Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 517

"Wu Xinjun, did he expect this matter?"

Eunuch Ling is an old man. It is precisely because he is very old that he has experienced and witnessed many things, such as those political storms against Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kuo's victories again and again.

Yes, whether on the battlefield or in the political arena, Zhao Kuo has always been a well-deserved winner.

Many times, Zhao Kuo would look very embarrassed when the storm just came, but if you take a detailed inventory afterwards, you will find that Zhao Kuo always seems to have predicted the direction of everything in advance, and many times it is not Zhao Kuo. Kuo is the ultimate, but Zhao Kuo is digging a hole for his opponent to jump into!So, this time, is Zhao Kuo also digging a hole?

Eunuch Ling thought about it carefully, and then his cold sweat broke out even more.

First of all, will Zhao Kuo dig a hole for King Zhao?

Eunuch Ling didn't know the answer to this question, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that Zhao Kuo wouldn't mind digging a hole for King Zhao if he could.

If you look at it according to the idea of ​​"Zhao Kuo digging a hole in King Zhao", some things that were originally difficult to understand seem to be easier to understand suddenly.

For example, eunuch Ling suddenly raised his head, his whole face was full of disbelief: "General?

! ”

At this moment of eunuch order, he realized.

Yes, if Li Mu and Zhao Kuo's turnaround is just a scene, then the hole has already been completely dug, just waiting for someone to jump into it.

This person could be Zhou Shaofen or Zhao Wang!With a bang, the eunuch dropped some papers on the desk case to the ground. It turned out that he was too frightened to knock over the papers involuntarily.

"So it is, so it is!"

Eunuch Ling muttered to himself.

At this moment, he felt that he had grasped the truth!Why do you say that?

Because if according to the conjecture of eunuch order, then the whole thing and design are really very Zhao Kuo's style, it can be said that it is completely Zhao Kuo's style.

The eunuch Ling thought about it and felt that things must be like this.

"Let the king know!"

The eunuch Ling didn't care about other things, and directly raised the case and walked towards the door.

But when he reached the door, Eunuch Ling suddenly hesitated again.

Because, another thought emerged from his mind.

"If this whole matter is Wu Xinjun's calculation, then is my performance in Wu Xinjun's calculation?"

As soon as this question came up, Eunuch Ling suddenly felt his body become stiff.

If everything is in Zhao Kuo's calculations, then if eunuch Ling really went to inform Zhao Wang, wouldn't it be a dead end!A bone-piercing chill directly swept through the eunuch Ling, making him unable to move at all.

At this moment, the eunuch Ling suddenly felt abnormally difficult to breathe.

What should I do?

Obviously Zhao Kuo is not here at all, but Eunuch Ling has a feeling that Zhao Kuo is looking behind him, looking at him quietly! "No!"

The eunuch let out a loud cry, took two steps back, and fell to the ground.

A concerned voice came from outside the door: "My lord, are you alright?"

It was the eunuch Ling's guards who were asking questions outside.

Eunuch Ling collected himself and said, "The old man is fine!"

After this little episode, finally let the eunuch Ling come back with some gods.

So, what to do?

Eunuch Ling is still hesitant.

For eunuch Ling, he is really not calm, because he knows that this matter can be said to be related to the national fortune and future of Zhao, and it is also related to the fate of eunuch Ling's family!Of course he has to make a choice, but this choice must make him stand on the side of the winner, so as to ensure the smooth continuation of the eunuch's entire family.

Yes, winner!The eunuch made his body tremble suddenly.

If you regard this matter as a game between Wu Xinjun and the king, then what will Wu Xinjun do after victory?

Eunuch Ling's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

After a while, a name jumped out of Eunuch Ling's mouth: "Mr. Wu Xin, he wants to be the second Zhao Dun!"

Who is Zhao Dun?

He is the ancestor of Zhao Wang's family and also the ancestor of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Dun was the Shangqing of the Jin State, which is equivalent to the position of Zhao Kuo's Xiangbang today.

The King of Jin at that time wanted to kill Zhao Dun, and then Zhao Dun killed the King of Jin with his backhand!It was also from Zhao Dun that the courtiers of the Jin State headed by the six Qing clans seized the supreme power that originally belonged to the Jin State monarch, and slowly evolved, finally laying the foundation for the division of the Zhao, Han, and Wei families into the Jin Dynasty.

