Time is unforgiving.

Soon, Zhao Heng's matter of becoming the crown prince stabilized in the imperial city, but Zhao Heng had greater ambitions, and he was already very anxious in his heart, power! It's really a crazy thing, for the position of the prince, Zhao Heng has long been hungry and thirsty.

And if you want to get the position of prince, then frame the queen, as long as the queen dies, no one in the imperial city will dare to stop him from becoming the prince.

O prince!

That means that he will become the next King of Zhao.

Soon, Zhao Heng caught the way to frame the queen, one day, Zhao Heng complained to King Zhao: "Father, now we can't sit still, Zhao Han has betrayed Zhao State now, he must be colluding with King Qin in Qin State, how to invade our Zhao State, we need to deal with it." ”

After hearing this, King Zhao frowned, took a deep breath, and said: "Zhao Heng, this matter is not trivial, we must act cautiously, the Qin State has always been eyeing our Zhao State, if it is really as you said, then we must formulate countermeasures as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Father, I suggest that on the one hand, we strengthen the defense of Zhao State, and on the other hand, we also need to find evidence to expose Zhao Han's betrayal, so that the people and officials know that we are not weak and can be bullied." ”

King Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Good idea." However, we need to be careful not to let Zhao Han perceive our actions. In addition, we also need to send people to the Qin State to secretly observe the collusion between the King of Qin and Zhao Han. ”

So, King Zhao and Zhao Heng began to conspire.

The king of Zhao ordered people to strengthen the defenses of the state of Zhao, and secretly sent an envoy to the state of Qin to secretly observe the collusion between the king of Qin and Zhao Han.

At the same time, Zhao Heng also secretly found some supporters among officials and ordinary people to expose Zhao Han's betrayal.

Soon after, the envoy returned from Qin and reported to the king of Zhao: "The king of Qin and Zhao Han did collude, and they planned to send troops from Qin to attack Zhao in the near future. ”

King Zhao was shocked when he heard this, he took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He knew he had to act fast!

So, he summoned all the officials and ministers, publicly exposed Zhao Han's betrayal, and stated that he had decided to immediately execute Zhao Han in order to maintain the peace of the Zhao state.

After hearing this, everyone talked about it!

Some people expressed support for King Zhao's decision, but others expressed opposition, believing that the truth of the matter should be investigated before making a decision. However, King Zhao had made up his mind, and he ordered his soldiers to immediately capture Zhao Han and put him to death.

However, this messenger was bought by Zhao Heng, and now Zhao Han is still hiding in the shadows, no one knows where he is, and it is really not easy to arrest Zhao Han.

In other words, Zhao Han is in the imperial city, right under Zhao Heng's nose!

"King Zhao, although now we know that Zhao Han is in the Qin State, but it is not easy to kill him, now that Zhao Han has the blessing of the King of Qin, it is easy for us to kill him, and I also heard that Zhao Han's strength is very strong, not ordinary people can deal with it, what should we do?"

King Zhao listened to the report of his subordinates, and his heart was full of worries.

Indeed, now that Zhao Han is under the protection of the Qin State, it is not easy to kill him.

Moreover, it is known from rumors that Zhao Han's strength is unfathomable, which increases the difficulty of assassinating him.

"King Zhao, now we have two choices." The subordinate continued, "First, we can try to unite other countries, especially those with enemies with Qin, to exert pressure to force the King of Qin to hand over Zhao Han. Second, we can send elite assassins to carry out assassinations. ”

King Zhao frowned, thinking about the possibility of these two options.

Both options are risky, and it will take time to unite other countries, and they will not necessarily succeed.

And sending assassins to assassinate them, although quick, is not very likely to succeed.

"King Zhao, his subordinates have a plan." Another subordinate whispered, "We can ostensibly agree to King Qin's proposal, and use this as a condition to let Zhao Han leave the Qin State. As soon as Zhao Han leaves the Qin State, we can take the opportunity to attack. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he felt that this plan might work.

In this way, it can not only avoid being a direct enemy of Qin, but also temporarily lure Zhao Han out of Qin. 、

However, he also understood that this required him to engage in a psychological war with King Qin, and he needed to fully demonstrate his wisdom and patience.

So, King Zhao decided to adopt this plan.

He began to actively communicate with the King of Qin, postponing the marriage under various pretexts.

At the same time, he secretly sent assassins to wait for an opportunity.

This battle, whether it is psychological warfare or actual actions, will be an uphill battle.

But for the sake of the people's peace, he must do everything in his power to fight for it.

However, a letter from King Qin made King Zhao directly stunned!

King Qin said in the letter: "Zhao Han is not in my Qin country, if you see him and help me kill him, he killed tens of thousands of our Qin soldiers, this enemy of my prince is written down, and I hope you don't want to kill him because Zhao Han is the prince of your Zhao country and your son, if you kill Zhao Han King Zhao, my tiger and wolf army will set foot on your Zhao country." ”

From the letter, King Zhao knew that Zhao Han was hiding!

King Zhao looked at the threat of King Qin in the letter, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart.

Although he knew that Zhao Han had committed an unforgivable crime, as a father, he still couldn't bear to kill his son with his own hands.

However, King Zhao also knew that if he did not kill Zhao Han, the Qin State would use this as an excuse to launch a large-scale war, and the people of the Zhao State would suffer endless suffering and disasters.

After weighing the pros and cons, King Zhao finally decided to sacrifice his son in order to appease the anger of King Qin and avoid war.

So, King Zhao summoned all the ministers and generals and announced his decision.

"I am the king of Zhao State, I have the responsibility to protect the people of my Zhao State, although Zhao Han is my son, I can't let him be an excuse for Qin State to attack us, I order you to go find Zhao Han immediately and bring him to see me."

The ministers and generals were very shocked by King Zhao's decision!

So, they left the palace one after another and began to look for Zhao Han.

Soon after, they found Zhao Han.

He didn't know anything about what was happening in the Imperial City of Zhao.

When they told him that his father was going to see him, he was very strange and uneasy.

But when he learned that his father had summoned him to make him die, he felt extreme sadness and despair.

"I am not guilty, do you say that I am guilty and guilty? Since King Zhao wants to kill me, then let him come over in person, I have to ask, why did he kill me? Zhao Han said angrily.

Hearing this, several generals glanced at each other and said: "Zhao Han, you killed the Qin soldiers, and now the King of Qin is angry with you, if you are not, the Qin soldiers will attack our Zhao State, so you must die, is this reason enough?" ”

After Zhao Han heard this, he sneered and said, "Qin Bing? They are not good people, they invaded the land of our country, killed our people, and the Qin soldiers I killed were those enemies who launched an attack on Zhao and tried to annex Zhao. Should I just be tied up and let you hand me over to the King of Qin in order to protect my territory? ”

After hearing this, several generals were speechless.

What Zhao Han said was the truth, however, they also understood that Zhao Han had to die.

Because Zhao Han is the hope of Zhao and the only one who can resist the invasion of Qin.

And now, he killed the Qin soldiers, which has caused the wrath of the King of Qin, if Zhao Han does not die, then the Qin soldiers will attack the Zhao State, which will bring great disasters to the Zhao State.

Thinking of this, a general spoke: "Zhao Han, we know that you are here to protect the territory. However, your killing of Qin Bing has already aroused the wrath of the King of Qin. If you die, the King of Qin will not attack our Zhao State again. We hope you will understand that you must make sacrifices in order to protect our Zhao Kingdom. ”

After Zhao Han heard this, he sneered and said, "Let me be captured, and let you hand me over to the hands of King Qin?" No, I never! If you want me to die, you will go together! ”
