Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 521

Because he still has the old way of thinking, he thinks that merchants are inferior people, and it is enough to let an illegitimate child do it. The direct descendants of the Zhou family must not touch their hands, and he, the patriarch, is too lazy to bother.

Zhou Shaoliang's complexion also changed, and he began to hesitate, hesitating and speechless.

Zhou Shaofen really didn't know about these things, but as the second son's biological father, Zhou Shaoliang was very concerned about this illegitimate son, so how could he not know what good things the second son did?

It's just that Zhou Shaoliang felt before that, anyway, it's just the houses of some assholes, and if they rob them, they will rob them. Could it be that these assholes can still turn the world upside down.

He also never expected that this matter was discovered by Zhao Kuo!Zhou Shaofen immediately sensed something was wrong, and said sharply: "What's going on, you still haven't told the truth at this time!"

Zhou Shaoliang had no choice but to say: "Brother, the thing is like this, I am a child." Zhou Shaoliang truthfully told what the second son did, and of course he tried to beautify it as much as possible.

After Zhou Shaofen listened, he couldn't help but slapped the table.

"You stupid son, you really killed people!"

Chapter 1004 The Zhou Family’s Response Was As Expected by Zhao Kuo (Ninth Change)

As the current real master of the Zhou family, Zhou Shaofen immediately noticed the destructive power of this matter to the Zhou family.

If it is normal, whether Zhou Shaofen went to impeach Zhao Kuo, or Zhao Kuo came to impeach Zhou Shaofen, this is a normal confrontation between two people in the political arena, and Zhao Wang will also follow the principles when dealing with related matters.

What principle?

It is to let Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen maintain a situation of fighting without breaking.

To put it simply, once Zhao Kuo or Zhou Shaofen, which side is stronger, King Zhao will help the other side so that the situation can be stabilized.

But the problem lies in this kind of help from King Zhao, which doesn't mean that everyone must do it.

The premise of Zhao Wang's help is that the two people are fighting normally. If any of these two people violates the interests of Zhao Guo and Zhao Wang, then Zhao Wang will definitely deal with it.

To give an example, it is like the incident of Queen Zhou before. Originally, in that incident, the Zhou family was obviously the weaker side, but because Queen Zhou did too much, King Zhao was still angry. It was the dismissal of Queen Zhou and the success of Queen Li on Zhao Kuo's side.

Now that the second son of the Zhou family does such a thing, it is very likely that he will become the second queen of Zhou, and the Zhou family will completely lose points in Zhao Wang's heart.

It turned out that the Zhou family had been keeping a low profile under Zhou Shaofen's order during this period, in order to quietly watch the war between Li Mu, the traitor, and Zhao Kuo, but they never expected that the son of Tuesday would actually be at this time. When such a moth came out, it directly exposed a flaw to Zhao Kuo.

With Zhao Kuo's maturity and ruthlessness, it doesn't take much to know that this matter will be used to make a big fuss, but this matter is really not Zhao Kuo deliberately messing with Zhou's, but Zhou's violation of the law.

Isn't this delivering food to Zhao Kuo?

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, Zhou Shaoliang panicked, and hurriedly said: "Brother, this matter shouldn't be so serious, right?

Besides, we can also tell the king that Zhao Kuo is deliberately framing us. "

Zhou Shaofen looked at Zhou Shaoliang with the eyes of an idiot and said: "What your son did, as long as you send someone to Pingkangfang to investigate casually, you can get tangible evidence. How do you ask us to help him? , Anyone who is not a fool knows that Zhao Kuo is absolutely impossible to have the ability to bribe these hundreds of families to frame your son together, understand?

The most important thing is that this Pingkangfang was originally the king. After discussing with us, this is the place where Zhao Kuozhong planned to implement the reform experiment. Your son just messed around in this reform experiment place. To destroy the situation of reform, do you think he is looking for death? "

Zhou Shaofen was really angry in his heart, very, very angry.

If Mr. Tue is smarter and just finds another place to make trouble, Zhou Shaofen doesn't care.

To put it bluntly, does any family in this world have a few playboys?

This kind of thing has long been commonplace for everyone, even the king can forgive it.

But, of course you playboys can do some outrageous things and not be held accountable by the king, provided that these things can't hinder the interests of the king.

But now the reform of Pingkangfang undoubtedly involves the interests of King Zhao, and it is even likely to be the core interests of King Zhao.

Why do you say that?

Because the tax paid by Pingkangfang at this time has surpassed that of Dongshi, it has started to catch up with Xishi.

In other words, Pingkangfang has now become a major source of income in Handan City, and as the capital of Zhao State, Handan City itself is the city that pays the most tax in Zhao State.

In other words, whoever is making troubles in Pingkangfang is digging into King Zhao's wealth and working with King Zhao's small treasury.

Considering that this guy is just an illegitimate child, King Zhao's anger can be imagined.

An illegitimate child is rushing to do things on King Zhao's territory, so how much respect can the father of this illegitimate child have for King Zhao?

