Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The housekeeper looked Guo Kai up and down, as if he wanted to check whether Guo Kai was lying.

Guo Kai stretched out his hand quietly, and a small bag fell into the butler's hand in an instant.

The housekeeper weighed the bag with a satisfied look on his face, turned around and threw a word to Guo Kai: "Follow me."

Guo Kai seemed to be pardoned, and immediately followed the butler's footsteps.

In the decoration of this mansion, there is a bit of elegance and indifference. Although it does not look like the top-level luxury and extravagance, it is full of atmosphere.

Guo Kai followed the housekeeper in front of him through several floors of courtyards, and then stopped in front of a study.

"You wait here." The steward gave an order to Guo Kai, and then walked into the study.

Soon, the butler came out of the study and said to Guo Kai: "You can go in now."

Guo Kai nodded to the housekeeper with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the study in front of him.

After walking into the study, Guo Kai didn't dare to neglect, he respectfully saluted the person sitting in the study.

"Chen Guokai has seen the emperor."

The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat raised his head slowly. This person was none other than Zhao Bao, one of the seven important ministers of Zhao State, Lord Pingyang.

When Guo Kai walked in, Zhao Bao was reading a paper book in his hand. Guo Kai glanced at the cover and found that it should be a Taoist book.

Recently, the use of paper has become a status symbol, and only a few people can own paper books like this.

Zhao Bao glanced at Guo Kai, and said to Guo Kai very calmly: "You came here suddenly, what do you want to say?"

Guo Kai looked left and right, put on a cautious expression, and said softly to Zhao Bao in front of him: "There are some things to report to your majesty, I have found that there seems to be a monitoring guard who is secretly monitoring the minister and the minister. Subordinates."

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, with an expression of surprise on his face: "There is such a thing? Doesn't Mao Sui know the relationship between you and me? Who gave him the courage?"

Guo Kai hesitated for a long time, and then he said expectantly: "Your Majesty, I think the reason why Mao Sui dared to monitor me is probably because of the king's instruction."

"Your Majesty?" When Zhao Bao heard this, the expression on his face immediately became dignified. He first glared at Guo Kai, and then asked Guo Kai, "Did you do something quietly and didn't wipe it clean?" The hands and feet were discovered by the king?"

Guo Kai immediately yelled at Zhao Bao: "I also ask you to learn from me, what I do is all based on the orders of the emperor, how dare I act rashly when it comes to breaking the law? From my point of view Well, the reason why the king wants to deal with the minister is probably because the king wants to take all the business of the iron tool into the state."

"Is it state-owned?" Zhao Bao thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head, and said to Guo Kai: "This is absolutely impossible. Although the king has a lot of authority, he will definitely ask for our opinions on every major event. Since Your Majesty has never said at the meeting that the business of ironware will be nationalized, then Your Majesty will definitely not push this matter secretly."

Guo Kai spread his hands, put on a helpless expression, and said to Zhao Bao in front of him: "I dare to swear with my life, the one who monitors the minister must be the one who monitors the guard."

Zhao Bao took a deep look at Guo Kai, and suddenly sneered: "You actually secretly bribed the monitoring guards? You are so courageous!"

Guo Kai's expression turned ashen from Zhao Bao's questioning, and it took a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I did secretly bribe you in advance because I was worried that the supervisory guards would attack me and the Guo family all of a sudden. A small official among the supervisors."

Zhang Bao's face turned cold: "Since you came here specifically to ask to see me, I'm afraid it's not just a few petty officials who bribed you."

Guo Kai's body trembled, and finally he couldn't help but knelt down on the ground with a thump, and kowtowed fiercely to Zhao Bao in front of him, and said while kowtowing: "Mr. They are just officials. Besides this incident, Guo Kai has never used these small officials to seek any benefits for the ministers and the Guo family, please learn from me."

Zhao Bao didn't continue talking, but stared at Guo Kai directly with stern eyes, Guo Kai was terrified, and the sweat from his back completely wet his clothes.

After a long while, Zhao Bao said slowly: "Okay, I already know about this matter, you step back."

Guo Kai raised his head as if he was amnesty, and planned to say something more, but after meeting Zhao Bao's icy cold gaze, his whole body trembled again, and he immediately lowered his head submissively: "Here."

After a while, the official appeared in the study, and said to Zhao Bao who was still reading calmly: "My lord, Guo Kai has already left the mansion."

Zhao Bao nodded slowly, and said to the steward in front of him, "Let's go get the horses and chariots ready, I'm going to Pingyuan Lord's Mansion."

