Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

To be honest, as the order of Jinyang, Zhao Yu was also very concerned about the Battle of Changping.

Anyone with a little bit of geographical knowledge knows that once Zhao was defeated in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army would be able to break through the Nanshangdang Mountains and enter the Beishangdang Basin, and then attack Jinyang along the Fukouxing Exit on the west side of the Beishangdang Basin .

By that time, Jinyang will be in serious trouble.

You must know that most of the troops in Jinyang City have already been transferred to the Changping battlefield. At this moment, Jinyang City can be said to be quite empty.

In fact, Zhao Yu has been sitting in Jinyang for a while, until he received an order from Handan seven days ago, and then hurried back to Handan.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Yu, the city guard of Handan. Looking around in the main hall of the Dragon Terrace, one could also see the arrival of many city guards from Zhongmou, Lingshou, and Gu Cheng.

It can be said that looking at this hall, whether it is the powerful figures from the side of the town or the central ministers who sit in the center, almost all the dignified ministers in the entire Zhao Kingdom have gathered here.

This inevitably made the ministers curious.

What does your Majesty want to do?

However, whether it was the new favorite Yu Xin, or the other two giants Si Kou Zhao Bao and Yu Shi Lou Chang who were present, they didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Dan was selling in his gourd.

However, these ministers of Zhao State are not in a hurry, because they know very clearly in their hearts, and they will know the answer after a while.

After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the side door of the hall, two eunuchs walked into the hall first, and said to the ministers: "The king is coming!"

All the ministers stopped talking one after another, straightened their bodies one by one, and waited for Zhao Dan's arrival.

Soon, Zhao Dan appeared in front of everyone's sight.

Today, Zhao Dan is wearing a red royal suit, a crown on his head, a golden belt hook on his waist, and a pair of black boots on his feet. He looks energetic and strides into the palace.

Zhao Guo's officials did not dare to be negligent, and under the leadership of Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao, they all stood up and bowed to Zhao Dan.

"The minister has seen the king."

After the ceremony, the monarchs and ministers took their seats.

After Zhao Dan took his seat, he did not rush to speak, but first looked around at the dozens of ministers in the main hall of Longtai.

Almost every minister lowered his head subconsciously when he met Zhao Dan's gaze, expressing his respect to Zhao Dan.

After turning his eyes away from the last minister, Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said softly, "Where is the Lingshou Order?"

A minister who was nearly fifty years old, with a rickety waist and gray temples, came out holding a fluorene board, and said respectfully: "This is what Sima said."

"Sima said." Zhao Dan looked at the minister carefully, nodded, and then spoke in a very calm tone.

"Come here, take this Sima Shuo down."

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, several court guards of the Zhao Kingdom suddenly appeared, and immediately held Sima Shuo tightly, making him unable to move at all.

1 Chapter [-] Zhao Dan’s Lightning Means

Zhao Dan's attack was so sudden that all Zhao's ministers in the entire hall were stunned for a moment.

This is just the beginning, why did they suddenly arrest people?

The script is wrong!

Among them, the most shocking one was, of course, Sima Shuo himself, who was firmly supported by several palace guards.

Sima said while struggling, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, what is your crime that caused your Majesty to treat you like this?"

Zhao Dan looked at Sima Shuo, and the information about Sima Shuo appeared in his mind.

This Sima said that he was born in the Sima family of South Korea. His ancestor was Han Jue, the former great Sima of the Jin Dynasty, with the posthumous title of Han Xianzi, one of the previous monarchs of Korea, so this Sima family is also one of the branches of the Korean public clan today.

Decades ago, during the era of King Zhao Wuling, the Sima family of South Korea was forced to flee South Korea due to the failure of the political struggle, and came to settle in Zhao State.

Li Dui, a power official in the period of King Zhao Hui, had always been very distrustful of the Sima family, and even secretly complained to people close to him: "Sima family is also a Korean. It's unbelievable."

