Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and struck while the iron was hot, and first decided on the title of Concubine Li, the queen, by the way.

Concubine Li should have been very excited and happy when she heard this, but for some reason, the feeling in her heart at this moment is not strong at all.

Her gaze was so quietly locked on Zhao Kuo's body, with a bit of nostalgia, a bit of loss, and finally a bit of vague joy.

Women have always been a very complicated creature!Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some uneasiness: "Mr. Wu Xin, are you sure that other ministers think the same way?"

Zhao Kuo chuckled and nodded vigorously: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I think everyone must think so.

If someone can't think about it for a while, then I can do his ideological work! "

What a joke, with Zhao Kuo's current power, there are still things that cannot be resolved when the Zhou family is suppressed and cannot speak?

As long as Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, countless memorials recommending Concubine Li as the new queen would definitely fly into the palace like snowflakes.

Only then did Wang Zhao feel relieved, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then, Mr. Wu Xin, you should go and handle this matter together.

Remember, what I want to see is the approval of Concubine Li from Da Zhao! "

To put it bluntly, King Zhao was actually somewhat hesitant, and didn't want to take on the responsibility of "making a brothel woman the queen".

If many, many ministers put up memorials to ask Concubine Li to be the queen, it means that this matter is what the people want, and King Zhao is just following the wishes of the people, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with King Zhao.

This kind of logic sounds somewhat self-deceiving, but as long as Zhao Wang believes, it is enough.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile before leaving the hall.

This time Zhao Kuo behaved well, and when he left, he didn't even glance at Concubine Li, so as not to make any troubles with this "strange woman".

Zhao Kuo's guess was right, Concubine Li's eyes were fixed on Zhao Kuo all the time, watching Zhao Kuo leave.

King Zhao's voice suddenly rang in Concubine Li's ear: "What's wrong with Concubine Ai, are you grateful to Lord Wu Xin?"

Only then did Concubine Li come back to her senses, and realized that there was still King Zhao by her side.

Concubine Li screamed in her heart that something was wrong, if King Zhao saw something about this, it would be a big trouble.

The next moment, Concubine Li's face immediately showed an extremely charming expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xin is indeed a good helper for my concubine, but he is nothing more than a minister after all.

What the concubine really likes, cares about and appreciates the most is of course you, the king. "

As she spoke, Concubine Li's body suddenly became very soft, and she slowly fell into King Zhao's arms.

In the cold palace, Queen Zhou with disheveled hair was beating on the closed palace door in front of her, shouting non-stop.

"Let me out, I'm the queen of Zhao, how dare you stupid servants do this?

After I go out, I must kill all of you! "

However, no matter how Queen Zhou yelled, after so many days, the door was still closed as always, and there was no sign of opening it.

Finally, Queen Zhou gave up, and she staggered back to the empty palace covered in snow, and sat there sluggishly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing friction sound, and the palace door, which had been closed for a long time, opened.

Queen Zhou stood up in surprise, turned her head suddenly, and found a court lady leading a team of guards, slowly walking into the hall.

In Queen Zhou's eyes, the light of hope became more and more intense, but after she saw the face of the female officer clearly, she was suddenly struck by lightning: "You, why are you?"

This female official is none other than the confidant maid next to Concubine Li.

The confidant maid's name is Ya'er. She used to be just a submissive court lady, but now she has become the person "under one person and above ten thousand" among all the women in the harem.

Ya'er stared at Queen Zhou, and said coldly: "Master Zhou, Your Majesty has a decree to abolish your position as queen starting today, and at the same time deprive you of the custody of the eldest prince.

From now on, you can stay in this cold palace with peace of mind and spend your old age! "

Queen Zhou who had just stood up fell to the ground with a plop, her face full of disbelief: "How is this possible, how is this possible?"

Queen Zhou had actually thought about this possibility long ago, but when the matter really appeared in front of her, she still couldn't accept it.

Ya'er smiled coldly and said: "Zhou Shi, you should be grateful for the Queen's grace, otherwise you would be a dead person now.

By the way, the queen also arranged for a maid to serve you, so you can stay here in the future, as long as you don't mess around casually, you can still survive. "

"queen?"

