"Congratulations to the county lord." Sima Wang replied casually. Despite his excellent disguise, there was a deep affection in his eyes. Although this emotion is like a dragonfly dotting water, it is fleeting. But Zhao Yunshu is such a smart woman, in just a moment, she immediately noticed it. Sima Wangzu bit the corner of his lip, tried his best to restrain the feelings welling up in his heart, and said calmly: "The county lord has no other orders, please allow me to retire." ”

"The palace guard is in a hurry to leave."

"I'll leave Handan tomorrow, will you come to see me off?" Zhao Yunshu's eyes were full of anticipation. After waiting for a while, she took a slight breath, her eyes filled with melancholy and sadness, "Palace guard, please take care of yourself." ”

"The county lord is going well." When Sima Wang's family heard this, they were relieved and gave their hands to retire.

Zhao Yun said comfortably, "They can't go back after all." He bowed down and returned a full salute to the Sima Wang clan. After the two separated, Sima Wangzu returned to Zhao Palace to report to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun saw that his eyes were dull, and he had already guessed the ending.

The next day, the morning sun shone on Handan, and the climate was refreshing.

Zhao Jun stood on the towers of the majestic Handan City, and watched the army leave with a dignified demeanor. Out of Handan City, Tian Buli, Pang Wu, and Gongsun Pu led 10,000 soldiers to Yancheng. Lou slowly led 20,000 soldiers and was stationed on the border of Zhao Qi. Li Dui went to Zhongmu to monitor the movements of the Wei state. Zhao Gu returned to Daijun and wanted to pass by the party, so he chose to walk with Zhao Yunshu and Zhao Xie all the way.

Zhao Yunshu looked back at Handan City for a long time, his eyes were sad, and he was reluctant to leave.

A car came from the city of Handan. Zhao Yunshu showed a long-lost smile and drove forward.

Mu Jian jumped out of the car and said happily: "Sister Shu, I'll see you off." ”

Zhao Yunshu looked behind him, his eyes a little lost. He, after all, still didn't appear. Mu Jian saw her intentions and said with a smile: "The Wang clan has something to do, so I can't come to see Sister Shu." He asked me to apologize to you. ”

"Xiaojianzi, only you remember me in Handan." Zhao Yunshu swept away the sadness welling up in his heart, and said with a smile: "Next time I return to Handan, I will test your swordsmanship." ”

When Mu Jian heard this, he took a few steps back, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu, don't do it." ”

"As a man, you can't beat me, and you don't feel ashamed."

"Sister Shu is a heroine among women, don't say I can't beat it. Handan can catch Sister Shu's ten moves, and there are only a handful. ”

"Hugh is going to be a sycophant."

Zhao Gu shouted: "County Lord, it's on the road." ”

Mu Jian bowed his head and said happily: "Sister Shu, go slowly." ”

Zhao Yunshu glared at him, shook his head, and waved his big hand forward, giving the order to move forward.

Everything that happened outside Handan City, Zhao Jun had a full view. Zhao Jun's eyes were fixed on the person behind him, his back to the person behind him, and asked, "Yun Shu, the person you want to see the most is you." Why don't you send her off? ”

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Is it really impossible for you and her?"

"If you don't make a meritorious name, how can you grow up with your children."

"The widow has not yet established a meritorious career, isn't it also a family? Today, Zhang Er is a few years old. ”

"The king is the king of a country, how dare the wang clan compare with it."

"Wang, there are some things that no one can say to the minister. Whoever marries the county lord gets the resources of Jinyang. The county lord is related to the safety of the old capital Jinyang. It is also related to the movement of the Handan court. The vassal states sent envoys to our Zhao country to ask for relatives, and the widows all shirked the blame. First, it is for Zhao Guo. Second, it's for you. The county lord has long passed the age of marriage, and she is still reluctant to choose a mate. This shows that the county lord has you in his heart and can't let you go. Zhao Yong turned around leisurely and said, "Wangzu, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, the county lord is noble. Wanghu..."

Zhao Yong turned his back to him again, his eyes fixed on the trace of the army, and sighed: "The road is your own, and your life is also your own." ”

At the same time that the Qin State attacked the Zhao State. Zhao's northern neighbor Yan also had an event that shocked the princes... Yan Wang Ji gave way to the country.

In 323 BC, the state of Yan participated in the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Zhongshan proposed by Gongsun Yan. Yan Guo also joined the ranks of Hezhong, and Yan Guo did not follow the Zhou rites and started the royal road. The Yan State began to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains vassal states.

