In King Zhao's palace, King Zhao originally wanted to hold a banquet, but fortunately, Zhao Kuo dissuaded him, so King Zhao decided to hold a banquet another day, and he summoned the ministers of the country to discuss what happened in the near future. When the ministers walked into the palace, King Zhao was holding Zhao Kuo's hand and asking him something, everyone met them, and then sat down, Zhao Kuo still did not hold any position in the country, but his status, the courtiers' respect for him was far above the prime minister, the fake minister and others.

When Dong Chengzi came, he looked a little tired, panting, his hair was thinner, and he sat next to Zhao Kuo in a round manner, Dong Chengzi heard what happened outside the city, he had a lot of questions to ask Ma Fujun, after him, Pang Gong also came, he didn't see the slightest worry on his face, looked at everyone with a smile, and sat next to Dong Chengzi, he began to laugh at Dong Chengzi who was panting on the side.

"You're not even forty, why are you panting like this?"

Dong Chengzi looked at Pang Xuan helplessly and said, "I'm not as healthy as you. Dong Chengzi came in a carriage, the reason why he was so tired was because he walked into the main hall, from the gate of the palace to the main hall, there were many steps, not to mention Dong Chengzi, it was Yu Qing, Xu Li, these people, they didn't dare to say that they could walk into the hall without breathing, well, Pang Gong was obviously okay.

Dong Chengzi was a little suspicious that the two young and strong Zhao State strongmen might not be able to beat this seventy-nine-year-old old comrade, even if it was a sneak attack.

After that, Xu Li, Yu Qing, Zhao Hui, Lian Po, Lejian, Zheng Anping and others also walked in one after another? Sitting on either side? After a long time, when everyone was almost here, King Zhao sat on the top position? Looking at the crowd? He said solemnly: "Handan? Someone framed Xinling Jun and wanted to separate the monarch and ministers... Although the rebellion was quelled by Ma Fujun, the traitors who planned all this were not found. ”

"Ma Fujun concluded that those people have backers in the palace? Widowed? There is no way for a man to continue to live without faith, and a widow treats all his courtiers like a close relative, but there is someone who does not think about the kindness of the widow? Breaking the promise of allegiance to the widow, disregarding the general righteousness, and wanting to murder the widow? The widow was very angry. King Zhao said, his eyes swept over the ministers, and then he asked, "What did the widow do wrong?" To be treated like this?! ”

King Zhao's anger obviously frightened the ministers, and everyone looked at each other in surprise, but no one spoke.

Zhao Kuo frowned, he originally wanted to investigate this matter in private, and he didn't want this matter to cause too much impact, but he didn't expect that King Zhao still couldn't hold back, perhaps, the most intolerable thing for a person like him was betrayal.

"Bring those guys!" , King Zhao ordered, after a while, the warriors escorted more than a dozen people into the hall, these people, all of whom were the initiators of this rebellion, at this moment, they were naked, their clothes were taken away, they were tied up like slaves, and they were pushed in front of everyone without dignity. They looked like they had suffered a lot, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they had a lot of wounds on their bodies.

Zhao Kuo frowned, and just then turned around and said something to Han Fei, Han Fei walked out.

King Zhao stared at them and ordered, "Let them raise their heads!" The samurai tugged at their hair and lifted their heads so that everyone could see their faces, they looked at everything around them in humiliation, their eyes were full of resentment, but their mouths were gagged after being dislocated, which made them speechless at all, the field of medicine is developing very slowly nowadays, but when it comes to punishing their own kind, humans are always very advanced.

Looking at the humiliated faces, everyone frowned, as if they were identifying their identities, Lou Xuan stared at them seriously, there was no panic on his face, but Zhao Bao, a little restless, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, it might affect the civil strife of the war to be quelled in time, of course he was happy, but these people... But it is related to Chang'anjun.

He knew in his heart that King Zhao had tolerated Chang'anjun many times, if Chang'anjun was found out again this time, King Zhao, who had endured it repeatedly, might not be able to shelter him again, and Chang'anjun was likely to be expelled from Zhao, which made Zhao Bao very worried. Zhao Bao sighed in his heart, he is a person who pays attention to family affection.

