Chapter 98: King Zhao, You Are Too Filial! 5000 words
In Zhaowang Palace, a woman in palace clothes was lazily lying on her side on the dragon's roof.
She has a slender figure, and her long legs are particularly conspicuous. One leg is stacked on top of the other, the lines are smooth, the color is as bright as jade, and the appearance is excellent!
Her upper body is not bad either, with a slender waist and plump bust. Her face is pretty, straight and straight, her eyes are deep-framed, and her eyes are like stars, which seem to hide countless secrets.
This is the current King Zhao, Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun is nineteen years old this year and has been on the throne for less than a year. Compared with the queens of other countries, the most special thing about her is that her father is still in the prime of life!
Her father, King Zhao Ling, worked hard when he was young and learned the fighting methods of the nomadic people, making the Zhao country rich and powerful.
King Zhao Ling was strong and had no problems, but he considered that the disputes between the various countries were ongoing, and Zhao was caught in the middle, making it difficult to deal with them.
Therefore, King Zhao Ling voluntarily abdicated the throne and called himself the father-in-law to handle diplomatic matters. He let his daughter Zhao Yun succeed to the throne and manage internal affairs.
In this way, the State of Zhao has two "kings". Zhao Yun is the King of Zhao in name, but the power is actually in the hands of her father, which makes it difficult for her to implement either governance or reform.
"Gu's biggest enemy is not other countries, but Gu's father!" Zhao Yun sighed in her heart, "Although my father has the talent to strengthen the country, he is too kind. How can such a king rise in troubled times?
?”
"If the father does not truly abdicate the throne, he alone cannot be called the King of Zhao!"
Zhao Yun was thinking about it when she suddenly received a prompt: "The simulator has finished cooling down, you can start the simulation again."
"Can we simulate again?" Zhao Yun became interested, but at the same time she felt unwilling to admit defeat. The simulation has been carried out so many times, and she has never been able to unify the world.
At the end of every game, she was a bystander. She saw the unification of the Qin State, the unification of the Wei State, and even the little South Korea next to it was able to unify the world!
This aroused Zhao Yun's desire to win. They were all good at it, so was she worse than them?
"Start the simulation!" Zhao Yun entered the simulated time and space.
…
In the Qin State, Ying Yin was practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field.
"The simulation has started?" Ying Yin wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and sheathed his sword.
"This time, I can still be the emperor!"
"By the way, we must be on guard against Wei Yao and the demon. If the demon dares to appear, we will kill him directly!"
Ying Yin thought of the scene when Wei Yao stole his home in the last game, and he still felt uncomfortable in his heart!
…
"It's simulated!" When Wei Yao saw the simulation, she hurriedly ran to her bed and lay down in the most comfortable position.
"Jun Beichen, I'm coming again! Hehe!" Wei Yao had been thinking about meeting Zhang Beichen again since she said goodbye last time.
It's a pity that in reality, as the monarch of Wei State, she really has no way to meet Zhang Beichen.
In simulation, anything is possible!
…
"What should we do in this simulation?" Han Mengshu was thinking at the moment.
Her forbearance in the last game did give her a chance to become emperor. In the end, because Zhang Beichen gave up, this seemed to be a feasible idea.
"Wei Yao's idea seems to be good, I can also learn from it!" She reviewed the simulation process after the last simulation, and naturally discovered Wei Yao's theft.
"Draw the card first. If you can draw Zhang Beichen, it's best. If you can't draw, you have to increase his favorability!" Han Mengshu thought to himself.
…
Zhang Beichen also entered the simulation and is waiting for his identity to be confirmed.
…
"smoke!"
"Pull again!"
"I'll draw again!" Wei Yao started drawing cards like crazy, but unfortunately she never drew Zhang Beichen. Seeing that the treasury's money and food had reached the danger level, she had to give up.
…
"I didn't get it. It seems that Zhang Beichen is not in Korea this round." Han Mengshu didn't get Zhang Beichen's card either.
…
"Who is the Prime Minister of the State of Qin?" Ying Yin checked his ministers list and opened it. He saw that the Prime Minister's position was not Zhang Beichen, but Jing Ping.
This means that Zhang Beichen is at someone else's house during this round.
"It's okay, I can still snatch Lord Beichen back!" Ying Yin is now very confident. She has simulated it too many times and has mastered several methods of Qin's rise.
…
"Congratulations on drawing a famous official - [referring to a deer as a horse: Zhang Beichen], one and a half golden stars."
"Did you draw Zhang Beichen?" Zhao Yun felt slightly happy. She had heard the name Zhang Beichen too many times.
