Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

This era is the era of scholars.

Due to the endless wars among the princes, every country is extremely wooing to scholars. Even if the monarch is pointed at the nose by scholars and scolded in public on the street, he will often not punish this scholar.

There is no way, if one scholar is punished, then all scholars will not come to your country.

It is common sense that a country cannot be strong without the support of scholars.

So even though Han Xuwei was ridiculed by these scholars and was going crazy, he still could only endure it.

Finally, just when Han Xuwei felt that his patience was coming to an end, Little Zhao Wang spoke.

"Wu Xinjun, the Cai Lun paper you invented is very good, can you send a batch to the palace?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "The king has orders, how can I not obey?

How about sending a carriage of Cai Lunzhi into the palace right away? "

Little Zhao Wang laughed and said, "It couldn't be better.

Wu Xinjun, everyone will know that you are a loyal minister! "

In this regard, Han Xuwei naturally had no choice but to remain silent.

Little Zhao Wang stood up and said: "Okay, I should go back to the palace.

Master, let's go. "

Han Xu stood up immediately as if he had been pardoned: "The old minister respectfully obeys the king's order!"

Zhao Kuo, Xun Kuang and his party also got up one after another: "Send off the king!"

Han Xuwei followed King Zhao and left in embarrassment. When he left, the grand master of Zhao Guo secretly swore in his heart that he would never come to this place where Han Xuwei was always unlucky in his life again!As soon as King Zhao and Han Xuwei left, Zhao Kuo was immediately surrounded by Xun Kuang and a group of sacrificial wine.

Xun Kuang looked at Zhao Kuo and said very seriously: "Your Majesty's papermaking is really a merit in the present age and benefits in the future. Xun Kuang is for countless living beings in the world and for all descendants of China. Thank you Wu Xinjun!"

Behind Xun Kuang, all the sacrificial wine bowed down and saluted together: "Thank you Wu Xinjun!"

Around, all the students from the academy bowed down and saluted at the same time: "Xie Wuxinjun!"

Zhao Kuo froze for a moment, then smiled: "Everyone, you don't have to be like this, you don't have to be like this! In fact, it's just a little effort, nothing more."

I have to say that although I have been thanked many times, Zhao Kuo still feels that it is really good to be thanked so sincerely!Little Zhao Wang and Han Xuwei returned to the palace, and then saw the Queen Mother.

"Mother!"

Little Zhao Wang became happy when he saw the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, you don't know, but the widow has witnessed a big event today!"

The Queen Mother looked at her son dotingly, and said with a smile, "What's the big deal?"

Little Zhao Wang said excitedly: "The Cai Lun paper that Wu Xinjun took out is really interesting!"

The queen mother froze for a moment, the smile on her face became a little stiff, and she turned to Han Xuwei: "Master, what is going on?"

Han Xuwei smiled wryly, and said: "To tell you the truth, the queen mother, this time, the old minister has made another big ugliness."

Listening to Han Xuwei's detailed description, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face completely disappeared.

"Son, you go back and practice first."

Little Zhao Wang obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he left very obediently.

After Little Zhao Wang left, the queen mother's face changed immediately, and she cursed Han Xuwei.

"Didn't the old woman tell you already, don't provoke Wu Xinjun if you have nothing to do?

In the end, why do you still go against him again and again?

If you continue like this, your reputation in Zhao Guozhong will really stink on the street. At that time, the old woman will have no choice but to protect you, understand? "

Han Xuwei was so scolded by the queen mother that his forehead was sweating constantly, so he had to defend himself: "Queen mother, the old minister was certainly confused for a while, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo could be so well prepared.

But the old minister also wants to remind the queen mother that Zhao Kuo's deliberate deliberation can be seen in this matter. "

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean?"

Han Xuwei said: "The old minister asks the queen mother to think about it. Zhao Kuo hinted to the students in advance that he would improve the bamboo slips to create momentum, and then suddenly took out the Cai Lun paper on the anniversary of the school, and there will be shops selling it soon. What does it mean?

It shows that Zhao Kuo has already made preparations, he is inviting to buy people's hearts, and he is plotting to do something wrong, Queen Mother! "After listening to Han Xuwei's words, the Empress Dowager's face became completely gloomy.

"Inviting to buy people's hearts, Wu Xinjun, do you really dare to do this?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's face, Han Xu knew that the Queen Mother had already believed half of it, so he hurriedly said: "Please think about it carefully, the improvement can be said to benefit the public, but Wu Xinjun set the price so low, except for the invitation to buy it." What else is there besides the human heart?"

