It was extremely rude to interject immediately after the monarch called for Doctor Gongsun, and the atmosphere above the hall suddenly cooled down, and Han Hou's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Where the eyes of the hall were concentrated, Dr. Zhao Zhuo was also a little nervous, but he still straightened his chest and raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates do have a plan to retreat from the Wei army, if it weren't for the mention of Gongsun Qi from the top of the king, your subordinates would not have thought of it for a while." ”

"Say."

Although it was just a simple word, Han Hou's displeasure was still expressed, it seemed that if it weren't for Zhao Zhuo's claim to have a plan, Han Hou would definitely investigate his crime of interfering.

"Your Majesty, the previous year the monarch led the army to surround the current Wei Hou, it was Gongsun Qi's plan, and this year he sent a large army to attack Luoyang, which is also Gongsun Qi's advice, twice offended Wei Hou, both of which are Gongsun Qi's reasons, and Gongsun Qi's person fled from Wei, Wei Hou hated it, if Gongsun Qi was dedicated to Wei Hou, it was Gongsun Qi's fault to say that the two offenses were actually Gongsun Qi's fault, Wei Hou was full of heart, and he would definitely retire."

This is the life of Gongsun Qi, the hall was in an uproar, all the ministers looked at Gongsun Qi in front of the crowd, and then looked at Zhao Zhuo on the other side, usually these two people are not very eye-to-eye, but no one thought that Zhao Zhuo would come ruthlessly today.

And Zhao Zhuo also said that the above point, South Korea offended the dignity of Wei Hou twice, once directly surrounded Wei Hou, and the other time surrounded Luoyang, and now the royal family has been taken over by Wei Hou, that is to indirectly offend Wei Hou, and the important thing is that Gongsun Ji was originally Wei Chen, and when Wei Hou and his brother were competing for the throne, they fled from Wei and went to South Korea and then suggested that Han Hou soldiers surround the current Wei Hou, and almost took the life of the current Wei Hou. It can be imagined from this that if Gongsun Qi is sacrificed, Wei Hou will be satisfied, and most of them will be more negotiable.

But Gongsun Ji must be 100% dead.

At this time, even Han Hou was looking down and thinking, and no one pursued Zhao Zhuo's interfering crime, the ministers of the palace were all looking between the two of them, Zhao Zhuo held his head high, he was triumphant, and the Gongsun Qi held his hands, frowned and looked around, but did not say anything.

It didn't take long for a minister to take the lead in speaking, "Your Majesty, my lords, the old man thinks it is impossible, Gongsun Ji is a defector from another country to my Korea, if I return it, it will hurt the hearts of the scholars of other countries, and cut off the way for my scholars from other countries to defect to my Korea, so the old man thinks that it is absolutely impossible." ”

Everyone looked for prestige, and it turned out to be Han Chao.

What I really didn't expect was that this Han Chao disagreed with Gongsun Qi many times, and there were many battles in the court, but this time it was Han Chao who was the first to speak for Gongsun Qi.

Soon, many ministers continued to speak, and they were clearly divided into two factions, one faction supported Zhao Zhuo, and the other faction supported Han Chao.

Obviously, this kind of quarrel was not what Han Hou wanted, holding back his anger, Han Hou shouted a few times, and the hall was quiet again.

After coughing lightly a few times, Han Hou's hoarse voice sounded again.

"Now that the army of Wei is pressing the border, less than a hundred miles away from my Han Palace, and there is no barrier outside the city of Xinzheng, is it useful to wait for my Korean courtiers to argue here about the stay of a Korean minister?"

Feeling the sovereign's wrath, none of the ministers did not bow their heads.

"Ladies and gentlemen. The widow hereby affirms that Gongsun Qi is my Han Chen, and when he defected to my Xinzheng, the widow already knew about him and decided to take him in, and since it was decided that day, he would not be returned to Anyi today. offended the Marquis of Wei twice, although it was Gongsun Qi who made the decision, but the decision-maker was a widow, who dispatched troops, and even personally led a large army to surround the Wei State and the party, and the person who strengthened the Zhou Dynasty Luoyang was also a widow. From this point of view, wouldn't it be more satisfying for Wei Hou to sacrifice the widow? ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's Wrath!"

As soon as Han Hou's words fell, the hall was densely packed and knelt down, the monarch was furious, and the court shook, it was by no means a trivial matter, and no one dared to say a word more at this juncture. Especially that Zhao Zhuo knocked his forehead even more, but unfortunately he was sandwiched between a large group of people, but it was not conspicuous at all. However, Han Hou obviously didn't delve into Zhao Zhuo's meaning, otherwise he would have spoken a long time ago.

After a long commotion, the hall fell silent again. Then a man in the kneeling part of the temple shouted. In this matter, if there is one person in this temple who stands differently from everyone else, it is Gongsun Qi.

"Your Majesty thank you, your subordinates are not talented, you can only swear to die to repay your monarch."