Zhao Kuo's blood is also flowing with Zhao Dun's genes, if one day Zhao Kuo really wins in the struggle with King Zhao, there is no guarantee that Zhao Kuo will not kill the king like Zhao Dun did back then!After all, the Zhao Kuo that eunuch Ling knew had always been very decisive!Thinking of this, eunuch Ling suddenly remembered another thing.

That was the death of Zhao Dan, the first king of Zhao State.

According to the long-standing views, it is believed that the former king died suddenly and suddenly.

But not long ago, someone secretly reported to eunuch Ling, saying that the former king was probably poisoned to death by Guo Zong.

Who is Guo Zong?

That is one of Wu Xinjun's confidantes now!It was precisely because he knew about the relationship between Guo Zong and Zhao Kuo, and because he didn't have any evidence, that the eunuch order directly suppressed the whistleblower.

But now that I think about it, if the former king was killed by Guo Zong, it is very likely that Guo Zong was instigated by Zhao Kuo!In other words, Zhao Kuo may have already killed a king of Zhao!Thinking of this, eunuch Ling was completely dumbfounded.

"Wu Xinjun, what a Wu Xinjun" the eunuch Ling shuddered completely.

Originally, he thought that Mr. Wu Xin was amazing enough, but today, he suddenly discovered that Mr. Wu Xin still has so many secrets and has done so many earth-shattering things!what to do?

Firmly loyal to the king, against Zhao Kuo?

Or think of other ways?

On this day, the guards guarding outside the eunuch Ling's room felt a little strange, because they found that the eunuch Ling hadn't left the room all day!That night, an ordinary-looking carriage quietly drove into Zhao Kuo's mansion.

Afterwards, a man covered in black came out of the carriage. The man in black was led by Su Li to Zhao Kuo's study, and met Zhao Kuo alone.

Zhao Kuo smiled gently and said, "The eunuch ordered a sudden visit late at night, could it be that something important happened?"

Eunuch Ling stared at Zhao Kuo, and suddenly said, "Mr. Wu Xin, do you want to rebel?"

Chapter 1000 Zhao Kuo confirmed the date of seizing power for the first time (fourth change)

Facing the eunuch Ling's words, Zhao Kuo was obviously stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Why did the eunuch Ling suddenly ask this question?"

The eunuch Ling Jingping said: "The old man got a message not long ago that Guo Zong is very likely to be the murderer who murdered the late king!"

After Zhao Kuo heard the words of the eunuch order, he was also taken aback. Did the eunuch order know all this?

But on the surface, Zhao Kuo still had a nonchalant expression: "The eunuch Ling is joking, Guo Zong is my retainer, and I know him very well.

How could he murder the king?

This is definitely a slander. "

The eunuch order did not argue with Zhao Kuo on this matter, but said: "There is one more thing, that is, the king wants the old man to send someone to keep an eye on the general Li Mu, and at the same time arrange a group of unknown dead men." scholar.

Wu Xinjun, you should know what this means, right? "

Zhao Kuo was silent.

After a while, Zhao Kuo slowly said to the eunuch Ling, "Eunuch Ling, what exactly do you want to say?"

The eunuch Ling looked at Zhao Kuo, and said word by word: "Wu Xinjun, you want to be the king, don't you?"

There was a deathly silence in the room.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo let out a long breath and said, "Eunuch Ling, why do you have such an idea?"

The eunuch Ling calmly said: "I didn't have this kind of thinking at first, but with everything in front of me, I have no choice but to think about it this way."

Zhao Kuo laughed suddenly: "I can't tell, so the eunuch Ling is still a real wise man.

That's right, this Hou really thought so. "

Zhao Kuo had a showdown.

For Zhao Kuo, when eunuch Ling raised this question, Zhao Kuo realized one thing, that is, this matter must have a result.

There are only two possibilities for the eunuch Ling asking such a question. The first is that the eunuch Ling is seeking evidence and then going back to tell King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo felt that this possibility was very low, so there was only the second one, which was that the eunuch was tempted.

Yes, although it seems that eunuch Ling is the person who should be most loyal to King Zhao, Zhao Kuo knows very clearly that at least the eunuch Ling in front of him is not.

