Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Mr. Pingyuan, Mr. Wu Xin, you and others don't want to quarrel anymore. How about this, all the ministers express their attitudes to the widows."

All the ministers have obviously become accustomed to this for a long time, and expressed their attitudes one after another.

I hope that Lian Po will replace Li Mu, and those who oppose a partial division include Lian Po himself, Yu Xin, and Li Bo.

Those who opposed Lian Po's replacement of Li Mu and supported a partial division were Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin.

There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, and it is not beyond everyone's expectations at all.

Apart from Li Mu and Pang Nuan who were absent, Zheng Zhu and Li Si remained silent.

According to common sense, it should be Zheng Zhu who spoke first, but this time Li Si said first: "Your Majesty, I think the war is going well now, and it is indeed inappropriate to replace the front-line general without permission. Why don't we follow the suggestion of the Great Governor and send out a partial division to assist the attack?" For good."

When Li Si opened his mouth, a thought came to the minds of all the ministers: "It is said that when the governor was in Handan, he would often invite Li Si to have a banquet together. It seems that the relationship between the two is really extraordinary."

The number of votes became three to three, and everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Zhu, the last Minister of Zhao who did not express his opinion.

Zheng Zhu is a special person in Zhao Guozhong. Based on his background, he seems to be a natural supporter of the Gongzu faction. However, Zheng Zhu has always drifted between the two factions. When to support that side, it is unpredictable.

Zheng Zhu thought for a while, glanced at Zhao Dan, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, I thought that the governor had been fighting in the grasslands for many years, and most of his subordinates were cavalry. Now it's the first time to lead an infantry army to fight, and it's normal to feel uncomfortable. things."

When Zheng Zhu said this, Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin couldn't help but look a little ugly, while Lian Po and Yu Xin looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Does Zheng Zhu want to support the replacement of Li Mu?

I saw Zheng Zhu then said: "But the commander's ability of the commander-in-chief has been tested for so many years and has been recognized and praised by the world. Since this is the case, it is obviously wrong to rashly change the commander now that the governor has the advantage." It's quite inappropriate. Therefore, I feel that we should still support the proposal of the governor and attack Qi from two directions."

As soon as Zheng Zhu's words fell, there was silence in the hall.

Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin turned their worries into joy, while Lian Po and Yu Xin's expressions were solemn.

But they still have a last ray of hope, which is to see what Zhao Dan means.

As long as Zhao Dan opens his mouth, even if it is a completely unanimous opinion, it can be overturned.

There is no way, Zhao Dan's prestige is too high, and the monarchy is too strong, as long as he speaks, no matter how dissatisfied and opposed by the ministers, they can only hold their noses and agree.

But the scene that Lian Po and Yu Xin expected did not happen.

Zhao Dan looked around at all the officials present, and then opened his mouth to make a final decision.

"Since this is the case, according to the request of Governor Li Mu, Juqing will lead the [-] central army to go south, and then recruit the county soldiers from the counties of Huaibei, Wei, and Lu to form an army of [-] troops, and launch an attack on Qiguo from the south. !"

Chapter 9 Li Yuan enters the palace (first update)

Yingdu, the royal palace of Chu.

Li Yuan walked quickly into the palace, and all the palace people along the way greeted the Kuaiji Lord one after another.

According to the rules of etiquette, Li Yuan, who has not been ordered by the king, should not be walking in the palace so swaggeringly, but considering the fact that Li Yuan's younger sister is the Queen Mother Li, the rules in the palace can basically not restrict Li Yuan. up.

Li Yuan strode into a palace, just in time to see the Empress Dowager Li who was teaching the prince how to fight.

Li Yuan bowed and saluted: "My subject, Li Yuan, has seen the queen mother and the prince."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Li Yuan, then said with a fierce smile to the Prince: "Haner, go to the Empress Dowager Jing to say hello."

Prince Han hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mother, I don't really want to go there, Empress Dowager Jing seems to have some opinions on my son."

Li Yuan couldn't help but twitch slightly when he heard this sentence.

