Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The truth is always getting clearer and clearer.

If, as in some dynasties in history, the Confucian scholar-bureaucrats dominated the family, causing other social classes to be oppressed so that they could not make their own voices and obtain the rights they deserved, then this dynasty is destined to be unable to maintain long-term stability.

In the final analysis, Zhao Dan doesn't value the factions such as the public family or the commoner. As long as you support the widows and Zhao Guo, then you are the Zhao Guo faction, and the widows will use you.If you are only looking for your own profit and not for the sake of the widow and the country of Zhao, then you should stop messing around in the country of Zhao.

So Wei Wuji's arrival is also an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhao Dan to observe who is for the Zhao country, who is for his own faction, and who is only thinking about the official position under his ass.

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, the faces of all the ministers of Zhao State who were present all changed in unison.

The first one to speak was none other than Zhao Sheng.

"Your Majesty, if Lord Xinling is willing to enter Zhao as an official, Sheng is willing to give up the position of Xiangbang."

It's not a day or two since Zhao Sheng had this idea.

As one of the four gentlemen who are as famous as Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, and at the same time occupy such a high position as Zhao Guoxiangbang, Zhao Sheng's news is undoubtedly very well-informed.

When the news of Wei Wuji's going north came, the conversation between himself and Hou Ying in Daliang City not long ago appeared in Zhao Sheng's mind immediately.

"If my lord goes to Zhao, where does Mr. Pingyuan think my lord should be? Can you be worthy of Zhao Xiang?"

"If Wuji wishes to go to Handan, Sheng will resign his position to the king and let Wuji be worthy!"

"Since that's the case, my lord will ask Pingyuan lord in the future!"

Although many days had passed, and although Hou Ying who said these words had already died in Daliang City, when Zhao Sheng remembered these words, Hou Ying's voice still seemed to be echoing in Zhao Sheng's ears.

Although Zhao Sheng has many shortcomings, there is one thing that Mr. Pingyuan has always insisted on, that is, keep what you say.

Since it is a promise, then Zhao Sheng will definitely fulfill the promise.

Zhao Sheng originally planned to wait until Wei Wuji arrived in Handan before mentioning the matter to Zhao Dan, but Zhao Dan said it first today, so Zhao Sheng followed suit.

As soon as Zhao Sheng said this, everyone else was shocked, even Zhao Dan was no exception.

After all, the conversation between Zhao Sheng and Hou Ying was only the two of them present at the time, and no one else was present, so of course it was unknown.

The hall fell into silence for a while, and everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces, digesting the bomb that Zhao Sheng suddenly threw.

This bomb can be said to have ignited Zhao Sheng's allies, political opponents and even the monarch at once. After all, no one would have thought that Zhao Sheng would directly abdicate, and it seemed that he was not joking at all.

After a while, Zhao Dan broke the silence with a cough, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly, "I don't know what you think, Mr. Pingyuan?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Si Kou Zhao Bao took the lead to stand up: "My lord, I think that although Lord Xinling is famous for his virtuousness, Lord Pingyuan is also a great talent, and he has been loyal to the king for many years. It seems inappropriate for Lord Pingyuan to make Lord Xinling your prime minister."

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Bao, and was not too surprised by Zhao Bao's opposition.

After all, Zhao Sheng is the leader of the Gongzu faction, even if Zhao Sheng himself is willing to let the virtuous, the rest of the Gongzu faction will not agree to the phase falling from the hands of the Gongzu faction to an outsider like Wei Wuji.

Sure enough, after Zhao Bao, Lou Chang also spoke immediately: "I think what Lord Pingyang said is reasonable."

Zhao Dan shifted his gaze to the other side, and looked at Lian Po and Yu Xin, two important ministers of the Commoner School.

Lian Po and Yu Xin looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and then Lian Po, who was more senior, spoke first: "I think that Lord Xinling is a great talent, and the king should use it more."

Zhao Dan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this.

Could it be that the commoner faction has reached a tacit agreement with Wei Wuji, and intends to fully support Wei Wuji's ascension?If this is the case, then some of Zhao Dan's previous arrangements have to be reconsidered.

