Comparing the two, the date of arrival in Luoyang by the Blue Crows was one day earlier than the expedited messenger sent by Chengling King Zhao Shen and others.

At that time, Luoyang had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and it seemed that Lord Chu Shui was more eager to attack Wei State than expected.

And at that time, the Luoyang court began to argue endlessly about "whether to rescue Daliang or not". They debated for eight or nine days in a row. Not only did the debate not come to a result, but the situation on the front line became increasingly dangerous-in this

Within eight or nine days, the allied forces of various countries led by Lord Chu Shui of Chu State invaded Yingshui County of Wei State in several groups. In just a few days, they captured half of Yingshui County, except for Zhengcheng and Anling.

A few large counties such as Yanling and Chenliu are still defending desperately, and the remaining small and medium-sized counties are unable to stop the torrent of the Chu army.

Relying on their absolute numerical superiority, the allied forces of various countries conquered the city almost immediately. That is, they arrived at a certain place in the morning and captured the city in the afternoon. The offensive was really fierce.

When they learned that the allied forces led by Chu were attacking so fiercely, the officials in the Luoyang court began to argue more and more fiercely, but even so, the courtiers still could not reach an agreement.

Because everyone has their own way of looking at things, and differences in values ​​and perspectives of observing things will naturally lead to disagreements. This is also the so-called sideways view of a ridge and a side view of a peak.

At such times, the monarch must make his own decision.

"Papa -"

Just when the debate among the ministers in the palace was at its fiercest, Zhao Run clapped his hands twice, not lightly or hard.

To be honest, the sound of Zhao Run's clapping was not very loud, but it immediately stopped the commotion in the hall and restored silence in the hall.

When almost everyone was bowing and secretly looking at the expression on Zhao Run's face, they saw the monarch smiling and saying: "Okay, I have been watching all my beloved ladies in silence for these ten days.

I'm tired of arguing about this matter, so it's your turn to listen to what I have to say..."

After hearing this, all the ministers in the palace acted as if they were listening attentively.

At this time, Zhao Run glanced around at the ministers in the palace and said calmly: "I have decided to lead the expedition myself! ... That's it. Please discuss the specific regulations."

After hearing these words in shock, all the ministers in the palace raised their heads in horror.

Zhu Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, reacted the fastest. After hearing this, he quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you must not..."

Just as he said this, his voice stopped suddenly because Zhao Run glanced at him.

I saw Zhao Run looking around at the ministers present and said calmly: "I am not playing the trick of "Whoever opposes, who agrees" with Zhu Aiqing, I just tell you my thoughts and do not allow anyone to raise them.

objection!"

"..."

The courtiers in the palace looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

It has to be said that Zhao Run inherited his father Zhao Si's style of life in this regard: when it comes to innocuous things, the late king Zhao Si's character is very easy-going, so easy-going that he seems to have no temper, just like the naughty Zhao Run who was provocative in every possible way

, Zhao Si never used the power of the monarch to suppress his son's rebellion.

Over the years, Zhao Run also often "battled wits and courage" with Du You, the Minister of Rites, and other court officials. This has long been a talked about thing in the palace and the court.

But having said that, if you see the two monarchs Zhao Si and Zhao Run who are usually easy-going, and mistakenly think that the two monarchs are weak, it would be a big mistake - in fact, neither father and son are good-tempered masters.

.

Especially Zhao Run, he is more domineering and powerful than his father.

Just like the sentence "No one is allowed to raise objections", his father, Wang Zhao Si, would never say it.

"His Majesty……"

Du You, the Minister of Rites, looked at the monarch in front of him with a complicated expression.

As the head of the hundred officials in the court, he should be the first to speak up to stop the monarch from "putting himself in danger", but... he didn't dare.

Regardless of Du You's repeated admonitions about Zhao Run's laziness, the monarch finally allowed Zhao Run to apologize with a smile on his face - although he never repented - but in fact, Du You also understood in his heart that this was just the emperor's letting go.

Just following him.

Otherwise, with the power of this monarch who can decide the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people with one word, is there any need to show off his smile in front of him? Isn't it just a matter of this monarch's words to remove him from his official position?

