"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
“……”
A number of Ministers echoed after the officials of the Ministry of rites. Now the soldiers and horses of the king of Zhao occupied the whole Chang'an City, and the prince killed his king and was put in prison. Now he has to be the leader of the king of Zhao. After all, no one wants to lose his head.
The king of Zhao on the throne is smiling. These ministers are very aware of current affairs. He doesn't care about Xiao Wenxuan's funeral. He can bury himself in the imperial mausoleum according to the rules. He doesn't even want to spend more money on it.
Now the seal of the state of Dayu is in his hands. He has already mastered the supreme power.
When the hall was full of flattery and flattery, an official suddenly came to the middle and scolded a group of courtiers: "a group of cowardly and cowardly people who accepted thieves as their fathers. The spirit of the former Emperor has not yet rest in peace, but we have no respect for etiquette, justice and shame to welcome these rioters."
As soon as the words came out, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty angrily said: "nonsense, what do you know as a little official?"
"Bold, you are disrespectful to the king of Zhao."
"Shut up, how can you be presumptuous in the court?"
“……”
Zhao Wang's smile gradually solidified at this moment. He looked at the official standing at the end and asked, "who are you? What's your position? "
The young man who denounced the officials said, "I'm a 19 grade official. My surname is sun. My name is Li."
"Yan Guan!" Zhao Wang disdained to smile, he said: "this Chang'an city is really no decent officials, a small speech officer can also enter."
Sun Li sneered: "the rebellious rioters dare to sit on the Dragon chair. This court is just a place to hide filth. If someone didn't want to scold you rioters face to face, he wouldn't come here!"
"Bastard, someone will take this man down and chop him to death!" Zhao Yuanliang held back his anger when Sun Li said the first sentence. Now he can't help it.
Sun Li looked up at the sky. He was not afraid. He said to the king of Zhao, "the prince is treacherous, but the thirteen princes should have the imperial edict. If not, how can you make the thirteen princes king by your own words."
The king of Zhao's eyes narrowed, like a beast that chooses people to eat. He stood up and walked to Sun Li from the throne.
"With the sword in my hand."
The face of King Zhao suddenly twisted and stabbed Sun Li's chest with a sword.
"Traitor, you will die sooner or later!" Sun Li spat out a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes angrily.
Other officials trembled with fear, while some of them just sat on the ground.
"This Sun Li ran into his royal highness King Zhao, damn it!"
"Yes, damn it!"
“……”
The officials cheered with trembling cheers.
The king of Zhao's face was cold, and then he burst out laughing. He held up his sword and pointed to the ministers in the court one by one. As long as the ministers were pointed, they immediately turned pale.
Seeing this, the king of Zhao became more and more happy and couldn't help laughing. "Ha ha ha, you Aiqing don't have to worry. If you can help me wholeheartedly, I will let you be safe."
"Yes, your highness." The loyal minister cried out at once.
Zhao Wang nodded, then said: "in this case, we will be blood alliance, if you dare to betray the king, the end when such a person." All the officials looked at Sun Li, who fell to the ground. They were more and more afraid.
After a pause, the king of Zhao said, "Yuanliang, go and get the bowl. Today you will drink the blood of Sun Li with the king."
"Yes, father."
After that, Zhao Yuanliang sent someone to get the bowl. Soon, the guards came with the bowl in their arms. After Sun Li's blood, the guards gave the bowl to the ministers.
Then some other bodyguards were holding the wine jar to pour wine into each official's bowl.
After seeing that every minister had everything in his hand, King Zhao took the wine mixed with blood and drank it down, then threw the bowl on the ground.
You look at me and I look at you. No one dares to drink at this time.
"Well!" Then the king of Zhao let out an angry hum.
Under the threat of King Zhao, the ministers clenched their teeth and drank the wine with their eyes closed.
At this time, King Zhao was slightly satisfied, he said: "tomorrow will be the first emperor buried in the mausoleum, the day after the 13th prince ascended the throne ceremony."
"Yes, your highness."
Answered the ministers.
After waving his hand, the king of Zhao ordered all officials to leave. After the civil and military officials left, Zhao Yuanliang and Wang Xi came to the king of Zhao.
"Father, this move is really high. I don't know who dares to fight against us in Chang'an." Zhao Yuanliang said.
Wang Xi also said: "it's not true that every little jiupinyan official dares to insult his highness like this. It's against him."
"These petty officials are most suitable to set an example to others. They don't need to pay attention to them." The king of Zhao sneered, and then he asked, "Yuanliang, has the Chang'an Treasury been cleared of grain and weapons?""Father, make it clear that there are 1 million taels of gold, 12 million taels of silver and 7 million taels of grain in this treasury..." Zhao Yuanliang told all kinds of materials in the Treasury one by one.
The king of Zhao nodded his head with satisfaction. He said, "with this treasury as the cornerstone, I don't worry that I can rule the country. It's a pity that I have to give half of these materials to the barbarians."
"It's a pity." Zhao Yuanliang said: "if you know that Chang'an city is so easy to win, why did you borrow troops from barbarians at the beginning?"
"No, with the barbarian's 50000 iron cavalry, we will have the advantage of competing in the world, and we can get a lot of money and food from the city every time we go to the next city. It's worth the business." Said the king.
When Zhao Yuanliang heard the speech, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He thought of Xiao Ming's humiliation, so he said, "my father is right. There are a lot of cities outside Chang'an, especially Qingzhou. If we take it, we won't worry about the casting of guns and artillery."
"You mean attack Qingzhou?" The king of Zhao frowned.
"Yes, father."
Wang Xi saw Zhao's displeasure and thought that Zhao must have other ideas. So he said to Zhao Yuanliang, "don't be impatient, your highness. The king of Qi is not a simple person. And now the world is changing rapidly. If we fight with him rashly, I'm afraid it will only damage our troops and our strength. On the contrary, it will make other vassal kings reap profits."
King Zhao's brow stretched. That's what he thought. The world's rifles and artillery all came from Qingzhou. In addition, the barbarians were defeated by Xiao Ming twice. He was not willing to have a direct conflict with Xiao Ming at this time.
In his opinion, now he can not turn against Xiao Ming, but also appease him. In this way, he will have time to control the royal family and the land in his own hands.
After getting rid of the other vassals, he went back to annihilate Xiao Ming with the barbarians.
