Chapter 63 Section 5 Mistakes Again and Again: The Elegy of a Hero
After two years of fighting, Zhao Yong's army once again shocked the world.
The army on the West Road was commanded by the veteran Lian Po, and fought fiercely against the Huns again, driving the Huns out of the north of Yinshan Mountain for more than a thousand miles.This is the biggest reason that shocked the world—for the first time, the mighty Qin State maintained a defensive position in front of Zhao State's Hufu army, but who is as strong as Zhao's army?The army of the North Road was commanded by the veteran Niu Zan. Within half a year, he drove Lin Hu, Dong Hu and the remnants of Lou Fan who had fled north to the vast jungle of the North Sea.The Dai County of the State of Zhao suddenly expanded its land by three thousand miles, connecting the Yinshan Grassland and the Daihai Grassland in the east. The population of the Hu people in the State of Zhao increased greatly.The army on the East Road was commanded by Zhao Yong himself, and within three months they captured 23 castles in Yuyang County of Yan State, and all the north of Gushui became Zhao's territory.The army of 60,000 on the South Road, led by Prince Zhao Zhang as the general and Guo Wei Lou Huan as his deputy, attacked the remaining Zhongshan Kingdom in one fell swoop, cleared the west of Zhao Kingdom, and directly connected with Jinyang of Qin Kingdom.On the day of the class teacher, the Zhao State had an army of 630,000, a territory of more than 6,000 miles, and a population of tens of millions. It became a super powerful warring state only slightly inferior to Qin State.
The teacher in Handan discussed meritorious deeds and gave rewards. The master's father issued a special edict: the prince Zhao Zhang was granted the title of Lord Anyang;
As soon as the edict was issued, the ministers of the court were in a commotion.
Fei Yi was already the prime minister of the mansion at this time, seeing his master's father's sudden addition of a prominent title and Zhao Zhang, his heart was full of worries.Today, I was thinking in the study whether I should formally write a statement of interests and interests to prevent the old master's father from acting on a whim again, but Li Dui, the master secretary of the prime minister's mansion, walked in lightly.The chief scribe is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister's government documents and classics, and is also the chief civil officer appointed by the monarch.Li Duizheng was middle-aged, quite shrewd and capable, and he bowed when he entered the study: "Xiangguo is worried, could it be Lord Anyang?"
"If you have a suggestion, just sit down and explain it clearly."
"Xiangguo is clearly aware," Li Dui closed the heavy wooden door of the study with light steps, then turned around and sat on the floor in front of the desk and said in a low voice, "Li Dui thinks that Wang Zizhang's return will cause great disaster to Xiangguo, and Xiangguo should make a plan early."
"Big disaster? Why didn't the old man notice it?" Fei Yi smiled leisurely.
"I've heard it recently: Wang Zizhang is close to the soldiers of the frontier army, and the wings are about to be fulfilled. Disasters come when something unexpected happens." Li Dui first put down a secret message, and then said seriously, "Wang Zizhang is modest but actually strong and arrogant. If there is no selfish desire, where does the connection with the party members come from? The master father also appointed Anyang as an impolite minister to Tian. Knowing that Anyang was not invited by Wang Zizhang? Great chaos. If Xiangguo doesn't set up a strategy to avoid disaster early, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
"Using the plan of the son, the plan will come out?" Fei Yi still smiled leisurely.
"Resign from court due to illness, and recommend others to be prime ministers."
"Who do you recommend?"
"Young Master Cheng has a solid foundation, so he can keep the Prime Minister safe."
Fei Yi's black face darkened, his eyes suddenly shot a sharp light, but he suddenly retracted, and he sighed solemnly: "Li Dui, Li Dui, although I don't know who you are lobbying for, I want you to send a message: Fei Yi I have already sworn to the Heavenly Alliance, and it has been recorded in the history of the Huanghuang Kingdom. How can I try to protect myself and harm the country? The proverb says: The dead are resurrected, and the living are not ashamed. Difficulty sees loyalty, and the country is chaotic. Dare to give up righteousness and just live in vain!"
Li Dui looked at Fei Yi in surprise, and suddenly choked up his sobs: "Nuo, Xiangguo will do it for himself. I'll see you for only one year!" After finishing speaking, he helped the case and stood up wiping his tears and went out.Hearing this inexplicable prophecy, Fei Yi couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this ridiculous look of weeping: "That's weird! I never thought that the master book would have such a great talent as a wizard!"
Within a few days, there was a secret report from a government official: Li Dui, the chief secretary, frequented Prince Cheng's mansion, and Prince Cheng's fiefdom had begun to secretly recruit private soldiers!As soon as he heard that Li Dui had formed a bond with the young master, Fei Yi roughly understood the mystery.This son Cheng is Zhao Cheng, the most established old general of the royal family, and he is the first threshold for Zhao Yong when he was riding and shooting in Hufu.I don't know whether it was the prince Zhao Zhang who guarded against Zhao Cheng, or Zhao Cheng despised the prince Zhao Zhang. Anyway, the relationship between Zhao Cheng and Zhao Zhang has always been extremely cold.At the beginning when the crown prince was dismissed, none of the ministers of the Zhao family came out to speak out, and nine out of ten it was the root cause of Zhao Cheng.Now Li Dui is acting as a lobbyist for Zhao Cheng, asking Fei Yi to give up his prime minister to Zhao Cheng but being rejected, what plans does Zhao Cheng and Li Dui have in mind?Fei Yi has always been vigilant and meticulous, and immediately sensed some kind of vague danger approaching!Those who come up with such plans must have extremely selfish desires, they are definitely not planning for others, they can only seek power and profit for themselves, even if they openly play the banner of protecting the new King Zhao, they cannot join forces with them, they must be dealt with immediately have their own plans.
As soon as he said it, Fei Yi immediately went into the palace to find the censor Xinqi who was in charge of the royal family affairs and the king's actions. He explained in detail the recent abnormalities and his own thoughts, and finally ordered: "The most important thing now is to protect the king. Starting today, no matter who wants to call the new king out of the palace to meet, he must get the old man's prophet before he can do it!"
This letter originally had the same root as Fei Yi, and they were both "Fat" tribesmen in the grassland who had dissipated and disintegrated.The Feiyi family blatantly took the clan as their surname, but Xinqi's ancestors changed their surname from the Central Plains, and joined the army and won a noble title to enter the court.Ten years ago, Xinqi was the chief secretary in charge of secrets in Feiyi's mansion.After Fei Yi became the regent of the country, he recommended Xinqi to the new king Zhao He as the minister in charge of the palace.Xinqi is alert and capable, extremely intelligent and capable, and he knows it as soon as he hears it.Xinqi dare not obey?
Just as Fei Yi was planning a contingency, the situation in Zhao Guochao was unexpectedly calm.There was no further movement from Zhao Cheng's side, Anyang Lord Zhao Zhang also returned to the fief, and the master father Zhao Yong still went to patrol the border with that capable horse team.After more than a year like this, Fei Yi gradually lost his nervousness.
