Chapter 62 The fourth quarter, the ambition is wrong and the situation is steep

Zhao Yong began to act decisively.This has always been his nature, he is not sure what to do, once he makes a plan, he will implement it without fear, and will never turn back even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers.When twilight fell that day, he got into a caravan with curtains on all sides and went straight to Feiyi's mansion. Fei Yi, who was already gray-haired, didn't seem to be surprised. He just welcomed King Zhao into the mansion and sat down solemnly. Put out a sentence: "If you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin, you must revise the law internally and expand the country by six thousand miles!"

"The old minister would like to hear about my king's careful policy. How to fix the law? How to expand the six thousand miles?" Fei Yi knew that King Zhao had made a plan, so he asked first. "The internal revision of the law is to implement the second reform, just like the Qin State, abolishing the fiefdoms and consolidating the national power!" Taking a long breath, the corner of Fei Yi's mouth twitched: "Where's Tuo Di?" "Destroy the Yan Kingdom in the north, destroy Zhongshan in the west, and occupy the Yinshan Mobei for three thousand miles!" Zhao Yong resolutely.

"Which step to take first?" "Improve the law first." Zhao Yong clapped the case with great emotion, "If the law is revised but it is on the right path, you will assist the prince to implement the new law. I will immediately go north to expand the army and expand the land. In another ten years, the state of Zhao will stand shoulder to shoulder with the state of Qin and compete in the Central Plains. Decisive battle high and low!" Fei Yi was silent for a long time.Zhao Yongda is puzzled, Fei Yi, is there anything wrong with my plan?Fei Yichang hissed, and suddenly bowed down with a sob, the old minister apologized!Zhao Yong was shocked, he quickly supported Fei Yi, what happened?Speak slowly, come on, sit down, don't worry.After Fei Yi entered the seat, he told Zhao Yong about a rather strange change in the court situation, Zhao Yong was stunned.

It turned out that ever since Fei Yi served as Zuo Si, picketing officials has become the responsibility.For more than 20 years, no matter what position Fei Yi holds concurrently, he has never slackened his duties to Zuo Si.In particular, Zhao Yong often patrols and fights abroad, and Fei Yi pays more attention to the news in the country.Zhao Guo has always had a tradition of mutiny, even Fei Yi himself has participated in it, and knows the secrets of it, so he has placed loyal eyeliner in various ways in the mansions of the powerful officials early on, and secretly reported to him the abnormal movements of the powerful officials at any time.Knowing that such practices are inappropriate, Fei Yi set three laws and regulations for the eyeliners: first, they are not allowed to spy on the privacy of the minister's dormitory except for matters designated by him and military affairs; First, receive an official salary to handle state affairs, but those who seek selfishness and make false accusations will be executed immediately; third, any secret report can only be handed over to him through the channels designated by him, and must not be leaked to anyone!Because of his carefulness and thoroughness, there were no mistakes in the past twenty years, and there was no abnormality among the powerful officials, so Fei Yi gradually became more at ease.

But when Feiyi was about to withdraw these personnel, a secret report suddenly came from the mansion of the old general Niu Zan in Pingcheng: a secret letter appeared in Niu Zan's study, praising Niu Zan for his righteousness and integrity, and he will be a hero for Yasukuni.Three days later, another secret report came: the previous book was secretly sent by Prince Zhao Zhang, and it had already been sent to Pingcheng as an express feather book.Soon, a secret report came from the mansion of Prince Fu Zhouyu: In three consecutive months, Zhou Rong had 16 meetings with the prince in the study until the fourth watch.Just when Fei Yi's whole body was tense, a secret report from the Prince's Mansion came: Prince Zhao Zhang had secret correspondence with at least five side generals, the contents of which were unknown.But at this time, Fei Yi is already the main minister who assists the prince in handling state affairs in Handan, and Zhao Wang is just chasing Lin Hu's journey of thousands of miles, so Fei Yi decides not to report to Zhao Wang for the time being.The fundamental reason for this is that all the generals of the frontier army are in battle, and the Handan defenders are led by Fei Yi; leaving the frontier army and the Beijing army, a small number of private soldiers from the fiefdoms of powerful ministers will enter Handan, and there is no special king. If the imperial edict is ordered, Fei Yi can be killed immediately.In this situation, even if the conspiracy is true, it will be impossible to do it for a year or so.

However, Zhao Yong fought for two consecutive years, returned to Handan to deal with urgent affairs, and immediately went north to Qin State, and this matter was shelved in Feiyi's secret room for three years.On the second day after Zhao Wang returned to Handan this time, another secret report came out from the Prince's Mansion: the three generals Niu Zan of Pingcheng had written back to the prince, the content of which was unknown, and the prince was very excited.After receiving the report, Fei Yi immediately went to the Prince's Mansion to check for signs under the pretext of discussing state affairs.

The crown prince Zhao Zhang was very happy. After agreeing on a few things, he said enthusiastically: "Dare to ask Xiangguo, but the father is going north again?" "The old minister is only assisting the government, not the prime minister, so the prince should be careful." Fei Yi's black face did not show the slightest smile. The prince sighed: "Father is so confused! With your great achievements, you should have been a minister of the country long ago. However, he spends every year in the army and has no time to manage the state affairs. What should we do in the long run?"

