After a while, Meng Zhong and the others followed Master Zhao to the main hall of the main hall, only to see that in the spacious hall, many desks and cushions had been neatly placed, and these seats were also full of people.

A rough count shows that there are as many as two or three hundred seats.

And in the deepest part of the hall, there are two seats standing side by side, one is sitting Zhao Wanghe, and the other is empty, obviously the seat of Zhao's father.

"This, so many people?"

Glancing at the hall and seeing that the hall was full of Zhao Guo's courtiers, Meng Hu swallowed his saliva and couldn't help muttering.

Even if his personality is straight, he knows that the people sitting in the hall at this moment are all courtiers of Zhao State, and his status is higher than him.

"Fear?"

Master Zhao turned back to Meng Hu and asked.

As if feeling looked down upon, Meng Hu stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

"That's good."

Master Zhao smiled slightly, and immediately said to Meng Zhong: "Later, you can sit behind Zhao Zhang." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Is this appropriate?" ”

Indeed, Meng Zhong and his party are the guards of Lord Zhao's father, and if they rashly sit in the circle of their son Zhao Zhang, they will inevitably be doubted.

"It's quite thoughtful."

Master Zhao laughed and said to Meng Zhong, "You can also continue to follow me." The advantage is that it won't attract attention, and the disadvantage is that there are no seats, so you can figure it out for yourself. ”

"Concern? Do you mean that those in the temple at this moment will first know me?'

Meng Zhong secretly guessed.

At this time, Master Zhao's father had already stepped into the hall.

"Master Father has arrived."

In the singing of the guards outside the hall, Master Zhao stepped into the hall.

In an instant, the hall, which was originally quite noisy, suddenly became silent, and different eyes invariably fell on Master Zhao's father, as well as Meng Zhong and his guards behind him.

I have to say that being stared at by about two or three hundred courtiers of Zhao State, not to mention Meng Sui, Meng Hu and others, even Meng Zhong and Le Yi, who are the most urban in the crowd, have a faint feeling of being sharp, and even the pace of moving forward is not as confident as usual.

"Master Father."

Led by Zhao Wang He, the four sons of Zhao's father all stood up.

Master Zhao's father has four sons, the eldest son is the son Zhao Zhang, the second son is Zhao Wang He, the third son "Zhao Sheng", and the fourth son "Zhao Bao" - according to Meng Zhong's eyes, Zhao Sheng is about twelve or three years old, and Zhao Bao is barely about ten years old.

At this time, the courtiers of Zhao State, such as Feiyi, Zhao Cheng, and Li Dui, also stood up one after another and bowed to Zhao's father.

Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Master Zhao's face was not different, and Shi Shiran sat on the desk on the left hand side of Zhao Wanghe, which was also the most honorable seat in this hall.

Immediately, he glanced at Zhao Wanghe, and then spread out his hands and gestured, "Zhuqing, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you! ”

After thanking them in unison, the ministers of Zhao State in the hall sat down one after another.

At this time, Master Zhao turned his head and whispered to Meng Zhong and the others: "Go, find a place to sit by yourself." ”

"Didn't you let me choose?"

Meng Zhong looked at Master Zhao with some consternation, but vaguely saw a little narrowness on the latter's face.

Obviously, Master Zhao's father did it on purpose.

No, although Master Zhao just whispered casually, even so, dozens of pairs of eyes immediately looked at Meng Zhong and his party, and there was all kinds of confusion in these eyes.

"These young guards of the master father seem to be quite face-to-face."

In the seat on the right side of the main hall, Fengyang Jun Li Dui whispered to Zhao Cheng, but unfortunately Zhao Cheng didn't know the details of Meng Zhong and the others, and shook his head with a puzzled face.

He wondered, how qualified were a few guards, even if they were Lord Zhao's father's guards, to sit on such an occasion?

Only Zhao Xiangfeiyi knew the details of Meng Zhong, and whispered to Li Dui and Zhao Cheng: "This son is called Meng Zhong, a disciple of the sage Zhuangzi of the Song Kingdom, and also the righteous brother of Hui An, an important minister around Song Wangyan. ”

Hearing this, Li Dui and Zhao Cheng raised their eyebrows and looked at Meng Zhong in the distance with solemn eyes.

I have to say that the two titles of "Zhuangzi Disciple" and "Hui Ang Yi Brother" are enough for Zhao Guo to treat the kid named Meng Zhong as a guest.

At this time, Meng Zhongzheng muttered to himself and walked towards the side of Gongzi Zhao Zhang.

Seeing this, Gongzi Zhao Zhang was also stunned, after all, he didn't think about "exposing" Meng Zhong, the "internal response" around Master Zhao's father, right now.

Of course, he doesn't mind being stunned, after all, his character is not suitable for any conspiracy, and if it is exposed, it will be exposed, and he doesn't care.

However, Tian Buyu, who was sitting under him, glanced at Master Zhao thoughtfully, pondering the reason why Master Zhao deliberately made Meng Zhong and others "attract attention".

While he was thinking, Meng Zhong had already walked up to him, clasped his fists and said, "Doctor Tian, do you mind ......?"

