Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Lord Pingyuan shook his head, and said helplessly: "Yes.

Zhao Kuo will always have conflicts with the king, but as Uncle Wang, how can we not side with the king in this matter?

I can only hope that after this incident, Zhao Kuo can also grind away some edges and corners and become calmer. "

Lord Pingyang suddenly said: "Actually, I have a concubine who has just reached the age of Ji and plans to marry Zhao Kuo as a concubine. What do you think, brother?"

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Mr. Pingyang in surprise, and said after a while, "You also want to add flowers to Zhao Kuo?"

Pingyang Jun smiled slightly and said: "Why not?"

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed: "In fact, my brother also has several daughters and Jiji. If Zhao Kuo likes it, then our two families will marry a daughter to him."

The two princes looked at each other, showing tacit smiles.

Zhao Kuo's return to the mansion immediately turned the entire Zhao mansion from an extremely tense atmosphere into a sea of ​​joy.

"The lord is back!"

"Lord!"

At this moment, Xu Li and the others burst into tears, almost unable to restrain their emotions.

As retainers, Xu Li and others and Zhao Kuo have actually been completely bound together, one prospers and the other loses.

Looking at the vassals kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhao Kuo was also a little moved, and helped them up one by one with his own hands.

Only these people are the ones who will never leave, stand by Zhao Kuo's side regardless of the wind and adversity, and are willing to die for Zhao Kuo! "By the way, where are the mother and the two wives?"

Xu Li hurriedly said: "It's not long since they were sent out of the city, but they have already been sent out of the city to inform them, and they will be back later."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and then lowered his voice slightly: "Chi Youjun also notified?"

Xu Li chuckled and said, "I've also notified you.

This time is regarded as the king's knowledge, if not, hehe, this time, Handan will be bloodbathed for the sake of the lord! "

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "Killing people can't solve the problem, and killing a king can't make justice come true. Go ahead."

Half an hour later, when the sky was completely dark, an inconspicuous carriage finally drove into the side door of Zhao Mansion.

Seeing the mother and two wives stepping down from the carriage one after another, as well as the infant son Zhao Qian in his wife's arms, Zhao Kuo let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face.

What do men work outside for? Apart from ideals, isn't most of them just for their wives and children to have a better life and future?

Zhao Kuo no longer concealed the emotions in his heart, and embraced the two women who belonged to him into his arms at the same time amidst the coquettish cries of the two wives.

"I'm back! From now on, you will never be so worried again, I promise!"

This is the oath that belongs to Zhao Kuo's man!These words made the two women, who were still a little awkward in their arms, quiet down at the same time, raised their heads, and looked at Zhao Kuo with stars in their two pairs of wonderful eyes.

A strong man and a reliable embrace are always what women desire most!Suddenly, Qiu'er's face changed, and she cried out in pain and nearly fell down.

Zhao Kuo looked at Qiu'er in surprise, "What's wrong?"

After all, Tian Wan and Zhao's mother were experienced people, so they said in unison: "Quickly, find Mrs. Wen, it's about to give birth!"

In the early morning of the next day, Qiu'er, Zhao Kuo's concubine and former female official of the State of Qi, gave birth to Zhao Kuo's second child, also the first daughter.

Name Zhao Ying!

Chapter 141 Subduing Guo Zong

The arrival of little Zhao Ying gave Zhao Kuo a great surprise.

For people in this era, patriarchy is a common phenomenon from princes to common people.

But for Zhao Kuo, who is a time traveler, having both sons and daughters is the best experience, and the cute little cotton-padded jacket daughter is also a rare treasure bestowed by God!Zhao Kuo happily sat beside Qiu'er's couch with the baby Zhao Ying in his arms, and said seriously to Qiu'er who was not so happy: "In the future, only the best boys in the world will be worthy Fuck my Yinger!"

A woman's mood often fluctuates with her husband's fluctuations. When Zhao Kuo showed her great love for her daughter from the heart, the depression in Qiu'er's heart dissipated a lot, and she was still a little pale due to childbirth. Lips and face also seem to have begun to have blood.

Suddenly, the baby Zhao Ying opened her big pure eyes and looked at Zhao Kuo for a few seconds, the corners of her tender mouth twitched slightly, revealing a small smile.

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed: "Look, you're smiling, Ying'er is smiling!"

Zhao Kuo's high volume made little Zhao Ying tremble with fright, her mouth flattened, and she burst into tears.

Zhao Kuo returned little Zhao Ying to Qiu'er with some dumbfounding, and said, "Take good care of our daughter.

