Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Lian Po snorted and said, "In that case, Zhao Kuo will get the credit he deserves, and I don't need to feel guilty!"

Yu Xin shook his head and said, "In that case, the Gongshi faction will have Lord Pingyuan, Lord Pingyuan, and Zhao Kuo, while the leaders of the scholar faction, you, me, and Lin Qing, are all Shangqing! Three princes and three ministers, no fool would be optimistic about our scholar faction.

At that time, if there is a prime minister like Mr. Pingyuan in the government of the Gongshi faction, and a famous general like Zhao Kuo in the army, we will be all over, do you understand?

Is this the result you want to see? "

Yu Xin asked some rhetorical questions, which made Lian Po somewhat unable to answer, but the old general cocked his head and said, "You let people spread rumors in Handan, and then you speak in front of the king, and put Zhao Kuo's credit on me, that is wrong!"

Yu Xin sighed, and said: "Mr. Wu Xiang, politics is a matter of life and death, so where is the right or wrong?

Is it the result you want to see that our scholar faction has been suppressed all the way since then, and finally wiped out by Mr. Pingyuan and Zhao Kuo?

How many people are attached to us and want to follow us to help the King and Zhao Guo create a great career, do you have the heart to ruin their future completely because of your shame? "

Lian Po was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said, "Brother Lian, you and I have known each other for decades, how can I not know your anger and concerns?

But now that the power of the Pingyuan monarch is growing, we could only rely on your prestige in the army to support us, but now Zhao Kuo, we have nothing to do. "

Lian Po was silent for a long time, and he also let out a long sigh: "I can't think that I will do such a thing in the end after being a soldier all my life! Let it go, let's not eat this wine!"

After speaking, Lian Po got up straight and left Yu Xin's mansion directly.

Looking at Lian Po's leaving back, Yu Xin asked, "Lin Qing, Mr. Wu Xiangru." Lin Xiangru was in a daze, and after a while he said, "It's okay, he will figure it out."

Only then did Yu Xin nod his head reassuringly, and said, "This is the best.

But this matter can't stop here. Next, we must find a way to restrict Zhao Kuo, so that Zhao Kuo can no longer play like this. "

Lin Xiangru was a little hesitant, and said: "Yu Qing, Zhao Kuo will know what we did sooner or later, so let's not provoke him for the time being."

Yu Xin said disapprovingly: "It's better to strike while the iron is hot, besides, even if Zhao Kuo knew about it, so what?

He has no evidence at all, and he has nothing to do with us.

Lin Qing, you don't need to worry, I will plan this matter myself. "

Yu Xin was quite confident when he said this.

A mere 25-year-old Zhao Kuo may be able to command and fight wars, but when it comes to political struggles and officialdom, Zhao Kuo is just a rookie.

Zhao Kuo, why fight Yu Xin?

Go to Doctor Louchang Mansion.

Lou Chang is the patriarch of the generation of the Lou family, and the Lou family is a branch of the Zhao family. Lou Chang is currently serving as the Secretary-General of Zhao Wang, who is equivalent to Zhao Wang's secretary-general. He has won the trust of Zhao Wang. All orders have to go through Lou Chang's side, and then pass on.

At this moment, Lou Chang is receiving a secret visitor from Guanzhong in his study.

Lou Chang stared at the person in front of him and said coldly: "Ji Xinpiao, didn't you say it last time, as long as I help you spread rumors about replacing Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, and then speak in front of the king, I will replace Lian Po." Is the entanglement between the Lou family and your country of Qin completely over?"

The middle-aged man named Ji Xinpiao looked quite sinister, his triangular eyes flashed brightly, and he was not a good person at first glance, he smiled after hearing the words, and said, "Why does Doctor Lou speak so heartlessly?

Lingzun Louxu also served as Xiangbang in our state of Qin back then, did he just ignore his friendship? "

Lou Chang sneered, and said: "You Qin Kings are nothing more than my father's aspect, what kind of friendship is there?

I don't care what your intentions are, anyway, what I have done for you has been completed, and Lou's doesn't owe you Qin anything, so get out! "

Ji Xinpiao laughed, and said, "Doctor Lou is too heartless, right?

Let me tell you the truth, after the failure of Changping this time, our king has been furious, no matter what, we must complete the goal this time, otherwise everyone will be questioned.

Dr. Lou also knows our majesty's methods, so if Dr. Lou really doesn't give face, we have no choice but to kill the net and spread the cooperation between Dr. Lou and us. "

Lou Chang was furious, and said, "How dare you!"

Ji Xinpiao shrugged his shoulders, and said: "If you can't complete the task, you will die. I, Ji Xinpiao, are dying. Is there anything else I dare not do?

