Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

"Long live the queen mother, long live the king!"

"Long live Wu Xinjun!"

Countless cheers came and kept ringing in Zhao Kuo's ears, which made Zhao Kuo excited and waved his arms from time to time, making the crowd's cheers even higher.

These people's cheers and admiration for Zhao Kuo are the best basis for Zhao Kuo to seize power in the future!Slowly, the carriage arrived in front of King Zhao's palace, where King Zhao led many ministers of Zhao State and were already waiting here.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of eyes, Zhao Kuo jumped off the carriage and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, I have returned from the expedition, and I am fortunate to live up to my fate!"

Zhao Kuo knelt down specially for everyone to see that Zhao Kuo is still the loyal Wu Xinjun.

There is no way, as Zhao Kuo's credits increase, the influence of the high-gong earthquake master becomes more and more obvious.

Before the time is ripe, Zhao Kuo must let everyone see his loyalty!Sometimes Zhao Kuo felt it was funny: "Sister, I'm a dignified time traveler, how can I act like a villain?"

But having said that, thinking of Zhao Wang's repeated suppression and even killing of Zhao Kuo, and thinking of the queen mother's almost identical approach, Zhao Kuo clearly knew that even if he was really loyal, one day he would be like the king of the past. Bai Qi was directly forced to death by King Qin's order.

Whether it is for self-help or to lead the entire China, Zhao Kuo who has come to this point actually has no choice.

Little King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, but he immediately remembered something, and said with a stern face: "Mr. Wu Xin, you have done a good job, let's go to the ancestral temple with the widow to worship the ancestors."

A quarter of an hour later, in front of Zhao Guozong Temple, Zhao Kuo, who had just completed the ancestor worship ceremony, knelt down in front of King Zhao again, listening to Lord Pingyuan recite a will aloud.

"Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is loyal to the country. He stepped forward to turn the tide in times of crisis and quelled the crisis for Da Zhao. He is actually the pillar of Da Zhao and the humerus of the widow! All the soldiers of Zhao, preside over the daily military affairs of Da Zhao! I hope that Lord Wu Xin will not be arrogant or discouraged, and make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the widow and Da Zhao in the future!"

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Zhao Kuo couldn't help being excited when he heard the will.

General Zhao Guo, the position of the military leader in the entire Zhao country, finally belongs to Zhao Kuo!Zhao Kuo was excited, took the will with both hands, and said loudly: "Thank you, King! Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Behind Zhao Kuo, many Zhao Guo ministers watched this scene and whispered.

"Wu Xinjun has already taken up the post of general before he was thirty, and he really deserves to be a genius commander."

"Yes, the most rare thing is that all of Wu Xinjun's achievements are made with real swords and guns, without relying on the shadow of his parents at all."

"General Lian Po is actually a famous general, but it's just that he was born at an untimely time when he met Mr. Wu Xin."

"Actually, if General Lian Po hadn't suffered a disastrous defeat in Gaotang this time, the queen mother may not have let Wu Xinjun take the position. I heard that the queen mother is very good to Wu Xinjun." "Hush! Dare to say anything, don't you want to live?"

Listening to the whispers around, Han Xu couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at Lian Po, and found that Lian Po's face was calm, and he couldn't see any psychological fluctuations at all.

Han Xuwei sneered in his heart: "This Lian Po, who is so indifferent even after being robbed of the position of General, really deserves it!"

Although it was a great victory, Han Xuwei was still very, very upset.

Suddenly, Han Xuwei felt the silence around him, he couldn't help but raised his head, and then he was startled: "Wu Xinjun, you..." Zhao Kuo stood in front of Han Xuwei and said with a smile: "Master, this Marquis has already heard Someone said, you swore before that as long as this Marquis can take down Taoyi, you will swallow the bronze wine prince alive.

I don't know when the grand master will let Ben Hou experience the good show of swallowing the bronze wine baron with his own eyes? "

Chapter 276 Han Xuwei's New Plan

Zhao Kuo's words made Han Xuwei's face change drastically, and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and shook his head: "Grand Master, if you have any opinions on this Marquis, you may wish to speak out in public. Such behavior of secretly speaking ill of others behind the scenes is not the work of a real man! By the way, what if Grand Master Tian really wants to be a man who keeps his word, please remember to tell this Marquis, and this Marquis will hurry to watch Grand Master Tunjiujue’s deeds!"

Han Xuwei's face turned green and pale, and finally couldn't hold back the shame in his heart, turned around and left.

Looking at the figure of Han Xuwei leaving, Zhao Kuo couldn't help sighing: "This man, don't brag if you don't have the ability. Look, this is bad luck, right?"

Han Xu, who hadn't gone far, almost fell because of a stagger, and his pace became faster and faster.

Many Zhao Guo ministers around looked at this scene with different moods and whispered to themselves.

