Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The old man had white beard and hair, and was dressed in shabby clothes. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on the head, with a long bronze sword on his knees. flustered.

The general stepped forward with his sword in hand, and sternly shouted at the old man, "You are Lord Xinling's mastermind?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the general, and then said: "A certain Hou Ying, I have seen the general."

"Hou Ying?" The general was stunned for a moment, only feeling that the name seemed familiar, and he remembered it immediately, and then let out a sneer.

"Who am I supposed to be this general? It turned out to be the little official from the Yi family! Do you know that Lord Xinling held the bridle for you yesterday and has become the laughing stock of Daliang City?"

Hou Ying looked calm, and looked at the general with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Although Ying was born madly, it is really lucky for you to recognize him with your wise eyes and treat him with courtesy. Your majesty holds on to the bridle for Ying, In fact, it is the way of being courteous to the virtuous and inferior, and the more virtuous the emperor is. If you laugh at the emperor by this, you are really a fool."

Hou Ying's words were very tough, and the general was so angry that he didn't know how to refute.

But fortunately, the general immediately found a new direction for the confrontation, and shouted at Hou Ying: "Hou Ying! Your king's envoy, Ru Ji, stole the king's soldier amulet and wanted to do something wrong. The king knows it! If you do this Shi Fan repented, and if he could tell the king about Lord Xinling's plan, he could still live his life, but if you insist on following Lord Xinling, today is your day of death!"

The commotion in Lord Xinling's mansion was so big that it had already attracted the attention of many people. There were also many brave people who followed the soldiers and rushed into the mansion to watch. After these words, everyone turned pale with shock: "Mr. Xinling wants to make trouble?"

One must know that Lord Xinling Wei Wuji has always had a virtuous name and is recognized by the people of the Wei Kingdom as a virtuous ruler. It is obvious that such a virtuous ruler would rebel and cause rebellion, which was obviously beyond the expectation of the common people in Daliang City.

As Wei Wuji's courtier, Hou Ying couldn't allow this misunderstanding to continue.

Hou Ying sneered and said in a loud voice: "The general's words are so ridiculous! Everyone knows the king's virtuous name, but the king doesn't have an official position in Wei, why? It's nothing more than the king of Wei I am jealous of the virtuous and capable, and I am afraid that the king's ability will endanger his throne!"

"But who is your lord? He is a sage king of the Wei state, a great talent in the world, loyal to the state of Wei, and has never rebelled against the king of Wei. Even though King Yu of Wei trusted the treacherous officials Gao Ji and Duan Gan The sons and sons believed in the words of their generation and repeatedly harmed the king, and the king never complained."

"However, King Yu of Wei can make progress with every inch! Today, Qin and Zhao are fighting against Shangdang. Everyone knows that Wei will be in danger if Zhao dies. It is ridiculous that Wei Wangyu decided to attack Wei because of Gao Jizhi's slander. Persuasion failed, but Wei Wang Yu ordered him to return the title, intending to kill the king's life, is this what an upright king does?"

Hou Ying's voice became louder and louder, and he only said that the general of Wei State was speechless, and the onlookers were even more excited. Wei Wangyu came.

The general was furious, and suddenly pulled out the bronze sword in his hand, and shouted to the crowd behind him: "If there are any more noisy people, kill them!"

The crowd quieted down, but there were still many people around who looked at the general with disdain, obviously seeing the general as a negative character.

The general turned his head, glared at the old man in the hall, and shouted: "Hou Ying! No matter how much you argue, Wei Wuji's theft of talismans is as solid as a mountain of evidence!"

Hou Ying looked at the general and smiled.

Not only did he laugh, but he was also extremely rampant, laughing hysterically.

The general said angrily: "How ridiculous!"

Hou Ying stopped laughing slowly, and a dazzling look suddenly burst out in his eyes.

The next moment, Hou Ying's voice sounded again.

"Qin State and Wei State are feuds. Zhao State and Wei State are allies. Wei Wangyu abandons his allies and becomes feud with the world. Isn't this the way of self-destruction? Today, the king stole the talisman of Wei Wangyu to make up for it. Wei Wangyu's fault is to preserve the status of the Wei State!"

When Hou Ying said this, he suddenly stood up and shouted to the generals, soldiers and many onlookers in front of him: "My lord is a man of loyalty, benevolence and righteousness. It is ridiculous that Wei Wangyu can't use it. Although he won I am not talented, but I would like to do this myself to prove that my king is the heart of the country! It is ridiculous that Wei Wangyu is stupid and unreasonable, and he is close to his courtiers. If this person stays on the throne for a long time, Wei will die at the hands of this person! Woohoo, how sad also!"