"If the prince has the heart to seek the country, he should make a statement to the king of Zhao." Fei Yi looked solemn, "The king of Zhao has insight into the candle, and he is definitely not a fatuous king. He will deal with it properly. Now that the prince is the ruler of the country, he is handing over the state affairs to the prince. It’s no different from father and son sharing the same king.” "Father and son are the same king?" The crown prince smiled teasingly, "Zhao Zhang is nothing more than a clay figurine, which is just for display by others. If Xiangguo really doesn't know it, he will go in? Or is it perfunctory for me?"

"The old minister is dull, he only knows how to assist the prince in dealing with state affairs, and never thinks about other matters." Fei Yi saw that the prince's intentions were clear, and he was getting deeper and deeper in talking, so he left with an excuse. Fei Yi should have gone to King Zhao immediately to inform him of this matter, but he knew that King Zhao must be planning a big event if he stays behind closed doors, so he was inconvenient to suddenly disturb King Zhao's mind.According to the usual practice, King Zhao would come to Fei Yi to discuss before making any big moves, and Fei Yi has been forbearing until today.After finishing all this, Fei Yi finally said: "If my king hadn't said that he would go north to expand land, the old minister might have to look for opportunities to talk about it. The matter has come to this point, and the old minister has the courage to say: My king has been in the army for many years and has no time to take care of state affairs. If you have a big picture, you should manage the country first.”

Zhao Yong's face was so gloomy that it was frightening. He was silent for a long time, but he let out a heavy sigh, and slammed his fist on the table, then suddenly got up and slammed it out with big strides.Fei Yi clearly saw the glint of tears in Zhao Yong's eyes, and couldn't help shaking his heart suddenly. With Zhao Yong's stamina, if he couldn't act prudently, the Zhao country would be in chaos immediately, and it would be unknown if it was not destroyed!With this in mind, Fei Yi got up and rushed out: "Quick! Prepare your car and enter the palace!" After entering the palace, Fei Yi didn't ask to see him, but stood solemnly like a nail in the corridor of the palace's study.He made up his mind: as long as King Zhao sends out a military talisman, he will fight to the death to stop it!No matter how long he guards the marquis, he will be firmly nailed here and will never leave half a step.Seeing Zhao Yong's heavy pacing figure reflected on the white cloth of the study window, stopping to let out a long sigh from time to time, Fei Yi couldn't help crying.Without Zhao Yong, would Zhao Guo be where he is today?Even with Zhao Yong's courage, Fei Yi is determined to be loyal to King Zhao forever, and will never allow any rebellious ministers and thieves to plot rebellion, and will never allow Zhao Guo to rebel again!

Gradually, the sky finally dawned.Fei Yi heard the heavy door of the study bang open, and familiar footsteps came out.Without saying a word, Zhao Yong pulled Fei Yi up and went into the study.An hour later, the chief servant hurried out of the study and secretly summoned Guo Shiling.It was not until lunch time that Fei Yi and Guo Shiling hurried out of the palace study. Ten days later, the Handan Palace held a grand meeting. For the court meeting, all the ministers are ordered to gather for the meeting.In a year, there are only three or two big court meetings, usually once in the beginning of spring to start farming, and once at the end of the year for general affairs.In ordinary days, the state affairs are dealt with by the prime minister in consultation with several important ministers and reported to the king, or the king's motion is handed over to the ministers for handling.The Warring States Period was a time of great contention, and state affairs should be united and effective, otherwise it would be impossible to unite the national strength and compete in the world.At that time, the king, the prime minister, and the general supported the state with three pillars, each of which had great power. Far from the increasingly centralized power of the kings in later generations, the way of handling state affairs also had a great impact on the "daily decisions of the kings" of later generations. difference.In short, the goal of power is to achieve actual results, not to consolidate the status of the throne and the respective positions of powerful ministers.On the day of the court meeting, the county magistrates and generals of the frontier army who were not in the capital had to rush back, and whenever the court meeting was held, there must be major decisions to be made, and there were very few virtual meetings such as ceremonial celebrations.This court meeting was just when King Zhao returned from Handan for half a year. Almost all the ministers thought of the same thing - Zhao Guo must go south to the Central Plains to compete with Qin Guo. This day is Wushen Day, which is the first day of May in the twenty-seventh year of King Zhao Wuling's accession to the throne. Handan Royal Palace is not big, and more than one hundred tables are divided into east and west sides in the main hall, and each side has three rows, which makes it appear full.Officials should note that although the relationship between monarch