Time always passes quickly. The people of Longcheng, who are in sorrow, unknowingly discovered that their king had been dead for six days. After tonight, the "first seventh" day will usher in.

In the past few days, the inside and outside of Longcheng have been under martial law. All the gates are closely guarded by the army, and no one can get out. Although this has caused many inconveniences to the lives of ordinary people, no one has any complaints. In such a period of internal and external troubles, this is a special means to maintain stability, and everyone understands it. However, the uneasiness in the heart is always inevitable.

The people have already heard of Zhao State being besieged by the army of five vassals. Although many wars occurred within this territory in the past, and Hu cavalry invaded Longcheng, this time it was different from the past. Because King Zhao Chulie passed away! Without the support of this huge figure of the king, everyone seemed to have lost confidence. They did not know whether Zhao State could overcome this difficulty.

Unlike ordinary people who only worry about the enemy's robbery, all the officials from Wang Ting from all over the country were more and more serious. Because they all knew that the crisis facing Zhao State came not only from outside, but from inside Longcheng, perhaps it was more deadly!

Many of the things that happened in Jinxiang Palace a few days ago, even if there were no one who personally participated, had heard of them. His Royal Highness's qualification to inherit the prince was questioned and opposed by several important ministers! This is undoubtedly a very uneasy event. Moreover, since then, the situation inside and outside Jinxiang Palace has become confusing, and no one knows what else will happen next.

Among them, what shocked everyone the most was the attitude of the two adult princes of the royal family. It is said that the eldest prince Liang Sheng has disappeared for no reason, and no one knows where he has gone. Chu Qingyun, who returned from Liaodong County, has been acting in a mysterious manner these days. Someone saw him go in and out of Wang Shuchu's residence, but he didn't know what he was planning secretly.

Brotherly discord has always been a taboo. What's more, it's a royal family with complex relationships! At this critical moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring in the direction of Jinxiang Palace in the dark. Perhaps only if the queen comes forward can we bring people confidence.

However, it is not known whether it is because of excessive sadness or other considerations that Queen Jiang Xin has never appeared, nor has she publicly expressed any of her opinions. The prince was even more disappointing. It is said that he expelled the prime minister Fei Yi with a arrogant and unreasonable attitude, and then locked himself in the Fushou Palace, concentrating on guarding the dead former king. He even personally issued an order that he would guard the soul for ten days, and during this period, he ignored anything.

All those who heard the news were shocked. In the past, everyone just thought that the prince was a playboy and did whatever he did was just because he was young and ignorant. But now it seems that he is indeed difficult to become a great man. Not only is he a playboy, but he is also extremely stupid!

"The State of Zhao is over! Even if you don't die in the enemy's plan, you will die in the hands of this unfilial son..."

This silent sadness is the sigh that most people in Longcheng from the bottom of the hearts! Now, their only hope is perhaps to pray that King Zhao has a spirit in heaven and can bless the soldiers of Zhao to fight back against all the invading enemies, so as to protect the people through this difficulty.

When the news of Zhao's continuous failure on the Western Front spread, it inevitably fell into a panic everywhere, and within these few days it had spread throughout the city.

It was in such an atmosphere that some of the ambitions that had been buried for a long time felt that the time had come and it was finally time to prepare for an outbreak.

The wind is cold and the moon is dim, and the stars are dim. The residence of the royal mansion located in the northeast corner of Longcheng seems very quiet. A few lonely lanterns illuminate half of the streets, and the occasional shadows flash by naturally make the guards in several mansions closely guard.

The Zhao State had a mourning, and these royal nobles who were connected by blood also used plain white to cover up all luxury and prosperity. What you can see is either black or white, which makes outsiders who are used to the prosperity here feel a little uncomfortable.

Today, among the vassal states, the places where the royal families live together have a transcendent status. Zhao State is naturally no exception. Although Zhao King Chulie has always regarded the people as his concern, he can only try his best not to be above the people. As for the various aristocratic privileges he passed down, he could not make any changes.

