A month later, in late July, just as Xiong Huai was accompanying Mrs. Song, who was about to give birth, to spend the summer, a waiter came over to report: "King, the assassination history has made Chen Zhen have something important to see." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, knowing that if it was just an ordinary matter, Chen Zhen would not take the initiative to ask for a meeting.

And the big thing... At this time period, either the Five Kingdoms are at war with Qi again, or Zhao's civil strife has broken out.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately responded: "Please assassinate Shi Ling to go to the main hall!" ”

"Yui!"

in the main hall.

As soon as Xiong Huai entered the main hall and was still walking in the hall, he couldn't wait to speak: "Xianqing came to find the widow at this time, but there was a civil strife in Zhao State. ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he nodded with a heavy face: "The king is like a god, it is the civil strife that broke out in the Zhao Kingdom. ”

"How's it going?" Xiong Huai, who was walking towards the throne, stopped suddenly, then turned to look at Chen Zhen and said, "How is Ziqing." ”

Chen Zhen swallowed his saliva and sighed: "Please mourn on the King's Day, according to Handan's spies, when Gongzi Ziqing and Gongzi Zhang fled to Daidi, they were ambushed and captured. Moreover, Zhao Guo's ambush army fired thousands of arrows, and Gongzi was also within the coverage of the arrow rain, so Gongzi's left arm was hit hard.

And... And..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhen looked at the King of Chu in front of him and couldn't say any more.

"And what?" Xiong Huai was stunned, his face immediately sank, and then he said loudly: "As long as Ziqing doesn't die, everything else is trivial." ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately said heavily: "Great King, someone in the Zhao State wants to put Gongzi Zhang to death, so the arrows that were shot at Gongzi Zhang at that time were all poisoned arrows that had been boiled with gold juice.

Gongzi Ziqing suffered such an arrow, so in order to save Gongzi's life, Zhao Guo ordered the imperial doctor to amputate Gongzi's left arm. ”

"What?" Xiong Huai felt a pain in his heart, and said angrily: "You mean Ziqing's left arm is gone?" Didn't keep it? ”

Chen Zhen looked at the grief-stricken King of Chu, nodded, and continued: "Not only that, after King He of Zhao pacified the rebellion of Gongzi Zhang, he also ordered Gongzi to be placed under house arrest, and only Gongzi's wife, Princess Zhao, and Wang Sunzhi were allowed to accompany Gongzi, and the other subordinates were all expelled.

Now, none of the people we sent to take care of Childe can be contacted.

Also, after King He of Zhao quelled the rebellion, he learned that Gongzi was involved in the rebellion, and he had sent an envoy to Chu to question the king why Gongzi participated in the rebellion of Gongzizhang. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he laughed angrily and said: "Okay, good, good Zhao Guo, not only did he want to take an arm of the widow's son, but he also came to humiliate the widow, and the widow still had to endure and endure." ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai said in a cold tone: "Xianqing, tell the widow, the widow wants to know what happened to Zhao Guo, and before Lord Zhao made a move, the rebellion of Gongzi Zhang was pacified?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "King, Gongzi Zhang's blatant misdeeds have aroused Zhao Xiangfeiyi's vigilance, so under Feiyi's strict defense, Gongzi Zhang has no chance.

But later, when Zhao's father convened the important ministers of the country to discuss the matter of attacking Qi, Gongzi Zhang strongly advocated that the Yan army should be merged into the Zhao army on the grounds that the Qi State was strong and it was difficult for the Yan State to cross the river, and then the Later Yan and Zhao coalition forces relied on the Gao Tang Dynasty to attack the northwest of Qi State, and let the Wei, Han and Song Three Kingdoms Alliance Army attack the southwest of Qi State.

Master Zhao's father agreed to this proposal at that time.

Subsequently, Zhao's father led the army to the Northern Tour of the Alliance Yan Wang. Originally, Fei Yi strongly asked Gongzizhang to stay in Handan to assist him in handling state affairs. However, Gongzizhang asked Master Zhao to let him follow the northern tour and go to Daidi to see on the grounds that he had not returned to Daidi for many years.

Master Zhao's father agreed to Gongzizhang under the bitter pleading of Gongzi Zhang.

As a result, on the road, Gongzizhang stayed halfway on the grounds that he was infected with wind and cold on the road and was seriously ill.

And just when Zhao's father was on his northern tour, the king of Qi suddenly ordered the Qi general to lead the army to surround Gaotang, and there was a great opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the alliance forces of the five countries had not yet united.