and ministers at that time was also well-mannered, it was far from the increasingly distorted master-slave or even master-slave relationship in later generations.Ministers discuss matters and have seats at any time.The so-called court meeting is not about standing in a few rows, nor is it about bowing three times and knocking down mountains and shouting long live. It is about sitting in awe and speaking frankly. I am afraid it is more solemn than today's high-level meeting. "King Zhao goes to the palace—!" Following the servant's long announcement, the sound of solid footsteps came pounding in, reverberating, and the minister's eyes lit up!Today, Zhao Yong is wearing Hufu military uniform, a red short cloak, a brown leather armor, a pair of high-waisted combat boots, a cowhide helmet with a red pheasant feather unique to the commander of the army, and a knight's sword in his right hand. The sword is really a general who is about to go out.Although the state of Zhao is dressed in black clothes, the monarch has never been so fully dressed in military attire, and the ministers can't help being excited! "See King Zhao!" All the ministers in the hall clasped their hands together and saluted in a neat salute. "Ministers," Zhao Yong's grey-haired black face was extremely dignified, and he did not take a seat in front of the spacious king's table on the sixth-level high-level table. It is neither gathering to discuss the northward expedition, nor discussing the southward quest, but to lay the foundation of the country." After the two sentences were finished, he waved his hand, "The censor proclaimed the imperial edict." The imperial censor at the back of the throne strode forward a few steps, stood on the side of the king's steps, and unfolded a roll of bamboo slips, and a deep voice echoed in the hall: "The king ordered a special edict: Prince Zhao Zhang, the talent is unreasonable. Prince Zhao He, who is both talented and civil and military, has a good character, immediately became a prince, and will be crowned king after three months; the king abdicates and takes the title of master father. He will be in charge of the six armies to expand the territory within ten years and rule The important affairs of the military and the state; Shangqing Feiyi, who has extraordinary talents, is loyal to the country, and immediately promoted to the founding minister of the country, in charge of the state affairs, and assisting the new Zhao Wang to rule the country. The 27th year of Zhao Wangyong's Wushen Day in May. The end of the edict——! " The hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the ministers even forgot the echo of the imperial edict of etiquette. Everyone was astonished, and they all stared at King Zhao with unbelievable expressions!In the final analysis, the events of deposing the crown prince, setting up a new crown prince, the abdication of the king, and the new founding prime minister are all too big, and any one of them is enough to shake the government and the public. The two unimaginable changes of claiming to be the master but taking charge of the army and ruling the country?What's more, the courtiers didn't know anything about such a major plan to fundamentally change the power of the court. There is only one possibility for such a situation, that is, there must be a sudden accident in the palace center!Otherwise, with Zhao Yong's hero Mingrui, there would be no such abrupt decision.But no matter what you think about it, it is difficult for anyone to understand it for a while, and who dares to speak easily when you are ignorant? Zhao Yong didn't speak, and just leaned on the knight's sword and nailed it in front of the throne. "King Zhao, the old minister has something to say!" An old voice suddenly buzzed, but it was the crown prince Fu Zhouqi who stood up tremblingly, his snow-white head trembling so pale that his hair was scattered on his shoulders. "Say." Zhao Yong only said one word. "The imperial edict of King Zhao is so stupid!" Old Zhou Yu made the first sentence, and then he sighed with emotion, "The prince is generous and prudent when he is in charge of the country, and he is diligent in everything. The old minister is by his side every day, only to see him reciting books and governing , I don’t see that it is desolate and detrimental to the country. Even though my king is sharp and brave, he should still govern impartially, and he deserves to be punished for his crimes. The throne and heirs are all the state’s public weapons, although the king of a country cannot be rude with personal feelings! Now my king suddenly issued an edict To depose the crown prince, to commit a crime without knowing it, to punish him without teaching, how can he subdue the hearts of the government and the people..." The anger of those words was unbearable, and the old Zhou Bing suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell limply on the desk! Even so, there was no movement in the hall, and the ministers were still staring at the chilling king with a sword in his hand.Zhao Yong only said a few words about the imperial doctor's treatment, and then suddenly shouted: "Zhao Zhang is here!" The crown prince Zhao Zhang is the heir of the throne, and the seat case is set at the bottom left of the king's steps, six steps away from the minister's seat. When the ground shouted, Zhao Zhang was already in cold sweat and clenched his teeth, and suddenly heard his father yelling loudly, he