Chapter 150: Torrents (9)

The night was as bright as water, and the stars were everywhere. The two boys were lying quietly on the roof, thinking about their own thoughts, as if they had a tacit understanding. No one spoke to break the rare tranquility, but just looked at the starry sky quietly.

It was probably because he had been quiet for too long, and Zhao Xin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao He, but found that he also looked at him with his eyes wide open.[]

Zhao He finally spoke first, "What are you thinking?"

Zhao Xin shrugged and said indifferently, "I'm just thinking about it, what else can I think, I'm a little sleepy. If the king hadn't called me, I would have almost fallen asleep."

Zhao He smiled and said, "My father is right, you are indeed an interesting person."

Zhao Xin heard Zhao He talk about his master's father's evaluation of him more than once, and couldn't help asking, "Does he often mention me?"

Zhao He nodded and said, "At that time, when my father was fighting outside, he often wrote me letters, and he often mentioned you, saying that you were very polite and temperament. It can be seen that my father likes you very much."

Zhao Xin smiled and said sincerely, "Actually, the Lord Father is a very easy person to get along with. He has no airs and no need to serve him. I didn't have any hard work at all when I was with him. Instead, I learned a lot of useful things."

Zhao He showed a longing look in his eyes, and then he said for a while; "Actually, I really envy you."

"I envy me?" Zhao Xin was silent and stretched his waist long and said with a smile. "King, if you say this, you may laugh out loud. You must know that you are the dignified king of Zhao. He is irritated by millions of corpses and blood. The life, death, honor and disgrace of Zhao people is determined by your own hands. Look at me, every day, it seems to be a glorious thing, but it is actually a matter of running errands and doing odd jobs. From time to time, some people want to ride on my head to shit. What do you envy me, a little captain, for doing?"

When Zhao He heard Zhao Xin say something interesting, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you talking about Anpingjun oppressing your family? That's right. My uncle has always been a hot temper. Even my father and I have to give him three points, let alone you."

Zhao Xin curled his lips and said, "So don't be joking with me, what do you envy me for doing?"

Zhao He stopped smiling, his face was a little dim, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "I am not envious of this, I am envious of you for being able to stay by your father's side and get his favor and care."

After saying that, Zhao He stood up and walked forward a few steps, Zhao Xin also stood up.

"Zhao Xin, do you know? Every time I see my father praise you in my letter, I wish I could be you, instead of sitting on a throne high and listening to the quarrels of the people below. I don't like being the King of Zhao at all, I don't like it at all. I never thought of being the King of Zhao. It was my father who forced me to put me on the throne, but now I hate me because of this!"

Speaking of this, Zhao He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was already choked in his words, his face looked aggrieved, and he had already talked about the emotional excitement. He looked at Zhao Xin again and said, "Zhao Xin, do you know why my father admires you so much?"

Zhao Xin was curious about him and asked according to his words, "Why?"

"Because you look very much like him." Zhao He smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.

"This is what the master told me. He said that you are almost exactly the same as your father when he was young, and you are not afraid of heaven or earth, and you are always restless. I think your father must be very disappointed with me and my elder brother, so he will see his shadow in you when he was young."

Zhao Xin looked at Zhao He's somewhat lonely smile, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the King of Zhao, who seemed weak but had to carry the burden that ordinary people could not imagine. On his shoulders was the burden of the entire Zhao State, tens of thousands of miles of territory, more than four million people, and a powerful Zhao State full of vitality and flourishing.

So he did not dare to slack off at all. He was a conscientious learner to govern the country every day, and dealt with government affairs of all sizes in every detail. At this age, most of the ordinary noble children were just busy playing around every day. But even so, he still could not get the satisfaction of his most beloved father.

In fact, the meaning of Fei Yi and Zhao He is very obvious, that is, the master's father has been entangled in "a son is not as good as a father", so he favors Zhao Xin, a teenager with nothing but a very similar temperament. Zhao Zhang's courage and Zhao He's intelligence also won his favor, but it seemed that his temperament was divided into two completely unconnected parts. The two sons each inherited one part, but they were like water and fire.

Zhao Zhang is a qualified general, strong but a little reckless; while Zhao He is a qualified king, Qingming is a little weak. Compared with their father, the two of them are much less, which has become the biggest regret of the master's father. He wanted to find someone who could inherit his career completely, and although his two sons were outstanding, they still lacked something in his heart.

