Handan City Zhao Palace

A team of palace maids danced to the sound of drums, their long sleeves flicked, their heads tilted back slightly, their right legs slowly raised, and a slender thigh was exposed under the gauze skirt, and a person sat upright, holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, it was Zhao Wangdan, Handan City's size matters were handed over to Zhao Mu to deal with, Zhao Wangdan simply wanted to be comfortable, not only women need a strong backing, but also the weak King Zhao, every day the cumbersome political affairs made the new king of Zhao anxious, until Zhao Mu appeared, he couldn't help but light up.

The two rows of tables below are full of wine and meat, and a group of families are lined up on both sides, and one person above is Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, Zhao Wangdan's side, and the official positions in Handan City are almost occupied by Zhao Mu's cronies, even Zhao Shan, the palace guard commander who was trusted by King Huiwen who died that day, was also not spared, and he was eliminated on trumped-up charges, with the purpose of completely controlling the palace.

At the end of the song, the eight young maids retreated, and the eyes of the children of the clan never left the chest of these beautiful maids and slender white legs, worthy of being the women beside the king, with outstanding appearance and first-class figure.

Zhao Mu coughed, and everyone clapped their hands together, "Wonderful, really wonderful." ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, his eyes revealed a flattering color, and the afterglow fell on Zhao Mu on the side, with a strong body, a resolute and cold expression, decisive in his work, and the most important thing is to be absolutely loyal to himself, the person who originally thought that the best person for the widow was Zhao Kuo, but now it is finally clear that it is Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu got up, "The king is enjoying a peaceful world with his subjects today, you all respect the king together, and wish Zhao Guo an early hegemon to enjoy peace for generations." ”

Everyone got up and raised their wine glasses, "To the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan looked around at everyone with a smile and nodded, the wine glass was raised and drank slowly, and the waiter behind him hurriedly stepped forward to fill it, and one person got up and said: "Now that the state of Zhao is prosperous, the people are grateful for the kindness of the king, which is really the blessing of the Zhao country." ”

"The king is wise and wise, and Zhao Kuo replaces Lian Po, and today's good news is frequent, which shows the king's ability to employ people." When the man's voice fell, Zhao Mu's eyes came, with a bit of ruthlessness, the man's body trembled with fright, and he knew in his heart that it must be the mention of Zhao Kuo that caused the Hou Ye to be dissatisfied, so he quickly shut up and sat back in his place.

Zhao Wangdan's eyes blinked a few times, "Does anyone know what happened after General Lian returned to Handan?" ”

One person got up, "I've been visiting recently, but it's just hunting and farming, and I'm willing to be idle when I'm older." ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, "That's fine, send some rewards later, after all, they are meritorious ministers, and it can't make people feel that the king intends to snub these old ministers after the first king goes." ”

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "The king is benevolent and loves the people, but unfortunately those old ministers may not think so, especially that Lin Xiangru, since his high merit, since the king succeeded to the throne, he has been sick, and the people of this marquis have seen Lian Po go to Shangqing Mansion several times after returning to Handan, and the king has something to guard. ”

Zhao Wangdan's expression changed when he heard this, "What does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

Zhao Mu said: "Now among the people of Zhao State, except for the king, who has the highest prestige. ”

Zhao Wangdan said without thinking: "Naturally, it is the * military Lian who has made countless military exploits for Zhao Guoguo, and Lin Xiangru, the secretary who dared to denounce the King of Qin. ”

Zhao Mu nodded, "Yes, the two have a very good relationship in private, the first king has gone, Lin Xiangru said that he was sick and not in government, enough to see the contempt for the king, as for Lian Po's self-reliance, there is only the first king in his eyes." ”

Zhao Wangdan frowned, "When the first king was critically ill, he still didn't forget to entrust the credible people to be Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, now that Lian Po has no position in the army, how can he pose a threat to this king?" ”

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the son of Lian Po is still in Zhao Kuo's army, plus the old department, it is difficult to ensure that he will be dissatisfied in the future, and Zhao Mu is also thinking about the king." ”

"Julu Hou, you are so bold, you actually slandered the former king's old ministers in front of the king, and you are the one who has a bad heart."

A roar, everyone was suddenly startled, followed the sound and looked, only to see a stunning woman standing in front of the door of the main hall, with anger on her face, it was the former princess Zhao Ya, now married to Zhao Kuo as the general's wife, the three daughters married together on the day is really surprising, Zhao Ya represents the face of the royal family, Zhao Kuo's move is too big, how can Zhao Ya insist on this, the family is also helpless, Zhao Mu is even more hateful for this, I can't wait for Zhao Kuo to die in the party and never come back, so that the entire Zhao country can be completely controlled by himself, Although Lian Po is brave and old after all, Lin Xiangru is terminally ill although he has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and the prestige and courage of the newcomers of Zhao Guo can only be compared with Zhao Kuo, the most important thing is Zhao Ya, Zhao Kuo is dead, how can Zhao Ya escape from the palm of his hand, let the brother and sister taste the pain, and don't want to stand in front of the door at this time and look at everyone angrily.

