "A small army general, such as a small army general, has successively captured two countries for our Jin State and captured two kings. If such a person is a small person, there are so many talents in our Jin State.

Zhiji means: My husband is just the second-last person. You shouldn't look for anyone to look for, he doesn't care about it.

Duke Dao’s answer was: He is a great hero of our army. If I don’t ask him to find out the situation, who can I find?

Zhiji's questioning was aggressive, and Duke Dao's answer seemed weak, but there was a needle hidden in the cotton. Zhiji wanted to retort. Zhao Wu interrupted, and pointed at the martial arts institute and asked calmly: Family mobilization is not a trivial matter. Who has the order you received before you came out?

Wuxiu stepped forward and saluted and explained: Lord, the lady led the young master to find Shi Xiu Shi Yan. The two teachers had no choice but to issue orders to dispatch troops.

According to the Spring and Autumn system, Zhao Wu was not there, and his eldest son Zhao Cheng did have the power to temporarily command the family armed forces. Zhiji took Zhao Cheng to talk to the two teachers. For Zhao Cheng's sake, the two teachers issued orders to dispatch troops. From the ritual system, they were indeed irreproachable.

The matters of the three Xunmen are not discussed, which is someone else's housework. Zhao Wu, the current head of the Wugong Military Academy, commander of the Grand Inner Guard, then turned to Han. Before he could speak, the Han warrior leader stepped forward and bowed and explained: Last night, we were inviting guests, and Zhao Zhiji came to ask for Zhao's general. The leader of Aqi and Han Qi were entangled and had to send us to serve him.

The Han warrior leader called Zhao Zhiji is not a disrespectful attitude.

Just as modern people call each other official titles and honorary titles as honorary titles, Zhao and Zhi are both honorary titles of Zhao Zhiji. The former says she married a husband with a fiefdom, while the latter says she was born in a family with a fiefdom. This method of titles is just like in formal titles, Han Qi and Fan Zi are both honorary titles. In fact, the ancients did not have this method of title. The Chinese and Autumn voices are monosyllable Qi and Dian, which is a name that expresses affection. Just to facilitate modern people's understanding, this article has added the word A in front.

Zhao Wu interrupted. Zhiji turned her target to Zhao Wu, but when she opened her mouth and said something, the warriors who were thundering in Ran Wei Jiaojiao fell: Lord, why are you looking blue? Who beats you? Who dares to hit you? All five samurai are here? Who bullies my master? I won't tear him down.

Zhao Wu whispered: Don't make trouble: These two eyes are not beaten, they have dark circles. People who haven't had a good sleep are like this.

Before Zhao Wu finished speaking, Jiaojiao jumped up again and said with pain: Why? I didn’t sleep well? Well, you have been fighting for a year and must be worried about the hard work. I have never seen such a monarch who doesn’t feel sorry for others.

After Jiaojiao finished speaking, she pulled Zhao Wu to run home. Wu Sui was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased the head of the family. Xun Yan's general in the Zhongxing family was quite stupid and asked stupidly: The main master has left, and he doesn't say hello. What should we do?

The Zhi family will be wise. Answer: When our Jiaojiao leaves, we will naturally disband and go home. Let's leave quickly.

The general of the Zhongxing family scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: I thought I was going to kill the king again.

The Han family general whispered: "You fool, why don't you get out of here?"

After everyone finished, Pan Dang and Yingchu also walked out of the palace gate. Han Zai's general hurriedly pulled the two to apologize to the king. The king waved his hand generously: Housework, but it was a little bit of a big deal. Go back and tell the ruling Han Jue that I don't mind.

After everyone has finished walking, the king turned to Bodi: Wuzi said that people will have dark circles when they lack sleep. Look, do I have it?

Bo Liu nodded. Duke Dao complained: Zhao Zhiji only saw the dark circles of her husband's master, and blamed me. Didn't she see that I also had two dark circles of my eyes?

Bo Kuang replied respectfully: Zhao Zhiji has always looked down on others, only her husband.

