The new Junyong wore filial piety clothes and summoned ministers of more than 500 stones to hold a court meeting in the Zhao Palace. This court meeting was the largest court meeting held since he succeeded to the throne. Han Zhong took a step forward and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, from now on, Handan County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County and Dai County will enter a state of tightness, and the territory of Zhao State will be under full martial law. ”

As soon as Han Zhong's words fell, the ministers of Zhao State made different voices. Some people think that the king has finally woken up. How could Wei and Zhao coexist peacefully, the king should have issued a strong order a long time ago. Otherwise, the vassal states really thought that after Zhao Houyu went, there would be no one in Zhao State, and he would be weak and bullied. Some people heard this, and their faces showed fear. They all said that the king was possessed by an evil spirit to make a stupid decision. The whole territory of Zhao was under martial law, and entering war readiness was equivalent to declaring war on the vassal states.

Zhao Yong sat silently, secretly observing the reactions of the ministers.

Zhao Jun, a disciple of the clan, was the first to hold his breath and retorted: "Monarch, don't! The imposition of martial law throughout our country will anger other vassal states. When the princes are angry, they will unite and raise an army against me. The princes are numerous, how do we deal with it. Others seconded the proposal.

When Zhao Bao heard this, his face was not good. It was because he supported the clan that Zhao Guo fell into a dilemma. Zhao treated Wei with gentleness, so he agreed to Wei Hou's request that 10,000 people come to the funeral. Who knew that the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Qin and Yan also asked for 10,000 people to come to the funeral. Knowing that tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the five countries would be buried, Zhao Bao couldn't sleep well these days. 50,000 soldiers from other countries came to Zhao to participate in the funeral, and it would not be convincing, they were with good intentions.

The funeral of the Five Kingdoms, if you are not careful, you will be in danger of destroying the country, and the heroes and martyrs of the Zhao family will no longer exist.

Zhao Jun and others saw that disaster was coming, but they still had a heart of compromise. Zhao Guoneng has today's difficult situation, and it is indispensable for such people to add fuel to the fire. Zhao Bao stood facing and let out a few sneers: "The enemy is about to come in." We are all big Zhao men, how can we stretch out our necks and let others slaughter them. ”

Zhao Jun flicked his long sleeves and asked with a fierce face: "What is the purpose of Xiangbang's words?" ”

In the face of national disasters, Zhao Bao is not showing weakness. With cold eyes, he glanced at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun felt a terrifying aura coming towards him. He asked? Is this person still a suave Xiangbang?

That look was terrifying.

Zhao Bao used a cold and piercing look to force Zhao Jun back. Zhao Jun is also interested, and he does not refute it. Zhao Bao didn't entangle with him, and looked around at the ministers, "The scout is here to report." The 10,000 men selected by the Wei State are all strong men, and they have the courage to fight one enemy and five bravely. At present, the Wei State is collecting grain and grass in the country, and the army is frequently mobilized, and there is a state of war. The same is true of Qi, Chu, Yan, Qin and other countries. ”

When Zhao Wen heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, and said coldly: "At the beginning, Xiangbang advocated treating the princes with softness, but now that he has changed his course, the princes will laugh at me Zhao Guo's order to change every day." ”

Zhao Bao has already taken a stand, and he already has a look of remorse for his previous decision. Zhao Wen is smart enough, so he shouldn't use this sentence to gag his mouth. When Zhao Bao heard this, the thorn stimulated his nerves. However, Zhao Bao was a harmonious person, and he did not use his identity to blame him, but calmly accused himself of his mistakes, "As a prime minister, I failed to revitalize the national strength and put the country in danger." Yes, the fault of the minister. ”

Zhao Jun was not convinced, pulled out Gongzi Cheng as his backing, and shouted: "Da Sikou, what is your opinion? ”

The son of the great priest Kou Cheng is the younger brother of the first monarch Zhao Yu and the uncle of the new monarch Yong. After Zhao Yu's death, he passed the throne of the monarch to the young Zhao Yong, and he was unwilling. Zhao Yuyong, he also had the idea of seizing the throne in his heart. However, he was observant and found that many of the ministers were loyal to the new king. If you seize the throne, you are afraid that you will bring disaster to yourself.

