"It's true!" The envoy of the Qin State said in an affirmative tone, "As long as the king is willing to support the king of my family to succeed to the throne of the king of Qin, the state of Qin is willing to send the land of Wusui to the state of Zhao." ”

"Wusui is an important town in South Korea, and it is also an important throat of the Taihang Ancient Road. The Qin State abolished the strength of the two tigers, so that it could take advantage of the defeat of the Korean army in Yiyang to take Wusui. Is King Qin really willing to hand over this choke point to Zhao State? Le Yi looked at the envoy of the Qin State, trying to see the clue in the eyes of the envoy named Shang.

"When Shang came from Xianyang, the king once told the officials. Zhao is the country of ten thousand times, and the king of Zhao is also the hero of the world, when he lived in Handan, he was valued by the king of Zhao and did not suffer some trouble. The king once vowed to repay the kindness of King Zhao. "It doesn't seem to be a fake.

"Although Wusui is an important town in Korea, it is now an important place in our Qin country. However, the road is rugged and Bingfeng is too far away, if you are here, you will inevitably be missed by the Koreans. Therefore, it is better to give it to Zhao Guo, one as a thank you gift for King Zhao's multi-day hospitality, and the other is also to complete the friendship between the two countries. Killing two birds with one stone is natural. ”

Zhao Yong and Le Yi glanced at each other, the latter shook his head slightly, and then glanced at Wei Yi beside him.

"In the past, Yan Zi, the secretary of Qi, used two peaches to kill three generals. And now the Qin State has kept saying that it has been friends with the Zhao State for generations, but he threw this hot potato to the Zhao State, making the Zhao State fall into an unknown place. This strategy is not so clever. ”

Wei Yi's words with a gun and a stick made the envoy of the Qin State change his face, and he quickly responded: "Sir's words are a bit abrupt. The reason why the king wanted to send the land of Wusui to the Zhao State was to take care of the meaning at that time, and he even asked the king of Zhao, since he had a request, how could he dare to be so conspiracy. In fact, it is because the land of Wusui is the place where the pass is throated, and it is also extremely important to my Qin country. I, the Qin State, sent this land to the Zhao State, what else does the Zhao State dare not take? ”

"As for the resistance of South Korea, the relationship between Zhao and South Korea can naturally be easily resolved." Shang said in high spirits: "What's more, now only the world, with the venerable king, but Zhao Wang, the rest of the countries, but the clown, what are you afraid of?" ”

As soon as Shang's words came out, the hall was in an uproar, as a messenger, Shang naturally did not dare to speak wildly, it must be the meaning of the real power of Qin before the first envoy of Zhao State. It can also be said that this is the Qin State's disguised recognition of the strength of the Zhao State, which has far surpassed the Qin State.

Zhao Yonggang wanted to say something humble, but Xi hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, walked quickly to Zhao Yong's side, and whispered a few words beside him. When Zhao Yong heard that Han Yan vomited blood and fainted, he immediately stopped the meeting and asked Zhao Cheng and the others to arrange Shang's accommodation, while he ran to the harem.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Yong asked the eunuchs around him while running, in fact, his feelings for Han Yan were very deep at the beginning, after all, she was his first wife, although she was weak, but fortunately, she was self-denying and never interfered too much with herself, and the harem was also well organized, even if it was a little unruly, it was also a matter of common sense.

It's just that in the past two years, Zhao Yong has been implementing the strategy of plotting the Three Jin Dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally, provoking contradictions between South Korea and other countries, and even Wei is also calculating, so every time he sees Han Yan, he always feels a little guilty.

This kind of relationship is also different from Han Qian, although Han Qian is also a Korean princess, she is innocent and innocent, and she is indeed indisputable, which is why she is favored. It's just that when he heard that Han Yan was seriously ill and vomited blood, the love of husband and wife woke him up again.

