Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Without the help of my brothers and sisters, your future in Zhao Guo's political arena will be very difficult! "

From Zhou Shaofen's point of view, the conversation has already reached this point, no matter how stupid Li Mu is, he should fall to his side.

There was silence in the hall, and the Zhou brothers quietly waited for Li Mu to make the final decision.

Finally, Li Mu spoke.

"What Zhou Qing said, I have to admit that some of it is very reasonable.

However, Lord Wu Xin is kind to this Marquis after all, he does have some opinions on this Marquis now, but this Marquis will not necessarily go against him.

So, Zhou Qing, please go back. "

After the Zhou brothers heard Li Mu's answer, they were dumbfounded.

Li Mu's meaning was already very obvious, that is, he would not join the Zhou Brothers!Zhou Shaofen hurriedly said: "General, you." Li Mu waved his hand decisively, interrupting Zhou Shaofen's next words: "Zhou Qing, I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say any more.

Come on, see off! "

A moment later, the Zhou brothers left Li Mu's mansion in a carriage in a very depressed mood.

Zhou Shaoliang said very unhappy: "This Li Mu is too ignorant of flattery! Now Zhao Kuo is going to tease him, and we kindly want to help him, but he still doesn't want to cooperate with us?"

In Zhou Shaoliang's view, this Li Mu is simply the greatest idiot among idiots!Zhou Shaofen also had a dignified expression, and said after a long time: "Perhaps, we underestimated the king in this matter."

"Your Majesty?"

Zhou Shaoliang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

Zhou Shaofen snorted, and said, "Think about it carefully, the reason why Li Mu and Wu Xinjun are in trouble now, who is behind it?

If it weren't for the words and performance of the king before, do you really think that Wu Xinjun's city would be so irritated, and it would be so easy to tear his face directly with Li Mu? "

After Zhou Shaoliang heard these words, he was quite surprised, and after a while he said: "Could it be that Li Mu is the king?"

Zhou Shaofen let out a hey, showing a wry smile: "After a long time, it turns out that the person who really benefits is the king, and we are all happy in vain!"

Zhou Shaoliang: "" The Zhou brothers have come to their senses now, and understand why Li Mu rejected his family decisively.

Zhou Shaoliang said bitterly: "It seems that our great king is no less ambitious than Lord Wu Xin!"

Zhou Shaofen shook his head speechlessly, and said after a while, "It doesn't matter, as long as Wu Xinjun's power is weakened, it is acceptable to us."

Zhou Shaofen also wanted to understand at this time, if Zhao Wang wants to intervene, let Zhao Wang do it, as long as Li Mu really leaves Zhao Kuo, it will be a heavy blow to Zhao Kuo.

Next, the Zhou brothers still hope to rely on Zhao Wang's support to continue to compete with Zhao Kuo in the political arena.

Compared with the previous situation where they were completely inferior and couldn't resist Zhao Kuo at all, this situation is much better for the Zhou Brothers now.

It's just that after all, this feeling of being treated like a monkey still makes the Zhou brothers very upset!They never expected that it was not Zhao Kuo who played tricks on them, but the young King Zhao.

Later that day, King Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.

"So, the Zhou Brothers got stuck with Li Mu?"

Eunuch Ling nodded and said: "That's true. Our people saw the Zhou brothers' faces were extremely gloomy when they left. After returning to the mansion, Zhou Shaoliang even found an inexplicable reason to scold several confidants severely. One pass."

Zhao Wang laughed loudly and said: "These two old bastards, they really treat themselves as dishes.

Is it so easy for the widows to snatch away the person they want? "

Don't look at Zhao Wang as if he didn't do anything, in fact, Zhao Wang invested in Li Mu much earlier than the Zhou brothers, and paid more.

Entering the palace with the car at the triumphant ceremony, talking heart-to-heart in the ancestral temple, drinking and chatting together at the celebration banquet, as well as giving the title of Wu Shengjun and many awards, all these are Zhao Wang's investment in Li Mu.

What about the Zhou brothers?

Want Li Mu to join the group just by talking?

What a beautiful idea!King Zhao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's pass down the decree, let Li Mu enter the palace to see the widow tomorrow!"

