After conquering Linle, in addition to leaving a part of the troops to continue to maintain the law and order of Yan State, Pang Xuan led the lively squad of the Zhao State army to Handan.

A grand celebration was held in Handan City, Zhao Dan personally took the stage to reward the meritorious soldiers, and the air in Handan City was once again filled with the fragrance of wine, which was destined to be another happy autumn for Zhao people.

On this day, Zhao Dan sat at the table and looked at a piece of music from Zhao Guonan's army.

There are hundreds of words on it, but in general, there are only two meanings.

First, Zhao Guole knew nothing about Lejian's planning of Jing Ke's assassination, and all contact with Lejian was carried out at the behest of the king (Zhao Dan) in order to persuade Lejian.

Second, please kill the king!

Zhao Dan looked at this piece and thought in his heart.

Obviously, this is Zhao Guole's and Yan Guole's cutting. In fact, on the second day of Jing Ke's assassination, Le Cheng had already personally entered the palace to plead guilty, and it can be said that the cutting had begun since that time.

This is also something that can't be helped, who let Lejian, the patriarch of the Yan Guole clan, be involved in Jing Ke's assassination?

Zhao Dan thought for a while and looked at Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, you should have seen this recital of General Lecheng, right?" Thou art the Scoundrel, so let me tell you what you think. ”

Yu Xin said almost without hesitation: "King, Lejian's plot to assassinate the king is an unforgivable crime, and he must be severely punished to set an example!" In the opinion of the minister, the three clans should be punished! ”

All the ministers of Zhao immediately agreed with this opinion.

You must know that these ministers did not know about Jing Ke's assassination at the beginning, and they were also taken aback for this.

None of the important ministers of Longtai hoped that Zhao Dan would have an accident at this time, which would not only affect the unification of Zhao State, but also the prince of Zhao State, Zhao Heng, was not yet an adult, which was also a big challenge to the political stability of Zhao State.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, the ascension of the new monarch means that someone must step down among the important ministers, which is something that all the important ministers of Longtai do not want to see.

Therefore, these ministers hate Jing Ke even more than Zhao Dan himself, and they all wish to frustrate Jing Ke and raise ashes to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Very good, since this is the case, then pass on the order and punish the music room and its three clans!" If there is a Zhao Guole clan among the three clans, Si Kou's belonging, Hu Yiwei, and Jian Wei will jointly review their behavior and make a decision, and those who are implicated in this matter will die, and those who are not implicated will not be guilty. ”

As the mastermind behind Jing Ke, there is no doubt that Le Jian must die.

If you don't punish Lejian severely, then if other countries come to play this play in the future, what kind of Jing Ke No. 2 and No. 3, then how can it be done?

Although Lejian also surrendered, Lejian resisted to the last moment after the city was broken, and he surrendered only after determining that there was really no chance, and the surrender of Xiancheng is not the same concept at all.

Zhao Guo suffered nearly 30,000 casualties in the battle of Linle City, and it is not an exaggeration to record the lives of these 30,000 people.

On the whole, only a ruthless punishment can deter the minds of other ill-intentioned people and those who resist to the end, so that the next Jing Ke will not dare to appear, and let all the guys who are ready to resist to the end know that there is only a dead end!

"By the way, there's also this guy Jing Ke. He was born in Puyang, right? Puyang is now also the territory of the widow, Yu Qing, you immediately find out the three clans of Jing Ke for the widow, and punish them! ”

Whoever wants to kill a widow, the widow will kill his whole family! No, it's the whole family!

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "The Southern Army Zhonglang will be loyal to the country, reward 100 horses of silk and 10 pieces of gold. ”

For so many years, whether it was Hu Yiwei who was ambushed in Yan or the supervisor who was responsible for monitoring the officials of Zhao State, he never found that Le Cheng was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so Zhao Dan felt that Le Cheng still needed to be appeased.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng said: "The king, the minister of the Yan State, Cai Niao and others should cooperate with the outside to help General Li Mu take the Jidu, and they should be rewarded, I don't know what kind of reward the king wants to give to his people?" ”

Zhao Dan thought for a while and said slowly: "Cai Niao, judging from the report submitted by Ju Xin and General Li Mu, after taking Jidu, he tried his best to cooperate with the two generals to conquer and pacify other places in Yan Kingdom, which is a great credit to the widow and Zhao State. The widow decided to make him Ping Yanjun, and the rest of the former ministers of Yan who followed Cai Niao's uprising were promoted to one level! ”

If you have done something, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will definitely be rewarded. Cai Niao and the anti-bone ministers of the Yan State of his faction can be said to have made great efforts in this battle, otherwise it is still a question whether the current Zhao State can break through the Ji Capital, let alone completely destroy the Yan State.

According to a rough estimate, Cai Niao and the others saved at least a year of time for Zhao and about 50,000 casualties of Zhao soldiers.

And with Cai Niao's example, then when Zhao State attacks other countries in the future, there will definitely be some people among the ministers of those countries who will choose to surrender, after all, the quality of death for a confidant belongs to a minority in any era, and the people with the mentality of choosing trees and perching on good birds are the real majority.

