Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 483

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there is no need to talk about it, everyone, go to my house today, have a few drinks and celebrate!"

Everyone laughed and nodded at the same time.

After a while, Zhao Kuo got into the carriage, staring at the palace gradually going away, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

"Will my wives in the future also fight each other like this?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, then smiled again: "Probably not."

Among the three wives, Tian Wan, as the princess of Qi State, is the well-deserved boss no matter in terms of status or age.

Qiu'er was originally a female official next to Tian Wan, and she was loyal to Tian Wan, so naturally there was no problem.

As for Yiquwei, let alone, this girl has a very straightforward personality, you let her play Gongdou?

nonexistent.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Kuo does not marry a new wife to go home in the future, the current three wives will definitely not have any conflicts because of the next Zhao Kingdom's throne.

This can't help but give Zhao Kuo a headache: "So, can I not marry a new woman in the future?"

Zhao Kuo began to seriously consider this issue!

Chapter 961

Zhao Kuo did what he said.

After returning home, Zhao Kuo immediately wrote a memorial.

The meaning of this memorial is also very clear, that is to abolish the empress!Retirement is necessary, and it is also the last and most critical step in the whole plan.

If the position of Queen Zhou is not abolished, then the result of Zhao Kuo's entire plan is actually a slap in the face of Zhou Shi.

No matter how angry King Zhao was, it can be seen from the fact that he only ordered the Zhou brothers to be placed in confinement that day. In fact, King Zhao still did not completely give up on the Zhou brothers in his heart.

Zhao Kuo was not naive enough to think that he could kill the Zhou brothers in one step. Zhao Kuo only needed to abolish Queen Zhou.

Abolish Queen Zhou and put Concubine Li on the throne, then Zhao Kuo's pillow wind in the palace can be blown hard.

In order to ensure that the second prince becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne smoothly in the future, it is foreseeable that Concubine Li will inevitably speak good things about Zhao Kuo and bad things about the Zhou brothers in King Zhao's ears in the future.

It may be nothing once or twice, and it may be nothing for a day or two, but what about hundreds of times, hundreds of days?

At that time, no matter how determined Zhao Wang is, he will inevitably have doubts about the Zhou brothers.

By that time, Zhao Kuo will be able to successfully overthrow the Zhou brothers and control the entire government in his own hands.

This is the true sense of power to the government and the public!After realizing this step, Zhao Kuo has become a power minister at the level of Cao Cao. The next thing to do is to slowly and unknowingly take away all the power of King Zhao, and then let King Zhao abdicate, Zhao Kuo enthroned!It seems to take a long time to say it, but Zhao Kuo is sure that it will not take a few years.

"Dawn has come, can the truly sunny days be far behind?"

Zhao Kuo said something to himself, and then put the abandoned memorial just written in the drawer.

Zhao Kuo didn't want to submit this memorial immediately, and the reason is very simple.

Zhao Kuo is now Zhao Guoxiangbang, the head of Zhao Guo's hundreds of officials, and a "big brother" figure in the true sense.

The boss is never the first to express his opinion, but to stand up when there are many opinions, and make a final decision!The next day, the anecdote of "the rape was caught and killed" in the palace immediately began to spread wildly.

The common people have always been very happy to hear this kind of "big man secrets", not to mention the palace secrets that were revealed by the palace of all the big men this time, it is absolutely fascinating to talk about.

In just one day, the matter had already spread throughout Handan, and then began to spread rapidly towards the surroundings.

Almost everyone in Handan City is discussing this matter.

"I didn't expect that although Concubine Li was born in a brothel, she is not flirtatious at all. She even summons artists as an eunuch in order to keep her chastity for the king."

"Yeah, there is also Lord Wu Xin. It was said before that Lord Wu Xin was the patron of Concubine Li outside the palace. I also asked why Lord Wu Xin joined forces with a brothel girl like Concubine Li.

Now it seems that Wu Xinjun must have known that Concubine Li is actually very loyal, so he did this. "

"Wu Xinjun knows people with his eyes!"

"The queen of Zhou is different. I didn't expect that the queen of Zhou has always had such a good reputation, but she made such a false accusation, which is really chilling."

"You don't understand that, do you?

In fact, it is a matter of tutoring. The women who come from the families of these big shots seem to be elegant and generous, but they are actually full of bad things, and they are more calculating than the other. "

"Yes, yes, although Concubine Li was born in a brothel, she is actually a child of our common people, and she is down-to-earth in everything she does."

"You said that it would be great if Concubine Li could be a queen. In this case, she will be a real queen who can take care of our common people."

