Chapter 205: The Wrath of the Father (5)

"Stop, who is the person?"

Seeing a horse walking towards the palace gate from afar, the guards on the gate were already alert, and quickly set off their bows and arrows, pointing directly to the visitor. The movement here alarmed the Zhao soldiers around the city tower and surrounded them one after another.

Zhao Yongle rein stopped the horse, raised his head and shouted loudly, "Why, don't you recognize me anymore?"

The Imperial Guard was a unit led by Zhao Yong. Many old soldiers in the army had followed him to fight on the battlefield, so how could they not recognize him? So when Zhao Yong raised his head and spoke, the city tower was already in an uproar. The soldiers bowed and greeted each other, and Zhao Yong also nodded with a smile.

At this time, a man who was a mature and polite officer walked forward, poked his head out of the wall and bowed his head and said, "I am not aware of the Lord's Father."

Zhao Yong raised his head and narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully, suddenly said, "Wang Ling, you have become Qu Hou, why have you never heard of it?"

The general who called "Wangling" by the Lord's Father was surprised and happy and said, "Master Father, do you still remember the humble position?"

Zhao Yong laughed and said, "Why don't you remember, you were under Niu Xiao Zi's hands, right?"

Wang Ling said with tears in his eyes, "That's right, I didn't expect that the Lord's father would care so much about his subordinates, and he still remembered his humble position."

Zhao Yong smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I am going to go into the palace to see my son now, so open the palace gate quickly."

Wang Ling was stunned for a moment and said with a thorn in the air, "Master, the rules in the palace cannot be opened casually after closing the palace gate. It must be approved by the Duwei. Xin Duwei was watching in the palace. Can you please ask him for advice first..."

The palace sect system was originally formulated during Zhao Yong's term of office, and he was not able to refute it, so he nodded generously. Wang Ling went back to pay back and quickly brought the letter back.

When Xinqi saw that it was the Lord’s Father at the city gate, he was shocked and bowed and bowed to salute, "I will meet the Lord’s Father at the end."

A thought flashed through my mind, shouldn't the Lord Father be in the dynasty? Why did he suddenly appear outside the palace gate at this time? Do you have any plans? After looking around carefully, I saw that although the Lord Father was just a man and a horse, the dark shadows in the night could not see clearly whether there were large troops ambushing, and I couldn't help but worry.

Seeing that Xinqi was polite to him again, Zhao Yong looked around, and looked very rude, and couldn't help but sneer, "Since I know it's me, why haven't I opened the palace gate yet? Could it be that I am not qualified to enter the palace?"

Xinqi bowed his hand and said, "The Lord's father entered the palace and wanted to see the king."

Zhao Yong's eyes turned cold and he said, "Why do I want to explain to you? Will you still have to approve who I enter the palace to meet?"

Xinqi was quite hesitant at this time. He was originally from a Hu man, but because of his honest temperament, he offended Shangguan and was suppressed. He had been in the army for more than 20 years but had no chance to make a comeback. Fortunately, Fei Yi was able to rise to the top and sit in the position of commander of the Imperial Guard. The so-called death of a scholar as a confidant, Fei Yi was tantamount to rebirth of his parents for Xinqi. It was precisely because of his loyalty that Fei Yi mentioned him to the position of commander of the Imperial Guard.

What Fei Yi told him at the beginning was that no matter what the situation was, he must protect the safety of King Zhao. In the Xinqi of Shenxiao's struggle in the palace, he naturally knew that the master father in front of him was the biggest threat to King Zhao's throne.

Especially when he entered the palace late at night, this inevitably made him imagine endlessly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xinqi chose to stick to the principle and said, "Master, the king has fallen asleep at this time. Why don't you go back to the palace first and see the king again after dawn."

Zhao Yong sneered, "Xinqi, you seem to have forgotten your identity. I am the father of Zhao State, and I can see my son anytime."

"You dare to stop me, so brave."

At this time, it was already in a difficult situation, so Xinqi had to bite the bullet and said, "My father, please forgive me, and the last general is also responsible. According to the palace rules, after nightfall, except for the king's talisman, can anyone enter and exit the palace gate?"

"I am the Lord Father."

"The master's father is not King Zhao."

Zhao Yong laughed instead, "Okay, you're a letter, why didn't I find out that you were so kind before? It's really a mistake in employing people."

At this time, the guards who were patrolling the night had already heard the movement and surrounded them, with a total of a thousand people, many of them were old soldiers who had followed Zhao Yong for many years, and the head of the King of Quhou was the tomb. When he saw Xinqi rejecting the master's father, he shouted angrily, "Master, the master's father is the lord of Zhao State, why did you refuse him?"

"Shut up."

Xinqi said with a sarcastic look, "I am the commander of the imperial guards. Although the master's father is the father of King Zhao, he is not the King of Zhao. No one except the king cannot mobilize the imperial guards."

Xinqi's words caused an uproar on the court. Many old soldiers shouted that in order to come up, the Lord's father was the lord of Zhao State, and King Zhao was just a child on his throne.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xinqi quickly turned his eyes and surrounded his personal soldiers and separated himself from the riots.

