Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 180 Zhao Yu is King
In the Handan Palace, Zhao Yu walked slowly to the throne in his crown after a cumbersome etiquette.Hundreds of officials are dressed in court clothes and stand on both sides of the hall according to their rank.

"See Your Majesty".Watching Zhao Yu sit on the throne, all the officials pay respects.

Zhao Yu's arrogance suddenly increased, and he looked around the officials: "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, my lord."All the officials stood up straight and looked at Zhao Yu without squinting.

Xiangguo Taiwuwu came out from the top right and bowed to Zhao Yu: "The old minister is old, and I thought I would delay the position of Xiangguo a few months ago. However, the king is critically ill, and it has been delayed until today. Please also Grace the old minister, tell the old man and return to his hometown."

"Why did Xiangguo say this, but the widow has shortcomings?"Zhao Yu immediately asked him to stay.

Taiwuwu shook his head slowly, and looked at Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty has no shortcomings, but the old minister is old, and the state affairs are too complicated to bear the burden."

"Since Xiangguo insists on this, and the widow intends to worship Xiangguo's son, I don't know what Xiangguo's intentions will be for Dawuwu."Zhao Yu looked at the aged Taiwuwu, thought for a while and proposed to him.

Taiwuwu was overjoyed, but immediately hid it: "The dog is dull, I am afraid it is not enough to take on the big responsibility."

"The widow believes in the talent of the Great Wuwu, so the matter is settled like this. It's just that the state affairs are complicated, and the Dawuwu is in Jinyang, so I can't rush to Handan immediately. During this time, the widow invites Xiangguo to work hard for a few days."Zhao Yu couldn't help but make an immediate decision.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was so resolute, Taiwuwu immediately bowed to him: "Old minister obeys the order."

"Since the king has ascended the throne, he should immediately announce this matter to the world and pass it on to the nations."Seeing that they had finished speaking, Xue Li immediately spoke to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and immediately issued an order: "The words of the captain of the country are reasonable, and pass on the will of the widow. Announce the matter of the widow's enthronement to the world, and pass it on to all countries."

"Follow the order".All civil and military officials bowed and took orders at the same time.

With the sound of footsteps, Zhao Wuming slowly walked up to the main hall, and bowed to Zhao Yu: "All the soldiers of Anyang were killed yesterday, and my brother came here to return the tiger talisman of the forbidden army."

Seeing Zhao Wuming, Zhao Yu smiled.Huang Hao immediately walked towards Zhao Wuming, took the tiger talisman respectfully, and then walked towards Zhao Yu.

Taking the Tiger Talisman from Huang Hao's hand, and then put it on the case table, Zhao Yu asked Zhao Wuming, "Fourth Brother, would you like to take control of the Forbidden Army for the widow and take up the post of commander of the Forbidden Army?"

"Thank you, big brother, for your kindness. The imperial guards have a heavy responsibility to guard the palace, and my younger brother is really hard to do."Zhao Wuming immediately rejected the proposal.

Zhao Yu thought for a while, seeing that Zhao Wuming didn't want to lie, he asked again: "The Handan garrison and the forbidden army suffered heavy losses in this battle. I intend to expand the army. I wonder what my fourth brother thinks about this matter."

"Your Majesty must not do this."Before Zhao Wuming could speak, Dawuwu immediately dissuaded him.

Zhao Yu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, wondering why Dawuwu said something to stop him at this time: "Why?".

"Now the national treasury is already impoverished. It is really difficult to expand the army again. Please think again, Your Majesty."Dawuwu immediately explained.

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment before he remembered.Last year Wei Guo seized Handan, and this year he used a large amount of property to redeem it.In addition to the expansion of the Handan garrison and the forbidden army, the treasury has long been empty: "Now the Handan garrison and the forbidden army have suffered heavy losses. If they cannot expand, what should they do?"

"The veteran suggested that the soldiers can be reorganized first, and it will not be too late to collect taxes in the coming year before expanding the army."Dawuwu told Zhao Yu the solution, and for now, he could only delay this matter.

Zhao Yu thought for a while, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "The fourth brother has led a large army to fight against the soldiers of Anyang these days. I don't know what you think about the reorganization."

"20 soldiers were lost in this battle, and there were only [-] remaining Handan defenders and forbidden troops. If it is reorganized, my brother suggested that it is better to reduce the number of both armies to [-] and train them strictly."Without hesitation, Zhao Wuming suggested to Zhao Yu that since the army cannot be expanded, it can only be strictly trained, and there is no other way.

Zhao Yu thought carefully, looked around the officials, and finally looked at Xue Li: "Just according to the fourth brother's words, as for the whole army, I will leave it to the Guowei."

"Old officials follow orders."Xue Li received the order immediately.

Zhao Wuming looked around and saw that he didn't seem to have any business here, so he asked Zhao Yu to resign: "I'm too tired from fighting these days, and I want to go back to the house to recuperate, please allow me."

"Since the fourth brother is tired, why not go to the harem to visit the queen mother, and it will not be too late to go back."Zhao Yu didn't force her to stay, thinking of her mother, she proposed to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Farewell".

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial army looked at Zhao Wuming along the way, and they all lowered their heads not daring to look directly at them. During this period of time, they fought against Zhao Wuming to completely convince them.

At this moment, a person ran here with his head down, and Zhao Wuming was hit by him.Just when I was about to speak, an impatient voice came: "Who, I don't have eyes when I walk, it hurts me to death."

"Yong'er?"Zhao Wuming saw clearly Zhao Yong who bumped into his arms, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Zhao Yong was taken aback for a moment, looked up and smiled embarrassedly.Then he thought of something, and asked Zhao Wuming: "It turns out that uncle, uncle is not discussing state affairs in the hall, why did he come here?".