If King Zhao really thinks of this, let alone the second son of the Zhou family, even Zhou Shaoliang himself will be in great danger.

After Zhou Shaoliang heard Zhou Shaofen's analysis, he was completely dumbfounded.

At first he thought that Zhao Kuo had discovered his son's flaws by accident, but Zhou Shaoliang found out that this incident might affect himself, so he also lost the black hat.

Zhou Shaoliang was extremely terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said to Zhou Shaofen: "Brother, you have to save me, otherwise, we will really be killed by Zhao Kuo this time."

Zhou Shaofen glared at Zhou Shaoliang viciously. To be honest, he was really speechless about this stupid brother, but Zhou Shaofen had no other choice. Closest and trusted political ally.

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath, organized his words, and said slowly: "Since this matter has been caught by Zhao Kuo, then he will definitely not let it go, so, you will make a memorial immediately tomorrow." Go and impeach Zhao Kuo."

"I will impeach Zhao Kuo on the memorial?"

After Zhou Shaoliang heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came back to his senses: "Could it be that brother wants us to strike first?"

Zhou Shaofen nodded and said slowly: "That's right.

This matter has already been obtained, this first step is definitely not kind, so we must first let the king know that this matter was actually carefully planned by Zhao Kuo, and we want to take this opportunity to attack the power of our Zhou family .

We must let the king's thinking be biased towards this being a political struggle, instead of saying that our Zhou family is quietly dismantling the king's platform, otherwise we will definitely lose. "

Zhou Shaoliang nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with Zhou Shaofen's idea, but soon Zhou Shaoliang thought of his son again, so he couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, then how will my child solve it? "

Zhou Shaofen was immediately stunned by this question. He had to say that Mr. Tuesday is indeed very difficult. Since Zhao Kuo had handed Mr. Tuesday to Han Danli, even if Zhou Shaofen could force Handan Order, Handan Order would take care of it. Zhao Kuo's order may not necessarily hand over Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou are pampered in themselves, he will definitely not be able to withstand those interrogations, and he will definitely explain everything when the time comes.

If things really develop to that point, then everything is really hopeless.

Whether an illegitimate child is dead or alive is of course impossible for Zhou Shaofen to take to heart, but if this matter is used by Zhao Kuo as a breakthrough for the Zhou family, then of course Zhou Shaofen will not allow such a thing to happen.

So Zhou Shaofen also immediately made a decision: "The old man will send someone to the Handan government office immediately after the meeting, and leave the rest of the people alone. You must watch your son, and the people from the Handan government office cannot Pull any message out of his mouth.

As for the next thing, let him stay in the prison for a few days first. We must defeat Zhao Kuo in the court discussion before he can be released from prison. "

As the supreme judge of Zhao Guo, Zhou Shaofen is of course very clear about the whole trial process, so the most important thing for him at this time is not to allow other people to control the confession of the son on Tuesday. For the family, it can be said that Zhao Kuo coerced others to frame Mr. Tuesday, so there is still room for maneuver.

What happened next, now Zhou Shaofen couldn't think of so many things at once, so he could only say that he continued to play tricks.

The Zhou family's response can be said to be quite quick, but Zhao Kuo's nightingale is not a dry meal, and the Zhou family's response has been known to Zhao Kuo as soon as it was launched.

"It seems that the Zhou Brothers still know how critical the matter is."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but nodded approvingly after hearing the actions of the Zhou brothers.

For Zhao Kuo, if he and the Zhou brothers live in different places, that's all Zhao Kuo can do.

The difference between Zhao Kuo and the Zhou brothers is that Zhao Kuo will never let his children become people like Mr. Zhou.

Because Zhao Kuo and the Zhou family have different ideas.

For Zhao Kuo, all the people of Zhao State in this world are the subjects that Zhao Kuo will rule in the future. As a king, how could Zhao Kuo impose all kinds of oppression on his subjects?

But it is different for the Zhou family. The Zhou family thinks that these people are the people of King Zhao, so what does it matter to our Zhou family?

So of course we have to find a way to find some oil and water from the hands of these people, so that our Zhou family can get more benefits is the right way.

This is the difference between the ruler's thinking and the minister's thinking, and this is why there have been so many corrupt officials in the past dynasties. To put it bluntly, these guys don't regard this country as "my own country" at all, but just regard it as "my own country". This country is regarded as "the king's country".

Since it is someone else's property, how could it feel bad to pick it up?

Su Li stood in front of Zhao Kuo, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Master, since the Zhou family has already made moves, should we also do something?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "It's really unnecessary.

Go back and get a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. "

For Zhao Kuo, he actually deliberately gave the Zhou family such a one-night reaction time, just to observe what the Zhou family wanted to do.

Know yourself, know your enemy, and never end in a hundred battles. This sentence has long been tired of saying.

Now, after discovering that the Zhou family's response was not beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations, Zhao Kuo felt that it was time to move on to the next step.