"He dares!"

The Queen Mother finally yelled angrily and slapped the table.

Although the queen mother was angry, Han Xuwei did not have any fear, but heaved a sigh of relief.

This is what Han Xuwei wanted to see, he just wanted to arouse the Queen Mother's anger towards Zhao Kuo.

The queen mother's chest heaved violently, and it took a while before she became calmer, and said to Han Xuwei coldly: "Okay, the old lady knows about this, you go back first."

Han Xuwei was stunned when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Queen, what about Mr. Wu Xin?" The queen said angrily, "The old lady wants you to go back now! Other things, the old lady has her own plans."

Han Xu had no choice but to salute and leave.

Walking out of the palace, Han Xuwei became more and more unhappy as he thought about it, and couldn't help but snorted softly, and said in his heart: "This woman, when the old king just left, she had such a good attitude when she asked the old man to come back to give advice to her orphans and widows. Steady on your heels, you actually called this old man around like this!"

Han Xuwei gave a loud bah, spit on the ground, and then walked away quickly.

Han Xuwei didn't know that this small action of his clearly fell into the eyes of someone not far away.

The queen mother in the palace didn't know about Han Xuwei's tricks. At this moment, the queen mother of Zhao Guo had fallen into a moment of confusion.

"Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, are you an ambitious person who invites people to buy people's hearts, or a loyal minister who is loyal to Da Zhao?"

The queen mother originally thought that she could see through everything, but after experiencing so many things, the queen mother found that she seemed to be unable to see through Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!

Chapter 344 You Can't Be Called Ying Zheng From Now On

Qin State, Xianyang City.

In the main hall, King Qin looked at Fan Sui with a calm expression, "Yinghou, how is the action of contacting the princes?"

This was a small-scale core meeting. Apart from the king of Qin, the crown prince and Yinghou, there were only five important ministers of the state of Qin present.

Fan Sui said sternly: "Back to your Majesty, according to the replies we have received so far, South Korea, Wei Guo and Yan Guo have all agreed to join forces with Daqin to fight against Zhao Guo, but these three countries are obviously quite afraid of Zhao Guo Unwilling to openly sign a covenant."

King Qin frowned and snorted: "A bunch of gutless things! What about Chu and Qi?"

Fan Sui said: "The king of Chu rejected our request, and the king of Qi also refused.

But the reason why the king of Chu refused is probably because the state of Chu wanted to unite with the state of Zhao to take back Nanjun and Nanyang counties from Daqin, while the reason why the king of Qi refused was simply because the king of Qi was unwilling to fight again. "

The King of Qin was silent for a moment, and said: "The King of Chu is too confident, he really thinks that he can take away Nanjun and Nanyang County from the widow by joining Zhao Guo?

It's wishful thinking! "

Doing the math, it has been 20 years since Qin won these two counties.

In the past 20 years, Qin State has been moving a large number of prisoners, refugees, and criminals to these two counties, in order to firmly control the Jianghan Plain and Nanyang Basin, which Chu State relied on to make a fortune, in the hands of Qin State.

Judging from the current situation, the work of the State of Qin is very effective. The taxes paid by Nanjun and Nanyang counties are among the best among the counties of the State of Qin, ranking second and third respectively under Guanzhong, which is higher than that of the southwest and northern counties. counties are higher.

Fan Sui said: "In the current situation, if Zhao and Chu join forces to attack Daqin, the situation will be rather difficult."

King Qin thought for a while and said, "What should Yinghou think the widow should do?"

Fan Sui said: "I think the best way is to drag Qi into the water.

There is also a deep grievance between Qi and Chu. When Chu State took advantage of the internal turmoil in Qi, it occupied Judu and has not returned it so far. Perhaps this matter can be used to move the king of Qi. "

"Once Qi State is able to start a war against Chu State from the east, Chencheng, the capital of Chu State, will be seriously threatened, and Chu State will have to use its main forces to deal with Qi State and Wei State.

In this way, Da Qin only needs to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Guo. "

King Qin thought for a while and said, "Can Da Qin defeat Zhao Guo?"

This question undoubtedly sounded quite frustrating, but all the ministers of Qin State present were silent.

Who let Zhao Guo have monsters like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?

Fan Sui showed a wry smile, and said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, I feel that judging from the current situation, Da Qin has little hope of winning against Zhao Guo alone.

However, with the help of other princes such as Han, Wei, and Yan, it is not impossible to reproduce the results of the Gaotang War. "

King Qin nodded and said, "Very good, let's continue."

Crown Prince Ying Zichu hesitated to speak.

