Looking at the expressions of the people in the hall, Zhao Yu sighed inwardly, shook his head at Zhao Yun and another minister, and agreed to this fact. At this time, the royal city and Handan were all under the control of each other. If a head-on fight would only be detrimental to them, it would be better to preserve their strength and wait for Li Mu and his son to return.

Seeing everyone agreeing, Zhao Mu bowed and said, "In this way, we will go together to summon the ministers and ask Prince Yan to ascend the throne."

When the noble ministers in Pingyang Jun’s mansion learned that Zhao Wangdan had passed away, many people cried bitterly. Although Zhao Wangdan was not an excellent king to Zhao State, he was extremely generous to his ministers, and there were no few who were grateful and loyal in the court. Although some people expressed doubts about the prequel and preaching Zhao Wangdan was located in Gongzi Yan, several important officials did not speak up, so they naturally would not make a fuss.

Zhao Mu was very satisfied with everyone's apology. He wanted to establish his authority with some people, but it was useless. But well, Zhao Mu did not want to make enemies with these noble ministers. After all, the relationship between these powerful people was complicated and it was a big deal. Before he could completely control the Zhao government affairs, he could not cause trouble.

In order to establish the orthodox status of Gongzi Yan as soon as possible, Zhao Mu did not delay and decided to hold the throne three days later on the grounds of the survival of Zhao State.

"Master."

"Sir, what's the situation now?"

"Three days ago, Gongzi Yan had ascended the throne, and the martial law in Handan City was still there."

"Will the ancient kings praise the rituals tomorrow?"

"yes."

"I wonder what plans do you have with sir?"

"Master, let's wait..."

Hurry up and hurry up. When Li Yu, who was whipping up his horse, returned to Wucheng, one of the Marquis of Handan, it had been three days since Prince Yan ascended the throne, and tomorrow was the burial period of King Dan of Zhao.

Li Yu was also a little sad and a little guilty about Zhao Wangdan, who was grateful for his gratitude. With his spies in the palace, Zhao Mu had noticed his actions over the years, but Li Yu did not expose it with the advice of several gentlemen, and he was still very guilty about it. However, Li Yu also knew that even if he exposes the conspiracy of Zhao Mu and others, there was no evidence. Zhao Wangdan might not believe him, and it would even affect his development in Hanoi County, which would not be worth the loss.

Li Yu would not have thought that Zhao Mu would take the big flaw in the world and kill the lord with his own hands, which caught him off guard. Fortunately, under the timely concession of Queen Jing and Gong Guang's desperate guards, Queen Jing and Prince Qi and his son did not suffer much harm. Now they are just imprisoned in the royal city. There are more than a thousand black-clothed palace guards around him. Before the former king praised the rituals, Zhao Mu should not force his actions to avoid arousing suspicion.

It can be said that Zhao Wangdan was poisoned, and Li Yu was also one of the driving forces. Without the righteousness of King Zhao, Li Yu, who indirectly controlled 70% of the troops in Zhao State, was definitely capable of replacing the king. The king was born in the barrel of a gun, and it was like this in ancient and modern times.

With memories from later generations, Li Yu did not value loyalty and patriotism so much. He did not want his father to be so stupid and loyal. By the way, Li Mu's personality at this time was different from what was recorded in history books. When he heard the news of Zhao Wangdan's death, he was alone in the room for one day, and he managed the army as usual, which relieved Li Yu a lot.

But there is not much time left for Li Yu. After Zhao Wangdan's praise, Zhao Mu, who had freed up his hand, would never allow Prince Qi to exist.

"Okay, call the captains to discuss."

After listening to Yu Qing's plan, Li Yu thought for a moment and agreed.

When he knew Zhao Mu's plan, Yu Qing and others secretly led 20,000 new Hanoi army to Wucheng. The original Wu'an and Wucheng generals were directly killed by Yu Qing's general order from General Lian Po. In addition to the 40,000 soldiers transferred from Shangdang to the two cities, Yu Qing quickly took over the control of the defenders of the two cities. At this time, Zhao Mu, who was already the prime minister, focused all his attention in Handan City. He didn't know that Wu'an and the defenders of the two cities had changed hands.

According to the plan agreed by Yu Qing and others, it was to take advantage of the time when the former king praised the etiquette and the ministers left the city to see each other off, and then vigorously purge the noble ministers who turned to Zhao Mu, and welcome the crown prince Qi to the throne. Even Yu Qing and others had already planned the way for Li Yu to come to the future. The ministers were naturally to reduce obstacles to Li Yu's path to prime minister. The 20,000 new troops transferred from Hanoi County were for this moment.

"Everyone, when I went to the north of the desert, I heard that the king was killed by a traitor, and the queen and the prince were imprisoned in the palace, so I rushed back overnight to purify the government and prevent the country from falling out of the Great Zhao country. Now that the city of Handan is controlled by a traitor, you and others told me whether I would like to follow me to create the Great Zhao era."

After more than a dozen commanders gathered, Li Yu said his thoughts directly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice. He had just returned from Mobei, and Li Yu's hands were stained with blood from the Hu people. The murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated, and the pressure on people became even greater.

"We are only ordered by the general."

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, more than a dozen commanders including Yuan Wu'an and Wucheng defenders all bowed their heads and followed him.