I don't know how Wang Zhao felt when he learned that Dr. Lou actually worked for the state of Qin? "

Lou Chang stared at Ji Xinpiao firmly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Ji Xinpiao said with a smile: "Doctor Lou doesn't have to be like this. If I didn't leave Loufu today, the whole of Handan would know about Doctor Lou tomorrow. Doctor Lou is a smart person, so he must know what to do, right?"

There was a long silence in the room.

After a long time, Lou Chang said slowly: "Just this one time, the next one will not be an example!"

Ji Xinpiao obviously had expected it long ago, and said with a smile: "It's only natural.

Please rest assured, Dr. Lou, I, Ji Xinpiao, will definitely do what I say. "

Lou Chang sneered and said, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Ji Xinpiao smiled slightly and said: "Our king's order is very clear, that is to kill Zhao Kuo!"

Lou Chang was taken aback, and asked, "Is your king crazy?"

Ji Xinpiao spread his hands: "Whether the king is crazy or not, we people don't have any choice. What do you think, Doctor Lou?"

Lou Chang pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll find a solution for you as soon as possible.

But if you come to harass me again after this time, then I will definitely fight you to the death! "

Ji Xinpiao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Then it's a deal! Also, the sooner the better!"

Chapter 22

After Zhao He returned home, Zhao He rested at home for three days before taking office.

The origin of the position of Da Sima is probably Zhouli, which is described as follows: "The position of Da Sima is in charge of the nine laws of building a state, and assisting the king to balance the state.

Rectify the country with the law of nine cuts. "

But now it is the end of the Warring States Period, hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the land under Zhou Tianzi's rule is not as large as Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo has long since stopped using the Zhou Dynasty.

According to Zhao Wang's definition, Da Sima is a brand-new official position specially established to commend Zhao Kuo's contributions. It belongs to the deputy of General Lian Po, which is equivalent to the deputy marshal of Zhao Guobing and the second person in Zhao Guo's army.

As a big Sima, of course he must have his own office.

Zhao Kuo's Grand Sima Office is on a wide street in the southwest corner of Handan. Next door is Lian Po's General Office, and next door is Pingyuan Jun's Xiangbang Office, Pingyang Jun's Sikou Office, and Lin Xiangru's internal history. Office and so on.

To put it simply, Zhao Kuo became neighbors with a group of top bosses, because he is now one of Zhao Guo's top bosses!Zhao Kuo, who went to work on the first day, sat in the lobby, and hundreds of Zhao officials saluted him in front of him: "I have seen Da Sima!"

Many people looked at Zhao Kuo secretly, with excited expressions on their faces, just like fans seeing their idols.

There is no way, Zhao Kuo's record is too impressive!I have to say, watching a group of officials salute me, this feeling is really a little refreshing.

Xu Li brought a list and said, "My lord, this is the list of all officials."

Although Da Sima is a newly opened official office, the officials inside are basically filled, but most of them are deputies, and some of the more critical positions are left for Zhao Kuo to decide.

Zhao Kuo was also unceremonious, and came up and said: "From today onwards, Xu Li is the long history of the Grand Sima's official office! As for other official positions, the general has a list here, and someone will come to take up the post later."

Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, was named Ma Fujun after all, and he had some of his own team, and now Zhao Kuo just happened to be pulled by Zhao Kuo to the Da Sima's mansion to do things for him.

Naturally, no one dared to object to this.

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "Of course, as long as you work hard, you will naturally have a way of promotion in the future.

If you don't do things well, I don't care who you are or what background you have, I will kill you directly! "

Zhao Kuo is very serious and domineering when he speaks, my territory is under my control, even the king can't dictate here!Everyone agrees to do so.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's start working!"

After a while, several large baskets of wooden bamboo slips were placed in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo: "" He just realized that there is no paper in this era.

Forget it, what's so great about the bamboo slips, I'll review them as well!Zhao Kuo picked up the pen and began to carefully review it.

Da Sima actually divided some of the powers that originally belonged to the general, specifically military law and logistics.

In times of war, if someone in the army breaks the law, the commander will punish him directly. In peacetime, it is different. Any officer with more than [-] masters who breaks the law must be reported to Zhao Kuo, the great Sima, to deal with it.

The logistics are easier to understand. Food, supplies, and weapons and equipment are also under Zhao Kuo's control.

To be honest, this power is not small.

However, the real core rights, such as the right to deploy troops, belong to King Zhao himself, while the other extremely important personnel power is controlled by General Lian Po, so Zhao Kuo's deputy is indeed worthy of the name.

Zhao Kuo looked at the file sent up, and slowly frowned.

"Two five hundred masters dueled because of a woman, one of them was killed and the other was imprisoned?"

"In order to compete for a rewarded fertile land, two thousand generals gathered their subordinates to confront each other, and a conflict almost broke out?"

