Chapter 208 Mountain Rain Is coming 1

At dawn, King Zhao's Palace, which had been noisy all night, had returned to tranquility. The dead and injured were dragged away and the blood stains were washed away. Last night, Yulin and the guard, who were red-eyed, continued to patrol according to their respective areas. They were at peace with each other, but occasionally the hatred flashed in their eyes.

As an important participant in the palace change last night, the city guard has completely withdrawn from the palace and returned to their battalion. Lieutenant Li Xi has strictly ordered these soldiers who participated in the palace change not to step out of the barracks within five days to prevent news leakage. Yulin, the guards and the eunuchs in the palace were also silenced, and the dead and injured all claimed to have been transferred to other places.

An imminent bloody court coup was forcibly suppressed by the master's simple words. The unified caliber of the palace is called the fire in the bedroom. The king urgently mobilized the Yulin, the guards and the city guards to enter the palace to fight the fire. Only the noble relatives living near the palace faintly heard the fighting from the palace and speculated in privately.

On the second day, Handan was calm as usual, but the seeds of hatred had been planted with each other. The conflict at the upper level of Zhao has proved to be difficult to reconcile, and now it is just a delay.

The Lord's return to the court is also extremely low-key, just like when he went north, not many people knew about it. At the court meeting the day after next, the ministers were surprised to find that the master had already sat in his seat. Except for some ministers who had received the news, most of the other officials were stunned.

The affairs of the dynasty are the same as before. The only thing that people notice is that the two factions of the Lord's Party and the Royal Party, which were able to get along well with each other, are getting more and more angry, and they quarreled with each other because of some small things in the court.

Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang has undoubtedly become the vanguard of the Lord's Party. Everything must be questioned again and again, and he has a clear stand against it on some major events. Xu Tian, the king of Lou Huan, followed closely. As for Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others naturally compete with him and argue in the court. Originally, it only took one and a half hours for the court meeting, and there was no conclusion for nearly three hours.

Seeing that the sun is getting higher and higher, it has been lunch time for a long time. Most of the doctors in the court are already hungry and crying bitterly. At first, the master still watched them quarrel patiently. Later, he became impatient, so he stood up and waved his hand to stop it. He ordered the matter to be discussed later and eat first. Seeing that the master's father was so reasonable, there was a secret cry at the bottom, and the ministers dispersed as birds and beasts after saying goodbye.

This court will undoubtedly send a signal to the ministers that the conflict between the master and the king has turned from the dark to the surface.

After a simple lunch, Zhao He stayed up all night last night and was frightened the day before yesterday. He is still restless. He was in a trance in the court all morning. Fortunately, the throne is high and the crowns are separated, which is not easy to be found.

After lunch, my headache became worse, so I went to bed and wanted to take a nap. As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the eunuch who came into the door.

When the eunuch saw that the king was woken up by himself and sat up, he was staring at himself with an unhappy face. He was extremely flustered and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. "I didn't want to disturb your majesty, and the king forgive me."

Zhao He is not a violent person. Although he is unhappy, he just waved his hand and said, "Get up, what do you want to report?"

The eunuch suppressed the panic in his heart and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the four adults, An Pingjun, Xiangbang, Da Si Kou and Neishi, are looking for a meeting outside the door. I saw that they seemed to have something important to tell, so I boldly came to disturb your majesty's dream."

When Zhao He heard that the four people asked for a meeting, he knew that it was another court dispute. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He really didn't want to meet. But in the end, it was not easy to refuse, so I had to wave my hand and invite four people into the hall.

Zhao Cheng and the four of them saluted in turn after seeing the hall, and Zhao He smiled reluctantly.

The first person to speak is Zhao Cheng. Zhao cost is the kind of person with a strong temperament. The older he is, the more he has a temper. Instead of restraining, he becomes stronger and stronger, and he can never hide his thoughts. Therefore, as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to stand up and arch his hand; "Your Majesty, we have been rewarded by the Nandaying. The night before yesterday, the generals of the three battalions of Pingyang, Lieren and Wu'an were not ordered by the king, so they urgently gathered their troops with the intention to be wrong. It was not until noon that the masses were dismissed and the alert was lifted. King, do you know what this means?

"King!"

Zhao He looked around. Although he seemed to be listening to Zhao Cheng's words, he looked absent-minded. It was not until Zhao Cheng shouted a few times that he came to his senses. "Oh," he nodded, and then shook his head again and said, "I don't know."

When Zhao Cheng saw that he didn't listen to his words at all, he was suddenly angry and suppressed his anger before saying, "The old minister meant to tell you that the master had been premeditated. Even if we took him down that night, he would besiege the city the next day and force us to surrender."

Zhao He smiled bitterly and said, "It's normal. My father is famous all his life, and he is the only one who controls others. Since he must have left a back hand when he entered the palace alone, this widow had already guessed it. What's so strange?

