Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 543

Sure enough, Zhao Wang was very happy after seeing Zhou Shaofen's memorial, and approved it almost without thinking: "Yes! Beheaded in three days for public display!"

King Zhao couldn't wait any longer. He felt that it was not enough to kill hundreds of people in one go. This time, he wanted to use the head of Lord Chang'an to frighten the entire Handan City, especially those people led by Zhao Kuo.

Whoever offends the widow will end up like this!After this series of events reached Zhao Kuo's ears, even Zhao Kuo was a little stunned: "Is this killing Lord Chang'an?"

Things were really fast, from Changan Lord handing over the memorial, to Changan Lord entering the palace and being arrested and imprisoned, and then to Zhou Shaofen's verdict and sent to King Zhao for approval, the whole process did not even exceed 36 hours!At this time, Zhao Kuo had just received a secret report from Eunuch Ling and Nightingale's various systems, and he was calling his allies to discuss the situation.

After hearing this situation, Zhao Kuo's confidants and allies also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Pang Nuan said: "Wu Xinjun, what should we do now?"

Zhao Kuo thought about it, took the banknotes first, and wrote a sentence to Su Li.

Su Li nodded after reading it, and immediately left the study.

Afterwards, Zhao Kuo looked up at the allies in front of him, and said decisively: "Don't hesitate, immediately enter the palace with me!"

Chapter 1035 Zhao Kuo He Wants to Force the Palace

When Zhao Kuo said these words, there was a certain kind of light in his eyes.

For Zhao Kuo, this is actually a very good opportunity. The sudden outbreak of King Zhao made Zhao Kuo find an opportunity to continue participating in it.

Zhao Kuo's current idea is actually very simple, that is, to make this matter as big as possible. In this way, when King Zhao attacks Zhao Kuo in the future, Zhao Kuo's counterattack will be taken for granted.

Zhao Wang, who was in the palace, was actually in a very good mood at this time.

"This Zhou Shaofen doesn't seem too stupid, he finally knows to act according to the will of the widow."

Looking at Zhou Shaofen's memorial requesting the execution of Lord Chang'an in front of him, King Zhao gave his approval.

The eunuch Ling was standing beside King Zhao, smiling at this moment, and said to King Zhao: "Although Zhou Shaofen said that he was a little too complacent back then, but in the past two years, they are quite obedient. It's also very respectful."

Eunuch Ling is also a smart person. Now that what he wants to do has been achieved, he certainly doesn't mind continuing to say a few words along the way of King Zhao to make King Zhao even more happy.

Sure enough, after hearing the eunuch Ling's words, the expression on Zhao Wang's face became more and more cheerful, and he smiled at the eunuch Ling: "This country is a country of widows. As the minister of this country, Zhou Shaofeng takes it for granted. The earth will obey the command of the widow."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wang seemed to think of something, and suddenly sneered again.

"There are still some people who are unwilling to obey the orders of the widow, thinking about confronting the widow every day.

The days of these people will not be too long. "

Needless to say, this sentence is of course Zhao Kuo.

For Zhao Wang's words, the eunuch Ling smiled.

At this moment, an officer of the Imperial Guard of the Zhao Kingdom came in with a flustered expression, and reported something to King Zhao, which gave King Zhao some unexpected news.

"Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo and a group of ministers have gathered outside the palace, hoping to see the king."

Zhao Wang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "What is he going to do here at this time?"

Zhao Wang didn't think he could get an answer, but the officer of the Imperial Guard really gave an answer.

"My lord, Wu Xinjun has already said that he is here this time for the matter of Da Zongzheng Chang'an Lord Zhao Ming."

After hearing these words, the expression on Zhao Wang's face seemed to be frozen for an instant.

If it is said at this time, what is the last thing King Zhao wants to hear, then someone who comes to intercede for Lord Chang'an is definitely ranked first.

But now such a thing just happened, and the person who came forward was none other than Zhao Kuo, Wu Xinjun, whom King Zhao had always feared the most.

Even Zhao Kuo didn't come by himself, but brought a group of ministers.

The next moment, the table in front of Zhao Wang suffered a disaster, and was severely punched by Zhao Wang.

"This damned Zhao Kuo, is he here to force the palace with the widow?"

King Zhao said these words almost through gritted teeth.

Standing beside King Zhao, Eunuch Ling's eyes also skipped a beat.

Of course the eunuch Ling also knew that Zhao Kuo would definitely make some moves, but even the eunuch Ling didn't expect that Zhao Kuo's actions would come so quickly, and it seemed that he didn't intend to give Zhao Kuo any face at all.

It was at this time that eunuch Ling suddenly discovered that perhaps the eunuch Ling's estimation of Zhao Kuo was still very insufficient.