Hou Ying screamed with grief and anger on his face, but the audience was completely silent, and a needle could be heard.

As soon as Hou Ying finished speaking, he immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand, and wiped it fiercely towards his throat.

A soaring blood flower bloomed proudly with the exclamation of the crowd, and then slowly withered as Hou Ying's body fell to the ground.

Hou Ying died by cutting himself.

Chapter 1 Handan Great Court Conference

December 260, 10 BC, morning.

Zhao State Handan Miyagi, Longtai.

Unlike usual, dozens of ministers were sitting in the left and right rows of the Dragon Terrace today, adding up to a total of nearly a hundred people, which looked quite lively.

This is a great court meeting of Zhao State.

To be honest, Zhao Guo hasn't held a big court meeting for several years.

The nominal reason is that there is nothing worth discussing in the court council, but the real reason is that the monarch of Zhao State has centralized power to a certain extent, and can decide military and state affairs without going through the court council.

Perhaps it was also for this reason that the ministers of Zhao Guo in the main hall of Longtai seemed to be in a good mood today. The hall was quite lively, and many people were chatting and connecting with each other.

At this very moment, Yu Xin was talking with a doctor Zhao Guozhong named Zhao Yu beside him.

This Zhao Yu was about forty years old, dressed in a gray Hu suit, with red dots on the cuffs and neckline, and a swan crown on his head. With a flattering smile on his face, he said to Yu Xin: "Shangqing, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are even more charming."

There is no doubt that this Zhao Yu is flattering.

In fact, Zhao Yu was far from the only one who wanted to flatter Yu Xin at this point in time.

Nowadays, who in the state of Zhao doesn't know that Yu Xin is very trustworthy to Zhao Dan, and because of his mission to the state of Chu, he made great contributions, so Zhao Dan was appointed as the guardian, and presided over the daily administration of the state of Zhao during the period after the departure of Xiangbang Zhao Sheng Work, it can be said that the future is promising.

Moreover, with the death of Lin Xiangru, the former leader of the commoner faction, another giant general of the commoner faction, Lian Po, led his troops out again. At this moment, Yu Xin jumped from the last of the original three giants of the commoner faction, and has become a new commoner faction. The leader's momentum.

All of these, as long as people with a little bit of political vision are very clear in their hearts, if it is said that Yu Xin was one of the six ministers of Zhao Guo just because of Zhao Dan's trust, then at this time, The rise of Yu Xin in Zhao State is completely unstoppable.

Even after Zhao Sheng returns, Yu Xin may still have to hand over the power that is not hot in his hands, but it is already a certainty that this Zhao Guoshangqing will truly become an important pole in Zhao Guo's political arena.

Of course, it is better to make friends with such a person quickly.

Yu Xin looked at Zhao Yu, smiled back, and said, "If you can't trust me, how dare you speculate on the king's intentions? But I think it must be related to the Battle of Changping."

Although Zhao Yu was only a Chinese doctor, Zhao Yu's father was the half-brother of King Zhao Wuling, so Zhao Yu also belonged to the Zhao family, and could be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

However, the identity of this public clan is not valued by Yu Xin. In Yu Xin's view, what is more important is Zhao Yu's current official position as Jinyang Order.

As the base camp on which the Zhao family made their fortune, although Jinyang City is no longer the capital of Zhao State, its importance to Zhao State is still beyond doubt.

Zhao Yu being able to be assigned to Jinyang, Zhao's hometown, as the city guard is enough to prove Zhao Yu's trustworthiness.

In fact, Zhao Yu has always been one of the backbone of the Gongzu faction.

For such a person, Yu Xin certainly wanted to win him over.

In Zhao's political arena, the so-called Gongzu faction and commoner faction are actually just a relatively general distinction.

Although there is a boundary between the two factions, they have not formed a close community of interests like the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, and the Zhejiang Party in later generations, and they are far from the point where you will die.

Except for the inevitable disputes between the six giants of Zhao State who are at the top of the power pyramid in order to fight for power and profit, the middle and low-level Zhao Guo ministers of the other Gongzu faction and the commoner faction get along relatively harmoniously.

This is why Yu Xin, as one of the six giants and the actual leader of the commoner faction, can get along with Zhao Yu, the backbone of the public faction. After all, there is no actual conflict between the interests of the two parties.

After all, we are all colleagues, so if we are so stiff, it will not be easy to carry out work if we meet in the future.

So whether it was Yu Xin or Zhao Yu, since both of them wanted to make friends with each other, the atmosphere of this conversation was of course relatively relaxed.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly after listening to Yu Xin's words.
