Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 176

In the palace, Zhao Wuming walked out of the hall, stood on the steps and glanced at all the officials: "The king is dead."

The officials were stunned, the queen closed her eyes slightly, and Zhao Yu's tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.Zhao Yong, who didn't know when he arrived, looked at the queen, Zhao Yu and his mother, as if asking about the authenticity of this matter.

"King...".Baiguan reacted and immediately burst into tears.They all knelt down on the ground, and then the sound of wailing sounded.

When Zhao Yu was about to bow down, the queen suddenly said: "The prince should go to the hall immediately, guard the spirit of the king, and arrange the funeral."

"The children and ministers would like to obey the mother's will."After Zhao Yu heard the queen, he immediately walked up the steps.

Seeing Zhao Yu approaching, Zhao Wuming immediately walked down the steps.

Seeing this, the queen told Zhao Wuming: "Since Wuming is the king's youngest son, why didn't he guard the spirit for the king?"

"Respect and obey the mother's will."Zhao Wuming bowed, then turned around.

Just when Zhao Yu and Zhao Wuming were about to step into the hall, the sound of dense and heavy footsteps came, and a large number of soldiers of the Imperial Army rushed over.

Surrounded by a group of confidant generals, Shen Tuxiu got closer and closer.

Seeing the change of the forbidden army, the queen scolded Shen Tuxiu and others: "Presumptuous, this place is not something that the forbidden army like you can set foot on."

As soon as this remark came out, the voice of all officials echoed.

"Forbidden soldiers trespassing on the king's bedroom, the crime should be punished."

"The king passed away, and his bones were not cold. If you wait for the forbidden army to trespass here, aren't you afraid of killing the nine clans?".

"Where are the guards in black in the inner palace? Why did the imperial guards come here?"

Shen Tuxiu watched as some officials echoed the Queen's angry reprimand, with a smile on his lips: "How can a mere [-] black-clothed guards stop [-] elite imperial troops? Now all the black-clothed guards are being punished, and the inner and outer palaces Into my hands, what can you do?"

"When my father was dying, he said that you, Shen Tuxiu, were loyal. I didn't expect that you, Shen Tuxiu, would repay your father's kindness to you like this."Zhao Yu stood on the steps, looking at Shen Tuxiu with a mad face.

Shen Tuxiu seemed to have heard the great sarcasm: "Loyalty? Then the prince knows, the king said how to deal with this general when he was dying."

"My father warned Gu to treat Commander Shentu kindly."Zhao Yu chose to appease without thinking.

Shen Tuxiu suddenly laughed wildly: "Why should the prince lie, with the temper of the king, I am afraid that I will be buried with him."

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless for a while.

"It seems that the general's guess is indeed correct. Your Majesty is really cruel."Shentu stopped laughing, and endless murderous intent filled the air: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the king never imagined that he would let his favorite son, the prince of our country, be buried with him. No, there are also kings and grandchildren, queens and princes." woman".

"I dare".Zhao Yu was furious and scolded Shen Tuxiu.

Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhao Yu, and inadvertently glanced at Zhao Wuming, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Fourth Young Master, I will never forget the great kindness of last year. I will definitely send Fourth Young Master to reunite with the King together. Ben will think of the king, and will definitely be very grateful to Ben.”

"Shen Tuxiu, are you so sure that everything is under your control now?".Zhao Wuming asked Shen Tuxiu back.

Shen Tuxiu seemed to have heard a big joke: "Don't the fourth son think so?".

"It should be noted that in this Handan city, you are not the only forbidden army."Zhao Wuming didn't change his expression, he asked Shen Tuxiu a question.

The corner of Shen Tuxiu's mouth revealed a trace of sarcasm, and then he looked at the silent Guowei among the officials: "Is the fourth son referring to the Handan garrison?".

"Or is it the soldiers of the public clan who guard the fourth son?"Shen Tuxiu didn't wait for the others to speak, and looked at Zhao Wuming again.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Wuming asked Shen Tuxiu: "What is your reliance? Forbidden Army? Naturally, since my son has entered the inner palace, how could he be unguarded?"

"Now that the four gates of the palace have been locked, I don't know how the Fourth Young Master guarded against it?".Shen Tuxiu asked Zhao Wuming, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Zhao Wuming smiled at Shen Tuxiu: "Commander Shen Tu, since this lock can be dropped, why can't it be opened?".

"On?"Shen Tuxiu felt a little doubt in his heart, and then shook his head: "How can a person unlock the lock outside?"

Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tuxiu, thinking non-stop, the most important thing now is to delay the time: "Commander Shen Tu, please don't gossip, my son asked you where Zhao Yu is and why you didn't see him."

"nature……".Shen Tuxiu reacted in an instant, and his eyes wandered over a group of people: "Fourth Young Master, are you stalling for time? I would be curious, under the current situation, how can your Fourth Young Master make a comeback."

"Since Commander Shentu is curious, he will find out later."The purpose was exposed, and Zhao Wuming stopped hiding immediately.

Shen Tuxiu immediately became alert, and his gaze shifted from Zhao Wuming to Baiguan: "Why should I wait, this general is going to act now."

"Come on".Shen Tuxiu immediately yelled at the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

All the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army immediately put their hands on the hilt of their swords and echoed loudly: "in".

The echoing voice of thousands of soldiers of the imperial army made the hearts of all officials tremble.