During the reign of King Qi Wei, Zhongshan was called the king and was on an equal footing with Qi. How could King Qi Wei endure it, so he intended to send troops to attack Zhongshan, and even did not hesitate to cut the city to Yan Zhao, so that Yan Zhao could send troops to destroy Zhongshan.

The kings of Yan and Zhao both wanted to use Zhongshan to consume the national strength of Qi. I don't want the Qi State to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom. On the one hand, he supported Qi Guo's expedition to Zhongshan. On the other hand, they secretly supported Zhongshan to resist the Qi state. When King Qi Wei saw the attack on Zhongshan, Yan and Zhao would also intervene. In addition, Chu and Yue jointly attacked the southern frontier of Qi State. At this time, the Qi State attacked the Zhongshan State and would fight against the five countries of Yan, Zhao, Zhongshan, Yue and Chu.

In order to deal with the great power of Yue Chu, the Qi State gave up its attack on Zhongshan.

Yan Guo intervened in the Central Plains and achieved success for the first time. There was a frenzy in the Yan Kingdom, and they all thought that the revitalization of the Ji family began here. In 320 BC, King Yan Yi died and was succeeded by his son Ji Xu.

Qin suffered a crushing defeat to Qi. Yan Wang Hao saw the opportunity and actively responded to Gongsun Yan again. Yan Guo and Han Zhao Wei Chu sent troops to Hangu together. However, Yan General Ji Ping was provoked by Zhang Yi and failed to participate in the attack on Qin. Ji Ping's withdrawal of troops caused the prestige of the Yan princes in the Central Plains to plummet.

King Yan is in charge of the country, and the power of the ministers is getting bigger and bigger. Yan Wang Hao originally wanted to use the attack on Qin to let his son Ji Ping establish meritorious deeds, and then weaken Zizhi's power. However, Ji Ping's army led the expedition without meritorious service, and let Yan lose his trust in the Central Plains princes. Seeing this opportunity, Zizhi decided to remove the stumbling block of Prince Taiping. secretly sent someone to contact the courtiers to impeach Prince Ping's faults.

Seeing that the child couldn't understand the situation, King Yan was so angry that his beard trembled: "Rebel, don't you still refuse to admit your mistake?" ”

Ji Ping's young man's bloody nature could not admit his mistake, and he said: "There is nothing wrong with the child." ”

"You." Ji Hao coughed heavily a few times and asked, "Ministers, the crown prince has no success in attacking Qin, and the dishonest princes should be dealt with." ”

"The minister suggested that the crown prince be deposed."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

When the prince saw the courtiers kneeling, his body trembled, and he asked, "Everyone, why are you targeting me like this?" Father, the child is right. ”

"Rebel, you should stop talking."

Prince Ping was also shocked by Yan Wang, and did not dare to open his mouth to plead.

King Yan calmed the unhappiness in his heart and asked, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, how can he be deposed at will." ”

"If the king does not depose the crown prince, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people."

"Please, Your Majesty, depose the crown prince and appease the anger of the people."

"Ministers, second."

Seeing Zizhi's body on the side, Ji Hao didn't say a word, and asked, "Zizhi, what do you mean?" ”

"The prince made a mistake and deserves to be punished." Zizhi changed his tone and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of Yan Kingdom, whether you want to remove the prince or not, you have the final say." ”

"Father, the child is right."

"Rebel. You led tens of thousands of troops on the expedition and returned without any merit. And let our country lose its trust with the princes. You dare to say you're right. King Yan said angrily: "You are right. The prince made a mistake and deserved to be punished. The widow punished the prince to go to Qi as a hostage. ”

"Qi is the hostage." Ji Ping lost his mind and said: "Father, the child is not going." ”

"Aren't you afraid of Qi Guo? The widow will send you to the country of Qi as a hostage. You shall not come back without the call of the widow. King Yan got up and left the court.

The prince is in Qi as a hostage. Zizhi continued to suppress the prince's party. Now, the prince's party is no longer a threat to him. One of the sub-parties, some people encouraged him to follow the example of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qi and the Four Kingdoms. Zizhi was not satisfied with the conservation of the people for a long time, so he hit the idea of King Yan. However, the country of Yan is the country of the surname Ji. The country of Yan has not been destroyed for hundreds of years, and the strength of its family surnamed Ji cannot be underestimated. If you make a rash move, it will not only provoke the resistance of the clan surnamed Ji and the ministers. The vassal states of the Central Plains will also send troops to intervene.

The son waits for the right time. This wait took three years.

