The alliance of the Five Kingdoms led by Wei and Zhao, because of Zhao Yong's fish and nets, Feiyi's ingenious arrangement, and Zhao Xing's running around, eventually became an empty talk.

Zhao Yong had an army of 450,000 in his hand, and ordered the troops of the five countries who came to the funeral not to enter the border of Zhao, and only allowed the envoys of the five countries to bring the condolences of the kings of each country into the country, and the minister in charge of receiving them from Zhao sent them directly to Handan.

Wei, Qin, and Qi saw that Zhao was heavily armed and heavily guarded, and that the alliance of Zhao, Han, and Song had been formed, so they had to dispel the idea of taking advantage of Zhao.

After the envoys of the five countries entered Zhao, they saw that there were 450,000 elites of Zhao State, claiming that millions of them were gathered outside Handan City, and war was about to break out. didn't dare to make any mistakes, and after burying Zhao Suhou with Zhao Yonghou, he left in a hurry. The conspiracy of the Five Kingdoms Tu Zhao initiated by King Wei Hui was thwarted by Zhao Guofeiyi and Zhao Xing. And the young Zhao Yongchu withstood such a severe test when he first set foot on the throne, and his throne was also secured.

And the funeral of Zhao Suhou also made Zhao feel extremely proud, because of its grand scale and rich burial, especially the burial armor is unmatched since ancient times, and Zhao Suhou's longevity garden is envied by the princes of the world and is called the mausoleum. It is also the first mausoleum in China to be called a mausoleum.

When Zhao Xing was crying in the mourning and weeping funeral crowd, he quietly wrote down this location - if he could travel back, he must have carried explosives and dug him. More than 100 years earlier than the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the treasures full of pits and valleys, especially those who have made their own special markings, do not need archaeologists to bother at all.

In Jingmen, a huge suburb of Handan, a group of soldiers like a torrent, after passing through Jingmen, took off their helmets, and then burst into cheers and walked to the way home, which lasted for ten days.

Going out on the march, going out from Jingmen and wearing helmets, symbolizing their transformation from civilians to warriors and going to the battlefield. Returning, passing through Jingmen, taking off the helmet, symbolizes the release of the soldiers from conscription and the end of the war. It symbolizes their return from warriors to civilians. It symbolizes that this year, they can enjoy the output of their land with peace of mind, and they can have their wives and children hot kang. Well, now hot kang is already popular in Zhao country.

According to the rules, Zhao Xing can return to his fiefdom Daijun at this time and run his own small family, which is also what Zhao Xing can't wait to do.

But—

However, as the most dazzling upstart and the favored minister that Zhao Yongjun relied on, Zhao Xing was trapped by the complicated ushering and sending of the national capital, so that he could not set off.

The state funeral, after the last shovel of soil was patted with sincerity, was officially concluded. The joyful feasting of the nobles and scholars immediately replaced the sorrow and sorrow of the state mourning.

The feast and sheng song enveloped the entire Handan and the entire Zhao country in a blink of an eye.

And Zhao Yong's official succession ceremony also needed Zhao Xing to participate, so he could only give up running a small family and continue to stay in Ducheng, and began to enjoy the life of a nobleman for the sake of this country.

In fact, the original Marquis Zhao Su died in the dormitory, and Zhao Yong forced the ministers in the main hall to congratulate him on his succession.

Because according to Zhou etiquette, the succession of the monarch of a vassal state must be recognized by Zhou Tianzi, and the golden book and jade disc issued by him can be justified.

This requires a very cumbersome ceremonial process, although Zhou Tianzi is just a walking formality. But the situation still has to go, and it has to go through a full set, this is Zhou Li.

But here is the fastest way to get Zhou Tianzi's approval, you can't succeed to the throne when your father is mourning, even if it is recognized by the people, it is called fake at this time. Later, I felt that this word was indeed unlucky and unpleasant, so I changed a word called quan, which means temporary change.

Only after the state funeral, at least the nearby princes and monarchs should send representatives to congratulate, and then hold a grand ceremony to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and you, the king, will be officially recognized by the world.

This is a very solemn matter, and it can't be sloppy at all, so it will take more than half a year to prepare, and Zhao Xing can only continue to stay in the national capital and wait for the official ceremony to end before he can return to his fiefdom.

By the way, I have to say here that in fact, all the aura and glory on Zhao Xing's body now, as well as his fiefdom officials, before the monarch officially sent a message to the ancestors of heaven and earth and became the monarch, it was called a promise, and it was not counted. Only when Zhao Yong officially became the monarch and awarded him the golden book and jade pout, did it really take effect. Otherwise, even if he runs to Daijun now, a small person in Daijun has the right to blast it out. So he could only wait, wait for something that had already been set in stone.

The rest of the time is to celebrate, to release half a year of pent-up entertainment.

And Zhao Xing, an upstart, has become a hot and sought-after commodity in the entire Handan City, whether it is officials large and small, or various old nobles, as well as those who can have a relationship with him, and those who want to have a relationship with him in the future, they must be invited to a banquet.

China's wine culture is the most incomprehensible, countless military events are finalized at the banquet, friendships that have been sung for thousands of years are formed at the banquet, and countless problems are easily solved in the wine table.

Of course, there are also cups of wine to release military power, there are also Hongmen banquets, and there are also cups for the number, and the swords and axes come out together, chopping you into meat patties and feeding them to the dogs.

But it is also from this point of view how broad and profound China's wine culture is.

By the way, the current fine wine is not called fine wine, the high-grade one is called pulp, and the elixir and jade liquid come out from here. There is also a poison called poisoned wine and a cup of intestinal poison, but at this time of celebration, no one gave this upstart this one.

In such a long-term relationship, Zhao Xing has used his later communication methods and various interests to bind the upper echelons of the entire Zhao State.

If the popularity is good, there will be a group of fox friends and dog friends, especially Zhao Xing is young, for young people, drinking and eating meat is already tired, and fresh tricks are indispensable.

But in an age of outrageous lack of entertainment, two of the most important professions highlight their appeal to young people.

Admiring women, go to brothels, brothels are not a rare thing in this era, and there are official prostitutes and courtyards controlled by the monarch in Qi State, which are state-owned enterprises. Other countries followed suit, because after all, it brought huge income to the king. It can alleviate financial embarrassment.

But after all, I always linger here, and there is nothing new, let alone exciting, who in the world has the courage to cause trouble in the king's shop?

Then the most exciting industry is gambling, no matter what era, as long as you can distinguish one or two, it will become a gambling project.

Rich people gamble money, and poor people gamble their lives. Those who have a lot of money are really not stimulated, so they gamble money and their lives, of course, they are gambling on the lives of their slaves, gambling on their own lives? Forget it.

The dueling arena of slaves was prevalent in Europe, and in fact, it was also prevalent in the Zhou Dynasty, because human nature is common in the world, and blood and killing are always present in men's genes. So there are many things in common, so there's no need to find out who is learning whom.

This kind of bloody thing, Zhao Xing, who has a benevolent heart, must not do it, and he really can't bear to do it.

So he chose to bet on horses.

On a plain on the outskirts of Handan, there is one of the most prosperous gambling horse farms in this empire, except for the national funeral, even in times of war, it is still full of people, and it is still the most lively place in the entire empire.
