Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

When King Zhao returned to the bedroom, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

The hall was very quiet, and all kinds of familiar objects were placed, which made King Zhao couldn't help but think of the time when he was with the Queen Mother and his mother was kind and his son was filial.

I have to say that although the queen mother is very strict with Zhao Wang many times, her love for Zhao Wang is also from the heart.

It's a pity that Zhao Wang knew very well in his heart that he should never go back to such a situation.

Thinking of Zhao Wang here, he suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, and pushed everything on the table to the ground.

After venting, King Zhao finally raised his head and said coldly to the eunuch Ling in front of him, "The order is sent out, saying that the widow is going to marry a new queen. Let's see if there is any suitable partner outside!"

Yes, this King Zhao suddenly wants to start a family.

Chapter 725 Let's See How You, Zhao Kuo Play With Me

"Does Your Majesty actually want to start a family?"

When he heard this, Zhao Kuo's expression was somewhat surprised.

After all, in theory, the current Zhao Wang is not yet an adult.

However, in this era, it is not a big news that noble men get married before they reach adulthood, and it is quite common.

Several of Zhao Kuo's confidants naturally have their own ideas about this.

Xu Li thought for a while and said, "My lord, maybe we can find a way to marry our own people into the palace and become the king's queen.

In this way, we have someone who can speak for us by the king's side, which is also of great benefit to the future. "

Not long after he was released, Guo Zong seemed to have recovered completely although some of his wounds had not healed.

After thinking for a while, Guo Zong said, "And we have to beware of Mr. Pingyang.

It is said that Mrs. Pingyang Jun's natal Wu family has several daughters who are just at the right age for marriage. If Ping Yang Jun and the king are married, it will be a big trouble for us. "

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said to the two confidantes in front of him: "No, you are all thinking wrong, I don't plan to participate in the selection of the king this time, we just need to quietly watch the final result That's it."

For Zhao Kuo, he knew very well that he would definitely pull King Zhao from the throne in the future. Since this is the case, then Zhao Kuo felt that there was no need to specially arrange for an innocent woman to go to King Zhao, because this It is not an honor for this woman, but it will only make her fall into the pain of the rest of her life in the future.

Xu Li was a little anxious when he heard it, and couldn't help but said to Zhao Kuo: "But if our lord doesn't come forward, the queen position this time may be taken away by that old guy Pingyang Jun."

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Xu Li: "Sometimes, if a person becomes rich suddenly, he may not really become a rich man, but will only become rich in a short period of time. These family properties are completely ruined. This is the so-called the higher you stand, the more painful you fall.

Lord Pingyang has endured for so many years, and finally won the position of Xiangbang of the Great Zhao Kingdom. If he becomes the old man of the Great King again, how proud do you think he will be?

I just want Mr. Pingyang to continue to be so proud, the more proud the better! "

For a person, progress is of course a very great success, but at the same time it will also bring countless flattery and flattery.

Some people can stick to their hearts in this, and can overcome and continue to move forward, but some people tend to get lost in this kind of flattery and become proud and complacent, and become more arrogant.

In Zhao Kuo's view, Pingyang Jun is now Zhao Guoxiang's help, and no matter how much he advances, there is no room for improvement. Under such circumstances, Pingyang Jun is more prone to this kind of complacency than anyone else.

Once a person becomes proud and complacent, he will reveal greater flaws. Now Zhao Kuo is waiting for Pingyang Jun to show such flaws, and then knocks Pingyang Jun down at the right time, just like Pingyuan Jun and Lin Xiangru .

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, several confidantes were immediately convinced and nodded in agreement.

Xu Li couldn't help but speak.

: "The lord's strategy really understands people's hearts. From the old minister's point of view, Lord Pingyang has suppressed it for so many years. He will definitely not be able to endure such a temptation. He will definitely show off all his power in a swaggering way, and let the whole world Everyone knows how powerful Zhao Guo Xiangbang is."

Guo Zong chuckled, and said: "Mr. Pingyang has always been very self-confident. I can assure you that there is an [-]% possibility that he will do what the lord envisions, and there is another [-]% possibility that he will do better than the lord imagined." Even more excessive.

At that time, all jealous eyes were on him, but his foundation was far from as deep as the Pingyuan Lord before, and Pingyang Lord's defeat was expected. "

When Guo Zong was speaking, a bit of joy inevitably flashed in his eyes.

Although it is true that Guo Zong is fine now, but some time ago, Guo Zong was not lightly tossed by Pingyang Jun among the big bosses.

Therefore, Guo Zong would definitely be the first to applaud Mr. Pingyang if he could see that Mr. Pingyang was unlucky.