Duke Dao smiled. While shaking his head and walking into the palace, he smiled and said: I have more than ten days left before I can leave. I originally wanted to find Brother Wu for a few more days, but now I don’t dare to go to his house to find him.

Remember, in three or two days, if Brother Wu doesn't come to me, you will go to him, and you will say that the king of Xu will leave with me, but the army of Xu is in his hands and the king of Xu will go to swear. There are not even guards around him, and it is always not very good-looking. Wu Zi can spit out some hundred military vehicles and accompany the king of Xu. In this way, the etiquette will be complete and the face of the princes of the various countries will be given.

Bo Suan agreed and led the monarch to the palace.

A farce of forcing a palace came to an end in the blink of an eye. The blocked overlord didn't dare to be angry. Of course, he didn't dare to be angry anymore. Because everyone has rights in feudal society. The overlord has rights, and the little lord under him also has his own rights. Zhao Wu fulfilled his obligation to participate in the war, but after passing through the Jimen, his obligation to war was lifted. Duke Dao grabbed him to chat privately, and the wife came to the door, and the overlord could only swallow his anger and said.

Only in the slave society, the small section chief has far more power than the overlord. Because in the slave society, the slaves have no power, and all their rights have been murmured by others. The small section chief who represents their subordinates naturally regards their subordinates as slaves and does not need to take into account their face.

Zhao Zhiji pulled Zhao Wu like she was holding her pet, and she walked all the way to the Zhi family mansion. Zhao Wu, who was in the wrong, was thinking about how to coax the teachings, and the Zhi family mansion had arrived.

People are crowded with people in Zhiying Xun Ying's mansion. All major families in Jin State know that the deputy marshal's child is seriously ill. Generally speaking, if the family heirs are sick, the order of inheritance of the throne of Jin State will be affected. All major families dare not neglect and come to Zhigong to greet him together.

Zhijiaojiao did not pull Zhao Wu into the crowd, she complained all the way and led Zhao Wu to the backyard.

The backyard is quiet, there is no light in the house, and there is no glass in the Spring and Autumn Period. Most houses have narrow windows during the day, and it will be dim if the lights are not lighted in the house. Zhiying is sitting in the dark hall and crying when he sees Zhao Wu coming in. He asked weakly: Jiaojiao hasn't given you any trouble?

Zhao Wu Hanhan smiled and walked over to sit opposite Xun Yi. Zhi Jiaojiao was still nagging, and Xun Ying instructed: Go, look at your brother, alas, now we have less time to meet each other.

After hearing this, Jiaojiao immediately shed tears and said nothing. After thinking about it, she turned around and ran to her younger brother Zhishuo's house as her father's instructions.

After she left, Zhiying sighed: Jiaojiao can marry you, it's really the right way. I have observed carefully over the past few years that although your personality looks soft, in fact, your bones are harder than anyone else. The former monarch humiliated you many times. It seems that you never resisted or complained, but you dare to draw your sword against the monarch's favorite minister. Before you, even with the pride of San Shao, you dare not confront the monarch head-on.

You are such a person, soft on the outside and in the inside. You never stand up for it and fight for it yourself, but as long as the reason stands firm, no one can change your mind. Even when facing the king, you cannot make you surrender to the king. Jiaojiao is suitable for finding a husband like you. She is too impatient and pursues perfection too much, but there are so many perfect things in the world.

If she marry someone else, I am worried that her temper will cause trouble for the family. But marrying you is just right. For many years, Jiaojiao has been making noises and you never quarrel with her. But I have never seen you change your mind for Jiaojiao. Such a person is a real man.

Zhao Wu was very moved: Father-in-law, you have just returned from the battle. The only son is seriously ill. Now I am sitting in front of you. You don’t talk to me about the child’s illness, but you try your best to ease the relationship between me and Jiaojiao. Only a person like you is considered a man of a proud look. We don’t need to sit here and praise each other. It’s okay between me and Jiaojiao, so let’s talk about Zhishuo. How about Brother Zhi’s illness

Zhiyi sighed to the sky: People will die in the end, and some things may not be able to turn the world back. I cannot delay the major events of living people for the sake of dying people.

