Today, Zhou Shao stepped forward and shouted outside the hall, thanks to this move, otherwise with Su Qin and Zhao Xi's arguments, it would not be clear even when it comes to Tianming.

Zhao Hou asked Zhou Shaodao: "Just now you suddenly shouted outside the palace gate that the generals hate to be pointed at behind their backs, why don't you tell the widow your opinion, if you are reasonable, the widow will not punish you for the rude shout just now." ”

Zhou Shao replied: "Weichen is stupid and reckless, he has disturbed the king, and he deserves death." However, Weichen was a last resort, did not suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted it unintentionally. ”

He first exonerated himself, and then said: "What Weichen is angry about is that the ministers are debating whether it is worthwhile or not for the soldiers in front of them to sacrifice their lives for the country. Which of those soldiers is not a hero who died for the Zhao Kingdom! As long as he obeys the king's orders, is not afraid to donate his life, and goes to the battlefield, he is a first-class hero. ”

"Weichen is stupid, I don't know if it's right or not, I hope you will be enlightened."

Zhao Hou couldn't stop nodding his head, and said with emotion: "What General Zhou said, won the hearts of the widows, those people of Zhao State, put down the work in their hands, bravely went to the battlefield, and some people even sacrificed their lives, but we are here to discuss the value of their sacrifice, it is indeed very inappropriate." ”

Zhou Shao was affirmed by Zhao Hou, and he had even more courage in his heart, and he said again: "Weichen personally participated in the Battle of Anyi, the Battle of Mianchi and the rescue of the prince, and he should have deep feelings about these military operations of Zhao State. ”

Zhou Shao said, stared at Zhao Xi again, and sneered: "Although Weichen does not dare to say that he has made great contributions to the country, he is far better than those who are bent on avoiding the war and complaining when they encounter some small difficulties. His words matched his eyes, and he was obviously more energetic than Zhao Xi again.

Zhou Shao sarcastically mocked Zhao Xi, but did not name him, Zhao Xi knew that the object he was referring to was himself, but he couldn't refute it, because once he opened his mouth to refute, wouldn't he be the villain who was muttering about the soldiers in front of him behind his back?

Zhao Hou was very appreciative of what Zhou Shao said, and Zhou Shao's words also gave him a lot of inspiration, it is true that Zhao Hou only considered the problem from the perspective of whether it was beneficial or not, but the soldiers of Zhao State had already made great efforts and sacrifices for the success of the Alliance, so who will judge their merits? Is it really not worth mentioning?

Zhao Hou's face showed emotion, and he should say to Zhou Shao: "General Zhou reminded the widow, whenever the widow thinks of those Zhao warriors who sacrificed their lives in Wei, how can they not be grateful. ”

Zhou Shao was affirmed by Zhao Hou, and his mood turned from anger to relief, he made an exception and said bitterly: "With Weichen's observation, Zhao has rescued Wei, Han and other vassal states several times, and its prestige among the eastern princes has increased greatly. ”

"Weichen knew that he was just a general, and the king ordered me to fight where, but Weichen didn't say a word, and immediately went into battle. But now that the conference of the Hezong Alliance is close at hand, everything is in place, why should you regret it? Wouldn't that have made the heroic achievements of the soldiers in front of them go to waste? Didn't he also lose faith in other princes to the outside world, and let them see the jokes of our Zhao Kingdom? ”

"Weichen led the army to Huo Taishan to save the prince, but also to ensure the safety of the prince and make the Hezong Conference convene smoothly, if you can't see the arrival of that day, Weichen will be difficult to accept, I think this is also the voice of the soldiers who participated in several military operations of the Hezong Alliance."

Zhou Shao's words were sincere and painful, logical, Zhao Hou heard this, and was so moved that tears were rolling in his eyes, he said: "Listening to General Zhou's words today, the widow suddenly opened, this support for the alliance was originally a decision made by the widow with a painful decision, but when the matter came, he regretted it again, and the widow was ashamed." ”

Zhao Hou said, glanced at Zhao Xi and the crown prince, and scolded secretly in his heart: "It's all because of your troubles, so I asked Su Qin to convene late at night, and there was such an awkward scene." Especially you, Zhao Xi, are really annoying! ”

Zhou Shao took advantage of the situation and then said: "Weichen led the Hezong army to rescue the prince this time, our troops broke the Lin Jackal Cavalry in Panlong Plateau, beheaded more than 20,000 people, the combat effectiveness of the Linhu tribe has been sharply reduced, and it is difficult to recover from the internal struggle for a long time. ”

"What's more, Zhao Guo has participated in the military operations of the princes several times, and has played the military might of Zhao State and the morale of Zhao Army, this kind of tiger and tiger majesty has never been seen in Zhao State since the ancestor Zhao Xiangzi broke Zhi Boyao!"

When Zhao Hou heard this, he had a deeper understanding of the practical benefits that Su Qin and the Hezong Alliance had brought to Zhao State, and he had never heard such remarks from Su Qin's mouth.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Su Qin, he was originally a foreign minister, these exploits came out of his mouth, it was inevitable that he was boastful, and today from the mouth of Zhou Shao, a person who personally participated in all the military operations of Zhao State, that is truly convincing, and it just shows the opinion of the generals and soldiers of Zhao State on Su Qin.