couldn't help but stood up in a jerk, and walked to the thick red felt under the king's steps. "Zhao Zhang, you have written frequently with many side generals, is there such a thing?" "Yes." Suddenly, Zhao Zhang looked calm. "Talking with Zhou Yu often all night in secret, but learning is hard to argue?" "no." "Have you ever used the position of prime minister to lure ministers?" "...Yes." Zhao Zhang trembled suddenly, but finally answered with a steady mind. "Ministers, have you heard this?" Zhao Yong sneered, and his tone suddenly became sharp, "As the crown prince, succession is just around the corner. In this situation, it is unimaginable to have an evil heart if you don't think about the country together! For a hundred years, Zhao's internal and external troubles are hard to breathe, but there is a mutiny, which time is not the country's chaos and the people's chaos? After all, Zhao Yong takes this throne lightly! But who can make Zhao go out of the world to compete in the Central Plains and the strong Qin? Entering the throne, Zhao Yong will be convinced, and all the ministers are the same! King Yan can abdicate his son, so Zhao Yong can't do it? However, Bingguo must plan uprightly, and conspiracy will lead to chaos. Zhao Yong can't do it even if he dies. Same flow!" Just as the words fell to the point, Zhao Yong's knight's sword came out of its sheath, and with a flash of cold light, a corner of the nine-inch thick king's case fell off!Zhao Yong withdrew his saber and took a long breath, "After three months, Zhao Yong will no longer be the King of Zhao. Why is this so? It's not that Zhao Yong insisted on his own ambition to invite the world's name, but he really wanted to reduce the cumbersome state affairs. Handed over to Mingjun Zhengchen, Zhao Yong is only a general, conquering the world, taking risks for Zhao's great cause, even though he will die. Zhao Zhang's trip caused chaos for no reason, and he can't eradicate the troubles unless he makes a decisive decision! Although Zhao He is young, he is both civil and military. Tong, act properly, ascend to the throne early, and have you and other upright veterans assisting you, you can avoid chaos in Zhao Guo's rebirth. This is the reason for today's decision. You don't need to discuss it, but just do your duty." Although the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, they still haven't figured out their own clues from this thunderbolt and lightning-like change, and they are still dazed. Who can easily stand up and discuss it?After hearing the last sentence, they all looked left and right and stood up, ready to leave the court.At this moment, he suddenly shouted: "The king of Zhao is not fair——! The old minister has something to say!" All the ministers suddenly looked back, and it was Niu Zan, a Pingcheng veteran who staggered out from the back row. "My king won't listen!" Zhao Yong shouted, turned around suddenly and smashed out with big strides. At this time, King Zhao Wuling's authority was at its peak, and the whole country was worshiped as a god, and even in ordinary times, Zhao Yong had never acted so arbitrarily. After observing, no one wanted to be serious with King Zhao at this time. Seeing King Zhao leave angrily at this time, they also left the palace one after another.In the empty hall, only Niu Zan and the other generals stood there dumbfounded. "Let's go! Go back to Pingcheng! There is always time for me to talk!" Lao Niu Zan waved his hand, and hurried away with a few generals. After leaving the main hall, the irritable and angry Zhao Yong felt that he had nowhere to go.Usual practice: After the court meeting, there is the study room, and immediately start to deal with the urgent affairs decided by the court meeting.Today's major events should be dealt with immediately one by one, not to mention anything else, how to deal with the abolished prince Zhao Zhang is the first priority that he has to deal with personally.However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to enter the study at all, and he strode hurriedly into the poplar grove deep in the palace with his knight sword in hand.The aspen forest in May is pruned. The straight and straight white trunks support the simple and thick green leaves, which are groups of mighty and tall soldiers. The leaves flapping against the wind are the hunting flags of the army.Every time he walks into this majestic poplar forest, Zhao Yong will see the purge army formation on the boundless prairie before his eyes, and his manic mood will gradually calm down, until he walks through the large poplar forest to the sparkling lake , his thoughts have been flying far away. Zhao Yong never imagined that the most despicable palace change could happen to his father and son. Speaking of which, Zhao Yong only had two wives, one queen and one concubine.It is said that there are two wives because the former queen died, and the latter concubine became the queen, and Zhao Yong has no concubine since then.Among the monarchs of the Warring States Period, such as Zhao Yong, who is not interested in concubines, is probably comparable to Qin Xiaogong.Zhou Ritual Customization: Son of Heaven six daughters (empress, wife, wife, concubine, wife, concubine), dukes and princes four daughters (wife, wife, wife, concubine), official one wife and two concubines.Despite such customization, marriage was also regarded as the first of human relations by the ancients, but precisely on this