Zhao He's words are light, giving people a feeling of frustration, and it seems that he doesn't pay much attention to everything. Li Wei and Zhao, who sat opposite, looked at each other and both had a bad feeling.

If the king himself gives up, what name do they have to compete with the master? This is not what Li Dui expected.

Seeing Zhao He like this, Feiyi couldn't help reminding him, "Your Majesty, this is not the time for you to give up. I hope you can cheer up again for the sake of Zhao Guo's Jiangshan Sheji."

"Whump up." Zhao He smiled bitterly and asked, "Would you cheer up and do something wrong with my father?"

Seeing that Fei Yi was about to defend himself, Zhao He quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, master, let's stop worrying about this problem. I understand what you mean. Tell me what you want to do."

Fei Yi muttered, "Your Majesty, the master has been in charge of the army for more than 30 years. Now, although there is no tiger charm, he can still easily mobilize the army, which has become a problem here. If we can't solve this problem, all our efforts will be in vain.

Zhao He frowned and said, "Master, what do you want to do?"

Feiyi paused and said, "There are two ways, one is to reiterate the tiger charm system formulated by the master when the master is in power, and take back the authority of the border generals to privately transfer soldiers. When the master's father was in office, this system was strictly implemented. The mobilization of any army must be mobilized by the general holding a complete tiger charm. However, after the abdication of the master father did not hold the tiger charm, but had to mobilize the army to fight against the Hu people and Zhongshan, so it was relaxed. We might as well take the opportunity to bring up this matter again and clarify the tiger rune system here. This is the system that the master's father used to support in those years, and he has no excuse to oppose it.

Zhao He said hesitantly, "If this is the case, my father will definitely be furious, and the generals at the border gate must also be tied up. If they really meet the enemy's attack, won't it be a mistake."

Feiyi nodded and said, "The king's consideration is very reasonable, so we should treat it differently, not generalize. For example, the garrison of Yanmen in Yunzhong and the garrison of Shangdang, because it is very cumbersome to travel to and from Handan in the border area, a certain degree of autonomy is granted to the local generals. In case of emergency, the army can be mobilized through consultation between the chief general and the deputy general. However, in the city near Handan, such as the three battalions in the south, there is no need to grant the generals the power to mobilize troops privately in case they privately mobilize the army to besiege Handan.

The meaning in Feiyi's words is very obvious, that is, to narrow the scope of transfer, only for the third camp of Pingyang south of Handan. As for the border area, it does not affect the pattern of the court. This move can not only greatly eliminate the rebound in the army, but also be targeted.

After all, only the garrison of the three battalions, including Pingyang, is the only one that poses a real threat to Handan. Because Handan is close to the land of Qi and Wei in the Central Plains, and is also the gateway to the south of the State of Zhao, there have always been heavy troops stationed around Handan. They are stationed in the Pingyang Camp in the south, the Lieren Camp in the east and the Wu'an Camp in the west, in a semi-circular arc arch to guard the safety of Handan and the satellite city. Similarly, if the three battalions are out of control, the elite cavalry of the State of Zhao can rush to Handan City within half a day, posing a direct threat to Handan. If they get the inside and outside of the city, they can even enter Handan.

Therefore, the meaning of Feiyi's words is to regain the power of the three battalions to transfer troops, so as to eliminate the capital of the father to force the palace with heavy troops.

Zhao He said hesitantly, "It's just that, my father will be angry."

Zhao Cheng snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if the master is allowed to continue to take charge of the army, he will be a knife, and we are all fish in the case. If the army of the three battalions is not in control for a day, the master is equivalent to hanging a sword on your head and me. We dare not move much under the mouse taboo. Have you forgotten the farce of the Japanese army besieging the palace the other day? If it happens again next time, we may not be so lucky.

"In addition, the Praetorian Guard must also be re-cleaned. At that time, the master's father had been in charge of the imperial guard for many years, and there were many people loyal to him in the army, so he opened the gate without permission last time. I have discussed with Feiyi Xinqi that they can take out the soldiers who have been in the army for more than four years and re-select the imperial guard from the innocent inland garrison. In this way, even if the master's father suddenly makes trouble, we can still have the strength to control the situation.

Zhao He hesitated for a long time before he nodded slowly and said, "I know that you are also for the good of me, but I really don't want to participate in these things anymore. According to what my father said in those years, I could not fully fulfill the power of a king before I was 18 years old. I should discuss everything with my master and you. So if you decide to do something, just do it. I don't want to participate in it. But I need your assurance that you can't hurt my father's life at any time.

Seeing that Zhao Cheng seemed to have something else to say, Zhao He quickly stood up and said, "You might as well step back first. If you still have any objections, please tell me bluntly. I have a splitting headache now and want to take a nap for a while."

Everyone saw that the king of Zhao had issued an eviction order. Although they were a little unwilling, they had to salute and retreat in turn.
