Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Before Zhao Sheng could say anything, Zhao Bao was completely stunned: "Could it be that this is what the king meant? So, in fact, this matter was pushed behind the scenes by the king, and the real goal is actually you and me. people?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became somewhat frozen.

The two brothers Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao looked at each other, and they could see the shock and fear in each other's eyes.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that if Yu Xin and others from the commoner faction wanted to make trouble, it would not be a big problem. After all, they had been fighting for so many years, and they knew what methods they had.

But if the mastermind behind the scenes is the nephew of the monarch, it will be completely different.

Don't look at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao who are now calling the wind and rain in Zhao's political arena, but as long as Zhao Dan speaks, those two will fall from heaven to hell in minutes.

After leading the state of Zhao to defeat powerful enemies one after another and successfully expand the territory, Zhao Dan's prestige has reached a level that the kings of the state of Zhao have never reached before.

Now the ministers of the State of Zhao have completely lost the power to restrain Zhao Dan, let alone Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, even the seven important officials of the State of Zhao can't do it together.

After a long while, Zhao Sheng with an ugly face slowly said: "Impossible. I still know the character of the king. If you really want to take power, you shouldn't use such means. It must be that Guo Kai made a mistake. Mao Sui discovered something and reported it to the king."

Zhao Bao's complexion was even uglier than Zhao Sheng's, and he stood up from the chair all of a sudden, saying: "If that's the case, then I made a big mistake in this matter! No, I'll go in now Go to the palace to plead guilty to the king."

"Wait!" Zhao Sheng stopped Zhao Bao and stood up: "I will go with you."

Zhao Bao froze for a moment, then showed a grateful expression on his face, and said, "Mr. Pingyuan, thank you very much."

Zhao Sheng shook his head and sighed: "You and I are blood brothers, why do you need to talk about this? If I don't go, I will really give that Yu Xin a chance, let's go!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao rushed to the side hall of Longtai and saw Zhao Dan who was still buried in his work.

As soon as he saw Zhao Dan, Zhao Bao immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Your minister is not strict, which led to such thieves as Guo Kai, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Dan raised his head slowly, cast his eyes on Zhao Bao, and said in a very calm tone, "I don't know why Lord Pingyang is guilty?"

As soon as Zhao Bao heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body.

It has been so many years, and Zhao Bao naturally understands the temper of the monarch's nephew.

If one answer is not good, then there is really big trouble.

So Zhao Bao didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said honestly: "The minister returned to the king, but the minister didn't know what Guo Kai did. The minister just thought that the surveillance guard suddenly sent someone to arrest Guo Kai. It is very likely that someone Pushing from behind, wanting to open a gap from Guo Kai to frame the minister, so the minister is talented"

Zhao Dan interrupted Zhao Bao: "So you took hundreds of guards to stop Mao Sui who was acting under the order of the widow? If it wasn't for the widow who sent Xu Li later, would you still want to be on the spot?" Take Mao Sui down, huh? Lord Pingyang, Lord Pingyang, you are really very majestic!"

Zhao Dan was really upset in his heart, if it wasn't for Zhao Bao's intrusion, Mao Sui would probably have been able to take Guo Kai down, and things wouldn't have had so many twists and turns.

Zhao Bao's face was flushed by Zhao Dan's scolding, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng hurriedly excused himself and said, "Your Majesty, this matter of Lord Pingyang is indeed a bit reckless. But what I want to say is that Lord Pingyang's loyalty to the King and Zhao Guo is beyond doubt. Please also look at it, Your Majesty." For the sake of Lord Pingyang's loyalty, let me deal with it lightly."

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, his face was full of a half-smile expression: "Mr. Pingyuan, you should know that the inspector Wei has always been directly responsible to the widow, and the widow's order is the action of the inspector guard, and now someone is blocking the supervisor in public. Isn't it a flagrant disobedience to the order of the widow to perform official duties? Tell me, how should the widow punish such a person?"

For some reason, after Zhao Sheng was glanced at by Zhao Dan's eyes, his whole heart suddenly shuddered, and he didn't dare to continue to plead for mercy.

Zhao Dan turned his gaze back to Zhao Bao who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head, picked up some confessions that Mao Sui had just sent from the table, and threw them in front of Zhao Bao: "Mr. Let's see."

