Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Things like Li Si's are neither big nor small.

The rangers in Yan and Zhao are like this. If they disagree with each other, they will fight with you. If you kill someone, you will either pay for your money or your life.

So this matter is still very easy for Zhao Kuo to solve.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo also wanted to bring Li Si under his command. After all, he was a famous official in history, and it was still in its infancy, so it was the best time to recruit him.

Sure enough, Li Si was greatly moved after hearing these words, and said to Zhao Kuo seriously: "Zhao Qing has the feeling of donating food, and also has the grace of saving lives, Li Si really has nothing to repay.

If Zhao Qing doesn't dislike him, Li Si is willing to be Zhao Qing's servant and a loyal minister under Zhao Qing's command! "

Zhao Kuo was too pleased when he heard this, right?

Immediately smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get out after being locked here?"

Li Si said sternly: "With the character and future of the lord, now it's just a matter of taking off in the shallows. It's Li Si's luck that Li Si can follow the lord now!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and said to Li Si: "Very good.

That being the case, from today onwards you are the bastard of my Zhao Kuo family! "

Li Si was overjoyed, and paid homage to Zhao Kuo seriously: "My minister Li Si has seen the lord!"

In the prison, the monarch and his subjects looked at each other and laughed.

Chapter 133 Zhao Kuo's Solicitation

Through Li Si, Zhao Kuo clearly understood for the first time that "if you lose your horse, you will never know it is a blessing."

The meaning of these eight characters.

The process of letting Li Si go was actually very smooth, because the prison system was also under the control of Mr. Si Kou Pingyang, so Xu Li was able to visit Zhao Kuo in the prison every night.

After Zhao Kuo asked Xu Li to spread the word, the investigation speed of Li Si's case was greatly accelerated. It took only one day for the government to find out that the ranger Li Si killed was responsible for four lives. All were wanted criminals, so Li Si was acquitted directly.

Li Si was very moved by this, and before leaving, he bowed to Zhao Kuo three times: "Please rest assured, my lord, after I go back and explain the situation to my teacher, I will go to Zhao's residence immediately!"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said: "Remember to tell your teacher what I said."

Soon, Li Si met his teacher Xun Kuang and his younger brother Han Fei.

Xun Kuang, also known as Xunzi, is fifty-three years old. He is a thinker, writer, politician, and educator in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. He is another top Confucianist after Confucius and Mencius. By!Moreover, Xun Kuang also taught Li Si and Han Fei, two good apprentices who are famous in history books! "Teacher!"

Li Si thought of what happened these days, and the emotions in his whole heart burst out completely, and he fell to his knees.

Xun Kuang was also very emotional, helped Li Si up, and said emotionally: "Disciple, you have worked hard."

These days, Xun Kuang and Han Fei, the two masters and apprentices, were running around for Li Si, but unfortunately, no one bought their account. Now they were surprised and happy to see Li Si released from prison.

Han Fei on the side was also overjoyed, and said, "Master, brother, you, you are finally released from prison. It's really, really great."

Yes, the famous Han Feizi is actually a stutterer!The three masters and apprentices sat down to talk, and Li Si will walk through them one by one. Only then did Xun Kuang and Han Fei know the ins and outs.

Xun Kuang sighed, and said, "I didn't expect you to be imprisoned because of Zhao Qing, and you were also released because of Zhao Qing's rescue. It seems that you and him are indeed destined, and this kind of righteousness as a monarch and minister should be."

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "The teacher will not be angry because the disciple joined the Lord's mansion privately, so the disciple can rest assured."

Xun Kuang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "You and Fei'er are already grown-up men, how can you stop them from making a decision to be a teacher?

What's more, Zhao Qing is Zhao Guo Shangqing at a young age, and his achievements are even more outstanding in the world. Even Bai Qi, the general of Qin State, can't compete with Zhao Qing. "

Han Fei said: "En, teacher, then Zhao Qingru is in big, big trouble now."

Xun Kuang nodded slightly, looked at Li Si and said, "Zhao Qing is extremely intelligent, and must have already figured out how to deal with it. What orders does he have for you?"

Li Si thought for a while, and said, "My lord doesn't have much to say about himself, but he has something for me to bring to my mentor and junior."

Xun Kuang snorted, and said with great interest: "It seems that Zhao Qing has already made up his mind to get away completely. Let's talk about what he said."

