In the palace, Zhang Beichen said to Zhao Yun with shame: "I failed in the assassination and failed to complete the task assigned by the king. Please punish me!"
Zhao Yun waved her hand and said: "It's not your fault. My father is very powerful. Without a holy realm or an army, it is really not easy to kill him."
"My father is now extremely careful about food, accommodation, and transportation. The assassination plan can be terminated."
Zhang Beichen could only retreat and wait for an opportunity.
…
By this time, Ying Yin and others had already learned the news that Zhang Beichen was in Zhao State and started poaching people.
[A merchant from the State of Qin came to visit, and you received him. He turned out to be his secret envoy from the State of Qin. He brought you gifts from the King of Qin, gold and silver jewelry and a letter.]
[Ying Yin: Mr. Beichen, I am waiting for you to come back! 】
[The intimacy between you and Ying Yin increases by 10 points.]
[A merchant from the State of Wei came to visit and you received him. He was the secret envoy of the State of Wei and brought you a gift from the King of Wei, a sword, a letter and a mysterious package. 】
[Wei Yao: Lord Beichen, I miss you so much. Do you miss me? 】
Zhang Beichen opened the mysterious package and found that it was actually a piece of Wei Yao's underwear, with her scent still on it.
[The intimacy between you and Wei Yao has increased by 20 points.]
"This is too much!" Zhang Beichen discovered that all the gifts are now rolled up!
[A businessman from South Korea came to visit and you received him. He is a secret envoy from South Korea and brought you a gift from the King of Han, a piece of armor and a letter. 】
[Han Mengshu: Mr. Beichen, this precious armor was forged for you by my own hands. I hope Mr. Beichen is well.]
Zhang Beichen really couldn't stand it anymore. He was now working for King Zhao, but all these women came to "seduce" him one by one.
He knew that he could comfortably spend time in the simulated time and space by jumping to any one of these three countries.
"No, I must be strong-willed and cannot be easily tempted! I must complete all my achievements!" Zhang Beichen strengthened his heart.
He began to think of other ways to kill King Zhao Ling.
If assassination doesn't work, I guess I can only resort to military tactics.
Since we need troops to remonstrate, we must have troops!
Currently, the first person in charge of Zhao's military power is King Zhao Ling. Then there are his cronies, Prime Minister Tian Buyi and General Yan Fang.
"We don't need so many soldiers, we just need to find a way to control the palace. Just cut through the mess quickly and force King Zhao Ling to delegate power!" Zhang Beichen thought, then the only option left was the imperial guard in the capital.
Zhao Yun also thought of this, so she made preparations very early.
Zhao Hu, the current leader of the Imperial Guard, appears to be loyal to King Zhao Ling, but in fact he has been bribed by Zhao Yun and has become her subordinate.
[You discuss with King Zhao and prepare to gradually replace the palace’s defense until you have the strength to launch military remonstrance.]
…
Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun are in action, and others in the Zhao Kingdom are not idle either.
In the palace of King Zhao Ling, Gongzi Hua came to pay homage.
"Father!" Young Master Hua was in tatters, his face was thin, and there were injuries on his body. He looked extremely miserable!
In order to achieve this effect, Gongzihua starved himself for several days and even had himself chopped twice.
When King Zhao Ling saw Gongzi Hua, he was horrified and said: "My son, how did you become like this?"
Gongzihua cried and cried: "Father, it will be my father's birthday soon. The child came specially from the fiefdom to celebrate his father's birthday. Not long after he encountered an assassin, the child fought with him, and finally managed to save his life and see his father!"
"
He burst into tears, and King Zhao Ling was heartbroken and said: "My son is loyal and filial, and he is very touched by his father! Have all the assassins been caught?"
Gongzihua said: "We caught a living person."
King Zhao Ling asked: "Who dares to assassinate my son? I will avenge you for my father!"
Young Master Hua hesitated and refused to speak.
King Zhao Ling was suspicious and asked: "Don't have any worries. Just say, my father will make the decision for you!"
Only then did Gongzihua say aggrievedly: "Father, my son ordered someone to interrogate the assassin, and he turned out to be one of Sister Wang's men. My child thought that this must be someone who deliberately framed Sister Wang. Sister Wang would never do this to my child.
Dead hand!"
"You mean Yun'er?" King Zhao Ling was surprised and uncertain. As a father, he must know something about his daughter.
Zhao Yun has a resolute personality and is ruthless in her actions. If she thought that Gong Zihua would affect her throne, she might really send someone to assassinate him!
Now that Gongzihua was in such a sorry state, he still interceded for Zhao Yun at every turn, which moved King Zhao Ling even more.