In the spring and April of the following year, it was a grand meeting in the state of Zhao. The grassland tribes who surrendered to the state of Zhao, and the descendants of the Zhongshan and Loufan royal families who were moved to Dashan, Yanmen County, all came to Handan to pay tribute.In the nearly 200-year history of the Zhao Kingdom, this is the first time that Zhao has accepted the ceremonial worship of a tribal state with the status of conquering a big country. Naturally, the government and the public are jubilant.It was still in March, and the master's father sent a Yushu edict: At that time, he will rush back to Handan, and King Zhao will hold a grand ceremony to accept the tribute.The Grand Court Ceremony was originally the most grand ceremony for the emperors of Xia, Shang and Zhou to accept the annual tribute from the princes.At that time, the princes were self-governing, and the emperor's royal family and the land of Gyeonggi also mainly relied on the taxation and support of the land of Wangji.Although tribute is not a tax and there is no fixed number, the tribute ceremony must be carried out every year.Because this is the most important form of surrender to the emperor.Only when the vassal states and all the vassal states come to court every year, this means the stable existence of the emperor's authority.If you don't pay tribute, you will be regarded as a "non-subject" state by the world, and the emperor will have the right to conquer until you resume being a subject and paying tribute.This ancient tributary system is the most important link of the feudal vassal system. It hides an ancient tradition of the Chinese people: less wealth and economic benefits, more emphasis on power and status; tribute.By the time of the Warring States period, all major countries were under the system of prefectures and counties governed by the whole country. Although there were differences in the degree of centralization, the fiefdom system had not completely disappeared, but in any case, this kind of tribute system had long since disappeared.However, in the relationship between the big countries in the Central Plains and the surrounding nomadic tribes, the tributary system still vaguely has ancient shadows.Both Qin State and Chu State used the tributary system to maintain the nomadic and mountain tribes that were surrendered due to defeat but could not be completely integrated into the mainland.
Zhao Guo expanded its borders, except for capturing part of Yuyang County in Yan State, all conquered were Hu states—Zhongshan, Loufan, Xiongnu, Linhu, Donghu, etc.King Wuling of Zhao divided all these conquered territories into three types: the land of Yan State was brought into the mainland; In the country of Mu, the country was destroyed and the royal family was completely removed, and the royal families and tribes of the two countries were moved into the mountainous area that Zhao Jun could firmly control, and the tribute system was implemented at the same time.In the two or three years since Zhao Yong fought the war, he has been working tirelessly on this grand plan of "transforming the country".Only in this way, there was the first tribute ceremony after the war.
At this time, it happened to be the early summer of Zhao Yong's fourth year as the master father.
On that day, the Great Court was held in Palace Square as an exception.The warm wind was blowing, the sky was bright and the sun was bright, the young King Zhao sat high on the throne above the sixteen white jade steps, receiving the pilgrimage of the vassal leaders, special envoys of various countries, and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom, and the ministers of ceremonies recited loudly With the tribute book, the musicians played grand and melodious carols, the courtiers on both sides, the soldiers on all sides, and the thousands of people gathered outside the square kept shouting "Long live King Zhao!", making this young king really as supremely honored as the Son of Heaven.
Zhao Yong didn't show his face, he was hidden on a cloud cart three feet high from the outside of the king's platform, but he was more excited than he was sitting on the throne.It was he who created such a grand foundation, and it was he who saw his son ascend to the throne, Zhao Guo would have successors, and Zhao Guo would become stronger.If life is like this, what can the husband ask for?At this moment of intoxication, his heart suddenly trembled!
The last is the tribute ceremony of Zhao Guofeng.Anyang Lord Zhao Zhang is a royal descendant, so naturally he will be the first.Zhao Zhang, who used to be such a handsome prince, is now dressed in commoner clothes and a bamboo crown. He bowed and prostrated on the ground trembling, kowtowing to his young brother on the throne. Suddenly, it was like a pot of cold water being splashed on fiery charcoal balls, Zhao Yong's teeth hissed, and when he leaned slumped, the fence of the cloud car unexpectedly clicked loudly!
That night, under the escort of the cavalry, the master's caravan rumbled into Xiangguo's mansion.
"Fei Qing, I have a final plan and I need your full assistance." Entering the study, Zhao Yong was the first to say.
"The old minister would like to hear the details."
"Zhao Zhang's initial crime was a wrong decision. Zhao Zhang led the army and made great achievements in destroying the country. The old man intends to make Zhao Zhang the king of Northern Zhao, and concentrate on expanding the border to make the Zhao country stronger." But see Fei Yi, Zhao Yong It is rough and uninhibited, without any restraint at all.
"..." Fei Yi widened his old eyes in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the strong old king with the same gray beard and hair in front of him, "Master's intention is to destroy Zhao Kingdom?"
"Where did you come from?" Maybe because he was not at ease, Zhao Yong actually laughed, "Although they are two kings, they are not separated, how can they be alarmist?"
"The old minister dare not obey his orders even if he dies." Fei Yi's face was ashen, "Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky, and no two kings in the country. Since there are two kings, how can we not divide the country and rule? Zhao Guo is divided, and there will be war. Two hundred years ago, the Zhao Kingdom was completely destroyed! Why did the master, who has experienced blood and fire, come up with such absurd and unreasonable strategy? The old minister really can't fathom it."
Zhao Yong was silent for a while, and sighed for a long time: "Alas! Who can understand Zhao Yong's heart?"
"The painstaking efforts of the master, the old minister is well aware." Fei Yi did not hide it, "The mistake of the day was that Fei Yi failed to persist in the investigation and make a decision, but was threatened by my king, and made an alliance to protect the stability of the new king. The state of Zhao has been recorded in the history of the country. If there is a mistake that day, the old minister is the minister of the past, and it is hard to shirk the blame! Even if my king made a mistake, he and the old minister are just equal." Fei Yi was impassioned, and the old man's eyes were full of tears Yingying, with a long sigh, said again, "Master clearly observes: people are not sages, who can be blameless? State affairs are divergent, the court situation is gloomy, internal and external troubles gather together, even if the Mingjun and virtuous ministers gather together, how can it be guaranteed that no one will make sacrifices? If the master Overturning the previous judgment because of one's own guilt, the country's laws and regulations are like child's play, where can we talk about the stability of the country? My Wang Yingming, even if I can't plan the country as far-sighted as Qin Xiaogong, I should not be as stupid as Qi Huangong in his later years. Why alone At the peak of my achievements, my king has acted arbitrarily and made big mistakes?"
"It's nonsense! Why did the old man make such a big mistake?"
Facing the master's father who suddenly had a serious expression on his face, Fei Yi showed no fear, and said arrogantly: "Misunderstanding the Zhao Zhang, this is the first. Abdicated in the prime of life, triggering a battle for the throne for no reason, this is the second. The young prince Fang Li March, Then help him to become king, this is the third. Deliberately let Baishen Zhao Zhang be a general, build the merits of destroying the country and make Anyang Lord, this is the fourth. Now the two kings divide the Zhao Kingdom, this is the fifth. Both a mistake and a mistake No matter how wrong you are, it is called error correction, but it is actually a big mistake! Is there any truth to what the old minister said?"