The country is in danger, as the younger brother of Zhao Suhou and the uncle of Xin Junyong, how can Gongzi Cheng stay out of the matter. Zhao Guoneng has today's achievements, and he also has a part of his contributions. He still has a strong affection for this country. He doesn't like the young new Junyong, and he is not attached to the throne. Rather, he felt that it was not a very honorable thing to obey a child, but he felt very shameful. Today's national crisis is not the time to worry about these, but how to unite people's hearts and minds to deal with the national crisis together.

At this moment, Gongzicheng's thoughts coincide with Zhao Bao.

Gongzi Cheng said in a deep voice: "We are courteous to the princes. What they get is not their respect. Rather, they feel that our country is easy to bully. Since war can't be avoided, I'm a big Zhao boy, why not be afraid of war. I, in agreement with the edict issued by the king, put the entire territory of Zhao under martial law and entered a state of combat readiness. ”

Zhao Wen and Zhao Jun saw that Gongzi Cheng also changed his claim, and was just about to open his mouth to defend himself. Zhao Jiong, who was on the side, secretly gave a look. Zhao Wen and Zhao Jun, just about to export, forcibly swallowed back. Feiyi, Li Dui, Gongsun Pu, Pang Wu and other civil and military generals have spoken out and expressed their support.

With the support of Zhao Bao and Gongzi Cheng of the clan, as well as the important ministers Fei Yi, Shangfu Li Dui, and the generals Gongsun Pu and Pang Wu, the situation developed towards Zhao Yong's expectations. Zhao Yong said to the ministers in the palace: "Whoever fornicates with a foreign enemy, kill him." If he does not listen to the dispatch, he will be punished for treason. ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of sobbing in the hall. Zhao Yong asked the man, "What are you crying about?" ”

The man walked out, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Minister, don't cry for yourself. It's for the national fortune of Zhao to cry. The ministers watched Zhao Guo approach the grave step by step, and none of them stepped forward. Thinking of the catastrophe of Zhao State, it will come soon. Minister, full of tears. ”

His words triggered the hearts of many ministers. Although Zhao Yong can't help the people of the clan, he can still use his majesty to suppress this kind of jumping clown, and said angrily: "Those who dare to compromise again will be destroyed." ”

Although Zhao Yong is young, his identity is a monarch after all, and he has a strong deterrent effect.

When the man saw this, he was very amusementingly silent. Zhao's national fortunes, compared with his head, the latter is much more important than the former.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Wen, Zhao Jun and others were disappointed with the performance of the young monarch. Zhao Wen looked up to the sky and sighed, his hands clapped loudly, "What does Zhao Guo do to resist the Five Kingdoms." Behold! Zhao Guo is now hopeless. ”

Zhao Jun also felt that his words were reasonable, Zhao State resisted the five countries with the power of one country, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg? Zhao Jun's eyes showed his dissatisfaction with Xinjun, "Your Excellency, you are young and ignorant, so forget it." Xiangbang and Da Sikou also followed Hu. After the first gentleman goes, in the incompetent. Behold! Zhao Guo will die at the hands of the vertical son. ”

The two looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

Zhao Jiong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Criticizing state affairs, aren't you afraid of the monarch's punishment?" ”

Zhao Wen and Zhao Jun didn't thank each other for their kind reminders, snorted, and left quickly.

Li Dui, walking out of the hall, looked at the cloudy sky, and whispered to Feiyi, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to convince people to issue an edict with a tough attitude. I'm afraid it will also cause trouble. Zhao Guo is surrounded by strong enemies outside, and tigers and wolves are worried inside. This is not a decree made by a wise man. ”

Fei Yi smiled at Li Dui's worries, "With Xiangbang and Da Sikou here, how can they stir up the storm." ”

Li Dui thought about it quietly, the clan has Xiangbang and Dasi Kou, and no one dares to make a mistake. However, he was full of worries in his heart, wouldn't the emperor's edict chill the heart of the scholar, "Your Majesty, isn't the attitude towards the strategists a bit excessive?" ”

"That man is also a strategist?" Fei Yi glanced at Li Dui obliquely, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary rules must be used." Do you really think that the person who cried just now is dedicated to the country. He's just trying to make a name for himself and make a name for himself. ”

Li Dui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Fei Yi lived in the Zhao Palace earlier than Li Dui, and his understanding of the Zhao court was also deeper than his. He just saw through it and didn't say anything. Otherwise, with his identity as a Hu person, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Handan. At that moment, there was no one around, so Fang said: "They are really for the country, so they should die to admonish." How can the king be angry, and dare not speak? O these people! always wants to be in the limelight, but our monarch sees through their little tricks. ”

Li Dui nodded, agreeing with Fei Yi's point of view.