In the past few years, because of his great prestige among the people of Zhao State, although no royal family dared to publicly challenge his authority, it was not without uniting and resisting it because some things touched their interests. King Chulie of Zhao was also furious about this, but he could not punish them in the end. This was certainly because he cared about the royal bloodline, but from another perspective, there were many helpless elements.

Outsiders naturally have no way to know about King Zhao's helplessness. But within the royal family, many nobles are very clear about it. It is precisely because of this that they often do things that ignore the law in many cases. Although they have not yet developed to the extent of open disobedience, in the eyes of all the people of Zhao, the royal aristocratic group has become a giant that cannot be afforded or touched.

Now that King Zhao is dead, the only person who can suppress them no longer exists, and it is finally time for them to be unscrupulous. If we don’t take this opportunity to take control of the power of Zhao in our own hands, how can we be worthy of their many years of ambitions?

At the second update of the night, everything sounded silently. Just when most people began to fall asleep, there were guests in the mansion of Wang Shuchu’s grandfather, which was very lively. Although it was during the national funeral, there were no banquets and singing and dancing. However, in this brightly lit hall, the tables in front of everyone were filled with various fresh fruits and delicacies. Everyone here had a lot of fun eating!

Wang Shuchu Daxing, who was in the position of a junior doctor, sat in the main seat with a smile, and looked at the people who followed his secretly summoned tonight, and was very satisfied. These officials from all over the royal court who were only his leader on weekdays could come at such a call, which was enough to show his prestige among these people. If the power of the royal nobles was added, he felt that he could make a last try to realize his ambitions in his heart.

"I thank you for your arrival! During the funeral of the former king, there was so much inconvenience in purchasing... If there is any inappropriate reception, please don't be surprised!"

In the hall, there were bright candles shining brightly. On his left hand, there were more than a dozen royal nobles sitting around him. After several cases lined up on the right, officials who held various important positions in the royal court. When they heard him speak, everyone thanked him and said they didn't dare to take it.

"Since everyone has come, I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you with a glass!"

Chu Daxing stood up and glanced around. Everyone gave a gift together. They all knew that he would have something to say next, so they stopped eating and drinking and listened calmly. Sure enough, Uncle Wang sighed, with a little sobbing in his voice.

"The passing of the former king, this is a great misfortune of Zhao State! The whole country is so sad, and I feel it. And the enemy's attack is even worse! When this crisis comes, I call you all to come, really for the sake of the safety of the country and the fate of the people, and I have no selfish intentions... I hope everyone can understand my painstaking efforts!"

After hearing his words, no matter whether it was true or false, everyone showed a painful expression on their faces. Then they persuaded and expressed their determination, expressing their absolute support for any decisions made by Uncle Wang. A trace of undetectable pride flashed across Chu Daxing's face. Then his tone changed and he began to become passionate.

"However, although I am loyal, under the current situation, there are great obstacles to leading everyone to turn the situation around! Whenever I think of the helplessness, for several days, I have been unable to sleep at night and unwilling to eat... Alas! How many people can know the pain in my heart?"

"Uncle Wang has something to say, just say it clearly! Our royal family will definitely stand on your side."

Someone stood up and said loudly. Although the old man in the royal family could not fight anything, his words represented the opinions of many people. The dozen royal nobles who came nodded and expressed their support.

This place represents a political consultant among the more than 20 royal officials who came tonight, and immediately stood up and firmly expressed his attitude towards Chu Daxing.

"Doctor Zhongda, don't worry, since we have all come, we are ready. From now on, we will advance and retreat together above the royal court!"

"Okay! Very good... What you want is this sentence from everyone. All of you must remember that the major things I plan tonight are for the peace of the Zhao country. If you have selfish intentions, you are willing to receive the pain of thousands of arrows piercing your heart!"

The old royal minister swears to the lamp, and the scene is touching. Everyone stands up and strodes his hands and praises. Someone in front of the hall has yelled again.

"Mr. Wang, please tell me directly! There are no outsiders here, so it's all right!"

"Okay! Since everyone trusts me so much, I won't go around in circles. When Zhao is worried about domestic and external troubles, I believe that if things are prioritized, the so-called "to fight against foreign countries must first settle the internal situation!"

"We are stupid, I want to hear it carefully!"
