Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In the next moment, Zhao Dan, dressed in a royal robe and with a very serious expression on his face, appeared in the eyes of everyone accompanied by Zhao Sheng and other ministers.

Zhao Sheng and the others met Zhao Dan's Wang Jia on the way. Regarding Zhao Dan's behavior of wanting to meet with the students, Zhao Sheng and the others expressed worry and opposition without exception. Zhao Sheng even said bluntly: " Your Majesty, what qualifications does this mere scholar have to talk to your Majesty?"

But Zhao Dan, who had already made up his mind, did not listen to the opinions of Zhao Sheng, and still came to this scene.

Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Zhao Dan frowned. Although he had heard Mao Sui's report, the scene in front of him still made Zhao Dan subconsciously displeased.

As soon as Wang Jia arrived, a road appeared naturally, and Zhao Dan's Wang Jia followed this road to the front, which was in front of the prince of Chu.

The Crown Prince of Chu stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhao Dan: "I have seen you, Your Majesty."

The crowd fell silent, tens of thousands of eyes fixed on Zhao Dan, waiting for Zhao Dan to speak.

Zhao Dan looked at the Crown Prince of Chu State in front of him, and said slowly: "Is it you who handled this matter today?"

The Crown Prince of Chu was stared at by Zhao Dan, and suddenly he felt very guilty, and was speechless for a while.

If he said yes, would it make Zhao Dan angry?Would it be too weak to say no?

The weakness of the Crown Prince of Chu clearly fell into everyone's eyes. Several Confucian priests looked at each other and saw the anxious expression on each other's faces.

Fortunately, at this time, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, now we are discussing whether to send troops to rescue Chu State. Why is Your Majesty bothering about such trivial matters?"

Zhao Dan suddenly raised his head, looked towards the direction of the voice, and locked his eyes firmly on a scholar with a Confucian crown on his head.

Said that this Confucian scholar seemed to be afraid that others would not see him, so he stood up when everyone was sitting quietly on the ground, as if he stood out from the crowd.

"Not good!" Several Confucian Jijiu's expressions changed, and they yelled in their hearts that it was not good.

However, before these Confucian sacrificial wine drinkers could speak, Zhao Dan had already said coldly: "The widow speaks, when is it your turn to intervene, let the widow take it!"

As soon as Zhao Dan gave an order, several experts of surveillance guards who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward and rushed towards the Confucian scholar.

This situation was obviously beyond the expectations of the Confucian scholar, and he wanted to dodge subconsciously. Several Confucian scholars standing beside him stepped forward to stop him. Then he scolded, at the moment when he was in a bad mood, how could he be lenient?

With a fist and a kick, all the Confucian scholars were detained.

Zhao Dan snorted heavily, and said coldly: "I don't know the dignity and inferiority, and I don't know the law of the king. Is this the scholar taught by Confucianism? I have really learned a lot today. Since the Confucianism can't teach, then the widow today I will teach you and others. Where is Yu Xin?"

Yu Xin, who was standing aside with Zhao Sheng and others, didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out of the line and shouted: "The minister is here!"

Zhao Dan said: "You are the commander of criminals, and you are in charge of the criminal law. Come and talk to the widow about how to deal with this?"

As Zhao Dan's confidant for many years, Yu Xin naturally understood Zhao Dan's meaning, and immediately said loudly: "This man's words have offended the king before, and he openly resisted arrest. He will be punished for both crimes and should be punished!"

As soon as Yu Xin finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion.

What is Kun punishment?Kun punishment is actually to shave the head.

Although shaving your head will attract strange looks in later generations, it is not a big deal.But now Buddhism has not been introduced to the Central Plains, and the Huaxia countries pay attention to "parents who receive the body, hair and skin", so this punishment is a very severe punishment.

Once tortured, walking on the street with a bald head will attract countless strange looks every minute, which is very insulting to people.The so-called "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated", although this kind of punishment does not cause any physical damage to a person, it definitely hurts the victim's psychology very seriously.

Hearing this, Xun Kuang finally couldn't hold back any longer, hurriedly stepped out to Zhao Dan, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this son made an unintentional mistake, please be magnanimous, Your Majesty, and forgive him once."

"Forgive him once?" Zhao Dan snorted, looked at Xun Kuang in front of him with the eyes of an idiot, with a very disappointed expression on his face: "Xun Qing, if anyone breaks the law, they can be punished lightly, then What is the purpose of the ancestors of the Zhao State enacting this law? Today, you want to let the widow violate the criminal laws made by the ancestors of the past generations for the sake of a scholar, what is your intention?"

