Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Lian Po nodded, and said in a rough voice: "Yes, now that Mr. Pingyuan and Zhao Kuo have a powerful party, it is not easy for Zhou Shaofen to make a decision to stand on our side.

Lin Xiangru said with a light smile: "Actually, this matter is also predictable, although Zhou Shaofen and Zhao Kuo did have ginseng business contacts, but now the two have fallen out.

Besides, no matter what kind of business, how can it be more reliable than political allies? "

Lian Po agreed with this: "Yes, the way of merchants is just a small way.

Contributing to the country like you and me, that is the avenue and the right way that everyone should walk! "

Lian Po's words are exactly what most people think in this era.

Lin Xiangru paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Speaking of Zhao Kuo's absence, you and I have saved a lot of worry."

Zhao Kuo is simply the nemesis of the Scholars faction. Even though Zhao Kuo took office only last year, Lin Xiangru was really impressed by the lessons Zhao Kuo brought to the Scholars faction in this short one year.

Speaking of Zhao Kuo, the smile on Lian Po's face suddenly disappeared, and he said lightly: "But he went to Shangdang County, I don't know if Yu Xin can handle him?"

Lin Xiangru thought for a while and said, "It should not be a big problem.

I have already told Yu Xin before that when you ask him to attack, he must not leave any openings. If he can't even do this well, there is nothing he can do. "

Lian Po smiled and said, "That's right, that Zhen Potian was lucky enough to last until Yu Xin arrived in Shangdang County to take up his post."

Lin Xiangru smiled faintly: "I just hope that Yu Xin can control it well, and don't make a big bandit that endangers the local people because of Zhao Kuo."

Even before taking possession of Shangdang County, there were many bandits active in Zhao Guo's Northern Taihang, which has always been a headache for Zhao Guo's government.

Lian Po snorted, and said: "If there is no way to deal with the mere bandits, there is no need for Yu Xin to talk about governing the country. It is better to stay in Shangdang for the rest of his life."

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said, "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling. I hope Yu Xin won't make any mistakes this time and be caught by Zhao Kuo."

Lian Po waved his hands disapprovingly, and said, "What could be wrong?

Yu Xin has already suffered so many losses under Zhao Kuo's hands, no matter how stupid a person is, he has to learn a lesson, and he should be more reliable in doing things, right? "

Before Lin Xiangru could speak, suddenly a steward of Lin Xiangru's mansion came in with a hurried expression: "My lord, it's not good. The news just came from Shangdang County that Zhao Kuo arrested Yu Qing!"

There was a sudden silence in the lobby.

After a while, Lin Xiangru smiled helplessly: "General, look at where Zhao Kuo is, there are always accidents."

Chapter 119

Pingyuan Junfu.

Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang sat opposite each other.

Mr. Pingyuan took a sip of the wine and said with great satisfaction: "This ginseng infused wine really feels good, brother, didn't you say that your wife Xinna is very demanding?

Drink a few more mags, and you will be fine when you go home! "

Regarding Mr. Pingyuan's words, Mr. Pingyang could only smile wryly, and said: "Oh, this woman always wants to have a son after she gets married.

I really hope that she can get pregnant as soon as possible, so as to save a year or so! "

Jun Pingyuan looked at Jun Pingyang who was frowning, and couldn't help laughing: "That's what women are for, otherwise?

Otherwise, you can also become an inspector like Zhao Kuo, so that you can hide outside for a while, and maybe you can get two more beauties back. "

Pingyang Jun waved his hands again and again: "Brother, don't be joking, it's too much now, if there are more, wouldn't it be fatal?"

Mr. Pingyuan laughed out loud.

Mr. Pingyang obviously didn't want to continue this topic that is very embarrassing for men: "By the way, brother, then Zhao Kuo has already gone to Shangdang County, and Shangdang County is also in Yu Xin's territory. You said this time the two of them Will something happen again?"

Mr. Pingyuan restrained his smile when he heard the words, knocked on the table, and said coldly: "Brother, I really hope that Zhao Kuo can figure out something sooner. This time, Yu Xin has gone too far. The whole Shangdang County The amount of ginseng harvested has dropped by [-]% all of a sudden, what are you talking about!"

Lord Pingyang nodded, and said: "Yes, I heard that Lin Xiangru and Lian Po are also wooing that Zhou Shaofen recently, and they probably have the intention of giving up Yu Xin."

Mr. Pingyuan sneered, and said, "Whatever, anyway, Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin's refusal to deal with it has long been known throughout the country. Since the king sent Zhao Kuo to Shangdang County to do this, he must be trying to teach him a lesson. Just let Zhao Kuo let go of Yu Xin and let him do it."

