Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

This time Zhao Wang went to the Zhou Brothers, it really didn't mean that he had nothing to do at all, but he also had something serious to discuss.

Zhou Shaofen hurriedly took out a few sheets of paper with names written on them from his bosom, and said with a smile: "Please look, Your Majesty, these are the list of Zhao Kuo's confidantes, and all of them have been listed by Your Majesty."

Zhao Wang roughly scanned the above list, and he couldn't help being a little surprised: "There are so many?"

You must know that there are at least a hundred names on a piece of paper. Wouldn't there be hundreds of names on these few pieces of paper?

These names are all officials of Zhao State!Facing Zhao Wang's suspicious gaze, Zhou Shaofen hastily explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Zhao Kuo has been able to train hundreds of officials every year by using his relationship with the academy these years.

Some of these officials are still honest after they come out to work, but some of them have been completely bought by Zhao Kuo, and they are devoted to him.

The list of veterans was also selected after careful selection. The people on it are definitely not that innocent, and they can all be killed quickly. "

King Zhao fell into deep thought, snorted after a long while, and said, "Forget it, since they are all facing Zhao Kuo, it would be no pity to kill them all at that time.

It is necessary to operate well, otherwise, if there is any problem in the local area, I will ask you two! "

Zhou Shaofen laughed immediately when he heard the words: "Don't you feel relieved, the old minister?

There will be absolutely no problems, although Zhao Kuo seems to be famous now, but soon all his forces will be completely uprooted by us, and he will disappear from Zhao Guozhong forever! "

Zhou Shaofen's words can be said to have really reached King Zhao's heart, and King Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, very good, let me show you how you handle things!"

Amidst the laughter, Eunuch Ling watched all this quietly, but sneered in his heart.

You people, don't you know that you need to think carefully before doing something?

How could Wu Xinjun be defeated so easily?

Innocent!

Chapter 1031 Fermentation of Public Opinion King Zhao is furious

Zhao Kuo's memorial was sent up, but did not get any response.

Not only Zhao Kuo, but all the ministers of Zhao Kuo's faction did not get any response to the memorials about King Qi.

In this regard, Zhao Kuo was not surprised at all.

"This is the style of the king. He will not choose to be patient, but he will not choose to be hypocritical."

Zhao Kuo said calmly to the many confidantes in front of him.

If Zhao Kuo was in the position of King Zhao, Zhao Kuo would choose to voluntarily back down and issue an edict of guilt.

This edict of self-crime can minimize the vigilance and help Li Mu launch a fatal blow when he returns.

In history, there have been many people who waited for the opportunity with hypocrisy and obscurity.

Take Zhao Wang’s grandfather, Zhao Hui Wang for example. When Zhao Hui Wang first came to the throne, the government was completely controlled by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui. Zhao Hui Wang had been a puppet for decades, and finally found a chance Together with Han Xuwei, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and others, they eradicated Li Dui and regained power.

On this point, Zhao Wang is obviously far behind his grandfather.

Xu Li said: "This is also the disadvantage of not having the father to teach. The late king passed away too early, and there are many things that have not had time to teach."

Zhao Kuo thought deeply when he heard the words, then nodded slightly.

King Zhao Hui was only in his forties when he died, which led to the succession of King Zhao Xiang in his teens, and then King Zhao Xiang was poisoned to death by Guo Zong within a few years of his succession. Just a little kid, which caused a generational gap in the education of the Zhao royal family.

It is true that the royal family can designate some ministers to teach the underage princes knowledge, but the real key "emperor's art" is obviously only the emperor himself can teach it in person, and it is overstepping if others teach it.

Therefore, once the reigning emperor dies early, the next little princes will have no experience in the art of emperors at all, and will naturally be played around by those experienced ministers. This is also a history. law.

Zhao Kuo felt that after he ascended the throne in the future, this issue must be taken seriously!Don't ask for thousands of generations, but at least you can't let your descendants and heirs be idiots in the future, and be played by courtiers like puppets.

Pang Nuan's words interrupted Zhao Kuo's thoughts: "Wu Xinjun, since the king does not accept the move, what should we do?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty won't accept the move?

