When the explosion sounded, there were indeed many ministers from Zhao State nearby, and Xu Li was one of them.

Therefore, Xu Li was also the first minister of Zhao to arrive at the scene.

Looking at the big pit in front of him, Xu Li's face suddenly changed and he shouted wildly.

"Master, Master!"

Xu Li is actually the Grand Sima of Zhao. He does not need to call anyone the lord except the King of Zhao.

But now in a hurry, Xu Li obviously didn't care about so much.

Not only Xu Li, but Pang Nuan also arrived at the scene soon.

Pang Nuan looked at the scene in front of her and was also an old face, completely unable to suppress her shocked expression.

"How did it become like this? Who dared to murder Wu Xinjun?"

Faced with Pang Nuan's stern questioning, no one could give him a clear answer.

Other ministers of Zhao also came one after another. Looking at the big pit in front of him, listening to Xu Li and Pang Nuan's words, their faces were very heavy.

Could it be that Wu Xinjun, who has been in power for more than ten years, was really murdered under such a strange situation?

At this moment, a soldier from the Imperial Guard suddenly arrived and surrounded all the ministers of Zhao who were present.

Xu Li realized something was wrong, and immediately turned his head and said sternly: "What's going on?"

What are you guys doing?”

The general who led the soldiers of the Guards bowed to Xu Li and said, "Report to the Grand Sima, the King has an order to let everyone return to the palace to gather immediately."

Xu Li's face changed again and again. Suddenly he thought of something and said loudly: "Why is the king's reaction so fast?

Could it be that there is another hidden truth in this?”

After hearing Xu Li's question, the faces of many ministers present at Zhao State changed completely.

No one is a fool. Zhao Kuo suddenly died at this time. Who is the biggest beneficiary?

It is King Zhao.

Considering that Zhao Kuo and King Zhao had frequent conflicts in the past period, and the only person on the territory of the palace who could truly have the power to murder Zhao Kuo was obviously King Zhao.

Thinking of this, a conspiracy suddenly enveloped the hearts of everyone present.

Could it be that this so-called celebration banquet is actually the beginning of conspiracy and killing?

The General of the Imperial Guard did not answer Xu Li's question, but said calmly: "Sir, the king is still waiting for you in the palace. Don't let the king wait too long, otherwise the king will be very unhappy."

The general of the Imperial Guard waved his hand, and the thousands of Imperial Guards on the field immediately showed off their weapons, and the meaning inside was self-evident.

After seeing this scene, the uneasiness in the hearts of many people present was immediately verified. However, at this time the situation was stronger than the people, and they could no longer question them. They could only turn the carriages in accordance with the orders of the Imperial Guards and continue to return to the main palace of the palace.

There were many palace eunuchs in the main hall packing their cups. When they saw many ministers returning one after another, they also had a look of surprise on their faces.

The general of the Imperial Guard was not polite, and directly drove away all the palace eunuchs, leaving behind a mess without caring about it.

Many ministers of Zhao State sat in the mess of this place, their hearts filled with uneasiness and uneasiness.

Not only that, these ministers of Zhao State also soon discovered that the ministers of Zhao State who had left the palace city had also returned one after another. After asking, they all said that they were caught up by the Imperial Guards and forced to return.

This immediately aggravated the haze in everyone's hearts. When things developed to this point, no matter from any aspect, there was a sound of footsteps and King Zhao walked in.

Following King Zhao, there are Li Mu and the Zhou brothers.

King Zhao was in a very good spirit and did not look sad.

He looked at all the ministers of Zhao in front of him calmly, and then his eyes fell on Xu Li and Pang Nuan.

"Xu Li, Pang Nuan and the others have always been disrespectful, and they only have Zhao Kuo in their hearts, so they can be taken down by me!"

After King Zhao finished speaking, soldiers from the Imperial Guard rushed forward and controlled Xu Li and Pang Nuan.

This scene immediately shocked everyone again.

Xu Li shouted: "What does the king mean?"

King Zhao looked at Xu Li who was struggling constantly, and a feeling of pleasure unconsciously surged in his heart.

For many years, Xu Li knew that he was Zhao Kuo's puppet, but he had no way to do it.

Finally, today has arrived! King Zhao said calmly: "What else can it mean?

Today is the time for me to clean up the portal!”

The meaning of this sentence is obvious.

Xu Li looked at King Zhao in disbelief and suddenly shouted: "You killed Wu Xinjun!"

King Zhao's cheek muscles tugged slightly, and then turned into an extremely bright smile.

"That's right, Zhao Kuo, the traitor, was the one who ordered General Li Mu and the eunuch to kill him together!"

King Zhao's words exploded like a nuclear bomb, causing a burst of exclamation in the hall.

