Spring and Autumn I Am King

At the end of the hall, everyone dispersed, only one old man and one young man stood outside. Fu Sou looked at the looming full moon tonight, sighed, and talked about Zhishi's past. 【Full text read..】

"The Zhi clan was originally a small clan of the Xun clan. The first generation of the patriarch was Zhi Zhuangzi, and the first to rise to power was Zhi Wuzi. After Zhi Wuzi, two successive generations of Zhi clan (Zhi Shuo and Zhi Ying) died early. After the death of Zhimiaozi, Duke Ping of Jin planned to arrange his cronies to join the ranks of the six ministers, but he gave up because of the opposition of the Bank of China Muzi, so he appointed Zhisong, the son of Zhiying, to replace his father. Zhisong was only 15 years old at that time, and he was expelled from the country about the same age.”

"Although the Zhi clan managed to keep a position as a minister in the state of Jin, but their strength has been hovering at the bottom, and they are powerless to control the country's grand plans, and they are always worried that the family's position will be removed. But now forty Years have passed, but the Zhi clan has quietly grown stronger, not only surpassing Wei and Han, but even reaching the level of a family of thousands of rides that rivals Zhao, Fan, and Bank of China, don't you think it's unbelievable for a gentleman?"

Wu Xie said: "It's really strange. I don't know about Zhibo's resume very well. I just think that he is a mystery. He looks mediocre on the outside, but the inside is not the end of the dragon. Please ask the gentleman to explain my confusion."

Fu Sou looked solemn, obviously deeply afraid of Zhisong.

"Zhibo, in general, is like a poisonous snake dormant in the deep grass. He seldom shoots, and he will definitely hit!"

...

"The old man is the same age as Zhibo, and he has seen his life in his eyes, so his feelings are clearer than that of a gentleman or even a lord. In the more than thirty years before Zhibo came to power, he rarely appeared in the sight of the people of the country, whether it was The filth between Han Xuanzi and Bank of China Muzi, the open and secret struggle between Wei Xianzi and Fan Yang, and the impact of the lord on Fan Yang's power, the court and political disputes are full of rage, but there is no shadow of Zhibo in it. At least the old officials can catch it. It's only once!"

"This time, Zhibo just whispered a few words in the ear of the monarch, and combined with the Wei clan's tricks, it caused the destruction of the Qi clan and the Yang Tong clan, the two centuries-old families of doctors. This is self-defeating soldiers. After the meeting, the most significant event of Jin State in the decades, it can be seen that Zhibo's style of shooting is: few, steady, accurate, and ruthless!"

Through Fu Sou, Zhao Wuxi gradually recognized Zhisong's position. Once this happened, he felt that the person's thoughts were unfathomable: "Now, Zhishi still hasn't made a move."

Fu Sou angrily knocked the dove stick on the ground: "Yes, it has been almost four years since Zhisong came to power, and in external affairs, he has been pushing the Zhao family out, making the Zhao family a rival to Qi. , Wei, he continued to conquer the Rong and Di to accumulate strength for the family. Internally, he courted the monarch in Xintian, and was deeply trusted. Fan and Bank of China are already powerful, but Zhibo is sitting high in the ruling position, respecting the monarch and making all the ministers.

"Is Uncle Zhi up for sale? Or, do you want to continue to be an arbiter?" Zhao Wuxi remembered that in history, the Zhi clan played such a role, contributing little in the war, but benefiting the most. Too bad he doesn't know much about the details.

Fu Sou smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, although the Zhao clan has grown several times stronger under the leadership of the lord and the gentleman, in the end, the old ministers cannot help but admire Zhibo, at least within the state of Jin, Zhanhe's initiative is still firmly grasped. in his hands."

"Then Zhiguo and Zhiyao came here this time to congratulate and claim to have brought Zhishi's friendship. What's the plan? Did Zhibo see that Zhao, Wei and Han were powerful and wanted to favor this side?" Che remembered that the Zhi family eventually joined the Zhao family in history, but the Zhao family paid a huge price for this: Dong Anyu's life!

It is not easy to make a deal with a cunning poisonous snake, and you have to be on guard against being bitten at all times.

Sure enough, Fu Sou said: "I don't think so. Zhibo's methods should not only look at the surface, but also guard against backhands. Birds, I know they can fly; fish, I know they can swim; beasts, I know they can walk. .Walkers can be ignorant, wanderers can be Lun, flyers can be 簰. As for the dragon, I don't know... The gentleman may not know, Zhibo once visited the wise Laozi in Chengzhou, learned his way and used it in government , Now it seems that he has indeed learned the essence..."