Our trick this time is really not that he just picks it up if he wants to. "

As he said that, Zhao Kuo also glanced at Su Li beside him, and said, "Let our people spread the word and use the fastest speed to let the whole world know that this Marquis led a group of ministers to kill the King of Qi." The atrocities launched a protest!"

Su Li immediately nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, it's already been prepared!"

You must know that the Nightingale system has been created by Zhao Kuo for so many years. Zhao Kuo has invested more than half of his annual income in the Nightingale system, and it has already become an extremely huge system.

Handan is the headquarters of the Nightingale system, and Nightingale's minions can be said to be everywhere. Even many "Zhao State intelligence personnel" on the surface are also Nightingale's spies in secret.

Therefore, by the afternoon of that day, a storm of public opinion had already set off in the entire Handan City.

In Handan City, a certain tavern.

A: "What, King Qi is dead?"

B: "Yes, he died in the former Qi State embassy."

A looked shocked: "The king of Qi will not die sooner or later, he will die as soon as he arrives in Handan, could it be that?" , that happened last night."

A: "What?

Could it be that "B:" Cough cough, heaven knows and earth knows, you know me and I know it. "

A: "This" At this time, C who was next to him also said: "Don't know what you know, I know, this morning, Mr. Wu Xin led a group of ministers to write a paper to protest against the king's private execution of King Qi!" I hope that the king will arrange a state funeral for King Qi and apologize publicly!"

A and B gasped at the same time, A said: "Mr. Wu Xin wants the king to apologize?

This, is this too contrary to the way of a courtier? "

Bing said: "What is the way of a courtier?

That is the way to assist the king to do good!Your Majesty has now killed King Qi without authorization, and if it spreads, it will be a great disgrace to our Zhao country, and everyone in the world will think that we Zhao people have no grace at all!Wu Xinjun's admonition at this time is the real loyalty, and that is the real dedication to the country! "

A and B looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they suddenly felt that this was the truth.

A couldn't help but sighed, and said: "It's a pity, I heard that the king is a self-willed person, even if a minister like Wu Xinjun advises, it may not be useful."

Yi said: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty likes killing people very much.

My neighbor's youngest son works in the palace, and he hasn't been back for two months. A few days ago, the family suddenly placed a coffin, saying that he was executed by the king, alas. "

A was silent for a while, and said: "It's not a matter of a day or two since the king likes to kill people, even Lord Wu Xin can't change him, how can we change it?

Okay, don't talk about these frustrating things, just concentrate on eating wine and vegetables! "

According to common sense, it would take several days for the ferment of public opinion in Handan City to be noticed by the palace.

But this afternoon, many spies from Zhao State's intelligence system in Handan City all went to the emergency report and reported the incident.

As the real manager of Zhao Guo's intelligence system, Eunuch Ling couldn't help frowning when he saw so many memorials in front of him.

"How does this feel like?" The eunuch rolled his eyes a few times, picked up one of the memorials that described the situation most seriously, walked out of the room, and went to the palace where King Zhao was.

In the palace, King Zhao is having wine with Queen Li, and the two are intimate, you and me.

The eunuch Ling walked quickly to King Zhao, whispering in his ear, "Your Majesty, something is wrong in Handan City, please take a look at this information."

Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand with some displeasure, and accepted the information from the eunuch Ling.

Looking at it, Zhao Wang's face gradually turned livid.

Queen Li was sitting in Zhao Wang's arms, so she saw the information clearly, and she couldn't help but look a little surprised on her pretty face: "Well, these little people dare to talk about the king like this?

It is too much! "

It's okay if Queen Li didn't say anything, but when she said it, it immediately aroused the anger in King Zhao's heart.

Who can resist losing face in front of the woman he loves?

Zhao Wang looked up at the eunuch order, and said coldly: "You immediately send people to search and arrest the widow. Anyone who dares to talk about the widow in public will be killed without any interrogation!"

King Zhao was really angry.

If the widow can't deal with Zhao Kuo, can't he also deal with you ordinary people?

Chapter 1032 The Tyrant Zhao Yan Be Careful and Become the Next Shang Zhou King

As the king, King Zhao's anger quickly surfaced.

In the early morning of the next day, when the restaurant had just opened and the guests started talking about it for another day, things changed.

A big bearded man was frothing: "Let me tell you, the death of King Qi is definitely a sign of your lack of loyalty.

