Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

No matter who wins, Da Chu will not lose money or even earn blood. Why don't we do this? "

The king of Chu thought about it carefully, and it was true, so he smiled and said: "Very well, it is not too late, and immediately send an envoy to Handan to secretly ask Lin Xiangru to see him!"

Not only Qin and Chu, but also the kings of Han, Wei, Yan, Qi and other countries, after hearing about the sudden fierce struggle among Zhao, they all adopted various forms to mobilize The power in Zhao Guozhong wants to make this political struggle more intense!Among them, the thoughts of most of the princes and ministers can be summed up in six words.

I hope Zhao Kuo has an accident.

Chapter 688 The struggle began to become fierce

Zhao Kuo didn't think anything would happen to him.

In fact, Zhao Kuo's fierce counterattack has already started.

A large number of officials from many local counties and counties in Zhao State and many central agencies in Handan wrote letters one after another. On the one hand, they loudly complained about Zhao Kuo, and on the other hand, they launched crazy criticisms against Lin Xiangru.

This momentum was so spectacular that even Zhao Kuo himself was taken aback.

"Hey, so this Marquis actually already has such a powerful force?"

Faced with Zhao Kuo's question, Xu Li also nodded with a smile: "Yes, you indeed have such a powerful force now."

The reason why Zhao Kuo's influence is so strong that even he himself is unexpected is that there is actually a very crucial point in Zhao Guoxue Palace.

Since Zhao Guoxue Palace opened a mountain and erected a monument, Zhao Kuo's "Four Sentences of Wu Xin" has become the creed in the hearts of generations of scholars.

In addition, Xun Kuang, the highest leader of the academy, is Zhao Kuo's diehard. Li Si and Han Fei, two of Zhao Kuo's confidants, are also closely related to the legalists in the academy. In addition, they are basically Zhao Kuo's private school. The Mohists, the three most prestigious factions in the school are all Zhao Kuo's hardcore.

This situation has also led to the fact that [-]% to [-]% of the scholars who graduate from the academy each year either consider themselves "Mr. Wu Xin's disciples" or think that "Mr. Wu Xin is a model for our generation."

A few years have passed, and these scholars also took advantage of Zhao's continuous expansion, and began to flex their muscles to get promoted and make a fortune.

So the question is, who made Zhao Guo able to expand successfully all the time?

The answer is still Zhao Kuo.

It is equivalent to saying that these people owe Zhao Kuo another kindness invisibly.

So when Zhao Kuo's counterattack came, many officials who usually seemed to be very neutral and did not join Zhao Kuo's faction also realized that the matter was already a life-and-death situation and wrote a memorial in order to show their support for Zhao Kuo. !After listening to Xu Li's analysis, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel emotional: "I didn't expect it to be like this.

Sure enough, people in sedan chairs carry people. "

Sometimes, you help others to improve, and others will in turn become a force to support you.

Of course, there must be many scholars and people who have been favored by Zhao Kuo choose to stand on Lin Xiangru's side, but Zhao Kuo can actually understand this.

In which world is there not a few ungrateful people?

When Ben Hou really takes power, let them know what it means to settle accounts after autumn!When Xu Li heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, I thought you would forgive them generously."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing loudly: "Forgive them?

No, no, this Marquis has never been a person who likes to forgive others.

Although the Marquis doesn't like Confucianism, he likes a sentence that Confucius said, how can I repay virtue?

Repay grievances with straightness, repay virtue with virtue! "

Confucius said very clearly that if there is resentment towards us, we will kill him directly.

Those who have kindness to us, we will also repay the kindness.

This is the right taste!On the other side, Lin Xiangru summoned two allies again.

Compared with the previous discussions, the atmosphere this time is quite heavy.

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, and said slowly: "This time, the old man made a wrong judgment. I never thought that Wu Xinjun's management over the years has made him so powerful!"

In front of Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng and Zhou Shaofen also looked solemn.

Le Cheng coughed and said, "Actually, this Marquis never thought that Zhao Kuo, a kid, would be so cunning and good at winning people's hearts, and he would win over so many people at once."

When Zhou Shaofen heard Le Cheng's words, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he changed the subject calmly: "Looking at the current situation, Mr. Wu Xin's momentum is too great, which is not good for us."

Lin Xiangru was silent for a while, and said: "It seems that the previous method is no longer feasible. It is too difficult to overwhelm Wu Xinjun from the public opinion, because he has too many supporters!"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiangru was actually a little disappointed.

