Lou Chang asked, his expression became more and more dazed, and he just stared blankly into the distance. The distance was too far, and he couldn't see the reality clearly, but he still saw the colorful flags of the rebels falling to the ground.
On the battlefield, the falling of the general flag only meant one thing, that is, defeat. Could it be that Zhao Kuo once again came to seize the flag with a beheading general? He rushed directly into the enemy formation alone, beheaded Ping, and cut down Da Da.
flag?
Lou Huan took a deep breath, trembling all over, and hurriedly ran towards the bottom of the city wall. The soldiers on the city wall still didn't understand what happened, especially Zhao Bu. He just saw Ma Fujun rushing in quickly.
The enemy's flag fell down... The soldiers were stunned. For a moment, Zhao Bu didn't know what order he should give.
Lou Xu hurriedly walked down the city wall, turned around and looked at Lou Chang, and cursed: "Go back quickly! Don't let others see you again!" Lou Chang turned his head and looked at him, but Lou Xu ignored him.
He hurriedly got on the carriage and said to the driver: "Go to the palace quickly!" The driver heard his order and hurried towards the palace. The warriors had already surrounded the palace inside and outside. During the war, they wanted to
Getting in and out of the palace was even more difficult.
However, Lou Huan was different. He had a good relationship with these warriors and often entertained them in private. When they saw that it was Lou Huan, the warriors immediately went in to report. After a while, the warriors took him into the palace.
.In the main hall, King Zhao frowned. Zhao Bao sat aside and was saying something in panic. King Zhao turned away, but ignored Zhao Bao's words.
Lou slowly walked closer? Only then did he hear Zhao Bao's words.
"He was the first to propose the reform? Wei Wuji was in Zhao State and was the closest to him? He must have gone to the thieves... If he didn't want to surrender to the thieves? How could he rush out of the royal city alone? Could it be that he alone
Can we defeat the enemy?" Zhao Bao said, and then quickly said: "Please let Zhao Bu lead the elite to launch an attack while the enemy is not prepared, otherwise, if Zhao Kuo takes the lead in rebellion, Zhao will be destroyed!
"
King Zhao ignored him and just took another sip of wine.
"Your Majesty!! If you are not willing to send people to attack now! Then please kill your wife? Lest they become slaves!!" Zhao Bao almost shouted, what Zhao Kuo said on the carriage
Those words, and his direct order to leave the city, made Zhao Bao think: Zhao Kuo is going to rebel. If he doesn't rebel? Then he should lead the army out of the city instead of leaving the city alone? Unless he is a thief, how can a person do it?
What about putting down the rebellion?
King Zhao's eyes suddenly widened. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Ma Fujun~~Ma Fujun will never betray me!"
"Then what is he doing out of the city?!"
"Suppress the rebellion! My Mafu Lord! You will never betray me!" King Zhao was also angry. He stood up and actually clenched his fist. Looking at Pingyang Jun in front of him, he slowly unclenched his fist and sneered.
Said: "If you don't believe it, you can go back home first and kill your wives to prevent them from becoming slaves!" Zhao Bao was so angry that he cursed: "Sooner or later, Zhao Kingdom will die in your hands!"
Seeing the two people yelling at each other, Lou Huan narrowed his eyes and already had an idea in his mind. He walked up to King Zhao in a few steps, his face full of uneasiness. He bowed to the two of them, and they just stopped arguing. Lou Huan
Then he said: "Your Majesty, Lord Pingyang, I was on the city wall just now, preparing to organize the people in the city to participate in the city defense, but I saw Lord Ma Fu leaving the city alone and rushing to the rebels. The rebels were very happy and cheered Lord Ma Fu loudly.
name, what is Ma Fujun talking to them now..."
Hearing these words, Zhao Bao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up suddenly and shouted to King Zhao: "Your Majesty! Did you see it? Your most trusted Ma Fujun! What is he doing? You
Do you know what he is doing? You always trust your ministers too much and alienate your close relatives. What happens now? Your most trusted minister betrayed you, and the one you hate, I, my son Bu, is here.
On top of the city wall, we are ready to protect you!"
Pingyuan Lord has a great influence on Zhao State, not only because of his many followers, nor because of his high reputation, but because of his many friends. As a clan member, he is very good with the ministers in the country.
