It is the season of the autumn breeze, and the city of Handan once again ushered in the monarchs of the six countries who came to seek peace.

Anything is always new for the first time, but when it comes to the word "again", it doesn't seem to have much meaning, as if it can already be used to it.

In the eyes of these ordinary people of Zhao State, it is a matter of course that they and Zhao can achieve victory, and it is also a matter of course that other monarchs come to worship their own king.

Of course, this kind of reason is not because of the superiority in the bones of the people of Zhao State, but completely because of the self-confidence that Zhao State has fought in the past few years of conquest, with the blood of countless soldiers of the other six countries and the territory of other countries.

By this time, Handan had completely become the largest city in the entire Central Plains and even in the whole of China, where countless merchants stayed and traded, countless nobles lived here, countless spies spied on intelligence here, and countless people of Zhao lived hard and proudly here.

Everything seems to be very normal, no different from the past, but what most people in Handan City don't know is that in this Handan City, something is about to happen that is destined to go down in history.

After the monarchs of the six countries arrived in Handan City, Zhao Dan arranged for them to live in each of them, especially in the pavilion of Wei Zeng, the prince of Wei, and his entourage were heavily protected, so it can be said that even a mosquito could not fly in, and refused all the envoys of other countries or the monarch's requests and invitations.

On September 8, 264 BC, the twelfth year of Zhao Dan's official succession to the throne, a meeting was held in the Longtai of Handan Palace.

In this article, there are many big names in this world gathered in the main hall of Longtai in Handan, Zhao Dan sits on the top of the main seat, and the other five monarchs sit on the left and right of Zhao Dan, but there is still a position that is empty, that is, the position that should have belonged to the Wei State.

There have been many speculations about this, but no one dares to say them.

In addition to a few monarchs, there are also important ministers of various countries, such as Qin State Wu Chengjun Lü Buwei, Chu State Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, Qi State Xiangbang Housheng and so on, and the rest are accompanied by Zhao State's civil and military officials.

After everyone was already seated, Zheng Zhu, a pedestrian from Zhao State, suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice to Zhao Dan: "Great King, Prince Zeng of Wei led the ministers of Wei to ask for a meeting outside the palace!" ”

As soon as Zheng Zhu's voice fell, the monarchs of all countries showed surprised expressions on their faces, it turned out that Prince Wei was not forbidden to appear here.

Could it be that this means that there is still a drama in the Wei State?

Zhao Dan nodded very calmly and said, "Let him come in." ”

A moment later, Wei Zeng, the ten-year-old prince of Wei, appeared at the main entrance in front of Longtai.

Wei Zeng did not come alone, there was a group of people behind Wei Zeng, judging from the clothing of these people, they were obviously the ministers of Wei.

Wei Zeng and the ministers of Wei appeared on the main hall of Zhao at such a moment, why did he come here?

Many shrewd people, such as Lu Buwei and Yan Guoxiang Bang Lejian, have begun to change their faces.

It stands to reason that since there is still a seat left for Wei on the platform, then Prince Wei Zeng, as the actual leader of Wei now, should sit in the position that belongs to the king of Wei as a matter of course.

But he didn't.

When Prince Wei walked under the platform where Zhao Dan was, he suddenly stopped, his little face was flushed, and after several breaths, he slowly knelt down towards Zhao Dan.

Not only Prince Wei Zeng, but even all the Wei ministers who followed him also knelt down towards Zhao Dan in unison.

A white-haired minister of Wei, who was following Prince Wei Zeng, took out a document from his bosom and read it aloud.

"The prince of Wei and all the subjects of Wei wrote to the king of Zhao:

Wei Yu Zhao came out of the Jin State, which was originally a unified country. Now the Wei State is willing to return the whole country to Zhao, and from now on, he will be Zhao Chen! ”

The old minister of Wei was obviously in a very agitated mood, only two or three sentences, but he took almost a cup of tea to finish it, and even when he read the last sentence, the whole person was still a little choked.

Not only this old minister, but among the many ministers of the Wei State, a low sobbing sound could be vaguely heard.

The kings and ministers of the other five countries looked at all this, and their faces changed greatly.

At this time, Zhao Dan slowly stood up, left under his throne, and personally stepped off the stage and helped the crown prince Wei Zeng up.

Looking at the expression of obvious horror and sadness on Wei Zeng's face, Zhao Dan also sighed secretly in his heart.

Child, maybe you think it's a shame to be annexed by Zhao like this, but you don't know that compared to the tragic fate in the time and space where the widow traveled and arrived, the ending of Wei and you should actually be much better.