Queen Zhou didn't come back to her senses all of a sudden, but after a few seconds she seemed to understand a little bit: "You mean the queen?"

Ya'er's smile became more playful: "Yes, the new queen, Queen Li!"

Queen Zhou paused.

She seemed to have turned into a clay statue, and there was no movement for a long time.

Ya'er glanced at Queen Zhou, shook her head, put King Zhao's will in Queen Zhou's hands, and then turned and left with the guards.

The heavy palace gate was closed again. It is unknown when it will be opened next time.

Perhaps, forever!The sky was slowly getting dark, and the palace became pitch black.

An old court lady walked in cautiously, lit a candle, and respectfully said to Queen Zhou: "My lord, I will be served by your servant from now on. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

A burst of piercing laughter suddenly sounded, and Queen Zhou laughed and shed tears at the same time.

"Is something wrong?

No, in this life, I don't have anything to do with me anymore! "

Handan City, Zhou Mansion.

The gate of the Zhou Mansion opened.

As one of Zhao Guo's important ministers, this gate can't be opened several times a year, and every opening represents the arrival of a very noble person.

The two brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang stood outside the lobby a little behind the gate, watching the eunuch Ling's carriage slowly enter from the gate.

Soon, Eunuch Ling came down from the carriage, and the Zhou brothers immediately went up to meet him.

Beside the Zhou brothers, there are many retainers and stewards of the Zhou family who also follow.

Eunuch Ling nodded solemnly towards the Zhou brothers, and the guards at the side brought a plate with a copy of King Zhao's will on it.

The eunuch ordered to pick up the edict and read aloud: "The two Zhou brothers acted foolishly and stupidly, and they really failed the widow's high expectations! However, looking at the previous actions, the Zhou brothers were quite loyal to the widow and Da Zhao, so The widow will let the past go, and after ordering the eunuch to reprimand the Zhou brothers, the confinement of the Zhou brothers can be lifted, and no additional punishment will be imposed!"

Hearing this, both Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang were taken aback.

King Zhao, you just forgave them like that?

But the next moment the Zhou brothers realized that they were too happy.

The eunuch's order then continued: "Zhou Shaoliang's daughter Zhou's daughter, as a queen, deliberately framed other concubines, causing chaos in the harem, which violates women's morality, and is not worthy of motherhood.

Therefore, from today onwards, the widow will abolish the queen queen of the Zhou family and make the Li family the new queen.

I hope you and other members of the Zhou family will take this as a warning, and I will not be an example! "

At this point, the entire will of King Zhao has been completely recited.

Listening to the eunuch's decree recited, all the members of the Zhou family, including the Zhou brothers, were dumbfounded.

Queen Zhou's father, Zhou Shaoliang, said in disbelief: "Eunuch Ling, the queen, the queen." Eunuch Ling sighed and said, "I'm sorry, from now on, there will be no more Queen Zhou."

Everyone in the Zhou family: "" At this moment, all members of the Zhou family are in very complicated moods.

Once upon a time, they all felt that with the queen's protection, the Zhou family would surely flourish.

They even felt that as long as the eldest prince born to the queen ascended the throne in the future, the power of the Zhou family would be no problem.

But now, everything has been completely wiped out according to the will of the abolished queen.

Although the official positions of brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang have not been further affected, the abolition of Queen Zhou means that the possibility of her eldest prince becoming the throne in the future is infinitely close to zero, which means that the future of the Zhou family is completely gone.

Eunuch Ling obviously knew that everyone in the Zhou family was in a bad mood, so he didn't stay too long, and left after handing over Zhou Shaofen's will.

Everyone in the Zhou family returned to the lobby without a word.

Suddenly, Zhou Shaoliang erupted, and slammed it on the table with a bang: "This must be Zhao Kuo's fault, this damn Zhao Kuo!"

Zhou Shaoliang couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and yelled at Zhao Kuo.

After all, Queen Zhou is Zhou Shaoliang's daughter. Now that her daughter has been abolished, her grandson's future is bleak, and the family's future is bleak, how can all these things prevent Zhou Shaoliang from breaking out?

Zhou Shaoliang is the No. [-] person in the Zhou family, he is so angry that no one can stop him except his brother Zhou Shaofen.