"Sure enough, I knew that as soon as Wu Xinjun returned from victory, the grand master's unlucky day would come."

"You really can't blame Wu Xinjun for this. If you were Wu Xinjun, when you were in the front and were putting all your life and death for the great Zhao, someone in the back cursed you every day and wished you would lose the battle. Can you bear it?"

"Too.

The grand master is to blame himself. "

This time, the direction of public opinion can almost be said to be overwhelmingly in favor of Zhao Kuo.

Everyone can see Zhao Kuo's contribution to Zhao Guo. What did Han Xuwei do?

Even South Korea, where Han Xuwei is located, betrayed Zhao Guo during the Gaotang War, and almost made Zhao Guo doomed.

People always follow in the footsteps of winners, and this time is no exception.

Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion again, just in time to see his wife and children standing at the gate of the mansion.

"Father!"

The eldest son, Zhao Qian, jumped into Zhao Kuo's arms at once. The second son, Zhao Meng, was hugged by Qiu'er. He looked at Zhao Kuo curiously for a while, and also made a babbling sound, and moved towards Zhao Kuo. Show a sweet smile.

For the ideal and self-achievement, Zhao Kuo needs to work hard for a long time, but for this famous Wu Xinjun, this home is his eternal harbor!Looking at the gentle and generous, petite and cute monogamous and concubine in front of him, holding the little Zhao Qian who refused to go down in his arms, Zhao Kuo walked into the lobby surrounded by everyone, and picked out some interesting things that happened during the war. , filling the air with bursts of laughter.

Before I knew it, night fell.

For those who return home from an expedition, there is nothing better than a hot bath to wash away dust and relieve fatigue.

Zhao Kuo soaked in the huge hot soup bucket, and the whole bathing room was filled with smoke, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Tian Wan's figure appeared.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Where are the children?"

Tian Wan smiled and said, "Qiu'er took them to sleep."

At some point, Tian Wan had already removed her clothes and stepped into the bucket.

Even though she has already given birth to children, Tian Wan's figure is still amazingly perfect, adding a bit of the unique style of a mature young woman, making her even more attractive.

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan, his mouth was dry for a while, and he felt a sudden heat surge inside his body.

Amidst the curling smoke, the two figures gradually merged into one. Zhao Kuo's beautiful and pleasant leisure time began.

Zhao Kuo felt comfortable, and when someone saw Zhao Kuo so comfortable, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Han Xuwei sat in the lobby with a very ugly face, and said bitterly to Lin Xiangru in front of him: "Xinjun, I have suffered a great humiliation this time, and I must find a way to return it from Zhao Kuo!"

Although several days have passed, Han Xuwei still broods over the humiliation that Zhao Kuo gave himself on the ancestral temple that day.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and persuaded: "Teacher, now that Lord Wu Xin has just returned from victory, no matter whether it is his prestige in the court or the opposition, he should not be second-guessed. It would be unwise for you to go against him in this matter." ah."

Han Xuwei had obviously made up his mind and was not persuaded by Lin Xiangru: "The so-called crisis is also an opportunity. Now Zhao Kuo is indeed in full swing, but if you think about it, if there is a scandal suddenly, will his reputation be stigmatized directly on the street?" ?”

Lin Xiangru was startled, and said: "That's what you said, but where did Wu Xinjun get the scandal?"

Han Xuwei laughed and said, "It's always impossible for people to be perfect, isn't it?

To tell you the truth, the old man has been meticulously searching for people during this time, and the old man really discovered the flaw! "

Lin Xiangru asked suspiciously, "What's the flaw?"

Han Xuwei smiled sinisterly, and said softly, "Ginseng!"

"Ginseng?"

Lin Xiangru's face immediately changed when he heard the words: "The grand master wants to attack the ginseng channel?

It's better not to. "

It's not that Lin Xiangru didn't use the ginseng channel to make a fuss, but the result?

As a result, Yu Xin died tragically, and the scholar faction lost a general.

Although the case of Yu Xin's death has long been settled, there are still rumors that Zhao Kuo killed Yu Xin, which makes Lin Xiangru sweat a little every time he thinks about it.

Han Xuwei nodded and said with a sneer: "Although the sales of ginseng have long been in charge of Shaofu, doesn't Zhao Kuo still have a huge amount of ginseng profit?

This time, the old man intends to suggest to the queen mother that ginseng should be directly collected as a state-owned monopoly, which will directly cut off a large source of income for Zhao Kuo! "

Lin Xiangru thought for a moment, then hesitantly said: "The ginseng industry is complicated, if it is nationalized in a hurry, there may be problems."

Moreover, the development of the ginseng industry in the past few years has already become a non-negligible growth point of Zhao's foreign trade. Although ginseng is not directly under the jurisdiction of Lin Xiangru's internal history, it is still under the jurisdiction of Lin Xiangru through various connections and relationships. I learned about the sales of ginseng last year.