When Zhao learned of this, because Zhao's father was not in the country at that time, Feiyi discussed with his ministers, and asked Zhao Cheng, the national captain, to lead the Handan army to support.

Just after Zhao's father and Zhao Cheng successively took away most of Handan's army, Gongzizhang, who secretly returned to Handan, led himself and his cronies to 1,500 people, as well as Daidi, Zhongshan, and Hu people in the north to form an army of 10,000 people, and with the cooperation of Wangcheng and Handan City, they easily entered Handan City and Wangcheng.

Subsequently, Fei Yi led the defenders of Handan and fought fiercely with Gongzi Zhang's troops in Handan City.

A day later, Fei Yi was outnumbered and died in battle. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he said strangely: "Wait, even Feiyi died in battle, so how did King Zhao survive?" ”

“···” Chen Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "My lord, Zhao Wang He actually left the palace when Zhao Cheng led the army to support Gao Tang, and secretly went to Zhao Cheng's army. And the person who stayed in the palace of Handan was Zhao Sheng, the younger brother of King He of Zhao.

When Gongzi Zhang and they broke through Zhao Wanghe's dormitory, it was too late to find that the person inside was Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he said in a daze: "This fat righteousness is for Zhao Wanghe, he does not hesitate to use his body as a bait and repay the country with death, he is really a loyal minister and a righteous man!"

Moreover, since Fei Yi had been prepared for Gongzizhang's rebellion, he sent Zhao Wanghe away in advance. So...

Therefore, the matter of Zhao Cheng leading the army to support Gao Tang must also be a trap, a trap to lure Gongzizhang to rebel, and a trap to prepare to intercept and kill Gongzizhang. If the outnumbered people expected it to be true, the army led by Zhao Cheng must not have gone far. ”

"The king is like a god." Chen Zhen nodded and said: "On the afternoon of the second day of Gongzizhang's rebellion, Zhao Cheng, who went to support Gaotang, suddenly led his army to kill outside Handan, and the nobles of Zhao State, who had long been dissatisfied with the killing of Xiangguo Feiyi because of Gongzizhang's rebellion, immediately responded in the city.

Then, Zhao Cheng led the army and Gongzi Zhang's troops in a bloody battle in Handan City for two days, and Gongzi Zhang was defeated and left. Moreover, Gongzizhang encountered an ambush on the way to Daidi.

In the end, Gongzi Zhang was shot to death by ten thousand arrows through the heart, and Gongzi Ziqing, who fled with Gongzi Zhang, was also affected by the rain of arrows.

The twenty righteous men of the Mo family sent by the king were shot and killed sixteen on the spot, while the remaining four righteous soldiers were caught up by the Zhao army when they were guarding the escape of the prince, and then all of them were killed. ”

"True righteous man!" Xiong Huai was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Xianqing, pass the order to treat those righteous people, their parents and wives are all raised by widows. ”

"The king is benevolent." Chen Zhen sighed, and then spoke: "Also, king, when Zhao Cheng went to quell the rebellion, he did not return to Handan with Zhao Cheng, but went to Gaotang with Zhao Xiangfeiyi's disciple Li Dui, and let Li Dui take over the Gaotang Zhao army in the name of King Zhao.

Moreover, Zhao Wanghe also met with Qi Wangdi, who secretly rushed to Gaotang, outside Gaotang City, and announced that the two countries would turn hostility into jade silk and officially ceased war and formed an alliance.

Among them, Zhao State returned Gaotang and other places to Qi State, and Qi State would marry the princess as Queen Zhao after King He performed the crown ceremony. ”

"So... Qi and Zhao have formed an alliance? Xiong Huai said dumbfounded.

Chen Zhen nodded: "Yes." ”

"What about Master Zhao?" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What is Master Zhao's reaction now?" ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Back to the king, Master Zhao went to Qu Rebellion to meet the alliance with King Yan, that place is too far away, so the news of Lord Zhao has not yet come back."

However, now that Zhao Wang He has officially issued an edict appointing Zhao Cheng as Xiangguo, and Li Dui as the national lieutenant, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui have basically controlled the situation in Zhao State.

Therefore, how the situation in Zhao State evolves now depends on what Master Zhao thinks, and at the same time, it also depends on Zhao Cheng's methods. ”

“······” Xiong Huai sighed when he heard this.

Then, he remembered his son, Ziqinglai, and said angrily: "Come here, immediately execute Jiang Biao, a guest of Huaiyin Junmen in the prison, and send his head to the widow." ”

"Yui."

"Order, let the prince come to see the widow."