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to the many confidantes in front of him: "In this case, let's not bother with this matter.

Just during this time, Mr. Pingyang is proud of the spring breeze, so let's make him more proud, let everyone, including those foreign princes, focus all their eyes on him, and let him enjoy the addiction of the focus person! "

For Zhao Kuo, he has experienced the feeling of being targeted by the public for a long time.

So Zhao Kuo doesn't want to be the target of everyone's attention at all now, and even wishes that everyone will ignore him directly, so let me, Zhao Kuo, slowly make a fortune in silence and quietly develop my own power in the country of Zhao.

Pingyang Junfu.

Lord Pingyang sat on the lord's seat, with hot eyes, and said to the few confidantes in front of him: "The news just came from the king that he intends to select a new queen in our country of Zhao, and I plan to let my wife's natal family What do you think about Wu's daughter marrying into the palace to be the queen?"

In fact, Lord Pingyang himself has two daughters who have just reached the age of marriage, but there is a rule among nobles in this era that the same surname is not married, and Lord Pingyang, as the uncle of King Zhao, cannot violate this rule.

Regarding Pingyang Jun's words, several confidantes in front of him naturally expressed their agreement.

.

"Jun Hao is really right in doing this. If we don't try our best to fight for the position of the queen, maybe Wu Xinjun will start to attack."

"That's right, Pang Qing, Wu Xinjun's ally, has quite a few granddaughters, and they are said to be quite good-looking.

If their daughter wins the queen's position and blows pillow wind around the king every day, then we will be in big trouble. "

"Also, in order to hug the thigh of our Zhao country, other foreign princes may also want to marry the king.

So we should start as soon as possible, and get this matter done before other countries send envoys, so as not to let other countries have any chance! "

Lord Pingyang was very happy to see that these confidants had no opinion at all, and he immediately said: "Very good, since everyone thinks so, then there is no need to delay, Benhou will go to the palace tomorrow to discuss this matter with the king. thing!"

In Pingyang Jun's view, this matter is probably a sure thing.

Once married with the king, Lord Pingyang felt that his power would become more and more stable, and there was no one in the state of Zhao to shake him.

At that time, I want to see how you Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo plays with me!

Chapter 726

Spring is a season of revival of all things, but Zhao Kuo was walking in the dungeon of Handan, but what came to his face was only a cold rushing from the nasal cavity to every corner of the body.

Beside Zhao Kuo, Li Mu looked curiously at the prisoners in the next cell, while Xu Li was more vigilant, keeping his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Li Mu obviously disapproved of this: "This is Handan City!"

Xu Li smiled slightly: "This is also where Lord Pingyang worked before."

After a while, the Handan Prison official, who was leading the way with a torch, stopped in a cell in the deepest part of the dungeon, turned around and said to Zhao Kuo with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, this is the prisoner Zhao Kuo. The place where Sheng was imprisoned."

Zhao Kuo looked intently through the small window opened by the wooden prison door, and sure enough, he found a figure curled up in a corner of the dungeon, who seemed to have fallen asleep.

Zhao Kuo said to the leading officer in front of him: "Open the prison door, Benhou wants to go in and have an interview with him."

The leading officer hesitated for a moment, but he took out the key cooperatively and opened several heavy locks on the cell door.

Everyone knows that Zhao Guo's political arena is a pattern of two giants now that the king is in charge.

The officials are headed by Lord Pingyang, and the generals are respected by Lord Wu Xin. Naturally, this small prison official dare not disobey the words of Zhao Kuo, the "giant of martial arts". The officials cooperated with Wu Xinjun's actions.

As soon as the wooden cell door was opened, a strong smell of mildew and an unknown smell came to the face, and Li Muxun, who was caught off guard, subconsciously leaned back and hit his head on the wall with a bang. Let out a cry of pain.

Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile and walked into the cell.

The official behind him followed closely and hung the torch on the wall of the cell, instantly brightening the entire cell.

The sudden bright light obviously made the prisoner in the cell respond, his body moved slightly, and after a while, he slowly raised his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo said to the people around him: "You all go down, let me have a good talk with him."

As a result, only Zhao Kuo and the prisoner were left in the cell.

The prisoner's face was very old, and his body became rather rickety. His whole body was as dirty as if he had rolled in the mud for three hours before being fished out again, and his body was filled with a strong stench.

The prisoner stared fixedly at Zhao Kuo, as if he couldn't believe it. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's you."

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "It's me, Lord Pingyuan."

Yes, the prisoner in front of him who looks worse than an old beggar is none other than the first minister of Zhao State, Xiangbang, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, who had been famous for many years!Mr. Pingyuan laughed strangely, and said: "I thought that my heartless brother would let me slowly stink and die of old age here. It seems that I am really naive."