Mr. Pingyang stroked his long beard under his jaw, pondered for a while and said, "But I'm worried that Zhao Kuo will strike too hard?"

Mr. Pingyuan frowned and said, "Yu Xin is not a fool, can he really catch Zhao Kuo with something?

Even if Zhao Kuo really caught something, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us. "

Jun Pingyang smiled in relief and said: "That's right.

Come, brother, let's drink! "

Just as the two of them toasted, a retainer of Lord Pingyuan appeared with a serious face.

Mr. Pingyuan put down his wine glass: "What's the matter?"

The retainer hurriedly said: "Master, according to the news from Shangdang County, Zhao Kuo has arrested Yu Xin and is escorting him to Handan!"

With a puff, Jun Pingyang who was not far away directly sprayed out the wine he just drank.

Mr. Pingyuan was also stunned for a while, before he said, "Do you know what happened in Shangdang County?"

The retainer said: "Still investigating!"

Mr. Pingyuan sighed, and rubbed his temples helplessly: "Why does this Zhao Kuo have accidents wherever he goes?

Brother, follow me into the palace and talk to the king about this matter. "

An hour later, Handan Miyagi.

Wang Zhao, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang in front of him, and yawned loudly: "What's the matter, uncles?"

Pingyang Jun looked at King Zhao, always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to look at it too much, so he looked away after two glances.

Mr. Pingyuan reported: "Your Majesty, the old minister just got the news that Zhao Kuo, the inspector, has arrested Yu Xin and is sending people to escort him to Handan!"

Jun Pingyang had the same expression when he heard the news just now, and King Zhao who was drinking water almost spit out, coughing violently.

After a while, King Zhao came back to his senses, and looked at Mr. Pingyuan with disbelief: "What did you say?

Zhao Kuo has arrested Yu Xin, and will he be sent to Handan? "

Although Mr. Pingyuan wanted to shake his head, he finally nodded.

With a bang, Zhao Wang slapped the table directly: "It's a nonsense! The widow asked him to go to Shangdang to solve the ginseng problem, not to let him solve Yu Xin.

Didn't the previous things have been explained to him?

The widows have already demoted Yu Xin, what else does he want? "

King Zhao was really angry.

According to Zhao Wang's previous intentions, Zhao Kuo was sent there mainly to solve the problem of ginseng production reduction.

With Zhao Kuo's ability, he can definitely eliminate the bandits, and the past grievances between Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin can be regarded as a warning to Yu Xin, so that Yu Xin dare not do anything with ginseng in the future.

As for why King Zhao didn't directly send someone to warn Yu Xin, the reason is of course very simple. King Zhao doesn't want others to know that he is the biggest shareholder of ginseng!The majestic king of a country actually went to manage some kind of merchant business. Wouldn't it ruin his reputation if it spread?

Moreover, if other countries know that King Zhao is secretly manipulating the ginseng business, who would dare to want this ginseng?

What if King Zhao sent someone to poison it, and the princes would fight for hegemony, and it would not be surprising to see any means.

So King Zhao can't be exposed, he can only solve it with Zhao Kuo's pawn.

When Zhao Wang wanted to come, it was acceptable for Zhao Kuo to humiliate Yu Xin or even beat Yu Xin. After all, Yu Xin directly caused half of the ginseng production to be lost, and Zhao Wang himself wanted to beat Yu Xin.

But King Zhao wanted Zhao Kuo to teach Yu Xin a lesson, not Zhao Kuo to kill Yu Xin!Yu Xin is a famous person in the world, and even a confidant of King Zhao. The temporary demotion does not mean that Yu Xin will not be used in the future.

The more Zhao Wang thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his gaze towards Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun became more and more hostile: "You two, talk to the widow, what is going on?"

Regarding Zhao Wang's question, the two princes also showed helplessness.

Lord Pingyuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister came here just after hearing the news, the specific situation remains to be investigated.

However, the veteran felt that Zhao Kuo might have discovered something about Yu Xin, otherwise he would not have dared to arrest people at will. "

Zhao Wang was very annoyed and said: "Even if you really caught something, you can't arrest people at will. Who gave him the power?"

Jun Pingyang, who had been silent all this time, said cautiously at this time: "Your Majesty, the Inspectors will patrol the various places on your behalf, and indeed they have the right to act beforehand."

Heads can be chopped off, so it's even easier to catch people.

Zhao Wang was directly suppressed by this sentence, his face turned red, and he was speechless for a long time.

King Zhao suddenly had the urge to slap himself.

At this moment, another voice of appeal came: "Your Majesty, General Lian Po and Shang Qing Lin Xiangru are begging to see you!"

