Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But in fact, the Empress Dowager had given Lin Xiangru and Le Cheng enough favor and face in that matter, otherwise Lian Jing would have been killed long ago, and Le Qi would naturally only be recorded in history as the leader of the defeated army.

Now Le Cheng is still beeping here, so it's not just looking for trouble.

The queen mother waved her hand and said, "Let's keep this memorial, there is no need to reply."

This is the Queen Mother's attitude, you just put up the memorial, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.

Originally, this incident seemed to have come to an end like this, but an unexpected turning point happened at this moment.

A trace of gloom flashed across the face of the young King Zhao. After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth and said, "Mother, I think maybe we shouldn't just let this matter end like this."

Chapter 578 Someone Behind King Zhao (Part [-])

Zhao Wang's words made the temperature in the hall seem to drop a lot.

The queen mother opened her eyes in amazement, and she didn't feel any drowsiness at all: "My lord, why do you say that?"

King Zhao summoned up his courage, and said: "Didn't my mother always think that Wu Xinjun's tail was too big to lose?

Now that he is leaving the center, he can just take the opportunity to suppress his power, which is also a good thing for Da Zhao. "

The queen mother laughed: "If my son has anything to say, just talk to the queen mother directly."

Zhao Wang nodded, and said seriously: "My mother has been suppressing Wu Xinjun these years, but it seems that it has not achieved any results. My son thinks that this is because Wu Xinjun's combat achievements are indeed shining, and on the other hand, Wu Xinjun's ability is quite strong. outstanding.

I feel that since Wu Xinjun cannot be discredited from his military exploits and abilities, why can't he be discredited from his personal reputation?

Wu Xinjun's temperament has always been very hot, and the previous conflicts with Yu Xin, Han Xuwei and even Le Cheng and others all illustrate this point.

So we might as well use his temperament to make a fuss, take this time's view of the Xiongnu's building capital as a starting point, and use the power of Le Cheng to attack Wu Xinjun's reputation.

It may be difficult to shake Wu Xinjun's reputation once or twice, but if it can be done for a long time, it will definitely make Wu Xinjun's reputation slowly deteriorate. After a long time, won't Wu Xinjun be beaten by everyone in the big Zhao?

At that time, it will be very easy to get rid of Wu Xinjun. "

King Zhao finished the long speech in one breath, then bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, and said: "It's just my son's little opinion, and I ask the Queen Mother to give me some pointers."

The queen mother was really surprised at this moment, she was speechless after looking at King Zhao for a while.

After a while, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face appeared again: "Okay, very good.

Unexpectedly, my son can have such an idea now, it really makes the queen mother happy. "

After all, King Zhao was a young man, he couldn't help but feel happy when he received his mother's praise, and said with a smile: "Mother, are you right?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "This matter is of great importance. The queen mother still needs to think about it carefully. I will reply you in a few days."

King Zhao snorted, obviously disappointed, but he didn't continue to say anything.

After a while, King Zhao put down the last memorial, then saluted the Queen Mother, and then left the hall.

The moment King Zhao stepped out of the palace, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared instantly.

"get out."

The Queen Mother said suddenly.

A figure quickly appeared in front of the empress dowager, and then knelt down, it was the eunuch Ling with a face of sincerity and fear.

The Empress Dowager stared at the eunuch Ling with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Who is it?"

The eunuch said in panic: "I don't know, I'm guilty, please punish the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "You have three days to find out this matter. If after three days you still don't know who is instigating Your Majesty behind the scenes, then you can go back to your hometown."

The eunuch order was obedient, and then left quickly.

The Empress Dowager shook her head, watching the wind and snow outside the gate of the palace, a few traces of frost flashed across her charming face.

"My son has not yet been in charge, are these people so impatient?"

When the young King Zhao returned to the palace, he felt his heart was still beating non-stop.

For a long time, everyone has been respectful and respectful to King Zhao, and they have treated King Zhao as the monarch who ruled the country of Zhao, but King Zhao cannot give orders, and even cannot make any decisions that affect the country.

Of course King Zhao knew it was because he was still young and hadn't really been in charge of the government yet, but this feeling of dislocation was still tearing at his heart, reminding him that you are just a king in name only.

When Zhao Wang was a child, he could feel this feeling, but he was helpless to everything in front of him.

Now that he has become a teenager, an inexplicable impulse has awakened in his body. He feels that he is mature enough to try to solve some things that his mother has always been afraid of but can't do anything about.

For example, his former childhood idol, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo.

After gathering his mind, King Zhao said slowly, "Come here."

