Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

At this moment, Zhou Shaofen suddenly felt as if he was facing the oncoming storm and huge waves!Looking at this scene, Zhao Wang finally made up his mind and spoke up.

"Okay, you don't have to argue anymore, the widow has already made a decision."

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was watching King Zhao, waiting for his final decision.

King Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Lian Po is indeed as Zhou Qing said, he has always been loyal to the widow and Da Zhao, there is no doubt about it."

When King Zhao said this, Zhou Shaofen was overjoyed.

Zhao Wang continued: "However, as Wu Xinjun said, Lian Po's ability is not enough.

Lian Po has won many wars in the past, but every time it comes to a critical moment, Lian Po is either counseled or defeated!If such a person continues to serve as a senior official in Dazhao, how can Dazhao be able to unify the world in the future?

According to the widow's order, Lian Po will be officially dismissed from office, deprived of all titles, and demoted to ordinary people from today! "

Zhao Wang's words directly pronounced Lian Po's complete fall from Zhao's political arena again!

Chapter 935 Wu Xinjun Don't Get Too Happy

After Zhao Wang's voice fell, the expressions of everyone in the hall were different.

Zhao Kuo was naturally relieved. For him, the stumbling block like Lian Po should have been removed long ago.

As for Li Mu and Pang Nuan who were on the side with Zhao Kuo, they were naturally happier.

But for Zhou Shaofen, who has already stood on the opposite side of Zhao Kuo, this result is very unacceptable.

Zhou Shaofen couldn't help but said: "My lord, please think again!" ;

Lian Po's position as a general is really important to Zhou Shaofen's faction.

Without this general position, Zhou Shaofen's faction would have no way to cultivate forces in Zhao Zhong to fight against Zhao Kuo.

The reason why Zhou Shaofen brought it up at the risk of making King Zhao angry was because he hoped King Zhao would think the same way.

However, Zhou Shaofen's last hope soon came to nothing.

Zhao Wang glanced at Zhou Shaofen, and said coldly: "Zhou Qing, didn't the widow's decision have just been finished?"Don't you think that the widow's decision is just something that comes out of his head? ;

This rhetorical question was extremely sharp, which directly made Zhou Shaofen's forehead drip cold sweat, and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the old minister didn't mean that, the old minister just;

Zhao Wang rudely interrupted Zhou Shaofen: "No just!"Well, that concludes today's meeting! ;

After saying this, Zhao Wang stood up directly and left without looking back.

Looking at the back of King Zhao leaving, Zhou Shaofen was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Zhou Shaofen felt a little helpless in his heart!

Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhou Shaofen, shook his head, stood up, and left with Li Mu and Pang Nuan.

As soon as he left the main hall, Li Mu couldn't help laughing: "I just saw Zhou Shaofen's mournful look, really relieved." ;

For Li Mu, he has always been merciless in mocking his political opponents.

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said: "When he chose to be our enemy, he should have thought of this kind of result." ;

Zhao Kuo spoke in a calm and firm tone.

For Zhao Kuo, any enemy is an object to be eradicated!

Pang Nuan looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping, so she said softly: "Your Majesty, do you think Zhou Qing will jump over the wall in a hurry and make trouble with the previous cooperation with us?" ;

Back then, Zhou Shaofen had been an undercover agent in Lin Xiangru's faction for a long time, and the reason why he was able to defeat Lin Xiangru in one go in the end was also due to Zhou Shaofen's great contribution.

Zhao Kuo shook his head, and said calmly: "No, Pang Qing, you have to know that Zhou Qing is an undercover agent after all, and no one likes an undercover agent."Therefore, if he really exposes this matter and wants to hit us, the only one who will be hit is actually himself. ;

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhou Shaofen chose to be an undercover agent back then was not because he had any spirit of selfless dedication, but because he felt that following Zhao Kuo had a better future.

The risk of being an undercover agent is indeed great, but Zhao Kuo also gave Zhou Shaofen enough rewards.

Back then, Zhou Shaofen was just a Handan order who could be dismissed at any time, but now Zhou Shaofen is the second minister in Zhao Guozhong after Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't owe Zhou Shaofen anything, and whoever took Zhou Shaofen's place would make the same decision.

It can even be said that Zhao Kuo's return has exceeded Zhou Shaofen's contribution!

Therefore, unless Zhou Shaofen was a fool, it would be impossible for him to make such a decision.

