Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Looking at the figure of Concubine Li, Zhao Wang felt amused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But suddenly, Zhao Wang felt a little tastey again.

Concubine Ai dressed up to meet Mr. Wu Xinjun?

Why does this feel a bit wrong?

But immediately, King Zhao's brows loosened again.

After all, Mr. Wu Xinjun is the great Zhao Xiangbang, a great minister of Zhao with one person under one man and over ten thousand people. If Concubine Li looks sloppy and casual when she sees him, it will be really outrageous.

For Zhao Kuo and even any minister of Zhao State, it is not easy to enter the harem.

Fortunately, with King Zhao's order in advance, Zhao Kuo was able to come to Concubine Li's palace unimpeded all the way.

Looking at the palace in front of him, Zhao Kuo also felt a little bit emotional: "This palace" this palace is really beyond the mark.

Whether it is the area or the shape, it seems to be on par with the queen's side.

It seems that Zhao Wang really loves this Concubine Li.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that this concubine Li is the historical empress Zhao Chang.

Zhao Kuo stepped forward while thinking.

After a while, Zhao Kuo, who had finished the report, was received by Concubine Li.

To Zhao Kuo's surprise, King Zhao was also there.

Zhao Kuo saluted calmly: "My subject, Zhao Kuo, has met the King and Concubine Li."

King Zhao laughed and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, you came just in time. The widow and my concubine are just about to have breakfast, so you can eat with us."

This breakfast can be said to be quite luxurious, and the degree of luxury even surprised Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but said: "The delicacies of mountains and seas here are really eye-opening for the old minister."

"Delicacy from mountains and seas?"

After hearing this sentence, Zhao Wang couldn't help laughing: "Wu Xinjun, what are you kidding, this is actually just a light meal.

The widow remembers that you are quite rich, Wu Xinjun. Could it be that you can't even afford these things? "

Zhao Kuo's heart skipped a beat.

What the hell, can this also be called a light meal?

Judging from Zhao Kuo's estimation, this meal can't be paid for without [-] to [-] yuan.

Eat thirty to fifty thousand for one breakfast, what's the concept?

If this is called a light meal, then except for a few monarchs in this world, everyone else would probably eat pig food.

It's too extravagant and wasteful!Zhao Kuo showed a modest smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty is just joking, Your Majesty is rich in thousands of miles of land, and tens of thousands of people are creating wealth for His Majesty. Compared with His Majesty, your little property is like a firefly compared to a bright moon. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Zhao Wang was obviously very happy with this kind of flattery, he laughed and said: "Look, my concubine, let me just say it, in fact, Wu Xinjun is a very easy-going person."

Concubine Li smiled softly: "Indeed, I thought that Mr. Wu Xin should be the kind of domineering and murderous type.

Looking at it now, he looks like an elegant Confucian scholar. "

This is the first time Zhao Kuo has come into contact with this concubine Li and heard the voice of this concubine Li.

It's sweet and glutinous. If you haven't drunk green tea for ten years, you definitely can't make this sound.

It's no wonder that King Zhao can be controlled to death. Even in later generations, there are still a lot of people who have no resistance to such green tea.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "The old minister also heard that Concubine Li is the most beautiful woman in the world, but seeing her today, it turns out that only a beauty like Concubine Li is worthy of a young hero like Your Majesty!"

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not catch fish.

As a standard old politician, Zhao Kuo can be said to have perfected this kind of flattering skills.

It's just that ordinary people's status is not enough, and Zhao Kuo is not given a chance to show off!Sure enough, after Zhao Kuo's kind words, both King Zhao and Concubine Li smiled at the same time.

It's not that they haven't heard such good words, but the problem is that the identities of the speakers are different.

How could the words of praise from Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, the No. 1 general in the world, be comparable to others?

The atmosphere suddenly became active, and this breakfast can be said to be full of laughter.

After breakfast, Concubine Li asked someone to carry the second prince, Zhao An, out again.

After Zhao Kuo saw Zhao An, he naturally praised him again. The little prince looks as handsome as his father, with big eyes like his mother. All kinds of compliments made King Zhao and Concubine Li smile.

