Chapter 827: Post-war disposal (for Black Konjac Siwan)

After conquering Linle, in addition to leaving a part of the troops to continue to maintain the public order of Yan State, Pang Nuan led the Zhao army to the bustling team in Handan.

A grand celebration was held in Handan City, and Zhao Dan personally took the stage to reward the meritorious soldiers. The air in Handan City was once again filled with the fragrance of wine, which was destined to be another happy autumn for the people of Zhao.

On this day, Zhao Dan sat in front of the table and looked at a memorial from Le Cheng, the rank of Zhao Guonan Army.

This memorial is filled with hundreds of words, but in general, it means only two.

First, the Le family of Zhao State knew nothing about Lejian's behavior of planning Jing Ke's assassination, and all contacts with Lejian were carried out under the instruction of the king (Zhao Dan) to persuade Lejian.

Second, please kill the Lejian!

Zhao Dan looked at the memorial and felt thoughtful.

Obviously, this was the cutting of the Le family in Zhao State and the Le family in Yan State. In fact, Le Cheng had personally entered the palace to apologize on the second day after Jing Ke's assassination. It can be said that the cutting had already begun since that time.

There is no way to do this. Who made the leader of the Le family of the Yan Kingdom involved in the assassination of Jing Ke?

Zhao Dan thought for a while and looked at Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, you should have read this memorial from General Le Cheng, right? You are Si Kou, let me tell you your opinion."

Yu Xin spoke almost without hesitation: "King, Lejian planned to assassinate the king, which is an unforgivable crime. We must severely punish it to warn others! In the eyes of the minister, we should punish the three clans!"

All the ministers of Zhao immediately expressed their agreement with this opinion.

You should know that these ministers were unaware of the assassination of Jing Ke, and they were also shocked.

No important official in Longtai hopes that something happened to Zhao Dan at this time would not only affect the great cause of Zhao's unification, but also Zhao's crown prince Zhao Heng was underage, which is also a major challenge to Zhao's political stability.

As the saying goes, once the emperor is a minister, the new king's rise means that someone must step down among the important officials. This is something that all the important officials in Longtai do not want to see.

Therefore, these ministers hated Jing Ke even more than Zhao Dan himself. They all wanted to relieve Jing Ke's hatred.

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Very good. Since that's the case, then I'll send an order to kill all the Lejian and its three clans! Among the three clans, those with the Le family in Zhao State will be jointly reviewed by Siko and the Hu Yiwei and the Supervisory Guard to jointly review their behavior and then make a decision. Those who are involved in this matter will die, and those who are not involved will not be guilty."

As the mastermind behind Jing Ke, Le Jian must die, there is no doubt that this is true.

If the Lejian is not severely punished, then if other countries come to play this game in the future and make Jingke No. 2 and No. 3, how can it be done?

Although Lejian also surrendered, Lejian resisted until the last moment after the city was broken and surrendered only after confirming that there was no chance. It was not the same as surrendering to the city.

Zhao State killed and injured nearly 30,000 people in the battle to attack Linle City, and it is not an exaggeration to remember all the lives of these 30,000 people in Lejian.

Overall, only by punishing Lejian hard can we shock other ill-hearted people and those who resist to the end, so that the next Jing Ke will not dare to appear, so that all the guys who are ready to resist to the end will know that such a result will be a dead end!

"By the way, there is also this guy Jing Ke. He was born in Puyang, Weiguo, right? Puyang is now my territory. Yu Qing, you will immediately find Jing Ke's three clans for me and kill them all!"

Whoever wants to kill me, I will kill his whole family! No, it’s the whole family of the whole family!

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "Le Cheng, the General of the Southern Army, was loyal to the country and was awarded hundreds of silk and satin and ten taels of gold."

As a long-time general of Zhao State, Le Cheng has made many contributions to Zhao State's loyalty for decades and is an absolute meritorious minister. Over the years, both the Hu Yiwei who was ambushed in Yan State or the supervisory guards responsible for monitoring Zhao State officials have never found Le Cheng suspected of colluding with the enemy, so Zhao Dan felt that Le Cheng still needed some comfort.

Zhao Shengdao of Xiangbang: "The king, the minister of Yan State Cai Niao and others should work together to help General Li Mu take down Jidu. They should reward him. I wonder what kind of reward the king wants to give him?"

Zhao Dan thought for a while and said slowly: "Cai Niao, judging from the reports submitted by Ju Xin and General Li Mu, after taking down Ji Du, he tried his best to cooperate with the two generals to conquer and appease other parts of Yan State, and he made great contributions to me and Zhao State. I decided to give him the title of Pingyan Jun, and the other former ministers of Yan State who followed Cai Niao to uprising each promoted one level!"

If you have any mistakes, you will have to be punished, and if you have any merits, you will definitely be rewarded. Cai Niao and his sect's anti-bone ministers in Yan State can be said to have made great efforts in this battle. Otherwise, whether Zhao State can defeat Ji is still a question, let alone completely destroy Yan State.

