Outside the original capital of Zhongshan Lingshou, Handan Zhao army camp.

At this time, Zhao Xiang Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Wang He, who was only sixteen years old on the throne and was talking with the national lieutenant Li Dui, and his heart was really complicated.

A few months ago, Li Dui lobbied him to stand on the side of Zhao Wanghe and promised him the position of Zhao Xiang.

Originally, he thought that Li Dui persuaded him to stand on Zhao Wanghe's side out of speculation.

Moreover, he also thinks that Li Dui is also right, Gongzi Zhang is strong and domineering, and has the style of Zhao's master's father.

Once Gongzizhang ascends the throne, he will definitely become a passerby.

As long as he comes forward and successfully retains the position of King Zhao, then he is the hero who saved King Zhao, the hero who saved Zhao State, plus his status as the ancestor of King Zhao, then he will definitely become a King Zhao who is not King Zhao.

Therefore, in order to satisfy the position of Zhao Xiang, who he had been thinking about for decades, he was moved by Li Dui, stood on the side of Zhao Wanghe, and successfully sat in Zhao Xiang's position.

Then, he realized that he had been thinking too much before.

Although Zhao Wang He was young, after the Zhao Wang Zhang Rebellion was pacified, he first let the national lieutenant Li Dui take over the military power (he still can't figure out when Li Dui defected to Zhao Wang He), and then took over the inheritance of the former Xiangguo Feiyi, plus Zhao Wang Dayi was in his body, which caused his original intention to be the king of Zhao who was not the king of Zhao all failed.

Although Zhao Wang He has entrusted him with all the state affairs, he is now just a Zhao Xiang, and the power is not as fat as Zhao Xiang.

Thinking about it, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Wanghe's eyes full of different colors.

Before, he grew up watching his nephew Zhao Yong, the father of Zhao, and now, he is growing up watching his nephew Zhao Wanghe.

And both of these men encountered a major crisis shortly after tying their hair.

And his nephew Zhao Yong solved the problem, relying on Feiyi and South Korea.

However, his nephew Zhao Wanghe relied on himself.

In such a comparison, Zhao Cheng felt that even if he was twenty years younger, even if he was in his prime, he might not be able to figure out Zhao Wanghe.

After all, when he was in his prime, he didn't get rid of Master Zhao's father, and he was also played by Master Zhao's father.

And Zhao Wang He is much more insidious than his father, Lord Zhao.

Thinking about it, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Wanghe more and more respectfully.

At this time, after Zhao Wang He and Li Dui finished talking about the military situation, they spoke: "Xiangguo, Guowei, the Qi army is staying in the willows, this is to make the widow and the father lose both!" ”

When Zhao Cheng heard this, he immediately spoke: "King, this must be the Qi State wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob and cut another piece from us. After all, with the prestige of the Lord Father, without the help of the Qi army, we may not be opponents. ”

Li Dui also nodded and said, "Xiangguo is reasonable, it seems that we still need to prepare a heavy gift for Qi Guo." ”

"No, that's not right." Zhao Wang He shook his head and said: "There were two major battles in Handan before, which has already damaged the vitality of my Zhao State, if we start a war with my father at this time, then Zhao Guo will definitely fall into weakness." At that time, we may not even be able to hold the Zhongshan Kingdom.

Therefore, the widow pondered for a long time and decided to interview his father, persuade him to give up his military power, and then return to the palace to recuperate. ”

Zhao Cheng's face changed instantly when he heard this, he just thought that Zhao Wanghe was stronger than Zhao's master's father, and now Zhao Wanghe started to convince Zhao's father.

You must know that Master Zhao's father is still in the prime of his physical strength, how can he accept the result of returning to the palace to recuperate.

And...

Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Wanghe's small body, and he felt that once Zhao Wanghe appeared next to Zhao's master's father, it would definitely be a sheep's mouth.