The eunuchs around him hurriedly told Zhao Yong what had just happened, Zhao Yong heard that it was Meng Yao who told Han Yan that he was meeting with the envoy of Qin, Han Yan probably thought that now that Qin and Han were at war, Qin came to visit Zhao at this moment, and it must have been to let Zhao withdraw his troops. If this is the case, then South Korea must have fallen into isolation, and it was a moment of impatience that caused a serious illness.

Running outside Han Yan's dormitory, Zhao Yong saw Meng Yao kneeling outside the main hall and didn't dare to leave. Seeing Zhao Yong coming in a hurry, he raised his head and glanced at it, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yong for his guilt. Zhao Yong was already angry, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and scolded: "If the queen has a mistake, the widow will let your whole family be buried!" And he took three steps and made two steps, and entered the main hall.

It's cold!

Meng Yao looked at the back of Zhao Yong leaving, and a heart-piercing coldness arose.

Before coming to visit Han Yan, her mother had not seen Meng Yao for many days, so she followed Wu Guang to the royal city, Wu Guang went to meet the envoy of Qin, and Meng Yao's mother came to the harem, inadvertently said that Qin had come to visit, and revealed that Qin intended to make peace with Zhao.

Meng Yao had just listened to it casually as a trivial matter, but after being humiliated by Han Yan just now, he suddenly said such a sentence. I didn't expect Han Yan to react so much, and I didn't expect Zhao Yong to say such cruel words.

Zhao Yong entered the main hall, saw Han Qian anxiously waiting aside, saw Zhao Yong coming, and hurriedly greeted her, Zhao Yong shook her hand, signaled that he was clear, and then looked at Bian Que, hoping to get good news from his mouth.

Bian Que stood up, saw Zhao Yong, saw his eager eyes, walked up to him silently, and said indifferently: "Terminally ill, there is no cure." ”

When Han Qian heard Bian Que say this, her tears couldn't be stopped anymore, and she tugged at Bian Que's sleeve with tears in her eyes, hoping that he could save Han Yan again. Only Zhao Yong walked to Han Yan's side blankly, took care of her sweat-soaked hair, touched her bloodless face, and all kinds of pasts between herself and Han Yan appeared in front of her one by one.

The queen was seriously ill, and the entire harem was immersed in a solemn state, and none of the concubines dared to say much, lest they make Zhao Yong unhappy. Originally, when Han Yan was seriously ill, Han Qian was in charge of the entire harem, but she was by Han Yan's side these days, and no one took care of the affairs of the harem, so she could only let Mi Ji and the two concubines negotiate and deal with it.

Mi Xi herself is still pregnant, and she is about to give birth to a child, and she feels powerless, but things have reached this point, and there is no way. In fact, at this time, the most suitable candidate is naturally Meng Yao, but after Zhao Yong angrily scolded her that day, she was asked to reflect in the dormitory and wait for the fate, so that she could only come out to preside over the overall situation.

After Le Yi and the others knew that Han Yan was seriously ill, presumably Zhao Yong also had no intention of government affairs, but how to deal with the affairs of the Qin State still needed a charter, and the people of the White Tiger Hall could only bite the bullet and come to ask.

"The widow thinks twice." Zhao Yong looked at everyone a little tiredly: "I plan to agree to the affairs of the Qin State." ”

Le Yi and Wei Yi were not surprised when they arrived, obviously they knew Zhao Yong too well. Zhao Cheng came out and said: "In this way, I am afraid that I will offend South Korea." With the extravagant character of King Han and Gong Zhong, he will definitely fall out with Zhao Guo, and when the time comes, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Cheng's words made everyone nod their heads and say yes, if Qin State does not set a trap, it will make Korea and Zhao State closer. If Zhao Guo takes Wu Sui, I am afraid that South Korea will turn against Zhao Guo on the second day.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhao Yong waved his hand, all of which lost his previous heroism, "Whether it is South Korea or Wei State, although they have always been eye-to-eye with us, they have been at odds with each other, and they have not been one with us." Such an ally is too dangerous for us. On the contrary, the widow felt that only by showing favor to the Qin State, stabilizing the great enemy in the west, and wrestling with our two neighbors could we stabilize our rear. ”

There is another reason that he does not want to admit, but he has to say. Zhao Guo's reform has now fallen into a stalemate, and if he does not transfer the pressure, he may even be in danger himself.