Of course, Tian Buyu understood what Meng Zhong meant, smiled and nodded, and motioned for Meng Zhong to sit beside him, as for Meng Sui, Meng Hu and others, they went to the seat behind him to sit - in the seats behind Gongzizhang and him, all the people sitting were Zhao generals from Gongzizhang's faction, and they were their own people, and those Zhao generals naturally wouldn't mind sitting with Meng Zhong and others.

After Meng Zhong sat down, Tian Buyu said to Meng Zhong quietly: "After today, I am afraid that your name will spread all over the nobles of Handan......

Meng Zhong secretly smiled bitterly.

He was also very helpless, he had clearly said that he would choose it himself, but Master Zhao suddenly gave him a surprise, so that at this moment, almost half of the people in the hall were staring at him, or watching him talk in private.

For example, the three introduced by Tian Buyu before, Zhao Xiangfeiyi, Fengyangjun Li Dui, and Zhao Cheng, the uncle of Lord Zhao, all looked at him intently at the moment.

Even, even Zhao Wanghe, who was beside Master Zhao's father, was looking at him with amazement at the moment.

Thanks to Lord Zhao's father, Meng Zhong is now "famous", and these Zhao ministers who want to come to the palace have basically remembered his appearance.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at Meng Zhong and the others, so that the musicians, music girls, and palace maids serving food were all afraid of the strange atmosphere in the hall at the moment and did not dare to disturb it, Master Zhao coughed.

Suddenly, the strange atmosphere in the hall immediately dissolved, and immediately, the musicians played the bells and drums, and the group of graceful musicians also quickly appeared and danced.

Accompanied by their dance, a famous palace served drinks and dishes.

Everything returned to calm, as if the fragment had not happened.

After a while, the melodious music gradually stopped, and the music girls also left in turn, at this time, I saw the father of Zhao standing up with a wine bottle full of wine, looking at the ministers of Zhao State present, and said in a deep voice: "Since the beginning of Zhao Xianhou, in the end of my son's generation, exhausted the strength of the eighth Zhao Jun, my Zhao country, finally fell to Zhongshan, and will never be disturbed by Zhongshan again!" …… Respect the ancestors, respect the Zhao country! ”

Hearing this, all the ministers of Zhao in the palace picked up the wine bottles, whether it was the father of Zhao, the son of Zhang, or the king of Zhao, everyone was full of excitement.

After all, for him Zhao State, Zhongshan State is indeed a hidden danger that has plagued the eight generations of Zhao Jun, and its threat is even greater than the invasion of foreign races such as Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and Lou Fu.

And now, he Zhao State finally collapsed Zhongshan State and annexed its territory into the territory of Zhao State, which means that he Zhao State can annex foreign countries without any worries, develop national strength, catch up with and surpass Qin and Qi, and then become the overlord of the Central Plains like the former Jin State.

"To the ancestors! To Zhao Guo! ”

Two or three hundred Zhao ministers in the hall responded in unison, raised the wine bottle in their hands, and drank it all.

Meng Zhong watched this scene carefully, and he felt that the atmosphere of the Zhao people in the hall at this moment was extremely "united", and it might be like the unity of the Zhao State thirty years ago.

It's a pity that this "unity" is only temporary, and after the enthusiasm instigated by Master Zhao's father gradually subsides, the atmosphere in the hall will inevitably become weird again-Meng Zhong looked at these Zhao Chens carefully, and he found that although these Zhao Chens had smiles on their faces, some of them, their eyes flashed with vigilance and the slightest hostility.

After Lord Zhao's father toasted himself for three rounds of wine, he put down the wine bottle, and seeing this, the Zhao ministers in the hall also put down the wine bottle, chopsticks, etc.

Everyone realized that the "main show" of today's feast was coming.

Sure enough, after glancing around at the ministers in the palace, Lord Zhao said with a smile: "This time the fall of Zhongshan is a grand event for my Zhao country, it is better to take advantage of the festivities and canonize the meritorious ministers...... After that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Wang He and asked, "What do I think?" ”

I have to say that Zhao Wang He is much inferior to Master Zhao, so that when he was asked by Master Zhao on this occasion, he was shocked and subconsciously said: "First, everything depends on the master father. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Xiangfeiyi frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

At this time, Master Zhao's father quickly took over the conversation: "Okay, since my son has no objection, then reward the meritorious person first." …… Zhao Zhang. ”

Hearing his name, Gongzizhang could not hide the joy in his heart, and hurriedly left his seat and came to the hall to worship: "The son is here." ”

I saw Master Zhao glance around at the ministers in the palace, and said with a smile: "My son Zhao Zhang, when he was fifteen years old, followed me to attack Zhongshan, after five battles, captured several cities in Zhongshan, and twice invaded Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, it can be said that he is not brave!" …… There are still alien rebellions on the border of the county today, and I intend to canonize my son Zhao Zhang as the "acting king", I don't know what the king and the princes want? As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Wang He and the Zhao ministers present.

"Generation...... King?'

Zhao Wanghe was obviously stunned.

And Zhao Chen, who was present in the hall, also buzzed and talked like boiling water.

As for Zhao Zhang, who was the party concerned, he was actually stunned this time, thinking that even he didn't expect that Lord Zhao's father was ready to grant him the title of "acting king".

However, at this moment, I saw Zhao Xiangfeiyi stand up and say with a slight anger on his face: "Master, this matter must not be done!" ”

Suddenly, the hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Master Zhao and Zhao Xiangfeiyi.
