I wish all lovers in the world finally get married and a happy Valentine's Day!

It was early in the morning when Zhao Xin was awakened by the noise in the yard. He could only hear the sounds of people outside the door being arranged back and forth.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I couldn't continue to sleep. I was so angry that I had to get up and put on my clothes, and pushed open the door and shouted, "What's the noise? It's messing up my young master's dream. Don't you want to live?"

When a passing servant saw Zhao Xin getting angry, he came up with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master, you probably don't know that the happy event is coming."

Zhao Xinheng glanced at the man and said angrily, "I have a big joy, which disturbs people's dreams early in the morning."

"If you have any happy events, come and tell me. If I can't satisfy me, I will definitely make you beat me and have a blow to your butt."

The servant laughed, "Of course it's a good thing. Our master, that is, your father, was promoted to the inner historian last night by the king. All the scholars and officials will come to the door to congratulate you this morning. Madam asked us to get up early in the morning to prepare. Master, do you think this is a great joy?!"

Zhao Xin was surprised. Although he had not entered the officialdom, he also knew that the various departments of the Zhao Dynasty were in charge of the various departments. Although the position of Inner Historian was under the superiors of Zhuguo, Siko, Zuosi and other superiors, he became the most popular position under the prime minister because of his great financial and tax power. He was faintly called the deputy prime minister in the court. As a Tianma official who was not in the three ministers, Zhao He was able to ascend to the position of Inner Historian. The rapid promotion was really enviable. No wonder so many colleagues came to congratulate him.

After his father was promoted, Zhao Xin naturally felt good. After washing up, he happily went to the hall to congratulate his father, wanting to ask for a reward.

Because it was just past Chen and it was still early, no one came to visit the mansion. Zhao's mansion was busy, and was attacking the cleaning under the command of Li. Zhao Xin saw his mother pointing at the servants from afar, and smiled and wanted to go forward to ask for rewards. Before he could speak, he saw Li waved his hand impatiently, "Go and go, go aside, I didn't see me busy."

Zhao Xin couldn't help rolling his eyes and had to leave in disappointment. When he arrived at the door of the hall, he saw his father standing in the yard talking to someone. The man was about forty years old, dressed in a scribe, with thin cheeks and handsome face. He was so energetic that he looked like a romantic scribe.

Although it was a distance, Zhao Xin recognized his uncle, so he greeted him with a smile on his face and opened his mouth and shouted, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Zhao He glared at his son with a wide eyelid glance and said unhappily, "You are not big or small, where are the etiquette you usually learn? Why don't you pay a visit to your uncle?"

Zhao Xin curled his lips and bowed reluctantly, "Greetings to my uncle." Zhao He nodded and turned around, but did not see Zhao Xin making a quick face behind him.

Li Dui, who was standing beside him, could not help laughing. He smiled and hugged Zhao Xin, turned his head to Zhao He and said, "Brother Zhao, this is your fault. I am not an outsider, but just a nephew meets his uncle. Is it necessary to see him like this?"

Zhao He didn't want to disprove his face in person, so he had to smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "You don't know how naughty this boy is. If I don't make strict requests, I'm afraid his tail will be raised to the sky."

Li Dui disagreed, "What's wrong with this? It's normal for children to be more playful. Brother Zhao, you're too strict."

Zhao He was unwilling to be entangled with this issue than Li Dui, so he looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Your mother is busy in the front hall. Can you go and see what can you help?"

Zhao Xinxin knew that the two had something to talk about, so his father gave him away. Although he was a little reluctant, he had to nod helplessly. Li Duize smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Xin'er, go and help your mother first, and your uncle will find you later and give you a good thing."

"What is it?" Zhao Xin became very interested when he heard that his uncle who had always pampered him. He hurriedly pestered Li Dui and asked him to say it. Li Dui was pestered by him, so he had to say this. "Didn't you say last time that you want your own sword? I, a famous craftsman in Hang City in the moon yesterday, tailored a light sword for you, and sent my family to pick it up. I think I'll be delivered later."