This card has basically been certified as a divine card by all the queens! As long as you draw him, you have a good chance of unifying the world!
"Why are you referring to a deer as a horse?"
Zhang Beichen's [Referring to a Deer as a Horse] skin attribute shows that his personal loyalty is not high, and there is even a certain chance of betrayal!
This is a traitor card!
"Never mind, I finally got it, let's try it out!" Zhao Yun chose to recruit.
…
[As a scholar, you came to the King of Zhao. You asked to see the King of Zhao and were received by the King of Zhao.]
At the palace, Zhang Beichen saw King Zhao for the first time.
King Zhao is sitting on the throne with his legs crossed. His long legs are particularly eye-catching.
Her legs are really long and white, with thin calves, smooth thighs, and perfect proportions.
Zhang Beichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I can play with this leg for a year!"
He looked at Zhao Yun again. Although Zhao Yun was only nineteen, she looked like a royal sister, without the youthfulness of a girl, but with the pride and maturity of a royal sister.
At this time, she was looking at Zhang Beichen condescendingly.
"He looks quite handsome!" Zhao Yun thought to herself, "No wonder that little girl Wei Yao is obsessed with him. Even the arrogant aunt is fascinated by him!"
Zhao Yun’s aunt is from Ying Yin!
The Zhao family of Zhao State originally had the surname Ying, and she could also be called Ying Yun. After Zhao Yun's ancestors were enfeoffed in Zhao, they changed their surname to Zhao, and they were the same family as the Ying family of Qin State hundreds of years ago.
In terms of seniority, Ying Yin is of the same generation as her father, King Zhao Ling, so she is considered her aunt.
"Commoner Zhang Beichen, please pay your respects to King Zhao." Zhang Beichen shouted.
Zhao Yun had a choice before her.
[Appoint Zhang Beichen as a chamberlain to manage the internal affairs of the palace.]
[Appoint Zhang Beichen as a minister to participate in government affairs.]
[Let Zhang Beichen go to the military camp to train soldiers.]
【Include Zhang Beichen into the harem.】
Zhao Yun considered the four options one by one.
"Servant, if I remember correctly, Zhang Beichen worked for Wei Yao as a chamberlain before, but in the end he took away Wei Yao's power!" Zhao Yun was the first to rule out this option.
"Added to the harem?" Zhao Yun was disdainful. "Although he is indeed handsome, he is a man who has achieved great things. How can he be like Wei Yao, who covets men and neglects state affairs?"
"Writing or martial arts?" Zhao Yun thought, judging from Zhang Beichen's attributes, he has made great progress in both literary and martial arts.
"Let's start with the text and handle Zhao's internal affairs first."
Zhao Yun made a choice.
[You worship Zhang Beichen as your superior and order him to start handling the government affairs of the country.]
…
[You have been appointed as the Minister of the State of Zhao. The ministers of the State of Zhao think that you have received the salary without merit and are quite dissatisfied with you.]
Zhang Beichen began to study the situation of Zhao State. Since he followed King Zhao in this game, he naturally wanted to unlock King Zhao's achievement of unifying the world.
Zhang Beichen took a look and realized that Zhao Guo's situation was really troublesome!
The Qin State is weak, but the old clans still support the Ying Yin people in most cases; the Wei State is not to mention, the official power is strong, and Wei Yao can easily recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to go to other countries as long as she does not weaken the nobles.
South Korea is weak, but its civil servants and military generals all obey Han Mengshu's words.
In the Kingdom of Zhao, Zhao Yun is the King of Zhao in name, but in reality all the power lies with her father, King Zhao Ling. The first reaction of the ministers is not to implement the decree issued by Zhao Yun, but to ask her father for his opinion!
As a result, Zhao Yun was restricted in everything he did.
"If you want Zhao to be strong, a country cannot have two monarchs! King Zhao Ling must abdicate completely!" Zhang Beichen made a judgment.
But how can it be such a simple thing to make King Zhao Ling completely abdicate?
King Zhao Ling is young and powerful, and his martial arts cultivation is quite high, reaching the ninth level! If he had waited for him to age naturally, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Zhao would have been gone!
Unite the ministers and force him to delegate power? There is no chance. Almost all the ministers of Zhao Kingdom have been promoted by King Zhao Ling.
If Zhao Yun dares to express this intention, the ministers will definitely force Zhao Yun to abdicate!
"How about being more cruel? Directly assassinating King Zhao Ling?" Zhang Beichen thought to himself, "She shouldn't be able to accept killing her father, right? This is too filial."
