Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 174 King Wu is really my Qilin son

"Can you say that again!"

When he spoke, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu almost shouted, and his whole face turned red with excitement.

The imperial guards realized that the news they brought might be too unbelievable, making it difficult for Emperor Jian'an and many ministers in the hall to believe it.

After all, such a case has never happened in Wei State in the past.

Even he who was at the scene was extremely surprised when he saw this result.

He felt the impact of it all.

The imperial guard took a deep breath, regained his composure and said: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Jinyin, His Highness King Wu used 18 Wei soldiers to defeat Zhao's [-] army and killed more than [-] enemies."

"hiss……"

In the court hall, Emperor Jian'an and many ministers took a deep breath when they heard the news.

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu said with a serious expression: "Do you know that if you cheat the emperor, I can kill all nine of your tribes?"

The imperial guard knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have never deceived you. I saw this with my own eyes, and there is no way it can be false. If I have any false report, I am willing to be quartered on five horses."

Wei Wuzu really defeated the 18 Zhao army with [-] soldiers! ! !

Emperor Jian'an looked stunned, and he could hear the needle drop in Qianqing Palace.

He has long known about the existence of Wei Wuzu.

That was the army that Zhao Hongming secretly ordered Wu Qi to train.

Wu Qi was only a commoner in the Wei Kingdom. When he was a guard in Daliang, he didn't have many amazing performances. He was just a martial artist with some ability.

In his eyes, this was a sign that no one around King Wu Zhao Hongming was available, so he had no expectations at all for this so-called soldier of Wei Wu.

But how could such a large army with such a small number of people withstand Zhao's army? ! !
Feng Dabao on the side was the first to break the calm in the Palace of Qianqing and knelt down: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty for this great victory!"

His unique sharp voice echoed in the hall, instantly pulling other ministers back from their thoughts, and they said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, on this great victory!"

At this point, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. Long Yan was delighted: "Hahahaha... Okay, okay. King Wu is really my Qilin'er! He gave me such a big surprise."

Nowadays, since the death of the crown prince, Wei's position has been high and uncertain.

The princes and princes below are all trying their best to compete for this position.

After Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu said these words, many ministers in the Taiqian Qing Palace were all thinking about it.

In their impression, King Wu Zhao Hongming has always been indifferent and has no sense of existence.

Judging from recent signs, His Majesty may be interested in passing the throne to King Wu.

Many people were already a little annoyed, feeling that they did not seize the opportunity and take the initiative to approach King Wu.

"I remember that the daughter of Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was relatively close to King Wu?" Some ministers whispered.

"King Wu wanted to practice martial arts for a while. His Majesty's daughter, Chen Shangshu, was indeed summoned to the palace. She spent time with King Wu and taught her carefully."

While speaking, a minister quietly turned his attention to Chen Mou.

Chen Mou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was aware of the meaningful sights around him, and remained expressionless.

Feng Dabao congratulated from the side and said: "His Majesty King Wu's results today are all the result of His Majesty's careful teachings!"

These words played right into Emperor Jian'an's wishes.

If he hadn't allowed Zhao Hongming to enter the Cangwu Building and assigned Wu Qi to Zhao Hongming, King Wu would definitely not have achieved such success, or it would have been such smooth sailing.

Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu sat back on the dragon chair and said happily: "As a reward, everyone here today can receive a wish stone and ten blood furnace pills."

"Thank you Your Majesty for the gift."

Yu Hezheng, Minister of the Ministry of War and Shaobao, saw that Zhao Xu was in a good mood and stepped forward and said: "Since His Highness King Wu has repulsed the Zhao army, it is difficult to make a big deal out of the Hexi City occupied by the Zhao army. Ying County can undoubtedly be retained. . May I ask Your Majesty, are you going to send a large army to Ying County now?"

Emperor Jian'an calmed down the expression on his face and said: "Zhao's undeclared war this time is actually a rebellious move. Since they are unkind, don't blame me, Wei, for being unjust."

"According to my decree, we will give General Cen another hundred thousand troops. We must make Zhao Guo pay a heavy price."

The number of an army of [-] is acceptable, at a relatively low level, and it is still affordable based on Wei's national strength.

"The minister obeys the order."

After learning that Zhao Hongming had defeated Zhao Jun, the mentality of the ministers in the Qianqing Palace changed a lot and they became more calm in doing things.

There was no refutation of Emperor Jian'an's decision to increase his troops.