Zhao Xin smiled immediately after hearing this, and then he let go of Li Dui with satisfaction and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao He.

"Father, what's the point?"

Zhao He glanced at him and said, "I asked Duwei Xinqi at the banquet yesterday. He promised to teach you how to ride a horse and shoot archery. You must study hard and don't let down this old face for you as your father."

Zhao Xin was stunned at first, then was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you, father, I will definitely study hard and will never let my father down."

Zhao He just hummed, and did not answer, but still had a stern face. However, Li Dui said wonderingly, "How can I let Xiner learn these things?"

Without Zhao He's answer, Zhao Xin had already said first; "Uncle, you don't understand this, right? Now my Zhao State is proud of riding and shooting. I heard that Zhao Chi and the others are learning riding and shooting. If I don't know, they will definitely be laughed to death by them."

Li Dui disagreed, "What's the use of learning these? What's the best thing about joining the army? If you don't talk about suffering, you will lose your life if you don't do it well."

Then he looked at Zhao Xin with a smile and said, "Otherwise, I learned the Legalist magic from your uncle, so that I can achieve great things, how about it?"

Li Dui was born into a noble family and was appointed as a disciple of Han Xiangshen Buhe when he was young. Shen Buhe was a great master of the Legalists, and Li Dui was naturally a member of the Legalists, so this is why he said this.

Zhao Xin was about to refute that Zhao He was on the side indeed looked unhappy. He studied a lot of things, had many knowledge of Confucianism, Law and Taoism, and had no fixed academic tendencies, but he was somewhat resistant to the strong and domineering Legalists.

Then he waved his hand and said to Zhao Xin, "You go down first, I have something to talk about with your uncle."

After Zhao Xin walked away, Zhao He explained to Li Dui, "I saw that he really wanted to learn, and thinking that it was not a bad thing to think that more skills were not bad. Moreover, Zhao State is indeed very powerful now, so he went to ask Xinqi to teach him."

Li Dui smiled and shook his head, joking, "You always have a stern face to Xiner, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, in fact, you are the one who is most indulging him. If he wants to learn military tactics, you let him learn military tactics. If he wants to learn martial arts, you let him learn martial arts. Now you want to learn riding and shooting, and you let him learn riding and shooting. I see that his eccentricity is taught by your father."

Zhao He smiled and shook his head without explaining it. He changed the subject; "This time the Lord's father is willing to promote me to the inner history. I think it should be Brother Li who wishes me a helping hand."

It is not surprising that Zhao He thought so. Li Dui was a latecomer promoted by his master's father. He served as Si Kou in the court and held the position of criminal law and punished him very much. He was even more satisfied with his father after the new king ascended the throne and was appointed as the young tutor and assisted the new king with Xiangbang Feiyi. Although Zhao He was a royal family, he had no friends in the court, so he naturally counted this contribution to Li Dui.

However, Li Dui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You guessed it wrong this time. After my father returned to the court, I was like you. I only met him at the banquet last night. I was also shocked when he ordered you to be the inner history."

Zhao Heqi said, "That's strange. The master's father has not been in the court for many years. I am just a mere Ichida Department official. There are very few opportunities to meet the sage. How did he know me?"

Li Dui pondered, "I think it should be Xiangbang Feiyi who recommended you to his master's father. He has been in charge of the government for many years and knows a lot about the talents of his subordinates. If you are so outstanding, he will naturally notice you."

Zhao He was slightly surprised and said, "But I have no friendship with Xiangbang, and he has not given me any prompts in advance."

Li Dui laughed and said, "This is because you don't understand Feiyi anymore. I have been in the same dynasty with him for many years, and I am very familiar with him. He wants to deal with things impartially and never get involved in private affairs. To be honest, I admire this very much. I ask myself that I can't do this."

