Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 544

What do you mean, don't take someone from Zhou seriously?

So, Zhou Shaoliang spoke again: "Why, could it be that Wu Xinjun was hit by the old man's words, so he didn't dare to fight back?"

When Zhou Shaoliang said this, the people around Zhao Kuo suddenly became restless.

Xu Li said coldly: "Zhou Daxing, pay attention to your attitude! You alone are not qualified to stand here and question Wu Xinjun."

Pang Nuan said lightly: "Zhou Daxing, it's not your turn to get involved in this matter, so go aside."

Both Xu Li and Pang Nuan spoke very harshly, and it could be said that they were directly hitting Zhou Shaoliang in the face, which made Zhou Shaoliang stunned.

Usually, although everyone disagrees with each other politically, they are regarded as colleagues, so they are more polite. This kind of situation almost never happened today.

This is also because Xu Li and Pang Nuan are very clear that the current plan to seize power is already in progress, so of course there is no need to be polite to guys like Zhou Shaoliang as before.

After regaining consciousness, Zhou Shaoliang was furious: "This old man is a member of Zhao Guoda, and he is also qualified to discuss matters with the king in the palace. Why do you say that this old man can't get involved in this matter?

Could it be that you are only allowed to disobey the king, and the old man is not allowed to set things right? "

Things have come to this point, of course, Zhou Shaoliang's brother Zhou Shaofen can't continue to remain silent, and said: "Wu Xinjun, it is understandable that you are not satisfied with the king's decision, but it is too much to block the palace gate and forcefully appeal. Bar?"

After Zhou Shaofen spoke, Zhao Kuo's expression finally changed, and his eyes moved to Zhou Shaofen.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaoliang became more and more angry. This Zhao Kuo is too contemptuous.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "This matter is indeed the king's mistake.

Mr. Chang'an is the patriarch of our Zhao family, he has a high reputation among the royal family, and he is also the uncle of the king, how can he kill him just like that?

As ministers, since we find that the king has done something wrong, we should speak up and speak up, instead of flattering the king because of our own selfishness! "

Zhao Kuo's words made Zhou Shaofen's complexion change slightly, because Zhou Shaofen had sentenced Chang'an Lord to death without even thinking about it for political interests before.

Zhou Shaofen snorted and said: "As ministers, what we should do is to help the king to govern the country, not to fight against the king and mess up the entire political arena of Zhao State!"

Zhou Shaofen also thought it over clearly, it seems that Wu Xinjun is prepared to make things bigger today, so there is no need for everyone to continue to be polite.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Since when has the political arena of Zhao State been in such a mess?

This marquis assisted the king to destroy four countries. Could this be called a mess?

On the other hand, Zhou Qing, you have repeatedly opposed this Marquis, and you want to use the King to suppress this Marquis. You are the one who messed up Zhao Guo’s political arena, and you are the real sinner of Zhao Guo! "

Although Zhao Kuo had a smile on his face when he spoke, there was an extremely captivating arrogance in his eyes, which surprised Zhou Shaofen.

Although Zhou Shaofen also knew that Zhao Kuo was really playing for real this time, he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo's "truth" had reached such an astonishing level.

Zhou Shaofen regained his composure and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, you are spouting blood!"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Spitting blood?

Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, this is what I said. If it weren’t for you people who have been dragging my hind legs, I would have already wiped out the other six countries in the world. How can there be Qin now? And the existence of Chu State! "

These words of Zhao Kuo were shocked in the ears of other people, even Zhao Kuo's subordinates were like this.

When he first entered the political arena of Zhao State more than ten years ago, Zhao Kuo belonged to a sharp-edged person. At that time, Zhao Kuo was like a peerless sword, and a sharp aura could stab political opponents.

But later, as Zhao Kuo matured, he also gradually restrained his edge, becoming more ingenious and useless, and the epee has no edge.

People have even forgotten how Zhao Kuo's sword qi radiated and shook the world.

But today, Zhao Kuo's vigor is back!The feeling of the sword being unsheathed returned to Zhao Kuo again, which shocked everyone around Zhao Kuo, and even subconsciously felt a desire to worship him.

Zhou Shaofen also took a deep breath, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, no matter how eloquent you are, but after all, you came here today to disobey the king, and your actions like this are wrong."

Zhao Kuo smiled lightly, raised his chin slightly, and said coldly to Zhou Shaofen: "I hope you, Zhou Qing, can figure out one thing. As the Prime Minister of Zhao State, the first thing I should consider is the whole Zhao State. Interests.

Even if the king violates the interests of the entire Zhao country, it cannot be accepted by me.

