"Although Zhibo's conditions are excessive, they are not non-negotiable, so it is better to send an envoy to Xintian to plead and ask for some tolerance...... Of course, it is impossible to divide the Zhao family into three. ”

Today, Zhao Ying was still unwell, and he didn't want the ministers to see his weak appearance, so he just showed his face and asked Zhao Wuxian to preside over the meeting.

Zhao Wuxian announced the "ultimatum" from Jiangdu, and Zhao Luo, the doctor of Wen County, who was frightened by this thing, said something timidly, he has always been timid and did not dare to openly oppose the government, but his pedantic opinion, Zhao Wuxian just pouted contemptuously in his heart, it seems that Wen County really has to change its master.

"How can you bow your head to Zhibo!"

An angry roar drowned out his words, and Zhao Wuxian followed the voice to see that it was Zhao Yi, the head of the horse, who roared: "To accept Zhibo's excessive request is to show weakness, and the sons of the horse head have died countless in battle, if I can only return to Jinyang with the bones of the soldiers, then what is the value of so many people dying on the battlefield?" ”

Ma Shou is located in the northern country, the land is barren and there are many mountains and forests, Zhao Yi has always wanted to change to the plain area, and now that the Zhao clan has captured most of the inland part of the river, there is hope for his new territory, once the Zhao clan accepts the conditions on the silk book, it means that he can not get any benefits in this war.

"It's good to have a truce...... But it depends on what conditions, if you agree to harsh conditions today, the Zhao clan will be torn apart, and there is no guarantee of Zhibo's credibility, maybe we just let Nanshan go, they will collude with the remnants of Fan and Zhongxing again, and take up arms to destroy the Zhao clan. The scribe Zhou She stopped the account and said.

"This is not only the condition of Zhibo, but also the order of the king, and the king's life is like heaven...... If he directly disobeyed the order, Zhao would be accused by him of being the first troublemaker and a traitor. Zhao Luo replied weakly, he was frightened by the tragic scene after going to the battlefield a few times, and wished that the war would end soon. Although I knew that the other party's conditions were harsh, I still wanted to talk about it first.

After observing the reactions of the crowd for a while, the attitude of the ministers was already obvious, and most of them were indignant at this ultimatum, but at the same time they were a little worried about disobeying the king's orders.

The time is ripe. Zhao Wuxian looked at Yang Hu, he was the most scornful person among all the people present who was loyal to the monarch.

"Second and third sons!" Yang Hu understood, and he shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the room.

"I'm not a Jin person, a bystander, and listen to me tell me what I think about the monarch and the ruling party!" He spat at the ground very rudely, causing everyone in the hall to look sideways.

"I heard Confucius, the elder of the Lu Kingdom, say that the monarch makes the ministers courteous. The ministers are loyal, and the silk book sent by the Marquis of Jin to the Zhao family is chaotic and harsh! Not from either! What's more, the king's fate is as true as the sky, but I am a foreigner, I only know the Zhao family, and I don't know that there is a Jin Jun! ”

Wang Sun Qi, who commanded the chariot soldiers, also said: "Yes, we are the ministers of the Zhao family, not the ministers of the Jin marquis. The private vassals only serve the lord, and they know nothing else. The sovereign fights when he speaks, and the sovereign makes peace when he speaks. ”

Then they all stood up and said that they would obey only Zhao Wuxian's life. Because of the pledge of allegiance that was held by the river just yesterday, Zhao Ying's subordinates are also going to start to be loyal to Wuxian.

But I heard Zhao Wuxian say slowly after the short case: "The Zhao family has been in the Jin Dynasty for the twelfth generation, and it is loyal and good for generations, and it stands to reason that it is the order of the monarch." My father and son will not disobey ......"

He didn't wait for everyone to speak, and suddenly his voice changed: "But in this silk book, I'm afraid there is not a word that the monarch himself meant!" ”

Yang Hu said loudly: "What does the gentleman mean is that this silk book is actually Zhibo's pretension? ”

"Not bad. Now the imperial court has the dictatorship of thieves such as Zhishi and Fan, and the remnants of the Bank of China, colluding with foreign enemies to harm the loyalty and goodness of the Zhao family, and endangering the country's society. And the king is sick and lost, and he has been hollowed out by Zhibo and become a puppet, and he can't examine our loyalty. ”

After revealing this "fact" to everyone, Zhao Wuxian stood up, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"There is a good saying, the six relatives are not in harmony, and there is filial piety; The country is in turmoil, and there are loyal ministers. As a loyal minister, the Zhao clan is the hope of thousands of people, not only can they not give in to the treacherous evil, but they must also firmly reject the delusions of Zhibo and continue the previous strategy. ”

"Although Zhibo can collude with Qi, Zheng, and Wei, they all have their own thoughts and will never act in unison, which gives us a chance to break through! Don't forget, the Zhao family also has friends, the princes of Lu, Han, Song, Cao, and Sishang, which are enough to match. After sweeping Dongyang, he will be able to march west to Jiangdu, punish the wicked people on the side of the king, and return the Jin country to a bright and bright country! ”

He raised his arms and exclaimed, his eyes blazing, while the ministers knelt down one after another, baring their right arms to show their intentions.