Zhao Kuo was silent.

After these few months, Lord Pingyuan's power has basically been divided up. Some officials under Lord Pingyuan were arrested, dismissed, and beheaded, and some chose to submit to Zhao Kuo, Lord Pingyuan, Zhou Shaofen, etc. allegiance.

Now that Mr. Pingyuan no longer has any influence, his death will not cause any turmoil in Zhao State.

Therefore, the time of his death has come naturally.

Tomorrow is the day when Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, and Le Cheng will be beheaded in the street!After a while, Zhao Kuo said: "Frankly speaking, I didn't expect Jun Hou that your life here would be so difficult."

The prison is under the control of Sikou, and the previous Sikou was Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao. Although Zhou Shaofen has taken over as Sikou, the cases related to Pingyuan Jun, Lin Xiangru and Le Cheng are still firmly controlled by Pingyang Jun, and Zhao Kuo is not easy to intervene.

Of course, even if Zhao Kuo were to be in charge of this matter, Zhao Kuo would not let Mr. Pingyuan survive, but at least he would not make it so dishonorable.

Lord Pingyang, Lord Pingyang, the Lord Pingyuan in front of you is also a veteran of the four dynasties of Zhao Kingdom, the pillar of the royal family, and your own brother. Why do you have to do this?

After so many years of relationship, could it be that Mr. Pingyuan couldn't even get on the road happily in the end?

Zhao Kuo really couldn't understand what Pingyang Jun did.

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Your Honor, do you have any other wishes?

If it can be achieved, I will try my best to help you achieve it. "

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a while, and said, "Are my children all right?"

Zhao Kuo's face was a bit unbearable, but he still said: "All the sons are dead, and there are three grandsons who are alive, and they were dispatched to Mobei together with the sons."

Mr. Pingyuan visibly shook his body, and after a while he showed a miserable smile: "Okay, what a Mr. Pingyang Zhao Bao! After all, he is a brother of the same father as the old man. Why did he treat the old man's family so cruelly? Don't care about this brotherhood!"

Zhao Kuo did not speak, because this question was not for Zhao Kuo to answer.

Mr. Pingyuan coughed violently.

Zhao Kuo clearly saw that a little bit of bright red slowly appeared on the dirty neckline of Mr. Pingyuan's chest.

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Mr. Pingyuan on the back, but the other party also extended his hand and firmly refused.

Mr. Pingyuan panted, and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, I know that although you are also good at calculating, no matter Yu Xin, Lian Po or others, you have never continued to harm your family after defeating your political opponents.

So I beg you, I beg you to save the lives of these poor descendants of this old man.

The old man doesn't want them to return to the title, the old man only hopes that you can let them live well as commoners, is that okay? "

With a plop, Mr. Pingyuan knelt down towards Zhao Kuo, throwing himself to the ground.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help being moved when he saw this.

Speaking of it, the relationship between Mr. Pingyuan and Zhao Kuo is actually very complicated.

The two had been allies for a long time, but later became neutral or even hostile to each other because of various things. It can be said that they are both enemies and friends.

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Your Honor, if I didn't want to, I wouldn't be here today.

Don't worry, unless the king personally orders your descendants to be killed, otherwise I will help you save their lives. "

This is not a kind of stupidity.

You are proud today, you killed the entire family of your political opponents.

What about later?

No family can continue to be brilliant from generation to generation. If you don't give others a way out when you are proud, then when new enemies appear, when new enemies succeed, what awaits your children and grandchildren will be full of murder!To give others a way out is to give your own descendants a way out!This is the aristocratic demeanor!

Chapter 727 Lin Xiangru's Last Side

Zhao Kuo left Jun Pingyuan's cell, leaving behind a jug of Zhao's best wine.

Walking out of the cell, Zhao Kuo said indifferently to the respectful officials in front of him: "Although Zhao Sheng, Lin Xiangru, and Le Cheng are imperial prisoners, after all, they have made outstanding contributions to Da Zhao before.

Their mistakes are irreparable, but their contributions are equally irreversible.

I don't know who you are, but their lives are counting down, tell your superiors, give them one last bit of decency. "

The prison official naturally responded obsequiously, and then asked: "Do you want to go to the other two's cells?"

Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment, but said, "Go."

A moment later, Zhao Kuo appeared in front of Lin Xiangru's cell again.

Compared with Mr. Yuan Yuan, although Lin Xiangru was also very embarrassed and tattered, his spirit was unexpectedly strong, and he even took the initiative to say hello to Zhao Kuo.

"Wu Xinjun, this old man knew you would definitely come."
