Chapter 188 Walking on Thin Ice (18)
Zhao He looked slightly at the master's father and said, "Please speak with your father, my son listen carefully."
"The land of Zhongshan has not been recovered for a long time. Because it is located in the north, it is close to Yan State and is far away from Handan, and is inconvenient to management. In addition, there are many people in Bai Di and many people who are not connected with Zhao people, so I feel that it should be imitated that a Zhongshan prime minister should be established to temporarily manage the new land of Zhongshan for the king. What do you think?"
Although it was just an inquiry, there was no controversy in his tone. This was very consistent with Zhao Yong's usual style, and it was no wonder that the ministers saw it too much.
Zhao He and Fei Yi looked at each other, but did not see the intention of dissuasion in his eyes, so they nodded, "If the father thinks it is appropriate, then do it like this, my son has no objection."
After all, Zhongshan land is the newly acquired place of the master's father. Whether the troops stationed by the governing officials are all from the direct line of the master's father. Therefore, whether or not the Zhongshan prime minister is not very meaningful to Zhao He, he simply follows the master's father's wishes and avoids quarrels with him.
"I just don't know who the father wants?" Zhao He glanced at the father's expression and asked carefully.
"The Prime Minister Zhao Gu governed the Dai land for several years and was quite effective. I want to regard him as the Prime Minister of Zhongshan and as the Minister of the Lower Master. What do you think?" Zhao Yong looked at Zhao He and said.
"The father is thoughtful, but the son has no objection." Zhao He bowed slightly and said.
Zhao Gu was the Prime Minister of the Dynasty for seven years and made great contributions to the attack and destruction of Zhongshan Kingdom. Now he has moved to Zhongshan Prime Minister, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.
Zhao Yong nodded after hearing this, "That's it. Zhao Gu was promoted to Prime Minister of Zhongshan, and Zhongshan acquired twenty-four cities under his jurisdiction. As for the position of Prime Minister, there was Sima Tian in Zhang'er's army who was not polite to serve."
Seeing that the master's father suddenly mentioned this person, Zhao He was shocked and hesitated for a while before saying, "The father's words about Sima Tian's inappropriateness can be in the court."
The Lord Father looked at His Highness, and Tian Buli stood up from the end of the team, bowed and bowed, "See Lord Father, the King."
Zhao He looked at him up and down, and saw that he looked calm, decent, and looked like a well-educated person, his impression of him was a little better. He nodded slightly and said, "You are just Tian Buli."
"Return to the king, the humble position is the injustice of Sima Tian in the army."
"I heard that you are dealing with all the current affairs in the country. You have helped a lot with your military and political affairs."
Tian Buli was slightly stunned, thinking that King Zhao had noticed him, and it seemed that he had also monitored Anyang Jun. He hurriedly replied to thank him, "Thank you for your praise. I have only done my duty, so why bother with me."
Zhao He smiled and said meaningfully, "I would like to say that the king is loyal to the king. Tian Sima should keep this in mind, that is, to eat Zhao ministers, and should remind himself at all times with this encouragement."
Zhao He seems to be a common saying, but there is something in his words. People with a heart may not be difficult to hear and speak the implicit sounds.
Tian Buli naturally would not be unable to hear the meaning of King Zhao's words. He looked up slightly, but saw Zhao Hezheng looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemingly pointing. He hurriedly calmed down and replied respectfully, "I should remember the teachings of the king in a close way, and I dare not go beyond the limit."
But he secretly cried out in his heart. He had always heard that King Zhao was smart and had a kingly aura since he was a child. At first, he didn't agree. He thought that no matter how powerful a child in his early fifteens could be, he was just a puppet at the mercy of others. His opponents were the mature and persistent Fei Yi and the ulterior motives of Gongzi Cheng, Li Dui and others.
When I saw it today, I found that the rumors were not false. Although Zhao He was young, he spoke calmly and acted appropriately. Every word and action was like a king. His words were also tepid, and he could hit his subordinates until he was lit, which made people dare not underestimate him.
In comparison, the master's aura is too heavy. Although he is a great man of a generation, he looks not like a king, but like a decisive and resentful person who wants to fight against others. Zhao Zhang is even worse than the two of them. He is not as brave as the master's father, nor as calm and decent as Zhao He's calmness.
To be fair, Zhao He is the most suitable person to be the King of Zhao among the father and son. He practices a stable kingly way, while the master's father practices a very different domineering manner. As for Zhao Zhang, he is only a general.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhang was in his hands.
Zhao He seemed to have no dissatisfaction with Tian Buli, but his words implied to knock, which made Tian Buli put away his underestimation. He saw him looking at his master's father and said, "Father, Sima Tian does have real talents, but he may have a little too shallow qualifications. The Prime Minister is an important position in my Zhao State, and it may be criticized for his rash promotion."
The Lord Father lay leaning against the imperial throne, stretched his waist long, narrowed his eyes and said, "The king is too worried. Your father has always used his talents only. As for qualifications, they are useless things."
