The Lord of Zhao heard the voice of his old friend and was so excited that he held Lu Zhan's hand tightly.

Lu Zhan said: "Your Majesty, why are you brought in?"

The king of Zhao sighed and said, "Alas, I am not prepared for this matter. It was that person who brought you in?"

Several people nodded silently, with a sad expression on their faces.

The king of Zhao asked again: "So, the thing that Zhao army surrendered to the enemy was not what you did, it was that person who turned into you?"

Lu Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, otherwise how could I surrender to the enemy!"

The king of Zhao sighed regretfully and said, "If I had heard Sun Chengzhi's words, I would not have been like this today."

Lu Zhan quickly patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Your Majesty, even if you have listened to others and have prepared for it, we are no match for that person, that person... he is not a human being."

The face of the king of Zhao changed, but he understood a truth in his heart. It was too late for them to say anything here.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Lu Zhan: "Lu Zhan, do you know what that person is going to do to us?"

According to the thoughts of Lord Zhao, since Lin Tao imprisoned them here, it proved that Lin Tao would not attack them.

But it’s just that I won’t do anything during this period, and it’s not that easy to say over time.

A look of indescribable expression appeared on Lu Zhan's face: "This... Your Majesty, you still don't know."

...

At this time, the faceless Lin Tao once again used his transformation magical skills, transforming into the appearance of the king of Zhao State Lu Yan, and appeared in the Xuanzheng Hall of Zhao State in a swagger.

There were dozens of people in the Xuanzheng Hall, either standing or sitting, all of whom were important members and official positions in the royal family of Zhao.

People whispered and discussed, and they were very confused as to why the Lord of Zhao suddenly summoned them all.

Lin Tao sat on the throne, lazily, crossed his legs and said, "In fact, there is nothing important to gather everyone together this time."

"I'm mainly trying to announce one thing today, that is, I decided to improve some diplomatic relations with several neighboring countries around me."

There were dozens of officials of all sizes in the palace, and there were many guards and staff of officials outside.

This time, Lin Tao could not take that simple and crude way to surrender directly to the enemy. This sounds very fake and it is definitely impossible to achieve it.

Therefore, this time Lin Tao decided to take mild measures and keep flowing.

The specific operation method is to first terminate the diplomatic relations between Zhao State and the surrounding Wei State, Chu State, Teng State and the Immortal World Expeditionary Force.

Then, he used his identity as the Lord of Zhao to actively launch an attack on these countries and completely muddle the flood in the south of the real world.

At this moment, a person suddenly stood up from below and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs long-term planning."

Lin Tao squinted his eyes and looked at this man. He was not a member of the royal family of Zhao State or an official of Zhao State, but an envoy sent by Teng State, Liu Gong.

For such a long time, Mr. Liu has gained the trust of the king of Zhao State Lu Yan. Lu Yan allowed him to make reasonable suggestions to him in the hall, and the person who spoke was not guilty.

You should know that this kind of treatment is very rare in his country.

And you, a foreign envoy, can get such treatment, and even be treated by the king as his most trusted aide, which will inevitably lead to jealousy and criticism from others.

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Liu spoke, the others started to discuss in a low voice.

"In such an occasion, he should not be qualified to speak, right?"

"Worry, he is the person the king trusts most now. Alas, I really don't know if he is from Teng or Zhao."

"Speaking of this, the king actually obeyed such a person's words. I don't know what he used to understand the king's thoughts."

"The king should have treated him as his own. Soon after Tengguo was destroyed by the Immortal World Expeditionary Force, he would have the intention to take him under his command. So we are still kind to be at peace now, at least we won't do anything to you in the future."

"But when it comes to that time, I'm afraid this is the only one who can be the prime minister, right?"

"Cough cough!" Hearing this, Bi Shiyuan, the current right prime minister of Zhao State, suddenly coughed twice on purpose, and his face tightened.

When everyone heard this voice, they lowered their heads one after another and stopped talking.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Gong up and down, and said, "Do you think this matter needs long-term planning?"

Mr. Liu nodded, bowed respectfully, and said, "Yes."

Because he has gained the trust of the Lord of Zhao, Mr. Liu's attitude in the court is no longer as cautious as before.

Even many other court officials dare not say something, Liu Gong could easily bring it up.

Lin Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what you are?"

Mr. Liu was slightly stunned. He never expected that the Lord of Zhao would ask him this question.

For a moment, an ominous premonition suddenly surged into Liu Gong's heart.

