Chapter 477

Joining the vertical and horizontal (five)

The mansion of General Zhao Guoci Bai Xuan has become the Shura Blood Prison!

Just after midnight, more than a hundred assassins with faces covering their faces suddenly broke into the Zhao Mansion. They held short crossbows that could be fired continuously, and within twenty steps, they were simply unstoppable. Although the Zhao Mansion's family soldiers and generals fought to the death, they still couldn't resist. In less than two quarters of an hour, the assassin surrounded the main courtyard of the Bai Mansion.

However, in the Bai Mansion Master Courtyard, the assassin was stubbornly blocked.

Especially the eighteen brave generals under Bai Xuan's command were not only skilled in martial arts, but also had extraordinary archery skills. They led more than 50 masters to defend all sides and fought back with hard bows. Many assassins died and injured, but they never broke through the gate of the main courtyard! Seeing that the strong attack did not work, the assassin quickly changed his strategy and began to set fire.

More than half a minute later, a fire began to catch a fire in the main courtyard of Bai Mansion.

Half an hour later, when the Zhao imperial guards arrived, the entire Bai Mansion had fallen into a sea of ​​fire. In the entire Bai Mansion, they did not find a living creature, even a living mouse!

#############

Zhang Ao was awakened from his sleep and hurried to the imperial study room. He saw Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and Zhang Jing had already been waiting.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ao hurried into the chief executive and said repeatedly, "Okay, why did the Bai Mansion be attacked? When did such an arrogant assassin exist in Handan City?"

Zhao Wu bowed and said, "Master, this must be done by the people from Ebony Cliff."

Guan Gao's eyes showed anger, but Zhang Jing's eyes flashed. Both of them suspected that Zhao Wu's secret move was used, but they did not have direct evidence. If they said it at this time, it would not be a joke, because after Bai Xuan's death, Zhao **zhong would no longer be able to compete with Zhao Wu.

"Ebony Cliff?" Zhang Ao said angrily, "What do they want to do?"

"It must be that yesterday's court discussion leaked the news." Zhao Wu said, "The people from Eumu Cliff learned that Bai Xuan strongly advised the King to abandon his alliance with Chu, so they were revenge!"

"It's simply outrageous!" Zhang Ao said furiously, "This is Handan, not Ziling!"

"What the king said is very true." Zhao Wu said, "The people in Ebony Cliff are indeed too arrogant. Their existence has seriously threatened the safety of our Lord Zhao. The old minister suggested that we send troops to block the entire city and search with all our might. This time, we must uproot the people in Ebony Cliff no matter what!"

Seeing Zhao Wu's words of convincing words, Guan Gao couldn't help but feel a little skeptical. What's going on? Didn't Zhao Wu, who had been secretly colluding with the people from Eumu Ya long ago? He was just a gesture of clamoring like this, or did he really want to eat it and turn his back on his face?

"Okay, let me leave this matter to the general!" After Zhang Ao said that, he took out the military talisman from the brocade box on the desk and handed it to Zhao Wu.

The military system of Zhao State followed the system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and still adopted the system of regular soldiers, Rong soldiers, and renewal soldiers. The so-called regular soldiers are the army stationed in Handan, that is, the standing army. Rong soldiers are border guards, mostly prisoners, and Gengs are temporarily recruited from the people when there is war. What Zhang Ao gave to Zhao Wu was the military talisman for recruiting the standing army in Handan.

#############

As soon as Zhao Wu walked into the study, Qingpi, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, quickly knelt down and stood up, asking, "General, have you obtained the military talisman?"

"I've got it." Zhao Wu smiled and took out the military talisman and said, "Your Majesty Qing?"

"That's great." Qingpi was overjoyed and said anxiously, "General, let's send troops."

"Send troops?" Zhao Wu smiled faintly and said, "What kind of troops are sent? Where to send troops?"

"Uh..." Qingpi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said in surprise, "Of course, send troops to Jingxing and ambush Bai Mo!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about the main business." Zhao Wu slapped his forehead and shouted suddenly, "Where is Zhao Zhong?"

Zhao Zhong came in response, bowed and said, "What are the instructions for lord?"

Zhao Wu reached out and pointed at Qingpi and said sternly: "Take it!"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhong replied with a loud bang, then drew his sword and rushed towards Qingpi.

Qingpi was not good at doing anything after being injured, and was caught off guard and neglected to prevent it. When he came to his senses, Zhao Zhong's cold sword edge had already reached the side of his neck. Qingpi said in disbelief: "General, what are you doing? Don't you want to be the King of Changshan? Don't you want to restore the glory of the Zhao family?"

"King of Changshan?" Zhao Wu said sneeringly, "I want to be King of Zhao!"

Qingpi said: "As long as you can cooperate with our Great Chu sincerely, it is not impossible to take King Zhao and replace him."

"No need!" Zhao Wu waved his hand and said coldly, "It is not only your Chu State who can help me ascend to the throne of King Zhao, let alone your Chu State is so powerful. If I really cooperate with you, can I finally be regarded as King Changshan? It is still unknown whether you really regard me as a three-year-old child?"

"Zhao Wu!" Qingpi said furiously, "If you dare to betray your faith, then wait to welcome the anger of the Great Chu State!"

"Are you threatening this general?" Zhao Wu said coldly, "Tell you the truth. Zhao State is about to respond to Prime Minister Bai Mo's proposal and swear to fight against Chu with Han, Qi and Han Lian."

