At this time, King Zhao suddenly said angrily: "Qin State? Dare to make trouble in my Zhao State, come here, kill all these soldiers of the Qin State for me! ”

King Zhao's order was issued, which caused the shock of everyone present!

After all, although there has always been a dispute between Zhao and Qin, directly killing Qin soldiers in such a public occasion is undoubtedly an extreme provocation to Qin.

"Wait." Just as the guards of the Zhao Kingdom were about to carry out the orders of the King of Zhao, a voice sounded, stopping their movements.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be an old minister of Zhao State, named Xu You, who was a wise and resourceful man of Zhao State, and was deeply respected by King Zhao.

"King Zhao, please stop your anger!" Xu You bowed slightly to King Zhao, and then calmly said to King Zhao: "King Zhao, I understand your anger at the moment, but killing the soldiers of the Qin State is not the best way to solve the problem. ”

"So what?" King Zhao asked impatiently.

"I think we should first get to the bottom of the matter." Xu You said lightly, "In this matter, the soldiers of the Qin State are innocent, they are just obeying orders, and we can negotiate with the King of Qin through diplomatic means to find a way to resolve the dispute peacefully." ”

"Diplomacy?" King Zhao sneered, "Do you think that the Qin State will listen to our diplomatic representations?" ”

"King Zhao, although the Qin State is strong, our Zhao State is not a weak country." Xu You calmly replied, "We can show our determination and strength to the King of Qin through diplomatic means, and at the same time, we can also negotiate to find a mutually acceptable solution." ”

"Okay." King Zhao pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, just do as you say." You go ahead and arrange it. ”

Xu You bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

His gaze was firm, as if he had foreseen an impending diplomatic battle.

Not long after Xu Yu left, Zhao Han said, "Where have you been all these years?" You are the king of a country, but you let Zhao ignore it, is this the so-called King Zhao? ”

Zhao Han said, his face was already iron-blue, he didn't know King Zhao's hardships, but as a courtier of Zhao State, he couldn't accept King Zhao's attitude.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han deeply, he understood his position in Zhao Han's heart, and he also understood Zhao Han's expectations of himself, but he also had his own hardships and helplessness.

"Zhao Han, you don't understand." King Zhao sighed, "I'm not letting Zhao Guo go unchecked, but I can't control it, although I am the king of Zhao State, I am not the real ruler." ”

Zhao Han was stunned, he didn't expect King Zhao to say this, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Remember that night, I dreamed of that mysterious man?" King Zhao looked at Zhao Han, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "He showed me my future and told me that if I want to change the fate of Zhao State, I can't govern the country in a conventional way." ”

"What does he mean by that?" Zhao Han was a little confused, he didn't understand what the mysterious man meant.

"He told me that I had to delegate power to the ministers below and let them run the country. Only in this way can the State of Zhao become truly strong. King Zhao smiled bitterly, "You know what? When I heard this prophecy, I didn't believe it at all. ”

"You're saying you've been following his instructions to govern the country?" Zhao Han looked at King Zhao in shock, "This...... How is this possible? ”

"I know it's hard to believe." King Zhao nodded, "I don't believe it myself." However, when I saw the changes in Zhao Guo, I had to believe it. ”

"Are you saying that all these years of prosperity in the Zhao Kingdom have been due to the instructions of that mysterious man?" Zhao Han still didn't believe it.

"Yes." King Zhao sighed, "You may not understand, but I believe this is the best way, I need to get more people involved in the management of the country, only in this way can we make the Zhao Kingdom truly strong." ”

Zhao Han listened stunned, he didn't know what to say, he understood King Zhao's distress, and he understood his helplessness, but he still couldn't accept such an explanation.

"So, I've not been ignorant all these years." King Zhao looked at Zhao Han with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I am governing the country according to the instructions of that mysterious person." I hope you understand. ”

Zhao Han was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed, "It's not that I don't understand, but I'm disappointed." ”

"Disappointed?" King Zhao was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I'm disappointed." Zhao Han looked at King Zhao, "I thought you were my king and the person I wanted to be loyal to, but now, I found out that I was wrong." ”

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han, he knew what he was talking about, and he also understood that his actions had indeed disappointed many people.

"I know I've let you down." King Zhao sighed, "I really don't have any other choice. I hope you understand. ”

Zhao Han looked at King Zhao, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, King Zhao had his bitterness,

Zhao Han said angrily: "So, what have you done all these years?" ”

King Zhao replied: "Over the years, I have been incognito, rotten, and alive, this is because I feel that I am not a king, I can't even protect my own son, but I want to send you to the Qin State, become a hostage, and when you are attacked by the Qin State, I will only admit it, do you say that a person like me is really suitable to be the king of the Zhao State?" ”

When Zhao Han heard these words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Once upon a time, the person in front of him was still the high-spirited King Zhao, but now he has become so decadent and lost.

took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, you don't have to be like this, you have already done everything you can, if it were me, I might not even be able to do one-tenth of you." ”

King Zhao smiled bitterly: "You don't know, how have I come over all these years, I often ask myself, how can I be a real king?" I kept asking myself questions, searching for answers, only to find that I couldn't find them at all. I can't even protect my own son, what else can I talk about? ”

Zhao Han was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly spoke: "King Zhao, you don't have to be like this. You've done everything you can. You have governed our Zhao State very well and made our people live a good life. It's not easy for you. ”

King Zhao shook his head and sighed: "These are not enough, far from enough, what I need is not only a king who can govern the country, but also a king who can lead our Zhao country to a stronger one, and I, obviously not that kind of person." ”

Zhao Han looked at King Zhao, a trace of firmness and determination flashed in his eyes, he suddenly knelt in front of King Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, you don't have to be like this. It's not easy for you. What I want to tell you is that no matter what happens, I will be on your side and stand by you in all your decisions. ”

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han, and a trace of emotion and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He gently helped Zhao Han up, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Han'er, you are my prince, an eternal friend, and I will remember your words." ”

With that, the two hugged each other tightly, everything was silent, the night outside the window was getting darker, and the lights inside were still bright.