most important matter, etiquette has never really played a role. From the emperor to the common people, the marriage etiquette is always the most flexible. In fact, it is still one thing that cannot be strictly regulated.In the final analysis, the most unregulated ones are the emperors and princes, and the Warring States period is the kings, big and small.The old Mozi once rebuked angrily that today’s rulers arrest more than a thousand women in the harem of a big country, and hundreds of women in a small country. As a result, many men in the world have no wives, and many women in the world have no husbands. Men and women lose their time and the population is sparse!In the final analysis, how many women the king can occupy mostly depends on the king's personal temperament and integrity, and is rarely restricted by etiquette.Even in the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the etiquette was strict, it was common for the emperor to break through the etiquette system and have more concubines.In the Warring States period, rituals collapsed and music was broken, and the relationship between men and women was deeply involved in the rules of great competition. There was no distinction between kings and common people. The strong had many wives and the weak were widowed.At this time, the women in the king's harem cannot be restricted. King Wei Hui, King Huai of Chu, and King Qi Min were all kings who detained more than a thousand women in their harem. Zhao Yong was an exception.In the fifth year of his accession to the throne, he met with King Xuanhui of Han in Hanoi. In order to form an alliance with the three Jins and give Zhao a stable reform, he married the princess of Korea as his queen.Two years later, the Korean princess gave birth to a son for him, Prince Zhaozhang.Since then, the Korean princess has never been happy again.At that time, Zhao Yong was busy day and night with reforming the law and governing the government, and most of his meals and lodgings were in the study, and he had few pleasures with this princess in London for a year.This princess is also dignified and virtuous, and never disturbs his mind.Occasionally, on cold nights, Zhao Yong would actually sit in the study, neither in the mood to go back to the bedroom to practice human relations, nor in the mood to mess with the slim maids around him.After a long time, Zhao Yong thought that he was born with a "cooler", so he no longer thought about it, and only devoted himself to state affairs day and night. In the sixteenth year of his accession to the throne, the reforms achieved great results, and Zhao Yong went north to the Great Wall to patrol the border.It was the spring day when the grass was growing and the birds were flying. Zhao Yong rode his horse on the grassland outside the Great Wall for half a day, and the cavalry guards camped for a picnic. A white cloud floated slowly towards him from the blue sky, and the touching singing voice was so clear--the beauty is glamorous, the beauty is like a scorpion, the three lives are destined, and there is no one to win!Zhao Yong suddenly turned over and sat up, it turned out to be Nan Keyimeng, rubbed his eyes and stood up, but the woman's beautiful face seemed to be in front of his eyes, and the intoxicating singing voice was so clearly branded in his heart!Zhao Yong repeatedly chanted the lyrics of the girl in the dream, and couldn't help muttering to himself, it's so weird!My cooler also has such a dream?Could it be God's will? "Listen! Someone is singing!" shouted the guarding knights. But I can see the green hills in the distance, the green grass waves rolling with the wind under the blue sky and white clouds, the cattle and sheep appearing and disappearing in the grass flow, and the beautiful and melodious singing of a girl is faintly heard between the grass waves, cattle and sheep: A girl in red appears and disappears in the grass waves, waving a long whip in her hand, cattle and sheep are dotted around, and the singing is accompanied by a few sheep and cows from time to time, and a tall shepherd dog following the girl looks like that Supple and carefree, it is always a beautiful and attractive picture.Zhao Yong remembered very clearly that his heart was pounding at that moment.Just now in the dream, the singing in front of me, could it really be God's will?In a daze, Zhao Yong walked over involuntarily.A snow-white lamb suddenly jumped towards him from the grass waves, screaming "bleat".The girl in red chased out from the grass waves, her figure was lithe, and she called softly, "Bai Lingzi, don't lose you."Zhao Yong leaned over and picked up the white fluffy lamb, heh, Bai Lingzi, what a beautiful name!The girl in red smiled softly, Bai Lingzi only calls out when she sees a hero, she has spirituality.The girl is happy and innocent, and her voice is mellow and sweet with strong Wu dialect.what is your name?girl.When Zhao Yong asked a question, his face turned red for the first time.The girl raised her face and innocently faced Zhao Yong. My name is Meng Yao, and my parents and neighbors call me Wu Wa. What about you?I?Zhao Yong was startled, and suddenly blurted out, my name is Big Beard!The girl giggled and bent over, yo, bearded?Like my Bai Lingzi, the bearded man is still blushing and shy.Zhao Yong laughed, I am really Bai Lingzi.The girl smiled ignorantly, um, then I have to hug you every day?Suddenly, Zhao Yong's heart was moved, but he laughed and