Thinking about it, Zhao Cheng immediately opened his mouth to dissuade: "King, there are many villains around the master's father, and now the master's father has listened to the slander and has already determined that it was the ministers who murdered Gongzizhang, and he will not listen to persuasion." ”

"Nope." Zhao Wanghe shook his head confidently and said: "If you go to persuade him, then the father will definitely not believe it, but the widow is different, the widow is the father's own son, persuade the father with the son, and the father will definitely listen." ”

After that, Zhao Wanghe said directly: "This matter has been decided, Xiangguo, the national lieutenant does not need to be persuaded." ”

Saying that, Zhao Wang He said to Zhao Cheng: "Xiangguo, tomorrow you will go with the widow to see your father." ”

“···” Zhao Cheng froze in place, thinking that King Zhao was going to sell him.

"Xiangguo rest assured, the widow will keep you safe and live and die with you."

“···” Although Zhao Cheng was unwilling, when he saw Zhao Wanghe's unquestionable eyes, he had to respond: "Only." ”

Zhao Wanghe looked at Li Dui and said, "Captain, you will prepare a heavy gift later and send it to the Qi State with great fanfare." and led a large army to guard the barracks. ”

"Yui."

The next day, in Lingshou City.

When Master Zhao's father learned that Zhao Wanghe and Zhao Cheng were asking to see him outside the city with a group of soldiers, he was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "Didn't the rebel and the rebel give gifts to the Qi State?" Now that the Qi army is in the future, they dare to come to see the widow! Okay, very good, give the order, let them come. ”

Soon, Zhao Wang He and Zhao Cheng came to the main hall.

After the ceremony.

Master Zhao looked at his son Zhao Wanghe, and then looked at his uncle Zhao Cheng, and sneered: "Okay, good, worthy of being a good uncle of the widow, worthy of being a good son of the widow, you still have the courage to come to see the widow." ”

After Zhao Cheng saw Lord Zhao's father, he was already a little nervous, worried that Lord Zhao's father would kill him to avenge Gongzi Zhang. Now as soon as I heard that Master Zhao put himself in front of Zhao Wang He, he immediately knew that Master Zhao regarded himself as the mastermind.

Wrong!

Zhao Cheng felt that he had died unjustly.

Thinking about it, as soon as he raised his head, then he saw the thin body of Zhao Wang He in front of him, and then, his eyes suddenly shrank, and then he swallowed his words back.

On the other side, Zhao Wang He did not notice Zhao Cheng, who was half a position behind him, but glanced at Niu Qian, the general in the palace, and then at the other ministers in the palace, and said with an unchanged face: "Father, the sons and daughters are worthy of Zhao Guosheji, and they are worthy of the ancestors of Zhao State, and they have a clear conscience, of course, they can be justified." ”

At the same time, Master Zhao's father, who was already paying attention to Zhao Cheng, first saw Zhao Cheng glance at his son with awe, as if he wanted to refute but didn't dare to speak, and then, Zhao He, who shouldn't have spoken, actually spoke.

Seeing this, Master Zhao was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Thinking about it, Master Zhao immediately scolded: "Rebel son, you dare to quibble, you come with the widow." ”

With that, Master Zhao immediately got up and walked towards the side hall.

When King Zhao heard this, he also followed towards the side hall.

Side nave.

Father and son sat opposite each other.

After a long time, Master Zhao looked at Zhao Wanghe in front of him with a stranger and asked: "Why do you want to kill your brother, he has failed, you can let him flee abroad, he is your brother!" ”

Zhao Wanghe looked at his father in front of him and was silent for a long time, thinking that in order to persuade his father, he must not be clever words.

So, he told the truth: "If your father is not partial, your son is naturally willing to let your eldest brother go abroad."

However, the eldest brother is the acting monarch, and the eldest brother's general, Niu Qian, is sitting in Zhongshan with heavy troops, and the sons have to think about Zhao Guo. ”

"Widows are eccentric." Master Zhao laughed and said: "The widow has already enthroned you as the king of Zhao, and gave you the entire Zhao country, you would think that the widow is biased, this is the funniest joke the widow has heard." ”

Zhao Wanghe looked at the somewhat crazy Lord Zhao's father, listened to the crazy laughter in his ears, and nodded seriously: "Not only the sons and daughters think so, but my brother also thinks so, we all think that your father is biased." ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Zhao's laughter suddenly stopped.

