"General Zhao is young and promising, this time he turned back from Handan, presumably King Zhao must have been rewarded, otherwise, it is not enough to show the ability of the general."

In the camp tent of the Zhao army, Han Yang and Zhao Hao sat on their heads, and Pang Xuan and other generals knelt down in turn. The age of Korean generals is generally higher than that of Zhao Guo, so that most of the Korean generals present here are middle-aged generals with arrogant expressions. In fact, in other countries, the generals of Zhao are generally younger than other countries, which shows that the generals of Zhao are very young. However, young generals are prone to frizziness and rashness, which is also one of the drawbacks.

Therefore, Han Yang's eyes looking at Zhao Hao were both praiseful and prejudiced, and he looked at Zhao Hao's eyes like looking at his own juniors.

The old general laughed. Zhao Hao looked humble, and said with a smile: "The king summoned him, but he asked about the transfer of the army, as for the reward, if there is no war, how can he make war achievements?" As he spoke, he glanced at Han Yang again, "Perhaps, so-and-so's military exploits should also fall on the old general." ”

Han Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and chewed on Zhao Hao's meaning repeatedly.

The biggest piece of information in the past few days is the fact that Qin sent Wu Sui to Zhao State. Zhao also declared to the outside world that he supported Yingji to succeed to the throne of Qin, and the two families would be repaired again and would not use troops against each other.

As soon as this news came out, the princes from all walks of life showed different reactions. There was no change in the Qi and Chu states, and although the Wei and Yan states did not agree, they did not welcome them, and only the Wei states quietly increased their troops on the border in case of accidents. The biggest reaction was from South Korea.

After Han Wangcang heard that Qin State had sent the land of Wusui to Zhao State, he was furious, not only angrily reprimanded the Korean officials, but also scolded Zhao Yong in the air, threatening that even if Zhao State withdrew its troops, South Korea would fight Qin State to the end and never retreat.

King Han is very bold, and the ministers of South Korea don't think so. In particular, Zhao Guo achieved great success through reform, which greatly stimulated Han Wangcang, and he also made up his mind to use the reform policy of the previous Shen Bu Harm period to change the law. Concentrate power in their own hands, rectify the rule of officials, advocate power and art, and govern ministers with art; reclaim wasteland and reward farming; With the characteristics of Korea's well-developed handicraft industry and weapon production, the production of weapons was increased. At the same time, in order to punish Zhao Guo's treachery, the number of bows and crossbows and horses that had been agreed with Zhao Guo every year was modified, which made Zhao Yong very angry.

Shin's policy of reform was positive, at least at the time, injecting a success factor into Korea's strength. However, time has changed, and if all policies can be taken and sold, then it will be too child's play to change the law.

For example, the rectification of the rule of officials. During the time of Han Zhaohou, Korea was in a weakened state, and Shen Buxian proposed to use power to supervise and evaluate his subordinates. At that time, the three major families of the Han Xia clan, the Gongli and the Duan clan almost threatened the status of the Han king, and Han Zhaohou decisively eradicated the fiefs of the three major families and collected their wealth into his own treasury, thus striking at the powerful and strengthening the assessment of ordinary officials. And today's officials, not only have they experienced the tempering of the art of power and conspiracy, but they have already refined a pair of coping skills, how can a group of officials not be able to deal with a king of Han? What's more, there are now two largest families in South Korea, one is the Gongzhong family and the other is the Zhang family. The two almost monopolized the position of the prime minister in South Korea, and their power was very huge. Han Wangcang rectified the rule of officials, and the two families expressed support on the surface, but secretly dragged their feet.

It is because there is such a huge conflict of interests in South Korea itself, and at this time it has to compete with the Qin State. Not to mention that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Qin State has not yet "emaciated".

Zhao Hao said that his merits should also fall on himself, could it be that Zhao Guo intended to violate the agreement with Qin State and attack Qin State again?

The more Han Yang thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and he began to trick Zhao Hao's words between words, but Zhao Hao was vague and unwilling to confess, which made Han Yang a little itchy.

In the main hall, Han Yan's emotions became more and more excited, "Although the concubine is a woman, she shouldn't say much about government affairs. ”

Zhao Yong turned his back to Han Yan, his face was solemn, he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden for too long, but he didn't expect that Han Yan was still worried about this problem until now.

"However, South Korea is the mother country of concubines, and the monarch thinks that concubines naturally know that the two countries are at war, so will they sit idly by?"