"Fei Yi!" Zhao Yong shouted angrily, but his mouth was tongue-tied.
Fei Yi panted heavily, and wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes: "Self-love harms the country, and there is nothing like it through the ages. My king disturbs the mind for a woman, and handles state affairs at both ends, which really makes the veteran ashamed!"
"Fei Yi! This old man killed you!!" With a clatter, Zhao Yong's knight saber reached Fei Yi's neck like lightning.
Fei Yi smiled lightly: "How easy is it to die? The old minister buried your King Zhao."
"..." Zhao Yong took the saber away, "Don't play tricks, old man, tell me! Zhao He is in danger?"
"The master is wise and powerful, how can the old minister know?"
"Let's talk, how to deal with Zhao Zhang?" Suddenly, Zhao Yong was so calm that he looked like a different person.
Fei Yi cupped his hands: "Veteran's opinion: Zhao Zhang Guoxian should surrender himself for the country, and be a lord, a general, what position can't serve the country? If Zhao Zhang is unworthy, even if the master doesn't move, Zhao Zhang is a party I can't bear it for a long time. If Zhao Zhang's mutiny seizes the throne, it will clearly prove his shady and prey character, why should the master be ashamed of it?"
"You mean, Zhao Zhang still has plans to covet him?" Zhao Yong couldn't help but gasped.
Fei Yi smiled faintly, "Master, why don't you wait for a year or two and use it as a trial?"
"..." Zhao Yong's heart sank suddenly, "Fei Yi, is there any love for him in the country?"
"The old minister has nothing to say."
Zhao Yong left with a gloomy face.No matter how Fei Yi glared at him, he wouldn't take it to heart.Even if Fei Yi ridiculed Wu Wa who he didn't want to be criticized by anyone, he wouldn't take it seriously.Such a strong and strong minister, he is the pillar of the Guangsha in times of crisis. Zhao Yong has been in trouble all his life, how could he not understand the severity of this.His displeasure lies in the fact that Fei Yi's words and expressions made him faintly vigilant - Zhao Guo must still be hiding some kind of hidden power!Otherwise, with Fei Yi's strength and fierceness, he would have preemptively struck.Fei Yi can't do anything, and he can't say it clearly, so the suspect must be an extraordinary official?Where is Sheng Sheng so rampant that he dared to cause trouble when Zhao Yong was alive?bird!The old man had to open his eyes wide to see.
For a whole summer, but there was no vision, the father Zhao Yong let out a long sigh of relief.He believed that as long as Zhao Yong was there, no one in Zhao would dare to cause chaos.When the autumn wind started to rise, he took six thousand elite knights and headed south.Normally, no matter where he travels, he only takes a centurion with him.But this time Zhao Yong issued an edict in advance, ordering Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang to lead 6,000 cavalry to escort him south to the Dune Palace.According to Zhao Yongzhi's judgment, if Zhao Guo is in danger of civil strife, Zhao Zhang must be one of the root causes.Although Zhao Zhang hadn't noticed any changes, but just in case, Zhao Yong still arranged him in front of him.
But the master father never expected that Zhao Zhang just wanted to use this opportunity to mutiny!
Speaking of which, Zhao Zhang is not an ambitious and powerful figure.With a powerful father like Zhao Yong, the country has been stable and free of civil strife for more than 20 years. Zhao Zhang grew up in a relatively peaceful court since he was a child. He has neither military experience nor power and storms.Another reason is that King Wuling of Zhao had only one son at that time, and both the government and the public regarded it as a connection to the country. King Wuling never let his son enter the army as a young man like himself back then, but only let this son With the help of strong ministers, he governed the country.Zhao Zhang was crowned as the crown prince at the age of eighteen. In the years before and after Hu Fu rode and shot, he had always been conscientious in assisting state affairs, but he was calm and steady.When Wuling King Na Wuwa entered the palace and his biological mother died of depression, Zhao Zhang felt a little resentful towards the father.Later, another prince, Zhao He, was born, and King Wu Ling's affection was undisguised, and there were all sorts of mysterious discussions in the country.Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhang had something on his mind, and took advantage of the power of governing the country to deliberately make friends with capable ministers and cadres to plan for himself.The first thing that came into Zhao Zhang's field of vision was You Si's impoliteness.At that time, Tian Buli was thirty-six years old, alert and capable, and he was Fei Yi's capable arm in supervising state affairs.Whenever officials are impeached for misbehavior, it is usually Tian Buli who deals with all parties.King Wu Ling has been fighting abroad for a long time, and the officials who deal with him must report to the prince for a decision. Naturally, Tian Buli became a frequent visitor to the prince's mansion.After several contacts, Zhao Zhang trusted Tian Buli more and more, Tian Buli also had high hopes for the prince, and the two gradually became close friends between the monarch and his ministers, but Fei Yi didn't realize it.With Tian Buli as a link, Zhao Zhang later had private remuneration with the border generals other than official and state affairs. Although they were all talking about military affairs and not getting involved in other affairs, their friendship gradually became stronger.
All this, Zhao Zhang kept it from his teacher, Prince Fu Zhouqi.Just because Tian Buli said that the pedantic old Confucianism is the most harmful to the country and the people. If the prince wants to succeed, he must deal with this old stubborn man first.What is good?Zhao Zhang was quite confused.There are two good people.Tian Buli soberly said two ideas, Zhao Zhang couldn't help being stunned, but he couldn't help but admire Tian Buli's wisdom.Acting in the same way, Zhao Zhang found some difficult classics, and tirelessly sought advice from the old Zhou Bing. The old Zhou Bing felt that the prince was eager to learn, so he continued to talk all night long, never tired of it.Zhao Zhang also handed over all the slips on the art of war with the border generals to Lao Zhou, recorded them in the national history, and stored them in the classics library.Lao Zhou was so excited that he not only compiled and edited carefully, but also made notes one by one himself.Later, these two incidents were indeed reported secretly by the secret agents of the Si Guofu, and it was precisely because of the dissatisfaction of old Zhou Yun that Zhao Zhang had the opportunity to make a comeback later.If there is no land and disrespect for the policy of "residing in three caves", how can Zhao Zhang withstand the thunderous dethronement?
By the time Zhao Zhang joined the army as a general, Tian Buli had already concluded that everything would be accomplished.Sure enough, the master's father ordered Lou Xu to help, and Zhao Zhang had the merit of destroying the country. Not only did he reappoint the Anyang Lord, but he also made Tian Buli the Prime Minister of Anyang!After such a soul-stirring death and resurrection, Zhao Zhang's rudeness to Tian naturally obeyed the words of God.During the April Dynasty, Zhao Zhang Yitian impolitely planned, clothed bamboo crowns made sour appearance, really aroused the master's heart, and called him into the palace that night to have a private talk, saying that he would be the king of Northern Zhao leading the army Tuo Bian, and asked him Can we rejuvenate Zhao together with Zhao He?Zhao Zhang wept bitterly, and only said generously, my son wants to expand the border and rejuvenate Zhao, but he will not be the king of Zhao!The master's father was very excited, and actually encouraged him a lot in a rare way.