Zhao Hou also sighed: "The widow also feels ashamed of the glory of the ancestors, so he is determined to revive the majesty of Zhao among the princes and support the step of the alliance of the alliance, it seems that the widow is on the right track." ”

He looked at the prince in turn and scolded sternly: "You yellow-haired son, you really don't know right from wrong!" Could it be that just because you were a little frightened, you have to change the established national policy of Zhao State? When you encounter such a lack of vision, how can you let the widow rest assured of you! Besides, you are still unharmed, and you were scared first, are you still worthy of being a descendant of my Zhao family? ”

Zhao Hou's words of reprimand frightened the crown prince Zhao Yong's face changed greatly, and he only realized at this time the danger of following Zhao Xi into the palace to admonish, once it failed, he would immediately face terrible consequences. Looking at his father's anger today, it is not impossible to abolish his position as the crown prince.

The crown prince Zhao Yong's intestines were all repentant, he didn't have time to resent Zhao Xi, he knelt down in front of Zhao Hou's knees, cried in his mouth, and said: "Father don't be angry, blame the child for being confused for a while, not knowing what is going on, and making his father angry." Children must be thoughtful in the future, distinguish between right and wrong, and no longer dare to be gullible with others. Wan Wang's father is relieved, don't be angry with a child. ”

Zhao Hou Zhao Yu glanced at his son under his knees, and for a while he couldn't ease the sullenness in his heart, his eyes looked at other places, and he didn't say a word, as if it was difficult to forgive the prince for his behavior today.

Su Qin saw that the prince was in trouble, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he understood that Zhao Xi was the biggest cause of this unreasonable admonition, but the prince was so close to Zhao Xi, Su Qin also found it difficult to accept.

Su Qin wondered if he should persuade Zhao Hou and ask him to forgive the crown prince Zhao Yong again. At this time, Zhao Xi, who was originally sitting on the left side of Zhao Hou, was the first to plead, and he said: "Although Weichen has always opposed Zhao Guo's participation in the merger, he thinks that it is within Weichen's duty to advise the monarch to think twice. Today, when I entered the palace to admonish, the prince could have not come, but I entered the palace together under my repeated requests. ”

"Wechen suffered together with the prince, this is Wechen's fault. Wechen is willing to die in exchange for the prince's innocence. As he spoke, he stood up sharply and slammed into the thick pillars of the main hall.

The incident happened in a hurry, no one thought that Zhao Xi had the heart to seek death in exchange for the prince's innocence, and his action didn't seem to be playing false, and Su Qin didn't have time to help save him.

It happened that the beam pillar that Zhao Xi hit was close to Zhou Shao's side, although Zhou Shao was angry that Zhao Xi had repeatedly slandered the Alliance, but he didn't want to see him die in front of him, only to see Zhou Shao in a hurry, stretched out his right arm, and pushed Zhao Xi's body violently.

Zhou Shao is a military general, in a hurry, he is very brave, he almost used all the strength of his right arm, this one pushed Zhao Xi out more than a zhang, and fell to the ground heavily.

Zhao Xi originally had the heart of death, but Zhou Shao stood up, although this thrust saved Zhao Xi's life, but it also made his body unbearable. Zhao Xidi's ass and back hit the ground, and he fell heavily into the corner of the hall, so painful that he grinned and screamed.

Zhao Hou and the prince and others were shocked when they saw Zhao Xi for the first time, and then saw him fall to the ground in embarrassment, screaming in pain, and felt funny.

Su Qin stood up at this time and personally went to the corner of the main hall to help Zhao Xi up. Su Qin kindly stretched out his right hand to hold Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi didn't buy it, he slammed Su Qin's hand away, and he reluctantly stood up. He stood up, hissing in pain.

Zhao Hou saw that Zhao Xi was still holding on, and he wanted to lose face and ignore his body, so he said to the prince: "Yong'er, you go and help Dr. Zhao here." ”

When the prince heard his father's voice, he called himself "Yong'er" again, as if his anger had subsided, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The prince hurriedly got up to help Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi did not refuse this time.

Zhou Shao was dissatisfied with Zhao Xi not giving Su Qin face, and pushed away Su Qin's helping hand, he said angrily: "Your doctor Zhao wants to seek death, and he doesn't look at the place, but he chooses to be in the main hall of Handan Palace, how can you let the king explain clearly." Prime Minister Su was kind enough to help you, but you maliciously refused, you were looking for death by yourself, and I really regretted saving you. ”

Zhao Xi walked back with the support of the prince, he heard Zhou Shao's sarcasm, and replied angrily: "I didn't ask you for help, it's you who have a lot of trouble, and I don't buy it." ”

Of course, Zhao Hou didn't want to see Zhao Xi commit suicide in his own hall, so how could he explain to his subjects, after all, this person still had a good reputation among the people, if he died in his own palace, he would not be able to become the faint monarch referred to by Qianfu?
