Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 650 Scared

  There were one or two drinking buddies who were a little more sober beside him, and they quickly stopped him and said, "Be careful, be careful, Zhou Chang, you have scared Cai Bo."

Zhou Chang, who was drunk, laughed loudly and said, "What are you scared of? Who doesn't die in life since ancient times? If I say that I am lucky to be Cai Bo, at least I already know how I will die. Unlike me, when to die, when to die. In what way, it is all unknown, and this is the great horror."

He was pushed away, he was already half lying on the ground, now he just collapsed, lying on the ground like a big character with his hands and feet spread out, he didn't care that his head was out of the mat, he opened his big eyes to look at the beams on the roof, the eyes in his eyes With a sorrow that no one else could see, he said: "In this world, death is not feared, what is feared is death worthless."

"The first-class death is to die for the country; the second-class death is to die for righteousness; the third-class death is to die for the family, for the family." He glanced at Zhao Ji enviously and said: " Shang Caibo and Zhao Shangshu were hostages in Yuncheng, and the last time they died was for their family, if they could die in the third-class death method, this life is also worthy."

He said: "Unlike me, think about those people who ran away with the king of the East China Sea. So many talents died in the hands of Shi Le inexplicably. Their deaths belonged to the country and the king, and they are useless to the world. They died in vain, in vain. what…"

Zhao Ji's head was rumbling, and he didn't hear anything else during the whole process, but he heard the word "death". He stumbled and ran home, wanting to ask his father, why did they come to Yuncheng? Did he really come to take Zhao Hanzhang as a hostage?

  He always thought they were forced to do nothing, he was, and so was his father.

  The Wu family was forced to death by Zhao Hanzhang, and his children were forced to be sent back to Xiping. He thought that what their father and son had to do was to use the power of the emperor to take back the Zhao family and the Zhao family army from Zhao Hanzhang. He thought...

  He had a lot of thoughts, but looking at them today, none of them are what he thought.

  But when he returned home, he saw Zhao Zhongyu who seemed to be ten years older, and saw him frowning at his desk, suddenly he didn't dare to speak, he was afraid of getting a definite answer from his father.

  So Zhao Ji never said it out loud, but he unconsciously agreed with what Zhou Chang said in his heart.

  Especially after Ming Yu left, he was even more sure that his father was not thinking of taking Zhao back from Zhao Hanzhang, but was helping her, helping her recruit talents and fight for power and profit.

   And all this, not only did his father not tell him, but he kept it from him.

Zhao Zhongyu turned to look at him, and finally squeezed it tightly. He walked forward, stood by the bed and stared at him condescendingly: "Do you know how many aristocratic families have been exterminated since Emperor Hui ascended the throne? Do you know In the past three years since the new emperor came to the throne, how many prominent families have been separated and disintegrated since then?"

  Zhao Ji was shocked by his questioning and retreated again and again, leaning his back against the bed board, speechless.

  Zhao Zhongyu's eyes gradually became sharper, and his face became more serious. He stared at his son and said, "Let me ask you, how did the Zhao family compare to the Wei family three years ago? Today, how does the Zhao family compare to the Wei family?"

"Our Zhao family is just an earl, and we have to confer the title of Shangcai County, while the Wei family conferred the title of Lanling, for the Duke of Lanling. The power and prestige of the Wei family is also higher than that of my Zhao family."

"Your uncle was still able to support you with hard work. With his good name, the world will know that there is the Xiping Zhao family, but once he is gone, how many people in this world can remember the Xiping Zhao family? The children of the family are destined to become officials. How many other people can claim this fame?"

"The Wei family has two brothers, Wei Wei and Wei Jie. Three years ago, between the Zhao family and the Wei family, who would be more optimistic about the Zhao family?" , took his mother's family members to the south, but did not hear any news, and the family members who followed Wei Wei and stayed with His Majesty were separated. Up to now, only Wei Wei and the first and second family members are struggling to support them. If there is no Zhao Hanzhang, if there is no Zhao family army, do you think Zhao How easy can Shi's life be?"

  The reason why Zhao Zhongyu compared the Wei family with the Zhao family was because Zhao Changyu had a very good relationship with Wei Jie's grandfather Wei Yu, and the two families were considered good friends when Zhao Changyu was still there.

   Wei Guan was older than Zhao Changyu, but he happened to be an official in the same dynasty. During Emperor Wu, Zhao Changyu opposed Emperor Hui's ascension to the throne and suggested that Emperor Wu establish another prince. Wei Guan was the prince's teacher at that time.

   But his teacher also thought that the prince was too simple and disagreed with his succession to the throne, and proposed to change the prince together with many ministers in the court.

  Unfortunately, Emperor Wu insisted on going his own way.

   Once Wei Guan was drunk and shot arrows at the prince under the guise of being dazzled, so he became enemies with Emperor Hui Jia.

  After Emperor Hui ascended the throne, Empress Jia framed him and almost ransacked his family and exterminated his family. Although he did not exterminate his family in the end, many people died unjustly.

  At that time, Zhao Changyu was also included in the liquidation, but he kept his mother's filial piety and took his family back to Xiping in advance, so he escaped the catastrophe.

  Later, the Wei family was rehabilitated and returned to the attention of the world, but the power of the family was severely weakened.

  When Zhao Changyu was there, the Zhao family was slightly more powerful and famous than the Wei family because of him, but once Zhao Changyu died, the Zhao family's direct branch had no children who could take care of them.

Zhao Zhi died early, Zhao Ji discarded the coffin and got a bad reputation, leaving Zhao Yi with no reputation. People are amazed that both brothers are famous.

  Who doesn’t think that Wei’s future prospects must be higher than Zhao’s in the future》

  But in just three years, the world has turned upside down, the Wei family has been separated, and the Zhao family is still standing firmly on the land of Yuzhou. No one dares to easily assert that the Zhao family will be under the Wei family.

   Seeing his son's face turned pale and unable to speak, Zhao Zhongyu straightened up and said coldly: "So, for the sake of the family, you can take this hostage, and you can take it if you don't!"

   "If you want to live longer, don't mention Zhao Hanzhang here. If you don't mention her, not many people will remember that you are a hostage." After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyu turned around and left.

  Arrived outside the door, he summoned Zhao Ji's servants and told him, "Take care of him well, don't tell him about the outside world, and don't let him go out until his injuries are completely healed."

  Next people should go down.

  Zhao Ji was lying on the bed, his chest was heaving violently, and his mind was in a mess, like a muddy brain, unable to think of anything.

  Ming Yu who was sent to Luoyang was very clear-headed and in good spirits. The road was mostly wilderness, and it took a long time to see a little human habitation.

  But Ming Yu would still occasionally stop, get off the carriage and walk towards the field.

  Yuan Li and others who escorted him did not stop him, he stopped as soon as he asked, Zhao Ming had ordered them to obey Ming Yu's orders along the way.

  The millet being harvested in the field.

  Ming Yu went to the field, and the people who were buried in the harvest heard the movement and looked up. Seeing someone with a knife, they immediately looked at them warily, "Who are you?"

  He raised the knife in his hand in a bravado and said: "The guard is not far from our place, as soon as we call, the garrison will come."

  Ming Yu said with a gentle smile, "Don't get me wrong, old man, we are just passing by, the sun is scorching, and we don't have enough water, so I want to borrow some from you."

See you tomorrow