But if the former Lian Po and the current Le Cheng can win more points and win more times, how can it be possible for Zhao Kuo's power to remain strong to this point?

Le Cheng had actually run out of ideas at this time, and hurriedly said, "Then what should we do now?"

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, and slowly threw out the strategy he had thought up before: "For the current plan, since our strength is not enough to fight against Wu Xinjun, then we can only find other allies!"

Lin Xiangru's words immediately made Zhou Shaofen feel sorry: "Xinjun means that we are going to find Lord Pingyuan?"

Only then did Le Cheng understand, slapped his thigh and smiled, "Yes, yes, why did you forget Mr. Pingyuan?

That guy has also targeted Zhao Kuo many times with us, presumably he will let us down this time. "

Zhou Shaofen frowned and said, "It's actually hard to say. In the past, it belonged to the cooperation of both of us to get what we need, but now it is obvious that we need Mr. Pingyuan more. Maybe he will sit on the ground and ask for some conditions that are difficult for us to accept."

This is also a common rule in the political arena. If you want something from me, then you must hand over what I want.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said: "It's already this time, how can we take care of so much?

Even if Mr. Pingyuan wanted the lion to open his mouth, the old man would admit it! "

At this time, Le Cheng suddenly laughed and said: "In fact, Mr. Ping Yuan is not necessarily the only option, have you forgotten the Queen Mother?

The queen mother is the one who really makes the final decision. As long as the queen mother can be on our side, why should Zhao Kuo fight us? "

Zhou Shaofen was slightly startled.

Not to mention, judging from the previous political battles, the Queen Mother might really be on Lin Xiangru's side.

So Zhou Shaofen tried to veto this suggestion: "Although the queen mother supported us before, this time the matter is of great importance. As the actual ruler of Da Zhao, she will probably only choose to be neutral?"

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "How can you care so much at this time, Zhou Qing.

Whether it's Mr. Pingyuan or the Queen Mother, we must defeat Mr. Wu Xin at any cost!Well, the two of you will bring our own troops with you during these times, and the old man on the side of Mr. Pingyuan and the queen mother will tell you that once there is any result, the old man will naturally notify you. "

After a while, Zhou Shaofen left Lin Xiangru's mansion in a state of anxiety, and got into the carriage to go home.

"It seems that Xinjun is really determined this time, no, I must tell Wu Xinjun immediately!"

At this time, the two key figures mentioned in the discussion just now were also having a meeting.

In the palace city of Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Sheng, Prime Minister of Zhao Kingdom Pingyuan, was worried, and said to the Queen Mother in front of him, "Queen Mother, it's time to find a way to stop the mutual attacks between Wu Xinjun and Xinjun!"

Chapter 689 The Empress Dowager's Will

The Queen Mother looked at Mr. Pingyuan with a calm expression, and said, "Why did Mr. Pingyuan say that?"

Mr. Pingyuan said seriously: "Hasn't the Queen Mother discovered that the attacks between the two of them have gone too far these days?

If things continue like this, one of them will really end up with you to the death! "

The Pingyuan Army was indeed panicked.

As the current leader of Zhao Guo's political arena, Zhao Guo's political arena is in such a mess. Many people actually have a lot of opinions on Mr. Pingyuan in their hearts, and they all hope that Mr. Pingyuan can stand up as soon as possible to solve the situation in front of him.

After all, there is a saying that is good, peace is the most important thing.

Moreover, Lord Pingyuan's power has always been no stronger than that of Lin Xiangru or Zhao Kuo. Only when the two sides are in a state of dispute, can the Pingyuan Army rely on their neutral position to make a difference.

Once the two sides really fought, Mr. Pingyuan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be that important anymore.

After listening to Mr. Pingyuan's words, the queen mother's face still did not change much, but said very calmly: "Mr. Pingyuan, don't worry, the old lady already knows about this matter, and this matter should be resolved in a few days. .”

Mr. Pingyuan was speechless when he heard the words!Such matters are not resolved simply by procrastination.

But looking at the expression on the Empress Dowager's face, Mr. Ping Yuan knew very well that the Empress Dowager probably didn't want to deal with this matter now.

This can't help but make Mr. Pingyuan a little puzzled, what exactly does the Queen Mother think?

Mr. Pingyuan had no choice but to bow his hands towards the Queen Mother and said: "The old minister will resign, and I hope that the Queen Mother can solve this matter as soon as possible, so that Da Zhao can return to peace."

After saying these words, Mr. Pingyuan left depressed.