Therefore, this meeting also ended in a happy atmosphere.

Although they didn't say it directly, the three present knew very well that this alliance had basically been established.

It was not until noon that Zhao Kuo declined Wang Zhao's request that Zhao Kuo stay for lunch, and left the palace on the grounds of handling official business.

Sitting in the carriage home, Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly.

Although Concubine Li did cause some obstacles to Zhao Kuo before, but now, choosing to form an alliance with Concubine Li is undoubtedly more beneficial to Zhao Kuo.

Concubine Li is Zhao Wang's favorite pillow person, with this wave of pillow assists, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But the problem is that Concubine Li's reputation in history is actually not very good.

It can be seen from the title "Zhao Xunhou".

And for some reason, Zhao Kuo always felt that the way Concubine Li looked at him today was more or less strange.

Zhao Kuo always felt that this kind of look was seduce. After a while, Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed.

"Whatever, it's not my wife."

Chapter 889 Candidates for the New General Zhao Guo

The next day, Zhao Guoxiangbang was an official.

Looking at the many respectful officials of the Xiangbang Mansion in front of him, Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed calm, but there was still a little excitement in his heart.

Finally, this Marquis is also sitting in this position!Zhao Kuo said slowly: "From today onwards, Xu Li will be the chief minister of Xiangbang, Li Si will be the chief inspector, Guo Zong will be the prime minister of the Zhongfu, and Han Fei will be the counselor.

You and other officials are all controlled by these four people, do you know that? "

As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, now that Zhao Kuo has become Xiangbang, it is natural to appoint his own cronies to firmly control the entire Xiangbang mansion.

Facing Zhao Kuo's order, everyone naturally accepted the order respectfully.

Since Zhao Kuo had already cultivated a complete team in Zhao Guo's political arena, when Zhao Kuo entered the Xiangbang officials, he almost immediately controlled the situation.

In just a few days, the entire Xiangbang official family has undergone a major change of blood. According to Xu Li's words, "Although there are still some small details that need to be worked out, overall, the Xiangbang official family has indeed belonged to the Your lord, you are a country."

This is the advantage of cultivating power in advance, otherwise, after Zhao Kuo became the prime minister, he would have to spend a lot of effort to continue to intrigue with the original Pingyang Lord's subordinates.

Zhao Kuo is very busy, busy to rule the world as soon as possible, and has no intention of wasting time in such a place that has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Although Mr. Pingyang's ability is mediocre, he has at least been under the influence of Mr. Pingyuan for decades, and he can be regarded as so-so when dealing with government affairs. Therefore, after Zhao Kuo took over, Zhao Guo also had a relatively stable transition. Said nothing went wrong.

On this day, when Zhao Kuo was dealing with political affairs in Xiangbang's official office, an envoy from the palace suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

"Wu Xinjun, Your Majesty has summoned you urgently, please enter the palace immediately."

So Zhao Kuo naturally entered the palace in a carriage. This was Zhao Kuo's first court meeting after he became Xiangbang.

Not only Zhao Kuo, but also several other important ministers were all present.

Seeing this posture, everyone immediately knew that the matter discussed today must be very important.

After a while, King Zhao appeared.

Judging from his complexion, King Zhao is still in a pretty good mood today.

After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, King Zhao immediately brought up the topic.

"You all know that just a few days ago, Wu Xinjun was promoted to Xiangbang.

So if this happens, the position of the general will be vacant, and a new candidate is needed. I wonder if you have any suggestions for this? "

Everyone at the scene thought in unison when they heard it: "So that's how it is."

Indeed, after Zhao Kuo was promoted to Xiangbang, the biggest suspense in Zhao Guo's political arena was whose hands the general's official position would fall into.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo's face was quite calm, and he didn't seem to have any urge to speak.

This made Zhao Guojun and his ministers including Zhao Wang a little surprised. In their view, since Zhao Kuo had already appeared as Xiangbang, he should attack very strongly at the first meeting as Xiangbang.

