Chapter 88 The Palace of Letters of the Great Dynasty (6)
Li Dui looked at Zhao Yong and his son in the distance, and a sharpness flashed in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Look, this is just the beginning. Fei Yi is also stupid. If he agreed to the Lord's father's request today, it may not take long for the Lord's father to be alert to the eldest son. But he directly refused and replaced the fertile land of Zhongshan with a much smaller land. This action has already made the Lord's father feel dissatisfied. According to his arrogant and arrogant personality, it will only arouse the fighting spirit deep in his heart. The Lord's father will never give up. He will invite a richer reward for the eldest son, and sooner or later he will prove that he is the Lord of Zhao."
"A richer reward..." Zhao He fell into deep thought and said slowly for a long time, "What would that be? What else can be there besides that throne?" [bsp; "Who knows." Li Duosong shrugged and said with a relaxed look on his face.
"There is only one throne, but there are many people who want to sit on it. This is where the contradictions and conflicts lie. It is useless to think too much. Since you and I are ministers of the country, we should naturally put the country first. The only one who can be loyal to the current king. Brother Zhao, do you think?"
Zhao He looked at the tall and majestic figure of his master's father, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Since ancient times, no reformer who has been brave enough to break the old rules has ever had a good end. Wu Qi in front of him and Shang Yang in the back. Once he lost it, he would end up in a tragic situation without a complete body. Zhao Yong was lucky compared to them, because he himself was King Zhao and possessed the supreme royal power. As long as he was king for one day, his ministers would not dare to take the blame for the rebellion of the king.
Unfortunately, he gave up the royal power in his hands in an ingenious way, which was equivalent to handing over his wealth and life to others, which was a great failure in his life.
It was a blessing for the Zhao family to win the father and a disaster for the Zhao family. As a member of the Zhao family, he could only start from the interests of the family.
His eyes looked at the figure of his son Zhao Xin next to his father, and he couldn't help but smile. He hadn't seen his son for more than five months, his figure became much thicker and his temperament became much more mature and steady, which made him feel quite relieved. Zhao Xin made many great achievements in the army and was highly appreciated by his father. At a young age, he actually took up the position of Yuling Duwei and became the most favored general around his father. After the news was sent back to Handan, Zhao He was truly proud of his son's success. At the same time, he began to worry that if Li Dui expected to achieve it, then Zhao Xin would not be affected by the fish of the pond after being around him, and if he was not careful, he would be implicated.
However, from a different perspective, Zhao Xin can get the favor of his master's father, which is a choice for his family. In this way, no matter whether the master's father wins or the royal party wins, he always bets on both sides. No matter who wins, he will have a way out. It is better than taking the risk of investing in one party. If he makes a mistake, the whole family will be in danger.
Li Dui followed Zhao He's gaze and smiled at Zhao Xin's figure, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Xin'er looks a lot older, her skin is a little tanned, and she's so energetic when she goes up to see her. It seems that the army is indeed the best place to train people. When I think of the waste in my house, I feel upset. If I had known that I would have made up my mind to throw him into the army."
Speaking of this, Li Dui couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said with a hatred. Zhao He knew that he was talking about his son Li Qian, so he comforted him, "Qian'er is already good, you don't have to be so unsatisfied. You see, among his peers, he was promoted the fastest. He was the magistrate of the house in his early twenties and became the magistrate of the house. How many people can do it at this age?"
Li Dui snorted coldly and said with a somewhat ugly expression, "Don't mention this rebellious son to me. If it weren't for his mother who died early, I would have cut off the father-son relationship with him. He hasn't returned home for four years since he left home. What's the point of saying that such a disobedient son is for him?"
Li Dui scolded his son, but Zhao Hedao couldn't say anything, but just smiled from the side, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "I heard from Xiangbang last night that a group of officials in Handan wanted to go out from the outside world, and many seats were vacant. The junior doctor Yan Zhuo was going to Lingshou as an order. The vacant seat wanted to select one person from various talents to take over. I think Qian'erdao meets the conditions."
