Hearing this, Lord Lu was stunned!

Now that it's like this, no matter what, his third prince won't spare him, and now his only life-saving straw is Zhao Han, maybe holding Zhao Han's thigh, he can get a glimmer of life.

"King Zhao, it's all my fault, but I can't do anything about it." Lord Lu said.

At this time, Zhao Heng stared at Lord Lu fiercely and said, "Lord Lu, don't you spit ivory in your mouth and say something that you don't have, otherwise, with my father here, you will definitely die on the spot." ”

Zhao Heng moved King Zhao out just to put pressure on Lord Lu.

But...... Lord Lu is not afraid!

This time he was going to break the jar and break it, and let it out.

King Zhao looked at Lord Lu who was kneeling in front of him at this time, and said: "Lord Lu, you raise your head and speak, today is the Spring Festival, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as you tell the truth, I may still be open to you." ”

These words made Lord Lu emboldened, and Lord Lu said, "Actually...... In fact, this competition is unfair. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Heng on the side was completely uncomfortable, he stared at Lord Lu nervously, and then said to King Zhao: "Father, don't listen to his nonsense, he is already crazy!" ”

King Zhao glared at Zhao Heng fiercely. said angrily: "It's not your right to speak yet, Lord Lu, you continue to say, what the hell is going on?" ”

At this time, Lord Lu glanced at Zhao Heng in horror, and then said: "Actually, the competition three years ago was also unfair, because the third prince had tampered with Zhao Han's horse before the competition, so in the process of the competition, the prince would soon fall off the horse, which caused the prince to fail in the competition." ”

When Zhao Heng heard this revelation, his face suddenly turned pale.

He looked at Lord Lu, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Then, he turned to Zhao Han suddenly, his eyes were like knives, as if he was about to pierce Zhao Han.

"Lord Lu, do you know what you're talking about?" Zhao Heng's voice was cold and full of majesty.

Zhao Han looked at King Zhao's eyes, and his heart trembled!

He knew that once this secret was revealed, his position as the prince would be in jeopardy! However, he gritted his teeth anyway.

However, for Zhao Heng, who interjected again, King Zhao no longer had any patience.

Syllable!

King Zhao directly slapped Zhao Heng in the face, and said angrily: "Did I let you speak?" If what Lord Lu said is true, that is, if you did something to Zhao Han's horse to make him lose the competition, you will definitely have good fruit to eat. ”

King Zhao's voice shocked the entire ceremony, and for a while, only his roar was left on the stage.

Zhao Heng was slapped by King Zhao and almost couldn't stand steadily, he covered his hot cheeks, lowered his head, and said, "Father, wronged, I didn't ......"

"Even now, you're still quibbling!" Hearing Zhao Heng shirk like this, King Zhao was even more furious.

"Zhao Han, this king asks you, three years ago, did you lose the competition because the horse stumbled in the competition?" King Zhao walked up to Zhao Han and asked.

Zhao Han raised his head, glanced at King Zhao, and then at Zhao Heng, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Seeing that Zhao Han didn't answer, King Zhao even decided in his heart that this matter was related to Zhao Heng, and he snorted and sneered: "Until now, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" ”

Zhao Han didn't say it, he knew very well in his heart that if he said it, he would leave a bad impression of holding a grudge in King Zhao's heart, and it would seem that he was not good enough.

So Zhao Han just smiled indifferently and said, "Father, it's all in the past, so there's no need to mention it again!" ”

Sure enough, King Zhao was greatly amazed by Zhao Han's mind!

King Zhao looked at Zhao Han appreciatively, his eyes revealing deep relief and appreciation.

"Han'er, you've really grown up." King Zhao was full of emotion, "Your tolerance and generosity make me deeply grateful. You can focus on the overall situation and not care about the gains and losses in the past, this kind of bearing, I really appreciate it. ”

Zhao Han bowed his head humbly and smiled indifferently: "Father has won the award!" That's just what I'm supposed to do as a human servant. ”

King Zhao nodded, and his admiration for Zhao Han in his heart was even greater.

He knew that Zhao Han's generosity and wisdom were not only respect and loyalty to him, but also love and dedication to Zhao Guo.