While talking, the three of Zhao Kuo walked down the steps, Zhao Kuo suddenly smiled and said: "I'm in a good mood today, both of you go to my house, let's have a drink together!" ;

The three looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The laughter spread far away, and just fell on the ears of the Zhou brothers who were not far away behind the three of them, and the expressions of the Zhou brothers suddenly became ugly.

Zhou Shaofen sighed, and said: "This time I really miscalculated. I didn't expect Wu Xinjun to be able to persuade the king. I didn't expect that Concubine Li's role is actually greater than that of the queen!" ;

Zhou Shaofen knew very well that on the surface it seemed that his eloquence was suppressed by Zhao Kuo, but in fact it was because of the power behind the two parties that it was Concubine Li who overwhelmed the Queen.

Therefore, when Zhao Kuo gained the upper hand in eloquence, King Zhao couldn't wait to choose Zhao Kuo immediately!

If it was Queen Zhou who had the upper hand, then King Zhao could have waited, and even directly opened his mouth to help Lian Po evade.

This court meeting seemed to be a debate victory, but in fact, the result was already doomed in King Zhao's mind before it even started.

Zhou Shaoliang's expression changed after hearing his brother's words, and he said angrily: "How can that brothel girl suppress even the queen?"Brother, don't worry, tomorrow I will let my wife enter the palace to meet the queen, and I will definitely let the brothel girl learn how good we are! ;

Zhou Shaofen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's absolutely impossible!"Do you still think that the king doesn't have a bad impression of us?Let me tell you, we must not touch Concubine Li now, otherwise it will only provoke even greater anger from the King! ;

Zhou Shaofen knew very well that King Zhao's character was that of a donkey, who would be very happy if he followed his words, and would be furious if anyone disobeyed him, and his anger would explode several times.

Concubine Li is so favored now, wouldn't it just give Concubine Li and Zhao Kuo more excuses to provoke Concubine Li?

Zhou Shaoliang was also helpless after hearing this, and said: "Brother, according to your statement, can we just let this matter go like this?" ;

Zhou Shaofen was silent for a while, and said: "At least for now, that's the only way to forget it, but Wu Xinjun did not win completely, we still have a chance." ;

Zhou Shaoliang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "What opportunity?" ;

Zhou Shaofen snorted, and said coldly: "Although Wu Xinjun brought Lian Po down, isn't the position of general general vacant again?"Even if he can make Li Mu the top general, we can still compete for the position of great Sima!

As long as we hold the position vacated by Lian Po in our hands, we still have three seats, and we can continue to compete with Wu Xinjun! ;

When Zhou Shaoliang heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What brother said is absolutely true!"Although we lost for a while, the matter has not yet settled. Zhao Kuo and the others are proud now, but after a while, they may be too proud too soon! ;

Zhou Shaofen rubbed his nose and said: "Since we have chosen to be self-reliant, there is no way out for you and my brother. Go see Lian Po first, and then have a good time with Wu Xinjun again in a few days." field! ;

Chapter 936 Lian Po's Sad Ending

Half an hour later, the Zhou brothers came to Lian Po's mansion.

Ever since he was released by the Qin people, Lian Po has been ordered to introspect in the mansion and wait for the result.

Lian Po also knew that today was the day of the court meeting, so after hearing about the arrival of the Zhou brothers, he immediately greeted them at the gate.

; Zhou Qing, how is the situation? The three of them had just entered the lobby and sat down when Lian Po couldn't wait to ask.

For Lian Po, he is very eager to get out of this catastrophe, and then make contributions to Zhao again.

Zhou Shaofen felt helpless, it was hard to talk about it.

But no matter what, the facts still have to be faced, Zhou Shaofen sighed and said: "General, I'm sorry, although I have used all the means, but Wu Xinjun is still better than the old man." ;

As soon as Lian Po heard this sentence, most of the hope in his heart was extinguished in an instant, and he said: "Zhou Qing, what do you mean;

Zhou Shaofen sighed again, and said: "General, from now on you will no longer be a general."Your Majesty has decreed that you will be stripped of all your official positions and demoted to a commoner. ;

Lian Po:;;

At this moment, Lian Po couldn't say anything.

For him, this result is undoubtedly very, very unacceptable!

Zhou Shaofen said: "General, you stay dormant for a while, and when you have the next opportunity, I will definitely think of a way for you." ;

After a long silence, Lian Po showed a smile uglier than crying, and said: "Thank you Zhou Qing." ;

Zhou Shaofen was not in the mood to stay any longer, so he stood up and said: "The old man will leave now." ;

After speaking, Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang left in a hurry.

The relationship between the two of them and Lian Po is just an ally. Now that Lian Po has been dismissed, the basis for this alliance no longer exists. Naturally, they will not do anything to comfort Lian Po.