This guy is really hard to deal with! Zhao Wuxi also felt a bit of a toothache. When dealing with Fan and Bank of China, he could use force to destroy them, but Zhi Shi and Zhi Bo showed no signs of premature death and were still in good health. He firmly controlled the Jin Dynasty in the Xiqi Palace. Hou, occupying the legal position of commanding the three armies and the people of the country, the five ministers are all trying to win over the Zhi clan to join their side...

But the sword in Zhishi's hand did not fall.

Once it falls, the outcome of the war can be decided!

Master, this is the master of trickery in this era. It seems that he doesn't do anything, but it can make you avoid the mouse. What Ji Sunsi and Le Daxin, compared to Zhibo, have become ridiculous boys imitating adults' intrigue.

But even if he hated his teeth, he couldn't ignore Zhishi's existence. Zhao Wuxi only hated that he was not strong enough to break tricks with his strength.

He suddenly had a plan in his mind, pointed to the distant backs of the guests and said, "Zhiguo is the son of Zhibo, and Zhiyao is his beloved grandson. If you detain these two, can you threaten Zhishi's submission?"

Zhi Boyao, Zhao Xiangzi's fateful enemy, Zhao Wuxi's killing intent towards him has never disappeared from beginning to end!

...

"If this is the case, Zhibo will not have any hesitation, he will immediately join Fan and Bank of China, declare Zhao's chief culprit, and launch the Chinese to attack it!"

Fu Shou shattered Zhao Wuxi's imagination, and said decisively: "Zhibo is careful, the Zhiguo sent this time is not his son-in-law, and Zhiyao, although famous, is not his grandson. The recognized heir of the three generations is Zhi Xiao..."

The old fox who arranged everything flawlessly... Zhao Wuxi was silent, well, there is no solution.

He said weakly: "It's windy outside, let's go back to the hall first, I don't know what conditions Zhiguo made to my father."

Seeing that Zhao Wuchen was a little frustrated, Fu Sou couldn't help but say something comforting: "Although Zhishi is dangerous and cunning, the gentleman and Wei and Han have become brothers with different surnames, but it is also a good move. In this way, the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han will be closer. Even if the Zhi clan falls to Fan and Zhongxing, we can still be evenly matched. But now, we should try our best to agree to their conditions, and it’s better to make a fool of yourself with them first.”

Without a shirt and nodding, the Zhi clan's territory was mostly in the Rong and Di lands west and north of Taihang, and had little influence on the east of Taihang. Therefore, the best way is to deceive them into neutrality after the war begins, and then let Han and Wei contain Fan and Zhonghang's forces in the west of Taihang, while the Zhao family gathers Song and Lu to annihilate the main forces of Fan and Zhonghang east of Taihang. In this way, no matter how cunning the Zhi family is, they are powerless to return to heaven!

When Zhao Wuxi helped Fu Sou to return to the hall, the burnt out lamps and candles had already been replaced. The servants and the people stood by tremblingly, and a few were still kneeling on the floor to clean up the broken pieces. Porcelain pot, it can be seen that someone has made a fire here.

Zhao Yang lost his previous joy, he sat quietly behind the case, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was tangled, and he didn't know whether he was resting or thinking about a problem. Yang Hu and Yang Yin sat beside him.

"Father?" Zhao Wuxi had doubts in his heart~www.readwn.com~ stepped forward and saluted.

However, Zhao Yang slowly opened his eyes and said, "You're back? Zhiguo sent a copy of Zhibo's handwritten silk book..."

"He said that he was old, and he didn't want to involve his clan in the war. In a few years, he could even learn from Fan Wuzi and let him go to the government in advance. He also hoped that when I became a general in the army, I would be able to take good care of the descendants of the Zhi clan."

"Zhibo would actually say such a thing?"

Zhao Wuxi was stunned, and Fu Sou looked at each other in dismay.

Zhao Yang looked embarrassed again, "But! As a price, Zhibo also wants to get some promises from the Zhao family, as well as hostages."

Zhao Wuxi understood that Zhao Yang was the one who was the least willing to be coerced and paid the price, and the anger just now was caused by this.

Zhao Yang stared at Zhao Wuxi and said, "Zhi Bo promises that if the Zhao clan announces that the East and West Zhao will be divided into two branches from now on, you will never return to Jin without pity. If your elder sister Ji Ying can marry the Zhi clan. The grandson Zhixiao, the Zhao clan, can use the in-laws as a bond to gain the friendship of the Zhi clan!"