"You know what, Han'er?" King Zhao's eyes flashed with excitement, "This kind of mind of yours is exactly what our Zhao Kingdom needs, and your wisdom and bearing will become the treasure of our Zhao Kingdom." ”

Zhao Han couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this!

King Zhao would have such a high opinion of him?

He looked down and thought for a moment, then looked at King Zhao firmly, his eyes full of determination and gratitude.

"Father, I will work harder to live up to your expectations." Zhao Han's voice said firmly, "I will use my wisdom and bearing to make more contributions to you and the people of Zhao Kingdom." ”

After hearing this, King Zhao nodded and smiled with joy!

Zhao Han has grown into a wise and responsible person, who can take on greater responsibilities and make greater contributions to the people of Zhao State.

"I believe in you, Han'er." King Zhao looked at Zhao Han affectionately, "I believe that you can become a great monarch and lead our country to a more prosperous and powerful future." ”

This is the greatest praise and affirmation for Zhao Han.

On the side, Zhao Heng, who had just been slapped by King Zhao, saw that King Zhao appreciated Zhao Han so much, which made him feel that his position as the prince was even more dangerous, because judging from King Zhao's satisfaction with Zhao Han, there was a tendency to give the position of prince directly to Zhao Han.

How could he not be in a hurry?

At this time, Zhao Heng said: "Father, you are really biased, I was framed and you still want to beat me?" But I praised Zhao Han a lot, saying that I did something to Zhao Han's horse three years ago to make him lose to me, but is there any evidence now? What evidence is there that I tampered with Zhao Han's horse three years ago? ”

Father Zhao looked at Zhao Heng, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Heng'er, you are a prince, you should know what is important, you have done something to Zhao Han's horse, do you still want to deny it?" I hit you because you interjected. ”

Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and resolutely denied it, "I didn't touch Zhao Han's horse, father, I know that you love Zhao Han, but you won't make something out of nothing and wronged me." ”

Father Zhao's brows tightened, he obviously didn't expect Zhao Heng to refute so resolutely.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Since you don't admit it, let the evidence do the talking." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Heng sneered: "The horse three years ago is already dead, it was Zhao Han who fell off the horse by himself, if you want to find evidence, where can you find it?" ”

At this time, King Zhao set his eyes on Lord Lu and said, "Lord Lu, what you said is really unfounded!" Since you framed the third prince Zhao Heng, I will kill you now! ”

Before King Zhao finished speaking, the guards beside him walked towards Lord Lu, the long sword in his hand was as cold as ice.

Lord Lu's face turned pale suddenly, he looked at the approaching guards in fear, but shouted frantically: "King Zhao spare his life!" Wechen is wronged! Wechen has proof! ”。

King Zhao frowned and said coldly, "Oh? Do you still have proof? Then you take it out, or I'll kill you right away!" ”

Lord Lu swallowed his saliva, his frightened eyes swept around, and suddenly pointed in a direction, and said in a trembling voice: "The evidence is on that horse......"

At this time, Lord Lu pointed to the horse used by Zhao Han for the competition.

This horse was also done with hands and feet, otherwise, Zhao Han would definitely not have fallen off the horse when he shot the first arrow.

However, at this time, Lord Lu was also very apprehensive in his heart.

Because Zhao Han hit the bull's-eye in the next nine arrows, and all the signs of this horse are telling Lord Lu that there is nothing wrong with Zhao Han's horse.

"It's just a gamble! Bet to win and live, bet to lose and blood is splashed here! Lord Lu said silently in his heart.

His life is already rubbing on the tip of the knife, and he can only gamble to see how his luck goes!

He was flustered, but ...... At this time, Zhao Heng's heart was even more panicked!

If the evidence is really found, Zhao Heng knows very well that his position as the prince will be completely cold.

This...... How could it be the result he wanted? He is trying to win the position of prince, but the current situation is really not optimistic.

Zhao Heng looked at the horse. I can't wait for this horse to die directly in front of his eyes, so that he can logically kill Lord Lu and torture his wife and children.

But the horse didn't die!

Lord Lu is not dead, with King Zhao here, Zhao Heng does not dare to poison Lord Lu directly, nor does he dare to kill the horse directly.

