Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Long legs, small waist, wavy chest and hips, how can I forget?

So the question came, this Zhao Ji, should she accept it or not?

From a man's point of view, with such a beautiful woman in front of him, of course he has to accept it.After all, in this era, except for the main wife, all other concubines are not even considered "human beings", they are just playthings.There is really no psychological burden if you say give it away and give it away.

Besides, I, Zhao Dan, am a great king anyway, what's wrong with opening a harem?What is the 72nd concubine of Sangong Sixth Courtyard? If you want to have it, who can stop me?

But from the perspective of a traveler, this is Qin Shihuang's mother. Well, although Zhao Ji hasn't given birth yet, and it should be impossible to give birth to Qin Shihuang in this life, Zhao Dan still feels a little weird. a subtle sense of dissonance

Zhao Dan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Queen Zhao who was standing next to Zhao Dan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think this girl is quite beautiful, but she is also a good candidate to serve the Majesty, so why don't you let her be in the palace."

In any case, the harem of the State of Zhao is also the territory of the queen. The queen is the leader of Zhao Dan, a group of wives, big and small, and the master of the harem. She still has a say in matters related to women.

So when the queen said this, Zhao Dan was immediately shaken.

In fact, it is also beneficial to put this Zhao Ji in the Zhao Palace, that is, no matter whether it is Zhao Yiren or Lu Buwei, it is impossible for them to get in touch with Zhao Ji again, so don't care who Qin Shihuang's real father is, anyway, [-]% will not be killed. born.

Seems like a pretty good way to kill a future enemy without breaking a sweat.

And after all, Lu Buwei is also Zhao Dan's more important minister or pawn. If you want to appease Lu Buwei's heart, accepting this Zhao Ji is of course the best choice.

Under various considerations, it seems that there is no suspense in accepting Zhao Ji.

But if you accept it, you must not give it the status of a wife, that is, a concubine. Otherwise, with Zhao Ji's historical reputation, she might make something wrong.

So Zhao Dan said: "Since the queen has spoken, the widow will accept this woman, and let this woman serve the queen by her side."

When Zhao Dan spoke, the others had no objection, especially Lu Buwei was greatly relieved.

Now that everything was settled, the queen took Zhao Ji and left.From today onwards, there will be one less beautiful singer in Handan City, and one more young court lady beside Queen Zhao.

After solving Zhao Ji's matter, Zhao Dan comforted Lu Buwei a few more words, and then learned the ins and outs of the matter from Lu Buwei by the way.

The truth of the matter is actually very simple, that is, Zhao Yiren did find Lu Buwei, and indeed asked Lu Buwei to give Zhao Ji to him.

This made Lu Buwei very embarrassed. After all, Zhao Dan had his life first, so it was absolutely impossible to send Zhao Ji to Zhao Yiren. After sending it tonight, Lu Buwei might lose his head tomorrow.

But it's not okay to offend Zhao Yiren, after all, Lu Buwei's plan is still counting on Zhao Yiren to carry out.

It can only be said that Lu Buwei deserves to be Lu Buwei after all, and he immediately came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds.

So Lu Buwei said to Zhao Yiren: "Gongsun doesn't know something, I want to dedicate this girl to the King of Zhao. If the King of Zhao gets this girl, he will love her and listen to her. If you get the help of the State of Zhao, you and I will surely accomplish great things. "

When Zhao Yiren heard this, he also felt that it made sense.After all, for Zhao Yiren, Qin's throne is the most important thing. A beautiful singer like Zhao Ji won't grab a lot when she ascends to the Qin throne?

So although he was reluctant, Zhao Yiren finally agreed with Lu Buwei's approach.

Then Lu Buwei sent this Zhao Ji to the Zhao Palace.

Zhao Dan couldn't help rolling his eyes after listening to it, thinking that Lu Buwei is really a chicken thief, and he used this method to solve the problem.

But since the problem was solved, and overall the result was not bad, Zhao Dan didn't blame Lu Buwei, but encouraged the other party a few words, and by the way gave some rewards and sent Lu Buwei away.

Although Zhao Dan knew that Lu Buwei was a man of great talent, Zhao Dan didn't plan to spend too much time on Lu Buwei, at least not now, since he couldn't confirm that Lu Buwei had completely fallen for him.

Only after Lu Buwei was able to realize the grand plan that he said in front of Zhao Dan and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao that day, and proved his value and loyalty to Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan would consider using Lu Buwei to a more important position.

After sending Lu Buwei away, Zhao Dan left the eunuch Ling Miao Xian behind.