A court servant appeared and knelt respectfully in front of King Zhao.

Zhao Wang said excitedly: "You go out of the palace immediately to inform Lord Pingyang, and say that I have found a chance to tell the queen about his previous suggestion!"

That night, looking at the court servant in front of him, Lord Pingyang Zhao Bao smiled.

For a long time, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao was actually an unobtrusive minister of Zhao Guo.

But actually?

As a Sikou, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao ranks second only to Xiangbang Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng among Zhao Guo's civil officials, and is still higher than Wenxin Jun Lin Xiangru who is an internal historian.

It's just that most people's eyes are actually focused on the three giants, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Wu Xin Jun Zhao Kuo, and Wen Xin Jun Lin Xiangru, which virtually makes Pingyang Jun a supporting role.

This made Mr. Pingyang a little dissatisfied.

Jun Pingyang waited patiently, wanting to find an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to change the situation of this supporting role.

Finally, the opportunity came.

Under the appointment of the queen mother, Pingyang Jun became the teacher responsible for teaching the political experience of the young King Zhao.

Is there anything that can influence the government more easily than influencing the king?

Lord Pingyang said kindly to the servant in front of the palace: "Go back and tell the king, just say that the old minister is grateful for the help of the king, and the old minister will do his best to find a way to help the king get rid of the scourge of Wu Xinjun!"

Watching the servant lead the order to leave, the smile on Pingyang Jun's face became more and more intense.

The next day, Pingyang Jun invited his half-brother Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng to have a banquet in his mansion.

When two big men drink together, it is inevitable that there will be romance, and then it will be a military affairs.

Mr. Pingyuan put down the wine he had just finished drinking, and said with emotion: "Mr. Wu Xin's defeat of the Xiongnu is actually not surprising for my brother.

What do you think the Huns are, only the idiots taught by Le Cheng and Lian Po can lose to the Huns, wasting tens of thousands of our elite Zhao! "

After scolding Lian Po, Le Cheng and the other two, Pingyuan Jun who was in a good mood continued: "It's just that Wu Xin Jun's matter of building the Beijing Temple is indeed too violent, even my brother is a little creepy when he hears it. ah.

This person is indeed worthy of being a famous general in the world, even his acting style is so unexpected! "

Mr. Pingyang listened quietly to Mr. Pingyuan's words, and only then did he speak unhurriedly: "To tell you the truth, brother, I just got the news that Da Sima Lecheng just published a memorial to attack Mr. Wu Xinjun's title, dismiss Wu Xinjun's official position."

Mr. Pingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "It's thanks to him for daring to think about this Le Cheng.

It would be great if Wu Xinjun could be brought down so easily! "

Pingyang Jun said lightly: "Brother, I think that with the power of Le Cheng, of course, Wu Xin Jun cannot be defeated, but what if we add the power of you and me?"

Chapter 579 Brother, get rid of Wu Xinjun! (Second more)

After Pingyang Jun finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Mr. Pingyuan looked at Mr. Pingyang incredulously, and said, "You want to deal with Mr. Wu Xin?"

Jun Pingyang smiled gently and said, "Why is brother so surprised?

Didn't we fight Lin Xiangru before, and deal with Wu Xinjun? "

The drunkenness on Mr. Pingyuan's face completely disappeared, and he looked at Mr. Pingyang very seriously: "Our behavior before can only be said to have cheated Mr. Wu Xin, but you are speaking in such a tone that you want to defeat Mr. Wu Xin in one fell swoop. Right?"

Lord Pingyang nodded calmly, and said: "Brother is really clever, he understood my mind right away."

Mr. Pingyuan put down the wine cup heavily, and the bottom of the golden cup collided with the wooden table, making a crisp sound: "It's a nonsense! Although Mr. Wu Xin needs to be moderately suppressed, Lin Xiangru is our real enemy. If we join hands with Lin Xiangru to eliminate If Wu Xinjun is killed, it will be Lin Xiangru who will really benefit, not us!"

Pingyang Jun's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "What brother said was in the past.

At that time, Wu Xinjun still obeyed your and my orders, even if he was a bit out of line occasionally, he was basically still in control.

But now?

The current Wu Xinjun no longer puts you and me in his eyes at all. He colluded with Pang Nuan and openly wanted to become a pole of his own.

Wake up, brother, we are no longer allies with Wu Xinjun! "

Mr. Pingyuan's face was ugly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Looking at Mr. Pingyuan with a troubled face, Mr. Pingyang suddenly asked a question: "Brother, how old are you this year?"