Han Hou nodded, "Everyone get up, the widow decides, defend Xinzheng, immediately mobilize the whole city's troops, gather all the nobles, big family slaves and idlers in the city, the widow will defeat Wei Hou under Xinzheng City, and the cities around Xinzheng will be fully guarded according to Han Chao's words." Ladies and gentlemen, Han Chao is responsible for recruiting troops and raising food in the city, Han Dang is responsible for defending the city, and Han Jin of Hebei is the forward general, leading an army of 50,000 to be ready to go out of the city at any time. Ladies and gentlemen, I, Xinzheng, am in danger, and the dignity of Korea is here. ”

"No!"

The king set the tone, and the ministers naturally had to obey, but no one expected that Han Hou was ready to reuse Han Jin, and it seemed that the Han Hu family would continue to prosper, some time ago, after Han Hu was defeated and retreated to Luoyang, many ministers strictly ordered their children to interact with Han Hu's family, and now many ministers in the palace have moved their minds again, and it seems that they still have to go to Han Hu's house to move around.

It's just that at this time, no one, including Han Hou, mentioned what Han Hou was going to ask when he called Gongsun Ji just now, and after being interjected by Zhao Zhuo, Han Hou himself couldn't ask Gongsun Ji anymore. However, no one noticed that Gongsun Qi at this time lowered his head, and his face was slightly disappointed.

What was Gongsun Qi disappointed about? Is it the Korean minister's desire to put himself to death, or Han Hou's hesitant character, or his ambitions have not been realized, or is there something else? At this time, only Gongsun Qi himself knew.

At the end of the court meeting, after discussing the detailed rules on how to defend the city and how to arrange the troops, Han Hou remembered Gongsun Qi, who had been almost silent, so he asked Gongsun Qi's opinion again.

Gongsun Qi also quickly replied, "Back to the king, I heard that the Marquis of Wei played the banner of the royal family, and that Zhou Jun was in the army of the Marquis of Wei, and followed the Wei army to come, it is better to advertise the world, claiming that the Marquis of Wei held the Son of Heaven hostage, falsely called the banner of the Son of Heaven, and wantonly attacked the princes of other families. In this way, although it cannot arouse the hatred of other princes, it can also make my Korea stand on the righteousness. ”

"Your Majesty agrees with what Lord Gongsun said, my South Korea sent troops to Luoyang, but it was to clear the army and correct the injustice of the Son of Heaven, but the Marquis of Wei directly held the Son of Heaven hostage, and it is no more rebellious than this, and it can indeed advertise the princes of the world." As soon as Gongsun Qi's voice fell, Han Chao spoke.

Immediately afterwards, several ministers agreed, but some people objected, saying that if the Son of Heaven did take the initiative to ask Wei Jun to come, and he also voluntarily followed Wei Jun, so what?

However, Gongsun Qi immediately refuted the past, "Although the Zhou family is weak, it is unwilling to be under the princes, Zhou Jun can resist my Korean army, how can he rely on the Wei army?" Besides, even if Zhou Jun is voluntary, as long as I, South Korea, issue a statement first, saying that Wei Hou is holding the Son of Heaven hostage, then the people of the world will have preconceived ideas, and naturally they still believe that Wei Hou has done a lot of bad things. Even if Wei explained it later, most of the princes would not believe it. ”

Hearing this, Han Hou nodded with satisfaction, "It's up to Doctor Gongsun, and I'll hand it over to Doctor Gongsun at this time." ”

Finally, it was heard that Gongsun Qi's favor had not decreased much because of the arrival of the Wei army.

Now that the situation in Xinzheng is tense, after the major event must come down, the court meeting will end, and the state apparatus of South Korea will immediately launch it with all its might, and with the issuance of one order after another, the already tense Xinzheng City will be even more cloudy, and an unprecedented war will come to Xinzheng, the land of four wars.

In fact, as early as when the Korean army attacked Luoyang, the princes of the world already knew, but only the Marquis of Wei had made a move, and now, the Marquis of Wei strongly intervened between the Zhou royal family and South Korea, so it would no longer be shocked by the countries, but at this time the news was still on the way.

To the west of Hangu, in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, a rough-clothed man was running selflessly, ignoring the fact that the straw sandals under his feet had worn out his feet, because he wanted to send the news between Heluo and Luo back to the Qin capital as quickly as possible.

Outside Linzi City, a carriage completely ignored the two huge wheels have run away, still sparing horsepower, finally, Linzi City is in sight, the coachman happily raised the whip, but unexpectedly the two horses screamed together, the front legs were weak, kneeling on the ground, the carriage crashed up, actually turned forward, and the carriage was still sitting a scholar jumped up suddenly, and finally jumped out before the carriage overturned, like the wings of the Roc fell firmly on the ground. As soon as the scholar's feet landed, he ran towards Linzi City without looking back, and no longer paid attention to the carriage that overturned behind him, and the chauffeur who was screaming.

