Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

This is Zhao Kuo's real goal.

Didn't you, King Zhao, punish me, dismiss me and think about my mistakes behind closed doors?

Now I'm going to teach you a lesson, and let you know how to write typos!Xu Li looked at Zhao Kuo with doubts on his face: "My lord, do you want the king to subdue you?

This is impossible. "

Xu Li knew a little about King Zhao's character.

That is a young and vigorous king, and now he has led Zhao Guo to become the most powerful country in the world. How could such a king submit to a courtier?

That is to say, Zhao Kuo has done so many unexpected things all the time, otherwise Xu Li must feel that his lord is out of his imagination.

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, don't you know that this era is an era when good birds choose trees to live in, not an era where the king can get what he wants! By the way, you and I will visit Tell that Tang Ju, send him back."

In the end, of course, Zhao Kuo did not agree to Lord Xinling's solicitation, and sent Tang Ju back to Daliang City.

Hou Sheng's words came true.

In the next half month, envoys from other countries came to visit Zhao Kuo one after another.

Chu State, Yan State, South Korea, plus the envoys of Wei State Tang Ju and Qi State envoys who had come before won the victory, and the other five countries except Qin State have sent envoys to recruit Zhao Kuo.

Moreover, these envoys were surprisingly unanimous in the positions promised by Zhao Kuo!In the palace city of Handan.

The anxiety on Miao Xian's face could not be concealed at all: "Your Majesty, all countries except Qin have already sent people to recruit Zhao Kuo. If you don't think of a way, if Zhao Kuo really leaves, it will be too late to regret it." It's over!"

Facing Miao Xian's urging, Zhao Wang still looked calm: "Why are you panicking, didn't Zhao Kuo agree?"

That's what he said, but judging from Zhao Wang's slightly trembling fingers, it was obvious that this Zhao Wang was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Miao Xian sighed: "Your Majesty, pardon the old minister, even if Zhao Kuo is tempted by one of these countries, he can't say it."

Zhao Wang's body froze immediately.

This is indeed true. If Zhao Kuo dared to openly agree to the solicitation of other countries, then Zhao Kuo would not want to leave Zhao Guo alive.

So did Zhao Kuo agree to solicitation from other countries?

Zhao Wang and Miao Xian are completely ignorant now.

Suddenly, a palace guard walked in quickly and whispered something in Miao Xian's ear.

Miao Xian took a deep breath and looked at King Zhao with helpless eyes: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the people of Qin have also come!"

"what?"

At this moment, King Zhao finally couldn't sit still at all, and stood up suddenly.

Qin Guo, that is Zhao Guo's biggest competitor!If Qin Guo really recruited Zhao Kuo, the next moment, Zhao Wang said repeatedly: "Quick, quickly send someone to find Lord Pingyuan for the widow! Immediately, immediately!"

At this moment, in the lobby of Zhao's Manor outside Handan City, the envoy of Qin State was saluting Zhao Kuo.

"Jihou from Qin, I have met Zhao Qing."

Zhao Kuo was stunned when he heard the name.

Chapter 87 King Qin's Astonishing Condition

The name Ji Hou may not be familiar to others, but Zhao Kuo is definitely familiar, even thunderous.

Zhao Kuo stared at the other party, and said lightly: "I didn't expect King Qin to send the leader of the secret agents under him. Zhao is really flattered."

Ji Hou's face changed slightly: "Did Zhao Qing have some misunderstanding?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "There is no misunderstanding.

During the Battle of Changping, you stirred up public opinion in Handan City, saying that Qin is only afraid of me, Zhao Kuo, not afraid of General Lianpo, you are the mastermind behind the scenes, right?

After the Battle of Changping, you were the one who sent assassins to assassinate me, right?

I'm really curious, who gave you the courage to stand in front of me? Are you really not afraid of death? "

Ji Hou's face changed completely, and after a long while, he said slowly: "Unexpectedly, Zhao Qing is not only the best in the world in commanding battles, but even the identity of the old man was clearly discovered by Zhao Qing."

Zhao Kuo spread his hands and said with a smile: "The name of the leader of Qin State's spies, Hou, is well known all over the world. Over the years, you and your spies have helped Qin win at least three wars on the intelligence front. And it almost took my life, if such a person doesn't find out his identity, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

The eyes of the two sides met, and there seemed to be sparks in the air.