"Father, ten years ago, my brother was still the crown prince, a prince who suffered a lot, was strong, and was expected by all. Without any fault of the elder brother, in the wave of opposition from the ministers, the father abolished the elder brother's position as the crown prince because of the words of the queen mother.

Since then, my brother has always thought in his heart that your father is biased. ”

Saying that, Zhao Wanghe looked at the silent Lord Zhao and smiled: "Of course, my brother doesn't dare to say what you are doing to your father, and I don't dare to do anything to your father, but my brother dares to do anything to Erchen, a child who has just lost his mother!" ”

When Master Zhao heard this, his heart ached, and his eyes were slightly sour.

At this time, King Zhao He saw that Master Zhao did not speak, so he continued: "If a person gets something he does not deserve, then he will definitely have a disaster; And if a person loses something he should not lose, then he must have resentment in his heart.

Therefore, from the day when Erchen became the crown prince, Zhao Guo lost two people, one was a good brother who loved his younger brother, and the other was a good brother who admired his brother.

Then, when Zhao was on the throne, Zhao had two more people, a vicious brother who had lost everything and was full of hatred, and a weak child who had gained everything but feared day and night. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Wanghe looked at Lord Zhao's father and smiled: "Father, do you know how the sons have lived in the past ten years?" ”

"Zi He You..." Master Zhao looked at Zhao Wanghe, who still had fear on his face, as if he had not yet recovered from his memories, and his heart was suddenly like a knife, and then he was speechless.

"Father, do you know that in the past ten years, the easiest day for your sons and daughters is when you lead the army to the battle. Because every time you lead an army to an expedition, you will take your brother with you, and as soon as your brother leaves, your sons will no longer have to face the vicious eyes of your brother.

As long as the elder brother stayed in Handan for a day, Erchen would often wake up in his sleep, and even have trouble sleeping.

In the past ten years, as Erchen has grown up day by day, his brother's hatred and resentment towards Erchen have also grown day by day.

By the time Erchen was twelve years old, Erchen had already understood the root of his brother's hatred of me, so from then on, Erchen never showed favor to his brother again, because Erchen knew that it was useless for him to be good, and it was useless to even return the throne of King Zhao to his brother.

However, Erchen also silently told himself in his heart that after the son-in-law performed the crown salute, as long as his father was unlucky, the son-in-law would not attack his brother, but would treat his brother like his father treated Xiang Guocheng.

for this is what the sons, and the father, and the king, owe to the brothers. ”

When Master Zhao heard this, his heart warmed slightly, but...

"But..." At this time, King Zhao turned around, looked at Lord Zhao's father with indifferent eyes, and said: "But not long ago, Erchen learned from his teacher Feiyi that the king wanted to make his brother the king of Northern Zhao.

Although this matter failed, Father, you still gave your brother the title of Dai Di to your brother for many years.

Father, do you know that you did not give your brother a substitute land, but gave him a chance. ”

Zhao Wanghe sneered: "Since then, Erchen has known that there are only two outcomes between Erchen and his brother, either they will die together, or they can only survive one.

It is not us who cause my brother to turn against each other, and even to be at odds with each other, because we are all involuntarily.

The root behind all of this lies with you, Father.

Because of your partiality, because of your children's affection, let our brothers go to the point of no return.

In the end, Erchen and his brother fought a bloody battle in Handan for four days, and the soldiers and people suffered heavy casualties, and even the elder brother died. ”

At this time, Zhao Wanghe looked at the silent and pale father Zhao, and then said: "The book says: 'Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan. 'Duan is not a brother, so he is not a brother; Such as the second gentleman, so it is called Ke; called Zheng Bo, ridiculed and untaught.

Therefore, although the elder brother died at the hands of his son, the person who killed the elder brother was your father! ”

When Master Zhao heard this, he suddenly felt that Zhao Wanghe's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely, and then... One knife, two knives, three or four knives······

Then, his heart was broken.
