Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Chapter 937 The Great General and Great Sima Zhao Kuo Want Both

"Lian Po just left like that?" ;When hearing the news, Zhao Kuo was somewhat surprised.

From a normal point of view, Lian Po recovered a few years after he was dismissed last time, so many people think that this time Lian Po may not be hopeless.

But the premise of hope is that Lian Po will continue to stay in Handan City, and now Lian Po has actually gone to Jinyang City, which is tantamount to giving up this hope voluntarily.

Xu Li said: "According to the leaked rumors, Lian Po seemed to feel that if he continued to stay in Handan, he would be wiped out by the lord, so he left to avoid disaster." ;

If it were someone else, they would not dare to say it so bluntly, but Xu Li, as an old retainer who has served Zhao She, Zhao Kuo and his son for decades, is naturally different.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Cut the weeds and root them out?"How should I put it, this old general still takes himself too seriously. ;

Yu Xin, this was killed by the Qin spy chief Hou.

Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru were indeed killed by Zhao Kuo's strategy, but Zhao Wang and Zhou Shaofen also made great efforts in this, and the most important thing is that Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru belonged to the list of important ministers of Zhao Guo at that time.

Lian Po?A person who has been dismissed from office, and is dismissed from office for the second time, has little hope of coming back, and is too old to die of old age. To be honest, Zhao Kuo really doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

Now that Zhao Kuo is Prime Minister, he is too busy with major national affairs every day, how can he care about these defeated generals?

Besides, killing Lian Po is not good for Zhao Kuo except to vent his grievances. Others will even think that Zhao Kuo is too narrow-minded, which will invisibly affect Zhao Kuo's future plan to seize power.

Shaking his head, Zhao Kuo didn't bother to pay attention to Lian Po, but said to Xu Li: "You go and find Pang Qing and Li Mu, I have something to discuss with them." ;

Soon, Pang Nuan and Li Mu appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Today's matter is mainly for the position of the general." ;

Although Zhao Wang dismissed General Lian Po's official position in the last court meeting, he also left a back door, that is, he did not appoint a successor to the position of general on the spot.

Li Mu was eager to try, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to take this position." ;

A great Sima who doesn't want to be a great general is not a good Sima.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Of course you want to rush, and you must rush down this position!" ;

For Zhao Kuo, it was impossible for him to be both Xiangbang and General, and Pang Nuan was a civil servant who couldn't compete for the position of General, so Li Mu was naturally pushed out to compete for the position of General.

Li Mu is not without shortcomings. For example, Li Mu has made a lot of military achievements so far, but he lacks the record of leading a battlefield on his own.

But looking at the whole country of Zhao, there is no one other than Zhao Kuo who can achieve higher military exploits than Li Mu.

From this point of view, Li Mu really deserved his name to be the great general.

Once Li Mu became the general, Zhao Kuo took control of the top official positions of the two factions of civil servants and generals, which will undoubtedly be of great help to Zhao Kuo's next power seizure.

Pang Nuan nodded with a smile, and said: "This time, our confidence is still very high. After all, Zhou Qing should not be able to push out any strong candidates." ;

Over the years, the influence Zhao Kuo has cultivated in the army is not a joke. Today, the famous generals in Zhao Guo are basically from Zhao Kuo's faction.

On Lian Po's side, originally there were some forces, but the problem was that Lian Po had lost too many battles over the years, resulting in the death of many of his subordinates. A lot, completely out of date.

The army is such an occasion where strength speaks. Whoever can win will have a strong influence; whoever cannot win will be doomed to have no power to develop.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said: "It is indeed the case. I think the position of the general should be more than [-]% sure this time." ;

Li Mu was gearing up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after I become a general, you have to give me a chance to lead the army independently." ;

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, it's absolutely fine!" ;

For a while, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Zhao Kuo's side is the victor in both political struggles and foreign military operations, so this atmosphere is natural.

Pang Nuan stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "Maybe Zhou Qing will give up the position of Great General, but I think he will try his best to get the position of Great Sima." ;

Da Sima is lower than the Great General in terms of official position and influence, but as long as he wins Da Sima, Zhou Shaofen will still have three important minister seats in his hands, and he will be able to continue to deal with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo also nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and said: "It should be like this, so this time we will also take down the position of Da Sima." ;

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Pang Nuan and Li Mu were taken aback.