Once Zhao Kuo wants to do something, he will definitely move like a rabbit, like a thunder erupting in an instant, completely beyond everyone's imagination.

After Zhao Wang cursed a few words viciously, he also began to fall into deep thought.

Now there is actually a question, that is, should we meet Zhao Kuo and his group?

This question is not complicated, but it made Zhao Wang tangled up for a while.

If you see it, Zhao Kuo brought a group of ministers to put pressure on King Zhao, and this matter seems to be difficult to end.

To put it bluntly, although King Zhao was very angry and wanted to get rid of Zhao Kuo, in King Zhao's heart, as long as Li Mu came back in a few days, King Zhao didn't need to worry about these few days.

So after thinking about it, Zhao Wang said decisively: "Eunuch Ling, you go outside and tell Zhao Kuo that the widow is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to see him!"

Zhao Wang obviously has made up his mind, that is to forcibly delay the time, as long as after a few days of delay, when Li Mu comes back, then Zhao Wang can completely settle the score with Zhao Kuo.

After hearing Zhao Wang's words, the eunuch Ling didn't dare to be negligent, he responded, and then walked out of the palace.

The palace city of Zhao State was relatively large, so the eunuch Ling hurried all the way and walked for a long time before arriving at the gate of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, the eunuch Ling really saw Zhao Kuo and a group of ministers around Zhao Kuo.

The eunuch Ling Chou scanned the group of people around Zhao Kuo with his eyes, and found that key figures like Pang Nuan and Xu Li were all present.

Eunuch Ling immediately knew that Zhao Kuo was really serious this time.

Just when eunuch Ling saw Zhao Kuo, of course Zhao Kuo also saw eunuch Ling, so he walked up.

"Does Your Majesty have anything to say?"

Zhao Kuo asked eunuch Ling.

Eunuch Ling nodded. After all, he was in a public place now, so of course Eunuch Ling looked like he was doing business.

"Your Majesty has an order, saying that you are not in good health today, so you will not be able to see Mr. Wu Xin. If there is anything you need to do, you can just file a memorial when you go back."

As a veteran who has been in the political arena for many years, Eunuch Ling is also very aware of this way of putting things in a more tactful way.

While speaking, Eunuch Ling blinked at Zhao Kuo calmly.

Zhao Kuo also blinked his eyes calmly, and then said in a very cold voice: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, why did Mr. Chang'an, as the Da Zhongzheng of our country of Zhao, be sentenced to death suddenly? Woolen cloth?

Your Majesty should make this matter public to us, and the people of the world should give an explanation. Otherwise, if the word gets out, wouldn’t it make the people of the world look down on our Zhao country? "

For Zhao Kuo, it is of course impossible for him to just give up like this. On the contrary, Zhao Kuo wants to make this matter even bigger.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the eunuch Ling also showed a embarrassed expression on his face, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, the king of Chang'an has his own considerations, so don't meddle here. gone."

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to the eunuch order calmly: "Let me just say this, if the king doesn't give an explanation today and doesn't see us, then we will stay here and not leave! "

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's attitude was unprecedentedly tough.

Chapter 1036

Faced with Zhao Kuo's forceful questioning, even the eunuch Ling was a little stunned.

Judging from the original thoughts in the eunuch Ling's mind, Zhao Kuo may just put on a show this time to let the world see that Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wang did not have the same idea on this matter.

But judging from Zhao Kuo's aggressive attitude now, it is obvious that Zhao Kuo didn't want to do it like eunuch Ling.

At this time, the eunuch suddenly regretted it in his heart. Perhaps he should have sent someone to communicate with Zhao Kuo earlier, so that it would be easier to control Zhao Kuo's thoughts and cooperate with Zhao Kuo's actions.

Eunuch Ling's thoughts were raging, and he didn't speak for a while, but in the eyes of others, it was obvious that Eunuch Ling was rendered speechless by Zhao Kuo's questioning.

Since Zhao Kuo, the main general, has already taken the lead in charging into the battle, it is of course impossible for Zhao Kuo's allies to just watch from the sidelines.

Xu Li immediately said: "As a monarch, Your Majesty has the right to respond to our subjects' doubts, this is the real way of a monarch and his subjects.

If the king is unwilling to communicate with us even with such a response, can the trust between the monarchs and ministers of our Zhao country continue to be maintained? "

Xu Li also issued an extremely severe torture. After Xu Li finished speaking, other allies and Zhao Kuo's subordinates all expressed their support, and their saliva tended to drown out the eunuch order.

Just when eunuch Ling was at a loss, Zhao Kuo spoke again.

