Handan City.

It's already autumn, the summer heat is beginning to dissipate, and the leaves are falling all over the city of Handan, and they are golden everywhere.

Autumn was supposed to be a bleak season, but at this moment, Handan City is in full swing.

Of course, it is not the weather that is hot, but the fiery passion of the soldiers and civilians of Handan City.

Because just a few days ago, a cheerful news came back to Handan Palace, and it spread throughout Handan from the palace city at a very fast speed.

Yingdu was defeated, and many core figures of Chu such as Chu Wang Han, Empress Dowager Li of Chu State, and Yin Li Yuan of Chu State Ling Yin Li Yuan were captured!

And just now, another news also came out from the palace - according to the report of Pang Xuan, the main general of the East Road, Wucheng, the base of the three major families, was breached, and the Jing clan was destroyed among the three major families trapped in Wucheng, and the Zhao clan and the Qu clan surrendered!

When the news of the destruction of Wucheng also came, although they had already been mentally prepared, all the people in Handan City still breathed a long sigh of relief.

The demise of the Chu State represents that there is no longer any country on the entire Chinese continent that can be hostile to the Zhao State, and the chaos of nearly a thousand years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the era of the Great Conquest is finally coming to an end!

Of course, as Zhao people who advocate military merits, they have long known that the destruction of Chu will not be the end, there are still Baiyue in the south, there are Xiongnu entrenched in Mobei in the north, and Donghu entrenched in the northeast, as well as the Western Regions, and even the plateau west and south of Longxi.

But in any case, the civil war time of all the Chinese people in the entire land of China has finally ended.

From now on, all wars will only be fought between the Huaxia and the foreign races, and there will never be any Huaxia people in any place who will die under the sword of the Huaxia people because of the war!

And this new dynasty of the Huaxia clan, its name is - Zhao!

……

Half a month later, several extremely well-guarded carriages, escorted by an elite Zhao army soldiers, headed towards the palace from the road outside the south gate of Handan, which also caused many Zhao people who saw this scene to discuss it.

"Could it be that some big man has returned to Handan?"

What they didn't know was that the carriage was not actually a big man of the Zhao State, but the King of Chu, the Empress Dowager Li, and Ling Yin Li Yuan, who were captured by the Zhao army in the Battle of Yingdu.

Although it is said that the three major families have also set up a king of Chu by themselves, and even Jingtong has named himself Ling Yin, but Zhao Guo actually does not recognize the king of Chu on the side of the three major families, and only recognizes the current king of Chu.

After all, the king of Chu is the son of Xiong Yuan, the first king of the Chu State.

Soon, the pale-faced Chu Wang Han stepped out of the carriage and looked at the Longtai Palace in front of him, his face looking a little confused and dazed.

This place, in fact, Chu Wanghan has been here, after all, Chu Wanghan had been a proton in Handan for a few years.

It's just that later, because of the incident in the Huaxia Xue Palace, this Chu Wang Han was finally ordered by Zhao to return to Chu.

There is no doubt that King Han of Chu, who was still the crown prince of Chu State at that time, would never have thought that when he returned to the city of Handan again, he would be the last king of Chu State.

The palace guards of the Zhao State seemed to have received orders in advance, and they stood there silently one by one, and no one urged the king of Chu.

After a long time, King Han of Chu let out a long sigh and walked towards the steps in front of him.

Although he was escorted back to Handan with Empress Dowager Li and Li Yuan, only one person from Chu Wang Han appeared here at this moment.

After a few years, this palace does not seem to have changed at all, but it seems to be more imposing than the impression of King Han of Chu.

A moment later, Chu Wang Han walked into the palace.

There was a man there waiting for his arrival.

But when Chu Wanghan saw the person sitting in the top position, he couldn't help but show a stunned look on his face, and the tone of his voice involuntarily became sharp, and he even looked a little angry: "Why is it?" ”

In the hope of the king of Chu, sitting in this palace and waiting for his arrival, of course, the only one can be Zhao Dan, who is the same king as himself.

However, Zhao Dan is not here, here is another old acquaintance of Chu Wanghan, Zhao Heng, the prince of Zhao State.

Although one is the monarch and the other is the prince, Zhao Heng and Chu Wanghan are actually the same age, and they used to study together back then, so it is not too much to say that they are classmates.

In Chu Wanghan's opinion, classmates are classmates, and Zhao Dan actually asked the prince to meet Chu Wanghan, which is the biggest humiliation for Chu Wanghan!

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "My father suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday, and now he is recuperating, and he can't see you, so he ordered me to replace him." ”

Only then did Chu Wang Han notice that the position where Zhao Heng was sitting was the throne where Zhao Dan was sitting on weekdays, so he heyed, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Looking at Zhao Heng, who was somewhat high-spirited in front of him, Chu Wanghan's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and even a little sour jealousy.

"It's just a man who relies on his father......"

Zhao Heng didn't know what Chu Wanghan was thinking, and even if he knew, he didn't really care.

The prince of Zhao turned his head to look at a certain place in the curtain of the palace behind him, where a historian of Zhao was sitting, ready to go down in history this meeting.

Zhao Heng turned his head, solemnized the expression on his face, coughed and cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "Xiong Han, as the king of Chu, you tried to resist in vain when facing the righteous army of my Zhao State, and caused many soldiers of Zhao State and the soldiers and civilians of Chu to suffer heavy casualties because of this, which is really a great crime!" However, my father has always been merciful, so he does not want to take your life, and now he will depose you as a concubine, and exile you to Youzhou with the members of the Xiong clan, and the Xiong clan will be pardoned within a hundred years, and it will take effect on the same day! ”

Although he had already been mentally prepared, when he heard such a ruling with his own ears, Chu Wanghan's body couldn't help but tremble fiercely.

From now on, the 800 years of glory of the Chu royal family will be the same as the name of the Chu State, forever becoming history.

Chu Wang Han raised his head and took a deep look at Zhao Heng, who was also looking at him.

Anger, disdain, powerlessness, chagrin, hatred...... Countless emotions kept alternating on Chu Wanghan's young face, and even made his face become a little distorted.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

After a while, the last monarch of the Chu State sighed softly, slowly stood up, and walked towards the outside of the palace gate step by step.
