"Greetings to my king!"

Yang Fu bowed with a respectful expression.

"General Yang, who are you obeying?" Zhao Xie said.

"Ministers obey the king's orders and the king's appointed superiors! At present, he only obeys the orders of the Great King and Guangwu Jun. Yang Fu replied respectfully.

Chen Yu was dismissed, and he was not appointed to other military positions by King Zhao, so nominally he could not directly command the army, and as for the position of Xiangguo, he could only be in charge of administrative affairs.

"From now on, you are only at the mercy of the outnumbered!"

"No!"

"General Yang, the safety of Xiangguo is related to the life and death of Zhao State, and the widow wants you to replace Liao Tong and be responsible for the security of the capital!"

"The minister will never live up to the king's trust!" Although Yang Fu felt surprised, he respectfully accepted the order.

"From now on, the widow will promote you to the rank of national lieutenant!"

"King Xie!" Yang Fu knelt down to thank him, grateful in his heart, originally his military rank was a captain, but now it is equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row.

Subsequently, the chamberlain came to report that Wu She, the envoy of the State of Chu, came to Xiangguo, saying that it was the order of King Feng Xiang to come to meet King Zhao.

Xiang Yu took the initiative to send someone over, and Zhao Xie found it interesting.

Li Zuodao: "King, if Xiang Yu intends to unite, it stands to reason that it is a good thing." However, we drove away the king of Changshan who was divided by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu may think that it is disrespectful, and things will not be so simple. ”

Zhao Xie said: "We'll know when we meet tomorrow!" ”

He ordered someone to arrange for Wu Shi to rest at the post house and meet him tomorrow.

Immediately afterwards, the chamberlain came to report that Liao Tong had arrived.

"Greetings to my king!"

Liao Tong bowed.

In Zhao Xie's view, he just performed the courtesy of the monarch according to the system, but people did not feel the respect for the king.

Liao Tong was promoted by Chen Yu and was one of Chen Yu's original team members when he raised troops at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

For such a person, even if Chen Yu has been removed, it is difficult to guarantee that he will 100% obey only King Zhao's orders.

If he does not replace himself in the central position, Zhao Xie cannot be regarded as completely in control of the army.

Liao Tong saw that Li Zuoche and Yang Fu were also present, and asked, "King, I don't know what happened to you summoning your ministers?" ”

Zhao Xie did not respond directly, Li Zuodao: "Three years ago, you followed Xiangguo to support the king, and your hard work was high, and the king hopes that you can make another meritorious service." The Han army will definitely invade our Zhao State again, and the king has decided to let you participate in the training of the troops, and when the war comes, you will participate in the battle. ”

Zhao Xie said again: "The position of the defenders of the capital will be handed over to Yang Fu to take over." ”

Liao Tong immediately understood, it turned out that he was here to seize power, and what Li Zuoche said was just an excuse.

Zhao Xie said: "Give the talisman to the widow!" ”

Inside and outside the study, there are soldiers who are closely guarded, as long as he gives an order, Liao Tong can be taken down at any time. The generals of Zhao State who held important positions all had military talismans, and they must be carried with them at any time as required, if Liao Tong dared to say that he was not on his body, it would be a dereliction of duty.

Being in the palace, Liao Tong couldn't disobey at all.

"Obey orders!"

He pulled out the talisman.

The chamberlain took it and handed it to King Zhao.

Zhao Xie wrote the edict on the spot about replacing the guards of the capital, handed over the edict and the talisman to Li Zuoche, and then asked Li Zuoche to take Yang Fu and Liao Tong to the official office to read the edict in person and handle the handover.

The three of them left to run errands.

Zhao Xie ordered someone to summon Wei again.

The guards guarding the palace, although they were not directly appointed by Chen Yu, Yu Wei was more reliable.

After Yu Wei came to the palace, Zhao Xie issued an order to replace the original guard with Yu Wei. The soldiers who returned to Xiangguo from Jingcheng were transferred to increase the number of palace defenders from 800 to 1,600.

——————

The army guarding Xiangguo was divided into three shifts, and there were special military camps and government offices in the city.