[You observed while working in politics in the Kingdom of Zhao, and you found that King Zhao Ling was wise in doing things, and most of the time he let Zhao Yun do what he wanted.]
This makes Zhang Beichen even more troubled. If you, King Zhao Ling, are a little more stupid and make the ministers dissatisfied and the people are full of resentment, then you can be forced to delegate power!
You are still so wise. If you force King Zhao Ling to delegate power, it will be untenable both legally and morally.
If you ignore him, he will intervene in major matters.
For example, Zhao Yun originally wanted to appoint Zhang Beichen as prime minister, but now the prime minister Tian Buyi is a close associate of King Zhao Ling, and Zhao Yun has no power to transfer him, so he can only make Zhang Beichen the minister.
Zhang Beichen now faces a very embarrassing problem. He, the Shangqing, and Zhao Yun, the King of Zhao, are both in name only and cannot do anything they want to do.
[You tried to reform Zhao's conscription system, but Prime Minister Tian Buyi stopped it. He wrote a complaint to King Zhao, but King Zhao suppressed it.]
"This special meow can't do anything! No, we have to discuss it with King Zhao, no matter what, we have to oust her father!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
[You visit King Zhao alone and tell him your difficulties.]
…
"Your Majesty, after I took office, I put forward several reform proposals. Regarding land, taxes, conscription, and government administration. None of them passed. They were all stopped by the prime minister and the father-in-law. If this continues, I will be unable to do anything to govern the country." Zhang
Beichen expressed his bitterness to Zhao Yun in front of him.
Zhao Yun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Zhang Qing, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Beichen boldly said: "Your Majesty, my father-in-law has abdicated in name, but he keeps interfering in major matters, making the King's new policy unworkable!"
"Now is a time of great strife, and all countries are reforming to become stronger. If Zhao State remains unchanged, it will definitely be annexed by other countries!"
"Your Majesty, if you want the Kingdom of Zhao to be strong and have the power to dominate the world, you must ask your master to give up your power and let your Majesty become the real King of Zhao!"
Zhao Yun was not surprised. She seemed to have expected Zhang Beichen to say this.
"What Zhang Qing said is also Gu Gu's worry." Zhao Yun probed, "Does Zhang Qing have any ideas?"
Zhao Yun began to take the exam for Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen is also testing Zhao Yun. He wants to make her father abdicate. In all likelihood, using soft methods will not work. It depends on how far Zhao Yun can go.
He then said: "My father has been in a high position for a long time and has deep support among the people. It is useless to persuade my father to decentralize his power. It is better to find an excuse to transfer the cronies around my father, secretly control HD City, find an opportunity to admonish my father, and ask him to go to Xindu
Enjoy."
The Kingdom of Zhao not only has two "Kings of Zhao", but also two capitals. The official capital is HD, and the other is Xindu. Xindu is equivalent to the accompanying capital, and there is also a palace there.
"Zhang Beichen, you are so brave!" Zhao Yun scolded in a sweet voice, "How dare you let me bear the name of unfilial piety and force your father to delegate power?"
"Your Majesty, I am saying this for the sake of Your Majesty!" Zhang Beichen did not back down at all and emphasized: "The master's father's control of power not only affects the King's administration, but also puts the King's life in danger!"
"Worry for life?" Zhao Yun asked, "Worry for what life?"
Zhang Beichen said: "My father is young and powerful, has many concubines in the harem, and many heirs. Now that my father has the power and can hand over the throne to the king, he can also seize your throne at any time and hand it to other heirs! If such a thing happens
, how can the new king tolerate the king?"
What Zhang Beichen said made Zhao Yun nervous. Zhang Beichen was not alarmist, but something that actually happened in the simulation.
In the last simulation, there was civil strife in Zhao. It was because King Zhao Ling had a beloved concubine named Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu had a son named Gongzihua.
This young master is very well-established in Huacheng Palace, good at acting, and ambitious. He has been coveting the position of King Zhao for a long time.
He would often show his loyalty and filial piety in front of King Zhao Ling, how pitiful he was, and King Zhao Ling would inadvertently discover that he was being suppressed by Zhao Yun.
King Zhao Ling was kind by nature and couldn't see his son suffering, and Concubine Wu was blowing the wind, so he decided to depose Zhao Yun and let Gongzi Hua ascend the throne.
This triggered a coup, which led to the last simulation in which King Zhao had been dealing with civil strife and was destroyed by other countries before he could compete for hegemony.