Xun Kuang's face turned green and pale at Zhao Dan's words, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhao Dan did not look at Xun Kuang, but directly set his eyes on the Crown Prince of Chu, and said very calmly: "You are the Crown Prince of Chu, and your heart is commendable for the sake of the State of Chu and your father. I promise you here, I will discuss this matter with the ministers, if all the ministers agree, then it may not be impossible to send troops to aid Chu, but "

Zhao Dan paused, and continued: "You gathered people to make trouble today, but you violated the laws of Zhao State. If I don't punish you, then someone will follow suit in the future, so this trend must not last long! Come on, bring Chu to justice. The prince of the country has been taken down, and there will be criminals under his command!"

After hearing Zhao Dan's words, the prince of Chu State was not angry but happy, and immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to accept the crime!"

For those who hadn't seen Zhao Dan at all before, now that Zhao Dan has promised to discuss this matter at Zhao Guochaotang, it is already a very good result.

After Zhao Dan finished speaking, he said to Yu Xin: "Yu Xin, you and Mao Sui stay here to see who is cooperating with instigating the scholars, who should be punished, and who should be punished will be punished!"

Yu Xin and Mao Sui promised loudly.

Zhao Dan raised his head again, and said to the silent scholars: "I think we are the first offender, today we will only investigate the culprit, and the followers will not be held accountable, but if there is a next time, then all the rioters will be punished." He will be punished for attempting to rebel, and he will be killed without mercy!"

After issuing orders one after another, Zhao Dan returned to his seat.

"Get up and go back to the palace!"

Chapter 649 Involved in the war? (fourth more)

The next day, Zhao Dan held a meeting and began to seriously discuss the issue of Chu, whether to save or not.

The reason why this issue can be discussed now is of course based on the fact that Zhao State has won now, but the two countries of Han and Wei are still unable to extricate themselves from the quagmire of Chu State.

In fact, Zhao Dan originally hoped to discuss this matter when the battle situation became clearer, but due to the farce that happened outside the Huaxia Academy, this time the discussion was forced to move forward some time.

Judging from the situation controlled by the State of Zhao, large tracts of land such as Chencheng and Shouchun in the State of Chu have been occupied, and the temporary capital Xicheng has also been surrounded. It can be said that the situation is precarious.

But since the Chu people have no way to retreat, at least until now, the Chu army is still desperately resisting the attack of the Han-Wei coalition forces.

Limited to the strength of the Han-Wei coalition forces, this battle was actually not very one-sided, even after the Chu army failed in the decisive battle and retreated into Xicheng.

The real reason why the entire battle situation suddenly and rapidly tilted towards the side of the Han-Wei coalition forces was that the fall of Shouchun cut off the entire southeastern counties of Chu State from the temporary capital Xicheng.

Zhao Guodaxing Zheng Zhu coughed, and said to everyone present: "Since the war started, Chu State has sent many envoys to Han Wei, Qin State and our country, and their ultimate goal is to hope War can be avoided, but judging from the current situation, it is clear that this goal has not been achieved."

When Zhao Dan heard this, a sneer crossed his mouth. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Chu Wangyuan's hasty move to betray the alliance, in fact, Zhao Dan probably would not have launched the last war against Chu, so he would not have instigated this time. The war against Chu by the Wei allied forces.

From a geographical point of view, although Zhao State is the place of the Four Wars, there is also the possibility of distant relations and short-term attacks. The only country that may have "distant relations" with Zhao State is Chu State. This possibility came to naught.

This can only be said to be self-inflicted.

Zhao Dan said slowly: "Misters, everyone must have a good understanding of the situation in Chu. According to the analysis made by Wu Xinjun, Pang Qing and the staff these days, if the widow and Zhao really ignore it, Chu It is possible that the country will be destroyed by the coalition forces of Han and Wei. The reason why I summoned the ministers today is to discuss whether it is necessary to help the country of Chu."

Whether to help Chu State is of course based on the perspective of Zhao State's interests.

Lian Po coughed and took the lead to say: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the State of Wei has occupied most of Jiujiang County and is marching towards Kuaiji County. There is still a part of Huaibei that has not yet been occupied by the people of Wei. Your Majesty might as well send troops to occupy this place, so that the territory can be expanded without any effort."

Lian Po's plan is a plan to take advantage of the fire.

Zhao Dan thought about it and felt that this plan could actually be considered.

"Jianghuai is familiar and the world is full," this is a very famous saying.

As a part of the Jianghuai land, Huaibei land is not developed enough in this era, but it only takes a certain amount of time to become another granary of Zhao State.

As soon as this plan was put forward, it was immediately opposed by Zhao Sheng: "It's not right. Your Majesty just agreed to the prince of Chu State to consider saving Chu State, and now he will send troops to Chu State immediately, which will make your Majesty contradict his promise in the eyes of the people in the world." suspected."

Lian Po snorted softly, apparently a little dissatisfied, and said to Zhao Sheng: "In this case, please tell me, Mr. Pingyuan, what should we do about the Chu State?"