"Fei Yi, let me tell Wang'er, what position did you have when I promoted you to Sikong?"
The master father looked at Fei Yi and asked with a smile. Fei Yi bowed with a little embarrassed look, "I was the servant of the disciple at that time."
The subordinates of the disciples were one of the officials of the prince, who was responsible for the cleaning of the carriages and horses that the prince relied on. He was not even considered an official, but he was just a minor official. Now Fei Yi was the prime minister and the father suddenly asked about this matter, which undoubtedly made Fei Yi feel a little embarrassed.
The meaning of this is naturally self-evident. A follower of the disciple can be promoted to Sikong and then become a prime minister. Sima in the army is considered a top official, so why can't he be the prime minister?
The master father looked at Zhao He and asked with a smile: "Wang'er, do you have any doubts?"
Zhao He said with a hint of grin, "Father, you are too careful. My son just talks casually and has no intention of objection. Then everything will follow the father's wishes."
The Lord's father nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Tian Buli and said, "Is it better to thank you."
Tian Buli forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a trembling tribute. "I thank the Lord's Father, thank the King."
The Lord Father laughed, stood up and pressed the sword: "Today's affairs are over. Since there is nothing to do, then leave the court."
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but heard a man behind him suddenly shouting, "The Lord, the father, stay, but I have nothing to report."
The Lord Father stopped and turned around, looked at Li Dui and frowned and said coldly, "Li Dui, what else do you have?"
Compared with Prince Cheng of Feiyi, the master's father hated Li Dui even more. What he hated most in his life was a person who forgot his righteousness when he saw profit and changed his mind when he was in the wind. This was the reason why he valued Li Dui at the beginning was mainly because Li Dui was a person who knew the general. The Li family had always been obedient under his governance and did not interfere in the reform. In addition, Li Dui was indeed very talented, had excellent connections in the court, and was respectful and obedient to himself, so he promoted him to the Grand Secretary and entrusted him with important tasks.
When Li Dui was Siko, he did obey orders respectfully and did not have any conflicts with his master's father. However, when his master's father abdicated, his attitude changed rapidly, and he got involved with Gongzi Cheng and became one of the core members of the royal party. Not only did he gradually get away from his master's father, he even held a clear opposition in the court.
Although Gongzicheng has been singing opposite to him, he is connected by blood and family affection. As for Fei Yi, he did not betray him, but had a conflict in concepts and wanted to protect the young master. After all, it was for the sake of business rather than personal affairs.
Li Dui is different. The reason why he turned against him was that three points were for the family and seven points were for his own selfish desires. These made the Lord's father hate him, but he was afraid that the Li family's tail was too big, so he had not attacked him for a long time, so he naturally would not have a good tone when he spoke to him.
Li Dui didn't care, but just said respectfully: "Master, King, I have something to report to me."
"Last morning, the Assassin was assassined in the mansion. The assassin was extremely skillful. Fortunately, the commander Zhao Xin was alert and the assassin did not succeed."
"What!" Zhao Yong stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and his face was full of astonishment. The whole palace was also in an uproar, only Zhao He and Gongzicheng knew about it in advance, so his expression did not change much.
The inner history is an important position and is one of the important officials of the Zhao court. Now he is encountered assassin. Especially at this sensitive moment, this has to make people feel guilty and everyone is in danger.
The face of the master father was gloomy and calm. His first reaction was to turn his head and glar fiercely at Zhao Zhang. Zhao Zhang was suddenly cold when he was glaring at him. He saw that all the ministers were looking at him, and his intention was self-evident.
Zhao Zhang is not a fool. He knew that if he confirmed the crime of assassinating an important official in the dynasty, it would cause an uproar across the country, which would almost ruin his future. He was immediately panicked and hurriedly looked at Tian Buli, but when he saw him looking at him with a panic look on his face.
The master's father concentrated and looked at Zhao He and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao He, are you in trouble?"
Zhao He stepped forward and replied, "Thank you for your concern. Because the dog son discovered it early, he fought with the assassin and forced him away, so I was not injured."
The Lord's Father nodded, "Fortunately, it seems that Zhao Xin is still useful in his home, otherwise it would have caused a huge disaster. I will reward him heavily afterwards."
Zhao He hurriedly refused, "Thank you for your father's heart. This matter is just a son's work and has nothing to do with your duties. Please do not want it..."
Zhao He waved his hand and said, "Where are so many reasons coming from? I would like to appreciate it as much as I want."
"Han Sheng." The Lord Father shouted loudly.
"I am here." The doctor ordered Han Sheng to take big steps to accept the order.
"I am rewarded with the position of Zhao Xin as a deputy general, and I am still under the Yulin Army. I can enter the palace to listen to the affairs."
Han Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that Zhao Xin was a little lucky. He became a general at the age of fifteen. Not to mention that in Zhao, he was unique and unique even in the world. You must know that Han Sheng has always been loyal to his master's father, and he was only a minor general after he was over thirty years old. Now he is just a general.
I really don’t know how many people this fifteen-year-old general is going to envy!
