Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

As long as he can assist Zhao Wang and Li Mu to get rid of Zhao Kuo, Zhou Shaofen thinks that in all likelihood, he will become Zhao Guoxin's idea.

So for Zhou Shaofen, since today, the real pinnacle of life is just around the corner.

Zhou Shaofen was in a very happy mood at the moment, and couldn't help but want to laugh three times, and said something to Zhao Kuo in front of him.

"Thank you Wu Xinjun, it is because of your stupidity that this old man has the opportunity to replace you!"

Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't know what Zhou Shaofen was thinking. He just looked at Zhao Wang's leaving back with a calm expression. After a moment of silence, he turned and spoke to the group of political allies and subordinates behind him.

"That's all for today, everyone go back and have a good rest."

For Zhao Kuo, the whole plan has actually gone smoothly so far.

First of all, Zhao Kuo successfully met Zhao Wang, secondly, Zhao Kuo successfully angered Zhao Wang, and finally, Zhao Kuo successfully let everyone know that the conflict between Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo was irretrievable.

Since this is the case, then King Zhao will definitely attack Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo's counterattack is a matter of course.

Since Zhao Kuo also spoke, the guys behind Zhao Kuo naturally responded directly and repeatedly, and each got into the carriage and went back to their respective homes.

Zhao Kuo's carriage is very big, so there are a lot of people who can sit in this carriage.

Looking at Xu Li and Pang Nuan in front of him, Zhao Kuo said with a smile, "Both of you have worked hard today, and we just need to wait quietly."

Pang Nuan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but asked Zhao Kuo, "If the king did it first, wouldn't there be any accidents?

It's better that we do it first. "

Although Pang Nuan was said to be one of Zhao Kuo's closest allies, he was actually ignorant of the most confidential part of the whole plan.

So he was more worried and wanted to strike first. After all, there were a whole [-] Chi You troops outside Handan City, so as long as he could strike first, the chances of winning would be very high.

Facing Pang Nuan's question, Zhao Kuo smiled back.

"Don't worry, we are absolutely sure of victory, and this kind of confidence will be even greater if the king makes a move."

For Zhao Kuo, Li Mu and Eunuch Ling, the two most trusted confidants around King Zhao, belong to Zhao Kuo.

So once King Zhao wants to do something, these two people will immediately inform Zhao Kuo of the whole plan.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuo didn't need to launch a coup in a hurry at all. He just had to wait quietly for King Zhao to do it first, and then follow King Zhao's plan for a flawless counter-kill.

And there is another advantage to doing this, that is, when King Zhao feels that he is sure to win when he does it, King Zhao will not think that Zhao Kuo has already made all the arrangements for King Zhao.

This is the true sense of surprise, making Zhao Wang feel that he is the active party, but in fact all Zhao Wang's actions have long been under Zhao Kuo's control.

This is the safest plan.

Soon Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion, and then he asked Su Li a question.

"When will Li Mu be able to come back?"

Su Li answered immediately.

"May 5."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that this is indeed a good day."

Almost at the same time, in the main hall of King Zhao's palace, King Zhao also asked the eunuch Ling the same question.

"When will Li Mu be able to return to Handan?

This damned Zhao Kuo is becoming more and more rampant now, the widow really wishes to get rid of Zhao Kuo immediately! "

Facing King Zhao's question, Eunuch Ling also gave the same answer as Su Li.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty. General Li Mu will return to Handan City on May 5th."

Zhao Wang nodded, and said with a very cold expression: "The day Li Mu comes back will be the day of Zhao Kuo's death!"

As far as King Zhao is concerned, he has really lost all patience, and only wants to kill Zhao Kuo as quickly as possible.

Of course, before killing Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wang didn't mind giving Zhao Kuo a little more power, and it could also let everyone in the world know who is in charge of Zhao Kuo.

So King Zhao issued another order to the eunuch order.

"You immediately take someone to the prison for the widow, and kill Chang'an directly!"

Chapter 1039 Execution of Lord Chang'an

For Zhao Wang, his character is absolutely not allowed to be threatened by anyone.

Since Zhao Kuo was so rampant, and since Zhao Kuo tried so hard to help Lord Chang'an intercede, King Zhao directly killed Lord Chang'an, and let Zhao Kuo know what a real king is!Eunuch Ling was stunned for a moment after hearing this order, and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, do you really think about it?"