Friends, these people all respected him and loved him. Because of this, when Lord Pingyuan was in Zhao, the relationship between the ministers of different clans and the clans was very harmonious. They worked together, were close, and jointly assisted King Zhao.
After he left, the biggest conflict in the Zhao Kingdom broke out. The clan members who were constantly being excluded and the ministers who were becoming more and more powerful were both fighting for their own interests. Should the clan members be allowed to rule?
To rule the country, or should wise men be allowed to rule the country? The King of Qin appointed Fan Ju from Wei and defeated the clans around him one by one. Although they were all talented, the King of Qin showed no mercy.
In the State of Qin, the strength of the clan was suppressed to the lowest level. Foreign ministers and generals who climbed out from the bottom firmly occupied the top positions at the grassroots level. However, in the State of Zhao, it was different. The clan was still responsible for the local affairs.
The public offices were in control, but the top ministers with different surnames wanted more. Without Lord Pingyuan, the contradictions in Zhao's country gradually became intense. Zhao Kuo's position was very awkward. He was an official, not Pingyuan.
For a clan like Jun, his relationship with the ministers is very close.
King Zhao seemed to be discouraged and his body went limp, but he still shook his head and kept shaking his head, "It's impossible. My Lord Ma Fu will never betray me... Absolutely not... He won't
I will." Hearing King Zhao's words, Zhao Bao smiled miserably, sat down, and murmured: "It's over...it's all over..."
Lou Huan said: "Your Majesty, even if Ma Fujun has no thoughts of rebellion, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will be kidnapped by the rebels. Please send a trustworthy minister to continue to prevent the rebels from attacking..." Zhao Wangyao
Standing up unsteadily, he said: "No need...I will go there myself."
.........
At this time, Zhao Kuo was loudly telling these ignorant rebels about the Qin people's conspiracy. He said: "The second and third sons have been deceived. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Xinling at all. This is all Qin's conspiracy."
Marquis Ying has already sent someone to tell me about the plan. There are spies from the Qin people who participated in the assessment and became officials. They not only want to blame Lord Xinling, but also want to blame Lord Pingyang and other nobles."
Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the captured Qin people raised their heads in shock, "Yinghou? No, how could Yinghou tell Ma Fujun these things? But if no one told Ma Fujun,
How could he know it in such detail and even accurately arrest all the Qin people who sneaked in?"
But those soldiers who were deceived were extremely frightened at this moment, because they suddenly discovered that they were rebelling, and this was not because of Lord Xinling's order. Their actions had harmed their beloved Lord Xinling.
, some generals' faces were full of despair, they looked at the dagger on the ground, Zhao Kuo said hurriedly: "This is not the fault of the second and third sons, and no one needs to pay the price. The second and third sons did not kill anyone, they were just deceived.
"
"Believe me, I will not let Lord Xinling be implicated because of this matter. I will also ensure the safety of my second and third sons. Please don't have the idea of killing yourself. That will harm Lord Xinling and leave me with no choice.
Clarify for him..." Zhao Kuo spent a lot of effort to persuade those people, and then came the changed judges who were incited to kill the old officials. Facing them, Zhao Kuo frowned
.
"There are laws in the country of Zhao. If you encounter unfair treatment, why don't you come to Dong Chengzi, why don't you come to me? But you follow the traitors to kill those people? Except for the law, who would take other people's lives?
Where are the qualifications?" Zhao Kuo said, then sighed and said: "I promise the second and third sons that Dong Chengzi will conduct a fair trial." The last one is of course the victims of the disaster. To these victims, Zhao Kuo was very gentle.
Because they did not commit any crimes, they were just poor people who lost their homes and were forced to participate in the rebellion. Zhao Kuo smiled and said to them: "Please rush to Mafu Township. There are houses there that can provide shelter for everyone."
Rain, there is food there to fill the bellies of the second and third sons... Wang Fan... take them to Mafu Township and leave a few people to facilitate Dong Chengzi's trial. They are victims and they have nothing to do with this rebellion.
It doesn’t have any relationship.”
"But Lord Ma Fu, although they were forced, they also participated in the rebellion and helped to make siege equipment. Without forgiveness from the Lord, they are guilty." Li Yu said helplessly.
Zhao Kuo looked at these people. When they heard that they were guilty, most of them started to cry. The old people wanted to speak, but did not dare to say anything. Zhao Kuo smiled at them and said: "I thought
In the name of the king of the State of Zhao, I came to pardon their "crimes". If the king wants to punish, then punish me." Zhao Kuo said this, and the others naturally did not dare to say anything more, so Wang Fan took it with him.
