Zhao Dan quickly rushed to Pingyuan Jun's mansion.

In the lobby of the mansion, some ministers had already gathered, and they all saluted Zhao Dan after seeing Zhao Dan arrive.

Zhao Dan asked Zheng Zhu in front of him, "How is the situation of Pingyuanjun?" ”

Zheng Zhu replied: "The palace doctor has just arrived and is treating inside. ”

Zhao Dan nodded and walked directly inside.

After a while, Zhao Dan came to a house, which was extremely gorgeously furnished, and it looked like Zhao Sheng's usual bedroom.

Several palace doctors who arrived after hearing the news were nervously treating Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Dan's footsteps alarmed everyone in the room, and everyone saluted Zhao Dan one after another.

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, how is Pingyuanjun doing now?" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Dan set his eyes on the bed.

I saw Zhao Sheng on the bed with his eyes closed, and he seemed to be still unconscious.

An old palace doctor, that is, the imperial physician of Zhao State, was whispering: "Great King, the main reason for the plain monarch is old age and weakness, and then in recent years, he has worked too hard, so after the wind and cold enter the body, it will cause yin and yang imbalance in the body, and even have this disease. ”

Zhao Sheng glanced at the imperial doctor in front of him, resisted the urge to slap this guy, and said in a muffled voice: "The widow is asking if it can be cured!" ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "King, I have already asked people to boil the medicinal soup, whether it has any effect or not, then we will not know until Pingyuanjun finishes drinking the medicinal soup." ”

Zhao Dan snorted and said, "The widow is waiting outside, and the widow will be informed at any time if there is any progress." ”

Zhao Dan came to the hall outside and sat quietly and waited.

More and more ministers of Zhao began to appear, and after seeing Zhao Dan, they were all taken aback and stepped forward to salute.

After all, Zhao Sheng has been a minister in the Zhao State for more than 20 years, and neither his connections nor influence can be compared with any minister of the Zhao State.

What's more, now that Zhao Dan is here in person, not only the ministers of the Gong faction, but also the important ministers of Longtai from other factions such as Yu Xin and Li Bo also heard the news quickly.

As night fell, the hall of Pingyuan Jun's mansion was full of people, Zhao Dan looked up and found that in terms of the lineup of people, this was almost the same as the usual big court meeting.

Because Zhao Dan was present, the seats in this hall were almost the same as during the usual court discussions.

Zhao Dan's gaze fell on Yu Xin's body.

Yu Xin sat there with a calm face, and did not talk to the people around him, as if he was incarnated as a statue.

If Zhao Sheng is really dead, then Yu Xin is the strongest candidate to inherit Xiangbang.

In this way, the voice of the cloth faction is bound to rise.

The Gong Clan faction had already lost Zhao Bao a few years ago, and now once Optimus Prime Zhao Sheng also fell, then there was only one dying old Pang Xuan left, and it seemed that the decline was a foregone conclusion.

To be honest, this is not the result that Zhao Dan really wants to see.

After all, the ministers of the Gong clan faction may not be proficient, but there is absolutely no problem with loyalty.

In the era of war, ability is the highest criterion for selecting ministers, but now that the world is about to be unified, the loyal ministers at this time are actually the ones who are more liked by Zhao Dan.

Maybe...... Should the cloth faction be properly suppressed?

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.

Zhao Dan subconsciously looked up and happened to find Mao Sui's figure.

I saw Mao Sui walking quickly to Zhao Dan's side and said in a low voice: "King, Pingyuan Jun has woken up." ”

"Awake?" Zhao Dan was overjoyed, and immediately stood up: "The widow is going to take a look." ”

Zhao Dan's voice was very loud, and it immediately spread throughout the entire hall.

Yu Xin raised his head and met Li Bo's regretful gaze: "Yu Qing ......"

Yu Xin smiled and shook his head slightly.

Zhao Dan walked briskly, and soon came to the room just now.