said, girl, are you a Huren Zhaoren?Where are the parents' names?The girl smiled mischievously, she was not a Hu, nor a Zhao, but a Zhao and Wu.Ah, Zhao Guowu people!Zhao Yong's heart brightened, your father's name is Wu Guang, right?The beard is smart and smart, do you know Dad?The girl's eyes widened in surprise.Zhao Yong smiled, stretched out his hand and made a silly gesture, girl, would you like to visit my tent?No, you are a barbarian with a big beard, killing sheep.The girl narrowed her eyes.Zhao Yong quickly shook his head, no, no, I am Zhao Ren with a beard, and I will not kill sheep!Then you take me back to Pingcheng?Dad is in Pingcheng.Zhao Yong smiled, I'm going back to Pingcheng, girl let's go.Zhao Yong took the girl's little hand, and the little white sheep and the shepherd dog obediently followed the girl and walked towards the tent. Zhao Yong remembered clearly that as soon as he entered the tent that day, he ordered the whole roasted sheep on the iron rack to be put away, and only the guard knights were allowed to bury the pot and start cooking.After eating, it was already dusk, and I heard the faint sound of thunder galloping deep in the grassland, and the cavalry general said "turn off the fire!" The knights extinguished the bonfire and flew on their horses.Zhao Yong wrapped the girl in furs and flew onto the horse's back, then gave an order, ten riders drive cattle and sheep to Pingcheng first, and the rest follow me to lead Hu Qi away!Taking the lead, the cavalry galloped southward in the darkness like a hurricane.What he will never forget is that the girl in his arms kissed him softly on the face, the beard is so nice!I didn't lose my Bai Lingzi. At that moment, Zhao Yong's courage doubled, and he suddenly felt that he would always be the protector of this girl. Afterwards, of course, everything went well.Wu Guang is the Prime Minister of Pingcheng, and the youngest daughter is very happy to be the king's wife.What's more, Zhao Yong's courtiers all knew that Zhao Yong was not a sensual monarch, so it was already incredible that he could take the initiative to propose marriage to his courtiers.All of a sudden, the acquaintances congratulated Wu Guang and his wife one after another, and asked with a smile how miraculous this little Wu baby is, to capture Zhao Yong, who has never been close to women.Wu Guang and his wife just laughed and didn't answer. Wu Guang and his wife were originally businessmen in the water town of Wu State. Later, they did business with Hu people in the northern grasslands, but they were unable to go south due to the Central Plains War, so they were stranded in Zhao State.Wu Guang was tactful and talented, so he was recommended by General Niu Zan of Pingcheng as Prime Minister of Pingcheng.In the second year of being Prime Minister Pingcheng, Wu Guang gave birth to a daughter named Meng Yao.Little Meng Yao is clever and innocent, and has a good reputation since he was young.Nowadays, it is customary in the world, and those who are beautiful and beautiful are called "baby", that is, "Gui" (named jade) in female middle school.At that time, Wu Guojian had the "Guanwa Palace", which was a place dedicated to searching for beauties.As a result of the custom, the officials and colleagues all called Xiao Mengyao "Wu Wa".Little Wuwa is beautiful and intelligent, but she is innocent and simple, and Wu Nong's soft language is even more charming, whether she is coquettish or angry. Wu Guang and his wife regard it as a treasure but don't know how to teach them, so they let her go at ease all day Loose.However, this little Wu Wa doesn't like the female worker Sangma, but she likes to graze on the grassland all day long in a Hu skirt. She didn't expect to have such an adventure.When the news spread, all the soldiers and civilians in Pingcheng sighed with emotion, calling it God's will. Suddenly more than ten years later, Zhao Yong can still vividly remember the scene of Wu Wa entering the palace for the first time. On that day, Wu Wa danced and laughed lightly around Zhao Yong, looked at the tall and magnificent palace in amazement and innocently, and kept shouting in surprise, wow!gorgeous!Beard, do you live here?Zhao Yong nodded and smiled, you live here too, are you happy?I, I'm afraid.Wu Wa's bright smile suddenly cast a shadow.afraid?What are you afraid of?Zhao Yong smiled.There are no mountains, no water, no grasslands, and no sheep.There was a hint of melancholy on Wu Wa's innocent face.Zhao Yong laughed loudly, don't be afraid, there will be mountains and rivers, and there will be sheep in the grassland!Wu Wa was so happy that she hung herself on his neck, laughing so hard that there were tears in her eyes.At this moment, the two ranks of soldiers in front of the Great Political Affairs Hall shouted loudly, See Your Majesty!Wu Wa snuggled up to Zhao Yong in horror and trembled slightly, with a big beard, is your name Jun Shang?Zhao Yong turned around and waved, don't set up soldiers here in the future!Turning around, he gently stroked Wu Wa's beautiful long hair, don't be afraid, he hugged her tightly and strode in.For a moment, the two ranks of soldiers were dumbfounded! After properly arranging Wu Wa in the dormitory, Zhao Yong continued to be busy in the study outside.In the middle of the night, Zhao Yong's eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of cold and delicate hands.So cold!Zhao Yong turned around and hugged Wu Wa, why is his