Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 518

Yes, eunuch Ling made up his mind to officially join the group.

In fact, this determination was already made when Eunuch Ling chose not to report to King Zhao, but came to see Zhao Kuo quietly.

It's just that, after it is confirmed that Zhao Kuo can give eunuch Ling great benefits, eunuch Ling will officially join.

Otherwise, if there is no benefit and such a big risk, of course he would not do it.

Zhao Kuo looked at the eunuch order with a smile on his face.

In fact, when the eunuch's order suddenly broke Zhao Kuo's actions at the beginning, Zhao Kuo was a little flustered, because Zhao Kuo was not sure whether the eunuch's order only represented himself, or that King Zhao had already I know about it.

If King Zhao really knew about this matter, then Zhao Kuo would have to find a way to escape from Handan immediately, otherwise the next step would be a dead end.

But through the conversation with the eunuch Ling, Zhao Kuo quickly understood that the eunuch Ling actually just wanted to take advantage, and then he could join the group, so now Zhao Kuo is more confident.

You must know that if you want to seize power, the position of eunuch order is very important.

Because at a critical moment, once Zhao Kuo needs to send troops into the palace, the eunuch order can cooperate with the inside and outside, achieving an effect that thousands of troops cannot achieve.

After expressing his loyalty, the eunuch order said to Zhao Kuo: "My lord, do these actions of the king need to be sabotaged by the old man in secret?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head slightly, and said to the eunuch order: "There is no need for this, eunuch order, you only need to faithfully implement the orders of the king, but, if the king has other new orders, I hope You can send someone to notify me as soon as possible."

For Zhao Kuo, these arrangements of Zhao Wang were actually expected by Zhao Kuo, but what Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that Zhao Wang's character seemed to be more irritable, which is why he let the eunuch so quickly. The order arranges for the dead.

However, the most indispensable thing under Zhao Kuo's command is elite soldiers. Among other things, just pulling one out of Chi You's army can crush these so-called dead soldiers by a few streets, so Zhao Kuo is not worried at all.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Eunuch Ling felt more relieved.

For eunuch Ling, if Zhao Kuo hoped that eunuch Ling would take some actions to destroy King Zhao's plan, then eunuch Ling would feel that Zhao Kuo was not prepared at all.

The current situation just shows that the eunuch Ling can actually trust Zhao Kuo completely, because Zhao Kuo's every move is in Zhao Kuo's calculations.

Eunuch Ling thought for a while, and asked the last question of the day: "I don't know when Wu Xinjun will start the big event?"

Eunuch Ling himself was actually very flustered about participating in such things as usurping the throne.

As far as the eunuch order is concerned, he is eager for Zhao Kuo to launch it immediately, so that he can save many nights and dreams, and it will be bad if his actions are exposed.

Facing the eunuch Ling's question, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but smile.

Don't say anything else, just say how could Zhao Kuo tell the eunuch order in front of him the time of the launch? Of course, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Zhao Kuo thought about it, and said to the eunuch order: "For the time being, we still need to wait for an opportunity. As long as the opportunity arrives, we will launch it immediately."

The eunuch Ling was not disappointed after hearing Zhao Kuo's answer, but instead showed a somewhat expectant expression.

From the point of view of eunuch Ling, since Zhao Kuo has answered with such certainty, it is obvious that the day when the real action will start is not far away.

The eunuch nodded in satisfaction, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Then the old man will quietly wait for your order in the palace."

Things should end here.

Eunuch Ling stood up, bid farewell to Zhao Kuo and left, and Zhao Kuo naturally asked Su Li to continue to leave through the side door with his carriage.

After a while, Su Li returned to Zhao Kuo's study and reported to Zhao Kuo, "My lord, he has already left, and it seems that he is not being watched by anyone."

In order to prevent it from being exposed, every time other people come to secretly ask Zhao Kuo to see him, Zhao Kuo will send Nightingale to secretly protect these people back home, and observe whether these guys have been followed by others by the way.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and said directly to Su Li, "This Eunuch Ling already knows about our intention to usurp the throne."

This sentence directly surprised Su Li, and after a few seconds, Su Li said: "Should we send some people on the road to kill the eunuch order directly?"

As an intelligence leader, Su Li definitely fits the profile of the person for this position, that is, he is quite ruthless.

Looking at Su Li, who was full of murderous intent in front of him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing, and said to Su Li, "There is no need for this, because I have already recruited eunuch Ling into the gang just now."