Mr. Liu reluctantly showed great calmness, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "I am the envoy sent by the Lord of Teng Kingdom to His Majesty."

Lin Tao nodded, showed a satisfied expression and said, "A envoy, I am actually making trouble for my own affairs. Is there a place where you speak?"

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

What's wrong with the king today?

Why does it seem like someone else has changed?

He couldn't speak to me like this, he still trusted me.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Mr. Liu bowed deeply, quickly admitted his mistake, and said, "Yes, I am afraid, I am guilty."

No matter what, if you show a low profile in your attitude first, the king will be unable to have an attack.

Lin Tao waved his hand, turned his head to look at the others in the court, and said, "Where is the prime minister, where is the prime minister?"

The prime minister stood up slowly, bowed to Lin Tao, and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Lin Tao raised his eyes and looked at the prime minister in front of him. This was an old man in his sixties or seventies, and his temples had already turned gray.

Lin Tao said: "Prime Minister, I want to announce an important thing today. After I announce it, you will deal with it immediately."

The prime minister bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Tao said: "From today on, Zhao State and Teng State will be in contact with all diplomatic relations and diplomatic relations. The same is true for Chu State, Wei State, Immortal Expeditionary Force, etc., to terminate all relations."

The prime minister was slightly stunned, with a look of difference.

Didn’t you just say that you should improve your relationship with several surrounding countries?

Why did we suddenly resolve the diplomatic relations with these countries?

Lin Tao glanced at the prime minister, looked at his silent appearance for a long time, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, is there any problem?"

The prime minister hesitated for a moment and said, "This, Your Majesty, do you want to consider it again..."

Lin Tao raised his eyebrows, and looked unhappy in an instant, saying, "What else do you think about? I made a decision after careful consideration. Do you have any objections?"

The Prime Minister quickly denied: "No, since Your Majesty has already carefully considered it, I will go and execute it immediately."

"Well, I plan to send a letter to the envoys of each country first, and then to the lords of each country to inform them, so that their people can be thoroughly completed within a certain period of time. What do you think of this?"

The Prime Minister disagrees with the plan of the king.

Zhao State is in the four battles, surrounded by strong enemies, and diplomatic relations with surrounding countries determine whether the country is peaceful.

But at present, he suddenly cut off diplomatic relations with all the surrounding countries, which can easily arouse suspicion among surrounding countries. Did Zhao take any further action?

Is Zhao going to cause trouble?

At that time, these powerful enemies and neighboring countries will inevitably take some extreme measures, such as joining forces to take the lead in launching an attack and killing Zhao.

Zhao State is a giant, unlike the small country like Zou State, which can destroy the capital in less than a month.

If you want to completely eat Zhao State, even if these countries unite, they will definitely not be able to take it down within a year or two.

But the prime minister still did not object.

Because he is about to leave office gloriously less than a year, he is only stable now and can retire peacefully during his term of office.

As for what happens to Zhao in the future, and its relationship with its neighbors, that is the next one.

Moreover, it was the Lord Zhao himself who made this decision, so what could he do?

After hearing the prime minister's plan, Lin Tao waved his hand and said impatiently: "No need to be so troublesome. Just send someone to write a letter to tell them, and just say that I will not make diplomatic relations with them and let them love whoever they want."

I...

Who do you love...

The prime minister felt speechless and surprised. What happened to the king today? Did he take the wrong medicine?

The old prime minister nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Even though he said so, he still made a secret decision in his heart. No matter what, he still had to do the etiquette he should do to other countries. Otherwise, it would be so ugly if everyone met in the future.

Lin Tao suddenly turned his eyes and his eyes fell directly on Liu Gong's body, making Liu Gong's heart shudder.

Mr. Liu forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Tao said lightly: "Mr. Liu, since diplomatic relations have been terminated between our State of Zhao and your State of Teng, why are you still standing here?"

Liu Gong's lips twitched twice, and he smiled stiffly, saying, "That's because Your Majesty made the decision to terminate diplomatic relations today. Your Majesty, I will go tomorrow... no, I will set off today and return to Teng Country."

Mr. Liu also smelled a trace of danger, so without Lin Tao's words, he took the initiative to resign and planned to leave Zhao, a place of right and wrong.

But, it's too late.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about it. It just so happens that our State of Zhao also has a good place to go. You might as well stay in State of Zhao. Come on, take Mr. Liu to me and send it to the dungeon!"
