Zhao Yan held the sword with the cold light shining in his hand, and although he was sick, there was wind at his feet, and he quickly rushed to Chang Hou's palace.
"Big~uh-"
When they saw the king along the way, the palace maids who were in a panic and wanted to kneel down or make a sound were all restrained by the guards on the dragon platform and did not make any sound.
So when Zhao Yan appeared in the palace, he suddenly saw his shadow holding a sword, and was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, "Ah! Your Majesty, what are you doing?!"
"Queen, I want to ask you, who stole Li Mu's military talisman?"
The slow words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing Zhang Hou to fall down. Her pupils reflected Zhao Yan's ferocious face, and the long sword might cut off her head at any time.
"Your Majesty, what did you say? What military talisman? Didn't Li Mu already..."
What else is there to say?
Zhao Yan's eyes were not blind. He shook his head and took a few steps back. His wrist shook and the long sword fell to the ground, "Hehehehe... Queen, Queen, I single-handedly lifted you from the humble mud to the throne. You! You!"
~Is this how you repay me?
The people of Qin are approaching the city. If we had Li Mu, why would we be like this! Why would we be like this! Why would we be like this~"
At this moment, he was actually crying in front of him instead of using the sword to end this woman's life; several masters standing outside sighed to each other silently.
"I, I..." Changhou looked at the fragile and crazy king, not knowing what to say. The Qin people attacked Zhao, so could Li Mu stop the Qin people?
"Your Majesty, I was wrong... Your Majesty, I shouldn't have listened to Luo Sheng's words and stole the military talisman. They forced me to risk Qian'er's life. I... I just wanted to save... I didn't want to either..."
"You said, Luo Wang!" Zhao Yan struggled to get up, clutching his chest, grabbed Chang's clothes, and asked close to her face, "You, Luo Wang?"
"I just want Qian'er to come back. I didn't collude with Luo Sheng. I didn't. Your Majesty, it's Guo Kai. It's Guo Kai. Everything is his..."
He was like pouring beans after advocating, talking incoherently about the secret things, crying and begging to spare his life. As he cried, he found that the hand holding his clothes had no strength.
"Your Majesty?" Her eyes widened, her whole body trembled, and a scream pierced the palace.
If it were possible to do it over again, I wonder if Zhao Yan would still insist on going his own way and choose an advocate with no background, no political vision, and no talent as his queen...
Zhao Yan learned that everything was caused by Luo Wang behind the scenes. His beloved queen and Guo Kai, whom he had grown up with since childhood, were the gravediggers of the Zhao State. It was difficult to accept such a painful truth. Sudden death was on the agenda.
In the harem.
King Zhao passed away and Handan was in chaos.
Zhao Liang, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Wu were the four masters trained by Zhao Yan. The Longtai Guards were also Zhao Yan's most trusted team. Neither Zhao Jia before nor Zhao Qian now was qualified to take charge.
After Zhao Yan died, did they know that Chang Hou, Guo Kai, and Luo Wang were ruined, so Zhao Qian still wanted to ascend to the throne and become the King of Zhao?
But Zhao Qian was a legitimate prince, so what could he accomplish with just relying on them?
Zhao Qian's party, headed by Guo Kai, occupies the name of righteousness, but a mere traitor still wants to slander the queen?!
Before Zhao Yan's corpse was cold, a huge riot broke out in the Handan Palace that night, with countless casualties in the West City. It was pitiful that a team like the Longtai Guards was beheaded by Zhao Qian, who had newly ascended the throne. Zhao Liang and other four people, only Zhao Zheng escaped, and the rest
The three of them went directly to see Zhao Yan.
The first thing Zhao Qian, who had newly ascended the throne, summoned his ministers to discuss was to ask Qin to surrender.
In the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty, while the main force of the Zhao army was attacking the State of Yan, the Qin army attacked Zhao with 400,000 people, and finally defeated the State of Zhao. King Zhao died. The newly succeeded King Zhao Qian, under the strong advocacy of Prime Minister Guo Kai
, announced surrender.
In 453 BC, the three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han were divided into the Jin Dynasty, and the once-powerful Jin Kingdom existed in name only. In 403 BC, King Weilie of Zhou officially recognized the three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han as vassal states.
In 231 BC, the State of Zhao was finally destroyed by the State of Qin, becoming the first vassal state to fall on the road to unifying the world (not counting the poor Korea before).
When the news came back to Xianyang, Ying Zheng held the victory report from the front line and his eyes became a little dazed.
"My mother has been manipulated all her life, so she just wanted to resist, but by some mistake, Lao Ai...
Fortunately, the king is wise and powerful, and now no one in Qin can stop you.
I am not worthy to be buried with the late king, so bury your mother back in Handan..."
Zhao Ji's dying words echoed over and over in his mind. How many times in his dreams did he want to conquer Zhao as soon as possible. However, for the ideal of unifying the world, he accepted Lu Yan's suggestion and spent more than five years consolidating the Qin Dynasty.
The foundation of the country. Until today, the Zhao Kingdom was finally destroyed.
After he finished reading the report, he waved his hand and asked Gai Nie and Zhao Gao not to follow him, and walked out of the palace alone.
"Mother, Zheng'er did it... Do you know that Zhao Yan, who bullied our mother and son, was angered to death!"
"Haha, why is he so angry? Do you still remember that follower Guo Kai who followed Zhao Yan? It was him, and Zhao Yan's queen, who personally helped me and destroyed the State of Zhao. Do you think he can not be angry to death?
What?"
"There is also Zhao Yan's son. His body is still cold. This unscrupulous son surrendered on his own initiative. It's a pity that Zhao Yan was not angered so that I could kill him again."
Ying Zheng followed his mother's conversation softly. His instinct as a king made his tears just accumulate in the corners of his eyes. He wiped them with his sleeves, looked up to the north, and murmured: "Mother, Zheng'er will be with you soon."
Return to Handan."
…
Yan State, dilapidated Jicheng
After the Zhao army wreaked havoc, they withdrew into the country to fight the Qin army. After all, many officials and nobles of the Yan Kingdom chose to return to this land and held a ceremony for Prince Dan to succeed to the throne.
Grand Tutor Ju Wu reported the latest news to Crown Prince Dan, who was already King of Yan, "Wang Qian of Zhao surrendered, and the Kingdom of Zhao is gone."
"Hmph, Zhao people are tyrannical and short-sighted. After all, they can't escape being destroyed by Qin. They are so tired that no one in the world can resist Qin! How hateful!"
If possible, Yan Dan really wants to point his finger at Zhao Yan and scold him. If you don't attack the Yan Kingdom, you will not destroy the country. If the Zhao and Yan families are harmonious, Ying Zheng will not dare to do so easily.
Start a war to destroy the country. It's better now, Zhao is gone, and all the following vassal states will have to finish it.
Seriously, there is nothing we can do... Ying Zheng!
As a childhood friend who had suffered together in Zhao State, Yan Dan suddenly remembered that according to Ying Zheng's temperament, it was very likely that he would go to Handan.
Ying Zheng’s son is only five years old. If Ying Zheng dies at this time!
Yan Dan suddenly became energetic. If Ying Zheng stayed in Xianyang Palace, there would be no chance of assassination. However, if he wanted to travel to Handan, he would have room to maneuver.