Why do you say that?

Because in many political incidents in the past, eunuch Ling participated and helped Zhao Kuo.

In these political events, the interests of Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wang were not completely consistent.

Sometimes when the eunuch order helped Zhao Kuo, it was tantamount to secretly dragging Zhao Wang's hind legs.

Coupled with the protection of the eunuch Ling's family in the case of Queen Zhou, Zhao Kuo confirmed that the character and interests of the eunuch Ling are more important to the eunuch Ling than allegiance to King Zhao.

Since interests can impress eunuch Ling, then of course Zhao Kuo can use interests to attract eunuch Ling.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo decisively chose the showdown.

Even eunuch Ling didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would show his cards so decisively, so eunuch Ling was also stunned for several seconds.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Why, the eunuch Ling was also surprised?

This doesn't match the momentum you've been pressing on me just now. "

Eunuch Ling looked at Zhao Kuo with a very complicated expression, and said after a long time: "Mr. Wu Xin, you are really very courageous."

Usurping the throne, this kind of thing that no one else dared to think about, Zhao Kuo actually admitted it so openly.

From this point alone, we can know that Zhao Kuo has definitely been planning in secret for a long time.

If Zhao Kuo really planned for a long time, then it means that all the conjectures of eunuch Ling are true.

Although the expression on Zhao Kuo's face was very calm at this moment, eunuch Ling suddenly had a feeling that Zhao Kuo sitting in front of him was actually a hidden tiger, as long as he opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, You can swallow the eunuch's order directly!Zhao Kuo looked at the eunuch Ling calmly, smiled and said to the eunuch Ling, "Since the eunuch Ling already knows about this matter, I would like to ask, what exactly is the eunuch Ling planning to do?"

The eunuch fell into silence.

This kind of silence seemed a little deliberate, so Zhao Kuo continued to speak unhurriedly.

"If Eunuch Ling is willing to help me, then I can promise that your son will at least become a feudal monarch in the future, and it will be hereditary."

It can be said that hereditary monarchs are extremely rare in this era, and they are rare.

This award is extremely tempting for anyone.

Sure enough, Eunuch Ling's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the expression on his face suddenly became very tangled.

For eunuch Ling, in fact, his life is already enough, no matter whether it is a high official and rich salary or glory and wealth, eunuch Ling has already enjoyed it all.

Eunuch Ling's only regret is that he is not a complete man, so he cannot have offspring. Fortunately, his brother adopted a nephew as his son, so that Eunuch Ling also has an heir in name.

Due to the special status of eunuch Ling, this son has always been kept secret, and the name on the surface is still eunuch Ling's nephew.

Eunuch Ling has always brought this adopted son by his side, and he is truly cultivating him as an heir.

This is the real reason why Queen Zhou used this "nephew" to threaten eunuch Ling, which directly made eunuch Ling extremely disgusted with Queen Zhou.

Now when he heard that Zhao Kuo could provide this son with the title of hereditary monarch, eunuch Ling was really tempted.

He didn't hide the matter from Zhao Kuo about his son, and the eunuch Ling himself was not surprised at all. After all, Zhao Kuo was the Prime Minister of Zhao State, with such a powerful force, it was not difficult to investigate clearly.

As for King Zhao, even if the eunuch Ling really exposed Zhao Kuo, King Zhao would of course reward the eunuch Ling, but he would never give the eunuch Ling's son a title of king. Nobility, not to mention the title of a hereditary monarch.

The eunuch Ling's voice trembled a little, and he said to Zhao Kuo, "Do you really mean what Wu Xinjun said?"

Zhao Kuo looked at the eunuch order and said very seriously: "Of course this sentence is true.

Please eunuch Ling think about it carefully, has any of the promises I made in the past so many years not counted?

Besides, compared with that throne, do you think I'm really reluctant to bear the title of a mere hereditary monarch? "

This sentence directly convinced the eunuch Ling.

Indeed, compared with the supreme throne, what are these titles?

Frankly speaking, if eunuch Ling stood in Zhao Kuo's position, eunuch Ling felt that he would have given the same answer.

Eunuch Ling finally nodded.

"Since Wu Xinjun has said so, then the old man can naturally cooperate with you."