During the decades when Fengyang Jun Li Dui was in power in Zhao State, the Sima clan was not allowed to be reused, and was even suppressed.

It wasn't until Li Dui was dismissed by Zhao Huiwang that the Sima family gradually emerged in Zhao Guozhong and began to look good.

Six years ago, Sima Shuo, the current patriarch of the Sima family, was appointed as Lingshou Ling during the regency of Zhao Wei, and governed the old land of Zhongshan centered on Lingshou City. This marked the beginning of Sima's entry into the power circle of Zhao State.

In the past six years, Sima said that although the governance of Lingshou City is not very outstanding, it can be called conscientious and conscientious, at least the other ministers of the state of Zhao who were present felt so.

No matter how you look at it, Sima said that even if he is not a top talent, there is no problem in saying that he is a qualified Lingshou Ling.

This made these Zhao Guo ministers feel that Sima Shuo seemed a little wronged.

And Sima said that these six years were not in vain, at least in Zhao's political arena, Sima's allies still have a few.

So at that moment, several ministers of Zhao State came out and said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, I heard that Sima said that he is conscientious and conscientious, and he has never heard of any treasonous acts. Could it be that Your Majesty has misunderstood?"

Sima said that when he saw someone interceding for him, he even shouted for grievances loudly at that time. Just looking at Sima's appearance, it seemed that he had suffered incomparably wronged.

Zhao Dan sat on the front seat, looked at Sima Shuo with a half-smile, and glanced at the ministers of Zhao Guo who interceded for Sima Shuo, and said slowly: "Do you really think that Sima Shuo is innocent?"

Several ministers of Zhao Guo looked at each other, and finally one of the Chinese doctors bit the bullet and said: "If your majesty has evidence of Sima's crimes, it is better to show it to the ministers to see, otherwise your majesty will rashly put Sima in prison, I'm afraid It’s hard to convince the crowd.”

"Forget it." Zhao Dan nodded and said: "I will convince you today."

After saying this, Zhao Dan waved his hand and said loudly, "Submit it."

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, a few more court guards of the Zhao Kingdom brought several large bundles of bamboo slips to the hall, came to Zhao Dan and put down the bamboo slips, rummaged through them again, and put a bamboo slip in the hall. Put it on the table in front of Zhao Dan.

This behavior made the other ministers of the Zhao Kingdom in the hall look at each other in blank dismay, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Dan's gourd.

Zhao Dan unhurriedly picked up the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and read it out.

"On October [-]th, Emperor Wu ordered Fu Bao to send an envoy to visit Sima and said that he would bring five carts of gifts into the mansion, and leave the mansion in three hours. Sima said that he would personally deliver them to the gate of the mansion, and both parties were happy."

"On October 24, Fu Bao's emissary arrived with another three carts of gifts, and left the mansion a quarter of an hour later. Sima Shuo's eldest son delivered them to the side door and left."

"In November, Fu Bao led the Wuyuan people to rebel against Zhao Jiangyan. Three days later, Fu Bao's envoys went to Sima Shuo's mansion, entered through the back door, and left through the back door."

Zhao Dan read it one by one, the more he read Sima Shuo's face became more surprised and fearful, and at the end Sima Shuo's body even trembled involuntarily.

The other ministers of the State of Zhao also turned pale when they heard this.

You must know that Wu Yuan ordered Fu Bao to lead the people to descend to Yan, which has long been known to the world. This Sima said that he is so close to Fu Bao, and the reason for his plot is clearly revealed.

"On December [-]th, Fu Bao left for Handan from Lingshou City. Before he left, he asked his eldest son for a long time. After Fu Bao left, his eldest son secretly recruited a large number of rangers in the city, and contacted Sima's cronies, It seems to have an evil heart."

After reading this, Zhao Dan has finished reading the contents of the bamboo slip.

Zhao Dan put down the bamboo slips, looked at Sima in front of him with a calm expression, and said, "Sima said, what else do you have to say?"