Zhao Kuo didn't panic at all, although this is a well-known spy leader in the history of Qin, but this is Zhao Kuo's territory!When you come to my territory, even King Qin has to be honest!After a while, Ji Hou took the initiative to break the silence: "If my king knows what Zhao Qing said today, I think his evaluation of Zhao Qing will increase again."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care what the King of Qin thinks of me, but since you are here as an envoy, then hurry up and finish what you have to say."

Zhao Kuo didn't want the meeting with Qin's envoy to last too long, after all, Qin would be Zhao's biggest competitor for a long time to come.

Ji Hou nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, Zhao Qing, the mission of this old man's visit is actually the same as that of the envoys from other five countries."

Zhao Kuo snorted, and said without any surprise: "Tell me your conditions."

After all, King Qin Yingji was a well-known Mingjun in history. Despite Zhao Kuo's calm face, he was actually curious about what kind of worth he was in King Qin's heart.

Ji Hou glanced at the hall and confirmed that there was no one else, and then said seriously: "As long as Zhao Qing is willing to go to Daqin, then my king can grant Zhao Qing the same title of prince as Wu Anjun, and serve as Daqin Xiangbang! Not only that, if Zhao Qing can help Daqin eliminate the six kingdoms, then Daqin is willing to keep Zhaoqing rich and honored forever, and rest with the country!"

When Ji Hou said these words, Zhao Kuo was a little shocked even though he was mentally prepared.

Junhou, this is the title of an extremely human minister.

Xiangbang, this is the official position of an extremely human minister.

Sleeping with the country, not to mention this, is simply the dream treatment of all courtiers.

Although the other five countries have also offered good conditions, compared with the conditions of King Qin, they are obviously still much worse.

Qin Wang Yingji, it really is a big deal!Ji Hou looked at Zhao Kuo with a surprised face, and was secretly happy in his heart.

When Zhao Kuo came up and called Po Ji Hou's identity, Ji Hou was actually very surprised.

You must know that as the leader of Qin State's secret agents, Ji Hou's identity has always been kept strictly secret. Except for Qin King and Xiangbang Fan Sui and other core high-level officials of Qin State, no one else knows about it at all. Otherwise, Ji Hou would not dare to swagger. Appear as a diplomatic envoy.

Just relying on the fact that the secret agents of the Qin State have done so many things in the six countries over the years to fan the flames and spread rumors to assassinate the ministers and separate the monarchs and ministers, once Ji Hou's identity is exposed, he is basically dead.

So, how did Zhao Kuo know Ji Hou's identity?

Ji Hou is not clear, but what Ji Hou knows very well is that Zhao Kuo can definitely decide Ji Hou's life and death now.

Now Zhao Kuo has obviously been moved by King Qin's conditions. Once Zhao Kuo agrees to recruit and become Qin's "own man", then things will naturally be much easier.

Thinking about it, the conditions offered by the King of Qin can be said to be unparalleled in the world, so how could Zhao Kuo not be tempted?

Even King Zhao couldn't offer such a condition as King Qin!Zhao Kuo will definitely agree.

Ji Hou looked at Zhao Kuo expectantly.

Ji Hou originally wanted to meet Zhao Kuo in secret, but after hearing that envoys from the five countries had come to solicit him, he had the idea to come here as an envoy from Qin.

As long as Zhao Kuo agrees, the identity of this envoy will immediately play a role and start helping Zhao Kuo "smuggle" to Qin.

Everything is ready, just wait for Zhao Kuo to nod!Zhao Kuo's hesitation did not last long, and he quickly answered.

"I'm sorry, although King Qin's conditions are indeed very generous, but I'm from Zhao after all, so I can't agree."

Zhao Kuo rejected King Qin's solicitation.

Ji Hou's face changed drastically, and he looked at Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Qing, why don't you think about it?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I don't think about it anymore. This is my final decision. Please convey my thanks to King Qin, and then please go back."

Ji Hou's expression changed, and after a while, he sighed and left the lobby.

As soon as Ji Hou left, Xu Li's figure appeared beside Zhao Kuo: "My lord, since this person is the leader of Qin's secret agents who led the assassination, why should he be spared?"

Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes, watching Ji Hou's carriage gradually disappearing from his sight, and said slowly: "Of course you can kill Ji Hou, but Ji Hou is the envoy of Qin State, killing him will damage my reputation."

In this era, if you have a bad reputation, no one will be willing to work under your command. Every lord will try his best to manage his own reputation.

