Chapter 106: The bad news of Handan!
Lian Po quickly carved the bamboo slips, read them two or three times before nodding to express satisfaction.
At the end, he even copied his official seal. With the official seal, he represented the envoy. When the King of Wei saw it, he had to return it, which was considered foolproof.
The bamboo slip engraved: "My minister, Lian Po, is in Daliang and his heart is in Handan. In the chaotic times, Wei land is not a difficult place, so it is difficult for those who use it themselves. Lian Po, the assistant of the King of Zhao, can use his talents by himself. If the King of Wei takes far away, he will have something to wait. If what he takes is great, he will have to endure something..."
Although Lian Po was an external minister, he still regarded himself as a minister in his book.
Lian Po means: Lian Po, a foreign minister, was in Daliang of Wei, but his heart was in Handan of Zhao.
Now that Lian Po is in troubled times, it is not because his talents are rare, but because it is difficult for Wei State to use his talents to display them.
Lian Po, assisted King Zhao, King Zhao allowed me to display my talents. What the King of Wei asked for was too far from my Lian Po. Now, Lian Po can be entertained by the King of Wei in Wei because King Wei has endured me...
Soon, this bamboo slip was handed over by Lian Po to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing opened it and couldn't help but nodded secretly, saying, "Lian is so loyal to Zhao State. I believe that when King Wei sees your book, he will definitely not keep Lian Xiang and let you return to Zhao State safely."
Lian Po bowed and said, "I have been troubled by you for too long. When I come to Japan, I will definitely report it to you."
Wei Qing smiled and said, "When will you and me meet like this? Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely do it for you!"
After the two said goodbye, Wei Qing left the mansion and opened Lian Po's book again.
After looking at the engravings and rubbings on the corner, my expression was also complicated.
Handan City.
In the court, Zhao Dan is now ill. As time goes by, all the ministers of Zhao State still have to discuss matters in the court.
After the matter was closed, Zhao Bao had to tell Zhao Dan about a series of state affairs.
Early this morning, while the ministers were still discussing, a shocking news came back.
Zhao Bao and the ministers' faces turned pale, and the bamboo slips on their hands were unable to hold them firmly.
"At the city of Que and Zhao, hundreds of surrendered soldiers were shot and killed, and 40,000 Zhao troops were unable to enter the city."
"June snow, Zhao Dan has no virtue!"
"In June, the country of Zhao is in vain. The gods give punishment. Zhao is about to perish!"
Each word is like a sword and halberd on the battlefield hitting every Zhao Chen's chest.
Zhao Bao was furious, "Why don't you go in, why don't you let go, Su Jie, what a trick!"
He threw the bamboo slips in his hand heavily to the ground.
In an instant, the bamboo slips scattered all over the ground and fell at the feet of the ministers.
The ministers here all knew very well that once this matter was known to Handan, the State of Zhao would be in chaos, not to mention that the snow in June was no longer known.
The people of Zhao State had already begun to feel anxious and believed that this was God's punishment.
Now that we are here, there is snow in June before, and the Zhao family's ancestral temple was defeated by Qin, which is a heavy blow to the Zhao family.
Later, the Zhao army added arches to 40,000 surrendered soldiers. This matter has reached an irreversible point. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely make the people of Zhao completely exhausted. Such a strategy of killing people without blood, but it has also taken the plan to kill and exterminate the surrendered families.
For a moment, Zhao Bao, Zong Shi, and the ministers were all scared to death.
They knew that something was going to go.
Zong Zheng said angrily: "Ran Jin, you have harmed my Zhao family! I want to break your car, which will make me angry!"
"Prime Minister, you must not let the king know about this matter."
Before Jinyang was lost, Zhao Dan was extremely angry. If he knew what was happening now, it would be unimaginable.
Zhao Bao tried hard to calm his mind. Now the king of Zhao fell ill. The envoy sent to Yanmen Pass did not reply for a long time, and the envoy from Wei did not return.
Zhao Bao's eyes were red and covered with bloodshots, and he said, "I will go to explain this matter to the people personally. It is because my Zhao family is sorry for them and apologized for carrying the thorns. This is because my Zhao family is wrong."
The old ministers of Zhao State all burst into tears and said, "Prime Minister, the old ministers are willing to go with you."
