Zhao King Palace, Congtai Sleeping Hall.

This bedroom was once the core of Zhao State, but now it has become particularly desolate and bleak.

King Zhao sat blankly at the gate of the bedroom, staring at the spring scene outside.

Spring is beautiful, but it has nothing to do with King Zhao.

However, in just a few months, King Zhao had become extremely thin and looked like a bamboo pole.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and a eunuch carefully brought the plate to King Zhao.

"Master, I've used the morning food."

King Zhao did not move, and did not even look at the eunuch.

The eunuch seemed to be accustomed to this, so he found a table to put it next to King Zhao, and then placed the breakfast on the plate on the table.

Breakfast includes lotus seed soup, beef stains, smoked lamb chops and grilled pig's trotters, as well as two side dishes.

Even by the monarch's standards, such a breakfast is plenty.

The eunuch turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly heard a hoarse voice coming from behind.

"What's wrong with Taimiao... over there?"

The eunuch turned around in surprise and looked at King Zhao.

Since the death of the eunuch Ling Miaoxian, King Zhao first pretended to be crazy and stupid, and then remained silent.

This was the first time that King Zhao spoke in a normal tone.

The eunuch said softly:

"Today, Grand Marshal Lianpo sent troops to attack Qin, and all the ministers gathered in Taimiao to see off Grand Marshal Lianpo."

When King Zhao heard this, his expression became very strange.

"Without me, these traitors dare to step into the Taimiao?"

"Aren't they afraid that their ancestors will get angry and kill them?"

The eunuch was frightened and ran away with small steps.

If possible, the eunuch would have wished he had never heard of these words!

In the Taimiao, Lian Po and Li Jian stood side by side, staring at the tablets of the ancestors of Zhao State in front of them.

Lian Po couldn't help but shivered and said softly:

"To be honest, let's not do these things in Taimiao next time, right?"

Li Jian looked at Lian Po with some amusement.

"Why, the Taiwei, who is not afraid of heaven or earth, is actually worried about these things?"

Lian Po bowed to the many spiritual positions in front of him, and then answered Li Jian’s question.

"I just think that we can change to another place to make me feel more at ease when I go to war."

Li Jian nodded slightly and said:

"Then let's do it as planned."

A moment later, Li Jian stood at the gate of the Taimiao, and as the representative of King Zhao, he loudly read out the will of "from King Zhao".

In this decree, it first listed the crimes committed by Qin against Zhao, as well as the necessity of Zhao's attack on Qin, and then directly stated the theme.

"...I ordered Grand Marshal Lian Po to lead his army to conquer Qin immediately and punish Qin's crimes!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Lian Po took over the order and then happily led his army to leave.

Everything seemed pretty normal until something unexpected happened.

After Lian Po led the army to leave, the civil and military officials who saw him leave naturally left one after another.

In front of everyone, Li Jian, who had just gotten on the carriage, suddenly slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch!" Li Jian screamed loudly, holding his right leg and rolling on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jian was directly carried onto the carriage by many guards.

"Hurry, find a doctor to treat you!"

Mao Sui's voice resounded through everyone's eardrums, and then the carriage immediately started and left quickly.

In Xianyang City, Ying Zhu was still wearing mourning clothes, but he had a crown on his head.

The new King of Qin is sneering.

"Li Jian, a bastard, wanted to follow the example of Tian's family to seize the throne, which is really a delusion."

"I want to tell you that he broke his leg before the Taimiao. This is his retribution!"

In the hall, the ministers of Qin State let out a low burst of laughter.

The name Li Jian is definitely the one that the Qin people hate the most.

The war between Qin and Zhao has broken out, and Li Jian, the head of Zhao State, was seriously injured at this time. This is definitely news that every Qin person is excited about.

After laughing, everyone calmed down and listened to Xiangbang Fan Sui's introduction to the entire battlefield situation.

"According to the news we just received, the Grand Marshal Lian Po of Zhao led 150,000 troops and horses, and was moving upstream along the river. He should have wanted to attack Xinzheng, our country."

"In addition, Li Mu led 30,000 cavalrymen, who had just arrived on the west bank of Jinyang County a few days ago, and could cross the river to attack our country's northern county at any time."

After Fan Sui said the words, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became very solemn.

Ying Zhu clenched his fists hard and said coldly:

"Just as soon as the father passed away, Zhao State immediately sent troops to attack, which was extremely shameless."

"This time, I must let the people of Zhao know what the true majesty of the Great Qin is!"

The Qin ministers present spoke one after another, followed Ying Zhu's words and criticized Zhao at the top of their lungs.

As for the fact that the Qin State had taken advantage of the death of King Huiwen of Zhao, the State of Zhao, which led to the State of Zhao sending Chang'an Jun to Linzi as a hostage to exchange for Qi reinforcements and forced Qin to withdraw its troops, this was ignored intentionally or unintentionally by everyone.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were unified, Ying Zhu smiled.

"Wang Jian, I will order you as the chief general and send 150,000 troops to resist Lian Po."

"Wei Liao, I will give you 30,000 troops, plus 10,000 cavalry from Yiqiu people. Your mission is to block Li Mu in Beidi County and not allow Li Mu to pose any threat to Guanzhong!"

Wang Jian and Wei Liao stood up and took their own orders.

During the whole process, no Qin minister spoke, and no one expressed his opposition without any ignorance.

This made Ying Zhu feel more and more happy.

So, is this the real feeling of being a king?

The court dispersed, Fan Sui's expression was calm, and he walked side by side with several ministers.

Someone said:

"Don't you think we, the king, don't seem to like to discuss anything with us?"

Another person said:

"When the previous kings were alive, they would ask us to express their opinions as much as possible before making a decision, and then make an appropriate decision."

The meaning of several ministers was very obvious. Ying Zhu, the new Qin King, was too arbitrary and too disrespectful to give face to the important officials of Qin.

Of course, the king is the final decision-maker, and no one will have any objections to this.

But it is not to say that in military and national affairs, there is no room for ministers to express their opinions, right?

Then why do you start this court discussion? Just give the order directly if you are the king.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Fan Sui, and the meaning was very obvious.

Dear Lord Xiangbang, you have to express your opinion, right?

Fan Sui touched his beard and said slowly:

"Do you remember a few days before the death of the former king, the Imperial Doctor once told us that there were signs of improvement in the previous king at one time?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Fan Sui smiled, stopped talking, and left.

Everyone was confused.

"What's going on?"

"I'm talking nonsense, and I can't say it clearly."

Suddenly, someone came to his senses and spoke in horror.

"Do you still remember that a few days before the death of the former king, our king visited the former king every day."

"As a result, the former king, who had hoped to improve, had been visited by the king for several days..."

Having said that, it can no longer be obvious.
To be continued...
