The arena of the heavens.
On the chariot.
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, had a rare experience of the feelings of his former emperor and great-grandfather. He glared angrily at the "treasonous son" in front of him and said coldly:
"You traitor! I told you yesterday that I would take your two brothers on an expedition together today, but how dare you get so drunk!"
"Look at your elder brother, and look at how useless you are. How can you be worthy of being the crown prince of our Kingdom of Zhao?"
"Come here, give me a beating... wait, I will do it myself!"
While talking, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen silently picked up the wooden stick that he had prepared, which was as thick as his wrist.
In the past, he was the one who received the beatings from his ancestors. Today, as time passes, it is finally his turn to beat someone up!
A flash of panic flashed in Prince Qian's eyes, and he was so frightened that he backed away and stammered:
"Father, the child is wronged!"
"My child just had a drink...ah! Father, please forgive me!"
The prince was seen wailing as he was beaten and curled up into a ball.
Seeing this, Prince Jia, the eldest son of King Zhao Daoxiang, quickly stepped forward to stop his father and persuaded him:
"Father, please calm down, the prince did not do it on purpose."
"Father, please calm down."
…
After a while, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen casually threw the two-part wooden stick off the chariot and said angrily:
"Treason, if your elder brother hadn't interceded for you today, I would have beaten you to death!"
"Get out of the chariot and follow the army on foot. If you can't keep up, you will be treated as if I don't have a son like you and you will be punished by having your chariot broken apart!"
"According to the king's order, the crown prince was deposed and Prince Jia was appointed as the crown prince instead!"
Prince Qian was so beaten that he was dizzy, and for a moment, he couldn't recover at all.
He didn't understand why his father, who loved him the most in the past, would treat him like this!
What did he do wrong?
Wasn't it just a drink last night?
Why should he be deposed as prince?
Seeing the miserable condition of his younger brother, Gongzi Jia was not at all happy to regain his position as prince. After accepting the order, he helped his younger brother get out of the chariot.
Later, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, who was sitting aside and watching the excitement, said with emotion:
"Wang Jia of the Zhao Dynasty, the eldest son of King Zhao Daoxiang. Because King Zhao favored the queen, he deposed his legitimate son and moved to the throne."
"In the nineteenth year of the First Emperor, after the Qin army defeated Zhao, the Zhao nobles and Jia fled to Dai, and the ministers jointly established Jia as king. In the twenty-fifth year of the First Emperor, Qin general Wang Ben attacked Dai County, and the Zhao Kingdom was completely destroyed."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, spit it out immediately, and said disdainfully:
"What, this wine tastes too bad."
"Prince Jin, are you saying that this Young Master Jia is still a British master?"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan shook his head and said casually:
"The British Master? It depends on who you compare with. Compared with the king of Zhao who lost his country, King Zhao Youmiao, and Prince Qian, Gongzi Jia is barely considered a benevolent and righteous king."
"When King Zhao Youmiao was in power, although he reused general Li Mu and defeated the Qin army in succession, Qin bribed the treacherous minister Guo Kai with huge sums of money."
"Bewitched by Guo Kai, he falsely accused Li Mu of treason and killed Li Mu. Later Qin general Wang Jian defeated the Zhao army and captured Handan. King Youmiao of Zhao surrendered with a map."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, turned his wrist and suddenly felt that he had been beaten lightly and asked:
"King Jin, let's not talk about the affairs of these two rebellious sons. I heard from the spies that the King of Wei also sent all his troops to the border. What should Zhao do?"
"Really want to fight?"
When things came to a close, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt a little scared.
The same army of more than 200,000 people also has famous generals in the army, and there are "counselors" beside them to make suggestions.
But unlike the battle at Tumubao, King Zhu Fan of Jin was not comparable to the old man Wang Zhenneng.
Therefore, after hearing the report from the spies, it seemed that the Wei State was not going to give way, so Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, could only place his hope on the King of Jin.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan said confidently:
"Qi Zhen, just relax, I've already made preparations."
After hearing this, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was completely relieved and stopped paying attention to the news from various countries sent back by the spies.
Being in the army is like being in a palace. Sometimes the maids are ordered to perform dances, and sometimes they are drunk.
In this way, they ate, drank, had fun, and followed the army to the border between Wei and Zhao.
…
In the cold wind, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were like a natural barrier, cutting across the front of the Zhao army.
The soldiers of the whole country, and the king of Wei who came here in person, saw the Zhao army coming with great momentum, and sent an envoy to the front of the Zhao army, holding high the bamboo slips and shouting:
"By order of the king, I invite King Zhao to speak in front of the formation."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, leaned out from the chariot, hugging the charming beauties on his left and right sides, and asked doubtfully:
"Li Mu, who is that? How dare you shout in front of an army of two hundred thousand?"
"Could it be that he is bullying everyone in the Zhao Kingdom? Kill him for me and bring peace to the Wei Kingdom!"
Li Mu's face suddenly darkened. After the soldiers came to report, he whispered:
"Your Majesty, that is the envoy sent by King Wei, inviting you to speak before the battle."
Upon hearing this, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen waved his hands, took the two beauties back to the chariot without looking back, and said:
"Invite me to speak before the formation? What if the King of Wei tricks me and captures me alive?"
"Don't think that I don't know what it means to be a soldier. It's a trick. "
Seeing this, Li Mu took a few steps forward on his horse and persuaded:
"Your Majesty, from what I can see, the King of Wei does not seem to be hostile. If not, he would not have left the city and come here to stop the army."
"It's better..."
At the same time, the voice of Jin King Zhu Fan rang in Ming Yingzong’s ears:
"See King Wei, and leave the rest to me."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, pushed the two beauties away without hesitation, turned around, and said righteously:
"Okay, I would like to see what King Wei has to say."
"Guo Kai, you are the only one who will go with me."
There was no way, compared to Li Mu and other generals, Ming Yingzong still trusted Jin Wang Zhu Fan more.
…
Then, a chariot drove out of Zhao Jun's formation. Jin Wang Zhu Fan was driving the chariot. He turned his head and took a look. Seeing Ming Yingzong's legs trembling, he joked:
"Qi Zhen, are you scared?"
"Show off your confidence in eating, drinking and having fun in front of those emperors these days."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, had already thought of a reason and started telling lies as soon as he opened his mouth:
"What about eating, drinking and having fun? I have no choice but to do it."
"Who said that King Zhao Youxiang is a foolish king? If he didn't pretend to be a foolish king, those ministers would definitely guess that I am not King Zhao."
At first, Ming Yingzong also wanted to be a hero honestly, but sitting in a chariot was too boring, and he had not been around women for a long time.
I just cuddled and watched the beauty dance. I didn't do anything inappropriate. I should...probably...maybe I wouldn't get beaten, right?
Jin King Zhu Fan drove his chariot to the front of the two armies, stopped, and whispered:
"Qizhen, it doesn't matter what I say. You should ask your great-grandfather if he believes you."
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, had a bitter look on his face and secretly scolded King Zhao Daoxiang for being too fatuous, as all the palace maids were as beautiful as flowers and jade.
He wasn't the inhumane Wanyan Gou, so how could he hold back?
At this moment, a chariot came from the Wei army's formation. Seeing that the King of Wei was late, Ming Yingzong said angrily:
"King Wei, you are so brave. You dare to be late when you invite me to have a talk in front of the battle array!"
"Are you trying to insult me?"
"As an apology, I will cede fifty cities. Otherwise, I will destroy your Wei Kingdom, steal your queen...ahem, and slaughter your soldiers!"