The concept of Zhiying was unique in the Spring and Autumn Period.

He is a wise man.

In a moment, Zhiying laid the foundation for the Zhi family for a century.

The Zhi family was all wise. After a while, Zhiji helped Zhishuo to his father's house. There was also a wet nurse with her. She led a two-year-old baby, who jumped around with her, and her eyes were very vivid.

Zhishuo pointed at the baby and gave a brief and clear order: Ying, kneel down

Zhiying didn't say anything, he sat aside to witness the visit.

The child was only two years old, but he did not have the usual enthusiasm of a two-year-old baby. When he heard his father's order, he knelt down solemnly and kowtowed to Zhao Wu.

Zhishuo pointed at the child and said: Wu, this is my son Zhiying. You also have a son, and his age is about the same as him. It seems that I can't stand this disease. Today, Zhiying greets you on a big week. Please treat this child as your child for my sake. My father is old and I am afraid he won't be able to see this child grow up.

When Zhiying appeared, Zhao Wu was jumped by the child's intelligence. He stared at this. Hazezi. He thought to himself: Could this be the culprit who was the last to take the throne, led other families to besiege the Zhao family, and eventually led the three families to divide Jin and end the Spring and Autumn Period?

No, based on age, the three families should be his son. Well. In the past, the Zhao family supported Shaw family, and eventually led to their family's dying. At this moment, should I support a former enemy?

Time cannot tolerate Zhao Wu hesitation, and under this situation, he cannot show any hesitation.

So, Zhao Wu gritted his teeth and thought: There have never been permanent ally in the struggle between families. My attitude towards the Zhi family is not important now, strength is the most important. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If my children and grandchildren still cannot maintain their strength to shock other families under my deliberate teachings. Then, even if the Zhi family does not annex the Zhao family, there will be other families who will be greedy and even the Han family, who is closest to us, will be imaginary.

Zhao Wu stretched out his hand and answered readily: Shuo, please rest assured, I will treat him like my own child.

Zhijiao immediately interrupted: Brother, it’s windy outside, what else do you have to explain? Let’s go back without us.

Zhishuo asked Zhiji to support her body and salute Zhao Wu solemnly. Zhao Wu accepted the gift of abandonment calmly.

After three, Zhishuo died of illness.

During the busy funeral at the Zhijia family, the king took the central army of Jin, the lower army and Xu's army to Qi.

It was Han Jue's turn to lead his troops to fight this time, but Han Jue was old and weak, and he wanted to retreat. He came to the door to beg Xun Ying to replace him. Xun Ying, who was always open to discussing, saw that Zhishuo's funeral was arranged by Zhao Wu, so he put state affairs first and led the army to fight with the sadness of losing his son.

This time, because it involves continuing to rescue Chen State, the lower army of Jin State was dispatched collectively. In addition, Xun Ying and five people were left in the Bazhengqing, and only Han Jue and Wei Xiu Zhao Wu were left in the middle of the country. At this time, the Xun family, the Xun family, came forward on behalf of Xun, and took over the task of burying Zhishuo. Because Zhishuo passed away in his prime, it was not considered a dead end, so the funeral could not be a complete set of noble funerals. The Xun family buried Zhishuo simply in accordance with the corresponding etiquette.

Facing Zhishuo's grave, Zhijiao sighed: It's just right that his father is not here, and he may not be able to see his younger brother buried so hasty.

Zhao Wu nodded: This era is the rule, what can we do?

Zhijiao shed tears: I am not accusing this rule, but I can’t help but feel sad when I see my younger brother lying there so shabby.

Zhao Wu persuaded: Let's go back.

Zhijiao cried: My brother handed the child to us, I can't bear to have a moment of scaring Dan to separate, but the Xun family picked up the old child Wu and the Xun family went out of Suocheng together. I will come back to see the child.