Li Sidao: "My lord has said that after he is released from prison, he plans to submit a form to the king to let the king build a Zhao Guoxue Palace in Handan, and ask his teacher to serve as the grand sacrificial wine of Zhao Guoxue Palace."

Xun Kuang was taken aback when he heard the words, then he was overjoyed: "Is this really true?"

Li Si nodded heavily and said, "Of course it is true!"

Xun Kuang laughed, stroked his beard and laughed happily: "Very good, very good."

Xun Kuang was originally the grand sacrificial wine of the Jixia Academy in the State of Qi, why did he come to the State of Zhao?

This is actually because of Xunzi's personal reasons.

Although it is said that a hundred schools of thought are contending, in fact Confucianism is the mainstream in Jixia Academy, so Xun Kuang, as the leader of Confucianism, can become the great sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy.

However, although Xun Kuang's thinking was born out of Confucius and Mencius, it is actually closer to Legalism.

This can be seen from the fact that Xun Kuang, as a great Confucian, taught Li Si and Han Feizi, two famous legalists.

Therefore, Xun Kuang was regarded as an outlier by other Confucian scholars in Jixia Academy, and was finally squeezed out by Confucianism and had to leave Qi State. He first went to Chu State, and then came to his hometown Zhao State after Chu State was also unhappy.

Originally, Xun Kuang was a little disheartened after meeting King Zhao without any response, and considered whether to leave Zhao and go to Qin and other countries to seek opportunities. At this time, Zhao Kuo's promise was undoubtedly a great booster.

In this way, Xun Kuang's affection for Zhao Kuo and Zhao Qing, whom he had never met before, naturally rose steadily.

Li Si turned his head to Han Fei again, and said with a smile: "By the way, Junior Brother, the Lord also said that if you want to, you can join the Zhao family. Your treatment is the same as mine."

Of course, Zhao Kuo would not let Han Feizi go, after all, he is a super scholar who is known as "collecting the achievements of a hundred schools of thought in the Warring States Period" and even Qin Shihuang admired him!Han Fei was taken aback, and said: "Zhao, Zhao Qing actually benevolent, mentor, what do you think?"

Xun Kuang pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Since Zhao Qing appreciates both your senior and brother so much, it is of course a good thing.

It's just that Zhao Qing is in prison after all, and your senior brother agrees to repay his kindness as a teacher, but you might as well wait until this matter is over to see how you can say it. "

Han Fei thought for a while and nodded yes.

Li Si asked again: "By the way, teacher, how is the public opinion towards my lord in Handan City?"

Xun Kuang sighed and said, "The public opinion is not good.

Zhao Qing's reputation in Handan has been infinitely smeared. The old man feels that this is no longer something that can be spread by rumors. It should be fueled by someone with a heart. "

Xun Kuang was traveling outside during this period, and naturally he had contact with many officials of the Zhao state. The reason why Li Si's case was not tried for a long time was actually because Li Si spoke for Zhao Kuo.

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists slightly, and said with a firm face: "It's okay, I believe the Lord will clear up his grievances!"

Handan, Miyagi.

Guo Zong stood in front of Miao Xian with a humble face, and replied respectfully: "Eunuch Ling, everything has been prepared according to your instructions."

Miao Xian glanced at Guo Zong, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very good.

You go back first, and the old man will report to the king. "

After a while, Miao Xian walked into the hall and saw King Zhao who was drinking ginseng soup.

Zhao Wang said with a smile: "Eunuch Ling, this is the new ginseng soup that the palace doctor just used a new prescription, it is said to be very good for the body, but it is a bit bitter.

Do you want to try it? "

Miao Xian said: "Your Majesty is joking.

According to the news just below, all the evidence has been collected. "

King Zhao snorted, and said, "Okay, let's send an order to call all civil and military officials to prepare to hear the case in public!"

Chapter 134

Handan prison.

"No, I still have to get the paper out."

Zhao Kuo raised his head from the table and couldn't help but beat his waist.

Writing on the bamboo slips is a very troublesome thing. Compared with the bulkiness and small area of ​​the paper, the bamboo slips themselves need to be carefully scraped off with a knife after writing a typo, which is very laborious.

"what are you writing."

Outside the cell, a familiar voice from Zhao Kuo asked.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Write whatever you want, it's not a suicide note anyway.