Zhou Shaofen didn't speak at first, but after a while he said with some difficulty: "Second brother, that's enough.

What's the use of you cursing here and there?

It's a done deal. "

This sentence immediately broke Zhou Shaoliang's psychological defense. He stopped yelling, sat there in great frustration, and said after a long time: "Then brother, tell me, what should we do?"

This rhetorical question also stopped Zhou Shaofen from asking.

Yes, what can I do?

Find a way to reconcile with Zhao Kuo?

If the Zhou family bowed their heads to Zhao Kuo before this incident happened, there might still be a little possibility of reconciliation.

But now, Zhao Kuo has taken action directly, abolishing the Queen's position of the Zhou family, and supporting Concubine Li to take the position.

There is no possibility of any mediation between the conflicts between the two parties. Whether Zhou is willing or not, he can only continue on the road of fighting Zhao Kuo.

It's just that if you continue to fight with Zhao Kuo, will you be able to win?

At least for the current Zhou family, few people think they can win.

Surrender, no one will accept.

A struggle that no one thinks can be won.

Front and back are all ways to go, and front and back are all dead ends.

What should I do?

This question came out of Zhou Shaoliang's mouth, and it caught Zhou Shaofen and everyone in the Zhou family.

In the huge lobby, there are dozens of people who are the most core members of the Zhou family. It should have been very lively, but now everyone can only feel the chills from the heart.

In fact, this winter is about to pass, and spring is coming, but for Zhou, this may be the most difficult winter in the past few decades until now!Zhou Shaofen sighed and spoke.

"My lord, at least my lord, my lord still hasn't exterminated our Zhou family.

As long as our Zhou family is still alive, we can continue to deal with Wu Xinjun.

Don't be discouraged, it is our Zhou family who are frustrated today, and Wu Xinjun will also taste the bitter fruit of failure in the future! "

Zhou Shaofen's words, in fact, even he himself is not sure, but at this moment, this is already the most inspiring words he can think of.

Chapter 964 New Year's New Plan, Who Will Hit Next

With Queen Zhou being deposed and the Zhou brothers being reprimanded, this incident that swept through all the high-level political circles of Zhao State in a short period of time and profoundly changed the fate of Zhao State came to an end.

In this incident, the biggest winner is undoubtedly Zhao Kuo's faction.

The care continued to help Concubine Li win the position of queen, and it dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Zhou brothers in Zhao's political arena, allowing Zhao Kuo's faction to completely suppress the Zhou brothers, and truly formed the state of Zhao. An overwhelming majority in politics.

It was precisely because of this political struggle that the Zhou brothers' strength shrank rapidly, and they lost several important official positions in a short period of time.

In Xianyang City, after hearing the news, Ying Zichu couldn't believe it, and let out a thunderstorm.

But Ying Zichu is thousands of miles away after all, and he has no focus on Zhao's political situation, so it is impossible for him to do other things besides scolding people very angrily.

Then, spring came.

The arrival of another spring is a good thing for the people of the entire Huaxia land.

In this era, winter is quite long and difficult to survive, but as long as they can survive the winter and usher in spring, it means that everyone can live at least another year.

It's just that although the common people are very happy, the monarchs and ministers of other countries except Zhao are not happy at all.

Because they are very aware of one thing, that is, when spring comes, Zhao Guoxin's expansion plan for the new year is likely to be put on the agenda again.

In the past two years, both the Yuan Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom have fallen one after another, and I don't know which country will become the next victim of the Zhao Kingdom?

Everyone was very disturbed, and they sent a large number of spies to Handan, hoping to find out what was going on.

They are also very clear that it is not Zhao Wang who can really decide the next goal, but the current Zhao Guo Xiangbang, the Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo who is under one man and above ten thousand.

For the next goal, Zhao Kuo certainly already had the answer in his heart.

He will announce this answer in the first court meeting of Zhao State in the spring.

For Zhao Guo, the announcement of the goals in previous years was held and confirmed at the end of winter, but this year, because Zhao Kuo first went to Daliang City, and then came back, he was involved in the affairs of Queen Zhou and Concubine Li , so this matter was naturally delayed.