In addition to using troops against Zhao, there is actually another very important thing.

Lu Zonghui, the general of the Eastern Army, was responsible for the defense of the Eastern Route. This time, the Zhao army came fiercely and started an undeclared war.

Although the Ying County that Zhao Jun attacked was not within his defense range, this did not mean that he could stand by and watch, or even seek personal gain.

Because Yingjun is adjacent to its defense area, if Yingjun falls, the area under the jurisdiction of his Eastern Army will also be threatened by Zhao's army.

This is the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.

To put it bluntly, Lu Zonghui is no longer usable and has objections.

Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu knew this very well. He sat on the throne with blazing eyes and said in a sharp tone: "This time, General Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army seriously neglected his duty. After asking General Cen to finish solving the affairs of Zhao State, he took King Wu with him to conquer the Eastern Army." I will rectify those people with evil thoughts in the army, and then let General Cen directly take up his post to lead the Eastern Army."

In fact, Emperor Jian'an also knew that the Eastern Army had been controlled by the Huo family for a long time, and the entire army had a close relationship with the Huo family.

The Huo family has been making some secret moves.

Many ministers didn't know much about the Huo family. Considering that the ancestor of the Huo family was still alive, they were hooked up with the Zhengyi family.

The royal family lacked strength, so he withheld all these discounts.

He had seized some opportunities this time, and he naturally had to make good use of them. He could not miss the rare opportunity presented to him by Qilin'er.

Even if the imperial power falls, as long as Zhao Mixu is alive, he will have to fight with these people.

"My minister waits to obey the order."

After Emperor Jian'an issued several edicts in succession, his tense spirit relaxed a little. He ordered: "Feng Daban, I have been busy all day and I am a little tired. Come with me for a walk in the back garden."

"The slave obeys."

Many ministers in the hall knelt down and said in unison: "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"

After walking out of Qianqing Palace, the number of people around gradually decreased.

As Emperor Jian'an walked, he said to Feng Dabao: "After thinking about what happened today, I got a little excited and said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said. King Wu is just starting to gain momentum. Please let the Imperial City Secretary control your side." Let’s take a look at the public opinion in the court. In this battle between Jin and Yin, it was Wei Wuzu and Wu Qi who took the greatest credit. Do you understand what I mean?”

Feng Dabao had been with Emperor Jian'an for decades. Although he couldn't be said to be a roundworm in his belly, he was still inseparable.

He heard that Zhao Meixu did not want King Wu Zhao Hongming to participate in the prince's battle prematurely for the time being. At the same time, he did not want him to attract too much attention and gave him enough time to grow.

To a certain extent, the current King Wu may have been assigned the position by Emperor Jian'an.But the time has not come yet, and we have to wait.

At least we have to wait until Zhao Hongming has full wings.

Since ancient times, the Wei Kingdom has had countless accidents with its princes, and there was no room for Emperor Jian'an not to be careful.

Feng Dabao lowered his head and replied, "I know."

"Yes." Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu nodded and said no more.

Just after the court dispersed, and towards evening, the news spread like wildfire in Daliang City that Wu Qi led [-] Wei soldiers to defeat the Zhao army.

After many people learned the news, their first impression was that it was impossible, thinking that someone had lied about military information.

But as more and more information came out and was confirmed to be true, everyone was shocked.

The name of Wei Wuzu was completely spread in Daliang.

East Fourth Institute.

"I didn't expect that Lao Wu would be so lucky. After leaving Daliang, he not only had martial arts warriors in the Martial Arts Realm to help him, but he also had such a general in the Forbidden Army and trained such a strong army."

The fourth prince Zhao Hongli was in his residence with a straight face and eyes full of jealousy.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. After all, Wu King Zhao Hongming is far away from Daliang City. Even if he has a strong army and Wudan realm warriors to help him, he cannot reach Daliang Palace.

What really caught his attention was what Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu said.

"Eunuch Li, let me ask you this. In the Qianqing Palace today, did my father really say that Lao Wu was his Qilin son?" the fourth prince Zhao Hongli asked his personal eunuch.

This person was specially selected by his mother, Concubine Hua. He was very popular in the palace of Wei and was well-informed, which was of great benefit to him.

This eunuch was tall and tall, his hands could hang down past his knees, and the knuckles on his hands were larger than those of ordinary people. He was obviously a skilled man.

Eunuch Li Shang lowered his head and said seriously in a high-pitched voice: "It's absolutely true. I also found many people to check it separately. Your Majesty did say such a thing."