This time, Tian Buli started planning early.He found out that the master's father was restless after he went north, so he concluded that Zhao Guo was strongly blocked in Feiyi. The master's father was depressed, and he must go south to the Dune Palace in autumn for entertainment, and Zhao Zhang must accompany him. This is the best time !Zhao Zhang is in a state of confusion, what can I do under the authority of the master father?Tian Buli said categorically, killing Zhao He and forcing the master's father to retire, this is the only chance!Zhao Zhang turned pale with fright, Zhao He has Fei Yi by his side, how can he kill him?How can the master father be coerced because he is brave and brave?no!This plan is too absurd!Tian Buli smiled faintly, if he only wanted to be Lord Anyang for a few years, then his father would die tragically under Zhao He's sword, this plan is absurd.Zhao Zhang hurriedly judged that it was not because I didn't listen to the plan of my step, it was really difficult to do this plan.Tian Buli immediately looked solemn and serious. Mutiny has always been a risk, but you have to put aside your pedantic heart, and I can do it myself.Zhao Zhang is still at a loss, how can it be done?Tian Buli explained the plan in detail.Zhao Zhang thought about it carefully. Although the danger is dangerous, it is really a coincidence in the danger.This is the hammer!
In mid-August, six thousand cavalry escorted the master's father's car and drove southward in a mighty manner.
As soon as he entered the sand dunes and mountains and rivers, Zhao Yong's eyes were full of sadness.Clear lake water, snow-white sandy beach, pale poplars, secluded cemetery, the landscape is still picturesque, but the beauties sleep forever.Thinking of the innocence and unrestraint with Wu Wa, Zhao Yong felt distressed for a while.Wu Wa died, and he also suddenly aged. Everything in the world lost its attraction to him, and he was so tired that he wanted to fall asleep anytime.After entering the Dune Palace, he issued an order: Zhao Zhang led the army to station outside the palace and the front palace, and a cavalry team of hundreds of people stationed at the outside gate of the Mausoleum Palace.
The Dune Palace was originally special. It was the cemetery of Empress Hui (Wu Wa was titled Empress Hui), and also the residence of the master’s father; the cemetery was at the foot of the pine forest in the sand dunes, and there was a Wuwa Palace exactly like Wu Wa’s former residence. The master's father's palace is the place where Zhao Yong handles state affairs and meets with courtiers.Although Zhao Yong abdicated, he did not hand over his military power and human rights. One was that he wanted to personally command the army to open up the country of Zhao, and the other was that Zhao He was still a teenager. He wanted Zhao He to be in charge at the right time when he grew up.However, it is also necessary to train Zhao He to mature as soon as possible, so Zhao Yong made a plan at the beginning: In addition to fighting, he will be stationed in the sand dunes, only control the major affairs of the country, and let Zhao He Feiyi deal with state affairs.Under such planning, there is this sand dune palace.However, at this moment, Zhao Yong is in a depressed mood, and he has no intention of living in the palace outside the mausoleum, which handles state affairs, but lives in the Wuwa Palace in the cemetery, dreaming and haunting.
Whether it is appropriate or not, it is still difficult to judge even if it goes to heaven.
But no matter whether it was proper or not, the astonishing mutiny happened precisely at this time!
On this day, the Handan Royal Palace suddenly received an imperial edict from the master's father: Zhao Wang immediately went to the Shaqiu Palace to meet the master's father.The king, Zhao He, was young, so he yelled happily, hoping to prepare the car, I'm going to see the master!Xinqi was vigilant, and as soon as he received the edict, he immediately sent cadres to report to Xiangguo's mansion.In a short while, Fei Yi had already arrived in a hurry, seeing that the imperial edict's seal and bamboo slips had no flaws, he decided that this was the master's edict without a doubt.Note to officials: The characters in the Warring States period were ancient and Austrian. At this time, it has just entered the late Warring States period. Although running script has appeared, it can only be used for special matters such as private business affairs that need to gain time. All official proclamations and edicts must be in serious seal script. .The seal script (not the later simplified Xiaozhuan) and several types of pictures, it is difficult to reflect the personal characteristics of the calligrapher when written in a serious manner, and the writing tools are simple and rough (the writing brush has not yet been invented at that time), and there is almost no handwriting recognition; The later running script was written by each person, and the handwriting was very different.Therefore, the identification of documents is just seals, materials, and various special forms of transmission.
But Fei Yi thought about it, and immediately deployed: Xinqi led a hundred elites in black clothes, and they stayed with King Zhao; The guard of honor moved forward, but the siren sounded, and the king's chariot returned immediately.This deployment stunned the young Zhao He, "Old Xiangguo, I am going to see the master, not on the battlefield!"Fei Yi is dignified and upright, my king is concerned with the safety of the country, but listen to the old minister.This Fei Yi has always been strong and fierce, but now he has a black face and white beard, Zhao He couldn't help feeling a little bit afraid, muttering a few words to himself, he straightened his armor and boarded the king's chariot.
When the sun was setting to the west, the king's chariot and horse team arrived at the Dune Palace.
There is a military barracks stationed outside the palace, and there are only two rows of guards of honor from the carriage and horse farm to the porch of the palace. Everything is normal and relaxed, and there is no abnormality at all.But Fei Yi was old at this after all, he had already learned that the master's father was on this trip led by Zhao Zhang as an escort, so he didn't relax his mind at all.When he arrived at the chariot and horse farm, Fei Yi got off his horse and gave an order to the king's chariot driver. The old man entered the palace first, and if the master's father was in the palace, the old man came out to pick up the king.Xinqi let out a hi, Fei Yi had already strode away.
"Fei Yi sees the master—!" After entering the second door, the old and thick voice echoed in the hall.
The throne is high above, but the hall is empty and deserted.Feeling strange, Fei Yi was about to turn around, but heard a crackling sound behind him, and the door had been closed with a bang.At this moment, a sneer was heard, and a figure in full military uniform appeared behind the wooden screen of the throne, Fei Yi, the master ordered you to commit suicide and hand over your head.Fei Yi laughed loudly, Tian Buli, it really is you!Does the old man believe your nonsense?Believe it or not?Tian Buli waved his hand and said with a smile, cut off the head of the old Xiangguo for me, how heavy is it?While speaking, several teams of soldiers approached from all sides holding their spears.Fei Yi yelled, Master Father!Did you see it?Zhao Guo's old illness has relapsed!With a shout of anger, he began to fight with the soldiers with his bare hands.Although Fei Yi is an old hero, he is unarmed after all. After a few rounds, his whole body was pierced, and he collapsed in a pool of blood!
