Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

General Lian Po is not in the ranking because of his status as the commander-in-chief of the military. His actual status is probably almost the same as Si Kou Zhao Bao, only under Xiangbang Zhao Sheng.

After Lin Xiangru's death, even if the person who succeeded Lin Xiangru as the internal historian was determined to be Yu Xin, it seemed that Lou Chang had nothing to do with him.

But don't forget that after Yu Xin was promoted, Yu Xin's original lieutenant position was vacated.

Looking at Zhao Guo, the most qualified to take over the position of Lieutenant Yu Xin is of course Lou Chang who is only below Yu Xin.

Now everyone knows that Yu Xin is Zhao Dan's confidant, and now that Zhao Dan wants to cut Zhao Bao's power, maybe Yu Xin can go one step further in the future and squeeze Zhao Bao to become Sikou.

Then Lou Chang can continue to fill the vacancy left by Yu Xin and rise to become an internal history official.

If Yu Xin can still kill Xiangbang and Zhao Sheng to become the new Xiangbang, then Lou Chang may continue to follow Yu Xin to be promoted to Sikou again.

At that time, Lou Chang will only be one step away from the position of Xiangbang!

Thinking about it, Lou Chang suddenly felt a little excited.

Of course, this is just a dream for now, but it is theoretically possible to realize this dream.

Even if we put aside the too distant talk of Si Kou Xiangbang, just talk about the post of lieutenant left by Yu Xin after he was promoted to internal history, Lou Chang would have to get it no matter what.

To get the post of lieutenant, the attitudes of Zhao Dan, the monarch, and Yu Xin, the former lieutenant, are very important.

Lou Chang came out to express his support for Zhao Dan at this time, and he could sell Zhao Dan and Yu Xin again.

All in all, there are many benefits to supporting the king.

As for Zhao Bao, who was supposed to be an ally of Lou Chang?

For Lou Chang's own immediate benefit and future prospects, if he sells it, he will sell it.

Anyway, I saved Zhao Bao once just now, it's the best of humanity.

Chapter 126 The Real Business

Lou Chang sold his teammates so neatly that no one else in the hall could react except Lou Chang himself.

Zhao Dan also looked at Lou Chang in surprise, apparently caught off guard by Lou Chang's unexpected "surrender".

But that's a good thing.

After Lou Chang expressed his approval, Yu Xin also stood up without hesitation: "The minister also reconsidered."

With Lou Chang and Yu Xin taking the lead, the Zhao Guo ministers in the hall began to voice their approval.

"The minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Zhao Bao looked at everything in front of him with a pale face. In a short period of time, most of the ministers of Zhao State in the entire hall expressed their approval, so this matter is obviously a certainty and cannot be changed.

Zhao Bao hesitated for a while, but still had to sigh, lowered his head, and said to Zhao Dan: "Minister, second."

After Zhao Bao, the victim, had conceded defeat, all the dust had settled.

Zhao Dan nodded, with a smile on his face: "Since that's the case, let's handle it accordingly from today on."

For this decision of reward and punishment, Zhao Dan actually considered it very carefully.

Lou Chang's sudden defection just now led to the rapid approval of the decision, but in fact even without Lou Chang's defection, Zhao Dan is very confident that most of the ministers in this hall will agree.

Because Zhao Dan's meaning is very clear, that is, to give the supervisory guard the power to monitor, arrest and interrogate, but he does not take away the corresponding power of Si Kou.

And not only that, the subordinates of Si Kou still retain the right to judge. After the surveillance guards catch the criminals and interrogate them, they still have to hand them over to the subordinates of Si Kou for trial and interrogation.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Dan is more about supporting the monitoring guards, and is only a small punishment for Si Kou's subordinates. In fact, Si Kou's subordinates have not lost any power, but they have gained a co-owner of some of their original power.

This is definitely something that the other ministers in the hall are happy to see.

Zhao Bao and the Si Kou led by Zhao Bao belonged to too much power and the foundation was too stable.

As the saying goes, if a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it.Over the years, I don't know how many people have envied Zhao Bao and his power in the Sikou family.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, who can be called golden partners, blocked not only the way of Yu Xin and Lou Chang, but also the way of all the ministers of Zhao Guo present!

In the past, this pair of partners held great power, and with the support of the king Zhao Dan, naturally no one could do anything to them.

But it is different now.

From the perspective of the officials of the Zhao Kingdom in the hall today, Zhao Bao must have lost his mind. He dared to fight the king, and was knocked down by the king's neat move.

If you don't take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, when will you wait?

Moreover, being able to show loyalty to the king by the way is simply the best of both worlds.

This country of Zhao is, after all, the king's country of Zhao, not your Zhao Bao's country of Zhao!

It was precisely because of this mentality that, except for the dozen or so Zhao Bao's confidantes in the hall, most of the other ministers of the Zhao Kingdom stood on Zhao Dan's side, forming an absolute advantage.

Zhao Dan, who was sitting on the throne, looked at this situation and felt a little complacent in his heart.

In the time and space before traveling, the great people told us long ago that in political struggles, we should "unite the majority and attack the few".

The current situation is the best performance.

In this way, Zhao Dan not only succeeded in distributing the power of Zhao Bao Sikou, but also gave the supervisory guard a very good start and a legitimate name, and let the guards of the Zhao Kingdom who were guarding the cities on weekdays be present. Seeing the majesty of Zhao Dan, the great king, can be said to serve multiple purposes.

It can be said that this grand court meeting has achieved a phased victory, and Zhao Dan feels that the goal of killing people and establishing prestige that was set earlier has been achieved.

But although two good shows have been staged so far, this grand court meeting is not over yet.

In fact, this has just entered the real climax.

After the ministers returned to their seats, Zhao Dan cleared his throat and slowly revealed the real purpose of summoning the ministers.

"My dear friends, the war in Changping is critical. General Lian Po has sent several urgent letters to the widow. The widow decided to send out the citizens of Handan, Jinyang, Lingshou, and Zhongmou cities. All men over fifteen years old will be conscripted. Chengdan, Chengdan, Ghost salary, son-in-law, criminals, etc. are also listed here, I will personally lead this army to Changping, and fight to the death with Na Baiqi!"

As soon as Zhao Dan said these words, all the Zhao Guo ministers in the entire hall were shocked instantly.

The four cities of Handan, Jinyang, Lingshou, and Zhongmou are the four largest cities in Zhao State today. At the same time, each of these big cities governs a large area of ​​nearby cities and land. Although they do not have the name of a county, they have the reality of a county.

Excluding the five northern counties that Zhao State is currently fighting against Yan State, the population and land under the jurisdiction of these four big cities have accounted for more than 80.00% of Zhao State.

Today's Zhao Dan's order is equivalent to a complete mobilization of the whole people.

In the past, Zhao Guo mainly relied on young and strong to fight, but with Zhao Dan's order, it is not a problem of young and strong.

Even the 15-year-old males who have just grown up in Zhao Guo, and even the white-haired old people, except for children, as long as they are able to move and hold weapons, they all have to go to the battlefield!