For Eunuch Ling, Lord Chang'an is also a very familiar figure, and he is also the Zongzheng of the King Zhao family, the patriarch of the King Zhao family in the actual sense.

The execution of the patriarch of any family would definitely cause an uproar, let alone the patriarch of King Zhao's family!However, King Zhao had clearly made up his mind long ago, and said impatiently after hearing the words: "If you are told to go, go, don't ask so many nonsense! Even if the gods in the world come to the widow today, they will not be able to save you. Lord Chang'an's life!"

The eunuch Ling had no choice but to turn around and leave after hearing the words.

After walking a few steps, King Zhao's voice suddenly came again: "Wait a minute!"

The eunuch Ling thought that King Zhao was about to change his mind, so he immediately turned around happily: "What else do you want to order, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "If you just let Chang An Jun die in the prison, it would be too cheap for him.

Immediately send someone to inform Zhou Shaofen that Mr. Chang'an will be executed in public at the gate of the West Market tomorrow! "

Eunuch Ling was stunned again.

Executed at the gate of the market, this is really asking Changan Jun to die in the most humiliating way.

But at this time, facing King Zhao who was completely overwhelmed by anger, Eunuch Ling was helpless!Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion.

It was getting late, so Zhao Kuo also ate, and then washed up, ready to rest and fall asleep.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuo felt that something was wrong, so he turned his gaze to Tian Wan in front of him: "What's wrong, ma'am?"

Ever since King Qi was killed by King Zhao, Tian Wan, who had lost her brother, felt a little out of sorts, so Zhao Kuo slept with Tian Wan most of the time during this time.

Tian Wan looked a little thinner, with a bit of sadness on her pretty face, and said: "I just heard that my husband brought a group of ministers to the gate of the palace today to protest against the king's decision?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Yeah, our king is still a little stubborn, but this time, my husband has helped you out."

Tian Wan grabbed Zhao Kuo's hand: "Husband, I don't want you to vent my anger on this concubine, so you can get along well with the king, okay?"

Looking at Tian Wan who was pleading, Zhao Kuo seemed to understand.

Tian Wan should be worried that Zhao Kuo is too rigid, and after fighting with King Zhao, it will affect Zhao Kuo's future!Zhao Kuo laughed: "Madam is too worried.

Your Majesty has indeed done something wrong, and it is only natural for my husband to help him point out his mistakes.

On this point, even if the Jade Emperor came, he would not be able to find fault with his husband! "

Tian Wan still shook her head: "But, he is a king after all.

If my husband really got into an argument with the king, what should we do in the future?

Once the king holds grudges, our family will have a hard time in the future. "

For Tian Wan, her thinking is actually very simple.

Zhao Kuo helped her vent her anger, Tian Wan was naturally very moved.

However, Tian Wan also loves Zhao Kuo deeply, and she doesn't want Zhao Kuo to completely offend King Zhao because of this incident, which may cause King Zhao to have some bad feelings towards Zhao Kuo.

In Tian Wan's view, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to win against the King Zhao who controls the highest power of Zhao State!As a husband and wife for many years, Zhao Kuo of course understood Tian Wan's thoughts very clearly, couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded, and gently kissed Tian Wan's cheek.

"It's okay, I have my own arrangements.

Ma'am, don't worry, I said I will give you a result, and I will definitely give you a result! "

Tian Wan looked at Zhao Kuo: "Husband, I just want us to be safe together!"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly: "Of course we will be safe, and we will always be safe!"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo was full of domineering.

The night is getting thicker and the spring is getting stronger.

The next day, at noon, at the gate of West Market.

In this era, there are usually two places for beheading, one is Dongshi and the other is Xishi.

The East City usually kills some relatively ordinary criminals, while the West City is usually where execution officials and nobles are executed.

Why choose it at the gate of the market?

The answer is actually very simple, because there are many people in the market, and the rulers hope that more people will see the execution of the death penalty, so as to establish the majesty of the ruler in people's hearts.

Compared to Dongshi who was beheaded twice in three days, the number of beheadings in Xishi is actually very small. In addition, the person who beheaded today is still a real royal nobleman like Chang'an Lord Zhao Ming, an important minister of the State of Zhao. , is extremely rare.

It took only one morning for the notice to be posted, but the West Market was already crowded with people, and even some troublemakers climbed onto the nearby roofs.

The last time there was such a lively scene, it was a few years ago when Lin Xiangru and Lord Yuan were executed.