As soon as Lin Xiangru entered the palace, the first sentence he said was astonishing.

"Your Majesty, the Inspector Zhao Kuo used his public equipment for private use, and arrested the local officials without authorization due to personal grievances. The old minister begs the Majesty to investigate Zhao Kuo's crime of dereliction of duty!"

Chapter 120

The first moment he heard Lin Xiangru's words, Mr. Pingyuan subconsciously wanted to applaud Lin Xiangru.

What Lin Xiangru said was right, this Zhao Kuo is really too noisy!But in the next second, Mr. Pingyuan immediately came to his senses.

wrong!who I am?

I, Mr. Pingyuan, are the leading elder brother of the official sect, and Zhao Kuo is my younger brother.

So Mr. Pingyuan immediately said: "Lin Qing, it's not good for you to spout blood without evidence, right?"

Lin Xiangru looked at Lord Pingyuan, sparks were flying from the gazes of the two famous ministers of the Zhao Kingdom.

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "Yu Xin is the governor of a place. Zhao Kuo escorted him into Handan for no reason, causing the people in Shangdang County to be in chaos. Is this what the envoys for the king should do?"

Mr. Pingyuan snorted, and retorted: "Lin Qing's words are interesting, now you don't know why Zhao Kuo escorted Yu Xin to Handan, why do you say that Zhao Kuo did it for no reason?

If it is true that Yu Xin made some big mistakes and did something to offend Da Zhao, then it is only natural for Zhao Kuo to escort Yu Xin to Handan, to share the worries of the king, and to be a hero of Da Zhao! "

Lin Xiangru made a haha, and said seriously: "Mr. Pingyuan, Mr. Pingyuan, think about Zhao Kuo's previous style. Do you think this kind of thing is possible?"

This sentence successfully choked Mr. Pingyuan, but Mr. Pingyuan was an old politician after all, so he immediately retorted: "What did Zhao Kuo do before?

That is to say, they won the battle of Changping and the battle of negative lichen, and wiped the ass of some people's allies, but now some people are ungrateful and attack Zhao Kuo here, which is really ridiculous and ridiculous. "

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "The kindness is the kindness, but when it comes to the national interests of Da Zhao, what is the personal grievance?

Does Mr. Pingyuan want to see that the ministers in this hall are all those who betrayed the interests of the country because of their personal kindness?

Since Zhao Kuo did something wrong, he must be punished, otherwise, what is the meaning of Da Zhao's laws? "

Hearing this, Wang Zhao felt that his heart was becoming more angry, and he couldn't help but patted the table and shouted: "Okay, shut up, everyone!"

Everyone shut their mouths at once.

Zhao Wang called out: "Miao Xian!"

The figure of the eunuch Ling Miao Xian appeared in the next second: "The old minister is here."

Zhao Wang said coldly: "You immediately send someone to pick up Shang Yuxin, and then send someone to Shangdang County to ask Zhao Kuo if the matter that the widow told him is done well, and what is going on with Yu Xin's matter?" !"

Miao Xian promised to step down.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the four Zhao ministers in front of him, and said impatiently: "Let's stop here for the time being, anyway, I don't know the situation anyway, why not just" "My lord !"

Miao Xian suddenly left and returned.

Zhao Wang who was interrupted became more and more upset, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Miao Xian raised the two memorials in his hand: "These are two memorials that were sent urgently from Shangdang County just now, one was entered by Zhao Kuo, and the other was entered by the county captain of Shangdang County!"

King Zhao snorted, and quickly realized: "Here, I want to see what this Zhao Kuo is up to!"

Miao Xian hurriedly presented the memorial, Zhao Wang began to read it, and there was silence again.

Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang looked at each other, Mr. Pingyang cast a questioning look, Mr. Pingyuan made a gesture to signal Mr. Pingyang to be safe and not to be impatient.

Lian Po and Lin Xiangru also looked at each other, and they both saw a little uneasiness on each other's faces.

Zhao Kuo's memorial actually reached Handan at the same time as the news, which shows that Zhao Kuo should have come prepared this time.

Could it be that Yu Xin was really caught by Zhao Kuo for some serious trick?

Just when the two were restless, King Zhao had already read Zhao Kuo's memorial.

When Zhao Kuo's memorial was put down, Zhao Wang's face had obviously become very gloomy.

Everyone thought that King Zhao could speak, but King Zhao didn't speak. Instead, he picked up another memorial, which was from the captain of Shangdang County.

If it is said that after reading the first memorial, Zhao Wang's face turned from sunny to cloudy, then after reading the second memorial, Zhao Wang's face turned from cloudy to thunderstorm.
