Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

So Zhou Shaofen continued to speak: "To tell you the truth, the old minister actually has some other proposals."

King Zhao had just heard Zhou Shaofen's whole plan, and he was very satisfied with Zhou Shaofen, so he said with a smile: "If you have any other plans, just tell them directly."

Zhou Shaofeng hurriedly said: "I also feel that we should not kill Wu Xinjun openly, but should be in a relatively closed environment, such as blowing up Wu Xinjun directly in the palace city, which is more appropriate."

Why didn't Zhou Shaofen talk about mobilizing troops?

This is because Zhou Shaofen was worried that if he ambush a swordsman or something like that, Zhao Kuo's all-pervasive intelligence personnel might get wind of it.

But for things like burying explosives, only one or two people can do it, and the confidentiality is naturally raised to the highest level.

As long as Zhao Kuo dies, and with Li Mu's help, it will be much easier to deal with Zhao Kuo's other henchmen.

Zhao Wang squinted his eyes. He indeed guessed some of Zhou Shaofen's thoughts, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shaofen's supplementary opinion: "Why can you kill him publicly? Are you still afraid that he will fail as a courtier?"

For King Zhao, what he hopes most is to execute Zhao Kuo directly in full view, so that everyone can know what the majesty of kingship is!Zhou Shaofen shook his head again and again, and said, "My lord, that's not the case.

Please think about it, Your Majesty, among so many counties and counties in our Zhao country, they are all the party members of Lord Wu Xin.

If Wu Xinjun was executed publicly, news of his death would spread throughout the world immediately, and his party members would immediately rise up to make trouble.

With Wu Xinjun's power, I'm afraid our country of Zhao will be plunged into civil war at that time!But if we execute Wu Xinjun quietly, we can block the news as much as possible, and then we capture and eliminate Wu Xinjun's party members in Handan, and at the same time send envoys to various counties to remove those local party members of Wu Xinjun from their official positions and power.

In this way, it can play a role of surprise, and minimize the possible bad influence on our country of Zhao after the removal of Wu Xinjun. "

Zhao Wang listened, his brows gradually relaxed.

Yes, it's not enough to just get rid of Zhao Kuo, you have to uproot all of Zhao Kuo's henchmen.

Zhao Wang couldn't help but praised: "Zhou Qing, I saw that you have been suppressed by Wu Xinjun before, and I thought you were useless.

Now it seems that the widow underestimated you! "

After Zhou Shaofen heard this sentence, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

This king, you are really good at boasting!On the side, the eunuch Ling quietly listened to the pair of Zhao Guojun and his ministers discussing how to kill Zhao Kuo, with a faint smile on his face.

Who kills whom?

At this moment, the people in the game still don't know the outcome of the matter!

Chapter 1025 Zhao Kuo returned to Handan and was treated coldly

Later that day, the Zhou brothers left the palace in a carriage.

The younger brother Zhou Shaoliang seemed quite excited, and said with a smile to the elder brother Zhou Shaofen in front of him: "Brother, you are really right, although Wu Xinjun's power is already very powerful, but he has also attracted the vigilance of the king, and now he is the one It's time for ruin."

For Zhou Shaoliang, Zhao Kuo is definitely the one he wants to get rid of the most, not one of them.

Because Zhao Kuo has been suppressing Zhou Shaoliang in various ways over the years, Zhou Shaoliang has no power to fight back.

Zhou Shaofen seemed obviously not as excited as Zhou Shaoliang, he just said lightly: "This thing hasn't succeeded yet, it won't be too late for you to wait until it succeeds."

After Zhou Shaoliang heard this sentence, he was taken aback.

Said: "Is there any accident in this matter?

Could it be that the King's side has also been placed, and the spies from Zhao Kuo's side are not enough? "

Zhou Shaofen shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu Xin is not a fool. It is a very risky act to plant spies next to the king. Once the king finds out, the king and him will immediately break up. Presumably he will not do that.

But don't forget, he is on good terms with the queen, and it is not surprising that there are people who sympathize with him on the queen's side, so we must be careful not to let this matter go into the wind. "

Zhou Shaoliang nodded, then remembered something, gritted his teeth and said: "That damned whore in the brothel caused our Zhou clan's queen position to be lost, and after Zhao Kuo was liquidated, this brothel girl must die too. "

You must know that the previous queen of Zhou was Zhou Shaoliang's daughter, and the eldest prince was also Zhou Shaoliang's grandson, so Zhou Shaoliang was definitely very eager to regain the queen's position.