When the matter came to this point, Zhao Wang felt that it was time to start to collect the net, and really included Li Mu, a big fish, in his bag.

The next day, Li Mu entered the palace on time.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Mu saluted King Zhao.

King Zhao laughed loudly, and stepped forward to help Li Mu up: "General, you are the most trusted servant of the widow, why are you so polite?

The widow is in a good mood today, you and the widow go to the imperial garden for a walk. "

The two came to the imperial garden and sat down in a gazebo in the garden.

Zhao Wang smiled at Li Mu: "I heard that you have had some conflicts with Wu Xinjun recently?"

As a king, King Zhao was naturally able to ask such words without any scruples.

Li Mu's face changed slightly, and after a while he said: "Unexpectedly, this matter has already been known by the king."

Zhao Wang laughed and said: "You are not right, I am the king of the Zhao country, what is there in the Zhao country that I don't know?

In fact, I think that your thinking is too rigid! "

Li Mu was a little puzzled: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

King Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xin may have turned against you for some reason, but if you think about it carefully, is it true that Mr. Wu Xin has the final say in our country of Zhao?

There will always be someone to support you, and as a courtier, what is your most important duty, shouldn't you need someone to tell you? "

Li Mu's body shook, and he suddenly woke up like a dream. He got up and left the table, and knelt down towards King Zhao.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. From now on, Li Mu will definitely be loyal to His Majesty until death!"

Looking at this scene, Zhao Wang finally couldn't hold back the pride in his heart, and laughed out loud.

A few seconds later, King Zhao stood up and helped Li Mu up very kindly.

"Okay, you will be your own from now on, don't be so polite!"

Faced with King Zhao's attitude, Li Mu was naturally sincere and fearful, and repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the king.

At this point, a big stone in Zhao Wang's heart has completely landed.

Finally conquered Li Mu, successfully opened a gap in Zhao Kuo's faction, and successfully controlled a member of his own who was completely loyal to King Zhao among the important officials.

This is a great victory for King Zhao to be in power for so many years!King Zhao was in a good mood, and smiled at Li Mu: "By the way, you should also have a confidant force that can be completely loyal to you and will not be controlled by Lord Wu Xin, right?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, my lord has indeed had some good subordinates in the army over the years.

It's just... Zhao Wangdao: "It's just what? "

Li Mu said: "Presumably the king also knows that the ministers came all the way from Chi You's army, so most of these confidantes are also from Chi You's army.

But Chi You's army is a unit trained by Wu Xinjun, this... Zhao Wang finally understood, and said with a very hearty smile: "What do you think it is, this is also a matter?

The widow will tell you directly, you were Wu Xinjun's retainer before, so the widow can use you the same way, can the widow not use them because of their Chi You army background?

You go and tell them that as long as they are as loyal to the widow as you are, then the widow can also promote them to be used by the widow, no problem! "

Only then did Li Mu feel relieved, and respectfully said to King Zhao, "Then please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will find them when I get back, and talk to them about this matter.

After two or three days at most, the matter should be over. "

Zhao Wang nodded with a smile and said: "That would be great, remember to draw up a list when the time comes, and report whoever is suitable for what position.

Isn't it just now that the credit for the demise of South Korea has not been fully rewarded?

The widow takes this opportunity to directly arrange all your subordinates at that time! "

After Li Mu listened, he naturally thanked him again and again.

The matter was finally finalized, King Zhao was also in a good mood, chatted with Li Mu for another day, and kept Li Mu down for dinner before letting Li Mu go home.

This news was also noticed by many caring people.

The Zhou brothers sat in the study, looking at each other.

Zhou Shaofen sighed: "It seems that our conjecture has been confirmed, it is indeed the king."

Zhou Shaoliang snorted with a gloomy face: "It's unexpected that this king actually has such a method."

Zhou Shaofen suddenly laughed again: "In fact, this may not be a bad thing.

If the king has the means, there will inevitably be more conflicts with Wu Xinjun in the future. At that time, we will be the ones who can really fish in troubled waters and gain benefits, won't we? "

Apart from the Zhou brothers, the other person who got the news was of course Zhao Kuo.