Executing Lord Chang'an was just such a thing.

It violates the interests of the entire Zhao country, so we must oppose this matter and let the king take back his order. "

Zhao Kuo's words were simply earth-shattering, and the ears of everyone present were buzzing.

This is Zhao Kuo's public statement. Zhao Wang is actually not as good as the interests of the entire Zhao country in Zhao Kuo's heart.

Zhou Shaofen was also shocked, his body trembling, pointed at Zhao Kuo and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Of course I know what I'm talking about. In fact, isn't that how I have been leading Zhao Guo forward?

Zhao Guo has been able to advance to such a powerful state under my leadership, can't it prove that my method is indeed very successful?

Since I've been successful all along, why should I change?

Shouldn't it be up to someone else to follow my success path? "

Zhao Kuo's series of rhetorical questions left Zhou Shaofen speechless.

Although he wanted to say that what Zhao Kuo said was simply fallacious, Zhou Shaofen suddenly found that he really didn't seem to have any way to refute Zhao Kuo.

After all, what Zhao Kuo said is indeed the truth. Since it is the truth, it is natural to be confident.

Just when Zhou Shaofen didn't know what to say, a very angry voice sounded.

"Well, you Wu Xinjun, so in your heart, is this the status of the widow?"

Chapter 1038 King Zhao Wishes Zhao Kuo to Die

King Zhao stared at Zhao Kuo with extremely cold eyes.

In fact, at the beginning, King Zhao didn't want to appear here.

For King Zhao, he just needs to let Zhao Kuo return without success and wait for Li Mu's return.

But the problem is that when King Zhao heard that Brother Zhou Shaofen also came to the palace and accused Zhao Kuo, he was moved.

In Zhao Wang's view, the Zhou Shaofen brothers are also Zhao Kuo's long-standing political enemies after all. If these two brothers are making trouble, then of course Zhao Kuo can no longer be so calm, and even get a little embarrassed.

Zhao Wang very much hoped to witness Zhao Kuo's embarrassment.

And at that time, King Zhao can stand up and make up for Zhao Kuo, so that Zhao Kuo can know what a real king is.

In addition, the eunuch Ling's strong persuasion also made King Zhao shake.

In the end, Zhao Wang also chose to go to the gate of the palace, wanting to observe secretly, first to see what was going on, and then make a decision.

But what Zhao Wang never expected was that he had just arrived near the gate of the palace when he heard Zhao Kuo utter such shocking words in public.

In Zhao Kuo's heart, the status of King Zhao is actually not ranked first.

If a different monarch is here, perhaps the monarch will greatly appreciate Zhao Kuo's statement that he puts national interests first, but for this young King Zhao, this is definitely not the case.

In King Zhao's view, he is the supreme ruler of Zhao State. Everyone, including Zhao Kuo, should be unconditionally loyal to him. The gods generally come to worship.

So King Zhao became angry immediately.

In this anger, Zhao Wang didn't care about any secret observations, so he stood up directly and severely reprimanded Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Wang's sudden appearance was obviously completely beyond Zhou Shaofen's expectation. After a brief shock, Zhou Shaofen was overjoyed.

From Zhou Shaofen's point of view, although it was true that Zhou Shaofen lost to Zhao Kuo in the debate just now, Zhao Kuo's words like this definitely offended the king very much.

Since Zhao Kuo offended the king so much, if the king came to fight Zhao Kuo head-on, the result would definitely be different from Zhou Shaofen.

No matter how strong Zhao Kuo is, can he still be stronger than the king?

A smile appeared on Zhou Shaofen's face. He gloated at Zhao Kuo's misfortune, and wanted to see how Zhao Kuo was in a hurry. It must be very interesting.

Zhao Kuo looked at King Zhao who suddenly appeared in front of him, without any panic on his face.

For Zhao Kuo, he was originally here waiting for King Zhao, and even if he didn't say those words to Zhou Shaofen, Zhao Kuo actually wanted to say the same to King Zhao.

If you don't say it, why did Zhao Kuo bring so many people here with such a big fanfare today?

Therefore, Zhao Wang's questioning was in Zhao Kuo's arms.

Zhao Kuo said to King Zhao very calmly: "Hasn't Your Majesty heard clearly just now?

If this is the case, then the old minister will tell the king again.

In the opinion of the veteran, at any time, all of us should put Zhao's interests first, even the king should do the same.

If Zhao Guo is strong, all of us can benefit, and if Zhao Guo is damaged just because of blindly respecting the king's order, then all of us will suffer.

The matter of Lord Chang'an is a matter that will definitely cause losses to our Zhao country, so the old minister firmly opposes the killing of Lord Chang'an.