He said: "My son, you go and have a rest first. As a father, you have to take care of this matter."
…
After returning, King Zhao Ling was still suspicious.
In the evening, he called his beloved concubine Wu to sleep with him.
Concubine Wu was beautiful and beautiful, and was naturally charming. As soon as she saw King Zhao Ling, Concubine Wu cried and said, "My lord, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Gongzihua was assassinated by Zhao Yun, the heartless man, and almost died."
King Zhao Ling comforted him and said: "This matter must be caused by someone with intentions, Yun'er will not be like this."
"Your Majesty, you know people but not their hearts!" Concubine Wu cried, "Zhao Yun has never liked our mother and son. I am also her stepmother in name. She has never paid homage to me."
"Young Master Hua wanted to stay and serve in the court, but she drove him away!"
"We, mother and son, thought that we could not embarrass the king, so we had no choice but to endure it silently. Who knew that she would now go even harder and want to kill Young Master Hua!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't take action, your son will be killed by her!"
"This woman has a vicious heart. Maybe it was her men who assassinated the king a few days ago!"
When Concubine Wu said this, King Zhao Ling became even more suspicious.
He ordered people to investigate the origin of the assassin, and all clues pointed to Zhao Yun's newly appointed Shang Qing, Zhang Beichen.
"Is Zhao Yun really so rebellious?" King Zhao Ling already had suspicions in his heart.
…
[Your father, the king, ordered you to enter the palace and consult with you about the government.]
There is new news on Zhao Yun's side.
She was hesitant. What if Zhang Beichen was exposed and King Zhao Ling was furious, and she was controlled as soon as she left?
But considering that King Zhao Ling had a more tolerant personality, Zhao Yun still chose to go.
In the Lord's father's palace, King Zhao Ling and Zhao Yun exchanged pleasantries.
Then he said: "Yun'er, a few days ago your brother Gongzihua came to wish my father a birthday. He was not living a satisfactory life, so I thought of my father and gave him a piece of land and made him king. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun had a choice before her.
[I agree to my father’s request and let Prince Hua break the earth and make him the king.]
[Rejecting the father’s request means that a country cannot have two masters!]
[Pretend to agree and find an opportunity to kill Young Master Hua.]
From the selection point of view, the third one seems to be more suitable. But Zhao Yun will not choose the third one because she made the same mistake in the previous simulation.
Although Gong Zihua acted pitifully, many people in the court actually supported him.
Because Zhao Yun was very dissatisfied with the old ministers of King Zhao Ling and always wanted to get rid of them. Therefore, these old ministers supported Gongzi Hua's ascension to the throne, so that they would have the merit of supporting him and would not be purged by Zhao Yun.
If he agrees on the surface, Gongzihua can quickly win over these people and launch a coup!
[You rejected King Zhao Ling’s request to entrust Prince Hua to the throne, which made King Zhao Ling very dissatisfied and even more suspicious of you.]
…
After Zhao Yun left, Concubine Wu cried to King Zhao Ling again: "Your Majesty, Young Master Hua has been assassinated again recently."
"When the king was here, Zhao Yun was so vicious. When the king gets old, will she dare to seize power? Who will protect the lives of my mother and son at that time! Your Majesty, you have to think clearly!"
King Zhao Ling was moved by her words.
Although he governs the country wisely and can even abdicate in his prime to let his daughter take the throne, this does not mean that he is willing to give up power!
If he could give up his power, he would not make himself the master father and control the power behind his back.
By letting Zhao Yun be the King of Zhao, he mostly wanted to be lazy and leave some government affairs to Zhao Yun.
If Zhao Yun wants to subvert him, even if Zhao Yun is his daughter, this is not allowed!
Therefore, King Zhao Ling called for Tian Buyi, the prime minister of Zhao State, to discuss the matter.
Tian Buyi said: "Your Majesty, King Zhao has a vicious personality and is very dissatisfied with our veterans. Once she gains power, our veterans who have fought with the king in the world will all end up miserable."
"Young Master Hua is kind-hearted by nature and has the demeanor of a great king. If Young Master Hua succeeds to the throne, Zhao will have nothing to worry about!"
After hearing what the veterans who accompanied him in conquering the world said, King Zhao Ling made up his mind.
He sighed: "Forget it, the king of Japan will depose Zhao Yun and let Young Master Hua ascend the throne."
…
[Fei Jian, a close aide of King Zhao Ling, came to tell you that King Zhao Ling planned to depose you.]
Zhao Yun has already learned the news, and she has placed close followers around King Zhao Ling.