"A certain hundred general risked his life to rescue a thousand general. The thousand general promised to promote him to be the leader of the five hundred, but he failed. In the end, the hundred general was angry and killed the thousand general with a knife?"

In fact, these things are not difficult to judge, but Zhao Kuo has a deeper understanding of what the ancients said, this "Yanzhao style".

After a day's work, Zhao Kuo suffered from back pain and cramps in his hands.

A bamboo slip is not heavy, but hundreds or even hundreds of copies must be reviewed in a day, and the added weight is a bit scary.

According to the historical knowledge in Zhao Kuo's mind, Qin Shihuang, a hard-working madman, can review memorials with a total weight of several hundred catties a day, and persist for decades!Approving dossiers can even exercise the body, which Zhao Kuo did not expect.

And there are no chairs in this era. Everyone is sitting upright, which is the kind of kneeling that Dongying RB people have learned from the past. After sitting for a day, the legs are so sore. Zhao Kuo, who worked hard on the first day of work, didn’t stand up all at once. , a stagger almost fell a shit.

After moving his body, Zhao Kuo walked out of his office, ready to go home.

Xu Li appeared beside Zhao Kuo on time: "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Zhao Kuo glanced at Xu Li, and said in a gentle tone: "Uncle Xu, you are also a long history now, and no one in this official office is bigger than you except me, so you don't need to be like this in the future."

Xu Li said sternly: "My lord's words are wrong. I will be a minister for a day and I will be a minister for the rest of my life. I have received great kindness from my predecessor and the lord. How dare I be arrogant?

My lord, please get in the car. "

Zhao Kuo sighed, these ancients were indeed a bit stubborn in this regard, but I have to say that this kind of stubbornness is still a very good quality in Zhao Kuo's opinion.

After Zhao Kuo got into the carriage, Xu Li also followed in the carriage.

When the carriage drove out of the official office, Zhao Kuo suddenly said, "How are you familiar with the situation?"

Xu Li seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Hearing this, he said: "I already have some clues, and I should be able to control it in a few days."

The Da Sima Office is a new official office, so many officials are transferred from other official offices, and it is inevitable that some other people's eyeliner will be mixed in.

Zhao Kuo didn't want others to know everything about what he was doing. It was necessary to remove eyeliner, which was what Xu Li was doing.

After explaining a few more words, Zhao Kuo opened the window, pointed to the General's Office next to the Da Sima's Office by the roadside and said, "Go in and find General Lian Po."

Regarding the uproar in Handan City, which eventually led to Lian Po stealing Zhao Kuo's credit, Zhao Kuo felt that he had to ask Lian Po face to face to find out what role Lian Po played in this matter .

Chapter 23 Breaking with Lian Po

Zhao Kuo soon met Lian Po.

Although they are two different factions, the atmosphere when the two met was quite friendly at the beginning.

Lian Po asked Zhao Kuo about his work this day like a big elder, and made some suggestions for Zhao Kuo's work.

Although he has a hot temper, Lian Po is also a general of Zhao Guo after all, and his handling of many affairs is obviously not comparable to that of a stunned official like Zhao Kuo. After some conversations, Zhao Kuo has indeed gained a lot.

Talking and talking, it was already dusk, Lian Po smiled when he saw this, "Zhao Qing, why don't you go back to the mansion with Benhou, and Benhou will let someone fix the food and drink, you and I have a good talk?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "That's unnecessary. The reason why I came to trouble Mr. Wu Xiang today is mainly to ask a question."

Lian Po's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know what question Zhao Qing wants to ask?"

Zhao Kuo said sternly: "After the celebration banquet was over, I accidentally heard a news that someone spread some rumors in Handan, saying that the reason why the Battle of Changping was won has nothing to do with me at all. It was Lian who really turned the tide for Zhao Guo. Quite a general.

I don't know if the general has heard such words? "

Lian Po's face became strange, and he smiled after a while: "It's simply nonsense! Zhao Qing's contribution in the Battle of Changping can be known by himself, how can anyone believe such rumors?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "To be honest, I also think this kind of rumor is totally unbelievable.

But the problem is that the person who told me this news also said that it was because of this rumor that I, Zhao Kuo, lost the title of emperor that I should have obtained! "

Lian Po's complexion changed, and his smile became forced: "Zhao Qing and Mr. Yuan have a close relationship. Mr. Pingyuan is my great Zhao Xiangbang. With the credit of General Zhao Kuo, is there anyone who can be greedy for ink in front of Mr. Pingyuan?"

Zhao Kuo said word by word, "This news was told to me by Mr. Pingyuan."

Lian Po was completely silent.

The sun was about to set, and the light in the room gradually became dark.

Lian Po said quietly: "Could it be that Zhao Qing thinks that this Marquis planned such a thing behind the scenes and took the credit of Zhao Qing?"