Of course, Yu Xin also saw Zhao Dan's eyes, and this Zhao Guoshangqing immediately understood what Zhao Dan was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Lord Xinling should be reused, otherwise the world will be punished." Yingcai thinks that the king doesn't value scholars, so he is suspected of being overqualified. However, after all, Lord Xinling has just come to Zhao State, so it seems inappropriate for him to be appointed as Prime Minister."

As soon as Yu Xin finished speaking, Lian Po nodded again and again: "Yes, what Yu Qing said is also what I think."

Only then did Zhao Dan understand that the feeling was not that the commoner faction wanted to support Wei Wuji as Xiangbang, but just wanted to win Wei Wuji over.

Since the death of Lin Xiangru, one of the six giants of Zhao State has been lost. Before that, there was no arrangement because of the war. Now that the war is over, it is time to fill the position of the six giants again.

But the problem is that there is no minister in the commoner faction who is qualified and meritorious to enter the Big Six, so Yu Xin and Lian Po obviously hope that by jointly recommending Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji can enter the circle of the Big Six. Then try to let Wei Wuji join the commoner side.

As for supporting Wei Wuji as Prime Minister?This is impossible for Lian Po and Yu Xin.

After all, if you want to be the Prime Minister, the commoner school must be one of Yu Xin or Lian Po.

So it was purely Lian Po's half-spoken words that caused Zhao Dan's misunderstanding. Fortunately, Yu Xin discovered this and rounded up his words.

At this point in the conversation, everyone present has already expressed their attitudes.

Except for Zhao Sheng himself, no one supported Wei Wuji to replace Zhao Sheng as Zhao Guoxiangbang.

It can be said that the commoner faction and the Gongzu faction have reached an astonishing agreement on this matter.

In fact, even Zhao Dan himself did not support this matter, because in Zhao Dan's heart he had other arrangements for Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji's replacement of Zhao Sheng as Zhao Guoxiangbang may indeed improve Zhao Guo to a certain extent, but Zhao Dan feels that if Wei Wuji can be arranged according to his own ideas, it will help Zhao Guo even more.

So Zhao Dan didn't hesitate, and made a decision directly: "Since this is the case, let's discuss the matter of Lord Xinling as Prime Minister in the future."

This matter seems to have come to an end.

Then not so.

When Zhao Sheng heard these words, he became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Sheng has made up his mind, and please allow him. If Your Majesty refuses, then Sheng is willing to resign from the position!"

Chapter 181 Don't look at your head, a widow can handle you with a single sentence (third update)

Yes, this is Zhao Sheng's attitude.

Zhao Guojun and his subjects in the hall were stunned again, obviously not understanding the significance of Zhao Sheng's insistence.

Although Zhao Sheng looked very serious before, most of the people present thought that Zhao Sheng was just pretending.

After all, Wei Wuji was forced to flee to Zhao State because of Zhao Sheng's mission, so Zhao Sheng might feel a little embarrassed and wanted to repay Wei Wuji, so he put on a gesture of resigning from the position.

If that was the case, then when the proposal was rejected, it would be tantamount to giving Zhao Sheng a step up, and Zhao Sheng should go down the slope and stop mentioning the matter.

However, this Zhao Sheng did not follow the routine

Obviously, Zhao Sheng is serious.

I saw Zhao Sheng said to Zhao Dan seriously: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, it's not that Sheng went his own way, but because Sheng had a promise to others when he was in Daliang City. Although Sheng is not incompetent, he must not break his promise."

When Zhao Sheng said these words, he was really resolute and determined, obviously with an attitude of not giving up until he reached his goal.

It's okay if you don't give way to me, anyway, I won't do this Xiangbang anymore, just do what you like.

Although this world is a world of propriety and music, and advocating utilitarianism, no matter how dark the world is, there will always be some light. In this world where dishonesty and unscrupulous means are the main theme, there will always be a few loyalty, Commitment man.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is such a person.