"Sister Wang."

Zhao Wangdan stood up, he also had different emotions in his heart for this sister, brotherhood, his father said that once Zhao Guo really encountered danger, the only person who could help him at any time was Zhao Ya, and it was because of the blood flowing in the blood, which was irreplaceable by anyone.

Zhao Ya's face was angry, just hiding outside the door and hearing clearly, just drinking and having fun, I don't want this giant deer marquis to be so hateful, who doesn't know that Lian is quite loyal and brave, Lin is like loyalty, and now he has passed the age of the sixtieth year, and he will be criticized and affect his reputation, once Brother Wang listens to Zhao Mu's slander and does something foolish, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the people, as long as Zhao Ya will not let Zhao Mu's treacherous plan succeed, step in, and the table is full of wine and meat, and his heart is even more angry.

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, "Princess Ya is not your general's wife in the General's Mansion, why did she come here to speak disrespectfully to Ben Hou?" ”

"This is Ya'er's home, why can't you come?"

Zhao Ya looked at Zhao Mu angrily in her heart, she didn't want to have such an unbearable man in the world, she had heard of what Zhao Mu had done, and she had the potential to expand her own power by winning over the clan, and she had the potential to form a party for private gain, this kind of thing was common, as long as she didn't do anything out of the ordinary Zhao Ya was too lazy to care, now it is different, it is about the fate of Zhao Guo, and it is about the life of her husband and you have to take care of it.

The book implies that after Zhao Kuo entered Changping, although he had to win several battles to play a momentum, how could the Qin army's strength still be above the Zhao army, the most worrying of which is the grain and grass material, a big war down the bow and crossbow losses are countless, the soldiers' armor is also damaged, if it can not be replenished in time, it will inevitably affect the combat power, of course, the most critical thing is the grain and grass, Handan is short of food, this Zhao Kuo knows very well, the day to go to Qi to borrow grain can not be achieved, the crisis always exists, if the grain and grass can not arrive, the army will be difficult to hold for a long time, So he sent a messenger to Handan to urge grain.

A fast horse out of the camp over Changping Pass went straight to the capital Handan, Handan City defense was all taken over by Zhao Mu, the messenger hurried day and night, this day finally arrived in Handan, urged the horse to enter, inquired one or two, Zhao Kuo personally sent a letter, how to wait left and right and so on is not a reply, anxious to have to come to the door to ask, see Zhao Mu.

"Master Hou, the war is tight, when can the grain and grass be transported to the Changping camp?"

Zhao Mu looked at the messenger sent by Zhao Kuo with a gloomy face, "Don't hide it from the messenger, the food itself in Handan City is still insufficient, and there is no food available at all, so you can only wait for the autumn grain to come down and then allocate it!" ”

The messenger's face changed after hearing this, "Master Hou, there are still more than two months before the harvest of autumn grain, how can I get in time!" ”

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, "Do you want Benhou to conjure food for you?" ”

"This messenger will personally appear before the king and ask him to allocate food."

Zhao Mu sneered, "Just rely on your little messenger, how can the king be able to see it if you want to, I advise you not to break the rules, wait a few days, and when Ben Hou sees the king and comes up with a way, he will naturally give you an answer." ”

The messenger was helpless, waited for a few days and never got a reply, once the army was short of food, it was inevitable that people would take advantage of it, so wouldn't it be a disappointment to the general's trust, and once again came to the front of the Julu Marquis's mansion, two evil slaves blocked the way, "What are you doing!" ”

"The former military messenger wants to see Master Hou."

One person sneered, "Master Hou went out and didn't return." ”

The messenger exclaimed, "When will I be able to return?" ”

"This kind of thing can not be said to be good, it will take a year to get it wrong in three days and five days."

"Juluhou, such a mistake, you are a sinner of Zhao State."

The two evil slaves surrounded one left and one right, and the messenger had no choice but to retreat, take a look and stomp his feet and leave quickly, one stepped in, and the other stood with his back to him, it was Zhao Mu, "Master Hou, that person is disrespectful, let's teach him a lesson." ”

Zhao Mu shook his head, "Forget it, it's just a little person, Ben Hou didn't pay attention to it at all." ”