Zhao Bao picked up these confessions and looked at them. His face suddenly turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

Zhao Sheng on the side quietly stretched his neck and managed to read a few words, but also yelled in his heart that something was wrong.

Zhao Bao finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and kowtowed to Zhao Dan to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, I really don't know that Guo Kai is so daring and commits such treasonous things. I ask Your Majesty Mingjian, I will definitely not Get involved in this!"

At this moment, Zhao Bao's heart was full of remorse. If he knew that Guo Kai was involved in this kind of thing, then Zhao Bao would not even die to protect this Guo Kai.

You must know that the last guy who was involved in treason was named Lou Chang, who was also an important minister of Zhao Guo, so what happened?As a result, grass has grown on Lou Chang's grave, and the once prominent Lou clan has completely disappeared in Zhao State.

Zhao Sheng on the side hesitated for a moment, knowing that this time had come to the most critical moment, he gritted his teeth and knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee my life, Lord Pingyang has absolutely no intention of committing chaos. Please also ask the king to learn!"

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, who was kneeling in front of him, and felt a little tangled in his heart.

If it was said that Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao insisted on fighting against themselves to the end, then there was nothing to say, just push to the end.

But now it's more difficult to kneel, cry and beg for mercy.

After all, these two are Zhao Dan's uncles, and they have always been the two people who support Zhao Dan the most. Is it true that they are directly involved in this incident?

Just when Zhao Dan was hesitating, a Zhao domestic servant appeared in front of Zhao Dan, and whispered in Zhao Dan's ear: "Your Majesty, Yu Xin, Li Bo, Zheng Zhu and other ministers are waiting outside the hall. !"

Zhao Dan suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and now it was all right, and it became more and more lively.

"Hmph, all of them have sharp eyes and ears. Well, if that's the case, let's announce them all to the widow!"

Chapter 6: Yu Xin's Attack

Soon, except for Lian Po and Pang Nuan, the other five important ministers of Zhao State in Handan City came to Zhao Dan.

The expressions on everyone's faces were very serious, and a tense atmosphere quietly spread in the hall.

Yu Xin glanced at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao who were kneeling on the ground, cupped his hands towards Zhao Dan, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang?"

As soon as Yu Xin said these words, the expressions of Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao became even uglier.

To be honest, if Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao didn't want to see anyone appearing in this hall at this time, then this person must be Yu Xin.

Excluding the two generals Lian Po and Pang Nuan, the official with the highest status and power among the seven ministers of the Zhao Kingdom today is undoubtedly Xiangbang Zhao Sheng, then Si Kou Zhao Bao, and then Nei Shi Yu Xin.

No matter which one of Zhao Sheng or Zhao Bao falls, Yu Xin will benefit from it and have the opportunity to continue to rise.

So Yu Xin is definitely the one who most wants Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao to fall.

Zhao Dan saw that Yu Xin had asked a question, so he raised his hand slightly, and took out the confessions just now: "Everyone, you can take a look at these confessions. Also, Mr. Pingyuan, Mr. Pingyang, you two Don't kneel down, let's all get up."

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and took their seats.

If there were only the two of them and Zhao Dan here, then kneeling and pretending to be pitiful is obviously a more effective way, but now that Yu Xin and others have arrived, it is not a glorious thing to kneel and tremble in front of their colleagues .

So soon, this confession was quickly circulated among several other ministers.

During such foreign wars, everyone is actually very busy.

For example, Yu Xin, who is an internal historian, has to worry about the army's logistics and supplies, Lieutenant Li Bo has to pay attention to the local government's organization of migrant workers and whether there are officials who take the opportunity to make money in the country, and Zheng Zhu, the great line, naturally has to pay attention to the alliance with the allies. Contacts and possible diplomatic changes.

So they didn't have the time to pay attention to this matter, so when they saw the content of the confession, the shocked expressions on their faces naturally came from their hearts.

"Bang!" Lieutenant Li Bo slapped the table in front of him heavily, and said angrily: "My lord, this Guo Kai is so shameless and willing to be a moth of the country. I suggest that the Guo family be punished, as an example to others!"

As a lieutenant who supervised all the officials, Li Bo naturally didn't have any good feelings for this kind of guy who poached the corner of the country.

After saying this, Uncle Li raised his head and smiled at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, but he didn't say anything.

On the other side, Yu Xin cast a urging look at Uncle Li.