"Punish the treacherous and evil, Qingjun side!"

Not only the Yang Tiger who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but also the staunch main battle faction Wang Sun Qi and Zheng Long, as well as Zhao Yi and Zhou She, stood together, and then knelt down on their knees, shouting the arrogant slogans of the courtiers who openly disobeyed the order, which resounded in the palace of Wen County:

"Punish the treacherous and evil, Qingjun side!"

"Punish the treacherous and evil, Qingjun side!"

...... "Punish the evil and the king?" “

A few days later, Pingyang, the head of the Han family, always got the news from the east before Jiang because of its location.

Listening to Han Hu, a sweaty grandson, narrating Zhao's inscriptions, Han Buxin stood up abruptly, and sat back on the couch after a half-loud sigh of surprise, savoring the contents inside.

Zhao refuted the charges declared by Zhibo one by one in the text, but believed that Zhishi was the biggest traitor in the Jin Kingdom, and put forward the slogan of "Qingjun side"-for-tat for "the first calamity, people and gods punish him".

"Zhao is determined to fight Zhibo to the end, after Zhao Wuxian left Wen County, he went to Yewang to find me, he painfully narrated that Zhibo monopolized the dynasty, detained the monarch, framed Zhao, and asked Han to continue to stand on the same front with Zhao, what does grandfather think?"

Han Buxin said slowly: "Originally, Zhibo, as the ruling party, asked the Zhao clan to make a truce, and the land was justified, if the Zhao clan was not satisfied, it would be a blatant rebellion, and at that time, the Han clan would be embarrassed." Because in Jin Qingli, whether it is Zhao, Fan, Bank of China or Wei, they have actually done things such as killing kings or arrogating and disobedient, but I, the Han family, have been respecting the office for hundreds of years, after all, we are the only remaining vein of the Quwo office......"

Han Hu said hesitantly: "With the respect of the ruling party, Zhibo has entangled the prestige of the office, the strength of the people of Jiangdu, and the remnants of Fan and Zhongxing in the west of Taihang, and he can indeed make up twice the military strength of the Zhao clan in the Jin Kingdom......"

"If you add Wei's, it's three times ......" Han Buxin laughed: "But I don't think Wei Mando plans to move lightly." In fact, Zhibo also sent an envoy, and he promised that as long as the Han clan did not help each other, he would be able to enjoy the inland part of the river that he was now occupying, and after the fall of the Zhao clan, he would even be able to share some of the benefits of the Han clan, and the Han clan's son-in-law Bolu could also inherit the throne. And someone from the Wei family also came, wanting to make an appointment with the old man to stay still, and the Han and Wei families were neutral and mutually protected. ”

Han Hu was stunned, if this is the case, the situation will change from the Zhao family's overall dominance to a difficult situation...... Needless to say, once the Qi State enters the game, it will also be an extremely troublesome opponent, and the Zhao family may be slowly consumed and collapsed under this two-sided pincer attack.

He gritted his teeth, took a few steps closer on his knees, and said, "Maybe my grandfather thinks that Zhibo's promise and Wei's suggestion are very tempting, but the kid thinks that although Zhibo's formation is large and wide and there are many allies, it is still the Zhao clan that can win in the end!" ”

Han Buxin smiled and helped his grandson up: "You really have confidence in the Zhao family." ”

"After all, the kid has been fighting side by side with the Zhao clan on the battlefield in Hanoi for several months, and he still has a deep understanding of them. But the Zhao family did it, Zhao Wuxian, he is a heroic lord who can make the impossible possible, the Zhao family is in his hands, and he will never fail easily. ”

Han Buxin nodded: "It is also thanks to your judgment that the Han clan can get a large territory...... In fact, I have also hesitated, I don't have the slightest trust in Zhibo, but it seems to be the safest to follow Wei's neutrality and mutual insurance. But after thinking about it again, I found that now the Han clan has fallen too deep and can't get out at all. After all, Han's territory is not as good as Wei's, we span Taihang, and we also have a lot of interests in the east, if it is the two ends of the first rat, in the end, Zhisheng will turn his face against Han, and Zhao Sheng will punish us for betrayal, since Fan and Bank of China can only last a few months, I don't think Wei and Han can breathe for long, neutrality, it seems to be cost-effective, but it is actually a manifestation of no foresight......"

"And what is Grandpa going to do?"

"It is no good to openly rebel against the king, because if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done. But since the Zhao clan was smart enough to sacrifice the Qing monarch's side, the Han clan might be able to continue to follow them. He shook his head and said, "I really admire him for being able to think of such a good excuse to fight for his own righteousness." ”

At the end, Han Buxin said, "You go back and tell Zhao Wuxian that the Han family will continue to fight side by side with the Zhao family." But the condition of the decay is that when the Qing monarch succeeds one day, the Zhongxing clan's several counties west of Taihang, as well as Lu Hundi, will be handed over to the Han clan! In addition, the war east of Taihang, the Han clan will no longer participate, I will defend the west for him, and the territory troops will shrink back to the city to garrison, I don't want the Han clan to be defeated after the war is won......