Your Majesty should immediately release Lord Chang'an and reconcile with Lord Chang'an. In this way, all people in the world will be able to see His Majesty's mind and admire him even more.

It doesn't matter if we make mistakes, as long as we can correct them in time, people in the world will definitely praise your majesty. "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Wang's face can be said to be extremely wonderful.

Zhao Wang really did not expect that Zhao Kuo not only did not make any explanation, but went further to express all the statements, directly saying that Zhao Wang was wrong in this matter, and asked Zhao Wang to correct his mistakes .

Zhao Wang said coldly: "Mr. Chang'an dared to disobey the widow, and it was originally a capital crime.

The widow did not say that he killed him privately, but sent him to Si Kou's side. After interrogation, everything was in accordance with the law.

Since the widow killed him legally and legally, it is impossible for the widow to make any mistakes in this matter! "

Of course, it is impossible for King Zhao to give in to Zhao Kuo at this time. In fact, if Zhao Kuo's accusation was not too severe, King Zhao might have started to curse on the spot.

Debating this kind of thing is actually like a duel between two people. If one party's language is very sharp, then the other party will unconsciously fall into a passive position and can only defend temporarily. The current King Zhao This is the case.

But even Zhao Wang didn't realize this situation, because he was completely led by Zhao Kuo at this time, and fell into Zhao Kuo's language and thinking dilemma.

Zhao Kuo looked at King Zhao and said with a smile: "The words of the king are meaningless. You must know that we normally have to collect a lot of evidence if we want to interrogate important officials like Lord Chang'an.

But now, in less than a day, Mr. Chang An was directly sentenced to death. Is this day really enough to collect so much evidence?

And even if there is really evidence, it only takes one day to make a decision, is it too anxious?

If the king wants to deal with any important minister in the future and kill him directly in this way, then the old minister would like to ask, will anyone dare to come to Zhao Guo to serve the king in the future?

That's why the veteran came here with so many colleagues, just to tell the king that this way of doing things is absolutely wrong and must be corrected immediately. "

Zhao Wang listened to Zhao Kuo's words, and the anger in his heart became more and more vigorous.

This Zhao Kuo, as soon as King Zhao spoke, immediately began to refute, and every time he kept saying that King Zhao made a mistake and asked King Zhao to correct it, it was almost like an adult scolding a child who made a mistake.

It is true that the age of Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo are actually different in seniority, but the relationship between the two parties is a relationship between monarch and minister. This kind of seniority does not work in the first place. Why does Zhao Kuo use this attitude to speak to Zhao Wang?

"enough!"

King Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he yelled directly.

At this moment, the anger in Zhao Wang's heart has reached its peak.

For King Zhao, he no longer wants to worry about Li Mu and future plans. What he wants now is to let Zhao Kuo know who is the one who really counts in this country.

King Zhao's face was grim, and he said to Zhao Kuo, "You have to understand that the widow is the real supreme ruler of Zhao, and the widow's words are the real supreme order.

If the widow wants Lord Changan to die, then he must die.

Because this is the right that King Zhao should have, do you understand?

If you are not convinced, then you can sit in my position, and then find a way to pardon Lord Chang'an! "

After saying these words, Zhao Wang felt much more comfortable in his heart.

Zhao Wang glared at Zhao Kuo viciously, then turned and left.

In Zhao Wang's view, since what he wanted to say has been said, there is no need to continue arguing with Zhao Kuo.

Anyway, what Zhao Kuo is going to say next is definitely not something nice to hear, so of course King Zhao is even more unwilling to listen to it, and he just slams the harsh words and leaves, which is really comfortable.

Looking at the back of King Zhao leaving, the expression on Zhao Kuo's face changed slightly. In the eyes of others, this change of expression showed the agitation in Zhao Kuo's heart.

Zhou Shaofen looked at Zhao Kuo gloatingly, with a very obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

In Zhou Shaofen's view, Zhao Wang just did not hide his dislike for Zhao Kuo.

What does this show?

It shows that King Zhao really couldn't wait to get rid of Zhao Kuo.

Even in order to refute Zhao Kuo just now, King Zhao uttered a sentence of condemnation, that is, if Zhao Kuo refused to accept it, he would sit on the throne.

Does Zhao Kuo have this list to sit on the throne?

In Zhou Shaofen's view, Zhao Kuo absolutely did not have the guts to do so.

After the dispute between the two parties at the gate of the palace is spread today, the whole world will know the conflict between King Zhao and Zhao Kuo, and they can no longer hide it.

At that time, it was time for Zhou Shaofen to really exert his strength.