Sure enough, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, had already woken up and was drinking the medicinal soup in small sips under the service of his wife.

After seeing Zhao Dan arrive, everyone immediately stopped everything in their hands and saluted Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Pingyuanjun, seeing that you are fine, the widow is relieved." ”

What Zhao Dan said was really from the heart.

Zhao Sheng looked obviously quite weak, coughed a few times with difficulty, and then said, "Old minister, old minister has something to say to the king." ”

Zhao Dan hurriedly said: "Pingyuanjun still recuperates well, let's talk about anything until the illness is better." ”

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "No, the minister must tell the king immediately." ”

Zhao Dan had no choice but to let everyone leave.

"Pingyuan-kun, what is it that is so urgent?"

Zhao Sheng gasped for a few breaths with some difficulty, and then spoke: "King, although the minister has survived a catastrophe this time, the minister has a feeling that I am afraid that the minister will not have much time to continue to serve the king." ”

Looking at the haggard and old Zhao Sheng in front of him, Zhao Dan's heart couldn't help but feel gloomy.

In Zhao Dan's impression, Zhao Sheng, who was the first prime minister, was so high-spirited, but now Zhao Sheng has become a frail old man with white hair and lying on the sickbed.

For a long time, this plain monarch Zhao Sheng has been considered to be the more mediocre one among the four gentlemen of the Warring States, not as good as Meng Weijun in terms of employing people, slightly inferior to Xinling Jun in terms of army, and not as good as Chun Shenjun in terms of Kuang Fu Shaozhu's merits.

Even Zhao Dan himself once had the idea of replacing Zhao Sheng with Yu Xin.

However, judging from the past ten years, Zhao's national strength is thriving, and the external victory is constantly being achieved, and the entire domestic environment is also very stable, the national strength is constantly increasing, and various industries are developing in an orderly manner.

Although Zhao Dan is the most important factor at the helm, Zhao Sheng, as the chief steward of Zhao State, is also a great contributor.

It is not difficult to be a sharp person, but it is difficult to be a person who can unite everyone.

If anyone sits in Zhao Sheng's position, I am afraid it will be difficult to do better than Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Dan couldn't help but hold Zhao Sheng's hand, and said softly: "Pingyuanjun doesn't have to worry too much, these days you can recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind, and then come back to help the widow after you recover." The widow can't do without you, and the Zhao country can't do without the Plains Jun! ”

Zhao Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "The king doesn't have to comfort the minister, what is the minister's body, the minister's own heart is numbered." ”

When Zhao Sheng said this, he suddenly coughed hard.

After coughing, Zhao Sheng continued to speak: "The secret report that the king gave to the minister a while ago, the minister has already sent someone to confirm it. The relevant information should soon be able to be put together, and the king will know it at a glance when the time comes. ”

Zhao Danleng paused for a moment and subconsciously asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "The situation ...... Not so good. ”

Zhao Dan snorted heavily and said, "The widow knows that the greed of these guys is endless!" ”

Zhao Sheng showed a wry smile and said, "The king's words are scolded by the ministers. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Dan to continue speaking, Zhao Sheng said again: "King, the minister feels that although the matter has been investigated, now is not the time to do it." ”

Zhao Sheng's face was full of worry.

Zhao Dan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's wait for the widow to see the specific situation before making a decision." ”

Zhao Sheng shook his head with difficulty, and said, "King, you must be cautious in this matter, otherwise it will ......."

"The widow knows." Zhao Dan interrupted Zhao Sheng's words and said, "Okay, Pingyuanjun have a good rest, and the widow is going back to the palace." ”

Zhao Dan walked out of Zhao Sheng's door.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, Zhao Dan subconsciously looked up, and the bright moonlight projected down, making his entire figure bathe in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted by, blocking the moon's view.

The darkness covered the earth again, and Zhao Dan's figure also disappeared into the shadows again.