Rangers like us, although they are also domineering on weekdays, but the basic rules and loyalty must be respected, otherwise, who will respect you in the future?

But what about the king, the king just did everything right!Think about it, King Qi is killed like this now, if in the future Qin, Chu or some other messy country comes over, what will happen to the King?

Alas, that's why I said," the bearded man was so excited that he didn't notice when the tavern had become completely silent.

A hand stretched out gently, and patted the cheek of the bearded man.

The bearded man was furious immediately, and he turned his head and said, "Which son dared to shoot Naigong?" The bearded man's words suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became frozen.

The one who slapped him in the face was obviously an official in Handan City, and behind this official were several menacing guards.

The official said with a half-smile: "It's you who are talking nonsense here, talking about your majesty?"

For "people on the road" like the bearded man, they are most afraid of these officials, so after seeing the officials, the bearded man's arrogance disappeared, and he smiled apologetically: "This official misunderstood, the little one is just The official snorted heavily: "Tied!"

Several guards stepped forward directly, and the bearded man didn't dare to resist, allowing the guards to tie him up, but he kept begging for mercy.

Although this scene is a bit rare for the people in the tavern, it can actually be seen once every ten days and half a month. After all, Yan Zhao is a bloody man, and it is normal to be arrested for making trouble.

But what happened next shocked everyone in the tavern.

Seeing that the bearded man was tightly bound, the official nodded to an officer beside him, and said calmly, "Do it."

The guard was obviously already mentally prepared, so he immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and pierced the bearded man's chest directly.

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the bearded man also stared at the official with his eyes widened in disbelief.

A few seconds later, the body of the bearded man fell to the ground, blood flowing.

The official raised his head, glanced at the silent crowd in the tavern, and said lightly: "This is the king's order. Anyone who dares to continue talking about the king's fault will die!"

After saying this, the official led the servants away without looking back.

The situation in this tavern happened repeatedly in Handan City at the same time.

According to later statistics, on this day alone, more than 400 people in Handan City were directly executed!Four hundred lives, even for Handan, which has a population of tens of millions, is not a small number, not to mention that so many people were executed in public in one day, which can be said to have caused an extremely sensational effect.

Not only that, but among those executed, there were even some low-level officials who were killed on the spot by the people sent by King Zhao after they were reported by their colleagues or subordinates.

After Zhao Wang learned of this, he was extremely satisfied.

"Very good, I just want to let these lowly subjects know that the widow is the real ruler and their god!"

How can God be something that these ordinary human beings can talk about?

It's a joke!Eunuch Ling nodded repeatedly, but he had another thought in his heart.

The eunuch order seems to have begun to understand a little bit, and this may be one of Zhao Kuo's methods.

That day, people in Handan City were panicked.

"Why did the king kill so many people?"

"Your Majesty is so cruel, why didn't you find out before?"

"It's fine to kill some ordinary people, but why are we officials killed?"

Whether it is a commoner or an official, there is fear in King Zhao's heart.

Although Zhao Wang only killed some low-level officials, a fool can also think that as long as Zhao Wang's nature does not change, sooner or later, high-level officials will die unexpectedly!But to everyone's surprise, this day has come so soon.

Because Zhao Wang felt very happy killing so many people at once, and Zhao Wang also wanted to see the reactions of his subjects, so after Zhao Wang got up the next day, he began to deal with government affairs and review the memorials.

"Remember, no one will read Zhao Kuo's memorial!"

In order to prevent his mood from being affected by Zhao Kuo's memorial, King Zhao also greeted eunuch Ling from the beginning.

The eunuch Ling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, in the list sent by Zhou Qing, all the veterans who are on the list will be detained."

Only then did King Zhao feel relieved, and read the memorial with a smile.

At the beginning, things were indeed as Zhao Wang thought, and nothing unexpected happened.

Except for some routine things, the ministers of Zhou Shaofen's faction wrote a letter to support King Zhao.

It is the right way in the world that King Qi seeks death by himself, and that King Zhao follows the law of heaven to punish King Qi; that Zhao Kuo has stolen high positions for many years but has not made any achievements, and that Zhao Kuo should be punished. In short, King Zhao likes to hear it very much. If it is, it also makes King Zhao feel good.

"That's it, this is the good servant of the widow!"
