Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Changyu has never been an indecisive person. When he realized that his granddaughter and grandson would be like children walking away with money after inheriting the family business, he began to make arrangements.

He wants to divide part of the family property as capital for the survival of his grandchildren, and the rest will be handed over to Zhao Ji for inheritance.

Only then did Zhao Changyu begin to understand his father.

At the beginning, he dissipated his family wealth in such a big way, but never touched the land or the old house. It was probably because of the consideration of protecting him.

At that time, Zhao Changyu was only fourteen years old, and General Zhao Zhongyu was ten years old. He was an orphan and a weak mother. Even though he had a certain reputation, the title of Uncle Cai and the fertile fiefdom still made people jealous.

Uncle Shang Cai was an upright official, and it was well known throughout the world that he had squandered all his wealth, and the eyes of the world were on him. Therefore, despite the change of dynasties, the newly enthroned Emperor Wu quickly let Zhao Changyu inherit the title.

No matter how many people had looked at the glory and property of the Zhao family, after they went to Uncle Cai to scatter all the shop and cash, they could only show goodwill on the surface.

Zhao Changyu hoped that he could also leave a piece of pure land to his grandchildren.

So, he doesn't plan to give them much money.

With only land and a few scattered shops, as long as they work hard, they can live as prosperously as rich families. With books at home, future generations will have the possibility of recovery.

He has no hope for Zhao Erlang, he can only count on his son.

He planned well, but he didn't expect that the contradiction between the first and second houses would become increasingly serious.

The Wang family seems to have reached a dead end. She is unwilling to accept the reality that Zhao Erlang is stupid, so she is unwilling to give up the title that should belong to Dafang.

Because of her, Zhao Hezhen appears gentle on the surface, but secretly is tit-for-tat with his second wife.

What dissatisfied Zhao Changyu the most was the performance of his second wife, Zhao Ji, his wife and several children.

No matter how bad things are for Mrs. Wang and her two children, it is because they have suffered a loss. It is normal to have some grievances, and forget it if the second wife cannot resolve them. They cannot even do the most basic things of patience and generosity.

Although they were peaceful in front of him, they fought with each other privately.

At this time, Luoyang was at its most chaotic and the most serious period of civil strife.

There is a war in Luoyang every few months. His colleagues who were discussing politics face to face yesterday were hacked to death by rebels who broke into their homes today.

The emperor was in the hands of Sima Lun yesterday, and fell into the hands of Sima Jiong today. Sima Jiong had been proud for more than a year, and the emperor was robbed by Sima Yi again...

Every time a regent was replaced, the previous regent's gang members were wiped out.

And their conditions for judging party members were also very arbitrary. One of the censors was considered to be a party member of Sima Jiong because he was present when Sima Jiong did not salute the emperor, but did not reprimand and advise Sima Jiong.

After Sima Jiong was defeated, more than 3,000 of his comrades were accused, and all three tribes were annihilated. As many as 60,000 people were implicated...

And that’s not counting the soldiers who died on both sides...

Several times, Zhao Changyu was on the list and was removed again. In order to be able to be removed from the list every time the regime changed, Zhao Changyu tried his best. In addition, he also had to protect as many people in Luoyang as possible. Protecting the ignorant and robbed emperor will make him very tired, okay?

Every time he came home from outside, he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep, but the house was still a mess.

Because Zhao Changyu was involved in state and family affairs, his health was getting worse day by day.

Uncle Cheng said more than once, "Master Lang is exhausted."

Fatigue and anger made Zhao Changyu's health worse day by day. At the same time, he realized more and more clearly that the second wife and the first wife might not be able to live in peace.

By handing over the family property to Zhao Ji, Wang, mother and son will no longer be able to rely on them in the future.

Should we let Dafang suffer a little more and just stay alive, or should we let Dafang be brilliant for a while and then die with the whole family?

Zhao Changyu knew what he should choose. Isn't the current chaos in the country just because Emperor Wu couldn't bear to wrong the prince?

He endured his heartache, ignored Wang's anger, and began to train Zhao Ji and Zhao Yi.

But... the mud really cannot hold up the wall, and Zhao Ji is even worse than his father.

At this time, Zhao Changyu finally liked Zhao Zhongyu. Although he was inferior, he was much better than his son.

At this time, he didn't like his sister-in-law. If she hadn't passed away, he would have criticized her.

But even though she passed away, Zhao Zhongyu was still there.

So Zhao Changyu and Zhao Zhongyu said: "My mother told you about this marriage at the beginning was wrong. Please help me. You can't carve out rotten wood."

Zhao Zhongyu's face turned red, "Who do you think is the most talented person in my brother's eyes? You looked down on me when I was young, and now you look down on my wife and children."

"I'm not looking down on your wife. People's intelligence is destined by nature, but character is learned. My sister-in-law's character may be okay, but it's not that good. So it's still a matter of education. You didn't educate your children well."

Zhao Changyu said: "I have neither talent nor virtue. I really don't feel at ease if the Zhao family is handed over to him in the future. You can train Yi'er. I will live a few more years and then I can directly pass over Jizhi and give him the title." Yi'er."

Zhao Zhongyu: ...I can see that he doesn't like Zhao Ji at all.

Zhao Yi is still young and about the same age as Zhao Hezhen. He wants to educate several children together and cultivate their relationship. It may be better for him to inherit the family business than for Zhao Ji to inherit it.

Zhao Zhongyu was angry and unconvinced, thinking that this was his brother's prejudice against him, which would be extended to his descendants.

Zhao Ji is indeed not as smart as Zhao Zhi, but he is not far behind.

Zhao Ji's performance is naturally much worse than that of Zhao Zhi, but when compared to other children from aristocratic families, the difference is not big. As for Zhao Yi, he has not yet had time to reveal too many character traits.

