Chapter 556 Absolute loyalty leads to demise
"Report to Your Majesty, everything is fine for your holy body. It can be said that the dragon spirit is fierce... It's really my great Zhao's blessing." The old doctor stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and smiled.
"...Is that true? Old Doctor, take a closer look. I was injured when I broke through the siege... Perhaps, there may be any hidden injuries..." Zhao Hao heard the sound, but his anxiety and uneasiness on his face did not decrease at all, but continued to say quickly.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have investigated Your Majesty's whole body, from shallow to the skin veins, deep to the bone marrow snow mountain... They are all full of vitality and without any damage... I guess His Majesty has a special constitution, strong body, and those skin injuries are cured without medicine, which is reasonable..." The old doctor said this when he heard this.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he tried to make a happy face and said, "It's true, haha... I just said, I am the King of Zhao, and I have the protection of my own spirits. How can I hurt me just by swords and guns on the battlefield? Well, there's nothing you have to do here, you can retreat."
"Yes." The old doctor said, then turned around and walked out. When his figure completely disappeared, the expression of "happiness" on Zhao Hao's face disappeared and turned into anger: "What a famous doctor Zhao! A waste! I thought I could use him to remove the Gu, but I didn't expect that he could not even see that the Gu was put in my body. It's really a false reputation!"
After cursing, he seemed to let out a breath and calmed down, and his face turned into melancholy again.
"well……"
"Is this the only way to do this..."
Looking at the gorgeous decorations around him and thinking about the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhao, a strong sense of reluctance arose in his heart...
Yes, as Chu Tianxiao and the others expected, after Zhao Hao tasted the sweetness of authority, he gradually developed other thoughts...
You should know that although the southeastern territory was upside down by Chu Tianxiao, Da Zhao was the third largest country in China, and it was impossible for him to lose his main force in the blink of an eye. It can even be said that even when he reached this point, Da Zhao's foundation in the southeast was still there... Although Zhao Shaodi died, his golden finger was not destroyed. Just like the "hint" of the Great Prodigy System, after "silence" for a while, it slowly passed the "half-main position" of Zhao Hao to Zhao Hao, who inherited the position of Emperor Zhao. Although he himself did not know this, the talents summoned by Emperor Zhao did indeed transfer their loyalty to Emperor Zhao to him!
Therefore, this caused shortly after he ascended the throne, talents from all walks of life and powerful generals came to serve his loyalty. The city was like snowballing, and not long after, more than 100,000 Zhao troops gathered...
Seeing that the strength in hand is getting stronger and stronger, I gradually realized what the status of "The Lord of Great Zhao" is... Zhao Hao naturally will not be willing to surrender obediently...
However, that "Must-lost insect Gu" was finally a thorn stuck in Zhao Hao's heart. If it were not removed... When he thought of the miserable appearance of Emperor Zhao before his death, he subconsciously shivered.
So these days, he secretly searched for strange people from all walks of life. The doctors entered the palace and tried to find a solution. Unfortunately... he had not been infected with a poison, so how could he find out the cause?
So, the situation fell into a vicious cycle... After making the last struggle tonight, Zhao Hao finally realized that he could not get rid of this nightmare...
"Forget it, let me see the reactions of the ministers tomorrow morning. If everyone resists, then I will try my best, rush the army to the Jindu, and burn all the jades and stones to force the prodigal son to hand over the method of removing the Gu... Although it is difficult to succeed, it is better than waiting to die!"
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhao Hao went around for a night and finally made up his mind to announce the matter on the morning court the next day... he directly announced the matter.
Of course, he did not directly say the word "surrender", but said tactfully, "For the overall situation of destroying demons", the command of the Zhao army can be handed over to the Great Zhou...
Although he was tactful, Zhao Hao believed that with the cleverness of the important officials off the field, he should be able to hear the potential in his words...
Hearing the sound, someone immediately came out to object, but Zhao Hao didn't care about those little people... He only focused on the real key, which was the important officials left to him by his father...
"Have your Majesty decided?"
After thinking for a while, several important officials looked at each other and finally clasped their fists and said.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao suddenly sank to the bottom, but at this time, of course he had to pretend to the end, so he nodded and said, "No, I have decided!"
Hearing the sound, several important officials showed determination and said in unison: "Since that's the case, I will only follow His Majesty's leader."
After these words, Zhao Hao almost turned his nose awkward!
"Okay, you guys... I respectfully treat me on weekdays, and I say it as if I can sacrifice my head and blood for Da Zhao, I, and I... But when things come to an end, it's like this? Humph! I'm saying so easily, you are afraid that you have already been determined to surrender to the enemy?"
Zhao Hao did not know that these summoned officials were "absolutely loyal to Emperor Zhao". They might make up for Emperor Zhao's strategy and correct some of the mistakes when discussing something... But they would never have any complaints about Emperor Zhao's private decision!
In fact, Chu Tianxiao had long noticed this - when he saw the demon concubines in Zhao Shaodi Palace rampant, the merit building was exhausting the people and the money was damaged, but a group of summoned advisers did not react fiercely at all, and even those important officials did not advise...
After this, after so many things, he could finally conclude that these summoning talents were like excellent assistants, who would help the master and point out his mistakes if necessary, but they would never interfere with the master's "already clear" wishes - even if that wish was extremely absurd.
To put it bluntly, these talent summons are not real humans after all...
The so-called absolute loyalty may at some point become a fatal blow that leads to destruction...
However, Zhao Hao didn't know these things. He only saw that after he suggested "surrender", these people did not resist at all, but instead said "beautiful words"... For a moment, he was filled with anger, but then he felt completely disappointed...
"Fake... all are fake... whatever vows to serve the country to the death, what kind of dynasty hegemony is all jokes, they are all fake!"
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhao Hao couldn't help but have a thought of giving up on himself...
He looked at the "loyal" important minister below with exhaustion and said as if he was angry: "Since that's the case... just surrender completely!"
What responded to him was the hysterical opposition of a group of insignificant ministers, and the voice of the "very respectful" after a group of important officials hesitated...
"I, please follow your order."
...
...
In the 316th year of Zhao Li, autumn.
Emperor Xian of Zhao published the last letter of nationality from Da Zhao.
The Great Zhao Empire surrendered and perished.
This is the "mystery of Emperor Xian" that later historians could not understand. According to the environmental analysis at that time, although the years of Zhao were not good, after careful consideration, his strength and foundation were still there, and there was no direct threat of the country's destruction... So, what purpose did Emperor Xian of Zhao "dedicate" the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhao to the Great Zhou Empire?
People in later generations can't even think of it even if they want to break their heads.
But the situation in China finally changed drastically.
...
"It's over..."
After learning that Emperor Xian of Zhao issued a letter of surrender, Chu Tianxiao knew that the overall situation had been decided.
Especially after receiving a "secret report" that will never be published in the world...
"Gong Han, the first think tank under Lu Xianhui, stood up and took the blame. He had already committed suicide a few days ago. The major general won the regret and was resigned from the capital forever. He was considered to have exposed the matter on the surface... And Lu Xianhui himself will be "preached" with the important task of "pacifying the barbarians", and will be promoted to the secret lock, and stay in the barbarian land. If there is no edict, he will never return to the capital and never be free..."
"Either die or live is worse than death."
“…It seems that I won.”
"Finally won."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his eyes slightly.
In front of you, the sky is slightly green.
Behind him, he was defeated like Lan.
He smiled slightly, turned his head, and his voice was faint.
“… Then, go back.”
