Regarding the death of Zhao Shuo and the growth history of Zhao Wu, the "Historical Records" records as follows: "The Jin State Doctor Tu Anjia designed to frame Zhao Shuo, and the Duke of Jin Jinggong was deceived (or intentional) and ordered the extermination of the Zhao family. Zhao Shuo's wife was Jin Jinggong's sister, and Jin Jinggong couldn't bear to harm her, so he put her under house arrest in the palace. At that time, Zhao Ji was about to give birth, and Jin Jinggong released a word and said, 'Kill a boy if you give birth.' Zhao Ji really gave birth to a boy and named him Zhao Wu. With the help of Cheng Ying, Zhao Ji sent Zhao Wu out of the palace with the strategy of "exchanging gloves for pockets". Cheng Ying took Zhao Wu into the mountains and raised him as an adult, and Zhao Wu finally returned to the Jin Kingdom after becoming an adult, and drove out all the enemies. ”

This "Zhao's Orphan" is a well-known masterpiece through the ages, and at the same time created a precedent for Chinese revenge-style martial arts literature. However, I don't know what historical manuscripts Mr. Sima based on to write such a famous story of heroic romanticism, and the record of "Zuo Chuan" is not like this at all.

It turned out that Zhao Yu married Chidi prisoners of war and had Zhao Dun when he followed Chong'er into exile; After Jin Wengong ascended the throne, he married his daughter Zhao Ji to Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Ji gave birth to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Tong and Zhao Yingqi.

When the brothers grew up, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Tong became arrogant and arrogant by relying on their noble bloodline and the monarch's favor; Zhao Yingqi maintained a modest and introverted temperament. When the brothers ganged up to do things, Zhao Yingqi rarely participated in them. In this way, the two regarded Zhao Yingqi as a stranger and no longer regarded him as a brother.

The two brothers have always looked down on Zhao Dun, his humble background, his face turned black and red due to the wind and sun, and his strange accent with a strong white flavor.

Later, Zhao Dun was promoted to the general of the Chinese army, and the jealousy of the brothers began to explode: not only because he was on the rise and his status was far superior to the two, but also because he occupied the Zhao family's position as secretary. Unless Zhao Dun dies, the two basically have no chance to become secretaries.

After Jin Chenggong ascended the throne, the public office established a public clan system. Although Zhao Dun gave the patriarch of the Zhao clan to Zhao Kuo, he changed his own branch to "Xuanche Clan", which means that the two will never be able to inherit the throne from the Xuanche clan as Zhao.

After Zhao Shuo was martyred in the war of extermination, the brothers actually changed into festive dresses, pushed cups and changed lamps, and played crowns to celebrate. At that time, Zhao Wu was still in infancy. The brothers said, "It's impossible for the prince to give a child who wrenches his toes and spits bubbles as a secretary, right?!" This position is no longer the Zhao family! ”

However, Jin Jinggong considered the stains on the two (the two were suspected of dying in the war against Lu), and finally chose the proficient and veteran Yin Li. Since then, the two have begun to hate Xu Li, and their hatred of Yin Li has caused Xu Ke's strong dissatisfaction with the two.

During the Battle of Yi, the brothers did a lot of bad things that defied the authority of the Chinese army and undermined military discipline. After the defeat of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Jinggong only attributed the crime to Xianyu alone, and did not hold others responsible. The reason why Jin Jinggong did this was that he didn't want to expand the scope of the attack, didn't want to create an uncontrollable situation, and didn't want to cause turmoil in the office, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't settle accounts with some people.

After the end of the Battle of Gong, the Jin State expanded its army and increased the number of ministers, and Zhao Kuo finally squeezed into the ranks of the ministers, but Zhao Tong still remained in the ranks of doctors.

After Xu Ke stepped down, Luan Shu was promoted to the 10th general of the Chinese army of the Jin State.

Luan Shu looks completely harmless, but he is actually the most scheming person in the entire Jin Kingdom. Luan Shu seems to be very lonely, he has no friends, he always maintains an indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, does not take the initiative to make colleagues, and never clings to the powerful; He silently guarded his territory, did not allow anyone to invade, and never took the initiative to infringe on the interests of others.

However, Luan Shu's territory has expanded more and more, from half of the army to the entire Jin Kingdom, and the doctors live in his territory; Various interests are intertwined, intertwined, and complex, and there are more and more conflicts with his interests.

When Luan Shu served as the subordinate of the army, Zhao Shuo was his superior, and Zhao Tong was his subordinate; But Luan Shu's relationship with the uncle and nephew is completely opposite. Luan Shu and Zhao Shuo have known each other since childhood, and they have been studying, training and competing together since they were teenagers; Both parties recognize each other and are colleagues, so the relationship is relatively close; It is precisely because of this that Luan Shu is particularly hostile to Zhao Tong.

Luan Shu also has a friend who is Zhao Yingqi. Luan Shu was in distress twice in the Battle of Yi, but Zhao Yingqi fought desperately to rescue him from the enemy.

When the two were drinking, Luan Shu said, "Ying Qi, how I wish you could be the leader of the Zhao clan!" ”

Zhao Yingqi said: "I don't have this luxury. ”

Luan Shu asked, "Then what can I do for you?" ”

Zhao Yingqi said: "I know what my two brothers are, but please promise me: as long as I am in the Jin Kingdom for one day, you will not be unfavorable to them." ”

Luan Shu said: "I promise you. ”

After Zhao Shuo's death, Zhao Zhuangji felt that the sky was about to fall. She has fallen from a prominent wife to a widow, and she has to find a backer whether she is in life or for Zhao Wu's future.

It's unrealistic to find Luan Shu and Han Ju, because both of them are responsible people; They can help Zhao Wu, but they can't satisfy themselves. She thought for a long time, then turned her gaze to her uncle and cousin Zhao Yingqi.

Among Zhao Shuo's three uncles, only Zhao Yingqi was able to get along with Zhao Shuo. Zhao Yingqi regretted the death of his nephew and was very sympathetic to the new widow's family; After communicating with Zhuang Ji a few times, he assumed Zhao Shuo's unfinished obligations to his family.

The Zhao Kuo brothers coveted Zhuang Ji's beauty and tried to share the joy of fish and water with her, but Zhuang Ji's cold and hateful expression towards them discouraged the two.

In the spring of the fifth year of Lu Chenggong (BC586), Zhao Yingqi and Zhuang Ji's affair was finally revealed. After listening to the informant's report, Brother Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth with hatred and smiled proudly: "Ying Qi, Zhuang Ji, your handle has finally fallen into our hands!" ”

Zhao Kuo and Zhao Tong immediately convened a family meeting in the ancestral temple, and Zhao Yingqi was dragged to the scene to be criticized. The brothers also planned to drag Zhuang Ji over to make a fool of themselves in front of the clansmen, but Zhuang Ji said: "I am the widow of Xuan Cheshuo, and I have nothing to do with your Zhao family. If my uncle really wants to humiliate me, think about the fate of Yushu! ”

The two of them were thinking that it was not impossible for Jin Jinggong to destroy the Lu Kingdom for one sister, and then destroy the Zhao family for the other. The two had no choice but to dispel their thoughts, and Zhuang Ji led Zhao Wu into the palace in a fit of rage.
