Iron Dynasty

My minister agrees!

The minister also agrees!

...

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites, a group of ministers agreed. Now that King Zhao’s soldiers and horses occupied the entire city of Chang’an, and the prince murdered the king again, he was put in prison again. Now he can only watch for King Zhao’s horses. After all, no one wants to lose their heads.

King Zhao on the throne smiled. These ministers were very aware of current affairs. He didn't care about Xiao Wenxuan's funeral. He could just bury him in the emperor's tomb according to the rules. He didn't even want to spend any extra money on this matter.

The thirteenth prince's ascension to the throne is just a formality. Now that the seal of the Great Yu Kingdom is in his hands, he has already mastered the supreme power.

While the hall was full of flattery, an official suddenly walked into the middle and scolded the courtiers: A group of cowardly and cowardly, who recognize thieves as their father's disciples, the spirit of the late emperor has not yet rested, but you are disregarding propriety, integrity and honor to welcome such rogue thieves. .

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty said angrily: Nonsense, what do you know as a little speaker!

Bold, you are disrespectful to King Zhao.

Shut up, how can you be presumptuous in the courtroom!

...

King Zhao's smile gradually solidified at this moment. He looked at the official standing at the end and asked, Who are you? Where are you?

The young man who spoke out against the ministers said, Someone is a 19th grade speaker, surnamed Sun, and famous!

Speaker! King Zhao laughed disdainfully, and he said, There are really no decent officials in this city of Chang'an, and even a small speaker can enter the hall.

Sun Li sneered: The rebellious thieves dare to sit on the dragon chair. This court is just a place to hide the filth. If someone didn't scold you and other thieves in person, he wouldn't come here!

You bastard, someone will take this man down and hack him to death! Zhao Yuanliang endured his anger when Sun Li said the first sentence, but now he can't help it anymore.

Sun Li raised his head to look at the sky, and he was not afraid. He said to the King of Zhao: The Crown Prince murdering the monarch is a great treason, but the Thirteenth Prince should also have the last emperor's edict. If not, how can you establish the Thirteenth Prince by your own words? for you.

King Zhao's eyes narrowed, like a beast that devoured people. He stood up and walked from the throne to Sun Li.

Just rely on this sharp sword in this king's hand.

King Zhao's face suddenly twisted, and a sword pierced Sun Li's chest.

Rebel, you have to die sooner or later! Sun Li spat out a mouthful of blood and his eyes widened.

Other officials shivered with fright, while some officials slumped on the ground.

This Sun Li actually ran into His Royal Highness King Zhao, damn it!

Yes, damn it!

...

The officials applauded tremblingly.

King Zhao's face was icy cold, and then he suddenly burst into laughter. He raised the sword in his hand and pointed at the ministers in the court hall one by one. As long as the ministers pointed to were immediately turned pale with fright.

Seeing this, King Zhao became more and more happier, and couldn't help laughing, Hahaha, you Aiqings don't have to worry, the main thing is that you can help this king wholeheartedly, and this king will return to keep you safe.

Yes, Your Highness. The loyal minister immediately shouted loudly.

King Zhao nodded, and said at this time: In this case, we will make an alliance with blood. If you dare to betray this king, you will end up like this. {

Baiguan looked at Sun Li, who was lying on the ground, and became more and more afraid.

After a pause, King Zhao said, Yuanliang, go and get a bowl. Today, everyone will drink the blood of Sun Li with this king.

Yes, Father.

After all, Zhao Yuanliang sent someone to get the porcelain bowl. After a while, the guards came with the porcelain bowl. After Sun Li's blood was filled, the guards gave the bowl to the ministers.

Then some of the other guards poured wine into each official's bowl while holding the wine jar.

After seeing that every minister had everything in his hands, King Zhao took the wine mixed with blood and drank it, then slammed the bowl to the ground.

Baiguan, look at me, I look at you, no one dared to drink at this time.

Yeah! Zhao Wang let out an angry hum at this time.

Under the deterrence of King Zhao, the ministers gritted their teeth and drank the wine with their eyes closed.

At this time, King Zhao was slightly satisfied, and he said: Tomorrow, the first emperor will be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the day after tomorrow, the thirteenth prince will be enthroned.

Yes, Your Highness.

The ministers responded.

With a wave of his hand, King Zhao ordered Baiguan to leave. After the civil and military officials left, Zhao Yuanliang and Wang Xi walked to King Zhao's side.

Father, this move is really high. I see who will dare to oppose us in Chang'an in the future. Zhao Yuanliang said.

Wang Xi also said, That's not it, all the little ninth-grade speakers dare to insult His Highness like this, it's just against him.

This kind of clerk is the most suitable for killing chickens and warning monkeys. You don't need to take it seriously. King Zhao sneered, and then he asked, Yuanliang, have all the food, grass, and weapons in the Chang'an government's treasury been cleared?

Father, it's clear, the treasury contains 1 million taels of gold, 12 million taels of silver, and 7 million taels of grain... Zhao Yuanliang listed the various materials in the treasury one by one.

King Zhao nodded with satisfaction. He said, With this treasury as the cornerstone, this king, He Chou, cannot rule the world. It's just a pity that half of these materials have to be given to the barbarians.

It's really a pity. Zhao Yuanliang said: If you knew that Chang'an City could be captured so easily, why did you borrow troops from the barbarians in the first place.

No, with the 50,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians, we have the advantage of chasing the deer in the world, and every time we go to a city, we can get a lot of money from the city total. This business is still worthwhile. Zhao Wang said.

When Zhao Yuanliang heard the words, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, he remembered Xiao Ming's humiliation to him, so he said: Father is right, there are a lot of cities outside Chang'an, especially this land of Qingzhou, if you take it Now, we will not worry about the casting of this musket and artillery.

You mean to attack Qingzhou? King Zhao frowned.

Yes, Father.

Seeing King Zhao's displeased expression, Wang Xi thought that King Zhao must have other ideas, so he said to Zhao Yuanliang: His Royal Highness, don't be impatient, this King Qi is not a simple person, and the situation in the world is changing rapidly, if we rashly Going to war with the King of Qi may only damage the soldiers and generals, and the strength will be greatly reduced, on the contrary, it will let other vassal kings sit and reap the benefits.

King Zhao's brows stretched a little. This was what he thought. All the arquebuses and artillery in the world came from Qingzhou. In addition, the barbarians were defeated twice by Xiao Ming. At this time, he was not willing to directly conflict with Xiao Ming. .

In his opinion, now not only can he not turn against Xiao Ming, but he has to appease Xiao Ming, so that he has time to control the royal family and the land in his own hands.

After clearing up the other vassal kings, he turned around and annihilated Xiao Ming with the barbarians with an absolute superiority of force.