Shen Tuxiu looked around the officials with a murderous look, and his tone was extremely cold: "Whoever supports the second son's ascension to the throne kneels down, he will live. Otherwise, he will die."

"We are willing to support the second son on the throne."Half of the officials fell to their knees, and most of them were officials from the Second Young Master's family.

Seeing the other half of officials headed by Guo Wei standing straight, Shen Tuxiu looked directly at them: "I'm going to ask you once, do you support the fourth son?"

Xue Li and other officials were not moved, but looked at Shen Tuxiu coldly.

Shen Tuxiu was not annoyed, and went straight to Zhao Yong.Then he drew out his sword and put it on Zhao Yong's neck.

Han Yudie turned pale with shock, and hurriedly scolded: "Let go of my child."

"Shen Tuxiu, how dare you be presumptuous..."The queen was furious, but there was nothing she could do except scold.

Shen Tuxiu ignored the two, looked around at Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu who were on the steps: "Come here, I will invite the prince and the fourth son down properly."

"Follow orders".Several officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army bowed to accept their orders, and walked up the steps without any explanation.

Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu looked at each other, and adjusted their clothes at the same time: "Commander Shentu, please invite someone to invite you."

As soon as the words fell, the two slowly walked down the steps at the same time, and walked towards the direction where Zhao Yong and the queen were.

Shen Tuxiu looked at the two people who knew the current affairs so well, and his smile became stronger: "If the fourth son and the crown prince were so aware of the current affairs in the past, why would there be such an incident today?"

"Commander Shentu's words are reasonable, but Yong'er is young after all, can you let my child go first?"Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Yong, and then at Shen Tuxiu.

"put?".Shen Tuxiu seemed to have heard a big joke, looked at the people standing here, and suddenly straightened his face: "If the crown prince can bow down to ask the general, maybe the general can think about it."

A ball of anger rose in Zhao Yu's heart, but he was stronger than others and could only bow down, Zhao Wuming hurriedly stopped: "Brother, don't do it."

"No need to say much".These four words almost popped out from between Zhao Yu's teeth.

Seeing this, Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu and laughed endlessly: "What a brother and friend, I can't wait to hear how the crown prince will beg me."

Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tuxiu's insolent look, and clenched his fists tightly.

"The king is passing away, and the father is about to ascend the throne. How can he be so humble to Shen Tuxiu because of the life of the child at this time."Although Zhao Yong was young, he had been educated by the royal family all the year round, so he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and persuaded Zhao Yu.

Shen Tuxiu was furious, and approached Zhao Yong's neck with the sword in his hand, and a small bloodstain appeared: "I am always against this general at such a young age, how can this general keep you at this time."

"Commander Shentu, please calm down. This is my fault. Please spare the child's life for the sake of the child's youth."Zhao Yu looked at the tiny bloodstain on Zhao Yong's neck, and hurriedly persuaded Shen Tuxiu.

Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhao Yu, and a sneer flickered at the corner of his mouth: "Is this the crown prince begging for this general?".

"I beg the commander alone, let the child go."Although Zhao Yu was annoyed, he could only humble himself at this moment.

Shen Tuxiu laughed wildly at all the officials, looked around and stared at Guowei and others: "You see, this is the prince you support, and you can regret it in your heart at this time."

"The prince's thought that his son can achieve such a level shows his benevolence. The ministers can regard the prince as the main one, and they will have no regrets in this life."Xue Li and other officials bowed to Zhao Yu and praised in unison.

Shen Tuxiu's laughter stopped abruptly and turned into anger in an instant: "Benevolent? Let's see how benevolent Zhao Yu is when he kills this beast."

The queen and the others knew that it was useless to speak harsh words, so they could only glare at Shen Tuxiu.

The sword in his hand moved towards Zhao Yong's neck again, and Shen Tuxiu's eyes became fierce.

Zhao Wuming looked directly at Shen Tuxiu, but the personal guards did not arrive, but it was of no avail.

"The fourth son looks at this general like this, but he wants to beg this general for the life of your nephew?"Shen Tuxiu looked at the anger in Zhao Wuming's eyes, and suddenly felt a little better.Isn't that the expression in his eyes every time I sent the forbidden army to bully him in those ten years? .Over the past year, I have been thinking about it day and night, isn't it just because I want to see the wonderful scene where there is fire in this person's eyes but cannot be released? .

Hearing Shen Tuxiu's words, Zhao Wuming asked him directly: "So what can I ask for? What can I do if I don't ask?".

"If the Fourth Young Master can kneel down at this general's feet like in previous years, and respectfully intercede for your nephew. This general may replay the wonderful scene from before, and kill you with his own hands. In a good mood, Let go of this insignificant beast."Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhao Wuming expectantly, as if he wanted to smash the boulder that had been in his heart for more than a year.

The people in the field turned pale with shock, Xue Li, Zhao Yu and others subconsciously shouted: "No".

Shen Tuxiu completely ignored their expressions, and turned his eyes to Zhao Yong, but he really said to the Guowei and other officials: "Either you bow down and welcome the second son to the throne, or none of these people will stay."

Everyone didn't know how to respond and could only remain silent, Shen Tuxiu felt that the heat had come.Then he put his sword back into its sheath, and ordered to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army: "After a quarter of an hour, anyone who does not bow down will be killed."

"Follow orders".All the soldiers of the Forbidden Army took orders in unison, staring covetously at the officials who were still standing, as well as Zhao Wuming, Zhao Yu and others.
