Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

With Lian Po and the Zhou brothers, there are three seats among Zhao Guo's important ministers. It can be said that they can attack and defend. Even if they can't pose much threat to Zhao Kuo, at least they can protect themselves. up.

So Lian Po is considered safe.

From this perspective, Zhao Kuo was not the only winner in this meeting.

Everyone left, only Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo were left.

Zhao Kuo was the first to speak: "I don't know if the king asked the old minister to stay, what is there to tell the old minister?"

The reason why Zhao Kuo called himself an old minister in front of King Zhao is that in this era, men over 30 years old can call themselves old men.

Zhao Wang's expression was slightly hesitant.

It's really not easy to talk about this matter.

After all, not long ago, King Zhao chose to suppress Zhao Kuo because of Concubine Li's words, but now King Zhao wants Zhao Kuo to cooperate with Concubine Li.

Yes, the new ally chosen by King Zhao for Concubine Li is naturally Zhao Kuo.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that Zhou Shaofen will definitely not be on Li Concubine's side, so apart from Zhao Kuo, who is hostile to Zhou Shaofen, there is no third more suitable candidate in Zhao Guo's political arena.

What's more, from a certain point of view, Xiangbang Zhao Kuo becoming an ally of Concubine Li is actually helpful to some vague thoughts in King Zhao's future mind.

So after hesitating for a moment, King Zhao finally spoke directly.

"Wu Xinjun, if you have time these few days, go to the palace and pay a visit to Concubine Li."

Zhao Kuo was stunned when he heard this sentence.

Zhao Kuo is not a fool, of course he can hear the hint behind this sentence.

Concubine Li is the woman of King Zhao. If there is no need, Zhao Kuo, as a courtier, must of course avoid suspicion.

But now King Zhao actually took the initiative to ask Zhao Kuo to find Concubine Li, which shows that there must be a reason why Zhao Kuo must see Concubine Li behind it.

In connection with the fact that Lord Pingyang had just died and Concubine Li had no allies at all, what was behind King Zhao's words?

It can be said that it is ready to come out.

Zhao Wang looked at Zhao Kuo in a daze for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "The reason why Concubine Li targeted you before was because Lord Pingyang was in the way. I have already explained this whole thing to Concubine Li for you. From now on, you won't have such misunderstandings again."

I have to say that King Zhao really dotes on Concubine Li very much, so even in the face of a courtier like Zhao Kuo, he still explained it carefully.

Only then did Zhao Kuo come back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to King Zhao, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will enter the palace tomorrow to greet Concubine Li."

Zhao Kuo suddenly felt that this was actually a pie falling from the sky in front of him.

Why do you want to say this?

Because Zhao Kuo knows very well that in history, King Zhao married a brothel woman, and eventually abolished the previous queen, making the brothel woman the new queen, and at the same time made the brothel woman's child a The next generation of King Zhao.

In other words, if Zhao Kuo really formed an alliance with Concubine Li, then he would have a winning ally in Zhao's harem!

Chapter 887 Mrs. Zhao is happy, Mrs. Zhou is depressed

Sitting on the carriage home, Zhao Kuo began to calm down.

Today's battle for the prime minister is actually quite thrilling.

It has to be said that sometimes calculations cannot completely calculate everything, and some factors of fate are needed.

This is the so-called "do your best and obey the destiny".

Undoubtedly, today's destiny is on Zhao Kuo's side.

By now, in fact, Zhao Kuo has fully understood what is going on.

One of the most important factors why King Zhao chose Zhao Kuo was that King Zhao hoped that Zhao Kuo could become Concubine Li's help outside the palace.

However, from a normal point of view, if a concubine keeps herself safe, she doesn't need any help from outside the palace.

In other words, "Concubine Li, you still have ambitions!"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an elusive smile.

Sure enough, even if history is changed, some people's personalities will not be changed.

Therefore, when encountering things, these people will still make the same decisions as in history.

This is called "Character determines destiny".

So Zhao Kuo's next question is very simple, how to use this relationship to continue to climb up?

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo burst out laughing.

"Let's think about this matter later!"

What Zhao Kuo needs today is to celebrate the victory and enjoy this peak!Zhao Kuo's carriage slowly drove into Wu Xinjun's mansion.

It was already dusk, but people were shaking at the gate of Wu Xinjun's mansion.

The news that Zhao Kuo was able to serve as Xiangbang has been spread back immediately, and the entire Wu Xinjun mansion was completely sensational.

It is true that Zhao Kuo's previous position was a general, and in terms of status, he was only under Xiangbang.

But in the final analysis, the second and the first are different after all!Zhao Kuo got off the carriage, a little surprised: "Why are there so many people?"

In front of Zhao Kuo, many retainers, stewards, maids, and servants said in unison: "Congratulations, my lord, for being appointed Xiangbang!"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, very good.

Pass the order down, everyone in the mansion will be rewarded tonight! "

Zhao Kuo's voice fell, and naturally there were thunderous cheers.

Tian Wan and Qiu'er walked up one from the left and the other from the right, with joy and pride that couldn't be concealed on their pretty faces.

"Congratulations, husband!"

"Husband is great."

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and hugged the two girls into his arms amidst the exclamation of the two girls: "Tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

This night, the lights in Lord Wu Xin's mansion were brightly lit until early morning!Zhou Fu.

The sound of ping-pong-pong kept ringing in the lobby.

Zhou Shaofen, who has always been known for his calmness, lost his composure, and directly smashed the things in the lobby to pieces, shattering them all over the ground.

