At the moment when Sima Banru's hands were about to touch the long sword on the table, Sima Zhao's big hand fell firmly on his face.

At the same time, a samurai also kicked him in the ass.

Sima Banru shook and collapsed next to the table.

"Evil obstacles, still unrepentant, dare to be so rude." Sima Zhao roared.

The warrior came over, and couldn't help but force Sima Banru's hands behind his back and hold them down hard.

Sima Zhao walked over, took the brocade box on his body, opened it, and saw that the handwriting on it had been modified, and he trembled with anger.

"If it weren't for what the old man saw with his own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, you guy, you would have already wanted to win my title as king." As he spoke, he couldn't help but come over again and slap Sima Banru in the face a few times.

Sima Banru was beaten and dizzy.

An internal attendant ran in and grabbed Sima Zhao's hand.

"The king is still angry for the time being, if you want the Marquis of Yicheng to do this, he must also be instructed by someone, you still have to find out the people behind the scenes first, so as not to cause trouble again."

Sima Zhao's hand stopped in mid-air.

"You don't say that the Lone King has forgotten. Come on, go to Luyong's mansion quickly, capture all his family, detain him first, and wait for the old man to go to court tomorrow to ask His Majesty to issue an order to exterminate his three clans. Sima Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, Lu Yong's whole family was still controlled in his own house, and Sima Zhao's decree was completely nailed to the pillar of death.

The inner attendant naturally knew that Sima Zhao was reluctant to kill Sima Banru as well, so he leaned over and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Sima Zhao thought for a moment.

"It's okay, according to your opinion, demote this rebel to a concubine and blast out of the capital. Without the will of the lonely king, he is not allowed to return to Beijing. ”

"Master Hou, don't thank the king for not killing." The inner attendant understood that since he had left Sima Banru's life, it was inevitable that this guy would take advantage of the situation in the future, and it was not yet known who would kill the deer, so he came over as if flattering and said to Sima Banru.

Sima Banru thought that he would die, but when he heard that he had been left with a life, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't die, this marquis still has a chance.

The samurai let go of his hands.

"Thank you, father."

Sima Zhao turned his face away.

"The king is angry, Hou Ye should go back to the mansion first, and before leaving Beijing in a few days, he will come to bid farewell to the king." The chamberlain lowered his voice, "At that time, if you plead hard in front of the king, maybe the king will be soft-hearted and can keep you in Beijing." ”

Sima Banru thought for a moment and got up from the ground.

He doesn't care if he can stay in the capital now, what he is eager to do is to rush to Lu Yong's mansion as soon as possible and rescue Haruka. As for Lu Yong's family, there is really no way for them.

Sima Zhao did not set a date for himself to leave Beijing, which means that he can stay in the capital for a few days.

Shu Han, Langzhong:

Empress Zhang and her entourage came here, and they did not intend to alarm the local government, but I don't know who revealed the news, and when Empress Zhang and her party came to the Henghou Temple, the local Taishou Zhao Tong had already joined hands with more than a dozen officials of all sizes to wait in front of the ancestral hall.

After Liu Yong followed Empress Zhang and others for a few days, he took a detour to Jiangzhou.

Zhao Tong - the eldest son of Zhao Yun, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty.

After Zhao Yun's death, Liu Chan remembered his achievements during his lifetime, posthumously named the Marquis of Shunping, and asked Zhao Tong to keep filial piety for him for three years.

After the expiration of the period of filial piety, Zhao Tong came to Langzhong as a general of the Yamen to garrison, although there was no great merit, but there was no slightest difference, and it was very popular with the local people.

He inherited his father's genes well, was born tall and mighty, had a good face, and treated his subordinates with a humble and easy-going appearance.

When Deng Ai led the troops to attack, Zhao Tong also asked for an order to fight, but at that time, Liu Chan was convinced of the lie that the wizard could save the country, and ignored Zhao Tong's recital.

Zhao Tong is a few years older than Empress Zhang, because the relationship between his parents is very good, and the two have played together since childhood, so Empress Zhang has always respected him as a brother.

The car stopped.

Zhao Tong led everyone to kneel in front of the car.

"Weichen greeted the queen's mother."

"Brother Zhao must not be like this, this palace came abruptly, I didn't want to alarm Brother Zhao, but I didn't want to be known by Brother Zhao. Please also ask everyone to avoid it, this palace and Brother Zhao have something to say. Empress Zhang lifted the curtain and said to Zhao Tong.

"Wechen obeys."

Zhao Tong waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up and avoid it.

The crowd dispersed.

She leaned over and grabbed Empress Zhang's little hand and helped her out of the car.

"The queen mother came all the way, and there was a lot of fatigue along the way, can you please come to my house first, and it is not too late to come tomorrow to pay tribute to the father-in-law." Zhao Tong said.

"You have to go." Empress Zhang replied, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law and my wife for many years, and when I come here today, I also want to go to pay a visit, but it is important to pay homage to my father first." ”

"In that case, Weichen accompanied the queen to worship together."

Empress Zhang smiled noncommittally.

Henghou Temple, is built after Liu Chan succeeded to the throne and posthumously sealed Zhang Fei as Henghou, and later, married Queen Zhang, and sent someone to renovate it, it can be described as magnificent, covering an extremely large area.

In the past, Empress Zhang would send people to clean up every year, but it was only later that the national fortune was poor, Liu Chan was weak, and Cao Wei's soldiers attacked, so it was temporarily stopped. However, Zhao Tong still brings people to pay respects every year, and the people in the vicinity also come to worship spontaneously.

Empress Zhang walked forward, and at the same time, she did not forget to remind the samurai to put the sacrifices outside for the time being, and then move in after tidying up.

"Presumably Brother Zhao also knows that His Majesty has just defeated Cao Wei's army, and all the counties in Shu have not yet been recovered, otherwise, the palace would not have such a time to come to pay tribute to his father."

"Wechen has heard about it." Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Your Majesty's divine martial arts have already spread in the Langzhong area, and the people all say that if Your Majesty has divine help, it may be ......."

"What is it? Brother Zhao said bluntly that it didn't hurt. Empress Zhang asked.

Zhao Tong did not hide it.

"The people all say that Your Majesty has such a change this time, because the first emperor couldn't bear the decadence of my Shu Han under Jiuquan, so his spirit was possessed by His Majesty."

Empress Zhang laughed with a "flutter".

"Brother Zhao thinks so too?"

Zhao Tong thought for a moment.

"Weichen doesn't believe in such things, but he just thinks that His Majesty's change is a blessing for the people of my Shu. In the former, Cao Wei's army attacked, and Weichen also asked Ying to fight, but he was suppressed by His Majesty. ”

"I've heard about it before." Empress Zhang sighed, "If all the ministers of my court and the central government are like Brother Zhao, why should I ask Your Majesty to bother with the personal expedition?" ”

"The queen's mother has taught her a lesson, and this is all the sins of ministers." Zhao Tong also felt helpless, "Thinking about the past, when my father and father-in-law were there, how strong my Shu Han was, I didn't think that in a few years, Shu Shang had fallen to such a point, it was sad to think about it." I also asked the queen to speak in front of His Majesty after returning to Beijing, and Weichen is willing to lead thousands of elite soldiers to recover other states and counties in my Shu. ”

"Brother Zhao really does not reduce the style of the fourth uncle in the past, and after the palace returns to Beijing, he will definitely push it in front of His Majesty." Empress Zhang said with a smile.

A eunuch ran in front of them and lifted the curtain of the main hall.

"Please also ask Niang Niang Chitose and General Zhao to take a break here for a while, and wait for the minions and others to prepare sacrifices before coming to pay tribute."
