Chapter 107 The Crown Prince Falling From the Sky
Handan, Zhao Palace.

The crown prince was killed, and the state of Zhao was shocked.

All of a sudden, everyone panicked, and everyone felt in danger.

This is the capital of Zhao State, and it can't even protect the prince's safety, so where is there a safe place?

Inside the palace of King Zhao Xiaocheng.

"Cough cough. Cough cough cough."

King Zhao Xiaocheng was lying on the bed. He had just vomited a large mouthful of blood, which was shocking. He was coughing violently at the moment.

It seems to be coughing up the lungs!
King Zhao Xiaocheng panted heavily suddenly, his face was still pale, his whole body seemed to have lost his soul, and he had no spirit at all.

He was in a coma for nearly two hours before waking up.

Around it, there are countless maids serving King Zhao Xiaocheng all the time with hot water and towels in their hands.

All the imperial physicians in the royal court knelt on the ground, waiting for orders.

The scene was like a pool of stagnant water, with no vitality at all.

"Lian Po... Lian Po hasn't come back yet?"

Mao Sui knelt on the ground, cupped his hands, and said:
"Report to Your Majesty, the general is waiting outside the door, do you want to call the general in for an audience immediately?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng raised his eyes slowly, nodded, and said:

"Xuan... Lian Po!"

"Let the general have an audience with the king!"

The little eunuch hurried down to deliver orders.

After a while, Lian Po stepped in.

It's just that Lian Po was also in a bad mood, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried, and when he came in, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"How about...?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng asked weakly.

Lian Po stood up and cupped his hands, his back straightened:
"My Majesty, the last general is incompetent. He failed to find the murderer in Mang Mountain, but only found these things."

King Zhao Xiaocheng immediately set his sights on those 'evidence'!
"Yan country weapon?!"

Horrified!

King Zhao Xiaocheng didn't believe it even if he was beaten to death, all of this would be done by Yan State.

Although the current comprehensive national strength of Zhao State is far inferior to that of Zhao Wuling King, it is still the first among the six Shandong Kingdoms.

Yan Guo provokes Zhao Guo, nothing less than disaster!

Does the Yan people want to live?
"Huchi...huchi..."

King Zhao Xiaocheng's breathing was clearly audible.

"Except for the general and Mao Sui, everyone else should go out, and they are not allowed to enter the palace without my king's order."

"Your Majesty, your illness..."

"The widow is fine, get out immediately!"

"Well..."

The people did not dare to disobey the king's order, they all retreated outside the hall to wait, and in the bedroom, only the most trusted civil servant and general of King Zhao Xiaocheng was the leader.

"Okay, now there are only three of us, the monarch and his ministers. Regarding the assassination of the crown prince, I also want to hear the opinions of the two of you."

King Zhao Xiaocheng was distraught!

Why...why is it the one who died?

It's okay for Big Zhao to die, even if it takes the life of me, the king of Zhao, it's okay, but Zhao Yi can't have an accident.

Zhao Yi is the future of Zhao country!

Lian Po thought for a moment, his thoughts were very clear, and he spoke first:
"Your Majesty, the general believes that the assassination of the prince this time was premeditated. The murderer made a detailed plan, when to assassinate, how to assassinate, and how to escape after the assassination. The level of precision is flawless!"

To be rewarded by Lian Po is enough to prove that these people are by no means ordinary people.

"The people of Yan would have such courage?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng questioned.

Mao Sui took over the conversation and said softly:
"My lord, the murderer may not be the Yan people. What we see is what the murderer wants us to see."

A cloud of fog began to shroud everyone's hearts.

"what for!?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng asked.

Mao Sui said softly:

"Your Majesty thinks carefully, if it was really done by the Yan people, they would have left such obvious evidence. Therefore, I boldly speculate that this is very likely to be done deliberately by the murderer, with the purpose of making Your Majesty angry at Zhao Guo!"

As soon as Mao Sui spoke, there was a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the fog.

It does!

Not all Yan people are stupid people, they probably wouldn't do such a fire-burning move.

"Mao Qing, someone deliberately provoked a dispute between my Great Zhao and the Yan Kingdom?"

Mao Sui nodded:

"This possibility is not ruled out, but it is unknown which country did the work of these other countries!"

"Your opinion, which country is most suspected?"

Without even thinking about it, Mao Sui blurted out:

"Qin State, Your Majesty, after King Huiwen went east, Qin State has always wanted to restore Mu Gong's hegemony, and I, Zhao State, have always been Qin State's most powerful opponent. There is only one army—Qin Guoyin Cavalry that left any clues!"

"Hidden Cavalry!? But this army only exists in legends, and no one has seen it with their own eyes!"

Mao Sui shook his head:

"The reason why the legend is a legend is not entirely because of rumors, it may also be a fact."

King Zhao Xiaocheng stopped talking.

He has always been skeptical about the name of Hidden Cavalry. It is said that it is an army secretly cultivated by Qin Prince Fu Qinchuan.

But whether it is or not, I don't know yet!
King Zhao Xiaocheng sighed, Zhao Yi had already lost his life, and indulging in pain would make him go to extremes.

I want to re-examine this matter, the more I think about it, there is a buzzing sound in my mind, it's all white!

"Yi'er has passed away, and now the government and the public are in turmoil, and the nations are eyeing each other. How should I, Da Zhao, deal with it?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng's brain hurts like a needle prick!
Mao Sui is better at such things as seeking the country.

Since he recommended himself in Pingyuan Jun's mansion, Mao Sui's fame has grown, and he is gradually becoming the humerus of Da Zhao.

"Your Majesty, the death of the crown prince has had a great impact on the government and the public. Now the people are mourning and the officials are shocked. It is a dangerous situation."

"I think there are three top priorities!"

"First, son Zhao Yan and the prince have always been at odds, and the people are guessing that the prince's death is inseparable from son Yan, but now, the next prince of Zhao country can only be Zhao Yan, regardless of whether he has If there is no participation, the king must trust him, and he should immediately make son Yan the crown prince, so as to eliminate the doubts of the people."

"Secondly, to stabilize the court situation, send envoys to Qin and Yan, but they are not calling for war, but signing a peace treaty with the two countries and withdrawing the harassing border troops, lest the two countries take the opportunity to attack."

"Thirdly, General Lian Po needs to prepare his army secretly for war, so as to avoid the invasion by people with ulterior motives."

These three steps, word by word.

King Zhao Xiaocheng nodded in agreement, Zhao Yan is now his only son, and he really made him a prince.

"That's the only way. The matter of military training is handed over to the general. As for the matter of diplomatic relations, it is fully entrusted to Mao Qing. You are external, and the widow is internal. Within three months, you must stabilize the mood of the people of the country, so that I will be the leader of Zhao. Safe and sound."

"Here!"

Since King Zhao Xiaocheng had to rest, the two of them didn't want to disturb them, but just as they were about to walk out of the room, King Zhao Xiaocheng's sobs came again:
"Don't bury him yet, my widow...you have to take a look at him personally..."

Lian Po was moved...
