Chapter 70: The Age (Part II)

Jidu, the royal palace, the military machine pavilion.

Pavilion Drama Xin is in his own position in the cabinet, reviewing the documents. Ji Kang personally led the army to attack Zhao, and the affairs in the rear could not be delayed, and the few pavilions were busier than when Ji Kang was in Jidu.

There were many people coming in and out of the cabinet, but it was quiet and orderly.

"Drama." An attendant came to Ju Xin and called in a low voice.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Seeing that it was the close attendant waiting for the Queen Mother, Ji Xin asked softly.

"Drama, the queen mother, the queen and others will leave for Handan tomorrow, let me inform the drama and a few ministers, see if you have anything else?" The chamberlain bowed and spoke.

Two days ago, Ju Wu returned to Jidu, and prepared to escort the queen mother and queen to Handan on the edict of his own king. Ju Xin and Su Belly and other ministers knew about it.

"Lao Chen doesn't have anything else to do here, you go and ask Su Xiang and them again to see if they have anything to do?" You go back to the palace and tell the Queen Mother, and tomorrow the old minister will personally send off the Queen Mother and the Queen. The drama Xin said.

Yan was founded for hundreds of years, and the scale of the construction of the Ji Palace is very grand.

The palace pavilions, the corridor carved railings, the lake pavilions, everywhere are exquisite and detailed.

In the courtyard of the dormitory where Queen Su Ya lived, the eaves of the gorgeous palace roof were bathed in the summer light, reflecting the brilliance of the Dao, making the palace here more and more magnificent and gorgeous.

It's almost June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The queen Su Ya in the palace, as well as the palace maids, all wore thin gauze and silk clothes, which were very eye-catching.

After several years of living in the palace, Su Ya's temperament has become more and more noble and elegant.

The number of palace attendants and ladies is also constantly enriched.

Although according to Yan Law, Ji Palace will no longer recruit internal servants in the future, but the original Buyeo, Jidi, Linzi and other palaces left by the waiters, a lot of commissions, the number of Ji Palace waiters has not decreased but increased.

"Queen, please have tea." A palace maid carried a delicate tea set and put it on the coffee table next to Su Ya.

For the inner palace, the queen is the master of the harem, and this palace maid is waiting carefully.

"You go down first." Su Ya commanded, and looked at the letter that Ji Kang had given her from Handan.

The content of the letter is similar to the content of the letter that Ji Kang gave to the Empress Dowager Ji Zhao.

In the letter, he only said that Zhao Guo had almost calmed down, and asked her to go to Handan with the Queen Mother, Qingzhu, Qingmei and others, as well as three children, and asked her to pay attention to her body along the way.

"After the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, most of this Central Plains has been returned to the territory of my Yan Kingdom." Su Ya pondered.

Zhao was not a small country, but before the Battle of Changping, it was a powerful country alongside Qin.

As the queen, Su Ya's political sensitivity is very high. Knowing that after Yan destroyed Zhao this time, the overall national strength of Yan quickly climbed to a higher level, and the future was brighter.

"The possibility of the king becoming the Son of Heaven is getting bigger and bigger. Queen, coming down is the queen of heaven, I didn't expect that I, Su Ya, would still have today's ......" Su Ya looked at the letter and said softly.

After reading the letter in detail twice, Su Ya folded the letter and put it in her letterbox.

For her now, Su Ya is very satisfied. The only thing that is not satisfied is that Ji Kang still has no name to this day, and canonized his son Ji Hua as the prince of Yanguo.

However, there is still a long way to go, and this issue is not a matter of concern right now.

"Hua'er, mother will put you on the throne of the crown prince." Su Ya made up her mind again.

In June, Zhao Yan was sent to Jidu according to the Yan system.

Ji Kang saw that Handan City had completely stabilized and moved into the palace.

The royal palace in Handan City, like the royal palaces in Jicheng and Linzi, has become Ji Kang's other palace.

On the side of the palace, the many residences that originally belonged to the rich and noble land of the Zhao State seemed empty at this time. Even many of the mansions have a dilapidated appearance.

After the city was broken, at least dozens of royal relatives and many wealthy families who supported the resistance to the Yan army were wiped out by the Yan army. The remaining royal relatives and wealthy families were also relocated to other parts of the Yan Kingdom.

In mid-June, Empress Dowager Ji Zhao, Queen Su Ya and others came to Handan, and Ji Kang personally led the civil and military officials of Yan and the original Zhao State to go out of the city to greet them, and the ceremony was very grand.

