Zhao Kuo was stiff all over, and he didn't know how long he stayed there.
He walked out of the palace in a daze, and Ge hurriedly followed him out. He saw something was wrong with Zhao Kuo's expression, and hurriedly asked: "What happened?" Zhao Kuo did not answer, looking dazed, and Ge hurriedly caught him.
Zhao Kuo grabbed his shoulder and asked eagerly: "What happened in Changping?" Zhao Kuo came to his senses, looked at him and said: "Take me to General Le Yi's house."
Hearing this sentence, Ge's heart trembled, as if he understood something.
Zhao Kuo sat on the carriage and rushed towards General Le Yi's house at full speed. The strong wind in front of him made Zhao Kuo shrink back and tremble all over. For some reason, the winter in Handan is far worse than that in Bairen.
Even more cruelly, when the carriage arrived at Le Yi's mansion, Ge supported Zhao Kuo, who was stiff, and stepped out of the carriage. The door of General Le Yi's mansion was locked, and Zhao Kuo walked to the door.
The door looked a little lonely and covered with dust.
Zhao Kuo stretched out his sleeves, carefully wiped the dust on the door, and knocked.
Zhao Kuo stared blankly at the door and stood for a long time. Ge, who was not far away, sighed and walked slowly to his side, "Young Master, my condolences... General Le Yi lived a long life, this is a happy burial...
..", Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Go to Lin Gong's mansion." The carriage drove away again, but Zhao Kuo just looked at the silent courtyard in the distance, getting further and further away, until it disappeared in his own
In front of you.
When Zhao Kuo knocked on the door of Lin Xiangru's courtyard, his guest came out quickly. When he saw Zhao Kuo, he was happy at first, but the joy soon dissipated. He opened the door, and Zhao Kuo and Ge
After walking into the courtyard, Lin Xiangru's courtyard seemed a bit messy now. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Zhao Kuo heard the ethereal sound of the piano, which came from the inner room.
Zhao Kuo didn't understand music, but he could still hear some sadness from the low sound of the piano. Zhao Kuo stopped here, held back the guest who wanted to report, and just listened carefully until the sound of the piano stopped.
Then, Zhao Kuo and his guests walked into the inner room. Lin Xiangru was sitting in the room, with a piano in front of him. He looked older than a few months ago, and he was skinny. His hands playing the piano were
At this moment, I was trembling slightly and couldn't control it.
He raised his head and stared at Zhao Kuo with his cloudy eyes. After a moment, he recognized him and shouted happily: "Zhao Kuo!"
Zhao Kuo sat in front of him. Lin Xiangru was very excited and asked, "I heard that you defeated the Yan people?"
"Is such that."
"Okay... okay... cough cough..." Lin Xiangru coughed violently, and then he sighed and said: "The day after you left, General Le Yi left... Your Majesty
I personally mourned and mourned for him, but he passed away easily, unlike me... dragging a useless body, suffering from diseases every day, and worrying about Zhao Guo's affairs... I am very
I envy him."
"He..." Zhao Kuo was speechless. His mind was full of that gentle old man lying on the hospital bed, recalling the past and shouting about the scene when Zhao Kuo was robbed. He still remembered that he was being robbed by Zhao Kuo.
When the ministers were besieging him, General Le Yi dragged his sick body and angrily scolded the ministers. The smiling old man disappeared and could never be seen again. Lin Xiangru said with a smile: "He loves you very much."
"He said that you are different from any general. I wanted to take him to see you off, but he said that you will definitely defeat the enemy. When you return victorious, just go out to greet you. There is no need to see you off. There is no need Come to think of it, he didn't wait for the day of your triumphant return."
Zhao Kuo lowered his head and covered his eyes with his right hand. Big tears fell from his eyes and streaked his face.
"I want to meet him."
General Le Yi was buried in Handan, and Zhao Kuo sat in front of his grave for a long time.
.......
Sikou Mansion is located in the west of Handan, far away from the palace, mainly because it is an unlucky place where punishments are held. Sikou Louchang is sitting in the upper position, and three officials are sitting on his right hand, holding bamboo slips and recording. , and standing in front of Lou Chang was Lieutenant Xu Li.
"You attacked the general, held him hostage, and issued military orders privately. I, Shizuyi, Shizujia, and Wu Changcun were the ones who witnessed this incident. These four people are willing to testify against your crime."
