Gaoming Tower is the highest pavilion in the Zhao Palace, and when you climb here, you can overlook the entire Handan City. There was a pale-haired old woman, with some wrinkled hands on the golden cane of Zimulou, dressed in a noble dress, just standing on top of the Gaoming Tower and looking down on the city. Outside the city, there was a lot of black pressure, and it was hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who were cleaned up. The once bustling streets are now empty, adding to the sadness. Three days ago, the people in the city were able to walk and flee, and those who remained in the city were only some bloody people, but how many of them were there?

"Queen Mother, in such a situation, why do you still insist so much and hold Handan City?" Behind the old woman was a middle-aged man, looking at the border of Handan City, and asked.

"Prime Minister, the old woman is old and useless!" The Queen Mother squinted, but sighed, then turned around and asked: "Isn't the prime minister the same, supporting the mourning family?" You and I know very well, if there is no prime minister by his side, how can this court be suppressed? Look at the people of this city! ”

"The Queen Mother is wise and decisive, and the ministers dare not disobey your old man's orders!" The prime minister said it lightly, but he was extremely respectful.

"Okay, it's not too late to leave such compliments for the Qin State to retreat!" The Queen Mother smiled, but in the next moment, her expression became stern, "You and I both know Handan City, regardless of the foundation of our ancestors here; It is said that the capital of a country is the foundation of the country. The root will be extinguished, and what will be the branches and leaves? Even if you abandon this Handan city, where can you flee to? Escape somewhere, and what? Perhaps more cities will be abandoned in the future. ”

"But right now, the Qin general Wang Jian has been under the city for two days, but he has not seen the slightest attack on the city. Don't you want to exhaust the ambition of a good boy in my Zhao country! The Prime Minister's expression was mixed, with worry and resentment, but not the slightest fear.

"Even the mourning family has to praise a few words, Wang Jian is indeed talented, brave and strategic. Such a surprisingly successful way of using troops has only been less than two months, not to mention the capture of Pingyang, and now it has hit the capital of my Zhao Kingdom! The Queen Mother sighed that the back waves pushed the front waves, but she didn't forget that the other party was a major general of the enemy country, and sneered and said, "However, before the end, who knows if the Qin army can take my Handan City!" ”

"With the Queen Mother in charge, my Zhao soldiers must be brave and take the lead to defend their homeland!" The prime minister is a fox, and immediately stated that even if the city of Handan is full of battles, it is only 8,000 soldiers.

"That's it, that's fine." The vicissitudes of life on his face were full of wrinkles, and Rao was approaching the city at this moment, but his face still did not change. Because, she believed that her grandson could invite Wei to send troops, and she was also waiting for her excellent grandson to bring back the best news.

Although the prime minister was shouting in his heart, the probability of the fall of Zhao in this war was very high, but the trust and respect for the queen mother made him forcibly suppress the doubts in his heart and calm himself.

Just when the two senior leaders of the Zhao State were thinking about something, with the sound of stepping on the wooden ladder, a sharp voice came eagerly: "Oh no, Queen Mother, it's not good!" ”

The two of them looked towards the staircase, and they saw a little father-in-law, sweating profusely and with an anxious look on his face.

"What's going on, what kind of system!" In such an extraordinary period, this little father-in-law said something bad, which is really unlucky. The prime minister thought to himself, and reprimanded him.

"The King... The king, he ...... "The little father-in-law was a little out of breath all the way up the tall building, but now he was frightened by the prime minister of the dynasty, and he spoke even more."

"What's wrong with the king? Say it! "As soon as she heard King Zhao, the Queen Mother was anxious first.

"The king is gone!" As he spoke, the little father-in-law knelt down with a sad face.

"Y-What did you say?" The Queen Mother was anxious and couldn't believe the news that King Zhao had died. She remembered that when she went to see him yesterday, the imperial doctor also said that as long as she took care of him, she would wake up soon.

Unable to accept such a fact, the Queen Mother stumbled and fell straight back. Fortunately, the prime minister was quick to see and help the queen mother, so he survived.

"The Queen Mother mourns, and now the Queen Mother needs to preside over the overall situation, and please take care of the Queen Mother!" The prime minister was reasonable, saw the situation clearly in an instant, and comforted. The death of King Zhao is bound to shake the morale of the army, so this news must be ......

The Queen Mother closed her eyes vigorously, but she opened her mouth but she had already made up her mind, "Xiao Quanzi, quickly lead the troops to block the Taihe Palace, only enter and not exit, if a mosquito flies out, the mourning family will ask you." ”

Xiao Quanzi was the personal eunuch of the Queen Mother, who was standing in the distance, and at this time he listened to the order, and immediately went downstairs and hurried away.

"What's your name?" The Queen Mother looked at the little father-in-law who came to report the news, and smiled kindly. But only the prime minister on the side knew that this poor little father-in-law was destined to become a victim of the interests of the royal family. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh quietly.

"The minion's name is Xiaoquan, and he has been serving in the Taihe Palace." The little father-in-law didn't know what the Queen Mother was going to do, so he glanced up and saw the Queen Mother's kind eyes, and calmed down a little.

"How did the king go? What are the words left? The Queen Mother asked, still kind-eyed.

"The slave didn't know that at that time, there was only Princess Chaoyang in the inner hall taking care of the king, and then there was a faint sound of the dispute between the king and the eldest princess in the hall, as if the king had woken up. But then something fell on the ground, and the minions felt that something was wrong, and when they went in to look, they found that the king and the king had ......" Xiaoquan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, which was very sensational.

The Queen Mother's hands began to tremble, and even the crutches in her hands trembled. The Queen Mother's face became distorted, as if she wanted to control her feelings, and she stomped on the ground with her cane fiercely, but she couldn't say anything anymore.

It was made by the rising sun! Lying on the sickbed is her own father, the king! How could she!? What kind of ghost is it that can make a princess who is favored by her father kill her father like this!

Suddenly, the Queen Mother's mind flashed with the appearance of a person, Qin Guo Proton! Earlier, Chaoyang was clamoring to marry this Qin Guozi called a stranger, and he was grounded. Now, presumably, it must have been a dispute with her father again, so that King Zhao died so alive! She was so old and confused that she forgot about this person! That's right, it was this person who fascinated his granddaughter and killed his son! Qin Guo proton, she actually forgot that there is such a number one person in the Zhao Palace!

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, but her heart was ruthless. Since the Qin army dared to set up camp outside the city, and was still so arrogant as if it was about to demonstrate, then she Zhao Guo would have a good time first. She wants the Qin army to see how humiliated the descendants of the Qin royal family are!

"Prime Minister, the mourning family wants them to see what a real demonstration is!" The laughter was cold, and the Queen Mother at this time was obviously angry and said to the extreme, "Arrest all the people in the Xiquan Palace, and the mourning family will be tortured one by one!" And that thing that doesn't make it! ”

It's not so much torture as torture. As for the unsuccessful thing, of course, it refers to the eldest princess Chaoyang, who is brutal and willful on weekdays. The prime minister was secretly worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, so he answered and wanted to retreat. Just stepped back, and his compassionate gaze swept over the little father-in-law called Xiaoquan, obviously, he knew that too many people would not live long, especially such worthless people.