The people he made friends with were all in the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Hao at the beginning, and it was also because of the identity of the office that he was able to become his friend, and he always felt that King Zhao should reuse these people to govern the country, what Xinling Jun, what Yu Qing, Dong Chengzi, are not as reliable as Chang'an Jun, although he is more stubborn now, but after all, he is the Zhao family, Zhao is his home, and he will change in the future.

Why, these people are still alive?

Zhao Bao looked at these people in front of him. Ma Fujun is right, these people must be Qin people's spies, Chang Anjun was deceived, he is also a victim, Zhao Bao thought again, should you just say these things and directly clear Chang Anjun's charges?

At this time, King Zhao suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "If the second and third sons can tell who sent you, the widow can forgive your crimes and not kill you." The samurai took down the strip of cloth from the flat mouth of the leader, helped him close his mouth again, looked at King Zhao coldly, and scolded: "Xinlingjun will avenge us!" King Zhao's face changed greatly, and he said: "The widow has already seen through your divisive plan!" ”

"Hehe, long live Shinling-kun!!"

Ping yelled.

Everyone in the court, their faces changed greatly, but Zhao Kuo, who was still calm, shook his head and said, "Xinlingjun is now commanding an army of more than 100,000 people, but you are sent to attack Handan with thousands of people?" Xin Lingjun sent a letter revealing your identity, you are from Qin. Ping looked at Zhao Kuo and asked in confusion: "You are also a friend of Xinling Jun, why do you want to help his enemies to murder us?" ”

"Alas... Are your parents and family in Qin? Zhao Kuo just sighed and asked rhetorically.

Ping's face changed, but he quickly reacted, and said coldly: "These stupid things in the palace oppose the change of the law, and kill us officials who have passed the assessment at will, you were the first to propose the change, but now you help them to hurt us, you...", Ping was saying, but Han Fei walked in with people, these people are Zhao Kuo's disciples, and they are holding clothes in their hands.

Zhao Kuo looked at these people and said, "Put clothes on them to cover their shame." King Zhao was about to speak, but Zhao Kuo said to him again: "I will not object to you killing them and interrogating them, but after all, they are all human beings, please don't humiliate them like this... Even if it's death, please let them die like a person...", King Zhao didn't speak anymore, Zhao Bao's face changed greatly, and he saw Zhao Kuo's thoughts.

Zhao Kuo obviously wants to induce these people to tell the mastermind behind them through the method of probation.

Han Fei and those warriors put on clothes for these people, covering their naked bodies, and watched the warriors untie the rope in a daze, Han Fei put on clothes for himself, tears fell helplessly, he didn't say anything more, his lips trembled, and he bowed in the direction of Zhao Kuo, and then closed his eyes, and then, no matter what King Zhao asked again, they didn't speak, even if Fang Cai told a lie like that, they didn't say anything.

King Zhao reluctantly asked the warriors to take them down.

Zhao Bao grinned, ha, Zhao Kuo failed, he probably thought that everyone would be succumbed to his scheme.

Only then did King Zhao command; "Dong Chengzi, please take someone to interrogate them, send someone to identify them, and see who they contact on weekdays... It's best to send someone to find out their details according to the records of their participation in the assessment...", King Zhao said, a smile gradually appeared on Lou Zhuan's face, because, such an investigation, the final evidence, will fall on Chang'anjun's body.

When he came to Zhao State, these people he brought with him had gone through layers of screening, so they could not be said, but he still had loyalty to Qin State, but he still didn't dare to be too confident, just when Zhao Kuo asked Han Fei to dress them, Lou Yan was taken aback, afraid that they would say themselves directly, fortunately... They still have to think about their families.

Zhao Bao looked a little impatient, he thought for a moment, looked at Dong Chengzi who seriously accepted the order, and listened to Dong Chengzi talking to Zhao Kuo about how to find out the people behind the scenes, and he couldn't sit still. He was very worried that Dong Chengzi would find out Chang'anjun, but if he confessed this matter directly, would King Zhao believe that Chang'anjun was used and innocent? Zhao Bao pondered for a long time, and just when Zhao Kuo was teaching Dong Chengzi, he suddenly stood up.

"Your Excellency... I know those people. ”

Zhao Bao opened his mouth, and everyone in the palace was stunned, everyone stopped talking, and looked at Zhao Bao with a strange gaze, especially King Zhao, his eyes when he looked at Zhao Bao were both surprised and angry, thinking about the fact that Zhao Bao let him lead people to attack Zhao Kuo, King Zhao trembled, and he asked, "Do you know them?" ”

"It's like this... They had come to me before, saying that there was a way to deal with Xinling-kun, but I didn't agree... I didn't know they would do something like this.. I.."

