Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

"Before, Mr. Pingyang, you were completely suppressed by Mr. Wu Xin. At that time, there was no hope of following you, so we naturally left.

But the situation is different now, you once again overwhelmed Wu Xinjun, and following you has become a promising thing, so we will naturally come back. "

After hearing this sentence, Lord Pingyang couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't drive these diners away, on the contrary, he generously gave these diners more generous treatment than other diners.

After this incident got out, it immediately caused a great shock among the Ranger Sheren in Handan City.

These rangers rushed to report, thinking that Lord Pingyang could reuse even those who betrayed him back then, so those who have never betrayed him now will naturally gain more trust from Lord Pingyang.

As a result, more and more people went to Pingyang Jun's mansion to seek refuge.

In general, things are obviously moving in a direction that is beneficial to Mr. Pingyang.

After Lian Po's class teacher returned to the court, Lord Pingyang's momentum reached its peak in an instant.

This time Lian Po settled Liaodong for the sake of Zhao Guoping. Although he did not go further to destroy Jizi North Korea, anyway, he finally nailed the last nail on Yan Guo's coffin firmly.

So Lian Po also received a very high standard interview from King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo stood quietly on his carriage, watching Lian Po who was returning to the palace with King Zhao not far away, his expression was as calm as ever.

During this period of time, Zhao Kuo has actually been so calm. Many people think that Zhao Kuo's calmness is showing weakness and waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

There are also many people who think that Zhao Kuo has actually resigned to his fate. Zhao Kuo has no room to fight back for the time being, and can only watch Pingyang Jun sit up again.

Although Zhao Kuo was very calm, Lord Pingyang didn't want to be peaceful at all.

Lord Pingyang's carriage was right next to Zhao Kuo, so Lord Pingyang said to Zhao Kuo provocatively, "Mr. Wu Xin doesn't know how you feel when you look at this scene?"

The meaning of Mr. Ping'an is also very simple. Back then, this situation was exclusive to you, Zhao Kuo, but now, you, Zhao Kuo, can only watch others enjoy the honor.

Faced with Pingyang Jun's provocation, a group of ministers around him immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to see how Zhao Kuo would respond.

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Pingyang, when you have already enjoyed the highest treatment and stood at the top, do you still mind the little ants under your feet?

I have experienced many things too many times, and it is completely ancient.

But for some people, he lacks such experience, as if he is a bumpkin who just came to Handan, wanting to show off to others when he does something, it is simply ridiculous.

Besides, no matter how dazzling this glory is, it is the matter of Lian Po Da Sima, and what does it have to do with you Pingyang Jun? "

This sentence was like a loud slap in the face of Pingyang Jun, which made Pingyang Jun's face change drastically.

Although Zhao Kuo's words are very ugly, they are indeed true.

Zhao Kuo has enjoyed this kind of glory too many times in the past, but as for Lian Po, the number of times Lian Po has enjoyed this kind of glory is very few.

More importantly, Lian Po is the real recipient of this honor, not Lord Pingyang.

Pingyang Jun's logic is like "I know a very good friend, so I am also very good."

Generally speaking, this kind of friends who are used to brag are indeed very good, but this kind of good has nothing to do with these people who pull the tiger's skin as a banner.

So after Zhao Kuo's voice fell, the people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In the past period of time, Mr. Pingyang was proud of his spring breeze, and many things he did were unavoidably out of line, and this out of line was naturally conveyed in the current burst of laughter.

These roars of laughter were like slaps slapped by an individual, making Mr. Pingyang even more ashamed.

Lord Pingyang snorted heavily, and said, "It's ridiculous logic, I don't bother to share my knowledge with you."

After a while, the convoy arrived at the Ancestral Temple of the State of Zhao. The King of Zhao entered the Ancestral Temple of the State of Zhao with Lian Po, and returned the ax and the talisman.

Then it was time to announce the rewards for Lian Po. This time King Zhao was also very generous, giving Lian Po a lot of rewards that sounded dazzling.

It's just that Zhao Kuo has already received these rewards for countless times, so Zhao Kuo is also very calm here.

I thought it was over like this, but at this moment.

Jun Pingyang spoke suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Great Sima Lian Po has made great contributions to Zhao Guoli this time, and won two consecutive victories in the same year, which can be said to have completely washed away the shame of ineffective combat before.

So the old minister felt that it was time to restore Lian Po's great general Wu Xiangjun's title. I don't know what the king thinks? "

For Mr. Pingyang, he just lost face, so he is always in urgent need of a way to regain his position. Helping Lian Po restore his title is undoubtedly a very important way to find his position.