King Zhao suddenly burst into tears!

This made Zhao Han very incomprehensible and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

At this time, King Zhao patted his thigh and said, "Han'er, do you know that I am now over half a hundred years old!" But there is still no achievement, in today's world, the war between countries, Zhao State in my hands can not become strong, one day will be annexed by the Qin State, at that time, the people of Zhao State will live in the water and fire, I cry because of this. ”

Zhao Han listened to King Zhao's words, and couldn't help but feel a deep sadness in his heart.

He stepped forward, grabbed King Zhao's arm, and comforted: "Father, don't be so sad, Zhao has always been strong in my eyes, we have brave soldiers, wise strategists, we are not weaker than Qin." ”

King Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Han'er, this world, not depends on how much courage and wisdom you have, but on your strength, the reason why the Qin State is strong is because their strength surpasses ours, their soldiers are well-trained, their weapons are extremely sharp, and their strategies are clever and far-reaching, while we, our soldiers are loose and disorderly, our weapons are old, and our strategies are also childish and powerless. ”

Zhao Han was silent, what King Zhao said was the truth.

It is true that Zhao is lagging behind Qin in many aspects, but this does not mean that they cannot resist Qin's aggression.

A strong fighting spirit suddenly surged in his heart, he wanted to do something for the Zhao State, and he did not want to see the Zhao State being annexed by the Qin State.

"Father, I will definitely do my best to help Zhao become stronger." Zhao Han said firmly.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

He patted Zhao Han's shoulder and said: "Han'er, if you have this heart, I am very satisfied, I believe that you have the ability to do it, however, you have to remember that if you want Zhao Guo to be strong, it is not an overnight effort, it takes time, patience, and wisdom and courage." ”

Zhao Han nodded and said, "Father, I will remember." ”

At this time, Zhao Han asked again: "My queen mother is still locked up in the concubine's mansion, and you have let her live alone in such a desolate place for so many years, I know, what are your intentions?" ”

King Zhao glanced at Zhao Han lightly and said, "She stayed voluntarily." ”

"Voluntary?" Zhao Leng laughed, "What kind of place is the Fallen Concubine Mansion?" Who else but you, who is not a human or a ghost? What happened to my mother? ”

King Zhao explained: "She doesn't have anything to do, everything is her willing, I didn't force her, she stays in the concubine's mansion, I can rest assured." ”

Zhao Han's eyes shot anger, "What do you mean?" ”

King Zhao said: "I know you care about her, but you don't have to worry anymore, she volunteered to stay to guard the black hole." ”

Zhao Han was shocked, "Guarding the black hole? You—how can you get her to do such a thing? ”

King Zhao said: "She is my princess, I have the right to let her do anything, you don't have to waste your time anymore, now, don't you understand your situation?" ”

As he spoke, King Zhao had an extra golden chain in his hand at some point.

Zhao Han was stunned!

He knows the chains!

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han with a smile and said, "This chain is specially used to lock you, although now your strength has recovered, but I believe that the prohibition on this chain can still suppress you, as long as you are willing to try......"

Zhao Han involuntarily took two steps back, his eyes revealing a look of horror.

Although he was deeply skeptical of King Zhao's words, however, his reason told him that he was definitely not King Zhao's opponent!

So, Zhao Han said: "It seems that my mother's affairs in the Tomb Concubine Mansion were indeed voluntary, and I didn't blame you." ”

At this time, Zhao Han had already realized that only when he became strong could he save the queen mother from the concubine's mansion, and King Zhao ...... Changing his face is faster than turning a book, which really makes people can't believe his nonsense.

After a while, King Zhao said coldly: "Wait, don't leave yet!" This time you killed the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dragon Gang, this matter has not been cleared up, and you are not allowed to leave. ”

King Zhao's words were full of coldness, and his eyes revealed a fierce murderous aura.

He walked in front of Zhao Han who came to stop him, looked him in the eyes, and said coldly, "You want to go?" It's not that easy! ”

Zhao Han's heart froze, and he could feel the strong momentum emanating from King Zhao's body, which gave him an ominous premonition in his heart.

He barely calmed down and asked with a solemn face, "King Zhao, what do you want?" ”

King Zhao smiled coldly and said, "You killed the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dragon Gang, this account must be settled, if you want to leave here today, unless you step over my corpse." ”

Zhao Han's heart sank, and now he was in a desperate situation, he took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then said slowly: "King Zhao, I am not the opponent of the Tianlong Gang, I admit that it was a mistake for me to kill him, and I am willing to pay the price for it." ”

King Zhao snorted and said, "Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" If you are truly willing to pay the price, bring me that child. ”

King Zhao saw the panic and helplessness in Zhao Gang's eyes, and he sneered in his heart.

Then he slowly pulled out his sword from his waist and said coldly: "Your people killed the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dragon Gang, then I will repay it with that child's life!" ”