Li Zuoche, Yang Fu, and Liao Tong came to the official office, and Li Zuoche gave the order to go down, and all the officers rushed here.

At the end of the day, the lobby of the official office was brightly lit, and Li Zuoche was waiting here.

After a while, all twenty-three generals arrived, and Qin Dong and Lu Tatar were among them.

Li Zuoche opened the edict and read it on the spot.

The generals present were all surprised.

After reading the edict, Li Zuoche awarded the talisman to Yang Fu in public, and the whole process did not make waves, if he dared to disobey the order, it would be a capital crime.

——————

In Chen Yu's mansion, Lu Tatar hurriedly came here and told him about the removal of the guards.

Chen Yu was taken aback, King Zhao used to obey him, and his relationship with King Zhao was quite harmonious, even after being removed from the position of general, Chen Yu never thought that King Zhao would specifically target him, but now he is attacking the people he promoted.

At this time, Chen Yu finally became dissatisfied with Zhao Xie, it was too late now, he must ask Zhao Xie for an understanding at tomorrow's court meeting.

——————

In the palace, Zhao Xie can finally rest after being busy with greenery.

He had a blissful evening in the gentle country.

The next morning, civil and military officials came to the palace one after another.

They found that it was different from before, the density of the palace guards had doubled compared to before, and even the palace guards had changed.

Although Chen Yu is not a general, he is still a minister, and officials greet him one after another. At this time, Chen Yu's face was very ugly.

At the entrance of the main hall, Yu Wei is here to verify everyone's identity and make sure that no one is carrying weapons.

In the dormitory, the palace maids were dressing King Zhao. To hold a court meeting, the most formal dress must be worn, and Zhao Xie put on a royal costume dominated by black fabrics and wore a crown on his head.

In the main hall of the royal palace, the officials stood according to their positions, with the military generals on the left and the civil officials on the right. Chen Yu stood at the forefront on the right, with Yang Bing, Cao Wan and other civil officials behind him; Li Zuo Station is at the forefront on the left, and there are Zhuo Zhongkai, Xu Chong, Meng Tong, Wen Shidi, Lu Tian, Gong Zhi and other generals behind him.

On the left side of the steps of the palace, Yushi stood here, and there was a desk next to him, on which there were pen, ink and bamboo slips, so that Yushi could record important events of the court meeting at any time.

During the Warring States Period, "Jun" was the highest title given to his courtiers by the king, and the status was equivalent to the "king" or "duke" of the emperor, such as "Wu Anjun" Bai Qi, "Shang Jun" Wei Ying, "Ma Fujun" Zhao Hao, the four princes of the Warring States Period, and so on. For example, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, has a status equivalent to that of the prince in a dynasty with an emperor.

Cheng Anjun Chen Yu and Guangwujun Li Zuoche had a respected status in the Zhao State, which was incomparable to other courtiers.

What happened yesterday, quite a few officials already knew that Chen Yu's face was not right, and the huge hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

After a short time, King Zhao, who was hanging a sword at his waist, entered through the side door, walked up the steps and sat down on the seat.

The officials bowed in unison.

"Meet my king!"

"All the ministers are flat!"

The officers got up in unison, then knelt down on the cushions next to them.

Chen Yu didn't sit down, he strode out of the queue and said to King Zhao in a questioning tone: "King, Liao Tong is not at fault, I don't know why you removed him for no reason?" ”

The words fell, and the hall was silent. In the past, Chen Yu's power was greater than that of King Zhao, King Zhao was weak, and Zhao Guo was almost up to Chen Yu, but now it is different, I don't know how King Zhao will react.

Zhao Xie showed displeasure, and said heavily: "The widow is the dignified King Zhao, do you need to ask for your consent before you make a decision?" ”

"You..." Chen Yu was used to the weak King Zhao before, but he didn't know that King Zhao suddenly became so tough. When he was still in the Jingcheng army, King Zhao only deprived him of the position of general, and did not conflict with him in other aspects.

This is the first time that the ministers have witnessed the confrontation between King Zhao and Chen Yu, and the country of Zhao is about to change.

Li Zuoche came out of the queue and said loudly: "The king, the minister wants to impeach Chen Yu." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers at the scene were shocked.