The eyes of the fourth prince Zhao Hongli flashed and he said angrily: "Father, you are really partial. They used to say that I am his Qilin son, but now they say that I am the fifth child. This battle is Wu Qi's credit, what does it have to do with him?"

Eunuch Li Shangchang did not dare to say more and repeatedly echoed: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. What does the Wei soldiers' defeat of the Zhao army have to do with the fifth prince? I want to tell you, if anyone changes seats with him, maybe he can become your Majesty." Qilin'er. King Wu is so virtuous and capable, he just missed something."

After being comforted by eunuch Li Shangxiang, the fourth prince Zhao Hongli felt obviously much better.

"You are the only one who can speak." The fourth prince Zhao Hongli said: "I think I am not bad at it, but my mouth is a bit clumsy. It would be great if I could please my father like you. I don't know when. Only my father would ennoble me as the crown prince, always using small tricks, and I am tired of it."

Regarding the matter of establishing the crown prince, Li Shang, as an eunuch, considered himself of low status and did not dare to say anything.

He stood beside the fourth prince Zhao Hongli, looking at the ground and remaining silent.

The seventh prince Zhao Hongsheng, who was also his rival for the crown prince, also felt jealous after hearing about the achievements of Wei Wuzu in Ying County, similar to Zhao Hongli's behavior.

The two are on par.

But if some people are sad, then naturally some people are happy.

The eighth prince Zhao Hongguang, who had a close personal relationship with Zhao Hongming, was sincerely happy after learning that [-] Wei soldiers in Ying County had defeated the Zhao army.

"Fifth brother deserves to be called fifth brother. I knew he was unusual. Hehe..." Zhao Hongguang took out a map of Wei State, spread it out on the table, and scanned the map with his eyes.

The fingers of his right hand were placed on the location of Yingjun Luling, and he began to move around with it as the center.

"In one year, I will establish a palace and become a king. By then, I will be qualified to go out and claim a vassal. It was agreed at that time that if I want to 'attack the second prince', I have to choose a fiefdom closer to him."

"Otherwise, water from afar cannot quench my thirst nearby, and it will not be very beneficial to me."

The expression of the eighth prince Zhao Hongguang gradually became serious, and he had already prepared for his vassalage in a year.

……

Zhao Hongming, who was hundreds of miles away, was concentrating on practicing. Suddenly, his nose felt itchy and he couldn't help but sneeze.

He rubbed his nose and concentrated on practicing again.

Zhao Hongming didn't know anything about what happened in the Daliang Palace.

The reason why he sent people to report to Emperor Jian'an that Wei soldiers had defeated the Zhao army was because he planned to attack Zhao.

At present, the Zhao army has been driven out of Wei territory, but it is still staying on the border, ready to counterattack at any time.

This was the sword hanging over his head, making him restless.

To make Yingjun completely safe, Li Mu's Zhao army must be completely disabled.

Offense is the best defense.

However, Zhao State has a vast territory, and there are many aristocratic families and martial arts forces in Hedong County.

If you want to replicate the Battle of Jinyin with less and win more, the strength of the Wei soldiers is far from enough.

Wu Qi told him that Wei Wuzu was able to achieve such results this time, firstly because of the convenient location, and secondly because the opponent was not vigilant enough.

Once the opponent comes to his senses, if he really wants to attack Zhao, he must have at least 10,000+ troops.

Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army made it clear that he was not on the same page as him.

It would be good if there are no stumbling blocks.

As for being able to assist him in attacking Zhao, don't even think about it.

Now he can only hold on to one or two.

Therefore, if he wants to truly achieve his goal, he must borrow the means and power of Emperor Jian'an to solve his worries and increase his military strength at the same time.

And if he wanted to do this, Emperor Jian'an would have to win a big victory because of his vengeful temper.

That's why Zhao Hongming sent people non-stop to report the achievements of Wei Wu's soldiers.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready and we can set off."

Gao Yanshi's cry suddenly came from outside the door, and Zhao Hongming responded lightly, ending today's practice.

He promised Wu Qi that he would reward Wei soldiers for their merits today.

This is also an important matter and cannot be delayed.

Far outside Hexi City, about forty miles to the east, six people re-entered Wei's territory from a wooden bridge.

The leading man looks ordinary and wears civilian clothes just like ordinary people.

The five people behind him are also dressed in the same way.

"Master Ji, where are we going now?"

"Go to Luling."
