"Now you should understand, right? Pingyuan Jun." Zhao Dan's calm voice rang in Zhao Sheng's ears: "Tell me, in the face of such a situation, should I just start to catch people directly, or should I just let myself go?"

Although his voice was calm, Zhao Sheng still heard the deepest anger contained in Zhao Dan's voice.

Obviously, Zhao Dan was really angry this time.

Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart, knowing that the king's intention was decided, he might not be able to stop it.

But Zhao Shengsi thought about it and wanted to try it last time.

"King, what I am worried about is that if so many officials are arrested at once, will the war on the front line be affected?"

Zhao Dan waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't you worry, Mr. Pingyuan, haven't you discovered that this time it was mainly involved in the case of Siko and the Supervisor's Department? The logistics are mainly responsible for the official residence of Ru Xiangbang and the inner history, and it will not affect much."

When Zhao Sheng heard Zhao Dan say this, the last glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared.

Since Zhao Dan said so, he must be arrested to the end and will never tolerate it.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng with a changeable face and sighed softly, saying, "Pingyuan Jun, I know very well what your worries are, but I have also seen these confessions. These people have colluded and are constantly betraying the interests of my people and Zhao State. As long as every day is over, Zhao State will be sucked by them a little more blood. I will definitely not allow such a thing to happen!"

Zhao Sheng lowered his head and said, "I understand what the king means. But... I don't know what the king wants to deal with Pingyang Jun?"

Zhao Dan had already made a decision a few days ago, that is, to wait until Guo Kai was caught to find out the truth of the matter before dealing with Zhao Bao.

Now the truth of the matter is basically revealed, and it seems that the time is coming to deal with Zhao Bao.

The reason why Zhao Sheng made this opinion now is mainly to protect Zhao Bao.

After all, judging from the current confessions, although Zhao Bao did not directly involve and participated in these smugglings, the large-scale involvement of the officials to Si Kou and the relationship between key figures Guo Kai and Zhao Bao were destined that Zhao Bao would definitely not be able to escape.

Since that's the case, Zhao Sheng had to take advantage of Yu Xin's absence and many people had not yet been brought to justice. Some confessions that might be unfavorable to Zhao Bao were sent to Zhao Dan's desk before they were sent to Zhao Dan's desk. Otherwise, once all the situation was completely revealed, the situation might become even worse.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, and after a long time, he said, "From Mr. Pingyuan, how should he punish Mr. Pingyang?"

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Pingyang Jun was not strict in his ruling power, which led to such a major case. It is obvious that the position of Si Kou is no longer suitable for him. I requested the king to take his position as Si Kou, and reduce his fief, and order him to be confined to Handan."

Zhao Sheng’s so-called punishment is actually just to repeat Zhao Dan’s words a few days ago.

Of course, it is not a simple retelling. After all, Zhao Bao still had hope of reinstatement at that time, but Zhao Bao now has no hope.

In general, it is to save Zhao Bao's life at the cost of giving up Si Kou's official position.

After Zhao Sheng said this, he waited for Zhao Dan's reply with fear.

To be honest, if such a big thing happened, even if Zhao Dan wanted to drag Zhao Bao out and chop him up, Zhao Sheng would have nothing to say.

Whether it is smuggling enemy countries or secretly connecting with supervisory guards, just one thing is enough to make a lot of people's heads fall to the ground, not to mention that Zhao Bao has been involved in two things now.

Zhao Sheng asked himself, if he was sitting on the throne now, what he thought was to cut off the head of the idiot Zhao Bao to serve as a warning to others.

But Zhao Bao is Zhao Sheng's younger brother after all, and he has always been Zhao Sheng's most staunch supporter, so Zhao Sheng must help his brothers with both emotion and reason.

What Zhao Sheng can rely on now is Zhao Dan's kindness.

As soon as Zhao Sheng said something, there was silence in the hall.

Zhao Dan seemed to be quite hesitant and did not make a decision after a long time.

Suddenly someone came to report: "The three ministers of King Yu Xin, Li Bo, and Zheng Zhu were asking for a meeting outside the hall!"