The people in Handan City also rushed to tell each other and went out of the city to greet the princess of the original Zhao Kingdom.

In any case, the feelings of the people of Handan for the Queen Mother Ji Zhao are much more enthusiastic than Ji Kang.

At the gate of the city, seeing the familiar city, Empress Dowager Yan Ji Zhao shed tears at that time.

The Queen Mother knows the purpose of her son Ji Kang to bring herself to Handan.

also cooperated with Ji Kang and carried out a full "performance".

On the top of the main hall of the palace, the Queen Mother Ji Zhao and her other younger brother Chang Anjun hugged their heads and cried. Later, he personally issued an edict that Ji Kang must be treated well, the royal family and the people of the former Zhao State of Handan.

In front of many officials of Yan State and Zhao State, the Queen Mother pointed to Ji Kang and said:

"No matter what, from then on, Yan and Zhao have been a family. Everyone remembers to the mourning family that my son Ji Kang's body also has half of Zhao Guo's blood. ”

In this era when the "bloodline theory" is still dominant, the words of the Empress Dowager Ji Zhao immediately resonated with the people of the counties and counties of Zhao after they came out.

Yes! The state of Zhao is dead, but the king of the successor of the state of Zhao, Yan Wang Kang, is actually a native of the Zhao country.

No, the Queen Mother personally said that Yan Wangkang has half of the blood of the Zhao people on his body!

Our Zhao State did not die at the hands of others, but at the hands of our own people, which is acceptable.

In addition, Ji Kang and his mother Ji Zhao went to the temple of Zhao in person, worshiped the ancestors of Zhao State, and buried Zhao Wang Dan with the etiquette of a king, and gave him the nickname "King Xiao".

Then Ji Kang issued another edict, exempting the people of Zhao for one year's taxes, and gave the people of Zhao the same preferential treatment as the people of Yan. After some operations, Zhao Di, which was occupied by Yan State, completely calmed down at the end of June.

The battle of Zhao, which took place in the fourth year of Yan Wang Kang, ended in the victory of Yan.

The state of Zhao, which was founded in the 153rd year of the country, was annexed by the state of Yan, and the state of Zhao was destroyed.

After the founding of the Zhao State, although there was a "martyrdom of Jianxiang", the national strength was not strong. In the early decades of the founding of the state, the state of Zhao was repeatedly humiliated by the states of the Central Plains, as well as the nomadic tribes of the north.

The real rise of the Zhao State was in the era of King Wuling of Zhao.

At that time, the Zhao State, destroyed Zhongshan, defeated Lin Hu, Lou Fu, opened up the territory for thousands of miles, the territory spanned both ends of the Taihang Mountains, north to the grassland, west to the Hetao, south to the hinterland of the Central Plains, east to Yan and Qi, more than 2,000 miles longitudinal and horizontal.

During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao resisted the Xiongnu in the north and strong Qin in the south, becoming a country that could compete with Qin, which was the biggest obstacle to Qin's eastward expansion. After the death of King Wuling of Zhao, the state of Zhao gradually declined under the continuous blows of the Qin state.

Especially in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Wangdan did not trust his country's good general Lian Po, but believed in slander and deposed in vain, Zhao Wangdan's mediocrity and incompetence finally made Zhao State's 450,000 elite army was killed by Qin State, and the national strength declined.

After the Battle of Handan, Zhao was supposed to recuperate and restore its national strength. But it's a pity that whether it's Ji Kang's past life or this life. Zhao has always hated Yan State, entangled with Yan State, and lost the last chance to rise.

Handan Palace, Longtai Palace.

The Longtai Hall is the tallest building in Handan City.

Handan City does not have the current thistle capital, there are many high-rise houses, and the city is basically bungalows.

Ji Kang stood at the carved railing outside the main hall, looking up at the many stars in the sky, which were emitting a little starlight.

Looking down, the lights of thousands of homes lit up in the city echo the stars in the sky, which is very bright.

Ji Kang wanted to immerse himself in this peaceful life, but he knew that it was impossible!

The state of Zhao has been destroyed, but there are still the states of Wei, Korea, and Chu, as well as the mighty state of Qin and the Xiongnu in the northern steppes.

In this era, Ji Kang can't relax, and he doesn't dare to relax! Only step by step, with heavy loads!