Not only Du You, but all the courtiers present also knew clearly: as long as this monarch's bottom line is not touched, this monarch may be the most tolerant monarch in the history of Wei.

At this moment, "the emperor personally marches to rescue Daliang", this is the bottom line of this monarch - any courtier who dares to raise objections at this time, although his life will not be in danger, will definitely be hated by this monarch.

"Why aren't you talking?"

After looking around at the ministers in the palace, Zhao Run said with a smile: "It seems that all of you, my beloved ministers, agree with my decision. Very good, very good."

"..."

The courtiers in the palace looked at each other and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: You have clearly said that you are not allowed to raise any objections, what else can we say?

After a moment of silence, He Yu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was honest and solemn, said: "Your Majesty does not allow me to raise objections. I don't know what to say."

"How dare this guy say that?"

Many courtiers in the palace looked at He Yu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, in surprise. They were surprised that the minister He dared to contradict the monarch at this time.

However, Zhao Run, who was sitting on the throne, did not get angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can wish me to defeat the coalition forces of all countries and return triumphantly... As for those words that I don't want to listen to at the moment, I will keep them in my mind."

In my heart!"

All the courtiers in the palace looked at each other helplessly: He, the monarch of Wei State, was so overbearing once he became overbearing.

After a long time, Zhu Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I support the rescue of Daliang, but I think that there may be room for discussion about the imperial commander's personal expedition... Of course, I do not think that your Majesty cannot succeed. On the contrary, I think that

As long as Your Majesty takes action, even if there are millions of coalition forces from various countries, it will be difficult to resist Your Majesty's power. I just feel that people like Chu Shuijun do not need Your Majesty to take action personally..."

"As expected of someone from the Ministry of Rites, look at what he said."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the palace secretly praised him.

Immediately, Tao Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, also said: "What Zhu Shilang said is absolutely true. How worthy and capable is the Lord of Chu Shui? Do you need to trouble Your Majesty to personally lead the army on an expedition? I think that the King of Nanliang can take on this important task."

As soon as they heard the words "King of Nanliang", the ministers in the palace seemed to have grasped at straws, and they began to persuade me with every word - of course, in a complimentary way.

It’s no wonder, after all, Wei State had three commanders who had the ability to destroy a country, namely King Zhao Run of Wei, King Zhao Yuanzuo of Nanliang, and King Zhao Yuanke of Yu.

In terms of general ability, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, is not much inferior to Zhao Run. At best, Zhao Run has more clever ideas than Zhao Yuanzuo. For example, the sled chariot when he attacked Qin made the Wei army record a record.

The feat of "a hundred thousand troops marched 800 miles in just a few days and arrived at Xianyang City, the capital of the King of Qin" was a feat, or a miracle.

"The King of Nanliang...?"

Zhao Run thought for a moment.

In fact, in recent days, he also considered Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, but he quickly rejected it.

There are three reasons. First, since the death of King Zhao Yuan of Yu, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, has been in poor physical condition. In recent years, it has been worse year by year. Zhao Run was really worried that he would die from fatigue when he was ordered to lead the army.

Halfway through.

Secondly, Zhao Run still has reservations about his trust in Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang. Especially at this moment when it is about the life and death of the country, how dare he put his hope in the former.

As for the third one, this matter is related to the anger in Zhao Run's own heart.

In the past ten days, Zhao Run had frequently received news about the defeat of his country's troops on the front line and the invasion of the country by allied forces from various countries. Zhao Run was extremely angry.

He did not dare to imagine how many Wei people had died tragically at the hands of soldiers from other countries so far, nor did he dare to imagine how many more Wei people would be implicated in this military conflict and die in the future.

As the saying goes, a country cannot stand without people and prosper without a king. As the monarch of Wei State, Zhao Run allows himself to be lazy, but the premise is that he can make the country continue to be prosperous and strong, so that the people in the country can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace.

But now, his people in Wei State are being slaughtered, which makes Zhao Run suffer from anger.

Defeat the coalition forces of various countries and defend the country?

No, no, no, his expedition this time is more than just that.

Through this battle, he wants to make the world understand that his country, Wei, is by no means weak and can be bullied!
