Walking out of the main hall, Zhao Cheng glanced back at the tall and majestic palace gate, suppressed the fierceness in his eyes, and turned around and walked outside the royal city.

The palace people and eunuchs who came and went kept saluting him, and everyone remembered the awe of this person vividly. Not to mention that before Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, he had managed political affairs on his behalf, and he didn't even have to pass in and out of the royal city; Let's just say that in recent days, urging the prince to study has also been strict and tight, without any mercy. As long as the prince is having fun, both the prince and the people around him will be punished. That alone is enough to make people scared of three points.

Zhao Cheng made a straight face and walked all the way to Zhao Zhang's palace. As soon as he walked to the door, he found that the two eunuchs who saw him looked wrong, and after saluting him, he hurriedly ran to the palace. Zhao Cheng didn't care, and still walked in slowly. Turning the screen, I saw Zhao Zhang wearing a beard that he hadn't had time to take off, with a sweaty face, pretending to look at the book in his hand, and then at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng walked up to Zhao Zhang, looked at the prince who was already ugly, and picked up the ring ruler next to him. Zhao Zhang knew that his luck had failed, but he didn't make an excuse and stretched out his hand. In the hall, the sound of the ring ruler kissing the palm of the hand sounded. Even the eunuchs who served outside were terrified.

"Know it's wrong?"

"Yes."

"As a prince, it's really unruly to have fun." Zhao Cheng said sternly, "Although my Zhao State attaches great importance to martial arts, the king has said many times that civil and military forces should not be abandoned. And etiquette and religion are the foundation of the country, and it is also the way for monarchs and ministers to get along. If the prince can't study well, I'm afraid that the king's side will also complain that the restraints are not strict. At that time, the old man can naturally accept the king's fall, but the prince is afraid that it will not be as simple as being punished. ”

Zhao Zhang nodded his head, but he was a little disapproving. In his eyes, Zhao Cheng's words were a little alarmist, could it be that in the entire Zhao Kingdom, except for Zhao Yong, who would dare to offend himself?

"The prince doesn't think that the old man talks too much." Zhao Cheng said coldly, "The king is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Zhao State is under the governance of the king, and the national strength has risen sharply, and it has the tendency to keep pace with Qin and Qi, which is a hundred years of prosperity." It is believed that in a few years, Zhao will become the only prince in the sea. From this point of view, if the prince is just a martial artist, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. To put it mildly, I'm afraid the position of the crown prince is not very secure. ”

Zhao Cheng said this, Zhao Zhang is a fool, and he knows what to do. Hurry up and confess to Zhao Cheng, and you will repent well in the future and never do it again.

"At today's court meeting, the king has decided to ask for marriage in Korea on behalf of the crown prince. The old man is the main thing. Please make sure the prince takes this seriously, don't be playful and willful. I think that back then, the king was already at the age of the prince, and he had no choice in politics, and the prince had to study hard. ”

"Thank you for the teaching."

"Prince, the horse is already hidden, you can go play at any time."

Not long after Zhao Cheng left, the little eunuch who was covering for Zhao Zhang slipped over and whispered to Zhao Zhang.

"Hide it first. Take care of it and go back when you have time. Zhao Zhang said, he knew that today is Zhao Cheng, and tomorrow it will be Feiyi to teach himself, these two are extremely strict gentlemen, and he will not dare to offend easily. As long as their words flow to Zhao Yong's ears, Zhao Yong will punish himself if he doesn't say a word, and he can't afford to offend.

"By the way, who is the man who sacrificed the horse?"

"Back to the prince, that person's name is Tian Buli."

Just when Zhao was ready to send troops, the envoys of Qin had already arrived in Handan.

This was the first time Zhao Yong had seen Bai Qi, and he had always been interested in this killing god. Now that I see a real person, my heartbeat can't help but speed up a little.

"Qin envoys Wei Ran and Bai Qi, see the king." Wei Ran and Bai Qi saluted to Zhao Yong above the main hall, the fact is that the two of them have also heard some of Zhao Yong's deeds, and they still have a good impression of this king.

"Two of you, please." Zhao Yong said, "The two of them came from afar, and the secretary of the country has also seen it." ”

"That's... This matter..."Wei Ran Gujing had no waves, but his heart fluctuated.

Since that day, Bai Qi took Gan Mao's secret order to meet Zhu Liji, who controlled the military and political power of Xianyang, and lived in a simple place, but the entire Xianyang fell into tension, and the seemingly calm air revealed a somewhat murderous atmosphere. This is quite unusual in the eyes of those who care. However, no one would have thought that Qin Wangdang had died on the Yiyang front. The only people in the entire Qin State who knew about this matter were Zhu Liji, Gan Mao, Bai Qi and a few medical officials.

Not long ago, Wei Ran found him, told him about it, and secretly ordered himself and Bai Qi to go to Zhao to welcome his nephew Yingji back to Xianyang to succeed him.

"You must remember that this matter must not be revealed, otherwise, the consequences will be so serious that I am afraid you and I can't imagine it." He hugged his hand and said solemnly.

How serious? Wei Ran understands very well that Qin Wangdang has no children, Yingji is just one of his many brothers, and the reason why he can be favored by Qin Wangdang and succeed to the throne is either because Gan Mao faked his will, or Qin Wangdang trusted this younger brother very much.

Why did Wei Ran think that Gan Mao was a fake bereavement? In fact, although Qin Wangdang has no heirs, he still has many brothers, and Gongziji is just the most inconspicuous of many brothers. If the most powerful heir to the throne is to win his own siblings, not Yingji. Ying Zhuang is not only the descendant of Queen Qin, but also the brother of Qin Wangdang, and is quite similar to Yingdang in many aspects, but in the end, it is not he who inherits the throne, so whoever guesses feels that there are many doubts.