However, Xinqi was also extremely vigilant at the carriage and racecourse outside the hall. He could vaguely hear Fei Yi shouting angrily and knew that something was wrong.With a flick of the rein, the bronze king's chariot whirled around, and the speeding chariot rushed towards the way it came.At this moment, the guards of honor of the two teams shouted in unison, and surrounded them in unison.The young Zhao He's face was pale, but he was extremely furious. He drew out his dagger and screamed, the thief made trouble!Kill me——!Just about to fly and jump off the king's chariot, Xinqi turned around and hugged him, my king but sit down!There are black guards!These one hundred black-clothed swordsmen were quite unusual, the leader general let out a whistle, and formed a circular formation around the king's chariot, fighting hard while rolling forward, the two teams of soldiers could not help but rush forward. near.
All of a sudden, they heard the rumble of horseshoes in the direction of the barracks, and two teams of iron cavalry flew over from the snow-white beach, looking at the flag, they knew it was two thousand cavalry teams.Xinqi was shocked, on the field, the swordsman on foot could not resist the cavalry's dash, so he let out a loud shout and rushed towards the lake!Get into the water!Just when the iron cavalry was about to fly to the place of an arrow, suddenly they heard the thunderous sound of war drums in the poplar forest on all sides, and two red cavalry rushed out like a tide. A white-haired veteran shouted from a distance, I am Wang Mopan, and Zhao Chenglai too!
"Father—!" Zhao He jumped and cried happily.Xinqi shouted loudly, "Military changes are impermanent, my king is here!"Whipping the horse and shouting, the black clothes cleared the way and rushed to the big lake!At this time, two cavalry were colliding and fighting in the beach field.The guards in black guarded the king's chariot, took advantage of the situation and rushed to the poplar forest by the lake.
Speaking of Zhao Chengma, it was not sudden at all.
Li Dui said that Fei Yi had failed, so he resigned from his position as the secretary of Xiangguo's mansion, and became Zhao Cheng's head guest, dedicated to planning secrets for Zhao Cheng.The reason why Zhao Cheng was moved was because of Li Dui's judgment on the overall situation of Zhao State: Now that the master father is in a daze, and the two kings are fighting for the country, there must be civil strife. Only strength can save Zhao State from a dangerous situation; Fei Yi and my son have two ears!Although Fei Yi is strong and fierce and old in rebellion, but he is too attached to his master father, and he must respect the dignity of his master father in everything, so he will be cautious in his actions. In the end, it is difficult to let go of Zhao Zhang. At most, the young King Zhao has no worries about his life; , Feiyi is holding back, Wu Wa is dead, Zhao He is young, who can stop Zhao Zhang from becoming king?If Zhao Zhang is in charge of the country, the master father will accept it with the guilt of being wronged and abolished at the beginning.Once such an overall situation is achieved, the young master must be a thorn in Zhao Zhangzhi's eyes!At this time, only the son can use his strength as the stone of Mount Tai, so that the country of Zhao can be peaceful and the son can rule the country.
"The need to rule the country?"
"Put Zhao Zhang to death, force the father to retire, and cut off Fei Yi."
"How to do it?"
"But there are soldiers from the four towns, and the time is within a year."
Zhao Cheng resolutely said: "Okay! There is an old man in military matters, sir, but it's okay to look for opportunities!"
The grand plan was confirmed, and Young Master Cheng immediately started an extremely secretive linking operation.At the beginning, because Zhao Cheng finally supported King Zhao Wuling when he was riding and shooting in Hufu, which enabled the rapid and stable implementation of Zhao's military system reform, King Wuling naturally regarded this uncle as a meritorious minister, and the special edict increased Zhao Cheng's fief Sixty miles.In this way, although Zhao Cheng is no longer in charge of the army, his foundation in the army of Zhao State has not been weakened in the slightest due to the change of the military system.In other words, Zhao Cheng's subordinate generals were not eliminated during the military system reform.Today, they are all powerful generals with tens of thousands of troops and horses in their hands.If you count the veteran commanders of the same period Lian Po and Niu Zan who had a relationship with Zhao Chengsu, Zhao Cheng's influence in Zhao Guo's army can be regarded as very important.The one who can overwhelm Zhao Cheng's influence is probably King Zhao Wuling alone.But this is the case, as long as Zhao Yong is in power, Zhao Cheng never thinks about it.Now that Zhao Yong has made mistakes, it is obvious that he is old and never stops.Although Fei Yi is also the foundation of the military, he has been in charge of government affairs for many years, and Zhao Yong has been in charge of the military for a long time. Fei Yi's influence in the army has been greatly weakened.
The situation thus created is: in fact (not legally) the power of the monarch to control the army has been divided into four, the father Zhao Yong is still in full control of the army in name, but in fact his orders have been relaxed; the new king Zhao He and Xiangguo Feiyi control the Handan garrison On the one hand, generals Lian Po, Niu Zan, and Lou Xu commanded the frontier army, while the royal generals were in charge of the fortress garrisons around Handan.According to the law: when there is no war, the frontier army has never been involved in state affairs; the Handan garrison and the surrounding fortresses are not allowed to move without the king's order.Under the overall situation of national stability and unified orders, laws and regulations are naturally useful.However, in Zhao State, a powerful country with a tradition of mutiny that has always relied on strength to speak, the ownership of power is unclear, and the "concern" of the generals who hold the army to the situation in the court was immediately revealed.As long as the powerful minister has roots in the army, there is no such thing as being unable to dispatch.
Under such a general situation, Zhao Cheng has no scruples about going out, and his strength is the soldiers of the four cities.The so-called Siyi refers to the four fortresses around Handan: Wu'an, Shaoyang, Lieren, and Juqiao.Wu'an is the west gate of Handan, and has always garrisoned 20,000 to 50,000 troops.Shaoyang is close to Zhangshui in the south of Handan, and it is the southern gateway of Zhao State. In addition, there is the famous Congtai (later called Zhaowangtai) palace here, which has always been guarded by 30,000 troops.The columnists are in the east of Handan and the west bank of Zhangshui, with an ordinary garrison of 10,000 troops.Juqiao is in the north of Handan and south of Julu, less than a hundred miles away from Handan.Julu is also an important place for military strategists, but it is not a garrison with Juqiao Fortress.This giant bridge was originally a large stone bridge over the Julu River. The reason why it became a fortress was not because of the danger of the bridge, but because there was the largest granary in the Zhao Kingdom - the Juqiao warehouse.The construction of large granaries on Juqiao began in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.According to historical records, when King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, he opened the giant bridge warehouse to help the hungry people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Along the way, Juqiao has become the largest granary in Zhao State. Although it is not as famous as the Ao Cang in Wei State, it can be regarded as one of the famous granaries in the world.Because of this granary, the giant bridge became another castle besides the giant deer, and naturally became a fortress defended by a separate garrison.Because these four fortresses are important places, most of the garrison troops have been led by royal generals, and Zhao Cheng is just the old army leader of the current royal family.
Not long after, Zhao Cheng's secret connection was completed, and it was time to wait for Li Dui's chosen opportunity to act.
