Volume 2 Who Dominates the Ups and Downs Chapter 123 Dune Rebellion
Lu Maoshou lost Jiuding and a large amount of property, and lost more than half of the ghost soldiers, and had scruples about Ling Junzi and others in his heart, so he was unwilling to seek work in the Central Plains, and under the advice of Poor Cicada and Cangshu, he took everyone to Shennong Mountain.
Ling Junzi returned to Handan and went to see Fei Yi first, and Fei Yi called Lian Po and Ling Junzi to go to see his father Zhao Yong together. Ling Junzi told Zhao Yong the news of the Xuanbing Arrow found in Wu Wa, and then Lian Po also reported to Zhao Yong what happened in Lingshou City.
Zhao Yong heard that his eldest son Zhao Zhang colluded with Lu Maoshou, and Lu Maoshou was the culprit who assassinated his concubine Wu Wa, so he gritted his teeth and immediately sent Zhao Zhang to see him.
"Rebel, if you have half a lie today, I will personally send you to see your mother!" Zhao Yong glared at Zhao Zhang and shouted.
Since Han Ji's death, Zhao Yong felt guilty in his heart, and had always treated Zhao Zhang well, Zhao Zhang had never seen his father so angry, so he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and asked:
"Why is the master so angry, but what did the son do wrong?"
"How did Wu Niangniang be plotted by someone, you recruited from the truth!" Zhao Yong asked with a slap on his face.
"This ββ this ββ father ββ where do you start with this?" Zhao Zhang was asked by his father's words, looking at Zhao Yong and Fei Yi and others.
Fei Yi knew that Zhao Yong was emotional, so he interjected:
"Don't be in a hurry, ask him slowly!"
"Let me ask you, what happened to the immortal ghost soldiers in Lingshou City?" Zhao Yong pointed at Zhao Zhang and asked angrily.
"Undead Ghost Soldier ββ Undead Ghost Soldier ββ" Zhao Zhang was shocked in his heart, and replied when he hesitated: "Erchen did use the undead ghost soldiers to attack the city, and Erchen used external forces to attack the city just to reduce our casualties, and there is nothing else, please punish the master!"
"When did you come into contact with these strangers?
"Just before ββ just before the crusade against Lingshou ββ months ago!"
"Just a few months ago? Never been exposed before?"
"No! Sons did only know them months ago!"
"There is a person named Lu Maoshou, do you know?" Zhao Yong suppressed his anger and asked.
"Lu Dao Chang β β Lu Mao Shou β β Erchen is recognized!"
"When did you meet this person?"
"Just a few months ago, a long man came to Erchen, saying that he was a retainer of Sima Xi's family and could help Erchen obtain Lingshou, but he wanted to get Sima Xi's property!
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
"Fart!" Zhao Yong got up and said angrily: "Who are you? How did he know that you were going to attack Lingshou? If you didn't have something to do with him, how could he find you?"
"How could Erchen have a reason with him?"
"You ββ you ββ" Zhao Yong pulled out his sword and stepped forward and pointed at Zhao Zhang and said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth today, Lao Tzu will cut you with a sword!"
Zhao Zhang was already a little blind, but at this time, he still somehow made such a big fire from the master's father, and he was young and vigorous, so he contradicted and said:
"If a father wants to cut down a child, just cut it!
"Okay, I'll let you die!" Zhao Yong sighed and said: "That Lu Mao Shou is the one who killed Wu Niangniang in the past, you colluded with him, don't you deserve to die!"
"Erchen didn't know this person in the past, he found Erchen himself a few months ago! How could Erchen collude with him to assassinate Wu Niangniang?" Zhao Zhang said confidently. Although Zhao Zhang is young, he is quite scheming, and he does not want to involve Li Dui and Tian Rude, and he is already a little wronged, so he is justified.
"You ββ You still have a hard mouth!" Zhao Yong kicked Zhao Zhang to the ground, and was about to kick again, but was pulled by Fei Yi.
Fei Yi thought to himself, Zhao Zhang was still a child when Empress Wu was assassinated, and he may not really have anything to do with him, even if it is, it must not be the mastermind of the matter, so he grabbed the master father and said:
"The Lord Father is angry! The Lord Father is angry! This matter is very important, wait for me and the real person to inquire carefully, and then make a calculation!"