After Zhao Dan helped up Prince Zeng of Wei, he set his eyes on the ministers of Wei after Prince Zeng, and then said slowly: "Everyone get up." ”

After Zhao Dan's words fell, all the ministers of the Wei State slowly got up, and a sad mood quietly filled the hall.

At this moment, the old minister of Wei State, who had just finished reading the document, carefully took a tray from the hand of the person on the side, bent down and presented it to Zhao Dan very respectfully.

There are two things on the tray, one is the seal of the king of Wei symbolizing the power of the monarch of Wei, and the other is the tiger talisman used by Wei to transfer troops.

After handing over these two things, it symbolized that Wei had transferred the highest political and military power to Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan took these two things with a serious face, cherished it and handed it to Mao Sui on the side, and then said in a deep voice: "Pingyuanjun, declare the decree for the widow!" ”

Zhao Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, stood up, took out a will that had already been prepared, and read it aloud: "Prince Wei is a smart person, he can be loyal to the widow according to the mandate of heaven, and he is specially named Wei Jun, enjoying 10,000 households of food, and his fief is in Tunliu County, Shangdang County, and all the treatment is the same as the royal family, and the title can be passed down from generation to generation, and he will rest with the country!" The rest of the Wei courtiers will all be Zhao ministers in the future, and the widows should be treated equally and regarded as loyal ministers! ”

After reading out this Zhao Dan's will, Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, came to the front of Prince Wei with a smile on his face, and said, "Please accept the order, Wei Jun." ”

Prince Wei once again knelt down towards Zhao Dan, took the will with his hands over his head, and then bowed to Zhao Dan with a big salute, and said loudly: "Minister Wei Zeng has thanked the king!" ”

Behind Wei Zeng, all the ministers of Wei also bowed again, and said in unison: "The ministers have thanked the king!" ”

From today on, there is no longer the vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty in this world, Wei, only the feudal monarch of the Zhao State - Wei Jun!

Zhao Dan helped Wei Zeng up again with a smile on his face, and encouraged Wei Zeng a few more words, and then said: "Okay, Wei Jun must be a little tired, so let's go down and rest first." ”

Wei Zeng didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he naturally left with many ministers of Wei.

Zhao Dan stood there with a smile on his face, watching the departure of the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State.

At this moment, the rest of the monarchs and ministers of the five kingdoms in the main hall had extremely complicated expressions, although they had already known the fact that Zhao State would inevitably annex Wei State, but they did not expect that Zhao Dan would choose to annex Wei State in front of them in a grand manner, in front of the entire world!

The era of the juxtaposition of the seven warring states that has been maintained throughout the world since the three families were divided into Jin and the Tian clan was replaced by Qi has finally been broken!

From today on, the seven warring states will be missing the Wei family, and there will only be six families of Zhao, Qin, Han, Qi, Chu, and Yan.

Although it may seem like only one is missing, the impact of this is extremely far-reaching.

This means that the other Warring States are no longer able to restrain the expansion of the Zhao State, and can no longer maintain the vicious circle of "whoever fights whoever fights until it declines" for two hundred years.

The state of Wei has been wiped out, so is the day when other countries will perish far away?

This is no longer an unattainable possibility, but an imminent threat and a reality!

As soon as they thought of this, several monarchs from other countries suddenly felt cold on their backs, and there was a feeling like falling into an ice cave.

In addition, the reward just announced by Zhao Dan also explains a lot of things.

If these countries were destroyed by Zhao in the future, as long as the monarchs and ministers of these countries were willing to surrender to Zhao, then they would also receive the same treatment as the current monarchs and ministers of Wei.

The kings of the kingdoms can't be the kings, but at least they can retain the position of a feudal monarch, and the descendants can at least be a free noble, and the ministers of these countries will at least have a chance to integrate into the political arena of the Zhao State.

All in all, this is already a gentle enough annexation with as little blood as possible.

It wasn't until the figure of the last minister of Wei disappeared from Zhao Dan's sight that Zhao Dan slowly turned around and returned to his throne, looking at the other five monarchs in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you very much for being able to participate in this grand meeting of the widow today, I believe that all of you must have some thoughts about this, so please go back and think about it, and then give the widow an answer at tomorrow's meeting."

After Zhao Dan said this, the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the five countries changed at the same time.

Yu Xin's plan had already been told to the monarchs of the Five Kingdoms by Zhao Guo, and tomorrow would be the time for the monarchs of the Five Kingdoms to give their final answers.

Once the price given by one of these countries makes Zhao feel the most insincere, then this country is likely to become the next Wei State, and the monarch of this country will become the next Wei Zeng!

Looking at the changing faces of the monarchs of all countries, Zhao Dan smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Didn't you once want to unite to destroy the widow and the Zhao state? Now, when it comes to you, we have come to taste this precarious and perishable demise at any moment!
