A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Due to Hu Zhuo's unauthorized actions, the Zhao army was defeated. After Li Mu repelled Li Xin's troops, he immediately rushed back to Pingyang for rescue. However, Hu Zhuo's 100,000 troops were beheaded, and he had less than 20,000 troops left. If he wanted to fight against the Qin army The counterattack was just an egg against a stone. In order to protect other cities from being captured, Li Mu had no choice but to join up with other teams and make the next plan.

This march of the Qin army seems to be just to explore the remaining strength of the Zhao state. After capturing Pingyang and Wucheng, all troops were withdrawn. The Qin army won a complete victory this time, but it was a pity that the hundreds of thousands of Zhao's innocent souls had nowhere to complain.

For a time, the Zhao State was shrouded in the shadow of defeat. From the monarch to the people, they all found that they could no longer rely on Li Mu to protect them. Now that even Li Mu had been defeated, the Zhao State would be conquered by Qin sooner or later. Swallow it!

Li Mu was defeated and returned to the court. Before anyone could return their orders to the monarch, the ministers headed by Guo Kai had already gathered in the main hall and began to impeach Li Mu.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu made a mistake in leading the troops this time, which caused Zhao to lose one hundred thousand troops! How can we be lenient for such a serious mistake?"

Guo Kai cried bitterly, as if he was complaining about the injustice of a hundred thousand wronged souls, and seemed to be worried about the future of Zhao State, but only he knew that the purpose of his acting like this was just to make Li Mu die!

"Wei Chen thought that Li Mu had rich experience in leading troops and had fought against Qin several times, so he would definitely not misjudge. But he didn't expect... our Zhao country is now in danger, and he killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, which is even more... It will make Zhao Guo even worse!"

"Since the Battle of Changping, our Zhao State has been short of troops. It is not easy to recruit these 300,000 soldiers this time. He, Li Mu, made such a serious mistake. If the king does not punish him, how will he explain to the people? !”

"Not only that, Li Mu also caused the Zhao State to lose a general. Hu Zhuo's death caused the Zhao State to suffer even more heavy losses!"

The courtiers from all walks of life said something to each other, and they were very happy! Zhao Yan, who was sitting on the throne, could not interrupt at all.

"My dear friends, this... this..."

He hesitated, with a troubled expression on his face

"How do you want Gu to punish Li Mu?"

"Of course he will be thrown into jail! He will be dealt with according to the laws of the country!"

"His military power should be taken away and he should be sent to the border so that he can never return to Handan!"

Everyone started discussing Li Mu's punishment again.

"He should be taken to the market entrance and executed in public! He put the Zhao country in danger. How can we spare his life for such a big mistake!"

A hoarse voice stood out among the noisy denunciations. Everyone was stunned and turned to look at an old minister.

This old minister was in his sixties, with only a skeleton left. His head was full of white hair, and his eyes could hardly be opened. When he saw him leaning on a cane, he said tremblingly.

"Such a serious mistake deserves death!"

She looks kind and kind, but she says the most vicious words!

"This... Mr. Zhao, it's not like he's going to be sentenced to death."

Zhao Yan saw that the old man was excited and quickly comforted him

"Your Majesty, Li Mu has put our Zhao country in deep danger! If he accidentally allowed the Qin army to break into the city, wouldn't he have lost the entire Zhao country?! How can such a serious mistake be punished lightly?!"

Li Xi, who was standing not far away, listened to the impeachment remarks made by the snake and rat den.

If these people are not eliminated, Li Mu may never be safe.

Li Xi stood looking at Zhao Yan from a distance and smiled softly at him, seeming to signal him to get rid of these ministers and come to accompany him. Looking at Li Xi's tender eyes, how could Zhao Yan still have the time to deal with state affairs?

"Okay, okay, ministers, please step aside and wait for me to think about it before making a decision."

"But... Your Majesty, Li Mu is about to return to the court! If..."

Guo Kai saw that Zhao Yan was in a hurry to leave and quickly stopped him.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

He tried to persuade him to stay, but Zhao Yan had no intention of listening to this, he had already run away.

The joy of fish and water can only relieve temporary worries. Zhao Yan, who woke up from the gentle land, also knew that he had to give an explanation to everyone.

"Li Mu has to be punished this time."

He played with Li Xi's long hair, and his light words made Li Xi nervous.

"Your Majesty also knows, right? It was Hu Zou who did not obey orders and acted without authorization, which led to this defeat! Why should we blame Li Mu?"

"Those veterans said that although they often disobeyed military orders, in the final analysis it was Li Mu's lax military management that led to the current consequences. The Zhao State was already suffering from enemies from both sides, and now it has lost another hundred thousand troops. It is really difficult to predict the country's safety in the future. This time... ...Hu Youyou lost his life and was punished, but Li Mu... Gu had to make a decision and blocked Youyou's mouth!"

"Can't I intercede for Li Mu?"

Li Xi looked at Zhao Yan, who had been talking sweetly to him just now, but now he had turned his back and refused to recognize anyone.

"It's really bad. Don't worry, I won't kill Li Mu. After all, Zhao State still relies on him to defend against invasions from other countries. I... I will give him a light sentence at my discretion. How about that?"

how? How dare you ask me?

Li Xi finally understood that although Zhao Yan loved him, he only did it for the sake of his skin! If it involves national interests, how can he listen to his own words? Now that the courtiers are all against Li Mu, in order to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers, he has to punish Li Mu accordingly!

Since the monarch refuses to listen to him and insists on punishing Li Mu, how can he let go of those who impeach Li Mu? !

Looking at Zhao Yan who closed his eyes and said nothing, Li Xi's disgust reached the extreme.

The Qin State's attack was fierce, and the Zhao State's originally peaceful court was even more bloody.

Master Zhao, who impeached Li Mu, was killed in the mansion after Li Xi bribed his bodyguards, and the entire family died tragically!

Subsequently, those ministers who insisted on punishing Li Mu were retaliated one after another. Either their wives died unexpectedly, or their children died unexpectedly! Not one escaped!

Li Xi knew that he could not make Zhao Yan change his mind, so he could only erase these ministers who had different intentions with him. Zhao State lost a group of old ministers and reached a deadlock. The Zhao State was about to fall apart before his eyes, from the inside out. Corruption is irreversible!

When Li Mu returned to the court, Zhao Yan, in order to appease the people, ignored Li Xi's cry and begged for mercy, and still put Li Mu in jail after eighty battles!

At this point, the thorn in Guo Kai's side seems to have been removed, but the lingering Li Mu still has a chance to walk out of the prison alive. In order to get rid of it once and for all, Guo Kai also takes action!

Naturally, Li Xi couldn't sit still and wait for death. He thought that relying on the king's grace could keep his brother safe for life. It seemed that he overestimated Zhao Yan's favor! If he doesn't save himself from the current situation, Li Mu may be harmed!

In order to deal with Guo Kai as soon as possible, Li Xi and the heroes outside the palace who had encountered Li Mu'ende started an assassination plan!