Naturally, Li Dui was not idle, he had already dispatched multiple secret scouts, and paid a lot of money to buy off the two servants beside the master's father. If King Wuling of Zhao, King Zhao, and Fei Yi made any move, the news immediately spread to Li Dui's office in the northern suburbs of Handan. secret camp.The master's father went south to the sand dunes and was escorted by Zhao Zhang's army, which made Li Dui overjoyed, and immediately rushed back to Handan to discuss a secret plan with the son for a night, and arranged everything properly.By the time Fei Yi and the young King Zhao marched towards the Dune Palace, Zhao Cheng's soldiers from the four cities had already ambushed in the vast poplar forest on the east coast of the mainland.Seeing the cavalry from the two barracks outside the Dune Palace rushing to kill King Zhao's chariot, Zhao Cheng immediately waved his troops to cover up and kill him.
Zhao Zhang was originally issuing orders from a hill outside the palace, but when he received a report from the palace that Fei Yi had been killed, he laughed happily and immediately ordered the two battalions of flying cavalry to intercept and kill Zhao He!Not wanting the cavalry to be able to spread out, they saw a large group of cavalry rushing out of the forest by the lake like a tide.Zhao Zhang's heart sank suddenly, and he knew that something was wrong, but there was no room for maneuver, so he immediately flew down the mountain on his horse, and personally led his troops to intercept and kill Zhao He.But things were far from Zhao Zhang's expectations. There were continuous cavalry, at least 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry, and only two roundabouts charged, and the frontier army's 6,000 cavalry were scattered in all directions.Zhao Zhang was not a general on the battlefield, so how dare he try his best to intercept and kill Zhao He? Without even thinking about it, he fled back to the Dune Palace on a flying horse, and immediately ordered the gate of the palace to be closed.
For a moment, Young Master Cheng and the chasing generals were all stunned—there is the master father Zhao Yong in the palace, but what should we do?
At this moment, Li Dui's flying horse came from the rear and shouted: "Zhao Zhang plotted rebellion, murdered the king and killed the prime minister, surrounded the palace, please master the law!"
Young Master Cheng suddenly woke up, raised his sword and shouted: "Beat the drums and surround the palace!"
All of a sudden, the drums of war were loud, and 50,000 iron cavalry spread out like a gust of wind, enclosing the Sand Dune Palace on all sides.
But it was said that Zhao Yong entered the cemetery bedroom under the Songbai Mountain forest, wandered around and arrived in front of Wu Wa's Mausoleum. It's gone... In the dimness, the sound of war drums shouting and killing suddenly burst out. Is it a dream?no!Zhao Yong suddenly turned over and jumped up, staggered and almost fell to the ground, bird!Someone really thought Zhao Yong was old?骂得一句，赵雍便飞步直奔前宫。正在此时，百骑将军迎面疾步而来：“禀报主父：行宫外两军厮杀！情由不明！”赵雍一挥手：“贼臣作乱，赵章应敌，走！”
