Chapter 170: Cleaning up Handan (I)
King Zhao didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only sit on the seat with his eyes blank.
Gong Yu was mastered by the Shenwu Army, which means that he has completely become a caged bird.
Whether it is life or the court, it will be mastered by the Chu people. Even, even the King of Wei may not be as good. At the very least, King Wei still has a little privacy of his own.
However, whether it is King Zhao or the current minister of Zhao State, they have already accepted the reality, and no one has stood up to oppose it.
Not long after Sun Qian returned to the palace, neat footsteps sounded outside the main hall again.
One by one, the palace guards of Zhao State were forced to the gate of the palace by the Shenwu Army dressed in Xuanjia.
"King Zhao." Xia Huan glanced at King Zhao, who was sitting on the throne and lost his soul, and reminded softly.
"Put your weapons down...... King Zhao hesitated for a moment, then ordered.
The palace guards of Zhao at the door, as soon as they heard King Zhao's order, immediately threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, stood aside respectfully, and got out of the way.
"Your Highness!"
Wang Yan and Yu Meng, who were carrying swords, strode to the palace.
"Wang Yan, from today onwards, everything in the Zhao Palace, will be handed over to you. I hope you will live up to the expectations that this king and the king of Zhao expect from you. ”
"The last general commands!" Wang Yan took two steps forward, and then bowed.
"Okay, everyone must be tired today, so let's disperse." Xia Huan stood on top of the main hall and waved his hand to the ministers under the hall and said.
"......"
The courtiers responded in a buzzing voice. Then, without looking at King Zhao on the throne, he turned around and began to walk towards the outside of the hall.
And Xia Huan waited for all the ministers to finish before slowly walking down the hall.
"Your Highness, after today's incident, I'm afraid you will become the target of public criticism."
On the way back, Zhang Yi, who should have said little, said something unexpectedly.
Xia Huan glanced at Zhang Yi with some surprise, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”
Zhao asked for help from Chu, however, the state of Chu instead took the opportunity to control the state of Zhao. This reputation, to put it mildly, is perfidy.
It is conceivable that Xia Huan's reputation in the future may not be very good.
However, Xia Huan himself didn't care about this.
Fame is really just a matter of words. Xia Huan, who experienced the kind of information explosion in later generations, has the confidence to clear himself in a short period of time.
Just like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he was just a gangster in his hometown, but he listened to Zhang Liang's advice and bribed Confucian scholars to spread his elder demeanor everywhere.
This made Liu Bang have the ability to fight again and again with Xiang Yu.
Compared with these distant reputations, now, what Xia Huan needs to deal with is to stabilize the hearts of the nobles in Handan.
First of all, it is necessary to choose someone who can convince the crowd and at the same time is willing to listen to him.
Therefore, after the next dynasty, Xia Huan came to Dingyang Houfu almost non-stop.
As the official office of Zhao Guo, and at the same time a rare person in charge of Zhao Guojun, the relationship between Li Yan and Xia Huan is actually not bad.
Therefore, Li Yan is the person in power elected by Xia Huan.
Since Dingyang Hou returned to Handan, although he was not punished by King Zhao, he was eventually deprived of military power.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment at all.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
In front of the Dingyang Waiting Gate, the huge Zhu Gate is tightly closed, and even the ear door for people to walk next to it is also closed.
Sun Qian knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no reaction from inside.
There is such a big thing happening in the court today, please, Li Yan, as a former boss in the army, is impossible not to know.
It's no wonder they choose to stay behind closed doors.
"Your Highness, Li Yan can't come out, what should we do?" Sun Qian walked to Xia Huan's side with some annoyance and asked.
In his opinion, Xia Huan has always been a corporal of Lixian when recruiting talents.
If Li Yan just kept hiding at home and didn't come out, then I don't know how long he would have to wait.
However, Xia Huan waved his hand and said, "Attack the mansion!" ”
Xia Huan, who had always been familiar with Sun Qian, was stunned for a moment, but the Shenwu Army following Xia Huan would not pay attention to it so much, and directly began to set up a ladder and prepare for a log attack.
The movement of the Shenwu Army is not small, and it is estimated that there are already people watching at the door in Dingyang Houfu.
As soon as I heard that the Shenwu army was starting to attack the mansion, it didn't take long for me to see a person who looked like a servant and ran out.
The servant hurriedly ran out, and before he could say a word, he was kicked to the ground by Xia Huan.
"I am the king of Zhou, what is your identity, and you dare to come to meet this king? Go and let Li Yan come out quickly, otherwise, don't blame this king for not remembering the old feelings! Xia Huan scolded viciously at the servant who fell to the ground, not at all like he was as gentle and elegant as before.
"Whew...... Here! ”
The servant hurriedly answered, and crawled towards the house with his hands and feet.
It didn't take long for Li Yan to come out with a large group of family members.
These family members, of course, are not ordinary family members, they look more like Li Yan's former subordinates. And behind Li Yan, there are several middle-aged men with swords, it seems that they should be his sons.
"His Royal Highness King Zhou."
Li Yan arched his hand, and there was neither nervousness nor any joy on his face.
"Farewell outside the city, General Li has made this king wait for a long time."
"His Royal Highness is busy, and the ministers are idle at home, so naturally they can't see it."
Li Yan's temperament is more or less weak, he belongs to that kind of person, he can do a good job, but he will not work hard to strive for higher and better.
All in all, it's like the former Xia Huan.
"Since General Li is free, then the king has a good place to go, and I just want to ask the general to report on his work."
"When people are old, I have lost another arm, and I just want to spend my old age in peace."
"Although General Li is old, Zhao Guo is now unable to lack generals. If the general is willing, he will be prosperous and rich in the future, so naturally there is no need to say more. ”
"I don't covet these ......"
However, before Li Yan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xia Huan.
"Then why don't you take advantage of Yu Wei's presence to seek benefits for your children and grandchildren."
Xia Huan's words made the eyes of several middle-aged people behind Li Yan light up.
"Zhao Guo has become like this, no matter how much glory and wealth there is, what is the use?" Li Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Li Yan is really a little worried about his sons.
"However, the King of Wei also enjoys the glory and wealth."
Xia Huan's words were wrong, which made Li Yan frown, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"Since Zhao Guo has become what it is today, it is natural that there is no virtuous king. If the general is willing, this king can be replaced by a Zhao king......"