Zizhi became Yan Xiang, excluded dissidents, and promoted his cronies. Up and down the Yan Kingdom, the people who hold the real power are all the people of the son. The power of the son is getting heavier, and he covets the position of the monarch of the Yan Kingdom. Now, when the time is ripe, Zizhi revealed a conspiracy hidden in his heart and set out to seize the throne of King Yan. Zizhi said to the people beside him: "I want to emulate the affairs of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qi Siguo, I don't know if it's okay." ”

"After hundreds of years, the country of Yan has run out of gas. It is feasible to follow the example of Han Zhao and Weiqi. ”

"King Yan is still sitting in that position, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause an uproar. How can this be good? ”

"The world is where the virtuous live, and Yan Xiangruo does not take Ji's world. Naturally, someone came to take it. ”

"Not to mention that the Yan Guoji surname clan is huge. What about the princes sending troops to intervene. ”

Su Dai smiled when he heard this: "Yan Xiang wants to take the throne, if the Ji clan does not resist, and the vassal states do not interfere in the government of the Yan State, this is not difficult." Yan Xiang's means of taking the throne only needs to be justified by the way. ”

Zizhi asked, "How can I be justified in order to win the world of the Ji family." Please sir teach me. ”

"No more talent." Su Dai arched his hand and said: "I am willing to enter the palace in person to talk about the king of Yao Shunyu." ”

Yao Shunyu's matter, Zizhi'an can not understand. Zizhi pondered for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Mr. is somewhat sure of this." ”

"King Yan is known as 'good and virtuous, benevolent', although I am not 100% sure of this, but I will do my best to serve Yan Xiang."

"With Mr. Lao's hard work, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will be grateful."

One person said: "King Yan is unwilling to give in, what should he do?" ”

"The government of Yan is in my hands, and he is unwilling to give in to me. I had no choice but to tear my face and forcibly force the palace and slaughter the clan surnamed Ji. Zizhi laughed coldly: "The current situation in Yan Country is not up to him whether he wants it or not. ”

Su Dai bowed his hand and said, "Yan Xiang, I will enter the palace to say King Yan." ”

The way of the son: "Mr. Lao is hard. ”

Ziyu said worriedly: "Yan Xiang, can Mr. succeed?" ”

"This plan is not successful, we still have a plan." Zizhi showed a treacherous smile, and Chengzhu said in his chest: "King Yan, I am decided." ”

Su Dai and Lu Maoshou entered the palace one after another, and said that King Yan was said to be Yao Shunyu. For a time, the Yan Palace was full of people.

"Your Majesty, you can't follow Yao Shunyu's abdication and make way for Xian." Ji Yuan pointed to the outside of the palace and said indignantly: "The ambition of the wolf of the son is obvious. The king abdicated to his son, but I am afraid that my Yan will rise again, and the country will not be a country!. ”

"In the past few days, you have seen everything that happened in the palace." Ji Xu's eyes said calmly: "The matter has come to this point, does the widow still have a choice?" The son has coveted the position of the widow for a long time. If he wants it, the widow will give it to him. ”

"Your Majesty, how can the Ji family's country be given to others."

"What if the widow doesn't send it. The power of the son is monstrous, and the widow is alone, how can he compete with it. ”

"The incompetence of the minister has humiliated the king."

"It doesn't matter if the widow is humiliated. The bloodline of the Ji clan is still there, and there is still hope for the Yan Kingdom. Ji Hao said: "This position is not something that Zizhi can sit on if he wants to." Even if he forcibly sits in this position, his life will not be peaceful. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean to say..."

"The son is a vassal, and he has taken the throne of a widow by his power. Don't say that the loyal and patriotic people in the country are not fair, and the vassal states can't bear it. Ji Hao said: "The widow can't help the son." The widow can only rely on the countrymen and the vassals. ”

"What the king said is very true, the son is king, and the people are not convinced. It is bound to rise up and attack it. ”

"The order is that all seals of more than 300 stones will be withdrawn and handed over to the appointment of the son. Order, the celebrant chooses an auspicious day, and the widow should hold a grand ceremony to give way to Yan Xiangzi. And the news of the change of the lord of the Yan country was announced to the princes and countries. Ji Hao showed a cold side, "If you want to kill a person, you must first make it crazy." ”

"Your Majesty, if you are not careful, you will leave a reputation for eternity!"

"A widow cannot live forever." King Yan left a few tears, "Why be afraid of a widow who bears the infamy of being stinking for 10,000 years!" ”
