Zhao Jia suddenly returned to Handan, and this incident caught Zhao Yan off guard.

As early as the beginning of his succession, Zhao Yan wanted to summon Zhao Jia back to Handan, but was postponed by the other party on the grounds of serious illness.

At first, Zhao Yan was a little worried about Zhao Jia's health. After all, the other party was his own son, and he was the only one.

But after a long time, Zhao Yan also discovered that Zhao Jia was obviously pretending to be sick and was always on guard against him, so he didn't want to return to Handan.

Zhao Yan was angry, but gradually calmed down.

Although he was afraid that Zhao Jia had threatened his position, he also knew that both public and private, he could not completely break up with Zhao Jia, otherwise it would be harmful or profitable for Zhao State.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia was very low-key during this period. Not only did he send someone back to Handan to congratulate Zhao Yan on ascending the throne as king, Zhao Jia never made any objection even though Zhao Yan forced Lian Po to the State of Wei.

Zhao Jia's attitude also satisfied Zhao Yan.

Lian Po, who had no power in the court and the opposition, held a high position in Handan. With the land of Shenqi occupied by Zhao Jia, it was impossible for him to threaten Zhao Yan's throne.

It was precisely for this that Zhao Yan deliberately ignored Zhao Jia and allowed him to seize the territory of Shenqi.

Zhao Yan never thought that Zhao Jia would return at this time, nor did he expect that the other party would have the courage to return to Handan.

"Aren't he afraid of not being able to go back to Shinki's land?"

Zhao Yan frowned and thought, but said, "Call the young master to come and meet him!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan sorted out the crown on his head, sat majestic on the throne that only King Zhao could sit, and waited quietly.

"Son, pay homage to Father!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Gen, Zhao Jia slowly walked into the house and saw Zhao Yan sitting upright on a high position with a majestic look on his face. He respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

"Have your condition improved?"

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Jia who had grown up and wanted to show off his might, but when he thought that the other party was his only son, he sighed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia also had a little soft look on his serious face.

He knew that Zhao Yan asked this because he wanted to ease the long-term stalemate between father and son, and to release goodwill.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Zhao Yan lowered his head and said, "The child is already in good health. Thank you for your concern."

Zhao Yan nodded, then asked, "Didn't you send someone to congratulate me? Why did you come to Handan in person? The trip is so secret?"

Zhao Jia raised his head, stared at Zhao Yan with his eyes tightly, and said in a deep voice: "For Zhao Guoer!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Jia was going back to Handan.

"Try to say it!"

Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Geng, who was standing in the house with his sword in his hand, and the eunuch Lu Yong, who was standing by his head and listening quietly, and took a deep breath.

"Only the father and brother Zhao Geng can know about this matter!"

Zhao Yan frowned and felt suspicious, but remembered what Zhao Jia did over the years, no matter what means he used, the ending would be of great benefit to Zhao State, and immediately sighed slightly.

Since Zhao Qian's death, Zhao Yan has been deeply reflecting on his actions while grief.

Many times, Zhao Yan even secretly regrets that if he had been kind to Zhao Jia in the past, the father-son relationship would not have become like this, and Zhao Jia would have become his greatest help.

In fact, although Zhao Jia’s actions over the years have threatened Zhao Yan’s position, they have also made Zhao Yan recognize his son’s abilities.

Zhao Yan knew that Zhao Jia's existence was beneficial to Zhao State without any disadvantages.

It was precisely for this that he forced Lian Po to the State of Wei and cut off the possibility of Zhao Jia threatening his throne that Zhao Yan would abide by Zhao Jia's separatist territory of Shen Qi.

At first, Zhao Yan summoned Zhao Jia to return to Handan. Although he wanted to seize the land of Shen Qi, he also wanted to make him the crown prince and become his right-hand man.

Now that Zhao Jia is taking a huge risk to return to Handan, there are still such confidential matters that need to be reported, which is definitely not a trivial matter.

"Get out!"

Zhao Yan waved his hand, and after Lu Yong bowed his head and bowed, he slowly left the door.

Zhao Geng also walked to the door and shouted to the soldiers outside the door: "All ten feet away from this place, and no one should be allowed to get close to the house until he received the order!"

Everyone agreed.

In this way, only Zhao Yan, Zhao Jia and Zhao Geng were left in the house.

Zhao Geng pressed the sword to help Zhao Yan, looking at the unarmed Zhao Jia with a little vigilant.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia didn't care, so he took out a stack of letters from his arms, then raised his hands in front of him and said, "Father, it's better to look at these letters first."