Li Mu said: "Is this feasible?" ;

From Li Mu's point of view, the difficulty of doing so is actually quite large. After all, even Li Mu knew that it would be difficult for King Zhao to allow the two official positions of General and Sima to be controlled by Zhao Kuo at the same time.

Although Pang Nuan didn't speak, it could be seen from the expression on his face that his thoughts were similar to Li Mu's.

In the ten years since Zhao Kuo's rise to the present, the Great General and the Great Sima have basically been controlled by people from different factions, and it has never happened that people from the same faction control these two positions together.

Zhao Kuo smiled lightly and said: "If it was before, this matter is really not feasible, but now with Concubine Li, everything is hard to say. ;

Concubine Li is a very important weapon.

In order for her second prince to win the throne, she will definitely devote a lot of energy to helping Zhao Kuo.

Things like pillow wind can easily make people lose their minds. This has been proved by countless kings in history.

Pang Nuan said: "But Concubine Li may not be willing to help us." ;

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth, so I will go to meet Concubine Li tomorrow and tell her that as long as she can support us in this matter, then I can support her as the queen!" ;

Everyone is an adult, so of course it is impossible to say lightly, "Please help me; let Concubine Li help out, but it needs to be exchanged for benefits."

The queen's position is undoubtedly the best interest for the current Concubine Li!

Chapter 938 Meeting Concubine Li Again

The next day, Zhao Kuo entered the palace and asked to see Concubine Li.

When seeing Concubine Li, Concubine Li was in a good mood, holding the second prince in her arms, and could hear the babbling sound from the baby.

The only thing that surprised Zhao Kuo was that Concubine Li met Zhao Kuo in her pajamas!

Pajamas, as the name suggests, will reveal some parts that are usually invisible to everyone, such as dash;dash; two sections of white, crisp, straight calves.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback by this, and he didn't dare to look up.

It's not that he didn't dare to watch it, the main reason is that if this matter spread to King Zhao, with King Zhao's stingy appearance, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble again.

It really deserves to be from a brothel, it is indeed a bit bold and unrestrained.Zhao Kuo complained secretly in his heart.

Concubine Li looked at Zhao Kuo's appearance, and let out a series of crisp laughter: "What's wrong, Mr. Wu Xin, is there something shameful about this Palace?"To make you avoid it like a snake and a scorpion?

Zhao Kuo coughed dryly, thinking that if you change places, I will look away and count myself as the loser.

Zhao Kuo said: "Concubine Li is joking. The so-called don't look at injustice. Ministers have their own morals. What should be done is still to be done."

Concubine Li's crisp laughter sounded: If you want me to tell you, men are all the same, they say no, but they think so much in their hearts!

It is naturally impossible for Zhao Kuo to answer this sentence.

The sound of Concubine Li's footsteps went away, and returned after a while.

Alright Wu Xin-jun, you can look up now.

Zhao Kuo glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and found that Concubine Li had changed into normal clothes, so he looked up calmly.

But the next moment, Concubine Li's words almost broke Zhao Kuo's defense: Wu Xinjun, do you think I'm in good shape?

Zhao Kuo:

Concubine Li was trembling again, and said with a smile: Unexpectedly, Wu Xinjun, the No. 1 general in the world, would dare not speak at times.

When Concubine Li spoke, her tone was soft and waxy, which made people feel the same feeling involuntarily.

Zhao Kuo thought to himself that this woman's ability to seduce people is simply perfect!

Zhao Kuo said: Concubine Li, I actually have something very important to say when I come here today.

Zhao Kuo also doesn't intend to continue talking nonsense with this woman, otherwise God knows what else she can say.

From Zhao Kuo's point of view, in the future he will definitely become the King of Zhao, and Concubine Li's goal is also to make her son, the second prince, the King of Zhao. I will not accept any hints or seductions from Concubine Li in this regard.

Concubine Li let out a sigh, and said: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu Xin is really a decent gentleman, you all go down, let Bengong and Mr. Wu Xin have a good talk!"

After a while, all the other guards and maids present retreated.

Only then did Zhao Kuo say: Concubine Li should have heard about General Lian Po recently, right?