As the beheading officer, Zhao Guosi Kou Zhou Shaofen looked at this scene, feeling a little nervous in his heart, and said to Handan Ling next to him: "You immediately mobilize all the people here, and you must make sure that there will be no accidents today. .

Otherwise, the old man will definitely report to the king and blame you! "

As far as Zhou Shaofen is concerned, of course he doesn't mean to worry about these common people who are watching the fun. What he is really worried about is whether Zhao Kuo will take advantage of this opportunity to do some small tricks!It seemed that Zhou Shaofen's worries were overstated, and nothing unexpected happened until noon.

A prison cart was slowly escorted over, and there was a nobleman on the prison cart, who was Zhao Guo's Da Zongzheng, Chang'an Lord Zhao Ming.

The appearance of Mr. Chang'an immediately caused a sensation among the onlookers present.

"It's really Mr. Chang'an!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The announcements have already been posted, so there are fake ones?"

"Oh, I heard that Mr. Chang'an is a good courtier, why was he executed?"

"It is said that he was talking back to the king and opposed the execution of King Qi by the king."

"What, you will be killed if you talk back?"

"That's right, our great king is very fierce, hehehe."

At this time, a person next to him suddenly interjected: "If according to your statement, the next one to die will not be Wu Xinjun?"

The onlookers present were shocked: "Wu Xinjun?

What does this matter have to do with Wu Xinjun? "

"You don't know this, Lord Wu Xin took a group of ministers outside the palace yesterday, hoping to make the king take back his order and not execute Lord Chang'an.

For this, Wu Xinjun even talked back to the king fiercely. "

"This is bad. If Your Majesty also punishes Lord Wu Xin, who will help Zhao Guo fight in the future?"

"That's right, Mr. Wu Xin is a good person. Even if you are a king, if you want to punish Mr. Wu Xin, I will never agree to it!"

Zhao Kuo's reputation among the people of Zhao State is very high. On the one hand, it is because Zhao Kuo's military achievements are indeed very outstanding, and on the other hand, there are actually reasons for Zhao Kuo's industry.

Over the years, under the management of Guo Zong, Zhao Kuo's various industries have already infiltrated into all walks of life in Zhao Guo unknowingly.

According to the information that Guo Zong handed over to Zhao Kuo last year, in Handan City alone, more than 3 people worked in Zhao Kuo's various industries. Zhao Kuo has more than 50 people working!These 50 people are all employees of the "Zhao Kuo Commercial Group". Of course, they are very supportive of Zhao Kuo, because the boss Zhao Kuo is quite generous, with various benefits for rest days, and the salary is sufficient, which is better than that of Handan City. Among them, those profiteers who wish their workers could work twelve hours a day are much better off.

If it is just a Chang'an Lord with a relatively ordinary reputation, then there is nothing wrong with it, but when the matter involves Zhao Kuo, those who support Zhao Kuo in their hearts will inevitably have a lot of dissatisfaction with King Zhao.

"To be honest, our king looks good, but he always likes to kill people!"

"That is, in these years, so many important ministers have been executed by this great king. I have lived for so long, and only so many people died during the last Dune Palace change."

"The Dune Palace was transformed 40 years ago!"

"Recently, I always feel that major events in our Zhao country are happening one after another, will it be?" "Shh, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs!"

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Mr. Chang'an's prison car slowly drove under the beheading platform.

Several guards opened the prison cart and dragged Mr. Chang'an, who was in shackles, onto the beheading platform.

Mr. Chang'an stared at the beheading seat in front of the beheading platform, and then his eyes fell on the chief beheading officer Zhou Shaofen, showing a sneer: "So it was you."

Chang'an Jun's gaze made Zhou Shaofen's expression a little unnatural. Not long ago, when Zhou Shaofen saw Chang'an Jun, he was still respectful.

But soon, Zhou Shaofen came back to his senses. Now Zhou Shaofen is the supervisor and beheader, why should he be afraid of Chang'an Jun, a dying man?

So Zhou Shaofen immediately opened his mouth and said to Mr. Chang'an: "Mr. Chang'an, Zhao Ming, this time, I have obeyed the order of the king to kill you!"

After Zhou Shaofen's words fell, Mr. Chang'an's face changed slightly.

"Is the king really going to kill me?"

Jun Chang'an's expression was not as calm as before.

Zhou Shaofen sneered, and said to Lord Chang'an: "You dared to be so disrespectful to the king that day, you should have known that there would be consequences like this."