Seeing Mr. Pingyuan's leaving figure, the queen mother was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "My lord, what do you think the queen mother should do?"

Of course, the Queen Mother's question was not about Lord Pingyuan, but King Zhao who was in the hall.

The young Zhao Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said after a while: "Mother, the widow thinks that they should continue to fight until the winner is determined."

The Empress Dowager calmly asked, "Why?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was not angry, Wang Zhao secretly rejoiced: "It seems that what you said is indeed correct, this is indeed the Queen Mother's intention!"

Zhao Wang had the bottom line in his heart, and he spoke more and more smoothly: "Mother, since Han Xu was defeated as a national teacher, there are actually no important ministers among the ministers who can be called the confidantes of our royal family.

But in the current situation, the three forces of Lord Pingyuan, Lord Wu Xin, and Lord Xin happen to stand on top of each other, and there is absolutely no chance for us to intervene.

So for the current plan, the only way to get one of them out of the game is to install our royal family's confidants as important ministers again! "

The Empress Dowager's expression became even calmer, and she said calmly: "In your opinion, which faction should be eliminated this time?"

When King Zhao heard this question, he was pleasantly surprised at first, and then fell into hesitation.

The surprise was of course because the queen mother had acquiesced that King Zhao had answered the question correctly, and the hesitation was because King Zhao really didn't know who to choose.

After thinking for a while, King Zhao finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, I think it's okay for these two to be eliminated!"

The Empress Dowager's face moved slightly, she couldn't see any joy or worry, and said: "Why?"

Zhao Wang said in a deep voice: "The trustworthy king Lin Xiangru has gone through several dynasties, and the power in the Great Zhao can be said to be intertwined. He should have been eliminated long ago, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out the exchange of blood in the Great Zhao.

As for Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, although he has not risen for a long time, he also has many years of management by his father Ma Fujun Zhao She, and now he has become the No. 1 general of Zhao, and he has the confidence to compete with Lin Xiangru.

If Lin Xiangru is a threat now, then Zhao Kuo is a threat in the future, and they are both threats, so sooner or later they must be resolved.

That being the case, it is actually acceptable for these two people to be eliminated. "

The queen mother nodded slowly, and finally showed a smile: "My lord, you have grown up."

When King Zhao heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.

This time the test passed!The queen mother said calmly: "All the ministers in the great Zhao, on the surface, are loyal to the great Zhao, but in fact, which one doesn't only have their own interests in mind?

Take Mr. Pingyuan as an example just now. Is he really coming to admonish for the stability of Dazhao's political arena?

Of course not, he just wanted to maintain Xiangbang's detached position.

And Lin Xiangru, who has always regarded himself as a capable minister for many years, but isn't all he does is forming cliques and attacking political opponents?

As for Zhao Kuo, let alone, this person is an ambitious person at all, and only by constantly suppressing him can he become more honest. "

King Zhao quietly listened to the queen mother's words, but his heart was filled with huge waves.

The three people mentioned by the queen mother are undoubtedly the leaders in Zhao's current political arena. However, from the point of view of the queen mother, these three people are almost no different from rebellious officials and thieves.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Isn't it surprising?

In fact, this is the true face of the courtier.

The reason why they are loyal to the king is not because of any loyalty, but simply because the king holds power in his hands!So ah, my good prince.

If one day you really come to the court to listen to the government, remember to firmly grasp all the power in your own hands! "

Zhao Wang hurriedly said: "Here, remember."

The queen mother waved her hand and said: "Okay, the old lady is a little tired, you go back first, let the old lady have a good rest."

Zhao Chao looked at the Queen Mother and bowed, then quickly turned around and retreated.

Seeing the leaving figure of King Zhao, the Queen Mother looked complicated, and sighed after a long time.

"It's been an eventful time.

That's all, that's all! "

In such a complicated court game, everyone who considers himself a chess player has his own ideas, and the Queen Mother is no exception.

For many years, because Zhao Wang was still young and had not grown up, the queen mother has always been quite restrained, and did not impose too much harshness and restrictions on the ministers.

But now Zhao Wang has become a teenager, and in the foreseeable future he will be in charge of the government and truly fulfill the obligations of Zhao Wang.

As the queen mother, it is time to deal with those who are likely to cause trouble to King Zhao when he is in power! "Lin Xiangru, or Zhao Kuo?"

The queen mother thought about it, and suddenly laughed.

"Who does it matter?

Wang Er has already said it, after all, they are just two disloyal people who will be eliminated sooner or later! "