Lian Po sat quietly in the hall alone, as if he had turned into a statue.

After a long time, an old woman walked into the lobby, who was Lian Po's first wife.

Mrs. Lian said: "Husband, it's time to eat." ;

Lian Po shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." ;

Mrs. Lian had obviously noticed something, and said softly: "Husband, is something wrong?" ;

Don't look at Lian Po's violent personality, but this Mrs. Lian is quite gentle.

Lian Po was dumb for a moment, then heaved a long sigh: "Madam, my husband is only a commoner again." ;

Mrs. Lian was obviously taken aback, but she should have been mentally prepared, and quickly regained her composure, and said softly: "Have you forgotten, husband, isn't this the first time this has happened?"I believe that my husband will always make a comeback! ;

Lian Po shook his head helplessly and smiled, the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness: "A comeback?"I hope so. ;

At this moment, the couple who had been together for more than 40 years were relatively silent, and the atmosphere in the lobby was miserable.

Lian Po suddenly felt a little regretful, and said to himself: "Perhaps, that decision at the beginning was really a very stupid decision!" ;

The news of Lian Po's official dismissal came from the Zhao court envoy who arrived an hour later, and officially promulgated the decree.

After learning of this decree, earth-shaking changes took place in Lian Po's mansion.

After hearing the decree, many disciples of Lian Po's house looked at each other in blank dismay, and then came to say goodbye to Lian Po one after another.

"General, I still have my old mother at home, this time I go back to serve my old mother, and I ask the general to forgive me." ;

"General, I have been admitted by the Border Cavalry Corps, and I am going to serve in the north. Please take care of me, General." ;

All kinds of excuses and reasons, but the purpose is the same dash; dash; they want to leave this mansion immediately, hope to leave Lian Po.

Regarding this scene, Lian Po showed unusual calmness.

He didn't lose his temper, but accepted everyone's farewell very calmly, and even gave a sum of travel expenses to those who left.

Lian Po's sons also didn't understand this: "Father, why do you waste your family's money on these traitors?" ;

Lian Po said lightly: "Just take it as a thought." ;

Lian Po knew very well that after being dismissed again this time, the hope of being able to recover was very slim.

The reason why he was able to recover last time was that on the one hand, Zhao Kuo's power was not strong enough at that time, and on the other hand, King Zhao had just ascended the throne, and he needed someone to contain Zhao Kuo in the army.

But now, Zhao Kuo has become the prime minister of the state of Zhao, and his power has never been stronger than before, and King Zhao has also been in power for a period of time, and it seems that his power is stable.

Without these two foundations, what will Lian Po do to come back?

Therefore, Lian Po quickly made a second decision: "Let's pass on the order, let all the clansmen get ready, we will move to Jinyang City in ten days' time!" ;

Jinyang City, also known as Taiyuan in later generations, although it is far away from the Central Plains, it was the place where Zhao Guo made his fortune back then.

Lian Po's decision was naturally questioned and persuaded by his sons and grandsons.

"Father, if you stay in Handan City, you may have a chance in the future, but Jinyang Jinyang is really far away from Handan!" ;

"Grandfather, you have to stay in Handan to have a chance to take revenge." ;

The straight-line distance between Jinyang and Handan is actually not far, but the problem is that if you want to travel from these two cities, you need to pass through the entire Taihang Mountains.

Once you go to Jinyang City, you basically want to get news about Handan, which is ten days and a half months ago or even longer, and the lag is too strong.

Facing the doubts from his children and grandchildren, Lian Po's calm expression finally turned sharp.

;A group of idiots, don't you know the result of staying?Now that Zhao Kuo is in power, the king has given up on me again. If Zhao Kuo says a word, our family will be beheaded in minutes! ;

When Lian Po said this, all the descendants were dumbfounded.

After a long while, one of Lian Po's sons said embarrassingly: "Mr. Wu Xin should not be so beheaded and killed, right?" ;

; Not so? Lian Po laughed out loud as if he had heard some great joke.

If it is really not the case, how did Yu Xin die, how did Lord Pingyuan die, and how did Lin Xiangru die?

After a while, Lian Po's laughter slowly stopped.

;Remember, Zhao Kuo's power is now beyond our power, so I won't provoke Zhao Kuo.But the old man will not be so stupid as to stay here and get caught!If you really think you can, then just stay and see if Zhao Kuo will be lenient to you! ;

Ten days later, Lian Po led hundreds of members of the Lian clan and left Handan City very low-key.
