Handan City.

In the height of summer.

Today's Handan is already the largest and most lively city in the entire Central Plains, bustling with people, a prosperous scene.

Although it was already afternoon, and it was only about an hour before the city gate was closed, the road to the south gate of Handan was still full of people and there was no sign of stopping.

If you look closely, you will find that except for those who are in a hurry, most of the men dressed as scholars are wearing a sable crown on their heads, wearing short-sleeved slaughter clothes, a pair of tight trousers on the bottom, and leather boots on their feet, looking quite neat.

If you occasionally encounter those people wearing wide robes and big sleeves, then these scholars in hufu will deliberately walk in front of each other with their heads held high, and then snort softly to express their contempt in their hearts.

"Hmph, this person doesn't wear Hu clothes, he must not be from my Zhao people, but from those conquered inferior nationals!"

Although in Zhao Dan's heart, all the Seven Heroes of the Warring States are all from the Huaxia clan, but it is obvious that except for Zhao Dan, most people in this world do not think so.

Since the proud Zhao people are already victors, it is natural that they have the confidence to despise the conquered people of other countries, and because of the existence of the military merit system, these local people of Zhao are on average much stronger than the people of the conquered countries in terms of land and wealth, which gives the natives of Zhao more confidence.

In fact, as the conquest of the Zhao State continued, many customs from the Zhao State had begun to infiltrate other countries.

For example, in the territories of the countries that have been conquered by the Zhao State today, many of the original officials of various countries rushed to put on Hufu in order to show their loyalty to the new king.

So much so that a certain Confucian scholar in Linzi sighed extremely helplessly: "It's only been a year since I returned to Zhao, and the city is full of Hufu, and it doesn't look like Linzi, but it seems to come to Handan in person!" ”

Not only the clothing of Zhao State, but also the writing and language of Zhao State, including the various systems and regulations of Zhao State, etc., also began to be implemented in various countries.

To put it simply, it is actually what is said in the historical records, and Qin Shi Huang made "a law to weigh the stone ruler, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same as the text." ”

"Zhao Zheng, come here." Zhao Dan stood in place with a smile and beckoned to a ten-year-old boy not far away.

Xiao Zhao Zheng was obviously a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage to walk over to Zhao Dan, and saluted Zhao Dan in a proper manner: "Zhao Zheng has seen the king." ”

Zhao Dan carefully looked at the child in front of him, and found that perhaps because of growing up in an orphanage camp, Zhao Zheng's still very immature face already had a bit of perseverance and precociousness that his peers did not have, but that was all.

Zhao Dan put on a kind royal expression and replied to Zhao Zheng while secretly turning his thoughts in his heart: "What do you think...... It doesn't look like a tyrant like that! ”

Zhao Dan casually asked Zhao Zheng some questions, and found that this Zhao Zheng is indeed a quick thinker and has an excellent memory, and it is more than enough to be called a prodigy.

"Sure enough, there is such a thing as talent, even if you change your identity, it still exists." Zhao Dan secretly praised in his heart, couldn't help but pat Xiao Zhao Zheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are very good, work hard, I believe that you will definitely become an excellent minister in the future." ”

Hearing Zhao Dan's words, Zhao Yan, the second son of Zhao Guo, who was standing beside Zhao Dan, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhao Zheng is Zhao Yan's companion, the kind of person who follows Zhao Yan and accompanies Zhao Yan to study.

Speaking of which, Zhao Zheng's age is a few years younger than Zhao Yan's, and he is the lowest-born among Zhao Yan's several companions, and he has always been taciturn, and the reason why he brought Zhao Zheng this time was just a whim of Zhao Yan, but he didn't expect his father to pay so much attention to this inconspicuous companion.

Zhao Yan's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Father doesn't know, Zhao Zheng's homework on weekdays is quite outstanding, and he is almost the first among everyone." ”

Zhao Dan nodded, and then glared at his second son: "I heard that you are very careless every time you go to class, and you are the first to the bottom every time, huh?" ”

Zhao Yan shuddered, and hurriedly smiled dryly: "Father, my son still has to go to the queen mother's side to ask for peace......

Zhao Dan stared at his second son for a few moments, and finally snorted heavily, waved his hand, and said, "Go." ”

Looking at the figure of Zhao Yanru being amnesty and leaving in a hurry with Zhao Zheng, Zhao Dan suddenly felt a little headache.

Headaches for parents when facing their children who are not angry.

Zhao Dan actually faced the same problem as other emperors, that is, he did not invest enough in the education of his sons due to his work on state affairs.

It can even be said that in addition to the crown prince Zhao Heng, although the other princes and princesses, large and small, come to greet Zhao Dan every day, they really don't have much time to spend together.

Lacking his father's discipline, and at the same time his status is quite noble, so no one dares to object, so the young master's temper and princess's temper will naturally come out.

Fortunately, there is also Queen Han Wan in charge, so the situation is actually not so bad, but women are not as majestic as men after all, so there are still some small problems.

For example, Zhao Dan heard that Zhao Yan was not interested in learning at all, but after a Mohist scholar entered the palace to teach a course, he became obsessed with "Moxue", and shouted all day long to go to the Mojia workshop to see the production process of these advanced weapons of the Zhao Kingdom.

Hell, do you want the future second prince of Zhao to be a bombologist or an ordnance scientist? Just think about it...... Seems to be okay?

In fact, Zhao Dan has not thought about the future of the children, the princesses are to marry chickens and dogs, needless to say, even these princes are troublesome to arrange.

It is definitely not possible to raise the royal family from generation to generation like Zhu Yuanzhang, and now a dozen people are okay to say, after a few hundred years, I am afraid that it will not be tens of thousands of people, and the treasury of Zhao State cannot raise these guys in vain.

So if Zhao Yan can find his interest and devote himself to it, it will be good news for Zhao Guo.

Anyway, as long as you don't have a brother's wall, you can do whatever you like.

Mao Sui appeared beside Zhao Dan and whispered to Zhao Dan: "King, Zhao Zheng has not made any changes recently. ”

Zhao Dan smiled and said: "You don't need to keep an eye on this child so closely, and the widowed Zhao Guo will not have any changes because of this child's life experience, but the widow hopes that you will ensure one thing, that is, no matter what the circumstances, you must not be able to let this child understand his life experience, understand?" ”

Mao Sui responded very respectfully, and then said to Zhao Dan: "King, King Qin has been escorted to Handan." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Danleng paused for a moment, and then showed a smile: "Since this is the case, then the widow should go and meet him." ”