Jun Hou actually came here with a noble body, presumably there will be a result soon, right? "

Mr. Pingyuan outside the cell said calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty has ordered a formal trial of Yu Qing's murder tomorrow. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "That's great, to be honest, I'm a little tired of staying here."

Mr. Pingyuan let out a hey, and said, "Are you so confident that you will win?"

Zhao Kuo said very seriously: "If an innocent person like me dies unjustly, then there must be a big problem in this country."

Mr. Pingyuan hesitated to speak, sighed, and said, "You really don't have anything to say?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head, and said: "If you are asking whether you want to confess your last words, then please reply."

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a while, took a deep look at Zhao Kuo, and said: "If something happens to you, your wife, children and mother will take care of you."

Zhao Kuo arched his hands and said with a smile: "I appreciate Junhou's wishes, but please don't worry, my wife, children and old mother will naturally be taken care of by me."

Jun Pingyang shook his head, and left on his own.

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Pingyuan's leaving back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. After a while, he slowly said to himself: "Miao Xian, Miao Xian, it seems that you really put your heart into it."

In the Zhao residence, Xu Li stood in front of Zhao's mother, his wife Tian Wan, and his side wife Qiu'er with a serious face, and said, "Mistress, two ladies, tomorrow is the time for the lord to go to the palace to confront Miao Xian." .

Please prepare for the three today, and leave Handan in disguise when the lord goes to the palace tomorrow, just in case of accidents. "

Xu Li's words immediately surprised Zhao Kuo's three closest women, and Qiu'er, who had a big belly, almost fainted.

Mother Zhao's voice trembled a little: "Xu Jiazai, what do you mean by that?

Could it be that Kuo'er?" Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then felt sorry, shook his head again and again and said: "The mistress misunderstood, even if it is the king, how can our Zhao family sit and wait for death?

It's just that if some things are triggered, there is no turning back, so the three must leave Handan in advance. This is not only for the benefit of the three, but also allows the lord to have no worries. "

Zhao's mother and Tian Wan looked at each other, the two women were extremely intelligent people, they immediately understood something and agreed.

After explaining to the three wives, Xu Li came to another room of the mansion.

There are already several people waiting for Xu Li, all of them are the confidantes of the Zhao family without exception.

Xu Li said in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

One person said: "The news from Guo Zong's side has come back, and the south gate can be opened for us tomorrow."

Xu Li said: "What if the south gate cannot be opened?"

Another person said: "Then there is still the southeast gate to open, but it will take more time to turn from the southeast gate."

Xu Li nodded and said: "Then the south gate first, and the east gate if the situation is wrong.

Are the Chi You troops outside the city ready? "

A tall man, who looked like a battle-tested man, said in a deep voice: "Everything is ready, as soon as the city gate is opened tomorrow, we will immediately rush into the palace to rescue the lord!"

Xu Li carefully asked some precautions, and then said to the few people in front of him: "Everyone, remember that our rescue by force is just a backup plan.

If the lord can successfully foil the plot of Miao Xian, Lin Xiangru and others, then everyone will act as if nothing happened.

But if something goes wrong, then the life and safety of the lord depends entirely on everyone! "

After finishing speaking, Xu Li bowed to the few people in front of him.

Several people returned the salute one after another, and also said very seriously: "The housekeeper is serious, we are also ministers of the Zhao family, and we should do our best for the Zhao family!"

"That's right, if the dog king is really so foolish as to kill the lord tomorrow, then maybe I should ask him to have a good taste of my long spear!"

A burst of laughter sounded in the room.

The next day.

Lin Xiangru's mansion.

Although he is quite old, today Lin Xiangru still wakes up early as in the past, let his wife tie up her hair in a bun and wear a crown as in the past few decades.

After all, his wife had been with Lin Xiangru for decades, so she naturally realized what was wrong with Lin Xiangru today, and said softly, "Your husband has something important to do today?"

Lin Xiangru pulled his clothes, picked up the fluorene board necessary for going to court, and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I have a guilty conscience."

This sentence made the wife stunned for a while, before she said softly: "Anyway, I am waiting for my husband to return in the mansion."

After a while, Lin Xiangru's carriage drove out of the gate of the mansion and came all the way to the Dragon Terrace Hall in the palace.

Under the main hall, Lin Xiangru happened to meet Lian Po.

Today's Lian Po also looked serious, nodded towards Lin Xiangru, and the two walked side by side.