God bestowed her on us, and as parents, we must let her grow up happily and spend this life in peace! "

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, untied the jade around his waist and carefully tied it to Zhao Ying's delicate white feet, then smiled and patted Qiu'er's head, and left the room.

Xu Li stood at the door, with two big baskets of bamboo slips under his feet, with a helpless smile on his face: "My lord, these are greeting cards and invitations from the ministers!"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and said, "Except for some very important people, all the rest should be put on fire in the kitchen! By the way, is Guo Zong here?"

Xu Li said: "I'm already waiting in the study."

Meeting Guo Zong again, Guo Zong was still as respectful as ever: "Zhao Qing has finally cleared up her grievances, it is really gratifying."

Zhao Kuo showed a smile on his face, and held Guo Zong's hands: "This time, Mr. Guo has worked hard!"

At the beginning, Zhao Kuo originally planned to use the corruption of Miao Xian's family members, but firstly, he didn't have time to collect enough evidence, and secondly, the method of taking Miao Xian's family as hostages to threaten Miao Xian was too cheap, so in the end Zhao Kuo still decided to use Guo Zong as a breakthrough to counter Miao Xian.

Guo Zong has been Zhao Wang's financial management tool for many years, and he has been a low-key dog ​​in front of Miao Xian for decades. Miao Xian would never have thought that Guo Zong would fight back. Good, and the facts have proved it.

The only thing that is not sure is whether Guo Zong is willing to stand on Zhao Kuo's side in such a major political struggle, so Zhao Kuo asked Xu Li to prepare Chi Youjun as a backup just in case.

Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun, was also the number one general of the Zhao State who overwhelmed Lian Po back then. His connections are not in vain. Once things go wrong, Zhao Kuo would immediately rush out of the hall with the support people in the palace, and then join Chi You's army and run away.

But in the end, Guo Zong proved that Zhao Kuo's trust in him was worthwhile!Zhao Kuo smiled at Guo Zong and said: "If I, Zhao Kuo, really succeed in the future, I can assure Mr. Guo that Mr. Guo will definitely have a place when discussing military affairs!"

Zhao Kuo even thought about Guo Zong's future position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce!As at least one of the top three richest people in the world today, with a lifetime of ups and downs in the business world, and a very thorough understanding of government and private business, who else is more suitable than Guo Zong to be in charge of the world's business in the future?

Guo Zong took a deep breath, his face was flushed, he took two steps back suddenly, and bowed to Zhao Kuo: "Minister Guo Zong, I have seen the Lord!"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, and helped Guo Zong up himself: "From now on, there will be Mr. Lao!"

Sure enough, everyone is smart!In the study, the monarch and his subjects sat down again.

Zhao Kuo asked, "Did you encounter any troubles after Miao Xian's downfall?"

Guo Zong shook his head and said, "That's not true. After all, Miao Xian is just an official under King Zhao's command. If the performance of his duties is not effective, King Zhao just needs to change another official to solve the problem.

However, after Chen's identity was exposed, some private businesses had been greatly affected, and the ginseng business should also have some impact. "

Zhao Kuo frowned and sighed: "There is no other way, Miao Xian has won the trust of the king after all, it is unrealistic to kill him without revealing anything.

Anyway, the real owner of the ginseng business is Dawang, so let Dawang worry about these things. "

Guo Zong nodded, and then said in a low voice: "My lord, I have already made arrangements. From now on, the iron ore resources and money sent to Zhao's mansion every month will be doubled compared to before. I wonder if the lord is satisfied?"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback, and looked at Guo Zong: "Is it too obvious when you do this?"

Guo Zong smiled slightly, and said confidently: "My lord, I haven't managed it in vain all these years.

Please rest assured, my lord, I will not be so stupid as to seek my own death. "

Zhao Kuo nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "For the time being, there is no need for money. For iron ore, it can be increased. There are always enough things like armor."

The two discussed carefully for a while, mainly about the handling of some details after Miao Xian's downfall to prevent others from seeing the flaws, and how to use Zhao Guo's business network to develop Zhao Kuo's power in the future.

Zhao Kuo said: "Actually, the profession of a businessman is naturally very suitable for spies, because not only can it justifiably appear in and out of various countries, but it can also often come into contact with officials of various countries.

Except for Qin, the other five vassal states are quite encouraging for business. You can secretly set up another chamber of commerce and listen to local information while doing business. I also have some industries in my house, so I will leave them all to you. You will meet with Xu Li later to coordinate these matters. "

The so-called suspect does not need to be suspected, since Guo Zong has been officially accepted, Zhao Kuo will let Guo Zong do it.