Although everyone had already guessed it before, when they really got this fact from King Zhao, they were still a little shocked.

King Zhao's face was ferocious and said coldly: "How many years have passed, when did this guy Zhao Kuo treat me as a real king?

He just wanted to undermine the idiot and seize the supreme power of Zhao State.

My father has been wary of him for a long time. Do you really think I will not learn from my father’s experience and lessons?

Getting rid of Zhao Kuo today is the beginning of my life that makes Zhao State correct the situation! Come on, take all the Zhao Kuo rebellious parties on this list for me!"

As he said that, King Zhao took out a list and handed it to the General of the Imperial Guard.

The general of the Imperial Guard did not talk nonsense, and took down all the ministers of Zhao Kuo's faction on the list.

Although these ministers wanted to resist, in front of the fully armed guards, no matter how hard the unarmed ministers resisted, they were futile and were soon taken down.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Shaoliang, who had just returned, also had an excited expression on his face, and he couldn't help but say to King Zhao: "Master, why not kill these Zhao Kuo's rebels directly to serve as a warning to you!"

For Zhou Shaoliang, he wished that all the people related to Zhao Kuo died suddenly today! When Zhou Shaoliang said this, Li Mu and the expressions of Zheng Zuling changed at the same time.

The eunuch ordered a hurry to say, "No! The situation has not stabilized yet, so we should wait until the overall situation is settled before we can make the trial. Only in this way can the king's actions appear to be upright and make local officials less suspicious and suspicious."

King Zhao nodded slightly and agreed with the eunuch's statement: "Take all of these Zhao Kuo's rebels into prison and be detained. After I handle the matter, I will come and argue with them!"

This time the scale of the "Zhao Kuo Rebel Party" list is quite amazing. There are 513 people on the list. If they are killed at once, the hall will be instantly flooded with blood.

King Zhao doesn't like other people's blood to dirty his hall.

Amid the shouts and begging for mercy, all the ministers of Zhao Kuo's sect were taken away, and about half of them were left behind.

In fact, when King Zhao first saw this number, it was a bit shocking.

Among the thousands of officials, 500 were from the Zhao Kuo faction, and two or three hundred were considered to be inclined to the Zhao Kuo faction. Only those in their early 200 were from the Zhou brothers and Li Mu's side.

If Zhao Kuo really continues to develop for a few more years, all of these thousand people will probably become Zhao Kuo's followers! Fortunately, everything is over now.

Zhao Kuo is dead, and the liquidation of Zhao Kuo can begin now.

With this happy mood, King Zhao said lightly to the ministers who stayed there: "I have investigated you, and are all loyal to me."

From now on, you must do your best to do things for me, otherwise the fate will be the same as those of Zhao Kuo’s followers. Do you understand?”

This is already the situation, and the remaining ministers of Zhao are still unclear about the situation?

Of course, they all responded to it, and they all expressed that they would devote their entire lives to the king.

Seeing all the ministers in front of him bowing their heads, King Zhao felt more and more happy and laughed.

"Very good, then you can go to the side hall to rest for a while. After I have packed up all my hands, it's time to use you."

The remaining ministers left the side hall under the "escort" of the Imperial Guards.

In the hall, only King Zhao, the eunuch Ling, Li Mu and the Zhou brothers were left.

King Zhao thought about it, took out a military talisman and put it in Zhou Shaofen's hand: "I will give you three thousand imperial guards, and you will immediately lead these three thousand imperial guards to surround Zhao Kuo's Wu Xinjun's mansion. Remember, don't leave any one!"

When King Zhao spoke, his face was shining with obvious murderous intent.

Others may be able to let go, but Zhao Kuo's family will never let go.

After the order of King Zhao, Zhou Shaofen was also happy because it showed that King Zhao attached importance to him.

Zhou Shaofen hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, the two ministers and brothers will definitely complete the task!"

The Zhou brothers took the token from King Zhao's hand and left quickly.

Then, King Zhao looked at Li Mu again and said in a deep voice: "Your army has not been disbanded yet and is stationed outside the city, right?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's true, king."

After all, Li Mu's army just returned to Handan City today. According to convention, these 100,000 soldiers should start distributing spoils after the triumphal celebration banquet. After three days, all spoils will be distributed and then they will be officially disbanded.

King Zhao smiled and said, "Then, I will hand over the ten thousand Chiyou troops outside the city to you.

You can conquer them or destroy them, as long as they can make them have no relationship with Zhao Kuo anymore, do you understand?"

After all, Li Mu was a leader of Chiyou's army, so King Zhao naturally had high hopes for Li Mu in this regard.

Although the Chiyou army was a private army trained by Zhao Kuo, the combat effectiveness of this army was extremely strong, so the King of Zhao of course also hoped to take Chiyou army for his own use.
