The 60th Chapter Shi Hu Ye Palace was claustrophobic to death, Zhang Jack finally took charge of Zhao State
In Ye Palace, it has been a long time since I saw a "live" Shi Hu. The female officials and servants have now become accustomed to Shi Hu being just a decoration. On this day, Shi Hu, who had been ill in bed for many days, unexpectedly came back to his senses and wanted to lay down.
He walked around on the bed. He opened his eyes and shouted: "My beloved, where has my beloved gone?"
The maids and attendants on the left and right were startled, and they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their heads in silence.
Shi Hu slowly sat on the edge of the bed, weakly supporting his body. Seeing this, a maid hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Shi Hu took the maid's hand and asked: "Where is Queen Liu? Where has she gone?" The maid was sweating like rain. Everyone in the inner palace knew that His Majesty was seriously ill and no one in the harem could control Liu.
Now I am afraid that I will be hanging out with Zhang Jackal, how can I say this out loud?
The elderly woman, who was very knowledgeable after all, said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the state affairs are busy now and the prince is still young. Empress Liu is taking care of the prince now and has the responsibility of teaching. She must be living in the East Palace to guide the prince's studies."
After finishing, he winked at others.
Others quickly echoed in their hearts: "Yes, yes, Queen Liu guards your majesty day and night on weekdays. If it weren't for the prince, I think your majesty would be able to meet you at this time."
"That's it. Thank you for your hard work. As a mother, you must be strong." Shi Hu stretched out his hands to the left and right. Suddenly he asked coldly: "Has Shi Zun returned to the capital?"
A maidservant said casually without any thought: "I just came here the day before yesterday..."
The old woman hurriedly interrupted her words and said: "Shi Zun originally wanted to enter the palace and come to His Majesty's bed. Who would have thought that there was a warning signal in Jicheng, and His Majesty could not pay attention to the matter. For the sake of the safety of our Zhao country, he had no choice but to go ahead."
Resign."
"Is there such a thing?" Shi Hu was hesitant, but he saw that the old woman was very active when she arrived, and hurriedly touched Yang Huan, the steward next to her, with her arm. Yang Huan quickly reacted and said: "Yes, yes,
The State of Yan has always been spying on our State of Zhao, and now that Shi Zun has left, he is very interested in going south. King Pengcheng is also worried about state affairs and will return to the capital again in the near future."
Shi Hu woke up after lying down for a long time. His mind was a little confused, so he said without thinking too much: "Come on, help me get up. If I remember correctly, the Liangdu Rebellion has been put down for more than a month, and the Yan Kingdom has
This change happened last year. His lord Murong Hui just died last year, and his son Murong Jun succeeded to the throne. The succession of thrones has been very dangerous since ancient times. However, the stability in the country is as normal, which is really formidable." He sighed and said, "Shi Min, the righteous grandson, gave advice.
He said: "His son Murong Ke is very brave and brave. I'm afraid that none of the generals in Zhao State will be able to rival us, and the Yan State will be in danger."
After hearing this, Yang Huan, the chamberlain, hurriedly stepped forward to admonish: "Our Zhao country is rich all over the world. No one among the nine states can match it. The king is so wise and powerful that the Yan country can't compare. If given time, he will surely destroy the Yan country in one fell swoop."
"
Shi Hu lamented: "In time?" Shi Hu sighed, "I'm afraid the end is coming. Fo Tucheng has entered the pass in the west, and the only person buried in the tomb is a stone. I, the stone, will bury me and leave.
He is about to die." Shi Huqiang cheered up and said, "Pingliangdu's heroes have not yet been rewarded, but I will welcome the triumphant army in person. I will lay a foundation for Shi'er for eternity."
All the maids in the chamber knelt down and advised: "Your Majesty, you should take care of your dragon body and think of the Kingdom of Zhao."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll order someone to change my clothes. I've been lying down for many days, and my hands and feet are feeling heavy. I want to walk around the palace."
Shi Hu's body was getting heavier and heavier, and his body was weak and heavy. It took a lot of effort to change into regular clothes.
Shi Hu has been ill for a long time, and everything in the palace has been slack. All the way from the inner court to Xihe, he saw overgrown weeds and withered flowers and trees. Although it was late spring, there was a sense of sadness in autumn. Shi Hu asked as he walked: "Before I fell ill, I summoned King Yan back to the capital. Where is Bin'er now?"
The attendant didn't dare to reply. He just said yes and kowtowed.
Shi Hu is now recovering from a long illness, and is no longer as violent as before. Perhaps he is also sad when a person is about to die. He sighs: "It's normal for you not to know. You must know how many secrets are hidden in this huge Ye Palace. I don't know how." Can live a long time.”
Shi Hu called her up and murmured to himself: "Bin'er and Zun'er are not around, who can take care of important matters?"