将出陵园，却见一人浑身血迹飞奔而来，遥遥便是一声嘶喊：“主父救我！”
“章儿？”赵雍一脸怒色，“究竟何事？！”
“公子成协同赵何作乱，起兵包围行宫！”
“老匹夫！”赵雍轻蔑地冷笑一声，“随我来！”
“主父不可涉险！尔等险恶，便是要主父性命也！”赵章竟是声泪俱下。
“滚！”骤然之间，赵雍须发戟张，一脚踹开赵章，雄狮般咆哮起来，“老夫横扫千军，血流成河，何惧几个蟊贼乱臣！如此萎缩，你这狗才何以定国！”战刀一抡，赵雍便石夯般砸了出去。
行宫城堡的石门隆隆打开，百人铁骑队飓风般刮了出来钉成两列，白发苍苍的赵雍一领火红的斗篷，一支六尺长的统帅五色翎，手持那口不知砍下过多少敌酋头颅的精铁骑士战刀，雕像般沓沓走马而出，万千军兵便是一片肃然。
“公子成何在？”赵雍威严嘶哑的声音如同在幽谷回荡。
同样是白发苍苍的赵成在大旗下淡淡一笑：“老臣在此。”
“赵成，你身为王叔，借机作乱，有何面目见我赵氏列祖列宗？”赵雍战刀锵然出鞘，“我虽只有百骑，却要领教你公子成这叛军之阵……”
“主父且慢！”赵成冷冷截断，“老臣既非作乱，又何须与你厮杀？”
“大兵包围行宫，尚敢强词夺理！”
赵成哈哈大笑：“赵雍啊赵雍，你当真老迈昏聩也！”骤然又是一脸寒霜，“你的好儿子赵章，才是真正的乱臣贼子！骑士闪开，让老主父看个明白！”
车马场骑士沓沓闪开一条甬道，便见信期驾着青铜王车隆隆冲了进来，六尺伞盖下赵何的哭喊声已经扑了过来：“父王！相国被他们杀了！儿臣也被他们追杀……”哭喊声中，王车已经辚辚冲到赵雍马前半箭之地。却见赵成一挥手便带着几员大将风驰电掣般插上，长剑骤然将王车挡住：“臣启赵王：主父已无明断之能，只当在此说话，切莫近前！”赵雍打量一番，却骤然出奇地冷静下来：“何儿，便在那里说话无妨。你方才说甚？相国如何了？”
“父王！”赵何被公子成骤然一插一挡，吓得面色苍白，一开口便哇地哭了。
“赵何！”赵雍一声怒喝，“你是赵王！何事堪哭？说话！”
“是了。”赵何一抹眼泪，“主父今晨下诏召我，相国前行。我到行宫之外，相国先入。片刻之后，便闻宫门内隐隐杀声。信期护我回车，便遭宫外甲士围攻，两营铁骑也随后追杀，黑衣战死伤三十余，幸公子大父赶到……”赵何不禁又是哽咽一声。
赵雍战刀一指：“信期！赵何所言，可是事实？”
“主父明察，句句属实！相国入宫未出，可能已遭不测！”信期愤然高声。
赵雍心中猛然一沉，正要下令搜寻行宫，却闻马队后一片骚动，便见行宫总管大汗淋漓的跑了过来：“禀报主父：行宫正殿，一具无头尸身……”话未说完便急转身挥手，“快！抬过来！”几个内侍一溜飞跑便到了马前，竹榻上却是一具血糊糊的尸体。赵雍飞身下马便扑到了榻前，哗啦撕开尸体上衣，灰白的胸毛中赫然现出一片硕大的红记！
“肥义……”赵雍闷哼一声便软软地瘫倒在血糊糊的尸体上。行宫总管扑上去抱起赵雍，立即便掐住了他的人中穴。倏忽之间赵雍睁开了眼睛，嘴角抽搐着一个挺身便站了起来：“田不礼何在？”行宫总管立即答道：“安阳相在宫内护持安阳君。”赵雍对百骑将淡淡道：“去，给我拿过来。”百骑将一挥手便带着十骑飞马卷进了行宫，片刻之间便将两人带了出来。赵章面色苍白得如同远处的沙滩，脚步拖泥带水地摇晃着。田不礼却是镇静自若地走在赵章身旁，不时低声对赵章说得两句什么，来到马队前便是一躬：“安阳相田不礼参见主父。”
“田，不，礼，”赵雍冷冷一笑，齿缝的嘶嘶气息竟使镇静自若的田不礼不禁猛然一个冷颤，“肥义可是你杀？”
“正是。肥义加害安阳君……”
“奸贼！”赵雍霹雳一声大喝，那口四尺长的骑士战刀一道闪电般打下，只听“啪！”的一声大响，田不礼的半边脸便是血肉飞溅！四周骑士看得明白，这是赵雍极少使用的最残酷刀法——将战刀当做铁鞭抽打，不使你一刀便死。瞬息之间，只听啪啪连响中声声惨嚎，田不礼竟成了一具踉跄旋转的血肉陀螺！赵雍狮子般狂怒地吼叫着，手中战刀闪电连抽，不消片刻，血肉陀螺便成了四处飞散的骨肉鲜血的碎片，那个活生生能臣田不礼竟是荡然无存了！
当赵雍收回那口毫无血污依然一片寒光的骑士战刀时，赵章几乎被吓得瘫在了地上，车马场的万千骑士也无不骇然，连赵成这百战老骑士也胸口突突乱跳，纵然血战疆场杀人如麻，谁却见过如此真正血肉横飞的杀人之法了？
“肥义一死，主父方寸便乱了。公子不能手软。”李兑在赵成耳边低声说了一句。
“莫急。”赵成一摆手，“且看他如何发落赵章。”
赵雍拄着战刀一阵大喘，方才抬起头来：“公子成，以国丧之礼厚葬肥义，你可能办到？”
“只要主父秉公执法，赵国安定无乱，老臣自当遵命。”
“你，真心扶保赵何称王？”
“若有二心，天诛地灭！”
“好！”赵雍招手大喝一声，“四邑将士！听到没有？”
“听到了——！”车马场一片轰雷之声。
“老夫无忧也！”赵雍哈哈大笑回身，“赵章出来！”
瑟瑟发抖的赵章被行宫总管扶着走出了百骑马队，赵雍大皱眉头，行宫总管便放开赵章退到了一边。赵雍长叹一声：“赵章啊赵章，老夫今日才看清了你也。便要争夺王位，亦当有英雄志节！少年赵何，尚知临危拼杀。何独你多读诗书，反成如此懦夫？既为阴谋，败露却不敢担待，生子若此，老夫当真汗颜也！”赵雍又是一声沉重叹息，“你母后早死，为父便饶你家法了。然则，既为封君大臣，弑君杀相，邦国法度却是公器，为父也是无奈了。”说罢战刀一指，“公子成，安阳君交由赵王国法处置。”回身一挥手，“押过去！”
赵成便是冷笑：“赵雍啊赵雍，你至今犹想袒护这个逆子，让他死灰复燃，当真好笑也。赵王年少良善，能依法处斩乱臣贼子的兄长了？老夫已经让他回去了。法度处置，自有老夫担待。”
“公子成，你……”强雄一生的赵雍竟是张口结舌了。
“来人！”赵成一声大喝，“安阳君赵章，实为乱国元凶，弑君杀相，罪不可赦，立即斩首，以戒后来！”马下甲士轰然一应，赵章一句“主父救我”尚未落音，头颅便滚出丈许之外。
赵雍眼前一黑，一口鲜血喷出，便山一般轰隆倒地了。
行宫总管一声令下，几名内侍便将主父抱上竹榻飞快地抬进了行宫。百骑卫队也立即飓风般卷了回去，沙丘行宫的城门便隆隆关闭了。
旬日之后，赵雍才渐渐醒了过来。时当暮色，秋风打窗，院中落叶的沙沙声都听得一清二楚。这般幽静？不对，如何还有马嘶之声？主父，四邑之兵还围着沙丘宫呢。一个侍女轻柔的声音。how?他们还围着沙丘？赵雍挣扎着便要坐起，却被侍女摁住了，太医说主父血脉虚弱，忌走动。太医何在？教他前来说话。话音未落眼前便是金星乱飞，倏忽心下一凉，赵雍第一次真切感受到了虚弱两个字的味道。主父，太医他。侍女竟期期艾艾地说不下去了。太医如何了？说！老夫不治了么？赵雍最烦的便是这吞吞吐吐。No.骤然之间，侍女眼圈红了，太医已经走了。走了，何处去了？主父，侍女颤颤叫得一声，便哇地放声大哭起来。赵雍心念电闪，猛然便翻身坐起，说！What is it?
侍女断断续续地诉说如同淅沥秋雨弥漫，赵雍的心竟越来越是冰凉了。
