Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Sheng's words sounded like flattery.

But the other ministers in the hall actually felt that what Zhao Sheng said was very reasonable.

Pang Nuan and Ju Xin were indeed promoted by Zhao Dan and sent to the north to resist the Yan army.

Before being promoted by Zhao Dan, Pang Nuan was just a hermit, and Ju Xin was just a downcast minister of the Yan Kingdom.

But these two old guys who seem to have a bleak future and even their life may soon come to an end, were promoted to be the main and deputy generals of the north of Zhao under Zhao Dan's trust, bringing Zhao an incredible victory .

This is not knowing people with eyes, so what is knowing people with eyes?

Unknowingly, the respect for Zhao Dan in the hearts of the ministers of Zhao State quietly increased a lot.

Every courtier hopes to meet a king who knows how to employ people, and Zhao Dan's current performance is exactly the performance of an excellent king.

So naturally there was less routine and more sincerity in the following tide of flattery.

Zhao Bao: "The Zhao State has a great king like a wise king, and it is just around the corner to dominate the world!"

Yu Xin: "Having a great king in the state of Zhao is indeed the blessing of the state of Zhao and the blessing of all the people!"

Even Lian Po also praised: "I didn't think so that the king used such a Pang Nuanju Xin type, and thought that the king's move was a bit reckless. But now it seems that the king will use people!"

Zhao Dan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard this, it's because you, General Lian Po, praise people, and the feeling of complimenting people is almost the same as cursing

But in any case, this victory is very timely for Zhao Guo today, and it also dissipated Zhao Dan's previous hesitation about whether Yan Guo should fight or make peace.

Zhao Dan glanced around at the people present, and said: "Masters, I have made a decision, I will send envoys to Yan, order the king of Yan to hand over Fu Bao and other traitors and evacuate all Zhao's land, as a truce condition If the king of Yan refuses, I will send troops to attack the country of Yan in the next spring!"

After Zhao Dan said these words, all the ministers of Zhao Guo in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them objected.

After all, the reason why everyone sent troops at the beginning was mainly to beat the Yan people back.

It is not impossible to enter the country of Yan, but if you go to fight in the country of Yan, the most bitter and cold northern country in China, in this midwinter season, then forget it.

Now that a victory has been achieved, peace negotiation is an acceptable option.

When the winner negotiates a peace, it is always easy to achieve a more favorable result through the negotiating table.

Zhao Dan saw that no one had any objections, so he said: "In that case, let's continue to discuss other matters. Since Lin Qing passed away, the post of internal historian has been vacant for a long time, and I want to choose a talented person to be the internal historian. Who is your choice?"

Several Zhao Guozhong ministers were all refreshed when they heard this, and they all straightened up.

The real big event finally came.

Chapter 184: Battle for Internal History (Second Update)

Internal history, the central official system, was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty, also known as the internal history of the book.

The official internal historian system of the Western Zhou Dynasty inherited the Xia and Shang dynasties. Its main tasks were to be in charge of laws and regulations, drafting books, assisting the monarch in ordering princes and officials, and being responsible for the abolition of jubilees and salaries.

Zhou Lichun official: "The internal history of the king's eight methods is to govern the king. The first is called Jue; the second is called Lu; the third is called abolition; the fourth is set up; ,; Eighth, seizing. The second part of enforcing state laws and state orders is to examine political affairs and reverse accounting. To master the method of narrative, to accept interviews, and to order the king to listen to governance. Whoever orders the princes and lonely officials, orders them. The internal history reads all the books about the affairs of the four directions. Wang Zhilu praises it, and rewards are the same when he publishes it.

Juelu is abolished, and life is taken away by killing.These eight characters are enough to prove the high position and weight of internal history.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the responsibility of internal history was mainly to draft and issue edicts. The Zhongshu Province, which was originally named the Ministry of Internal History, evolved from the official position of internal history and its subordinate departments.

In the State of Zhao, internal history is second only to the position of Prime Minister Zhao Sheng and Si Kou Zhao Bao, and belongs to the third among the six ministers of the State of Zhao.

Such a position definitely belongs to Xiangmomo, whether it is from the Gongzu faction or the commoner faction, it is impossible to give up.

So as soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao looked at each other, and then Zhao Sheng said: "My lord, Yushi Louchang has been loyal to the king for many years, and he has done a lot for Zhao Guo, so In my opinion, Lou Chang is the best candidate for the position of Internal History."

