Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

But if you don’t have money, you can talk about it later. The most important thing for Zhao Kuo now is to enter the palace to participate in the small court meeting specially held by Zhao Wang, which only Zhao Guozhong ministers can participate in.

Revenge, of course, can't take too long!Lin Xiangru got off the carriage, just in time to see Yu Xin and Lian Po who arrived at the same time.

The three walked up the steps side by side.

Lin Xiangru saw that there was no one around, and said to Yu in a low voice: "It's just nonsense! Although we and Yuanjun Zhao Kuo have different political opinions, we are all working for the Zhao country and the king, and the original intention is the same. People assassinate Zhao Kuo?"

Lin Xiangru knew the news that Lian Po saved Zhao Kuo, so of course he would not doubt Lian Po.

Yu Xin smiled wryly, and said, "Lin Qing, you just misunderstood me. What happened last night has nothing to do with me."

Lin Xiangru looked at Yu Xin suspiciously: "It really doesn't matter?"

Yu Xin shook his head resolutely: "Think about it, Lin Qing, if I want to target Zhao Kuo, there are many ways to kill people without blood, why should I send out assassins so straightforwardly, and send so many at once?

It is difficult to cover up the whereabouts of so many people. Once the whereabouts are revealed, wouldn't it directly ruin the lives of my whole family? "

Lin Xiangru thought for a while, nodded to agree with Yu Xin's statement, but still said in a low voice: "For official affairs, let's use official means, don't make it so direct!"

Yu Xin sighed: "It's really not me, Lin Qing."

Lian Po on the side was expressionless and did not speak the whole time.

Yu Xin glanced at Lian Po and sighed inwardly.

The circumstances of the assassination last night were not hidden from Yu Xin, so Yu Xin knew very well that if Lian Po had acted later, Zhao Kuo might have been caught up and killed by the assassins.

Unfortunately, after a while, the three of them came to the palace.

Zhao Wang sat at the head with a gloomy face.

Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang have already sat down, looking at the three giants of the scholars with unkind eyes.

Lin Xiangru smiled at Mr. Pingyuan and sat down.

Yu Xin and Mr. Yuan looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks in the air, and they also sat down after a few seconds.

Lian Po remained expressionless and sat down without looking at anyone else.

In addition to these people, Yushi Louchang, Da Xingren Zheng Zhu, etc. were present, and all the important officials of Zhao Guo gathered together.

No, there is actually one less.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhao Kuo, who still had a bandage on his arm, strode in.

"I have seen the king!"

Zhao Kuo saluted King Zhao.

Zhao Wang's face was moved, and he hurriedly said: "Zhao Qing doesn't need to be too polite.

Zhao Qing was assassinated by thieves last night, and the widow was also very worried after hearing about it. Seeing that Zhao Qing is safe today, the widow is relieved.

Come and sit down. "

Zhao Kuo got up, looked around with everyone present, and said to Lian Po, "Thank you, General Lian Po, for saving your life yesterday."

Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo and said very calmly: "This old man has repaid you, and from now on you and I will owe nothing!"

Zhao Kuo nodded, stopped talking, walked to his seat and sat down.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Wang straightened his face and said very seriously: "You must have known about the assassination of Zhao Qing that happened last night.

The widows are very dissatisfied with this, it is simply nonsense that such a thing happened in the capital of the dignified Zhao! "

King Zhao made a fuss, and all the other ministers agreed.

Although it was Zhao Kuo who was assassinated this time, who knows if it will be the turn of other people present next time?

Zhao Wang said in a deep voice: "So this time, the widow has issued a death order to Handan Commander Zhou Shaofen, and told him to solve it as soon as possible!"

After a short period of silence, Yu Xin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it is said that these assassins are well-equipped and well-trained. They are from South Korea. I am afraid they were ordered by the King of Han."

Yu Shi Louchang coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I think so too.

The Koreans lost Shangdang County because of the Battle of Changping. Although Qin State attacked South Korea’s Shangdang, the result was that our Zhao State won Shangdang. Kuo Zhaoqing also had a motive for the assassination. "

At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly said: "What Yu Qing and Dr. Lou said is actually a big mistake, and it is a thousand miles away!"

Chapter 27

Everyone was a little surprised and turned their attention to Zhao Kuo.

Yu Xin was so refuted, of course he couldn't hold back his face, so he couldn't help but asked: "Why is Zhao Qing so arbitrary?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm arbitrary, but that I already have evidence."