Half an hour later, Zhao Bao saw the current Zhao Guo Xiangbang and his older brother Zhao Sheng in the hall of Mr. Pingyuan's mansion.

Zhao Sheng was obviously a little surprised by Zhao Bao's arrival. After waving back left and right, Zhao Bao said to Zhao Bao: "Mr. Pingyang's sudden arrival this time, could it be that something happened?"

Zhao Bao shook his head, showing a helpless look on his face for the first time, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, Guo Kai's dog has already been watched by the surveillance guards."

"What?" This sentence made Zhao Sheng have a very surprised expression on his face, and he said after a while: "Then Guo Kai is just selling some ironware. I remember that there seems to be no taboo, why? Will it be watched by the surveillance guards?"

Zhao Bao hesitated for a while, and then said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, I think this is probably a false accusation by someone with a heart. Its purpose is not to target Guo Kai, but to target us."

What a shrewd person Zhao Sheng is, after hearing Zhao Bao's words, he immediately showed a clear expression on his face: "If this is the case, then it must not be ordinary people who can initiate such actions. Could it be Yu Xin?"

Zhao Bao nodded slowly, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, both of you and I know very well that Yu Xin has long coveted your position as Xiangbang, since the king has not lost his right now. Because of your trust and favor, it is entirely possible for Yu Xin to take risks and use the power of the supervisor to falsely accuse you."

After hearing these words, Zhao Sheng's face immediately became serious, and he couldn't help but get a little angry when he spoke: "This Yu Xin is simply crazy, and he already wants to use such a despicable means to kill him." To deal with me? He doesn't even think about it, such a method is impossible to succeed!"

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said to Zhao Bao again: "Mr. Pingyang, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. You said, could it be Guo Kai, that dog who did something illegal, so that he will be supervised?" Is Wei watching? I'm always a little worried about this dog."

Zhao Bao shook his head resolutely, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Don't worry, Mr. Pingyuan, this Guo Kai has been working for me for almost 20 years. Although he is said to be a little grumpy, he has been conscientious for the past 20 years. , never did anything out of the ordinary."

Zhao Sheng nodded, and said: "If it is really Yu Xin who wants to catch you and me through the supervisory guard, it is really not easy to deal with. The supervisory guard is the power of the king, it is impossible Because of this matter, let's attack the guards?"

Zhao Bao nodded, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, it is precisely because I have such worries that I came to you."

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

After a while, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but said: "Since that's the case, why don't I go into the palace and ask the king to take it back."

"Inappropriate." Zhao Bao shook his head and said, "If you have to plead with the king for such a trivial matter, will the king think that you and I are too useless?"

After hearing Zhao Bao's words, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and said to Zhao Bao: "In this case, then I wonder what Jun Pingyang's opinion is?"

Zhao Bao really had an idea.

I saw Zhao Bao said to Zhao Sheng: "Since the surveillance guards are secretly investigating, they must be shameless. Si Kou's subordinates have a public security department. If I ask the public security department to arrest several people in the name of affecting public security When the surveillance guards capture and interrogate Si Kou in the prison, the purpose of warning Yu Xin can be achieved, and at the same time, it can also show the king that we are innocent."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "Alright, let's do it this way. But you have to pay attention, after all, the inspector guard is the confidant of the king, if you completely offend the inspector guard because of this, the loss outweighs the gain. gone."

Zhao Bao nodded and stood up: "I'll take care of it myself."

After a while, Zhao Bao's carriage slowly drove out of Mr. Pingyuan's mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Zhao Bao immediately called a few of his confidantes: "You make arrangements, find some capable people to check whether there are people who have been quietly following Guo Kai and monitoring the Guo family these days. , if there are any, then take these guys down directly!"

Several subordinates bowed to accept the promise, and another said to Zhao Bao: "Your Majesty, if someone resists, how should we deal with it?"

Zhao Bao snorted softly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "If there is anyone who dares to resist, then of course they will be shot to death!"

For Zhao Bao, the establishment of the supervisory committee was originally used to divide the rights of Zhao Bao's commander, so Zhao Bao didn't have a good impression of the supervisory guard at all.

Therefore, Zhao Bao would definitely not engage in Zhao Sheng's relatively peaceful confrontation.

"Miao Xian, Mao Sui, Yu Xin, let you know that I, Zhao Bao, are not so easy to provoke! Want to reach out to me? Then I will chop off your claws!"