The king of Wei sent Gongsun Yan as an envoy to the state of Qi, and then went north to the state of Yan and entered the state of Qin through the state of Zhao in the west. Then from Qin to the south into Chu, and finally back to Wei. When the king of Wei saw Gongsun Yan traveling, he not only invited Qi for himself, but also invited the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Yan. Zhongshan Guo saw that Zhao Guo was good and wanted a piece of the pie. The envoy of Zhongshan State, uninvited, also arrived in the Wei capital of Daliang.

The envoys of all countries gathered in the Great Liang of Wei. King Wei received a grand reception with a state gift.

Ambassadors from several countries came to the Wei Palace, and Wei Poppy was a little flustered. Wei Poppy was in Fengze, walking the royal road, and there were not so many envoys from major countries to participate. The ambassadors of all countries gathered in Daliang, giving Wei Poppy an illusion. He felt that this was the great cause of God helping him to complete the unification of the three Jins and then dominate the princes. Thinking that the great cause could be accomplished, Wei Poppy was very happy in his heart, and frequently toasted the envoys of other countries. During the banquet, the ambassadors of various countries put aside their past grievances and enjoyed themselves.

The next day, Wei Poppy again invited envoys from various countries to come and discuss the plot against Zhao.

The first thing to do is to reach an agreement with the other countries and conclude peace. Second, discuss the best candidate to lead the soldiers of the five countries. Third, after the success of Zhao, how to divide the land of Zhao.

The first two things, between the countries, reached an agreement. How to divide the land of Zhao State, everyone argues on the basis of reason, and it is difficult to reach a unified opinion. Seeing that the five kingdoms were arguing, Gongsun Yan gave a compromise plan: "The division of the land of Zhao is determined according to the war situation obtained by other countries." ”

Wei Poppy wanted to plot against Zhao Guo anyway, and Gongsun Yan's opinion was adopted by him. The ambassadors of Qi, Chu, Qin and Yan also have no opinion. As for the ambassador of Zhongshan, as soon as he entered Wei, he was snubbed by Wei Poppy. This time, the important matter was discussed, and the Zhongshan envoy was refused to participate. In the past, the Marquis of Wei Wuhou changed the law with Li Kui, Wu Qi and Ximen Leopard, and the national strength increased greatly.

Wei Poppy felt that seeing the Zhongshan envoy was lowering his status. Qi and Yan also felt that Zhongshan was the country of Rongdi, and without their funding, Zhongshan would have ceased to exist a long time ago. How can you be qualified to attend this meeting? Wei Qiyan of the Three Kingdoms ridiculed the envoys of the Zhongshan Kingdom. When the envoy of Zhongshan arrived in Wei, he was not only given a cold reception by Wei Poppy, but also humiliated by Qi and Yan. The Zhongshan envoy swore that one day, he must give Qi and Yan a good look to repay today's shame.

The Zhongshan envoy said to the people beside him: "The princes of the Central Plains look down on us, and we will attack the Zhao State ourselves." ”

In order to ensure that the plan of 'waiting for the opportunity to kill Zhao in the name of the funeral' could be carried out smoothly, the conspiracy meeting was held for three days. In the end, it was decided that the funeral procession would be under the unified command of Zhengqing Gongsun Yan, who was appointed by Wei Wang Poppy. Gongsun Yan's prestige and talent were enough to convince the ambassadors of the four countries, so they had no opinion on Gongsun Yan as a general.

When the king of Wei saw that the four kingdoms had handed over great power to him, they were all happy and immediately rewarded them with money.

Qi, Chu, Yan, Qin and other countries handed over their command to Wei not because of how strong Wei was and how high its prestige was. Rather, these vassal states have their own plans. If the plan is successful, you can get a piece of Zhao Guo's pie. If they failed, they shifted the blame to Wei. Then unite with Zhao and deal with Wei together.

Something that offends people, since Wei Poppy wants to do it, let him do it.

Of course? Other countries are only responsible for sending troops, and as for money and food, of course, it is the person who initiated this plan, and they all do it for them. Wei Wang Poppy will not think about how much money he will lose if he fights Zhao. What he wanted to see and hear was that it was enough for the armies of the five countries to listen to his Wei people's orders. Moreover, spending money like dirt shows the bearing of a great country.
