Chapter 480 The Kingdom of Zhao is finally settled
After laying out all his conditions directly and clearly in front of King Zhao Zhao Yu, Xu Yan slowly bowed upward.
"King Zhao, these are the conditions proposed by me, the Great Wei Dynasty. I hope King Zhao can weigh them more."
"It's just that there is not much time left for the State of Zhao. When the general's army marches north and the city of Xicheng is defeated, the State of Zhao will be destroyed."
"The foreign minister takes his leave."
After saying these words, Xu Yan lost any hesitation on his face and walked out of the room on his own.
"etc……"
Still unable to take a few more steps, the voice of King Zhao Yu came from behind Xu Yan again.
"The envoy just said that Handan has been captured by the Wei army, so the prime minister of the country..."
When he heard Zhao Wang Zhao Yu ask Zhao Xianggong Sun Le, Xu Yan's originally calm face couldn't help but show a touch of emotion.
Although both sides are their own masters, Xu Yan's heart is still full of respect when facing such a steadfast martyr.
"When the city of Handan was destroyed, Prime Minister Zhao chose to commit suicide and die for his country."
"What!"
Zhao Yu stood up again, with an expression on his face full of disbelief.
After the shock, a sense of sadness began to arise in the heart of King Zhao, and he thought of the dream he had had before.
It was so real that he couldn't help but feel palpitations in his heart.
It was only then that Zhao Yu finally understood that what he experienced was not just a dream, but also various omens of today.
Recalling the veteran minister who devoted himself to assisting him and the late king, Zhao Yu's heart was suddenly filled with sadness.
Slowly raising his right hand, he stared blankly ahead, and a tear appeared on Zhao Yu's cheek.
"Xiangguo..."
Seeing Zhao Yu like this, Xu Yan, a foreign minister, just sighed and chose to leave the hall.
He didn't know how long time had passed, and Zhao Yu didn't know how long he had been standing there. Suddenly, he felt a sweetness in his chest.
"puff……"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Amidst the exclamations of everyone around him, a blood arrow spurted out from Zhao Yu's mouth, and then he fell straight down.
The scene in front of him gradually became blurry, and the sounds in his ears gradually became fainter. After a few breaths, Zhao Yu felt that his vision went dark, and he fainted.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
A familiar call woke Zhao Yu from his sleep. When he opened his eyes with some difficulty, standing in front of him was the figure he had been thinking about just now.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Zhao Yu trotted towards the figure, but when he got close, he stopped with hesitation.
"Old minister Gong Zhongle, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Xiangguo..."
Looking at the familiar face in his memory, Zhao Yu's face was full of guilt at this moment.
"Prime Minister, if I hadn't insisted on going my own way, I'm afraid the Prime Minister wouldn't have..."
"My king, don't blame yourself."
In response to Zhao Yu's apologetic words, Gongsun Le's reply was just a gentle smile.
"As a minister of Zhao, Gongsun Le has been entrusted by the late king and the king, so he should do his best for the country of Zhao."
"If you die for the State of Zhao, Gong Zhongle will die well. Your Majesty, please don't do this."
After softly comforting Zhao Yu, the expression on Gong Zhongle's face suddenly became solemn, "I just don't know how your Majesty is going to deal with the conditions proposed by Wei Guo?"
Facing the old Xiangguo in front of him, Zhao Yu was still full of respect even though he knew that he did not really exist.
After taking half a step back, Zhao Yu bowed solemnly and said, "Please also ask Prime Minister to teach me."
The steps under his feet moved slightly, and after a moment of meditation, Gong Zhongle's voice rang in Zhao Yu's ears.
"In the rebellion of the Lower Palace in the past, both the Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo clans were wiped out. Our Zhao family's strength has been reduced to ten thousand, and the situation can be described as extremely dangerous."
The chaos in the lower palace mentioned by Gong Zhongle was a past event that Zhao did not want to mention.
In the past, Duke Cheng of Jin married his daughter Meng Ji to Zhao Dun's son Zhao Shuo. After Zhao Shuo's death, Meng Ji, who became a widow, had an affair with her uncle Zhao Yingqi.
After the adultery between the two was exposed, Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo of the Zhao family expelled Zhao Yingqi from the Jin Kingdom, which aroused Meng Ji's jealousy.
Meng Ji then falsely accused Zhao Tong in front of her brother Jin Jinggong, and Zhao Kuo revolted, which led to the annihilation of Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo and their branches, and the Zhao family's fiefdoms were also confiscated by others.
Later, Han Jue, the Han family who had been favored by the Zhao family, intervened, and Zhao Wucai, Zhao Shuo's son, finally succeeded the Zhao family.
After telling this old incident about the Zhao family in the past, Gong Zhongle asked directly: "Dare you ask your Majesty, how did it compare to now?"
"Now our Zhao Kingdom still has a city in hand and an army of tens of thousands. It is much stronger than the rebellion in the lower palace in the past."
"exactly."
Nodding slightly to Zhao Yu's words, Gong Zhongle continued: "In the past, if there was no successor to the chaos in the lower palace, my Zhao family would have been destroyed long ago, and there would be no chance that the three families would be divided into Jin."
"Your Majesty, only if the State of Zhao survives can we have a chance. For the sake of the survival of the State of Zhao, I ask your Majesty not to take personal honor and disgrace at heart."
After finishing his words, Gong Zhongle slowly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Zhao is entrusted to your Majesty."
"Zhao Yu, thank you so much, Prime Minister."
He also bowed and when Zhao Yu slowly stood up, Gong Zhongle, who was originally in front of him, had long since disappeared.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
There was a sound in his ears gradually, and when Zhao Yu slowly opened his eyes, he was surrounded by concerned generals of the Zhao army.
"The king is awake."
"The king is awake."
…
Amidst everyone's happy words, Zhao Yu recalled the scenes and words in his dream just now, and he already had concerns in his heart.
Turning to look at General Fei Yi on the side, Zhao Yu said slowly: "General Fei Yi, in response to Wei Guo, just say I am a widower..."
…
"Drive, drive, drive..."
A burst of horse hoofbeats came from far away, and a red figure rushed into Anyi, the capital of Wei State.
Not long after, Sun Qi, Prime Minister of Wei, entered the hall excitedly, his face filled with excitement.
"My lord, Gongsun Qi, would like to congratulate the king and congratulate the Great Wei."
At this moment, Wei Wang Wei Feng, who was reading the classics behind the desk, heard Gongsun Qi's congratulations, but he was a little unresponsive for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, a look of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
"Xiang Guo, but Zhao Guo..."
"It's the State of Zhao."
Quickly handing over the silk book in his hand, Gongsun Qi shouted loudly: "General, please report, King Zhao, no, the Marquis of Zhao has agreed to the conditions of Wei. From now on, Zhao will become a vassal of Wei, just like Qin.
"
Wei Feng eagerly took the silk book handed to him and carefully read every seal character on it with trembling eyes. A look of uncontrollable ecstasy immediately appeared on his face.
"color!"
"color!"
"color!"
…
After three consecutive cheers, Wei Feng walked extremely quickly to a map in the main hall.
Wei Feng's eyes kept moving on the map, and he could already see that the Wei Dynasty was now more powerful than the Jin Kingdom in the past, and this was created by himself in the twenty years since he took the throne.
"The Kingdom of Zhao is established, and the achievements of Wei Dynasty will be worry-free from now on."
Standing in front of this map, Wei Feng began to look from the Central Plains to the entire world.
Everything is almost over.