Zhao Sheng's body suddenly shook and he screamed in his heart.

With this time of Yu Xin, what other good things can he do besides taking advantage of the situation?

Just when Zhao Sheng was still using his brains quickly to find a solution, Zhao Dan had already spoken: "Let's announce them all."

A moment later, Yu Xin's voice rang in the hall.

"The king, the king of Pingyang Zhao Bao was not strict in his power, which led to this major case, which almost shook the foundation of the country. He is unreasonable to blame! I ask the king to punish Pingyang as a warning to others!"

Yu Xin's words were not beyond anyone's expectations.

Uncle Li looked around, sighed in his heart, and said, "I think what Yu Qing said is reasonable, please punish the King of Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao!"

If Uncle Li had some concerns before, the situation is now very obvious. Zhao Bao is completely finished and can't turn over.

Under such circumstances, Li Bo, as a giant in the common sect, naturally had to stand on Yu Xin's side and help Yu Xin rush forward with all his strength.

Severe punishment is called severe punishment? The lightest thing about losing one's official position is the lightest, depriving one's title is a little more serious, and direct beheading is the strictest.

Obviously, this time the common people really want to take advantage of your illness and kill you!

Seeing that the situation had gradually lost control, Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and made up his heart. He knelt down and said loudly: "King, please give Pingyuan Jun a way out for the sake of Pingyang Jun's loyalty to the country for many years."

Zheng Zhu, who was standing beside him, frowns slowly when he saw this.

Although Zheng Zhu, as a relative of the foreign country, has always been very loyal to a neutral position, if we look at it from a background, it is obvious that the foreign country is closer to the royal family.

So Zheng Zhu coughed and said, "King, although King Pingyang has made a big mistake, I think he will not die. Moreover, King Pingyang has been loyal and made great contributions to the king and Zhao State many times. I also asked the King to spare the life of King Pingyang for his past contributions."

The four ministers have finished their statements, which is exactly polarization.

Zhao Dan also felt a headache when he looked at the several ministers of Zhao who were tense in front of him.

Kill, or not? This is a question.

Killing people may sound a bit brutal, but in this era, Shang Yang was able to cut off the nose of the prince of Qin because of an insignificant matter. It was not an exaggeration to punish the Qin clan if such a big thing happened. Killing one person alone could be regarded as a manifestation of kindness.

The laws of Zhao and Qin are to some extent quite similar.

But Zhao Sheng and Zheng Zhu were right. Zhao Bao did make great contributions to Zhao Guoli, and he has always been Zhao Dan's most staunch supporter, and he is Zhao Dan's biological uncle.

Killing may affect the view of Zhao Dan as the entire Zhao Duke clan

After a long time, Zhao Dan slowly spoke: "I have decided on the treatment of Pingyang Jun."

The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone stood up their ears at the same time, waiting for Zhao Dan's final decision.

"Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao was not strict in his throne, which led to the fact that this nest case occurred. Although there is no evidence to prove that his commander was responsible for this matter, it is still difficult to blame. From now on, Yu Qing will take the position of Sikou."

When Yu Xin heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed to Zhao Dan to give a big gift. His voice trembled as he spoke: "I thank the king for his kindness, and I will do my best to repay the king!"

Zhao Dan nodded slightly at Yu Xin, and then said, "As for the King of Pingyang, he will seize 70% of his fiefdom and be fined for three years. In the future, he will be confined to his home and reflect on himself."

House arrest was Zhao Dan's final decision.

Zhao Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you, the king!"

It is enough for Zhao Sheng, a brother-in-law, to be able to keep Zhao Bao from dying.

Yu Xin was stunned when he heard this and exchanged glances with Uncle Li beside him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After saying this, Zhao Dan was obviously in a bad mood. He no longer gave others a chance to speak, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, let's go down."

Zhao Dan is indeed a little tired.

I thought that Zhao State could avoid internal infighting and political struggles like other countries, and was also working in this direction.

But in the end, I still look too young.
