Chapter 204 The Wrath of the Lord 4
"Hight, who is it?"
Seeing a horse coming towards the palace gate in the distance, the guard on the upstairs door was already alert and quickly opened his bow and arrows, and the arrow pointed straight at the person. The movement here shocked the Zhao pawns around the tower and surrounded them one after another.
Zhao Yongle stopped the horse and raised his head and shouted loudly, "Why, don't you know me?"
The Praetorian Guard was the army brought out by Zhao Yong. Many old soldiers in the army have followed him to fight on the battlefield. How could they not recognize him? Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yong raised his head and spoke, there was already an uproar on the tower. A group of soldiers saluted one after another, and Zhao Yong also nodded with a smile.
At this time, an old man who looked like a heavy officer came forward, poked out his head at the wall and bowed his head and said, "See the master."
Zhao Yong looked up and looked at him carefully, and suddenly said, "Wang Ling, you have become the Marquis of Qu. Why have I never heard of it?"
The general who called "King's Mausoleum" in the master's mouth was surprised and happy, and said, "Lord, do you still remember the humble position?"
Zhao Yong laughed and said, "Why don't you remember that you were under the blind man, right?"
Wang Ling was in tears and said, "Exactly, I didn't expect that my father cared so much about his subordinates that he still remembered his humble position."
Zhao Yong smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to the palace to see my son now. Open the palace door quickly."
Wang Ling was stunned and said bluntly, "Master, the rules in the palace can't be opened casually after closing the palace door. It requires the consent of the lieutenant. Lieutenant Xin is watching the night in the palace. Can you ask him first..."
The palace gate system was originally formulated by Zhao Yong during his tenure, and it was not easy for him to refute, so he simply nodded generously. Wang Ling went back to repay and soon brought back the letter period.
Seeing that it was indeed the master under the gate of the letter, he couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly bowed and saluted; "See the master at the end."
An idea flashed in my mind. Shouldn't the master be on behalf of the earth? Why did he suddenly appear outside the palace gate at this time? Is there any plot? Looking around carefully, I saw that although the master was only riding one by one, the dark shadows in the night could not see whether there was an ambush, and I couldn't help worrying.
Zhao Yong saw that although Xinqi was saluteing to himself again, he looked around with a very rude expression and couldn't help sneering. "Since you know it's me, why don't you open the palace door? Is it possible that I am not qualified to enter the palace?"
Xinqi arched his hand and said, "The master's father wants to see the king when he enters the palace."
Zhao Yong's eyes became cold and said, "Why do I have to explain to you? Do I have to get your approval to see who I go to the palace?"
Xinqi was quite hesitant at this time. He was originally from a Hu people. Because of his straightforward temperament, he was suppressed because he offended Shangguan. He had been in the army for more than 20 years, but he did not stand out. Fortunately, Lai Feiyi was able to take a smooth step and take the position of commander of the guard. The so-called scholar dies as a confidant. Feiyi is tantamount to having a rebirth of parents for the Xinqi, and Feiyi is also taken a fancy to his loyalty, so he was raised to the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
What Feiyi told him at the beginning was that no matter what the situation was, he must protect the safety of Zhao Wang. The letter period of the struggle in Shenxiao Palace naturally knew that the father in front of him was the biggest threat to the throne of King Zhao.
Especially when he breaks into the palace late at night, which inevitably makes him have infinite reverie.
After hesitating for a moment, Xinqi still chose to adhere to the principle and said, "Master, the king has already fallen asleep at this time. Why don't you go back to the palace first and see the king again after tomorrow."
Zhao Yong sneered and said, "Xinqi, you seem to have forgotten your identity. I'm the father of the State of Zhao. I can see my son at any time.
"How dare you stop me? How dare you are."
At this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and Xinqi had to bravely say, "Master, forgive me, the last general is also responsible. According to the palace rules, except for the king's rune after night, can anyone enter and exit the palace gate?"
"I'm the master."
"The master is not the king of Zhao."
Zhao Yong smiled instead of being angry, "Good letter period. Why didn't I find that you were so gutless before? It's really a mistake to use people."
At this time, the guards who patrolled the night had heard the movement and surrounded one after another, and there were as many as many as thousands of them, many of whom were old soldiers who had been fighting with Zhao Yong for many years, led by the tomb of the Marquis of Qu. When he saw that he rejected the master's father in the letter period, he shouted angrily: "Captain, the master father is the lord of the State of Zhao. Why do you refuse him to enter?"
"Cit up."
Xinqi said harshly, "I am the commander of the imperial guard. Although the master is the father of the king of Zhao, he is not the king of Zhao. No one can mobilize the imperial guard except the king."
Xinqi's words made the field an uproar, and many old soldiers shouted one after another to come up. In their hearts, the master father was the lord of the State of Zhao. As for the king of Zhao, he was just a child on his throne.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xinqi quickly surrounded his own soldiers and separated himself from the riot soldiers.
The master looked at it coldly and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "The letter period prevented the widow from entering the palace and conspired with others. Come on, take him down."
The old guard in the city responded with a roar, Wang Ling took the lead, and a group of soldiers pulled out their swords one after another to besiege them. Xinqi pulled out his sword and shouted sternly, "The master intends to kill the king, and the troops listen to my order to kill the rebels."
Although Xinqi is usually very prestigious in the guard, it can't be compared with the master's father after all. Under the order of the Lord, a large number of loyal people flocked to the letter period. Dozens of people turned down the tower to open the palace door to welcome the master.
Originally, the heavy soldiers were still in hand. Under the order of the master, their men defected one after another. Only dozens of soldiers obeyed him. Most of the other soldiers were hesitant and chose to wait and see, allowing hundreds of soldiers to besiege the letter period.