"Well, you Yong'er, uncle hasn't asked you yet, why are you here?"Zhao Wuming didn't reply, instead he asked Zhao Yong.

Just as Zhao Yong wanted to answer, Xue Zimo hurried over, and was taken aback when he saw Zhao Wuming: "Why is uncle here?"

"While eldest brother ascended the throne, and brother Xue was discussing state affairs in the hall, you played truant again, didn't you?"Zhao Wuming looked at the expressions of the two and immediately reacted.

After all, Zhao Yong had a thicker skin than Xue Zimo, and smiled at Zhao Wuming as if to flatter him: "Uncle, we just want to go outside the city to have a look."

"What to see outside the city?".Zhao Wuming showed an angry look very cooperatively.

Xue Zimo looked at Zhao Yong and then at Zhao Wuming, and replied first: "I heard that yesterday, all 20 Anyang soldiers were killed, and Wang Sun and I wanted to go outside to have a look."

"It's too late, the battlefield has been cleared."Zhao Wuming deliberately showed regret.

Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo immediately lost their faces, with regret on their faces: "Hey, it would be great if I played truant yesterday."

"Stop talking nonsense, you are going back to school now, uncle, I can still pretend I didn't see it. Otherwise... ".Zhao Wuming gave them a threatening look.

With a drooping face, Zhao Yong replied weakly: "Well, anyway, we can't see it when we go outside."

"Stop pretending to be pitiful here, and go back to school."Seeing Zhao Yong's exaggerated appearance, Zhao Wuming couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing Zhao Wuming's firm tone, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo reluctantly walked towards the school.

Zhao Wuming watched the two walk away, smiled, and then continued to walk forward.

……

The wine bottle is full of fine wine, and the wine bottle is slightly tilted, and the fine wine then spills into the room.The maids and eunuchs in the palace looked at each other, wanting to wipe the ground clean but did not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Wuming came from a distance, and the maids and officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief.They bowed one after another, but Dan didn't dare to make a sound.

"Mother Queen".Zhao Wuming bowed to the queen mother, and the maid and eunuch walked out knowingly.

The queen mother came back to her senses, looked at Zhao Wuming and the drinks on the ground, and then squeezed out a smile: "The queen of the past, the queen mother of today. The past, my palace, today mourns the family. Should I laugh or cry."

"Is the queen mother missing the former king?"Zhao Wuming paused for a moment when he said the word Xianwang.

The queen mother showed a hint of sarcasm: "The former king? The Ai family should miss the former king, but why doesn't the Ai family miss him?".

"Why did the empress lose her mind so much?"Zhao Wuming was puzzled, and couldn't help but look at the queen mother, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

The Empress Dowager did not answer, but instead asked Zhao Wuming: "I heard that Xun'er is missing, I wonder if you know his whereabouts."

"I don't know".Zhao Wuming didn't understand why the Queen Mother would ask Zhao Yu's whereabouts.

The queen mother looked at the wine bottle in her hand, and then looked forward: "He must be in the capital of South Korea at this time, his mother's home country."

"Korea? Yang Zhai".Zhao Wuming was even more puzzled, not knowing why the Queen Mother was so sure.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Wuming and explained to him in detail, a past event slowly unfolded: "Xiao'er's mother is Mrs. Han, and Fan'er's mother is Mrs. Wei. In the past, in this palace, both Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wei could rely on The power of the mother country. Although the Ai family is the daughter of the emperor of Zhou, the Zhou family has been in decline for a long time. Not only can they not borrow her power, but they are hated by others. At that time, the Wei country dominated the world, and Mrs. Wei was extremely powerful. Although the king made the Ai family the queen , but even the fetus in the womb could not be kept. If your mother had not entered the palace, Yu'er would have become a puddle of blood. It is because of this that your mother and Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han have resolved their grudges. Aijia has been thinking these days, why did Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han, who were so powerful back then, end up so miserable, and why your mother was given to death by the king. It was not until Aijia figured it out. Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han Mrs. Han, success is also the mother country, and failure is also the mother country. Similarly, your mother, success is also the Lord of Anyang, and failure is not the Lord of Anyang."

"I heard from my uncle Xingping Jun and others that my uncle Anyang Jun saved me when the previous king killed my mother. I don't know the situation at that time, so I ask my mother to let me know how."Listening to these past events, Zhao Wuming asked the Queen Mother about the long-buried doubts in his heart.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Wuming and fell into the past: "When your mother was about to give birth, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han, under the instigation of the late king, bought the maids in the palace. When you were born, they concluded that you were a baby boy, and they falsely accused the late king. , said that Mrs. Xuan secretly bought the black guard in the palace, as long as she gave birth to a boy. Then let the black guard kill the previous king, and with the support of Anyang Jun, put his child on the throne."

"The guard in black?"Zhao Wuming repeated a few words in a low voice.

The queen mother explained to Zhao Wuming: "The eunuch order is in charge of the black-clothed guards. Generally speaking, the eunuch order belongs to the queen, but at that time the eunuch order was your mother's confidant. So the previous king killed your mother without hesitation. And eunuch orders. Afterwards, the Ai family found out that all of these were written by the former king."

"What happened to Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han in the end?".Zhao Wuming questioned the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother showed a trace of ridicule: "So what can I do? King Wu of Wei died, and the previous king sent troops to persuade Mr. Anyang. He killed Mrs. Wei and sent Mrs. Han back to South Korea. No matter how hard you struggle, it is futile. Who told this to be a woman?" life".

When Zhao Wuming heard this, he seemed to understand.The root of the hatred between myself and Zhao Yu and Zhao Fan is here.No wonder Zhao Yu can restrain his hatred towards him, but Zhao Fan hates him to the bone.