Qingpi said sternly when she heard this: "So, you have colluded with Bai Mo for a long time?"

Zhao Wu sneered and said, "Hehe, how could I hang a tree on a tree? Since the conditions offered by Prime Minister Bai Mo are more attractive, and it is more in line with the interests of Zhao State, why didn't I cooperate with him? But I still have to thank Qing Gong. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have killed Bai Xuan."

"Little man!" Qingpi was furious, "You traitorous villain."

When Zhao Wu waved his hand, Zhao Zhong stabbed Qingpi's neck without hesitation, causing blood to splatter, and Qingpi's thin body fell straight forward towards the front.

#############

In Huguan Canyon, Zhou Guanfu laughed and said, "It turns out that the Prime Minister has already planned everything."

Bai Mo narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "But Zhao Wu's ambition is too great and his ability is mediocre. He is really not an ideal partner."

Zhou Guanfu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What does the Prime Minister mean?"

Bai Mo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You will know when you arrive in Handan."

#############

In the Zhiling Chu Palace, the grand dynasty for rewarding meritorious officials was officially launched.

Whether it is the veterans of the two dynasties such as Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhou Yin, Zhong Li Mei, Yu Ziqi, or Gao Chu, Pang Yu and Meng Wei, they are all happy and excited, which is also a normal human nature. They hold their heads and fight with Xiang Zhuang to conquer the world. What is they trying to do? Isn’t it just a prince who has won a wife and a son?

However, before asking for a ban for yourself, you still have to pose.

The emperor Xiang was the first to go out and said: "King, please give the prince a wrong title to King Wei!"

The Grand Marshal Xiang Tuo was the second to come out and said: "King, I beg you to restore the old Wei!"

Veterans such as Hengchu, Ji Bu, Zhou Yin, Yu Ziqi also took the initiative: "I will discuss it!"

Seeing the civil and military officials in the court expressing their support for the restoration of the country and making him the King of Wei, the young man standing at the lower right of Xiangzhuang couldn't help but blush. Just a few days ago, he was just a gangster on the Wujiang River who relied on stealing and living a life of his life. But in the blink of an eye, he was about to be the King of Wei. Isn't this a damn dream?

Wei Yue, who was sitting on the left of Xiangzhuang (who was respected by the right in the pre-Qin period), was very frightened.

Although Wei Yue was the queen of Chu, today is her first time participating in the dynasty. Wei Yue was quite suspicious of Wei Cuo, the nephew who appeared out of thin air, and she did not agree to the title of Wei Cuo as King of Wei. Even if he was really the grandson of Wei Bao, if he had to be conferred the title of King of Wei, Wei Yue would even ask his second son, Xiang Quan.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiang Zhuang's lips, and he turned around and asked Wei Yue: "Queen, what about your opinion?"

Wei Yue wanted to object, but when she saw Xiang Zhuang's expression, she knew everything. She said helplessly: "But with the king's decision, I will accept everything."

Xiang Zhuang raised his hand slightly, and the noise in the hall stopped suddenly.

"Since you all have the same advice, I don't have the same opinion." Xiang Zhuang's eyes swept over Wei Cuo's excited face and said, "Well, then the five counties of Yingchuan, Dang, Chen, Dong and Nanyang will re-establish the State of Wei, and the Prince Cuo inherits the throne. I suggest that Gao Chu be the general of Wei and Baili Xian be the prime minister of Wei. What do you think?"

Xiang Zhuang's last sentence was asked by Wei Chou. Wei Chou hadn't reacted yet, but he suddenly woke up at the reminder of the minister next to him. He quickly bowed to Xiang Zhuang and replied, "Little man, uh no, Xiao Wang is all based on the King of Chu."

"Okay, then that's the matter." Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "Come on, add a seat for the King of Wei."

The palace servants had already raised a short couch and placed it on the lower right of Xiangzhuang's King's Couch. Wei Cuo, who had just been granted the title of Wei King by Xiangzhuang, couldn't wait to sit cross-legged.

Xiang Zhuang once again reached out to suppress the noise from the court and said, "Okay, now I will discuss the rewards of the princes and the beloved ministers." After that, Xiang Zhuang said to Xiang Heshou again, "The emperor, please give me a lot of merit."

Xiang turned around and waved his hand. More than a dozen minor officials walked into the hall with dozens of stacks of thin books. However, these thin books recorded the merits of civil servants and generals such as Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Meng Fu. According to the laws that reward scholars, peasants, industry and commerce implemented by Xiang Zhuang, achievements in scholars, peasants, industry and commerce were equivalent to being awarded titles for military achievements.

Then two loud-sounding officials began to sing in turn, just beheading dozens of levels, grabbing golden drums and flags, discovering several scholars, etc. Then the Lingyin Mansion gave a suggestion, and the ministers reviewed, Xiang Zhuang finally made a decision and decided to set a title. Of course, those who were qualified to be awarded the title of the Golden Palace would not be ordinary merits, at least they were the Marquis of Guandong (the Marquis of Guannei).

Xiang Zhuang conferred more than a hundred Guandong Housing in one breath, and only twenty civil and military officials were left in the court.

These twenty or so civil and military officials were the big heads. Xiang Zhuang raised his hand for the third time to suppress the noise in the court and said, "The remaining twenty-six ministers have made outstanding achievements in their military achievements or have worked hard and made great contributions. They are not enough to show their merits, and even the marquises are still deficient. I decided to add three levels of title to the marquis, county dukes and national dukes."