King Zhao said: "Okay, since you said that the evidence is on that horse, Lord Lu, you said that the third prince did something to the horse, so this task of finding evidence will be handed over to you, but I will keep watching you until you find out the evidence." ”

Lord Lu saluted slightly and said, "Okay, thank you King Zhao for your trust." ”

Then, Lord Lu soon came to the location where the horse was, and at this time he noticed that Zhao Han's gaze was falling on the horse's feet, so Lord Lu was not ambiguous, and looked directly at Zhao Han's gaze, and then reached out and touched the horse's feet.

Evidence?

He found the evidence!

There are obvious wounds on the horse's feet, which is not enough to explain anything, the best thing to show that Zhao Heng did to the horse is that a tendon on the horse's foot is broken.

Master Lu shouted loudly: "King Zhao, the horse's foot has broken a tendon, it is the hands and feet of the third prince, the third prince made people break a tendon of the horse's foot, so now that the evidence has been found, King Zhao, can you let me go?" ”

King Zhao looked at Lord Lu and said, "I won't kill you!" He immediately looked at Zhao Heng and said coldly: "Zhao Heng, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Zhao Heng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger and killing intent when he looked at Lord Lu.

He originally thought that he could use Lord Lu's wit to resolve this crisis, but he didn't expect to fall short in the end.

"King Zhao, I don't know about this." Zhao Heng opened his mouth and said, "I didn't know that anyone would do such a thing, and I didn't instruct anyone to break the horse's hamstrings. ”

"Zhao Heng, you don't want to act anymore." Lord Lu sneered, "In order to compete for the position of the prince, you did whatever it took to frame your own crown prince, how could you not know about this matter now?" And I heard that your third prince once threatened to abolish the crown prince. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I have never said such a thing before, I have never done such a thing, and I have never instructed anyone to hurt the prince." ”

"Zhao Heng, you don't have to quibble anymore." King Zhao said, "I believe that this matter was instigated by you behind your back, and I also believe that you can do anything for the position of the crown prince." But I can give you a chance, if you can confess your mistake to the prince within an hour, then I will believe you for the time being, otherwise, you will wait to bear my wrath! ”

After King Zhao finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Heng.

And Zhao Heng stood in place with a gloomy face, and he was also very angry and helpless in his heart.

Lord Lu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his life was temporarily saved.

However, he also knew that this matter was not over, and King Zhao's suspicion of Zhao Heng had not been eliminated.

Zhao Heng's current situation is also very dangerous, and he needs to apologize as soon as possible to get out of this crisis.

So Lord Lu spoke, "Since King Zhao has given you a chance, you should take advantage of it." I can help you apologize to the prince. ”

Zhao Heng listened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes!

Zhao Heng said angrily: "Presumptuous! It's not your turn to speak as a dog slave here, and it's impossible for me to apologize to the prince, because I didn't do anything, why should I apologize? I didn't do anything to the prince's horse, is this to force me to admit that I did something to the prince's horse, so that he fell off the horse? Father, I will never apologize! ”

Zhao Heng's words were fierce, making everyone present feel his resoluteness and stubbornness.

There was an unyielding light in his eyes, as if he would not compromise no matter how much he was pressed.

King Zhao glanced at Zhao Heng deeply, and was surprised by this son's stubbornness and persistence.

Although he understood Zhao Heng's position, he also knew that if he couldn't properly handle this issue, it would not only cause deep contradictions between Zhao Heng and the crown prince, but also cause unease in the entire imperial court.

"Zhao Heng, do you know what you're talking about?" King Zhao's voice was majestic and calm, "Are you trying to say that the prince's horse stumbled, wasn't it your hands and feet?" ”

"Father, I really haven't done anything!" Zhao Heng said.

Hearing this, King Zhao was silent for a moment.

He looked at Zhao Heng again, but he couldn't find any flaws on Zhao Heng's face.

"In that case," King Zhao said slowly, "then I will investigate the truth of this matter." If someone really deliberately created an incident in an attempt to drive a wedge between our royal relationship, I won't let him go! ”

Hearing this decision, Zhao Heng and the crown prince both breathed a sigh of relief!

At this time, Zhao Han, who had not spoken all the time and was calm and composed, said secretly in his heart: "I can't imagine that Zhao Heng, this bastard, the city is really deep!" ”