Zhao Yan frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What is the content in the letter?"

Zhao Jia still lowered his head and said, "You will know at first glance!"

Zhao Yan signaled Zhao Geng to bring the letter up, and looked through the letter curiously, but the more he looked, the ugly his face became.

Finally, he shouted at Zhao Jia: "Can you know what the crime is to frame the important officials in the court!"

Zhao Jia raised his head and said, "Every sentence in the letter is true. Whether the matter is true or not, as long as the father wants to investigate, it will not be difficult to get the truth."

"What's more, even if you give your son and ministers a bold person, you won't dare to frame so many important officials in the court."

"Although Zhao State is now showing signs of revival, Qin will not die of my desire to destroy me. There are many officials and ministers in the court who seem to be the country and the king, but they have ulterior motives."

"Have your father discovered that these ministers who received bribes from Qin and colluded with Qin are all advocates with Qin?"

Zhao Yan frowned and recalled the past of those people mentioned in the letter. He really found that they were mostly willing to defend Qin and strongly advocated forming an alliance with Qin.

"Click!"

Zhao Yan held the letter tightly with his right hand, and wrinkled the originally flat letter together, his face becoming a little hideous and distorted.

"I trust Han Cang so much. That guy actually accepted so many bribes from Qin State, it's damn!"

Guo Kai and Han Cang were the first to defect to Zhao Yan. At that time, Zhao Yan had just become the crown prince. The two of them have tried their best to protect Zhao Yan over the years, so Zhao Yan trusted them very much.

If Zhao Jia had not appeared, Guo Kai would not only not die, but would also become the prime minister of Zhao after Zhao Yan inherited the throne.

Due to Zhao Jia's reasons, Guo Kai was killed, and Zhao Yan poured his favor and trust on Han Cang.

Although he had known that Han Cang had been greedy for money for a long time, he did not care about it. He felt that as long as Han Cang was loyal to him, some shortcomings would not only be shortcomings, but also advantages.

Because the king does not like the subjects who are too perfect, but instead thinks that the subjects who are flawed and weak are easy to control.

This is why even some wise and wise monarchs in all dynasties have used villains.

Out of trust in Han Cang, Zhao Yan even planned to make Han Cang the Prime Minister soon, so that he could share rights and wealth with him.

Zhao Yan did not expect that his trust and respect would be betrayal and infidelity.

"Zhao Gen, please send people to arrest these people quickly. If you find out that they really have collusion with Qin, you will never let it go!"

Zhao Yan still trusts Zhao Jia's intelligence capabilities very much.

When he saw the long list of letters, he felt boundless fear.

He never thought that there were so many people above the Zhao court and Qin court, so he became angry and wanted to cleanse the court.

Although Zhao Yan sometimes seems rather stupid, he also knows the right and wrong, and knows that the country of Zhao is his foundation.

Now that the roots are half broken, how can Zhao Yan tolerate it?

"My father must not!"

However, at this moment, Zhao Jia spoke out to stop him.

Zhao Yan frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "As the saying goes, there will be no fish when the water is clear. Although these people colluded with Qin and accepted a lot of bribes from Qin, they only wanted to betray Zhao. Moreover, the father had just inherited the throne and needed these people to help manage Zhao."

"After a long time of secret investigation, my son found out the details of these people. If the father beat them all in one go, it would not only cause turmoil in the court, but also make it difficult to guarantee that the newly promoted people would not be bribed and corrupted by the Qin State's detailed work."

"In the eyes of my son, the father could know the details of these people in his heart, but he could pretend not to know on the surface."

"The Father can do this."

Zhao Jia kept telling the views he had already thought of, and Zhao Yan and Zhao Geng were all flickering in his eyes.

"This will not only prevent Zhao's interests from being infringed upon, but also pass on the wrong information to Qin through these people. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Zhao Yan looked at his son deeply, but felt speechless.

At the same time, his fear of Zhao Jia became even deeper.

Zhao Jia seemed to see what Zhao Yan was thinking, and said with his head held high and his chest raised: "Whether the father and the son minister hope that the State of Zhao can become stronger. If the father feels that the son minister has cedeed the land and becomes independent, threatening the interests of the State of Zhao, the son minister is willing to offer Shenqi's land with both hands."

"My son wishes Zhao's country to be prosperous and strong, and the heaven and earth can be seen!"

"As long as Zhao State can be strong, no matter whether the father or other royal family inherited the throne, the sons will not care!"

After saying that, Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Yan calmly, and it was the first time that the father and son looked at each other in this way.