While he was talking, he could hear the Xihe place being noisy and noisy. Shi Hu wanted to go there. A servant suddenly broke in and admonished Shi Hu: "There is something strange ahead. I hope Your Majesty will move to Kunhua Hall."
However, Shi Hu's blood immediately surged up and he said angrily: "Eunuch, this Ye Palace is my heart and soul, how can it be in danger? Get out of the way."
When Shi Hu climbed onto the overpass, he saw General Longteng Zhonglang and more than 200 palace guards under him, who all fell to the ground in obeisance.
Seeing Shi Hu coming in person, all the soldiers were furious and cheered.
Shi Hu saw that General Long Teng in front of him looked very familiar, and he quickly asked: "Who are you? You look very familiar to me."
The man raised his hands in greeting and said: "Your Majesty has a good memory. In the fourth year of King Zhao (the fourth year of Jianwu), there was a big locust in eight counties of Jizhou. Sili wanted to frame my father. It happened that your Majesty was on a tour of Zhongshan County, and my ministers avenged my father's grievances. Your Majesty refused. He was vulgar and carefully investigated the people's sentiments. There was no partial belief, and the edict said: "The disharmony in this government is a bad thing on my part. If I want to take the blame and protect the governor, I will not blame Yu. I will sin against my own righteousness! The minister will not comment. If I don't catch you, I'll blame the innocent, so I take my responsibility seriously, so I can wear a white collar as a clerk. 'I admire your majesty's generosity and kindness, so I joined the army to defend our country of Zhao. Due to my merits, I was promoted to the rank of General Longteng Zhonglang."
Shi Hu said happily: "I turned out to be a good son of Zhongshan County Sheriff. I haven't seen you for a long time. He has grown a lot taller. Why did you bring everyone here?"
General Longteng Zhonglang said: "Your Majesty, now that the holy bow has violated the peace, everything is in ruins, and the ministers are frightened, it is appropriate to order the King of Yan to stay in the guard and prepare his troops."
Shi Hu was doubtful and asked: "Do you all have this thought?"
Guards, look at me and I look at you. The Lord asked a question and did not dare to answer for a moment. Suddenly one person suddenly said: "That's exactly what I meant."
After hearing the words, Shi Hu didn't say anything. Gradually, the guards became excited and shouted: "King Yan, King Yan."
Under the fierce public opinion, a general suddenly raised his hands and said: "I beg Shi Bin to be the crown prince."
Suddenly the noise stopped, Shi Hu slowly walked down the steps and came to the guard. Yang Huan beside him was also nervous when he heard Shi Bin's name. Before following Shi Hu down the steps, he quickly signaled a color and called The little chamberlain next to him quickly ran out of the palace and reported to Zhang Jackal.
Shi Hu came to the man, held his arm and said, "Do you all have this wish?"
I saw the deputy general saying: "Your Majesty, I see that the prince is orphaned. He cannot control the strong generals externally and can't care for the officials internally. Once the mountains collapse and the country is in danger, please make King Yan the prince."
Since ancient times, the king's heart has been like the sea. When Shi Hu heard this, he was not happy and became angry, saying: "Now that the crown prince has been established, you are arrogant in discussing the appointment of the crown prince. It is a great crime. If it weren't for the fact that you have been fighting for Zhao for many years, how could you have wanted to take it?" Come on, what are you doing?"
I saw the Longteng Zhonglang general suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, I serve the country and have no personal feelings. However, I saw that I have already passed on the appointment of the crown prince of the State of Zhao. I am afraid that disaster is coming. The Yin Jian of the previous dynasty is not far away.
, I am afraid that there will be disaster for Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty."
After saying this, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself in front of the palace. Seeing this, all the guards rushed forward and tried to stop him. They only heard him shout, "Emperor Zhao, I don't want to see the brothers of Zhao State destroying the wall and causing chaos.
The blood of Zhao will protect me." After saying this, he cut himself to death.
Shi Hu was greatly stimulated, dizzy and about to fall. Yang Huan hurriedly stepped forward to support Shi Hu and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you have been out for a long time, why don't you go to the palace to rest?"
Shi Hu waved his hand, steeled himself, leaned down, tightly held Longteng Zhonglang's already cold hand and said: "Why are you so decisive? If you want to protect our Zhao country, we must rely on you. Come, give me a good burial."
.”
All the attendants on the left and right said so.
Shi Hu stood up slowly, held Yang Huandao's shoulders, and asked the attendant: "I announced that Shi Bin has entered the capital a few days ago, why has he not arrived yet?"
The attendants and maids on the left and right were all silent. Yang Huan's eyes gleamed and he hurriedly said: "The king of Yan, Shi Bin, was infected with the wind and snow on his way back to Liangdu due to the storm, frost, and cold snow. He could not enter the capital. The old slave sent someone to envoy
Diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician in the palace."