As a seasoned veteran of Shang Hai, Guo Zong certainly knew what meant sincerity and what meant acting, so he was even more moved by Zhao Kuo's trust.

Finally, Guo Zong gritted his teeth, and said softly: "I'm not going to hide it from the Lord, in fact, Guo Zong did another thing a few days ago besides trying to rescue the Lord."

Zhao Kuo felt a little thirsty after talking for a long time, so he picked up the copper cup of water on the table and asked, "What is it?"

Guo Zong's voice became lower and lower: "My concubine's father is a palace doctor. I have ordered him to inject chronic poison into the ginseng soup that the king must drink every day. It has been three or four days."

"puff!"

The water in Zhao Kuo's mouth sprayed out directly.

Chapter 142

"You actually poisoned the king?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Guo Zong, feeling that he never expected it.

Look at you, Guo Zong, you also have thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can you play these small routines in a set way?

Guo Zong nodded, and said softly: "Actually, at that time, I was not sure that I would be able to bring down Miao Xian, so I made such a bad move, and I ask the lord to forgive me."

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, waved his hands, and said, "Whether you are guilty or not is not the key. You should immediately inform your old father-in-law that the poisoning operation will be terminated immediately."

Guo Zong was stunned for a moment, then said: "Here.

The minister will notify him immediately. "

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said seriously: "Mr. Guo, I know you also have good intentions.

But if we want to seize the world, it is best not to use such means.

If there are too many intrigues and tricks, people will no longer want to take the avenue of Yangguan, but will easily fall into these crooked ways.

We are fighting to make the world fairer, Mr. Guo, don't forget your original intention. "

The more Guo Zong listened, the more serious his face became, and finally he was convinced, and he saluted Zhao Kuo again: "Thank you for your instruction, my lord, I have been taught."

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "After stopping the poisoning, will the king's body recover?"

Guo Zong thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it won't work.

It's not entirely because of the poisoning. Ever since he got ginseng, the king has never stopped playing songs every night. My father-in-law said that his body is already very weak. Even if he didn't poison him, he would only last two or three years. Life is over. "

"what?"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback: "So short?"

You must know that in history, the king of Zhao lived for more than ten years.

Guo Zong shook his head, and said: "Women are the most energy-consuming, and the king is always cutting down, and every time at least two women are sleeping, you say" sex is a bone-scraping steel knife!Zhao Kuo said: "Don't the palace doctors advise you?"

Guo Zong smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty's confidence in ginseng is much higher than that in palace doctors.

The former palace doctor was directly dismissed by the king and kicked out of the palace just because he said a few more words that he hoped the king would touch less women. This gave the minister's useless father-in-law a chance to take the position. "

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, then said: "So, how long can the king live now?"

Guo Zong said: "Based on the estimation of time, the medicine has already taken about one-third of the dose. Normally, half a month's worth of medicine will be taken and you will die immediately, so the king's life expectancy is estimated." A hasty knock on the door interrupted Guo Zong's words.

Zhao Kuo frowned, and raised his voice, "What's the matter?"

Xu Li's voice came from outside: "Master, someone just came from the palace, saying that the king is critically ill, please enter the palace quickly!"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback and stood up immediately.

This really means that Cao Cao has arrived.

"Mr. Guo, you go back to your house immediately, do what I said before, and I will send someone to contact you for the next thing!"

After Zhao Kuo dropped these words, he immediately went out to enter the palace.

Half an hour later, Zhao Kuo came outside Zhao Wang's bedroom.

Lord Pingyuan, Lord Pingyang, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Zhou Shaofen, all the important ministers of Zhao State arrived, and everyone had a dignified look on their faces.

"What the hell is going on?"

Mr. Pingyuan looked ugly, and asked the newly appointed eunuch Ling.

This eunuch Ling is also an old man in the palace, but he was somewhat at a loss when he encountered this kind of thing just after he took office, and he hurriedly said: "Return to the Lord, today the king is resting at Madam Ji's side, and then he will do things like men and women. Suddenly..." Lin Xiangru frowned, and said with some displeasure: "It's broad daylight now, don't you know how to persuade the king to exercise restraint?

This should be done at night! "

Eunuch Ling gave a wry smile and said, "Lin Qing was joking, who can defy the king's will?"

Lin Xiangru had nothing to say and sighed.

Mr. Pingyuan said slowly: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about other things, let's wait for the doctors to come out and ask about the situation."

A moment of silence.

Zhao Kuo stood aside, thinking silently.

Guo Zong's idea of ​​poisoning King Zhao actually disrupted Zhao Kuo's plan.