After Zhao Wang heard this sentence, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He was about to answer just now, but another voice sounded ahead of time.

"Your Majesty, I object to this proposal."

The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Kuo.

Chapter 871

Zhao Kuo's words were very calm and powerful, and they spread into everyone's eardrums in an instant.

It takes a lot of courage to oppose Lian Po on this occasion, even for Zhao Kuo, so everyone looked at Zhao Kuo with shock.

Even Lian Po himself looked at Zhao Kuo with a look of surprise, apparently completely unexpected that Zhao Kuo would actually speak out against this matter on Lian Po's "big happy day".

Zhao Wang looked at Zhao Kuo, and couldn't help but said, "Why does Wu Xinjun object?"

In fact, this foreshadowing has been quietly carried out in the court a few days ago. Under the manipulation of Concubine Li's various tricks such as coquettishness and shame, King Zhao has actually agreed to restore integrity on top of this reward ceremony. Po Wu Xiangjun's title, so that Lian Po can once again become a powerful force to check and balance Zhao Kuo.

No matter whether it is in Pingyang Jun or Zhao Wang, Zhao Kuo must be more jealous if he thinks that this is the victory celebration of the return of Lian Po's class teacher.

As long as Zhao Kuo does not express any objection, then all this will naturally go on smoothly, and Zhao Kuo will suffer a dumb loss.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Kuo, who has always used surprises, was also very unexpected this time, and expressed his opposition immediately.

Facing King Zhao's question, Zhao Kuo said very calmly: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we discuss such a grand matter as rewarding a prince in advance?

If everything is requested suddenly and then announced all at once, it will completely violate the traditions of our country of Zhao. "

Zhao Wang's face suddenly became a little embarrassing when he heard this.

What Zhao Kuo said is actually right.

According to common sense, if you want to award a prince, such a major event should be discussed with several important ministers of Zhao State in advance, and then announced after getting everyone's collective consent.

However, King Zhao didn't discuss this matter at all beforehand, he just wanted to make such a sudden attack with Lord Pingyang.

As a result, now that Zhao Kuo has pointed it out, it immediately becomes very embarrassing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is impossible for King Zhao to say that he did something wrong, so he could only smile reluctantly and say: "This matter was brought up by Lord Pingyang, and I just asked everyone to discuss it. "

Zhao Kuo just waited for Zhao Wang's voice to fall, and immediately spoke again: "Although Pingyang Jun is the Xiangbang of our Zhao Kingdom, but Pingyang Jun is not the only Xiangbang in our Zhao Kingdom.

If Mr. Pingyang engages in such a sudden attack on everything, then I don't know what use it is to have us other important ministers of Zhao Guo. "

If what Zhao Kuo said just now was accusing Zhao Wang, then now Zhao Kuo is directly jumping in Pingyang Jun's face.

Considering that Zhao Kuo has been low-key and forbearing recently, this situation is obviously completely out of the surprise of Zhao Wang and Pingyang Jun, so that Pingyang Jun has been jumped to this point by Zhao Kuo, and finally came back to his senses. cried out.

"Wu Xinjun, don't talk nonsense, the old man also brought up this matter on a whim.

Besides, hasn't the king already said, can we discuss it on the spot now?

Why do you accuse the old man? "

Mr. Ping'an's behavior at this moment can be said to be a little out of breath. After all, it is definitely a very embarrassing thing to be pointed at and scolded by others, especially in such an occasion where all Zhao Guowu's officials are present.

As the head of Zhao's hundreds of officials, Lord Pingyang obviously couldn't stand this kind of grievance.

Zhao Kuo nodded upon hearing this and said, "Very good, since you said we are here to discuss this matter, then let's start discussing now.

Gentlemen, I object to this matter.

There are other objections, and now you can speak. "

As soon as Zhao Kuo's voice fell, Pang Nuan immediately said: "The old man is also against this matter.

This kind of thing is completely out of order. If everything is messed up as it is today, what will our country of Zhao be like in the future?

What a mess! "

As Zhao Kuo's most staunch ally, Pang Nuan's statement obviously did not surprise others at all.

But what happened the next moment was truly beyond everyone's expectations.

Just after Pang Nuan's voice fell, another person also spoke immediately.

"The old man Zhou Shaofen is also opposed to this matter, any matter can be discussed in the hall, and should not be brought up casually on such an occasion.