"evidence?"

Yu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Zhao Qing, stop joking, you have evidence in just one night?"

There was obvious sarcasm in Yu Xin's tone.

You don't need to think about it, but the mastermind who dared to launch the assassination of Zhao Kuo in Handan must be a powerful force, or even the king of a vassal state. Such masterminds must be sophisticated and will hide their tracks. Maybe Zhao Kuo solved it overnight?

Besides, if you Zhao Kuo really have this level, then you should realize that you found the risk and avoided this assassination!Yu confidently thought to himself: "It seems that Zhao Kuo is already in a hurry because of yesterday's incident, and wants to grab and bite.

But that's fine, as long as I provoke him, he will definitely make a fool of himself in public, wouldn't it be wonderful? "

Yu Xin continued to speak: "Qing Zhao, after all, you are young and energetic and eager to take revenge, I can understand that.

But it's a little too much for you to speak so conclusively when you come up like this." Yu Xin coughed and didn't continue, but everyone present understood what Yu Xin said, and their expressions began to be a little subtle.

King Zhao frowned, feeling that what Yu Xin said made sense, Zhao Kuo was really in a hurry.

Alas, he is young after all, so unreliable.

Fortunately, the widow didn't give Zhao Kuo the title of king before, otherwise, wouldn't Zhao Kuo be more drifting?

Thinking of this, King Zhao was suddenly a little lucky.

Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng obviously felt the same way, so he said: "Zhao Kuo, I can understand your mood, but don't be too anxious, this is not right.

Your Majesty has asked Handan to order Zhou Shaofen to investigate. When it is reported that Zhou Shaofen comes up, we will ask and see what the situation is like. "

Mr. Pingyuan was defending Zhao Kuo inside and outside the words.

Zhao Kuo shook his head, and said to Mr. Pingyuan: "Your Majesty, it's really not that I, Zhao Kuo, lied. I have indeed investigated the mastermind behind the scenes, and I also know who colluded with the mastermind behind the scenes and sent these assassins into the palace. In Handan."

Yu Xin couldn't help but feel more funny when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "This Zhao Kuo, is he still stubborn at this time?"

Yu Xin said with a smile: "Since Zhao Qing is so convincing, please tell me, who are the mastermind behind this scene and his accomplices?"

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and pointed at Yushi Louchang who was sitting next to him: "Doctor Lou Changlou is the accomplice who quietly brought dozens of assassins into Handan and assassinated me!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, everyone in the hall showed shock.

Lou Chang, the senior doctor and censor of Zhao State, is the confidant of King Zhao, and the Lou clan is also a branch of the Zhao clan.

Such a person actually became an accomplice in the assassination of Zhao Guo's greatest hero?

Lou Chang's expression changed, he stared at Zhao Kuo and said, "Zhao Qing, don't spit blood!"

Mr. Pingyuan couldn't help but said, "Zhao Qing, is there some misunderstanding?"

The reason Mr. Pingyuan spoke up was because Lou Chang was also one of the core members of the Gongshi faction, and now Zhao Kuo actually directly testified against Lou Chang. Wasn't it because the flood flooded the Dragon King Temple and the family didn't recognize the family?

Sitting at the top, Zhao Wang first looked at Lou Chang, then at Zhao Kuo, with a strange expression.

On the other side, Yu Xin was also dumbfounded.

Yu Xin had already prepared himself to be accused of being an accomplice, but Zhao Kuo actually bit him?

A soft cough sounded into Yu Xin's ears, and he turned his head, just in time to see Lin Xiangru winking in this direction.

Lin Xiangru's meaning is obvious, let's see the situation first!Yu Xin nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice, "No.

Your Majesty, Zhu Qing, I, Zhao Kuo, have never been a bloody guy. Dr. Lou Chang is indeed the accomplice who assisted the people of Qin to assassinate me!Without the help of Dr. Lou Chang, it would be impossible for dozens of Qin assassins to carry weapons into Handan City without anyone noticing, knowing my way home in advance and launching an ambush! "

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he looked straight at Lou Chang with no concealment of murderous intent in his eyes.

It was because of this bastard that twenty loyal guards around Zhao Kuo died, and Xu Li, Zhao Kuo's most trusted confidant, was seriously injured in bed.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and everyone's expressions changed again.

Yu Xin finally couldn't help but said: "Zhao Qing, you said that the Qin people want you to die, do you have evidence?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Of course.