The total sales exceeded [-] million, and the specific figures are not convenient to disclose!This is a jaw-dropping number, and it is a number that will make anyone greedy after hearing it.

Experience tells Lin Xiangru that the more such an industry is, the more untouchable it is, because many stakeholders behind it have not yet surfaced.

Han Xuwei waved his hand disapprovingly, and said in a deep voice, "Who else?

It's just Wu Xinjun and Yuanyuan.

And Xinjun, you control the national treasury. Once the ginseng is nationalized, the future income will definitely go to the national treasury. Isn't this a great achievement for you? "

Lin Xiangru was shaken by Han Xuwei's words. It is true that the huge profits of ginseng are there. If the income from ginseng can be put into the national treasury, the annual fiscal revenue of the treasury must increase a lot. It is certainly quite tempting for the Minister of Finance of the United States.

But Lin Xiangru still didn't let go easily, but said: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will disagree."

Han Xuwei laughed and said, "Queen Mother?

The Empress Dowager has been afraid of Lord Wu Xin for a day or two, so what else can I disagree with?

As long as you agree, the old lady on the queen mother's side will go and talk! "

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is just as the grand master said, let's try it!"

Chapter 277 Ginseng Nationalized!

The next day, Han Xuwei entered the palace and asked to see the Queen Mother.

"Ginseng is nationalized?"

After hearing Han Xuwei's idea, the queen mother obviously hesitated: "This is not very good."

The matter of ginseng share is top secret, even Han Xuwei doesn't know about it, but of course the Queen Mother knows about it.

Zhao Wang occupies [-]% of the big head, followed by Lord Pingyuan [-]%, Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen [-]% each.

Originally, Guo Zong also had a share, but later Guo Zong was kicked out of the ranks of officials and businessmen, and this share naturally went to King Zhao.

Zhou Shaofen was also kicked out by Zhao Kuo for a time, but later the queen mother added his share back in order to express her support for Zhou Shaofen so that Zhou Shaofen could develop his power.

Sixty percent is actually quite a lot. Every year, Zhao Guo Shaofu's income is in units of tens of millions, which makes people feel happy.

Han Xuwei was also secretly surprised after learning the specific share from the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, ginseng turned out to be such a big source of income!Han Xuwei thought for a while, and said: "Queen Mother, now that the king is young, some people may have different ideas. If they use this money to recruit soldiers and horses, it will definitely be a big threat to the royal family of Zhao."

Han Xuwei knew the queen mother very well, and these words hit the queen mother's Achilles' heel right away.

What is the Queen Mother most concerned about?

Of course, it was her son Xiao Zhao Wang who was able to grow up smoothly, and then took over the supreme power of Zhao State.

For the queen mother, she absolutely does not allow her son's throne to be touched by anyone, even if it is only "possible to be touched".

The queen mother said coldly: "The grand master means that Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Wu Xin want to rebel?"

When saying these words, murderous intent flashed clearly in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Han Xuwei was taken aback by this murderous intent, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother misunderstood, this minister didn't mean that.

The minister just wanted to say that Lord Pingyuan and Lord Wu Xin were originally allies. Lord Pingyuan had thousands of followers, and Lord Wu Xin used the wealth brought by ginseng to create a cavalry unit like the Chi You Army.

If they continue to develop, I am afraid that Lord Pingyuan will have tens of thousands of followers in the future, and Lord Wu Xin's Chi You army will also exceed [-].

These powers are all the personal power of the two of them, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the king and queen mother, so there will be endless troubles. "

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "The old lady understands.

Starting tomorrow, ginseng will be officially owned by the state! "

Wu Xinjun Mansion.

"Come on, give Dad a smile!"

Zhao Kuo hugged his infant second son, Zhao Meng, and teased him with a smile on his face. From time to time, he pinched and scratched his second son, making little Zhao Meng let out a baby-like laugh.

Not far away, Zhao Kuo's son, Zhao Qian, was running around happily, holding a net bag made by Zhao Kuo himself, catching butterflies. echoes incessantly.

Most of the children's happiness comes from their parents. As long as the parents can always accompany the children, it is more precious to the children than anything else.

Farther away, Zhao Kuo's wife Tian Wan and concubine Qiu'er held their infant daughter and watched the scene with a smile on their faces.

Tian Wan said softly: "It's really rare for a man like my husband who likes to be with the children and us, and never runs outside."

Qiu'er nodded earnestly, and said: "Yes, those nobles of the Qi Kingdom know how to spend their days and nights, except for women, they go to the racetrack. How can they compare to a ten-thousandth of the husband?"

"And the husband still likes his daughter very much. If Meng'er hadn't been crying to hug her, the husband would not let go of his daughter."

This is a very happy and warm scene, full of love and responsibility.