How can military affairs be trifling with! "

When Zhou Shaofen said this, his voice was very loud.

For Zhou Shaofen, he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

This guy Pingyang Jun actually chose to abandon Zhou Shaofen and stand with Li Fei, which undoubtedly touched Zhou Shaofen's rebellious scales.

And since this matter is related to Zhao's next generation of throne, it can be said that the two parties have completely lost any space for buffer or peace talks, and it is a completely hostile position.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Shaofen naturally couldn't wait to stand up immediately and slap Pingyang Jun severely in the face.

He wanted everyone to know that whoever betrayed the Zhou family like Lord Pingyang would have to pay the price, even Zhao Guoxiangbang was no exception.

After Zhou Shaofen finished speaking, Zhou Shaoliang of course immediately followed up and said: "I also object to this matter. As for the reasons, the adults just now have made it very clear, so I don't need to repeat them."

In this way, the number of opposing votes reached 4 votes. Considering that there are only 7 Zhao Guozhong ministers, these 4 votes have actually decided everything.

Lian Po listened to these people's words one after another, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

As far as Lian Po was concerned, he had no idea that there would be such a big humiliation waiting for him on top of this celebration that was originally specially set up to celebrate his victory.

As for the initiator of this matter, Mr. Pingyang, his face was even more ugly.

You must know that most of the usual political struggles are carried out in the main hall, between several important officials of the Zhao State and the King of Zhao. The outcome between the two parties cannot be witnessed by others anyway. It's just disseminated in the form of speech.

But today is different. Today, Zhao Guo's military officials and many victorious soldiers are here, watching how Pingyang Jun was refuted by Zhao Kuo's faction.

This is definitely a huge humiliation, but Mr. Pingyang still has no way to win back this city.

Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyang Jun calmly, and then turned his gaze to King Zhao.

"Didn't Your Majesty say that you want to discuss this matter?

Now that the result of this matter has come out, please ask the king to judge. "

Said it was a holy order, but it was actually another slap in the face of King Zhao.

Although Zhao Kuo has matured a lot now, it does not mean that Zhao Kuo is a temperless person.

The so-called forbearance is not a bottomless concession. Didn’t you, King Zhao, help Pingyang Jun to suppress me some time ago so that you were very comfortable?

Now, I will let you know in front of Zhao Guowu and all the officials, what it feels like to be slapped in the face!

Chapter 872

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Wang's expression suddenly became very ugly.

Of course King Zhao knew that this was Zhao Kuo's most obvious slap in the face, but what made King Zhao very aggrieved was that even as a king, King Zhao really had no good way at the moment.

First of all, regarding the matter of discussing whether the title should be restored, King Zhao just said it directly in front of Zhao Kuo and many ministers of the State of Zhao.

Now that the result of the discussion has come out, if King Zhao refuses to admit it, how should his prestige be maintained?

As a monarch, the most taboo thing is to talk back and then deny it in a blink of an eye.

To use an analogy, this is like a company boss who originally said that he would give the migrant workers a raise this month, but at the end of the month the migrant workers went to the boss for a raise, but the boss said that the previous words did not count.

How could such a boss have migrant workers who would sincerely pursue whom?

By the same token, it is absolutely impossible for a monarch who speaks inconsequentially to obtain the loyal approval and service of his courtiers.

If it was in the period of the great unified dynasty, then there is only one emperor in the world, and the only one that everyone can serve is this emperor, and maybe everyone can hold their noses and bear it.

But now there are still 6 countries left in the entire Huaxia princes. Although Zhao Guo is the most powerful one, but before everything is over, who dares to say that Zhao Guo must be the winning side?

At this time, if Zhao Wang offends these ministers and performs a backlash in front of everyone, then he is a very stupid person.

King Zhao took a deep breath and stared at Zhao Kuo in front of him.

To be honest, Zhao Wang didn't say much about Zhao Kuo's disgust, and even Zhao Wang trusted Zhao Kuo more than Pingyang Lord in his heart.

It's just that in Zhao Wang's view, Zhao Kuo is just a courtier after all. Since he is a courtier, he must bear the will of the king, and there should be no complaints about it.

So King Zhao was able to follow Concubine Li's advice and suppress Zhao Kuo unscrupulously.

Anyway, in King Zhao's view, as long as he gives Zhao Kuo a sweet treat after a while, Zhao Kuo will naturally be able to forget all this and continue to serve King Zhao loyally.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Wang realized that his thinking was completely wrong.