At this time, in the Handan Palace, Zhao Hou looked happy, and his hands hidden in the long sleeves were still a little trembling, and he almost asked with a roar, "The Wei army went straight to Henan, did Nell see it with his own eyes?" ”

In the main hall, Zhao Hou was beside several doctors in Chinese clothes, but Zhao Hou did not say this for these doctors, but at a man in cloth who was kneeling three steps away in front of Zhao Hou. This man was dressed in a coarse linen robe, with a bun on his head that was common to Central Plains farmers, his face was tired, his face was pale, and his body was still slightly trembling, obviously returning from a long journey.

The man didn't dare to raise his head, looked at the ground and replied respectfully, "Back to the king, it is indeed seen by the villain, the villain and his two companions have been following the Wei army out of Anyi, and the Wei army turned south soon after leaving Anyi, until Wenyi, which is under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty, crossed the river, and the villain went back to Handan to report the news, while the two companions crossed the river from elsewhere and continued to follow the Wei army. ”

Obviously, Zhao Hou learned the news earlier than other princes, not because Handan was relatively close to Anyi, but because Zhao Hou was more concerned about the dynamics of the Wei army, so the Zhao State spies returned to Handan before they determined the final purpose of the Wei army.

The man said nothing, and all he heard was a burst of laughter.

"Haha, it was rumored in Anyi earlier that the Wei army was going to attack my Handan, which is really ridiculous, really ridiculous!" Zhao Hou looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, but no one in this hall cared about Zhao Hou's gaffe.

In the same way, several doctors were relieved, and the war that could not be won was naturally as far away from them as possible. It's just that these doctors don't have the gaffes or presumptuous of their masters.

After Zhao Hou finished laughing, a long-bearded minister asked in a deep voice, "How many chariots and soldiers does the Wei army have?" Is it really Wei Hou who personally dispatched? ”

The man was obviously a professional scout, and immediately gave the answer, 500 chariots, 100,000 troops, and the handsome banner was the banner of Wei Hou.

After waving his hand to let the scout go down, the long-bearded Zhao Chen turned to Zhao Hou and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei army crossed the river to the south, most of them went straight to South Korea, and a month ago, the Han army was storming Luoyang, I heard that it has not yet been breached, at this time, the Wei army from Wenyi to Mengjin, most of them were at the request of Zhou Jun, and exterminated the Han army that offended the Zhou royal family, maybe Wei Hou temporarily changed his mind and gave up attacking my Handan, or it was rumored that Anyi was rumored that Wei Hou deliberately disturbed the sight of the princes of the world, so as to unexpectedly block the Han army between Heluo and Luo, so as to hit Korea hard. The minister thought that no matter what the reason, it would be a good thing for my Zhao State, and I could draw the military strength of the Southern Wei State to Daizhou or Zhongshan. ”

Zhao Hou, who was quiet, pondered for a while, and immediately nodded, "Taiwu Wuguo does not live up to me, this explanation is true, no matter what, the Wei army goes south, my Zhao country is worry-free, pass the widow order, General Le Zuo led the army to the north and went to Daizhou to resist the Hu people." As for Zhongshan Kingdom, the widow thought it was better not to move for the time being. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty!" A group of doctors and courtiers headed by Zhao Xiangtai Wuwu all surrendered their hands.

To the south of today's Zhao State is the Wei State, and the Zhao State is unable to go south, so it focuses on the north, so Zhao Hou's arrangement is very in line with the current national policy of Zhao State, and it was naturally unanimously approved. It is also true that the Wei State in front of him threatened to beat Zhao Guo, which really made Zhao Guojun and his ministers very worried for a while.

In addition, Song Wei and other small countries in Sishang, who had just received the news that the Wei army was heading for Luoyang, were also relieved that the main force of the Wei army went straight to the Han army, and they would not come to trouble these small countries in Sishang again, at least not for a while, and these small countries finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of another big country, Chu, at this time, I don't know the news of the Central Plains, since the defeat of the Chu army by the Han and Wei coalition forces decades ago, the Chu State has focused on the Yue State in the east and Bashu in the west, and turned to a defensive state in the north, and even built Fangcheng. However, Chu still has so many spies in the Central Plains, but they are still on the road at this time.

I really don't know how the princes of the world will react once they learn that Marquis Wei has kidnapped Zhou Tianzi, pulled out the two cities of Korea, and besieged Xinzheng. Is it indignant that Wei Guo is domineering, or clapping his hands and laughing and saying that South Korea will eventually have bad retribution for offending the Son of Heaven, or beating his chest and sudden, hating himself for missing a good opportunity, how did Wei Hou show a big performance in front of Zhou Tianzi?

However, one country's superior forces besiege the capital of another vassal state, this is a major event that has not been seen for many years, and if it is not good, it will be a war to destroy the country, and the situation in the world is unpredictable. However, at this time, Zhou Tianzi Zhou Bian, who was in the turbulent whirlpool, was in a very relaxed mood, in fact, he was having a headache at this time for a difficult problem that repeatedly tested human beings, that is, what to eat at night. As for the major affairs of the family and the country, the situation in the world, what are you afraid of, there is Wei Hou to bear!