Zhou Shaoliang watched this scene from the side, hesitant to speak.

Indeed, this feeling of being only one step away from the peak, but unable to cross the past, is really too aggrieved.

After a long time, Zhou Shaofen finally stopped what he was doing and let out a long sigh.

"Wu Xinjun, you really deserve to be you."

Zhou Shaofen sat down a little depressed, put his head in his hands, and remained silent for a long time.

This time, the blow to Zhou Shaofen was quite big.

Zhou Shaoliang finally spoke cautiously at this time: "Brother, I don't think we need to be so depressed. Although Zhao Kuo is in power now, he is very arrogant, and sooner or later something will happen!"

Zhou Shaofen snorted heavily, and looked at Zhou Shaoliang with idiot eyes: "What do you know?

Although Wu Xinjun was indeed insolent, it was many years ago.

And among other things, have you seen when Wu Xinjun failed in the past few years?

This is the scariest thing!Now that we don't have the position of Xiangbang, it is basically impossible to suppress him in the future. "

Zhou Shaoliang was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, what Zhou Shaofen said really hit the point.

Before, Zhao Kuo was not a Xiangbang, so in terms of position, besides King Zhao, there was another Xiangbang who could suppress Zhao Kuo in terms of power.

But now, Zhao Kuo is the prime minister, and only King Zhao can suppress Zhao Kuo.

Zhou Shaofen said coldly: "Even if the king really wants to restrain Wu Xinjun in the future, it may not be so simple. Wu Xinjun is not such a waste as Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun!"

The position of Xiangbang is the head of all military officials. As long as he can use it well, he will definitely have power in the government and the public.

What Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang can't do, Zhao Kuo can do, but it is very possible to do it!Zhou Shaoliang was dumbfounded when he heard this sentence: "Brother, if you want to say that, won't our Zhou family be in great trouble in the future?"

He has no power and ability, so how can he play with Zhao Kuo?

Zhou Shaofen let out a long breath, and said slowly: "It's not a big disaster, but the next time is really to be a man with your tail between your legs.

Those brats of yours have been acting mischievously in Handan in the name of the queen and us all day long, let’s forget about it before, let them restrain themselves a little bit later, understand? "

Zhou Shaoliang's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, I will definitely let them keep a low profile."

After a pause, Zhou Shaoliang couldn't help but said again: "Brother, if it really doesn't work, why don't we just apologize to Mr. Wu Xin and continue to work for him."

Zhou Shaoliang is really scared now.

After all, no matter how you look at it, fighting against Zhao Kuo is a very difficult choice, and it can even be said to be a life-threatening choice. This has been confirmed by Yu Xin, Pingyuan Jun, Lin Xiangru, Pingyang Jun and others.

Zhou Shaofen was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "You think I haven't thought about this?

Let me tell you the truth, if we really apologize to Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun will definitely accept it. "

Zhou Shaoliang was overjoyed when he heard it: "Then what are we waiting for?

Go tomorrow. "

Zhou Shaofen sneered and said: "If we really go, then our Zhou family and even the queen in the palace will be finished!"

Zhou Shaoliang was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Zhou Shaofen said slowly: "You have to know that there must be factions in the court, otherwise it will be difficult for the king to check and balance.

If our Zhou family does not oppose Wu Xinjun, but joins with Wu Xinjun, then the court will become a situation where Wu Xinjun's family dominates, and that is definitely what the king does not want to see.

Your Majesty has just promoted Wu Xinjun to be the Prime Minister, so it is impossible to punish Wu Xinjun immediately. At that time, hum, our Zhou family will not die, who will die? "

Zhou Shaoliang was dumbfounded.

After a while, Zhou Shaoliang cried, "So, we can only fight Wu Xinjun to the end?"

Zhou Shaofen let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Yes, do it right to the end!"

Chapter 888 Meeting with Concubine Li

The next day.

In the morning, Zhao Kuo woke up.

Last night, Zhao Kuo also had a rare night of madness, and realized a dream that had never been realized before, and was slept with!Looking at the two wives and concubines who were still sleeping on the bed, Zhao Kuo showed a smile on his face.

Men, of course, need to make contributions, but family affairs must also be taken into account.

On this point, Zhao Kuo felt that he was okay.

After washing up, Zhao Kuo changed into a suit of clothes and went out refreshed.

"Enter the palace and visit Concubine Li!"

Don't forget what you said yesterday.

Zhao Kuo was actually a little curious in his heart, how would Concubine Li treat herself?

Just when Zhao Kuo entered the palace in a carriage, Concubine Li also heard what Zhao Wang said.

"What, the ally that the king found for my concubine is Lord Wu Xin?"

Concubine Li's wonderful eyes widened involuntarily after listening to King Zhao's words.

For her, it is obvious that this reversal is quite difficult for her to accept.

Zhao Wang nodded with a smile, and said: "Yes, Wu Xinjun is now at the opposite end of the Zhou Brothers, and he is the new Xiangbang of Da Zhao. With his help, you and An'er will definitely have no problems in the future. "

Concubine Li was in a mess.

For her, it was obviously difficult to accept that she was an enemy not long ago, but now she suddenly became an ally again.

After all, she is not a politician, just a slightly scheming woman.

After a while, Concubine Li suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, so he is going to enter the palace?

No, I have to dress up properly. "

After saying that, Concubine Li jumped up from the bed and rushed to wash up.
