Chapter 16 Son
When Zheng Zhu stood at the gate of Fan Sui’s house and laughed, Zhao Dan, who was far away in Handan, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Father, Father!" In the garden of Zhao Palace, a boy with a strong childish look on his face followed a boy, ran towards Zhao Dan, completely ignoring the shouts of the harem people in the harem.
Zhao Dan turned around and saw this scene. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. After the boy ran to him with a boy, he scolded the two with a smile: "I run so fast, I'm not afraid of falling!"
This boy is Zhao Yan, the second son born by Queen Zhao for Zhao Dan, and is six years old this year.
The boy who came with the boy was Zhao Yan's elder brother, Zhao Dan's ten-year-old eldest son Zhao Heng.
To be honest, when Zhao Dan saw these two sons for the first time after traveling through time, he felt a little weird and awkward. After all, these two sons were born to "that Zhao Dan". He always felt like he was taking over Xi as a father...
But after all, Zhao Dan now integrates the memories of two Zhao Dan, and his body is also the body of the original Zhao Dan. In addition, every time he sees his two sons, the fatherly love from the bottom of his heart in Zhao Dan's heart is like a tide.
So after a few days, Zhao Dan completely accepted the fatherly setting and entered the role. After all, from the perspective of blood, the two sons are indeed 100% of Zhao Dan's sons.
Zhao Dan first laughed with his younger son Zhao Yan for a few words, then turned his head to his eldest son Zhao Heng, and smiled and said, "Heng'er, you must bring Yan'er out to play more in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhao Heng nodded immediately after hearing this, "Vei."
Zhao Dan’s advice was really not just a casual statement.
In the early days of Zhao Dan's father, King Huiwen of Zhao, in power, the former crown prince Zhao Zhang, unwilling to fail, launched a coup and killed Fei Yi, the prime minister of Zhao at that time. Later, King Huiwen of Zhao led his army to suppress the rebellion with the support of Siko Li Dui and Gongzicheng, and suppressed the coup.
During this coup, King Wuling of Zhao, who was in a state of life, was starved to death in the dune palace because of sheltering Zhao Zhang. A large number of outstanding generals and officials of Zhao State, including Le Yi, Zhao She, and other large numbers of outstanding Zhao State generals and officials, ran away from Yan State for fear of crime, resulting in a large loss of talents from Zhao State and greatly damaged the strength of Zhao State.
This is the most famous "Sand Dune Palace Change" in the history of Zhao State.
It was precisely because of the lessons learned from the Sha Dune Palace Transformation that King Huiwen of Zhao later was very good to his own brothers, such as Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao also woke up each other and supported allegiance to their monarch and brothers. This support and allegiance did not change at all until his nephew Zhao Dan took office.
After Zhao Dan ascended the throne, he also followed the wishes of his father, King Zhao Huiwen. Although he did not value his brothers, he was at least quite friendly to these brothers.
Historically, since the Sha Dune Palace changed, almost every generation had to kill each other in order to seize the throne and did not compete for the throne until Qin Shihuang destroyed the throne. This shows how profound the kings of Zhao of the subsequent dynasties had a deep understanding of this matter and how they tried their best to guard against it.
To avoid such brotherly conflicts, cultivating relationships between brothers from childhood is actually a low-cost, high-reward, and quite effective method.
Therefore, Zhao Dan was very happy to see the situation where Zhao Heng and Zhao Yan’s two sons were friendly and respectful.
In fact, Zhao Dan has now decided on his heir after his death, and that is the eldest son Zhao Heng.
In history, because Qin State detained Zhao Heng in Xianyang, the second son Zhao Yan was the one who inherited the throne of Zhao Dan. However, after returning to the country, Zhao Heng not only did not compete with his younger brother for the throne, nor did he take back the throne when his nephew was young after his younger brother's death, but instead assisted his nephew with all his heart, which shows that the eldest son is gentle and kind.
Such a gentle and generous heir was exactly what Zhao Dan wanted to see.
In fact, the name Zhao Heng was actually changed to his eldest son a few days ago after traveling through time. The source of the word "heng" actually comes from an emperor who is also considered very famous in history, that is, Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, who founded the "Wenjing Reign".
Zhao Dan hopes that his eldest son can be a benevolent and wise king like Liu Heng.
In Zhao Dan's opinion, he must unify the world like Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, in his lifetime. Then it is actually a very necessary thing to choose a kind heir who knows how to rest and rest as well as Liu Bang's son Liu Heng.
This is actually Zhao Dan's confidence. If Zhao Dan feels that he cannot unify the world, then Zhao Dan must cultivate a heir like Qin Shihuang Zhao Zheng. After all, it is difficult for a benevolent king to play in such a great struggle in the late Warring States Period.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted Zhao Dan's thoughts, and a knight galloped towards Zhao Dan from the grass in the distance.
Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and held the hands of his two sons on the left and right: "Come on, let the father take you to see some new things."
Although the palace city in Handan is not large compared to Guocheng, and its area is about one-quarter or even less, considering that Guocheng needs to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and the palace city only lives with Zhao Dan's family, the area of this palace city is actually very luxurious.
The average living area of his family is calculated based on how many square meters. Zhao Dan is better, the average living area of his family is calculated based on square kilometers...
Therefore, the garden surface of this palace city is almost as strong as a small pasture. It not only has water, grass, flowers and birds, but also raises some small wild beasts such as rabbits to hunt in Zhao Dan in his spare time. It is completely a camping resort that later generations dream of.
But Zhao Dan did not come to camp today. Now Changping is having a life-and-death battle that concerns the fate of Zhao. Even if Zhao Dan is so angry, he will not relax at this time.
Zhao Dan came here today, actually for a few extremely important things, and these things are now equipped on the galloping knight mount.
A moment later, the knight rode his horse to Zhao Dan and pulled the reins hard.
"Well!" The horse's front hooves rose up and then stopped steadily.
Zhao Dan smiled on his face and praised the horse knight: "My uncle is so handsome, he is indeed as handsome as before, and he is not as good as before."
The knight immediately laughed and jumped off the horse and bowed to Zhao Dan: "How dare Sheng be the king so ridiculous?"
That's right, this knight in Hu's uniform is nothing else, but Zhao Sheng, the current Xiangbang of Zhao State, who is already in his forties.
Although Zhao Sheng has many shortcomings, one thing is very good, that is, King Huiwen's younger brother, who is extremely loyal to the two generations of Zhao kings, King Huiwen and Zhao Dan, can definitely be called loyal and unparalleled.
Therefore, even after Zhao Dan, who traveled through time, rejected Zhao Sheng's suggestion to exchange Zhao Kuo for Lian Po, his trust in Zhao Sheng did not decrease at all.
It is precisely because Zhao Dan dared to find his uncle in this top-secret matter today, because this fact is of great importance and must be kept strictly confidential, and Zhao Sheng is the best candidate for confidentiality.
If Zhao Sheng could leak the secret, the sun would really come out from the west.
So after a few jokes with Zhao Sheng, Zhao Dan reached out and patted the horse Zhao Sheng had just ridden and asked, "Uncle, how effective is this set of horse harness?"
That's right, what Zhao Dan asked Zhao Sheng to experience today was this set of horse harnesses that had just been released. This set of horse harnesses contains two things that were enough to change the history of Earth War in the feudal era. These two things are—
Saddle, and stirrups!