Zhao Kuo didn't speak, so Zhou Shaofen, as the de facto No. 2 figure in Zhao Guo's political arena today, did his part to speak.

"Your Majesty, the veteran believes that Great Sima Lianpo has made a lot of contributions to our country of Zhao, and now he is the best candidate to be the Great General."

Zhou Shaofen did not hesitate at all, and directly nominated Lian Po.

Zhao Kuo was very calm in his heart, and he was not surprised at all about Zhou Shaofen's nomination.

After Zhao Kuo won the position of helper, Lian Po must find someone to form an alliance, otherwise Zhao Kuo would definitely kill Lian Po.

Judging from the current situation in Zhao Guo's political arena, Zhou Shaofen is the only one who can form an alliance with Lian Po.

It is a good thing for Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen that Lian Po became the general.

As soon as Zhou Shaofen opened his mouth, his younger brother Zhou Shaoliang naturally agreed immediately.

Pang Nuan, Zhao Kuo's ally, looked at Zhao Kuo, wanting to wait for Zhao Kuo's response.

From Pang Nuan's point of view, the position of General is very important, presumably Zhao Kuo would not give up this position so easily.

Zhao Wang's eyes also fell on Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Wang also wanted to know how Zhao Kuo would oppose Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po.

Zhao Kuo coughed very calmly, and said slowly: "Sima Lianpo is a relatively capable person, and I have no objection to letting him be the general."

After Zhao Kuo said this, the people present were stunned.

Especially Lian Po, who looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief.

There is no need to talk about the grievances between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo. Unexpectedly, on such a critical occasion, this guy did not object to Lian Po at all, and directly agreed with him.

Zhao Kuo's agreement made Zhou Shaofen start to have doubts in his heart. Could it be that Zhao Kuo had actually secretly colluded with Lian Po?

But anyway, since neither Zhao Kuo nor Zhou Shaofen objected, the matter was settled.

King Zhao collected himself, coughed and said, "Very well, everyone agrees, then let Lian Po be promoted to the general."

Lian Po stood up very excitedly, saluted King Zhao respectfully, and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely do my best for the King and the country of Zhao in the future, and I will die."

This is not the first time Lian Po has won the position of General, but Lian Po is still very excited at this moment.

This symbolizes Lian Po's return to the top again.

Zhao Wang nodded, because he didn't see the excitement, which made him feel a little lack of interest, so he said again: "Now the problem is coming, and the position of the general is also available, so who should take over as the chief minister?" Where is the location?"

As soon as Zhao Wang finished speaking, Zhao Kuo spoke immediately.

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that General Li Mu has outstanding military exploits and is also very loyal to our country of Zhao. He should be the most suitable candidate for Da Sima."

After Zhao Kuo's voice fell, Zhou Shaofen was taken aback.

At this moment, Zhou Shaofen suddenly understood.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, Zhao Kuo never thought about competing for the position of the general, but set his goal on the great Sima, who was second only to the general.

As long as this great Sima is under the control of Zhao Kuo's loyal subordinate Li Mu, then Zhao Kuo can use Li Mu to maintain Zhao's previous influence in the army.

Can't help it, Zhao Kuo was able to smoothly insert an absolutely loyal new ally into the ranks of Zhao Guo's important ministers!

Chapter 890

After understanding what Zhao Kuo meant, Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po became anxious immediately.

In the eyes of these two.

If Zhao Kuo was allowed to get a seat, then three of the six important ministers would be occupied by Zhao Kuo.

This is obviously quite unfavorable for Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po.

Conversely, if Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po can win the seat of the Great Sima, they will be able to have 6 places among the 4 important ministers, and directly and firmly suppress Zhao Kuo.

So Zhou Shaofen also hurriedly said: "Although Li Mu is indeed a strong general, his experience is still somewhat lacking. I should say that this candidate should be cautious."

As soon as Zhou Shaofen finished speaking, Lian Po immediately expressed his agreement: "That's right, that's the reason. Li Mu is still relatively young and needs more training."

Following Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po, Zhou Shaoliang of course also expressed his opposition.