body so cold?Wu Wa smiled mischievously, and her father said that Wu Wa had been frozen on the grassland for three days and three nights.Zhao Yong gently stroked her neck and shoulders.She trembled slightly like a leaf.Little Wu Wa, do you know?Three years later, when you are sixteen years old, the big beard will drive away all your coolness.No, tonight.Wu Wa smiled coquettishly, her beard was like a coal ball.Zhao Yong smiled, okay, it's tonight.After finishing speaking, he put down the book case and carried Wu Wa into the dormitory. The naked girl hugged the cold girl and fell asleep until the sun was high. In this way, Zhao Yong was like this every night, holding Wu Wa and sleeping naked for three years. It wasn't until Wu Wa grew into a slim sixteen-year-old girl that she really became his bride. Ever since Wu Wa became a bride, Zhao Yong, who thought he was "cold", was surprised to find that he was so brave and so hungry and thirsty!More than a year before Wu Wa gave birth, even if he went north to patrol the border, Zhao Yong had to take this intelligent and lovely little wife with him, completely ignoring what the accompanying ministers and soldiers thought.Fei Yi once persuaded him not to take the imperial concubine on a tour in a circumstantial way, lest he get sick by sleeping in the open.Zhao Yong laughed boldly, why do you say so much?It's so easy to taste the taste of a good woman, can you let it go?Fei Yi blushed and was speechless. Following Zhao Guo's ruling and opposition horseback riding and shooting in Hufu, Wu Wa gave birth to a son in the second year. Zhao Yong was so happy that he didn't know what to do, so he casually named his son Zhao He.That is, in that year, the Korean princess died of the wind and cold.Zhao Yong immediately made Wu Wa, who was just eighteen years old, his queen. As long as he was in Handan, he would always stay with their mother and son.Love the house and Wu, Zhao Yong loves this little son so much that he often behaves in a panic, hugging his son and rubbing the stubble randomly, Xiao Zhao He is always crying and running away when he sees him, making Wu Wa giggle uncontrollably stop.Strange to say, Zhao Yong always wanted to have more sons, but Wu Wa, just like Han Nu, gave birth to a son and then stopped being happy forever.As a result, Zhao Yong had only two wives and two sons. Since Wu Wa was born, Zhao Yongcai believed that there are really good women in the world who can make heroes and warriors fight for their lives, and there are good women who can make kings neglect their country.If Zhao Yong was not a king, he might have worked hard for the beauty.However, Zhao Yong is already the king of the country, but he believes that he will never neglect the country because of beauty. Now, dethroning Zhao Zhang and establishing Zhao He, is it a mistake because of a beautiful wife?Is the eldest son Zhao Zhang really unworthy?Is the second son Zhao He really capable?Eight-year-old Zhao He is the crown prince, and three months later he will be the new king of Zhao. In all fairness, is there really no infatuation that loves Wu Wa?No!Really not!Zhao Zhang has confessed to his misdeeds, how can he be the prince in charge of the country again?wait!If Zhao Zhang's crime is indeed confirmed, why do you insist on not listening to the old general Niu Zan's rebuttal?When the hall lost his composure, did you, Zhao Yong, really have no fear of being cleared of Zhao Zhang's guilt?Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, the imperial edict has been issued, the court meeting has already been held, the government and the public know all about it, why are you still so entangled?Don't you hear that "Wang's speech is like silk, and its output is like fiber"?The king said a word, but it was an authoritative order. How can the people of Chu go around like feeding monkeys? "Father—" Zhao Yong woke up suddenly, and when he turned his head, a young man in a Hu suit was running towards him, crying and screaming. "He'er, why are you crying? You're useless!" "Father! My mother! I can't do it..." The boy burst into tears again. "Let's go!" Without saying a word, Zhao Yong picked up his youngest son and rushed to the bedroom with strides.In the past few years, he has almost been fighting and fighting in the border areas, and the days with Wu Wa are actually rare and rare.Every time I hurried back to Handan to live for a few days, I only cared about tossing and venting like a storm, and I had to deal with all kinds of military and political urgent affairs in between, and hurried back to the battlefield when it was over, I really didn't have any leisure time with Wu Wa Have fun talking and laughing.I remember once my younger son yelled that my mother always complained of stomachache at night!Wu Wa smiled and hit her son on the head, go!Do not carry clear.Turning around but sticking to Zhao Yong's ear with a blushing smile, he said with a blushing face that the bearded beard had ravaged him, and he just wanted to hurt!Zhao Yong laughed loudly, waved to his son, get out!He couldn't help saying that he picked up Wu Wa and entered the tent, and after half an hour of violent tossing and sweating, he got out of the tent, only to see his youngest son standing in the hallway pointing at him with his mouth puffed up, big beard!Then he ran away.Wu Wa is only twenty-eight years old, Zhao Yong has never imagined that such a fresh and lively girl, how can she be "not good"?The