Among these remarks, there are naturally a large number of nightingale spies quietly guiding public opinion, in order to point the sharp edge of public opinion directly at Queen Zhou and the Zhou brothers, and to abolish the queen and further attack Zhou. Contribute to the strength of the brothers.

Since the Zhou Brothers, or politicians of this era, do not have any correct control and understanding of public opinion at all, and people are completely unaware that public opinion can be guided, so in just a few days, Immediately, a huge "anti-week" sound wave was formed.

Until this time, Zhao Kuo proceeded to the next step in an orderly manner.

Next, Han Fei, a lecturer in Zhao Guoxue Palace in Handan, sent a memorial.

In Han Fei's memorial, he listed a lot of mistakes made by the Queen of Zhou and the Zhou family. He directly compared the Queen of Zhou to Daji, and the Zhou brothers to Fei Zhong and You Hun, the treacherous ministers favored by King Zhou of Shang. If these three people can continue to steal high positions in Zhao Guo's Cholera Chao Gang, then it will definitely bring great disasters to Zhao Guo in the future!Although Han Fei's identity is not obvious at the moment, everyone knows that Han Fei is one of Zhao Kuo's confidantes, so when the content of the memorial was spread in Handan City, the whole Handan City was in an uproar.

Everyone knows that this is Zhao Kuo officially launching a general attack on Zhou's faction!So what kind of reaction will King Zhao make?

This is what everyone cares about.

King Zhao sat in the palace, staring at the memorial written by Han Fei in front of him, expressionless.

Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and then Concubine Li threw herself into King Zhao's arms.

"My lord, don't read these useless memorials every day, come and play with my concubine for a while!"

Faced with the provocation of a stunner like Concubine Li, how many people in the world can hold on?

Zhao Wang immediately felt a hot current slowly rising from his lower abdomen.

Zhao Wang coughed and said: "My concubine, wait a moment, I will think about how to instruct this memorial, and then I will have a good time with you."

That's what I said, but Zhao Wang's hands have already started to be dishonest.

Concubine Li snorted, her whole body seemed to melt into King Zhao's embrace, and she said coquettishly, "What kind of memorial needs to be approved by the king at this time, so just let him go."

Zhao Wang was fascinated by Concubine Li, and his mind was no longer on the memorial. He said casually: "It's the memorial written by Han Fei, Wu Xinjun's confidant. This person's reading is good, but he keeps saying that he wants to make the Zhou family exterminate. , the widow is still a bit reluctant."

For King Zhao, the Zhou family is a tool he uses to check and balance Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo. Now that the Zhou family is disobedient, it really needs to be suppressed, but it is not to the point where the Zhou family must be exterminated directly.

Concubine Li felt tense when she heard the words, but on the surface she acted nonchalantly, and even put on a more seductive look: "What did the king say, have you forgotten how Queen Zhou arranges her concubines?

If it weren't for the king's wisdom, the concubine and the child would have already been torn apart by Queen Zhou's five horses, and the bones would have been thrown in nowhere to feed the dogs. "

As she said that, Concubine Li's eyes gradually became moist again, with an expression on the verge of weeping.

When King Zhao saw this, his body froze immediately.

It has to be said that according to the degree of anger of King Zhao at that time, what Concubine Li said was indeed very likely to happen.

Zhao Wang said helplessly: "My concubine, haven't all the widows already apologized to you?"

Concubine Li said angrily: "Apologizing is of no use, but there is no real action. You men are all like this. You always talk about it. It's useless in reality!"

Zhao Wang said helplessly: "Okay, okay, practical actions, right?

The widow will give you practical actions. "

With that said, King Zhao picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on Han Fei's memorial.

"It's just nonsense, the two of the Zhou family are important ministers of the country, how can they destroy the family?"

This review was quickly passed on to Zhao Kuo.

Seeing Zhao Wang's words on the memorial in front of him, Zhao Kuo smiled slowly, and waved to Pang Nuan in front of him: "Pang Qing, come and see this comment from the king."

Pang Nuan hurried over, and after seeing it clearly, she immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, that's really great!"

For veterans like Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan who have been in the political arena for many years, in this short comment, Zhao Wang's thoughts are actually very obvious.

First of all, from a literal understanding, the two of the Zhou family are important ministers of the country and cannot be exterminated.

This sentence sounds like defending the Zhou family, but it is not.

Zhao Wang's inner meaning is that the Zhou family did make a mistake, but this crime will not reach the point of extermination.

In other words, King Zhao felt that the Zhous made a mistake!Everyone is no longer a child, and if they make mistakes in the political arena, they will be punished.

So what King Zhao really meant was that the Zhou family could continue to punish them, but after the punishment was over, they would still be important ministers, let alone exterminate their clan.