Therefore, the master father divided his career into two parts, allowing his eldest son Zhao Zhang to lead the army outside to fight, and Zhao He became king in the court. He originally wished that as long as the two brothers were close and united, he would be able to inherit his career completely. Zhao State had maintained a thriving stage. However, he finally ignored people's selfishness. As the deposed eldest son, Zhao Zhang could not be willing to be a minister at the knees of his young brother. Zhao He, who grew up, would never feel at ease with his brother who had heavy troops leading the army outside.

Zhao Xin actually understood all these things in his heart. He followed the Lord's father for many days, and he did not deliberately avoid him in daily affairs. He had already noticed clues from some clues. In addition, he had been influenced by the palace in the past few months and his father's repeated warnings, so he could not see the situation clearly. But he did not expect that the relationship between the father and son would suddenly become stale due to the incident of Anyang Jun returning to the court.

Looking at Zhao He's somewhat lonely back, his thin body looked extremely thin in the night wind, but he still stubbornly straightened his body and looked up at the starry sky with his head raised. At this moment, a heart suddenly flashed through Zhao Xin's heart.

Even if he is in the throne and Jiuwu, he may not be happy in his heart. As the lord of Zhao State, he can determine his life and death with one word and have supreme royal power, but he is still an ordinary person and cannot escape the shackles of family affection. Just like Zhao He, everything he did since he ascended the throne was nothing more than trying to get the praise of his father through his own efforts, and that's all. Now he has gradually gotten used to this role, but at this time his father suddenly began to change his mind, which made him a little at a loss.

Zhao He looked into the distance and spoke for a long time. "So Zhao Xin, I said that I envy you very much. You can be by your father's side and get his favor. Do you know how envious I am every time my father praises you? I can see that every time he says you, he is actually very disappointed with me. He wants me to be the kind of person he wants, but I can't do it."

Zhao Xin comforted softly, "Your Majesty, the Lord Father still loves you very much. I have been by his side for so long. What he told me the most is about you. No matter how busy he is in every march, he will write letters to General Han to send you every five days, and never stops."

"But the father no longer loves me anymore." Zhao He clenched his fists and said with sadness, "He now just treats me as a stumbling block, treats me as his opponent, not his son who loves his most. Zhao Xin, do you know that every day, many people keep saying bad things about the father in front of me, saying that he wants to depose me and lock me up, saying that he wants to be King Zhao again, and even the master told me that the father wants to deal with me and ask me to be careful."

"I don't understand what I did wrong. My father wanted to treat me like this. He asked me to be the King of Zhao, so I did it. In order to meet his requirements, I have slept very late every day and got up very early every day. I have done two things every day, reading and reading memorials, and I don't even have a chance to be lazy. But I have done this. Why is his father not satisfied? Now my eldest brother hates me, and my father no longer likes me. I am around me all day long to remind me to be careful of my father and my eldest brother. I am afraid, really scared, and I don't know how things will turn out like this. Why do you think this is?"

Zhao Xin looked at Zhao He who was already in tears, but didn't know what to say. He just stood by silently, watching King Zhao who was lofty in the daytime exposing his fragility without any concealment.

In fact, he was also very confused. He suddenly realized that the crisis in Zhao was far higher than his expectation. The conflict between his father, King He and Zhao, was deteriorating, and seemed to have reached an irreconcilable level. The inspiration of Anyang Jun and all the ministers and ministers undoubtedly had an unnegligible role.

In this way, the two of them stood quietly on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking about their own thoughts, and before they knew it, the moon had set and the stars had sink, and it was getting closer to the middle of the night.

Zhao He had returned to his previous expression at this time, and his tears had already been blown dry by the wind. He turned around and looked at Zhao Xin and smiled, "Thank you for accompanying me."

Zhao Xin smiled, not too polite, but just said with a smile, "The king is serious, I want to thank you for trusting me so much."

Zhao He smiled slightly and said, "I heard from my father that you are a very good person. I think your father's vision will not be deviated, so I naturally trust you very much. But I don't want my father to know what I say to you today. Can you do it?"

Zhao Xin bowed and said, "The last general will never say it, so the king can rest assured."