son said no, it must be seriously ill, but Wu Wa was still Wu Wa last night, why did he suddenly fail? Chaotic Zhao Yong rushed into the dormitory and opened the curtains. The pale Wu Wa was staring at him with a dazed smile on his face.Zhao Yong suddenly embraced Wu Wa in his arms, and suddenly a burst of coldness seeped over him!Zhao Yong was startled, turned around and shouted, Imperial doctor!quick!But Wu Wa smiled softly, she has a big beard and is not clear, the imperial doctor is useless, put me down and listen to me.Seeing her shortness of breath, Zhao Yong quickly laid her flat on the couch, and kept stroking her cold belly with a pair of big hands.Big Beard, Meng Yao is fine, Meng Yao will wait for you to come back.Usually, a pair of clear and bright big eyes were hazy, with tears in their eyes, but the pale face was still smiling.Big Beard, Meng Yao can tell clearly that you don't belong to Meng Yao alone, you belong to Zhao Guo, yes, belong to the people of the world, you are always busy, you, you are busy, Meng Yao is waiting for you to come back... … No!Not going anywhere!Zhao Yong belongs to you alone!Zhao Yong roared, trying to calm down, patted Wu Wa's face lightly, listen to me, I have made He Er the crown prince, and he will be King Zhao in three months.Three months, you can wait, right?Wu Wa laughed, and her beard was clear again. How old is He Er, can he be a king?can!Zhao Yong was categorical, and I asked Fei Yi to assist me with all my strength. Fei Yi swore an oath to me, and the historian has written it into the history of the country, so there will be no mistakes.Meng Yao did not clear state affairs.With one hand, Wu Wa gently grabbed Zhao Yong's big beard, big beard, I'll wait for you, wait for you... His eyes flickered, and all of a sudden there was no sound. "Wu Wa——" Zhao Yong howled loudly, and embraced the cold body tightly in his arms. For three whole days, Zhao Yong hugged his cold body, expecting God's mercy on him.When he walked out of the bedroom, convinced that Wu Wa would never be warm again, the ministers of the court were all stunned—the vigorous Zhao Wang was old, with white hair and white beard scattered on his shoulders, polished by the wind and frost. The dark face that appeared suddenly turned into a thin and bony face that was chopping with a knife and an axe. His steps were swaying and his eyes were dimmed. How could it be Zhao Yong, who was so heroic in the past? Three months later, Zhao Guo held the enthronement ceremony of the new king and the state funeral ceremony of the queen at the same time. Zhao Yong did not come to crown the new king, but escorted Wu Wa's coffin. Wu Wa's cemetery was chosen on the east bank of the Great Lake, more than 50 miles north of Handan.This big lake is called Daluze, and there is a sand hill in the southeast of the big lake, which was called a sand dune platform at that time.It is said that it is a sand dune, but it is actually a vast and boundless poplar forest on the snow-white beach. On the white jade-like sand hill beside the poplar forest, it is covered by a green pine forest. It is really a spectacle!赵雍断然拒绝了堪舆大师选择风水宝地，亲自踏勘选定了这片墓地，便是要他最心爱的吴娃头枕雪白的沙山，脚踩碧波粼粼的大湖，青松为她撑起一片蓝天，白杨军阵守护她永远平安，雪白沙滩便是她守望大胡子的思乡台。他的吴娃将安静地长眠在这里等候他的归来。 整整一年，赵雍一直守侯在沙丘陵园。直到来年夏日在这里修好了一座他可随时前来居住守陵的沙丘行宫，他才离开沙丘，带着百人马队直接北上平城了。 邯郸朝局，赵雍还是把握得定的。只要大军在握，邯郸便不会有主少国疑之动荡，纵然有叵测者兴风作浪，赵雍也笃定不怕。他之所以不回邯郸，便是要看看是否会有人趁他退位且不在都城之时生出事端，再者，也得看看肥义这个相国是否能独立撑持？长居沙丘守陵一年，又再上平城巡边，赵雍都是谋定而后动的，尽管这一切也都是情势使然。而北上平城，只因为废太子赵章临时被贬黜在这里，他必须来此做最终处置。 一到平城，赵雍便立即召集边军将领，颁布了大举扩边的第一道主父令：半年调集大军并筹备粮草整顿军械，来春兵分四路扩边——西路猛攻阴山草原之匈奴余部，北路进击漠北林胡残余，东路进攻燕国渔阳郡，南路一举灭中山！特地从云中郡赶来的老将廉颇与平城大将牛赞等一班将领都很是振奋，各自领命便立即开始了紧锣密鼓地诸般准备。赵雍见军中没有任何异像，心中大是轻松，次日便飞马南下安阳。 这个安阳，时人呼之为东安阳，以与河内安阳相区别。东安阳在平城东南大约二百多里，北临治水，东南距代郡治所代城只有五十里之遥，城池不大，却是占据水草丰茂的河谷之地，算得平城防区内一片富庶之地了。废太子赵章便被临时安置这里。 抵达安阳城外，正是日暮之时。赵雍也不进城，只将行营扎在城北一座小山下，便下令护卫将军进城密召安阳相来营。片刻之后，安阳相忐忑不安地跟着护卫将军来了，赵雍便屏退左右卫士，开始细致盘问赵章在平城情形。安阳相说，王子很是守法，在平城一年有余，只是深居简出读书；官仆禀报，王子除了在每月末的互市大集上转悠一次，从不与任何官身人士来往；连他这个地方官，也只在王子到达的第一天见过一面，此后便再也没有见过王子了。赵雍默然良久，便吩咐安阳相立即回城护送赵章前来行营。 刁斗打响三更，行营大帐外便传来了赵雍熟悉的脚步声。 明亮的巨烛下，一个黝黑的胡服短衣汉子默默站在帐厅里，瘦得连紧身胡服都显得那般宽大，那与赵雍如出一辙的连鬓络腮大胡须，竟然夹杂着清晰可见的缕缕白色，沉郁的目光显得有些呆滞，往昔的虎虎生气竟是荡然无存了。这是那个正当三十岁如日中天之期的大儿子赵章么？父子两人静静地打量着对方，都愣怔着没有话说，儿子苍老了，父王更是苍老了，刹那之间，大帐中竟只有两个人粗重的喘息声。 “入座吧。”赵雍终于挥手淡淡地说了一句。 “待罪之身，主父前不敢有座。”赵章低声答了一句，依旧肃然站立。 “早知今日，何须当初。”赵雍长叹一声，“咎由自取，虽上天不能救也。” “不，儿臣当初并无罪责。” “如何？当初你并无过错？再说一遍！”倏忽之间，赵雍便是一脸肃杀之气。 “主父明察，这是儿臣当年与几位大臣边将的来回书简，儿臣须臾不敢离身。”赵章从身边提起一个木匣，恭敬地捧到了帐厅中央的大案上，又恭敬地打开了匣盖。 赵雍目光一闪，大步走到案前，呼啦倒出匣中竹简，拿起一卷便一扫而过，片刻之间，便浏览完了十多卷竹简，一时竟愣怔得没有话说了。这些竹简全是来回书信，与周袑几名文臣者，去书都是求教《尚书》之精意，回书都是简言做答；与牛赞几名边将者，去书都是求教练兵之法以正《吴子兵法》，回书都是如实照答，全无丝毫涉及国事朝政之语！ “如何可证不是你后来伪造？”赵雍语气冰冷淡漠。 “太子府有史官属员日日当值。周袑老师一丝不苟，执意依照法度将储君全部书简刻本交于史官，存于国府典籍库。主父但查便知，儿臣何能伪造？” “既然如此，当初为何不做申辩？” “父王正在盛怒之时，儿臣若强行辩解，大臣边将便会立分两边，父王则必得立下决断，严厉处置一班大臣边将。人头落地，大错便难以挽回。儿臣惟恐有乱国之危，便不敢以清白全身之私念搅乱朝局，无得有他。” “今日再说，不觉太迟么？” “与儿臣虽迟，与邦国却利。” 赵雍目光炯炯地盯住儿子：“然则，你却终究不能复位了，服气么？” “但使主父对大臣边将释疑，上下同心扩边，儿臣足矣，夫复何求？” “天意也！夫复何言？”赵雍怦然心动，便是一声喟叹，转身良久默然。 “主父，儿臣告辞。” “且慢！”赵雍骤然回身，“身为王子，你从未入军历练。明日便随我入军，征战扩边，为国建功。” “儿臣谢过主父！” 赵章走了。赵雍却是久久不能安枕，辗转反侧直到五更鸡鸣。 第一次，赵雍觉得自己老了。分明是须得查勘清楚才能定策的大事，如何自己当初竟是一意孤行了？那时，肥义也很惊讶，再三劝阻自己查勘一番再做定论。可自己却狠狠骂了肥义一通，说他是谋而无断不堪大任，还逼着他立誓辅佐赵何，而且莫名其妙地坚执将肥义誓言录入国史。如今看来，这一切都太草率了。赵何尚不到十岁，显然是太嫩了。赵章显然要成熟得多，且有如此难能可贵的忍辱负重与全局胸怀，有此气度再加军旅磨练，眼看便是一个出类拔萃的君王了。然则覆地之水难收，已成定局的国事如何再能无端折腾？赵雍啊赵雍，你当初忍耐十九年而不发的韧劲儿却到哪里去了？就不能等到赵何长大看看比比再说了？这种种变化，究竟是甚个根由了？是吴娃么？no?那却是甚个原由了？赵雍实在不忍心将自己的错谋推到一个清纯娇憨得甚至不知国王与头人哪个更大的美丽女子身上，可是，这一切又分明都是在有了吴娃之后才有的啊。No!自己错就自己错，赖一个女子何来？吴娃入宫十年，前些年如何你赵雍不发癫狂？偏偏便在后来发癫狂了？吴娃，大胡子对不住你也！赵雍第一次羞愧了。