原来，杀了赵章之后，赵成的兵马便立即四面围困了沙丘宫，断绝了进出沙丘宫的一切路口。但是，赵成的兵马却从不进入宫内，只是派人不断在各个宫门路口宣谕：出宫者一律无罪，守宫者举族连坐！旬日之间，宫中官吏骑士内侍侍女便纷纷走了，连那些老仆也在家人呼唤下走了。侍女看着苍老的赵雍愣怔的模样，竟是哭得说不下去了，主父，莫伤心，也是你大病昏迷，否则不会有人走的了。你如何没走？仿佛想起了什么，赵雍突然问了一句。美丽丰满的侍女却突然脸红了，我答应过王后，要始终追随主父的。王后？是吴娃要你跟着我？赵雍惊讶了。侍女点点头，王后临走前对小女说的。你是孟姚亲戚？赵雍问。no.侍女摇摇头。孟姚对你有恩？No.侍女又摇摇头，王后常说主父英雄，小女也跟着说，王后便问我愿不愿永远跟在主父身边？小女便说愿意，就这样。赵雍呵呵笑了，你是胡女？叫甚名字？yes.侍女点头，林胡牧羊女，叫岱云子。十二岁那年，邦国许胡人入军做骑士，族人们高兴，族长便选了我等三女献给王宫。果然，岱海胡女也。赵雍轻声叹息，那两个姐妹呢？在赵王宫里。侍女低声一句，岱云子是赵王送到主父宫的，她们两个留在了赵王身边呢。
“大草原多美啊！”赵雍由衷地感喟着，“天似穹庐，笼罩四野，苍苍茫茫，便野牛羊，处处战场。就是在那里，老夫遇上了世间最是美好的女人啊！”
大草原是好，没有人说不好呵。侍女也笑了。
姑娘，不想回大草原么？
No.侍女认真地摇摇头，我答应过王后，不作兴反悔的。
赵雍又呵呵笑了，好憨的姑娘，那也作数了？
作数的。侍女认真点头，牧人都这样，说一句算一句，刻在心里，不象王室刻在竹片上了。好呵好呵。赵雍喃喃着站了起来，王室贵胄们有竹片儿，怕人说话不作数，便要刻在竹片上。到头来呢，该忘的照忘。牧人们没有竹片，便只有刻在心里了。当忘之时，却是念念不忘。天下事，忒煞怪也！
“主父不能乱走，快来躺卧着了。”侍女过来扶住了赵雍。
赵雍猛然站住了：“姑娘，主父有令：擢升胡女岱云子为行宫密使，立即出宫，赴云中郡大将廉颇处传送密诏！”
“主父，岱云子出宫，谁来侍奉你？你一个人不怕么？”侍女惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。
赵雍呵呵笑了：“老夫杀人太多，鬼神都怕我，我却怕谁来？”说罢走到外间大书案前，岱云子连忙过来扶着他席地坐下。赵雍思忖着展开一张羊皮纸，却又突然转身，“岱云子，脱下你贴身衣衫。”岱云子顿时面色绯红，低头一声是，小女答应过王后，要给主父的。说着便脱下了那件火红的紧身胡裙，又脱下了贴身的本色苎麻小衣，雪白丰满的乳峰便突然颤巍巍贴在了赵雍眼前，“主父，这是你的。”
骤然之间，赵雍老泪纵横，一把扶起了岱云子要跪下去的身躯：“姑娘，你，你便是我的女儿！赵国公主！来，坐好了。”说着拿起那件尚留岱云子馨香体温的苎麻衫，突然一口咬破中指，在苎麻衫上写了起来。岱云子大惊失色，哭声便道：“主父不要写，疼也！”赵雍呵呵笑着：“疼？为父一生征战，三十六处刀伤在身，从来不怕肉疼，只怕心疼！”一声哽咽，却戛然打住了。
怔怔地看着鲜血淋漓的两行大字，岱云子突然放声大哭，紧紧抱住了赵雍，我不走！
“岱云子！你识得字？”赵雍惊讶了。
“王后教的。”岱云子哭声点头，“我不走！不走！”
“识得字便好。来，坐好了，听老爹说。”赵雍慈爱地拍着岱云子肩膀，扶她跪坐在身旁，“有此血诏，岱云子便是赵国公主了。愿做，你就回邯郸王宫。不愿做，你就回大草原。归总老廉颇会安顿好你的，谁也不敢欺侮你了。知道么？”赵雍依旧呵呵地笑着，“走是要走的了，你不走，谁来救老爹了？呵，对了，这里还得盖一方大印。”
“血书还盖印？”
“憨。”赵雍笑了，“血书可假，这调兵王印可无人能假。你看。”说着便在腰间大板带上一摁，一方黄澄澄的大铜印便赫然在手，“打开那只铜匣。”岱云子连忙搬过书案边一只扁平的铜匣打开，赵雍大印在匣中一拍拿出，便狠狠地摁在了苎麻衫血书的左下方空白处，“好了！一个时辰后穿上它。”岱云子扑闪着大眼：“血迹渗汗，麻衫要隔层衣裳才好，是么？”
“不。”赵雍轻轻摇手，“定要贴身，万无一失。血迹干过时辰，些许汗水岂能渗开？老夫浴血一生，憨姑娘知道甚来？”
“爹。”岱云子轻轻一声，却是泪如泉涌。
赵雍却笑了：“乖女儿，弄点儿吃的，有些饿了。”
夜半时分岱云子走了。岱云子说，旧人都是夜半出宫的。临走时岱云子又哭了，说她查勘过府库，只有一点儿粮肉，吃不到两个月，她不放心。赵雍笑了，但有两个月，廉颇边军也就到了，放心去吧。岱云子爬在地上哭声喊爹接连叩头，终是被赵雍呵斥走了。
夜色沉沉，天黑得伸手不见五指，萧萧马鸣与呼啸林涛裹着刁斗声传来，赵雍听得分外清晰。可惜也，这萧萧马鸣阵阵刁斗竟不是他的靖边大军，却是勒在自己脖颈上的绞索。细想起来，少年入军便为猛士，十六岁做太子，二十九岁上做了国君，为王二十七年，做主父四年，三十一年的君王生涯中，后十二年几乎全部在马背上征战厮杀，统率大军驰骋疆场。迄至今日，赵雍整整六十岁一个甲子，在大军中几乎浸泡了一生，对军营之声太是熟悉了。他将夜晚军营的茫茫混声叫做营涛，每每是大军扎定，他总要在深夜登上营外山头了望倾听。辽阔军营的灯火与隐隐混杂的马鸣声帐鼾声巡逻声口令声旗帜声刁斗声随风弥漫四野，总是荡起他一腔豪情，令他沉醉其中，久而久之，但听营涛之声，他便能对这支大军做出诸多评判了。目下，这行宫外的营涛声虽然与弥漫天地的林涛声交会鼓荡，赵雍还是听得出这四邑之兵的大致状况：东南两面平川沙滩，是铁骑营，西北两面山地松林，是步军营。武安铁骑是赵国精锐之一，那雄骏战马的长夜一鸣穿云破雾闪电般飞来，任是天地混沌也令人为之振奋。巨桥仓步军却是赵国武士的骄傲，那巡营甲士整齐有力的脚步声便如同石条夯地，却是夜晚军营的独特节拍，行家伏地，一听便知其军战力。可见，赵成调集的四邑之兵都是主力，而非久守一地的郡县散兵。沙丘行宫只有一个百骑队，便加上赵章的六千铁骑，也不当调集如此数万精锐大军应对啊。兵变之要，在于机密快捷。如此大张声势且久围不入，显然便是要困死他了。然则，赵成便不怕夜长梦多边军南下？这赵成究竟想做甚？
一道巨大的流星划过夜空，空旷漆黑的陵园竟是倏忽一亮！
赵雍呵呵笑了，公子成稳操胜券，偏是要在这围困沙丘行宫中一举稳定掌握赵国。看似险棋，实则老到之极。根本之处，公子成有实力，不是寻常宫变，不怕拖。再则，公子成拥立赵王正统，赵国王族便不会有反对势力出现。当然，更根本之点，是赵雍连错赵章阴谋作乱，给了公子成一党以绝好的“定国平乱”口实。最痛心的是，可力挽狂澜堪称泰山石敢当的肥义死了，肥义若在，公子成安得猖獗！如此情势，公子成便要明火执仗地昭示赵国朝野：主父昏聩，促成变乱，不堪当国，谁家不服便到沙丘宫理论！尴尬的是，连自己身边的卫士吏员仆从都逃了个精光，连肥义也惨死在自己的错失之中，雄豪一世的赵雍竟成了真正的孤家寡人。此情此景，谁人能说你赵雍还有德望足以当国了？
这便是战国了：君王果是英明，举国便死心追随。君王若是昏聩，朝野国人但有机会便弃之如履，绝不会因你曾经有过的功勋而生怜悯宽容之心。齐湣王田地被齐人千刀万剐，燕王哙被子之逼迫“禅让”而朝野听之任之，当初都曾经让赵雍心惊肉跳，曾几何时，自己竟要落得比那些昏聩君王更要狼狈的境地了？当真匪夷所思也！
No.赵雍英雄一世，何能轻易屈从于胁迫之力？赵雍不恋栈贪位，早早就让出了王位。赵雍所想，只是为了赵国强大，只要率领大军开疆拓土，岂有他哉！赵雍纵有错失，何当
