The people in Handan City were filled with indignation and wanted to seek justice for their general. Even if the palace guards showed their shining swords, they would not take a step back.
Mr. Pingyuan looked at this scene with half joy and half worry in his heart. What is gratifying is that the people of Zhao State still love Zhao Kuo so much and the heroes who protect this country. As long as they are around, Zhao State will not be destroyed. What is worrying is that if the current conflict expands, it will not be good for Zhao Kuo either. , it will be a disaster for King Zhao and even the State of Zhao.
Mr. Pingyuan knew what he had to do.
He was about to break through the crowd, identify himself to the palace guards, and stop the conflict from proceeding.
Unfortunately, Mr. Pingyuan is still a step too late.
Seeing that the conflict behind him was about to break out, Zhao Kuo suddenly woke up and immediately clasped his hands into fists and said: "Wei Chen takes orders."
With that said, he took the king's order silk book from the eunuch's hand.
Zhao Kuo's voice was not too loud, but the scene was still silent. Even the eunuch Ling was stunned by Zhao Kuo's sudden decisiveness, but he didn't think much about it and immediately handed over the silk letter of Wang's order, turned around and left. I have to take the palace guards back to the palace to pay errands.
But in the crowd, a powerful voice suddenly sounded!
"No!" Mr. Pingyuan finally burst out his voice after several delays.
Hearing this, with a "chang" sound, the palace guard in front of Lord Pingyuan pulled out the sword in his hand. Under the scorching sun, the silver sword blade shone brightly.
Lord Pingyuan could not be afraid of such a battle, so he immediately advanced instead of retreating, and was about to encounter the long sword which was not very sharp. And the palace guard who had never been on the battlefield actually took two steps back because of Lord Pingyuan's coercion.
Mr. Pingyuan is not afraid, there are people who are afraid. Mr. Pingyuan's shout successfully attracted everyone's attention. Even the eunuch Ling looked over with an annoyed look - who doesn't want to live and dares to block the king's order? !
It's just that the moment the eunuch Ling saw Lord Pingyuan, his angry look instantly turned into a smile. Others didn't know Lord Pingyuan, but he was very familiar with him. Not to mention Lord Pingyuan's current status in the court, just because Lord Pingyuan is the uncle of King Zhao, it is enough to make the eunuchs bow to their knees.
Immediately, he took three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly ran in front of Mr. Pingyuan. He slapped the palace guard on the back of the head and said angrily: "I've blinded you, this is Lord Pingyuan!"
After saying that, he looked at Mr. Pingyuan with a smile on his face, clasped his hands in a bow and said, "Jun Pingyuan, why are you here?!"
"Huh!" Lord Pingyuan didn't answer, just snorted coldly, and then walked quickly to Zhao Kuo's side, and the eunuch order didn't have any intention of resentment at all, and even followed the Lord Pingyuan. rear.
Helping Zhao Kuo up with both hands, Pingyuan Jun apologized in a low voice: "I'm too late!" As he said this, he took the royal order silk book from Zhao Kuo's hand. Obviously, Mr. Pingyuan was preparing to intercept King Zhao's chaotic life.
This move obviously scared Zhao Kuo.
Even for Lord Pingyuan, it would be a huge risk to withhold the king's life. Not to mention it would harm King Zhao, but at least it would be a stain on his political career. Its nature is even worse than Zhao Kuo's obedience. After the change of time, it was very easy for political opponents to target Pingyuan Jun as the target of attack.
Obviously, Mr. Pingyuan made such a decision with great determination, and it could even be said that he was betting on his own political future. If King Zhao commits additional crimes, even though Lord Pingyuan is King Zhao's uncle, he will inevitably have to remain silent for a long time. At least his status as the number one person in the court may not be preserved.
Does Mr. Pingyuan know? Of course he knew, but he did it anyway. Because Pingyuan Jun knew that if he intercepted this royal order, there would be room for change. Once it was issued, there would be no room for change between King Zhao and Zhao Kuo. At least, from Pingyuan Jun's perspective, this is indeed the case.
Zhao Kuo was naturally moved by Pingyuan Jun's approach. But obviously, Zhao Kuo did not feel as angry as King Pingyuan expected from King Zhao's royal decree. Zhao Kuo even wanted to thank King Zhao for his generosity and generously pushed the subjects of Zhao to his side again.
Zhao Kuo withdrew his hand and looked at Mr. Pingyuan lightly.
He shook his head and then clasped his fists to thank Mr. Pingyuan for his kindness, but the determination in his eyes was extremely firm.
The hoarse voice immediately said: "It would be inappropriate to retract the king's order immediately. I also ask Mr. Pingyuan to report back to the king. Once I can ride a horse, I will go north as soon as possible. As for envoys from other countries, I will not... ..."
As he spoke, Zhao Kuo coughed violently.
"Ma Fujun." Pingyuan Jun held Zhao Kuo's arm with one hand.
Without waiting for Lord Pingyuan to ask, Zhao Kuo continued: "Please Lord Pingyuan to explain something to the king, so that I can get a few days of training for this general. Once, once..."
As he spoke, Zhao Kuo coughed violently again.
Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo, who was pale and almost coughing out his lungs. His eyes turned red and his back molars were almost broken. This is an unparalleled true national scholar! After suffering such grievance, what I thought of was still the prestige of the king, and I also wanted to dispel the king's doubts. Even the so-called request was only a few days of training time. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what have you done?
Not only Lord Pingyuan was filled with grief and anger, but more and more Handan people behind him were also filled with indignation when they saw this situation.
"General!"
"General!"
The calls once again pulled Pingyuan Jun's liver and intestines apart, and his heart felt even more painful.
"Hurry up and help your Majesty get some rest." The red-eyed Lord Pingyuan then roared angrily at Zhao Kuo's soldiers beside him.
Upon hearing this, the soldier with also red eyes immediately took over Zhao Kuo, who was already a little unsteady on his feet, nodded slightly towards Lord Pingyuan, and then carried Zhao Kuo towards the house.
Taking a deep breath, Lord Pingyuan glanced at the eunuch's order with his razor-like gaze, and said coldly: "Go back to the palace."
After speaking, he ignored the eunuch's order that was stunned and walked straight to his carriage.
Standing on the carriage, Mr. Pingyuan bowed to the people of Handan, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will enter the palace now and ask for an explanation from the general."
Immediately, Mr. Pingyuan got into the carriage, which immediately started and headed straight towards the palace.
A royal farce came to an end in front of the Zhao Mansion. However, its impact is far from over. As word of mouth spread among the people, King Zhao's royal decree spread like wildfire, and the entire Zhao court was in an uproar.
At the same time, King Zhao's speechless behavior undoubtedly gave the envoys of various countries unlimited imagination, and a new wave of visits began.