Zhao Wu interrupted Zhijiaojiao: This time, we don’t have to go back to Zhaocheng. The king has already rewarded me with Jiangli’s yard, and we live there.

Zhijiao shouted sternly: I heard that the house is stained with the blood of the former king on the steps, and it has not been cleaned yet. The Lord will reward you with this house, what do he want to do

Zhao Wu snorted coldly: I am not afraid of that dead ghost when I am alive, but also afraid of his ghost.

Zhijiao immediately smiled: That's right. When the king was alive, I often wanted to beat him up. The dear daughter beat the king and was unruly. Now he is dead. Beating his ghost is not a crime. When you say that, I'm looking forward to his ghost appearing.

Zhao Wu held Zhijiaojiao on the carriage with his hand. Zhijiao stepped on the carriage with one foot and remembered another thing: I heard that a few days ago, the king came to ask for Xu's troops and horses, saying that Xu's king had no guards, so he was not good at face. Is the face of Xu's king good? What does it matter to our Zhao family, why do you want to return the soldiers of Xu's soldiers to the unlucky guy who pointed at Xu's unlucky guy? How much effort did we take back the families of those soldiers of Xu? You are always too soft-hearted.

Zhao Wu continued to smile silly: Our reputation is not worth the price, even the king said that we detained Xu's army, which made Xu Jun very embarrassed. So, if he didn't give him face this time, I, Zhao, would be very embarrassed by the alliance.

Zhi Jiaojiao was nagging while getting in the car: Then he shouldn't have given him two hundred military vehicles, two hundred, all equipped with new weapons from my Zhao family. It's hard to say if the king of Lu didn't get so much Zhao's equipment.

Zhao Wu replied: What I gave him was the standard combat chariot under the Zhou system, that is, one combat chariot was equipped with twenty-five infantrymen. Now, an ordinary combat chariot in various countries is equipped with seventy-five soldiers. The 200 military chariots we gave Xu Jun. It seems that the number is large, in fact, the total strength is not as good as the other 70 military chariots.

Besides, the troops cannot be reduced anymore. A monarch participated in the alliance, and the troops were less than 100 chariots. For example, if the number of people was not enough to get the equipment, I was reluctant to give it to Xu Jun too many people. I could only upgrade the equipment. The families of those people were in my hands. Are you worried that they would not come back? So, equipping these Xu Jun is equivalent to upgrading the equipment for our own army. We will not suffer any loss. The only one who suffers is Xu Guodao.

Jiaojiao refuted: You are really not a Spring and Autumn army can act at will, even if their family is in your hands, Xu Guoguo asked them to drive to the original Xu Guoguo territory, would they resist the order?

It’s okay, Zhao Wu smiled very honestly: There are only a thousand sets of clothes and military weapons in total. No matter what, a thousand people are thrown on the battlefield, even a bubble will not arise. The war is getting bigger and bigger. No war is not a hundred thousand people at the level of 100,000 people, and one thousand people cannot play a big role. Hehe, when it comes to sending troops, I am still the prime minister of Xu. Xu Jun dispatched troops and generals, but I did not attach the documents to him. He could not transfer a soldier.

Zhijiaojiao sat down and immediately said: You have brought back so many people this time. Should we also expand the lord's armed forces, for example, how to expand to seven thousand people

Zhao Wu climbed into the car and shook his head: There will be no large-scale battles in the past few years, so the number of warriors should not be expanded. Let those young and middle-aged people go to farm and work. Taking this opportunity, we should show it.

Zhiji laughed in the car, her smile was very cold: I heard that you were planning to build a city for the vixen in your family, and I also heard that the king had already allowed you to build a city in the Jia family.

Zhao Wu replied lazily: No matter who the city belongs to, it is my Zhao family's city after all.

Zhijiao continues to sneer: What are you going to call this city Dancheng or Wanqingcheng

Just ask Zhao Wu, Handan, to answer.
To be continued...
