Chapter 142: Ji Ji succeeds to the throne
The embroidered curtain moves, the brocade curtain opens, and the bees are busy around the butterflies; Silver candle torch, sandalwood, Zhu Ji hugging mandarin ducks; Sick and delicate, her voice trembled like a dream of Concubine Yang; Hurriedly, the roar is like an overlord raising his account. Although she has not been to the Three Gorges in this life, the goddess is cloudy and rainy, and she dreams of becoming a king.
The queen fell asleep peacefully, but it did not affect Zhao Yong's admiration for her stunning cheeks. Her eyelashes were thick and slender, trembling slightly, Zhao Yong stretched out his hand, gently wandering on her face, the high nose wings, the lips like cicada wings, and the flush after the afterglow on the crystal face. The neck is glowing with a slight soft light, the slightly undulating chest, jumping out of the constraints of the bedding, the snow-white towering mountains are exposed in the air, and the mysterious atmosphere wafting in the whole room seems to be mixed with the woman's body fragrance and the man's richness, which makes people intoxicated.
A night of madness, so that Zhao Yong, who had been out of the army for nearly a year, experienced a rare comfort, and the queen of yin was also extremely capable, the tactful moaning at the beginning, the bitter begging for mercy halfway, and the coquettish resentment when resting, not the ordinary little woman can match.
Sure enough, since ancient times, the country and the city have been alluring, and it is the most beautiful thing to mislead people. Zhao Yong smiled bitterly in his heart, of course he knew that what the Queen of Yin wanted was not overnight, but stability in the future. What she expects may be her youth and vigor, but what she cares about most is worry-free food and clothing.
Even Sima Xi, isn't this the purpose?
Day 2.
Le Yi, on behalf of Zhao Yong, announced the arrangements for Zhongshan one by one on the top of the main hall.
The original Zhongshan Kingdom was divided into two. All Zhongshan land on the north bank of the Hutuo River, including the land of Yan on the west bank of Yishui that was previously occupied, bordered by Yan State in the east, Yishui River Valley in the north, Hutuo River in the south, and Taihang Mountain in the east, were classified as Zhongshan County of Zhao State, and its south bank to the land was under the jurisdiction of Handan County of Zhao State. This move undoubtedly set up a buffer zone between Handan and Yan, which could minimize the pressure from Yan.
And the county guard, Zhao Yong naturally chose Sima Xi, this appointment is tacit, and it vaguely confirms that Sima Xi and Zhao Guo have long been colluded. However, Sima Xi's ability is indeed outstanding, if it is said that it is for the sake of stabilizing Zhongshan County, it may not be impossible.
The disposal of the descendants of the Zhongshan royal family is also worth scrutinizing. There is no objection to the fact that a concubine is mortal; Zhao Yong found another prince Shang in the Zhongshan royal family, established him as the Marquis of Zhongshan, and ordered him to live idle in Handan, and the rest of the royal family members were directly buried with him, and the side branches became slaves and were not pardoned in Tuntian on the border.
There is a person who is quite special, that is, the Queen of Yin, who was also able to accompany the Marquis of Zhongshan to live in Handan without accompanying the burial of the royal tomb, which makes many people quite puzzling. And Concubine Jiang was buried in the royal tomb with another concubine as the queen.
After dealing with the affairs of the royal family, the arrangement of Zhongshan's officials is very simple. According to Zhao Guo's arrangement of local administration, county guards, county supervisors and county lieutenants were established. The county guard is naturally Sima Xi, and the county lieutenant is the general Zhao Yuan under Pang Cong, as for the candidate for the county supervisor, Zhao Yong ordered to choose among the officials in Zhongshan and then make a decision. The rest of the officials, after the examination of their ability, can be retained for those who are outstanding, and the rest of the people are no longer appointed.
After this series of arrangements, Zhao Yong led the army to finally set off back to Handan after more than a month of lingering in Lingshou.
The annexation of Zhongshan by Zhao shook the world, and so far Zhao finally got rid of the ranks of second-rate princes and became a first-class vassal state that could compete with Qin, Qi, and Chu. Although this process has lasted for nearly ten years, no one can deny that Zhao State did not annex Zhongshan in this process, but through the annexation of Zhongshan, the army was reorganized, and the country was rich and the people were strong, which was the greatest benefit obtained by Zhao State.
In particular, the monarch who is in charge of this country is only thirty years old!
Zhao Yong rode on a horse and glanced back at Lingshou City, the renovated city wall seemed to indicate a new future, just like a prisoner car under the city, already like a concubine of the walking dead, waiting for him was a knife that finally fell at the Handan sacrifice ceremony. What awaits Zhongshan may be a stronger future.
Zhongshan is destroyed, who is the next opponent?
Zhao Yong's look back at Zhongshan is like Kuang Zhang at this moment, he is also looking back, it is the thistle capital that has made his reputation reach its peak, and now he has to say goodbye.
"General, most of our army has been assembled outside the city and can leave at any time."
"Hmm." Kuang Zhang rode on the horse, looking at the thistle not far away, still filled with gunsmoke, and his eyes narrowed into a line. "Although we lost a city, we kept most of the army, so we can be considered to have won and lost. It's just that the people of the Gongzi rank, when they get the thistle, they are afraid that they will show off their might. ”
"General, if our army can insist on staying in Jidu, maybe this time, it will break the Yan-Zhao coalition army. Why, do you insist on leaving Jidu and giving it to Gongzi? The deputy general has a prejudice against Kuang Zhang's approach, he feels that with the strength of the current Qi State, it is very easy to break the Yan and Zhao coalition forces, and it is not for the warriors to give it to others.
