After about a day, the monarchs and people of Zhao were shocked, and some important ministers never returned to the mansion to accompany King Zhao for half a step. Before leaving, King Zhao's palace was already crowded with a group of important ministers, all of whom were in tears and reluctant to give up King Zhao. When the family members of King Zhao came to the vestibule and saw King Zhao arrested, they all cried and cried, their cries had already overshadowed the low sobs of the old ministers, but Queen Zhao, Princess Lu Yuan, stood with King Zhao with a calm face, watching these family members crying and crying to lose the face of King Zhao, Princess Lu Yuan jumped in front of them and scolded angrily, "Don't cry!" King Zhao's woman will not cry, no matter whether King Zhao can save the day this time, you are not allowed to cry, stay in the palace of King Zhao on behalf of me, and the palace and King Zhao will go to Chang'an. After that, Queen Zhao and Zhang Ao looked at each other firmly, at this time King Zhao had shackles on his hands, and called guiltily, "Queen......" Queen Zhao forced out a smile, walked over and attached Zhang Ao's hand and patted it lightly as comfort.

More and more ministers gathered in the palace of King Zhao and watched King Zhao suffer, and the ministers felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Someone stepped forward to ask the superintendent if King Zhao's life would be in danger this time, and whether the emperor would execute King Zhao. The superintendent frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, indicating that he did not know. The ministers were terrified in their chests, and they all gathered around to hold King Zhao's hand, and one hundred and ten pairs of eyes were loyally and firmly gathered on King Zhao, in order to show their willingness to live and die with King Zhao. Suddenly, all the ministers on King Zhao's side knelt in front of King Zhao, "King Zhao, please allow us to follow you to Chang'an, we are all former kings and former ministers, King Zhao, you treat us like a father, such a great favor, we dare not forget." And they all prostrated themselves for their lives.

King Zhao with shackles in his hands, it is not easy to help them, Queen Zhao personally lifted them up one by one, and thanked them sincerely, the ministers have to go around looking for ropes to tie each other, the post supervisor Peng said again, "The emperor's edict, the ministers of Zhao State dare to follow King Zhao, the clan will be punished." Immediately frightened away some of the old ministers, the ministers looked at each other in amazement, not knowing what to do.

The superintendent said, "The ministers are moved by the kindness of King Zhao, but His Majesty the Emperor is very angry about this matter, and specially issued this edict saying that he dares to follow King Zhao and Guan Gao to kill on the spot, and we dare not disobey the order, please do not disobey the edict, otherwise we will carry out the order." Several ministers of considerable importance gave each other a look and told everyone to be quiet. At this time, a postal supervisor named Zhang Wu walked up to King Zhao and the queen, and said to the queen with a slight bow of his hand without forgetting the etiquette, "Queen Zhao, the people forbidden by the edict just now also include you, this detention only brought Zhao Wang Ao and Guan Gao who participated in the assassination of the emperor back then, and the rest are not brought, Queen Zhao should not make it difficult for me." ”

Queen Zhao couldn't help but clench the hand holding King Zhao's arm, her eyes were slightly red and she glanced at King Zhao, touched the cold shackles on King Zhao's hands, and couldn't help but shed rolling tears, bowed her head and cried and didn't dare to let others see it, telling herself that King Zhao was the lord of the princes' titles, and asked her father to take the shackles and lock them all the way to Chang'an? Since the husband is guilty, the woman must accompany her husband in his suffering. Princess Lu Yuan suddenly became angry in her heart, she wiped her tears with her face, immediately turned around and changed her face, looked at Zhang Wu in front of her like a hook, glanced at him fiercely, walked up to him in one step to confront him, raised her voice and said angrily, "This palace is not only Queen Zhao, but also the only Princess Lu Yuan of the Han Dynasty, after this palace returns to Chang'an to visit her father and queen mother, do you want to stop it?" ”

Zhang Wu was speechless for a moment, and after being silent for a long time, he gently made a gesture to Princess Lu Yuan and prepared to retreat, but Princess Lu Yuan grabbed his wrist, "King Zhao is the title of prince and prince, please remove the shackles on his hands." Lu Yuan pointed to Zhang Ao's hands and sternly asked Zhang Wu to remove the shackles on Zhang Ao's hands.