The palace gate was soon opened, and Zhao Yong walked into the tower under the crowd of the guards anyway. At this time, the entanglement on the tower had also been fruit. Dozens of relatives around Xinqi died under the siege of several times the guards, and only a few strong people gathered around Xinqi and resisted bitterly.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, and he did not want to follow his brothers for many years to die here, he had no choice but to abandon the sword and sighed, "That's all. Father, you won.
After all, Zhao Yong is a person who admires his blood. At present, it is not difficult to believe it. He just makes people tie him up and wait for him to leave, and make his subordinates stand on standby. He himself strode to King Zhao's bedroom.
The ** of the East Gate has shocked the guards and palace guards in the bedroom. In a panic, they saw that the master's father came alone with a long sword. How dare he dare to resist? They all knelt down and say hi.
Zhao Yongru entered the no-man's land, rushed directly to Zhao He's bedroom, opened the palace door with his foot and walked in.
The lights have been lit in the hall. Zhao He was sitting in his pajamas with a pale face, with a panic on his face.
Zhao He had just been woken up. When he heard that his father was going to kill him, he was so scared that his hands and feet were cold. It took him a long time to come to his senses. First of all, he panicked and wanted to escape, but when he heard the killing outside the door, he was very scared and returned to the room.
Zhao Yong kicked open the door and strode in with his sword. Seeing that Zhao He was in the hall, he stopped and looked at him coldly.
Zhao He saw that his father's face was tense, and there was no longer any of the original kindness. He just looked at himself coldly, like a stranger.
Although he has been a king for many years, he has long been used to being strong and independent, but at this moment, in front of his father, the softest fragility of his heart is still difficult to hide. The fear in my heart was gradually replaced by grievances. His eyes turned red. He stood up and sniffed, and shouted "Father."
Zhao Yong was stunned, and the hatred in his heart faded more than half with Zhao He's aggrieved "father", and his expression gradually eased. He just frowned and shouted, "Look at your appearance, what kind of style is it? How can you look like King Zhao?"
Zhao He's eyes were red and swollen. He kept his head down. After a while, he looked up at the sword in Zhao Yong's hand and choked, "Father, are you going to kill me?"
Zhao Yong snorted coldly, put the sword back to its sheath and said, "You are my son. Why did I kill you?"
"Is the king going to abolish me?"
Zhao Yong stared at him and said, "I set you up. Didn't you slap yourself in the mouth?"
"I'm just here to ask you, whether you don't ask for instructions or pass it on to me about the King of Chu, do you still have me as a father, and do you still have me as a father?"
Zhao He saw that his father did not come to kill himself or waste himself, so he was a little relieved. Seeing that the master asked about this matter, he suddenly understood why his father was so angry.
Zhao He lowered his head and said, "Father, you were far away at that time, and it took a long time to ask for instructions back and forth, and I was afraid that something would happen, so his son made his own advice and listened to the opinions of his subordinates and sent Xiong Huai out of the State of Zhao."
Zhao Yong said coldly, "Let me ask you, this Xiong Huaigui is the former lord of the State of Chu, and he is very resentful of the State of Qin. If taking him in is extremely beneficial to my State of Zhao, why did you drive him out of Zhao's territory?"
Zhao He defended: "But if Xiong Huai is taken in, Qin and Zhao are bound to be evil, and today's king of Chu may not be grateful to my State of Zhao, which is very detrimental to our State of Zhao."
"Stupid." Zhao Yong shouted.
"You King Zhao are really short-sighted, and you can only see a little profit in front of you. Have you ever thought that Xiong Huai was detained in the State of Qin, and when his son ascended the throne, he just announced that he would temporarily replace his father. Xiong Huai has been the king for more than 30 years, and the followers of the party are all over the government and the opposition. In addition, he is restrained by Qin and refuses to give in to the State of Qin. The people have more pity and gratitude for him. If he returns to the State of Chu, he will definitely be able to regain control of the situation of the State of Chu. At that time, he will be grateful to our State of Zhao. Naturally, he will obey and hate the State of Qin to the bone. What do you think he will do if the State of Zhao and the State of Qin fights?
"This..." Zhao He was speechless. After thinking about it, he said, "But as the master said, the strength of the upper party is weak, and it is difficult for the State of Zhao to transfer the main force back to the war with the State of Qin. If the Qin army is ** Handan, we, the State of Zhao, are in danger. Even if Handan can defend it, it will be a disaster for life. I, the State of Zhao, have suffered heavy losses.
Zhao Yong sneered and said, "You mediocre talents don't know what cavalry is at all. Who told you that I would be entangled with the Qin army in our territory of Zhao. What do you think I have worked so hard to capture the land in the clouds? It's just to oppress Shangjun of the State of Qin from top to bottom.
"If the main force of the Qin army attacks the State of Zhao, I will not be able to ask for it. When you defend the city inside, I will personally lead the iron horse from the clouds to bypass Shangjun and go straight to the Qin Pass. At that time, Xianyang will be shaken, and the morale of the Qin army outside will definitely plummet. At that time, the State of Chu sent troops to Bashu and Hanzhong again, Wei and Han sent troops to recover the lost land, and the State of Yan went south to be wary of the State of Qi. In this way, it will be difficult for the State of Qin to stick to it.
Speaking of this, Zhao Yong is full of hatred in his heart. The elimination of the State of Qin is his biggest wish for decades. What he has done before is nothing more than to realize his ambition. But now because of his son's work, he has lost the opportunity to realize his dream. How can he not be very in his heart?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yong was so angry that he suddenly pulled out his sword and cut it forward fiercely.
"Zhao He, it is because of your stupidity that I let Zhao miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