You must know that the two Zhous have already been demoted from their titles and ordered to think about their mistakes at home, and now there is another wave of punishment, which is definitely hurting.

Secondly, in addition to the words that King Zhao said, there are also some things that he didn't say, and people he didn't mention.

Who is not mentioned?

Of course it is Queen Zhou!There are actually three fault parties in this incident, namely Queen Zhou, Zhou Shaofen, and Zhou Shaoliang.

However, King Zhao's comments only mentioned the brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang, but they never mentioned Queen Zhou.

So it can be understood that Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang will not be punished for the death penalty of extermination, but what about Queen Zhou?

As the saying goes, if there is no prohibition, you can do it, and the will of King Zhao is the law of the country, so since King Zhao did not prohibit the attack on Queen Zhou, it means that Zhao Kuo came to the conclusion with a smile: "Now, we can The post-abolition process has begun."

Pang Nuan was gearing up and said, "The old man will present the memorial tomorrow!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and patted Pang Nuan on the shoulder: "Pang Qing, we are big bosses, and big bosses can't act too hastily!"

The next day, the Handan Order of the State of Zhao issued a memorial, impeaching the Zhou brothers, hoping to remove the Zhou brothers from their positions; at the same time impeaching the Queen of Zhou, thinking that Queen Zhou's virtue is not worthy, she should not be allowed to dominate the harem, and the Queen of Zhou should be abolished!If Han Fei's memorial is still relatively vague, and it can be regarded as a traditional type of "speaking bad words" to attack each other, then the memorial of Handan Order directly shows a more specific direction.

To put it simply, Han Fei belongs to the category of "what do you look at, and then look at you to death", while Handan Ling has already picked up his chair without saying a word.

After the Handan Order, a large number of officials from Zhao Kuo's faction came forward to impeach the Zhou brothers and Queen Zhou.

The sound of "anti-Zhou" surged in Zhao Guozhong in an instant, with the potential to sweep everything.

As for the Zhou brothers, of course the courtiers of their faction tried their best to defend the Queen of Zhou and the Zhou brothers, but the problem is that the power of Zhou's faction was originally smaller than that of Zhao Kuo's. One faction made another mistake, so it is impossible to be firmer than Zhao Kuo's side in terms of tone or various positions.

The result of this is that the defense of Zhou's faction was directly submerged in the vast ocean, and there was hardly any noise. Zhao Guo's political arena was completely "anti-Zhou".

Until this time, the first important official who "fired" appeared.

He is Li Mu.

As a soldier, Li Mu's memorial can be said to be extremely straightforward, just one sentence.

"My minister, Li Mu, asks the king to abolish the empress, Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang from the Qing clan!"

The state of Zhao came from the state of Jin, and in the state of Jin, "Qing" belonged to a position equivalent to that of the current state of Zhao.

At that time, the state of Jin was the six ministers, and now the state of Zhao is the six ministers, so the people of Zhao are often accustomed to using "qing" as a written term to refer to the ministers.

Li Mu's memorial immediately raised the whole atmosphere to another level.

Now, brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang, who had been in confinement at home, couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly wrote their memorials.

The memorial of the Zhou brothers first admitted their mistakes, saying that we were just confused for a while, but we have always been loyal to the king. The reason why we did something wrong this time was because we wanted to suppress Lord Wu Xin for the king so we went astray.

The second is to show loyalty, saying that our Zhou family and the queen's loyalty to the king is beyond doubt, and please don't listen to the slander of Wu Xinjun's faction, otherwise Wu Xinjun's faction will definitely be the last in Zhao's political arena in the future, causing many troubles , It will even threaten Zhao Guosheji.

After the memorials from both parties were sent up, there was a moment of calm in the entire political arena of Zhao State, and everyone was waiting for King Zhao's response.

Surprisingly, Zhao Wang did not respond.

Whether it was Li Mu or the Zhou Brothers' memorials, everything seemed to have disappeared.

So, next, Pang Nuan and Xu Li each wrote a memorial, their tone was as severe as Li Mu's, and they also demanded severe punishment of the Zhou brothers and the abolition of Queen Zhou.

Then, Zhao Wang still did not respond.

Now, the atmosphere began to become subtle.

In Zhao Kuo's mansion, a new gathering was held.

All the confidantes gathered together for the sole purpose of rebelling against Zhou!Li Mu said with some displeasure: "Why is this king so dawdling?

It's all here now, can't you still make up your mind? "

Pang Nuan stroked his beard and said, "Although the king is young, it seems that this kind of thinking is really hard to guess."

After hearing what his confidants said, Zhao Kuo smiled.

"Isn't the king's mind already on the surface?"

Chapter 962 Zhao Kuo entered the palace to establish the situation

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, everyone was also stunned.