"Miao Qing, the widow has a heavy responsibility to entrust to Qing, can Miao Qing share the worries of the widow?"

Miao Xian hardly hesitated: "It's my honor to share the worries of the king!"

Looking at the white-haired Eunuch Ling in front of him, Zhao Dan felt a little emotional.

A loyal veteran like Miao Xian who has served two generations of kings of Zhao State for decades is a trustworthy person.

So Zhao Dan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.

"Miao Qing, I have heard that there are many strange and righteous people in your family, but is there someone who is thoughtful and well-informed?"

In this era, big shots like to keep followers, so-called "fosters", and scholars also like to join big shots to find a way out for themselves.Don't look at Miao Xian as just an eunuch ordering the chief executive, but Miao Xian has won the trust of two generations of Zhao Wang, so there are many scholars who defected to Miao Xian's mansion as followers.

Among the diners at Miao Xian's mansion, the most famous one is Lin Xiangru, Shangqing of the State of Zhao. The story of "returning Bi to Zhao" when Bi was sent as an envoy to the State of Qin.

After that, more and more scholars came to join Miao Xian. After all, with Lin Xiangru in front of him, who wouldn't want to be the second Lin Xiangru?

So now Miao Xian's house is full of talents, there are all kinds of people.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Dan's question, Miao Xian replied respectfully: "Go back to Your Majesty, there are indeed a few clever people in the court."

"Very good." Zhao Dan nodded in satisfaction, and said to Miao Xian, "I want to set up two new organizations, one of which is called Supervising Guards, whose duty is to secretly monitor the world's officials and investigate the sufferings of the people. The second name is Hu Yiwei, and their duties are to lurk in the enemy's country, know the important affairs of the enemy's country, and separate the enemy's monarchs and ministers. It is up to you to take charge of the establishment of the monitoring guard and Hu Yiwei."

"Supervisor guard, Hu Yiwei?" Miao Xian was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right." Zhao Dan nodded very seriously: "This matter is of great importance, Miao Qing must handle it personally, and don't take it lightly!"

The so-called monitoring guards are actually internal secret service organizations similar to the Dongchang Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. They are mainly responsible for secretly monitoring military officials and observing public opinion in various places, serving as Zhao Dan's eyes and ears.

The other organization, Hu Yiwei, is Zhao Guo's foreign spy organization. This Hu Yiwei is responsible for the external aspects. The future development template is mainly in line with the major spy organizations of later generations, such as the CIA of the US Emperor, Maozi's KGB, and Israel's Mossad.

Yes, after traveling through so many days, Zhao Dan is finally going to establish his own spy organization in this land of the Warring States Period.

Chapter 33 Watchmen

The topic that Zhao Dan raised suddenly made Miao Xian a little stunned, and it took several seconds for him to react.

After reacting, the first thing this loyal eunuch Ling thought of was opposition.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to monitor the guards!" Miao Xian's old face flushed slightly with anxiety, and said to Zhao Dan: "How can we forget about the riots of the people of the country? Your Majesty must never do the things of the Li Wang! "

"Chinese riots?" Zhao Dan was also taken aback for a moment, and then quickly remembered what Miao Xian was talking about.

The Chinese riots happened when the Zhou Dynasty had not moved from Haojing to Luoyi, that is, what happened in the "Western Zhou Dynasty" in the history books.

At that time, due to the development of society, problems began to appear in the land ownership and well field system established during the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. According to a sentence in a high school political textbook, "the production relationship can no longer meet the needs of the increasing productivity."

With the increase of the population in the Zhou Dynasty, the fields distributed by the well field system could no longer support the farmers, so the farmers secretly reclaimed a large number of private fields in addition to the public fields allocated by the government.

Later, due to the increasing population, they could no longer even cultivate private fields to support themselves, so people in the Zhou Dynasty had to go fishing in the mountains, forests and lakes to obtain more food sources.

However, the central government of the Zhou Dynasty relied on public land for its income. Whether it was reclamation of private land or fishing, this did not increase the central government's fiscal revenue by a dime. On the contrary, it also destroyed the original land. Well field system.

When the well field system was destroyed, the tax revenue of the central government of the Zhou Dynasty also dropped greatly, that is, there was no money.But how to maintain the operation of government agencies without money?Therefore, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty naturally appeared in crisis.

Under such circumstances, the then monarch Zhou Liwang decided to carry out reforms.King Zhou Li used an aristocrat named Rong Yigong as a minister, which is equivalent to the official position of Taishi and Xiangguo, and asked Rong Yigong to preside over the reform.