As we all know, the former queen of Chu Wangyuan, who is now the Queen Mother Jing, did not give birth to a son for Chu Wangyuan, so the position of prince fell to the head of Xiong Han, who was born by the Queen Mother Li of the Li family.

When Chu Wangyuan was alive, in order to alleviate such an embarrassing situation, Chu Wangyuan always asked Mrs. Jing to be responsible for teaching Prince Han later, hoping to use this method to make Zhao Jing Qu San, represented by the Prince and Queen Mother Jing Great family knot.

After all, these three major families have existed since the founding of Chu State. Except for the slightly weaker Qu family, Ling Yin and Shangzhu State, the two most important positions in Chu State, have been held in most of the time. In the hands of the Zhao family and the Jing family, this made the power of the three major families intertwined and spread throughout the entire Chu country.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of the three major families, any monarch of the Chu Kingdom would not be able to secure his seat.

But obviously, judging from the prince's words, Chu Wangyuan's painstaking efforts failed.

Being able to make the prince who has always respected his elders say such words is enough to prove that the relationship between Queen Mother Jing and the prince is not as good as Chu Wangyuan hoped, and the relationship between the two may even be very stiff.

Empress Dowager Li's complexion changed, but she smiled again, and said: "Empress Dowager Jing is your elder, so you should behave like a junior. Talking about elders is not what you should do. Go ahead."

After the crown prince left, Empress Dowager Li stepped back and said softly, "I don't know why my brother came here this time?"

Both of their parents died since they were young, and they supported each other to grow up, and the relationship between brother and sister is very good.

In Queen Mother Li's heart, Li Yuan, the eldest brother, was basically equivalent to her own father.

Li Yuan looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, I recently received news that they may be going to attack you."

Following the sudden death of King Yuan of Chu, Li Yuan, under the guidance of Mao Sui, took advantage of the fact that Jingyang, the leader of the generation of the three major families, was still serving as the deputy general of Huang Xie to lead the army, and relied on Huang Xie's life as a bargaining chip to succeed. Others from the three major families were persuaded to finalize the situation where the two empress dowagers co-regent.

Li Yuan also took advantage of this to soar into the sky and became the number two figure in Chu State.

But everyone knew that this was only temporary, the three major families would not tolerate Li Yuan becoming another Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, and it was impossible for Li Yuan to sit still.

So even if Mao Sui doesn't show up, it's only a matter of time before Li Yuan and the three major families go to war.

Of course, Li Yuan can also choose to integrate into the three major families. For example, Jingyang wanted to marry his sister to Li Yuan a while ago.

However, this choice was not accepted by Li Yuan.

From Li Yuan's point of view, his younger sister is the queen mother, and the son born to his younger sister is the future king of Chu. With such a background, Li Yuan's position in the political arena of Chu State in the future will even be higher than that of Huang Xie back then. stable.

Prince Han is already this year, and it only takes another two years to perform the coronation ceremony, and then take over the power of governing the country from the hands of the two empress dowagers, becoming a real monarch.

All Li Yuan needs to do is to survive these two years.

But at that time, Li Yuan obviously underestimated the strength of the three major families.

Only a few days after Huang Xie's death, the power Li Yuan inherited from Huang Xie was hit mercilessly by the three major families like a thunderbolt.

To make matters worse, since Jingyang released rumors that Li Yuan had killed Huang Xie, many of Huang Xie's former troops were unwilling to join Li Yuan even if they escaped the previous wave of purges.

As a result, Li Yuan's current situation can be said to be even worse, and he has almost no counterattack power in front of the attacks of the three major families.

That's why Li Yuan entered the palace to seek an audience this time.

After listening to Li Yuan's statement, Queen Mother Li raised a pair of slender eyebrows slightly: "These three families are really lawless!"

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "Who says it's not, Queen Mother, if the minister falls down, then the next targets they want to attack will probably be the Queen Mother and the prince!"

"What?" Empress Dowager Li was startled, and even her voice began to tremble a little: "What do you mean by brother?"

Li Yuan snorted, and said in a very low voice: "Queen Mother, I heard that the three major families are secretly selecting the brothers of the former king recently, intending to find a helpless person from among them, and then use it to replace the prince! "
