The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if only a complete outburst could make this a depressing atmosphere.

Taihe Temple.

"King, there is an urgent military situation from the military camp ahead!" Chen Gonggong presented the bamboo slips, and his heart was worried. He learned from the soldier who had just sent the information that this was not good news.

King Zhao stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip, and his movements were careless. In his heart, as long as Zhao Hao fights, he will definitely be able to fight quickly.

However, he forgot that Zhao Hao was already past the age of six, even if his wisdom and martial arts were still there, he was an old man after all, and he couldn't compare to when he was young.

The wrinkled eyes hurriedly skimmed over the bamboo slips, and their expressions became more and more ugly.

Zhao Hao died in battle, and Pingyang was afraid that he would not defend it. There is a long story on the bamboo slips, but the final result is these few words.

Zhao Hao died in battle? Zhao Hao died in battle! What will this mean?

Binh Duong lost? Binh Duong is afraid of losing! What does this mean?

King Zhao knew it in his heart. But the more I knew, the more my heart sank. Zhao Junjun's unstable heart is still secondary, but Zhao has no generals to fight. What's more, now Pingyang City has become a lamb in the mouth of the Qin army, if Pingyang is lost, the Qin army will drive straight into Handan City!

"Quick, Prime Minister Xuan!" King Zhao tried to stabilize his mind, gritted his teeth and commanded, accompanied by the sound of pouring rain outside the hall.

When the prime minister entered the Taihe Palace, there was hardly a dry place on his body, and if he had a heart, he could still see a wet mark left on the place where his robe was swept. Not long after the early dynasty, he had just arrived home, and his butt was not yet hot, so he was summoned into the palace by King Zhao. It must be a 100,000 urgent thing, no, I can't care about the cold autumn rain outside, and I hurriedly went out before I had time to bring an umbrella, so I had such an appearance.

Before he could salute, King Zhao had already spoken, and went straight to the topic: "Prime Minister Zhao Hao died in battle, and Pingyang may be lost!" ”

The prime minister's heart jumped a few times following what King Zhao said, obviously, he didn't expect Zhao Hao to fight like this. But in the end, it was the prime minister, who was scheming, and calmed down after a while: "I wonder if the old minister can read the military report?" ”

King Zhao motioned to Gonggong Chen beside him.

The prime minister took the bamboo slip, glanced at it carefully, and said: "King, although our army has suffered heavy casualties this time, and General Zhao has died in battle, it must be that the Qin army has also suffered a lot of casualties. ”

"But right now, my Zhao Kingdom has no available generals!" Since Qin launched the battle of Qin and Zhao, the Qin army has been driving straight into the hinterland of Zhao, and while winning many cities in one fell swoop, it has also killed many fierce generals of Zhao.

"The king forgot, General Wang also has a son!" The Prime Minister had a smile in his eyes. That little child's name, although he is Wang Qian's old man, he doesn't see how doting Wang Jian is, but he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and the so-called tiger father has no dog.

"You mean, that Zhao family son who has been familiar with military books since he was a child?" King Zhao has seen that kid, and he is indeed resourceful. It's just that such a person who has never been killed on the battlefield since he was a child can be sent to fight? What's more, Zhao Hao sent his only son to the battlefield before his bones were cold, didn't this chill the hearts of all the soldiers?

"Exactly. Although Zhao Kuo is young and lacks experience, he is always the queen of General Zhao, and he must be able to quickly soothe the hearts of the army. Seeing that King Zhao hesitated, the prime minister shook his soaked sleeves and added.

King Zhao was silent, his brows furrowed. Seeing this, Gonggong Chen, who knew King Zhao very well on the side, knew that King Zhao was hesitating, as if he had just remembered something, and his voice was full of fear: "King, the old slave thinks that one person may be available." ”

"Say!"

"Zhao Ti." Gonggong Chen looked at King Zhao's expression and found that there was nothing unusual, so he continued: "It is the nephew of General Zhao Hao, and the old slave heard that he trained in the army with General Zhao Hao when he was young. ”

"Good! Where is he now? "King Zhao rises, and it seems that Zhao Ti has been identified.

"The king forgot, the year before last, he was sent by you to the north to garrison the border."

"Hmm." Yes, he remembered that there was such a thing. But right now, the northern border is peaceful, but he can be used, and he is Zhao Hao's nephew, so he must have some prestige in the army. Thinking about the powerful relationship, King Zhao ordered: "Spread the will of Gu, and order Zhao to speed up and lead his troops to Pingyang as soon as possible, and there is no need to go back to Handan City to say goodbye." ”

Gonggong Chen, who was on the side, immediately unfolded the cloth and began to draft the purpose.

"Wang, what about Zhao Kuo?" The prime minister is not giving up on the side, but it is more like he is unwilling to be suppressed by the eunuchs.

"Let this legendary prodigy experience it, and then go together to serve as a supervisor!" After a pause, King Zhao asked, "How old is this Zhao Kuo now?" ”

But it's a problem that doesn't matter.

"Twenty-three years old." The prime minister replied truthfully.

"Well, that's what can be made."

The prime minister didn't know why King Zhao suddenly asked about Zhao Kuo's age, and suddenly praised such a sentence, he was confused for a while, but he was helpless.

However, King Zhao noticed that the prime minister was wet, and knew that he was sincere, and said: "You can go back too, this toss, don't get sick, this will, I'm afraid the prime minister will be whipped up and sent to the north." ”

King Zhao took the prepared will from Gonggong Chen and handed it to the prime minister.

Zai promised to retire in a hurry, after all, the sooner this thing is, the better, isn't it?

Watching the prime minister go out of the palace gate, for a long time, King Zhao said to Chen Gong behind him: "You say, how are Zhao Kuo and Chaoyang?" ”

Gonggong Chen didn't know what King Zhao was thinking, so he had to answer cautiously: "King, the old slave thinks that Zhao Gongzi is young and promising, and Princess Chaoyang is virtuous and virtuous, which is very good." ”

"Then what do you think of letting Zhao Kuo be a colt?" Seeing Gonggong Chen's haha, King Zhao was not annoyed, and said directly. Chaoyang was fascinated by the proton of the Qin Kingdom, presumably just because he didn't see a better man. Besides, how can a mere Qin State proton be worthy of the eldest princess of Zhao Guoyan? If you can find a good husband for her at this time, you must be able to make your baby princess feel good.

"It must be a match made in heaven!" Gonggong Chen understood what King Zhao meant, so he followed King Zhao's words.

"That's good, let's do it now." King Zhao was obviously overjoyed. This has just solved a tricky matter, and now he can find a good colt for his favorite princess by the way, how can he not be happy.

"King, the old slave doesn't know what to say." Gonggong Chen hesitated, who in this Zhao Palace didn't know Princess Chaoyang's stinky temper? This is how to decide the major events of her life, and this is not a big deal.

"Say." King Zhao was a little displeased.

"First, General Zhao Hao has just passed away, as a son of man, will there be something wrong with such a happy event? Besides, Princess Chaoyang's side"

"Well, that's right." King Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Let Chaoyang come over, and Lone will talk to her." ”