Zhou Shaofen shook his head slowly, and said: "There are priorities, let's not worry about the Queen's position first, but get rid of Zhao Kuo first.

As long as Zhao Kuo is eliminated, the rights in the entire Zhao Kingdom will belong to us. At that time, we are slowly making arrangements, and naturally we can regain the queen's position.

But right now, if we go to war with Zhao Kuo and Queen Li at the same time, then maybe the attitude of the king will change, which will make things unfavorable to us, understand? "

Although Zhou Shaoliang was indeed very anxious, after hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, he could only nod his head helplessly and said, "That's all right, get rid of Zhao Kuo first, and then make other plans."

It seems that there is no suspense in the matter, and we just need to wait for Li Mu's return.

The only problem is that Li Mu won't be able to come back for a while, after all, the war on Qi's side is not over yet.

What is surprising is that the people of Qi broke out with stronger fighting power after they had already learned that King Qi had been captured.

Among the other soldiers that Li Mu sent out, only one went smoothly, while the other soldiers all encountered setbacks by coincidence.

So after Li Mu left an army to guard Linzi City, he continued to lead an army of 6 to march eastward to conquer the remaining cities of Qi.

Li Mu's action was immediately reported to King Zhao. King Zhao was quite speechless when he heard it, but King Zhao also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. On the contrary, if he was too eager, Zhao Kuo would see something abnormal. So of course he agreed.

Therefore, Li Mu has not yet returned, but Xu Li and Zhao Kuo have returned to the court successively.

Xu Li was the closest, so he came back a few days faster than Zhao Kuo.

Since no war broke out on Xu Li's southern front and Zhao Kuo's western front this time, naturally there will be no grand welcome and triumphant ceremony.

Su Li was obviously quite dissatisfied with this: "This king is too much. Although he didn't win the battle, at least we expelled the enemies from Qin and Chu for Da Zhao. He didn't even put on a show. willing?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This is the king, young people, although they say they are not impatient, they will actually show their feet."

For Zhao Kuo, any triumphal ceremony is actually a trivial matter. In the past ten years, which year has Zhao Kuo not returned triumphantly, and which year has he not been cheered by the crowd?

As for this year, although there is no triumphant victory that everyone cheers, Zhao Kuo knows that another grand and completely different triumphant ceremony is already waving to him!Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth.

According to the regulations of the State of Zhao, the first thing for a general to do when he returns to Handan is to enter the palace, return the tiger amulet, and return the axe to the ancestral temple. Of course, Zhao Kuo is no exception this time.

Although no triumphal ceremony was held, King Zhao still had to be present for ceremonies such as returning the tiger talisman and the axe.

In front of the ancestral temple, Zhao Kuo met King Zhao.

"I have seen the king."

Zhao Kuo was as calm as ever.

Zhao Wang's gaze towards Zhao Kuo was obviously more complicated, and he said after a while: "Wu Xinjun, you don't need to be too polite."

Next, is to hold the ceremony step by step.

Today's ancestral temple is very deserted, and the same is true inside the ancestral temple. There are only Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo.

King Zhao watched Zhao Kuo respectfully put the ax back to its original place, and suddenly said, "Wu Xinjun, I heard that when you were fighting against the people of Qin, you had a meeting with Qin general Wang Jian?"

Zhao Kuo paused and said, "Yes, I want to see if I can persuade Wang Jian to surrender and serve our great Zhao."

"Persuading Wang Jian to surrender?"

King Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's really not that simple. Wang Jian actually has a heart for Qin. What I can do now is to plant a nail in his heart. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

King Zhao chuckled and said, "The widow thinks that maybe it won't be needed."

Zhao Kuo didn't speak.

In such an atmosphere, the two left the Jongmyo together.

Subsequently, the eunuch order announced the reward to Zhao Kuo.

It is said to be a reward, but it is still because there is no war, so the so-called reward this time is actually some money that is not painful, which is completely meaningless to Zhao Kuo.

Next, there was no celebration banquet to speak of, so King Zhao let Zhao Kuo go home directly.

Zhao Kuo had no objection, and returned home happily to reunite with his wife and children.

That night, a secret guest came to Zhao Kuo's study.

Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at the eunuch Ling in front of him, and said with a smile: "I will tell you the truth, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chapter 1026 The Final Stand of the Eunuch Order

The eunuch Ling bowed to Zhao Kuo, sat down, and then said to Zhao Kuo in a very hasty tone: "Mr. Wu Xin, something serious happened, and the king wants to do something to you!"