"Is that so?" Shi Hu looked at Yang Huan with a suspicious expression, already noncommittal.
At this time, I saw a soldier lying down and crying and admonishing: "Your Majesty's situation is critical. If it collapses, it will be difficult to deal with it. I ask King Yan to enter the capital as soon as possible without any hesitation."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, and a group of guards were already on the road. It turned out that Zhang Jacky had rushed to Xihe after hearing the news. Yang Huan saw him briefly in the distance, and while Shi Hu was talking,
Slowly exited. At this time, Shi Hu was followed by only a few maidservants.
Shi Hu heard the idea of joining the army and thought it was very reasonable. He called out: "Send someone to use my royal chariot to greet the King of Yan. I will deliver it to the seal in person."
Shi Hu called out, but no one from the attendants responded.
Shi Hu said displeasedly: "You eunuchs, have you heard this? Someone is here." Shi Hu turned around and looked at the maidservants on the left and right, only to see those people kneeling down, neither replying nor taking orders.
Shi Hu kicked those people fiercely with his feet, but there was no response. Suddenly, the sound of "ta-ta-ta" footsteps began outside Xihe, and he saw that their armor was completely different from that of the guards. They were Yecheng city defense guards. The Yecheng captain was originally Zhang Jackal's brother.
Under the command of Zhang Xiong, the leader at this time is Zhang Jackal.
Just at this time, Empress Liu also arrived at the overpass, looked at her husband Shi Hu below, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and I specially welcome your Majesty to return to the palace to rest."
The sergeant led by Zhang Jack also said: "I will escort your Majesty back to the palace to rest."
Shi Hu looked at the formation, and then at the attendants beside him. He was unwilling to look directly at Zhang Jack. The palace was already controlled by Zhang Jack, and he was afraid that Shi Hu had been cut off from internal and external contact, and he was really alone. He only heard Shi Hu laughing.
, "Haha, Shi Hu, it turns out you have this day too." There was a moment of dizziness, the world was spinning, and he fell down.
The Soaring Dragon guard was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
I saw Zhang Jack waving his hand to the sergeants he led, intending to lift His Majesty to the inner court of the palace.
Seeing this, the Long Teng guard standing next to him stepped forward to stop him, but Zhang Jackal said sternly: "You are plotting something wrong, causing the Holy Dragon to become ill. Your sin is unforgivable. If you continue to block it, you will be guilty of harming your family, so why don't you abandon your weapon and surrender."
When the guards heard that their family members were going to be killed, they were so frightened that they abandoned their swords. Zhang Jackal and two of his followers rushed over and carried the stone tiger to the inner court.
Seeing that Shi Hu had snatched it back, Zhang Jack turned around and waved his arms. The soldiers raised their spears and swords and slashed at the Long Teng guard. For a while, the sound of screams with swords and axes could not be heard.
Empress Liu on the high platform had never seen such a bloody scene before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. The maids on the left and right knelt down and asked Empress Liu to return to the inner palace to rest temporarily.
The member of the Longteng Guards who joined the army, even though he was wounded several times, still supported the spear with half his body and did not fall down for a long time. He shouted: "Our Kingdom of Zhao has been destroyed by your hands. Your Majesty, your country can no longer be protected."
Already."
After saying this, a sergeant accompanying Zhang Jack went up and stabbed the man through the heart. The man fell straight down.
The sound gradually stopped, corpses were strewn in the courtyard, blood flowed everywhere, the flowers, plants, and guardrails were all spattered with blood, and the setting sun was bloody.
Zhang Jack turned around and ordered his men to remove the corpses of the guards and clean the ground so that no foreign ministers could see them.
At this time, Empress Liu ignored the obstruction of the maids and went straight to Zhang Jacky and said: "Master Zhang, these, these, these are the guards who have been with your majesty for many years, how can you..."
"Queen Liu, the matter has come to this. I am doing it for you, Queen Liu. Haha, it's almost over. I have no choice but to come here for the sake of the Queen Mother and her future Majesty." Zhang Jack was trembling slightly now, and his voice was trembling.
"How will I, my concubine, face your majesty after a hundred years with such indifference to human life?" After saying this, Empress Liu almost fainted, but fortunately she was supported by the maids nearby.
"I respectfully welcome Empress Liu back to the palace." Zhang Jack motioned to his maid and the soldiers to escort Empress Liu back to the palace. Empress Liu weakly supported her on her body.
When Empress Liu was about to leave, Zhang Jackal shouted: "Queen Liu, it's time to change the maids and chamberlains in your palace." Empress Liu looked at him suspiciously, and before she could ask, Zhang Jackal called Yang Huan over and said
, "Mr. Yang, I hope you will be promoted to the rank of chief internal official. All matters inside and outside the palace will be entrusted to you."