The responsibilities of the Zhongda Doctor Yanshu were the water construction project in the court. Although it was not a critical position, his status was not low, far better than the county magistrate of the small county. Li Dui's face moved and he pondered, "Who is there a candidate in Feiyi's heart?"
Zhao He shook his head, "It shouldn't be decided yet, Yan Zhu hasn't set off to take office yet."
Li Dui nodded thoughtfully, but stopped talking. Zhao He looked at it from the side and couldn't help but smile. Although Li Dui was so heartless, he couldn't let go of his eldest son in his heart.
Although Li Dui had many children, only Li Qian was the only one who had a real prospect. When he was only fourteen years old, he was recommended by his master and was selected as a "talent". As the envoy of King Zhao, he went deep into the people to collect advice for King Zhao, and also had the responsibility of supervising the matter. He could investigate what officials did and wrote to King Zhao directly. At the same time, as a reserve candidate for officials, he would just wait for the older one to replace the vacant officials, which would have a bright future.
The job of "Juncai" sounds good to be the special envoy of King Zhao, but in fact no one would do such thankless and offensive things. Most of them were quietly waiting for the vacant substitution. But Li Qian was not such a person. He really went around to investigate the people's sentiments and tried his best to write articles to criticize the current ills and presented them to King Zhao Yong. Li Dui also favored his son very much, so he let him travel around.
When they got married in a small town, Li Qian unexpectedly heard something. It turned out that the disciple ordered Zhao Ran to fall in love with the daughter of a small family in his fiefdom and wanted to take her as a concubine, but the woman had already betrothed to the man from the neighbor's house. Zhao Ran threatened and tempted the woman to repent and marry her daughter to herself as a concubine. However, the woman was extremely strong and was so embarrassed that she was so angry that she hanged herself after remorse. The woman's family naturally refused and ran to Zhao Ran's door to seek justice. Zhao Ran was angry and actually asked someone to beat the woman's family out of sticks. The woman's father was even older and was beaten to one, which became a tragedy that was widely circulated in the local area.
Li Qian was young and energetic, and his personality was very different from his father's smoothness. He was honest and had a sense of justice since he was a child. He was most disgusted with these unfair things. After hearing this, he was naturally furious and shouted that he should be killed. After collecting evidence from the people, he directly submitted a report to Zhao Yong, the King of Zhao Yong at that time. Zhao Yong naturally would not ask about such trivial matters personally, so he was transferred to Siko Li Dui for handling.
Zhao Ran was nothing, but his cousin was Gongzicheng, and his relationship was very good. If Li Du dared to deal with Zhao Ran, it would inevitably arouse Gongzicheng's dissatisfaction, and even the entire prince's tribe. So Li Du neither investigated or tried the case, but had just been spent there and planned to leave it alone.
Li Qian refused to give up when he left, and kept urging his father to investigate the case every day. Finally, he discovered Li Dui's intentions. He was furious and started a big quarrel with his father in public. Li Dui is also a stubborn person. He has always been arbitrary at home. How could his son suffer such a loss of his face? He fought and beat Li Qian to death in anger and drove him out of the house. Li Qian was also a stubborn person. From then on, he no longer stepped into the house and just lived alone outside.
Although Li Dui refused to admit it on his face, he felt a little regretful, but he couldn't let go of his pride and reconciled with his son. He secretly let Li Qian take the vacancy early and become an official in another place. Li Qian is also a very talented person. After three years as the county magistrate, he became the county magistrate of Fangzi with Wengong.
Zhao He deliberately made this news in front of Li Dui this time, just to let Li Dui transfer Li Qian back to Handan through operation. After all, the two of them have deep father-son relationships and cannot have an unsolvable hatred. Working together in the court, the knot will sooner or later be opened.
Thinking of this, Zhao He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin beside his father again, thinking that this kid is getting more and more courageous. He has already come back to Handan and has not come to pay his respects to his father, but he still looks as if nothing has happened.
