Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo looked at Yu Xin calmly.

As Zhao Kuo had always said before, it would be unfair if Yu Xin could continue to survive.

It's unfair to Zhao Kuo, who ended up being Shangqing who didn't win the position of monarch because of Yu Xin's spreading rumors.

It is unfair to the [-] Zhao soldiers who were defeated and died in the Battle of Yiyang because of Yu Xin's blind persistence.

It is unfair to the 25 Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms who could have captured Hedong and even pushed Xianyang.

Many people, including Mr. Pingyuan, have told Zhao Kuo that this is politics.

If you want to play politics, you must endure these injustices and these unspoken rules, so that you can grow up step by step and reach the end.

Zhao Kuo felt that this was wrong.

This world is not fair, some people are born to be princes, while some people are only destined to be farmers who face the loess and back to the sky all their lives.

Zhao Kuo knows that he may not have the power to change this unfair world, but he still has to stand up and take care of unfair things.

Some things have to be done.

So Zhao Kuo stood here and said something like this.

"The minister and Yu Xin are incompatible."

After saying this sentence, Zhao Kuo suddenly relaxed.

Something that had been pent up in Zhao Kuo's heart was released at this moment.

He stared at King Zhao with piercing eyes, waiting for the supreme ruler of Zhao to make the final decision.

Zhao Wang's face has turned ashen.

Before Zhao Kuo suddenly interrupted Zhao Wang, everyone could hear what Zhao Wang said, just to protect Yu Xin.

As Lord Pingyuan analyzed yesterday, as King Zhao's most trusted confidant, it is indeed impossible for Yu Xin to be dismissed by King Zhao.

But now everything is different.

Zhao Kuo has put himself on the other side of the balance.

When it comes to the degree of trust, King Zhao has far more trust in Yu Xin than Zhao Kuo.

But when it comes to the contribution to the State of Zhao, Zhao Kuo's contribution directly killed Yu Xin in two battles, the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Lichen, and the sum of a hundred Yu Xin could not compare with it. kind of.

With a bang, Mr. Pingyuan stood up against the table: "Zhao Kuo, are you crazy? You talk such nonsense in front of the king, and you still don't admit your mistake to the king!"

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo with a hint of persuasion.

After all, this prince had friendship with Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, and he was also the closest person to Zhao Kuo in the entire political arena of Zhao State.

At this time, if Zhao Kuo admits his mistake, he can actually give everyone a step down, and Mr. Pingyuan can turn around again, and everything will be in time.

Will Zhao Kuo admit his mistake?

of course not.

Looking at Mr. Pingyuan, Zhao Kuo said slowly: "Mr. Pingyuan, I am not wrong, why should I admit my mistake?"

The hall fell into silence again.

Zhao Kuo interrupted Zhao Wang's words today, refuted Mr. Pingyuan mercilessly, and did not give any face to these two people with the highest status in Zhao State.

This can only show that Zhao Kuo is serious about one thing this time!Yu Xin's face was completely pale, and this important minister of Zhao Guo cast his eyes on Lin Xiangru and Lian Po for help.

But a strange thing happened. Both Lin Xiangru and Lian Po didn't seem to notice Yu Xin's gaze. They just sat there with serious faces, staring down at the table in front of them, as if they were studying a few lines on the table. texture.

Zhao Wang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhao Kuo, what do you mean by this, what do you think this palace is, can it give you such a joke?"

Zhao Wang looked at Zhao Kuo with a cold gaze.

Zhao Kuo raised his head, straightened his chest, and looked at King Zhao without any waves in his eyes: "My lord, forgive me, let a person who has repeatedly caused losses to Great Zhao and caused countless Great Zhao soldiers to sacrifice in vain today. Being able to sit in this great hall, and even participate in Da Zhao's military and state affairs in the future, this is the biggest child's play!"

"enough!"

Zhao Wang was suddenly furious, and shouted: "Zhao Kuo, Da Zhao is the widow's Dazhao, what the widow wants to do, it's not your turn to tell the widow here!"

Zhao Kuo just looked at King Zhao quietly and didn't say any more.

There seemed to be sparks in the air.

Mr. Pingyuan took a deep breath, and said slowly again: "Zhao Kuo, what can we talk about, your way is wrong.

What do you want to do, threaten the king? "

Mr. Pingyuan still hopes that the whole matter will be reduced to a small one.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo, Yu Xin looked at Zhao Kuo, and Lin Xiangru looked at Zhao Kuo.

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo.

Everyone hopes that Zhao Kuo can back down.

As long as Zhao Kuo is willing to take a step back, then everyone can talk slowly.

What is the essence of politics, isn't it compromise and concession?

If you take a step back, I will take a step back, and everyone's deal can be concluded.

But Zhao Kuo didn't speak, not a single word.

Zhao Kuo will not retreat.

Because that's not fair.

Lian Po raised his head and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a low cough next to him, Lian Po subconsciously turned his head to look, and found his old partner Lin Xiangru shaking his head slowly.

Lian Po let out a sigh of relief, but did not speak after all.

Finally, King Zhao spoke.

"good very good.

Yu Xin! "

Yu Xin's body trembled, he quickly stood up, and said very respectfully: "The minister is here."

Zhao Wang stared at Yu Xin, and said coldly: "As an important minister of the Great Zhao, you have made major mistakes one after another, which really disappointed the widows and thousands of people of the Great Zhao! From today onwards, your title You will be demoted to lower minister, and you will be removed from your position as a lieutenant, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Yu Xin's face changed drastically, and he couldn't stand still at all, and fell directly to the ground with a bang.