Although Zhao Yong was angry in his heart, he also felt that something was wrong, so he asked Fei Yi and Ling Junzi to take Zhao Zhang away. Zhao Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after learning that his father suspected that he had something to do with Wu Niangniang's death, he calmed down and had a countermeasure in his heart.
Fei Yi and Ling Junzi really interrogated Zhao Zhang carefully, but Zhao Zhang bit to death because Lu Maoshou was greedy for money and came to the door by himself, and he never confessed to Li Dui. When Wu Wa was assassinated, except for Zhao Zhang's mother and son, Fei Yi couldn't imagine anyone else who had a motive to assassinate, but if Zhao Zhang's mother and son really did it, it would definitely directly kill her, not just shoot her, and hurt her without a trace.
At this time, Zhao Yongzheng wanted to discuss the establishment of Zhao Zhang as the acting king, and as soon as this matter came out, the matter of establishing the acting king was naturally stopped.
After Li Dui and Tian Buli learned of this, they were terrified and secretly encouraged Zhao Zhang to take action. Zhao Zhang lost the love of his master father, naturally lost his power, and when he was depressed, he was thinking about how to take back everything that should have belonged to him, but the scheming Li Dui had other plans.
In 295 B.C., Zhao Yong, the father of the Zhao state, and Zhao He, the king of Zhao, traveled together and planned to live for a few days in the Dune Palace, not far northeast of Handan. Zhao Zhang, who had been planning for a long time, felt that the opportunity had come after learning about it, so he urgently discussed with Tian Buli and Li Dui, and immediately launched an action.
Zhao Zhang took a few henchmen and pretended to go to the Dune Palace to meet the master, and Tian Buli then rushed over with a team of trained dead soldiers. Zhao Zhang saw his master's father, cried and begged for forgiveness, and swore that it had nothing to do with Wu Niangniang's death. When the father saw that his son was sincere, he remembered the affection of father and son, so he kept his son by his side. At this time, Zhao Zhang had already bought off Zhao Yong's guards and the guards of the Dune Palace, and after the unitary time, Tian Buli led people into the Dune Palace secretly.
The main father Zhao Yong and Zhao Wang Zhao He lived in the second palace in the Dune Palace, Zhao He lived in the East Nansha Yang Palace, and Zhao Yong lived in the Shayue Palace in the northwest, the two palaces were not close, and there was a large mound in the middle. When he arrived, Zhao Zhang ordered someone to send a message to Zhao He, saying that the master's father summoned King Zhao.
At this time, Zhao He was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and when Fei Yi heard that his father summoned King Zhao late at night, and learned that Zhao Zhang was also in the palace, he immediately became suspicious, so he said to King Zhao:
"The master has never summoned the king in the middle of the night, the king waits, I'll go and ask first!"
"Xiangbang, don't worry, the master father summoned, how can I be lazy!" Zhao He said.
"My king, don't be careless, I'll come when I go!" Fei Yi finished speaking and went out, and instructed the palace guards to guard the palace gate carefully.
Fei Yi walked halfway with two guards, and felt that the palace was very quiet and gloomy, and it seemed that the atmosphere was not right, so he turned back again. Fei Yi called Lian Po up, and gave some instructions carefully, before he was relieved to go to see the master's father. At this time, Lian Po was the deputy general of the Hu Dao Knight of Zhao State, and the Hu Dao Knight was the most elite combat unit of Zhao State. Since Zhao Yong heard about the power of the wolf eagle warriors of the Qin State, he formed the Hudao Knight when he was riding and shooting in Hufu, and let Zhao General Pang Huan command, Lian Po was only Pang Huan's deputy general. King Zhao is young, Fei Yi has never been worried about Zhao Zhang, in order to prevent accidents, when he traveled with King Zhao and his master's father, he took Lian Po with him.
Fei Yi turned the sand dunes and arrived outside the palace of the master father, Zhao Zhang and Tian Buli were already waiting here, and the master father had already fallen asleep at this time, without knowing it.
"Take it!" Zhao Zhang shouted.
"Anyang-kun, you dare to rebel!" Fei Yi shouted.
"You don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Zhang didn't say a word, and went up and gave Fei Yi a sword.
Feiyi fell to the ground and died, and a generation of Mingxiang Feiyi died. Zhao Zhang proposed to establish the king on behalf of the king, Feiyi was the biggest stumbling block, and he carefully assisted Zhao He, Zhao Zhang hated him to the core, and naturally acted mercilessly.