The Lord's father looked at him coldly, suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Xinqi prevented me from entering the palace, and it was like a conspiracy. If someone comes, take him down."

The old guards in the city responded to the promise, Wang Ling took the lead, and the soldiers drew out their swords and surrounded them. Xinqi drew out their swords and shouted sternly, "The master's father intends to murder the king, and the army obeys my orders and kills the rebels."

Although Xinqi usually has a high prestige among the imperial guards, it is ultimately impossible to compare with the master's father. Under the command of the master's father, a large number of loyal men flocked to win over Xinqi to seek credit. Dozens of people climbed down the city tower and opened the palace gate to welcome the master's father.

Xinqi, who was originally in hand, turned against him under the orders of his master's father, but only dozens of personal soldiers followed him. Most of the other soldiers were hesitant and chose to wait and see, allowing hundreds of chaotic soldiers to siege Xinqi.

The palace gate was quickly opened. Zhao Yong walked up to the city tower surrounded by the soldiers of the imperial guards. At this time, the battle on the city tower had already come to an end. Most of the dozens of personal soldiers around Xinqi died under the siege of the imperial guards who had been rushing to the imperial guards several times. Only a few more powerful people surrounded Xinqi and resisted hard.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xinqi was unwilling to follow him for many years and died here, he had no choice but to give up his sword and sigh, "Forget it. Lord Father, you won."

After all, Zhao Yong was a man who admired the bloody nature and was not in a difficult situation at the moment. He just asked someone to tie him up and wait for his death. He also ordered his subordinates to stand by on the spot, and he himself rushed to the Zhao King's bedroom with big strides.

The commotion at the east gate had already alarmed the guards and palace servants guarding the palace. In a panic, he saw that the master's father came alone with a long sword in his hand, so he dared not resist. They all knelt down to pay their respects.

Zhao Yong was in a state of no one, rushed directly to Zhao He's bedroom, kicked open the palace door and walked in.

The lights had already been lit in the hall, and Zhao He was sitting on the seat with a pale face in his sleeping clothes, looking anxious.

Zhao He had just been woken up by someone. In a panic, he heard that his father was going to kill him and his hands were so scared that he was cold. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He first tried to escape in a panic, but when he heard the sound of killing outside the door, he felt very scared and then retreated to the room.

Zhao Yong kicked open the door, took a sword and stepped in. Seeing Zhao He in the hall, he stopped and looked at him coldly.

Seeing that Zhao He's father's face was tense, he no longer had the same kindness as before, but he just looked at him coldly, like a stranger.

Even though he was king for many years and had long been accustomed to being strong and independent, in front of his father, his softest fragility in his heart was still hard to hide. The fear in his heart was gradually replaced by grievances, his eyes turned red, he stood up and sniffed, and shouted "Father," with some sobs.

Zhao Yong was stunned. The hatred in his heart subsided most of the time with Zhao He's aggrieved "Father" and his expression gradually eased. He just frowned and shouted, "Look at your appearance, crying and crying, how can you be like King Zhao?"

Zhao He was red and swollen with his eyes, and kept his head down. After a while, he looked up at the sword in Zhao Yong's hand and choked and said, "Father, are you going to kill me?"

Zhao Yong snorted coldly, and then returned the sword to the sheath, saying, "You are my son, why should I kill you?"

"Will the Father want to destroy me?"

Zhao Yong glared at him and said, "You were originally established by me. I'm useless. Aren't you sucking your own mouth?"

"I'm just here to ask you, you will not ask for instructions or pass on me. Do you still have my father and my master's father in your eyes?"

When Zhao He saw that his father was not here to kill him or destroy him, he felt a little relieved. When he saw his father asking about this, he suddenly realized and understood why his father was so angry.

Zhao He lowered his head and said, "Father, you were far away from home at that time, and you asked for instructions for a long time. There may be changes. So his son made a fuss and listened to the opinions of his subordinates and sent Xiong Huai out of Zhao State."

Zhao Yong said coldly, "I'll ask you, Xiong Huai is the former lord of Chu and is resentful to Qin. If he is taken in, it is extremely beneficial to our Zhao State, why do you want to drive him out of Zhao?"

Zhao He defended himself, "But if Xiong Huai is taken in, Qin and Zhao will inevitably have a feud. The current King of Chu may not be grateful to me, Zhao State, which is very unfavorable to me, Zhao State."

"Stupid." Zhao Yong shouted.

"You, King Zhao, are really short-sighted, and only see a little benefit in front of you. Have you ever thought that Xiong Huai was detained in Qin State, and his son ascended the throne, just claimed to be his father for the time being. Xiong Huai was king for more than 30 years, with his party members and confidants all over the government and the country, and he was detained by Qin and refused to surrender to Qin State, the people were sympathetic and grateful to him. If he returned to Chu State, he would be able to regain control of the situation in Chu State. At that time, he would be grateful to us Zhao State, so he would naturally obey the rules and hate Qin State to the core. What would you do if Zhao State fought with Qin State?"

"This..." Zhao He was speechless, thought about it and said again; "But as the master said, Shangdang had weak troops and started a war with Qin and Zhao was unable to transfer its main force back. If the Qin army marched straight into Handan, our Zhao State would be in danger.