"By the way, how is Li Mu's attack on Korea now?" Zhao Dan asked suddenly.

Lian Po replied: "Back to the king, Governor Li Mu has already led his army to conquer seventeen cities in Korea, and judging from the latest battle report, Pyongyang City should be surrounded in one or two days. ”

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "I heard that the winter in the north will come earlier, remember to let Li Mu pay attention, if there is not enough time, he will withdraw to Liaodong first, and then send troops until next spring." ”

Today's Mizi Korea is about the same size as later Korea, that is, the entire northern half of the Korean Peninsula.

This place was the territory of China during the Han and Tang dynasties in history, and as a Han nationalist, Zhao Dan was sure to take down this "since ancient times" territory.

In fact, Zhao Dan is not limited to the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, considering the two pit countries on this peninsula in later generations, Zhao Dan believes that it is necessary for him to take down the entire Korean Peninsula.

Of course, it is not only the Korean Peninsula, but also the territory that will be called Japan in the future will have to be taken over by the Korean Peninsula.

Once and for all, those islands are rich in silver mines, and the Iwami Silver Mine was the largest silver mine in the world for hundreds of years, and this is definitely not to be missed.

However, fortunately, there are only a few backward countries in South Korea, and there are only a group of wild people in the Japanese archipelago, so there is no need to rush these things.

Zhao Dan was dealing with political affairs in the front, and in the harem, Zhao Dan's queen Han Wan was also handling another matter for him.

"It's hard to travel thousands of miles." Han Wan smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager Yan in front of her, who was about the same age as herself, and her tone was very calm when she spoke.

Empress Dowager Yan had a tired look on her face, and there was still a hint of imperceptible sadness in the corners of her eyes, she sat there quietly without saying a word.

Han Wan didn't feel annoyed by Empress Dowager Yan's ignorance, but said very gently: "It seems that you don't really want to talk, so I'll come back another day." ”

Just as Han Wan was about to get up and leave, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly spoke: "Has Brother Wang made up his mind?" ”

Han Wan turned around and sat down again, and then nodded lightly: "Yes, Lejian and Jing Ke are all punished by the three clans, and all those involved in this matter are all over the house to show the public." ”

A miserable smile flashed on Empress Dowager Yan's face, and she said slowly: "What about the old woman and Ke'er?" ”

Han Wan sighed and said, "You shouldn't have agreed to let Le Jian plan this matter, you should know that this matter can't be hidden from the king." ”

Empress Dowager Yan's voice suddenly became sharp: "But he wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom, that is the Yan Kingdom of the old woman and Ke'er, not the Yan Kingdom of his Zhao Dan!" ”

Han Wan looked at Empress Dowager Yan quietly, her eyes were full of sympathy: "Yes, if I and you are in the same place, I will definitely make the same choice." Our women were supposed to marry their husbands, and there is nothing wrong with that. But thou shalt know that if you have done something wrong, someone must pay the price. The majesty of the Kingdom of Zhao and the Great King cannot be provoked, and I will not allow a second assassination of the Great King. ”

Han Wan's meaning was actually obvious, just the heads of Le Jian and Jing Ke still couldn't calm Zhao Guo's anger. Even if Zhao Dan could agree, the ministers of Zhao State and Han Wan, the queen, would not agree.

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Han Wan fixedly, and after a while, she finally showed a pleading look: "Ke'er is still young, he can't be involved in this matter, just let Ke'er go." ”

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Han Wan said slowly: "Speaking of which, Ke'er is also my son and nephew, and taking care of him is also something I should do. Ke'er can live, but only as a concubine. ”

Empress Dowager Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face for the first time: "Thank you." ”

Han Wan smiled and said softly, "Okay, let's have a good rest." We will have someone send Ke'er over, so you can accompany him for the next few days. ”

"No need." Empress Dowager Yan interrupted Han Wan's words: "Let's start now, the old woman is ready." ”

Han Wan had a surprised expression on her face, hesitated for a while, and still met Empress Dowager Yan's request.

"Someone, drink."

A palace man held a jue of wine and carefully placed it in front of the Empress Dowager Yan.

The wine is as red as blood, and if you look closely, you will find that it is blue-black.

Empress Dowager Yan picked up the wine jue with a calm face.

Han Wan couldn't help but say, "You ...... Really don't you say goodbye to Ke'er first? ”

"No need." Empress Dowager Yan shook her head: "It's nothing more than asking for trouble." ”

With that, she tilted her head and drank the wine.

"Dang!" The wine fell to the ground, without making a sound on the thick carpet, and after rolling a few laps it stopped.

Empress Dowager Yan's body slowly slumped into the chair and slowly closed her eyes.

A trace of red liquid, not known whether it was wine or blood, seeped from her lips and dripped to the ground.

Han Wan watched all this quietly, and the many emotions in her heart finally turned into a long sigh.

"Why bother......
