Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang only found out after receiving a letter from his fifth uncle. What he meant was that if Zhao Zhongyu was really seriously ill, the clan would have to send someone to the capital to discuss the matter of the next generation clan leader.

The fifth uncle didn't want Zhao Ji to inherit the position of patriarch, and he didn't think highly of him.

But there are only two direct branches left, Zhao Ji's line and Zhao Hanzhang's line. It's not Zhao Ji, and Zhao Erlang is not suitable. Zhao Hanzhang is a girl. Even if the fifth uncle wanted to marry Zhao Hanzhang for a moment, he would quickly think about it. He suppressed it, so after comprehensive consideration, his opinion was to bypass Zhao Ji and directly let Zhao Dalang be the clan leader.

But Zhao Hanzhang didn't even look down on Zhao Dalang. Unlike her fifth uncle who was obsessed with inheriting the position of clan leader, Zhao Hanzhang was much more courageous. She felt that Zhao Ming was the most suitable candidate.

However, she made some calculations in her mind and felt that Zhao Zhongyu could survive his illness this time, so she didn't mention it.

Zhao Zhongyu was indeed seriously ill. While the emperor said that he believed in him and the Zhao family, he also began to suspect that the Zhao family wanted to dominate Yuzhou. People in the court continued to criticize him.

Most of them were from the King of Donghai, who still held grudges for being defeated by Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi; the rest were political opponents of Zhao Zhongyu.

Zhao Zhongyu is now the minister. If he is dismissed and this position becomes vacant, many people can be promoted quickly.

In addition, the King of East China Sea was watching eagerly from the side. On several occasions, he suspected that the King of East China Sea wanted to kill him. In addition, he was worried about his family and his own family. This made Zhao Zhongyu think a lot. He didn't know when he was so attracted by Han Feng. As soon as I blew it, I immediately fell ill.

His illness was so severe that Zhao Ji thought he would not survive, so he had to write to Xiping to report.

If something happens to Zhao Zhongyu, the clan will quickly prepare for the succession of the next clan leader.

Zhao Ji never thought about the possibility that he would not be the next clan leader, but he was still uneasy. He could feel that Uncle Wu didn't like him very much. The elders in the clan listened to Uncle Wu. It would be difficult for him to become the clan leader. You can command them.

Therefore, he hoped that Zhao Zhongyu could leave more words, preferably in front of the clan members.

Amidst his worries, Zhao Zhongyu endured tenaciously and began to get better.

While he was getting better, various news came from Yuzhou.

The people who had been trapped in Luoyang City finally couldn't bear the hunger. After the fifteenth day and the weather began to warm up, they dragged their families out of Luoyang City and headed to Yuzhou step by step.

Luoyang City is not far from Yuzhou, and they don't expect to reach Runan County. As long as they can enter Yuzhou, where Zhao Hanzhang's policy goes, it will be fine.

They want to live!

Luoyang City, which was already depressed, became even more deserted.

Although the emperor did not leave the palace, he still felt this dead silence. He was even more unwilling to stay in Luoyang. He kept attacking the King of Donghai and wanted to move the capital away.

Zhao Zhongyu, who had just recovered a little, was forced to get involved in their fight again, because this time the place where the emperor wanted to move the capital was Cangyuan City, which Gou Xi had proposed.

Cangyuan City is located near Chen County. It used to be controlled by He Governor, and Gou Xi occasionally visited it. Now, it is completely controlled by Zhao Hanzhang.

It was impossible for Gou Xi to want to visit there again.

If the emperor really moves the capital to Cangyuan City, then the local nobles in Yuzhou will have a lot to do.

As for the largest noble families in Yuzhou, one is the Zhao family and the other is the Xun family.

Zhao Zhongyu was forced to get involved and fell ill again.

Although he was sick again, he felt much better this time. He would rest on the bed and cover himself with a quilt. He would drink medicine when he was hungry and drink when he was thirsty.

Zhao Ji was anxious for two days and had to ask proactively, "Father, His Majesty has sent his servant to see you again."

Zhao Ji was about to lie down and wait for someone to come in and take a look. Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "I have sent him away, but Father, it's not good for us to hide like this forever."

He asked: "Since you said that His Majesty is different now and might be able to prevail, why don't you support His Majesty in moving the capital?"

"If the capital is moved to Cangyuan, it will not be very far from our Xiping. Yuzhou is now our Zhao family's territory, and the military power in our hands is not much less than that of the King of Donghai."

Zhao Zhongyu frowned and said to him: "You should not participate in government affairs in the future."

Zhao Ji was a little annoyed, "Father!"

Zhao Zhongyu said displeasedly: "It's not that simple. The emperor now has 20,000 troops, but in front of the King of Donghai, these people are not worth mentioning. Yuzhou has just stabilized, and Hanzhang has not yet had time to gain a firm foothold. , moving the capital at this time directly broke her plan, the Zhao family is still only the Xiping Zhao family, not the Yuzhou Zhao family."

He said: "If you don't talk about the distance, let's talk about King Donghai and Gou Xi. If His Majesty moves the capital to Cangyuan, will they lead troops to garrison in Cangyuan?"

"That Cangyuan is on the edge of Chen County. Hanzhang is a woman after all. She will suffer a disadvantage in terms of identity and age, and will be taken advantage of by the ministers of the court." Zhao Zhongyu said: "Is the court here or not?" There was a big difference when the imperial court was here, how could she still fight and kill in front of His Majesty and King Gou Xi of the East China Sea?"

"Since her status is limited, the clan just needs to find someone to take her place, and she retreats behind the scenes..."

Zhao Zhongyu stared at him until he was speechless.

He asked quietly: "Are you going to force Sanniang to get married?"

Zhao Ji: "Father, why did I ever have this intention?"

Zhao Zhongyu: "As far as your relationship with her is concerned, she will not know your plan, let alone whether she will listen to it. Even if you have to push someone to the front, there are still Erlang and Fu Tinghan."

He said: "She will get married eventually. Isn't Fu Tinghan closer to her than you and me?"

Zhao Ji was a little angry, "The only person she relies on now is me, the Zhao family."

Zhao Zhongyu was a little discouraged when he heard this. He was actually not afraid of Zhao Ji being cruel, but he was afraid that he would be cruel yet stupid.

He can't even control the clan now, knowing that the clan is almost divided into two, and most of the clan members are leaning towards Zhao Hanzhang.

And why can she get this support?

Of course it's because she has this ability.

There are still so many people in the Zhao family, but no one has ever held military power before. Could those military achievements also be obtained by members of the clan for her?

Zhao Zhongyu thought of the letter Zhao Song wrote to him not long ago.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Ji. In the letter, Zhao Song rudely rejected Zhao Ji, thinking that he was immoral and incompetent and could not hand over the clan to him.

He would rather pass over him and hand over the clan to Zhao Dalang, who is still underage, than give it to Zhao Ji, who has inherited the title.

Zhao Zhongyu suddenly felt sad and felt that he had no successor. At this moment, he finally realized his elder brother's helplessness and anxiety.

Zhao Ji is like this, Zhao Dalang is not much better, and apart from the two of them, there is only one Zhao Erlang who cannot read a few characters.

Zhao Zhongyu couldn't help but shed tears. All the talents of his direct descendants were concentrated on Zhao Hanzhang. However, she was a girl. If she were a man, why would the eldest brother be so worried? He wouldn't be in such trouble today.