"Why do you treat widows like this?!" , Zhao Bao didn't finish speaking, but King Zhao jumped up and rushed directly to Zhao Bao, Dong Chengzi on the side jumped up violently and hurriedly blocked between the two, Zhao Bao is the elder of King Zhao after all, and there can be no scene of uncle and nephew fighting in the palace, which is very inappropriate... King Zhao stared at Zhao Bao and scolded: "You still want the widow to send people to attack them, and say that you are protecting the widow?" ”

"Don't you know what shame is?"

"Do you want to let the Zhao Kingdom perish?!"

King Zhao's questioning made Zhao Bao a little unable to raise his head, and he said calmly: "It's all my fault, but I can guarantee that I didn't order them to do this, they must be the spies of the Qin State." ”

"Hahaha~~", King Zhao laughed, he laughed a little crazy, pointed at Zhao Bao, his hand kept shaking, still didn't say what he wanted to say, Zhao Kuo stood up and said: "Shangjun, please don't be angry, Pingyang Jun must have been used by the Qin people... However, Pingyangjun didn't say these things earlier, and he was still guilty. Only then did King Zhao calm down and sit down, but he never looked at Zhao Bao again.

The atmosphere in the palace was somewhat silent.

Zheng Anping, who had just arrived, looked at all this dumbfounded, Zhao people are so good at playing? He still didn't understand, these people were spies of the Qin State, and then they were guests of Pingyang Jun, and later participated in the assessment, became Xinling Jun's disciples, and launched a rebellion? What is this, Zheng Anping suddenly regretted a little, he should have stayed in Wei honestly and didn't go anywhere. If you go back to Wei now, is it too late?

King Zhao said coldly: "Find out their identities and find out the Qin State spies hidden in Zhao... And also... Pingyang Jun will not go out in the future, the widow knows that you like to read, please read in the house, I heard that you worship Confucianism, the widow will send you some Confucian classics that tell the story of faithfulness and honesty, please don't just read, but also learn appropriately. That's already a lot of weight.

Zhao Bao didn't argue, he was already very old... The body is not as good as day by day, and it is still okay to use an old man who does not have much time to protect a young hope, after all, there are not many clans in the Zhao Kingdom.

Several of Pingyuanjun's children died early, leaving only one single seedling, still thin and sickly, and only one cloth was left in his son, who was upright and did not know how to be flexible, and the brothers of today's King Zhao, some died in the plague, some died as protons, and some died because of the same bad character as Chang'anjun, leaving only one Chang'anjun, and the terrible thing is that Zhao Dan also has only one son.

If Zhao Dan's son ascends the throne in the future, there will be no clan around him to use. Pingyuan Jun's sick son Zhao Wu seems to be leaving one step ahead of his father, and his son may be okay to fight, but if he is used to govern the country... The most important thing is that they are not young, when Zhao Dan's son grows up, they are already very old, and there is only one Chang Anjun left in the younger generation, but his character... This has always been the thing that worries Zhao Bao the most.

How did the original flourishing Zhao State Sect and the talented Zhao State Clan become like this?

"There's no hurry... There is no rush to convict Pingyang-kun. ”

Suddenly, someone spoke, and everyone looked for the voice, but they saw the old man who opened his mouth in the corner.

Tian Dan, who was always silent, stood up slowly, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Lou Xuan.

"The spies who participated in the assessment, that is, those who had no father or mother, and could not find the details, there were twenty-six people together."

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the guards who followed you to Zhao Country were also twenty-six people?"

Tian Dan said, and looked at Zhao Kuo in the distance, he said with some disdain: "Do you remember? ”

"I told you... The enemy will use the means you don't think of, and you will be taken advantage of by others because you trust others too easily... If you don't find this cancer hiding in the palace, sooner or later, you will be sold to Zhao Kingdom, maybe with a piece of jade, maybe a big county, if you don't want to become like goods, you should be more wary of the villains around you..."

"Lou slow... Lou Changke is still healthy? ”

Tian Dan asked.

ps: Although some fierce people are old, their hearts are already dead..... But he's still fierce.