Zhao He nodded when he heard this and said, "Indeed, Xiangbang's noble character is really admirable."

Li Dui said again, "Since you are an internal historian and go out of the center, then there are some things you want to know so as not to follow the wrong steps in the court."

Zhao He was stunned and puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Li Dui looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Why do you think about the fact that our Zhao State court is divided into today?"

Fraternities are a taboo for monarchs in history, but Li Dui and Zhao He have been friends for many years and are the nephews of their uncles, so they are not shy about it.

Zhao He thought about it and said, "It should be divided into two parties, one is the main father and the other is the public clan, which can be correct."

Li Dui smiled and said, "Yes, not right."

"What do you mean?"

"You are right, the court is indeed divided into two parties, but it is not the master father and the prince tribe, but the master father and the king."

Zhao He was stunned, and said disapprovingly: "Why can a great man form a clique to protect himself when he is young?"

Li Dui smiled and said, "No matter how young the king is, he is also the king. At least in name, he is the supreme ruler of our Zhao State. It is true that the king is young, but the ministers in the court are not young. Although the master's father's vigorous 'Hu Clothing and Camera' quickly made our Zhao State stronger, he didn't know how many ministers and ministers had offended him for this. Now most of the ministers who are dissatisfied with the master's father are surrounded by the king, thinking about using the older king to fight against the master's dominance."

Zhao He pondered for a moment and opened his mouth and said slowly, "The king is young now, and he has a deep affection with his master, father and son. Brother Li is too early to say this."

Li Dui smiled sly, "Why should Brother Zhao ask me knowingly? The king will grow up sooner or later, but the master father is still strong. Powerful things are enough to make the father and son turn against each other, and they can only blame the master father for being too confident. He is too confident in his control over Zhao State. He thinks everything will continue steadily as he expected, but he does not realize that from the beginning of his abdication, there have been undercurrents in Zhao State."

"In contrast, the master father, he was away from home all year round and rarely dealt with the government affairs. He was already weak in the court. Most of the people who supported him were generals from grassroots backgrounds, while most of the ministers in the court came from famous families. Although the change of the master father made Zhao stronger, they lost their slaves and were forced to take off their beloved ceremonial crowns and put on barbarian clothes. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for those literati and officials who had never changed their lives. How could they not hate their master father?"

"If the Lord Father is the king and has the power to seize the supreme kingship, even if the nobles and doctors are dissatisfied, they will never dare to be guilty of treason. But now the king is a child, which gives them hope, and they surround the king tightly and use him as bargaining chips to fight against the Lord Father."

"Brother Li thinks Xiangbang is good?" Zhao He asked, directly pointing out the key to the problem.

The meaning in Zhao He's words is obvious. Fei Yi was prime minister for many years and has many supporters in the court. He has always been loyal to his master's father. If he firmly stood on the side of his master's father, then what Li Dui said was nonsense.

"Fei Yi!" Li Dui smiled when he heard this, "He does not belong to either side, he is only loyal to Zhao."

Zhao He frowned. Li Dui said that he had some related news, but he did not believe it all. Now he has been confirmed from Li Dui, which really shocked him a lot.

"Is the situation really so serious?" Zhao He's face gradually became tighter. Whether he was a minister of Zhao or a member of the Zhao clan, he didn't want to see a prosperous and powerful Zhao State, rather than a Zhao State that was trapped in civil turmoil.

Li Dui said decisively, "If there is no more than three years, Zhao State will have civil strife. Where will Brother Zhao go? Make a decision early, is it a faction of military generals who are loyal to the king of Zhao, or is it a party loyal to our king of Zhao."

Zhao He did not answer, but stared at Li Dui's eyes and asked slowly, "I don't know where your heart is, Brother Li?"

Li Dui smiled slightly and said calmly, "I am the young master, Brother Zhao, what kind of party do you think I am?"