Zhang Wu relied on the emperor's support and said firmly, "No! This was an order of the emperor, and King Zhao not only wanted to be escorted into a prisoner's car. ”

Princess Lu Yuan took a step closer in front of Zhang Wu, her eyes were almost split with resentment, and she raised her voice and scolded angrily, "You can't be courteous, you can't punish the doctor, unload!" ”

"Unload!" Seeing that Queen Zhao was quite resolute, the ministers also shouted in unison, and there was a tendency to approach the superintendent. Suddenly, many of the post supervisors were surrounded by the ministers of Zhao State, and the ministers of Zhao State were all like warriors on the battlefield, which made the post supervisors a little afraid, Zhang Wu and they had no idea about each other, looked at each other, and were a little panicked. Despite the emperor's support, a group of warrior-like ministers were blocked in front of them, and the post superintendents had to take Princess Lu Yuan's words to heart. Zhang Wu gave a look to a few of his subordinates after planning for a long time, and then removed the shackles on the hands of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, and Zhang Wu said coldly, "His Royal Highness the king of Zhao, the road is long, let's go." ”

Before leaving the hall, outside the hall came in a dry of people, these people had their hair tied around their necks, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their feet were also bound by chains, and they walked in with difficulty, more than a dozen people came to King Zhao and knelt down, the leader was Guan Gao, Guan Gao knelt and moved to the feet of King Zhao and couldn't suppress his excitement and cried, "King Zhao, Zhao Wu ......" just said the word Zhao Wu, Guan Gao's face was full of resentment and excitement, and there was no following before the words were completed, and Guan Gao said, "The ministers will accompany you to Chang'an." It turned out that after Zhao Wu was reprimanded by Guan Gao that day, he was not good at fighting, so he temporarily promised Guan Gao to agree to go to Chang'an to explain the assassination. At night, Zhao Wu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, saying that he was already a sixtieth year and knew the emperor's temperament, when Han Wang Xinyan Wang Zang Di rebelled without half a minute of investigation, the emperor sent troops to quell the rebellion, and now he is a person who participated in the assassination of the emperor, can he really explain this matter in Chang'an? The emperor was angry, how could he listen to the truth? And the emperor has always looked down on King Zhao, and he is afraid that he will be sentenced to be beheaded as soon as he arrives in Chang'an. Thinking like this, Zhao Wu was scared into a cold sweat, until Tianming didn't close his eyes, after thinking all night, it was better to die at home than to go to Chang'an to be beheaded, and to be able to leave a whole corpse, Zhao Wu knew that Guan Gao was more bloody than himself, and he defended King Zhao, even if he was unsuccessful, he could leave a whole corpse. After thinking about it like this, Zhao Wu did not arrange it for the writer, and hung himself on the beam of the main entrance. The family came to call for dinner and found that Zhao Wu was dead, Zhao Wu's mansion was in a mess, and hurriedly told the news to Guan Gao, at this time Guan Gao was going to the palace with his hair bunched, and heard that Zhao Wu was hanging on the beams of the house on the way, and suddenly Guan Gao was resentful, and he hurried to Zhao Wang's palace without paying much attention to Zhao Wu's servants, but he didn't know that his heart was like a knife along the way.

More than a dozen people knelt in front of King Zhao, King Zhao and the queen helped them up one by one, King Zhao sighed "sigh-", patted Guan Gao's shoulder comfortingly, and asked everyone, "What about your family?" How is it arranged? ”

Guan Gao said, "As before, if the ministers encounter misfortune, they ......" Guan Gao seemed to feel sorry for his family members at this time, lowered his head and gritted his teeth in shame.