This news surprised Su Li again, but then he was overjoyed: "If we really have the help of eunuch Ling, then our success can be said to be certain."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, then thoughtful.

The matter of the eunuch order actually reminded Zhao Kuo that the road to power must come to an end as soon as possible and a result should be obtained.

Over the years, Zhao Kuo has made many arrangements in order to seize power, and these arrangements will inevitably leave some traces, as if the eunuch order can infer these through clues.

Since eunuch orders can be inferred, there is no guarantee that other people will not infer the same.

Eunuch Ling chose to cooperate with Zhao Kuo, so this matter was not exposed, but if other people happened to be hostile to Zhao Kuo, and they ran to report to King Zhao, it would be really troublesome.

In order to avoid such troubles, the only way is to solve the whole thing as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo finally made up his mind.

"Next spring, let's solve this problem thoroughly."

Yes, this is the first time Zhao Kuo has confirmed the specific date of the power seizure plan so many years after the power seizure plan was determined.

As for why it was chosen next year, the answer is actually very simple, that is because Li Mu's preparations are not yet sufficient.

As long as you wait until next year, everything is ready, and you really only owe Dongfeng.

So the question is, what is Dongfeng?

Zhao Kuo also had the answer in his heart, this Dongfeng is the next new war in Zhao Guo!

Chapter 1001 Returning to Pingkang Square (Fifth Change)

In the days that followed, nothing seemed to happen.

With the support of King Zhao, Li Mu obtained a large number of military officials, and was busy consolidating his power during this time.

After Zhou Shaofen had been taught so many times by Zhao Kuo, he kept his own law and order. The Zhou brothers only cared about their own affairs, and basically did not take any hostile actions against Zhao Kuo.

As for Zhao Kuo's side, it goes without saying that originally Zhao Kuo didn't want to make too much trouble, so he could quietly push forward his plan to seize power, so when no one else took action, Zhao Kuo also moved smoothly. Development power.

Of course, while developing power, we must also pay close attention to the practical things we should do for the common people.

Handan, Pingkangfang.

On this day, Zhao Kuo came to Pingkangfang again with his eldest son Zhao Qian for a private visit.

The place name Pingkangfang is now very legendary for Handan and even the entire Zhao Kingdom.

It was originally the most backward place in Handan, but because of Wu Xinjun's policy, it instantly became an extremely lively and prosperous trade zone. The tax has officially surpassed that of Handan East City.

You must know that Handan East City has existed for hundreds of years, but Pingkangfang has only been developed in a few months.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that it can directly exceed hundreds of years in a few months.

After such a huge development, the current Pingkangfang can be said to have completely changed its old appearance.

As soon as you get off the carriage, you can see the newly built and quite imposing gate of Pingkangfang.

After entering the gate, you can also see the neat rows of new houses on both sides of the street.

Without exception, these houses all have a shop, and the shops are full of businessmen who are enthusiastically soliciting business.

It can be said that every household in Pingkangfang is opening a store and starting a business. If you don't open a store, you will be laughed at by others, saying that you have no brains.

In front of these shops are dense crowds of people, and many shops have long queues directly. Customers have to wait for a long time before they can buy what they want, but judging from the expressions of these customers, there is no expression on their faces. The impatience is obviously already used to this way.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo felt a little emotional in his heart.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Kuo certainly knew that this way of opening up the storefront could promote business, but even Zhao Kuo himself didn't know that the promotion effect was so great.

Zhao Qian on the side was even more excited, and kept introducing Zhao Kuo.

"Father, the food over there is delicious, but the proprietress is a bit strange. Every time I go, he looks at me with creepy eyes, and I feel like I want to escape, as if I will be eaten by him. Same."

"Father, look at the family in front of us again. The wine in this family is also very good. It is comparable to the wine in our family, but the degree is quite different."

Zhao Kuo snorted, looked at Zhao Qian curiously, and said, "You brat, when did you teach me to drink?"

Only then did Zhao Qian come back to his senses. It turned out that he had slipped his mouth unknowingly, and he froze all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing, and patted Zhao Qian on the shoulder: "Remember not to get drunk secretly next time, your mother has complained to me many times! Also, when you are talking in your sleep, don't always Let’s mention the little girl from the tofu shop.”

As a father, how could Zhao Kuo not pay attention to his eldest son, the future heir?