Mr. Pingyuan thought for a while, and said, "Fifty is four."

Lord Pingyang nodded and said: "Brother Yu is more than a year younger than my elder brother, and he is also 53 years old now.

Brother, do you know Lin Xiangru's age? "

Mr. Pingyuan frowned and said: "Mr. Wen Xin is much older than us, but I don't know the exact age, he should be in his 60s.

Why are you asking this? "

Pingyang Jun smiled slightly, and said: "Brother, haven't you seen it yet?

Lin Xiang is now sixty, you and my brother are both over fifty, past the age of knowing the destiny, maybe sometime you will go underground to follow the elder brother.

Looking at the other ministers, Le Cheng is in his early forties, Zhou Shaofen is nearly fifty, and Pang Nuan is about the same age as Lin Xiangru. Only Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has just turned thirty, and is at least one generation younger than everyone else. Even two generations! "

The "generation" of this era usually refers to 15 years old, not 20 years old as later generations are used to.

Mr. Pingyuan frowned, as if he understood something: "What do you mean?" Mr. Pingyang took a deep breath and said, "My brother Yu's meaning is very simple, that is, compared to us, Zhao Kuo has an obvious age advantage.

If I wait until after my death, the political circle of Great Zhao can only respect him! "

Mr. Pingyuan snorted, and said disapprovingly: "Mr. Wu Xin's ability and qualifications are here. It is only natural that he will be the Great Zhao Xiangbang in the future. Besides, you and I will have died long ago, so why should we be afraid?"

Lord Pingyang said solemnly: "But Zhao Kuo's appointment as Xiangbang will definitely be detrimental to the king. I am afraid that what happened to Fengyang Lord Li Dui will repeat itself!"

"Li Dui?"

Hearing this name, Mr. Pingyuan's expression changed immediately.

Decades ago, the famous "Sand Dune Palace Rebellion" took place in the state of Zhao. The elder brother of the two, King Zhao Huiwen, who was still a young man at the time, was held up for a long time.

At that time, Li Dui was in power, and he could almost be said to be the uncrowned king of Zhao.

It was not until King Zhao Huiwen became an adult that the wise monarch finally drove away Li Dui in one fell swoop with the support of Han Xuwei, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and other ministers, and regained power with the support of his two younger brothers Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun .

Both of them were witnesses to this period of history, so they were naturally impressed.

But soon Mr. Pingyuan regained his composure, and said rather disapprovingly: "Do you think Mr. Wu Xin has any chance to become Li Dui?

impossible.

Even if we die, won't there be new ministers who will be promoted?

Besides, at that time, Li Dui was able to seize power while his elder brother was underage. Now the king still has five or six years to come of age.

After the king becomes an adult, is he still afraid of these things?

What's more, there is the queen mother looking after her!Brother, you worry too much. "

Faced with Mr. Pingyuan's disapproval, Mr. Pingyang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, without any shame or embarrassment, instead he said something that Mr. Pingyuan could not answer.

"Of course what my brother said is true, but the problem is that Mr. Wu Xinjun is not very human, and fate will not necessarily go according to what you and I planned.

Brother dare to ask, what if you and my brothers, Lin Xiangru, Pang Nuan, Zhou Shaofen and even Le Cheng all died within the few years when the king was underage?

By that time, could the queen mother and the king's orphan and widow still be Zhao Kuo's opponents? "

These words fell like a bolt of lightning, directly making Mr. Pingyuan stunned.

After a long while, Mr. Pingyuan smiled reluctantly and said, "How could such a coincidence happen?"

Mr. Pingyang shook his head, and said solemnly: "There are indeed very few coincidences that happened to other people, but the coincidence that happened to Mr. Wu Xinjun, brother, after so many wars, you really think that things that don't happen to other people will happen to Mr. Wu Xinjun." Surely it won't happen to me?"

Mr. Pingyuan was speechless again.

Indeed, Zhao Kuo has always been synonymous with miracles!However, Mr. Pingyuan still wanted to struggle: "No, the probabilities you mentioned are still too small, so small that they can be ignored!"

Jun Pingyang laughed, and emphasized his tone: "Brother, the probability of what I said is really very small, but please don't forget our identities, you and I are both descendants of the Dazhao royal family, the closest kind! If it is true Because of your and my negligence, Wu Xinjun will become the second Li Dui in the future, how will we face the former king under the nine springs when we die in the future?"

Mr. Pingyuan slapped the table heavily with a bang, and roared angrily, "Stop talking! Enough!"