The next day, Zhao Kuo got up refreshed, washed up under the service of Yi Quwei, and then boarded the carriage.

"Go to the palace, I am going to ask to see the king."

Yes, in this matter, of course it is Zhao Wang who can finally play a role, so Zhao Kuo will not bother, just go to Zhao Wang directly.

Zhao Wang has been singing every night recently, so Zhao Kuo waited in the side hall for more than half an hour before seeing Zhao Wang who just got up.

Looking at Zhao Wang's increasingly obvious dark circles, Zhao Kuo also murmured in his heart.

This King Zhao was barely restrained during the Korean War, but now that King Zhao has nothing to worry about after the complete demise of South Korea, so this game is even more unscrupulous.

What makes Zhao Kuo speechless is that this King Zhao can play as much as he likes, and he has another hobby, that is, he likes to kill people indiscriminately.

Of course, he didn't mean to kill any ministers, but just killed some eunuchs and court ladies.

But eunuchs and maids are also human beings, no matter what you do, you can't kill one every two days, right?

Therefore, Zhao Kuo also made various memorials every time, suggesting that King Zhao should not kill more people. I have to say that this is still somewhat useful, at least King Zhao did not kill so frequently during this period.

As for the real resolution of this matter, it can only be said after King Zhao ascended the throne.

Zhao Wang was obviously not very energetic, he yawned and said, "Wu Xinjun, you came here so early in the morning in such a hurry, is there something important?"

After Zhao Kuo heard this sentence, he subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the hall.

Well, it's almost noon, and the "early morning" in Zhao Wang's mouth is very spiritual.

Zhao Kuo coughed and said: "It's such a king. I came into the palace today to tell the king what I saw and heard in Pingkangfang yesterday."

As soon as King Zhao heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh, it's that Pingkangfang that has already paid more taxes than Dongshi?

Wu Xinjun, you really have an idea, and you can actually turn a place like that into a widow's pocketbook. "

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "But to tell you the truth, when I was in Pingkangfang yesterday, I discovered that some people are quietly trying to control the entire Pingkangfang, and secretly control the financial resources that originally belonged to the king. in their own hands."

King Zhao was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table: "Is that bastard so lawless that he dared to touch the gold bag?"

The king of Zhao likes to have fun very much, but if he wants to have fun, he must spend money. Even the king is no exception to this point.

Therefore, Zhao Wang has always been more sensitive about money, and when he heard that someone was stealing money, he naturally had an attack on the spot.

What Zhao Kuo wanted was this kind of effect, and immediately told the whole thing truthfully to Zhao Wang.

Listening and listening, the expression on Zhao Wang's face gradually became extremely dignified!

Chapter 1005 The Killing Strike Is Close At Hand (Tenth Update)

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Zhao Wang directly patted the table.

"The second child of the Zhou family is really courageous.

You actually robbed so many shops in Pingkangfang. If it wasn't for Wu Xinjun, I would have been fooled by these bastards! "

Zhao Wang was very angry, really angry.

For him, Pingkangfang, a hen that can only lay golden eggs, must absolutely not be controlled by others.

But if the aristocratic families headed by the Zhou family continue to do this, the future result will inevitably be that all the shops in the entire Pingkangfang will be divided up by these aristocrats.

At that time, it is unnecessary to know that this group of nobles will definitely use some means secretly to make them pay as little tax as possible.

Tossing and turning, this group of nobles took the big head, but the one who paid the tax was the small head, can King Zhao bear it?

Zhao Wang said to the eunuch Ling who was on the side: "You immediately send an order to the widow to Handan Ling, telling him to investigate this matter strictly, otherwise the widow will never let him go lightly!"

Seeing King Zhao being so furious, eunuch Ling naturally didn't dare to neglect, so he went straight to it.

After Zhao Wang saw the eunuch order leaving, his face calmed down a little, and he said to Zhao Kuo, "Wu Xinjun, you can discover the bastard behavior of the second child of the Zhou family, and you have made great contributions to the widow."

It is indeed a great achievement to help King Zhao keep the money bag.

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is not so simple for the veteran."

King Zhao frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Kuo said: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, the second son of the Zhou family is just an illegitimate child, even in the Zhou family, his status is very low.

With his status, does he really have the guts to attack the Pingkangfang Reform District, which was first proposed by the old minister and approved by the king in the court discussion? "

Zhao Wang frowned and said: "You mean?" Zhao Kuo said: "The minister's meaning is very simple. If there is no one behind the scenes, I'm afraid it will give the Zhou family twenty courage, and he will not dare to treat Pingkang Fang like this." The common people do it.

And what is the mechanism that the king, the second son of the Zhou family, used to attack the ordinary people in Pingkangfang?

It's Zhou's Chamber of Commerce!Zhou's Chamber of Commerce must represent Zhou's face, everyone knows this.

If Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang, as the real masters of the Zhou family, don't know anything about what the Zhou family's chamber of commerce does, it's just the second child of the Zhou family's own opinion, does the king think this is justified? "