Eunuch Ling originally thought that Zhao Kuo would be very shocked after saying this, but he found that the expression on Zhao Kuo's face did not change at all.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the eunuch, "When will we do it?"

Zhao Kuo's reaction made the eunuch a little surprised. Could it be that Zhao Kuo already knew about it?

If that's the case, it seems that the eunuch Ling's trip is of little significance.

But the eunuch Ling thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that if Zhao Kuo had already known about it, then with Zhao Kuo's ability, this wave of King Zhao had no chance of winning at all.

Now the eunuch Ling was completely relieved, so he said to Zhao Kuo: "Mr. Wu Xin, the thing is like this, the king has summoned the two brothers Zhou Shaofen, and he intends to wait for Li Mu's commander-in-chief to return to the court. !"

After finishing speaking, the eunuch Ling did not hide anything, and directly told Zhao Kuo everything about the entire meeting just now.

Zhao Kuo listened to the eunuch order's words with a calm expression, and was also moved in his heart.

This little King Zhao really has grown up in the court for too long, the so-called plan is really nothing new.

Zhao Kuo said slowly, "So, Your Majesty intends to use explosives to blow me up to death?"

Eunuch Ling nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zhao Kuo said: "Since the king wants to get rid of me, why did the eunuch order tell me about it?"

The eunuch ordered a meal when he heard the words.

Zhao Kuo's words sounded a bit weird, but as an old fritter who had been in the palace for many years, Eunuch Ling could of course hear Zhao Kuo's meaning at once.

What Zhao Kuo needs is the statement of eunuch order.

Is it because eunuch Ling didn't want Zhao Kuo to die, or eunuch Ling took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, this old man was loyal to the late king before.

After the death of the former king, the old man became loyal to the queen mother and the current king.

From the old man's point of view, these three people, although they are not faint emperors, they definitely have nothing to do with Ming emperors.

But Wu Xinjun, you are different.

Only with Wu Xinjun present can the present glory of the Zhao Kingdom be achieved.

Therefore, the old man feels that whether it is the old man himself, or the whole country of Zhao, the only way out is to follow Wu Xinjun! "

This is the eunuch Ling's statement, he chose to be loyal to Zhao Kuo!Zhao Kuo looked at the eunuch order and smiled.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said: "If there is no accident, the king really wants to bury explosives at that time, and the eunuch must order you to do this, right?"

Eunuch Ling nodded and said, "It should be.

It is absolutely impossible for the king to rest assured that other people will place things like explosives, and neither can the Zhou Brothers.

After all, the old man has been in the court for so many years, so this thing can still be done.

By the way, if Mr. Wu Xinjun needs it, the old man can find a way to get some explosives and send them to the mansion. "

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I don't need the explosives, Eunuch Ling, after you go back to the court, remember not to do anything, don't let the king have any doubts about you.

Just wait until the day the king asks you to do it, and you send someone to notify me. "

Regarding Zhao Kuo's order, eunuch Ling naturally nodded his head in response.

Zhao Kuo patted the eunuch Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have never lost before, and this time it is also impossible to be a loser!"

In the words, the domineering spirit was revealed spontaneously.

Seeing Zhao Kuo like this, eunuch Ling's heart suddenly became much more stable.

After a while, the carriage in which the eunuch Ling was sitting quietly left along the back door of Wu Xinjun's mansion.

Sitting on the carriage, the eunuch made his thoughts fluctuate.

"Wu Xinjun is not surprised at all today, it seems that he has already known that the king may want to attack him.

However, only the Zhou brothers and the old man were present when the king was discussing this matter. Could it be that the Zhou brothers belonged to Wu Xinjun?

Impossible, the Zhou brothers have clearly enmity with Wu Xinjun to this point, they should not be Wu Xinjun's people.

No, there is also the queen. Could it be that the queen is also wrong, the queen never met Wu Xinjun before entering the palace, how is it possible? "

Eunuch Ling thought about it in his heart, until his carriage drove into the palace city, but he couldn't figure out who Zhao Kuo belonged to.

Finally, Eunuch Ling gave up thinking.

"Alright, that's actually fine.

If even Wu Xinjun's allies like the old man can't see through Wu Xinjun's methods, then the king and the Zhou family will naturally be even more ignorant of Wu Xinjun's methods.