"I don't want to do that." Kuang Zhang calmed the mount under him, "When the people of the Song State heard that the Wei State and Korea were preparing to send troops to help the Qin State attack the Chu State, the Song Wangyan moved the idea of sending troops to the Wei State, and took the lead in withdrawing his army from the Yan State. ”
"On the king's side, although he was eager to occupy Yan State at the beginning, but now, the people of Yan Country are about to riot, and Song State has also withdrawn from Yan State, if Qi State insists on it, I am afraid that sooner or later the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people will be confessed here. Coupled with the battle of Qin and Chu, instead of struggling to support on the side of Yan State, it is better to occupy Pushui and threaten Daliang with a much better chance of victory. Kuang Zhang sighed. In the final analysis, the king began to regret sending troops to Yan Kingdom. After three years of hard work, in the end, Zhao Guo still had to be cheap. ”
"Alas!" The deputy general also sighed, indeed, thinking of the glorious resume of the fifty days of Yan extermination, the Qi State has now left Jidu, but it has to rely on stratagem to retreat, I have to say that it is a world of difference.
However, the king finally agreed to a certain plan, stuck to Linle and Fangcheng, and relied on the Great Wall on the water to confront Yan Guo, as long as Yan Guo could not restore the previous land, Qi State would be able to crush Yan State. If you want to retake the thistle capital, it is as easy as a finger. ”
"It's also gratifying that the king can figure out this section."
Kuang Zhang knew in his heart that in fact, Tian Bibi was unwilling in his heart, but he had previously supported him to insist on occupying Yan and Yan Zhao to fight against Tian Ji, and died not long ago, and Su Qin was in the same mind as himself, through Su Qin's persuasion, Tian Bibi reluctantly agreed to this section, and these details are not enough for outsiders to arrive.
Gongzi looked at the towering city wall, and the two seal characters of "Thistle" were hanging there eye-catchingly, and a sense of pride really couldn't help but spew out. Since he left that year, he has been thinking about when he can come back here again, from Xinzheng to Handan, from Handan to Yidu, every stay is very close to here, and separated by infinite distance, and now, it is really back.
"Childe, it's time to go into the city." Su Dai looked at Gongzizhi in a daze with the word thistle, knowing his mood at the moment, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, into the city." Gongzi nodded and walked into the city, what he didn't expect was that the war had just ended, and the people of Jidu actually knelt down on both sides of the city gate to welcome him into the city. And it wasn't one or two, but as far as the eye could see, it went directly from the city gate to the gate of the king's city.
"The prince is looking forward to returning, and the people welcome this time, which shows that the revival of the Yan Kingdom is in sight after this battle." Sudai said in his ear.
Gongzi nodded, suddenly got off the horse, and walked towards the royal city while saluting to the surrounding people. This change was really unexpected, and Su Dai and the others also hurriedly dismounted when they saw this, not only to prevent someone from taking advantage of this to attack him, but also to support him to rush to the royal city.
The people of Jidu saw that Gongzi had this move, and they were full of emotion. From the rebellion of Zi to the invasion of Qi State, Jidu and even Yan Kingdom have been in chaos for three years, and they have always lived in dire straits.
When Gongzi led everyone into the royal city, the surging mood was still not relieved, especially after entering the palace of the royal city, looking at the familiar scenery, every grass and tree, all as seen in the dream, how could he calm down?
"Meet Childe." The city was seen that the son's office had arrived, and he rushed to salute. The orchestra pit was the commander-in-chief of the battle, and the city was the vanguard, the first to enter the royal city.
"General, please." Gongzi is in a good mood, and it is rare for anyone to be happy, "I wonder if there are any remnants of Qi in this royal city?" ”
"This ......" The city was hesitant for a while, lowered his head and said: "Childe, don't worry, there is no Qi army in the city at the moment. ”
"That's good, it seems that the combat power of our army is still stronger than that of the Qi people." Childe said.
"This..."The city was licked his lips and looked around Gongzi, "The details of this battle, Rong Mou carefully explained to the king, at this time, it is better to ask Gongzi to enter the city first." ”
After two years of experience as a child, it can be seen that the city has something to say, so he no longer shirks, responds, and enters the main hall.
Above the main hall, in addition to the Yan and Zhao coalition forces, it turned out to be the main officials of the Yan Kingdom, as well as the Queen of Yan. Seeing that he was his biological mother, Gongzi ran two steps closer and said: "The child is not filial, and the father and mother are humiliated." I thought that I couldn't peep at this life, and I did my filial piety, but I couldn't imagine that I could see my biological mother here. ”
Queen Yan also had a sad face when she saw her son, whether it was the confinement of King Yan after the throne, or the loneliness after Ji Xu's death, this woman was full of indifference and bitterness, and now that she saw her son, she naturally had to have some bitterness overflowing.
At this time, I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Please Gongzi inherit the throne of King Yan, lead Qunlun, and eradicate the rebels!" ”
Only then did everyone react and echo it. At first, there was some rejection of the prince's position, but the city quilt had already walked in front of him and tried his best to plead his case, and even Queen Yan began to try to persuade him.
"Since this is the case, it is difficult for him to succeed to the throne. I hope to work with you to share the same hatred and hatred, work together, sweep away the rebellion, and drive away the Qi army! ”
"Obey your orders!"