These victims left here.
"Please go back with me..." Zhao Kuo said and got on the military chariot again. These people followed behind the military chariot and walked towards Handan with their heads lowered. When Zhao Kuo arrived at the gate under Handan City,
At that time, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to point their bows and crossbows at Ma Fujun, but because of the order, they could only raise their crossbows, but pointed them upward. Zhao Kuo raised his head, and in the midst of exclamations, Zhao Kuo
The king walked up to the city wall.
King Zhao stood at the top of the city and looked down. Zhao Kuo stood on the military chariot and looked at him.
King Zhao trembled all over. He spoke several times, but he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty! I have put down the rebellion! I have caught the people who instigated the people! These people were all deceived!" Zhao Kuo shouted, and King Zhao looked behind him. Sure enough,
, those people behind him all had their heads lowered, and several of them were tied up. None of them had weapons or even flags in their hands. King Zhao's eyes gradually brightened, and he laughed and shouted
: "Kaicheng!!!"
"Your Majesty...this may be..."
"Shut up! Kaicheng!"
The city gate was slowly opened, and King Zhao walked down the city wall quickly. Zhao Kuo's military chariot was parked aside. These unarmed soldiers lowered their heads and walked into the city. Zhao Bu led his elite troops to garrison.
On both sides, they escorted them to the school grounds in the city. At this moment, King Zhao rushed to Zhao Kuo's side. He walked over tremblingly, pushed the warrior in front of him away, and Zhao Kuo also stepped off the chariot.
"Mr. Ma Fu..." King Zhao held Zhao Kuo's hand. King Zhao looked very excited, his eyes were red and tears were rolling. He murmured: "I know, I know, you are
You will never betray me..." King Zhao was about to cry. Perhaps the news of Lord Xinling's rebellion had hit him too hard. Zhao Kuo explained seriously: "No one betrays you.
This is all a plan of the Qin people."
He told King Zhao in detail about the origin of these rebels. King Zhao no longer had the previous frustration and decadence. He widened his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "The vicious Qin people turned out to be their alienation plan!
", he said, and looked at Zhao Bao who was aside. Zhao Bao was a little confused at the moment. He looked at the surrendered soldiers, then looked at Zhao Kuo, and asked: "Why did you leave the city..."
"Suppress the rebellion and expose the Qin people's conspiracy."
"But you, you alone, how did you... do this..."
King Zhao was also a little surprised. He quickly asked: "How did you convince them?"
"I just told them that Your Majesty values talents and is benevolent and generous. In these days, you have light taxes and light labor. A wise monarch like him will never implicate the innocent... They all appreciate your past kindness.
Then he put down his weapon." Zhao Kuo said with a smile. King Zhao laughed again, looked at Zhao Bao with some pride, and asked: "You just said that the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed because of a few people?"
Zhao Bao was stunned.
Just when King Zhao pulled Zhao Kuo and everyone rushed towards the palace, Zhao Bu and others grabbed Di and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"Hahaha, it's very simple. Mr. Ma Fu went to the rebels, waved to them and said: I'm here, put down your weapons. Then all the soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered..." Di vividly recounted what happened at that time.
Danger, and talking about Zhao Kuo's courage, Zhao Bu and others were dumbfounded. However, after thinking about it seriously, if they were to attack Ma Fujun, and Ma Fujun suddenly appeared and wanted to surrender... there is a high probability that he would do it.
Just surrender...
Because of Di, Handan City soon became lively, and everyone heard that the rebellion was over.
However, the rebels who were rumored to be ferocious were defeated by Ma Fujun alone.
Ma Fujun just waved his hand towards them and asked them to put down their weapons, and they did so. Such deeds were really unbelievable and made people feel inexplicable. It was really Ma Fujun... and
Lou Huan, who knew the truth, suddenly became desperate. He had spent two years arranging the conspiracy, but Zhao Kuo solved it with just one sentence...
Fortunately, this matter is all pointed at Chang'an Jun. It should still cause greater conflicts in Zhao... right??
Nowadays, Lou's uncle and nephew no longer dare to jump to conclusions. Their confidence... has been shattered by the despairing halo of sages.
Even if an insider suddenly felt the kindness to Zhao Kuo and reported them, they would not be surprised at all.