Concubine Li nodded and said: What?Ben Gong also put in a lot of effort here.

Zhao Kuo said: That is of course, so Mr. Li's recent appointment letter of Zhongshan County Chief Shi has been promulgated.

The Lord Li that Zhao Kuo was talking about was naturally Concubine Li's father.

Although this father sold Concubine Li into a brothel, on the one hand, he is Concubine Li’s biological father after all, and on the other hand, Concubine Li also needs someone who is loyal and reliable enough to do some things outside the palace, so this Concubine Li’s My father also got the credit. From an ordinary scholar who was depressed and could only run to farm, he was promoted rapidly in the past two years.

Concubine Li snorted, and said: "The history of Zhongshan County Chief?"I don't know if Ben Gong's useless father is up to the job, you have to send someone to take good care of him, and don't let him cause any trouble.

It can be heard that Concubine Li is actually quite concerned about the fact that her father sold her into a brothel in her heart, and she was very rude when she spoke.

Of course, Zhao Kuo wouldn't gossip about this kind of other people's parents, but directly said: The position of General Lian Po is vacant, and the veteran hopes that the great Sima Li Mu can take over.

Concubine Li snorted, blinked her extremely seductive phoenix eyes, and said with a sudden smile: Even if I don't need to be involved in this matter, with Wu Xinjun's power, it is absolutely certain, right?

After Zhao Kuo heard these words, he was also a little surprised, and he couldn't tell that this concubine Li had understood it very well.

Zhao Kuo said: Yes, so the veteran hopes to take down the position of Da Sima, so that the veteran can better serve Concubine Li and the second prince.

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, the smile on Concubine Li's face disappeared.

Concubine Li narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "Wu Xinjun, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhao Kuo nodded: Of course the old minister knows what the old minister is talking about.

Concubine Li snorted, and said: Don't you think I'm a fool?You are now Xiangbang, and the general will soon be controlled by your man Li Mu. Under the circumstances, how can the king let your man be the chief minister again?

Zhao Kuo looked at Concubine Li and said calmly: "So the old minister needs Concubine Li's help."

This kind of thing, if it is not relying on the pillow wind to blow King Zhao unconscious, it is really impossible to do it.

Concubine Li shook her head directly: No, it's too difficult.

Zhao Kuo was not surprised by Concubine Li's refusal.

Zhao Kuo said: If Concubine Li can help, then the old minister can promise that after the matter is resolved, he will suggest dash;dash; to the king to abolish the empress.

To abolish the queen is to abolish the queen.

When Concubine Li heard this, her body trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her pretty face: What, what did you say?

Zhao Kuo said calmly: Doesn't Concubine Li want to be a queen?As long as Concubine Li is willing to help the veteran, then the veteran is also willing to help Concubine Li.

In the final analysis, if you want to get help in the political arena, you must pay enough benefits!

Concubine Li's chest heaved violently several times, but she still couldn't believe it: You, what you said is true?

Zhao Kuo nodded: No matter how boring the old minister is, he would not deceive Concubine Li on such a matter.

Concubine Li said: "Wait a minute, I think about it carefully."

There was a moment of silence in the palace.

Zhao Kuo waited calmly, without any tension in his heart.

Once Concubine Li can become the queen, it means that the second prince she gave birth to will also become the eldest son.

A legitimate son refers to the son born to the main wife (queen).The eldest son refers to the first son born to the main wife (queen).

Therefore, the eldest son is not necessarily the first son of King Zhao. It mainly depends on who the queen is. There are countless such examples in history.

Therefore, once Concubine Li wins the position of queen, the second prince can logically become the prince of Zhao State as the eldest son, and even the future king of Zhao State!

Zhao Kuo believes that this wave of himself is very stable!

Chapter 939 Arrangements for the Candidates for the Chief Sima

Sure enough, the next moment, Concubine Li's heart moved.

Concubine Li stared at Zhao Kuo, there was no charm or temptation in her eyes, only extreme seriousness.

"Wu Xinjun, are you sure your action will be successful?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Not sure."

Concubine Li said: "Are you talking about the position of Da Sima, or the position of Queen."

Zhao Kuo said: "I'm not sure."

Concubine Li suddenly laughed: "Not sure, then what are you going to say to Bengong?"