King Qin noticed this, and said to Ying Zi, "Just say what you have to say."

Ying Zichu hurriedly said: "Father, I feel that Zhao Guo is in full swing, and Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's military talents are well known in the world. It is really not a good time to start a war with Zhao Guo."

King Qin sighed, and looked at Ying Zichu with some disappointment: "Zi Chu, don't you understand?

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is less than 30 years old now, and his life expectancy is at least 30 to 30 years. Could it be that Daqin can only avoid Wu Xinjun and Zhao Guo in these [-] to [-] years?

And even if Daqin didn't go to deal with Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo would also take the initiative to come to him. Otherwise, why would Wu Xinjun make a covenant with Chu to jointly attack Daqin when he was on an envoy to Chu? "

As King Qin spoke, his face became more serious and determined: "Instead of waiting for Zhao Guo to call, it is better to take some action first!"

Ying Zichu went back to his prince's mansion sullenly, and found Lu Buwei.

"Mr. Lu, my father refuses to listen to my opinion, what should I do?"

At this time, Ying Zichu had [-]% trust in Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei frowned, and thought for a while before saying: "Don't worry, the prince, the king can make such a decision, naturally he has his own considerations."

Lu Buwei comforted Ying Zichu, and when Ying Zichu left, Lu Buwei went to find Mao Sui.

"Mr. Mao Sui, Qin State has now contacted Wei State, South Korea, and Yan State, and is planning to bring Qi State over and start a war against the Zhao-Chu Alliance. Please quickly pass this information back to Handan to the Lord."

Mao Sui looked at Lu Buwei quietly for a few seconds, and said, "Okay."

The news was sent back to Handan a few days later and appeared on Zhao Kuo's table case.

Zhao Kuo looked at the information and smiled.

"This king of Qin is really decisive." Zhao Kuo had made an alliance with the king of Chu as early as more than a year ago, and agreed to attack Qin together.

But then things got twists and turns. First, the queen mother denied Zhao Kuo’s opinion and insisted on letting Lian Po attack Qi. Then the battle of Gaotang was defeated, and Zhao Kuo saved the field in the battle of Lingqiu. It’s been a year. .

Then, the ginseng incident in the country of Yan broke out, and Zhao Kuo led another [-] cavalry to conquer the country of Yan and had just returned, and another half a year had passed.

Zhao Kuo said to himself: "It seems that it is time to make a suggestion in the next court meeting, and list Qin as the target of conquest next year."

If there is any country that Zhao Kuo has always been afraid of, then this country must be Qin.

Even though Zhao Kuo has defeated Qin State so many times, Zhao Kuo's vigilance against Qin State is still there all the time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but said, "Uncle Xu, how is Zhao Ji's child doing now?"

Since Qin and Zhao haven't fought in the past two years, the relationship is still good, and in addition, Zhao Guo didn't want to be "backstabbed" by Qin in the previous war, so the Queen Mother Zhao had already responded to Qin's request and sent Qin to Qin. Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng's mother and son were sent away by Prince Ying's son Chu's family members who were stranded in Handan City.

Xu Li replied respectfully: "According to Junhou's order, on the way to send Zhao Ji back, our people pretended to be robbers and snatched the child away, and now he is raising her in the mansion."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Very well, this child needs to be raised well, he is a little older than Qian'er, right?"

Xu Li said: "Just four years old, but please rest assured, my lord, a child of this age can't remember anything."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "How about this, let him be called Benhou's nephew to the outside world, and he will be treated as well as Qian'er. Let him grow up with Qian'er Menger, so that he can be a playmate."

Xu Li was obviously taken aback when he heard this.

Yiying's treatment is comparable to that of Zhao Qian, the eldest son of Wuxinjun's family, which undoubtedly shows that Zhao Kuo attaches great importance to Yingzheng.

Could it be that 1 thoughts suddenly popped up in Xu Li's mind, but in the end he just nodded respectfully and said, "Here."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Since he is Tang's nephew, I can't call him Ying Zheng anymore, let's call him Zhao Zheng."

Chapter 345 The minister believes that Qin should be attacked

This is also the best arrangement Zhao Kuo can think of.

It is actually not impossible to kill him directly, but from Zhao Kuo's point of view, it is really unbearable to directly kill this child who knows his outstanding talents.

But it would be even worse to let it go to Qin, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

So Zhao Kuo decided to keep this child under his nose, watch him grow up, and teach him to be an adult.

In the future, this child will still be able to contribute to Huaxia, but this kind of contribution will not be the way of "King Qin sweeping Liuhe" in history.