After going deep into the northern part of the Mo River and forcing dozens of tribes to surrender, Li Yu's achievements were enough to make all the soldiers of Zhao look up to him. As soldiers who worshiped the strong, they had an extremely strong sense of identity with Li Yu, so Yu Qing took over the title of Li Yu and took over the 80,000 defenders in Wu'an and Wucheng so easily. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so easy with the order of the prime minister Lian Po.

"Okay, I am worthy of being my eldest Zhao man. You will know later on that what you are going to do will be remembered by future generations, because you will be the hero who saved my eldest Zhao Guozuo."

After encouraging his morale, Li Yu began to order that 60,000 defenders would continue to defend Wu'an and Wucheng. After all, although the countries were acting like a show, it was difficult to ensure that they would not be serious. In addition, Li Yu drew 20,000 defenders to cooperate with the 20,000 new troops in Hanoi, and when the previous kings were buried tomorrow, they would surround the ministers and Handan City respectively.

For specific details, Li Yu was announced by Yu Qing and he went to rest by himself.

On January 1st of the 15th year of King Dan of Zhao, the city of Handan was covered with mourning. Ministers of civil and military escorted the coffin of the former king to the cemetery. Five thousand black clothes and five thousand city guards were accompanied by guards. When the ministers of civil and military quitted, the four gates of Handan City were closed. Zhao Mu, who learned that Li Mu and his son were stationed in Dai City, was still very careful. After all, the aristocratic guards in Handan City were also an unstable factor.

"It's almost done."

After receiving the news that the noble ministers arrived at the royal cemetery, Li Yu led a thousand Hu Ben and five thousand temporary cavalrymen under his command to run towards Handan.

"Who is coming?" Seeing a large group of cavalry rushing towards him, the city guards at the south gate of Handan held the bowstrings in their hands tightly, and the sergeant guarding the city asked loudly.

"I general Li Yu, open the city gate quickly." Without any concealment, Li Yu directly reported his name. If the surrenderer was not sincere, he would have a backup plan.

"General Li? General Li is waiting for me to report to General Le Cheng." The soldiers guarding the city were the guards of Zhao Mu's mansion. When they heard that the person who came was Li Yu, they were shocked. They wanted to report to Zhao Mu, but they thought that Zhao Mu, who was the prime minister, had led the civil and military ministers to send the previous king, so they went to report to General Le Cheng, who was commanding the palace guards and the city guards.

"Oh, Li Yu is back, I will go and watch." Hearing the report of the soldiers guarding the city, a gleam flashed in Le Cheng's eyes and he led his personal guard to the Nancheng Tower.

Soothing the shadow under his crotch, Li Yu waited for a moment and saw a man wearing a general's helmet on his head looking down from the battlement of the city tower, and then asked with a smile: "The one above is General Le Cheng."

"It's General Li Yu, someone is here, open the city gate." After looking at the cavalry below, Le Cheng immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

"General, the Prime Minister has given him the order. Without his orders, you must not..."

The soldiers guarding the city said in surprise when they heard Le Cheng's order. Only halfway through his words, a cold light flashed in front of them. Then they found that their vision was slowly falling, and a severe pain came, and they soon fell into darkness.

He personally dealt with the city guarding soldier. Le Cheng held the blood-dropping copper sword and said sternly: "Jun Jianxin Zhao Mu planned to rebel and poison the previous king. I was ordered by the general to kill the rebels. People come and open the city gate for me."

As soon as Le Cheng finished speaking, hundreds of personal guards who followed him quickly dealt with the somewhat confused soldiers guarding the city. These were Zhao Mu's subordinates, so naturally they could not let them go.

Seeing the city gate slowly opening and the general who was waiting for it, Li Yu raised his mouth slightly and waved his right hand, and the five thousand cavalry behind him rushed into the city.

According to the pre-set plan, the soldiers who entered the city immediately rescued the former city guard officers in the prison of the City Guard Mansion, and then quickly took over the entire city guard, and all those who resisted were killed.

"General Le Cheng, don't know what the situation in the palace is?" Li Yu, who was riding on the horse, asked Le Cheng beside him.

"The queen and the prince were tied to the fourth-level palace platform, with more than a thousand black-clothed guards outside, and everything was fine." When Le Cheng heard Li Yu's culture, he clasped his fists and replied, and he seemed extremely respectful. Le Cheng knew that after today, this young general who had just become the most powerful person in Zhao State, and his ambitions must be realized with the support of the other party.

"Okay, when I will clear the rebels, I will not disappoint General Le Cheng."

Li Yu still had a good impression of this Le Cheng who surrendered in time. If it weren't for his secret help, Queen Jing and others would not have escaped Zhao Mu's fierce hand so smoothly, and those generals and schools who were close to him would not have survived. Moreover, Le Cheng's ability to lead troops is not bad, and it is also a rare talent for Zhao State, who is in urgent need of talent.

"Thank you, General." After receiving Li Yu's personal promise, Le Cheng relieved his heart and clasped his hands tightly. He believed that his choice would not be wrong. The Jianxin Jun was just a greedy and powerful man and was not worthy of his followers.

After entering the royal city, Li Yu took people to the fourth floor palace platform and met Queen Jing and Prince Qi who had been imprisoned for many days, as well as the loyal and commendable Prince Fu Xuncun.