For a moment, several Zhao Chen, who had white hair and beards, stood up and wanted to go with Zhao Bao.
In history, the last glory of Zhao State was in the hands of Zhao Bao, the old ministers. In fact, Zhao State had reached the point of being in trouble. As soon as Zhao Bao and others died, the young and strong faction of Zhao State took office, but from then on, they lost the courage and thought of the ancestors of Zhao State to fight against the tyrannical Qin.
Therefore, after Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng died, Zhao State was quickly destroyed, and there is a reason for this.
The Zhao family was very famous in Zhao State. If they were not popular with the people, the Battle of Handan twenty years ago would have been defeated.
Back then, in the Battle of Handan, after three years of siege, the city was full of energy, Pingyuan Jun’s wives, concubines and young sons all went upstairs, which shows the tragic tragedy at that time and the passion of Zhao State!
Afterwards, the people of Handan, regardless of age, all went up to the city tower, using their bodies and blood to resist the Qin crossbows and long spears.
The Zhao family won the hearts of the people, but now they have stabbed the weapons in their hands into the chests of the Zhao soldiers.
Hundreds of Zhao soldiers were corpses in the que and the city. They did not die at the hands of the Qin people, but at the hands of their own people.
Once the people of Handan know about it, Zhao's prestige will be exhausted.
This is something that Zhao Dan and other royal families could not accept. They knew it was a plan, but they could not defeat it.
Su Jie's open conspiracy was to disrupt the country.
When Zhao Bao saw the ministers making a decision one after another, he said sadly: "I am a substitute for the king, thank you all."
Then, the ministers walked out of the palace with gloomy hearts.
Guo Kai looked at the ministers who had gone away, but instead changed directions, turned several bends of the palace, and came to Zhao Yan's palace.
As soon as the two met, Zhao Yan retreated.
In a spacious palace.
Seeing that Guo Kai looked bad, Zhao Yan asked, "Histor of Guo, has something big happened in the court?"
Guo Kai nodded, making Zhao Yan's face turn pale. What could Guo Kai say must be something great, and it was naturally not a good thing for them.
Guo Kai felt that this series of things was unnecessary for any minister of Zhao, because from the beginning, he seemed to feel that he was in it.
Because, from the death of Pingyuan Jun, he knew that this was what his "Mr." planned for him.
Now that so many things have happened, Guo Kai still can't guess the identity of that "Mr." is in vain.
However, it was because he guessed the identity of "Mr." that he was even more afraid. The strategy and power displayed by "Mr." made him feel that he, a good person, was like a woman without any power in front of him.
In fact, Guo Kai was very smart. In history, he was obviously the prime minister of Zhao, but he took the initiative to commit the treason. In addition to being greedy for money and profit, he also saw that Zhao had exhausted his energy and secretly defected to Qin. This also reflected his political vision and decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Otherwise, how could he have gone from serving a small country to become the prime minister, but instead killed the great enemies in the court one by one? How could this person be simple?
Just like now, the keen Guo Kai seemed to smell something.
Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but have an idea. Perhaps relying on Su Jie was his best way out.
The big tree Su Jie may be much thicker than the "big tree" in front of him at this time.
Thinking of this, Guo Kai said, "When the gentleman left, he said he wanted to help you ascend the throne. I came here today to ask what the young master means now."
...
After several days of recuperation, Zhao Dan's complexion improved slightly and was able to walk down and collapse.
Because I worry about Jinyang every day, it turns into a heart disease and it is difficult to cure medicine. The only way is to rest and not be excited.
Zhao Dan's unconscious cough made his body tremble unconsciously.
The inner officials and a female officials served on the side, gently pressing Zhao Dan's back.
After a while, Zhao Dan came to his senses and his face became a little ugly than before.
Zhao Dan looked at the inner official beside him and asked, "Why has the Prime Minister not come today..."
Before he could speak, he saw Zhao Yan walking in from outside, followed by a maid holding a medicine bottle in his hand.
Zhao Dan looked in surprise and asked in confusion: "Why is my son here?"
Zhao Yan's expression remained unchanged, his face was normal, and he slowly said, "Mr., father, I'm here to deliver medicine to you..." Please vote for starting points, please vote for QQ reading! Thank you everyone.
