Chapter 323: The bigger picture

   Chapter 323

   Zhao Zhongyu walked into the study without stopping, and after sending all the servants down, he said, "I know, what are you doing in a panic?"

   Zhao Ji's face was a little ugly, "Why didn't the clan tell us about such a big thing?"

   Zhao Zhongyu lifted his eyelids to look at him, "What do you think?"

   Zhao Ji said directly: "Zhao Ming and his son are on her side and unite with her to deal with us. Father, we are far away in Luoyang. They don't know how many things they hide from us."

   Zhao Zhongyu asked him, "How are you doing?"

   Zhao Ji opened his mouth, and finally realized that his father's attitude was different. After a long silence, he found his own voice and asked hard: "Father, are we going to do nothing? Let them deceive us like this?"

  Zhao Zhongyu looked at his son coldly, the anger that was accumulating in his chest almost burst out, but he held it back, his cheeks moved, and he became more and more solemn, "What do you want to do?"

   Zhao Ji did not speak.

   Zhao Zhongyu became more and more disappointed, stared at him and asked, "How about I send you and Dalang back to Xiping?"

   Zhao Ji shuddered, shook his head subconsciously, and then froze and stopped moving.

   Zhao Zhongyu closed his eyes forcefully. After opening them, he calmed down a lot. The anger in his eyes disappeared. He just said lightly: "I already know about this, you go."

   "Father."

The name    instantly stirred Zhao Zhongyu's anger. He picked up the cup on the table and smashed it in the face. Zhao Ji tilted his head subconsciously. The cup wiped his forehead and hit the ground, torn apart...

   But he was too frightened, sat back and fell to the ground, his forehead lifted instantly, and he covered his forehead in a daze.

   "Do you know what the stupidest thing you've done in your life?" Zhao Zhongyu said angrily, "You left Sanniang, mother and son, and your uncle's coffin when you fled south!"

"Only this matter, not only the scholars in the world will despise you, but your name is not right in the clan, even Zhao Song can use the reason of virtue and unworthiness to write a letter to take away your title, why did they choose Zhao Hanzhang? How confident do I have to compete with them?" Zhao Zhongyu said coldly, "I am the patriarch, but you are only the son of the patriarch, and the next patriarch may not be you."

"What's more," Zhao Zhongyu's eyes were deep, "now the world is in chaos, not only Luoyang, but also Yuzhou will be involved in the war, the world is in crisis, the clan is in crisis, and Sanniang is in control of Runan County, then my Zhao family will have more safety. ."

He got up and walked in front of Zhao Ji, squatted down and looked directly at him, "The clan is the most important thing, for the sake of the clan, not only you, but also me, you can also give up, Ji Zhi, if you can't agree with this, you should take care of the clan leader as soon as possible. Get rid of the back of your head."

   Zhao Ji was pale.

   Zhao Zhongyu got up and walked away, striding back to the main room, his face solemn and unhappy along the way.

   Was he happy to receive such news?

   Of course he was unhappy, even very unhappy!

   At this moment, he finally knew, I was afraid that Xiping had been hiding this matter from him, and even deliberately misled him, making him feel that Xiping was under Zhao Ming's control, and Zhao Ming was leading all of this behind the scenes.

   allows Zhao Ming to do this without revealing any news to him. Obviously, the entire clan is involved.

  The patriarch of him is probably already dead in name only.

   But what can he do?

   He doesn't have the prestige of Zhao Changyu, he is really tough, the clan can replace him as the clan leader, and, from the heart, Zhao Hanzhang can control Runan County, he is actually relieved.

   The current situation is really too dangerous. At this time, I don’t know whether Luoyang can be saved. If the Huns invade Luoyang, one of them will be counted as one, and all of them will not end well.

  The situation in Yuzhou will not be very good. At this time, for the future of the clan, there are no personal grievances. I only hope that Zhao Hanzhang's prestige and strength can be stronger, so as to keep the Zhao family.

   Zhao Zhongyu returned to his yard and went directly into the small study. He spread out a piece of white paper and studied ink blankly.

   After a year and a half, Zhao Zhongyu finally wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang to connect with her directly.

   In the letter, Zhao Zhongyu said a lot, the most important thing was to write about the current situation and war situation in Luoyang, as well as his plans for the future.

"Although Wang Yan sold his ox cart to defend the city, he also suggested that the King of Donghai promote his younger brother Wang Cheng to the prefect of Jingzhou, and his younger brother Wang Dun to be the prefect of Qingzhou." Zhao Zhongyu said: "Jingzhou has The Yangtze River and the Han River are strong, and Qingzhou has the danger of being backed by the sea. Their Wang clan can attack and retreat, and they can be described as three caves for cunning rabbits.

"Now Luoyang is in crisis, the court is in crisis, we Zhao clan should also make plans as early as Wang clan," Zhao Zhongyu said in the letter: "If Luoyang really breaks the city and Yuzhou can't hold it, you will **** the clan with someone Go south, go to the south of the Yangtze River, avoid the chaotic army and the refugee army, and you should be able to save the family..."

   When Zhao Hanzhang received this thick letter from home, it was already the end of autumn, so she sent someone to send out the second and last batch of food.

  This year, the taxes in Runan County have been halved, and she has not increased taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and has also prohibited the county magistrates from raising taxes in various names, so this autumn, the tax revenue is very fast, and the people are still cooperative.

   After paying the taxes, everyone still has some left, so you should be able to live until April next year.

   But Zhao Hanzhang couldn't give the tax to the Governor He so readily, which was also a helpless move. If he hadn't behaved more difficultly, the Governor He would have thought that Runan County was very relaxed.

Therefore, whether it was the military ration she owed or the autumn tax of Runan County, she was transported in two batches. To raise so much food, no matter how much, she can only work hard, but she feels that she will not be able to raise it.

   If we push it further, I don’t know how many people will die in Runan County.

  With Yangyang's lessons learned, the Inspector He didn't want to push Runan County too much. Besides, he used to be the prefect of Runan County. He was somewhat emotional, so he let them go with a closed eye.

   Zhao Zhongyu's letter and He Inspector's reply came one after the other.

   It was only when he received such good news from Inspector He that Zhao Hanzhang had a smile on his face when he opened Zhao Zhongyu's letter.

   After reading the letter, there was only condensed expression on her face.

  Ji Yuan sat silently by the side without saying a word. He knew that the interests of the girl and Zhao Zhongyu were in conflict, and there were also grievances.

  Although Zhao Hanzhang had long expressed no resentment, Ji Yuan also vaguely felt that she had never forgotten, or even held grudges.

   She is so smooth and thoughtful, but since the burial of the master, she no longer writes letters to Zhao Zhongyu, and every time she asks for anything and finds out information, it is handled by Zhao Ming.

   Seeing her somber, Ji Yuan asked, "What did the patriarch Zhao write in the letter?"

   Zhao Hanzhang handed the letter to him without hesitation.

   Ji Yuan paused for a while before bending down slightly and reaching out to take it.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Luoyang is in danger, the court is in danger, sigh, uncles can see this, there are obviously many people in the court who understand this, but they don't think about saving the country and the people, they are either thinking about themselves or their clan. It's no wonder that the imperial court is in crisis."

  Ji Yuan praised Zhao Zhongyu very rarely, "The Zhao patriarch is still very knowledgeable if he can focus on the overall situation."

Zhao Hanzhang didn't deny this, he raised his chin and said, "Just as Uncle Ming is here, send this letter to him, and let him reassure him, my uncle and I can't fight, let him Peace of mind."

See you tomorrow