"Seal the palace gate, not a single mouse can be released! Kill one person and reward 100 gold, kill the fake King Zhao's bounty!" Zhao Zhang shouted.
Zhao Zhang led people to attack and kill the Shayang Palace, and at the same time sent people to report to Li Dui, asking him to lead troops to support, first, to besiege the periphery of the Dune Palace, in case of accidents, and second, to welcome the new king to Handan to ascend the throne.
Lian Po went out to patrol according to Feiyi's orders, and found that something was wrong, and immediately organized the defense when he came back, but because the number of people was not dominant, he was still at a disadvantage. Lian Po led the guards and the bearded knights to fight hard, and by the time they reached the ugly, there were only forty or fifty bearded warriors left, and the main hall of Shayang Palace was also broken by Zhao Zhang's people.
Lian Po led the people to move to the mound in the middle of the Dune Palace, but fortunately, although the Hudao Knight did not ride a horse, he was still extremely powerful, and when the sky was just dawning, he transferred King Zhao to the mound. There is an attic on the mound, which is just right for King Zhao to hide, and the bearded sword knight is condescending to defend, and Zhao Zhang can't attack it for a while.
Zhao Yong was awakened in his sleep by the shouting of killing outside, and learned that it was the eldest son Zhao Zhang who rebelled, and he was trembling with anger, but he was helpless. The messenger sent by Zhao Zhang to Handan met Li Dui, who had already put in order the two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yamen, and everything was ready, and immediately sent someone to ask Zhao Chengtong, the king of Anping, to come to the rescue. At dawn, Zhao Cheng led 6,000 elite guards in Handan, and galloped towards the Dune Palace with Li Dui. The Dune Palace was not far from Handan, and Zhao Cheng and Li Dui arrived before noon.
Zhao Cheng and Li Dui each led a team of people to the outside of the Dune Palace, Li Dui had already planned and said to Zhao Cheng:
"An Pingjun attacks from the front gate, and I attack from the side gate!"
Zhao Cheng didn't know what he meant, and he didn't care about Li Dui, he immediately began to attack the palace gate, after all, just one palace couldn't stop his thousands of elite soldiers. According to the agreement with Zhao Zhang, Li Dui led his troops to the east gate, and the guards naturally let him into the palace gate.
Lian Po and the Bearded Knife Knight struggled for several hours, suffering from the inability to call for help, and when they were desperate, they heard the sound of killing outside, and somehow, but a glimmer of hope flashed in their hearts.
Li Dui led his troops to quickly kill, and Zhao Zhang's people knew that they were not in the same group. Tian Buli saw that someone was entering the east gate, so he immediately rushed over with his subordinates, and when he saw that the person who came was Li Dui, he scolded loudly:
"Li Dui traitor, shameless villainββ"
Before Tian Buli finished scolding, he was shot in the chest by an arrow from someone next to Li Dui, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Zhao Cheng quickly broke through the main gate of the Dune Palace and led his troops to kill him. Zhao Zhang saw that Li Dui was backing against the water, and knew that something was wrong, so he had to flee to the Shayue Palace where the master father was located with the remnants of the defeated army.
Zhao Zhang arrived outside the palace of the master father, shouted loudly to open the door, although the gatekeeper had received Zhao Zhang's benefits before, but saw that he was defeated and refused to open the door. Seeing that his son Zhao Zhang was defeated, the master father couldn't bear it, and was about to order the door to be opened, but the palace people who accompanied him persuaded him not to open it. When the master father saw that the pursuers behind his son had arrived, he thought that if he didn't open the door at this time, he would definitely kill someone with a knife. In a hurry, Zhao Yong ordered that only Zhao Zhang be released and the others were blocked from the palace gate.
Zhao Cheng and Li Dui led people to kill outside the gate of the main father's palace, and did not dare to continue the attack, at this time, Lian Po came with King Zhao.
Several people led troops to surround the palace of the master father, but they didn't dare to attack, until in the evening, Lian Po thought of a way.
"Gongzi Zhang rebelled, you can't join the same stream, and those who leave the palace will destroy the nine clans!" Lian Po made people shout loudly at the main father's palace.