People like Lord Pingyuan, Lord Xinling, and Lord Chunshen of the Chu State are famous because of their good management, so many retainers and dead men swore to follow them, and they became the famous "Four Princes of the Warring States Period" in history.

Since Zhao Kuo wants to unify the world, Zhao Kuo's reputation must be better than the reputation of these four sons, so that it will be easier to win the hearts of scholars and let scholars all over the world follow Zhao Kuo wholeheartedly.

Conquering the world is easy, but defending the world is difficult. Only by subduing the hearts of the scholars in the world can Zhao Kuo's future be as stable as Mount Tai, instead of a flash in the pan like the Qin Dynasty in history.

For this lofty goal, what's the point of letting Ji Hou die?

Xu Li said worriedly: "But my lord, if you let him go today, won't he plan to plot against you in the future?"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "Uncle Xu, when did you see a dragon soaring for nine days and be afraid of mice hiding in the gutter?

If he really has any conspiracy in the future, just come, I will follow them all! "

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's arrogance was fully revealed, and he was swallowed up!The next moment, a retainer came quickly and reported a new message: "Master, Lord Pingyuan is visiting!"

Chapter 88: King Zhao is soft?not enough!

The arrival of Mr. Pingyuan did not surprise Zhao Kuo. In fact, Zhao Kuo felt that Mr. Pingyuan should have come a few days earlier.

It seems that Zhao Wang's patience, or his prejudice against Zhao Kuo, is still very good.

Mr. Pingyuan looked up and down at Zhao Kuo who came out to greet him personally: "It seems that you have been doing well during this period of time."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "You don't need to be busy with heavy business. It's better to rest at home every day."

Lord Pingyuan frowned slightly, and said: "I heard some people say that the sound of horseshoes in your manor is constant every day."

Zhao Kuo said sternly, "Cavalry has been one of the most important arms since Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry and archery began. Although Zhao Kuo is not talented, how can he forget the church of his ancestors?"

These words made Mr. Pingyuan look a lot better. King Zhao Wuling is the biological father of Mr. Pingyuan.

"Go in and talk."

After a while, Zhao Kuo and Mr. Yuan sat down in the lobby.

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo for a while, and then said: "Did you spread the news of your resignation yourself?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I don't need to do such a thing."

Mr. Pingyuan's face was a little gloomy: "But the current situation is like this, do you know what you are doing?

You are using the other six countries to threaten the king! "

Zhao Kuo sighed, and said very seriously: "If the king could have punished Yu Xin according to the law, things would not have turned out like this.

Moreover, the envoys of the Six Nations are not invisible to me. "

Mr. Pingyuan looked sharply: "Why do you want to meet?

You shouldn't have met them in the first place! "

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Pingyuan very indifferently: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, my lord.

I, Zhao Kuo, thought that I had never been sorry to Da Zhao, but I ended up like this.

Is it wrong for me to find another way out for myself? "

Mr. Pingyuan was dumbfounded.

Saying a thousand words and ten thousand, it was King Zhao who was sorry for Zhao Kuo in the end. Although Mr. Pingyuan was Zhao Wang's uncle in this matter, his character did not allow him to lie against his conscience.

After a long while, Mr. Pingyuan sighed and said, "My lord, my lord is only angry for a while.

Well, you will resume your position as chief minister tomorrow, so go back to work. "

Zhao Wang finally let go.

It doesn't work if you don't let go, who knows that Zhao Kuo will run away to another country one day?

Even if King Zhao could indeed kill Zhao Kuo when Zhao Kuo was running away, it would be a big loss for Zhao Guo to lose a peerless general like Zhao Kuo in vain.

Therefore, Zhao Kuoguan can only be reinstated.

If someone else heard these words, they would definitely be overjoyed and thanked, but Zhao Kuo didn't.

The expression on Zhao Kuo's face became more and more serious as he stared at Mr. Pingyuan.

Mr. Pingyuan suddenly felt guilty and looked away.

Mr. Pingyuan's action confirmed Zhao Kuo's thoughts.

Zhao Kuo said: "Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, the day when my official is reinstated is also the time when Yu Xin is reinstated, right?"

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

This is actually conceivable. King Zhao's protection of Yu Xin has always been known to everyone. Since Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin have lost both sides, now that Zhao Kuo is reinstated as an official, Yu Xin naturally has to keep up at the same time.

Zhao Kuo said very calmly: "In this case, please turn around and thank the king for Zhao Kuo's kindness."