Without bragging, the guards around me, Zhao Kuo, are considered to be the first-class guards in the world. Even if the enemy is ten times stronger, it is difficult to kill them as quickly as last night. The army that can do this is not too good in the world. There are many, and Qin Ruishi is one of them!Moreover, I happened to have fought against Qin Ruishi on the Changping battlefield, and I am very familiar with their formation and combined attack methods, so there is no doubt that they are them. "

Yu Xin's eyes flickered, ignored Lin Xiangru's repeated coughing, and said, "Qing Zhao, this is just your reasoning.

Now that the assassins have all committed suicide, no one can witness the so-called formation and attack method, which is not enough as evidence. "

Zhao Kuo glanced at Lian Po.

Lian Po muffled: "When the old man arrived, the battle was over, and Zhao Qing was being hunted down. It is impossible to judge from what the old man saw."

Yu Xin laughed, and said to Zhao Kuo mockingly: "Qing Zhao, did you hear that?"

Yu Xin realizes that this is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to drive a wedge between Zhao Kuo and Lou Chang, and cause internal strife among the office factions.

So no matter how dissatisfied Lin Xiangru is, Yu Xin must carry out this discord to the end.

King Zhao was obviously suspicious, and said, "Qing Zhao, you must have been deceived, right?

Dr. Lou Chang is the censor of the widow, and he has always acted loyally. It should be impossible to do such a thing that hurt Zhao Zhongliang. "

Lou Chang was quite panicked when Zhao Kuo called him out at first, but after what he said, he felt that Zhao Kuo didn't seem to have any evidence, so he regained his spirits and shouted: "That's right, Your Majesty, I've been wronged! Zhao Kuo, I don't blame you for your vengeance, but you can't just pour dirty water on me!"

Zhao Kuo stared at Lou Chang, and said coldly: "So, you won't cry when you see the coffin?"

When Zhao Kuo looked at Lou Chang like this, he felt inexplicably weak for a while, but he still insisted on his face: "You are just chasing and biting! If you have evidence, you can show it, otherwise, I, Lou Chang, will bet on this one." Life, I will never give up with you today!"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Very well, you have courage.

That being the case, then please ask the king Xuan Handan to order Zhou Shaofen to go to the palace, the truth will come to light when the time comes! "

Chapter 28 Testifying against Lou Chang

Zhao Wang saw that Zhao Kuo was so decisive and sure, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Is there really something wrong with Lou Chang?"

Zhao Wang said in a deep voice: "Come here, Xuan Handan ordered Zhou Shaofen to go to the palace!"

If there is any problem, everyone should directly confront it and let the evidence speak for itself. This is the best solution.

After a while, Handan ordered Zhou Shaofen to quickly go up to the hall, and saluted King Zhao: "I have seen you, my lord!"

It can be seen that Zhou Shaofen didn't take a long rest last night. After all, there are two big dark circles on his eye sockets that are quite conspicuous, but he is in good spirits and looks quite excited.

King Zhao nodded slightly, and said, "Be flat."

Zhou Shaofen said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Handanling twisted his body uncomfortably, because he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the eyes of the ministers on him today.

Zhou Shaofen looked at Zhao Kuo subconsciously, and Zhao Kuo smiled at Zhou Shaofen, which made Zhou Shaofen feel at ease, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.

With Zhao Qing here, what are you afraid of?

Thinking about it, Zhou Shaofen's body slightly straightened up.

Zhao Wangdao: "How is your investigation on the assassination of General Zhao Kuo yesterday?"

Zhou Shaofen immediately said: "To tell you the truth, the king already knows everything, and the mastermind and accomplices behind the scenes are basically determined."

"what?"

Except for Zhao Kuo in the hall, everyone else's expressions changed.

In everyone's mind, it must be a big force who can commit such a big case, and the big force must be relatively safe in doing things. How could it be possible to show its feet after only one night, and even made Zhou Shaofen say "I already know seven Seven or eight"?

King Zhao frowned, and said, "Zhou Shaofen, you are also an old man in the officialdom, so don't arbitrarily convict him just to avoid responsibility!"

Zhou Shaofeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is joking, even if it's for your own official position, it's impossible for me to grab and bite."

Lou Chang stared at Zhou Shaofen, and said, "Zhou Chengshou, you have to tell the truth, don't pour dirty water on others like some people do!"

Zhou Shaofen smiled at Lou Chang, and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Lou, there is evidence for everything."