By rough estimates, Cai Niao and others saved at least one year of time and about 50,000 casualties of Zhao soldiers for the State of Zhao. Zhao Dan thought it would be no exaggeration to give him a title to the emperor.

Moreover, with the example of Cai Niao, when Zhao defeats other countries in the future, some of the ministers of those countries will definitely choose to surrender. After all, the quality of a soldier dying for his confidant is a minority in any era. The mentality of a good bird selecting trees and living in good habits is the real majority.

"By the way, how is Li Mu's attack on North Korea now?" Zhao Dan asked suddenly.

Lian Po replied: "Return to the king, Governor Li Mu has led his army to conquer 17 cities in North Korea. Judging from the latest war reports, it should be able to surround Pyongyang City within one or two days."

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "I heard that winter in the north will come earlier. Remember to ask Li Mu to pay attention. If there is insufficient time, please withdraw back to Liaodong first and wait until next spring."

Today's Jizi North Korea has a territory similar to that of later generations, which is the northern half of the Korean Peninsula.

This place was both Chinese territory during the Han and Tang dynasties in history. As a Han nationalist, Zhao Dan must take down this territory that has been "before ancient times".

In fact, Zhao Dan is not limited to the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. Considering the two cheating countries on this peninsula in later generations, Zhao Dan believes that it is very necessary for him to take down the entire Korean Peninsula.

Of course, it is not just the Korean Peninsula, but it is separated from the Korean Peninsula by a sea. The land called Japan in later generations also has to be taken down.

Not to mention once and for all, those islands have rich silver mines. Shijian Silver Mine has been the largest silver mine in the world for hundreds of years, so this is definitely not to be missed.

Fortunately, South Korea now has only a few backward countries, and there is only a group of savages on the Japanese archipelago, so there is no need to rush these.

Zhao Dan was dealing with political affairs in front of him, and in the harem, Zhao Dan’s queen Han Wan was also dealing with another matter for him.

"It's hard to travel thousands of miles." Han Wan smiled and looked at Empress Dowager Yan, who was almost the same as her young one in front of her, and her tone was very peaceful when she spoke.

Empress Dowager Yan looked tired, and there was still a few undetectable sadness in the corner of her eyes. She sat there quietly without saying a word.

Han Wan was not angry because of Empress Dowager Yan's ignorance, but said very gently: "It seems that you don't want to talk very much, so I'll come back another day."

Just as Han Wan was about to get up and leave, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly spoke: "Brother Wang has made up his mind?"

Han Wan turned around and sat down again, then nodded gently: "Yes, during the Le, Jing Ke killed all three clans, and all those involved in this matter were killed and executed in the public."

A miserable smile flashed across Queen Mother Yan's face and said slowly: "What about the old woman and Ke'er?"

Han Wan sighed and said, "You shouldn't agree to let Lejian plan this matter. You should know that this matter cannot be hidden from the king."

Empress Dowager Yan's voice suddenly became sharp: "But he wanted to destroy Yan State. It was the old woman and Ke'er's Yan State, not his Zhao Dan's Yan State!"

Han Wan looked at Empress Dowager Yan quietly, her eyes full of sympathy: "Yes, if I had been with you, I would have made the same choice. Our women should have married and followed their husbands. Such behavior is indeed understandable. But you must know that since you did something wrong, someone must pay the price. The majesty of Zhao and the king cannot be provoked, and I will not allow another assassination against the king."

Han Wan's meaning is actually very obvious. The heads of Lejian and Jing Ke alone cannot calm the anger of Zhao State. Even if Zhao Dan can agree, the ministers of Zhao State and the queen Han Wan will not agree.

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Han Wan calmly, and after a while, she finally showed a look of praying: "Ke'er is still young, and he can't participate in this matter, so let Ke'er go."

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Han Wan said slowly: "Speaking of this, Ke'er is also my nephew, and taking care of him is something I should do. Ke'er can survive, but she can only be a commoner."

Empress Dowager Yan was relieved when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face for the first time: "Thank you."

Han Wan smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, have a good rest. We will have someone to send Ke'er over. You can accompany him in the next few days."

"No need." Empress Dowager Yan interrupted Han Wan: "Let's start now, the old woman is ready."

Han Wan showed a surprised expression on her face. After hesitating for a while, she still met the request of Empress Dowager Yan.

"Come on, drink."

A palace maid held Yijue wine and carefully placed it in front of Empress Dowager Yan.

The wine is as red as blood. If you look closely, you will find that there are traces of blue and black inside.

Empress Dowager Yan picked up the wine lord with a calm expression.

Han Wan couldn't help but say, "You... don't you really say goodbye to Ke'er first?"

"No need." Empress Dowager Yan shook her head: "It's just to seek trouble."

After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine.

"Do!" Jiu Jue landed on the ground, making no sound on the thick carpet, and then stopped after rolling for a few rounds.

Empress Dowager Yan's body slowly fell softly on the chair and slowly closed her eyes.

A trace of red liquid, not sure whether it was fine wine or blood, oozing out from her lips and dripping to the ground.

After Han Wan quietly watched all this, the many emotions in her heart finally turned into a long sigh.

"Why is this necessary..."