Speaking of this, she got up with all her might, regardless of her thin clothes, grabbed Zhao Yong's hands behind her back, and cried heartbreakingly, "If the king insists on going to war with Korea, please kill the concubine first, and then go to war!" ”

The huge palace echoed with Han Yan's cry, and Zhao Yong didn't dare to look back, for fear of facing such a fragile Han Yan and his inner wavering self. He didn't blame Han Yan, he came from the future, and his feelings for his family and country were stronger than those of this era. It's just that as the monarch of Zhao State, if he doesn't have a hard heart, how can he let Zhao State exist? Now that he is ready to fly, he has to send it, no matter who comes to intercede, it is impossible for him to agree. But Han Yan behind him, his crying became more and more poignant, and he couldn't help but want to turn around and coax him first. But he heard Blessed calling him at the door of the great hall.

"You can rest for a while, and come when you go alone." Zhao Yong didn't look back at her, and walked out of the hall with a hard heart. After a while, the door of the main hall opened and closed, and a cold wind blew in.

Han Yan looked at the back of Zhao Yong leaving, and felt that the last bit of strength had been drained. She had no intention of making Zhao Yong angry, and she also knew that there would be a war between Korea and Zhao, but this war came so quickly that she was unprepared.

She once asked herself how she would handle herself if the two countries were to go to war. Now, the question was in front of her, and she still couldn't answer it.

"Your Majesty, isn't it more than ten years of affection, but you still haven't returned your iron heart?" Han Yan's color dimmed, her heart was like ashes, and she looked at the huge palace again by the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly remembered that day, this Kunde Hall had just been built, and she and Zhao Yong came to visit together, when Han Yan named this hall Kunde Palace, Zhao Yong shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, women have been virtuous, although Kun is superior. However, Lone feels that Kunde is the virtue of obedience, and women obey men in everything, which is naturally interesting, but if they have no opinions, they are like walking dead. ”。

Have you forgotten?

Han Yan felt that her body was so cold, she wanted to wrap the big on her body tightly, but she didn't know why her eyelids were so heavy, and she wanted to sleep. The strength of her whole body disappeared little by little, the scenery in front of her slowly turned black, and a voice in her head kept telling herself that she must not fall asleep, as if it would be difficult to wake up after sleeping. But why didn't your body obey the call?

Finally, her eyes went dark and she seemed to be asleep.

"The King." Fu was at the door of the Kunde Palace, and saw that Zhao Yong finally came out, but he didn't put on his clothes, and quickly took off his big coat and draped it on his body.

Zhao Yong waved his hand, and while walking forward, he asked the palace people to go in and serve Han Yan.

"What's so alarming?" He walked out of the corridor of the main hall and into the snowstorm. There was silence all around, and white snowflakes fell onto the road, forming a huge carpet between heaven and earth, blending with the black sky. He felt a little bored, not because of Han Yan's gaffe, but he did have a sullen feeling in his heart, but he didn't know who to talk to. I have to find a little comfort in this snowstorm.

"King" Fu followed behind him, wanting to speak, but he was a little hesitant, and when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Zhao Yong frowned, looking at this eunuch who had served him for many years, "What happened?" ”

Fu seemed at a loss, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly fell to his knees, and said in a muffled voice: "King, old gentleman, the immortal has passed away." ”

Zhao Yong's expression suddenly froze, as if the world was cold, and he had been frozen in ice.

"Just now, Mr. Yu sent someone to enter the royal city with the king's token, and he had to meet the king." Fu knelt on the ground, looking nervous, he knew the status of the Crane Guanzi in Zhao Yong's heart, lest Zhao Yong hear the news of his death, and sprinkled the fire on himself in a fit of anger, "The old slave wants to report to the king, but just now there was a voice of pain from the lady in the Kunde Palace, and the old slave was afraid of disturbing the king, so he was"

"Hurry up and prepare the car, I want to go out of the city!" Saying that he didn't want to think about it, he was about to leave, he was going to go out of the city, he wanted to be able to see the last side of the crane crown, and he had to see him for the last time.

Zhao Yong panicked and almost fell, Fu only followed behind, worrying about Zhao Yong's injury, while directing the eunuchs behind him to hurry to prepare the car. However, the road was slippery on a snowy day, just walking down the high platform of the Kunde Palace, Zhao Yong fell seven or eight times, and under the despair, he had no usual majesty at all, and he only hoped that time could be slowed down and let the old man wait for him.

Just after he got off the high platform, there was a huge frightened sound from the Kunde Palace, and everyone was stunned again, Zhao Yong suddenly felt a trace of unease, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw three palace people stumbling towards them, Zhao Yong looked at them without manners, and the feeling of uneasiness was heavy again.

The three palace people knelt on the ground with a crying voice, far away from Zhao Yong, and said loudly: "King Qiyu, the queen has passed away!" ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, his feet seemed to be unable to hear the call, and he also knelt on the ground with a thud, and the cold snowflakes hit his face, as if he was laughing and comforting. He seemed to see Han Yan's smiling face with rain, flickering like a star in the sky, but this night was really dark.
