After subduing the city guards and appointing Xiang Shaolong as the new city guard, Handan City was initially stabilized. The next most important thing is, of course, the funeral of King Zhao Xiaocheng and the question of his successor.

During this period, Zhao Ya, who had no position or power, turned out to be the principal, whether it was the funeral of King Zhao Xiaocheng, or the recall of generals from all walks of life, or the resettlement of officials from all walks of life in Handan City, all of which were decided by Li Xiang in one word.

This situation is of course abnormal, even if the people of the Zhao royal family are killed almost without men, even if the officials of Handan City suffer serious losses, it should not be a woman in charge. Even though this woman seems to be very shrewd and capable at the moment, she is a woman after all, which is not in line with etiquette.

However, knowing that it was not etiquette, no one stood up and said a word. Especially at present, the two important ministers of the court, a military general Xiang Shaolong and a civil official Guo Kai, both strongly support Li Xiang, who can say anything? Even if you want to say something, look at those ministers who suddenly don't come to the court, and Li Xiang's ghostly body, no one dares to say anything.

However, if these people are willing to endure, it is not impossible to do so. They were waiting for two people, one was Lian Po and the other was Li Mu. The prestige of these two people in the army is extremely high, and even King Zhao Xiaocheng has been trying to move them, which shows the status of these two people in Zhao State. As long as the two of them come back and say a word casually, Zhao Ya will have to roll down from the position of the principal, so they are not in a hurry, just wait.

For these two people, Li Xiang is actually looking forward to it. In his plan, if Zhao Guo wants to become strong, these two people are indispensable talents. As for whether they will support themselves on the throne. Li Xiang is not worried at all, he is very sure to "convince" them!

As for now. Li Xiang's attention was completely on the two women. These two women, one is named Zhao Ni. One is named Zhao Qian. They all went to the dinner that day, and they were all unfortunately dragged out by Zhao Mu as members of the Zhao clan to be killed. Fortunately, both of them are women, and even if they want to kill, they will be at the back. Before killing them, Li Xiang's counterattack began, and his life was saved.

It's just that although his life was saved, his physical condition was very poor. Zhao Ni's son Gongzi Pan was killed as a child of the royal family, and all Zhao Ni's hopes were in her son, and now that her son is dead, she is naturally like a dead heart. Zhao Qian is similar. He is the daughter of King Zhao Xiaocheng, who has no mother since he was a child, and is not close to other siblings, so it can be said that the only relative in the world is her father. But her father was the first to be killed, and she felt that she was no different from an orphan now, and her spirit was praised.

For these two beauties, Li Xiang actually has a good impression. Today's palace is full of extravagant **** people, even King Zhao is no exception. Only these two women are the two clear streams in the sludge. So Li Xiang didn't want to see them wither, so he would inevitably have to put more effort into it.

It's just that Li Xiang obviously doesn't have many ways to deal with women, and he comforted her several times. Even the "Soul Shifting Great Law" has been used, and the effect is not good. In the end, there was no trick, and Li Xiang could only find Xiang Shaolong. Let him go and comfort the second daughter. There are this breed-horses, no matter how decadent the woman is. It's going to be uplifting.

Finally, Lian Po and Li Mu returned to Handan City. The two of them. One led the army at the junction of Zhao and Yan, and the other resisted foreign tribes in northern Xinjiang, which was not the same way at all, but now they returned to Handan together. However, Li Xiang still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and seemed to be unmoved. What should be done in normal times, how is it still so smooth and unmistakable.

After Lian Po and Li Mu returned to Handan, they also behaved decently, did not associate with anyone, and refused to visit anyone who came to visit. After resting at home for a night, they changed into filial piety clothes and entered the palace to worship King Zhao Xiaocheng.

The two of them were the last important ministers of Zhao to rush back, so after they worshipped, the funeral of King Zhao Xiaocheng began. The city guards dispatched tens of thousands of horses to escort the coffin forty miles away from the city, and buried it in a cemetery that had been selected a long time ago, with the rites of the princes.

In this era, funerals must have sacrifices. And the princes are second only to the Son of Heaven, so there should be slaves to accompany the burial. But how could Li Xiang let this happen? So he pulled Zhao Mu and his family together and replaced the slaves as sacrifices. Even Xiang Shaolong had nothing to say at this time, Zhao Mu was innocent of his death, although his family was innocent, but Zhao Mu's crime was too heavy, and his family could not let it go no matter what. Since they are all dead, it is better to serve as a sacrifice, so that they can save a few truly innocent people.

After the funeral was completed, the question of the heir to the throne had to be put on the table. The current problem is that all the descendants of the Zhao royal family, as well as all the men who are relatively close to the bloodline, have all been killed. The people who were pushed out to inherit the throne don't know how many generations have passed, and they don't even know if it's royal blood. And although the men of the royal family are dead, there are still several women alive, and they are still very good.