Zhao Qian couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

The young man's mind was revealed, so he naturally described it in two words as embarrassing, very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help smiling even more.

After walking a few steps, I finally saw a signboard for Wu's Tofu Shop in front of me.

This Wu's Tofu shop is not bragging, there are at least twenty or thirty people in line, which is much stronger than the surrounding shops.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian with a smile: "Isn't this your home stadium, why don't you go and have a look?"

Zhao Qian blushed and walked into the tofu shop.

In the tofu shop at the moment, Wu Fei's family of three are busy. After all, there are so many customers, it can be said that they are too busy to touch the ground.

After seeing Zhao Qian, Wu Fei was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and saw Zhao Kuo not far away.

This time Wu Fei was really taken aback, and hurried out with a cane.

Wu Fei's move immediately made some customers dissatisfied, saying: "Old Wu, you are busy selling things, why did you leave?"

Wu Fei hurriedly turned his head and was about to speak, but Zhao Qian had already said, "Master, what do you want, just tell me."

Wu Fei wanted to say something, but Zhao Kuo came up with a smile: "He's used to it, it's fine.

Come on, find a place to chat with me. "

Only then did Wu Fei follow Zhao Kuo to the back house.

After this period of business, Wu Fei’s house has also changed a lot, and it has become a courtyard-like shape. The side near the road has been turned into a pavement for selling goods, and the rest is a place for people to live and make tofu. .

Wu Fei took Zhao Kuo to the main room at the back and sat down. He was about to get some food and drink, but Zhao Kuo held him down with a smile: "Okay, okay, it doesn't take so much trouble, I just want to I want to talk to you."

Wu Fei then sat down cautiously, and said to Zhao Kuo, "I don't know what you want to know?

The little ones must know everything. "

Wu Fei can be said to be full of gratitude to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo not only saved Wu Fei's life, but also gave Wu Fei a new life.

If it was in the past, how could Wu Fei imagine that his family would be able to regain such a wealthy life one day?

Not only Wu Fei, but many people in the entire Pingkangfang also benefited from Zhao Kuo's policy, and their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Wu Fei: "What do you think of the current development of Pingkangfang?"

Wu Fei said with a smile: "It's much better now than before, the streets are clean, the old houses are almost demolished, and there are smiles on people's faces.

Alas, in short, it has changed so much that it doesn't feel like the same place anymore. "

Wu Fei's emotion is also from the heart.

Once upon a time, the air in Pingkangfang was filled with the smell of excrement and urine, and there were dilapidated houses on both sides of the road. More than half of the people living here were poorly clothed and hungry. It can be said to be very miserable.

But it’s different now, there is shit and urine on the street, how can others be willing to walk here, how can they be willing to do business here?

Must be cleaned.

With the money, the clothes will be arranged immediately, the house will be built immediately, not to mention the smile on people's faces, it will come back immediately.

People, after all, have to live, without life, there is nothing!Wu Fei knew that everything in Pingkangfang was brought about by Zhao Kuo.

Without Wu Xinjun, there would be no Pingkangfang today.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, and said, "Actually, to tell you the truth, I can see all these in the memorial. What I want to know, is there any problem that Pingkang Fang needs to solve now?"

As we all know, this thing has two sides. The development of Pingkangfang is certainly very gratifying, but this kind of development cannot be all smooth sailing.

It's like the reform and opening up of later generations. Generally speaking, it is a good thing, and it has made the people of the whole country live a good life, but in fact, many problems and contradictions have emerged during this process.

The reason why Zhao Kuo came to Pingkangfang today is to discover these problems and contradictions and resolve them.

Only by removing all the stumbling blocks on the road of development, can Pingkangfang develop better and play a leading role in Handan and Zhao Kuo as a whole.

Wu Fei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it."

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Wu Fei, your acting skills are really bad.

All right, let's talk about it. "

Zhao Kuo has already said that, and Wu Fei is naturally unable to continue to be stubborn. He can only say helplessly: "It is such a gentleman, the current problem is not the problem of Pingkangfang itself, but the entire Zhao country. They all want to come to Pingkangfang to do business.

Our house in Pingkangfang is not enough! "

Zhao Kuo was stunned.

Wu Fei sighed, and stood up: "How about this, Junhou, you should go out with me and take a look, and you should be able to know how popular the house in Pingkangfang is now."