Zhao Changyu and Zhao Zhongyu wandered on the edge of life and death every day. They said they wanted to educate their children and grandchildren, but in fact they didn't have much time to educate them themselves.

They just left the person to the gentleman who invited them, and occasionally listened to the gentleman's report.

Zhao Hezhen stands out among the brothers and sisters.

Not only did she learn well in literature classes, but she also did well in martial arts classes. Her swordsmanship was not inferior to Zhao Yi's, the brother and sister were evenly matched in sparring, and her riding and archery skills were still superior to Zhao Yi's.

After Zhao Changyu found out, he specially called his husband and asked him to open a small stove for Zhao Hezhen, and then told Zhao Hezhen, "The wind will destroy the trees that are beautiful in the forest. If you want to withstand the wind and rain, you must learn to hide in the forest and focus on developing the foundation. As long as If you dig deep enough, no matter how strong the wind or rain is, it won’t be able to destroy you.”

Zhao Hezhen: "What if I'm intercepted at the waist?"

"It's not like uprooting something. If it's broken, it can grow again. As long as you're alive, you can start from scratch."

Zhao Hezhen listened to him and began to curb her sharpness, learn to hide her abilities, and even learned to secretly target her cousins.

Zhao Changyu:......

I feel so tired, forget it, let them go, I can't take care of the child when he is older.

Zhao Changyu decided to find Zhao Hezhen a kind husband who would be able to tolerate her if her scheming methods were discovered in the future.

He planned well, but he didn't expect unexpected changes.

Sima Yue, the king of East China Sea, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, were beaten until their brains came out. Sima Yong took the opportunity to kidnap the emperor and ran away.

The courtiers were panicked, trying to mediate the war while trying to rescue the emperor.

Several princes fought for two years. Zhao Changyu followed the kidnapped emperor and ran around. Due to some mistakes, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, won the victory by luck, and the army returned to Luoyang with the emperor and courtiers.

At this time, several children had grown up, and Zhao Changyu did not have time to ask about their studies and life in the past two years. The emperor was poisoned to death by Sima Yue.

Zhao Changyu:......

After a court fight, Sima Yue selected Sima Chi from the surviving emperor's younger brother to take the throne, and he became the regent.

Zhao Changyu had worked hard for many years. After the new emperor came to the throne, his body reached its limit and he finally fell ill and could only stay at home.

At this time, due to years of civil war, there was a serious food shortage in Chang'an. Due to the new emperor's accession to the throne, refugees from all over the country rushed to Luoyang with a glimmer of hope, hoping to ask for a glimmer of hope.

Although the new emperor came to the throne and Sima Yue became the regent, Luoyang was not stable. He had almost no control over his soldiers, so that the army was like bandits, looting the people everywhere, and some stragglers were not wiped out. Therefore, the city of Luoyang refused to accept refugees. Entering, no one in the city went out of the city unless they had to make a living out of the city.

It was at this time that Zhao Erlang was deceived outside the city.

When Zhao Hezhen found out, the man was already at the city gate, and she could only rush to chase him.

Zhao Hezhen fell off his horse and was injured and was carried home. Zhao Changyu knew it immediately.

He immediately sent someone to call the imperial doctor. In the process, she lost breathing and heartbeat for a while, so even when the imperial doctor later said that she only had a fracture and a brain hit, but the problem was not serious, Zhao Changyu was still angry.

He is willing to hand over the family property to the second house, but that is also on the premise of preserving the main house.

What Wu and his niece did was really chilling to him. What chilled him even more was that after knowing the truth, Zhao Ji and Zhao Yi chose to conceal it, clear the traces for their mother and daughter, and in turn deal with Wang and her daughter.

Zhao Changyu's teeth were cold.

From this moment on, he had doubts about his decision, and from this moment on, he completely distrusted Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Ji and his son.

So when the granddaughter who shed her disguise and revealed her hidden personality came to visit, Zhao Changyu chose her and chose to risk the disapproval of the world.

Since the family property cannot be handed over to a fool, and it will be difficult to end it well if it is given to the second wife, then it is better to just give it to the granddaughter.

He threw all the bullshit aside that women always have to get married, and that a daughter who marries outside her family shouldn't take the family's roots.

The rules in this world are only called rules if most people follow them. Otherwise, the rules are meant to be broken.

The emperor is supreme, but look at the late emperor, where was he in this life?

So even the rules of monarch and minister have been broken. The king is not like the king, and the minister is not like the minister. Is there any rule in this world that cannot be broken?

But he couldn't tell her these words openly. He could only divide the family property into two parts, leaving one part to Zhao and the other to his granddaughter.

Most of the Zhao family's money was earned by Zhao Changyu, but it was not just him.

He has been busy with government affairs in recent years. Although he takes the general direction in the small matter of making money, he basically relies on his subordinates to do it.

And his management basically came from the Zhao family.

Many industries are also managed by members of the Zhao clan.

Zhao Changyu was very rich, but he was very low-key. People outside were not sure how much money he had. However, several times when the emperor was in trouble, he always took out the money to move around.

There had been several wars in Chang'an before. The emperor was in Chang'an at that time, and when Zhao Changyu followed him there, there was no food shortage in Chang'an;

Later, the emperor was brought back to Luoyang, and Luoyang was beaten several times. Many people were killed and injured, and farmland was destroyed. Zhao Changyu was in Luoyang, and there was no food shortage in Luoyang.

On the contrary, in Chang'an, a food shortage began not long after Zhao Changyu left.

Everyone secretly guessed that Zhao Changyu still had a lot of money and a lot of grain, which must be more than what was in the treasury.

Even Sima Yue couldn't help but look at this property. (End of chapter)