When the people in the palace heard such shouts outside the palace, they naturally did not dare to stay in the palace and fled one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gongzizhang knew that staying would be a dead end, so he immediately changed his clothes and wanted to mix in the crowd and escape. Li Dui's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhao Zhang at a glance, and shouted:
"Traitor!"
When the people around Li Dui heard this, they shot Zhao Zhang with an arrow. In order to prevent Zhao Zhang and Tian Buli from biting him, Li Dui had already arranged for the master to be by his side, and he would kill people when he saw the opportunity.
Zhao Cheng saw that the main culprit Zhao Zhang had been destroyed, and was about to ask Zhao Wang Zhao He for instructions on how to deal with everything in front of him, but Li Dui stopped Zhao Chengdao:
"Today's events, you and I have merit and fault, but merit is not worth it!"
"What do you mean by Lord Si Kou?" Zhao Cheng asked.
"Besieging the palace of the lord father and killing Gongzi Zhang, this is a great crime of disrespect! No matter who Gongzi Zhang dies at, he will die at the hands of you and me, the master father loves Gongzi Zhang deeply, how can he give up?" Li Dui looked at Zhao Chengdao.
Zhao Cheng seemed to have an understanding, and Li Dui said again:
In the past, the lord father ascended the throne thanks to the protection of the lord by Anping Jun, who is the elder of the lord father, and the pillar of my Zhao country, and today's affairs must be burdened again!"
Li Dui's words immediately reached Zhao Cheng's heart. Zhao Yong is brave and resolute, and in Zhao Cheng's view, he is a little rigid and self-serving; Zhao Yong's bold reform and unconventionality are not respectful to tradition in Zhao Cheng's view; Zhao Yong's deep affection is serious, and in Zhao Cheng's view, he is even more emotional! Zhao Yong's attack on Di Rong, Hu Fu cavalry and archery, rich country and strong soldiers, can be described as a generation of British masters, Zhao Cheng is noncommittal, but he abolished the elder and the young, stepped down in the prime of life, and intended to set up Gongzi Zhang as the acting king, Zhao Cheng thought that it was extremely inappropriate, not a generation of kings. Zhao Cheng is not disloyal to Zhao Guo, but loyal ministers also have selfishness, Zhao Cheng understands in his heart that Zhao Guo excludes Zhao Yong, it is he who has the final say. Li Dui's words had a deep meaning, and he hit the nail on the head, Zhao Cheng asked Li Dui rhetorically after a little thought:
"What do you think of today's events?"
"My king is young, and now it's all up to An Pingjun to make the decision!" The lord's father has already abdicated, and it is a mutiny, and the eldest son is newly mourned, and it is difficult to calm down in his heart, and it is inconvenient to make a decision, or he can slowly recuperate and calm down here for a while before making plans, what does An Pingjun think?"
Li Dui used vague language again, but Zhao Cheng couldn't hear what he was saying, so he said:
"As Si Ko said!"
Zhao Cheng then left Han Xu as the general to lead the team to guard the Dune Palace, and Li Dui also left a team of officials to give detailed instructions, and then returned to Handan with Zhao Cheng, Zhao He and others.
The next day, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui made the Dune Rebellion public, and the court was shocked and embarrassed. Zhao He, the king of Zhao, then announced that Zhao had become the prime minister of Zhao and was in charge of the military and political affairs of the DPRK and China. Although Li Dui is still a Si Kou, he understands in his heart that Zhao is old, he can't manage so many affairs, and he can't be prime minister for a few years, and the day when he will be in power will not be too far away!
The main father Zhao Yong was trapped in the Dune Palace, and Li Dui had already ordered that no one should send food and water to the palace, and Zhao Cheng didn't ask, and he had already acquiesced to what Li Dui did. The master father starved for three months, first eating some wild fruits and weeds, and then had to dig out the nests and eat the chicks, and finally starved to death.
The first generation of British lords, King Zhao Wuling, fell, and died a very miserable death, and it was also very worthless! Zhao lost the greatest king in the history of the founding of the country, and also lost the only king who could dominate the princes! Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, dealt a severe blow to the northern nomads, opened up a large area of northern territory, resolved the discord between Hu and Han, the dispute between the north and the south, recovered Zhongshan, and created a powerful Zhao state, so that decades later, it became the most powerful opponent of Qin after Qi and Chu, and became the biggest obstacle to Qin's eastward expansion and unification of the six countries!
