Chapter 531: Calculation
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
āā¦ā¦ā
A group of ministers echoed after the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and now King Zhao's soldiers and horses occupy the entire Chang'an City, and the prince is imprisoned again, and now he is only the head of King Zhao, after all, no one wants to lose his head.

King Zhao on the throne smiled, these ministers are very knowledgeable about current affairs, he doesn't care about Xiao Wenxuan's funeral, just bury it in the imperial tomb according to the rules, he doesn't even want to spend an extra penny on this matter.
And the accession of the thirteenth prince to the throne is just a formality, and now that the seal of the Great Yu Kingdom is in his hands, he has already grasped the supreme power.
Just when the hall was full of flattery, an official suddenly walked to the middle and scolded the courtiers: "A group of cowardly and cowardly disciples who recognize thieves as their fathers, the spirit of the first emperor has not yet rested, but they disregard courtesy, righteousness and shame to welcome such thieves." ā
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military clubs of the Manchu Dynasty said angrily: "Nonsense, what do you know as a little official!" ā
"Bold, you are disrespectful to King Zhao."
"Shut up, how can you be presumptuous above the court!"
āā¦ā¦ā
King Zhao's smile gradually froze at this moment, and he looked at the official standing at the end and asked, "Who are you?" And where is it? ā
The young man who reprimanded the ministers and said: "A certain is a nine-grade official, surnamed Sun, and his name is established!" ā
"Official!" King Zhao laughed disdainfully, and he said: "There are really no decent officials in this Chang'an City, and a small official can enter the room." ā
Sun Li sneered: "The rebellious thieves still dare to sit on the dragon chair, this court is just a place to hide filth and dirt, if it weren't for the fact that he was not here to scold the thieves in person, he wouldn't have come here!" ā
"Bastard, someone will take this person down and hack him to death!" Zhao Yuanliang held back his anger when Sun Li said the first sentence, and now he finally couldn't help it.
Sun Li looked up at the sky, he was not afraid, he said to King Zhao: "The crown prince killed the monarch and rebelled, but the thirteen princes should also have the edict of the emperor, if not, how can you rely on your own words of King Zhao to set up the thirteen princes as kings." ā
King Zhao's eyes narrowed, like a beast that chose to devour people, he stood up and walked from the throne to Sun Li.
"With this sword in the king's hand."
King Zhao's face suddenly distorted, and a sword stabbed into Sun Li's chest.
"Traitor, you won't die well sooner or later!" Sun Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widening angrily.
The other officials trembled with fright, and some of them simply sat down on the ground.
"This Sun Li actually collided with His Royal Highness King Zhao, damn it!"
"yes, damn it!"
āā¦ā¦ā
Officials shuddered.
King Zhao's face was cold, and then he suddenly laughed out loud, he raised the sword in his hand, and pointed at the ministers in the court one by one, as long as the ministers were pointed out, they were immediately frightened.
Seeing this, King Zhao became more and more happy, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, you Aiqing don't have to worry, the main thing is that you can assist this king wholeheartedly, and this king will return to ensure your safety." ā
"Yes, Your Highness." The loyal minister immediately shouted loudly.
King Zhao nodded, and then said: "Since this is the case, we will make a blood alliance, if you dare to betray this king, you will end up like this." ā{
Baiguan looked at Sun Li, who fell to the ground, and became more and more frightened in his heart.
After a pause, King Zhao said: "Yuan Liang, go and get the bowl, today you will drink the blood of Sun Li with this king." ā
"Yes, Father."
After that, Zhao Yuanliang sent someone to get the porcelain bowl, and after a while, the guards came with the porcelain bowl, and after Sun Li's blood was filled, the guards handed the bowl to the ministers.
Then some of the other guards held the jar and poured wine into each official's bowl.
After seeing that each minister had it in his hands, King Zhao took the wine mixed with blood and drank it down, and then slammed the bowl on the ground.
Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to drink at this time.
"Hmm!" King Zhao let out an angry snort at this time.
Under the deterrence of King Zhao, the ministers gritted their teeth and drank the wine with their eyes closed.
At this time, King Zhao was slightly satisfied, and he said: "Tomorrow the first emperor will be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the thirteen princes will be enthroned the day after tomorrow." ā
"Yes, Your Highness."
The ministers responded.
With a wave of his hand, King Zhao ordered the hundred officials to leave, and after the civil and military officials left, Zhao Yuanliang and Wang Xi walked to King Zhao's side.
"Father, this trick is really high, I see who else in this Chang'an will dare to oppose us in the future." Zhao Yuanliang said.
Wang Xi also said: "No, a small Jiupin Yanguan dares to insult His Highness like this, it's just against him." ā
"This kind of little official is the best way to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so you don't need to take it to heart." King Zhao sneered, and then he asked, "Yuan Liang, has this Chang'an Mansion, grain, grass, and weapons been cleared?" ā
"Father, make it clear, there are 1 million taels of gold, 12 million taels of silver, and 7 million stone ......of grain in this treasury," Zhao Yuanliang said the various materials in the treasury one by one.
King Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and he said: "With this treasury as the cornerstone, why can't this king rule the world, but unfortunately, half of these materials have to be distributed to the barbarians." ā
"It's a shame indeed." Zhao Yuanliang said: "If you knew that this Chang'an City could be taken so easily, why did you borrow troops from the barbarians in the first place. ā
"No, with the 50,000 iron horsemen of the barbarians, we have the advantage of competing for the world, and we can get a lot of money and food from the city general every time we go down the city, this business is still worth it." King Zhao said.
When Zhao Yuanliang heard this, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he remembered Xiao Ming's humiliation of himself at the beginning, so he said: "Father is right, there are a large number of cities outside of Chang'an, especially this land of Qingzhou, if we take it, we will not worry about the casting of this musket and artillery." ā
"You mean to attack Qingzhou?" King Zhao frowned.
"Yes, Father."
Wang Xi saw King Zhao's unhappy expression, and thought that King Zhao must have other ideas, so he said to Zhao Yuanliang: "Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World should not be impatient, this King of Qi is not a simple person, and if the situation is changing rapidly today, if we rashly start a war with the King of Qi, I am afraid that we will only lose our troops and lose our strength, but let other vassal kings reap the benefits." ā
King Zhao's brows stretched slightly, this is what he thought in his heart, the arquebuses and artillery in this world are all from Qingzhou, and the barbarians have been defeated in the hands of Xiao Ming twice, he is not willing to directly clash with Xiao Ming at this time.
In his opinion, not only can he not turn his face with Xiao Ming now, but he must appease Xiao Ming, so that he will have time to control the royal family and the land in his own hands.
After cleaning up the other vassal kings, he turned around and annihilated Xiao Ming in one fell swoop with an absolute superiority in strength with the barbarians.