This is the first time that Zhao Yong has made it clear that he wants to make a move on Han Wei, and everyone is also surprised.

"In this way, the garrison of our Zhao State in South Korea must be evacuated as soon as possible, otherwise once Han Zhao turns his face, they are in danger of overturning."

"Yes, Zhao Zheng's army is okay, it would be good to evacuate directly from Korea, but in Yewang's garrison... Do you want to evacuate too? ”

As soon as Zhao Yong was about to answer, he heard Le Yi come out and say: "It's better not to evacuate, if you can take the opportunity to occupy it, wouldn't it be wonderful?" ”

"Yushi laughed." Zhao Cheng said, "With Zhao Hao's soldiers and horses in the wild king, it is impossible to take the wild king, let alone take the wild king several times, with the speed of the Korean army, it is completely possible to recapture the wild king before they consolidate their defense, so it takes time and energy, but it only increases the wounded soldiers." ”

Everyone nodded, only Le Yi and Wei Yi smiled and said nothing, Zhao Yong thought about it, and said slowly: "False Dao Defeat." ”

In a word, the four seats are clear.

The big thing has been decided, Zhao Yong asked everyone to leave, except Wu Guang.

Wu Guang has known what happened since Meng Yao was punished, and has been trying to avoid Zhao Yong for the past few days. It's just that today is a collective visit to the White Tiger Palace, and it involves the military, so he can't come if he doesn't come, so he can only come hard. At first, I thought that Zhao Yong would no longer punish himself, but he didn't expect to let himself flow down when he turned his head.

Zhao Yong looked at Wu Guang, who was kneeling there trembling, and sighed, "The things in the palace, presumably Qing has already understood." ”

"It's... Yes..., the little girl's mouth is in trouble, the crime cannot be punished, how the king will punish him, he doesn't dare to say much. When Wu Guang said this, he choked up: "However, please read the king in the son He Shang Chongling, the pain of losing his mother is beyond his bearing, open the net and spare her death." ”

Wu Guang didn't mention Zhao He, but when he mentioned Zhao He, Zhao Yong was even more angry. "If you read that Zhao He has the pain of losing his mother, don't you ask Zhang Er's pain of losing his mother? Why are the hearts of your fathers and daughters so vicious! ”

Zhao Yong's questioning made Wu Guangwen speechless, and he could only ask for mercy again and again, slapping his mouth, trying to exchange Zhao Yong's sympathy, but Zhao Yong just looked at it coldly and did not let the other party stop at all.

There was about half a pillar of incense before Zhao Yong asked him to stop, "Although this matter started because of Meng Yao, you are discussing state affairs at home is the biggest reason." If this matter is not pursued, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. He paused slightly, "But remembering that you have worked hard in Zhao Country for many years, and assisted the widow for a long time, it is to no longer punish more, and today's thing is a lesson." If you commit it again, you will not be spared! ”

Wu Guang hurriedly thanked Zhao Yong, walked out of the hall, and looked back at the dragon platform behind him in despair, frightened and a little resentful. Especially the palace people and eunuchs around him, seeing him like this, although his face was respectful, but in private, he should have laughed a long time ago.

How heavy is today's humiliation!

Unable to stand everyone's gaze, he covered his face with his big sleeves and walked towards the outside of the palace.

And under the dragon platform, a figure looked at him in the distance, and said to himself in a faint tone: "Zhao Yong, this is your own grave, it's not that the old man is ruthless." ”
