Chapter 190 King Zhao (asking for monthly ticket)
Ever since the Queen Mother left Yongcheng, the entire Liyang Palace has lost its former bustle.
You spent the whole day cleaning the palaces with people and arranging the daily expenses of Canglang Pavilion. The days passed one by one.
Zhang Liang's sudden visit broke the tranquility here.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" You put down the needle and thread in her hand and said softly.
Zhang Liang bowed and handed over the prepared letter. "Miss You, please help me deliver this letter to the Queen Mother. I have something urgent to report."
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the letter right away."
You didn't ask the reason.
When the letter arrived in Xianyang, Zhao Yuanxi had already followed Ying Zheng to Zhao State, and it was Fusu who received the letter.
"My eldest mother and father have gone to Handan. It will take at least half a month for them to return. Go back and tell the teacher to wait for a few days. When my eldest mother and father return, I will tell them about this matter."
"promise!"
"How is your health lately, teacher?" Fusu asked the guard who delivered the letter.
"Mr. Han has been suffering from a cold for some time.
Han Fei had always been in poor health, and Fusu knew it. When he heard that Han Fei was sick again, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Fusu tried to calm himself down and wondered what decision his grandmother would make if she were here.
He clenched his fists and made a decision, "Forget it, you should send the teacher to Xianyang first. If Mr. Zhang is willing to come, bring him here as well and arrange for them to stay in my palace."
The medical skills of the Imperial Medical Bureau in Xianyang are better than those in Yongcheng. Doctor Yu, who often treats Han Fei, is also here. It is better than staying in Yongcheng.
"Teacher Han is coming, and Mr. Chunyu will be unhappy every day again." Ziying grinned with schadenfreude.
Without the Legalists around to bother him, Mr. Chunyu could now eat two more bowls of rice. He criticized the Legalists' views without any scruples. He was a little annoyed by the fact that they kept talking about Zhouli all day long.
What the Great Mother said is indeed correct. No single ideology can dominate. They should check and balance each other, complement each other, and learn from each other's strengths and overcome each other's weaknesses in order to obtain the truth.
Fusu was helpless, "Don't make fun of the teacher."
Ziying secretly used his foot to push the ball to his feet, raised his foot and kicked it directly into the hole in the distance. "I'm telling the truth. Mr. Chunyu can't argue with Mr. Han. Every time after arguing with Mr. Han, he always comes back with a sullen face. It's clearly Mr. Han who's not speaking clearly."
“I won!”
Ziying clapped and cheered.
Then he began to feel melancholy again, "Grandmother has been out for several days, and I don't know when she will be back! Big brother, I miss her."
The same was true for Fusu. Without his grandmother, Ganquan Palace became just their place of residence. It seemed no different from any other place, even worse than the Liyang Palace in Yongcheng.
It's just that he had learned to hide his emotions a long time ago.
"Grandmother has never broken her promise to us. Besides, her letter will be delivered in a few days." Fusu picked up the ball and kicked it towards the opposite goal.
It hit the mark perfectly.
Fusu smiled and said, "I won too, so it's a tie now!"
"Ahhhhhh! You're cheating! The game hasn't even been shouted 'start' yet!" Ziying hurried to chase the ball.
The two began to fight again.
When the Qin flag was hung on the city wall of Handan City, it meant the end of Zhao State. King Qian of Zhao surrendered, and Prince Jia fled. The city inside and outside was now controlled by the Qin army.
King Qian of Zhao was carried out of the palace and suddenly exposed to the sunlight. He raised his hands to block the glaring sunlight.
It had been a long time since he had seen the sun like this since he had fallen seriously and was paralyzed.
When Handan City fell, the palace maids and eunuchs fled in all directions, completely ignoring King Zhao, and even robbed the treasures in the palace in front of him.
For a whole day, no one served him, which not only made him extremely hungry and thirsty, but also made his lower body extremely uncomfortable.
His legs were not conducive to walking, making it impossible for him to even maintain the dignity of a king.
Even the Qin people discovered his appearance.
Zhao Qian's eyes were filled with tears, and he said to Wang Jian, "Just kill me!"
"The king will decide how to deal with you. Take him away and lock him up."
In this battle, Qin destroyed 30,000 Zhao troops and captured 200,000 Zhao troops. Qin conquered Zhao with almost no effort.
The reason why they could easily win was due to the strength of the Qin army, but the fundamental reason was the internal collapse of Zhao.
After Li Mu left Zhao State, the Zhao army was in panic. Although the commander Zhao Cong used violence to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, he could not withstand the next move by King Qian of Zhao.
After Zhao Wangqian's legs became disabled, he became more and more suspicious. He killed at least ten people every day. Among these people were palace maids, court officials, and soldiers. Without any reason, anyone who made him suspicious would face his butcher knife.
"General Wang, please wait a moment." Li Mu walked over, looked at King Zhao lying on the ground, and looked away with disgust and disappointment.
Zhao Qian felt stung by his gaze, his fingers clenched on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, "Are you here to humiliate me?"
Li Mu bowed his head and clasped his fists towards Wang Jian. "Although the King of Zhao is unkind, I am still his subject. I beg the General to allow me to see him off."
Wang Jian knew Li Mu well, if not completely. Asking him to humiliate King Zhao now might be even more difficult than asking him to commit suicide. Since he took the initiative to propose it, it seemed that he didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Smelling the faint peculiar smell coming from King Zhao, he seemed to understand something and patted Li Mu on the shoulder. "What's the big deal? I'll leave him to you. Just make sure he doesn't die."
Wang Jian deliberately added this sentence, and seeing that King Zhao's face turned pale with fear, he couldn't help laughing.
Li Mu smiled, thanked Wang Jian, took off his robe, and approached King Zhao step by step. Finally, in front of King Zhao's horrified and stunned eyes, he covered his body and said, "Carry him away."
Zhao Qian's face turned pale and then black, and in the end, only endless regret remained.
After taking off his dirty clothes, taking a shower, and changing into clean and soft clothes, Zhao Qian finally calmed down and curled up.
The door was pushed open, and Li Mu walked in with a tray in his hands. The smell of food made Zhao Qian look up. His face was twisted, and he said angrily, "Do you think I will be grateful to you for this? You are just a traitor. If you hadn't surrendered to Qin, how could our Zhao State be in this state? How could it be like this!"
Zhao Qian started to cry as he spoke, muttering, "I am not wrong, how could I be wrong!"
Li Mu finally spoke, "I didn't do this for you, nor do I want your gratitude. Your humiliation means the humiliation of Zhao. Zhao shouldn't become a laughing stock because of you."
As the king of a country, after the city was broken, not only was there no one to help him escape, but even the defeated soldiers and generals were only concerned with looting the palace, ignoring the king and leaving him lying in filth to be humiliated by the Qin army.