Feijian is also a veteran who followed King Zhao Ling to conquer the world, but he has different political views from King Zhao Ling. He believes that King Zhao Ling's benevolent governance is not suitable for this era of great strife, and Zhao Yun's character is more suitable for being King Zhao, so
He then took refuge in Zhao Yun.
[You call Zhang Beichen to discuss it together.]
Zhang Beichen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should launch military remonstrance immediately. Control the imperial guards and force the master to delegate power!"
"As for Tian Buyi, Yan Fang, Gong Zihua and others, they can be killed!"
Since we want to remonstrate with troops, of course we have to kill some people. It is best to kill all the old ministers of King Zhao Ling directly! This way, we will not encounter any resistance to the implementation of the New Deal in the future.
Zhao Yun had a choice before her.
[I agree with Zhang Beichen’s point of view and prepare for military remonstrance.]
[Temporarily wait and see, waiting for the situation to change.]
[Give up the military advice, cry out to King Zhao Ling and plead for his support.]
Zhao Yun was naturally not the kind of indecisive person, she made her decision immediately.
"Zhang Beichen, Fei Jian. Gu ordered you two to prepare immediately. In a few days, it will be my father's birthday, and he will definitely relax his guard. At that time, he will control the HD and the palace and remonstrate with his father!"
"As ordered!" Zhang Beichen and Fei Jian went down to prepare.
…
Zhang Beichen had no soldiers, so he could only rely on Zhao Yun's confidant Zhao Hu.
He and Zhao Hu planned the process of military remonstrance and arranged it one by one.
After Zhao Hu left, Zhang Beichen was still worried.
After all, most people in this HD city are loyal to King Zhao Ling. If the military remonstrance fails, he and King Zhao will be offline in advance!
"Let's prepare for a backup plan." Zhang Beichen started digging tunnels again. He bought a house near the city wall and ordered people to dig tunnels day and night.
[The time came when it was the birthday of King Zhao Ling, and hundreds of officials congratulated King Zhao Ling on his birthday in the Lord’s Father’s Palace.]
King Zhao Ling sat high on the throne. Young Master Hua stepped forward first and brought a blood-red horse. He said, "Father, this is the Xiongnu's blood shadow horse. It is rare to see it in a hundred years. It cost the child thousands of gold to get it."
Bought it from a Xiongnu merchant! Dedicate it to my father! I wish my father a long life!"
King Zhao Ling was overjoyed, he just liked BMWs, swords, beauties and so on.
"Good, good, good!" King Zhao Ling said "good" three times in a row and said with satisfaction: "My son's gift is deeply touched my heart. I will reward you with three thousand gold pieces and a thousand pieces of silk and satin!"
"Thank you, Father!"
[The ministers came forward to congratulate him on his birthday one by one and offered congratulatory gifts. King Zhao Ling was very happy. 】
It's Zhao Yun's turn.
Zhao Yun ordered someone to bring a big wooden box and said, "My son, I present a huqin and ten musicians so that my father can enjoy family happiness after he abdicates!"
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, the expressions of the officials changed.
Gongzihua pointed at Zhao Yun and cursed: "Sister Wang, what do you mean by this? My father is in good health, do you want to force him to abdicate?"
King Zhao Ling also frowned and scolded: "Yun'er, why are you so ignorant of etiquette? You are worse than your brother!"
Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, her pretty face was cold. She raised her head and looked directly at her father, King Zhao Ling, "Father, since you have abdicated, you should go to the palace to take care of yourself. Now my father claims to be the father of the country.
You must make the decision on big and medium-sized affairs."
"My daughter, the King of Zhao, is useless!"
"How can a country avoid chaos if there are two kings?"
"Today is a time of great strife, and the disputes among the countries are endless. If Zhao State cannot be stable, it will not be able to grow, and sooner or later it will be annexed by other countries."
"Therefore, I sincerely ask my father to abdicate the throne and make way for worthy people, and no longer engage in political affairs!"
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, King Zhao Ling's face was ashen, and the ministers were frightened. They did not expect that Zhao Yun would actually attack his father at this time.
Prime Minister Tian Buyi cursed: "Zhao Yun, as a woman, you are unfilial to your father; as a minister, you are unloyal to the king. How can an unloyal and unfilial person take on a great responsibility?"
"Your Majesty, please depose Zhao Yun and appoint Young Master Hua to the throne!"
"Your Majesty, please depose Zhao Yun!" General Yan Fang and others also shouted.
King Zhao Ling couldn't hold back his anger at this time. He stood up and cursed: "Zhao Yun, my father has been very kind to you. He raised you from a young age and even abdicated the throne in his prime to make you King Zhao!"
