Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Suspicion of the Monarch and the Minister

After Zhao Cheng returned home early, he was worried, and the cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked, he helped Ziying kill Zhao Gao, and the reward promised by Ziying has not been fulfilled.

Ziying pretended to be mediocre in the past, which shows the depth of his thoughts.

Tomorrow is Wang Li's funeral, could it be that the child will use his blood to sacrifice Zhongliang at that time?

Even if Ziying didn't have the intention to kill, as long as the people around him mentioned two sentences, there was no guarantee that Ziying would not kill him in the future.

That night, Ziying held a sword, and Zhao Cheng held a halberd and fought side by side, and today they are suspicious of each other.

"It turns out that the relationship between the monarch and the minister is so fragile." Zhao Cheng sat on the couch and smiled bitterly.

After receiving Ziying's summons, Zhao Wei thought about sneaking a dagger to meet him, but thought that Ziying did not connect with Zhao Gao's family, so he did not take action.

Zhao Cheng did not wear mourning clothes, but wore a red coarse coat tightly on his body, and deliberately tied his sleeves to imply that Ziying did not bring weapons.

Ziying was still waiting for Zhao Cheng in the main hall, he didn't want the meeting between the two to be so formal, Ziying was captured by Zhao Gao in the harem, and he was afraid that Zhao Cheng would mistakenly think that he was going to kill him on casual occasions, so he could only choose here.

Zhao Cheng walked into the hall and looked at Ziying.

"Minister, Zhao Cheng, a member of the Beigong guard, knocked on the king." Zhao Cheng knelt down to avoid Ziying's gaze.

"Aiqing, get up." Ziying said lightly, looking at Zhao Cheng cautiously.

Ziying was a little afraid, Zhao Cheng was just a small guard officer, if he was the commander of the guard and became one of the nine Qings, he would not be resentful of Zhao Gao, and Ziying would not be able to buy Zhao Cheng that night.

The division of the guards is clear, Zhao Cheng is the official of the Beigong guards, the closest to the Xianyang Palace, if something happens, he can arrive before the commander of the guards, this is Zhao Gao's small abacus, but unfortunately he ignores the size of the official position.

Zhao Cheng got up slowly, waiting for Ziying's order.

Ziying wanted to reward Zhao Cheng directly for his official position, and when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Cheng's red clothes, he didn't know what to do for a while.

The Zhou Dynasty is still red, the Jin State is the relative of Zhou, and the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are divided into Jin, so the Zhao State is also still red!

"Zhao Aiqing doesn't wear mourning clothes, what does it mean to wear red?" Ziying asked.

"My brother is in trouble, and he is innocent, and the minister doesn't need to wear white clothes for his brother, red is the color that the minister's hometown likes to wear." Zhao Cheng confessed.

Ziying is most afraid of Zhao Xiang Zhao Gao and generally cherishing the old country, and Zhao Cheng also guessed this.

"Zhao Wangxi has returned to the country, and the battle of Xiang Yu Julu has solved the crisis of Zhao State, does Aiqing intend to defect in his heart? If you really have this heart, you will be rewarded with a lot of money. "Ziying is too lazy to go around in circles.

Zhao Cheng explained, "The relatives of the ministers are already a distant branch of the Zhao royal family, and they have been floating for many years, and Zhao Wang Xie will not admit it." ”

Ziying nodded, Zhao Wangxi turned out to be just the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and was Zhang Er, a guest of Xinling Junmen, and Chen Yu, an old minister of Chen Sheng, established him as the king of Zhao.

Although Zhao Cheng didn't get to the point, it was indeed the right choice not to defect.

"The widow once promised the position of the Grand Master, the beauty of the harem, and today it is for Aiqing." Ziying said, since Zhao Cheng doesn't plan to leave, what should be given must be given.

"Back to the king, that day was a gaffe, and today he is sober and does not dare to make a mistake." Zhao Cheng hurriedly refused.

"Aiqing has saved the widow twice, and you have no jokes... Besides, Aiqing is not at ease if she doesn't accept widows! Ziying's tone was cold.

Zhao Cheng looked up at Ziying and said with a wry smile, "The king is really suspicious of his ministers. ”

Ziying was a little embarrassed to be said, as if she had deceived a woman's feelings.

"There is no skepticism, but there is vigilance. Aiqing is not unopposed, what about Zhao Gao Yanle's family? After the death of the two of them, the family will inevitably plummet, if they say anything to Aiqing, the consequences are unimaginable. Ziying said what she thought in her heart, and the twists and turns of the imperial technique were what Ziying hated the most.

Zhao Cheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The minister was so suspicious of the king before he came. ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Ziying and Zhao Cheng looked at each other.

Ziying broke the silence, "That is, Aiqing saved the widow, and if he is replaced by someone else, the widow will definitely be severely punished." ”

"Then what does the king want to do with his ministers?" Zhao Cheng asked boldly, it might be good to be able to survive.

"This is simple, the widow will not kill you, the grace of saving his life twice is still there, and the widow can't do it." Ziying said.

Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, everything is not important with this sentence.

"The things that the widow promised you will definitely do, there are too many beauties in the harem, and it is also the beauty of adults to send you. Taishi is also a false position, you just enjoy the high-ranking officials. Ziying said.

Zhao Cheng can quickly figure out these two points, and Ziying doesn't want to hide them from him.

Ziying can still cash in on these, Zhao Cheng was slightly surprised, "Then what does the king want?" The king should not do a deal that only loses money and does not make money. ”

"The widow is gambling." Ziying replied.

"Bet on what?" Zhao Cheng was puzzled.

Ziying said word by word, "Bet that your Zhao family will not rebel." ”

Ziying said all the words in her heart, and her heart was inexplicably happy.

Ziying can not kill Zhao Gao's relatives, Zhao Cheng is already secretly grateful in his heart, yesterday's reward can still be cashed, Zhao Cheng can't afford to rebel at all.

Zhao Cheng knelt on the ground reverently, "The minister swears with the lives of the entire Zhao clan that he will never rebel and never cause trouble to the dynasty!" ”

"From now on, you are Xiangguo, and tomorrow's funeral will be attended by you as the prime minister." Ziying commanded, "The widow wants the world to know that Qin Jun is not cruel, Zhao Gao is guilty, and his rank can also be in a high position." ”

"Obey the King's Commandment!"

After Zhao Cheng retreated, Han Tan flashed out from the side of the main hall, followed by dozens of halberd-wielding guards.

Ziying was taken aback, "Han Aiqing, what is this for?" ”

Han Tan knelt down and replied, "Back to the king, Zhao Chengnai is Zhao Gao's own brother, and his martial arts are extraordinary, and the ministers are afraid that Zhao Cheng will be unfavorable to the king, so they specially ambushed some guards and asked the king to forgive him." ”

As soon as Han Tan became Lang Zhongling, he was able to think about him like this, and Ziying was very moved.

It was already evening, and the affairs of the Zhao family were settled, and the sky in the northwest was full of black clouds, like a large army pressing the border.

"Liu Bang should have passed the Wuguan Pass and is attacking the Yaoguan, right? As soon as the pass is broken, Xianyang will be in danger. Ziying held the jade seal and muttered, and the eight words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity" on the front of the jade seal of the country were particularly dazzling.