However, since neither Liji nor Gan Mao have any opinions, his uncle will naturally not object, but... Can Yingji really sit firmly on the throne of the King of Qin? Will Zhao Guo really send Yingji back?

The day before.

"Qin Wangdang really collapsed." Zhao Yong shook his head, "It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, I would leave Gongzi Ji to succeed to the throne." I can't guess. ”

"This is definitely not Qin Wangdang's last life." The lieutenant said categorically, as if he had experienced it himself.

"The lieutenant is cautious." Wu Guang hurriedly stopped, "This letter of state is stamped with the seal of King Qin, but it can't be faked." Unless there is sufficient evidence, who can prove that this is a false message? ”

The lieutenant smiled slyly, "Who can prove that this is true?" ”

Zhao Yong's expression changed, "What does the national lieutenant mean..."

The lieutenant twisted the letter of state, and said unintentionally, "According to our report, the Qin army only set off from Yiyang ten days ago, and according to their speed, it is absolutely impossible to reach Xianyang so quickly, and it will take about a month to reach my Handan from Xianyang. The lieutenant analyzed, "This means that at least a month ago, King Qin had already collapsed, and at that time, there was only Gan Mao by his side!" ”

The crowd followed the captain's words and fell into deep thought.

This shows that at least Gan Mao and Zhu Liji, in order to stabilize the situation, did not immediately spread the news of the death of King Qin. If it is not bad as expected, its purpose is the same as ours, that is, to worry about whether Gongziji can afford the throne of the King of Qin. ”

Speaking of which, this Qin Wang Dang is young, although he is married, but he has no heirs, only a few brothers, among which Gongzi Zhuang is his sibling brother, and he is also the heir of the queen of Qin Huiwen, and he is also quite similar to Qin Wangdang. It's just that for some reason, Qin Wangdang didn't pass the throne to his younger brother, but to this Gongziji? "Zhao Bao is very familiar with the allusions of various countries, which is incomparable to others.

"It's a guess." Zhao Yong was so happy to watch his ministers analyze every word, and he couldn't help but interject. "Judging from the information we have, although Qin Wangdang is brave, he is not without scheming. At the beginning of his succession, he knew that he would divide the post of Xiangbang into two people, the left minister and the right minister, to balance the forces of both sides, so that he could control them. ”

At the same time, he not only reused Gan Mao and other non-Qin people to improve his strength to resist the influence exerted on him by the Qin princes such as Zhu Liji, but also controlled the degree of this. In this regard, Qin Wangdang is not a martial artist. ”

"The reason why I chose Yingji instead of Yingzhuang is because of the advantages of Yingzhuang, and it is also the biggest disadvantage of Yingzhuang's succession."

Of all the people present, only Le Yi understood what Zhao Yong meant, but the rest of them fell into deep thought, not knowing what Zhao Yong meant. "Why is the advantage of winning strong and the disadvantage of his inability to succeed to the throne?" Wu Guang clearly falls into the latter category.

"It is said that the two are very similar, and since they are similar, they are not the same. From the point of view of the widows, there is more than enough to win strong and brave, but not enough to make decisions. With his character, I am afraid that he has made achievements in military affairs, and he is not the best choice for governing the country and herdsmen. ”

This is probably the reason why Yingdang didn't choose him. With the current national strength of the Qin State, the monarch of the Qin State does not necessarily need to be a brave man, but he must be a potential king. At this point, Yingji is more suitable than Yingdang. ”

Everyone nodded, Zhao Yong's analysis was indeed very reasonable. Zhao Yong himself is also very satisfied, which at least shows that he is constantly moving towards a qualified monarch.

"Isn't he worried that Gan Mao will disobey his will?"

"Gongzi Zhuang is the head of the Qin State, and he has a certain connection, and Gan Mao flatters him at this time, which is just the icing on the cake. As a left-hand minister, he may be replaced by a strong son; Gongzi Ji has no foundation, and if he goes to work at this time, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Which is more important, Gan Mao is still very clear. Zhao Yong continued.

"There's another point, and that's the disease." Le Yi said, "If Liji opposes Gan Mao, Gan Mao will still be fine." And now that the state of Qin has been issued, it means that the two have reached a consensus....."

"What's so troublesome?" The lieutenant said with a smile, "Qin Wangdang's last order is definitely not to let Gongziji serve as the king of Qin. Only in this way can we support other princes who covet the throne of King Qin. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this gentleman had this idea.

"In addition to Gongzi Zhuang, Gongzi Fu also seems to be able to win over." As the intelligence chief officer of Zhao State, Le Yi put forward his own suggestions.

"Gongzi Fu? Childe's younger brother? Zhao Bao looked at Le Yi and didn't know what the other party meant.

"As far as we know, in Mi Bazi, Gongzi Fu is more loved than Gongzi Ji." Le Yi said.

"No problem." Zhao Yong said, "A chaotic Qin State can reduce the pressure on us when we occupy Wangji, and at the same time, we can also free up our hands to deal with Wei and Korea." ”

"Then how to reply to the envoy of the Qin State?" Wu Guang looked at Zhao Yong.

"The states of Qin and Zhao have been friendly neighbors for generations, and they have a deep relationship. Since it is related to the great cause of the Qin State, the widow naturally can't do that thing. I just hope that after Gongziji returns to China, the two countries can get along from generation to generation. Zhao Yong looked at Bai Qi and Wei Ran with a smile on his face.