"The soldier Yi said: He saw you attacking the general, put a dagger on the general's waist, and held him hostage."
"Shizujia said: He saw you break off the general's finger."
Lou Chang said, raised his hand, gestured to the officials around him, and said: "Louchang said: He was attacked by you, broke off his fingers, was held hostage, and was asked to issue military orders." After saying this, he only He looked at Xu Li in front of him and asked, "Which piece of evidence do you have questions about? Do you want to defend yourself?"
Xu Li looked at him and said calmly: "I plead guilty."
Lou Chang nodded, and several officials around him started recording again. Lou Chang then said: "Your crime is to attack the general, kidnap the general, and change the military order. The crime should be executed." Xu Li did not have the slightest fear. , not even the slightest bit moved, Lou Chang waited for a moment, and then said helplessly to his left and right: "Please don't record the rest of the conversation."
The officials nodded, and then Lou Chang said: "Xu Li, you and I are colleagues and have worked together for more than ten years. I really don't want to see you die like this. If someone can intercede for you, or use his own merits To offset your crime, you can be exempted from punishment."
"No one will plead for me."
Lou Chang frowned and said: "As an important minister of Zhao State, Zhao State is in the most critical moment now. How can you just give up? Can't you save your life to solve the problem for the Lord? Confused?"
"With a talented person like you by your side, what do I need to worry about? If you want to kill me, please give the order." Xu Li said coldly.
Lou Chang pondered for a long time and then said: "You have committed a crime, but considering your past achievements, there is no need to behead you. Your position will be removed and changed to Yuanyang County Magistrate of Yunzhong County. Please leave immediately!" The officials quickly recorded it, but Xu Li just looked at Lou Chang arrogantly, without thanking him for his forgiveness, and turned to leave. Lou Chang looked a little angry and said nothing, and the officials walked up to him with a smile.
"This guy treats you so rudely, why don't you kill him?"
I do want to kill him, but King Zhao must be willing to kill him, right?
Lou Chang shook his head and said, "Although he is arrogant, he is an upright man and has made many military exploits. I don't want to hurt him." When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but praise Lou Chang's character. Lou Chang smiled modestly. , then he walked out of the mansion and sat on the carriage. Lou Chang stretched out his hand, muttering something in his mouth, and retracted his fingers one by one. When he retracted the fourth finger, he smiled and muttered something. Author: "Xu Li."
In the end, only his thumb was still erect. Lou Chang squinted his eyes, looked at his fingers, and said with a smile, "Yu Qing."
The envoys from the State of Qin came to the State of Zhao, and they were all helping the helpless Zhao people along the way. The news of the envoys from the State of Qin spread rapidly in the country of Zhao at an extremely abnormal speed, and even reached the Zhao State within a short time.
The people of Zhao State are the happiest. Could it be that Qin State is coming to negotiate peace? The war is finally over? Are relatives coming back?
These happy Zhao people can be seen everywhere. They gather on the road just to see the rumored envoy from Qin.
This news was brought to Zhao Kuo by Fu Zhao. Zhao Kuo felt that Fu Zhao was far behind Di Ke. If Di was still here, he would have brought the news to the envoy a few days earlier, and even the envoy
He could clearly tell himself the scale of the attack, and Zhao Fu just brought news that they were rushing to Handan.
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo frowned. He was no longer the simple boy he used to be. He did not think that the Qin people wanted to end the war. After thinking for a moment, he snorted and said: "In the past, Zheng Zhu envoy
Qin, they used Zheng and Zhu to confuse the other countries. This time, they sent envoys themselves, but the purpose is still the same as before, to prevent the appearance of the coalition forces."
Fu Zhao was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Then what should we do?"
"As long as the envoys of the Qin people are still in Zhao, all countries will not dare to attack Qin with all their strength."
"That vicious villain Fan Ju acts viciously but is also greedy. The messenger must have other purposes when he comes."
Zhao Kuo stood up, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and said angrily: "Since Fan Ju looks down on Zhao people and dares to use such despicable tactics to deal with Zhao Guo, then I will teach him a lesson so that he will not dare to do this again.
Look down on us, let him know that the smartest people in the world are not just in Qin!"
"This time, I will not let the Qin people be so presumptuous!"
"Gather the retainers immediately! Prepare horses, cloth, spears, bows and arrows, and set off with me!!"