Zhao Yun thought for a long time and said: "Military remonstrance may not be feasible. The military power of Zhao State is in the hands of Prime Minister Tian Buyi and General Yan Fang, both of whom are trusted confidants of the father. If Gu wants to remonstrate with his father, they will definitely not be able to do so.
Ken!”
"In my humble opinion, it's better to find an assassin and kill my father."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Beichen was stunned.
Because he was afraid of affecting the relationship between your father and daughter, he thought for a long time and felt that the military remonstrance would be more lenient, at least without killing anyone.
Who knew that Zhao Yun's initial idea was to kill her father? This was too "filial"!
"What kind of person is King Zhao?" Zhang Beichen suddenly felt that this Zhao Yun was a bit ruthless!
"Zhang Beichen!" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Beichen with cold eyes and said, "I leave it to you to assassinate Gu's father. Can you do it?"
A choice appeared in front of Zhang Beichen:
[Accept the appointment and prepare for the assassination of King Zhao Ling.]
[Rejected the appointment and suggested that King Zhao adopt the method of military remonstrance.]
[Accepted the appointment, complained to King Zhao Ling, and defected to King Zhao Ling instead.]
Speaking of which, King Zhao Ling is also the King of Zhao. If Zhang Beichen helps King Zhao Ling kill Zhao Yun and then unify the world, it will be considered an achievement.
But he wouldn't choose this way, "I'm sorry, King Zhao Ling, who made me the old pervert! Your daughter's legs are so long and beautiful!"
Zhang Beichen chose option one.
"I will definitely do my best!" Zhang Beichen began to prepare how to assassinate King Zhao Ling.
…
[You inquired secretly and learned that King Zhao Ling usually likes hunting and often takes his followers to the grasslands to hunt.]
There are many nomadic peoples in Zhao country, and King Zhao Ling also likes to contact them very much, and even hosted banquets for the leaders of these nomadic peoples many times.
He likes the culture of these nomadic peoples and often goes hunting on the grasslands.
"As long as you know the hunting route of King Zhao Ling in advance and prepare an ambush, you will have a chance to assassinate King Zhao Ling!"
"As soon as King Zhao Ling dies, the Kingdom of Zhao will completely belong to Zhao Yun, and then the old party will be slowly purged!"
[You bribed King Zhao Ling's cronies and learned about King Zhao Ling's hunting location. At the same time, you spent a lot of money to recruit a group of assassins and asked them to ambush at the hunting location in advance. 】
…
In the palace, the strong King Zhao Ling was dressed in Hu clothes, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, and a sword on his waist. He said to Zhao Yun: "Yun'er, go hunting with your father!"
Zhao Yun could not refuse, so she agreed to go together.
[King Zhao Ling led a team of elite soldiers to the hunting location. 】
"The weather is really nice today. I haven't been active for a long time!" King Zhao Ling was galloping on the grassland on his horse. He saw an eagle flying in the sky at a glance.
He took out his bow and arrow and said to Zhao Yunhe: "Look at me shooting down that eagle with one arrow!"
After saying this, King Zhao Ling bent his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow missed the eagle and hit the eagle. The eagle screamed and fell down.
"Hahaha, my archery skills are not new!" King Zhao Ling was feeling proud. Suddenly, several hidden arrows shot at him from the ground. At the same time, the surrounding turf was lifted, and a group of assassins came out.
"No, there are assassins, protect the king!" The guards rushed over to fight with the assassins.
King Zhao Ling pulled out his big sword and cursed: "Young people dare to assassinate me. I will make sure you never come back!"
After saying that, King Zhao Ling swung his sword and chopped. He had a cultivation level in the late Nine Realms and a dozen assassins, who were no match for him.
[Under the attack of King Zhao Ling and the guards, the assassins were wiped out! Only a few guards were killed, and King Zhao Ling was safe and sound. ]
Zhang Beichen: "..."
Why is King Zhao Ling so powerful? Assassins can't defeat him at all! If you want to quickly kill a strong man in the late stage of the Nine Realms, you need at least several Peak Nine Realms or half-saints to appear.
But the simulation of this simulated time and space has just begun. It is estimated that even Chu King Xiong Zhitong has not broken through to the semi-saint at this time. How can there be so many masters for Zhang Beichen to control?
[King Zhao Ling was assassinated and became furious. He began to investigate the cronies around him. Soon, the crony you bribed was discovered. He was tortured and questioned about the mastermind behind the scenes. Fortunately, you did not tell him your identity.
, the clues are interrupted. From then on, King Zhao Ling became more careful, and you will never find a chance to assassinate him.】