"I also ask the eunuch to go back immediately and tell the king that if the king does not give us a result today, we will not leave the palace."

This sentence seemed to be persecuting the eunuch Ling, but when the eunuch Ling heard it, he was instructed, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

Yes, this matter is not about the contradiction between Zhao Kuo and the eunuch order, but the contradiction between Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wang. The eunuch order is actually just a mouthpiece between the two parties.

Since it's just a megaphone, then you only need to be a ruthless megaphone. Why do you need to have your own ideas?

The eunuch Ling smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "In that case, please wait here for a while, the old man will go ahead and report to the king."

Seeing the leaving figure of the eunuch Ling, the ministers of Zhao Kuo's faction were quite excited.

For them, such an act of questioning King Zhao's order before coming to the palace is actually extremely rare.

It is precisely because of its rarity that, except for Zhao Kuo's absolute confidantes and allies, when everyone came here, they actually didn't have much confidence in their hearts.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Kuo's most trusted eunuch order was thrown into chaos by Zhao Kuo's short words, and they had to go back and continue to seek Zhao Wang's opinion.

Obviously, this seems to give Zhao Kuo the upper hand in this game between the monarch and his ministers.

So under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the people of Zhao Kuo's faction were rejoiced and inspired, and it also made them have more expectations for victory in their hearts.

On the other side, when King Zhao heard the eunuch order's report, he became even more angry.

"Is this damn Zhao Kuo crazy?

How dare you even block the gate of the widow's palace!Go and tell Handan Ling immediately, and let Handan Ling send someone to take Zhao Kuo and his gang of rebellious officials and thieves away! "

Obviously, Zhao Wang was also very angry in his heart at this moment, wishing to kill Zhao Kuo directly.

After hearing the order from King Zhao, eunuch Ling was also taken aback, and couldn't help but immediately dissuaded him.

"Your Majesty can't do this. If you really say that, wouldn't it be a showdown with Wu Xinjun in advance?"

Zhao Wang said angrily: "The widow is the real master of Zhao, so what if the widow kills Zhao Kuo today?"

Eunuch Ling hurriedly continued to remind: "That's what you said, but if the king really does this, then all the previous plans will have to be overthrown and restarted.

Your Majesty should know that if that happens, it will cause a lot of trouble, and it may not be able to ensure our success today! "

After these words were finished, Zhao Wang fell into silence immediately.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Kuo was not the only one who was worried about King Zhao, but also Zhao Guo's [-] Chi You troops outside Handan City.

The fighting power of Chi You's army is truly the best in the world. Once it is launched at this time and is killed by Chi You's army into Handan City, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Wang was not reconciled, and said very angrily: "Then according to your statement, is there nothing I can do about this Zhao Kuo?"

When eunuch Ling heard this, he knew that he had reached the final critical step in persuading King Zhao.

Next, Eunuch Ling only needs to persuade King Zhao to go out and meet Zhao Kuo, and then he can successfully complete this task.

As for what will happen after the two meet, Eunuch Ling feels that this should be considered by Zhao Kuo. Anyway, Eunuch Ling doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Just when Eunuch Ling was about to speak, another official walked in quickly and reported another news that surprised both of them.

"My lord, just now the Zhou brothers led another group of ministers, and they have arrived at the gate of the palace, and they are confronting the ministers of Wu Xinjun's faction!"

This news made Zhao Wang stunned for a moment, and then Zhao Wang suddenly burst into laughter.

"The Zhou Brothers did a very good job this time. Let them have a good dog-eat-dog outside first. The widows only need to watch the show."

Seeing King Zhao's gloating expression, Eunuch Ling was speechless for a while, and could not help complaining secretly that the Zhou brothers were really bad things.

However, considering that the Zhou brothers themselves are Zhao Kuo's political opponents, it is indeed not surprising that they would make such a move.

It's just that if this is the case, the eunuch's order will have no effect for the time being, and the real game will once again be transferred outside the gate of the palace.

Even so, eunuch Ling felt more confident in his heart, because he knew that Zhao Kuo would never lose to the Zhou Brothers no matter what.

At this moment, outside the gate of the palace, Zhou Shaoliang, one of the Zhou brothers, was looking at Zhao Kuo arrogantly.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu Xin, as the majestic Xiangbang of Zhao Guo, you would actually do such a thing that disrespects the king, is it really ridiculous?"

Chapter 1037 Zhao Wang's Status in Zhao Kuo's Heart

Zhou Shaoliang's words were full of sarcasm.

For Zhou Shaoliang, there are not many opportunities to ridicule like this!Looking at Zhou Shaoliang in front of him, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, with a calm expression, and ignored Zhou Shaoliang.

This immediately made Zhou Shaoliang very upset.