Since both Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao have held positions of higher authority than Nei Shi, of course the position of Nei Shi can only be handed over to the last of the Gong Clan faction at this moment, among the six giants of the Zhao Kingdom. Lou Chang was at the bottom of the list.

But as the opponent of the Gongzu faction, it is impossible for the commoner faction to give up the position of internal history so easily.

Therefore, just after Zhao Sheng's voice fell, Lian Po also opened his mouth not to be outdone.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Lieutenant Yu Xin is exceptionally talented, and he once made an alliance with Zhao Chu when he was sent to Chu State. He is indeed the best candidate to take over the post of Internal History."

As the leader of the military, it is impossible for General Lian Po to compete for the position of internal history, so Yu Xin is obviously the only candidate for the civilian faction.

Now Yu Xin's official position is a lieutenant, and his ranking is only higher than that of Lou Chang, and he is the second last among the six ministers.

Therefore, if Yu Xin can further become an internal history, it will naturally be very good for the commoner school.

Besides, the position of internal history was previously owned by Lin Xiangru, the leader of the civilian faction. If Yu Xin can snatch this position from the public faction, it will be a great encouragement to his side.

If the two factions were able to maintain unity during the foreign war just now, then when it came time to compete for official positions, the atmosphere between the two parties began to become increasingly heated.

I saw Si Kou Zhao Bao snorted unhurriedly, and said: "Since last year, a total of 120 people under the lieutenant's command have been imprisoned, of which 27 were blackmailed, 30 were raped, 15 were murdered, and [-] people were jailed. He was killed by the palace, seven people were killed, and the rest were killed, is this the lieutenant's achievement?"

Xiayu means to go to prison.

What Zhao Bao said just now was the number of people who were arrested and sentenced to various punishments in the entire lieutenant organization in the past year. Obviously, he was using this to satirize Yu Xin, a lieutenant who is not strict with his command, and of course he is not capable enough to be promoted.

Yu Xin couldn't sit still when he heard this, and also sneered, saying: "Master Si Kou's words are wrong, I have heard that Si Kou always asks criminals, often commits serious crimes regardless of the reason, and even implicates innocent people. Moreover, for the rebellion of Wuhuan and Lingshou City Commanders, Si Kou's subordinates also failed to perform their duty of picketing, so I don't know how Si Kou can explain it?"

You come and I go back and forth to expose each other's shortcomings. This time the war of words is much more intense than before. Everything you say is to try to speak to each other's pain points, and try to make the other party worthless. , so as not to let the other party step on the person on his side.

Zhao Dan looked at the frothy ministers in front of him and couldn't help but shook his head.

Although this has been expected in advance, when this scene appeared in front of Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan still couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Sure enough, when it's time for promotion, it's time to fight to the death

However, Zhao Dan is not too disgusted with the dispute between the two factions in front of him. After all, it is very normal for an official to want to be promoted. If he does not want to be promoted, that is a big problem

However, arguing is not an option, so Zhao Dan looked at the time and felt that it was almost time for him to make a decision.

Zhao Dan coughed and said, "From my point of view, Lieutenant Yu Xin made great contributions to our country of Zhao in the Battle of Changping. Therefore, Yu Xin should take up the post of internal history."

Zhao Dan's final choice was to let Yu Xin replace Lin Xiangru as the vacant internal history position.

The reason why this decision was made, apart from Zhao Dan's dislike for Lou Chang, the most important reason was that after Lin Xiangru's death, there were only two people left in the civilian faction, which belonged to the weak side.

If the commoner faction is allowed to be suppressed by the public faction in this competition for internal history, then the advantages of the public faction will begin to become obvious, and it will be a bit difficult for Zhao Dan as a monarch to check and balance.

As soon as Zhao Dan said this, Yu Xin and Lian Po were immediately overjoyed, and Yu Xin immediately came out and bowed to Zhao Dan: "I thank the king for his appreciation, and I will die for the king!"

On the other side, the faces of the three ministers of the Gongzu faction were somewhat ugly.

But ugly is ugly, Yu Xin did contribute to the mission of Chu State in the Battle of Changping, while Lou Chang basically did not make any contribution.

So don't look at what the two brothers Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao called when they were begging for an official position for Lou Chang just now, but in fact the confidence of the Gongzu faction is not enough.

Of course, if Zhao Dan can support Lou Chang, then the Gongzu faction can still take advantage of the situation to suppress the civilian faction with fewer numbers.