As a representative, Li Xiang unceremoniously recommended himself, saying how he set things right and took down Zhao Mu, a traitor, and how he maintained the operation of the court under the most difficult circumstances. Although he is a woman, who stipulates that a woman cannot inherit the throne? I, Zhao Guo, have always dared to be the first in the world since the Zhao Wuling King Hufu rode and arched, why can't I break the routine this time and let a woman sit on the throne?

Besides, look at those scraps, because they are relatives of the royal family for an unknown number of generations, they have long since declined, and they usually live like ordinary farmers, and they have no education at all. Now let them suddenly ascend to the throne, do you want them to lead the Zhao Kingdom into the abyss of destruction?

In the end, if you want to destroy the Zhao State, or let the Zhao State rise again under the leadership of a wise Zhao King, everyone chooses!

Under Li Xiang's aggressive questioning, even the old ministers dare not say that they would rather destroy the Zhao Kingdom than let the heroine be in power, right? Moreover, when Li Xiang gave a speech, he added a slight special effect of "Soul Shifting Dafa", which made many old ministers change their positions, and felt that Li Xiang's shrewdness and courage in this palace coup were enough to make a qualified queen.

It doesn't really matter what other people think, the most important thing is the opinions of Lian Po and Li Mu. It's just that after listening to Li Xiang's speech, they were not moved, and still maintained Gujing's face.

In the end, Xiang Shaolong couldn't hold his breath, and took the initiative to stand up and say a few words for Li Xiang, and showed his support. And during this period of time, Guo Kai, who has been known as Li Xiang's right-hand man with Xiang Shaolong, has become a blindfolded partridge at this time, shrinking in the corner without saying a word, not knowing what he is thinking.

For Xiang Shaolong, Lian Po and Li Mu paid more attention than paying attention to Li Xiang. As young talents who have recently emerged from the Zhao military, the two military bigwigs will naturally not miss it. Although it was the first time they met, Xiang Shaolong's appearance was excellent, and he had an upright and brave hero image at a glance, which left a good first impression on the two bigwigs. But now is not a good time to train juniors, so let's get in touch with it slowly in the future.

Since Lian Po and Li Mu have not expressed their position, the selection of the heir to the throne can only be postponed temporarily. And during the period of postponement, it is time for all parties to show their powers. Not only were Lian Po and Li Mu's mansions harassed a lot, but even Xiang Shaolong and Guo Kai were persuaded wherever they went, and they did their best to make them change their positions or firm their positions.

And Li Xiang was not idle, assassins began to infiltrate his mansion, although they all came under the guise of avenging Zhao Mu, but Li Xiang could see that many of these assassins were spies from other countries.

After the death of King Zhao Xiaocheng, Li Xiang sent people to inform Zhou Tianzi and the monarchs of the countries. But because the other countries were too far away, by the time they got the news and sent envoys to mourn, King Zhao Xiaocheng had already stinked. Therefore, King Zhao Xiaocheng's funeral did not wait for them at all, and he was buried directly. When those envoys came, they could also serve as congratulations to the new King Zhao on his accession to the throne. Normally, the envoys who go on an envoy for this kind of thing have both duties.

However, before the envoys came, the spies of various countries started to move, which is not a good phenomenon. You must know that such a big move is easy to expose the spies who have finally lurked, and now they are not only moving, but they are still moving so much at all costs, I am afraid that there is a bigger plan.

For spies, Li Xiang is actually their nemesis. He has supernatural powers such as heavenly eye communication, heavenly ear communication, and his heart communication, what spy can hide in front of him? But the problem is that the power level of this plane is too low, and Li Xiang's divine power is also suppressed very badly, only a few hundred meters away. So Li Xiang simply hid and called Xiang Shaolong and asked him to be in charge of catching spies.

Xiang Shaolong is a special soldier, similar to a spy to some extent. Moreover, Xiang Shaolong is now a city guard, and he is responsible for the security of the whole city, and the spy problem is under his control, who will he hand over this troublesome matter to?

Xiang Shaolong was not too troublesome, but was excited that the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance methods he had learned in modern times had finally come into use. So he happily accepted the task and led the city guards to start a large-scale search in the city.

The matter of spies is just a small problem of scabies, and who will sit on the throne is the big question. Soon, the second meeting was held. Just when everyone thought that everyone was going to argue for a few more hours, Lian Po and Li Mu suddenly got up and said, "We, support Mrs. Ya to succeed to the position of King Zhao and become the first queen of our Zhao Kingdom!" I believe that under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen, my Zhao Kingdom will definitely prosper! (To be continued.) )