"Old slave, I obey."
Zhang Jack pretended to be reserved and asked: "Manager Yang, who told His Majesty that Shi Zun has not arrived? You must investigate these people who are misleading the public with their monstrous words."
As he spoke, he saw a little maid behind Empress Liu paralyzed on the ground. Yang Huan frowned, and the old woman beside her nodded. She already understood that the maid had spilled the beans, and signaled her left and right to take the maid out, and only went to
Throwing it down a well, there was only a "pop" and no more sound.
After this bloodbath, the palace attendants and maids were already trembling with fear. Everyone was in danger. Some people's legs were trembling and they fell limply to the ground.
Zhang Jack looked around and was very proud of his power.
"Manager Yang, is Shi Bin safe in Xiangguo? This matter may be involved."
"I will investigate in detail," Zhang Jack frowned, and Yang Huan understood instantly: "No, I have found out the charges and will execute them overnight."
"In that case, I entrust you with my full commission."
After this bloody change in the Zhao court, all the attendants and maidservants around Shi Hu had been replaced. The stone tiger was lying on his back on the couch and had become a withered bone in the grave. It was not far away that the oil was gone and the lamp was withered.
Early on the next morning, when all the ministers went to court, they saw that all the guards inside and outside the palace had been replaced. The guards stood with spears and swords in hand, and there was a scene of solemn killing. In the main hall, Prince Shi Shi sat on the throne, and behind the curtain sat Empress Liu, with an expressionless face.
Zhang Jackal sat sideways.
The ministers stood on both sides of the hall and stood still.
I saw Yang Huan, the general manager, step forward and preach: "Zhang Jacky is loyal to the country and has made great strides. Although he has made great contributions to Zhou Zhao, he cannot be praised... He then made Zhang Jacky the Taibao, the commander of the Chinese and foreign armies, recorded the affairs of the minister, and gave him swords and shoes.
When he went to the palace, he performed the work without any name, and when he entered the court, he did not follow the trend. He faked the yellow ax and made the three counties of Wei Commandery a fiefdom."
Your Highness and ministers were all shocked, and everyone whispered to each other for a long time.
After all, Sikong Li Nong was the leader of the important ministers of the three dynasties who wrote letters to support the establishment of Shishi. He did not avoid threats. At this time, he was filled with anger and went straight to the center of the court to stand and said: "Since ancient times, treacherous ministers have usurped the country, and they still know the etiquette of three speeches and three receptions. Today Zhang
How can you feel at ease when a general with no merit is given such a high position?"
On the stage, Zhang Jack was about to have an attack, when he saw the young prince Shi Shi standing up in a panic and saying, "Sikong, don't talk anymore. It is this prince who wants to confer the title of General Zhang, and it has nothing to do with General Zhang."
Li Nong was very angry and said, "Since the prince has said this, I have nothing to say. I want to see your majesty. Your majesty, if there is such a minister in the Zhao court, the country will not be a country, your majesty."
Zhang Jack said angrily: "Come here, take this person down quickly and order someone to interrogate him severely."
All of a sudden, all the ministers begged for mercy, and one person said: "Li Nong is an old minister of the former king. He has made many military exploits in opening up territories and territories. I hope General Zhang will show his respect."
Another person said: "His Royal Highness, on that day Li Nong led hundreds of officials to the court and appointed His Highness as the Crown Prince. This was the merit of his support. I hope Your Majesty will forgive Li Nong for his arrogance."
The prince was already restless at this time. He moved to Zhang Jack, lowered his head carefully and said: "General Zhang, I still need all the ministers in the court to help me govern the world. Can you leave a few ministers for me?"
Zhang Jack remained silent, and Prince Shi Shi stepped forward again and said: "Taobao, I will give this dragon chair to you. My mother and I just need to find a secluded place like Liu Xie's Shanyang Gong during the Cao Wei Dynasty. You
Just be Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and I will give up this world to you."
Zhang Jackwen was a little shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "I am trying to establish authority for His Majesty. If His Majesty refuses, I will take back my order without punishing him."
While they were talking, a guard came into the hall to announce, "Zhang Xiong wants to see you."
Zhang Jackal motioned for him to come in quickly. He saw Zhang Xiong holding a large wooden box tightly in front of his chest. He knelt down and said, "Shi Bin, King of Yan, has conspired to rebel. I have already killed him. I am dedicating this thief's head to you."
With Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
Shi Bin is dead? King Yan is really dead.
An old minister in the hall exclaimed: "The Kingdom of Zhao is about to end."
Everyone looked back and saw that the man was Xu Tong, the servant.