After Su Li finished reporting to Zhao Kuo, he said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that the general's acting skills are still very good. Whether it is the Zhou brothers or the king, they are all fooled by him."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "That's right, so don't think that honest people won't cheat. If a real honest person cheats, it will kill you!"

When he said this, Zhao Kuo's eyes shone with an inexplicable light!

Chapter 998 In fact, this is all Zhao Kuo's scheme (second update)

Since King Zhao asked Li Mu to submit the list, Li Mu would naturally not be polite.

Two days later, Li Mu immediately reported a new list to Zhao Wang, which stated that they were all people who were very close to Li Mu.

Zhao Wang almost didn't think about the list presented by Li Mu. He just wrote the word "accurate" on it with a swipe of a pen, then took out the jade seal, and slapped it on.

With Zhao Wang's review and Yuxi's seal, this decree immediately became an appointment and promulgated.

When it was promulgated, of course this decree had to go through Zhao Kuo's hands. After all, it would be inappropriate if Xiangbang was not notified of such a big matter.

As soon as Zhao Kuo saw this decree, he immediately brought it to King Zhao and raised an objection.

"Your Majesty appointed dozens of leading generals at one time, but they didn't pass the court meeting. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Zhao Kuo's meaning is obviously very obvious, that is, to oppose.

Zhao Wang looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, of course he also knew why Zhao Kuo objected.

You must know that after Lian Po was dismissed, the positions of the two giants in the military were monopolized by people from Zhao Kuo's group, so the official positions in the military were basically taken by generals from Zhao Kuo's group.

Now that Li Mu's confidants want to be promoted, where does the official position come from?

Of course it was snatched from under Zhao Kuo's ass.

Zhao Kuo lost the official positions of dozens of leading generals at one time. Who wouldn't be in a hurry?

Zhao Wang smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "These are all meritorious soldiers of our Zhao country, and the widow's appointment of them is completely reasonable, so there is no need to go through the court.

Besides, you have also seen the ability of General Li Mu. I am very relieved that his people will control the army.

Wu Xinjun, you are Xiangbang now, you need to take care of Xiangbang's affairs.

As for those things that do not belong to Xiangbang, let the people who should take care of them take care of them. "

Zhao Wang's words also implied mystery, and he believed that with Zhao Kuo's political wisdom, he would definitely understand.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuo was silent for a while after listening to King Zhao's words, and then said: "My lord, if this continues, the combat effectiveness of the army may be unstable."

Zhao Wang disagreed: "General Li Mu is not a fool. If the army's combat effectiveness is really unstable at that time, the widow will naturally question him. Don't worry."

Seeing that King Zhao could not be persuaded, Zhao Kuo could only sigh in disappointment and left the palace.

Looking at the back of Zhao Kuo leaving, Zhao Wang showed a smile.

Of course he knew that Zhao Kuo would object, but this time the matter was originally planned by King Zhao to target Zhao Kuo, so how could he give up halfway?

"Now, I hope that Li Mu will not disappoint the hope of the widow, and can develop his power in the shortest possible time."

Zhao Wang said to himself.

At this moment, from behind the screen not far away, Queen Li's soft voice came out: "Your Majesty, don't hurry up, the concubine is waiting impatiently!"

King Zhao's spirit lifted, and he immediately showed a man's smile: "I understand, I understand, here we come, here we come!"

After some cloud and rain, Queen Li couldn't help but make a request.

"Your Majesty, it is already hard enough for Wu Xinjun to be suppressed now, why don't you just let him go?"

For Queen Li, although Li Mu is the strength of King Zhao, he is not an ally of Queen Li.

Only Zhao Kuo is the real helper who can really make Queen Li, especially the second prince born of Queen Li, ascend the throne in the future!Therefore, Queen Li's position in this struggle is actually different from that of King Zhao.

What Zhao Wang wants to do is to support Li Mu and seize power from Zhao Kuo.

But Queen Li hoped that the greater the power of Zhao Kuo, the better!After hearing Queen Li's words, Zhao Wang was obviously a little upset, and he wanted to get angry when he frowned.

But looking at the pitiful expression of Queen Li in his arms, Zhao Wang was silent for a while, and sighed: "Okay, I know.

As long as Wu Xinjun is obedient and obedient, the widow will definitely not suppress him in a short time. "