The monarch and the minister put it between the words, Zhang Wu urged the king of Zhao to leave, and once again affirmed that no guests were allowed to accompany him, at this time a person with a beard and neck named Meng Shu stood up and said, "Does Zhang Gong oppose Jun Aichen and support Jun?" Is it wrong for a minister to accompany the king in suffering? If Zhang Gong's words are really the emperor's intentions, I am afraid that there will be no loyal ministers in the world. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wu suddenly stammered and acquiesced to Meng Shu and the others following. Zhao Wang Guangao and they went out of the palace, at this time the snow was still falling, and the snowflakes that were fluttering had no intention of stopping, it was already very cold, and a gust of wind blew, which made everyone shiver. Queen Zhao ordered someone to bring a cloak to King Zhao to put on, and King Zhao took the queen's hand and smiled forcefully. There were several prisoner vans parked in front of them, and the prisoner vans were suffocating and frightened on all sides.

King Zhao took the queen's hand down the steps, stepping on the squeaky snowflakes, no one had the intention of appreciating the singing of the snowflakes, but an atmosphere of a strong man who would never return, no one would say a word, very dull and serious. Just about to enter the prisoner car, there was a rapid call in the distance, it was a woman's shout, "Zhao Wang ......" everyone went with the voice, a woman with a strong belly, ran to King Zhao with broken steps, the wind robe behind her was blowing wantonly in the north wind, almost bringing her down, due to physical inconvenience, the woman showed an uncomfortable expression on her face, and still held her waist as small as possible. As soon as King Zhao stepped into the prisoner car, his right foot was immediately lowered, and when he saw the woman running in the distance, he opened his mouth in shock, and ran towards the woman from the queen's side like a gust of wind. In the snow, King Zhao quickly ran to the woman's side, supported her and said in shock, "Zhao Ji ......"

"King Zhao, please come back." Before Zhang Ao could speak, Zhao Ji ignored the inconvenience of her body, and knelt in the snow and pleaded with tears. King Zhao hurriedly helped her up, patted the snowflakes on her body, showed an embarrassed expression, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and did not answer her words directly, only shook her shoulder and said, "Take care, stay in Zhao Guo on behalf of the orphan" was silent for a moment Looking at the flying snow in the distance, King Zhao explained to Zhao Ji again, "If the emperor still detains my family to Chang'an in the future, then you only tell the truth about the year, maybe the emperor can spare your life." ”

Zhao Ji cried and nodded, looking at King Zhao with tears in her eyes, and still refused to let go of Zhang Ao's hand. At this time, Queen Zhao also came to Zhao Ji's side, stroked her back and comforted her, saying that King Zhao just went to Chang'an to explain that the emperor would not condemn King Zhao. Only then did Zhao Ji slowly let go of the hand that was holding King Zhao's clothes, and said in a deep voice, "King Zhao, queen, take care."

Zhang Ao and the queen both nodded, Zhang Ao looked at the Qianyou Hall behind Zhao Ji, the front desk of the hall was full of ministers of Zhao State, Zhang Ao told them from afar, "The public guards Zhao State well, and all major matters are subject to the Imperial Doctor." All the ministers knelt on the platform and kowtowed to Zhang Ao, and said in unison, "The ministers are ordered." ”

Queen Zhao carried Zhang Ao over to the side of the prisoner car, and Guan Gao, Meng Shutianshu and others had already gotten into the car. Zhang Ao and Queen Zhao were in the same car, and after Zhang Ao got into the car, Queen Zhao waved her hand and called a minister of Zhao State, and said to him in her ear, "After Gu leaves, send Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan to Chang'an immediately, and Gu will wait for them in Chang'an." "The minister of Zhao State took the order. Queen Zhao got into the car, and in the prisoner car, King Zhao wrapped the queen in his arms and hugged him tightly, and the two of them wore thick robes.

The prisoner car braved the snow and went from Zhao Guo to Chang'an, the wind and snow were raging, and the sky was roaring.