"
"I didn't expect you to be so greedy and disrespectful!"
"Okay, today I will depose you and let your younger brother Gong Zihua take the throne. From now on, you will go to the sand dunes to guard the cemetery for me, and you will not be allowed to set foot in HD for the rest of your life!"
Young Master Hua was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his sister Wang was so stupid and dared to directly confront his father.
Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "Father, I'm afraid what you say today doesn't count! Someone is here!"
Zhao Yun gave an order, and the imperial guards surrounded them all. Some people also set up a magic circle on the ground. Even a master of the Nine Realms like King Zhao Ling would have a hard time escaping.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Hu walked towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun ordered: "Zhao Hu, immediately seize Young Master Hua, Tian Buyi, Yan Fang and others, and ask the master to return to the palace!"
However, after she gave the order, Zhao Hu remained motionless.
Zhao Yun felt something bad in her heart.
Zhao Hu said: "Your Majesty, I am a minister of the State of Zhao. I should be loyal to my father. I forgive you for not being able to obey your orders."
Young Master Hua laughed even more and said: "Zhao Yun, you didn't expect it, did you? Zhao Hu has already told me that you want to rebel!"
"A rebellious girl like you is really an embarrassment to my father! Zhao Hu, why don't you capture Zhao Yun?"
"How could it be?" Zhao Yun was shocked. In the previous simulations, Zhao Hu had never betrayed her once. Why did he betray her this time?
When she saw Zhao Hu looking at Zhang Beichen and ordering people to arrest Zhang Beichen, she suddenly understood.
"It's jealousy! Gu wooed Zhao Hu with the promise of a high-ranking official salary. But when Zhang Beichen first came to Zhao, he was worshiped as a high minister by Gu without making any achievements. Zhao Hu felt jealous, so he betrayed Gu this time!"
"Go!" Zhao Hu had already ordered people to take action.
"Your Majesty, run!" Zhang Beichen rushed over to cover Zhao Yun's evacuation.
There were still some of Zhao Yun's personal guards at the scene, as well as Zhang Beichen and Feijian's cronies protecting them.
[Zhao Hu led the imperial army to arrest you, and you fled in a hurry. In order to protect you, Feijian sacrificed himself.]
"Your Majesty, this way!" Zhang Beichen had already prepared a backup plan. He pulled Zhao Yun and ran all the way, mounted the horse he had prepared, and ran towards his mansion.
[The Imperial Guards are still searching for you and King Zhao, and you have hid in the house that has been prepared for a long time. King Zhao Ling ordered that HD City be sealed off and they would dig three feet into the ground to find you.]
Zhao Yun is now depressed. She has failed to seize power and is wanted!
"Zhang Qing, now that the city gates are blocked, how can we leave HD?" Zhao Yun asked.
Zhang Beichen pointed to the well in his yard and said, "Your Majesty, I have already dug a secret tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city!"
[You and Zhao Yun got into the secret passage and fled in panic. Because you were in a hurry, you didn't bring anything with you.]
[Soon, the secret passage in your yard was discovered, and soldiers began to search for you outside HD City. You had to stay in bed day and night, and you were in a state of embarrassment. ]
Zhao Yun's royal robe had long been discarded, and her clothes were torn by branches and thorns, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
She was extremely depressed. She was also the King of Zhao after all. How could she be reduced to this situation?
"Your Majesty, arrest warrants have been issued to various places, where are we going?" Zhang Beichen asked Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "Go to Xindu. Zhao's general Xinnan is Gu's confidant. He has hundreds of thousands of troops and can help Gu make a comeback!"
This Xinnan was the general who was used by Han Mengshu to instigate rebellion in the previous simulation.
He is indeed relatively loyal to Zhao Yun. If Zhao Yun hadn't doubted him and planned to attack him in that game, Xinnan would not have betrayed Zhao Yun.
"It's a long way to Xindu, so the king must be prepared to endure hardships!" Zhang Beichen reminded.
"Let's go!" Zhao Yun gritted her teeth. Naturally, she was unwilling to admit defeat now.
[King Zhao Ling announced that he would depose Zhao Yun and order Gongzi Hua to ascend the throne and proclaim himself king. Gongzi Hua changed his name to Zhao Hua. After Zhao Hua took office, he executed all Zhao Yun's cronies in the court and ordered all countries to offer rewards for Zhao Yun. ]
Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun had experienced a life of escape. They had no money, and they did not dare to enter the city or the village, let alone talk to people. They could only dress up in disguise and ask for directions.
A good emperor simulation turned into a wilderness survival game!
