Chapter 370 Wu Xinjun wants to rebel? (7/35)
Handan City.
Although it was during the war, all the gates of Handan City were still wide open, and every gate was crowded with people and endless streams.
The grass is green and the trees are shady. A big road extends from the west gate of Handan and extends far to the west.
A carriage came from the west, with its wheels squeaking and slowly approaching the west gate of Handan City along the road.
"Show the verification of the transmission!"
The soldiers guarding the city stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to the old man in the carriage.
The old man smiled, took out two wooden slips and put them in the hands of the soldier.
The soldier lowered his head and said, "The person from Wulifang, Jinyang City, Jinyang County, is a member of Hou, and is a man of five or two inches tall."
The soldier looked up at the old man and found that it was exactly what was described in the verification, so he handed the verification back to the old man and said, "Brother Hou Ji, you no longer need wooden verification. Remember to leave and go to the official office of Handan to get a piece of paper, otherwise it will be inconvenient in the future."
The old man named Hou Ji smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand.
By the way, I want to ask, aren’t we all fighting wars recently? Why are there no signs of martial law in Handan?”
The soldier laughed: "This is my first time in Handan?"
Hou Ji blinked and said, "The hero is indeed aware of his hair. It is indeed the first time I have come to Handan."
The soldiers seemed to be quite happy by the praise of the hero, and immediately explained patiently: "My father-in-law doesn't know that my Da Zhao has been sending troops to win battles over the years, and the war has not yet burned into the country's borders. Why do we need martial law?"
Hou Ji was stunned for a few seconds and said, "The Gaotang in the past two years was not..." The soldier's face changed and he raised his voice and said, "The battle between Gaotang is because Wu Xinjun did not take action. Do you understand?
Now that Wu Xinjun takes action, of course there is no problem.
You don’t know yet. Wu Xinjun just captured the Lingqiu City of Wei a few days ago and captured the famous Xinlingjun and the Wei general Jin Bi alive!"
The soldier was obviously extremely proud, and his chest was raised high when he spoke, looking proud.
Hou Ji was surprised and said, "I used to hear about Wu Xin's reputation in Jinyang, but now it seems that he is still a little ignorant."
The soldier seemed to lose interest and waved his hand and said, "Anyway, father-in-law, just stay in Handan with peace of mind.
No matter what Yan State Qi State or Wei State Qin State, no general in the world can defeat Wu Xinjun, and no country can reach Handan!"
The curtain was put down, the carriage continued to drive, and followed the crowd into Handan City.
Sitting in the carriage, the old man Hou Ji's smile completely disappeared.
The so-called "Hou Ji" is actually just the word "Jihou" upside down.
Under the order of the Qin King, the commander behind the Qin State's intelligence system disguised himself and forged an identity to come to Handan City. He had only one goal - he tried every means to drag his legs to Zhao Kuo, who was fighting on the front line! Sitting in the carriage, Ji Hou muttered to himself.
"Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, in just a few years, you didn't expect that your prestige in Zhao had increased to this level..." But there was no frustrated expression on Ji Hou's face, but a faint smile appeared.
"Since that's the case, I'll do you a good job, Wu Xinjun!"
The carriage finally stopped in front of an equally inconspicuous small house in a humble civilian house in Handan. Ji Hou walked out of the carriage and entered the hut, and said lightly to his subordinates who had been waiting here for a long time: "Go, mobilize all your powers to spread this remark in Handan..." A few days later.
The Empress Dowager sat upright in the main seat, listening to the eunuchs in front of her respectfully reported: "During this period, the praise of Wu Xinjun in Handan City has been rising, and some of the remarks have made the old ministers a little worried."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "What remarks?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "For example, 'Wu Xinjun is the savior of the Great Zhao,', 'If Wu Xinjun comes out, there will be no Da Zhao now,', 'The future of Da Zhao will definitely be led by Wu Xinjun'..." "Enough!"
When the empress dowager heard this, her face turned pale, and finally she couldn't bear it and interrupted the eunuch's words: "It's just nonsense, nonsense, and evil words confuse the public!"
The Queen Mother was very angry.
It is actually not incomprehensible to praise Zhao Kuo, but the problem is that the words "The future of Zhao will inevitably be led by Wu Xinjun" are naked and heart-killing words.
Who can lead a country in this world?
Of course, only the king of a country can lead it! The empress dowager's face turned pale, and after a while, she said coldly: "Does this Wu Xinjun want to be independent?"
With a bang, the eunuch ordered his kneeling down with great tactfulness, not daring to say a word.
Since the previous eunuch Ling Xian lost power and was defeated in the fight with Zhao Kuo, the successor can be said to be careful and careful in his duties.
But no matter how careful you are, you must do to report the public opinion in Handan City to the Empress Dowager. After all, the eunuchs are dependent on the royal family and the Empress Dowager of Zhao to survive. This eunuchs are well aware of.
There was a silence in the hall. After a long time, the Empress Dowager said coldly: "Go and send someone to find Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen Zhou Qing!"
The eunuch ordered him to hurry: "Here!"
When he got up and walked out of the hall to pass the order, the eunuchs's heart was actually a little confused.
For such a thing, why didn’t the Empress Dowager summon the Grand Tutor Han Xuwei?
Could it be that... the eunuch ordered him to take a deep breath and directly wiped out the thoughts that were still radiating in his mind, and said softly to himself with some fear.
"I am just a slave to the Queen Mother. Don't participate in these major events."
An hour later, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen hurriedly entered the palace and appeared in front of the empress dowager.
After the ceremony, Lin Xiangru couldn't help but speak, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager summoned me and the other two?"
Lin Xiangru had already smelled a little unusual scent.
If it was a normal court agreement, the Empress Dowager would definitely not have summoned two people to come.
Did something amazing happen?
Zhou Shaofen's face on the other side was also quite solemn, obviously his thoughts were similar to Lin Xiangru.
After so long, the Empress Dowager calmed down again and said lightly: "I wonder if the two Qing families have heard of some rumors in Handan recently?"
Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen looked at each other and found that Zhou Shaofen was also confused, so he said, "When I go back to the Empress Dowager, I have been busy with political affairs for a while and have not noticed any rumors."
As an internal historian, while dealing with daily government affairs, Lin Xiangru also had to use most of his energy to solve the logistics supply problem of Zhao Kuo's 250,000 troops going out. During this period, he could be said that he was so busy that he even deducted his sleep time, so he had no intention of asking about any rumors in Handan.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the eunuch will tell you to the two Qing families again."
The eunuch was nervous, but he still nodded and said again to Lin Xiangru and the other two again.
After hearing this, the two were also shocked. Lin Xiangru couldn't help but say, "This, these rumors are too outrageous, right?"
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "So, in the eyes of both of you, does Wu Xinjun have any intention of rebelling?"