Zhao Wang finally chose to remove Yu Xin from his position.

But it's not over yet.

The next moment, King Zhao's eyes turned to Zhao Kuo.

"Zhao Kuo, you are roaring at the hall, blatantly contradicting and threatening the widow, and you have no appearance of a courtier. It is really disappointing! From today on, you don't want to be your chief Sima, but let the widow stay at home and think about it behind closed doors! When did you figure it out? What? Time to come out again.

If you can't figure it out, then you won't have to come out for the rest of your life! "

Zhao Wang stared at Zhao Kuo, his eyes were full of incomparable anger.

Yu Xin, who came back to his senses, also stared at Zhao Kuo, wishing to tear Zhao Kuo into pieces.

Only Zhao Kuo laughed heartily, and cupped his hands towards King Zhao: "I obey!"

Chapter 78 Zhao Kuo, What Do You Think?

After King Zhao's decision was made, everyone in the hall had different expressions, which can be said to be mixed.

There is no doubt that this time the confrontation between Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin ended with Zhao Kuo's complete victory.

Not only was Yu Xin dismissed from his position, but his title was also demoted. It can be said that he suffered a very painful blow.

And Zhao Kuo was also punished by being dismissed and thinking behind closed doors, which seems to be the same as Yu Xin, but it is not the case.

Everyone knew that Zhao Wang wanted to protect Yu Xin at the beginning, but he was forced to change his opinion after Zhao Kuo's heavy blow.

If it is explained from the perspective of war, Zhao Kuo paid a heavy price, but in the end he succeeded in achieving his goal.

That's why Zhao Kuo is laughing, but Yu Xin is really like a concubine.

This court meeting is over.

At the gate of the main hall, Zhao Kuo was stopped by Mr. Pingyuan.

Mr. Pingyuan's complexion was very complicated, and he looked at Zhao Kuo as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Zhao Kuo, you paid such a high price just to overthrow Yu Xin, is it worth it?"

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile: "Of course it's worth it, because it's fair."

Yes, fair.

Yu Xin has already paid enough for what he did wrong, this is fairness.

Mr. Pingyuan said slowly, "But what price did you pay?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Political struggles are just like fighting wars. There is no war where you can defeat a powerful enemy unscathed, right?"

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, you go back and think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, come to Benhou, and Benhou will help you to intercede with the king."

Zhao Kuo arched his hands and said, "Then thank you very much."

After saying this, Zhao Kuo turned and left.

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao stood beside Pingyuan Jun, watched Zhao Kuo leave, and suddenly asked Pingyuan Jun a question: "Brother, do you think Zhao Kuo will figure it out and give in to the king?"

Mr. Pingyuan said lightly: "Of course it will. Zhao Guo is the king's Zhao country. No one can defy King Zhao. Everyone must submit to the king, and Zhao Kuo is of course no exception."

Lord Pingyang nodded, but suddenly said: "Zhao Kuo is a bully, maybe he will have to wait a long time to figure it out."

Mr. Pingyuan snorted, and said, "It's been a long time, so I won't cause more trouble for the Marquis!"

Yu Xin was walking alone in a daze when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

Yu Xin raised his head and found that it was Zhao Kuo. He was shocked and paled. With a scream, he stepped on the ground and rolled down the steps. He rolled all the way to the bottom of the steps.

Zhao Kuo: "" Yu Xin fell in a mess, and it took several seconds to get up in embarrassment. He gave Zhao Kuo a very resentful look, and then ran away quickly.

An old and calm voice sounded behind Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Qing, you have already defeated Yu Qing, why should you humiliate him like this?"

Zhao Kuo turned around and met Lin Xiangru's eyes.

Lian Po was still standing beside Lin Xiangru.

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Actually, I just want to tell him to do things well in the future and stop playing tricks on me."

Lian Po suddenly said, "What if he doesn't?"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and then said very seriously: "Then I can only kill him."

Lian Po stared at Zhao Kuo coldly: "Zhao Kuo, you were punished just now, and now you still dare to say such outrageous words, do you really think that my Great Zhao has no kingly law?"

Zhao Kuo also looked at Lian Po, and said lightly: "Whoever wants to kill me with a conspiracy, I will kill him, isn't that fair, General Lian Po?

Also, you know how you came to be a prince, don't show such old qualifications in front of me, because you don't have the qualifications. "

Lian Po was furious, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Lin Xiangru: "General, let's go."

Strange to say, Lian Po has always had a fiery temper all his life, but Lin Xiangru is the only one who can stop him on the verge of eruption.

After hearing Lin Xiangru's words, Lian Po snorted heavily, and left with Lin Xiangru.

After walking for a long time, Lian Po couldn't help but whispered to Lin Xiangru: "Lin Qing, why did you stop the old man just now?"

Lin Xiangru sighed and said, "Don't you think Zhao Kuo looks a bit like you when you were young?"

Lian Po was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: "Although the old man was reckless when he was young, he never contradicted the king so recklessly as he did."

Lin Xiangru joked: "That's because you didn't make such great achievements at a young age like him."

Lian Po raised his brows, but he didn't refute. After a few seconds, he said: "Then above the main hall, why don't you let the old man speak for Yu Xin?"

Lin Xiangru paused, and said, "Because when Zhao Kuo spoke, the old man already knew that Yu Xin would definitely lose."

There was obvious doubt on Lian Po's face.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said, "Zhao Kuo is too strong, too capable of fighting.

Zhao Guo can live without Yu Xin, but it absolutely cannot live without Zhao Kuo. This is the reason. "

Lian Po raised his eyebrows again, but this time he still couldn't refute.

How to refute?
